"I'm still not sure whyyou got the Sao Paulo chief of police to believe you were from the Himalayas..." I replied, laughing hysterically as he told me how he narrowly missed being detained for illegally entering Brazil. I was doing everything I could not to follow Edward out there, not to check in on him and Ben was providing much needed comic relief.
Ben smacked his lips, waving his can of soda in the air. "It's all about delivery my sweet. You can get people to do whatever you want as long as you say it right."
I rolled my eyes and scoffed. "Right. So where did you go from there? Did you run an underground drug mafia out of Chile?"
He shook his head quickly, laughing as he tried to sip his soda. "No. That was about the time I came back here. Edward and I flew down to Wellington. It's the extreme sports capital of the world, Bellista."
I smirked, feeling a hand on my shoulder and the familiar heat course through my body. I didn't have to look up to know who it was but I did anyway. I smirked looking up at Edward then back to Ben. "Welcome back. Ben here was just telling me about how you and he flew down to Wellington for extreme sports?" I looked back at Ben. "So did you go to observe or particip--"
"Why are you telling her about that?" He asked gruffly, his jaw clenched in a scowl.
Ben glanced at him, quirking a brow and leaning back in his chair. "Chill, Teddy it just came up."
"Whatever." He said sounding fed up, as he sank into the seat beside Jasper.
I looked back from Ben to Edward and back again. "Why doesn't Edward want you telling me the story?"
He chuckled softly nodding his head towards Edward. "Ask him how drunk he was while we were sky diving."
Edward stood there completely stiff, shooting daggars in Ben's direction. Whatever the story behind their skydiving trip was it was obviously it wasn't one of Edward's proudest moments.
"Well that's not going to top how drunk Bella and I are gonna get on girls night once the little one is popped out!" Alice blurted as she plopped in Jasper's lap. I looked at her and laughed. "Can moms get drunk? Is that even allowed?"
She sat up a little with Jasper's help and nodded. "Hell yea, one last horrah once I'm done breastfeeding. You and I will make a killing getting guys to buy us drinks! With my pep and your body... we'll be like, unstoppable." She went on, giggling. "I guarantee you'll have at leasta dozen guys trying to take you home and to bed." She went on, casting a sideways glance at Edward who had his jaw clenched and was shooting death glares in her direction.
"I'd like to reserve my spot right now." Ben replied raising his hand and shooting me another wink. I rolled my eyes and laughed.
His body shifted towards Jasper and his jaw was set as he asked, "Do you have your golf clubs here?"
Jasper pulled his head back and looked at him, confused. "No, they're at the house. Why?"
"Just wondering." He said, taking an exaggerated breath before standing and walking back inside the house.
I glanced looking from Jasper towards the door where Edward walked through and back to Ben, biting my lip. "Alice, I think I'm gonna go look for my room. Is that okay? Do you need anything?" She turned to me and smiled broadly. "No, we're fine here just.. be quiet if you can, Max is sleeping in the first bedroom to your left." She replied pointing to the baby monitor on the side table beside where she and Jasper were sitting. I nodded and stood, walking through the sliding door. My head turned left to right and I saw Edward walking down the hall. I jogged to catch up to him, grabbing his wrist.
"Hey, you okay?" I whispered with a hushed voice.
He spun around pushing me into his chest, murmuring into my hair. "I love you."
I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer and laughing softly. "I love you too. But again," I replied pulling away to look at him. "Are you okay?"
His vivid green eyes stared directly into mine as he spoke. "I don't like you with other people."
I couldn't help but laugh a little, looking up at him. "You don't?"
"No. Can we go home?"
"No. We have your nephew's birthday party remember?" I brought my hand up to cup his jaw, and rubbed his cheek with my thumb. "Why don't you like me with other people? Did I say something?"
He sighed, pulling me closer and rubbing his cheek against my head. "Do you know why I was drunk in Wellington?"
I shook my head against him. "No, why?"
"Because that story... is embarrassing and stupid." He paused, pulling himself back and glancing towards the closed bedroom door to his left. "And I hope you don't think less of me because of it."
"Not possible. I love you unconditionally." I said, placing a soft kiss on his lips.
His eyes shut slowly and he shook his head as if clearing something from memory. "Can we just... start over? Do this again?"
"What do you mean?" I asked, searching his face for an explanation. Did he want to take back the I love yous, the sex, all of it?
"I wanna go back in there and be okay. Not upset because Ben's trying to charm the panties off of you or because whatsherface has declared war on all things Alice."
