Chapter 4
BPOV
I had finally been released from the hospital for which I was glad I hated hospitals. The doctor told me to make sure that I drank plenty of fluids. I was also to try and avoid stress because it wasn't good for the baby or me. I was also supposed to set up an appointment with an OB-GYN. I had decided to try and find a doctor in Port Angeles I didn't want rumors to start going around town about me. I still haven't told Charlie. I only told him that I passed out because of getting dehydrated and stressed out. I was afraid if I told him about the baby he would get disappointed.
I was now sitting in Jacobs' garage. It had been two weeks sense I was released from the hospital. I had an appointment with a doctor for the baby in two days. Jacob and I had been talking about when the baby would come and what I would do. I had already tried to find a way to get in touch with Edward. So far I haven't had any luck. I have had luck making plans though. I got accepted to the University of Washington on a scholarship so I was going to go to collage. When the baby came Jake would help watch it while I went to school. I had a month to find an apartment close to the collage. Jake was going to move in with me when I had the baby so that he could be there to help out. I was going to try to find a part time job so that I could afford the apartment, food, and what not.
"SO let's recap here so I get everything right. You don't want to tell Charlie yet. In two days you got an appointment with a doctor in Port Angeles. Because you don't want to go to a doctor here cause you're afraid of what they will say about you." Jake looked up from what he was doing to give me a pointed look. "Really bells you need to quit worrying about what people will think about you. You're going to be a mother people are going to find out eventually. It's not something you can exactly hide forever you know. And Charlie will start to notice changes in you. He'll be hurt if he finds out and you didn't tell him. Yeah he might feel a little disappointed but that's got to be expected you're eighteen pregnant and unmarried. Most parents want better for their children."
of course Jake would think I should tell people. But he did have a point in telling Charlie. He would be more upset if he found out in a different way then me telling him myself.
"Fine you have a point about telling Charlie but I still don't want to go to a doctor here. Will you go with me when I tell Charlie?"
I really needed a friend there with me. I would have rather it been Edward. But obviously that ain't going to happen. I wonder where he is? I miss him so much. Grr... I just need to get over him. Which is going to be hard seeming how I'm going to have his baby.
I noticed that Jake was giving me a strange look. It was like he knew what I was thinking. He knew that it hurt me when I thought about Edward. "Sure Bells I'll go with you to tell Charlie. But only if you stop over thinking things to death."
I scowled at him "I don't over think things." Giving him a dirty look to show that I wasn't happy with that remark.
"Sure you don't Bella." He gave me a disbelieving look.
I don't over think things I pouted to myself. I stood up from where I had been sitting in the rabbit. Walking from the makeshift garage I headed for my truck. If I was going to tell Charlie I was pregnant I was gong to butter him up first. I was going to make something good for Charlie's dinner. Maybe I'd make steak and baked potatoes.
"Come on Jake if I'm going to tell Charlie I mind as well do it tonight. And if I'm going to tell him I'm going to make sure he's in a good mood first."
Later that night
It was now or never. It was time to tell Charlie, I had put it off long enough. Jake kept motioning for me to tell him. I put the last dish away and headed for the living room where Charlie had disappeared to watch some sport on the TV.
"Hey Dad can I tell you something." I stood nervously in the doorway of the kitchen. Playing with the hem of my shirt and biting my lower lip.
"Sure Bells." My dad said not bothering to look up from the TV. Jake came to stand by me, giving me his support if I needed it.
"Dad can you maybe turn off the TV. What I have to say is kind of important, and I think you might want to pay a little attention. I don't want to have to repeat it. It's going to be hard enough o say the first time." I was still fidgeting with my clothes. Charlie looked up and noticed this.
"What's wrong Bella." I stood there trying to find the best way to tell him. Jake reached for my hand and squeezed it. I gave him a small smile and turned back to Charlie. I would just tell him straight out. Then run from the room if things looked bad."
I took a deep breath and began. "Dad I'm pregnant." My dad had a confused look on his face. Like he couldn't comprehend what I had just told him.
"Dad I'm going to have a baby." I said in a small voice. In a split second my dad's face changed to a look of outrage.
"Isabella Marie Swan tell me you are joking." Charlie yelled. His face turning red. I shrank back away from him. I had never seen my dad look like this. "Tell me you did not just say that you were going to have a baby."
Tears were streaming down my face. I was fighting to try and keep the sobs in. Against my wishes one escaped. Charlie face softened a bit and then hardened once again.
"Bells what about school? You have your whole life ahead of you. What are you going to do with a baby?" He had a disappointed look on his face. I knew that he was going to be disappointed so why did it hurt so much?
"Dad I'm still going to go to college. My having a baby isn't going to change anything. It'll just be a bit harder now. I've got everything planned out." I then told him my plan. He was still mad and disappointed but he was glad that I had a plan and was still going to go to college.
