It was now October, and I was almost five months along. My pregnancy was coming along well. I was getting bigger and bigger. However, thanks to my improved muscle tone due to the change, I was all belly.

I called my mother and invited her and Phil up here for Christmas, claiming I didn't want to deal with airports and the crowds of Christmas time. I told my family Renee would take things so much better if we allowed her to figure things out on her own. Carlisle said I should invite her up here for the holidays; and we would let little things slip, so she could figure it out.

We had heard from Eleazar a few days after they returned to Italy. Apparently, the Volturi had captured the Romanians a few days before they left for America and were holding them in the castle. They planned on dealing with them when they returned from Forks; only, they never returned, but Eleazar and Carmen did instead. Come to find out the Romanians were just thrilled that Aro and Caius were destroyed. Admittedly, they were a little disappointed that they didn't see that destruction personally though. They let Eleazar know they just wanted to live in peace, but to be sure to never become like Aro for they would be watching.

We were throwing a Halloween party for the children at the hospital in a few weeks. There was so much organizing to do; we were planning little games they could play and making little treat bags for each of the children. In times like these, my ability came in handy.

"So, what are we all going to dress up as?" I asked as we were sitting around watching TV.

"Awesome! We get to wear costumes?" Emmett asked, practically jumping up and down.

"I don't know what I want to go as. What do you think Edward?" Bella asked. She had her feet in his lap and he was giving her a foot massage.

"I haven't a clue, love. We have a couple of weeks to think about it though," he replied as he rubbed her feet.

"Let me pick them out!" Emmett said, suddenly looking excited.

Edward and Bella both looked at Emmett like he had two heads. They both started laughing, and soon Bella had tears streaming down her face.

"You don't trust me; I get it! I swear though; I won't pick out anything outrageous or embarrassing.

"You had better believe that I don't trust you; I see what is going through your head right now," Edward said, shaking his head.

"Fine then! Let's wrestle for it. The winner gets to pick the other couples costumes.

Edward and Bella automatically agreed because Edward had never lost a match to Emmett; they were very confident. I just started reciting the multiplication tables in German. Edward looked at me; I just shrugged my shoulders.

"No need to give you anymore advantage than you already have, brother dear," I said sweetly.

"Hey! Don't I get a say in this; I am a part of this couple too, and I don't think I trust my new sister to pick out my costume. She would have me going as Little Bo Peep or something," Rosalie cried out.

"Don't worry babe! I have a feeling about this one," Emmett said, patting Rose on the leg.

"That what has me worried. You've said that about every match you've ever had with Edward," Rose said and pouted.

EmPOV

We all headed outside. I was going to school Edward this time; I really did have a feeling. Edward's mind reading gave him an advantage; and he always won, or it was a draw. Well, not this time because I wasn't going to let my Rosie down. Besides, if I lost this and Bella dressed her as Bo Peep, she would withhold sex for six months.

The women stayed on the patio, and Jasper came down in the yard with Edward and me to referee.

"Alright boys, let's have a clean fight today. No biting, no ripping off limbs, and no hitting below the belt," Jasper said in his best announcer voice.

We both rolled our eyes at him, and the fight began. We started circling each other; I would lunge for him, and he would always be a step ahead of me. He got me on the ground a couple of times, but I was always able to throw him off.

"Just give up now, Emmett; you know you can't beat me!" Edward taunted with an arrogant smirk.

"Over my pile of ashes," I growled out.

We circled each other a few more times. If I could just distract him, I could pin him down and win.

"Not a chance, big brother" he smirked.

Just then, Bella let out a loud gasp and started rubbing her belly. All the girls immediately surrounded her and started trying to feel the baby. Edward looked over at her, and I took my chance and lunged. I instantly had him pinned down, and Jasper declared me the winner.

"Woohoo! Thank you Bella!" I screamed as I jumped up and ran my victor's lap. Rose came running to me and jumped into my arms, celebrating with me.

Edward got up from the ground brushing the dirt and grass off his clothes scowling at me. Bella ran down to him with a worried look on her face.

"Oh baby! I am so sorry; she kicked me really hard. I couldn't help it; I am so sorry that it distracted you!" she cried out.

If I wasn't so happy to finally beat Edward, I would have felt bad for my baby sister.

"It is alright, love. It is about time he beats me after seventy years of loosing," he said as we shook hands.

"And I finally won the game that counts. You just wait until you two see what I come up with, Charlie Brown and The Great Pumpkin," I said deviously as I turned around and walked to the house with Rosie.

"Hey wait a minute! You said nothing embarrassing!" Bella yelled after me.

"Yes, I know baby sister. But we didn't clarify whose idea of embarrassment it would be. My idea of embarrassing may be totally different from yours," I winked at them as we walked in the house, leaving a very horror struck Bella.

"Oh my God, Edward, I just know he's going to make us wear something so stupid. Oh little one, you really got your mommy and daddy in a pickle," I said as we made our way back into the house.

