A GIGANTIC thanks to liz526, she gave me some fantastic ideas for the story!
Previously: I smiled and let him do as he pleased, I didn't mind one bit, "You're the best thing that ever happened to me." I told him softly, almost a whisper.
"Bella," he moaned my name against, "You mean the world to me. You are my world."
I laughed and we continued kissing in bliss. This was the only place I wanted to be; I never want to leave.
Bella's POV: (First day of school. September 5th.)
Ew. We have school today! I am a little under half way done in the pregnancy, four months so far, still pretty big, people will be able to noticed I'm pregnant by a small glance in my direction.
As for the house, it's wonderful! We love every aspect of it, Edward and my room comes with a huge bathroom, one of those with two sinks and a giant shower. I thanked everyone so many times I can't even count, it's completely wonderful. Alice already has our old room starting to look like a salon, she makes Rose and I go all the time to get our hair done, pedicures, and of course manicures.
Speaking of Alice, she and Jasper have some exciting news! They are planning on getting married June 25th, they wanted to be out of school and Alice said she didn't want to walk down the aisle with a baby bump; she wants to look her best, but then again, what bride doesn't? They also came of with a name for there little baby girl. They are naming her Kaylee Marie Hale. They picked her middle name after me, I feel so special!
I sighed and looked over to the clock; the time said 6:59 AM. Edward was still asleep so I groggily got up and started to shake him. He didn't wake up.
"Edward, come on, we have to go!" I exclaimed. I wasn't in the mood for this, it was early, I was tired, and I really wasn't looking forward to school. I thanked God about 100 times a day that Alice would be going through it with me, she is of course smaller than me but at least I won't be the only pregnant outcast.
"Edward, come on, I mean it, wake up!" I yelled louder this time. I was not playing games this morning. "Wake up now!" I said shaking him a bit harder. He still didn't wake. I sighed, grabbed his arm and with all the strength in me I pulled. I pulled him a bit too hard though, he ended up falling off the bed.
"Shit," he mumbled sitting up and rubbing his head, "What was that for?"
I blushed and innocently said, "You wouldn't wake up. I didn't mean to make you fall off the bed, I just wanted you awake, we have to get ready for school." I frowned at the last word and Edward noticed.
He stood up and gave me a huge hug, "Bella, it's fine, it'll be okay."
He rubbed soothing circles on my back as I focused on breathing, "I know that's what I've been telling myself, but now that I'm actually about to do this it's scary." I said my voice getting quieter each word, "People are going to think I'm such a slut!" I dug my head into Edward's shoulder blade.
"Shhh, everything will be okay. I have good news!" he told me.
"Easy for you to say, your not the one walking around with this big bump underneath your clothes!" I fumed but then remembered he had news, "What's the good news?"
He smiled, "Just like the end of last year, I got us all classes together! I had to pull a few strings, tell them I needed to be with you…cause of the babies and all, but they happily agreed so this whole year we will be in all classes together!"
I hugged him tighter, "You're the best."
He laughed, "I know."
I got away from the hug and punched him jokingly in the arm, "Modest much?" I said with sarcasm.
"The most modest in the world!" he beamed, "Now lets get ready for the first day of our senior year!" I grimaced but grabbed his hand and went along.
* * *
"I don't think I can do this!" I hissed to Edward as I was sitting in the passenger seat of his Volvo looking at all the people around us. Alice and Jasper hadn't come yet and Rose and Emmett were out of high school. They don't go to collage yet though; they said they wanted to take a year off before they started school again.
Edward took my hand lovingly, "I'll be with you through the whole thing." He kissed my hand gently as I shook my head.
I took in one last deep breath, "I'm ready." Edward nodded and got out of the car, he was over at my side opening my door before I even had a chance to try. I gently lifted my body out of the car. Edward took my hand and I squeezed it tightly, not ever wanting to let go.
I stared straight ahead but I could practically feel all eyes on me. I was blushing non-stop, the whole time in the hallway I was red, there wasn't a single moment when I wasn't. Everyone we walked past suddenly stopped their conversation and turned to stare at me, don't people know it's not polite to stare?
Some stares were shocked and some stares were with pity, but there was one stare that was different from the rest. This stare was full of anger, hatred. This stare was on the face of the one and only Tanya Denali.
She was the only one that even came up to Edward and I, the others stared at a distance. "So," she started glaring at me, "Looks like you got your little self knocked up."
"Tanya," Edward started but I elbowed him, this was my fight, he didn't need to defend me.
