A/N - Hey everyone in the fan fiction world! So, this story has been playing in my mind for a little while, and Ive really wanted to do an all human story for a while so, heres my attempt at one :D
I don't have any personal experience with teen pregnancy, but I'll put it into what I think it would be like, and if anyone wants to give me some advice if I write somethink incorrect, then please feel free to do so :D
Disclaimer - SM owns all the characters :D
My life had officially ended.
And no, I'm not dead, and I'm not dying. But my life has ended for another reason. Because it was just this morning that I found out that my life was about to change forever.
This morning, I found out I was pregnant.
I know what you're all thinking, 'wow, she's pregnant, she must be thrilled', but I'm not. You see, I'm 17 years old, and this baby was definitely not planned to happen any time soon. This baby is the creation of a very stupid party, and a very drunken pair of teens. It all happened about 4 weeks ago...
"Hey Bella, you going to Emmett Cullen's house party tonight??" Jessica's voice really did irritate me, but she was one of my oldest friends, so I learnt to get used to it. We were sat at our usual lunch table with our usual gang of friends, and since 2 weeks ago when this party was announced, everyone has been talking about it non-stop! Emmett Cullen is one of the 3 Cullen boys that go to this school. He's the oldest, and the jock of Forks High School. If you were friends with him, then you were considered 'cool'. Next was Jasper, who was the quietest of the boys, not really interested in all the latest fads, and he was dating Alice, who is one of my bestest friends. Then finally, there was Edward. Edward was a difficult person to sum up. He wasn't a geek, but he wasn't cocky from being popular. In a sentence, he's the type of boy you're parents would love for you to bring home. He's beyond handsome, he's a straight A student, and, the best thing about him, is he has a great personality. As you can probably tell from the description, I've kind of got a little bit of a crush on him.
"Bella!?!" Jessica shouted at me. I was too busy thinking about Edward to really remember what she was on about, and when she noticed the confusion on my face, she repeated her question to me.
"Oh...umm...I'm not sure Jess. My parents have really come down hard on me the past couple of times I've been out. They keep telling me how important my school life is and how I shouldn't be interested in partied and friends, but in my studies. It's totally stupid really!" Jess nodded but turned away and didn't take the discussion any further. The truth was, was that I couldn't stand the fact that Edward always had girls following him and flirting with him. The last party I went to, there must off been at least 10 girls surrounding him at any one time. I admit that I was jealous if another girl even talked to Edward in school. I was always too nervous to ever ask Edward out, because I was afraid he would turn me down or laugh at me for even trying to get someone like him, so my crush on him was a secret from everyone, even Alice, who I told everything to. She was totally in love with Jasper, and they did make a really good couple. She brought out the real Jasper, while he toned her down a little. They've been together for about 3 years now.
As I finished off my food, I stood up and went over to the bin the chuck my rubbish, when all of a sudden I walked straight into a form stood right in front of me. My tray crashed to the floor, and as I bent down to pick all the stuff up, the person who I just bumped into, bumped their head with mine. I stood up quickly and put my hand to my head, when I realized that it was Edward who I had bumped into. I immediately blushed and went back to picking up my stuff. Once everything was on the tray safely, I slowly got up and noticed that Edward was still stood in front of me. He was looking at me with confusion on his face.
"Are you alright?" He asked in his velvet voice. It sent chills down my spine instantly and I remembered I had to answer back.
"Ummm...Yeah, I'm sorry for bumping into you....and for banging heads with you." I said, my cheeks feeling hotter. I looked at him and he smirked a little. He's obviously noticed my flushed skin, which just made me go redder.
"Well, technically, I bumped heads with you, so I'm sorry for that." He said. I smirked as well, and then I noticed that most of my table were watching us.
"I'd better put this in the bin." I said, and as I walked away, he stopped me with his hand. I turned around to see his face looking straight into my eyes.
"It's Bella, isn't it?"
"Yeah, my name is Bella." I smiled slightly as I spoke. This was the first real conversation we were having. He held his hand out to me and I took it and shook it. His hand felt soft and his skin was so hot.
"I'm Edward Cullen." He said. I looked up at him and smiled.
"Yeah, it's pretty hard not to know who you are." He smiled back at me and he showed his perfect white teeth as well. He had an amazingly gorgeous smile. I didn't realize that he hadn't let go of my hand yet, which had stopped shaking and were just in the middle of us.
"Well, Bella, will you be coming to my brother's party tonight?" He asked. I could faintly remember my conversation with Jess, but my mind was made up now.
"Yeah, I'll be there. Hopefully not being as clumsy as now." He laughed softly and after a moment he just stared at me. I quickly let go of his hand, which he realized as well that he was still holding it.
