What's mine: A lava lamp! And another thing: Has anyone read the Vampire Academy books? I've never heard of them. All I found out is that my dad bought me the most recent one and I know there's a bunch before that one. The one I have is called Last Sacrifice. I'm gonna be lost unless I figure out what the first one is.

A/N: Hello! How was your New Year's? Mine sucked. I'm broke so I couldn't celebrate. Bummer! Did anyone see Rob/Kristen pics on Isle of Wight? You gave me the nicest reviews! We're jumping time below, just a heads up.

See you at the bottom!

"Merry Christmas, E," Bella smiled and kissed me.

Best. Christmas. Ever.

And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance in a storm in my best dress
Fearless

BPOV

I'm starting to show! I'm starting to freakin' show! I wasn't showing at my doctor's appointment five days ago. I'm so excited! I got up this morning with a full bladder and looked down at my tummy to discover a little bump has popped out. My navel hasn't poked out but my tummy is hard. I have to tell Edward! He hasn't been able to stay with me for the past three days because of work and this should really surprise him. I'd have to go on maternity leave by my fifth month and had yet to tell Tyler I was pregnant. Hey, he was out of town with his boyfriend and family in the Alps. What was I supposed to do? Interrupt his extended holiday vacation? Rude.

"We gotta show Daddy, baby C. He's going to be so happy," I whispered to my belly as I dressed. I'd stop by his office before I had to work and show him. I chose a black, v-neck tee, a pair of my old skinny jeans because they were sort of loose around my hips, a thin, gray, light cardigan, black, flat suede boots with rhinestones around the ankle from Rose and Em, my B necklace Alice and Jazz got me for Christmas, and a pair of diamond studs that were from Esme and Carlisle.

I had yet to shop for maternity clothes, which needed to be done one of these days or I'd be walking around naked. I tied my hair into a low ponytail, put my rings on, grabbed my coat and a granola bar, took my keys from the key hook, said goodbye to Maggie, who by the way was getting bigger and walked out the door to my new bright red, 2011 Chevy HHR. A Christmas gift from Edward, my parents and their significant others.

They surprised me with it on Christmas Day after somehow trading in my other car and paying for the remaining price. I cried. It had tan, leather seats, tan interior, a CD player, satellite radio, an IPOD station, and child safety locks. It was a wonderful family car; just perfect for our expected baby. My mom handed me the keys and Edward took me for a drive in it. He loved my car; he always tried to get me to let him take it to work with him and rarely got his way.

He had his Mercedes, which was also big enough for our baby so that was a good thing. You can never be too prepared. I started my car, turned on the heat, and switched the radio to my IPOD for classical music to soothe me and my little one. It was supposed to make her smart as she grew inside me. I had a strong feeling I was having a girl. I pulled out of the garage and drove down to Edward's office.

When I got there, I shut my car off, looped my purse around my shoulder and locked the doors before going inside. I walked through the doors and went stood in front of Lauren, Edward's assistant's desk. She looked like a bitch but she really wasn't. She had shoulder length, blond hair, blue eyes, thin body and was about three inches taller than me. Her husband, James, worked for the Seattle Police Department and the two had a son together who was in kindergarten. "Is he busy?"

"Hello, Bella. No he's not busy, Carlisle is with him. I'll tell him you're here. If you could just sit right over there, that would be great."

"'K." I sat down in the cushy chair and waited. Lauren spoke into the phone then hung up.

"He's ready, Bella."

"Thank you, Lauren," I said to her as I passed. I turned the knob and stepped inside. Carlisle was sitting on Edward's couch as Edward wrote something on his desk calendar. I smiled at Carlisle and hugged him as he spoke to me, "Hello, Bella. How are you?"

"Never better."

"Anymore morning sickness?"