"Don't worry, love; we'll just expect the worst and hope for the best," Edward replied, and then gently pulled on my finger to silently get my attention.

I stopped and looked at him; he motioned with his hand to let my shield down, and I did.

"Emmett forgets we both can read his mind. If we choose to, we'll see what he chooses to make us wear. If we find it to be embarrassing, we'll go to Esme; and she'll make him change it,"he thought to me.

I couldn't help but smile at how genius my husband was. We made our way into the house. Emmett and Rosalie were already up in their room looking at costumes. I knew it was cheating, but we couldn't help ourselves; I kept my shield down so Edward and I both could keep an eye on them.

It took a few days, but we finally found out what costumes we were going to get. Emmett finally stopped torturing us and told us. I have to give Em credit for having that much imagination. I was really impressed with his choices; I think they suited all of us well.

Right now the thing that was at the forefront of my mind was my next ultrasound. Carlisle told me yesterday it was time again; I was so excited. I dragged Edward out of bed this morning, so he could help me get ready. Carlisle had to work today, and I didn't want to wait until he got home.

"Bella, love, let me just hold you for a few minutes more, please," Edward begged.

"You can hold me more after the ultrasound, honey; I'm ready to see our baby again so come on get up, up, up," I told him.

"Yes ma'am," he replied back and got up to join me for a shower.

By the time I had taken a shower, dressed, ate breakfast, and drank enough water to float in, Carlisle had the machine warmed up and ready. We went into the room where he was.

"Well, good morning, you two. I take you both are ready to see your little one, so let's get started; shall we?" Carlisle said.

"I can hardly wait," I said with a giggle as Edward picked me up and set me up on the table and helped me fix my clothes and lay back.

"Alright, here we go," Carlisle said as he put the cold gel on my stomach.

He moved the transducer around spreading the gel, then began pressing down. Edward and I looked at the screen, and there was our little girl. She was sucking her thumb and was just all sprawled out for us. It was cute, but I could see the look on Edward's face as Emmett thought how that might be an indicator of what her teenage years might be like.

"Emmett, that is my daughter, and she will NOT be like that. She will be a lady, or she'll not leave the house until she's fifty; am I clear on that?" Edward said, practically growling.

"Come on, baby girl, show uncle Em what a little lady you are and close your legs," Edward told her.

If I hadn't seen it for myself, I wouldn't have believed it. She closed her legs and rolled over so her back was to the screen; the whole room burst into laughter. Edward looked so smug; it wasn't even funny.

"Now Em, what do you say about that?" Edward asked.

"That was just a fluke, a coincidence, nothing more," Emmett claimed.

"No, that just goes to show you that she is going to be a little lady like I said," Edward claimed.

We all laughed while Carlisle printed out pictures, and Edward helped me clean up and get my clothes fixed.

"Well everyone, I hate to leave such great company, but I must head off to work. I love you all, and I'll see you when I get home," Carlisle said.

He gave Edward and me our pictures and kissed Esme goodbye, then he was gone. The rest of the day was going to be busy for all of us. The guys were finished down at the station; but since Charlie had been spreading the word about their good work, several different ones in town had hired them to work as well. So after Edward saw to it I was set for the day, the three of them headed out to work too. All of us girls gathered around the dining room table to discuss the Halloween party. Esme had a meeting with a potential client to go to, so she was getting ready to leave as well.

She had rented an empty building downtown to base the business out of because she didn't want our home life disturbed by having clients in and out all the time. And the way their business was picking up, it would have been a constant thing. My family was good at what they did.

Could my life get any worse? For the next week, I was going to have to endure Edward Cullen every day while he and his brothers added a small room onto our house for my mother's crafts. She had seen what a good job they had done on the Crowley's kitchen remodel; she just HAD to have them do it! It made me sick. Do they have to be perfect at everything? Perfect looks, perfect house, and perfect money...Perfect Bella!

Yeah, I know; I am jealous, but I saw her first. I helped her out her first couple of days. I befriended her and took her back in after she snapped out of her coma caused by that jerk leaving her last year. Then, she had the nerve to take him back, marry him, and get pregnant with his baby! That should have been me.

I heard the doorbell ring, and now began my week of Hell.

EPOV

We walked up to the Newton's house. I had been given strict instructions by my mother to be polite and not let Mike get to me. He may think vile things, but none of them would ever come true.

"Edward, Emmett, Jasper! I am so excited to get this started. I have heard from all my friends how fast and good you boys are," she giggled nervously.

"Oh goodness! Did that sound as perverted as I think it did? I certainly don't want to be like Lauren and Jessica and embarrass myself," she thought to herself.

She thought we were incredibly good looking, but she loved her husband and wouldn't try to seduce us by lying out back in a barely there bikini. Yeah, we had to endure that from Mrs. Crowley last week. We installed a huge picture window as part of their remodel, which was where she decided to lay out. She claimed she was just going to sunbathe. But considering the sky was completely overcast, and she was under a shade tree; she really didn't think she was fooling us. After two hours of us completely ignoring her, she finally came back inside and disappeared into her bedroom and sulked until her husband came home.

