Hey it ain't mine.
A/N: There was high demand for this chappie. I just love how freaked out you all are for it. If you don't know me by now, I'll tell you that even though I love to add some turmoil in my stories...I'm not gonna do anything drastic or some shit. Jeez, chillax.
But that could change in this chap!
Oh my! *slaps face like Macaulay Culkin*
Let's find out shall we?
See you at the bottom!
Previously:
The pain got worse as I saw my vision blur and the darkness was starting to consume my body. "Edward, what happening to me?"
"Dad! Call an ambulance! Sweetheart, stay with me, okay? Youre gonna be fine."
Everyone filed into the foyer with looks of worry and fear evident on their faces.
"Oh, my God, Bella!" Esme gasped, tears filling her eyes. Alice sprinted past them and grabbed my hands, salt water already pouring from her own.
"Something's wr-wrong. It hu-hurts so much. I-I can't..."
My eyes rolled back into my head. My knees gave out and the last thing I felt was someone catch me in their embrace.
"BELLA!"
Everything went black.
- - *S* - - *S* - -
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

You know how some people feel like it's been hours sitting in one spot when really it's only been twenty or thirty minutes?
Well that's how I'm feeling right now.
As soon as Bella's body went limp in my arms, I've been filled with an all-consuming fear, terrified that we'd lose the baby. That I'd lose Bella; that I'd lose both her and the baby.
God, if that happens, I'll die. I'll fucking find the nearest weapon and plunge it through my heart.
"I beg to differ, young man," my mom hissed at me, tears falling from her eyes.
"Did I say that out loud?" Did I?
"Yes. And I'll not have you threatening to end your life."
"I'm sorry, Mom," I choked as my eyes filled, "I just-I don't want to lose her again. It's happened before and I almost...God, I can't lose her."
"Oh, my sweet boy," my mom gathered me as close to her chest as she could, rocking us, "Bella's strong. She'll get through this, and so will the baby. Trust me."
I knew she wasn't just trying to assure me, she was trying to assure herself as well. She was as scared as I was and nothing was certain. There was a possibility of facing a tragedy. For the two souls I loved so much, cherished more than anything in my world. In the universe.
"Ed, we're all praying for her," Emmett sat down on the other side of me.
"I just wish they'd let me in on what's going on in there. I'm the motherfucking father of that baby!" I stood up and screamed.
"Sir, I'm going to need you to keep your voice down. There are newborns sleeping on this wing," a bitchy nurse hissed at me from behind the desk.
I turned and glared at her. "Well, I wouldn't be yelling if someone would fucking let me see my damn fiancée!"
"Son," my father warned.
"No, Dad. We've been here for almost an hour and I haven't received any word on the hell's going on with Bella and our baby. I will not tolerate this SHIT!"
"Sir! Please keep your voice down," the woman growled at me once again.
"You know what, you old bitch-" The nurse's gasp cut me off. Emmett grabbed my shoulder and pulled me back as my dad walked up to the desk.
"Nurse Cope, will you please call Dr. Sterling out here?" he asked calmly. "As you can see we're all very worried. He won't settle down until he sees her. Please?"
"Of course, Dr. Cullen," she replied, glaring at me. I had the strongest urge to flip the hag off. She punched in a few numbers and put the phone to her ear.
"Yes, Dr. Sterling? We have the Cullen family out here. It seems his fiancée is a patient of yours and he's making quite the ruckus, waiting to see her."
"Old hag," I muttered under my breath.
"Eddie," Alice scolded, wiping her face. Emmett was kneeled in front of a very pregnant, upset Rosalie, shushing her and rubbing her belly. Her due date has got to be close and this stress couldn't be good on the baby or her for that matter.
"Em, why don't you take Rose home? This can't be good for your baby and I promise to tell you the news."
"But-what-Bella?" Rose stuttered, her eyes drooping from weariness.
"Rosie, baby, you need to rest. Ed will tell us the news when he can," Emmett quietly answered, stroking her hair.
"'K," she yawned and reached for Em's hands to help her. He wiped her eyes, wrapped her sweater around her body, kissed her forehead and led her towards the elevator.
"See you later, guys."
"Bye, Emmy," Alice called.
"Bye, honey," my mom answered.
"Later, man," Jazz finished as me and my dad waved. They disappeared into the elevator and were gone. I heard heels clicking on the floor and looked up as Dr. Sterling came towards us.
"Hello, everyone. Edward, will you come with me?"
"Is she okay, doctor?" I asked, my voice trembling with fear.
"She's okay, come with me." I squeezed my mom's hand and let go to follow Carmen. She led me down a few halls and to the right then stopped at the last door and opened it.
My Bella was lying on a bed, still in her clothes, her beautiful face paler than normal. "Hey," she whispered.
"Oh, my God," I choked, sprinting the short distance to her bedside, touching her face, hair anything, relieved she was still breathing. "I thought I was going to lose you. Are you okay? Is the baby okay? Sweetheart please tell me the baby's okay!"
"Shh, Edward, the baby's fine. Better than fine, she's getting bigger. That pain I was feeling was a kick and her body stretching my uterus. She's growing."
"At first, I thought maybe a placental abruption occurred but she wasn't bleeding so I checked it out and everything's fine. Seeing as this is Bella's first pregnancy and there hasn't been any kicking, she didn't really expect it to happen so out of the blue and when it did, the baby kicked her pelvic bone and caused her to experience pain. It was just shocking. The baby is healthy and Bella is fine," Dr. Sterling finished.
"What's a placental abruption?"
"It's when the placenta detaches from the uterine wall before delivery and could very likely kill the baby because it isn't getting nourished properly."
"But why did she pass out?"
"From the shock, I'm guessing and how bad it hurt. She's a little thing, Edward."
My angel is tiny.
"Thank God," I breathed.
"But guess what, E?" Bella asked.
"What, baby?"
"My due date was misinterpreted."
"What does that mean?" I turned to Carmen.
"You weren't able to give me an accurate estimate of when she conceived and I gave you the wrong time by mistake."
"So what? Will our baby be coming earlier or later than you said?"
"Earlier. Somewhere between the end of June, beginning of July."
"Seriously? Oh, my God!"
Fear was washed away and replaced with elation. My little girl would be here sooner that we thought! I kissed Bella's lips and forehead then wiped her tears away. "Why are you crying, sweetheart?"
"Because you're happy and that makes me happy."
"Why wouldn't I be happy? I get to see our baby sooner, that the most amazing news I've ever heard."
"Do you have names picked out yet?" Dr. Sterling asked with a smile.
"It's a work in progress, but I may have something," Bella answered.
"When can I take her home, doctor?"
"In a few minutes. She just has to get changed. Oh, and I'll get the new ultrasound picture. Excuse me." She walked out and I helped Bella up to change back in to her regular clothes.
I handed her her shirt, her pants and shoes. She pulled off the hospital gown slipped into her clothes. I didn't feel obligated to turn around seeing as I've had sex with her and knew what everything looked like. She sat back down and combed her fingers through her hair then looked at me.
"You get more beautiful with each day."
"Whatever," she blushed, twiddling her thumbs and playing with the diamond on her finger...
"I'm serious," I quietly replied, kneeling in front of her. I placed my hands on her belly and left them there as I spoke, "you look so happy. Anymore kicks yet?"
"No bu-" she was cut off when we felt a small jolt in her belly. "Right there, did you feel it, E?"
"Yeah, angel, I did. She kicked!"
This time, this place. Misused, mistakes, too long, too late, who was I to make you wait? Just one chance, just one breath... sang from my pocket. An unknown number.
"Hello?"
"Eddie, is everything alright?"
"Alice? Why are you calling me from the lobby and why aren't you using your own phone?"
"The nurse up front says no cell phones. Is Bella okay?"
"Yeah, she okay. Better than okay; the baby is growing, healthy and is gonna be born earlier than interpreted!"
"Oh my gosh! Really? Mom, Bella's alright and the baby is gonna be here early!"
"Like now?" I heard my mom squeal.
"No just early like..."
"The end of June, early July."
"The end of June, maybe early July."
"That's incredible! Mary Alice, get off the phone now and tell them to come to the lobby."
"Mom says to-"
"We're coming, Ali." I hung up and held out my hand to Bella. "Come on, baby, let's go home."