"I'll see you tonight then, Bella." And he turned and walked away. I walked over to the trash can and shoved my rubbish in there, before going and sitting back down at my table. Jessica wouldn't shut up about me and Edward then. She asked me what he wanted, and she was excited that I was going to the party. Lunch moved pretty fast then, and before I knew it, the bell was ringing to signal it had ended.
The rest of the day flew by, with not very much happening. I was still thinking about mine and Edward's conversation, and how he asked me if I was going tonight. Did that mean that he wanted me to be there?
As I drove home from school, I got a text from Alice, who told me she would be round mine later to help me get ready. Alice was out of school today, because she needed to get ready for the party. She never went in when there was a party. As I pulled up to my driveway, my mother was outside the front, tidying up the small garden we have out there. My mother and father were Renee and Charlie Swan. They had been high school sweethearts and when they were 20, they got married and had me not long after. My mother was a kindergarten teacher, and my father was the chief of police for Forks. My mother was home today because the kindergartens had already finished for spring break. This was why Emmett was having this big party, to celebrate the fact that it was Spring Break.
"Hi, Mom." I walked over to her and gave her a hug and a kiss. She got up and wiped her hand across her forehead which was quite sweaty. For the spring time, it was pretty warm for Forks, where it rained almost constantly every day.
"Hey sweetie, how was your last day?" She asked me as she carried her gardening tools into the house.
"It was fine. Just the same really. There's a party tonight at the Cullen house, and I've been invited." This was where she got all parental on me.
"Bella, you know I don't like it when you go to these parties. There's drinking and drugs and all sorts that go on there. I don't know if you should go." Oh no! This wasn't the reaction I was looking for. She was going to ruin my chances with Edward if she didn't let me go.
"Please Mom! I won't drink, and I won't take drugs or anything like that! I promise...please let me go. Alice is going, and so are all the other girls from school." I was practically begging her. She looked at me and huffed, which I knew meant a yes. I squealed and hugged her.
"Thanks Mom! I love you." She hugged me back after a while and went off to sit down in the living room. Not long after Alice came over, and we went up into my room to get ready. She straightened my hair and did my make-up and I picked out my outfit. I wore my skinny jeans, a plain top and a waist coat over the top. Alice really was awesome at picking out outfits and dressing people up.
"So Bella, anything happen at school today that I missed?" She asked me as I was getting dressed. I immediately told her about my encounter with Edward and how he asked me if I was going tonight. We must of talked for about half an hour, because it was already 6:45pm, and it was time to leave for the party. We walked down the stairs as quietly as we could, trying not to disturb my father, who would ask us a load of questions about where we were going and who it was. He always went 'police man' and me whenever I went out. But, I tripped on the last step and fell straight into the wall, which made my Dad look around at us.
"Bella, where are you going?" He asked in a calm voice. I looked at Alice and she shrugged.
"Ummm...me and Alice are going to a party Dad." I said, and he immediately got up and walked over to us. Oh no, here he goes!
"A party? And where exactly is this party?" He asked curiously.
"At the Cullen place, it's for Spring Break. Mom's already said I can go so..." I smiled at him, but he still had a sort of confused look on his face. Thankfully, my Mom came in and explained to my Dad and told us to go.
When we arrived at the Cullen house, there were already loads of people there. I think the whole year was invited and also some other kids from lower years. I walked in and saw Emmett straight away with his girlfriend, Rosalie, who was the same age but she was out of school to me a full time model. She was beautiful with blonde hair, blue eyes and a stunning figure. Most people were jealous of her, but I'd known her since we were little, and I knew that she was such a sweet person underneath. I smiled at her and she waved in mine and Alice's direction. Emmett waved also and he carried on talking to a group of people surrounding him. As we walked through we saw Jasper, who was sat in a corner on his own. When he saw Alice, his eyes lit up and he walked over to us and gave her a kiss. They really were a cute couple. I left them to it and started walking over to the table filled with all the alcoholic drinks you could think of. I poured myself some vodka and coke and went to mingle around the house. I bumped into Jessica and some of the other's from the gang, and I made light conversation with them all. When I got into the living area, I saw Edward, who, as I predicted, was surrounded by a bunch of girls who really looked all slutty and skanky. He looked over and saw me and smiled and waved. I smiled back and waved, just being happy that I he still remembered who I was.
The night went on alright, and I ended up going back and forth to the drinks table and filling my cup up every time with vodka and coke. When I made my 7th or 8th stop to the table, I saw Edward and I knew I was drunk. I stumbled over and stood next to him. He looked still quite sober as I tapped him on the shoulder and he turned and looked at me. He smiled when I saw him and I randomly giggled.
