Chapter 19
Pregnancy
Edward
Bella had fortunately slept the whole way home, and she didn't throw up either.
Carlisle and Alice were already waiting for us at the airport.
I carried Bella and the two took care of our luggage.
Arriving at the car, I saw my beloved Volvo.
In my mind I said to Alice: 'Thank you.'
'Edward, as soon as we get home, we need to talk. Victor wants to see Bella as soon as possible.'
I nodded to Carlisle, carefully put Bella in the car and buckled her in.
At that, she opened her eyes briefly and mumbled, "Are we there yet?"
"Soon, my angel. You can sleep some more."
"Okay," came softly from her.
Then she pulled me to her and gave me a tender kiss on the lips. As quickly as her eyes were open, they were now closed again.
After starting the engine, I turned on the CD player and Bella's Lullaby sounded from the speakers. (Bella's Lullabyby Carter Burwell)
This car ride was different for the first time in my existence. I didn't feel the need to drive fast. So I drove, as Bella would call it, normally, and slowly by my standards. It felt good, somehow.
My thoughts were only with Bella and the baby.
I still couldn't believe it: I'm going to be a father. Can I look forward to that? What if it doesn't ...?
I was not allowed to think about it at all.
It would be a wonderful little half-creature. I was already curious if I could hear the thoughts from the dwarf.
At that moment I heard the heartbeat of the dwarf.
A smile formed on my face, and I wondered if they had just caught my thoughts.
When I put my hand on Bella's belly, the heartbeat was gone again.
Too bad! Why was it hiding?
Bella automatically clasped my hand and smiled contentedly in her sleep. So my hand remained for the rest of the car ride, and it was nice.
I parked my car in front of the garage, because Bella should not see her new car yet.
Somehow this car was not suitable for the situation. Clear case of 'There must be a new family car'. Bella certainly wouldn't like the thought. I had to go with Emmett soon again car look respectively buy.
When you thought of him, he was already standing there.
"Finally, my little sister is home again," he yelled across the patio.
He jumped over the railing and was beside me in an instant.
Before I could even say that Bella was asleep, he had already ripped open the passenger door and lifted her up.
Panicked, my angel cried out and struck Emmett.
The latter was so shocked that he almost dropped her.
"Bella, calm down, it's me, Emmett."
'I'm sorry about that. I did not mean to do that.'
"It's okay," I said, walking toward Bella.
This one was now hitting me, and she was very angry.
"What do you mean 'it's okay'? How could you let me get woken up like this?"
Emmett and I both looked at her with our mouths open, not daring to say anything.
Bella turned around, obviously still angry, and went into the house without another word.
We didn't even notice Carlisle behind us.
"It's called mood swings, and most pregnant women have them. From the looks of it, Bella already has them. This could be fun."
'You must, even if it is hard, always be kind to her. She should not get upset. That could harm the baby.'
"Always?", I asked Carlisle.
The latter nodded and went into the house laughing.
Great, I thought.
Bella
In the car, I only noticed that Edward had turned on my lullaby. At some point I felt his hand on my belly and clasped it. With a smile, I went back to sleep. At that moment I was very happy.
Unfortunately, I was literally brutally ripped out of my beautiful dream of my sweet girl.
When I opened my eyes to check out the situation, who dared to wake me up like that, I gave a short scream and hit Emmett like crazy.
How could he?
"Bella, calm down, it's me, Emmett."
I did not want to calm down. The anger in my belly was getting bigger and bigger.
Then I heard Edward say, "It's okay," and I burst with anger.
When he was with me, I hit him.
Oh man, I've never been this angry before.
"What do you mean 'it's okay'? How could you let me get woken up like this?"
The two looked at me with open mouths.
I turned around and went into the house.
Once in the room, I broke down in front of our bed and started crying.
A little later there was a knock at the door.
It couldn't be Edward, he wouldn't knock, would he?
