Chapter One

Bella finished placing dinner on the table and making sure she had everything in its place. It was her and Edward's sixth wedding anniversary. Today was different than all the rest. Bella couldn't wait for her husband to return home from work. She had a little surprise for him. Under his napkin laid a single piece of paper with test results that read "PREGNANT". After four years of trying with many failed results, they finally were having a baby.

Bella made sure she looked good in the hallway mirror and waited at the door for Edward. She saw his headlights in the driveway and butterflies filled her stomach.

"Hey." Edward said as he walked through the door.

"Hey. How was work?" Bella replied, taking his coat and hanging it up.

"Fine. Have to be back in an hour to finish up the big case."

"Okay. I have dinner prepared. Come."

Bella led him to the dining room and to his seat. He sat down, pulled his napkin onto his lap and stared at the paper sitting there.

"What's this?" He asked as he unfolded it.

"Happy anniversary." Bella beamed as his eyes widened reading the piece of paper.

"Is this true?"

Bella nodded, still smiling. "I been feeling off lately and thought I was coming down with the flu and so I went to the doctor today and she confirmed I was pregnant."

"How far?" Edward was still in a state of shock.

"Four weeks from what she said. I have an appointment Monday with the OB/GYN to see exactly how far."

"Wow. I don't know what to say." Edward sat back in his chair and ran his fingers through his hair.

"Aren't you happy? We've been trying for years now." Bella's face fell slightly.

"I mean, yeah I am. It's just a surprise."

"It was for me too. But it's what we wanted."

"Yeah. I have to get back to the office. I'll see you later." Edward put the paper and his napkin back on the table and got up to leave.

"Don't you want to eat and spend a little time together? It's our anniversary." Bella asked, following Edward to the entry way.

"This is an important case. I'll be back later." Edward grabbed his coat, keys and briefcase and walked out.

Bella stood in shock at how Edward reacted. She was sure he was going to be ecstatic about the baby news. Instead, he just leaves. A tear escapes her as she begins to put dinner up in the fridge as it was. Afterwards, she slowly climbs the stairs of their home and heads to the shower.

She strips off her new dress, the one she had just bought that day to celebrate, her undergarments and let her hair down and stepped under the hot water. She began to cry. She didn't know why Edward was being the way he was lately. Staying gone at the office long hours, hardly coming home at a decent time. Today was worst. Their anniversary that she had planned out to the max, even a surprise positive pregnancy test.

She quickly washed and dried off, walking into the bedroom to dress in her nightgown. It was only nine at night, but Bella was already tired. She cut the lights and went to bed, tossing and turning the entire night. She woke when she felt the bed dip beside her. Glancing at the clock read 3:36am. She didn't make any indication she was awake while Edward laid beside her. He leaned over, kissed her cheek and rolled over.

Another tear escaped Bella.

Monday had finally came. Bella was excited to be going to the baby doctor. Edward has promised to meet her there on his lunch break. The weekend improved slightly for them. Edward would leave for a couple hours saying he was meeting the guys for lunch or bowling. Bella believed he was finally getting happier about the baby news.

She was smiling as she entered the office. It was a quaint place. Neutral colors on the walls with wall clings in baby nursery styles covered the area. She walked to the sliding window to check in.

"May I help you?" A plump red haired lady asked sweetly.

"Yes, ma'am. Isabella Cullen here to see Dr. McCarty at noon."

"Is this your first visit?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Alright. Take this clipboard and fill out the highlighted areas. Once you are done he sure to sign and bring back your insurance card." The lady handed Bella a clipboard and pen through the window.

Bella found a spot at the back corner and began filling out the papers. It took her all of five minutes to do so. Every few minutes she would look at her phone to see the time. Edward still hadn't made it yet. Bella waited twenty minutes before her name was called. She watched the door to see if Edward was going to make it.

"Mrs. Cullen, we can't wait much longer. If your husband shows, I will bring him to your room." The nurse said patiently to her.

Bella nodded and followed the nurse. She put her in a room and asked for a urine sample then waited outside. Once Bella was done, she placed the cup on the covered tray and opened the door. The nurse came in with the machine to check her blood pressure and went through the routine.

"Everything looks fine on your vitals. Dr. McCarty will be in shortly." The nurse left Bella sitting on the table.

She pulled out her phone and sent a message to Edward asking him where he was and what she was doing. Her phone done a jingle letting her know she received a message.

*Can't make it. Stuck at the office. See you later.*

Bella sighed. She put her phone away and fought back the tears that threatened to escape her. A few minutes later a tall, slender blonde woman in her mid-twenties walked in.

"Isabella? Hello, I'm Dr. Rosalie McCarty. How are you today?" She held her hand out for Bella to take.

"Bella, please. And I'm fine thank you."

"So, is this your first baby?"

"Yes. It was a surprise. My husband and I have been trying for almost five years now."

"That's wonderful. Where is the father?"

"He couldn't leave work." Was all Bella would say.

"Ah. Well, if you will lie back, I will begin my exam and then we will see how far along you are."

Bella laid back while Dr. McCarty began her exam. She did all the usuals for a first-time visit. Next, she pulled out the ultrasound machine and put cold jelly on Bella's stomach.

"Let's see if we can see the baby." She moved the wand around slightly until a tiny blip appeared and noise of a heartbeat filled the room. "There's baby. Measuring at exactly seven weeks, so that puts you at having the baby around April twelfth. Conception date would be July twelfth or so."

Bella watched as the tiny blip moved around and smiled at the strong heartbeat. She just wished Edward was here. Dr. McCarty wiped Bella's stomach and handed her pictures from the ultrasound.

"Here is a bottle of prenatal vitamins to take once a day and I want to see you back in four weeks. If anything happens, whether you think its big or small, please, don't hesitate to call. My office number transfers to my cell after hours. I can come to you if need be." Dr. McCarty gave her a smile and an appointment card.

"Thank you." Bella put the vitamins and card in her purse. She left the office with tears once again. Edward never showed or even asked how the appointment went.

She drove home and began dinner, hoping Edward would attempt to have dinner with her that night and see his tiny child's first picture.
