Chapter 2

Mission: Appointment

Bella POV

I cannot believe that I am really doing this, I thought to myself while looking at all the happy couples that surrounded me.

The Donation Center building looked like any other hospital. It had the same uncomfortable plastic chairs, that make you want to cut your ass off after sitting too long on them. The walls were painted in a pleasant blue tone that reminded me of the wonderful baby blanket my mother sent me last week. I was so happy to see that she had accepted my decision and that she was supporting me. It means a lot to me, since my father, Charlie, looked at me like I was crazy when I told him about my plans. His exact words were "Ok. Whatever. It's your life."

"Mr. and Mrs. Landlord, the doctor is waiting for you in Examination room Number 12," the nurse said with an annoyed voice. She looked bored out of her mind, staring straight at the computer screen, not even bothering to look up and make eye contact with the patients.

I glanced at the young couple now on their way to room Number 12 and the only thing I can see in their faces is hope. Hope, to be able to make their dream of becoming parents come true.

I really wished that there was someone special for me in this world...

Stop thinking that, RIGHT NOW! If Alice could hear your thoughts she would bitch slap you right in front of all these people. GET OVER IT!

"Hooooney… I don't want to sit on this uncomfortable chair anymore. I just want to go hoooome and sleep!" I turn to the right to see to whom this nasal and annoying voice belongs, just to be met by a gorgeous blond in her late twenties.

The woman who had spoken looked totally annoyed by the fact that they were here, and her husband was just sitting beside her like a little lap dog. He is looking at her with so much adoration that I can't help but feel jealous. How does such an annoying woman deserve him and I can't even hold a man for more than 5 months.

I sighed loudly and remembered my last relationship and how it ended...

(FLASHBACK)

"Jake, just leave me the fuck alone! I would never, EVER touch you again after I saw what you did with Slutty McWhore! Really, Jake?! She's what... 50 years old??" I screamed at him. I cannot believe he has the guts to come to our, no, to MY apartment after I found him yesterday with this whore who works at his office as his secretary...

Yeah, I bet she is very good at sucking him off during their 'late night hours' to deserve the raise she got last month. I knew that she and Sam had an affair, and I even heard rumors that she started something with Paul. But I never, not in my wildest dreams, thought that Jake would fall for her slutty behavior and I would find them fucking on the copy machine. How cliché is that?

And the worst thing is, that it didn't bother me that he cheated on me. I was more disappointed about losing the good coffee machine, since he bought it. And I don't think it's a good sign if you're not even a little bit confused or hurt when you find your boyfriend with his secretary doing the horizontal tango!

"Bella, she's only 23 and you know that. She just had a nose job and that's why her face is so swollen. Baby, ju-.."

"Don't 'baby' me, Jake. I said GET. OUT. OF. MY. APARTMENT!! I don't want to hear what her problem is, and I don't want to hear your excuses either. I'm not blind, Jake. I saw what I saw and that was you sticking your cock into her disease trap! Just leave! I packed all your things and you can take your wonderful coffee machine right with you!" I was about to call Alice so that maybe she could bring Jasper and some of his friends to help me remove this trash from my apartment.

"You know what, you little bitch, I am happy that you found out about me and Lauren! At first I felt guilty for cheating on you but you deserve it! You're such a prude; I had to wait for more than 2 months until I got some... Who does that?! Go to hell, Bella Swan! I have pity for the poor fuck who has to spend the rest of his life with you!!" he said while he took his luggage and left the apartment.

I cannot believe that I wasted the last 5 months on this moron. I should have listened to Alice. She told me from the beginning that he's a jerk and that I shouldn't trust him. Now I learned another lesson. Never bet against Alice!

I'm just happy that he forgot to take the coffee machine with him.

HA, take that, Jacob Black... You'll never see the coffee machine again!

I still remembered the first time I met him and how sweet and overly protective he was. I can't believe I wasted the last 5 months in this asshole. I was just about to call Alice and tell her the news, when my phone started ringing.

"Hey Alice! I'm glad you called... I need a distraction right now. Just dumped Jacob," I said nonchalantly.

"I know that, silly Bella! I'm shopping with a friend but after that, we can meet and you can tell me EVERYTHING! Oh, and I sent the bitch from the office a nice thank you basket, with lots, and lots of muffins. Let's see how Jacob will like her 10 pounds heavier," she giggled into the phone. I just hope that she didn't put anything in the muffins. My last ex boyfriend got some nasty diarrhea after he ate Alice's wonder muffins.

"Ok! Just come over when you're done! Love ya!"

(END FLASHBACK)

"Miss Swan. The doctor is waiting for you," said the same annoyed nurse. But this time she did look up and gave me the nastiest look I had seen in a long time. "Dr. Pattinson is waiting for you in examination room Number 14." Just as she said these words a very attractive man came out of one of the rooms and came my way.

