Bella Swan
Son of a bitch! I internally groaned as I woke up. I was tired. Why the fuck they call it morning sickness I don't know because I spent half the night throwing up. I ran a hand over my face and tensed as I felt my stomach turning again. I breathed heavily in and out of my nose and waited, and hoped, for the feeling to pass. It thankfully subsided and I rolled myself out of bed. I waited a minute before moving and found that I was only mildly nauseous.
I showered, managed down some apple juice, changed and headed outside to meet Alice. I stopped in my tracks when I saw what she was driving. It was a bright yellow Porsche with the top rolled back. I closed my mouth before I started drooling.
"Shit," I breathed as I ran a hand against the car. Alice just beamed from behind her large sunglasses. "Where did you get this?"
"A certain, wonderful brother of mine bought it for me," she answered smoothing a hand over the dashboard. Even though she had two brothers I instantly knew who she was talking about. A giant smile flew to my lips thinking about Edward. He was so sweet.
"Why?" I questioned as I got in. She shrugged, cryptically, and revved to car to life. I sighed as she drove in typical Cullen fashion- fast.
"Alice," I warned as I held the back of my hand to my mouth. She looked over at me and instantly slowed to the speed limit.
"Don't you dare puke in this car," she replied sounding horrified by the idea. I closed my eyes and laid my head against the seat.
"So," Alice began again, probably trying to distract me from throwing up in her precious car. "You and my brother, huh?" I opened one eye to look at her. I hadn't told her anything about…whatever Edward and I were. That was because, well frankly, I didn't know.
"What about him?" I questioned, closing my eye again.
"A little birdie told me that you guys had a date the other day." I chuckled.
"I'd like to kill that fucking birdie. We hung out," I clarified. Alice squealed a little and began almost bouncing up and down. I placed a restraining hand on her knee to keep her seated and driving.
"Tell me about it, woman!" I laughed at her enthusiasm. I recounted Edward and my date, making her squeal at the appropriate parts. I glared at her slightly as I told her how she interrupted us.
"I'm so sorry!" I couldn't help but laugh at her heartbreaking face.
"It's okay, Alice. I'll see him tomorrow night anyway." I groaned internally as the words left my loud mouth.
"What!?" Alice asked loudly as she pulled into the school parking lot. She killed the engine and turned toward me. "Another date?" I really couldn't be annoyed at her excitement because I was excited too. I nodded before exiting her car and quickly entering the school. I really wasn't in the mood for 300 questions with Alice.
The first half of the day went by without incident and I was hopeful that the whole day would turn out well.
I sighed loudly as lunch finally rolled around. I made sure all of my students were taken care of before sitting at the teachers table with Alice.
"Isabelle Marie," Alice said darkly under her breath. "Fucking spill." My mouth fell open as I was a bit shocked by her outburst. Knowing her, though, she was probably pissed all morning that I hadn't offered her more details about Edward and I. I sighed before telling her all about the phone call and his plan to come over the next night. Surprisingly, she just smirked.
"What, woman?" I asked, irritated. I wasn't usually annoyed this easily. These stupid pregnancy hormones were getting old fucking fast.
"You are so freakin lucky that you're pregnant or I would kick your little ass for being so bitchy right now," She said, again quietly so they little ears surrounding us didn't hear. I snorted at her comment.
"I don't mean to be so snappy. I just can't seem to stop," I complained. She smiled apologetically.
She raised one eyebrow before smiling devilishly. "You know what would help.."
"Don't say it," I groaned putting my head against the cool table.
"Retail therapy!" she called excitedly. "I think it's time we go shopping."
"No," I stated plainly. There was no way in hell I was up for a shopping trip. I'm pretty sure the shop owners didn't want me throwing up all over their merchandise.
"Oh come on, it'll be fun. We could get stuff for the baby-"
"Alice," I groaned.
"-And don't you want to look hot for your big date with Edward!" I felt my lips tug into a smile. Alice smiled too, knowing she had me.
"Alright," I conceded, earning an excited gasp from her. "But I say when it's over."
She agreed eagerly. "Fine!" I laughed quietly as she actually began mentally mapping out our day. Lunch ended all too quickly and I had to return to my students. I was quite relieved and kind of excited for the rest of my day. I hadn't actually bought any baby things yet, and some would argue it's too early but maybe if I had a few items I would feel better about all of this. I was brought out of my thoughts when one student yelled my name and another ran up to me crying.
