Remember you all love me while you read this fic.

Exciting news to announce...ARDOR, my first original work to be published, now has a release date! This novella will be available for purchase on 7/23/2013 and I am so excited. Seriously, this is a dream come true of mine and to have it almost accomplished...no words can describe how it feels!

Edward's POV

Chapter 8

The sound of our bedroom door slamming snapped me out of my trance and into action. My body wanted to carry me up those stairs and into her arms – to forget everything that had just happened a few minutes ago and make us right, but the envelope glaring at me from the table wouldn't let me budge.

My mind and heart ran the gamut of emotions while so many scenarios ran through my thoughts.

Did something happen at her job? Was she fired?

Had something happened to my parents? No, that can't be as they would have contacted us at the new high-rise we were building.

That's when a thought that terrified me entered my mind.

Was Bella sick?

Before I could drive myself insane with doubts I tore through that taunting envelope. It was a letter containing results to blood work she had done recently. I read through each line five times trying to understand what it all meant: the words positive and pregnancy screaming at me from all angles.

How could she?

Thanks to everyone who has read the first chapter and decided to continue on this journey with me…you guys are amazing! I was nom'd for TLS fic of the week and to the person(s) who did this THANK YOU!
