Bella's Baby

Bella had graduated school for the past four years now, making her twenty two years old now. She was as happy as ever for she had a perfect fiancé and a family who loved her a whole lot. She was not only loved by her blood family she was also loved by her in laws. Her sisters - in- law loved her immensely, minus Rosalie except for occassions and her brothers -in-law loved her just as much. Her father and mother -in- law loved her and were so happy when she was around. Bella had nothing bad in her life until that one night on her twenty second birthday that made everything in her life go crazy.

That was the night she and Edward let go of their selves and made true love. It was the best thing to both of them, it showed that Edward could keep his vampire side under control even when he was amazingly close to Bella.

A few weeks later Bella became surprisingly hyper and she was almost a totally different person. She was paler then usual and she was always eating. That's when she realized it was time to find out what the problem was. She swallowed her pride on a day that she knew the Cullens and the Hales would be out hunting and went to the hospital to see Carlisle for a check up. She just casually walked in the hospital seeing as everyone knew she was a part of the Cullen family. Bella knocked on the door and Carlisle's professional yet soothing voice invited her in. As Bella walked in she realized that he was expecting her. A wave of panic washed over her and she wondered if Alice had had a vision and had warned him of her comings.

"Hello Bella. Is everything ok?" asked Carlisle.

"Well actually I was wondering if I could have a word with you and if you were really busy?" asked Bella innocently.

" I'm free. I have an hour lunch break that I don't need," smiled the vampire as he made Bella smile at his dry humor.

Bella sat down and told her father- in -law of her unusual behavior although he had noticed it too, seeing as she was always at his house with either Edward, Alice, or the now friendly Rosalie.

"Well Bella if I was to take a blood sample do you think you could handle it?" asked the doctor in a concerned voice.

"I'm not sure really. Is there any other way to take a test without having me faint and make Alice, Esme, and the rest of them come flying at me?" asked Bella.

"There is always the urine test," offered Carlisle.

"I'm fine with that!" I smiled. He smiled back and handed me a little cup.

I filled up the cup and returned it to the doctor. He walked out and then reappeared after a few minutes.

"I asked the nurses if they could hurry and do your test first so that we con get this over before any of the others catch on. I'm sure you want to keep this secret," said Carlisle.

I nodded my head. "I'll be sure to keep my mind as secret as I can when I'm with Edward," he promised. I nodded again. My stomach was in knots and I knew there was something wrong. All of a sudden there was a wave of nausea that washed over me and I ran to the bathroom. I knelt on the floor by the toilet and let all of my supper and breakfast and all the snacks in between come up. It was painful and I was very dizzy.

I walked out and Carlisle was at the door. He could see I was both nervous and sick of some kind. He put his arm around me and helped me walk back to his office. I was really grateful at his because I was sure I wouldn't be able to make it back to the room on my own strength.

" Please don't call my dad!" I pleaded with him. He handed me a cup of water and called the nurses at the clinic. I sighed in relief.

"Rest Bella. I will come get you when the results are back, I promise," Carlisle smiled assumingly.

I nodded my head and almost to suddenly I was asleep. I'm not sure how long I was asleep for but I was sure that I needed it. I was awoken by a gentle nudge. It was Carlisle with an envelope in his hands. I knew that the nurses I the clinic had done told him what the problem was so I took a deep breath and opened the envelope. As I read the print I realized that Carlisle was on the side of me and he was prepared to console me if need be. I'm glad I was with him and not Charlie.

I looked at him. Tears were slowly making their way down my face. I was scared senseless. It said that I was pregnant!

"…Wow. I.. guess I should wait till tomorrow to tell Edward. He needs to hunt. Carlisle, do you think I can come over and stay with you and Edward for a while. I can't see into the future like Alice but I do know that me and Charlie ARE going to get into a fight and at this time I don't think I can handle that," Bella mumbled.

Carlisle gave me that smile that dazzled everyone, just like the one his son had. "Bella dear you are welcomed to come anytime you need. When the baby is born I wouldn't mind if you and Edward came stay a little while with us. Like a month or to so that everyone can help you," he offered. I nodded and we discussed the baby and what I should do to take care of myself.

" Carlisle can I come over tonight when the gang comes back over so that I can tell them?" I asked as I got up.

"Of course you can, but are you sure you want to tell them before you tell your dad?" he asked searching my face for an answer. I nodded my head solemnly.

"I'm afraid that as soon as I tell Charlie I will be out of the house. He will be really mad at me and I really don't want that. I will tell him in a few days so that I can find the words," I said.

He smiled his knowledgeable smile and I hugged him good bye. "Be safe Bella." I heard him say I'm sure it was meant as much for me as it was for the fetus in my womb.

I went home and packed my over night bag. Edward had given me a key the house not to long after I graduated high school. I went to the bathroom for the ten millionth time that day and as I was going to the room I looked in the mirror. I hadn't changed since high school. I grew an inch or two and I looked more mature but I was still Bella. I picked up my shirt and looked at my belly. There was a baby in there, mine and Edward's baby. It really hadn't sunk in yet. I walked back to my room after I was done and I finished packing my bag.

I sat down on my bed and I fell asleep unwillingly. When I woke up I had only a few minutes left till Charlie come home. It was then that I realized I still needed an excuse to give Charlie in why I was staying at Edward's house. I grabbed a piece of paper and quickly jotted down quick note:

Dad,

I'm going sleep at Alice's house. We have a horrible school project. I'll come see you in the morning. Please don't worry. I love you, Bella.

Then Bella took the keys to her truck and headed over to Edward's house. It was weird, not having Edward in the car with her. She parked in the front of the house and took off insides. Carlisle greeted her and told her to make herself feel at home. She nodded and went put her stuff in Edward's room. Bella went to the bathroom that was there only for show until now, now Bella had the bathroom. When she was done she went to sit on the couch and once again she fell asleep.