"Hi Edward. This party is awesome!" I slurred my words and he laughed at me.
"How much have you had to drink Bella?" He asked.
"Only a couple glasses of vodka and coke, that's all Edward. I'm not drunk, I just feel funny." As soon as I said that, I told him I needed to use the bathroom and I stumbled up the stairs. I didn't know where the main bathroom was, so I just used one in a bedroom which looked like a guest room. When I stepped out of the bathroom, I saw Edward sat on the bed.
"This isn't your room is it? I thought it was a guest room and I couldn't find the main bathroom." I started talking really fast.
"No Bella, this isn't my room, don't worry. I keep my room locked when we have parties. I just came up to make sure you were alright, that's all." He stood up and walked over to me. I don't know why I did what happened next, but I had a sudden rush of braveness and I just took the opportunity. I kissed Edward straight on the lips, with no hesitation. As soon as I back away, he grabbed my neck and pulled me to him, and he kissed me back. It was a very passionate kiss, but I wasn't complaining. He picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. I ran my hands threw his messy bronze coloured hair and he groaned in my mouth. He put me down on the bed and we continued kissing. It felt so right, and all I could think about was how much I really liked Edward Cullen.
So, that's what happened on that night. After that night, me and Edward actually got closer and we got to know each other more and more. He told me about his life, his loves and his interests, and I shared mine with him. Our relationship grew even when we went back to school, and on the third week, we started holding hands around school and we sat together at lunch. Everything was just going perfectly, until this morning. I was meant to be on my period 5 days ago, and I'm pretty accurate with it, never go over at least 2 days, and so I was starting to think that there was something wrong. I tried to re-calculate the days and it all added up, I was definitely late. Then, that was when I remember the night with Edward. We were both too caught up in the moment to even realize that we didn't use any protection. I wasn't on birth control either, because I didn't see the reason to go on it when I wasn't having sex. As soon as I remembered that, I started to panic. I couldn't be pregnant, could I? I mean, this couldn't be happening to me! I was only 17; I was still a child myself. What would Edward think? He would probably bail on me and just say it wasn't his. And my parents, they would kill me! My Dad especially, he would also kill Edward for doing this to me. I needed to find out, I needed to be sure if I was pregnant or not. I got ready quickly for school and I headed out 20 minutes earlier than normal so I could stop at the Pharmacy. I didn't need to worry about my parents in the mornings, because they were always gone before I was downstairs. I went into the Pharmacy and bought 4 pregnancy tests. I had to make sure I wasn't just showing up pregnant on the first one and then not pregnant on the second one. I decided to go over to Alice's to do them. I needed my best friend with me. I knocked the door and Alice's Mom answered. She told me Alice was in her room, so I went up and knocked on the door.
"Hey, Bella, what are you doing here?" She asked with a confused expression. I walked in and she closed the door.
"Alice, I need to tell you something. Please, don't freak out or anything, because I'm really scared." Her expression changed to worry now.
"What's happened Bells? You can tell me anything!" I took a deep breath in and out and looked at her.
"I think...I might possibly be...pregnant." She was about to scream, but I covered her mouth with my hand. After 5 minutes, I let go and she looked shocked.
"BELLA! How can you be pregnant? Who's is it? When did you find out? How far along are you?" Okay, maybe I shouldn't of come over to Alice's first.
"Alice, I told you not to freak out. I'm already crapping myself without you completely losing it. I bought a bunch of pregnancy tests, and I wanted my best friend here when I found out." She didn't say no more and she ushered me into the bathroom. After a couple of minutes, I came out and I had the 4 pregnancy tests in my hand.
"Well, what does it say?" Alice asked.
"Pregnant, pregnant, pregnant and pregnant. ALL PREGNANT!" I shouted as I threw the pregnancy tests on the floor one by one. I lost it. I was pregnant. There was no hiding from it, and it was most definitely positive. Alice ran over to me and she hugged me tightly. I cried my eyes out then. I was so scared and worried and frightened. This was really happening. After about 10 minutes, Alice let me go and looked me in the eyes.
"Don't worry Bella. I'll be with you all the way, I won't leave you. Whatever decisions you make, I'll be right there with you, sweetie. And, I think you need to tell Edward, and soon." I knew Edward had to know, but I just didn't want to tell him. I was already falling for him, and after he heard this, he was going to be gone and out of my life forever. But, I had to do the right thing now. I nodded to Alice and she told me she would see me at school afterwards.
As soon as I got into my car, I sorted out my face, making sure no signs of redness or puffiness were showing threw, and I made my way to school.
This was the end of my normal, teenage life. In 9 months, I was going to have a baby, my baby. It would be my son or daughter.
My life has officially ended!