I bit back a laugh at his reference to his girlfriend as 'whatsherface'. "Edward, look at me." His eyes flickered open and he just looked completely exhausted. "For one, I am yours, no one else's okay? So Ben could do a fire dance and walk on the water in the pool back there and I'd still be yours." I took a breath before continuing, trying to figure out the best way to phrase my next statement.
"And... as for Tanya; I'm sorry that it's such a struggle for her to get along with Alice. But this is Alice's weekend. This is what she has planned for her and her family - which includes you - for months now. I know it's hard but try and remember that, try and celebrate Alice for being the strong woman she is - about to have another child, and enjoy your nephew who is down the hall sleeping away his infancy."
I smiled warmly moving closer to him. "And remember all of it, all of the negativity all of the bad feelings may resurface later, but right now it's a weekend to celebrate and enjoy your family, okay?"

I looked into her deep brown eyes and I found myself wondering how she could calm me down so easily. I sighed, and lent my forehead to hers, "I need you more than you could ever know."
Bella smiled, "And you have me."
I nodded, kissing the tip of her nose as I cupped her face in my hands. "I'm sorry for acting so terribly."
"You didn't; I was just worried."
I laughed sadly, running my thumbs over her cheeks. "I didn't even say 'hello' to you."
She smiled as she leaned up and kissed me softly. "Hi baby."
"Hey. How was the drive? Are you okay? I haven't seen you in days."
She nodded. "Yeah, I'm good; the drive was good." She paused and I could almost see the thoughts acing through her mind. "Later this weekend, once all of the celebrations are over do you think we could talk? There's something I want to run by you."
My brow furrowed and I pulled away a little bit to look at her, "Talk to me now. What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong, I just want to enjoy this weekend okay?" She replied, giving me a half- hearted smile.
"Baby, talk to me. What is it?" Was this it? Was this... it?
She moved her eyes to the ground, and her words were coming out jumbled as her voice quivered. "I-I'm really sorry... I know this is all my fault. I shouldn't have pushed you... I shouldn't have let this..."
My breathing picked up and my mind was racing. She couldn't go... I couldn't let her go... "Bella?" Don't go... please don't leave me.
Her watery eyes came back up to mine, and she shook her head, "Edward... I'm so sorry, if I had been... if we..." She closed her eyes and I watched a lone tear roll down her cheek.
I felt my eyes getting wet, but I couldn't find my voice. I leaned in and pressed a shaky kiss to her forehead. I loved her. I couldn't be without her.
She let out a deep breath before she spoke, "Edward, I think we're pregnant."
Pregnant.
Bella was pregnant.
A baby?
A baby.
Her baby and it was... mine. It was ours. "You... pregnant?"
She nodded carefully, her eyes trained on the ground. "I think so."
"A baby..." I murmured, running my thumbs over her cheek bones and feeling the smile creep across my face. "We're having a baby?"
Her breath hitched, and her eyes snapped shut. "I--I'm so sorry Edward. I should have been more careful, like you wanted us to be. I'm so, so sorry."
I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her up into me, burying my face in her shoulder. "Bella, I'm so proud that you're having my baby."
"Proud?" She pulled away a little, watching me skeptically. "You... you're proud?"
I was confused all of a sudden, "Well, it's mine right?"
She laughed softly and nodded, "You're the only one I've ever been with without a condom."
"Then I'm so proud. Bella, you're having my baby." This was it; this was what we needed. That extra push to show us the way.
She smiled, but I could tell she was still apprehensive. "You, you're really okay with this Edward?"
I kept one arm securely wrapped around her waist as my free hand came up to cup her cheek. "Bella, this is the best gift that anyone's ever given me. Okay doesn't begin to describe how I feel about our baby." I laughed, and smiled at her softly. "You're having my baby."
She smiled, and I watched the blush creep up her cheeks as she moved my hand over her abdomen. "I can't believe you're taking this so well." She said, laughing sadly. "I half expected you to break up with me on the spot."
I rubbed circles over her stomach. "Bella, I love you. And we talked about this. I meant it when I said I wanted you to have my children."
"Yeah I just didn't think... with the timing... I thought that was something we were planning for our future, not our present."
I leaned in and kissed her. "I wanted them with you. I didn't care when. I still don't. I love you, Bella. Thank you so much."
She kissed me, laughing against my lips. "You're thanking me for me getting knocked up by accident?"
I kissed her softly, my lips hovering above hers. "I'm thanking you for being the love of my life and the mother of my children. Bella, this is the greatest gift anyone will ever give me."
