Chapter Seventeen: The Joys of Pregnancy
WARNING: If anyone watches the TV Show Grey's Anatomy, and hasn't seen the Season 8 Finale (Which is the plane crash), you may want to skip a part. I will warn you before! =P
I do not own Twilight, or Grey's Anatomy sadly...
Edward's POV
I thought the flu was bad. I was wrong, I was so totally wrong.
"Honey, its fine!" I said trying to get her off the floor.
"No it's not!" She wailed.
"Bella, honestly! It's a vase!" I told her.
"Bu-But Esme! She gave it to us!" She cried.
"And I'm sure she will understand." I assured her.
Nope, she was in no way having that answer. She cried harder and leaned forward sobbing uncontrollably.
"Bella, I'm late for work. Please, please just get off the floor!" I begged.
She looked up at me like I was some kind of monster.
"I thought you would understand!" She sobbed.
"I do! I underst-"
"No! You don't! Fine, just go to work!" She snapped.
I probably looked like a deer in the headlights with some big semi coming full speed ahead.
"I- Uh- Bella please!" I begged.
"Nope. Just go save lives Edward, I will find some way to explain to your mother that I broke the vase she gave to us." She said getting up off the floor, but she was still crying.
"Bella is this one of those pregnancy mood swings?" I asked.
Wrong move.
"WHAT?!" She snapped.
"Right, I'm going to work." I said.
"Ugh!" She growled.
I closed the door just as a shoe came flying and hit the door.
I let out a deep breath as I dug my phone out.
"This is Alice, how can I help you?" She answered.
"Ali! How is my lovely sister doing today?" I asked.
"I am over my head in orders for shoes! Not to mention all the pairs of jeans that people want that Rose just finished! I can not believe all these orders!" She went off.
"Do you need a break?" I asked.
"I so could use one, want to meet for lunch?!" She asked.
"Well, I'm going to work but-"
"What do you need me to do Edward?" She asked.
"It's Bella, she is going through a mood swing or something..." I said getting in my Volvo.
"And do what exactly...?" She asked.
"Just go to the house and make sure she is okay please? Maybe talk to her?" I asked.
"Go shopping?!" She asked perking up.
"If you get her to agree yes. I just don't know what's going on here Alice." I sighed.
"She is pregnant now Edward, pregnant women have mood swings." She told me.
"I know, but this happened so fast! It was like she was happy, and then bam she was on the floor sobbing so hard I thought she was going to throw up, and then bam she was pissed off at me because I didn't understand!" I ranted.
"What was she upset about?" Alice asked.
"She broke a vase that mom had gotten us." I said.
"Look, I'm on my way out of the office now. I will be there in ten minutes. Just go to work, pick some flowers up on the way home, and everything will be fine." She said.
"I owe you one Ali." I said.
"Yeah, yeah..." She said hanging up.
Bella's POV
"Isn't it a bit early to be registering for my baby shower Alice?" I asked.
"Never!" She said pretty much dragging me into our local baby store.
Holy baby things. I never knew there was so much stuff for babies! They had everything you would ever need from cribs, to blankets, to car seats, to socks!
"I think we should look for clothes first." Alice said almost running to the clothes isle.
There were so many clothing items! Onesies, pants, shorts, shirts, bibs, shoes! You name it!
"Alice, we don't know what the sex of the baby is and we wont for a while!" I informed her.
"Yes, that is why we go with the neutral colors. Yellows, greens, whites, things like that!" She beamed.
"You my friend have a serious problem." I laughed.
…
"I'll have a salad with french dressing and some water please." I said handing the waiter my menu.
"Okay, I'll be right back with your orders." He said smiling.
"Why are you only eating a salad?" Alice asked.
"Because, I feel like I'm about to barf." I said resting my hand on my stomach.
"Gross. Thanks for sharing that." She said.
"You asked." I said.
Beep beep!
I dug my phone out to check it.
How are you feeling? -E
Like my stomach is on the spin cycle and everything is going to shoot out at any moment. -B
"Edward?" Alice asked.
"Yeah." I said.
Beep beep!
