Chapter 1: You’re kidding right?

"Edward, I-I don’t know what to say. Well I do, but I don’t know how to say it." His expression had confusion written all over it. Alice knew well Alice also knows pretty much everything though. She had been keeping her head busy all day to prevent Edward to know, so had Rosalie and Esme. I just didn’t know how to say it. "Bella, love. Tell me what’s going on in that confusing little head of yours. It is utterly frustrating not to know."

I wasn’t a vampire yet, so giving him this news would most definitely post-pone the changing date, but not telling him, my husband, would undoubtedly lead to our biggest fight so far, if he found out afterword. It will also very well end an innocent life. I had to tell him, there was no other option.

"Edward, darling. You know since I haven’t been changed yet that I still have my cycle." He nodded, still very confused. "Have you noticed that I’m late by a few days?" Edward knows that I have not been late a day in my life. He nodded slower this time, trying to figure out what I was getting at. "Then I guess you have noticed as well that I have been rather nauseous every morning for the past two days as well as I have been craving rather strange foods."

Edward furrowed his brows in attempt to comprehend what I was saying. He still wasn’t getting it. The women in this house did a wonderful job at clouding their heads. "Well Edward, there is no other way to say this so I’m just going to say it. I’m pregnant Edward. You’re going to be a father." Edward just stood there, quiet for a moment. That moment felt as though it lasted for a century or longer. He took an unnecessary ragged breath and very gracefully walked out of the room without speaking a word. He acted as if I had said nothing at all.

My knees quickly buckled and I fell to them. Silent tears started to roll down my slightly red cheeks. Alice rushed into my room as soon as Edward left. She knew he was going to act that way. She kneeled on the floor and embraced me. "Bella." She soothed, running her hand down my back. "Edward is shocked is all. He thinks you cheated on him with Jacob." That really didn’t help the situation. "Alice. How could he even begin to think that? I’ve been with him every minute of every day and night since the reception. Does he not remember what happened that night? Jacob wanted to kill him." I sobbed harder into my sister’s shoulder, sure to have soaked it by now.
