My Name Is not Stephenie Meyer,
So obviously I don't own Twilight.
Unfortunately.
Edward POV
"Hi You've reached Bella. I'm unable to answer your call, but leave me a message and I'll get back to you."
'BEEP'
"Um, hey baby it's me. Just wanted to see when you got home so I could come get Edella, Call me back ok. Love you bye."
It had been 3 weeks since Bella and my date. Everything was perfect. Until last week. I could feel her distancing herself from me. We had spoken on the phone every day since the night of our date and now I was lucky if I talked to her twice this week. Hour long conversations had turned into 5minute calls. She stopped inviting me over or would ask me to take Edella for dinner but not come along with us. I was waiting for Bella to call me so I could go pick up Edella for my weekend and talk to Bella and see what was going on. I couldn't help but think she was trying to leave me again. And it scared me beyond explanation. I couldn't live without her again.
I picked up my phone and dialed Bella's number again.
Voicemail. Damnit.
"Bella it's me again. It's going on six so I'm just going to head-"
"Daddy!" I heard Edella squeal behind me and grab my leg.
"Hey sunshine, how'd you get here?" I asked as I ended the call. I quickly grabbed Edella's hand and rushed to the living room so I could try to talk to Bella.
"Auntie Ali." Edella smiled widely at me.
I walked into the living room and low and behold there was my sister talking to my parents.
"Alice, why did you bring Edella? I'm supposed to pick her up from Bella's. Where is Bella?" I asked concerned.
"Relax Edward, Bella ran late at work and I was at the office visiting Jasper so she asked me to pick Edella up and drop her off." Alice half smiled. "She said she'll try to call you later tonight. If not she'll see you for Edella's Birthday Party Tomorrow!" Alice squealed as her and my daughter jumped around in a circle.
What the heck was going on with Bella. I was becoming worried.
"Hey Monk. Want to head to the diner with daddy?" I asked my daughter.
"Shore" Edella smiled.
We headed to the diner, I knew I had to get some questions answered honestly. As much as I hated questioning my baby, I knew if anyone would be honest it would be her.
I took Edella out of her car seat and we headed into the diner. Edella picked us out a booth in the back of the diner and I settled her in. I was looking through the menu planning how I was going to ask my questions until Edella found some company.
"Ma'ama, Paw Paw. Wook over heow." Edella called to her grandparents walking into the diner. Renee smiled awkwardly while Charlie snickered as they made their way over. Fantastic, I get to talk to the people who hate me the most.
"Oh, my El!" Renee cooed as she grabbed Edella in a hug. Could they shorten my daughters name any more?
"Charlie, Renee" I greeted with a nod of the head and a smile.
"Hi Edward." Renee smiled.
"Edward" Charlie nodded.
"Paw paw did you eat shumting shour?" Edella asked Charlie.
"No pumpkin, why?" Charlie asked confused.
"Cuz u made da shour face mommy does when u talkded to daddy." Edella giggled and to be honest I did too. I loved my kid.
"Well um, we are just picking up some to go boxes so we're heading out." Renee smiled.
I knew this feud had gone on too long. So I took the first step.
"Renee, Charlie, tomorrow we're having a small birthday party for Edella at my parents house. You guys are more than welcome to come. I'm sure Edella would love it. Bella's heading over also maybe you could ride up with her." I smiled.
"Oh Yesh!" Edella sang. "Peez Paw Paw!" she smiled.
"We'll talk to Bella. Thank you Edward." Renee smiled as her and Charlie kissed Edella goodbye. Well they couldn't say I never tried. After they left I knew it was time to see what was up with Bella.
"Edella honey, how's mommy been?" I asked my daughter.
"Okay." she said emotionless as she colored her paper.
"Has she been happy?" I asked my girl.
"Yesh, but she's been sicky." my daughter said innocently.
Eureka!
"Sick, what do you mean baby?" I asked cooly.
"She no go too wurk today. Her tummy hurtded her."
