Disclaimer: As always, I don't own it, never have, never will…tragically.

However…

Oh however, let me share with you the things I do own…a charge on my debit card for $9.99 from itunes for Monster De Lux by 100 Monkeys, a file on my desktop with about 200 pictures and a few videos from my epic Gin Wednesday this week at The King King on Sunset Blvd, a new found addiction…I mean love…for 100 Monkeys, with or without Jackson, and that's saying a lot. Because I went to see him, and he wasn't there and while I should've been disappointed, I wasn't, the band is amazing and the lack of sleep, hangover of sorts was WELL worth it the next day. I recommend to ALL of you, that if you EVER and I mean EVER, get the chance to see 100 Monkeys, run and run quickly, because they are amazing.

And while my mind has been completely monkey the past few days, I also own the rights to my epic "I work at Disneyland and had a run in with Peter Facinelli last Friday" story. :D All I'm going to say is…hot damn the man is beautiful. Pictures, nor videos/movies do the man justice, at all. That smile, the voice, holy hale the man is all sorts of beautiful.

So it's been a Twilight filled week for me, for sure.

I do want to apologize though…I know I said ya'll wouldn't go this long without an update again, but you know what life happens…yes it does.

This goes out to my tritriplets, miztrezboo and nostalgicmiss...especially miztrezboo who had to endure my distractions while waiting for me to post (hun, keep your red wellies in the closet!), ladies...you're amazing. Oh and a shout out to goldentemptress! :D

Oh and thanks to my vamptastic beta, katie, darlin' you're amazing...and you deal with my whining. :D

So without any more of my rambling…let's get to it…

BPOV:

"I still can't believe my brother actually had the guts to do it," Alice gushed. Her feet were propped up on the table, surrounding by opened baby shower gifts. A plate of veggies and ranch dip resting on her stomach. "When he told me what he had planned I started to cry Bella, cry."

I laughed. We were all sitting around the Whitlock's living room after Alice's baby shower. Which was an event in itself. I think Alice and Jasper now have more than enough baby things to last them a lifetime.

The guests left a half an hour ago. Leilah was upstairs in the guest bedroom sleeping, which left Rosalie, Alice and I to relax in the living room for once. We were reliving the story of Edward's proposal last week for what seemed the hundredth time. According to my two best friends the story never got old.

"Right, Alice? Who knew Edward could pull off such a romantic plan without ruining the surprise," Rosalie added. She was mindlessly running her fingers across her small little baby bump.

"Guys come on give him some credit. It really was a thoughtful idea," I sighed.

"Oh it was. I give my dear 'ol brother tons of credit. But it was you Bella that was worried about the fact Edward was staying out later than usual, working late," Alice said with a smile.

"Oh, shut it."

"Wait, what is Alice talking about?" Rosalie asked.

"Alice," I warned.

"Oh shush, Bella," Alice said turning her attention towards Rosalie, "You remember that lunch we had last week? The one where Bella took me home?"

"Yeah, I do. I was stuck at the office the rest of the night with that douche bag Mike Newton," Rosalie scoffed, rolling her eyes.

"Well, Bella voiced some, concerns, she had about Edward's habits the weeks prior to Valentine's Day. What was it Bella? Late nights, weird working hours?"

I picked up the nearest pillow on the couch and launched it towards Alice.

"Hey now, no hitting the pregnant lady!" Alice exclaimed throwing the pillow back at me.

"Well maybe you deserved it, both of you," I huffed throwing a pillow Rosalie's direction. "Both of you knew about the proposal and didn't tell me!"

"Hey, in my defense all Edward told me was that he was planning something special and that he couldn't have you sneaking off to the house early. He just asked if it would possible for Emmett and I to stop off and tinker with your car, hun. I had my speculations, but I had no concrete proof." Rosalie defended herself.

I glanced over at Alice.

"What?" she throw her hands up in surrender. "Don't look at me. My brother asked me not to tell. So I didn't tell. But I'm not gonna take all the blame for this. Jasper knew just as much as I did. Who do you think helped him with the tabs? He was over at our house practically everyday."

"Darlin', I'm home!" Jasper southern accent echoed through the house as he opened the door.

