I do NOT own any of the Twilight characters!
I gulped as Edward reached out for the phone. He let it ring a few more times before answering. "Hello?" He sounded completely out of breath as he spoke. I could faintly hear Charlie's voice. "Edward? Why didn't Bella answer?" He took a second to come up with a reason. "Oh, she's in the bathroom. Did you need something?" He sounded so polite when he spoke. "Actually, I just wanted to let her know that I'm home. Would you mind bringing her over? Soon?" I was about to say 'No' but Edward answered faster than I could think. "Of course, Mr. Swan. I'll see you in 5." Edward closed the phone, and slowly…ever so slowly…looked to me. I was frozen in horror. Were we going to tell Charlie about….I placed my hand on my still quite flat stomach. "Edward…" I choked. Edward wrapped his arms around me. "We have to tell him sooner or later." I looked forward. "Later sounds good." I mumbled.
Edward carried me on his back as he ran back to his house. His entire family was standing in the living room. Alice walked forward to me and smiled. "It's going to be ok." She said in her sweet little voice. Emmett came up and gave Edward a friendly punch in the shoulder. "Good luck, man." He said. Edward smiled and nodded. I bit my bottom lip, hoping that it really was going to be ok. Hoping that by some odd twist of fate that Charlie would really understand. Edward and I walked out to the garage to get the Volvo. He helped me in (as always) and we got going.
It only took about 4 minutes (the way Edward drives) to get to my house. I saw the cruiser in the driveway, and it became difficult to breath. I tried to catch my breath before Edward figured out that I couldn't breath. He took my hand and led me to the door. Charlie opened it and hugged me. "Hey bells! I missed ya! Come on! Have a seat, both of ya! We'll catch up!" I moaned at his attempt to relate to teens. "Dad, act normal. You're not exactly a teenager anymore." He chuckled, as did Edward, as we all took a seat, Charlie sat in his recliner while Edward and I took the sofa. "Mr. Swan, Bella and I have something to tell you. Now I don't blame you if you freak out…" Charlie's eyes widened. "What did you do? Did you rob somebody? Commit murder? Come on! I'm losing my mind over here!" I decided it'd be better if I told him. If Edward told him, he wouldn't be here for more than half a second. But then again, he was a vampire after all…"Dad." I said. "We didn't commit a crime. Don't worry. We still don't have criminal records. But we did do something." Charlie hadn't quite gotten the clue. I sighed. "Dad…I'm-"Edward interrupted me. "She's pregnant, Charlie. With me." I got a tighter grip on Edward's hand as Charlie tuned red in the face. "ISABELLA SWAN, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!? YOU'RE A DISGRACE TO THE SWAN FAMILY!!! PACK YOUR THINGS AND GO! JUST LEAVE AND NEVER COME BACK! NOW! GO LIVE WITH YOUR BABY DADDY, LIVE IN A DUMPSTER, JUST ANYWHERE BUT HERE! GO!" I ran upstairs crying with Edward right behind me. I started throwing everything I had into my suitcase. I couldn't really see what I was doing because my eyes were filled with tears. Finally, I got everything pack and I ran out the door. I threw my suitcase into the Volvo and Edward and I drove off.
__________Time jump: 2 hours later_______
I sat on the bed in Edward's room, still crying. My own father hated me. My mother would hate me soon enough. It was all too much. Edward had me on his lap, his arms wrapped tightly around me. "Edward…he…hates me…" He shook his head. "It took him by surprise. He'll come around." Edward and I were the only ones home, so I cried louder than usual. I pushed Edward away and ran downstairs. I started to rummage through the kitchen drawers until I found what I needed. I had a large knife in my hand. I almost smiled at the thought of myself being dead. No one could hate me, only morn for me. That would make them sorry. This was the only solution to my problems. I could hear Edward's quick footsteps as he rushed into the kitchen. His eyes widened when he saw me holding the knife up to my throat. "Bella, there are other options!" He said hastily. "No there isn't. Not anymore. It's too late Edward." Edward rushed towards me and I put the knife closer to my throat. "I'll do it! Don't think I won't! I'll do it! Don't come closer! I'll do it right here in front of you! I will! I'm giving you the chance to walk away so you won't see me die! Now go!"
Before I could successfully slit my throat, Edward had my hands pinned behind my back. I dropped the knife and just lost it. My problems were only beginning. I fell to the floor, crying so hard that it hurt. Edward sat beside me and rocked me gently. "Bella, its all ok. Come on. Shhhh…" And then, Edward did something I never thought he'd do. He reached down, and put his hand on my stomach. I nearly gasped. I didn't know Edward really cared. I put my hand over Edwards, which showed no sign of moving off my stomach. I looked to Edward, and he smiled my favorite crooked smile.
Alright!
So there it is! I'm really sorry it's short, but I had to hurry
up and get it done because it's getting late and I need to get to
bed before I get grounded. Then you'll have to wait 2 weeks for
another episode. I will almost certainly update again tomorrow. I
need at least 5 reviews if you want me to post again tomorrow and I
need more votes. DO you want the baby to be a boy or girl, and what
should they name it? Thanks!
