Thanks a lot to everyone who reviewed and/or has this story on favorites/alerts list!

Some of you awesome reviewers informed me that pregnant women don't start showing until, like, week 12 or so. Yes, I know this. But, pregnant women also tend to exaggerate when it comes to their 'fatness'. This exaggerating of fatness is what Bella is doing. She's saying, and thinking, that she is really really really big, when actually, she isn't that big. Also, there may be a reason for her being that big. You know, there could be, like, 5 babies in her stomach, if I chose to make her have 5 babies.

And, another thing, last chapter Alice told them to ask for anything if they needed it, like "condoms or lube". She says condoms mainly because some women don't like semen for some reason. I don't understand why, but yeah, whatever.

Chapter 15: Love

This was what I've always wanted. For Edward to realize he loves me, and that he wants to be with me. And now that I've got it, I don't know what to do or how to react. I want to kiss him passionately on the lips, and tell him yes, that I'll be his forever. But I just can't do that.

Although he just practically declared his love for me without saying it, I pushed myself out of his lap and just....went cave woman on him.

"Why! Why did you choose," I picked up a coffee mug on the coffee table, "now to make this decision? Why wait until, " His eyes widened as he saw me chuck the mug at him, and he jumped up, running behind to recliner for protection, "I'm pregnant with your child—which is meant for you and Tanya—to....to tell me you wanna be with me," I ended flatly, my anger mostly gone as I watched and heard the mug smash to pieces on the floor.

Edward slowly came out from behind the recliner, eyes flying to my hands to make sure I wasn't going to throw anything at him again. When he saw that I wasn't, he walked towards me.

"Bella, this stress isn't good for the baby. I'm sorry that I'm the cause for all of this stress. I just..," he hesitated, placing a hand on my back, leading me to the couch.

I sat down on the soft sofa, and breathed in deeply through my mouth and exhaled through my nose. Edward settled down beside me and rubbed my back soothingly, probably trying not to make me angry at him again.

"You just what, Edward? You just realized that you've been an idiot, and you want to make things better by....by abandoning Tanya and being with me?"

"No, no. I mean, maybe....," he smacked his forehead in annoyance, and ran that same hand through his marvelous rust-colored hair. "I-I really...wouldn't consider it abandoning. Because, well, we haven't been married for very long, and she isn't...pregnant. So, she wouldn't loseanything at all. Bella, I just..."

I rolled my eyes and played with my hands on my lap while looking down at them, "Is it really difficult to say something? Spit it out, or get out."

He grabbed my chin roughly, forcing me to focus on him. He then gripped onto my hands tightly as he spoke intensely yet quickly, as if he were nervous, "It is tough. To have your best friend pregnant with your child. Being in sexual relationship with that best friend. And, on top of it all, your wife is working her ass off each and every day, while thinking about whether her husband is cheating on her or not," he continued, slowly down a bit, "But, the thing is, I don't really care if she does know about it. Tanya can know, and I would still be happy while she was cussing me out and throwing crap at me. I'd still be happy...because I'd be with you, love."

Tears formed in the corners of my eyes, and I tried to overcome them. They slipped through no matter how hard I tried. I shook my head furiously as the liquid ran down my cheeks, and fell in our hands that were still on my lap.

"No, Edward. Go back to Tanya....and tell her that you love her. Make up any excuse for the panties found in the bedroom."

Those were some of the most painful words I had ever said, and I didn't exactly know why I was telling him to do this.

I guess...that I was afraid. Afraid that once we officially got together, he would, sooner or later, end up going back to Tanya. Afraid that our baby would have such a messed up life. And I didn't want either of those things to happen.

"I can't do that, Bella....," he told me, his beautiful green eyes gazing constantly into my plain brown ones. I wanted to look away from so badly, but I couldn't; he had me in a trance of some sort.

"Why! Can't you stop being so stubborn, and do what I tell you to for one time in your life?" I whispered irritatedly as he leaned closer to me, slipping an arm around my waist slowly.

"Because I do not love Tanya anymore," A soft half gasp half sob kind of thing escaped my lips as he resumed talking softly, "I once held feelings like that for her...but not anymore. Now all I see when I close my eyes, and all I can think about is you, Bella. You've been the Object of My Affection for the past twelve weeks. I think you were before you were pregnant, but I just didn't realize it. Not until I imaged our future child. The beauty it would bring us; a beauty....that hasn't ever existed. He or she...would be even more...cute than you, and...that's never happened before."

"Say it, please. I-I need...for you to say it," I begged, wrapping my arms around his neck and nuzzling my head in his shoulder.

His lips, being near my ear, tickled the delicate skin there, and I let my eyelids slide closed dreamily as he told me the most pleasurable words I'd ever heard.

"I love you. You're my best friend, the mother of my child, and you hold the very thing I'd been looking for my whole life, even though it was obviously there the whole time. You hold my heart; something not even my wife has actually touched."

Pulling back, I scanned his for any signs of lying. He had none.

"Oh....god, you have no idea....how long I've been waiting for you to say that to me. No idea," I leaned forward, pressing my lips to his eagerly once, twice, and a third time as he responded, before pulling back, "Oh, and I love you, too."

Okay, kind of shorter than the usual but eh, oh well!

Tell me what you think 'bout it, please.
