I own nothing, sadly.

p.s-read the authors note at the end please and thank you.


Daydreamer
With eyes that make you melt,
He lends his coat for shelter
Plus he's there for you when he shouldn't be
But he stays all the same, waits for you
Then sees you through


Bella Swan

How could I leave that out! I screamed internally as Edward approached the stupid pacifier.

"It's weird to think we used to be using one of these," he said, offhandedly. I closed my eyes and fought against the feeling rising in my throat. This was not happening. Not now. "And that one day each of us might have little ones that-" but I only heard half the sentence as my stomach revolted on me.

Fucking hell.

I clamped my hand over my mouth, hard, and made a mad dash for the bathroom. I pushed the door open and collapsed against the seat as my stomach heaved up what little I had for dinner. I should have felt this coming, seeing as how I had thrown up twice already just since Edward had arrived.

I was surprised when I felt a hand on my back, rubbing circles and another holding my hair back from the mess. Tears immediately sprang to my eyes as Edward placed a cold washcloth against my face, wiping gently. He was being so nice, seeing how disgusting things were right now. I didn't even deserve to know anyone like him, let alone be carrying his child.

Taking a moment to make sure I was finished riding my stomach I finally looked up at Edward. I could hardly see him through the tears swimming in my eyes.

"Edward," I started but stopped to clear my throat. "I…I have to tell you something." I knew it was time to tell him something. I didn't quite have the balls to tell him that it was his baby but I had to at least tell him I was pregnant. I rubbed my palms against my eyes, stalling for time before exhaling loudly. "I'm pregnant." Something flashed in his eyes before he answered me.

"I know," he answered quietly.

Excuse me? I'm gonna have to ask for a replay with that one.

"What did you say?" I questioned. He sighed.

"I said, I know that you're pregnant." I could feel my lips drying at having my mouth open for so long but I couldn't seem to close it. He knew? How the hell did he know?

"How the hell do you know?" I asked. I specifically told Rose and Alice at dinner not to tell Edward. I had decided that I would tell him in my own time.

"Does it really matter?" he asked.

Fuck yes it matters!

"How do you know?" I asked between clenched teeth.

"Jasper told me, on accident." I shook my head in disbelief.

"Should have never told anyone," I muttered as I stood up. Edward offered a hand but I waved it off. I walked back into the living room before becoming thoroughly pissed off. I spun quickly only to have my face meet Edward rock hard chest.

"You knew and you still said all that shit about babies and binkies?" I asked, seething. Oy vey these hormones were annoying. "What were you trying to do?"

I about lost it all when I looked at Edward and saw him trying to hide his smile.

A fucking smile? Now? Really?

"What could possibly be so funny right now?" I screeched at him, making him cringe but not stop smiling. If anything, he smiled wider. "What!?"

"Well, I don't think I've ever heard you curse before," he said with a small laugh. I gasped and clamped a hand over my mouth again. I could hear my mother's voice running through my head, "Isabella, ladies do not curse!" I shook my head. "And a binky? Really?"

"Why are you messing with me?" I asked, tears forming in my eyes again. I wasn't the type of girl who used tears to get what they wanted but damn it if it worked right now I would use these hormones to my advantage. Edward immediately stopped laughing when he saw me.

"I'm not trying to mess with you," He said softly, probably feeling bad about my tears. I shook my head and opened my mouth to disagree when he put his hand over my mouth. "I just wanted to…I don't even know. I just wanted you to tell me yourself, I guess."

I shook his hand off before talking. "Why?" When he didn't answer for a good thirty seconds I turned away from him with the intention if sitting on the couch. Before I could even take a step though, Edward placed a warm hand against my elbow and turned me back to him. I gasped, audibly, when I saw the amount of emotion in his eyes.

"Because ever since you saved me that night at the wedding you're all I can think about. I'm always wondering what you're doing or who you're out with. I wanted to kill Alice when she took you away from our date last week. And I've wanted to do this," he said as he ran his fingers through the length of my hair, "since then." I closed my eyes and hummed as his fingers worked through my hair.

"Oh," was all I could muster after his speech. He laughed at my response.

"I hope this is not all too much, Bella," he said, finally removing his hands from my hair. It was my turn to laugh.

"I tell you I'm pregnant and you think you've said too much?" His mouth lifted slightly to the side and I swear my ovaries hiccuped.

I hope our kid gets that smile, I thought fleetingly.

Suddenly I felt very self-conscious. I had just puked, a lot, and was standing here talking with Edward. I felt gross.

"Um," I began while pulling him to the couch. "Sit down, and get comfortable and I'll be back in ten minutes, tops, I swear." He looked confused but thankfully complied without complaint.