Eat some crackers. -E
I'm fine, at the restaurant now. -B
What are you having? -E
Salad with a glass of water. -B
Change it, get 7 UP instead. -E
Edward stop, I'm fine. -B
I worry about you. -E
I know, but I'm fine. I love you. -B
I love you too. -E
"He's worried." I told Alice.
"Of course he is." Alice said.
"Alright! Here you guys go." The waiter said.
I looked at my salad and I could feel my breakfast come up.
"Oh god." I gasped getting up and dodging to the bathroom.
"Is something wrong?" The waiter asked startled at my sudden run off.
"No, she's pregnant! Can you bring some 7 UP to the table?!" Alice asked running after me.
I clutched the sides of the toilet as Alice held my hair back, she cringed as I threw up my eggs and bacon into the toilet.
"Remind me that I never want to have children." She said.
I gasped sitting up.
"It will be worth it." I told her.
"Adoption seems like the best way to go." She said.
I smiled taking the tissue she handed me.
Edward's POV
"Honey I'm home!" I said.
"Oh Edward I am so happy!" She said smiling.
"Yeah?" I asked.
She ran over to me giving me a kiss on the lips.
"What is all this excitement about?" I asked smiling happy she was in a better mood.
"Jake and Julia are getting married!" She smiled.
"That's great! Tell them both I said congratulations." I told her.
She began to type quickly on her phone probably sending Jake a text message.
"How about we order in tonight?" I asked.
"Okay! My show is on anyway." She smiled.
Great. That stupid medical show where half the doctors are sleeping with each other and some one dies every other episode...
…
Alright! Grey's Anatomy fans who have NOT seen the Season 8 Finale and the plan crash SKIP NOW! Do not read.
This was plain torture.
Lexie Grey: I'm dying...
I looked over at Bella who had tears threatening to spill.
Mark Sloan: You're going to be fine.
The guy who was named "McSexy" apparently, was telling the girl how they would get married and have kids and that Sophia could have a sibling. I looked back over to Bella who was full on crying now. How could she watch this?
Mark Sloan: We're meant to be!
Lexie Grey: Meant to be...
I watched as her eyes stopped moving and her head slowly fell against the ground as the guy began to cry and clutch her hand harder. I saw Bella grab a tissue and blow her nose.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"Lexie loved Mark, but Mark was to dumb to see it most of the time! They were soul mates, they were suppose to get married and have kids!" She cried.
"It's a TV show..." I said slowly.
"I know! But the writers get you so attached to these characters, and then go and kill them off!" She sobbed.
Alright! It's safe to read now!
Thankfully, the night went better after the show ended. We cleaned up after it was over and we were now laying in bed, Bella was almost asleep.
"What do you want? A boy or a girl?" She whispered.
"Anything. I don't care as long as it has ten little toes and ten little fingers." I told her.
"What if it doesn't?" She asked becoming alarmed.
"Then I will ship it to China." I joked.
Clearly she did not see it that way, she looked up at me horrified.
"Only joking my love, if it doesn't have all its toes or fingers I will love it just the same." I told her rubbing her back.
"Mmmm." She smiled closing her eyes again.
"Are you tired?" I asked.
"A little." She yawned.
I kissed the side of her head before we got ready for bed.
Bella's POV
Start Dream
Edward was at work and I baked him some cookies to surprise him with.
Ding Dong!
I ran to the door carrying the plate of cookies, I grabbed my purse and opened the door to find Alice and Rosalie waiting for me.
"Ready to go?" They asked.
I nodded, I had no clue why they were here and do not remember making any plans for them to come along with me. We pulled up to the hospital in no time.
"Hi Jerry! Edward around?" I asked.
I leaned against the counter with Alice and Rosalie on either side of me.
"Yeah, he's around here somewhere. Are those Bella's cookies?!" He asked.
"Yes they are!" I said smiling.
I held out the plate for him to take.
"I need the chart for my patient in three." A doctor I have never seen before asked.
"Well hello hottie." Alice said.
"Who is that?" Rose pretty much drooled.
"That, is Dr. Mark Sloan, he is from Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital." Jerry said.
