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. My hands were shaking as I gripped the wheel
and I realized then just how nervous I was. Within minutes I was at
the Cullens' house and the door was opened for me. Carlisle greeted
me with a warm hug and he guided me into the living room. He asked if
I needed anything and I responded, "water" realizing then just
how dry my throat truly was. As he went into the kitchen I situated
myself on the couch. He placed the drink within my hands and I played
with it, not being able to look Carlisle in the eyes.
"Bella
please talk to me, tell me what is wrong!"
"Car-Carlisle I
think I am pregnant." His only response was a deep intake of
breath. I knew full well that it did not need it, so it proved to me
that he was just as shocked as I.
"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