The end of my work day finally rolled around and Alice was at my door before I even packed my stuff up.
"Ready?" she asked excitedly. I nodded with a small smile. She grabbed my hand and pretty much dragged me to her car. The whole way she chattered excitedly about what the baby needed and how many he or she needed of said item. I just focused on not emptying the contents of my stomach, though few, on the interior of her new car.
Soon she expertly parallel parked her car on the street and we were walking toward our first destination.
"Alice!" I said sharply making her turn around.
"What? What! Are you okay?" she asked worried as she grabbed hold of my arm.
"We are not shopping here," I said pointing at the store. Alice visibly relaxed and let out a small laugh.
"Yes, we are," she said as she pulled me into the boutique. It was called Bullfrogs & Butterflies and it was entirely overpriced. I groaned as the little bell above the door dinged announcing our entrance.
"Welcome to Bullfrogs and Butterflies!" a middle aged woman called excitedly from her place behind the counter. I smiled meekly at her and turned to find Alice who already had items in her arms.
I sighed as I began walking around the shop. I cringed as I picked up the first outfit I'd liked. The price tag had read forty-six dollars. Forty-six fucking dollars for a little girls' dress that she would probably shit or throw up all over. My entire outfit probably hadn't been forty-six dollars. I rolled my eyes as I placed the dress back.
"Oh, Bella, look!" Alice called happily as she held up two onesies, which I know knew what they were. I laughed at what they had on them. One read : "My mom is one hot bitch!" and the other read : "One bad little mother sucker" with a James Dean looking baby on it.
"Those..are..fantastic," I said through my laughter.
"We're getting them," Alice declared after she had finished laughing too. I nodded in agreement. I couldn't pass these up, even if they were twenty bucks each.
Soon though, Alice was out of control. I had to literally follow behind her and put things back on the rack. I couldn't do this by myself and I had to call in reinforcements. I hit the third speed dial on my phone and waited.
"What's up, Bella?" Rosalie asked as she picked up.
"Well, Alice and I are downtown in a baby boutique," was all I got out before Rose understood.
"I'm on my way," she stated. I thanked her and gave her the store name before hanging up.
By the time Rose got there Alice had two armfuls of baby clothing and a stroller filled up as well.
"Mary Alice Whitlock," Rose admonished. Alice didn't look one bit apologetic as she put another item in the stroller.
"But look, Rose!" Alice defended as she held up a tiny shirt that simply had ducks covering it. I saw Rose's determination waver and a smile began forming on her face.
"Hold your ground," I hissed at her but knew it was a losing battle when she walked toward Alice and grabbed hold of the small shirt.
"It's so cute!" she squealed in a very un-Rosalie like manner. I slapped a hand to my face and sat in one of the rocking chairs on display. A few other women had entered the store and were looking on, some annoyed but most smiling. I had just closed my eyes and laid against the chair when I heard my phone ringing loudly.
Green eyes, yeah the spotlight, shines upon you
And how could, anybody, deny you
I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter, now I've met you
And honey you should know, that I could never go on without you
Green eyes
I scrambled and cursed to find my phone in my black hole of a purse before finally pulling it out and answering. "Hello." I lifted my head to find Alice staring at me with the biggest smile.
Shit. She knew exactly who was calling.
"Hey, Bella," Edward's deep voice responded on the other line.
"What's going on?" I asked, curious as to why he was calling.
"Just wondering what you were up to," he said with ease. I smiled. He just wants to talk to me.
"Well Alice managed to drag me out to buy ba-" but I stopped quickly. Edward still didn't know I was pregnant. I racked my brain for a word to finish that sentence. "-Ba-a-th stuff. You know girl stuff. Shampoo. Conditioner."
So fucking eloquent, Bella.
"Ha," he laughed. "Sounds like Alice." He'd bought it. I sighed.
"So what are you up to?" I asked.
"I'm just grading these horribly boring papers by some students," he answered glumly, making me laugh.
"Edward, I'm sure they're not that bad," I said playfully. He cleared his throat.
"Achille-Claude Debussy was a French composer. Along with Maurice Ravel, he is considered one of the most prominent figures working within the field of Impressionist music, though he himself intensely disliked the term when applied to his compositions. Debussy is not only among the most important of all French composers; he was also a central figure in European music at the turn of the twentieth century," he read one of the papers in front of him. I held out as long as I could before stopping him.
