I couldn't believe this. How could I be… pregnant? It had been made quite clear to me, by Rosalie, that vampires could not have children HELLO!!! That's why Rosalie hates me so much. But why else would I be so sick? Why was I late? I had taken a pregnancy, secretly, and it said that I was indeed pregnant. Edward was out hunting so I was alone in my room, not being able to think clearly. I walked out of my room and over to the kitchen to pick up the phone. As I leaned against the refrigerator I dialed the number that I knew as well as my name.
"Hello,"
"Carlisle?"
"Bella is everything alright?"
"Carlisle I hate to be a bother but are you busy?"
"I am not. I am in my studying just reading a book. Please do not ever assume that you are a bother sweetheart. You are very much a part of my family which means I will always be here for you."
"Thank-you. Would it be alright if I stopped by?"
"Of course, I saw wait for you in the living room. See you shortly." I heard the phone click; I grabbed my jacket off of the hook and hurried out to my truck.

"Well, realistically Bella it could be possible." I went to rebuke and he gently silenced me, "let me explain. None of my family could have children because they had all been changed before they 'got together'. For Esme, Alice and Rosalie their female processes had been halted so it was no longer possible for them. However, you are human, henceforth it's still possible. Have you told Edward?"
"I haven't. You are the first person I've told."
"Okay, well if it would make it easier for you I will be there for you, to support you." I could do nothing but smile, "Thank-you Carlisle, my heart feels like it is beating out of my chest." He reached for my hand.
"Bella, then I would brace for it to speed up even further. Because my family is right outside the door. My heart did not speed up, but rather, stopped
