I just want to hear what you think and hopfully you like it enough to review it. Even if you only like a part of it thats fine to review on just that part. Thank you again!
"I can't believe this is happening to me," I said as I stared down at the test, sliding through my fingers. I never thought I would be the first girl in my class to get pregnant at 16. I touched my stomach and sat on my bed. I decided maybe it was a good idea to call Edward.
"Hello," Edward said, hesitantly.
"I think you should come over. I really need to talk to you," I said, scared, shaking, and terrified about the whole situation. I stared at the wall waiting for his answer. It felt like centuries before he finally said anything.
"Okay, I'll be right over." That's when I knew this was real. I put my hair into a ponytail and went down the stairs to sit in the living room. My father was at work. I knew how he was going to react. After my mom left and he was left alone to raise me and my older brother I think he just decided that all mistakes were bad and well this is going to be a big one. I heard the knock on the door before Edward opened it and let himself in.
"Bella, are you in here," he asked.
"Yah. I'm in here," I called out to him. He came in and sat beside me, staring at my stomach. Its almost like I could see his thoughts. How could I be so stupid. That is exactly what he was thinking. I didn't know I was speaking before it was out, " I want to keep the baby." He just stared at me even more.
"I do too, Bella, but your 16 and I'm 17. This will never work. I think the best thing is to, well, just take care of it before it's too late." I couldn't believe what he was saying. I stood up, put my hand on my stomach, and glared at him.
"What are you saying? That I should kill a human being because you think were to young to take care of it! I love my baby. Yes I said it, and I am sure as hell not going to get an abortion. Now if you think that way then just leave me alone, because I will not kill my child." He looked at me for a second and stood up.
"Then were through. I can't have a baby and mess up my hockey scholarship." He walked out the door and I started to cry. I thought of all the time we had talked about having kids and settling down. My dad came home an hour later. I was still sitting on the couch.
"What's the matter, sweetie," Dad said in a very concerned voice.
"I'm pregnant," I whispered. He looked at me as if I hadn't said a word. Then he looked confused.
" Wait, what's the matter?"
"DAD! I'm pregnant! I know it was stupid to not use protection, but I loved him!." I sat back down and cried. My dad wrapped his arms around me and calmed me down.
"Bella I'm not saying it was a good choice, but it will be okay. I promise. So I'm going to be a grandpa at 39. Oh well, I will still love you no matter what." I laughed a little bit and smiled. "Sweetie, did you think about your options yet?"
" I do not want an abortion. Edward came over and I told him. He said it would be easier, but Dad I couldn't live with myself. I want to keep the baby. I know there is a adoption, but I want to raise my own child." I said it as fast as I could, hoping my father would give it some consideration.
" You know it will be a lot of work being a single mother, going to school, and working a job right?"
"Yes. Thank you so much Dad. I don't know what I would do without you."
"I can think of one thing." I looked at my father with a puzzled look. "You have to tell Xavier." I froze in my spot. I really wasn't looking forward to telling my older brother. He is way to protective of me. Just as I was going to leave to go upstairs the front door opened up.
"Hey little sister," Xavier said. I took a deep breath.
"I'm pregnant," I yelled down the stairs. I ran up them as fast as I could. A few minutes later Xavier was in my room.
"You dirty little whore!"
"It was my first time!"
"Yah okay that is what everyone says! I thought I could trust you with that boy. I hope he never comes around here again."
" He wont. Were not together anymore, and we will never be back together."
"Good, well I'm sorry. I just I never thought you would be that girl."
" I know, but it happened. Dad is going to make me a doctors appointment before diner." He just walked to his room and called his girlfriend. I knew he wouldn't take the news well, but he's still my brother and I hope he comes around. The next day came and I went to school. I sat in my first period class staring out the window. It was March. It's been two months since we had sex. I didn't realize that my best friend, Leah, was trying to get my attention.
"Bella. Pssst! BELLA! What is going on with you," Leah asked. I wasn't sure if I could tell her yet. She would be so disappointed in me.
" Can I tell you something Leah," I asked her. She nodded her head and I continued, "I'm having a baby." She stared at me and then she stood up and cheered. "Leah sit down!" I was shocked by this.
" Can I be the godmother?"
"Yes, of course you can!" I started to cry knowing that they were excepting it. The bell rang and my stomach dropped. I had English next, and Edward is my partner on our Shakespeare project. I got into class and there sat Edward at his normal seat. I wasn't sure if I should go back there, but he waved me over,
"Bella, I don't want to hurt your feelings, but I switched with someone else. You'll be working with Jake." I looked over and saw him. Jake was beautiful. He had medium black hair, straightened, and eyes the color of an ice storm. He watched me as I walked across the room.
" Your really pretty, just saying," Jake stated as I sat down. I looked at him and thought to myself well take a good look because this isn't going to last. I sat down and I looked at my hands. He talked about our project. For someone who is so hot, he can sure talk a lot. At the end of the period I got called to the office. As I walked in I saw my Dad.
"The doctor said she had a cancellation today, so the desk scheduled you for today," He said looking at me the whole time.
"Will she be back later," the office lady asked.
"No, but I'll have her get a note from the doctor." The car ride there was quiet. I never thought me and my Dad could be so quiet in a car. When we got there I took a deep breath and got out of the car. "Are you ready for this Bella?"
"As ready as I'll ever be," I said, as I walked towards the door of the office. Camellia told my father to fill some forms out and the doctor would be in to see me soon. I sat down and felt a chill go up my spin. I never thought I would be in a place like this at my age.
