Chapter One : Discoveries
I was in my first period English class when I started to feel sick again. I thought I had been getting over this. The stomach bug was going around school but I thought I would be able to avoid it until Edward got. Then I knew it was only a matter of days before I would get it. However I hadn't puked yet, I only felt somewhat sick in the mornings now instead of all day like I had in the beginning of the week. Since I didn't want to be completely humiliated by puking in front of the entire class I told the teacher I wasn't feeling well and he sent me to the school nurse telling me how he hoped I would feel better soon. I entered the nurse's office and began telling her how I didn't feel well and then she started asking questions.
I was freaking out, how could the school nurse possibly think I was pregnant. Well I mean my answers to her questions did make it sound like I could be. When she questioned who long I had been feeling nauseas for I hadn't even thought it had been that long but my reply was about a week. Then she asked the questioned I hadn't even considered, when did I feel the most sick. Surprisingly, my reply was in the morning. Her next question is what scared me the most: when was the last time I had gotten my period. I was irregular so her question didn't freak me out that much until I answered that it had been about six weeks.
Now that I think back on her questions everything pointed towards pregnancy but I couldn't be. I stopped staring at the stupid test and decided to just take it. The directions on the outside of the box said it only took three minutes for the results. A blue plus sign would appear if I was pregnant and a red negative sign if I wasn't pregnant. Those were the longest three minutes of my life. I silently prayed for a little red negative sign to appear on the test. I decided to peak at the test.
There was a small blue plus sign. I reread the instructions to double check, maybe I had read them wrong the first time. But, no, the little blue plus sign meant I was pregnant. "Holy Shit!!" I said as I stared at the test balancing on the sink of the nurse's private bathroom. No, no, no, no. I can not be pregnant. We were safe every time. Then it hit me. The three weeks with his family in Mexico.
FLASHBACK
We sat there lying on the beach listening to the waves break on the sand in the dark. He looked at me and broke the tension filled silence "I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking we should have been more careful." I looked at him with a smile on my face replying "Don't be. I don't regret anything. Besides, what girl gets pregnant her first time?"
The school nurse knocked on the door but I didn't open it. She came in and saw my tear stained face and realized the pregnancy test she had given me to take had come out positive. I left the bathroom and sat down in her office. We started discussing the different possibilities and then she asked "Do you have a boyfriend, you should probably tell him." Everybody knew about me and Edward she just wanted to check. "Yes, but I am not ready to tell him yet I need some time to think."
Then, Mike Newton strolled into the nurse's office complaining about a stomach ache. He didn't look to good but still acknowledged me "Hey, Bella. You got this stomach thing too?" I didn't even know how to reply but I didn't have to because the next moment he was running towards the bathroom looking like he wouldn't be able to keep his breakfast down.
While Mike was in the bathroom the nurse found a doctor for me to go to in Port Angeles and made me an appointment to meet with him next Thursday. On my way out, the nurse asked "Are you going to tell Charlie?" This freaked me out. I had forgotten about Charlie but when he found out that I was pregnant he was going to kill Edward. I shakily responded that " I would tell Charlie after the appointment on Thursday" even though I really wasn't sure if this was the truth or not. With that the nurse offered for me to go home and I accepted. I needed time to be alone and think things over.
I found Edward at our usual lunch table. I hadn't realized I had been in the nurse's office that long. I told him I still didn't feel well and was going home for the day. He simply nodded while looking down at his shoes for some unknown reason. Then he looked up at me and saw my puffy red eyes and blotchy skin and he knew I had been crying, he didn't know why but still tried to comfort me through his confusion "It will be alright. Do you want to talk about it?" I certainly did not want to tell I was crying because I just found out I was pregnant with his baby, so I simply lied to him and said that " I didn't like being sick because it made fell terrible but I would be better after I got home." I could tell he didn't believe me but he didn't press the issue. I kissed him goodbye and left for home.
Once I got home I curled up in my bed and cried for about an hour. I wasn't supposed to be that small town girl that got pregnant right out of high school and married her boyfriend. I was going places in my life and I knew Edward was too. Would he still want to be with me if I told him about the baby? I decided this was not the right thing to be thinking, first I had to figure out if I wanted to keep the baby. After I thought about it for a while I decided that no matter what happened I wanted to keep my baby. No matter what Edward wanted or did in reaction when I would tell him, no matter what Charlie says or Edward's parents say, this baby was mine and I was going to keep it. I was finally happy about the baby and decided that I would enjoy every minute of this experience no matter how hard it would be.
Then I heard the knock at the front door. I knew it wasn't Charlie because he had told me he would be working late at the station. It wasn't my brother Emmett either because even if he had forgotten his key he knew where the hidden one was. I hadn't even realized the time and when I glanced at the clock it told me it was 4:20. I figured it was probably Edward but I wasn't sure I was ready to talk to him. Would he accept the pregnancy or leave me. Should I even tell him about it yet? The person knocked again and I figured I should at least answer the door.