"Hmm, looks like I did, and you know what Tanya?" she cocked her head slightly to the side. "You're just angry, angry that I got the guy and you didn't. Oh, and looky here," I extended the hand that held my wedding ring, "You may now refer to me as Bella Masen, we got married over the summer."
Her mouth gaped open when she saw the ring but she quickly closed it, "Well, at least I'm not the little slut in this situation."
I pretended to think about this, "Maybe not in this particular situation," I shot back, "But nine times out of ten it's you. Plus, I'm the one that's married and happy as anything, you're the one over here that's just jealous."
She glared at me but stormed away, when she stormed off I could've sworn I'd heard her mumble under her breathe, "For now, I have my ways." Her ways? What's that supposed to mean? She probably had some retarded plan that she thinks will work, what's she going to do, call up Edward and cry that he got married? I could see her doing that, I couldn't see it working though.
Edward sighed, "She'll never stop will she?"
I laughed quietly, "Doubt it, she'll be the person to confront us at our like 50th high school reunion asking you to marry her." Edward nodded his head thoughtfully. Edward took lead to our lockers. Not only did he get us to have all our classes together, he got our lockers directly next to each other!
We walked past a bunch of girls talking about the show American Idol, "I'm so glad Kris won!." The blond, her name was Michelle said.
"No way!" the brunette, Kristen said, "Adam is way better, he deserved it," I laughed at there little banter over a television show, people really got into all this reality stuff.
People still stared at me the whole time and what after seemed like an eternity, we got to our lockers. I dropped my red bag next to my feet and whispered, "Everyone's staring at me!" Edward laughed and looked over my shoulder, "This isn't funny!"
"I forgot to mention," he chuckled, "Alice and Jasper's lockers are next to ours too" he snickered again.
I gave him my most confused expression I could conjure up, "That's great, but why is that funny?"
"Look behind you and you'll find out." He pointed and I turned my head slowly.
I laughed at what I saw. Everyone was staring at Alice just as much as they stared at me, she was smaller but that didn't make her any less pregnant than I was. Though, she didn't walk away without turning to talk to anyone, the ones that gave her nasty looks, obviously thinking "What a slut", got something back from Alice.
"What? You got a problem here?" I heard her snap in a group of girls' direction. "Hope not, 'cause shows over on channel ABC Alice! Tune in next time though; I'm wondering myself what trouble Alice will get into next time!" The girls all turned there gazes elsewhere while Alice smiled, content at her efforts and walked towards us. Jasper had a look of pride on his face; you could tell he was proud of her.
"Hey!" she explained giving me a big hug, "Look's like we're locker buddies!" she showed me her locker which as well as Edward's was directly next to mine.
I smiled hugely, "That's awesome!" The guys had started talking about something that we really weren't paying attention too.
"So, what do you have first period?" Alice asked looking down at her schedule.
"Uhhh," I peeked at mine and frowned, "Trig, great, first thing I get to look forward too, math."
Alice didn't seem upset though, "Oh my gosh! Me too! Then Gym, not that we are going to have to participate."
"Thank God," I mumbled then looked back at mine, "Hey, I have gym too." I looked over to the guys who were smiling at us, looking like they were trying not to laugh. "Then I have biology."
Alice looked stunned, "This is insane, so do Jasper and I. We are in all the same classes, cause of….well you know." She laughed looking at both our schedules this time. She smiled when she looked up, "Trig, gym, biology, history, lunch, Spanish, English, music. Looks like, Jasper, Edward, you and I all have, well, all classes together."
I looked over to Edward and he winked, "You two did this?" I asked a smile growing on my face. They both nodded and I threw myself in Edward's arms as Alice did the same with Jasper.
"We thought you two would like being in classes together; give each other support ya know?" Jasper told us.
"That's perfect!" Alice exclaimed in Jasper's arms.
"Seriously you guys!" I squealed, "Thank you so much! This is great!" This really is great; I now have my best friends in all of my classes! How the guys did this I don't know, I guess they have there ways.
"Well, ready for trig?" I asked with a frown while looking at the clock, "If we wait any longer we'll be late." The others nodded and frowned, no one ever likes the first day of school, its so depressing, summer sadly over and a whole year ahead of you. Of course, Alice and I most likely won't get in a whole year; we will have to leave for a while once the kids are born.
The four of us walked off to Trig and once in there we saw we had assigned seats. The teacher—Mr. Kawoski—put me in between Alice—thank you god!—and Mike Newton. Jasper and Edward were seated next to each other in the table in front of us, Edward was in the middle of Jasper and some kid named Lee.