"Nope." For the first three weeks I was continually throwing up; I couldn't keep anything down but I was always starving. I still had cravings but no puking. I didn't think it would ever end. My hormones were still raging and Edward was always there to fulfill my sexual needs or whenever I cried, he'd hold me or be my punching bag every time I had a mood swing. And Carlisle, being the good doctor he is, always looked out for me and made sure I was healthy even though he wasn't a gynecologist.

"That's good. We want my grandchild healthy and happy."

"Aye aye, captain." I stuck my hand out in salute

"Such a character, you are, Bella."

"But she's my character," Edward added and rounded his desk towards me. He engulfed me in a hug and kissed my neck. "Hi, baby."

"Hi. How are you?"

He pulled back and placed his forehead against mine, "Fantastic. You?"

"Super. But I have something to show you. And Carlisle since he's here."

"What is it?" They both asked.

I took off my coat and pulled my shirt up, past my belly, "I'm showing a little. See?" Edward's eyes widened as a massive grin spread across his mouth. He got down on his knees and placed his warm hands on my little baby bump then looked up at me, tears forming in his emerald eyes. I reached down and wiped the falling saltwater away, "That's our baby in there, E."

"Our baby," he whispered and pressed his lips to my tummy. He looked at Carlisle, "Our baby, Dad."

"I know, son. Your baby. My grandchild."

"I'm so happy, angel," he turned to me. He then placed one more kiss to my bump then stood to kiss me. I licked my lips and spoke to my future father-in-law.

"You wanna feel, Grandpa?"

"Most definitely," Carlisle replied and placed his hands lightly on my baby bump. "My little grandchild."

"You should tell Esme."

"Oh, baby, he will. Trust me. When those two get to talking about something huge to them, they cluck like hens. You'll see," Edward interjected. "I'm gonna leave early. I have a surprise for you. It's at my place."

"Ooooh, what is it?"

"Bell, why would I tell you if it's a surprise?"

"You love me."

"Loving you is why I'm not telling you, baby."

"Alright you two, I'm gonna head out," Carlisle called, "and, Edward, I may talk to your mother a lot but I am no hen. I'm male, meaning I am a coc-"

"Dad! No, don't say it. I take it back. You're not a hen. But I never wanna hear that word come out of your mouth. Ever." Edward's cheeks were pink from embarrassment but Carlisle just stood there, chuckling. I giggled as I fixed my shirt, watching father and son interact.

"Alright, Edward, I'll stop. But when I'm with your Mom, she loves it when I say co-"

"Dad!" Edward cried, "no more! Please."

At this point I was bent over, clutching my sides, laughing so loud at the two of them. Carlisle was a virile man and I wouldn't blame him if he said 'cock'. The Cullen men had good...well, everything, really.

"I...can't...oh, God...hilarious," I panted, wiping the tears from my face.

"I'm so ecstatic you find my humiliation funny, Isabella. How would you like it if your parents talked about their sex lives in front of you and the father of your child?"

"My parents are divorced, babe. They don't have sex anymore and I'm never around either of them to discuss Phil and Sue so I'm fine. Come on, Edward, you got your genes from both of them. Relax."

"He could have at least said rooster instead of...that other word," Edward grimaced. I kissed his jaw and waved to his father. Edward gave Carlisle a half wave and walked out the door. "You ready?"

"Yes. Bring on the surprise, dude!"

"Dude?" he quirked his brow.

"Shut up. Go." I pushed his shoulders out the door as I followed. "Which car we takin'?"

"Yours," Edward answered but then turned to me, pouting, "Bella, baby, can I please drive? Please, pretty please?"

"I'm starting to think you only picked that car out for your pleasure, Edward Cullen."

"No, I got it for you and our baby. It drives like a dream. Can I please drive? I promise you'll love the surprise, scout's honor."

"Fine," I rolled my eyes.

"Thank you, sweetheart. I love you," he smiled and pulled me into a kiss.

"Yeah, yeah." I didn't know what was with him and that car; he acted like it was a gift from the vehicle Gods. Edward slid into the driver's seat and started the ignition.

