Sorry I haven't updated in...Forever. =/ I feel guilty. My computer was actually getting fixed, and then we had trouble with the internet, and yada, yada, yada. =/ But, my life is insane remember? Haha. Enjoy.
BPOV:
Things have been less than hectic at the Cullen house. They've been treacherous. All the talk about the baby, and my "parents" which I like to call, murderers...Anyway, Edward has been insanely bottled up with Carlisle about this whole thing, organizing the trial, and Alice and Esme were organizing the baby's room...if we kept her...
Life was...insane. Christmas was in a couple days, and Alice has done nothing but shop, shop, shop. "Bella! Let's go! Into the car!" She stood at the door, swinging her arms in a gesture for me to walk out the door. She was wearing a small red dress and white stockings, and a red hat.
I rolled my eyes and stood. "Nooooooo." I said, smiled and sat back down.
She groaned and stamped her foot. Emmett walked through the living room, "Emmett!"
He turned slowly. "No Alice, I won't go shopping with you-"
"Tell Bella to get off her lazy ass and get in the car!" She stamped her foot again.
I rolled my eyes double time, and threw in a giggle. "Yeah, Bells go with her. Your putting on some weight, might as well walk it off." He chuckled and rubbed my small stomach. "I'm pregnant Emmett, not fat."
"Aha, Yeah I know. But..."He whispered, "Go, because if you don't I'd have to!" He quickly rushed out of the room.
I looked to Alice and she smiled sweetly. I shook my head and, picked up my book.
"Eddddwwaaaarrrddd!" Her tiny voice rang. "Dammit Alice, what?" Edward asked coming through the hallway. He looked so sexy in his sweater and skinny jeans, I swear I'd-
"Tell Bella to come with me!" She wined and pouted. Edward looked toward me and sighed, "No, no no no. I will not. I'm tired, and my feet hurt. Alice, you try being pregnant!" I looked back to my book.
"Alice, I'll go with you 'darlin. Bella needs rest, and she and Edward need time together. Everything's been so hectic." Jasper smiled at me. 'Thank you!' I mouthed and he winked back.
They went out the door, and Alice looked satisfied. Edward turned his green eyes on me. "I understand." I said almost immediately. He sighed and rolled his eyes. "Bella, I've been nothing but busy this past week. Don't you dare say you understand, or you're fine." I sighed.
"I just miss you Edward." Tears welled up in my eyes, and I internally groaned. Fucking hormones. Edward took one stride and was next to me and in my arms in the next second. Ahh, peace at last. In Edward's arms I felt safe, and loved. So did the baby.
"Jasper's right, we do need time together." He kissed my forehead.
"But, it's for the baby. I under-" he glared at me. "I mean it this time. I want nothing more than the best for him."
He smiled and kissed me once. "It's a girl, remember?" He pulled me close. I smiled and I snuggled myself into his tall frame. "I love you Edward." I told him in a whisper, as his long, strong arms came around my back, and to my waist. "I love you Bella. Your my everything."
"You know the baby will be born around June right?" I asked, smiling up to him. He laughed. "Yeah, I was thinking about that. Why?"
"Because your birthday is in June..."
He smiled, and kissed my cheek, "That would be the best birthday gift I could ever receive."
I sighed, "Well, if our baby is born on June 22nd, we will have a mini you." I giggled.
He laughed, and kissed me. "God, I love you Bella."
"Bella? Would you like to help me put up Christmas decorations?" Esme asked coming through the kitchen. "Oh, sorry. Didn't mean to intrude." She blushed. I laughed, "No Esme, its fine. Yes, I'd love to help."
I unraveled myself from Edward, and he gave me one last kiss. He walked up the stairs, and I walked over to Esme. I grabbed the decorations, and began to set up, whilst she whistled and hummed to Christmas music. I found myself feeling happy and excited at the same time. Last Christmas, I was with my 'parents' and we didn't even celebrate.
I felt loved, and cared for. It felt like home.
