"You're pregnant Bella."
My stomach dropped. I felt the heat rush to my face and tears spring to my eyes. Pregnant. Me. And with-. My eyes widened in realization. I looked up a Carlisle, not understanding. Charlie was on his feet, his face beet red, yelling his lungs off but I couldn't hear him. I couldn't hear anything. I was completely numb from the inside out. This wasn't possible.
"Dad," I said quietly, my voice surprisingly steady. "I want to talk to Dr. Cullen alone." I said the last word coldly and he got the message. He turned on his heel and strode from the office without another word. I stood up and shut the door behind him. I didn't want anyone to over hear.
"How?" was my first question. Carlisle just shook his head.
"I have no idea." He sighed, burying his head in his hands. I felt slightly taken aback. I had never seen Carlisle look so defeated before. Ever.
"Dr. Carlisle?" I asked my voice low. His head snapped up so fast, I thought it was going to snap right off his neck.
"Don't call me Doctor anymore Bella."
The silence that followed was so painful; it was like a thousand pins stabbing at my heart. It was because of that silence that I knew one thing for certain.
"We are not telling Edward." My voice was shockingly cool. Carlisle obviously noticed, for his confusion was blatantly writing in his topaz eyes. I lowered my head, ashamed.
"He doesn't need to know." I almost whispered. Carlisle face grew dark.
"Of course he needs to know!" He almost shouted, struggling for control. "It is his child! He needs to know."
"But he's not going to. Is he, Dr. Cullen?" My voice betrayed my intentions in the exact way I hoped.
"What do you mean by that?"
I gave Carlisle a small smile.
"I mean he doesn't have to know. He doesn't want me, Carlisle. I know that now. And I am not going to force myself on him with a baby. I'll pretend to get a new boyfriend so when the pregnancy starts to show, he can think that it is the new guy's. And you will tell him no different. Doctor/Patient Confidentiality Agreement, right?" I raised my eyebrow at him asking a silent question.
He nodded his head, understanding. I stood up.
"Thank you for seeing me Dr. Cullen. I'll phone to book an appointment for a check up. Thank you again." I said as I was leaving the room. As I walked down the hall, I turned to look back and saw Dr. Carlisle staring after me sadly.

That is the reason why I got caught up with Jefferson. Jefferson Gray was a guy from my school. I chose him because I knew Edward would take the most notice of him. When Edward and I made it public that we were dating Jefferson was the only guy who didn't back down and stop flirting with me. So the Monday following my doctor's appointment, I began to respond to his flirting attempts. Many student s noticed and yet once again, I was the talk of the school. Not that I minded much this time. I caught Edward glaring at me, one day after the rumours about me and Jefferson started floating. Though it almost broke my heart, I kept my face blank and turned away.
The days flew by and soon I was four months along. I wasn't really trying to keep track but something inside of me wasn't going to let me forget. Charlie had phoned Renée and I had gotten a sever guilt trip from her. She phoned almost every day now, just to check in. Charlie joked every time that if she didn't stop he was going to disconnect the phone, but it was an empty threat. Jefferson was very attentive and seemed like the perfect guy. But I soon found that my assumption of him was wrong. Dead wrong.
One very sunny afternoon, I stayed back after school to finish a paper I had due later in the week. I had just finished and was walking away from my locker heading towards the stairs when Jefferson came up from behind me and shoved me into a wall. My eyes widened in surprise. What was he doing?
"I know you're still in love with him." He hissed his voice so low it terrified me. "But you're mine now!" He crushed himself up against me and my heart raced for the baby's safety.
"Get off me!" I yelled but it did no good. He was not going to let go. Panic froze in my lungs when his hands started exploring. I knew what he was planning.
"NO!" I screamed flinging my arms at him. Suddenly, he went flying backwards, down the flight of stairs and into the wall and the bottom of that flight. I stood froze to the spot, appalled. Did I do that? No, I couldn't have. It must have been-
The baby.
Shaking my head, I turned on my heel and walked away as fast as I could. I had to see Carlisle. But he would be at the house right now. Or worse…hunting. My panic started to overwhelm me and I took off running full speed. Soon I had no clue where I was but I still hadn't stopped running. It was as if my feet knew where I need to be. Suddenly I came to a stop. Looking up, I saw the Cullens' house looming before me. How in the world? Then it hit me like a bolt of lightning. The baby. I was tapping into the baby's abilities. Fear froze in my throat. If the baby was this powerful in the womb… I shuddered at the thought. Hopefully Carlisle would be able to help, if he was there to help. I walked slowly, on purpose, not wanting to chance running again. Stepping up onto the porch my heart stopped.