We all bit our bottom lip and watched as Dr. Sloan went over a chart, we didn't even realize that Edward, Jasper, and Emmett walked up.
"Bella?" Edward said.
I didn't pay attention to him though, too busy drooling over this man.
"McSteamy." Rosalie said fanning herself.
"Rose!" Emmett gasped.
"Oh yeah..." Alice agreed.
"Ali!" Jasper gaped.
"You called for a consult Mark?" Another hot doctor asked.
"Oh dear lord. Who is that?!" I gaped.
"Dr. Derek Shepard." Jerry said.
"Holy. Hotness." I whispered.
"Um, Bella?" Edward said.
"Shh!" I scolded.
I continued to look at him twirling my hair like I was some teenage girl again.
"McDreamy." I smiled.
"Bella! You are married! To me!" Edward gasped.
"Not right now I'm not!" I whispered.
Edward's eyes went wide as he looked at Emmett and Jasper.
"Dr. Sloa- I mean Mark, no Dr. Sloan, I need you to look over a patient, I'm not sure on something." A brown haired short girl asked.
"Who is that?" Alice asked.
"Lexie Grey. She is in love with Mark or "McSteamy" as Rose said." Jerry told us.
"Huh." I said.
All I could do though was stare at McDreamy though, and dream that I was the new Mrs. Bella Shepard.
End Dream
"Bella?" Edward said.
"McDreamy..." I mumbled.
"Um, Bella." Edward said again.
"Five minutes Derek, five more minutes." I groaned.
"Derek?! Bella what the hell?!" He demanded.
I opened my eyes, he woke me from my amazing dream!
"Who is Derek?! McDreamy?!" Edward asked.
"Derek Shepard." I said.
"From that show?" He asked.
"Yeah." I said.
"Wow." He said getting up and laughing.
"Don't laugh at me!" I scolded.
"Mom called, she said she will be here in a hour and a half." He told me.
"Okay." I said.
He bent down to give me a good morning kiss, I smiled kissing him back before I got up.
"Where are you going? I wasn't done kissing you." Edward said.
"I have to take a shower." I told him.
…
"This feels so good." I said closing my eyes.
"I know." Alice agreed.
I closed my eyes as the guy did his magic on my back.
"The spa was a very good idea mom" Alice said.
"Thank you." Esme said as she was enjoying her own massage.
I had to have a different massage since I was pregnant, we were lucky there was someone here today trained in giving pregnant women massages.
"So, when are you due?" The guy asked me as he worked on my shoulders.
"Not for another eight months, I just found out." I told him.
"Is your husband excited?" He asked.
"Yeah, he is pretty happy. We have been trying for a while to get pregnant and it didn't seem to be happening, but then it did!" I said.
"That's great, I'm happy for you." He said.
"Thanks." I said.
"I'm going to tear up again!" Esme said fanning herself.
I laughed.
Flashback
"Mom, do you have a second?" Edward asked pulling me by my hand behind him and leading me into the kitchen.
"Yeah, what's up?" She asked.
"You may want to sit down." I told her smiling.
"Oh boy." She said.
Edward took a seat and pulled a chair next to him for me and I sat down, he grabbed my hand and smiled at his mother.
"Well, what is up?" She asked getting impatient.
"We have some news, and we want you to be the first one to know." Edward said.
Esme looked like she had an idea what the news was, but she let us be the ones to say it.
I looked at Edward before smiling at Esme, "I'm pregnant!"
"Oh my gosh!" She gasped.
She hugged me first holding on to me for a few minutes before letting me go. When she did she had tears in her eyes and the biggest smile plastered on her face.
"My baby!" She cried hugging Edward.
"It's okay mom." He said patting her back.
"My baby is having a baby!" She cried wiping her eyes.
I laughed as I wiped my own tears away.
End Flashback
After the spa we went out to lunch, I luckily got to keep my lunch in my stomach this time which was a very good thing to me! Once we were done with lunch we did a little shopping before returning home to our loving husband. Well, they did at least, my loving husband was at work, so I used that time to get some cleaning and me time.