So my sister lied. What the hell is going on?
"Daddy can we go getting ice cweam?" Edella asked before I had a chance to question her anymore.
"Sure sugar." I said as I paid for our dinner. I picked her up some Dairy Queen and headed back to my parents house.
"Daddy when do we move into yo apartamanent." my daughter asked.
"You mean apartment sugar? Probably in two weeks." I smiled as we settled into my bed. I loved this kid and was hoping the apartment would only be temporary until I could move in with my family and buy a house. If only my love wasn't ignoring me.
I waited till Edella drifted to sleep and pulled my cell phone off the side table drawer.
"Hi." Bella said sleepily on the third ring.
"Well it's about time baby, where have you been all day? I've been trying to call you."
"Sorry I ran late at the office and came home and fell asleep. How are you? How's Edella?" Lies.
"I'm good, Edella's good just fell asleep. How bout you, Edella said you weren't feeling good."
"I, uh, um, I'm ok. Yea." she stuttered. "I gotta go Edward, I'll see you tomorrow." she said sadly.
"Uh, ok. Love you. Bye."
"You two bye."
Did I miss something?
Something was not right, not right at all.
"Daddddddyyyyy!"
"Daddddd!"
"DADDDDYYY EDWURD!" Edella Squealed.
"Hmm, Huh, yes honey?" I asked sleepily.
"It's my burfday wake ups!" she sang.
"Ok, I'm up." I chuckled as I rubbed my face.
I took a shower while my mother got my princess ready for her party. I threw on a pair of khaki shorts and a baby blue polo and a pair of khaki flip flops and ran my gelled fingers through my hair. This'll do.
I went down stairs and came across my pretty girl. She had on a pink sundress with a pair of white sandals. Alice had curled her copper ringlets and clipped half of them up. Her eyes were a brown hazel today. She looked just like her mom. I kissed her cheek and told her how beautiful she looked and left her to her breakfast of sausage and pancakes fit for a princess.
"Alice can I speak to you a minute." I called my sister to the living room.
"Whatsup Edward?" she asked curious.
"I know you're lying, tell me what's wrong with Bella." I pushed.
"What are you talking about?" she played confused.
"Edella told me Bella didn't go to work yesterday so what's going on?"
Alice sighed. "Ask your girlfriend. I'm not getting in the middle again." she said as she walked out of the living room leaving me annoyed.
I helped my mother ready the house and set up the bounce house and pool for Edella's neighborhood friends and friends from school. I set out the finger foods and set the tables. I kept watching the door waiting for Bella to show.
She finally showed up at 1:30, with Alice following behind. I was fine with Alice floating around her, it was the next person that made me raise my eyebrow. Rosalie was trekking behind with hands full of bags. What the hell?
"Toots!" Bella squealed as she enveloped Edella in her arms. "Happy Birthday baby! I missed you sooo much!" she smiled as she peppered kisses all over Edella's face.
"I mished you mommy, did you bing my cake?"
"Oh yea! Princesses and all!" Bella smiled as she pulled Edella into the kitchen. She stopped by me and kissed my cheek softly. "Hi Edward." she smiled sheepishly as she walked away. I was starting to worry more and more. This was 5 steps back then where we were just 3 weeks ago.
Edella's friends arrived and they played in the pool and the bounce house. Then Edella opened her gifts. My parents gave her Jewelry a necklace with her initials in the back and the Cullen crest on the front and a pair of pink diamond earrings. I gave her a princess jeep like 'Mommies' and Alice brought her so many clothes she would probably need a new closet.
Em and Rose brought Edella some Hannah Montana movies and a Hannah Dress up set. Bella brought her a Princess play house that she would set up in her backyard it was shaped like Cinderella's castle and she smiled at Jasper and Emmett when they said they would set it up the following weekend. Why didn't Bella ask me? What the fuck?
