Bella's POV

I was sitting on the couch in my living room. The shock I felt left me numb. How could this happen? Edward was next to me; his shock mirrored mine; he sat with his head resting in his hands trying to calm himself. "How could this happen?" I thought. We were careful, and it was only one time. My mind flashed back to this morning; when everything had been normal, well, normal for me.

The alarm had gone off, I rolled out of bed, got ready and then went to the kitchen to get breakfast. The smell of the food Charlie was cooking instantly made me feel like I was going to throw up. "Uh-oh" I said. "Bella, are you okay?" Charlie yelled at me as I ran back to the bathroom.

"Bella?" Charlie asked.

"What?" I said as I pulled my head out of the toilet to look at him.

"Honey, are you sick or something this is the fifth day this week you've gotten sick. Did you eat something that isn't agreeing with you?"

"No, Dad, I'm fine." although, he did have a point, this wasn't normal, and there was that one time...

"Bella?" Edward's shaky velvet voice pulled me back to the present.

"Yes," my voice was barely a whisper, but I knew he could hear me.

"I'm sorry."

The worry in his voice made me turn and look at him. His flawless face was creased in worry.

"We should go see someone to confirm what those two pink lines told us."

I looked down at the home pregnancy test in my hands; at the lines that told us what we thought was never possible. "When, and where, because Charlie will find out if we go to the hospital or free clinic in town." my voice broke and a tear slid down my face. Edward lifted his hand and brushed it away.

He held my face in his hands, "It's going to be okay, we'll go to Seattle, or we can go to Carlisle." my worry started to fade, it always seemed to do that when I was with Edward, though. "No one has to know for now, okay?"

I nodded, and then he gently kissed me; making my breath stop for a second as his lips touched mine. His lips left mine too soon.

"Come on," he said as he lifted me up into his arms, " let's go figure out what we are going to do."

"You can put me down, Edward." I said as he carried me to his car.

"No, you see, I don't want you to tire yourself."

I glared at him as he gently placed me in the passenger's seat of his silver Volvo. "So, where are we going?" I asked him.

"Where do you want to go, Carlisle, or Seattle?"

I thought a minute then said, "Seattle, it's nothing against Carlisle, it's just if we go there, someone will see us and tell Charlie, and I don't want him to know until it's absolutely necessary." I looked out the window, thinking Edward was going to be upset, but he just said,

"I agree, we should keep this quiet until we know anything is certain."

I looked at him shocked, "You're not mad?"

His brow creased, "Should I be?"

"No, I just thought you would want to go see Carlisle." I was confused, but Edward just gave me a small smile and said, "no, I don't want to tell my parents until we know for sure, either."

I laughed a little as Edward started the car and headed to Seattle. The ride was quiet and short. I looked at the speedometer once and noticed that the car was going 105 mph, but I was too shocked about the fact that I could be pregnant to worry about the speed of the car. Besides, Edward always drove this fast. We found a hospital that didn't look as busy as the other hospitals near by.

"Are you ready?" he asked. His perfect face looked like it was torn with worry.

"As ready as I'll ever be, let's go do this." I tried to smile, but it didn't work.
Edward held my hand as we entered the hospital and filled out paper work. "I'll take that back for you," he offered.

"Okay," I handed it to him, and watched him walk back to the front desk, and smile at the receptionist.

"Poor lady," I thought, "He's dazzling her."

We only waited five minutes before my name was called, no doubt Edward's doing.

"Bella Swan?" the nurse called. I raised my hand and started to get up, Edward was already up, offered me his hand. "Follow me," the nurse said.

She led us to a small room, "the doctor will be in shortly," she told us, "you will need to get into a gown, there in the drawer over by the sink." I nodded and walked over to the area that she had pointed at, and pulled out one of the paper gowns.

Edward was trying to hide a smile as I turned to look at him, "Do you honestly think I am going to let you stay in here while I change?" I said teasing him.

"It's not like I've never seen any of that before, remember, that's why were here."

"I know," I glared at him, "which is why you should at least turn around while I put this on."
Edward laughed but turned around to let me get the gown on. "Okay, it's on, you can turn around now," he was around before I had finished my sentence giving me a crooked grin.

Before either one of us could say anything, we heard a knock at the door, followed by a very young doctor entering.

"My name is Dr. Jack Morgan, what seems to be the problem today?"
Well," I said in a tone that made my discomfort obvious, "I think that I might be... pregnant." I looked at my folded hands in my lap.

"Okay," he said, "We are just going to do some blood and urine tests, and I am going to have to examine your pelvis to make sure everything is fine." he looked at Edward as he said the last part. Edward was grimacing slightly, but he saw my face and looked more remorseful than anything else.

"Okay, what's first?"
the doctor handed me a cup and pointed down the hall way, and then said, "the nurse will be in to draw some blood in a few minutes." he left the room, and I jumped down off of the bed I was on. Edward was at my side instantly. "You don't have to stay when they draw the blood, you know?"
he made a face, but said," I'll be fine."

I leaned up to kiss him, and he leaned down to kiss me carefully on the lips my breath stopped and the world started to spin slightly, but I didn't want it to end. "Now, go do what you need to do," he said ending the kiss suddenly.

I walked down the hall, then came back to find the nurse there as the doctor had promised.

"I gulped when I saw the needle in her hand, are you sure this is necessary?" I asked.

"It'll be fine," she told me

Edward stayed on the other side of the room, not breathing. I gave him a smile that was meant to be reassuring. I closed my eyes, and held out my arm; it was over relatively fast, but I am sure it seemed to take forever for Edward.

We then had to wait for close to an hour before the doctor cam back. He sat down and then looked at both of us. He looked over the tests for what seemed like an eternity, I felt like I was going to faint. Why doesn't he just tell us already?

"It seems that you are pregnant," he said, "so, I am going to need to take a look at your abdomen to make sure everything is normal," I stopped breathing, I just wanted time to slow down, but it felt as though it was moving at the speed of light.

"Are you sure?" I asked. I looked at Edward, his faced looked as ashen as mine. "I mean, really sure?"

"Positive, in fact your hormone level is nearly three times as high as it should be." He replied slowly.

"Edward…" I gasped.

He walked over to my side and took my hand. I looked up at him searching for reassurance. I found the same terrified expression that I was wearing. He seemed to know what I was looking for, "Bella, it's going to be fine."

"How do you know? How are we going to tell everybody? What are they going to say? OH MY GOD!" I screamed in hysteria as it hit me what was happening; I was pregnant. "Charlie is going to kill us!"
