BELLA'S POV:

This was one morning I was glad was over.

Alice had woken me up at the crack of dawn insisting we needed to go over all the plans for the wedding. So that's what we had been doing all morning. While most of the details were going to be left to Alice she wanted my opinion on how the dress, both mine and all the bridesmaids, should look, what colors I liked the best, and what we wanted the guys tuxedos to look like.

I sighed a deep breath of relief as Alice closed her very big notebook and we both sat back in our chairs.

"So that's everything?" I asked rubbing my swollen belly.

"Except for your final measurements for the dress, yes. But, as you know, we can't get those til little Renesmee makes an appearance." She replied smiling at my belly.

Alice then stood up and grabbed 2 glasses and headed to the faucet.

"So what else do you have planned for today?" she asked nonchalantly.

"Nothing really, Edward is going to take me to lunch and I think after that we may go to the meadow or something, we haven't really discussed it. Why?" I asked curious.

"No reason, just asking." she said sitting down with our glasses.

I knew Alice, she wasn't just asking.

But I shrugged it off for now. It was the week after graduation and only a little over a week til the baby's due date. Except for the extra weight that Renesmee was causing, this was an easy week.

After we sat and talked for a bit Edward came in.

I turned around to see his clothes were dirty and somewhat torn.

"Edward what happened?" I asked concerned.

He looked at me confused before looking down and realizing how he looked.

"Oh, I just got back from an all night hunt. I realized I was late and rushed over here. I must have forgotten to change this morning." he said embarrassed.

"It's ok." I said, "There's fresh linens in the bathroom and I think you have a clean change of clothes up in my room. I just did laundry yesterday and folded the clothes you have here."

He walked over to me, kissed my forehead and looked at me. "What would I ever do without you?" he asked.

"I don't want to find out." I said as I hugged him.

As I smelled the dry blood and dirt on his shirt my gag reflex started to act up.

"OK Edward, I love you, but please go take a shower." I pleaded holding my nose and gently pushing him away.

He chuckled, put his hands up in defense and walked to the stairs.

About half an hour later he came down freshly clean and dressed.

We then headed to the diner for lunch.

Edward just drank coffee while I ate.

About halfway through lunch Edward sat back and looked like he wanted to ask me a question.

I sat back and asked him "Something on your mind?"

"I was just wondering, we have a nice apartment right?" he asked.

"Yes we do." I replied not sure where he was going with this.

"Well, no offense, but since we do have the apartment and you yourself have stated it's our new home, why are we spending more time at school or with Charlie then we do there?" he asked.

"Honestly Edward, it's because I know that when you change me I won't be able to be around Charlie for a long time, so the more time I spend with him now, the easier it may be for both him and me later." I say.

Ok, I understand. Like I said, I was just wondering." he said taking my hand.

"I do have another question too." he said.

"Go ahead." I invited.

"Why did you chose August 13th for our wedding date?" he asked.

"Well, I actually have 2 reasons. One being I will NOT be another year older than you." I replied with a smile.

He just chuckled and smiled at me.

"Ok, and reason number two?" he asked.

I smiled slightly, looked down, and tucked a lock of hair behind my ear before responding.

"The other reason is...I talked to my gynecologist, and she said I won't be able to be...intimate until 6 weeks after Renesmee is born. And since she will be born sometime between now and July my body will be ready for intimacy just before the honeymoon." I replied.

Edward just nodded and grinned seductivley before kissing my hand.

"Besides," I continued, "we have to give Renesmee a little brother or sister."

Edward just smiled, but it was a sad smile.

"What's wrong?" I asked concerned.

"I actually don't think that would be possible Bella. I talked to Carlisle about the possibility of another child and he said Renesmee herself is a rarity in vampires. The possibilities of two children from the same two people would be pretty much a one in ten million chance." he said stroking my hand.

I just nodded sadly. I was so looking forward to having another child. A boy possibly, but now, that would never be.

Edward asked me, "Are you ok?"

"I don't know," I replied, "as much as I hate the idea of another 9 months of carrying around a bowling ball, I really wanted the chance of having a girl, AND a boy."

Edward leaned over and kissed my cheek before whispering "You know, there's always adoption."

At this, I smiled.

After that Edward and I sat back and relaxed as I finished my lunch.

After lunch Edward's phone rang.

"Hello? Hey Alice. Oh really, ok we'll be there in a few. See ya then. Bye." he said before hanging up.

"What's up?" I asked as we walked out.

"Alice told me she found one last box of my stuff at the house and we need to go get it." he said as he opened my car door for me.

"Ok." I said as he got in the other side and started the car.

When we pulled up it looked like no one was home.

Still Edward stopped the car and came over to open my door.

We walked up the stairs and into the house.

We got into the living room and suddenly the lights came on and I heard alot of people scream "SURPRISE!"

I looked around and realized it was a surprise baby shower.

I looked at Edward and he just smiled at me.

"You lied to me," I joked.

He put his hands up in surrender and said "No, I really do have a box of stuff here, but Alice planned how to get you here."

I smiled, knowing I can't get mad at him.

I barely had time to hug him before Alice pulled me into the room and he went upstairs to his room to grab the box.

After the games were played I realized I hadn't seen Edward come back down.

I excused myself to see if he was ok.

I headed upstairs but saw him talking to Carlisle in his office. Leaving them to talk, I walked back dowstairs and left them alone.

After the gifts were open I had a bad urge to go to the bathroom.

I got in there and suddenly peed myself.

Embarrassed I reopened the door and called to Alice.

"What's up?" she asked.

"Can you have Edward run to the apartment and get me another pair of maternity pants? I just peed myself." I said, embarrassment evident on my face.

Suddenly I noticed Jasper walking by. He stopped in front of me suddenly. He then put his hand on my belly and I saw his eyes get big.

"Edward!" he yelled up the stairs, urgently.

At this point I was getting scared.

"Jasper, what's going on?" I asked.

Edward came down a minute later, looked at Jasper's face and then HIS eyes got big.

"Now?" Edward asked.

"Now!" Jasper replied.

At this point I was getting mad that no one was telling me what was going on.

"Jasper, Edward, what is-" I was cut off by a sharp pain like a menstrual cramp.

Suddenly I realized what was going on.

I was going into labor!

Edward had grabbed my coat and before I could really wrap my head around it we were headed out to the car.

About then my thoughts started collecting.

"Edward wait, what about my bag, the carseat, is everything ready at the apartment-?" I asked frantically.

"Don't worry love, the carseat is in the car, your bag is in the trunk, and Alice will make sure the apartment is ready for the baby before we go home." he said as he strapped me into the car and took my hand.

While another contraction hit I heard Edward on the phone.

"Yes, this is Edward Cullen, I am calling for my fiance Bella Swan. She has just gone into labor and we are on the way to the hospital now. Her doctor's name is Dr. Bennett. Yes, thank you. Goodbye." he said hanging up.

"Don't worry, your doctor is going to meet us there, just do the breathing we learned at the class." he said taking my hand.

As the contraction subsided a thought suddenly occurred to me.

This was it.

Edward and I were taking that final step.

Today, Renesmee will be born.

Today, we were going to become parents.

SOOOOOOOO? What do you think? Please Review and let me know. Nessie's coming! YAY!