"Good. Lord. That is boring," I admitted with a giggle. He laughed too.
"You're telling me. Now imagine having to read at least two hundred of those kind of copied straight from Wikipedia garbage." I laughed harder at his description.
"Have some sympathy, Edward," I chided. "When you were their age did you want to sit around and write essays?"
"No way."
"Keep that in mind when you're grading," I advised. He chuckled. We talked for a couple of minutes before Alice rudely interrupted.
"Bella," she excitedly flittered over to me and sat on the arm of the chair. "This would be perfect for the baby!"
Curse you, Alice. Curse you and your loud fucking mouth.
I gasped and placed my free hand tightly around the base of my phone while throwing Alice a dirty look. "Shut. The. Hell. Up." I said, quietly but making sure each word was heard. She looked at me with wide eyes. I mouthed "Edward does NOT know I'm pregnant." Her mouth formed into a little 'O' and she skittered away before she could cause more damage. I brought the phone back to my ear.
"Bella?" I heard Edward's confused voice.
"Yeah, still here," I responded with a nervous laugh. "Alice just wanted to, uh, show me something."
"Oh. What baby was she talking about?" he asked curiously. My stomach dropped into my butt while simultaneously wanting to rid itself.
"Um, nothing. Well we're, uh, going to a baby shower soon and need gifts so…" I trailed off. I was a horrible liar and I felt ten times worse lying to Edward. My face burned and I had a good feeling I was going to be sick. I really didn't want Edward listing to that.
There's nothing sexier than listening to someone throw up on the phone.
"Sorry, but Alice is requesting my full attention," I began. This part was at least true. Alice was now standing in front of me with Rose and gesturing for me to "hang up the fucking phone" as she had mouthed it. "I have to go," I said glumly.
"That's okay. I know how Alice is." He's so sweet. "I guess I'll talk to you later?" It sounded more like a question than a statement.
I nodded before realizing he couldn't hear that. "That'd be great. Bye." I hung up and looked up at Alice and Rose.
"Why does Edward not know you're pregnant?" Rose asked. The question made my stomach turn and as they say that was the straw that broke the camel's back. I clamped a hand over my mouth and ran to the back of the boutique where the bathroom was. I threw open the stall door and crashed to the floor as my stomach heaved. Alice came in behind me and held my hair back while rubbing my back.
Ten minutes later I sat up fully feeling, at least for now, much better. I exited the stall and ran water through my mouth. I noticed packaged mints by the door and grabbed a few of those. I left the shop and sat outside on a bench with Rose and Alice following.
"Why haven't you told Edward yet?" Rose asked more gently this time as she sat next to me.
"Why would I?" I questioned back.
"Maybe because you guys are dating and he deserves to know," Alice answered. I scoffed.
"We're hardly dating. We hung out ONE time. I'll see him tomorrow night. That's it so far. Those two things does not a relationship make," I answered dryly. I would have loved to say that Edward and I were dating but that just wasn't the truth. Why should I fill him in on every little, or not so little, detail?
Rose just looked at me and shook her head. "Bella, we can both see how much you're into Edward." Alice nodded fervently in agreement.
"And," Alice interrupted. "I know he's completely interested in you too." I rolled my eyes.
"And how would you know that?" She pursed her lips, as if thinking before answering.
"I can't tell you," she held her hand up when I went to interrupt. "I can't tell you right now but later I can, alright?" I shook my head in defeat.
"So will you tell him?" Rose asked. I shrugged.
"I'll think about it." That was the best I could do for now. Rose and Alice nodded before heading back into the store.
"Oh!" Alice said remembering something. "Can we have our guesses now?" Fuck. I had hoped that they would maybe just forget about finding out about the father.
"Don't you think you've both tormented me enough for one day?" I asked hopefully. Alice and Rose looked at each other before nodding.
"Fine," Rose sighed. "But we get two guesses tomorrow." I laughed and nodded at her demand. We spent about twenty more minutes in the store and surprisingly only walked out with two bags filled with clothes, all androgynous, and blankets and booties and pacifiers. We decided to head out to dinner after shopping.
I was beat as I headed into my tiny apartment. I flicked the light on and cringed at the mess. It was already past ten but if Edward was coming here tomorrow then I'd have to clean up. I hooked my iPod up to my iHome and began cleaning. I tripped in surprise as the first song began playing.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas

I laughed and dance as I sang my way through the entire song while still managing to clean. I spent the next hour cleaning and finally crawled into bed exhausted a little after eleven. In my sleepy haze the thought floated through my mind that Edward hadn't called back but it left as quickly as it came. Right before I fell asleep my phone beeped. I flipped it open and smiled at the text.