With tears that just wouldn't stop, I brought out a soft "Come in."
"Bella, how are you?"
"Carlisle ... I ..." then more tears came, and I felt myself getting sick.
I quickly got up and ran to the bathroom to throw up. Not having the strength to go back to the bed, I remained sitting on the floor in front of the toilet. I felt someone brush my hair out of my face and looked up.
Carlisle looked at me with a reassuring smile, and I felt a little better.
"Bella, we should go to Victor's."
"Is that your friend you were talking about?"
"Yes. Victor is in Forks. We brought him in as a replacement. He'll be here for the next few months to help you through your pregnancy."
"When?"
"I'd say you freshen up a little bit, and then we'll head out. He's already expecting us."
"Okay."
Completely exhausted, I was still sitting on the floor.
Carlisle carefully lifted me up and brought me to the bed.
Only a few seconds later Edward was standing behind him.
"How are you, my angel?"
"A little better again. I don't know why I ..."
Carlisle interrupted me and said, "Bella, this is all normal. From the looks of it, you're already having mood swings."
"Great," I muttered.
Edward smiled at me and said, "We'll manage."
By now Carlisle had disappeared from our room.
Edward stood in front of me and started to undress me, which made me very hot.
I opened my legs and pulled Edward between them. I pushed his T-shirt up a bit and started kissing his belly. With my tongue I played with his belly button, and I heard Edward growl.
It did not take long, and we both had no clothes on. We kissed passionately and very intensively. His cold body on mine gave me goose bumps. My nipples stood up on their own due to the cold. My desire to feel him inside me grew immeasurably, as always.
"Please," I moaned softly.
My darling quickly complied with my request.
I felt his excitement at my center, slowly and carefully penetrating me. His tongue played wildly with mine and I had to moan.
At that moment, I didn't even care that all the Cullens were in the house. At that moment I wanted to feel Edward fully inside me.
After we climaxed at the same time, Edward slowly withdrew from me. We cuddled for some more time until there was a knock at the door.
Quickly, my sweetheart put the blanket over us and growled angrily.
Suddenly Emmett was standing in the room making fun of me.
"Well Bella, I didn't know you could go off like that."
I held the blanket to my chest, sat up, and then screamed really loud, "GET OUT OF HERE, BUT FAST."
I must have looked very angry at that, because Emmett was really out of the room very quickly.
Edward started laughing and pressed a kiss to my lips.
"We should get ready. Carlisle's waiting."
"Okay. Shall we shower together?", I asked him seductively.
"Another time, my angel. I'm going to the guest bathroom," he winked.
Quickly Edward gave me a kiss, then grabbed some fresh clothes and disappeared from the room.
Since I had no other choice, I also went to the bathroom to take a shower.
After the shower, I stood in front of my closet and realized that some of my clothes were missing.
Alice!, immediately came to my mind.
After some rummaging around, I found what I was looking for. I found a comfortable pair of black sweatpants and the yellow T-shirt with a Bambi on it, which Edward had bought me at the airport when we left. With that, I put on my black jacket and my light blue athletic shoes. Armed with my handbag, I went down to the kitchen where all the Cullens were gathered waiting.
"What are you wearing? You can't do that."
"Alice, it's all right, don't you see," I said calmly.
"You look stunning, my angel."
Edward quickly stood behind me. He put his hands around my belly and breathed a kiss on my cheek.
I loved it when he held my belly like that. It was a very nice feeling.
"Then let's go to Victor."
So the three of us made our way to Carlisle's friend.
I was very curious what he would say about our baby.
Edward
Bella had surprised me once again.
This woman managed to do it again and again, and I loved her even more for that. That with the mood swings could still become cheerful.
Carlisle had shown me in my mind some things, how pregnant women can be, and honestly I don't want to experience Bella like that. Since I could be really happy that it had immediately times Emmett fully got off.
