How Did I Fall In Love With You

Chapter 26

Bella's POV

Today was the day, I've been dragging for a while. The day Edward leaves for New York to attend the doctors convention. I'm so happy for him, but I hated being away from him, even if it was only for a week. Edward invited me to go with him, but I still haven't recovered from recent stomach flu, and he was afraid that it would become worse if I came with him. I couldn't even imagine the fact of Edward being away from me even if it was a short amount of time. I would miss him terribly.

"Goodbye Edward. Be safe and have a nice trip, my son." Esme told him.

"don't worry mom, I will." he promised.

"have a safe trip Edward." Carlisle said.

He nodded and gave his mother and father a quick hug.

"have fun Edward and be safe. Oh and don't forget to get me some presents! I want you to get me these shoes that I have to have! I'll send you the picture okay?" Alice bubbly exclaimed.

"ha ha don't worry Alice I wont forget about you." he smiled and Alice hugged him gently.

"Brother! Just be safe and get me something special as well." Emmett smiled brother hugged him.

Edward saved me for last seeing that it was both hard for the both of us. Ever since we met each other, we were hardly separated and we were both so used to see each other every single day. I tried to hold back the tears that were forming in my eyes, but they slipped down my face.

"Bella, don't cry. I'll be home soon." he promised pulling me into a tight embrace.

"I know I'm just going to miss you a lot." I whispered.

"I know I'm going to miss you too. But remember that I love you."

"I love you too."

He pulled away and kissed me passionately. I wanted to hold him and have him here with me, but I knew I had to let him go even if it hurts. I'm going to miss him but he was doing this for us.

"I have to go." Edward whispered and he gently rested his head onto my forehead and I closed my eyes trying to enjoy the last moments I had with him.

"okay, be safe. And remember I love you."

"I love you too. Take care." and with that he gave me one last hug and he went to the plane entrance.

I couldn't take my eyes away from him, and I didn't know that it hurt this much to see him leave me even if it was for a business trip.

"oh Bella, its going to be alright. Its only for a week, he'll be here back with us before you know it." Alice said trying to lighten up my mood.

I took a really long deep breathe and faced her.

"yeah your right. I'll be okay Alice don't worry about me." I assured her.

"okay come on lets go get some thing to eat girls." Esme told us smiling.

We ended up at this five star restaurant that I thought was too fancy for a quick lunch. The restaurant wasn't that over packed but you could tell that it was pretty popular. I took the seat that was across from Esme and Carlisle and in the middle of Emmett and Alice.

"mhmm, I heard that their steak was really good here. What do you think Bells?" Alice asked.

"umm.. Sure Alice whatever you say." I told her agreeing with her.

"do you want me to order for you Bella?"

"yeah sure Alice. I'm kind of lost in the menu."

She chuckled lightly and so did Emmett. Dinner flew by fast and before I knew it we were home, going our separate ways for the night. Carlisle and Esme mentioning that they were going to bed early for their meeting tomorrow, Alice invited Jasper over so they could watch this new scary movie they rented and Emmett ate so much that he just past out fast.

So I was left alone in my room. I didn't feel like spending so much time with the family tonight so I just took a really warm bubble bath to hopefully occupy my mind of Edward but that seemed impossible. I tried to keep my mind away from everything that was Edward but that didn't seem to work. After my warm bath I laid down on my bed tried to sleep, but soon gave up after a few minuets of silence and boredom. I didn't realize how the house and bed seemed so empty and lonely with out Edward. It was weird to see how it changed without him around.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

I picked up my cell phone from the night stand and looked at the caller. After seeing who it was I flipped it forcefully open and pressed the button as fast as I could.

"Hello?" I answered.

"hi, love." Edwards warm honey tone filled my ears.

"hi, how's it there in New York?" I asked.

"well its cold and defiantly bigger than Forks."

"yeah, I'm sure your not used to the big city." I lightly chuckled.

"yeah, Bella are you sure your alright? You seem like your sad about something really big."

"no, I'm fine. Really. Edward you don't have to worry about me."

"I cant help it. And don't lie to me, Bella. I know you to well and your really upset about something. Come on baby tell me." he pleaded.

"I just miss you a lot. that's it."

He sighed onto the phone, loud enough for me to hear it.

"I miss you too, more than you will ever know." he admitted.

"I know and it hurts to be away from you." I replied.

"yeah I understand, but I'm not doing this for me. I'm doing this for us bells. I want to be able to give you a life that you could be proud of. I want nothing but the best for you, baby."

"I know but I miss you."

"I miss you too. Bella, I'm sorry baby, but I'm going to have to call you back tomorrow. Its getting pretty late here and I have a long day tomorrow."

"its okay, I understand."

"goodnight love. And always remember that I love you with all my heart."

"I love you too. So much." and with that I shut the phone closed and laid my head gently down the pillow. I took a really deep breath. It was hard being away from him, even if it was only for a few days.

I woke up with the strange feeling in my stomach again. I sat up straight from being in a sleeping position, and tried to breathe as gently as I could without upsetting my stomach. But unfortunately, even that didn't help it because I sprinted towards the bathroom and into the toilet.

