It was the next day that Edward called. The peaceful atmosphere of the house became one of panic and worry as everyone waited for Edward and Bella to return. Ellis, who had missed the phone call, returned around midday with Seth to find Esme's worried face at the door.

"What's wrong?" He asked, hand gripping Seth's. Esme's eyes darted between him and Seth and Ellis could see that she was unable to speak. Luckily, Seth seemed to get the message.

"I've got to go now", he said to Ellis, squeezing his hand. "Mom is making pizza and I don't want to miss that. I'm famished".

Ellis smiled at him, grateful that he understood the situation. "I'll call you when we have dealt with our family matter", he reassured. Letting their hands fall apart, Seth turned and darted back into the forest as Ellis entered the house. The Cullens were all in the living room, spaced out on various pieced of furniture.

"What's wrong?" He repeated once Seth left hearing range. Esme's concerned face made him nervous.

"Bella might be pregnant", Rosalie's voice echoed around the living room. She was standing with her arms crossed next to the television, face stony. Ellis blinked at her.

"Is that even possible?" He asked. They were dead. How could they have children?

Alice gasped and shook her fists furiously. She was perched daintily on the edge of a sofa, Jasper at her side with a comforting hand on her shoulder. "I can't see!" She wailed in frustration. "It's not working!"

"Let's calm down", Jasper suggested, a wave of calm settling over the room. "Let's wait until Edward and Bella get here before jumping to any conclusions". The tension in the room softened and everyone relaxed their stances.

"When will they be arriving?" Emmet asked from Rosalie's side.

"This evening", Carlisle replied, glancing at his watch. "Edward texted to let me know that they were on the plane. They should be here around six".

"Cool, can I go and hang with Seth?" Ellis asked. All eyes turned to him and he shrugged. "It's not like we can do anything but wait until they get here". Esme sighed but nodded as Ellis skipped towards the stairs.

Ellis was in his room when Edward and Bella arrived. Seth had just left for patrol, unaware of the looming trouble. The wolf boy had left begrudgingly sporting silver glittery nails, matching Ellis' gold. He had stolen the nail polishes from Rosalie.

("Why am I silver?" Seth had asked as Ellis painted his left thumb.

"Cause I'm gold", he replied distractingly, furrowing his brows in concentration. "Like the moon and the sun". Seth smirked at him.

"Are you saying I'm your sun and you're my moon?"

"N n no", Ellis did not stutter, eyes avoiding Seth's cheeky smile. Damn wolf boy and His irritating handsome grin.)

As Edwards car pulled up in the drive, he was out of his room and down stairs before Bella had even gotten out of the car. Carlisle was standing on the doorstep as Edward urgently hurried his wife inside and through the house to Carlisle's study. Ellis and the rest of the Cullens had followed worryingly, only to be pushed out at the door by Esme.

"Go wait down stairs", she ordered and the five of them obediently slunk back to the living room.

"What will happen if she's really pregnant?" Ellis asked as he sunk into the sofa. Bella had looked slightly ill, skinny but tanned from her honeymoon. She had leant mostly on Edward and if Ellis had been seeing correctly, there had been a slight bump in her abdomen.

"I don't know", Alice muttered. Her voice was heavy with the words. She didn't like not knowing things. They fell into an uneasy silence, bodies tense.

"Will they have to get rid of it?" Ellis asked hesitantly. Rosalie looked up sharply.

"If Bella decides. It's her body", she stated firmly.

"Right, of course", Ellis muttered, chastised.

They didn't have to wait much longer before Carlisle and Edward were coming downstairs followed by Esme and Bella. Their faces were grim as the stood in the room. Bella was lead by her husband to the nearest sofa where she sat next to Ellis.

She mailed shakily. "I'm pregnant", she declared. There was no smiles and congratulations. Everyone was too busy wondering what came next.

Ellis stood and clapped Edward heartily on the shoulders. "Congratulations Eddie", he chuckled. "Maybe wear a condom next time".

Edward blinked in surprise. "I didn't know this could happen", he hissed. Ellis nodded.

"Neither did we, but basic biology Edward. You ejaculate, pregnancy. Just because female vampires are no longer fertile, does not mean males aren't", Ellis shrugged. "Remember, sex is cleaner with a packaged wiener".

Edward groaned a buried his face in his hands as Emmet started laughing. The tension fell slightly as everyone smiled. "Why am I getting this talk from my little brother?"

"Because I'm smart. I know that sex is safer with a covered baby maker".

Bella snorted.
