He was my husband's Dad for god sake. I knew it was wrong and that eventually we would get caught, but at the time it felt so right. He just took my breath away. His gorgeous eyes, blonde hair, his amazing personality and beautiful smile. I loved him and that's all there was to it. I didn't think of Edward or Esme. I knew it would absolutely crush them if they found out, but I was only thinking of me and him…Carlisle. It's not like it was planned, because it wasn't! It just sort of happened!
I had just got out of the hospital from visiting Alice. She had been injured pretty badly after her horse Bruno went crazy and threw her off him, causing her to be thrown against a wooden fence and finally slamming down onto the concrete floor, hitting her head on the way down. She had been in a coma now for 3 weeks, so I was back and forth to the hospital, sitting with her, talking to her, willing her to wake up. That's when I saw run towards me. She had just gotten off of her lunch break when she saw me.
'Bella' she shouted.
I turned around to realise who it was, it was just at that point that I realised that I hadn't seen her for what must have been at least 4 months now.
'Shit' I whispered as I realised how long it had been since I had the injection. 'Hi'
'Bella, it been exactly 4months and 2days since your last appointment with me, you were supposed to have your injection months ago! I've been trying to get in contact with you, but your phone has been constantly engaged! I haven't got any appointments now, so I can quickly fit you in now for you to have it. If you have the time?'
'I..I have had a lot on my plate recently. I've got a new number and forgot to inform you. I completely forgot about the injection too...thank you, that would be great' I stuttered.
I walked into her doctor's room, as I took a seat opposite her desk and waited for her to join me. The room didn't really look like a doctor's examination room as it had family photos and pictures all over the walls, there was also a bookcase full of books. They looked a bit like medical books. I suppose that would make sense since it was a doctor's bookcase. walked back into the room after getting all of my notes.
'Right, Bella. Before I give you the injection I need to ask you to take a pregnancy test'
I went into total shock, I couldn't be pregnant. Not at my age, I was only 20 and only just recently married. How could she think I was pregnant? It seemed like a total assumption being she hadn't even asked me any questions or anything. Was I getting fat? I think she realised how shocked I was as she suddenly tried to explain herself.
'It's only because of how many injections you have missed. So therefore I can't give you the injection yet just in case you are pregnant. It's just a precaution, don't look so worried' She said as she passed me the pregnancy stick thing.
'Don't look so worried?' I thought to myself as I walked towards the private toilet with the pregnancy test, how dare she? This was absolutely terrifying, how could I not look worried? I wasn't ready to be a mother and I don't think Edward would be ready being a father. We were both only 20, don't get me wrong I loved Edward but he would hit the roof when he found out. He had told me that he didn't want children until we were at least 24, the main reason why I actually went on the injection in the first place.
'I want to live my life to the fullest before we settle down to have children. I want you all to myself, I'm not ready to share you' I recalled him telling me before he passionately kissed me.
I peed on the stick, and walked straight back into the room passing it to straight away. I wanted this to be over straight away, I didn't want to wait around.
'It's positive' She smiled, as if she was apologising. 'I need to do a scan to see how far gone you are, if you would like to just pop onto the bed so we can get this over with for you?'
'Shit...shit...shit...shit' I was in total shock, how could this be happening? I didn't know how to feel, should I feel happy, sad, what? I had always wanted to be a Mom but only when me and Edward were both ready, I was willing to wait until he was ready. But shit happens. I was having this baby no matter what. It was up to him now. Whether he wanted to be in the babies life or not was completely his choice but I would do this alone if I needed to. There was no way I was going to abort this beautiful life inside of me.
I hesitantly walked over to the bed, for the ultrasound. I rolled my t-shirt up and she put the cold jelly on my stomach, before she did the sonogram. As she put it on my stomach to find the baby, I looked towards the screen and tears formed in my eyes as I saw the gorgeous baby growing inside me.
'You're 12 weeks gone Bella' Dr Hale said.
Whoa. How could I be 12 weeks pregnant and not have realised? I mean I had, had a lot of things on my mind these past 5 weeks, but that doesn't excuse how I didn't realise for 12 weeks. I mean I hadn't had any signs at all that I was pregnant. I guess I have been stressed with work lately and mine and Edwards honeymoon and not forgetting Alice. So I haven't really been paying attention but still that doesn't sum up to 12 weeks!
'O..Okay' I stuttered.
She printed off a picture of the ultrasound, so I could show my family..and Edward. How was I going to tell Edward? My biggest worry was Edward. I got into my car, turned on the engine, and the radio immediately came on.