I let out the remains of what was in my stomach down, and I tried to breathe more carefully this time. This was defiantly getting weirder and weirder as days went on. Every morning I have had the routine of going to the bathroom and taking my daily visit to the toilet. Ever since that my head has become more sensitive than ever, and at any moment a headache could trigger. I have been getting the strangest cravings and I've been eating a lot more than usual. I have no idea what's happening to me. What is happening to me?

When I finally had enough energy to get out of the position I was in, I gently got to sink and sprinkled my face with the cold water. Mhmm… that felt good and it was starting to relax me.

Knock! Knock!

Hmmm… wonder who that could be?

Alice magically appeared into the room and went straight to the bathroom.

"hey Bells. You alright?" she asked in her high pitched voice.

"yup, just dandy." I replied sarcastically.

"hmm, well you don't look like it. You seem a little sick. Are you sure your good?"

"yeah, positive."

"oh okay well I just came here to ask you if you wanted to go to the store with me today? And before you freak out and run away, I didn't mean the mall silly. I was thinking we stay in today, grab some junk food and rent some girly movies. What do you think?" she asked, getting all excited with today's plans.

To be honest, I wasn't really in the mood to go out and socialize with the world, so I loved Alice's idea of just staying in the house today.

"that would be great. I've been tired lately and I've just wanted to stay in today." I gave her a weak smile.

"okay, so go and get ready. We'll go to the store in about an hour!" Alice happily skipped away with such grace, that I lightly chuckled at her enthusiasm. Alice will be Alice.

I dressed in plane blue skinny jeans and a white tank top with a gray jacket over the top. Matched with black boots that Alice surprisingly got me, and a small necklace as an accessory. I decided to go all natural today, with no make up on and let my brown hair flow down naturally. There was no point in dressing up since we were only staying in the house for most of the day, and we were just going to the store not a runway. Edward always did say that I was always beautiful the way I was and make up didn't do its justice I smiled at that thought. Oh how I miss him.

Alice's head peaked out of my door and pulled me out of my trace. She giggled at the sight of me, knowing that I was imagining Edward.

"okay, princess lets go. You'll be with your prince soon enough." she told me while pulling my arm to her yellow Porsche.

"ha ha very funny Alice."

We drove for about ten minutes until we got to a drug store called Walgreens. Alice got a shopping cart for herself, knowing that she would defiantly need it. I followed Alice like a lost puppy when she immediately went to the ice cream isles.

"so Alice, anything in your list your going to get that you need help getting?" I asked her.

"umm not really, I just really need to get some tampons and pads. I just started today and I'm almost out! Bells do you need any, cause we can pick some up. that's no problem."

That's when it hit me.

I didn't realize that I was late in my period. I certainly not realize that I ever did get my period when me and Edward started to get active. That would explain all the sickness in the morning, the weird cravings, and getting all emotional when Edward left for New York.

"Bella is everything alright?" Alice asked in her serious tone.

"No, its not. Alice, I think I might be pregnant."

"WHAT? OMG! WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?" Alice getting all excited that I may be having the newest Cullen member. She started bouncing up and down with so much enthusiasm and excitement that all the other customers were starting to stare at us.

I was still in a state of shock, that there was a possibility that I could be pregnant.

"ok we have to get a test ASAP!" she quickly forgot about the ice cream and went straight to the isle where all the feminine products were stored.

"hmm what test to buy? Bells, do you want one that has a smiley symbol on it, or the one that has just the basic line? Or what about the one with the different colors and this one that has the one with the word pregnant on it?" Alice showed me the boxes that she was explaining to me, and to be honest I was a little overwhelmed with all of this.

I had no experience with babies and defiantly no experience in being a mom. Being an only child made it impossible for me to even change a diaper, so how will I ever take care of a child? Sure I have tried the babysitting business in the past, but that didn't work out to well for me. The sound of babies and toddlers crying just created a big headache for me.

"whatever you think is best Alice. You probably know more about this stuff than I do." I honestly answered her.

"okay. I guess will get all of them then." she tossed the boxes in the cart and continued to push the cart around the store.

"oh, lets get you some Sunny D too. Your going to be needing a lot of that." she playfully joked and flashed me her pearly white teeth.

Oh god, this was going to be a long day.

After what it seems like a lifetime in the drug store. Well, maybe we were there for twenty minuets tops, but to me it seemed that time was dragging. It was probably the nervousness that was building inside me trying to finally figure out if I was pregnant or not.

Alice effortlessly parked her beloved Porsche in the Cullen garage and I helped her with the bags from the shopping. We had to at least take to trips each to get all the things settled in the kitchen. Even though we went to the neighborhood dug store, to Alice shopping was shopping and there was no possible way to stop her.

I quickly looked for the bag full of tests, before anyone in the house could see. I was scared and nervous, but I knew I had to get an answer.

"Hey Bella, you know I'm here for you right? If you want me to be there while you take it I can. It wont be a problem." Alice assured me.

"Thanks Allie, but I think I have to do this on my own." I gave her an assuring smile and went straight to the room Edward and I shared with a bag full of tests in my hand.

I took one more deep breathe before I ripped up the first box that my hands came in contact with, and carefully read the instructions.