We were actually a bit early so we had our seats and people casually followed in. Mike then came in and sat next to me, "Hey Bella! How was your summer, anything exciting happen?"
Uhh, did he not hear about the whole pregnancy/marriage thing? Has he not noticed from looking at me? Either he was really unobservant or he just didn't want to bring it up.
"Uh, well," I tried to think of what happened, Edward was in a coma, I got married, I went on my honeymoon, I got pregnant, Alice got pregnant, pretty exciting summer. "My summer was pretty good," I smiled, "Very exciting……..if you haven't noticed." My eyes fell to my stomach and his gaze followed my own.
I could've sworn he blushed, "Your, your pregnant?"
I laughed, "You didn't notice?" he shook his head.
"S-so, did you guys, you know, get married?" I nodded and showed him my ring.
"Hey! Stop stealing all the glory Bells!" I heard Alice say from beside me, "I'm pregnant too! And getting married soon!" I scooted my chair back so Mike could see her as well. His eyes bulged.
"B-both of you?" he asked and we nodded. He drew in a deep breathe, "Well, that's, that's something alright." He hesitated; I could tell this conversation was awkward for him, "Uh, boys or girls?"
"Mine's a girl!" Alice exclaimed—or should I say practically squealed, good thing the teacher's a bit late to class.
I smiled, "Well," I also blushed, "I'm having triplets, two girls, one boy." Mike nodded his eyes open wide with shock.
He opened his mouth to speak but then the teacher came in and told everyone to be quiet. We turned towards the teacher for the boring welcome to trig speech. I don't get it, each class has to tell you what you're going to do all year, and we'll find out later on, we don't need to know now.
Edward and Jasper would look back at us and smirk anytime the teacher would try to funny and totally fail. Seriously, teachers shouldn't even try to be funny, it doesn't work.
Finally class ended and we were all on our way to gym. Obviously Alice and I wouldn't be running around for some time so we got to sit out. Not that they really did anything. They had to just run a few laps and then basically just learned what we were going to be doing the rest of the year.
Alice and I just sat on the benches watching Edward and Jasper make fools of themselves to entertain us. Any time they passed by us they'd do something really dumb like jump in the air with there legs spread apart and hands in the air looking like a star and shout really loudly, "Superstar!" Or Edward would bend down and they'd do a few leap frogs over each other. Once, Jasper totally tripped over Edward and they ended up in a very……lets just say awkward situation.
Jaspers legs got caught around Edward's head and when Edward fell backwards he was lying on Jasper, the funniest part was when the teacher came over and said, "Break it up you two! No need for this show of public affection!" There were lots of whistles and me and Alice were laughing so hard we had to clutch out stomachs to not fall down. Even the boys were cracking up.
After sitting through the boring lecture on how to act in gym and what will be going on we got to leave, finally! We then had biology. Oh what good memories that brought. I sat next to Edward in the two person table and Alice and Jasper sat in front of us. Behind us though was—sadly—Tanya and Jessica. It seems those two had become pretty good friends over the summer, Jess won't even talk to me now.
Tanya didn't say anything more to me but she kept whispering to Jess, I heard my name mentioned a few times along with the words slut, whore, or boy-snatcher but I acted as if I didn't hear them. They can't offend me.
We were listening to an oh so interesting lecture on how we were going to be learning about the molecules of plant cells when I felt a big bump in my stomach. I gasped and everyone looked towards me.
My face blushed heavily and I looked down to the desk hoping the eyes would put their gaze elsewhere. "Is everything okay Bella?" my teacher—Ms. Stacey—asked me.
I nodded trying not to look up, "I'm f-fine." She must have believed my answer cause she agreed and started talking again.
"What was that gasp for?" he asked with worry, "Are you okay?"
I nodded again, "I felt a bump, one of the babies kicked," I said quietly so no one would hear. I was very excited! I never expected to feel this….this elated!
His worried expression changed to a big smile, "That's wonderful! That's just…..just awesome!" I laughed; it almost seemed as if he couldn't think of words to say. I nodded gently and took a hold of his hand underneath the desk.
I heard a scoff and looked back to see Tanya staring at out embraced hands. She looked like she was going to be sick. As if on queue of thinking the work sick, my stomach lurched.
"Ms. Stacey!" I called not bothering to raise my hand away from my mouth.
She saw and nodded before I could even explain. I ran towards the bathroom not even waiting when Edward called after me. My morning sickness and sickness in general has been pretty bad lately, I really haven't gone one day without having it, I hope that's normal.
