Chapter 6: Congratulations, it's a....

Today is July 12 and I am officially 5 months pregnant. Things have gotten a lot better the last few months.

When I found out I was expecting, I started eating again and started getting back into how life before Edward was, the only difference was that I was pregnant.

Everyone is really excited today because now that I'm 5 months the doctors will be able to tell me the baby's sex. My dad was hesitant about me keeping the baby at first but now, I think he's the most excited of all of us.

I still remember the fear I felt trying to work up the nerve to tell him.

****************flash back***************

"Alice I can't do this," I said in a panicky voice as we sat in her car in front of my dad's house.

I had been stressing out about telling Charlie all day and I had this over whelming feeling that once the words slipped out of my mouth he was going to kick me out of the house calling me a slut. Even though Alice and Rose kept reassuring me that he would never do that, I still had my doubts but that might just be the hormones talking.

They have been doing that a lot lately, just the other day I started cry at a Charmin commercial! That's right, I cried because of a toilet paper commercial. But that's not the point.

I kept telling myself that I didn't want to tell him because he would kick me out, however I think the real reason is because I'm afraid of seeing the disappointment on my father's face. I didn't mean for it to happen, it just did. Accidents happen.... right?

I kept telling myself: 'Tomorrow, I'll tell him tomorrow.' I told myself that for a month and a half, clearly that method wasn't going to work, so that leaves us where we are now.

"Yes Bella you can you just have to think positive," Alice started. I internally rolled my eyes, positive is what got me in this mess. "Now lets go before you change your mind and run to the local 7-11 and pig out on Doritos and blue slushies." This time I really rolled my eyes, that was one time and she won't let it go.

"OK whatever lets get this over with," I mumbled as I trudged up the drive way. I thought Alice was right behind me but when I got to the door and turned around to tell her something I saw that she was pulling out of the drive way and speeding down the street.

Bitch. I totally should have seen that coming.

I pulled my phone out of my stretchy maternity pants, it read:

from: Alice
to: Bella

I know that you probably really pissed off right now but it was for your own good. Good luck, love you.

That stupid little f....

"Hey Bells is that you?" my father's voice called from inside. Gulp!

I quickly opened the screen door and made my way to the living room where my dad was sure to be.

"Yeah, D…Dad it's m… me, we need to tal…talk." I stuttered like a moron. I made my way to the doorway of the living room and saw that my dad had turned the volume down on what ever sports game he was watching. He quirked an eyebrow at me as if saying 'this doesn't sound good'. Oh Dad, you don't know how right you are.

Now, I've always been more of a 'rip the band-aid' kind of girl, so I decided to take that approach.

" I'm pregnant," I blurted out. There I did it, and it kind of felt good to finally tell him.

That feeling lasted all of 5 seconds, because then I saw the look on his face. He looked torn between mad, disappointed, hurt, and shock.

20 seconds..............

56 seconds................

178 seconds.............

250 seconds..............

The silence was killing me. Then finally he spoke.

"Who's the father?" he questioned, his voice completely neutral. His face still trying to decide witch emotion it wanted to be.

"I....um.. Ed..ward, " I said, my voice shaking.

Charlie's gaze flickered to his gun hanging on the coat rack by the door. He stared at it for a few seconds probably realizing he couldn't kill someone that was thousands of miles away.

He looked at me and I realized his emotions had finally picked disappointed. I felt my shoulders slump and tears well up in my eyes.

He must have seen the tears because the next thing I know I'm wrapped up in my dad's arms sobbing on his shirt while he rubbed my back and whispered, "Sh...sh it's OK, every thing going to be OK."

My dad had never really been on for expressing emotions but I'm really glad that he's pushing aside those feelings to comfort me.

However, I knew that this conversation was not over and that we had a long awkward one looming right over our heads.

***********************end flash back********************

So, I'm making my way to the doctors with Alice to my right, Rose to my left, Emmett behind her, Jasper next to him and Charlie next to him. The sad thing is that they didn't come to support me, they came because they have been making bets on if it will be a boy or a girl and didn't want to wait for me to get home to find out who won.

So far the poll looks like this: Alice, Charlie, Emmett were betting on it being a girl and
Rose, Jasper, I thought it was a boy although I would be happy with either.

We make our way into the sterile-smelling building and checked me in with the gray haired nurse who tells us that it will be a few minuets.

As soon as we sit down Emmett starts complaining about how long the doctors' taking.

"Bella how long has it been." Emmett whined.

"Emmett," I nearly growled, "it's been exactly one minute since the last time you asked me."

He got a pouty look on this face then slumped even farther in his seat. Rose saw this and rolled her eyes. Alice and Jasper were too caught up in staring at each other to notice Em's childish attitude.

Looking at Alice and Jazz makes me miss Edward even more. It makes me think how he should be here with me not the mini Brady bunch. When I found out about the baby I tried to call him and tell him but his cellphone number had been changed. I even tried to get the Cullen's' new number from the hospital but they refused to give it to me. He doesn't have a myspace, facebook or anything like that, so I was at a dead end, and left with the fact my baby was going to grow up with out a father.

I was broken out of my inner stirrings by a bright haired nurse calling my name. My groupies and I made our way down the hall and in to the familiar ultrasound room. The room is pretty small so it was a tight fit but we all got in, the nurse left us after saying the doctor would be right with us.

After the door shut Emmett murmured, "Yeah, I've heard that before." We all chuckled quietly.

We waited a few minutes then the doctor came in. Dr. Mason is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet, she was so supportive when I told her I was keeping the baby. we have grown very close these last few months, she answers all the questions my family and friends can't answer about birthing, contractions and things like that.

"OK Bella today's the big day you excited?" Dr. Mason questioned in her cheery voice.

"Definitely," I said, my voice shaking slightly.

"Alright then I need you to lift you shirt up a little so I can put the gel on your belly,"

I quickly did what she said and flinched a little when she put the freezing cool goop on my belly.

As soon as she put the mouse thing on my stomach and started moving it, the baby's soft heart beat filled the silent room.

I looked around the room and saw the looks of aw on my friends and families faces.

"Well congratulations Bella you will be giving birth to a little girl and a little boy," Dr. Mason said with a huge smile on her face.

Everyone mouths dropped open except for Emmett who shouted, "Oh my god Bella your having a mutant child: half boy, half girl. Sweet."

Dr. Mason sent Em a disapproving glare and said, "No, Bella is having twins."

Then Emmett's mouth dropped open like the rest of us. I was the first to recover. "So you mean I'm going to be a mommy twice?" I questioned, trying to grasp the concept of twins.

"Yup," was her curt reply.

Holy crap! Does Edward do anything half way?


So what did you think. Let me know.
