So
far I've had a few days to think the situation over, and I've only
come up with a few answers.
One, I was keeping the
baby---definitely.
Two, It was surely Edward's.
Three, I have
no idea how Edward's going to take it.
Lastly, I might as well
shoot myself now, because Charlie will surely do it
anyways...
Somehow, Alice doesn't even know yet...it's weird.
She's impossible to keep secrets from, and this secret is huge. The
way I see it, either she knows and she isn't telling me...which makes
no sense...or she's going to find out...and with my luck, that'll
probably be in the next few minutes.
I was examining my stomach in
the mirror on my closet door, trying to calculate in my mind how long
I could possibly keep this a secret...from Charlie anyways. The
problem was that I had absolutely no experience or knowledge
what-so-ever with baby's. How many months will it take before my
stomach stretches to the point where I have no choice to tell
Charlie...and the world...because clothes can only get so big.
Even
so, the part I was most worried about was how Edward was going to
take the news. He always struck me as the father type. I mean, he's
sensitive, patient, caring. Any kid would be lucky to have him.
Either way though, I don't think he's the type that would be happy
that his human girlfriend is pregnant with his child. Especially when
he wasn't so sure dating me was the best idea in the first place,
because he thought I deserved somebody I could be human with.
Just
wait till he finds out that, somehow, I'm in the middle of one of the
most human experiences possible.
Hopefully he doesn't freak
out...at least not too bad. Edward has a tendency to
over-react.
"Bella Bella Bella! Wake up Bella! Common!"
I
opened my eyes and saw Alice, hovering over me, waking me up from my
cat-nap I was having on my couch.
"Oh. Hi Alice. What's up?"
I yawned.
She was practically jumping ten feet up in the air.
"Goo--great news! Bella! I'm going to be an aunt!"
I
tried to surpress my laughter, "Oh really? Who's having the baby
Alice?"
"You silly!" She gushed, but then bit her
lip and leaned back like I was going to hurt her. Psh.
"Really?
I kind of suspected that..."
"Bella!"
"Alice!
I would appreciate it if you stopped jumping up and down before you
put a hold through my house, and listen the following statement."
She
pouted, but sat down next to me and was ready to listen.
"Okay.
I found out I was pregnant like, three days ago." I explained to
her as I got up to get a glass of water.
"Bella, that is
hardly possible. I watch out for your future whenever I can and only
ten minutes ago I saw you in labor..." She paused and her
features pulled down in concentration, "Except...the oddest
thing is...when you were holding the...baby...it was blurred. It was
like, I wasn't meant to see it or something."
I thought that
over. "Or maybe your just getting old. I hear aging can deflate
some senses" I suggested.
She shot me a look, "hardly so
Bella. Hardly so."
We looked at each other for a second and
started laughing. Then her expression became horrified.
"Alic--"
I
followed her gaze to my front door as I saw it burst open. Nuts,
bolts and wood flying everywhere.
