I had a really bad sleep. I couldn't get comfortable because of the stupid bloody thing attached to my stomach! By the time I had woken up for the sixth time that night it was late enough to get up. It was only seven o'clock but that was as long as I was willing to spend in bed. I sat up too fast and my head started hurting which made me clutch my head and lie back down again. This caused Edward no end of entertainment.

"Good morning Bella." He said after he had finished laughing.

"I was fine until you started laughing at me." I replied folding my arms in annoyance. He crossed the room and sat by my side, kissing my cheek before moving his mouth onto mine.

"Awww. That's too bad. Is there anything I can do to change that?" Edward said in his perfect velvety voice, the one that never failed to distract me.

"There is actually." I got up and turned around. "You can help me undo these straps on my back. I need a shower." I turned my head around to see Edward stood right behind me, ready for action. "Ready?" I asked as I faced forwards again.

"As I'll ever be." He replied. I lifted my nightshirt over my head and held it in my hands waiting for Edward to do his part. I sighed in relief as I felt the weight fall to the ground. I felt so light now, like I could fly. Well, not quite but you know what I mean.

"Thank you." I sighed again as I gathered my clothes up and went to the bathroom. "I won't be longer than ten minutes."

"You take as long as you need love." He called to me from the bed.

As I climbed under the hot water I just stood there and felt the hot water trickle down my body. Ow, too hot! I fiddled with the temperature thingy before I got burned alive. Phew! That was better. I could feel the knots of tension in my back easy up. God that belly weighed a ton!

I took at least an hour in the shower. I didn't want to get out and put that thing on my back again. However, it had to be done. I got Edward to help me again with the straps. Then came the envious task of picking my outfit for the day. In the end I just chose jeans and a T-Shirt. It was my 'party naked' one. I loved it to pieces!

By the time I managed to toddle my way down stairs, my breakfast had already been set out for me. At first I was nervous. I thought it was bound to be Alice's famous burned toast or a raw potato from Jasper or something like that. But by the time I got to the table it was actually a plate of fruit, arranged into pretty patterns.

"Is this for me?" I asked, touched by the gesture.

"Of course. We have to make sure you're eating properly for the baby." Alice said as she gently pushed me to my seat.

"Ignore Alice. She's really getting into this whole 'pregnancy' thing. I still think it's stupid." Rose said taking a seat next to me. "Go on then. Eat something."

I picked up a strawberry and started nibbling on it. Before I knew it I had finished the whole plate as well as an extra banana. Now we were all gathered up in the lounge, the place where all our most important discussions were held. Apparently Alice had plans for us today.

"Right guys, you'll never guess where we're going today!" She announced to the group of us. To be honest, no I didn't know and I wasn't really in the mood for this guessing game.

"Where are we going today, oh dearest sister of mine?" Edward asked, sensing everyone's agitation. Being pregnant I found it harder for me to keep my patience. The extra weight made me sore and irritable. Little things like this made all the difference. I pecked Edward on the cheek to show my appreciation. He knew what I meant.

"The Cullen's plus one are going to a birthing class!" Alice answered. There was a moment of silence before anyone spoke.

"When is it?" Rosalie asked, surprisingly upbeat.

"In about half an hour. We kind of need to get going now." Alice checked her watch.

"Yay! Road trip!" Emmett called, trying to make light of the situation. All he received was a bop on the head from Rose. I giggled and followed the group out to the car.

After the rather tedious drive (Emmett wouldn't stop singing 'if you're happy and you know it'. Why were we in his car? Why?) we finally reached our destination. Turns out the closest class was in our school hall. Which was in a way worse because there was more chance of running into someone we knew.

We wobbled inside and took seats on the chairs that were organised in a circle in the middle of the room. There were a few people already there but they were all older than us. I'm sure I was the youngest person there! In fact I was because I was sat in a crowd of vampires who had been alive since before I was born.

"Hey Bella, you wanna hear something funny?" Emmett leaned across Edwards legs and tapped me on my stomach.

"Yeah, go on then." I might as well whilst we were waiting to start.

"Right, so there was this kindergarten class and the teacher set them a homework task.

She said, 'Okay class I want you to find out about something exciting to tell the class tomorrow'. The kids were all planning what exciting thing they would talk about. The next day, when the time came for everyone to do their talks, the teacher called on a little boy called Johnnie. We've had frog, a picture of Mary's granddad and a stone so far, thought the teacher, I wonder what Johnnie has for us. Little Johnnie simply walked to the front of class with a piece of chalk and made a small dot on the back board before returning to his seat. The teacher was a bit confused as to what it was so she asked him.

'It's a period' said little Johnnie.

'I can see that dear, but why is a period exiting?'

'I don't know,' Sighed Johnnie, 'but this morning my sister said she missed one. Then my Daddy had a heart attack, Mommy fainted and the man next door shot himself.' "

I would have giggled except there was this scary looking lady looming over Emmett. He hadn't realised and was still trying to get a reaction.

"It was good huh? You liked it didn't you?"

"This is no time for jokes young man. You are in my class and when you are in my class you don't mess around with your friends. Understood?" She can't have been younger than fifty. She had curly reddish hair, which stood up and looked rather like an Afro. But thinking about this only made me laugh. Then the teacher turned back to us and glared at me through her half moon glasses. I understood and muttered a quiet "Sorry." This was going to be a scary lesson that none of us would forget in a hurry!
