Charlie and I weren't sure when or how to tell Renee. Edward wanted me to just tell her but I couldn't. I knew she would be ashamed of me. This wasn't what she wanted. She wanted me to go to collage and have a career. She was going to kill me, I just knew it. Before we knew it, a month and a half passed. 2 months. I was 2 months pregnant. No one could tell and no one knew. I continued going to school. Edward and Alice agreed not to tell anyone until we absolutely had to. I felt like everyone could tell anyway. I was so paranoid about it. Edward swore that I still looked the same but I didn't buy it.

On the 3 month mark I stood in front of my vanity mirror in my room. Edward sat on my bed and watched as I turned this way and that. I was wearing only my bra and sweats. My stomach was getting bigger. It was obvious. I turned again and looked from another angle. I couldn't make the small bump look any smaller no matter how I looked at it. People were going to notice it. There was no way around it. Edward sighed loudly so I looked at him.

"Bella the only reason you see it is because you are focusing solely on it."

"Ah-ha! So you admit that its bigger!"

I pointed at him and he laughed.

"Yes love it is. Its not so much that anyone who didn't know would see it."

"They will."

"Bella you cant hide this forever. You might have a month left before you cant do anything about it."

I placed my hand on my bare stomach.

"I know."

Edward stood up and came over to me.

"I don't know what you are so worried about. Of course people will make a big deal out of it when they first find out but after that it will be nothing."

"I wish I could just have the thing without getting any bigger."

"The thing?"

"Well I don't know if its going to be a boy or a girl."

"Thing just seemed a little mean…then again I am its father."

"Don't start with that. You're not a monster and neither is our baby."He smiled.

"I love to hear you say that. Our baby."

At school I felt like everyone was staring at me. Edward laughed as my eyes darted from face to face. I tried to wear baggier clothes. Alice really hated it. She said she had a whole wardrobe of maternity clothes ready for when I needed them. She was so excited that she could buy something different. At least she was enjoying this. I had managed to keep from throwing up in school after that first time. That was until they served walking tacos. I walked into the lunchroom and had to turn right back out. The smell was horrible. I barely made it to the bathroom in time. Alice was right there to hold back my hair.

"Sorry Bella, I wasn't paying attention. I could have kept you out of the lunchroom."

"Its fine Alice, I wasn't feeling great anyway."

"Oh!"I looked up. Alice was staring off at the wall. I knew she was having a vision. A few seconds passed then she grabbed my arm made me stand up. She took my hand and pressed it against my own stomach. I waited.

"Alice!"

"I know!""Did it just kick?"

"Yes! Here let me feel."I moved my hand and she put her hand there. A second later there was another kick. It was so light.

"I didn't think it should be doing that this early."

"It is part vampire."

"True.""Bella we have to go get Edward!"

"I cant have you guys all over my stomach right here in school."

"So we go outside, I'll know if anyone is coming."

"Fine, lets find him."

Alice jumped and then dragged me outside. The baby continued to kick while we searched for and found Edward. He eyed Alice. She must have been thinking of something to keep him out of her head.

"We have a surprise for you!"

"Alice I'm not in a surprise mood."

"You will love it, I promise."

He looked at me and I smiled.

"Alright."

We followed Alice outside. She took Edwards hand and placed it on my stomach. He stared at her like she was insane.

"Oh wait."

She moved his hand to the other side and a second later I felt a small bump then him freeze. He looked at my stomach. He dropped down to his knees but kept his hand in the same place. Alice was smiling from ear to ear. The baby kicked again and Edward finally smiled. He looked up at me.

"You were right Alice. I do love it."

"I'm always right."He kissed my stomach before rising and kissing me.

"When did this start happening?"

"I kind of saw it coming when we were in the bathroom."

I held my stomach.

"So does this mean the baby is developing faster than normal?"

"I think so. You can go see Carlisle to find out for sure. I mean you look normal but I don't think babies usually move this early."

Edward kissed my forehead.

"Its nothing to worry about love. If the baby is developing faster that just means we wont have to wait as long.""How will we explain that we have a full size baby early?"

"Things like that happen Bella. Just a medical mystery."

"Ah."

