Chapter Three-Please Don`t Bella!-BPOV

`Just please let me see her! ` I could hear a muffled voice begging from the other side of the door. I recognized the voice as my father`s.

`Could you please let him in?' I asked a nurse who was checking my blood pressure. I guess she didn't know I had woken up because she jumped.

'Alright just one second,' she walked to the door to speak to the person on the other side.

'You may come in Chief Swan. She requested to see you,' she told my father warmly. I knew from experience that nurses were generally not nice but this one was nice to both my father and I. I would have to thank her.

'Oh Bella! Are you okay? Are you alright? How do you feel? Can I get you anything?' He asked anxiously as he rushed to my side.

'I'm fine Dad just stay with me please? I don't want to be alone.'

'Alright Bells. You're alright. Everything's fine. You're fine.' He chanted to himself.

'Calm down Dad. I'm alright. Um, who knows?' I had to ask.

'Just your mother, Jasper, and Dr. Cullen, and I.' He saw the look on my face. 'I asked him not to tell anyone in his family. I wasn't sure if you would want anyone to know.' He told me in a comforting tone. I knew he was referring to me probably not wanting Edward to know. He had heard out whole fight. It had waked him up from his nap and he didn't know that we had made up but I still didn't want Edward to know.

'I thought he was leaving tonight?' Why would he not be at his house finishing packing?

'H heard about your situation. He told his family he had one last matter to attend to. He made a deal with his new boss to let him come here to help one last patient. He asked the board if he could be your doctor and at first they were hesitant of a male with a rape victim but they also thought about the fact that you knew him well and would probably like something familiar. They wouldn't even let me in the room until you asked for me.' He was shocked at that fact as was I. He was a relative. Why would they not let him in?

'I love you Dad.'

'I love you too Bells.'

'Dad? May I ask you a question?' I asked and he went rigid. 'It's okay Dad. I just want to know how badly I'm hurt,' I said reassuring me.

'I don't know that Bella. They wouldn't even tell you what room you were in until I could prove I was your father and the chief of police!'

'That's okay, it's not urgent.' Just then Dr. Cullen walked in.

'Hello Bella, how are you feeling?' He sounded kind of depressed.

'Alright,' I told him with a small smile.

'Are you okay with me being your doctor Bella?' He asked. I nodded my head. 'Thank you, I am honoured that you think highly of me enough to trust me that much so soon after your incident.'

'Thank you for me being able to trust you Dr. Cullen. May I ask how badly I am hurt? I know I must be in some extent of pain seeing as I am on morphine but because of that I can't tell where the pain is or why it is hurting.' I finished looking at the IV pole.

'Very observant Miss Swan,' he praised. 'You are indeed on morphine but a very low dosage, just enough to keep the pain away. You have a few broken ribs, a broken ankle, which has not yet been plastered, a broken arm, which hasn't been plastered either, a concussion, and Bella I am terribly sorry but your legs are paralyzed. We cannot find the reason why so we are assuming it is a pinched nerve. With therapy you may be able to stand again but walking may not be as easy.' He told me with a grim look on his face.

'Oh Bella! Bella, Bella, everything will be all right sweetie. I promise.' My Dad cried.

'I know Dad and I won't give up. Dr. Cullen, you should not be sorry. This is in no way either of your faults. You did not do this to me. You are innocent.' I told them.

'Bella, I apologize anyway. I need to tell you that even though you can't feel your broken ankle and may not feel it after the morphine wears off you cannot put any pressure on it or hit it. Until it is fully healed a piece of it could chip off and knick a vein of sorts which would cause all blood flow into and out of your foot to cease. In this case we would have to amputate your foot and we don't want to risk that if you my walk again, so please be careful,' he asked.

'Of course Dr. Cullen, I wouldn't jeopardize any chance of something helping me walk again. Hey Dad? Is Jasper here?' I asked.

'Yes, he's in the waiting room. Would you like to see him?'' I nodded my head. 'I'll go get him for you.' With that he stood up and left the room.

'What are the chances I'm pregnant Carlisle?' I asked as soon as I heard the door click.

'When was your last period?'

'Three and a half weeks ago.'

'Well, assuming you are not on the pill or any form of birth control, the chances are slim that you aren't pregnant. You don't have to keep the child if you are pregnant though Bella. You could have an ab-'

'I will not murder! Abortion is out of the question!' I shouted.

'Bella, pregnancy at your age could be difficult. You have all of these injuries already, your legs won't work at the time and this will not be good for pregnancy. If you are pregnant and in a wheel chair then it will be a difficult childbirth. It is not only the doctors that help with childbirth it is also the mother as you most likely know. You must also think of the other things you have going on in your life right now! Your are about to begin University in the fall and you have friends which means parties and drinking which isn't good for the child. Plus you will be living the life of every other young adult in University. They don't feel like cooking every night and eating too much fast food of deep fried food could potentially be bad for the child. I am not a huge supporter of abortion but it is a choice often made by women in your situation.' He explained.

'Why didn't you give me the option to keep the child? Why did you automatically offer abortion? You know me. I would never harm another human being if I could help it!' I was insulted!

'I would be overjoyed if you chose to keep this baby but I didn't think you would want to because of the circumstances. Some women your age get pregnant and keep the child. They either end up depressed and sometimes suicidal or they end up committing murder. They are mad at the child for ruining their life so they take it out on the child who can't defend itself yet. They then have to spend twenty-five years in prison. Not the life that most women your age dream of.' He told me.

'I would be fine Carlisle and I would love my child no matter what!' I told him sternly.

My brother happened to walk in at the most inopportune time. 'You're pregnant?' He asked angrily and disbelievingly.

'I don't know yet Jasper but I would love my child no matter what!' I told him defiantly.

'Bella, please tell me you would not keep it!'

'I will not murder and a child is a living being! Never call a child an 'it'!' I shouted.

'Adoption?' He asked hopefully.

'I couldn't live knowing a part of me was out there somewhere.' I whispered.

'Please don't Bella!' He pleaded.

'I don't even know if I am pregnant yet Jazz. I will make my final decision then if I am.' I told him with finality. I knew in my heart that I would never loose a child if I had a choice. I would never kill or abandon my child or anyone's child.

'While we are running your tests why don't we take you down to get your arm and leg plastered? Jasper would you like to push the wheelchair?' Dr. Cullen asked assuming Jasper knew about my legs.

'Why can't she use crutches?' He asked truly curious.

'My legs are paralyzed.' I told him bluntly.

'WHAT?' He screamed in outrage.
