1Bella looked between Alice and Edward, bewildered. "Pregnant, no, I can't, no!" she said.
"Bella, it's going to be ok" said Edward.
"I am afraid it's not, Edward. I always told myself I wasn't going to be one of these girls who rushes major things...and having a baby is major thing!" she said, hysterical.
"This is all my fault" said Edward, putting his head in his hands.
"No, this is my fault. I should never have trusted Jack" she said. Bella sat up. "Well, when are we going to find out? Should we get a test or go see Carlisle?" asked Bella. "I think we should get a test. After all, pregnancy isn't really his field" said Edward. So, that is what happened. They bought a test and took it. Bella, Edward, and Alice sat in Bella's room, waiting. Bella's heart was beating hard against her chest. Edward looked nervous too. "It's been ten minutes" said Alice, halfway there. "I can't look" said Bella, holding the test in her hand. "Here, let me see" said Alice. She observed it. "Well, do you want to know" she asked Bella. "Ok" said Bella, releasing a deep breath and inhaling another one. "You're pregnant" cried Alice. At least someone was exited about this. "Let me see it" said Bella, snatching it out of Alice's hands. Yes, she was pregnant. "Ok, we can do this" said Bella after a minute of silence. "Oh course it will be, love." said Edward, with a slight smile. "Wow.. I am going to have a baby" said Bella, placing a hand on her stomach. "I love babies" Alice said, pure joy in her eyes. Bella just laughed.
Later, Edward and Bella were alone in his room. "Bella, do you think we could talk about the baby" he said. a little nervous. "Ok" she said. There was a bit of silence. "Edward" Bella blurted out. He looked up. "Are you going to be there for me and the baby. I mean I know this isn't your baby but, I...can't...don't" she managed to say as she began to cry. "Bella" he said, looking into her eyes. "I am never going to leave you. As for the baby, I will help you raise it like I was it's own father. Bella, this baby is a blessing." he said. "Thank you" she said, smiling through her tears. "Now, what about telling Carlisle and Esme..and Charlie" he asked, a bit cautious. "Well, the sooner the better" she said. "tonight?" he asked "Yes" she said. Carlisle and Esme were thrilled. "Oh this is great, Bella" said Esme, looking at her fondly. "I am so glad" said Bella. The next part was the hardest. "Your what?" asked a confused Charlie. "Pregnant..I am pregnant" said Bella. "I don't..I can't..Bella, this is a shock" he said. "I just need some space" he said, walking away. Bella was hurt but, Edward said he would come around. "Well, I hope it's soon because like it or not, there is going to be a baby" said Bella. Edward chuckled. "Yes, a baby" he said. "A baby, a real baby...oh my god!" she said, getting all worked up. "It will all be fine. You will be a wonderful mother" comforted Edward. "I hope so" said a unsure Bella.
The first two or three months went by easily. Both Edward and Bella started to get used to the idea of a baby. Charlie did not, though. "Bella, I need to talk to you, now" he shouted up the stairs one night. She ran down to stairs to where he was sitting in the kitchen. "I have been thinking about this whole baby thing." he said. Bella nodded. "And I think you..we should put the baby up for adoption" he finished. "No, I can't do that" said Bella, slightly startled by his abrupt statement. Charlie's face started to get red. "Yes you can, Isabella, or you can get out of my house!" he yelled. "Then, I will" she shouted, as she ran up the steps. She grabbed her suitcase and filled it with every item of clothing she could find. She started toward the door. She look at Charlie, his arms crossed and face as red as a beet. "I will be back for the rest of my things" she said, anger in her voice. "You don't have to leave, just give up that baby" he said. "I will not be giving up my baby." she said and walked out the door. She started to drive, fast. It was raining outside and another kind of storm started up in the cab of the truck. Bella was crying so hard she couldn't tell where she was going. She suddenly lost control of the car and blacked out. She woke up to the harsh white light of a hospital. She could he her heartbeat at a regular speed and feel a IV in her arm. As she came to, she saw her angel's face. "Bella! You gave us such a scare!" he said, kissing her. "Did you find me?" she asked, disoriented. "Yes, me and Alice...she had a vision about the fight and your.. crash" he said. "What were you thinking?" he asked, suddenly furious. "Charlie...he wanted to put the baby.." she trailed off. All of a sudden she had a frightening thought. "The baby! How is the baby?" she asked, almost too scared to ask. "She is fine" he said stroking her head. "Good...wait, she?" Bella said. "Well, they had to do a ultrasound and..well, yes, it's a girl...Alice is ecstatic...already planning a nursery" he said. "A nursery? I don't even have a place to live" she said. "You will live with us...of course" he said. "I'll just be a bother" she said. "Not at all" he said. "Ok" she said, slowly falling back to sleep.