Sweet dreams
-Edward
I smiled as I fell into a peaceful sleep.
Edward Cullen
I don't think the weekend could have passed any slower. At last it was Monday and I would finally see Bella tomorrow. I had been smiling like an idiot since our last phone conversation and suddenly the urge to hear her voice was incredible and undeniable. I dialed her number and waited anxiously.
"Hello," her beautiful voice rang on the opposite end. I smiled through the entire length of our conversation before things got weird and she had to go. I hated to let her go but she left me with the knowledge that she wanted to talk later.
Not long after we hung up my phone rang again.
I'm too sexy for my shirt too sexy for my shirt
So sexy it hurts
I rolled my eyes as I answered. "Hello, Emmett."
"How's it hanging, Ed?" he asked with so much class.
"Like a horse," I responded. Emmett howled with laughter before speaking again.
"Jasper's over here, the women are gone, let's hang out," he suggested. It actually sounded like a pretty good idea. If I didn't get out I would just sit around thinking about Bella.
"Sure, bro. I'll be over in a few." I headed over to Emmett's place to be greeted at the door with loud screaming.
"Jasper! You shithead!" I laughed at his very loud outburst. I rang the bell and an angry Emmett opened the door a minute later.
"Jasper, did you lose the game for him, again?" I asked knowingly. He nodded, trying to contain his laughter.
"Dude, this is not funny. This is the third time tonight you've done this shit," Emmett said exasperatedly. Jasper laughed loudly before turning his attention to his phone. He was probably texting Alice.
"I'll play with you, Em," I offered. He smiled brightly and grabbed us some pizza before setting up a new game and handing me a controller. We played and talked and ate for a good couple of hours before things changed.
"I bet we can look forward to a lot more nights like this," Jasper said from his spot laid out on the couch.
"What do you mean?" I questioned, only half caring because of the game.
"Well with the baby coming I'm sure the girls will be out shopping all the time," Emmett offered with a 'duh' attitude. I was still confused.
"Who's baby?" I asked getting more into the game.
"Bella's, hello," Jasper answered.
Oh, that's nic- wait? What!?
"WHAT!" I roared as I threw the controller down and turned toward Jasper.
"Edward!" Emmett whined as he lost the game again. I could care less.
"What did you just say, Jasper," I demanded, rather than asked. He looked at me, eyes wide. At that exact moment his phone beeped. He looked down, cursed, and then looked back up at me.
"Apparently, I wasn't supposed to tell you," he said cringing slightly. Emmett just stood there, looking confused.
'What's the big deal?" he asked earning a kick to the back of the leg by Jasper. "Ow."
"Edward and Bella are kind of together, I think," Jasper attempted to clarify, poorly I might add.
"Ohhh," Emmett said.
Bella was pregnant. She didn't look pregnant. She can't be that far along.
I took a deep breath to calm myself. What did this mean for us? Was the father still in the picture? I would not be the man to break up a happy family, no matter how badly I wanted Bella. I sighed as I made my way to the door, putting on my coat.
"I'll talk to you guys later," I said in a daze as I left. I'm glad I took a cab over because I wouldn't have been able to turn off my brain long enough to drive safely home.
Bella was pregnant and she hadn't thought to share this with me. I felt myself getting angry and I tried to take a few deep breaths to calm down. It wasn't really working. It was little past ten thirty when I got home.
Maybe I had grossly misinterpreted her feelings for me. Usually when a woman was pregnant she told people who were at least her friends and Bella hadn't even fucking done that. What were we doing then?
I sighed as I stepped into the bathroom. Maybe a shower would help erase some of my emotions. I was getting too worked up about this. I stripped, turned the hot water on and stepped under the stream. The water worked as predicted and loosened the tension in my muscles the longer I sat under it. It also seemed to clear my head a bit.
Maybe Bella had been planning to tell me. I did just start really talking to her. She probably was just waiting. This idea made me feel a lot better. I sat under the shower stream a few minutes longer before exiting, changing and crawling into bed. It was a little after eleven and I hadn't called Bella. Shit. Did she even want me to call her? Or had I assumed that too? I settled for what seemed like the next best thing. A text message. I hit send and drifted off into a confused sleep.