"Jasper Whitlock!" I exclaimed getting off the couch and heading towards the three unsuspecting guys standing at the door.

"Um…" Jasper stuttered.

"Dude, what'd you do to Bella?" Emmett whispered to Jasper poking him in the side with his elbow.

"I can't believe you, Jasper! After all we've been through!" I exclaimed again stopping right in front of me.

"Um, I'm sorry? I wish you would tell me what it was I exactly did sweets," Jasper said offering me a smile.

"You knew, you knew about Edward's plans for Valentine's Day and didn't tell me. Jasper Whitlock, after all we've been through..."

"Not this again," Edward scoffed pushing his way through Emmett and Jasper.

"Dude, don't leave me here," Jasper pleaded. "It's your fault she's upset."

"Sorry man," Edward called out from the couch where he took up a seat next to Alice.

Jasper looked down at me.

"So?"

"Bella, what would you have done if I told you anyways, except freak out?"

"I wouldn't have freaked out!"

"Yeah you would've," Rosalie said as she bit into her celery stick.

"Rosie's right Bells. You're freaking out now," Emmett added.

"You guys are impossible you know that?" I huffed.

"Awe, but we love you, Bella," Jasper smirked pulling me into a hug.

"Whatever, Jasper, whatever, you guys."

"Well it seems like you made out pretty good today Ali," Emmett commented picking through the pile of baby stuff in the corner of the room.

"Yeah well now I just have to get the nursery ready and everything will be good to go for this little guy," Alice said lovingly as she rubbed her stomach, something I notice she started doing a whole lot more that past few weeks.

I casually looked over at Jasper.

When did he plan to give her the nursery?

"Oh, baby, I forgot," Jasper got up and walked over to the coat rack, pulling out a small white box out of his pocket. "Uh, happy baby shower?"

He handed the box to Alice with a worried look on his face.

"Happy baby shower, Jasper? At least get creative with it," Emmett joked turning to Rosalie. "Why not go for something like 'Happy I knocked you up' or 'thanks for carrying my little swimmer for nine months'?"

"Emmett!" Rosalie exclaimed slapping him on the shoulder.

"Ouch!" Emmett started to rub the spot on his arm, "pregnancy has made you one snappy lady, baby."

"Emmett…" I warned him. Sometimes Emmett really had to learn when to keep his mouth shut.

"Well, it's your fault," Rosalie huffed, "Go ahead, Alice. Open it, it's from all of us."

Alice carefully lifted the box open almost like she was afraid something would pop out and scare her.

"Oh, a key…thanks?" she whispered a bit disappointed as she picked up the gold key up.

"Aren't you even the least bit curious to what the key is to?" Edward asked sensing his sister's disappointment.

"Well yeah." Alice turned to Jasper. "Jasper, honey, what's the key for?"

"A door," Jasper smirked sarcastically.

"No shit, Sherlock," Alice retorted.

"Come on," Jasper said offering his hand out for her to take.

We all curiously watched as Alice and Jasper slowly headed up the stairs.

"Are we really just going to sit here and listen to her squeal about the nursery?" Rosalie asked quietly.

"No! Let's go, come on Rosie," Emmett exclaimed pulling Rosalie up out of her seat dragging her towards the stairs.

"After you, my love." Edward motioned for me to step out in front of him.

I offered him a polite smile and followed Rosalie and Emmett up the stairs. We met up with Jasper and Alice just as they stopped in front of Jasper's old office door, the new nursery.

"Do you all know what's going on?" Alice asked as she jammed the key into the knob.

"Rosalie did say it was from all of us," Emmett said with a smile.

"Ya'll suck," she muttered unlocking the door and pushing it open not even paying any attention to the room in front of her. "Why was your office locked anyways, Jasper?"

He didn't say a word, just grinned at her like the Cheshire Cat.

Her hand fumbled against the wall and flicked the light on lighting the nursery up.

"Oh…my…god…" she gasped with her hand gripped tightly over her mouth. She stepped farther into the room.