"So the guests will be seated as arranged. The wedding party will walk down the aisle first. Edward, you're going follow last and stand on the first step with Jasper, Em, Jacob, and Ben behind you, in that order. The parents of both parties will be seated in the first pew on each side, Bella, your father will be waiting for you at the doors to the room; you'll walk down, be given away by him and you will give me the bouquet then take Edward by the hand. Rose, Leah, and Angie will stand behind me, wearing the same dress and shoes; I, on the other hand will be wearing a different type of dress but the same color. Everyone in the wedding party will be in black except you and the groomsmen will have light gray shirts with white rose buttonholes except for Edward who will have a white shirt and a yellow rose like your bouquet, Bella. The bridesmaids will carry a single white rose as well but I will be holding your flowers so I won't carry one. Capiche?"
I'm surprised Alice had any breath after those directions.
"Yes, pixie," I smiled as everyone else nodded.
"Mrs. Dwyer, is Phil going to be attending this whole soiree?"
"No, he has a game," my mom answered her. The entire wedding party drove up from Forks for the next four days to get ready for the wedding. Everyone we had invited RSVP'd with Alice and everything was set but she still wouldn't let me see my dress. All she said was that I would love it and I had to wait until the second. The bridal shower and the bachelor and bachelorette parties were already over with and now we had to get down to business.
Alice's directions for the rehearsal were to wear something nice so that's what we had to do. My mom was wearing an orange belted dress with gold heels, my dad had a nice white button down on with olive green slacks and loafers; their hair looked nice and they were smiling at me. Carlisle was wearing a light blue button down, khakis, and black dress shoes, Esme had on a sleeveless, drape-necked, fuchsia dress with the same color of open toed pumps. I had on a white, silk wrap top with a black skirt and silver heels that would soon be coming off. My feet were starting to swell.
Speaking of Alice, she looked especially dressy. She had on a red and black lace mini dress with shiny open toe slingbacks on her feet. Rose didn't have any shoes on because her feet were already swollen but they were covered by a long, blue halter dress. All the guys were wearing pretty much what Carlisle was wearing but in different colors. Leah and Angie were both wearing pink dresses with white heels.
We finished rehearsal and went out to eat. Two hours later, stuffed from our dinner, we all filed out of the restaurant to get in our cars but were stopped by a loud "oh, shit" from Rosalie. I turned around and she looked at Em, a puddle around her feet.
"My water just broke, Emmett."
He turned and called out to Jasper and Alice who were the last to come out of the place. "Oh, fuck, Ali call the hospital and tell them we're coming. Rosie's in labor."
"Calling...Hi, yes, my sister-in-law's in labor. No, we're coming. We'll be there in five or ten minutes. Okay, thank you." She threw her hands in the air. "Let's go!"

"I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL, NEW BABY BOY!" Emmett, dressed in scrubs, came running at us, full speed, sobbing and crashed into his parents. They wrapped their arms around him and cried with.
On March 31, 2011, after fours hours of pushing, Rosalie and Emmett Cullen introduced us to Brady Carlisle Cullen at 11:45 p.m. A 7 pound, 5 ounce, 20 inch, blue eyed, blonde haired baby boy came into the world with his family surrounding him.
