Hi Guys! How are things going? I'm sorry it's been awhile, but I don't have internet at home. I had a reviewer ask about why I don't have internet, here's the deal, I live with my mother and she doesn't really use the internet, I've been living in dorms for the last few years and I had internet, so my mother didn't need any. Now that I've moved home, I'm waiting to get internet until I get a bit better money inflow. I hope that answers your question.
So I've left this on a cliffhanger and I'm not sure when I'll be able to update, i hope to update at least once a week, but without the internet, I don't know when I'll be able to. Hint: Reviews give me the motivation to got to my sisters or to McDonalds to get internet, just food for thought.
As always enjoy!
The rest of the day passed, my friends wanted to rub the belly, I wasn't sure how many times I'd had a hand on my stomach.
"What is it," I complained as I came up to Angela and mine's locker. "With people wanting to rub a pregnant belly, I swear, even my sworn enemies want to touch my fucking belly."
"Can I rub the belly," Angela smiled her hand creeping towards my belly.
"Fuck, no," I said, moving back as we both started laughing.
My phone buzzed at that second and I sighed, I wonder what happened now. Most likely dad got called in and I'm by myself tonight.
Come home now!
"Damn, my dad, he's needs me home," I sighed. "Probably needs me to run an errand or something."
"Sure, see you Saturday night?"
Saturday night was Mike Newton's annual beginning of school bash and had told Jason to come, and Jason being one of my closet friends, invited Angela and I, with Mike agreeing whole heartedly.
"Yea, probably, I have to ask my father. See you later," I smiled at her and loaded my bag with what I'd need then headed home.
I saw two vehicles sitting in the driveway, a motorcycle, Jasper's, and a silver Volvo, Edward's. My heart dropped when I saw those cars, it means Edward went through with his first threat.
I slid out and I walked slowly up the stairs, opening and closing the door as quietly as I entered. I could hear three sets of male voices arguing.
"I should take you to jail, Edward, its illegal, but I trust you when you say it was consensual. Renee was always telling me that Bella was a wild child, I just didn't believe it until I found out she was pregnant."
"I won't say what I did was wrong. I know it was, Charlie, but I can't explain what I was feeling that night. It was the first night that I saw her as a woman, not as my little sister."
"You slept with my daughter, you got her pregnant and now you're telling me you have feelings for her?" Charlie said.
"I don't know what happened, I can't explain it," Edward said.
"I really want to cut your balls off," Jasper said.
"Jasper, enough, let's hear Bella's side of the story before we decide what to do," Charlie said.
Maybe they had already hashed out the worst and now I could change their minds, but would I do that, could I ruin Edward's life?
"Isabella, I know you are listening in," Charlie said. "Get in here!"
I walked into the room. My father and brother were sitting on the couch with a seat between them; Edward was sitting on the loveseat across from them.
"Hi," I said, setting my book bag down by the door and stepping into the living room. "School was good."
"That's not what we need to talk about," Charlie said.
"Edward has come forward with some information," Jasper said. "He believes that he is the father of your little girl."
"Girl?" Edward muttered.
"He's not," I said, wondering how I could get out of this. "I've told you repeatedly that I'm not sure who the father is."
"Charlie," Edward said. When did my father start allowing Edward to call him by his first name? "I know for sure that Bella sleep with no one before me. I know she wasn't a slut like the boys called her, she was waiting for the right person, and maybe I'm that right person. Was she with anybody right after she came to Forks?"
"No, she didn't date at all," Charlie said.
"Then it reason's that I am the baby's father," Edward said.
"So, than it comes to the next problem. She is your student."
"She wasn't when we conceived our baby," Edward said and I swear I could hear just a hint of pride in his voice when he said our baby.
"Do I get any say in this?" I grumbled.
"No," Jasper, Charlie and Edward said.
"You keep saying that you don't know who the father is," Charlie said. "I have no choice but to believe Edward."
"Gah," I screamed, huffing in anger. "I screwed up; I had sex at seventeen as a minor with a person over eighteen. We created life, to save his career; I choose not to tell anybody who her fucking father was!"
"So, you finally admit it," Charlie sighed. "Where do we go from here?"
"Dad, what she did was wrong, but she kept it a secret for all the right reasons," Jasper said.
I was still standing in the living room, the boys paying no attention to me as I rubbed my belly and humming to my sweet little girl.
"I'm eighteen in two weeks," I said, just then realizing how close to my birthday I was getting.
They ignored me and keep arguing with each other.
"I want to be in my child's life," Edward said, that was his recurring theme.
"I understand that Edward, but maybe you should have said no?"
"Charlie, be honest with yourself for a second, would you be able to turn down a pretty women?"
"If I knew she was a minor," Charlie said, and then a look crossed his face. "Wait a minute; we are talking about my daughter here, not some random girl."
I rolled my eyes, this battle might go on for hours, so I grabbed my bag and headed upstairs, dumping it on my floor and pulling out my math homework.
Sometime later, after finishing my math assignment a small knock came on my door.
"Go away," I muttered, but the door creaked open anyways.
"Bells, can we talk?" Jasper asked. "Please?"
"Are Charlie and Edward still going at it?"
"Yea, it's a round and round battle, they just need to realize that what is done is done, and move on and try to figure out what is going to happen now," Jasper said as he set down on my bed.
"I did it because he wanted to be a teacher, I just never thought he'd come to Forks, I never thought you'd come back."
"Forks called me up out of the blue, I was having problems finding a job and they offered me a job, no questions ask. I agreed and Alice and I moved here, it was a job; I'll do whatever I can for a job. When the music teacher left just two weeks before semester started, they were in pinch, I told them about Edward, but I had no clue until yesterday that he'd gotten the job. If I'd known about the baby, I would never have let Edward come here. Do you have feelings for him?"
"I don't know, that night that we spent together, I had so many emotions running through my head, I was scared because I was moving, I excited to be living in another state, I was nervous about school, you get the drift. I went to Edward's simply to say goodbye, not to fall into bed with him, that was the furthest thing from my mind."
Jasper sat and listened, he alone listened to the ramblings of a seventeen year old.
"I've always felt that I could talk to Edward, that I could confide in him. He asked me what was wrong and it was like the flood gates opened. I started crying and he was kissing the tears away, I looked into his eyes and I just felt something, a pull of sorts, not the things I'd felt previously, not the sibling feelings, it was something different. Edward was watching me less like a little sister and more like a woman. He made me feel like an adult, not the child that I am."
"Oh, Bells," Jasper muttered. "You've grown more than you know."
His phone vibrated then and he glanced at the message.
"They want us back downstairs, sounds like its punishment time," Jasper said. "Just remember, that no matter what, you are still my little sister and I'll always love you. I'll always be there for you, no matter what."
"Thanks, I love you, too."
We headed downstairs and I set down on the couch as Jasper set down on the loveseat.
"Bella," Charlie said. "We've come to an agreement. You and Edward are to be married."