Cake time came and Rose carried it out while Bella followed behind with candles and ice cream. The cake had all the Disney princesses on it and a castle shaped candle with a number 4 next to it. We sang to Edella and she blew out her candles. I kept trying to make eye contact with Bella but every time I looked at her she would look away. I was getting fed up and ready to snap.
Charlie and Renee surprisingly popped up while we were eating cake and stayed for an hour. They played with Edella and gave her the coloring books and clothes they purchased for her. They came over to me and thanked me for the invite. I was surprised to actually see a smile out of Charlie, but I accepted the gratitude and walked them out with Edella on my hip. I set her down to go play in the bounce house with her few remaining friends and set off to find Bella.
I looked on the first floor but couldn't find her anywhere. I made my way up too the second stairs and made my way towards my room. No one there. I listened for a minute and heard noises coming from Alice's room. I tiptoed across the floor.
"Rose I can't, I just can't." Bella cried.
"It's for the best Bella." Rose said reassuringly.
OK what the fuck is going on and when did these two become best friends?
I threw the door open and barged in. Rose was sitting on the bed with Bella enveloped in her arms crying.
"Rose out, I need to speak to Isabella now." I said sternly. Rose looked to Bella for reassurance and Bella gave a weak nod.
"What is going on Bella? You've been giving me the cold shoulder for the past week. Am I missing something? Is there someone else? Do you not want me anymore? Your best friends with Rose now? And all these lies! I need some answers Isabella and I need them now." I demanded.
Bella looked at me lost for a minute and I could see her lip trembling as she readied herself for the blow she was about to deliver. I couldn't help but feel the feeling of defeat. I was about to loose her for good.
"Maybe you should sit down." she croaked.
"I don't need to fucking sit down just get it over with please. I can't take it anymore." I said in a shaken voice.
"Edward!" she cried. "I'm pregnant, again! I'm so sorry!" she wept.
Bella POV
To say my life has been perfect these last 2 weeks would be an understatement. Edward and I were better then we had ever been. Even while married. I had learned so much about him. His likes, dislikes, wants and goals. He was a totally different man and the same man in one. He had stepped up his role as daddy in Edella's life and they were head over heels for each other. We all had so much love and devotion for each other. It was amazing. We would make it. I knew it.
I had been feeling queasy these past few days. I was convinced it was food poisoning. Edward had taken Ella and I to a Japanese steakhouse in Port Angeles on Friday and I ate some of their sushi and was paying for it Saturday and Sunday and today at work.
I was locked in the bathroom heaving into the toilet when I heard a knock at the door.
"Bells are you ok?" Alice asked worried. Great, the worry wart is here to annoy me.
"Yea Alice." I groaned.
"Bells open up I got some tums." she yelled through the door.
I moaned as I quickly unlocked the door and turned back to the toilet. She leaned down and pulled my hair back into a bun and wet a paper towel and held it up against my forehead.
"Bella, you look horrible. You need to go home." she said worried.
"I'm fine it's just food poisoning." I said annoyed as I dry heaved over the toilet.
"What's going on?" Rose said as she entered the bathroom.
"What are you doing here?" I grumbled.
"Meeting Alice up for pedicures. She had lunch with Jasper." Rose said sadly.
"Sorry didn't mean to sound like a bitch." I said as I stood from the toilet.
"No, it's fine. Let me drive you home though and Alice can follow in your car." Rose said awkwardly.
"No, I can't leave I have to work, but thank you though." I smiled as I cleaned off my face and washed my mouth.
"Bella no, Jasper said it's fine he'll cover for you. We are taking you home." Alice pushed as she grabbed my arm and led me out of the bathroom. They gathered up my things and I got into Rose's car as Alice drove mine.
"So what do you think it is?" Rose asked genuinely.
"Food poisoning." I said as I stuck my head out the window to breathe in fresh air.
"Did you eat something bad today?" Rose asked.
"No Friday."
"Food poisoning wouldn't have you throwing up like that 3 days after." Rose said as she pulled up to a drug store.
"What are you doing?" I mumbled.