I hurried off to my room, grabbed some clothes and ran back to the bathroom. I turned the shower on, grabbed some toothpaste and my toothbrush and hopped in. I was nothing if not time efficient while Edward was waiting for me on the couch so I brushed my teeth in the shower and quickly washed up. I just barely shampooed my hair before rinsing it out and turning the water off. I hopped out, grabbed some shorts and a t-shirt, did the quickest blow dry of my life and headed for the living room again. I panicked slightly when I didn't see him there but breathed again when I saw him against the opposite wall, looking at pictures.

"Is that you?" he asked, quietly and somewhat amused. I laughed and nodded my head. It was a picture of me when I was just barely two holding a Barney stuffed animal with a big pacifier in my mouth, my then short hair standing everywhere. "Your baby will be adorable," he said quietly.

I bit my lip and sat down on the couch. My hands suddenly became the most interesting things in the world as I began my next sentence. "Edward, what do you…I mean…are you bothered…"I just couldn't seem to finish the thought. Luckily he seemed to know what I meant.

"I think that you will make a fantastic mother," he said, still standing near the wall. "And I'll be a fantastic…whatever you'll have me as." And for the fucking millionth time that night tears sprang to my eyes. He still wanted to be around. Before I knew it Edward was right next to me on the couch, pulling me into a tight hug. I tucked myself into him, fitting comfortably, and let my tears fall. He rubbed my back and whispered soothing things until I calmed down.

You're gonna make him run with all the damn tears!

I sat up quickly and swiped a hand across my eyes before laughing quietly. "Sorry. My emotions are pretty much everywhere lately."

He laughed too. "It's perfectly understandable." I smiled at him before riding my face of the rest of the tears. "I do have to ask you something though." I nodded him on. "Do you want me to be something, anything to this baby?" I looked at him confused for a moment before remembering that while he had spilled his guts about his feelings for me I hadn't quite returned the favor. I boldly grabbed his hand and looked into his eyes.

"Edward, don't think that you're the only one obsessing here. Since that night," I cringed internally remembering the wedding night. "I've thought only about you. I can't wait for your texts and I always hold out hope for a phone call. I know it's only been a short while but I have feelings for you." I crinkled my nose. "That sounded really corny. Sorry." He laughed and tightened his grip on my hand.

"It sounded great." I laughed and leaned my head against his shoulder.

"So before my breakdowns we were having a pretty good evening," I said jokingly. I felt Edward laugh.

"We were." I rejoiced at his agreement. I looked at the clock it was only a little past seven.

"Wanna watch a movie?" I offered.

"Sure, what do you have?" he asked. I smiled. This was something to be proud of in my tiny apartment. I happily jumped off the couch and made my way to where the TV was kept. I opened the bottom two doors, and the two long doors that sat to the right and left of the television. I giggled when I heard Edward gasp. There easily sat at least two hundred and fifty movies of all genres on the shelves.

"Take your pick," I said gesturing like Vanna White. Edward then spent the next fifteen minutes trying to decide on a movie. "I didn't say take all day," I joked from my spot sprawled on the couch.

"Shut it, woman," he murmured before finally picking a movie. I grinned excitedly as he held up the DVD case for approval. It was the 1967 version of Bonnie and Clyde and possibly my favorite movie of all time. He popped the disc in and flicked the light switch before looking back to me. He seemed to hesitate slightly before striding back over to the couch. I went to sit up and make room for him but he placed a hand against my torso. I stopped with my head in mid air before he slid his body onto the couch and gently pushed my head down into his lap. I hummed in contentment as his hands went to my hair for the second time this evening.

I eventually was able to actually focus on the movie, only blushing slightly at the mentioning of Bonnie and Clyde's sex life or lack thereof. I found my eyes drooping though about an hour into the movie and fought with the heavy lids.

Do not fall asleep while Edward's here! I commanded futilely. I yawned loudly, making Edward chuckle.

"It's okay if you go to sleep," Edward whispered.

"No," I said while trying to get up but Edward just put his hands back in my hair. I groaned and laid my head back down. I tried to say something about being a bad hostess but it came out a garbled mess. Suddenly I felt Edward's lips against my ears and I smiled as his breath tickled. "I had an amazing evening with you but you need your rest. Both of you do," he said placing a hand against my stomach. He placed a soft kiss against my cheek before sliding his sure hands under me and lifting me off of the couch. I leaned my head against his shoulders as he walked gracefully into my bedroom. I sighed in contentment as my back made contact with my mattress. Edward pulled the covers around me before sweeping some hair out of my face.

"Sleep well, love" was the last thing I heard before unconsciousness took over.
