Rose POV
I paced back and forth in the waiting room. Yes, it was official. Bella is crazy.…extremely crazy. Thank God Carlisle was on duty. He's going to have questions later, but we'll worry about that when it comes. I mean he has to find out eventually right?
Alice grabs my arm and pulls me into the chair beside her.
"You're making me nervous", she whispers, her eyes bloodshot from crying.
I shook my head and placed my elbows on my knees, "Did you try calling Edward?"
Alice frowned, "He won't pick up or answer any of my texts. I told him it was an emergency. He probably thinks Bella ran and told us and we have an army waiting on him."
I laughed and then my face fell into a grimace. "I can't believe he did this.…to Bella... To the family."
Alice didn't answer. She just stares off into space. It seemed like we'd been waiting for hours. I threw myself out of the chair and began pacing again. Ugh. What is taking so damn long?
As if on cue, Carlisle appeared through the entrance. I looked up at him expectingly.
He sighed, "She must've fell into the wine rack or dropped the bottle or glass she had. That's where the blood came from. She hit her head pretty hard but she's fine. What happened, Rose?"
I bit my lip. "She was upset about something, I guess from work. You know with the fashion show and stuff going on. And you know Bella is a clutz."
Carlisle raised his eyebrow. I know he wasn't buying my story but it wasn't my business to tell. Besides it was between Bella and Edward... For now. "Can I see her? Please?"
Carlisle smiled," She's getting... some... Extra medical attention right now. "
I panicked." You said she was fine... I thought... "
" Nothing is wrong,we just found something else when we were checking her out. "
Alice, who had been quietly listening in her seat, lifted herself up." What do you mean? "
Carlisle's smile hadn't fell the whole time we were talking." Well they should be through now, how about you go ask her yourself huh?"
Alice and I shared a worried glance. What the hell was going on? We walked to Bella's room. Carlisle's peeked in then opened the door to let us proceed in. "I have some other patients to see. Remember she's going to be okay but don't stress her out too much."
I nodded my head. She looked better. As good as you could look for just having to find out your husband has been cheating on you. She was so deep in thought it took her some second to register that we were in the room. She smiled. "HI."
Alice ran to her side and hugged her, "Don't ever make me go through that again. You scared me half to death!"
I shook my head. "My question is:What was Carlisle talking about? He said something about finding something but you're fine so...?"
Bella frowned, "Oh. Well they won't give me anything but Tylenol for the pain now. Because of what they found."
Alice furrowed her brow. "What doe what they found have to do with pain medication?"
I glanced back at Bella. She sighed. "Because anything else I take will cross through the placenta."
My eyes widened. Tylenol... Placenta... BABY!
Alice practically tackled Bella with this hug. "Omg you're having a baby! I'm going to be an aunt! Just think about the clothes. Omg and the baby shower! We have to start planning."
Bella said nothing. I sat on the end of her bed. "Aren't you happy?"
Bella's eyes immediately watered. She sniffles, "oh yeah. I'm sooo happy to be pregnant by my husband who's cheating on me. I'm so happy to have to worry about being pregnant and also handling a divorce at the same time. Oh and the joys of being a single parent. Can't wait!". Her voice had turned sarcastic and hard through her rant. And then the tears began again.
I reached out to touch her leg as Alice clutched her. "Sweetie who says you have to get a divorce? I mean... Well... Unless you want to. Do you want to?"
Bella shrugged. Alice stroked her hair. "Well no matter what you decide, we're here."
