"Bella, you should tell him . . ." I heard Esme whisper. I nodded.
"Hey, E- Edward." I stumbled on my words. "How have y- you been?"
He took a long time to answer. "Good I guess." He sounded unsure. "Bella, I miss you."
"I miss you too E- Edward." I paused. "I'm pregnant!" I spit out.
Complete silence from him. He hates me. I thought.
"That's . . ."
"You hate me. You hate me! You wish you never married me!" I said sobbing into the phone.
"No! No, Bella! That's great!" He said.
Instantly soft, warm arms were hugging me. I noticed that it was Alice. "Bella, it's okay. Calm down this isn't healthy for the baby."
"Edward, I swear if you don't want to take care of us-" He cut me off.
"What are you talking about Isabella?" He asked in a serious tone. Once he says my full name; he's implying that he's serious. "I love you, and our baby."
My sobs turned into tears of happiness. "Really?" I chocked out.
"Yes. Bella, I wish I was there standing there with you and our baby." He said in a pained voice.
I look around and noticed everyone had vanished, except Alice who had her arms around me. Then something hit me.
"You. . . ." I said with out finishing.
Edward wouldn't be here during all of this.
"Yes?" He asked waiting for me to continue.
"You okay?" I asked.
"Bit tired." He said. "It's late mid night here, but I think I'm too excited to go to sleep." He said.
"Oh, no. Edward go to sleep. You have to rest." I said.
"But I don't know when I'll talk to you again." He said.
My heart squeezed itself tightly; realizing he was right. "Don't worry, honey. I have to go anyways. . . ." I said chocking up again."
"Alright." He said. "I love you, and our baby." He said; which made me smile. "I'll talk to you later, Bella."
"Okay, honey. Good night." I said kissing the air.
He laughed, "Thank you, I love you." He told me.
"I know, I love you too. Bye." I said hanging up before he noticed I was crying.
"You two are the perfect two." Alice said hugging me tighter.
"What am I going to do?" Crying and pulling my hair; closing my eyes tightly.
"Bella! Bella! Calm down, you're hurting yourself."
"I don't care!" I said opening my eyes, looking at her, hands still in my hair.
" . . . . Think about the baby." She whispered.
"I don't want a baby if Edward won't be here!" I said falling on my knees.
"Don't say that Bella. Think about how excited Edward is right now. And all you're doing is hurting yourself and the baby that belongs to you and Edward." She said helping me up.
I stood up but, didn't move. "Bella, if you don't help me here I will call Emmett," She said. "and you don't want that."
I didn't listen. Seconds later Emmett, and Esme were next to me.
"You okay, sweetie?" Esme asked stroking my hair.
I slowly closed my eyes. "No."
. . . . .
"Do you think she'll be okay, Carlisle?" I heard Esme's voice close by. Had I fallen asleep.
"Let's hope." He said in a worried tone.
I sat up, Esme quickly stood up from the chair next to my bed. "Are you feeling better, Bella?" She asked touching my forehead.
"Yes. Hi Carlisle." I said greeting him.
"Hi, Bella. Esme could you leave me alone with Bella for a moment?" Carlisle asked.
Esme looked at me, smiled and nodded. She stood up and walked out the door; closing it softly behind her. When Carlisle was sure Esme had left he faced me and walked towards me.
"Bella, Esme told me that you had a little breakdown. . . ." He didn't continue. I didn't answer. "Well, I know you feel like you're alone, but you're not. You have me, Esme, Alice, Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett. Your mother is always here with you, and I'm sure your father will be here for you." He paused. "But I want to explain to you why you have to control your emotions."
I didn't look into his eyes, I couldn't. I just played with my hands.
"I'm going to be sincere. It can affect your baby and your health." He said in a placid tone. "And a year passes by fast." He stopped and hugged me. "I know you'll this for yourself, the baby and for Edward."
I started tear up and hugged him.
. . . . .
"Hello?" I answered my phone.
"Hey Bella!" Alice's voice came from the other side of the line.
"Hey Alice." I said.
"What are you doing today? I was thinking of going to the mall today, and was wondering if you wanted to come?" She asked hopeful.
"No, sorry. I have my first pregnancy check up today." I said.
"Oh. What about after wards?" She asked.
I thought about it. "Well, the appointment is at nine, and they say the first check up is always long. How about I call you when I'm out?" I asked her.
"Deal. Good luck Bella,"
"Thanks, Alice. Bye."
"Bye Bella!" She said; excited.
I hung up and checked the time. Eight. I still had an hour, I decided to do myself waffles, scrambled eggs and bacon.
After I was done eating I went to rinse off my mouth, grabbed my purse and made my way to my car.
Well little buddy. I thought. Let's go see how things are.
When I arrived, I saw women in many age ranges. Most of them had a man next to their side. I grimaced and made my way inside. I walked towards the front desk.
"Hello," I said to grab the receptionist attention. She looked up and smiled warmly.
"Hello, my name is Clarissa. How may I help you today?" She asked.
"Um, this is my first time here. And I need a check up." I said.
"Ah." She said typing something in her computer.
After a few moments she gave me a clip board. "Okay, you need to sign where it's highlighted. And you need to fill out the questionnaire. When you finish come up and we'll continue." She said smiling.
I nodded and walked towards the waiting room and sat down. It was full with pregnant women.
Name: Isabella M. Cullen - Swan.
Age: 23
After filling all the questions I stood up and walked up to Clarissa. "Oh, you're done." She said running her eyes over the papers. Okay everything seems good. Well now I need you to go to the restroom, and fill this cup." She said, giving me a cup.
"Okay." I said walking towards the restroom.
When I came out of the restroom I saw a young lady crying by the window. I felt sorry for her and walked towards her. "Are you alright?" I asked her.
She looked at me and wiped her tears. "Y-yeah." She paused.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, it's just that . . . ." She didn't continue.
"Yes?" I asked.
She looked around, "I have to go." She said walking away.I starred after her. I walked towards the front desk again, and handed over the cup.
"Thank you." Clarissa said. "Now to see how many weeks in you are in your pregnancy." She said smiling.