"Purrs like a kitten for me, Bell. I'll have Em pick my car up later."

"You're a nut, Mr. Cullen."

"I love you," he grinned.

"I love you, too." We took off down the street to his apartment where my surprise was located.

- - *S* - - *S* - -

"Show me, show me, show me!" I chanted as I pulled on Edward's arm.

"For someone who claims to hate surprises, you sure are a bouncy thing today. Quit jumping, you'll rattle the baby."

"C'mon, E. Hurry it up."

"Alright, Bells. Chill." Edward took my hand as we walked down the hallway. He stopped at the door to his office and stood there looking at me nervously.

"My surprise is in your office?"

"I kind of don't have an office anymore," Edward bit his lip.

"Well, what did you do with it?"

"I got rid of my home office. I thought this surprise was more important."

"Edward, what is it?"

"Well...it's hard to explain so I'll just let you see for yourself," he placed his hands over my eyes and nudged the door open then walked us in. I smelled flowery scents and baby powder.

"Can you uncover my eyes now?"

"Why?" I placed my hands over his.

"I'm scared you won't like it." His voice was a little shaky, like he was sickly nervous.

"Well you gotta let me be the judge of that, honey. Can I look now?"

"Ok," he sighed and removed our hands. I opened my eyes and gasped. (Oh, you would have tracked me down and killed me if I stopped right there. I was thinking about it. *evil grin*)

A baby nursery.

Tears filled my eyes and fell slowly down my cheeks. It was gorgeous. Two walls were painted a creamed yellow and the other two walls were painted peach, a mutlicolored rug in front of a white wood crib, a rocking chair next to it, a changing station dresser, pictures on the walls, teddy bears on the floor, light shining through the windows, another little dresser in the corner with a lamp on it, a baby monitor, the crib was completely made; bedding and all. A stroller was folded up next to the changing station, a diaper bag, baby clothes for newborns, bottles, formula. Everything was already done.

"I just...I figured I should contribute to the pregnancy because you'll already have to deal with carrying her and I really don't need an office because I have one at work and if I needed to I could work from the kitchen or couch so our baby could have a room. And if you wanted to move back in before she comes, I can renovate my room for you so it won't look trashy, and I mean I want you to move back in if you want to do that."

He took a deep breath and pulled at his hair as he continued.

"I just...I love you more than anything in this world and I love our baby and I really want you to like it but if you don't we can get Alice in here to put her designing skills to the test and if we have a boy we can get a different rug but you said you had a good feeling it was a girl and we can buy more things when she's born so she can have the best life I-we can give her and your silence is kind of freaking me out so if you could say something, sweetheart, it would really help me because I'm afraid you'll hate it and I'm going to feel like the biggest ass for not decorating this room like you like it and I don't know what the tears you're crying mean and if you could tell me..." Edward trailed off, taking another breath.

The poor man was rambling and all I could do was stand there and cry happy tears. I put him out of his misery by throwing my self at him, laying kisses up and down his neck and jaw as more happy tears fell, "I love it, Edward. I can't believe you would do this for me. I love you so much!"

"Is this the hormones talking or do you really love it?" He murmured into my neck.

"One percent hormones, ninety-nine percent loving it. I love it and I love you for doing this. I love you, E!"

"Thank God," he sighed, "I love you, too, baby."

I pulled back and captured his lips with mine, sliding my tongue inside his mouth, biting, licking, brushing mine against his. We devoured each other's mouths for what seemed like ages but regrettably had to stop for breath. We weren't fish. I kissed him lightly once more and walked around the area, studying it closer. A little mobile was hanging from the head of the crib so I pressed the 'play' button and notes from 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' flowed from the little speaker as the stars spun around, lighting up. There was a yellow Carebear sitting on the blue and green Carebear bedspread. It was a Carebears crib; they were also on the bumper pads.

