Consequences
"Please Edward? Please Please Please?" begged Bella. I sigh heavily, this conversation had been coming up a lot as of late and I was starting to get tired of it. I loved Bella and I always wanted what was best for her, but this time I wasn't so sure.
"Give me one good reason why this is a good idea." I say. Bella gives me her best puppy dog face. I groan; I hated that face. She knew I had a hard time resisting it.
"Because we love each other." She says. I look into her eyes and I knew she really wanted it.
"Fine." I couldn't believe I was doing this "But if I start to hurt you too much you have to warn me." I say. Bella's face lights up and she kisses me passionately. I kiss her back. The kiss deepens when her lips part and my tongue slips into her mouth, she tasted so good. (sorry guys, no lemon) Soon we were cuddled up under my golden comforter panting. Bella kisses my cheek.
"See? No harm done. And you were worried." She teases me. I smile.
"Yes, no harm done, but if Charlie finds out he'll probably bring his shotgun." I say. Bella giggles.
"Charlie won't find out. As long as no one tells him." says Bella. I grin.
"Well, I'm not telling." I say. The next morning I drop Bella off at home. She kisses my cheek before running up to her house. I go home and find Alice waiting for me on the front porch. I get out and approach her. Her thoughts weren't very coherent and I couldn't understand why.
"What's wrong, Alice?" I ask.
"Umm…may be you should sit down." She says nervously. She motions towards the steps. I decide to sit down. Alice sits next to me. "I had a vision about last night." This news didn't really surprise me and Alice could tell. "Maybe I should clarify." She says. Then she shows me her vision. My eyes widen in surprise.
"How could this happen? I'm a vampire! Bella's human!" I say. Alice looked a little nervous.
"I spoke to Carlisle about it. He was surprised too, but he thinks it might be because Bella's human that it's going to happen. You need to talk to Bella about it." Says Alice. I nod.
"What will her reaction be?" I ask. I watch as Alice's face goes blank for a moment bore going back to normal.
"She won't believe you at first." Says Alice. I nod. I expected no less because as of right now I didn't believe her either. I needed to talk to Carlisle first. I go inside. Emmett, Jasper, and Rosalie had gone hunting for the weekend. For this I was glad. I didn't need the whole family in on it just yet. I go to Carlisle's office and knock on the door.
"Come in." Says Carlisle. I walk in. Carlisle didn't seem surprised to see me. I was suddenly a little nervous. He motion towards a chair sitting across from his desk. I sit down. Carlisle closes the book he was reading and hands it to me. I read the cover. It was an old medical journal of mine. "You may want to read that." He says. I groan.
"What am I supposed to do? This wasn't supposed to happen." I say.
"Well it has. And since you are a Cullen you will take responsibility for your actions." Says Carlisle.
"I know. I will, but what about Bella? Charlie is going to be upset." I say.
"Do what you must to help her. This is going to be a tough time for both of you, but I think you should count your blessings as well. This is a miracle if anything." He says. I sigh. He was right. This was a first, but it could be a good thing. I just hope Bella is happy when she finds out. I know if Bella is happy we'll all be able to breathe easier. Now I just needed to face Bella.
"Thank you Carlisle. I'll talk to her tonight." With that said I leave his office and go to my bedroom to think. I look at the bed and sigh. The sheets needed cleaned. They smelled like a very aroused Bella and that was only making me aroused. I pull the sheets off of the bed and carry them down to the laundry room where I find Esme. I could tell by her thoughts she didn't know about this yet or maybe she did and was hiding it from me.
"Could I get these washed please?" I ask. Esme looks at me and smiles affectionately.
"Of course, dear. Place them in front of the washer and I'll have them for you later. Right now I have a load of whites in so the sheets will need to wait." She says. I smile and lay them in front of the washer.
"Thank you, Esme." I whisper. I head for the door.
"Edward, did you forget?" She asks. I walk back over to her and kiss her cheek. She smiles.
"Don't worry about Bella. Everything will be fine." Says Esme. I felt like blushing. I had a feeling she knew. I walk out. That night I go to Bella's like I always did, but this time I didn't want to face her. Charlie was in bed and the house was quiet, but Bella's bedroom lights were on, and I could hear music playing. It was Linkin Park. Not a bad band, but it surprised me that she'd be listening to it. Then she begins to sing along to the words. I jump into her window and hide in a corner out of her peripheral vision and listen to her. She had a beautiful voice and I couldn't understand why she always thought so negatively of herself. The song comes to and end and Bella sighs heavily before turning it off.
"You have a lovely voice. Like an angel." I say. This causes her to jump and gasp. Then she notices me and her cheeks turn scarlet in embarrassment.
"You heard me?" She asks. I nod and walk over to her. I sit down next to her on the bed. I really didn't want to say what I was about to say, but she'd find out eventually. I sigh heavily and look away. Bella climbs onto my lap and looks at my face. I try to avoid her eyes.
"What's Wrong, Edward?" she asks.
"We need to talk about last night." I whisper. Bella suddenly looked scared.
"What's wrong?" She asks. I sigh. I look into her eyes. They were full of worry.
"Alice had a vision." I say.
"What kind of vision?" She asks.
"Bella, somehow, and I'm not sure how, you are pregnant with my baby. I spoke to Carlisle as well and he thinks it's because you're a human and I'm a vampire." I say. Bella looked like she wasn't sure if I was lying or being serious. She seemed to realize I was being very serious.
"How?" She asks. I shrug.
" We aren't sure. But like it or not, you're going to have a baby, and I will be there to support you in any way I can." I say. Tears well up in Bella's eyes. She hugs me. I wrap my arms around her and let her cry. Soon she falls asleep. The next morning she wakes up and looks at me. She smiles.
"Good morning." She says. I was a bit surprised. I expected more tears.
"Good morning, love. How do you feel?" I ask.
"I've been better, but a had a dream last night about being pregnant and I gave birth to the most beautiful baby and it gave me the courage to face this…as long as you stay with me that is." She says. I smile. Bella was going to accept being pregnant. Now I could breathe and focus on her and the baby that will soon be growing inside her. This thought made me very happy. I stand up pulling Bella with me and kiss her passionately.
"I am very happy that you feel that way, Love. I was a little worried." I say.
"So are you happy about me being pregnant then?" She asks.
"Exceptionally happy. I can't wait to become a father. And I'll bet Alice will be happy too." I say. Bella laughs.
"I can only imagine. She was so happy about the wedding next month that I could imagine how she'll react to a niece or nephew." Says Bella. I chuckle.
"Why don't we go to my house? Charlie went fishing with Billy early this morning so I wouldn't worry about him for a while." I say. Bella nods. Soon we were at my house. By now the whole family was home. Alice was waiting by the door looking very excited. She hugs Bella as soon as I let go of her hand.
"C'mon Bella, we need to talk about some stuff up in my room." She says. She drags Bella away. I chuckle. Esme walks over to me.
"How is she taking it, dear? Have you told her?" Asks Esme. I nod.
"She cried herself to sleep last night, but this morning she was totally fine with it. I'll admit I was a little confused, but she's happy so I'm happy." I say.
"Good, I'm glad you two worked it out." Says Esme.
