I've got Breaking Dawn baby news for you!

Nope, none of the stars are expecting a new bundle of joy (at least not that we know of), but…

Jackson Rathbone tells me that the cast is very impressed by screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg's treatment of the much-talked-about birthing scene in B.D. "I think people are really, really excited and surprised about how tastefully it can be done," he said at Spike TV's Scream Awards.

Nikki Reed echoed Rathbone's enthusiasm. "It's intense," she said. "It's really intense."

"I play a pivotal role in this, because this is what Rosalie has always wanted, you know what I mean?" she continued. "So, I'm working really hard. I'm with my acting coach every day, three hours a day...I really care about this and I want it to be good."

Although they'll be shooting both B.D. movies until next spring, Rathbone and Reed know that saying goodbye when they wrap won't be easy. "I've had an amazing time working with the cast, and the fans have been incredible and so supportive of all us," Rathbone said. "It's going to be sad."

"It's not ending for a long time," Reed said with a big smile. "But I'm going to be sad and here's why: I'm working with really great people, people that I love. I've worked with some really talented directors. I've traveled all over the world with the series."
