Present:

I woke up sometime later to the mouthwatering smell of bacon, and waffles wafting through the air.

The smell caused my stomach to rumble, and my mouth to water immediately.

As I sat up, I realized I was no longer in the sitting room but back in the master bedroom. My things were placed on the overstuffed ottoman in the corner of the room.

The moment I slid out off the bed, I quickly rushed into the bathroom, slamming the door as I rushed in. As I did, I quickly rushed in the direction of the toilet, my stomach already swirling uncomfortably.

Without hesitation, I moved towards it. Dropping onto my knees harshly, as I began to empty my stomach into the black porcelain bowl.

I winced as I felt the sting of the cold tiles hitting my knees as I dropped to the floor. But I could only focus on the horrible feeling that swirled in my stomach as I began to puke. I proceeded to puke until all that came out was stomach acid, and spit. My throat felt raw.

When I finished, I unsteadily stood up, and washed my face, and mouth.

As I exited the bathroom, I jumped slightly as I practically ran into Edward, who was standing by the doorway.

"Hey, I was just coming to get you. Are you alright, uccellino?" He asked, concerned.

I nodded weakly, as I made my way back to the bed.

"Hey, where are you going? Aren't you going to eat?" He asked me.

I nodded, yawning sleepily before climbing back onto the bed, and rolling into my side. "Later…. Too tired now." I mumbled, sleepily.

He sighed, "You've gotta eat the food you were craving. We don't want anything bad to happen to the bambino now, do we?" He asked, with a smile, as he walked over and sat on the foot of the bed.

"It's a girl." I told him, smirking at his unsurprised expression.

He shook his head amused, "I think it's a bambino, but I won't mind it being a little bambina if she looks like you. She'd be beautiful if she looked like her momma." He replied, as he reached over and caressed the length of my jaw with his finger tips.

"Quit trying to butter me up, Masen, I'm still mad at you." I sleepily murmured.

"Don't hold grudges, that's bad for you and the baby." He murmured as his hand slowly descended on my stomach.

I never noticed until now, how much my body had changed. There was a small curve in my stomach as I laid on my back.

It looked as if I had just eaten a plateful of moussaka made by my γιαγιά.

A frown fell on my face as I stared down, watching as Edward slowly rubbed the small curve of my belly.

The feeling of his warm hand rubbing my stomach, caused me to groan in appreciation, sighing as my body relaxed more into the mattress.

I heard him murmur something softly as he continued to stroke my belly lovingly.

A smile pulled on my lips as he looked up at me.

"I'll go get your food, you rest some more. You look tired." He said, before getting up and making his way out of the room.

One Month A Half Ago:

(Before She Left)

I stood tensely by the window of the third story house.

Six fucking weeks!

It's been six fucking weeks since someone had trashed the loft at the old Sparrow's nest.

The fuckers have been evading us, but not for much longer.

After Maggie, and Tia had been on the lookout along with Jane. I joined the search a week ago.

Tia managed to find a lead after finding an IP address.

She managed to trace it to a location in Italy but Alice, Rose, and Siobhan came back empty handed.

Then we found out who it was, and I knew exactly what we were going to do but for the plan to work I needed Edward and his men.

Only then could I make sure that there was no way that they'd come out alive.

After explaining my plan to the girls, I went to speak to the guys. I was asked to go alone, and the reason made me roll my eyes to the back of my head, and not in a good way.

Rose had informed me that the girls had held off on contact with the guys until they were sure of their feelings towards them.

I knew I had to give them time, and that they'd come around on their own, yet I worried that they were doing this for the same reason I avoided Edward in the first place.

As I left the nest, and made my way towards where I knew Edward and his men were currently located.

As I approached the location, I got an urgent call from Rose.

"What is it, Rosalie?" I asked as I answered.

"The Nest has been compromised." She told me frantically, before hanging up.

"I'm on my way." I said, as I backed away and turned around.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Why can't I catch a break!!" I mumbled.

I was a few minutes away from the Nest when I got a call from Edward, "Yes?" I asked.

"Was that you who just pulled up a minute ago?" He asked.

I sighed, "Yes, but I received a call from a very frantic Rose. The Nest has been compromised." I told him.

"Do you know why this happened?" He asked.

"No, but I'm about to find out." I told him before hanging up and swerving into the car lot.

Author's Note:

Hey y'all sorry for the long wait! But as you all know, life has gotten complicated.

See, I am moving states so it's been pretty overwhelming and tiring, so I hope y'all like this, while I return.

Stay safe y'all! See y'all soon!