"Miss Swan. I'm Dr. Pattinson, I'll be your doctor during the process. Please follow me."

No wonder the nurse gave me the stink eye. He was lickable! I wonder if he donated? Just before my imagination was about to undress us both, he opened a door and led me into a sterile looking room which contained two chairs, a desk and some medical books in a bookshelf above the chair behind the desk.

"Please, take a seat," said Dr. Hottie while looking at his folder and writing notes on a paper.

Yes, I'd like to sit on your lap Doctor.

Stop that Bella! He's your fucking DOCTOR. God, I'm way too horny to be confronted with this walking sex.

"Before we can start with the process, I need you to fill out a standardized questionnaire, containing your age, family situation, and some personal questions. The form will be added to your file, which we will be storing in the bank."

He handed me a two-page form with some questions on it and I started to fill it out. I finished rather quickly, but there was one question that made me think.

Why did you choose to use our Sperm Bank?

Why did I choose to go this route?

(1 Month ago)

"So, how was your date yesterday?" Alice asked with a smug smile plastered on her face. She knew that I was looking for a potential father for my unborn baby, but she told me from the beginning that I won't be happy with the potential candidates. I can't believe how right she was. Again.

"God, Alice. It was horrible! When he came to pick me up he unintentionally groped my breasts before we even shook hands and introduced ourselves! Then we went to the fair and he insisted on riding the rollercoaster! After that he puked all over my shoes..."

"Not the Manolos!!" said Alice with a horrified expression. Shoes were like her kids. I swear I saw her eye twitch when I told her that they are ruined now.

"Yes, the Manolos. Anyway, I decided I should give him a second chance and I went with him to his apartment. When I opened the door, the first thing I saw was this huge aquarium in the middle of the apartment, but there weren't any fish in it. No, there was a huge anaconda! I was so shocked and freaked out I couldn't even scream. Well, not until I felt something hairy on my foot. When I looked down, there was a tarantula on my foot. That was the moment I screamed and ran out of the apartment like a maniac." I sighed and put my head into my hands.

"I'm sorry Bella that only freaks ask you out! But I told you that a one nightstand won't do it. I have a plan how you can get pregnant without sleeping with any of these douche bags!"

She started vibrating in her seat. Sometimes I think that she has caffeine instead of blood in her veins. It's not normal to be so happy and giddy all the time. It's like she ate 2 happy lovey dovey pink bunnies and they are giving her this sickening giddiness. Or maybe she just gobbled up some of those cartoons, you know, the ones that when they ran, their legs turned into little circles.

"Then do tell, Alice. I'm desperate!"

"Ok, so you know Victoria and James from High school. They were total freaks. Can you believe, they even asked Jasper and me once if we wanted to switch partners for a day! Yeah, as if I would ever let that freak touch me! He couldn't even tell the difference between Armani and Armani Jeans... I mean, it's totally-"

"Aliceeeee.... Just tell me what does that have to do with my situation?" I asked, now really annoyed. I loved Alice dearly, she is like a sister to me, but when she starts to talk she can't stop and after a while you just want to shoot yourself!

"Ok, so I met them 2 weeks ago and Victoria was pregnant." Wait, that confused me. We all know that since the football game during our junior year of high school year, James can't have children. I still can't believe that his balls exploded. It was a mess down on the field. I never saw so many guys cry in one place.

"Yes Bella. I know what you're thinking right now, and James isn't the father. They went to the sperm donation bank and that's how Vicky got pregnant. So, if they can have a child that way, then why don't you do the same??" I looked into her hopeful eyes and thought that she'd

completely lost her mind.

"Alice, are you telling me right now that I should go and buy sperm?! Are you completely out of your mind??!" I said while starting to laugh hysterically.

"Just consider it as an option. I was on their website and found some possible candidates that you might like. Here's the folder. Just look at it, Bella!"

She gave me a purple folder with the words "Jalice potential father" written in glittery script on it.

"Who's Jalice?" I asked, confused at the name.

"Your baby, DUH!! It's a mix between Alice and Jasper and I think it's cute. You should name your child that way!"

END FLASHBACK

So, now I'm here, about to choose Jalice's father....

Stop calling your child that stupid name!


"Miss Swan?" questioned Dr. Hottie. I looked up to see him standing over me, a concerned look on his face. "Are you Ok?" he asked. I noticed that I hadn't moved in about two and a half minutes.

"I'm fine," I mumbled, embarrassed. Dr. Hottie didn't seem to notice though as my cheeks grew warmer and warmer.

"Good, because we can't have you sick, can we now?" He smiled warmly at me.

"And why's that doctor?" I purred. What the HELL are you doing Bella!!!

"Because you want to have a baby..." He trailed off, like it was the most obvious thing in the world, which it kind of was, but still. Good going Bells, your doctor already thinks you´re a complete idiot dufus, and you aren´t even here ten minutes. That's probably a new record.

