"Alice, please get out of my way." I asked impatiently, as I finally regained my emotional strength and recovered from the shock. I thought, and believed, that I wanted to see Alice. But now, as she stood, stubbornly blocking my path, I knew it was a mistake. I was going to hurt emotionally for this.

"Isabella Swan, is that what I think it is?" She was pointing to my bulge. Of course it is, what else would it be? But Alice had absolutely no right to question me about my personal affairs, regardless of whether it was to do with her family.

"You tell me, Alice. You are the psychic." I spat, as the fury and resentment of her and her family returned. I had not forgiven any of the Cullen's for leaving me alone in Forks. Alice's face went blank, her eyes expressionless, for almost a minute, and then her face turned into the expression of frustration.

"That's strange. I can't see. I'm blind." She looked at me with curiosity. Another twinge hit me, and I doubled over slightly. "Bella?" Alice rushed to my side, but I put a hand up to stop her as I tried to breathe through the pain.

"Get...away...Alice." I panted.

"Bella let me help you to my bed. You need to sit down." I couldn't fight her off. She may only be four foot something, but she was a vampire. She was dangerously strong. As she lowered me onto the bed, she looked at me with concern in her eyes. Not the first person from my past to do so this week. "How pregnant are you, exactly?" Alice asked me, as she sat next to me, so gracefully I didn't even feel the mattress bow in the slightest.

"Quite pregnant. I wouldn't say I was absolutely positive, but I'm pretty sure there's a mini-me in here somewhere." I answered sarcastically. I had changed a lot since Alice had last seen me. I was mainly an angrier, more hateful and sarcastic person. The pain had finally subsided.

"It's not..."

I cut her off.

"No, Alice. It's not Ed...His." I hoped my lying skills had become better since I had last seen her.

"Then whose?"

"I don't know. It was a one night stand, after Ed...you all left." I kept staring at the floor, afraid that if I looked at her, she would see through my facade.

"Oh Bella, I warned Edward this would happen." I flinched as she said his name. "Not the pregnancy, of course, but the falling apart. I went to see Charlie just last week, and he said that he hadn't seen or heard from you since you left. You didn't even say goodbye. He got back from work, and you were gone. Clothes and all. Well, obviously you know that. Why Bella? How could you just leave Charlie like that?"

"I couldn't tell my father I was pregnant. It would have killed him. I was already killing him with my zombie-like state. He has Jacob and Billy looking out for him now. He'll be okay. And I sent him a letter last Christmas, and a gift. He was the one who didn't reply."

"And does he know about..."

"No! And you can't tell him!" I almost shouted at her. I got another pain, only this one was stabbing right through my body. I doubled over and breathed through it, like I had seen on so many rented DVD's for first time mothers.

"Maybe you should come and see Carlisle? Esme would love to see you again. Oh and I'll call Jasper home, and Emmet, even Rose..." I cut Alice off before she could say his name again.

"Alice, I have missed you all so very dearly, but I can't come to see you all. I'm moving on. It doesn't even hurt that much anymore." I smiled sadly at her, wishing that I could go back and see the Cullen's again, and make it how it used to be. Another sharp pain ripped through me.

"That's it," before I could breathe, I was in Alice's arms, and falling out of her dorm window, "We're going to Carlisle."
