Disclaimer: So once again I am forced to admit that I don't own Twilight or New Moon. Sad, I know.
"What?! I can't do that!" I exclaimed.
"Of course you can," Aurora said calmly. She held the phone out to me. "Now dial."
"But-"
"No buts," she cut me off. "Trust me, this is going to make you feel a helluva lot better."
I reluctantly took the phone from her. Maybe she's right, I thought. Maybe I would feel better if I called. I dialed the area code then the number that I knew by heart. It was barely through the first ring when someone picked up.
"Bella!" Edward's voice cried out to me over the phone.
I was nearly passed out I was so relieved to hear his voice. I hadn't expected to react so strongly, but I had to lean against the wall to keep from falling over. I felt a queasy feeling I hadn't even known I had in my abdomen go away. I guess the baby was happy to hear Edward's voice too.
"Bella?" I could hear the worry in Edward's voice.
"Edward," I choked out. Once again, I was crying.
"Bella, why didn't you tell me?" He sounded like he was in pain and I couldn't stand it. I hated putting Edward in pain. "Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?"
"Wha- How did-?" My voice broke and I started sobbing. Charlie. He had read Charlie's mind. That's how he had found out.
"Bella, please don't cry," Edward soothed me. "I'm not mad at you. I know why you couldn't tell me, that was a stupid question. What I meant was why didn't you fight when Charlie sent you to Florida?" he pleaded. The hurt was so evident in his voice.
"I- I was scared. I was just so scared. Edward, I'm so sorry. I need you Edward. I don't know what to do." The sobs started up again.
"I need you, too."
"I love you Edward. I love you so much."
Before he could answer though, a long arm shot over my shoulder and disconnected the call. Instead of Edward's lovely voice telling me that he loved me, I got a dial tone. I spun around, ready to tear someone's throat out. Bitchy Bella was back and ready for action. What I saw stopped me in my tracks. My mother, with steely eyes and a clenched jaw.
"You are never to call that boy again!" she screamed at me. "Do you understand?!"
I was waiting for some smart remark to come out of my mouth or for my anger to boil over, but I was too high off of Edward's voice to do anything. I just stood there, dumb and silent. I knew that she couldn't keep me from Edward, and I knew that eventually I would come back down to earth. So what was the point in arguing now?
She grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the office. When I looked back I saw a completely flabbergasted Aurora looking back at me.
I yanked my arm out of her grip and walked over to the passenger side of the car and got in.
"You will not be getting an abortion," she said once we were out on the road.
I was about to tell her that I had changed my mind about it, but then thought that I might as well let her suffer a little since she just hung up on my boyfriend. I just shrugged my shoulders. i saw her hands tighten on the wheel.
"You know, I was having a conversation back there." I was starting to wonder why I wasn't so upset. Normally, I would have been majorly pissed off if she had done that. But I was just sitting there, watching the scenery race by. This wasn't normal.
"I told you, you won't be talking to that boy again."
"That boy happens to be my baby's father."
"I don't care if he is your baby's daddy," she said nastily. "You will never speak or see him again!"
There was a jerk in my uterus. All of a sudden I was mad as hell and had my teeth bared, ready to do some damage. "I don't know who the hell you think you are telling me I can't see my own fiance!"
Her head whipped around and she glared at me. "Don't you ever speak to me that way-" I cut her off.
"Don't you ever tell me that I'm not allowed to speak or see Edward again!" I screamed at her. It felt like acid was burning through my middle. It didn't burn me though, it exhilarated me.
She had her eyes back on the road but I could tell she was restraining herself. "If you say one more word-"
I didn't let her talk. "Shut up! I don't give a damn what the fuck you say!" Rock on bitchy Bella, rock on! I thought. "I am going home!"
Renee slammed on the brakes. I looked out the windshield to see that we were back at her house. The sound of the car door slamming caused me to jerk into action. By the time I had my hand on the door handle, she was already throwing it open and hauling me out by my arm.
"Ahhh!" I could tell by the pain radiating up my arm that it was going to bruise. "Renee! Let go!"
She only squeezed harder. "I am your mother and you will call me mom, dammit!" She started dragging me into the tiny throw-up house.
I planted my heels into the ground and leaned back, bracing myself against her. "You are not my mother now Renee!"
Before I could even blink, her hand shot out and hit me across the cheek. I didn't even think, I just through my shoulder back, balled my fist up, and punched her, right in the nose. I leaned into it, too, and soon I saw blood running down the lower half of her face. She fell back onto her butt, clutching her face. As she howled there like a spoiled brat, I ran into the house, and into my closet-like room and slammed the door behind me. Then I collapsed. The pain in my stomach was too much. The acid had built up steadily into a fiery pit of searing pain. It melted into my veins and coursed through my helpless body. I screamed until my throat was raw and I could scream no more.
As the pain grew worse, I started to thrash. I kicked over my nightstand and the glass on it crashed to the floor. Water soaked my hair and clothes, and involuntarily rolled into the shattered glass. The small cuts from the tiny slivers of crystal were nothing compared to the fire ripping through me. I continued to thrash until I was bruised and bloody and couldn't move anymore. I lay there, pain still running fiercely through me.
The last thing I remember before I lost consciousness was a clear voice ringing through my head.
"I am sorry mother, it said. I have caused you this pain because of my carelessness. Please, you must find a way back to Forks."
Ok, here's what's going on. I need suggestions on a baby name. When you review, post a name for a girl and boy, because I'm not going to tell you which it is. My favorite will make it into the story.
Also, if you read the Author's Note I posted titled 'If You've Read Bella's Side and Cowboy Emmett READ' I'm also holding a little contest for that and it has everything to do with the readers of Bella's Side. If you come up with a good title for the summary in the note then there will be a surprise for you at the end of this story. BUT YOU HAVE TO REVIEW. OTHERWISE, I WON'T KNOW WHAT TO NAME BELLA AND EDWARD'S KID AND IT WILL BE SOMETHING HORRIBLE LIKE BOB OR ELSIE.