"Yeah, sorry, brain fart for a moment." Brain Fart??? God, I loathed myself right now.

The doctor looked at me for another moment. "Anyway, here are some files, take a look at them, see if there's anyone you're interested in. If you have any questions, feel free to call me, just press that button there." He said this while handing me a thick folder with at least two dozen small folders inside.

Alright Jalice, time to pick out your daddy...

Edward POV

"There's no way Alice." I muttered, sighing. We were out shopping, yet again, and she wanted me to try on a leather jacket that had 'boys will be boys' on the back in sequins. Yes, sequins.

"Come on, I know it will look good on you…" She whined, holding it up again. I shook my head firmly, standing on the spot. I hated shopping, but if Alice shopped for me, she would find things like this, that were apparently 'on the cutting edge of fashion.'

"No Alice," I said firmly, turning away and looking out into the mall. Since it was early in the afternoon on a Monday, the only people here were moms with their kids who were too little for school.

I let out a sigh. I haven't had a girlfriend in over four months… and haven't had sex in nearly that long. I was twenty six for crying out loud, why didn't I have something like a relationship or even a marriage??

"Edward, earth to Edward," Alice called, waving a hand in front of my face.

"What?" I asked, focusing on her tiny figure. She looked at me with a concerned expression.

"What is with you lately, do you want to talk about it? You know, I'm a great listener and I always hear people out and give the best advice. I really don't know why people tell me that I'm a horrible listener… Can you believe that Edward? Me, a horrible listener??" She rambled. I shook my head. I didn't need to talk to anyone, let alone with her about my sex-less life.

"No, I'm fine." I said quietly.

"Is it stress… is it Jasper, has he been dumping too much work on you, because I can talk to him, and-" She began her rant, but I cut her off.

"No, it's nothing, I'm fine, just a little distracted…" I said, reassuring her.

"If you're sure," she said before pulling me back towards the store.

"What I'm not sure about is this store," I told her. She looked back at me with a glare.

"It's on the cutting edge of fashion Edward, and I know these things," she stated, crossing her arms over her chest. "Besides, you need to look smart, I can't have you seen with me if you keep wearing last year's styles."

"I like last year's styles," I told her. She grumbled something under her breath.

"Whatever Edward…" she trailed off. "I'm going to go pick you out a few things. You go next door and pick yourself out something pretty." She finished, handing me a crisp twenty-dollar bill.

"I have money," I muttered, giving it back. She just rolled her eyes, and pointed one finger next door, in a 'go on' sort of way.

I sighed, and walked next door. The clothes were more simply here, more my style.

"Honey, come on, pick out something for daddy," said a woman, who was bending down next to her young son, clutching a handful of ties.

"Which one will daddy wike de best?" the little boy asked, looking at his mother.

"Whichever one you choose, I know he will love it." The mother said distractedly, glancing at the clock. "We'd better get going."

"Dis one!" The boy cried, pointing to a horrid orange one.

"Good choice," the woman said, and rushed them off towards the register.

I let out another sigh… why couldn't I have something like that? I always wanted a kid, or two. After remembering my great childhood and how much fun me and my brother had, I always wanted to have children who could experience this special sibling-bond.

I grabbed randomly at a shirt in my size and went up to pay. I had the money now, I could buy thousand of shirts, but it wouldn't matter. Money really didn't bring you happiness. I wondered what damn genius came up with that, because he's just stupid.

I remember when I didn't have any money, but I hadn't been happy then either. Maybe I'm just not a made for happiness. But back then, I did crazy stuff for money, thinking it would make things better. I mean one time I had even visited a sperm bank for a little cash…

(Five years ago)

I walked nervously into the room. It looked like a standard hospital room, off-white walls and hard, plastic chairs lining the walls. I walked shakily up to the front desk. I still couldn't believe I was doing this.

I was at a sperm bank, donating… Well, let's just say I was donating more than my time.

"Name," barked the old, cruel looking lady at the front desk. She had wrinkles on her face that I was sure weren't from laughing.

"Ed…Edward Cullen," I stuttered, gulping. You need the money, you really need the money, I chanted in my head, as I took the forms.

I walked over to one of the hard chairs and began filling out the information.

NAME: Edward Cullen

AGE: 21

DOB: June 21, 1983

And it went on, and on, and on. I filled out the information slowly, making sure everything was right. It wasn't until I got to one of the last questions that I had to stop and think.

Would you like to know when someone decides to use your forms?

Huh. Well, damn, what was I supposed to say to that? Did I want to know when I would, gulp, become a father? Even if I technically wouldn't be 'the father,' I wasn't sure.

I thought about it though. Did I want to live my whole life without knowing if I ever had a child… even if it wasn't really mine? Wouldn't I at least want to know if I was part of bringing a child into the world?

What the Hell, I thought, and checked yes. Who knows what would happen down the road…

I hoped you liked chapter two.. And the story will be getting better and better! ;)