When I thought about it, Emmett would have the hardest time during the pregnancy because he wouldn't be able to be more sensitive to her. This could really be a lot of fun.
While I was in thought, I heard Bella crying in the bathroom. Immediately I made my way to her.
Carlisle was with her and had tried to calm her down, which had helped only a little.
I walked up to her and asked, "How are you, my angel?"
"A little better again. I don't know why I ..."
Carlisle interrupted her and said, "Bella, this is all normal. From the looks of it, you're already having mood swings."
"Great," she muttered, looking unhappy.
I smiled at her and lovingly said, "We'll manage."
Carlisle did not want to disturb us any further and quietly slipped out of the room.
'Victor is waiting for us. We should be on our way then. Bella still has time for a shower. But remember, he doesn't like it when you're late.'
I started undressing Bella since she still had the clothes on from the trip.
My angel purred like a kitten, and I was surprised once again. She pulled me between her legs and lifted my T-shirt. Then she started to cover my belly with kisses. After that she played with her tongue on my belly button and a growl escaped me.
My wife knew exactly how to excite me. My boxers were already stretching, and I longed for release.
As if she could read my mind, she began to unzip my pants. We quickly removed each other's clothes. Her warm body on my skin was an indescribable feeling. We kissed very intensely and very passionately.
"Please," she moaned softly.
Since my desire to feel Bella completely was already immeasurable, Bella did not need to ask me long. I was only too happy to comply with her request. Slowly I penetrated her center and moved carefully in and out. Our tongues fought wildly with each other, and Bella moaned into my mouth.
Then I heard Emmett's thoughts from downstairs: Oh man, they're just romping together up there. I wouldn't have thought that of my little sister.
Immediately I blanked out all thoughts and concentrated only on my angel. Once again, we both reached our release at the same time, and it was just wonderful. Slowly I withdrew from Bella and we both cuddled for a moment.
Since my thoughts were still blanked out, I didn't notice who was knocking on our door.
I quickly put the blanket over my angel and growled angrily when I then heard Emmett.
Before I could say anything, he was already standing in the room with us and said, "Well Bella, I didn't know you could go off like that."
Completely shocked at Emmett's words, I looked to my angel and saw that she was mighty angry.
She held the blanket to her chest, sat up and screamed very loudly, "GET OUT OF HERE, BUT FAST."
Emmett did the only right thing - he quickly disappeared.
I could not suppress a laugh and kissed Bella.
'Edward, we should really get going then.'
"We should get ready. Carlisle's waiting."
"Okay. Shall we shower together?" she asked me seductively.
"Another time, my angel. I'm going to the guest bathroom."
If we took a shower together now, I certainly wouldn't be able to keep my fingers still.
I gave Bella a kiss, grabbed some fresh clothes and disappeared from the room.
When I was done, I went into the kitchen to the others and immediately blanked out their thoughts again.
I didn't want to know what everyone was thinking.
I could tell from Alice's grin that she thought it was funny that I was finally having sex in the house, too.
Once we got back from Victor, we had to give Bella the wedding gifts and then we could let it rip in our bedroom.
At the thought my pants immediately stretched and I had to smile.
Thank goodness Bella just joined us in the kitchen, and she looked beautiful.
Alice couldn't help herself and went off on Bella about her outfit.
Bella asserted herself perfectly.
I stood behind her and put my hands around her belly, breathed a kiss on her cheek and at that moment I felt infinite love.
For my angel and my little munchkin.
Finally my son is happy, I heard from Esmé.
They're both so cute, and I'm looking forward to being an aunt, Alice thought.
Why can't I have children?
I became a little sad at this thought.
Rose had always wanted children. This situation had to be hard for her!
Carlisle broke the silence and said, "Then let's go to Victor."
Bella
I spent the car ride asleep once again.
This tiredness was unbearable. Hopefully, this was just a phase and passed quite quickly. After all, I couldn't sleep through the whole pregnancy. I already hated not being able to spend nights with Edward, and now if I slept as much during the day, I had even less time with him.