"Isbella Swan," Camellia called out my name. I felt like I was being called for death row. The room was white and had pictures of the embryos growing and a labor simulation tool. When Dr. Strait came in she was a smiling.
"Hi Bella. You have gotten so big, Did you father tell you that I delivered both you and your brother," she said. My heart was pounding. "Well lets take a look with an ultrasound to make sure you really are pregnant." I sat there as she started to get everything. As soon as I saw my baby my heart stopped for a second. "Well you are going to have a baby Bella. I would say you're a little of 8 weeks. I'm going to look at little more to see if I can estimate your due date." My father held my hand and I watched as a smile creped across his face. After a couple minutes I got anxious.
"When am I due Dr. Strait?"
" I would say late October, maybe early November." I walked out of the office with a smile on my face. That was until we pulled into the place I worked at.
"Dad what are we doing here," I asked him, not wanting to buy my prenatal pills here.
"Bella their going to find out sooner or later. Now come on," he said jokingly. I got to a line, ready to check out. I saw Jessica before I knew I was in her line.
"Hey girly," Jessica said, she looked down. Her eyes grew wide. "Who are these for?" I tried to make a joke.
"Sasquatch. Ha, ha. No, they are for me."
" Really? I am so happy for you. When are you due?"
"Well I'm only about 8 weeks so they weren't sure, but she told me late October to early November." She shut her light out and came around to hug me.
" If you ever need anything let me know." I smiled, purchased the pills, and went home. I ran upstairs when I got home to check my phone. I had four missed calls and three messages. The first one was from Leah.
"BELLA! Oh my gosh I was so shocked this morning when you told me. I thought you would at least have your phone on you today. I am so excited and I will stand by you through everything. I just really wanted to tell you that people know at school. Edward was being cocky and told that thug, oh what's his name, Mike that he knocked you up. I wanted to punch him. Well I will talk to you later. Bye!" The next one was from Xavier.
"Hey. When are you and dad coming home tonight. I want pizza for dinner. If you order ill pick it up. Okay. Love you." After the word pizza I started to gag. I ran to the bathroom and threw up. It felt like I was in there forever. I walked back into my room, washing my face, and hating the idea of morning sickness. I looked at my phone again and saw my last message. It was from my mother. I haven't seen her in three years.
"Bella, this is your mother. I know I haven't made time to see you, but I heard from your brother last night. I want to let you know that I will be here for you. Me and your stepfather love you very much, and if you would like you can come stay with us for a week or so over the summer. I love you. Bye." I started to cry. I never thought in the last three years that I would ever see my mom again. I ignored the last message, it was from Edward.
"Bella your brothers home. He's yelling something about pizza," Dad sounded confused, but at the word of pizza I flew to the bathroom again. Three weeks went by and the morning sickness got worse. I kept thinking to myself if we get through this in the end we will have a baby. Everyday went by in the same way. School, work, home, shower, and then bed. One day in English,Jake decided he was going to flirt.
"So how you doing," he asked.
"Fine. Now what play are we doing again," I tried to ask, but he put his hand over my mouth.
"Don't speak." I raised my eyebrows at him. I was confused and shocked when I heard him say that. He leaned in to kiss me, and has his lips almost touched mine I started to gag. I ran away just in time. I came out of the bathroom and there Jake stood. "What's the matter?"
"I don't want to get into it." I tried to walk away. He grabbed my hand.
" Bella, I wanted to ask you something. Is it true your having a baby?" I started to tear up. I couldn't think of what to say, but I guess that answered his question. He left me standing there with a confused look on his face. After school got out I went home and thought about everything. I really liked Jake, but I am 16 and I'm having a baby. I really want to be with him. I just want to be his everything. As I thought some more I feel into a deep sleep. I woke up to a orange sunrise coming in through my window. The light made everything look dazzling. It was very odd to see a sunrise here, but when you did it was magical. I made my way to the bathroom to take a shower. Just as I was about to go into the shower my phone went off. It was Jake.
"Hello," I answered.
"I am so sorry I ran off yesterday," He said, worrying about me. It felt so nice to know that someone worried about me.
"It's fine. I didn't think anything would work out. You wouldn't want to be with someone who was pregnant. I totally understand."
"Can I come over?"
"Yes." I got a quick shower and got dressed. As I was walking back into my room, I heard the door knock. Xavier answered and let him up to my room. He stopped, looked at me, and right then and there kissed me with such much fire I thought my veins would burn up. " What was that about?" I asked already knowing what it was about.
"I love you so much Bella. I have since we were younger. I couldn't stand watching yourself throw away your life with Edward. I want to be with you forever. Please, please be mine." I just sat there like a fool, crying. He looked at me with so much compassion and asked me, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing is wrong, Jake. I love you, too. I want you to be mine. I am so happy."
"Good, I thought for a second that I wasn't what you wanted. I was just about to go do something that you probably wouldn't like me to do." He showed me his wrists and I started to cry again. I knew how he felt and I showed him my scars too.
"Jake, promise me that you'll never do that ever again. I know how hard it is to stop and how well it works for awhile, but in the long run it can only do harm."
"I promise. For you and your baby. I want to be the best boyfriend, husband, and father I can be. Even though its not my baby." He brought a ring box out and slide the ring on my finger. "It has been in my family for generations. It fits like a charm. Even if someday we have to get it resized it will be okay."
"Yes, I will be yours for ever and ever, but just put the ring on alread." He laughed and we stayed home all day and talked for hours.
