CHAPTER 7
I did not sleep well. Nightmare after nightmare. I kept opening my eyes hoping to see Edward there but of course he wasn't and the nausea was intense. Charlie came to check on me before he left for work and told me he'd call the school and tell them I was still too sick.
I slept on and off all day but the nightmares wouldn't stop. In most of my dreams Edward was leaving me all alone.
It was the same pattern for most of the week. Charlie threatened that if I wasn't feeling better by Friday that he would make me go to the doctor. When Friday morning came I knew that the doctor was my only hope. I decided to get dressed and grabbed my favorite pair of jeans. I could barely pull them up and forget buttoning them. What the heck is going on????
I went into the bathroom and looked in the full length mirror. My body looked gaunt except for my abdomen. There was a well defined bump there! Sick..... tired.... and a bump. OH MY GOD!!!! There was no way. I had only ever been with a Vampire and plus it had only been a week.... but there was no other explanation.
I knew I needed to buy a pregnancy test but I also knew there was no way possible to do that here in Forks. What was I going to do???? I lay down on my bed and thought up a plan.
The money from Alice!!!
It was obvious to me now that the Cullens weren't coming back. They were gone and I had nobody to ask about this. I decided to drive to Port Townsend and if the pregnancy test said what I knew it would I wasn't coming back. I wouldn't be the poor pathetic single teenage mother. I wasn't going to be THAT girl. At least not in Forks. I grabbed a small bag and threw a few things in. My passport, my scrapbook, my CD from Edward and a couple of books plus a change of clothes. I would go past Port Angeles to Port Townsend and find a store there. If the answer was as I expected at this point I would hop on a ferry and find my way up to Canada. I was going to have to find somewhere remote because this baby, if he or she existed was going to be half vampire and in civilization people were bound to notice something.
If the Cullens came back I was sure Alice would know how to find me.
I hopped in my truck and put my hand on my abdomen. A baby. Edward's baby. I knew I could do this. As I drove off looking at my house fading into the distance a tear streaked down my cheek. If I was pregnant I would never see Charlie or this house again. But I would find Edward, no matter how long it took. I would never stop searching.