You know I'll be
Your life, your voice your reason to be
My love, my heart
Is breathing for this
Moments in time
I'll find the words to say
Before you leave me today
Tears streamed down my face as I listened to the words, I turned the radio off. I couldn't handle it anymore. I started driving, driving anywhere, anywhere away from all of my problems, from telling him. Edward. After about three hours of driving around, thinking and crying I ended up at mine and Edward's cottage. I pulled up on to the driveway, turned off the engine to my white Toyota Prius and checked my BlackBerry phone. 12 missed calls off Edward, 8 off my Dad, 4 off of Edward's mom, Esme and several texts from all of them asking where I was and if I was ok.
'Oh god' I thought to myself, as I put my head in my hands the tears still falling. I looked in my compact mirror; my face was a mess from all of the crying. I had done. I grabbed a Kleenex out of my bag and quickly cleaned up the tears, before applying some make-up to try and hide the fact that I had been crying. I took my time to get out of the car and walk towards my gorgeous cottage. I opened the door and was taken aback instantly by how many people were in the house. Edward, Edwards Dad Carlisle, Esme, my Dad Charlie. All of them looking pale and panicky.
'Bella, where have you been? We've been absolutely worried sick, you've been gone for hours. Do you realize what time it is?' Edward ran over too me, hugging me tightly, tears forming in his eyes. 'I thought something had happened to you!' I looked over at the time as he said this. It was 12:30am, I had been at the hospital, doctors, and driving for over 8 hours. No wonder everyone had been worried. I didn't reply to Edward, just stood there in his embrace taking in what would probably be the last hug we ever had together.
'What's the matter Bell? Have you been crying?' Edward asked as he looked me in the eyes, stroking my cheek that was still tear stained.
'Wow, fail at hiding you've been crying Bella' I said out loud without realising.
'You have been crying? Babe, what's wrong? Are you ok? Has something happened?' Edward questioned panicking. He let go of me, to check me up and down making sure I wasn't hurt or injured.
'Edward, I'm not hurt' I whispered. As my Dad, Esme and Carlisle rushed over to me. Suddenly I felt dizzy and needed to sit down. I pushed my way past them all to get to the sofa, I sat down, needing time to take everything in. I needed to tell him now before I worried myself sick, whilst I had the courage.
'Edward, I need to speak to you..in private' I hesitantly said whilst looking at the others. I think they got the point as Esme asked my Dad if he wanted to go to hers and Carlisle's house for a drink, giving me and Edward some privacy.
'Bye Bells, if you need me you know where I am', My dad, Charlie whispered in my ear whilst giving me a hug goodbye.
I made sure that they had all gone properly and were in their car before I even looked at Edward. When I did you could see how worried he was, his handsome face full of concern.
'Edward..when I tell you this..please don't get angry, I want you to be happy for us both. We can work this out. Promise me, please?' I mumbled.
'What is it Bella?' He growled angrily, as if he knew exactly what was coming.
'I'm…I'm..' I couldn't bring myself to say the word.
'Spit it out Bella!'
'Pregnant' I spluttered
He looked straight to the floor, not looking me in the eyes at all. I knew this wasn't going to go well.
'Say something' I begged
'Like what Bella?! I'm absolutely thrilled for you, just what you fucking wanted! You've done this on purpose haven't you?!' He snarled.
'No Edward! I promise, I can't believe you even think I would do that! I love you Edward, I took a vow to never lie to you! I didn't want this either ok? I wanted us to both be ready before we had a baby, so why would I do this on purpose?' I screamed at him. How could he think I would do that too him? I wouldn't dream of it, I loved him and honoured him, so why would I go behind his back and purposely make sure we got pregnant!
'Shit happens..Look, I am keeping this baby. You can be as involved as you want but I am keeping it. I just hope you make the right choice and stay with us, be happy, be the fantastic Father I know you would be. Please just stay…I need you...I love you'
'Bullshit! I want nothing to do with this, you know my feelings! I'm not ready yet'. He picked up his car keys to the Volkswagen Jetta, and began to walk out of the door.
'EDWARD!' I screamed as he walked out of the front door. 'Where are you going? Please, stay!' I begged him, falling to my knees in tears.
'Out of here! Out of this shit town, Bella. I can't take it anymore, this is bullshit! Its over! Me and you are over! I want nothing of this life anymore! I wish I never met you, then none of this would have happened! Tell Carlisle, Esme and Alice I'm sorry' He stared at me the whole time whilst he broke my heart into a million pieces. How could he do this to me..not just me but our unborn child too? He turned away, climbed into the black Volkswagen Jeeta, turned up the radio so he couldn't hear my cries. He looked at me one last time, a tear forming in his eye, as he reversed out of the drive and drove away.
I lay there for what seemed like hours, a pool of tears where I was lying. I slowly stood, ran to my car and left. Running away from mine and Edward's problems. Just like he had done.
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now.
'FUCK YOU!' I screamed at the radio, before looking up at the road. Then it all went black. That was the night everything changed for me, nothing to be the same again. Ever.
