                                                             My Bella (Edward)

          I found out that my missed period is because I was pregnant. I was. I lost the baby though. This tells doctors my body isn't capable of carrying a baby. And I had infertility. I did take the pill eventually and we did try again. It was a long month before I was able to take a test.  

          I didn't want to see it say negative, so I told Edward to look at it.  

          I was getting sick though, so carrying a baby isn't the best thing to do now.. If I was pregnant, Edward and I would throw a party. In Allistari's honor. For helping us out. We were also gonna name our baby Sierra or Joseph and call him Joe. I wanted my kids to look like Edward. Nothing like me. I want our little girl or boy to be like him so I wouldn't have to see another failure like me. Everything like him and nothing like me. 

          While we wait for the results, Edward talks to me, to pass the time.  

"Well, what do you want the baby to look like?" He asks, taking my hands and kissing them. 

"You. Everything like you. The hair, the skin, the eyes.. Everything." I tell him, my arms around him. 

"Oh really? Well then you won't be happy to know I want the baby to look as beautiful as you." He kisses my cheek and I feel the blood rush to my face.  

"I'm not pretty.." I say, looking at him. 

"Oh, no you're not.. You're beautiful, amazing, adorable, and funny." He smiles at me.  

          I almost passed out because of that and the test beeps. Edward goes to check it and I brace myself. He gives me a look I couldn't read and then he gives it to me. I look at him terrified and I gasp. 

                                                                                                              Positive. 

          I was pregnant. There's a baby inside of me. Our baby. I start crying and Edward holds me and spins me in his arms, laughing in joy.  

"Gosh, we have to thank Allistari.. And we have to call our family!" I say, laughing with him.  

"Oh gosh, you don't know how excited I am right now!" He kisses me and I kiss back and then he puts his hands on my stomach. "This is our baby.." He smiles and laughs. "Our little baby." 

"Now, I have to be extra careful. He or she is probably as fragile as me." I say, both of us laughing now.

          Pregnant. I was pregnant. I am pregnant. I am having a baby. I was having Edward's baby. That's all that went through my head. Alice and Jacob came over with Jonah, Rosalie, Carlisle, and Esme came over after them, Raleigh, and Allistari came over with their husbands and kids too. My parents came last.

"So, what's the big announcement?" Raleigh asks, smiling.  

"I'm pregnant!" I tell them.  

          Everyone looks at us shocked. The first to react is Alice.  

"Yay!! Jonah will have a little play mate! Isn't that right, Jonah?" She pinched his cheeks and he laughed with her.  

"Congrats guys! Man, this is exciting!" Jacob says after her.  

"Aww! So I get a godchild, right? We had that deal!" Rosalie smiles and hugs me. "Congratulations.." She says, hugging Edward after.  

"Aww, I get a little grandchild!" Esme smiles. "Yay!! Congratulations guys!"  

          Everyone appeared to be happy. And we did party. We played the Wii, which was fun, and then we watched a movie, which was more fun.  

          I got to play with Robert and Jonah again. I kinda wanted a boy, but if I got a girl, I'd still be happy. After a while, everyone went home. After it was over, I thanked Allistari and said goodbye. She was the last one to leave. I laid down on the couch with Edward and I think we fell asleep there.

          I woke up the next day in Edward's arms. He's staring at me and then he smiles.  

"Hi." I mumble and I yawn. 

"Hey beautiful." He kisses my head. I smile and I put my hand on my belly and rub it. I can't wait until I can show off my baby bump to the world.

          I rested my hand on my bump and looked out the window. It was sunny today, odd for Forks. Edward was taking me to the doctors for an ultrasound. My stomach wasn't big and this concerned the doctors, but I thought positive. And Edward did too. Everything was good. I heard a song I really liked and I sang it, along with Edward.

          During the ultrasound, we heard the baby's heartbeat. It was the best thing ever. We also found out we were having a little girl. Sierra. All I could think of was Sierra and Edward. We would be a happy family and we'd go on road trips and parks together. I can see myself strolling her in a stroller, walking with Edward.  

          Gosh, just seeing it makes me happy. I felt the baby kicking the other day and Edward felt it. This made us both sure out little baby is gonna be a happy one. We both decorated the room, it had pretty flowers on the walls, showing beauty. I also brought pretty butterflies which made it look so beautiful. The room was so amazing.

Today was the baby shower. Jacob and Edward were going to see a football game. So, having a baby shower is perfect.

After I got home, Rosalie helped me put some of the stuff I received in the nursery for Elizabeth. After Edward came home, he assembled the crib and some of the bigger things and finally, it was finished. I had almost 20 boxes of 15 diapers and a lot of clothes for my little girl. I mean, our little girl.

Time went by quickly. I grew so much I wasn't able to walk up and down the stairs without help anymore. Doctors were happy about my progress, but I can't fit into my clothes anymore.

After a while, people stopped calling and they never replied to me. I felt alone. Well, I still had Edward and Allistari.

Date: June 8th, 2010

Today, Allistari's daughter, Lillian, is graduating 3rd grade, so she invited us to her graduation. We went and she got a few awards. I had pains, but I wasn't worrying, considering I was pregnant anyway..

After we got home from her graduation party and all of that, the pain worsened. I didn't show that I had pain. I was taken a bath when I noticed blood in the tub. My blood.  

"Edward!!" I called his name, looking at the blood on my hands scared.
