*A.N. - Here you go - it's about 2000 words long - so not too short for you guys! - ENJOY!*

Two days later and finally everything is organised; WE'RE HAVING A BABY SHOWER!

I am 34 days/weeks pregnant, exceptionally happy, extremely excited and so prepared.

Alice as per usual was put in charge of decorations, Nessie helping her, Esme and Bella had decided to do the food for Nessie and I.

I finally persuaded Emmett into letting me go upstairs in the wheel chair, obviously still attached to the machines and things; it would take less than a second for them to move me upstairs and replug the machines upstairs. I think I surprised Emmett most when I suggested the idea, he had counted on me to be the one always being extra careful, and as much as I felt guilty at not being extra careful this time I really, really wanted to move out of this room.

After all, I had been stuck in the same place for over a month.

"And you're absolutely certain you want to do this?" Emmett asked for about the millionth time today.

"Yes! Emm, I'm absolutely positive, right? Quit pestering me." As much as I loved him, lately it just seemed like everything he said was annoying me, my temper was snapping like a twig when he asked a question more than once. This topic was becoming a particularly sensitive issue.

"Well okay then," he said, drawing his face back from mine, a hurt expression already giving me the guilt trip. "I'm just going upstairs then for the moment." He turned and began walking towards the door.

I was suddenly overwhelmed by sadness as he left my side for what I knew would probably only be a few minutes; before I could stop myself a little sob escaped and I turned my head in the opposite direction to hide my dry cries.

Too late though, he had heard the first sob, "Rosie?" he asked, quickly at my side, then flashing around to the other side of me were my face was now turned.

"Yes," I choked, trying to control my childish, unnecessary tears.

"What is it sweetie?" he placed a loose strand of hair behind my ear as he gave me a small, gentle kiss on the tip of my nose.

I thought about it, wondering why I would so quickly burst out crying when he was only leaving my side for a less than ten minutes, I came to the conclusion that it had been unintentional, "I don't know," I sniffed.

"Oh, babes, come here," he opened his arms to me and I leant forward slightly as he wrapped his vast self around me, comforting me so completely that all sadness was gone almost instantly.

I just lay in his arms for a little while; I enjoyed just sitting with him, spending the time with him even if it was in silence. Something we had both learned during my pregnancy was how much we really did love each other, not that it had been in doubt before but we didn't realise there was more aspects to our love; we thought the no sex rule would be a big deal, but to be honest, it's not been as bad as expected, and we've spent the time talking, discussing things, playing games, watching films - the list goes on. And in each of them we really learned more about the other. It truly surprised us that after nearly three quarters of a century knowing each other there was still more to learn.

Alice and Jasper came bounding downstairs and tried, unsuccessfully, to stay quiet and not ruin the moment.

Alice had come down to tell us they were ready for us upstairs, Jasper and Emmett were going to take me upstairs where they had a machine ready for the tubes which were inside me to be connected to.

Carlisle and Edward were upstairs to do that; it sounded like a bit of a sexist operation altogether, the men doing all the important bits; but the girls kept me calm just being there, so I don't think anyone was really bothering.