"It's not for certain. I haven't even taken a test." She hesitated for a moment, "I've been kinda freaked out about telling anyone, especially you."
I nodded, "Bella... I love you. Nothing will ever change that. You can tell me anything." Hypocrite.
She kissed me softly and reassuringly. "You too. You know that right? You can tell me anything. If you're worried or scared about this... I'm here, okay?"
I sighed, leaning my forehead to hers. I was worried and scared about other shit, but not Bella being pregnant. It felt right. "Bella, this is perfect. Absolutely perfect. We should tell them."
She giggled, "Who?"
I kissed the apples of her cheeks, "Them. Over there."
"So Rose and Ben know about us too?"
"Ooo, Not Rose." I realized. "Shit. Baby... do you... do you think this means that we're... doing this?" I watched her carefully as I waited for a response.
"I hate to break it to you but I think it means we've already done it." The smile that spread across her face put Julia Roberts to shame.
I smiled, nuzzling her face with mine. "You're mine, Bella. You're really mine."
"I've always been and always will be." She murmured with a kiss. "How could you have ever doubted that?"
I shook my head, kissing her back. "I never did. But this... our child... cements it. Bella, this is us having a baby. You can't... you can't understand how happy I am right now." It was true. My heart was so swollen with love for her and our unborn child that I thought it would burst.
She took my hand and nodded back toward the patio. "Come on, let's go back out there for a bit, kay? We have the rest of our lives to talk about our baby."
I smiled and let her lead me back outside.
Our Baby.
She was having Our Baby.

That went better than I ever could have imagined. Not only had he not gone screaming for the hills (and back to Tanya) but he seemed genuinely okay with it - even happy about it.
We walked back outside to where everyone had meandered from the deck down the few steps to the grassy backyard and pool. Edwards hands were on my shoulders rubbing them affectionately as we made our way over to everyone.
"Bella! What took you so long? Did you get lost?" Alice asked, sitting up quickly for someone in her second trimester. I laughed and shook my head stopping abruptly, and feeling Edward bump into my back lightly. I smiled and turned, looking to the sides. Rosalie was no where to be seen.
"Um, actually I got lost. Edward found me." I replied.
"I bethe did." Ben snipped, looking up from the grill where he and Jasper were hovering like cavemen with a Cheshire grin.
I glanced over at Edward who had rolled his eyes and was shaking his head. "You have no tact, do you?"
"I'm crushed." Ben pounded his fist against his chest. "It's like, you don't even know me."
"Oh, I know you." His body inched closer to mine as he pointed to fingers at his eyes then at Ben. "I'm watching you."
I watched the exchange between them somewhat awkwardly, before turning to Alice. "Where's Rose?" Her hand waved dismissively and she shook her head. "Apparently little miss dietician needed flax seed something or other and some kind of veggie patty scramble hash whatever because she was in a 'third cycle' or something." She responded, rolling her eyes. "Hippie dippie bullshit. She eats cows whole when no one's looking I bet." She continued, scoffing as she rubbed her stomach. I smiled at her gesture and felt myself mimicking the motion on my own stomach. Her eyes flickered up to mine and I immediately stopped my movement, but not before she raised a brow giving me a knowing look.
"What's this about Rose being gone?" Edward pipped up wrapping his arms around my waist and resting his chin on my shoulder. I sighed and leaned back against him.
"Yeah, Rose just left to do grocery shopping for herself since we're all meat-eating, processed food chewing heathens." Alice repeated, walking over to Ben and plopping down in a cushioned lawn chair.
I felt his lips brush again my ear as he whispered, "Do you want to?"
I turned my face to his and kisses his lips nodding slowly. "You tell them." I replied quietly against his mouth.
He nodded, standing up straighter and smiling brighter than I've ever seen him grin before. "We're having a baby."
Jasper's head spun around so fast I thought it was going to pop off. When I turned to look at Alice her eyes were wide but her smile even bigger. Ben just looked... disappointed?
"You're WHAT?!" Jasper asked tilting his ear towards us.
"Uh... pregnant?"
"Like, a baby?"
He rolled his eyes, laughing dryly. "Well, that's questionable. After all, it is my spawn." He said placing a firm kiss into my hair.
Jasper's eyes shot from him to me and back as he rubbed his neck. "Together?"
Edward turned his head, raising his eyebrows giving him a pointed look. "Yes..."
Jasper's posture relaxed and he exhaled. "Great. That means you've told her everything right?"
What? Everything? I turned my face towards his and saw Edward's eyes widen just enough to notice. "Everything?" I asked, confused by his choice of words.