Then I thought again that I certainly wouldn't miss sleeping once I was transformed.
Oh my God! I soon had to talk to Edward about the transformation. The baby changed everything now. I couldn't possibly be transformed right after birth, then I wouldn't be able to see my baby for the first year as a newborn. Oh no, that didn't work at all.
I woke up screaming and realized that I was already in a treatment room in the hospital.
Edward sat next to me and smiled lovingly at me.
"It was just a dream."
Then he gave me a kiss on the forehead and caressed my cheek.
Yes, it was a dream, but unfortunately also the truth.
Before I could say anything, Carlisle and a second man, who was probably Victor, were standing next to the bed.
"Hello Bella, glad to see you awake. I'm Victor, a very good and especially old friend of Carlisle."
"Hello," I brought out shyly, noticing, for whatever reason, that I was getting embarrassed.
Why do the three of them look at me so questioningly?
"Then I would suggest Carlisle and Edward go out for a moment so I can examine you. Later, if you wish, they can join you and follow the rest of the examination. Agreed?"
"Okay," I said carefully.
Edward gave me a kiss and said some more, "See you soon, my angel."
Then the two disappeared and somehow I felt a little uncomfortable, alone in the room with a strange vampire.
I could see from Victor's eyes that he was also drinking animal blood, but something about him was creepy!
"So, what did Carlisle tell you about me?"
"Only that you are a good friend and keep my secret."
Victor smirked, which made him seem less frightening. He took my hand and led me to the gynecologist's chair.
At the thought that he immediately was looking into me down there, I felt how once again the blush shot into my face.
"Bella, you don't have to be uncomfortable. I have examined many women before. However, you are the first one I can examine externally, since you know what I am."
"I don't understand?", I asked, very confused.
"I have the gift of sensing new life, and I can tell if everything is okay with the baby. Further, I can recognize gifts, which is doubly good in your case. With normal women, I can't just put my hand on your belly and say, 'Congratulations, you're having a baby!' if you understand what I mean."
I couldn't help laughing at this statement and imagined the face of an unsuspecting woman, how she would react.
"That means you can sense if my baby is healthy and what gift it will have?"
"I can't tell exactly about the gift until the pregnancy progresses. At the moment I can only feel that it has an active gift, which is already very strong. It doesn't want to be seen if it doesn't want to. Thus, it must have some kind of protective shield. But as I said, the gift and the baby are only developing. Everything can still change. The fact is, your baby is special, and he or she is developing beautifully."
I was so blown away by Victor's words that I didn't even notice that he had his hand on my stomach the whole time we were talking.
"So my baby is healthy and normal?"
"If you call a half-being normal, then yes," Victor winked at me. "I say we get your husband and Carlisle in on this and try the human ultrasound. Maybe we'll get lucky, and the baby will show."
Victor hadn't even finished his sentence yet, and the two of them were already standing next to me and seemed nervous somehow. I had the feeling as if two little boys were standing next to me, who were looking forward to Santa Claus. This picture was just too cute.
I took Edward's hand in mine, put it on my belly and said, "Please my Mousie, show yourself. Mommy, Daddy and your dear grandpa want to see you! Please."
Edward looked at me lovingly and gave me a passionate kiss. His eyes shone with love, and I began to cry.
I was so happy.
"Oh man, Grandpa sounds beautiful," came the words from Carlisle and he looked happy as well.
"Ready? Then let's see if you'll show yourself to us."
I got a cold weird gel on my belly, and Victor spread it with the ultrasound scanner.
Nothing was heard, and nothing was seen.
Disappointment spread through me, and I said again softly, more to myself, "Please."
And then we were all amazed with our mouths open.
My Mousie was recognized, and the heart sounded beautiful.
"Oh my God! That's our dwarf!" said Edward proudly.