I couldn't go in the house. I couldn't! Not after all that had happened. I hung my head, my pain filling me to the brim. I bit my lip and raised my hand in order to knock on the door, but I stopped myself. If I was carrying one of them, why in the world did I have to knock? Or show any curticey at all for that matter. Especially after what he did to me. Shaking my head, I ran full blast at the door. With my newly found speed, I opened the door and sped through the house and into the kitchen to face a very startled Cullen family.
"Is this because of the baby?" I demanded, staring only at Carlisle. I dared not chance looking at the others. Carlisle just smiled at me.
"Baby?" I heard Alice whisper. Underneath her words I could hear his shallow intake of breath. Once again, it became hard for me to breathe.
"Yes Alice, she said baby." Carlisle said addressing everyone. My eyes never left him. What was he getting at?
"You see four short months ago, Bella and Charlie dropped into the hospital because Bella was sick to her stomach and very dizzy. Well after reading the blood test I discovered the Bella was in fact pregnant." I heard a suppressed growl come from his direction. Carlisle answered the growl without even looking at him.
"Don't bother hoping that some other guy got to her first Edward. It's yours."
"But how." he growled in response. It brought tears to my eyes just to hear his words. I suddenly realized how much I still wanted him, even after all that he had done.
"I began to wonder that too. So I went up north, searching for the answers. And I got them." He concluded lamely. We all stared at him, impatient. He glanced around before uttering an amused "What?"
"Are you not going to tell us what you discovered?" I heard Jasper snap. He, along with everyone else, was most likely very testy because of the whole ordeal.
"Of course I will. Now where was I?" He asked gazing around. When his eyes landed on me he continued.
"When I was up north, I talked with Yame, a new member of the coven up there. He is almost as old as I am and he had come by a case like this only once before. It can sometime happen, where a boy is transformed when he is too young and storage of sperm can build up and last for centuries. It does disappear, but only after the said boy has had intercourse. And so when our Edward had intercourse, his sperm, having been deprived for centuries, were intent on reaching the prize. And low and behold, they found it. In Bella." He concluded nodding his head towards me.
I stared at Carlisle, still confused. Glancing around for the first time, I saw that the others, even he understood.
"Umm, Carlisle," I said, suddenly realizing that I had called him by only his first name for the first time.
"Yes?" he turned to me questioningly. Obviously he noticed it too.
"Well, there is one thing I still don't get. Why do I have powers? Can I tap into the baby's abilities or something?" Everyone glance over at Edward. I shivered, subconsciously knowing where this was going.
Edward stepped towards me, but I backed away, scared.
"Bella." He whispered his eyes full of pain. No! He has no right to feel that pain.
"I'm sorry." He hung his head, his eyes full of shame. I stepped towards him my heart aching.
"Edward?" I whispered. "Why?" His head dropped even lower and he began to cry. On am impulse, I ran to him and tried to hold him but he shrugged out of my grasp.
"Why?" I raised my voice, almost having to rip the words out of my throat. "Why?"
"Why, Bella?" Edward hissed. "Why? BECAUSE YOU ASKED ME TO, THAT'S WHY!" he roared. The fury and pain almost ripped through my flesh. I could feel the empty viens in his body convulsing with rage. My own blood began to pound in my ears and tears came dangerously close to falling. He had no right to be angry with me.
"I NEVER ASKED YOU TO RAPE ME!" I screamed, hurling those deadly words at him viciously. He let out a piercing howl but that didn't stop me. I just started screaming, letting out everything I had kept inside for months.
"I NEVER ASKED FOR ANY OF THIS! I DON'T WANT TO BE A TEEN MOTHER! I DON'T WANT A BABY THAT MIGHT GROW UP TO BE A MIX-BREED! I DIN'T EVEN WANT KIDS! I JUST WANTED TO BE WITH YOU AND BE A VAMPIRE! WAS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?"
"YOU ARE A VAMPIRE! I GAVE YOU WHAT YOU WANTED!" I had my mouth open and was read to fire off more words of hate but stopped as soon as his statement registered in my mind.
"I'm a vampire?" I murmured breathlessly. Edward nodded silently. The rest of the Cullens, who had remained frozen in their spots while we had fought, started to slowly inch away, in order to give us space. Getting frustrated with their attempts to keep us oblivious to their exit, I screamed,
"JUST GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE ALREADY!" and with that, they vanished, leaving me and Edward alone to sort out the tangled mess of our broken hearts.
