Forever And Always

Chapter 8

Bella P.O.V

It was Christmas eve, everyone had something to do in the kitchen, me not so much. Mr. Overprotective Cullen wouldn't let me off the table because there was too much cooking going on in the kitchen.

I sat there getting the amazing smell from the turkey surrounding me.

"So, do you have any idea on what is Edward giving you for Christmas?" Alice asked from somewhere from the kitchen.

I shake my head. "No idea."

"We should do a baby shower," Alice said, "like now that we know that it's gonna be a boy we should."

"Oh, my God we should," Rosalie said.

"Maybe after New Years," I said looking out for my water bottle. When I find it I twist the top off, "we still have another holiday coming."

"But Edward is leaving after New Years Eve," Alice whined.

"Well, baby showers are for women and babies. Not for guys, trust me."

"Who's talking about baby showers?" Edward came in.

I shake my head. "Alice wants to do a baby shower for me now that we know Bruno is coming soon." I pat my belly.

His hands wraps my waist and makes me stand up, he sits and pulls me to his lap. "A baby shower sounds great, when?"

"After you leave," I say.

He rests his chin on my shoulder and let's out a slight moan. I laugh and lay back on his chest.

"You don't want me here for his baby shower?" Edward asked offended, acting I guess. He gives me a slight slap on the butt making me up on his lap.

"You have to go back to Chicago, plus, baby showers are for women, not men, Edward."

"Well, I agree with Bella in that." Emmett's voice sounds in the background. "Baby showers are all about pregnancy, hormones, birth and a bunch of other women subjects we, men, are trying to avoid."

"Thank you, Emmett, for proving my point," I say. "See?"

"I do," Alice joked, "you can't."

I slap Edward's arm. "Ouch!" He whines. "What was that for?"

"I don't know where Alice is so you're her brother, you get the hit."

It really doesn't bother me weather someone makes fun of my condition, I just go with it. Edward did notice this a long time ago and said he loved that about me, I do too.

~~~~~ That Eve ~~~~~

Edward P.O.V

I helped Bella dress in her blue, thin straps dress, put on her leggings and her shoes. Alice helped her do her hair. Her belly bump was noticeable with that dress, really noticeable. She looked stunning.

I walk up behind her and kiss her neck. "You look amazing," I whisper on her neck.

"I bet you look good, too," she giggled."

My phone starts to vibrate. I take it out and recognize the number as Tanya.

Merry Christmas, Edward.

I frown looking at the phone. How did she get my phone number? After the fight with Bella no one ever knew a thing about her. No one knows where she is, what happened to her and now... She suddenly appears.

Tanya?

She texts back, immediately.

Yes.

Me: How did you get my number?

Her: It's the same one since we broke up.

True.

Me: Oh, okay.

Her: How are you and Bella?

Do not tell her she's pregnant. This women would do anything, I don't trust her.

Me: Better than ever.

Her: I just came back from London and there's rumors around town that she's pregnant.

Fuck.

Me: Rumors are rumors.

Her: So is she or is she not?

Me: No. I have to go, my family is waiting for us. I hope you have a nice Christmas Eve. Goodbye, Tanya.

Her: Goodbye, Edward.

I let out a sigh and block my phone.

"Is everything okay?" Bella asked.

I looked at her and sigh. She's beautiful even when her eyes are starting off at space, darkness in her own head, tangling her hair between her fingers and her other hand on her belly. I wished that we would've start a family when she was able to see again, see our child and more when we were married.

"Yeah," I kiss her cheek.

Later that night it was time to give our presents. I walked up to Bella who was eating a piece of chocolate cake. I chuckle when I see some chocolate on her upper lip. I wipe it and lick my finger.

"I have your present," I say.

"Edward, I feel bad because I didn't get you anything," she whines.

I laugh, "Of course you did, silly." I touch her belly. "My son."

She smiled.

I take the little box out of my jacket and show the ring my father gave me. Same ring her gave my mother. I take her left hand and kissed it.

"Though, we wanted things happen differently, I'm happy with our lives and with our baby Bruno. I promise you that I'll protect you and our son, forever. Will you do me the extraordinary honor of marrying me?"

"Yes."

I smiled. Everyone starts clapping when I slide the ring down her finger I kiss her lips.

Nothing can change how happy I am right now.
