The weeks that Renee were away went by like a breeze and all to soon the Cullens had to leave. To my surprise I was not as devastated as I thought I would be. I had gotten allot closer to Mitchell and we knew allot about each other now. We were officially dating and I was very happy. Being with Mitchell really boosted my self confidence.
When I woke up this morning I could smell Renee's cooking. To my surprise it wasn't a disgusting smell like usual. I quickly climbed out of bed and ran to the bathroom to take a shower. I washed my hair and jumped out of the shower almost tripping and walked down the hall too the kitchen. I was shocked to see mountains of food on the table.
"M.. Mom" I stuttered " Why are you so jittery and happy this morning?"
"Well Bella dear Phil and I would like to tell you something." She breathed. "Phil would you please come in the kitchen!" My mother called.
I was starting to get really nervous wondering what could possibly make Renee act like Alice when she was shopping.
"Bella I know I'm getting older but I'm still pretty young, well...I'm GOING TO HAVE A BABY!!!" She shouted. I thought I was going to faint. Don't get me wrong I was very excited, I was just overwhelmed at the moment. I Immediately started to gush like a "valley girl" about how cool and exciting it was going to be. I always loved children but I knew if I was still with Edward I would never have them. After I got done convincing Renee to let me tell Charlie about the pregnancy, I ran down the hall and called Charlie immediately.
"Charlie?" I breathed.
"Hi Bells, how are you?" He asked
"I'm great Ch...Dad. Listen I have big news for you!" I said dramatically. "Renee is going to have a baby."
"That's great Bells! I am really happy for her. Well I have news for you too."
"What is it Dad?" I asked.
"Well you remember Sue Clearwater." He said it more as a rhetorical question but I answered anyway.
"Yes, of course I do"
"Well ever since you left we have become great friends and we are seeing each other now."
I told Charlie that was great and said I had to go. At that moment I was not sure if he knew the truth about Jacob and Edward and that really scared me to no end. I figured that with the new additions to Sue's family that she would tell him if it got really serious. They all told me one to many times how dangerous it is to be around werewolves and it really frightened me to hear what Charlie would say when he found out about Edward.
I decided it would be best for me to call Alice and tell her the news about Renee and Charlie especially so she could keep an "extra" eye on things. She told me she would be visiting again soon and would call and update me with the Charlie situation when she saw something new.
Later that night Mitchell called and asked if I would like to spend the day with him tomorrow. I quickly agreed because I missed him and I needed to get out of the house. I went to my room and fell asleep quickly and I woke up early to get ready.
Mitchell came at 10 in the morning to get me. I figured that since we were out I would get some baby stuff for Renee because she was already 3 months pregnant and found out late. Our first stop was breakfast at a cute diner where I had waffles and he had an omelet. We made small talk for a while but he quickly caught on that there was something wrong.
"Bella, what's wrong?" He questioned.
"Nothing sweetie I'm just worried about Renee and my dad Charlie that's all. I'm not sure how their both handling the news about each other right now. I'm sorry I've been so out of it lately."
After I told him this he laughed a little and told me things would be fine. He then leaned across the table and gave me a light kiss on the lips. After we were done eating we got in the car and drove to the mall. We talked the whole way about pointless stuff. It was really nice to talk about nothing important. Mitchell and I spent the next few hours picking out a few cute outfits, ones that could be for either a girl or a boy. We left and went to Renee's house and showed her the outfits we bought for her.
Renee started to tear up, she said it was because she loved the outfits but I think it's because she is hormonal.
I walked Mitchell to the door and kissed him goodnight and said I would see him tomorrow. Mitchell just smiled and walked to his car. Later that night I felt like he was planning something and I was very excited.
"Wow!"I thought to myself"I have a great boyfriend."