"Would you like me to ask Carlisle about it?"

"I guess so. I don't think it's a big deal though. It is part you."

He laughed.

"Yes it is."

At 4 months I knew I was too big to hide it. I pulled on 6 different shirts Monday morning. I had spent the last few weeks wearing sweaters and coats to hide my belly. Edward finally convinced me that I had to let people see. He sat in my room. Charlie knew that I was going to show people so he let Edward come over early for extra support. All my clothes were uncomfortable. I sighed and threw the lasted one onto the floor. A knock on my door made me jump.

"Its just Alice."She opened the door and held out a top.

"I knew this was going to happen, I would have given you the shirt yesterday but you wouldn't wear it unless you knew you had to."

I took it. It was a black maternity top that was tight around my chest but loose hanging around my stomach. It had little strings that hung down on the sides. I pulled it on and Alice tied the strings against my back. I looked in the mirror. There was no hiding it now. The top made me look more pregnant than I had before. How depressing.

"Bella you are so pretty!"

"I look like I have a balloon shoved under my shirt."

"Don't worry so much about it, its going to get so much bigger."

Edward gave her a dirty look.

"Love you look perfect."

"I change my mind, I'm not going to school.""Oh yes you are."Charlie stepped in and smiled.

"You look good Bells, just like your mother.""Mom! We never told her!"

"Oh no."

"Okay lets worry about it after school. One disaster at a time."

Edward handed me my jacket and we headed out. Alice hopped in the back seat while Edward helped me into the car.

I was practically hyperventilating by the time we parked. The baby kicked a few times. Edward said it was reacting to my increased heart rate.

I took a deep breath and got out. I was good until I took my jacket off. Maybe I would leave it on. Alice smiled and shook her head at me.

"Edward if I pass out, just take me home."

"It will be fine."

I slowly took off my Jacket and hung it on the back of my chair. Several of my classmates stared at me. Jessica was smiling huge. She just wanted to gossip. Angela smiled warmly at me and waved. I waved back. The teacher already knew because of Charlie. He called the class to order but people still glanced at me throughout class. Edward held my hand. As soon as the bell rang Jessica was standing on the other side of my desk.

"I knew it! Bella wow! How did you hide this so long?"

"Its only been 4 months."

"Really? You look a lot bigger than that."

"It's a big baby. Did you want something."

"Oh…ah…"She glanced at Edward.

"Yes its his."

"Do you know what it is yet?"

"No, we're going to find out Thursday hopefully."

"How exciting! Congratulations guys!"

Then she ran off out of the room. I saw Mike glance at me then stare at the floor. Edward growled.

"Don't mind him Edward."

"I'm trying not to."That was how the rest of my day went. At lunch I was the center of attention. People kept walking by slowly, trying to get a glimpse of my belly. Angela came and sat with me.

"Hey Bella."

"Hi.""I'm not here to stare at you."

"I know. You're the only one though."

"Well this kind of thing doesn't happen around here."

"I know.""Don't feel bad. Are you excited? About the baby I mean.""Yeah. I wasn't at first but I am now. We find out what it is this week.""That's great. What do you want."

"I hadn't really thought about it…I guess I want a boy."

"A boy would be great, I bet he will have Edwards eyes."

"I hope so."

Edward smiled but kept talking to Alice and Jasper.

"Jessica said you were 4 months but I wasn't sure. Are you having twins?"

"What? No!"

"My mom was really big early because she was having more than one baby."

"No we already checked, its just one. I'm just big."We laughed. It felt good.

"So are you going to have a baby shower?"

Alice couldn't contain her self.

"Of course! We're going to throw her one at our house when she gets closer to the big moment."

"Oh that's great. I'll find you something nice. Is there anything you need?"

That hadn't even crossed my mind. I had nothing.

"I ah…I need everything…I don't even have any clothes."

"Don't panic Bella, you don't even know what it is yet. When you know what it is, then you can buy the right clothes and blankets and stuff. Make sure you let me know so I know what color to get your gift in."

"Yeah I'll let you know as soon as I do."

She hugged me.

"Don't worry about all these people. Be happy. I'll be here if you need anything."

"Thanks so much Angela. Its nice to have someone other than family."