"Picking up some ginger ale, tums, pepto, and a pregnancy test." she said as she got out of the car.
"Wait what was that?"
"Pepto." "No the other one." "Tums?" "Nope the other one." "Pregnancy Test?" "Bingo, Why would you buy that Rosalie?"
"Because it sounds like morning sickness." she said as she looked at me sadly.
"It's not!" I said angrily.
"Well just incase, I'll buy one," she said as she shut the door behind her.
Nosey bitch. How would she know. She doesn't know my body, and she's never been pregnant. I instantly felt bad for thinking that way towards Rose. I guess deep down I couldn't deny I was starting to like her. As much as I didn't want to. She was actually worried about me.
We got home and after Rosalie filling Alice in on her assumption and me putting up a fight. They finally talked me into taking the damn test just to shut them up. I peed on the damn stick and sat on my bed as the girls looked at me nervously.
"I'm not!" I said as I looked at them hard.
Alice half smiled at me. "If you're so sure then go check the test. It's already been two minutes past the timer."
If I was being honest with myself I knew there was a slight chance. I hadn't been on birth control for 5months and I hadn't had my period in 3 months and I'm usually always regular. I thought maybe my cycle was changing or I was under a lot of stress.
I trudged into the bathroom and gripped the test. I brought it to my eye level and closed my eyes. What if its positive. How will I deal with this again? Will Edward be able to?
I slowly opened one of my eyes and peaked at the test. Two lines. I popped my other eye open. Two lines, is that bad or good?
"What's two lines mean?" I yelled to Rose and Alice.
I heard paper rumbling and an 'Oh My Gosh' and then I blacked out.
"Bella!" I heard Alice faintly
"Huh?" I grumbled as I raised my head from my bed. "What happened?"
"You passed out."
"I'm pregnant?" I asked as tears filled my eyes.
"So the test says." Rosalie said wearily.
"I can't do this again! What Am I, Fertile Mertile!" I cried. "Edward is gonna hate me!"
"Shhh, no he won't, we'll schedule you a doctor's appointment to know for sure." Alice said as she rubbed circles in my back.
Two days later Alice and I were heading to Dr. Stubbs office while Rose watched Ella. I figured I was only maybe 3 or 4 weeks along. The doctor informed me I was almost three months along and I almost shit my pants. This means the night I took advantage of Edward I also got knocked up.
I left Dr. Stubbs office in a trance. I finally broke down in Alice's car and told her everything. She looked as if she could cry with me also. She wasn't angry at me, just understood how I felt.
The rest of the week I didn't know what to do. I couldn't face Edward and tell him what was going on. I knew he'd hate me and see that I hadn't changed and royally screwed things up again and then he wouldn't want to be with me ever again.
I couldn't risk losing him.
So I figured the longer I wait and distance myself the better I will feel when I have to let him go. I missed work on Friday because I was feeling extra sick. Rose was helping me out a lot with Ella being that I couldn't give her all my attention while I was head down in the toilet.
Alice picked Ella up at my house and dropped her off to Edward. I knew I was being a pussy and needed to face my demons head on but I was just so scared. I ignored Edward's phone call all day Friday and laid in bed wanting to talk to him so bad.
He called me at 11pm and I had to just hear his voice. Things started to get awkward so I cut him off quickly. I knew I had to face him in the morning for Ella's birthday. And that was making me more nervous than anything else.
I avoided him as much as possible through the party I gave him a kiss hello and that was the most we talked. I stayed away from his gaze and worried looks. This wasn't the time to tell him. It was our daughters birthday.
I was feeling sick and snuck upstairs to Alice's bathroom. After heaving I laid in Alice's bed for a few minutes when Rose found me. After her questioning how I was feeling and asking if I was going to tell Edward, I heard the door get thrown open and there stood Edward, LIVID! I knew it was time to lay it all out on the table and to see how he took it. I couldn't help but believe this would be the beginning of our end, for good.
I finally cut him off from his angry rambling.
