I wasn't standing out in the hall more than 10-15min when Bella came back out. I wasn't a fool I knew exactly what James had done to her and it was most certainly obvious to the rest of the house that saw her. Her wasn't as neat as it was and she was moving a little slower. James has obviously been quick and very rough with. It made me wonder if he was ever gentle or if he was always hard and rough with her. From what I have seen, I was guessing that Bella hadn't seen much if any kindness the past few years. She walk right pass me, straight for the door. I could see pain and how of ashamed she was from behind her mask that she had on. I silently followed her out the car waiting for us. I opened her door just as she was reaching for the handle and let her get in first, once Bella was in I got in next to her and off we went.

Bella watched the scenery go by outside, didn't even spare me a glance. I took that as cue and just sat back and watched her out of the corner of my eye. Car ride to the doctors office was silent and awkward. The driver never turned the radio on or payed us any attention the whole way. He dropped us off and gave me his cell number to call him when we were done and he would pick us up.

I followed Bella into the office and stood back a little to give her privacy. While she checked in i took in our surroundings, noticing that there were all women here and you could plainly see that quite a few them here were pregnant. It told me what kind of doctor she was seeing, so I guessed that Bella was here for her yearly examine, 'at least James is taking care of her. When Bella was done she found a seat. I sat down next her watching what was going in the room.

"Go ahead ask me, I know you are dying too" Bella said quietly but looking every where but at me.

"Are you okay, I am sorry I got you in trouble I didn't mean to it just slipped out." I apologized, glancing at her.

"It didn't matter I was already in trouble before that." She responded not answering my question, which told me she was hurting more than she was letting on.

"I am going to get you out of there, i'll find a way."

"Does anyone else know bout this?"

"No, I haven't talked to anyone in a few months and I won't tell them till I have you out of that place. It could do more harm than good. Alice misses you like a crazy and always believed you would come back to us, even though your parents had you declared dead a few years ago, their counselor push them to do it, but they are still a mess and miss you like crazy. I don't think they will ever get over it till they see you and process that you are alive."

"I am dead, wow,"

"Isabella" a nurse interrupted

Bella stood up and I followed suit. "your coming in?" She asked

"Orders" I said knowing she would get it. She only nodded before walking to the nurse with me behind her.

"Follow me" the nurse said. The nurse took her blood pressure, heart weight, weight, and some blood and had her change into a gown.

We waited in silence for the doctor, I could tell Bella was nervous, she had always hated hospitals and I could tell now was no different, though I couldn't figure out why they drawn blood, it wasn't like she was pregnant.

The doctor knocked before coming, "Hello Isabella, how are you and who is this?"

"I am not to bad today, this a friend of mine, Ed-Caleb, he is working for James."

"Hello,nice to meet you" he said to me before opening "so we are doing your 16 week check up correct,and a sonogram."

"Yes," Bella answered, glancing at me from the corner of her eye. I sat there in shock, she was pregnant with Jame's child,shit. Everything just became a lot more complicated.

"Okay,the technician will be in a little bit to the sonogram. Even though your 16 weeks now, we are not of the woods. You were close to half way last time before you had miscarriage, if I remember right."

Bella looked down and nodded.
