It has been at least 13 days since I've posted. Surprisingly enough nobody has come to kick my ass…yet…I think that's slightly because Amber is MIA this week thanks to her exams. But I have had a bit of writers block. So if you hadn't noticed I've been trying to avoid well…this site all together. Sorry lovelies.

Thanks Amber for the brief inspiration! And thanks Labbit for listening to me bitch about how I couldn't write!

If this is awkward I'm sorry. I'm just trying to pull myself through to easier times.

Sorry it's shorter then usual, but as promised to my bb Yyrollam here's your update!

SM pwns me this week considering how crappy my writing's been.

Bella and I sat in that position until I could no longer feel my legs, and still I didn't want to move and ruin our moment. I was perfectly happy sitting and basking in the wonderful being that was Bella.

The sound of tires on the gravel announced that the family was home, and I listened to the screen door slam as feet pattered across the floor.

"Work everything out?" Alice asked, one hand on her hip as she narrowed her eyes at me. I nodded my head yes as I realized that Bella had fallen asleep on me.

"It's about time you stop being such an asshat," Rose said as she breezed past Alice down the hall. She stopped abruptly before turning to us.

"Are you going to take her to bed or just let the woman carrying your child sleep on the floor all night?"

Realizing that Bella was still asleep on me I gently lifted her as Alice walked down the hall towards Bella's room.

"Alice," I said, summoning her attention, "my room."

Her face broke into a huge smile as she skipped to the opposite end of the hall to open the door to my room. I laid her gently on the bed, as I turned to Alice who was still beaming at me.

"I told everyone it would be a good thing if we left the two of you alone," she said clearly gloating at the fact that she was right.

"You planned this?"

"Of course I did Edward. Besides, we had some shopping to do for the baby anyway!" She said before skipping out of the room.

Making sure Bella was alright, I slipped out after her. I stopped dead in my tracks as I took in all the baby things that surrounded me. Tiny clothes overflowed from bags, and I saw one that was filled with what seemed like miniature shoes. There was an unassembled crib resting against a box that said it was a mobile, whatever that was. My mind was having trouble processing everything.

"Go a little overboard?" I asked Alice as she crouched next to one bag already organizing the things inside.

"Not even! I didn't even get half the stuff I wanted!" Taking in my wide eyed expression she rolled her eyes before adding, "Carlisle and Esme bought some of it too ya know."

Rolling my eyes I made my way through the maze of baby things as I headed towards the kitchen. I poured myself a glass of water and drank it slowly as I leaned against the counter.

"You and Bella figure everything out?" Carlisle said from the doorway his eyes narrowed slightly. I knew my father had been pissed at my actions lately despite the fact that he hadn't verbally told me so.

"Yes. I'm going to be a better man for her." I told him, looking at the floor.

"Good. She needs a good man to take care of her Edward." His gaze was intent.

"You need to be that for her."

I opened my mouth to speak, but snapped it shut again as Esme flitted happily into the kitchen, humming as she moved.

"Oh hi honey," she said as she began preparing something to eat.

"Carlisle, did you give it to Edward?" She asked, and I wondered if she was referring to the verbal lashing she had interrupted.

"No not yet," he mumbled, as though he were a child caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

"Well…," she began looking at him intently.

"Well…?"

"Give it to him!" she said in an exasperated tone, rolling her eyes as he shuffled out of the kitchen.

"That man, I swear," she mumbled, before taking a bite of her sandwich.

Carlisle returned a few moments later holding an envelope out to me.

"What's this?" I asked curious, as Esme's eyes shone.

"Open it!" she nearly squealed.

I flipped over the flap as I pulled out an add for a house. A really, really nice house. I looked up them both confused. Were they trying to hint that they didn't want us around?

"We put a bid in on it!" Esme burst out in an excited whisper.

"The others don't know about this, so please don't tell them." Carlisle begged, shoving his hands in his pants pocket.

"Mom, Dad, I don't know what to say," I said, excited at the prospect of having my own home with Bella.

"And the best thing is, it's nearby! So you won't be too far away from us," Esme exclaimed.

"Well just think about it son. You're starting a family now. You don't have to accept it. I know you can afford it yourself but…we just wanted to do this for you," Carlisle said, sounding as if he was choking up.

