The Little Unexpected Things

It's Story Time!

Edward's P.O.V

We couldn't have been more ready. Her nursery was ready, her closet stocked with clothes, shoes, diapers, wipes, everything we need. There wasn't anything we didn't need. Our bag for the hospital was ready, well bags because we also have one at Alice's just in case. We have everything ready with Dr. Greene and our parents are eagerly waiting for the call that tells them they're about to become grandparents.

Now, all we have to wait for is for Ella to make her entrance into the world. That won't be in another seven days. Seven days, Ella will be here. In seven days Bella will become a mother. In seven days I'll become a father. We'd be a small family... Until she meets someone who she wants to share this with, the rest of her life... Then her and my Ella would belong to someone that isn't me... I shake the thought away. I can't deal with that right now.

Bella walks out of our bedroom and sits on the stool by the bar. I smile at her and hand her the breakfast I made and take a seat next to her. The whole gang, that spontaneously decided to join us for breakfast this morning at our apartment all comes together.

"How are you feeling?" I ask.

She touches her necklace, the one I gave her. "Good, really good. Which I hope doesn't last long because I'm supposed to be due in a week, shouldn't I be feeling contractions or anything?"

I shake my head. "It might take some time. Remember what Dr. Greene told us, it takes time for first time mothers."

Bella whines. "I don't want to be pregnant longer than expected!"

I give her a look. "Don't rush her."

Alice takes a sip of her orange juice. "Oh, Bella I was meaning to ask you something!"

Bella nods. "What's up?"

Alice leans her cheek on her hands and says, "Well, baby Ella will be born in a week so I was hoping that before we welcome our bundle of joy-"

"Our?" I ask. "I don't remember there being more than the two people that were present when she was created."

She ignores me. "-you can tell us how this all started! And I don't mean the sex part, I'm sure Emmett and I wouldn't want to know how both our siblings had sex,-" Emmett nods in agreement "- but when you found out you were pregnant!"

Something inside my head clicks. I do want to know that, I want to know how Bella suspected she was pregnant, what brought her to suspect it. Everyone else agrees and Bella's cheeks take a deeper shade of red. She drinks from her orange juice and then clears her throat.

"You guys really want to know?"

"I do," I say.

She looks at me shocked. "You do?"

I nod.

"Okay." She pauses, one of her hands grip her necklace as she takes a deep breath and looks at us. "Well, it was the day Rosalie found the pregnancy test. The day we all hanged out at Alice's house. I left home around seven to do my morning jug. I was fine, I felt no different from the day before or even the month before. Anyway, I did my morning jug around the park and when I finished, I went to take a seat under a nearby tree. I sat down, relaxed for a couple of minutes.

"I remember I was watching the people that were walking by, playing a game by myself where I thought what their life might be by just looking at them. That's where it happened..."