"We haven't had any complaints yet Mrs. N!" Emmett said, grinning at her.

The poor woman blushed.

"Those Cullen women sure are lucky," she thought.

Mrs. Newton really was sweet. I don't know what happened to Mike. Speaking of Mike, here appeared the douche now and scowling I might add. I just smirked at him.

"Hello Mike, how is your summer going?" I asked him, trying to be polite like Esme asked me.

"Fine," he replied.

You could tell he didn't like me and my brothers being here by his clipped answer to my question.

"How is your summer going?" he asked after a stern look from his mother.

"It is good Mike. Bella and I couldn't be happier; she and the baby are doing great," I said; I couldn't resist rubbing the salt in his wounds. His frown grew at the mention of Bella.

Mrs. Newton had Mike take us around back; he grudgingly walked out the front door.

"Aaarg, I hate him! 'Bella and I couldn't be happier; she and the baby are doing great,'" he mocked me in his thoughts.

"This is going to be great Edward. He is so jealous of you, even I can feel it," Emmett chuckled.

"The hate and jealousy rolling off of him is going to make a very stressful work environment," Jasper was thinking, looking around uncomfortably.

"Yeah, well, I'm glad Bella is doing well. She looks good. I saw her the other day at the Thriftway," he said once we reached the back, away from his mother.

"Oh yea, she looked good. I'd still do her pregnant and all," he thought. I had to take a deep breath to keep my anger down.

"Good job, Edward. Don't let him get to you. He is just a stupid human boy that Bella never gave the time of day to," Jasper reminded me.

"I agree, Mike, she does look good. Pregnancy suits my wife very much," I said, he winced at the words, my wife.

"That arrogant, cocky... He knows I like Bella. He is just rubbing all that in my face. I know if it hadn't been for him, I would have had her," he thought.

"When did you say you saw her? I am asking because she never mentioned that she saw you to me," I asked trying to put a little jealousy in my voice. He fell for it!

"That's right, be jealous. Two can play at this game, buddy! He doesn't know I never saw her!" he thought gleefully at getting to me.

"Well, if Bella didn't tell you, then it isn't my place to break that confidence," he said with an arrogant smirk.

You had better watch it Newton, don't take this game too far and try and besmirch my wife's name. I thought to myself. He must have seen the evil glint in my eyes because he coughed uncomfortably and backed up a little, but then the idiot went on.

"Yeah, she was talking to me about married life and her pregnancy. I guess things she doesn't feel comfortable talking to you about. She had a lot to get off her chest," he said like he was a saint for doing that for her.

"Oh really? And what did she say that she couldn't possible say to me, her husband?" I asked getting irritated now. But Mike was so caught up in his story telling, he didn't even notice.

"Watch it brother. He is just blowing hot air. You know it; we all know it. Don't let him get to you," Jasper pleaded and sent a wave of calm over to me. I sent him a grateful smile.

"Don't blow a gasket, Edward. When Eleazar said we could reveal ourselves to trustworthy humans, I don't think Newton was what he had in mind," Emmett thought. He even looked uncomfortable. I had to get myself under control.

"I have to say again; if Bella didn't tell you herself, then I won't betray her," he said.

I have had enough of this!

"You know what, Mike. I know you're lying," I said, with no preamble.

"W-w-what? Excuse me? Did you just accuse me of lying?" he asked acting offended.

"Oops, I may have taken this too far," Mike thought; and I heard his heart accelerate, and he started sweating.

Ya think?

"You heard me correctly, Newton. For one thing, I know for a fact Bella only went to the Thriftway one time last week; and I was with her. So she didn't see you and have this imaginary conversation. Secondly, she wouldn't keep that from me. We tell each other everything. Thirdly, there is NOTHING she can't or won't tell me. We are married and in love. Get over it. She chose me; she said yes to me, when she never did to you. Even when we were apart, she never said yes to you," I said quietly, so I wouldn't attract his mother's attention. Then, I got up and walked over to him and got right in his face.

"And if you EVER try to come between me and my wife again, you will regret it," I said deadly quiet. I barely tapped him in the chest, but he still went stumbling backwards.

His face was white as a sheet; and he went running back in the house, slamming and locking the doors. His mother was wondering why he was making so much noise. She was in the laundry room, thank goodness. I would hate for her to find out what her son was up to.

"That was epic, my bother. I don't think you will have to worry about him any time soon," Emmett chuckled.

"I can feel the fear still emanating off him from his room," Jasper said, laughing.

"He is crazy, but mom won't believe me if I tell her. She thinks the Cullen boys are wonderful and such gentlemen," he thought.

Mike Newton didn't come out of his room for the rest of the day. It actually turned out to be a great day! I got to see my baby girl. She showed Uncle Emmett what a lady she could be, and I got to tell off Mike Newton. What a great day I thought, as we got in the truck we bought for construction purposes and headed home.