We all hung back watching as Alice explored her nursery. One hand casually resting on her stomach, the other exploring every inch of surface she could get her hands on. Along the circus animal themed border to the dark oak dresser to match the crib and the changing table. She paused briefly at the crib and tapped the animal mobile handing above it. Her eyes then flickered to the corner of the room.

Her eyes teared up as she stared at the corner.

At her Grandma's rocking chair.

The chair her Grandma rocked her mom to sleep at night in, the one Esme rocked her and Edward to sleep at night. The very one she dreamed of rocking her baby to sleep at night in the corner of this very room, facing the giant window she used to sit by as Jasper furiously worked on his different projects.

That was the one specification Jasper had. The rocking chair had to be in that corner.

"You guys did a great job," Jasper's voice rang from behind me as he placed his hand on my shoulder.

"Well the design was all Alice. The four of us just brought her dream to a reality." I peeked into the room and found Alice slowly rocking in the chair, her hands rubbing against her stomach, softly humming something.

It was in that chair, in that corner she was home.

"I'm glad I gave in and gave her the chair," Edward whispered into my ear.

"It was very nice of you. I know how much you wanted it yourself."

"Well, maybe she can share."

"So do you like, darlin'?" Jasper asked stepping into the room.

"Oh, Jasper!" She stood up from the rocking chair flinging herself into Jasper's arms knocking him back a few steps.

"I take it that's a yes."

"Yes! I can't believe you do this for me," she looked over at the door way at the four of us standing there. "All of you. This is exactly how I pictured it and…"

She got quiet walking over to us, straight to Edward.

She didn't even say a word. She just stood in front of him, tears falling down from her eyes and he welcomed her into his arms. She sobbed into his chest, he whispered things to her occasionally wiping a tear from her eyes. It was one of the brother-sister bonding moments we all felt we were intruding on.

"Aright, alright, that's enough you two," Emmett sighed.

Edward and Alice just looked at him and laughed.

"Come on boys, let's go bring all of the baby stuff up here," Edward said letting go of his sister. She smiled at him giving him a kiss on the cheek.

The three boys wandered downstairs leaving the three of us upstairs.

"So, you really like it, Alice?" I asked stepping into the room leaning against a wall.

"I love it. You even got the color I wanted for the wall," she whispered a few tears falling from her eyes again.

"Well, it's what you wanted and Jasper wanted to surprise you."

"You two are the greatest." Alice pulled Rosalie and I into a hug.

"Well, to be truthful I really didn't do too much. Emmett wouldn't let me anywhere near the paint, because he didn't want to expose the baby to the fumes. He also wouldn't let me help put any of the furniture together, claiming it was a man's job. So I did what I did best, I shopped," Rosalie admitted proudly.

"Well, you did a great job, Rosalie. I can't wait to start shopping for your nursery. Are you and Emmett planning on knowing what you're going to have?" Alice asked curiously.

"We've talked about. Emmett really wants to know, honestly I don't care. So I think we're going to find out. I guess it's easier that way, this way you can go shopping. It's so much easier to buy things for a baby if you know what you're going to have."

"Have you guys figured out a name yet?" I asked.

"We have," Alice smirked.

"Well? Are you going to tell us?" Rosalie pursed.

"That my dear friends, I cannot. Jasper and I want to keep it a secret until the little guy is born."

"Well that stinks. You know there was this baby store at Bellevue Square that does free embroidery on all the merchandise. There was this really cute blanket I wanted to get for you, but I didn't know what you were going to name him. Even if you would just give me the initi-"

Alice interrupted Rosalie.

"Don't think so, Rosalie McCarty. I know you. If I even hint at the initials you'll pour yourself into baby name books trying to find it."

"Can't blame me for trying," Rosalie smirked. "Tell you what. I'll disclose the names Emmett and I are thinking about if you tell me what you're naming my nephew."

"Nope!" Alice said turning around and heading out the door. "I'm thirsty. Do we still have that iced tea left?"

Rosalie turned to me.

"Hey, don't look at me." I put my hands up in surrender. "You're the one that is dying to know what they're naming the baby. It's not my fault Alice and Jasper are being stubborn and don't want to tell anyone. Honestly it's very Alice and Jasper."