I slumped down in the stall only to hear my name being called by that certain velvet voice. I gasped, "Edward! This is the girl's room!" He could get in trouble for being in here.
He laughed and I opened up the stall, "Well, I think I have an excuse, not like I'm being some perverted teenage boy, I'm trying to help my wife who's sick."
I nodded, "Th--." I started but within seconds I had my head over the toilet seat. Edward had my hair pulled back as I threw up. "Gosh I hate this!" I cried a few tears streaming down my cheeks.
"It'll be over soon," he told me; his voice was filled with pain.
"Are you okay?" I asked him once I finished my episode, "You sound upset."
He shook his head, "I'm fine, I just hate seeing you like this. I wish I could lift some of this pressure off of you." I smiled appreciatively, if this was up to him, he'd be the one pregnant, not me. I thought about this causing me to laugh.
"What's so funny?" he asked his brows furrowed.
"I'm thinking…….thinking of what you would look like if you were p-pregnant." I let out a loud laugh.
He chuckled, "That's pleasant." After a few minutes of me breathing in deep breathes he said, "Ready to go back to class?" I nodded and he helped me get up.
We walked hand in hand all the way to class and didn't untangle our hands even when we got in there. Pretty much as soon as we both sat down the bell rang. Off to history we were.
* * * * *
The rest of the day went pretty well. I still haven't been feeling all that well since biology though. Alice said she's been feeling fine other than the occasional morning sickness. Alice was eating like a mad woman at lunch while I on the other hand fought throwing up at even the scent of the food.
When school finally ended I got into the car with Edward and thankfully got to go home. "Bella, seriously, are you okay?"
No, I thought. I felt a little dizzy and I felt as if I could fall asleep at any moment. I just altogether didn't feel well. But, I lied, "Yeah, I feel, fine." My face was flush.
He looked unconvinced but took my answer. The rest of the drive was slow, I had my head against the window, a slight headache was coming, the coolness of the window felt nice.
When we got home I went straight up to bed and Edward was right behind me, following like a dog would follow its owner. Within seconds my eyelids drooped and I was out like a light.
*+*+*+*+The Next Morning*+*+*+*+*+*
I woke up from the slight bit of sun shining into the bedroom window. Edward was looking at me with curious eyes; I guess making sure I was alright. I felt a stab of pain in my stomach. Cramps I guessed, people get them when they are pregnant.
When I talked my voice was a bit hoarse, "I think I'm g-going to stay home t-today."
He nodded, "I'll stay home with you."
I shook my head quickly, "No, no, it won't be any fun here, just me sleeping, I'm just really tired." Lie, I was a lot more than just tired, "You won't miss out on anything."
He looked at me skeptically, "I'm staying."
I shook my head again, "No your not." He couldn't miss school because of me! I mean, it's only the second day and he misses it? That's not fair for him; the first days of school are like the only ones we don't do anything! He should enjoy it while it lasts.
"Yes I am," he fought.
"Nope," I said popping the 'p'.
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes"
"NO!" I yelled, "You're going to school and that's final! If anything happens I'll call." He was getting me angry now. "Understand?"
He glared at me, wishing I'd let him stay, "Fine."
"Good." I told him my eyes still drooping even though I've been asleep since about three o'clock yesterday.
"Well," he told me eyeing me warily, "Go back to sleep."
"Nope," he looked confused, I sighed and said, "I don't trust you, if I go to sleep now you're just going to stay, I'm watching you leave."
"Crap! You guessed my plan," he said jokingly. It was hard for him to stay mad at me for too long, as was for me to stay mad at him.
I smiled and kissed him daintily on his lips, "I'll see you after school lets out."
He nodded and started getting ready for school. It didn't take him that long and once he finished I gave him one last hug and kiss as he went on his way to Forks High. I sighed, I really wanted him to stay, but I had to let him go, he needs a life other than just me.
I fell asleep quickly but woke with a start. It was about 2:00 so Edward would be home at around three. My stomach hurt really badly and my head felt seriously dizzy. I tried to stand up but I felt as if I were going to fall. I had to call Carlisle, or just someone!
I was really scared for while but decided I had to try to get up. What would happen to me? Or worse, what would happen to the babies if I didn't get help?
I stumbled over to the phone which was across the room, but before I had the chance to get there, I fell—hard—and black overtook my vision.
A/N: sorry for the cliffy!!!!!!! I just had to end it tht way! But everyone will find out whats up with Bella in the next chapter! I hope you liked it, PLEASE REVIEW!
P.s. just to say again, a huge thanx to liz526 she gave me some wonderful ideas!
