The Geek's Guide to Parenthood

Celebrate Good Times, Come On!

Okay, so here it is. The sequel for A Nerd Story of Love. I don't own any of this. The only thing I do own is the plot to the story and a very cool 'Geekward' mug. I'm planning on keeping the story lighthearted as can be, but there will be angsty moments. I will post warnings in the author's notes at the beginning of the chapters for fair warning.

Thanks for everyone who's faved, reviewed or read my story. I love writing SGB and Nerdella and I'm so happy that you all love them too.

Chapter Twenty-One: Celebrate Good Times, Come On!

"I was saving myself for perfection, Isabella. I found it. In you," he said sweetly. "Besides, I was never all that sexual before you. Jasper tried to get me to watch porn and go out on dates. Alice, too. But, I wasn't interested. Most women were too flighty and fake that I was exposed to. You were everything that I ever hoped for, Bella. You're intelligent, compassionate, loving and absolutely the most stunning woman I've ever known. I'm so lucky to have you, Mrs. Cullen. I love you. So much."

"I love you, too," I whispered, touching the computer screen. A quiet knock filled the room and then the door opened. "Johnny's back."

"Let him tend to your head and then call me after you've taken the pregnancy test," Edward said.

"Can't I just wait?"

"Do you want to know?" Edward asked.

"I do. But, I want you here," I pouted. "With me. Not on the phone."

"I'd rather I was there, too," Edward murmured. "Just take the test. What's the worst that can happen? You find out you're not pregnant?"

"Okay," I sighed. "I'll call you back soon. Love you, Edward."

Johnny attended to my head, putting on a few butterfly sutures over my now cleaned wound. He told me to take two Tylenol and go to sleep after I called Edward. With a smile, he handed me a pregnancy test. I tore into it and gave Johnny a shy grin. He clapped my shoulder before leaving the room. I grabbed my cell phone and ran to the bathroom. I slid down my pants and panties, peeing on the stick. I set the stick onto the counter, setting the timer on my phone. I called Edward back.

"So?" he asked.

"It's 'cooking,'" I said as I sat on the edge of the tub.

"How long?" he muttered.

"Three minutes." My legs bounced as I stared at the stick on the counter, facing away from me. "So, how was work? Good?"

"Whitlock is still functioning. The foundation is a fucking mess. I don't know what to do. The Naperville police are doing extra patrols at the site along with some perimeter sweeps. The company that Johnny, Ricky and Matthew work for have been placed on the work detail to ensure that nothing would happen during the day. Plus, they are constantly searching for anything more than 'sabotage.' It's been fruitless but they've only gone through a quarter of the building."

"What about the video surveillance?" I asked.

"It hasn't been reliable. The power is not consistent in the foundation since the crews are working on different locations each day," Edward said, frustration evident. "I'm so done. I'm ready to just close down the foundation in Naperville and move it to another location."

"Don't, Edward," I chided. "It'll work out."

"But, Bella. I'm concerned. If Emmett can get to the foundation when there's construction going on, how is he going to react when there are children?" Edward squeaked out. "I would feel horribly, devastated...if anything happened to any child while at the foundation. It's supposed be a safe haven."