"I guess," Rosalie sighed.

"Watch out, coming through," Emmett boomed as he walked through the door his arms piled with baby supplies.

"Em, watch where you're going with that stuff," Rosalie exclaimed as he set the bags and boxes down on the floor.

"Sorry, baby." He planted a kiss on her lips then dragged her out of the room with her. A faint, "I'm hungry, Rosie" could be heard from down the hall.

I sat down in rocking chair in the corner of the room, looking out the window. Something about sitting in this corner was peaceful, I could see why Alice loved it. Rocking back and forth it reminded me of the days when I used to rock Leilah to sleep in my arms when she was a baby or even watch Jacob cuddle with this small human being.

The shimmer of my engagement ring in the light caught my eye and I sighed wondering what the future had for Edward and I.

We really haven't talked about wedding plans. We really haven't talked about anything regarding the future. It was a grey area.

But I couldn't help but imagine myself pregnant with Edward's baby or chasing after a little boy with Edward's green eyes. For some reason it brought a tear to my eye. Just something about finally having my happily ever after made me all warm and tingly inside. I spent so much of the past two years coming to terms with the fact I would be alone the rest of my life, I never even thought about the possibility of actually being happy. Let alone with Edward.

"Bella, we're ordering Chinese do you want anything particular?" Edward asked breaking my thoughts.

"Huh?"

"Bella, are you okay? Are you crying?" Edward rushed to my side, kneeling down in front of me, wiping away my salt stained cheeks.

"I'm fine Edward, it's just…"

"Just what, love?"

I looked down at him, deep into his green eyes.

"All this baby planning as got me into this weird funk."

Wait, that just makes me sound like I'm one of those crazy ladies that crave to have a baby.

"Oh?" Edward looked curious. I knew he wanted nothing more than to start a family of his own. His eyes turned from worried to full of lust and hunger.

"Edward, not like that. It's just sitting here in this chair reminds me of when Leilah was a baby. Do you remember?"

"Of course. I remember the day you called me frantically because and I quote," he paused in attempts to control his laughter, "'Edward, something is wrong there's this liquid dripping down my leg and I don't know what it is.' do you remember that, Bella?"

God that was horrifying. Jacob was at work, same with my dad. Alice and Jasper were house hunting outside of Seattle. Emmett and Rosalie were still in New York with Edward and Tanya. I called everyone and Edward was the only one who picked up.

"You know what? Shut up, Cullen."

"I just find it hilarious that you called me, the person all the way across the country, panicking."

"I didn't know what to do! Jacob wasn't picking up his phone and I was too huge to drive. I wasn't due for another week!"

"Yes, I know. I'm just giving you a hard time. Do you remember what I told you Bella?"

"You told me to take a deep breath. That the liquid dripping down my leg was my water breaking. Then you told me to try Jacob again, at the shop. Which I did and eventually got a hold of him. Then, then do you remember what you did, Edward?"

"I hung up, called Tanya at work, called the airlines, then took a cab to JFK. I got to the hospital just as you were pushing."

"But you made it."

"I did. I told you I was going to be there. You laughed at me, but I kept my promise. I always keep my promises, Bella." He took my hand and placed a soft kiss on it. "Is that all that's bothering you?"

"Well, I was thinking about the…wedding," I sighed.

I wasn't sure what he would say about it. I mean he's the one that asked me to marry him so of course he wanted to marry me, but he never brought it up. So I didn't want to.

"What about it?"

"We haven't talked about it."

"I didn't want to rush you into anything." He pushed a stray piece of hair out of my face. "Whenever you're ready, I'm ready. Whatever you want, I'll give you. No matter what, even if it is a lavish wedding."

"No. I've had the big wedding. It wasn't my thing remember? And if I can recall it wasn't your thing either. It was Alice's thing."

"Yes well my sister can go a little over board if you don't stop her. Like I said, whatever you want I'll give you. Just say the word and it's done."

What have I done to win this man over?

"Even if it's a small wedding down at the court house with the Justice of the Peace?"

"If even it's a small wedding down at the court house. Bella all that matters is I walk away from that day with you officially mine forever."

*sigh*