I was three months pregnant, and Christmas was tomorrow. My stomach wasn't very big at all, and Edward says it's because of my size. He was also very busy researching things on our trail, which will be held December 28th. Right. After. Christmas. Sad face…
I couldn't wait, but I feared it all at the same time. Would we win…or lose? Carlisle said it was a sure bet, we'd win. He also said my parents weren't going to give up; even if we did win. Edward was surprised at this, and also excited that it was sure fire, we'd win. He'd already set up a nursery.
"Edward, what if we have a boy?" I asked, watching him, paint small silver stars on the wall. He sighed, "Then we can re-paint! Now get out of here! The paints bad for the baby." Emmett swooped in and carried me downstairs. "No! You just don't want me to see!" I laughed, as we ran down the steps.
It dawned on me the next morning, that I wasn't completely sure I was ready for a baby. I mean…a baby? But, once everything was in order, and the nursery was set up, (And once Edward finally let me see it,) I've never wanted something more. My eyes popped open, when I was done thinking. I rolled over, and looked at Edward. He was cuddled into his pillow, and had his arms around my waist, one lying on my stomach. He's been working so hard, and I'm so proud of him. He's going to be a great father, and husband.
I kissed his nose lightly. "Mmmmm…." He groaned, pulling me to him, and squeezing me. I yelped when he started tickling me. "Stop, stop stop! Olivia's kicking!" I told him, and he put his ear to my stomach, almost immediately.
She kicked him powerfully right in the face. I was laughing too hard, for it to hurt. Edward looked concerned. "Bella…she's not supposed to be kicking this early."
I stared at him, "Than she's smart!"
He got up, pacing. "No, no, no. She's too young! Something's wrong!" I rolled my eyes. "NOTHING is wrong Edward." I stood up, and took him in my arms. "She's fine. We can ask Carlisle to check if you really want to. It probably just scared her…" He nodded in agreement.
"Bella…your actually four months along, by the look of it. And, your pretty small. That's a little concerning." Edward groaned, "I knew it."
"But," Carlisle continued, sitting in his desk chair, "that's the possibly conclusion of why the baby kicked. No, Edward. I can't find out the sex until she's at least six months." He laughed.
Edward rolled his eyes. "So, your delivery date is…May 16th." Edward smiled.
"You know…" Carlisle went on, "The chances are more likely for it to be a girl, in May…" Edward laughed, and I rolled my eyes. Carlisle knows he wants a girl, and I wanted a boy.
Christmas Eve, and my hormones were raging. But…Edward refused to have sex. "I don't want to hurt her!" He explained. I told him it wouldn't hurt her, and she'd be fine, and so did Carlisle. He just kissed my stomach, and said, "Not gunna chance it."
"I'm sorry Bella." Edward said before we went to bed. "I know I've been spending so much time researching shit for the trial, and we hadn't had any time…" I sighed. "I know Edward. I just wish this was all over."
I turned over in the bed, and laid there; making known I wasn't happy. He sighed, and kissed my neck. "I love you Bella. More than anything…and, against my will…-"
He gave in.
Christmas morning was like no other. Emmett came running into our room, throwing Edward over his shoulder, and running downstairs. I laughed way to hard.
Jasper carried Alice down, as she was still "drowsy" but, I think she just wanted to be in his arms.
It was insane, to say the least. The Cullen's tree was enormous, and fantastic. I had gotten a lot of very nice gifts. Most from Esme and Alice, and a couple from Rosalie. Jasper and Emmett got me something too.
"Bella," Edward said, approaching me on the couch. "I have something for you." He smiled brightly. He pulled from around his back, a small red velvet case, with a green bow. I felt tears spring to my eyes. I had never been so loved.
He opened the case, to reveal a heart locket. It was pure silver, with shimmery gold intertwined loops around it. I had never seen anything so beautiful.
He opened it to reveal a picture of us, kissing, and it magically played my lullaby. I had to cry at this. It was almost instinct. "Edward…this- this is amazing!" I stared at it, and then into his beautiful eyes. "Thank you Edward. I love you," I whispered, as he kissed me so lightly, I thought I'd explode.
"Anything for you my Bella…"
