Here is the second chapter for my new story. I hope you like it. J
The tests.
It has been four weeks since the embryo was implanted and I still haven't done the tests. Dr White said I could do it after a week but Rose didn't want to have a faulty test. I'm still staying with Rose and Edward but will be going home tomorrow when we know if I am pregnant or not.
Emmett, Tanya, Alice, Jasper and they boys are coming over for dinner and should be here in about ten minutes. It's sort of like a finding out party and I just hope that I am because Rose is stressing out over dinner and wont let me help.
She insisted that I stay on the chair with my water and just talk to her so she isn't so lonely. She is cooking spaghetti bolognaise because it is what everyone likes and even the boys will enjoy it. I have only been drinking water and tea since the implantation because I want to give them a healthy baby.
"I'm going to get changed then you can when I get back down. Okay?" I asked and she nodded. I walked upstairs and went into the guest room that has been changed into my room for the duration o the pregnancy. When I'm five months I am going to be moving in here until the baby arrives then I'm going back home and relaxing. That is if there is a baby.
I changed into my dark blue dress that Rose brought me. It came to just above the knee and had three quarter length sleeves. I put on my matching blue flat and let my hair down from the bun it has been in all day. I added some eye liner, lip gloss and a few squirts of my favourite perfume before leaving.
Rose actually let me watch the dinner whilst she got ready. As I was stirring the sauce Edward came in.
"Hello Bells." He said coming over to kiss my cheek. "You smell really nice by the way." I think my heart stopped when he kissed me cheek and my cheeks got really hot when he said I smell nice. I looked down and turned back to the sauce to hide my blush.
"Hey." I replied.
"I'm going to get ready. Will you be okay?" I nodded and he made his way up to his room.
After about five minutes there was a knock at the door. I went to answer it but Rose shouted she would answer on her way down the stairs. I slowly made my way into the living room where everyone was greeting each other. Jake and Jay were the first ones to see me and they came running over. I bent down and gave them a big hug each.
"Aunty Belly." They chorused. They picked up Emmett's nickname when they first learned to talk and it just sticked.
"Hey boys. How are you?" I asked still at their level. They both smiled real big at me.
"We went to the park with daddy and fed the duckies." Jake told me. I smiled at his cute little voice.
"Did you?"
"Yeah and we 'ad ice cream." Jay added.
"And where is mine?" I asked in mock hurt.
"In here." They both said and pointed to their tummies. I laughed and gave them both kisses before standing back up and walking over to the adults.
By this time Edward had also joined us and they were all staring at me.
"What?" I asked feeling really self conscious.
"Nothing. Don't worry." Emmett told me, pulling me in for a gentle hug. I hugged him back before pulling away and greeting everyone else.
After the pleasantries were out the way the adults went into the kitchen and the boys stayed in the living room playing with the toys they brought with them. I decided to stay with the boys.
I sat on the floor and the boys sat in front of me telling me about their day.
"I saw some birdies and I went 'raw' and they all flew away." Jay said.
"I did too." Jake butted in.
"Then I went on the swings." Jay.
"And I went on the slide." Jake.
"Then the round-about." Jay.
"Then the see-saw." Jake.
"I went on that with him." Jay.
"Then daddy took us to the field and we played with the ball." Jake.
"That sound like so much fun. Can I come next time?" I asked. Their little faces lit up and they nodded their heads yes so fast I thought they would get motion sickness.
Once they stopped nodding they asked me to read to them and I said I would so they gave me their book and sat their watching my every move. I read them The Jungle Book. The said the lines they knew with me and also did sounds of the animals. It was so cute.
"Guys, dinner is ready." Jasper told us coming in the room. The boys stood up then helped me up. Such gentle men already. Jake held my left hand while Jay held my right. We walked in to the dining room and took our seats. Well I did while the adults were getting drinks and the boys were begging Alice to let them sit next to me. They won. So I had Jay on my left and Jake on my right.
"Bells? Drink?" Edward asked.
"It's okay. I'll get it." I said getting up.
"No. Sit down. What would you like to drink?" He asked me again.
"Water? I asked. He nodded and walked back into the kitchen.
I feel so bad about this. I am perfectly capable of getting my own drink but everyone is babying me. I will be glad to go home tomorrow. Sure I will miss the company as Emmett will be at work, where as I work from home as a columnist and get emailed everything.
Dinner was filled with small talk about everyone's jobs and little things like that. I didn't really talk but would catch Rose's little smiles my way and I would return them.
Once dinner was over we all went into the living room with wine or coffee - or in my case water - and carried on with our conversations. I sat on the floor again with Jay and Jake's head on my lap, stroking their hair. Rose, Edward and Alice was on one sofa and Emmett, Tanya and Jasper were on the other. There was a chair but I wanted to sit with the little ones so they don't feel left out.
About an hour after dinner Jake's and Jay's little snores were becoming present as they feel asleep. I was stroking their golden hair with a content smile on my face when I looked up at everyone.
They were all looking at me and the feeling of self consciousness from earlier came back.
"What? Have I got something on my face?" I asked and ran my hand over my face.
"No." Tanya assured me.
"What then?" I asked everyone.
"We were just saying you are going to be a great mum one day.?" Edward informed me. I smiled and looked down trying to hide my blush mumbling a 'Thanks'.
"Bells?" Rose asked. I looked up at her.
"Yeah?"
"Me and Edward just wanted to know if you would, maybe, do the tests now?" She asked shyly.
"Of course. Can someone hand me two pillows please?" I asked. Jasper handed me two pillows and I put one under Jake's head and the other under Jay's before getting up.
I gave them all one last smile before I made my way up stairs and into the bathroom. I got out the pregnancy tests and took all three before putting them one the counter. I slid down the door and put my head in my hands.