"I love the Carebear theme, honey," I smiled at Edward as I picked up the yellow bear with a sun on its tummy.

"That's Sunshine Bear," he whispered shyly. He's just the cutest thing when it came to our baby.

"I see that."

"I've got Good Luck Bear and I can get Share Bear, Love-A-Lot Bear, Funshine Bear, Bedtime Bear, Cheer Bear, and Wish Bear if you want them for her. There's more. They'll help her learn in the future."

"You are the most adorable man," I cooed as I hugged him tightly.

"I just want the best for her and Ali had Carebears when she was younger so..."

"It's perfect, sweetie. Until the time comes, though. God, you just melt when it's about her. I love it."

"She's my baby girl," he smiled and rubbed my belly. "I love you, Bella."

"And I love you."

"OH MY GOD! This room is so cute!"

Edward and I turned around to discover his whole family looking at the nursery with Alice jumping up and down. "Hey, guys."

"Bella, this nursery is beautiful. Did you do it?" Esme asked.

"It was a surprise from Edward. He did it."

"No shit?" Emmett broke in.

"No shit."

"Well, I'll be damned," Jazz chuckled, "you've designed a baby room, Ed. Without your sister."

"Yeah, without me," Ali pouted. "But you at least thought of me, right? I had Carebears when I was little."

"I did think of you, A. You were in spirit."

"Yay," she clapped.

"Well, I think it's perfect," Rose interjected. Carlisle nodded in agreement. "Good work, Cullen."

"Thanks, Rose," Edward grinned. "Bella cried. Then made out with me."

"Shut up!" I hissed then giggled at him. "He's a big puddle of goo talking about the baby. He wanted to buy all the Carebears but right now he got...which ones?"

"Sunshine Bear and Good Luck Bear," he answered proudly.

"I love Friend Bear," Ali smiled.

"How many are there?" Rose asked.

"47," Ali replied, "There's 10 original and 37 were added later on."

"Fuck," I whispered, "that's a lot. Of course the collection will build over time, I'm guessing."

"Maybe."

"I love you," Edward whispered. I cupped his cheek and smiled.

"AWWWWW!"

"Shut it," I called behind me to the others and back to Edward, "I love you. Oh, I almost forgot, you guys. Look, I'm showing." I pulled my shirt up again and showed the others.

"Oh, my little grandbaby!" Esme squealed and placed her hands on my bump. Alice and Rose following right after, looking just as excited.

"How 'bout you, Em? Wanna feel your niece growing?"

"Hell yeah! But hey, where's Magster?" He touched my belly as he spoke.

"At home being her little doggie self, why?"

"Because she rocks and Rosie's cat hates my guts."

"She doesn't hate you, Emmett," Rose cried.

"My ass."

"I'll be kicking your ass if you don't socialize with Skyler. You can't have Bella's dog, get over it."

"I do and she still hates me. I'm gettin' a dog and that's final."

"Emmett, if you get a dog, I'll-" Rose didn't have the chance to finish; Emmett bent her back and layed one on her, leaving her breathless and dumbstruck. "What was I talking about?"

"Not a damn thing, baby," Em grinned.

"He said he loves you, Rose," Edward answered.

"I love you, too, Emmett."

"Well, lots of love to everyone. Come on, guys, let's go eat, I'm starving," Em interrupted. We nodded and followed him out of the room but I rubbed my tummy and spoke to her silently.

You're going to have the best life, Baby C. I promise you that. The best. Mommy and Daddy love you so much.

- - *S* - - *S* - -

A/N: For the record, I had Share Bear when I was younger but my dad lost it when we moved one time.

Do your worst!

Song was Fearless by Taylor Swift

In one of the upcoming chapters I'm going to have to type a whole song because Edward is going to be singing it. Forgive me! I know you guys don't like a butt load of lyrics but at that moment, it will be necessary. Don't hate me please! :)
