"Bella," I heard my father, Charlie,says as he shakes me out of my deep sleep. I sigh,"go away." I heard ruff laughter as the bed shook. "I have presents," he said trying to convince me to get up. Jokes on you Charlie, it didn't work."I don't want presents,"I mumbled. "Fine." Did I really win? That was fast. "I'll just tell your boy, Edward, to go home," I shot up. "Edward?" I looked at my dad, he had a smirk. "Dang Bells, I'll have to use that later," he said as I glared at him. "You're a mean old man,"I grumbled. "Ha - funny," he said, his voice full of sarcasm. "Here, your mother bought the two dollar scrap-book, I bought the fifty dollar camera," he said with a winning smile.
I let out a light laugh as I took the bow of the top of the camera,"pink, huh?" I smiled. "Yeah, it was your mothers idea," he said biting his lip, he was obviously where I got that from. "I bet. I love it, thanks," I said as I leaned in to hug him. I leaned away after and felt a sudden lurch in my stomach. "I don't feel well," I managed to say before I ran to the bathroom, emptying my insides. "Bells,"I heard from outside the door."I-I'm fine, Dad," I stuttered. "Are you sure?" He asked, worried. Silence fell, I couldn't answer like this.
There was a knock on the door. "Dad, I'm fine." "It's Edward,"I heard a silk voice whisper. "Don't come in,"I panicked. "Bella, calm down," he said as he walked in and closed the door lightly. He walked over to me and held back my hair. "I-i'm really-" I started to say but was rudely interrupted by my stomach. "Shh," he whispered as he stroked my hair with his other hand. "I..I think i'm done." I said as I backed away from the toilet.
"Are you okay?" Charlie asked once I was downstairs. "Yeah, I must of caught a cold..or something," I said choosing my words carefully. "Okay, Bella. Tell me if you don't feel well, you can stay home if you like." I sighed, "it's fine, if I feel bad, Edward will drive me home," I said reassuring him. "Okay, okay, i've got to get to work," he kissed my cheek and walked out the door toward his cruiser. "Do you want me to drive you, or do you want to take your truck?" Edward asked, walking down the stairs. "I'll just drive me truck, i'm fine," I said. "That wasn't really a question.." He bit his lip. "I'll get Alice to drive your truck, i'll drive you." I sighed,"fine."
"Bella, we have to tell him," Edward said breaking the much wanted silence. "Can't we wait?" I said as I flinched. "For nine months," I mumbled. "What's going to happen when your dad notices that your flu hasn't gone away for weeks, hmm?" He said a little to harsh, my eyes teared up,"i don't know." My voice broke. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that harsh.." He trailed off as he took my hand and held it, I sniffed. He lifted the back of his finger to wipe my tears. "I'm scared, Edward! I didn't even know this could happen, I should of! After all, i'm human," I said, crying harder for each word. "I know, i've been through so much school.. I should have considered it.." He trailed off again. "Let's not talk about it," I said wiping my tears. "I need a normal day."
"Bella!" Alice yelled as I walked with Edward from the car. "I'm so excited! I can't believe you're having a -" She completely silenced. "I'm so sorry," she said, a sad look mixed with regret on her face. "What?" I asked confused. "Alice, why don't you stay with Bella.. i'll be back.." Edward said as he disapeared from behind me and was back in a second. "What was that about?" I asked ever more confused then before. "Nothing, don't worry about it." The bell rang. "Let's go, we'll be late," Edward said with a discusted look on his face as he led me to the school.