"Edward! I'm pregnant, AGAIN! I'm so sorry!"
Edward POV
I looked at her lost for a second. I wasn't angry, I wasn't even disappointed, I was…Happy. This was our chance to get it right. Not that Edella was wrong, just the way we handled it. So why was she crying.
"Hey, look at me honey, why are you crying this isn't bad. This is our second chance. We can get it right this time." I said as I cradled her face between my hands.
"No we can't this isn't right! We're divorced, just dating again, and we shouldn't have had sex. It was wrong that time." she cried.
I looked at her confused.
"That baby was made out of love, that time was perfect, and how can you say this is wrong. You're right for me. We're made for each other." I pleaded.
"It wasn't made out of love Edward. I'm almost 3 months. This baby was made when I used you." she cried. "I'm such a horrible person."
"No, no, no!" I cooed as I enveloped her in my arms. "It was made out of love. I loved you then too. I never stopped. This baby was made out of so much love." I said as I kissed her cheek. "Please don't be sad baby. This wasn't planned but it's right, so right." I said as I kissed her neck.
"Edward, I'm sorry I shut you out. I just don't know how to handle this. It feels like déjà vu. Why can't we get it right?" she cried.
"This is right! I love you more than ever. And ok it wasn't planned but I know we are meant to be. I can't live without you again, or Edella, and this child will have their father there for them 100%. Can't you see things are different?" I asked her as I looked deep into her eyes.
"Yes, so much. I'm sorry I just freaked out." she sniffled. "I Love you so much, I do." she said as she snuggled her head into my neck.
"Don't shut me out. Please.!" I cried.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I always get this wrong!"
"No, you don't just please don't leave me this time. I'm here I promise. For good." I said.
"I promise. No leaving this time. We need to get this right though Edward." Bella said as she wiped her eyes.
"You're right." I said as I sat her on the bed. "I'll be right back."
I ran to my bedroom and opened my sock drawer I searched my hands all through the drawer until I came across my destination. I pulled the box from the drawer and flipped it open. There was her engagement ring and wedding ring she handed back to me with the divorce papers. I slipped the engagement ring from the box and put the box back into the drawer. I ran back to Alice's room and came across perfection.
Bella was in the middle of the bed with our daughter in her lap leaned against her chest. And Bella was running her hands through Edella's hair and humming too her. She looked up at me with her classy eyes.
"You're back." she smiled.
"I'll always come back." I said as I kissed her on the cheek and then my angel.
"Lub you daddy." Edella smiled.
"I love both of you so much." I smiled.
Bella smiled widely at me.
I bent down on one knee and tears filled Bella's eyes.
"Edward." she said as she threw her hand over her mouth. I grabbed her hand from her mouth and held it in mine.
"Isabella Swan, I promise to love you every moment of forever. Will you marry me?"
"Yesh!" Edella squealed as I pulled the ring from my pocket. "Shay yesh mommy." she whispered in Bella's ear.
"Of course yes. Always yes." Bella cried. She looked at the ring in my hand. "You kept it, after all these years you kept it?" she cried.
"I never stopped believing baby, never." I said as I enveloped my girls in a hug.
"I love you." she said as she kissed my lips and Edella's cheek.
"We're gonna do this right," I said as I looked at her reassuringly.
"I've made a mess of figuring this out, we definitely need to do it right. Responsibly. And It'll tie us all in every way possible." Bella smiled.
"Starting with another wedding." I chuckled.
"Actually something more difficult first, maybe even dangerous." she smiled wickedly. "We'll have to tell Charlie." she smiled.
I grimaced. "Extremely Dangerous,"
"You have a bulletproof vest, right?" she giggled. "I'll be needing that ring now." She laughed as she pulled my hand up to her lips with the ring in it and kissed my hand. I laughed as I slid the ring onto her ring finger.
"Perfect." I smiled as the ring slid right back into place.
"Yes we are." she smiled as Edella giggled.
And she was right. We were.
Perfect.