What if they are negative? I don't know what I will do if I'm not pregnant and can't give them the one thing they desire most. I could feel the tears prinking in my eyes thinking about it. If I'm not will they want me to try again? I will of course, but would they ask that of me again?
But what if they are all positive and I am pregnant? In about five months I will be the size of a house. My body will be stretched forever and I will probably never get my figure back. My boobs will get bigger and start to hurt. Have I made the right choice? I mean they didn't even ask me to do it, I just said I would and there was no way they could stop me. What if they didn't want it to be me? They did want someone close but Alice and Jasper were coming round to the idea of them doing it. Have I made the biggest mistake ever?
The tears were now flowing freely but I didn't have it in me to stop them or even wipe them away. I didn't even know the result yet and I was already in tears. I looked at the clock to find only two minutes have gone and I have to wait another minute for find out the fate of myself, Rose and Edward.
I just sat for the last minute crying to calm myself again because if I go down in this state they will think the worst. I got up and looked in the mirror. My eyes were red and swollen from crying. I splashed my face with some cold water and that reducer the red from my eyes.
After the minute was up I took a deep breath and walked over to the tests. I picked up the first one and flipped it over. I nearly chocked when I seen the result.
'Positive.'
I got the next one and looked at that one to. Another tear ran down my face.
'Positive.'
I picked up the last one a let out a sob.
'Positive.'
I sunk back down to the floor and let the tears come again. I was pregnant and now there was no going back. Now I have to go and tell everyone I know and love that I am pregnant with my best friends baby. The best thing is that I love the father and he will never love me back.
I got of the floor and opened the door. I picked up the tests and made my way downstairs. Everyone went silent and looked at me. I scanned the room and noticed that Tanya wasn't here. I focused on Rose and as she looked my face she let out a sob, burring her face in Edwards chest. Probably thinking I wasn't pregnant because I had been drying. If only she knew.
"Congratulations." I said. Rose's head shot up and she looked at me.
"What?" She chocked out through her tears.
"I'm pregnant." As I said that her whole face lit up and she pulled Edwards face down kissing him passionately. I had to look away so I looked over to Alice. She and Jasper were also giving each other sweet little kisses so I turned to Emmett.
He stood up and came over to me, taking me into his arms. I love my big brother. Always knowing what I want and at this moment in time I just want to be hugged and comforted.
"Congrats." He whispered in my ear.
"It's not my baby, Emmy." I whispered back, still not letting go of him.
"I know. But your still preggers Bell." He chuckled. Only Emmett can make a joke out of this type of situation.
When we pulled away I was taken in to Rose's arms.
"Thanks you so much." She cried in my ear. I hugged her harder as the tears came back some more.
"It's okay. I will just be the favourite aunty." I giggled.
"Of course you will Bells." She told me before letting go.
This time Edward came and pulled me into his arms.
"How can I repay you for doing this for us?" He asked.
"Look after this baby." I replied pulling away. Edward and Rose started kissing again and I walked over to Alice.
"Yay. Aunty Alice." She giggled. I couldn't help but smile at her enthusiasm.
"Yeah, well, I will be favourite." I gloated. She turned to me and pouted before smiling and pulling me into a hug.
"We have to go shopping." Alice said bouncing up and down whilst clapping. I let out a groan and she turned to me. "Please Bella. Your boobs are gong to get huge and we have to get bigger clothes for you. And Rose will need to get baby stuff and it will be so much fun." She ranted. I patted her shoulder.
"Okay Ally, but in a few months. Let me wear out the cloths a I already have before I get to big for them." She nodded and went into the kitchen.
"You are so brave Bella." Jasper said. I gave him a confused look.
"What do you mean?" I asked looking around the room and finding out that me, Jazz and the boys are the only ones here.
"You are having a baby for someone else."
"So?" I asked. Still not getting where this is going.
"What I am saying is that you are the strongest and most self-less person that I know. You are going to have a baby for someone else. Your body is going to change and at the end you don't get anything in return."
I looked at my hands in my lap. I never thought about it that way. My body is being stretched and changed for what? Nothing. Well that isn't technically true. I am doing this for the happiness of two of the closest people in my life.
"I am getting something out of this though, Jasper." This time he gave me the confused look.
"What?"
"The happiness of Edward and Rose. That is the most important thing to me, Jazz. I want everyone to be happy. I love you guys and would give you all the world. Hell, if you wanted another one I would carry it too." He smiled at me and shook his head.
"You sure are one of a kind, Bella." He kissed my forehead and followed Alice into the kitchen
I let out a sigh and walked back to the boys. They were still sleeping peacefully. I sat back down on the floor and put their heads back on my lap. The didn't wake but they both let out a content sigh at the same time as I began to play with their hair.
I lent my head back onto the chair I was leaning on and shut my eyes. It has been such a long day. My eyes were hurting from all they crying I had been doing and I also had a headache. The cheers coming from the kitchen weren't helping. I don't mind thought because they have every right to be happy.
What do I have though? I am carrying the child of the man I love and he doesn't even know how I feel about him. I won't be able to date or drink or doing anyhting for at least a year. Once this baby is born Rose and Edward will be busy and Alice and Jazz already have the boys so I wont see any of them as often. Emmett and Tanya are happy and I don't think he wants to live with his sister anymore so I will be all alone.
But the funny thing is I can't find it in me to care. Just the idea of making the ones I love happy is enough to give me a life time of joy. So what if I end up alone, my friends wont and that is all that matters.
I let out a happy sight and fell asleep with a smile on my face.
Okay. So here is the second chapter to this story. Sorry if it is quite at the minute but it will get better I promise. I just wanted to get the whole finding out thing out of the way. Next chapter will be on soon.
Thanks for reading and I would love it if you reviewed.
Thanks again.
