"I'm pregnant," I whispered. I watched the emotions play across his face.

"You're pregnant?" He asked.

I nodded and he said, "Who's the father?"

I looked at him and said, "Yours."

"How though? We used a, well I, used a condom when we had sex," He said.

"Well, not in the kitchen…"

"Shit, the kitchen…well this kind of…complicates things," He murmured.

I nodded and I said, "Where's everyone?"

"Different places, I think Emmett went to the cafeteria, and Alice and Jasper went shopping for…something I don't remember what she said for."

"Knowing Alice it probably isn't something majorly important."

He nodded and I said, "Are you upset?"

"Why would I be upset?" He asked.

"I'm not sure…is it because of everything?" I asked.

He shrugged and said, "I don't know how Edward is going to take this…"

"Well…Edward is a big boy; he'll have to just understand, right?" I asked.

"Of course, but…he's been hiding things lately and with Tanya being pregnant I don't think this is an appropriate time for him to start doing whatever he's doing…"

"He came to my house yesterday before Royce and asked me to tell a 'leader of God' that I love you and won't leave you."

"He did?"

"Yeah, I said I will."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

After I got out of the hospital, and was reassured my baby would be fine, I went to Carlisle's house. We sat in the living room and watched TV.

A few hours after we had been sitting there Carlisle's phone rang. He flipped it open and listened until he leaned up and said, "Calm down, take her to the hospital, I'll meet you there."

He closed the phone and said, "Tanya is giving birth."

"Let's go."

He stood up and I followed him to the car. We drove to the same hospital I had just gotten discharged from. When we walked up we saw Edward pacing the waiting room. Carlisle walked to him and Edward said, "Why won't they let me go back with her?"

"You aren't the husband or family, it's purely procedure," Carlisle reassured him.

We sat in the waiting room and Carlisle talked to Edward the whole time about what was going to happen and told him that Tanya would be fine. After an hour of waiting a nurse came out and told Edward he could go back.

I watched Edward leave and said, "Do you think this will help straighten him out?"

"I really hope so," he replied.

We waited in silence until a nurse came out and took us to Tanya and Edward. She had had a baby boy and named him Anthony. I liked it. The baby had Tanya's hair and Edward's eyes. Carlisle held the baby for a little bit and Edward ended up falling asleep next to Tanya's bed while Tanya held the baby.

We left them there promising to return the next day.

Tanya had to stay at the hospital for a few days and the baby did as well. Just for procedure. And Edward refused to leave Tanya's side. When Carlisle and I were riding the elevator back down to the lobby and Carlisle said, "I think he's going to be okay."

"I do too, you raised a great kid," I said.

"Thank you, I think you'll be a wonderful mother," he said.

"You'll be the best dad."

We rode in the elevator in silence, all the while thinking about my baby. Carlisle really would make a great Dad, and if I could raise my baby as great as my mom did then she would be the luckiest little girl ever. Thinking about how my mom wouldn't get to meet my baby made me sad but one look at the pure…joy on Carlisle's face made me forget my worries.

We went back to Carlisle's place and were sitting down when my phone rang. I answered it and it was Alice. I had texted her to tell her Tanya gave birth. "How'd it go?" She asked.

"Wonderful, but I have news," I said deciding to tell her first.

"What?" She asked excited.

"I'm…pregnant!" I exclaimed.

"No way!" She shouted.

"Yes!" I shouted back.

"What was that?" I heard Jasper in the background ask.

"Bella's pregnant," Alice said.

"Bella! Congratulations!" He said.

"Thanks Jasper!" I said.

I talked to Alice for a few more minutes before hanging up. I decided to get telling Emmett out of the way and called him. He was happy and Rose was ecstatic. She couldn't wait to baby sit for me. I suppose that was nice of her.

A few weeks later I felt the baby kick for the first time. I called Carlisle over and we sat on my couch, him touching my stomach and me looking down at him. It was a magical day…full of surprises and loving moments.

We sat on the couch for the rest of the night, my head on his shoulder, his hand on my stomach. It was a beautiful way to fall asleep, and I think the little nudger agreed. When I woke up in the morning I was in my bed and I heard someone in the kitchen.

I got up to find Carlisle and found him in the kitchen. "Shit," He mumbled. I studied his back as he stood over the oven with the pan. He was holding his right hand away from the stove and kept tilting the pan around.

I watched him turn off the stove and go over to the sink. He ran water over his burn and then went back to the oven. He put whatever was in it on a plate and then grabbed a glass of OJ and started towards the exit. He spotted me and then said, "Oh, good morning… I didn't, um, know you were there."

I smiled and said, "Yeah, I was watching you make breakfast, it smells good."

"I hope you like it, wanna sit down?" He asked.

He sat the plate at the table and I went to the table. "I have a lot planned today, so I want you to be fully awake for everything," He said.

I was confused, really confused, but went with it. It was really early and if Carlisle was a little mixed up at the moment, I wouldn't blame him. I ate while he watched and I was going to offer him some but he reassured me he already had eaten.

