Mommy 2 B is a very high end maternity store, apparently very popular because it was over crowded.

I've never shopped so much in my life. We've been to pedicures and hair already. Now it was time for overpriced baby bump cloths. Alice say pregnancy was all about comfort. My life now consisted of jeans with elastic waist bands. The clerk couldn't believe I was only 4 and a half months said I could passed for a small seven months. You could guess how good that made me feel. Alice, always looking on the bright side, says at least I have some curves now. Which is very true. I had gone up a whole cup size and could even say I have an ass now.

I wouldn't expect pregnant woman to want to look sexy but I guess they do, cause Alice handed me a lot of scary looking tops and skirts. That meant I have to shave my legs, I don't like doing that these days. I had about 10 outfits now. I was only aloud one lazy looking outfit, my personal shopper says. Great. I had to admit, the cloths were comfortable for their look.

Currently, I was trying on a sun dress. I've never warn a dress in my life. So why did I like it on me so much ? I really liked it. It pooled out enough to hide my bump a little bit.

"Bella ! You wont believe what I've found ! It's perfect for tonight." she slipped it over the door.

/r/25zhx5y/7 [Imagine this with enough room for a baby bump ^.^]

I didn't even know they made stuff like this for pregnant woman. It was beautiful, and expensive. I was careful sleeping it on. I didn't want to ruin it. I opened the stall for Alice to zip me up, and then I looked at myself if the mirror. My mouth dropped to the floor. I've never seen myself like this. It fit perfectly, hugging in the right parts and loose enough for my baby.

"Oh, Bells. You have to get it " Alice said beaming. She knelt next to my belly. "You and your mommy look so pretty. Do you think mommy should get it ?"

My baby was so smart because it kicked away. Alice gave me a ya-see kinda look. I laughed, continuing to marvel. As long as I didn't have to wear heels I was good with getting it. Alice picked out some flat with a bit of a rise. With that and a bracelet we were ready to check out. I didn't want to look at the total. I hated that The Cullen's spent money on me. I could get a job for the next 6 months. They insist though. I only excepting it today because I was in dire need of cloths that fit. 6 bags later I was pretty sure we were ready to leave, but I was wrong.

Borrowing a chair from the waiting room we went to the enormous bathroom.

"Now, do you have to use the rest room before I start ? " she asked.

I huffed, were getting ready here. I might as well pee, this would take a while. She sat me in the chair and began. Somewhere in the time of the curling iron heating up I drifted to sleep. I hadn't had a nap today. It was killing me ! She did her magic, while I didn't cooperate. She shook me lightly when she was done. I didn't recognize myself in the mirror. This curly haired rosy cheek girl was gorgeous, she wasn't me.

"My god Alice. Your a miracle worker." I was whispering.

"Not even Bella, you have all the basic material, I just brought it out." she smiled.

Damned pregnancy, I started to cry. I practically fell on Alice. She was trying not to laugh, I could tell.

I would laugh too. This was ridiculous. When people tell you pregnancy makes a person glow, it's a lie. There is nothing about it that is fun. So why would us pregnant folk glow ?

"Now stop crying ! You'll mess up your make up." Alice pulled me off her.

She handed me my dress a long with a matching bra and thong. I stared at her in horror. This was scary. Major push up much? I've worn a thong like two times in my whole life. She just pushed me in the stall. I put on the atrocious things. I was so pushed up I couldn't see my baby. Scarier than scary. I continued on being brave and carefully slipped the dress over my head. Alice did her smoothing out and zipping up.

She stole a picture of me holding my baby smiling. We did look beautiful.

"You go out to the car, I'll pack things up real quick." She said.

I complied, well, I tried. I almost made it, I was only a couple feet away from the door when I caught a familiar smell. I stopped abruptly. Even with her back to me, I could recognize that hair anywhere. My stomached churned. She was looking through tops, non nonchalantly.

"Rebecca ?" I crocked.

She turned around and I thought I'd vomit. If Jacob was a woman...

"Bella ! Look at you !" she said automatically hugging me.

There was that smell again, his smell...

"You look great !" she smiled. I was still unable to form words. I was scared I would just end up crying.

"Um," she said awkwardly "how far along are you ?" she asked.

"F-four and a half months" I half blurted out.

"Really? Your huge, I'm 6 and your bigger than me" it wasn't meant as an insult but it felt as much.

I smiled. "So your in town ?

"Yeah, dad and Sue are throwing me a baby shower. Rachel is down too " she might be the exception of 'glowing'.

"Is... Jacob going? " I asked, I couldn't help it.

"We haven't heard from him in about a month." totally serious now "It's his isn't it?" she glanced at my stomach. All I could do was nod. She nodded to, understanding. Alice came then.

"Oh Rebecca !" she pulled her into a hug "How are you?" she asked

She said a little surprised. "I'm great. Doing really well."

Alice noticed my face expression and took control.

"We'd love to stay and chat but we're already late to a prior engagement. So sorry." she grabbed my arm.

"Well, wait !" She called.

Alice stopped us quickly.

"Everybody would love it if you would come to the baby shower. I'll give you my number." She rummaged through her purse and quickly jotted down a number. "That's my husband Samuel's number. They'd be happy to see you." she said give us a sincere smile. With that, Alice towed me out of the door.

In the safety of the car, I finally let myself cry. Alice didn't stop me this time. Just held me and I went through shudders of pain. If I couldn't manage that how could I see all of them again. I couldn't go. I wouldn't. This is to much stress.

"Be strong Bella. For the baby." she wiped away my tears.

Going in her purse she pulled out a compact of powder. With it she quickly fixed my cheeks. I was in a daze all over again. Seeing Rebecca put me back in my cold depressed state. I didn't want to go to dinner, but Alice was right, all this wasn't good for a my child. I composed myself for Alice, I would only cry while I was alone. Sneak another shower tonight.

Edward was waiting outside the restaurant. When I saw him reality was gone. He was standing casually on the steps in a gray suit. He was to good to be true. The baby felt like it was using all fours to let me know my heart rate was up. Edward was my happy drug, I had been going through with drawls all day, now all I wanted to do was get high...