I felt tears form in my own eyes as I only beamed at the two of them.

"I'll pay you back," I stuttered, as Esme waved in dismissal at my idea.

"We just want you two to be happy," Esme coming over to hug me, "God knows you both deserve it."

I rolled over as best I could, my arm reaching out in search of Edward but all I felt next to me was the cool spot in the bed. Had everything just been a dream? I felt my chest tighten at the prospect as my eyes flew open. Taking in the unfamiliar surroundings I knew it couldn't have been a dream, I was in Edward's room.

As if on cue the door opened as Edward slipped stealthily inside, obviously unaware that I was awake. I watched amused as he tried to move around quietly, and had to stifle a giggle when he ran into something on his way to the bed causing him to hop the last five steps.

He stumbled onto the bed, as he bumped me slightly. I could hear him cursing under his breath as I began to laugh out loud at him.

"Bella?" He asked surprised at my little outburst.

"Are you awake?" He continued as he reached into the darkness for me.

"Yea," I managed out in between my quiet laughs and it was almost as if I could hear his eyes rolling in the darkness.

Taking a few deep breaths I calmed my laughter as his arms finally reached me, wrapping me up in them. I settled back into him until I was cozy as I inhaled the scent of Edward.

He smelled like sweat, soap, and something I couldn't quite place. He smelled like home.

"Where did you go?" I asked nuzzling into his neck as he sighed in contentment at our bodies contact.

"Just to the living room. You should see it out there, it looks like Alice bought out every childrens store in state." I laughed at his description as I realized he probably wasn't exaggerating much.

Edward's hand reached out towards mine. Our palms met. My fingers came just below his finger tips as he bent them slightly, playing with my fingers.

"Bella," he said, finally breaking the silence between us.

"Hmm?" I responded, my eyes closed.

"What do you think about…getting our own place?"

My eyes shot open as I sat up and turned towards him even though I could only make out his faint outline in the dark.

"Where? What about your family? Is that safe?" I questioned all at once.

"Well it's nearby, we could still come visit my family but we'd have our own little haven. We'd still be just as hidden as we are now."

I began biting my lip as I thought over this revelation. Were we ready to have our own house?

"Don't answer now," he cooed, pulling me back into his arms, "come and look at it with me tomorrow."

"Okay," I said still dumbfounded.

We fell into a deep silence as I tried to process everything that was happening. I really had escaped Chris. Edward was real, and he really wanted me. Part of me wondered if maybe I had just gone crazy with Chris and was living an unrealistic life through my own mind, but pushed the thought off quickly. Even if I was hallucinating I would rather be then have to know what was happening to me.

"Edward, would you want to know the sex of the baby if you had the chance?" I asked softly, unsure if he had even heard me.

"I don't know, I never thought about it, why?" He said quietly in my ear causing me to shudder.

"Just wondering," I replied, chickening out.

I already knew as Carlisle had told me after he had run extensive tests on me after Rose and Emmett found me. Edward hadn't found out yet because he had been acting so stubborn, but I wanted to tell him.

Thinking back to that night I recalled being so frantic that something would be wrong. I tensed in anticipation that at any moment Carlisle would tell me that my child was ruined. Instead he had offered up the sex of the baby. Of course I had wanted to know.

"Bella," he beamed as he pointed out the heartbeat and various other body parts on the ultrasound machine he had borrowed from the hospital, "It's a…".

"Yes," he responded suddenly pulling me from my thoughts.

"Yes?" I asked meekly.

"I would want to know."

"Would you like me to tell you now?" I asked, stalling as my tension mounted.

Would he be mad I hadn't waited for him to be around to find out?

"Carlisle told me," I threw in quickly before he could question me.

"Yes, tell me now." He said softly.

"We're going to have a beautiful little…"

Cliff hanger? I think not, it's a boy! Haha, sorry about cutting it off there, but I have plans for the next chapter that required I stopped there, but true to my words you all know! Little boy!

So very fluffy. I think there's going to be one more fluff chapter and then back to the angst bbs. Don't stress though, we're getting towards the end pretty quick and I promise you won't be disappointed {I hope}.

Reviews are almost as precious as baby boys.