He took me to several places I wouldn't be able to go to in a few months. We were at this very nice French restaurant that Carlisle had rented out. It was overly extravagant, but I love that he loved me enough to spend so much.

After we had dessert the waiter took our plates. I was telling Carlisle about us taking care of Anthony for the weekend. He said it would be fun. Then he said he wanted to talk to me, but he said, "Bella, we need to talk."

I was suddenly very afraid of what he was going to say. Break up? Really? With everything we've been through? No!

"This is good, I think," He said.

He got up from his seat and he got down in front of me on one knee and looked up at me. He reached inside his coat pocket and pulled out a little velvet box. I gasped and tears came to my eyes. "Carlisle…"

"Isabella Swan, I love you more than life itself, and you are the only one I have eyes for… Will you do me the honor of marrying me?"

I grinned through my tears and nodded. Then I pulled him up off the ground and said, "Yes, yes, yes, a thousand billion times yes."

I pulled him into a hug and then pulled back so he could put the ring on my finger. He laughed and said, "You didn't even look at the ring yet."

"It could be one of those from the movie machines and I'd still say yes," I said.

"Oh, well in that case I'll take this one back—"

"No! I want this one, lemme see it?" I asked.

He opened the box and I gasped again. It was beautiful, there was a gold band and then a diamond ring that wasn't too flashy but not too small, it was perfect. He picked up the band and said, "I got it engraved for you, too."

I carefully grabbed it from his hands and read the inside of the ring. 'The beginning of forever…'

"Awe! Carlisle! You're so perfect," I cried harder and was so happy that I jumped into his arms. He caught me, thankfully, and hugged me to him.

SIX MONTHS LATER

"Carlisle!" I yelled from the bottom of the stairs.

"Yes, dear," He called down.

"It's time!" I shouted back.

"What? Oh, I'll get the bag, where are my keys, found them, wallet, wallet, wallet," he chanted it over and over again until he bounded down the stairs.

"What?" He asked while I laughed at him.

"You're too funny," I laughed.

I grabbed my stomach and said, "Oh," as a wave of pain ran through me. "The baby is coming."

He nodded and walked me to the car. He drove well over the speed limit and I'm sure we would have been pulled over if Carlisle hadn't got the big sign for his bumper that said, 'Baby on Board.'

We pulled into the hospital and he ran inside and then ran back out to the car. He pulled the door open and helped me out of the car. He made a wheel chair appear out of thin air and I sat down. He pushed me inside and a nurse came over.

"She's having a baby," Carlisle said.

"Okay, we'll take her and you'll need to fill out the forms," She said pointing to the counter.

"Okay," He said.

The nurse wheeled Bella away and I went to the counter. A lady handed me a form and I grabbed a pen. I filled out the form. It took nearly forever and when I finally finished I handed the chart to the woman. I asked if she could tell me where to go to find Bella. And then she told me I couldn't because I wasn't the husband.

So I sulked in the chair and stared at the wall. "This is bullshit…" I mumbled.

An hour later I was still sulking in my chair mumbling about the dumbness of hospitals with my arms crossed when a nurse walked out and said, "Carlisle Cullen?"

I stood up and she said, "Bella Swan would like to see you."

I followed the nurse to the maternity ward and when I saw Bella I walked to her and she was holding a baby in her arms. I leant over Bella to look at the baby and Bella whispered, "Baby meet your dad."

"Carlisle meet your baby girl," Bella whispered.

I looked down at the baby and saw the cute button nose Bella had, and she had my eyes. I looked at Bella and she held the baby out to me. I picked her up carefully and held her to my chest. "She's beautiful, like her mother."

Bella giggled and said, "What should we name her?"

"What'd you have in mind?" I asked not looking up from the baby.

She yawned and grabbed my finger that had been tracing her cheek. She bit it and I laughed. She was so adorable. "I don't know…" Bella mumbled.

"You did all the work, you get first pick," I said.

She rolled in my arms and held my finger tighter. "She's adorable," I mumbled. I sat down in the chair behind me and Bella said, "How about Marie?"

"Marie…" I tested it. "Hi Marie," I whispered to the now sleeping baby in my arms.

"It's perfect," I said and looked up at Bella. She smiled and I looked back down at Marie. She was still holding my finger and she looked so tiny in my arms. "She's so small," I whispered to Bella.

"She's a little underweight but the doctor said she's perfectly healthy," Bella murmured. I scooted the chair forward and let Bella look at the baby too.

"Are we going to be okay, Carlisle?" Bella asked.

I looked down at Marie and thought about it. We can get married and live happily ever after…

I thought over the past several months and how well Bella and I had gotten along. How well she had handled talking to a 'leader of God' for Edward. How comforting she had been for Tanya. How loving she had been when I should have been the one taking care of her.

"We're going to be alright."

This isn't over, guys. Next chapter is the wedding… Then maybe two more chapters afterwards? I'm sorry this took so long to get up there, by the way. I thought I had it out there… I thought I had put it up on the site, guess not! Sorry! I'll update soon! Love you!
