We all sat down in the mansion's living room. Ben sat on Angela's right side. I sat on her left. "Angela, this is a big secret. You have to understand that you can't tell anyone."

Ben joined in, "Angela, I love you. I am still the same person I was when we met, only a bit more… special."

"And what he is has possibly put you in danger. Angela, you need to tell him what you told me this morning." I looked her directly in the eyes. She nodded and turned to Ben.

She grabbed both of his hands not shying away his cold touch. He stared deep into her dark green eyes. "Ben, my period is 5 days late."

His eyes widened. "You're pregnant." Then, worry crossed his face," Is it from the night at your window or before? Please say before?"

"It is from the night at the window. I am sure. I was on birth control, but I had run out the Thursday before. I had forgotten to pick up more on the Friday, and the pharmacy is closed on the weekend. You came on the Sunday night. Why is that a problem?"

He sighed. "Ang, I know this sounds crazy, but I am a vampire," he turned to me, "I didn't think vampires could have children. Aren't we dead?"

Angela's eyes widened. "Vampire…they don't exist. And why are you asking Bella about vampires? Why would she?"

"Maybe it is time for my story," I said getting up and walking over to Esme's cabinet of photo albums. I noticed there was only one left. I pulled it out. It was one of a twin set. She had made 2 identical albums. It was the one I needed. The pictures were of each Cullen over the decades. I knew there were pictures of me with them in the back. I handed them the book.

"I learned all about vampires from a large coven of vegetarian vampires. You know them as the Cullens. I learned their secret when Edward and I stated dating. I knew what he was and I still loved him. We ran into a problem with a small coven of nomadic vampires. Their leader, James, wanted to kill me. He killed for sport. The Cullens were able to kill him before he could kill me though. After that, Edward and I continued our relationship. We didn't think a vampire could get a human pregnant. He left after my birthday. I found out I was pregnant this morning."

"Bella, is that why you called? How far along are you?" Angela asked getting really excited.

"I am about two and a half weeks, but look at this," I lifted my shirt revealing a baby bump. It was bigger than this morning. "This baby is growing seriously fast. We can't stay in Forks, at least not with our families. It will give it away. I was planning on leaving this afternoon. I was going to leave Charlie a note and wreck my truck into a tree. Then, I would set it on fire. I was planning on staying here until the baby was born. Then, I would leave."

"That is a good idea. I'll do it, too. I'll leave my parents a note saying I am leaving with you and that we sold my car for money. Ben can take care of the truck, and we can hide out here. We need to go to the bank and empty both of our bank accounts." Angela said with a smile.

"Okay. We need to go to my house and get my stuff and your car. Then, we will go to your house and get your stuff. Ben, you have to take my truck out of the county. We don't need it too close to here, and miles away from any town. We'll go to Port Angeles to get food and empty our bank accounts." I said grabbing my keys.

We all got up and walked to my truck. "Ben, you will have to run. You can't be seen in town."

We left. It didn't take long to get to my house. It was almost 9:45. I ran straight to my room leaving my keys in my truck. I grabbed two suitcases. In 1, I put a few articles of old clothing that I never wear, mostly tank tops, muscle shirts, and shorts. In the other, I put all my clothes I wear on a regular basis, jeans, sweaters, sweats, t-shirts, and the other things Alice would throw a fit about me wearing.

I put the first suitcase in the truck and the second in Ang's car. I ran inside and wrote Charlie a note.

Charlie,

I am sorry, but I can't do this anymore. I can't stay in a place where everything reminds me of him. Angela feels the same way about Ben. We are leaving. We are both 18. We don't know where we are going yet, but we aren't coming back. I am really sorry. Always remember that I love you. I'll always be your little girl.

Love you forever,

Bella

I was crying as I got into Angela's car. Ben was following us to her house to get a fake suitcase from her too. It didn't take long for Angela to get her things. She left a note just like mine. We gave Ben our phones to put in the truck as well. We waved bye to him and headed towards Port Angeles.