I awoke the next morning with the delight of not having to teach a class today. I just had a few meetings and then was free. On the other hand though, Bella was busy all day and I wouldn't see her until this evening. I was still mildly annoyed that she hadn't told me she was pregnant yet but I refused to think about that today.
The day dragged on until it was finally six o'clock. I knocked on Bella's door a little nervous. I'm pretty sure tonight was the night I would find out what she wanted from us.
I was greeted with a smiling Bella and I found myself mentally questioning if she had that "pregnancy glow."
"Hey, Edward," she said after I had just been staring at her. I shook my head to clear it.
"Hey, Bella," I finally responded. "What smells so good?" I questioned. She wrinkled her nose at the compliment.
"I'm just doing a little cooking," she answered with a shrug. I let my eyes roam over her body to in fact find an apron tied to the bottom half of it. It hung low on her jeans and there was a slight amount of skin exposed between her blue shirt and the jeans. My eyes lingered on her abdomen to see if I could in fact find a baby bump. She cleared her throat and self-consciously wrapped her arms around her stomach.
"Come in, please," she giggled. I laughed too because I'd been in her hallway for quite some time. "I know it's not much," she said as she took my coat, "but it's home."
"It's cute," I offered as I looked around her apartment. It wasn't really that bad. Bella rounded the corner into her kitchen and I followed leaning against the wall. I was met with the most pleasant sight. Bella moved around her small kitchen adding to the pot cooking on the stove. Her body swayed slightly, probably not intentionally but it was sexy. I licked my lips before clearing my throat.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" I asked. My mother raised me right. Bella shook her head and tossed her hair over her shoulder to smile at me. My breath caught in my throat.
"Thanks, but it's pretty much done." She stirred the pot a bit more before turning back to me. "Wanna taste it?" I nodded and closed to distance between us with few steps. She held the spoon to my lips and I hesitated a moment. Not because I didn't want to but because this was such an incredible turn on. I closed my lips around the spoon and moaned
Fuck me, the woman could cook.
"That's amazing," I admitted. She ducked her head a bit before muttering a thank you. She can cook but sure as hell can't take a compliment. She filled our plates with the pasta alfredo, bread and chicken. She set the plates down at the table and gestured form me to sit.
The meal was incredible but she hardly touched it. I asked her if she was alright but she shrugged me off. It didn't escape my notice that she had left the meal twice looking a little worse for the wear. I decided to file that away for later.
After dinner Bella pulled a banana pie out of the fridge. There was no coincidence. Someone, and I'm betting on Alice, had told her this was my favorite. It too was beyond description.
Soon, stuffed beyond belief, Bella led me to the living room. I sat on the couch and she sat beside me with her legs curled under her.
"So," I began not really knowing where to go with this. How do you ask someone why they didn't tell you they were pregnant or where we were going? My eyes floated around the room until I saw exactly what I needed. There was a small piece of cardboard and plastic on the floor that contained a single pacifier.
"Is that for the baby shower you're going to?" I asked, trying my hardest to sound nonchalant. Her eyes nearly bugged out of her head and she coughed a bit.
"Um, yeah it is," she said looking down at her hands. I got off of the couch and strode across the room to grab the pacifier.
"It's weird to think that we used to be using these things," I mused looking at it. "And that one day each of us might have little ones that-" but I never got to finish my sentence. Bella clamped a hand over her mouth and jetted toward the back of her apartment. I stood, dazed for a moment before following after her.
I entered her bathroom too find her heaving into the porcelain seat violently. I knelt beside her and grabbed her hair and swept it away from her face. I could feel the heat radiating from her face. Her bathroom being tiny was a good thing at the moment because I was able to grab a washcloth and wet it without releasing her hair. After I was sure she was finished I placed the wet cloth against her forehead. She moaned in approval. My heart tore a little as her eyes opened and they were watery.
"Edward," she said shakily before clearing her throat. "I...I have to tell you something."
so, tiny cliffhanger. this is like the longest chapter i've ever written and if i continued it would have gotten out of control.
anyway, do you think Bella tells him? I wonder..oh wait, i know ;)
and who saw the two New Moon Clips from comic-con? i freaking loved them. i feel like a complete twinerd again!
you should definitely review because if you do you get Emmett dancing to I'm Too Sexy and come on, who doesn't want that?
anddd after you review me go read What Lies Beneath by Motherchucker9. It's an easy search and it's in my favorites so no excuses!
