Chapter 7: Awkward

EmPov

Bella was pregnant, and she was keeping the baby. At first I was frantic. Keeping a baby that was a product of rape, what was she stupid? Had Jake caused more brain damage than we knew about? The demon spawn of Jacob Black growing in my sister's stomach. How could she? And then Bella placed her hand on her stomach. Bella sighed.

"Bells are you sure about this?" I noticed Alice holding her other hand. How long had this little pixie been my sisters support system while I wasn't there.

"Yes, Emmett. A little me running around in the world. A new clumsy Bella. You're going to be an uncle Emmett. You'll be this little one's father figure," Bella smiled contently while looking down at her stomach.

Suddenly, she grabbed my hand and placed it on her stomach. A baby. Bella's baby. I knew deep down that I couldn't hate this child, Jacob's or not. It was still my sister. It was a little Bella, and who could hate that?

I smiled sadly. "An uncle. A little Bella. We can do this, Bells, I'll help you. We'll all help you." Alice and I hugged her tightly.

"Little one, it'll be okay. You are loved." She smiled as three hands rested on her stomach.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a long night of discussion on the baby and how to break to everyone, Bella decided we would wait. She didn't want her first meeting with my friends to be her saying, "hey guys, I was raped, and guess what I'm preggers!" I could really see her point. I was now on my way to the airport to pick up Rosalie, Jasper, and Edward. I hadn't seen them in six weeks and I was really getting antsy, especially about seeing Rose. I knew she'd love Bella and they'd be best friends quickly. My mind kept racing back to last nights events.

With these new discoveries the Doc decided that Bella could leave the hospital in one day. He said it was because she was doing so well, but something told me he was more afraid that if she stayed in town it increased the chances of Jake finding out about the baby. I was more than willing to get her out of town to keep that from happening. Packing would be a little slower than expected, as now we were packing for two teenage girls instead of just one. The guys didn't know about Alice yet. I hadn't spoke to them since Charlie broke the news. I wonder how'd they'd take her.

"Flight 523 from Forks Washington now at Gate 15." A nasally voice echoed on the loud speaker.

That's them. Their finally here. I watched as the passengers left the plane. Then I saw them, my friends. First, Jasper and Rose smiling brightly. Smiling after Tanya's death I'm surprised Edward had put up with that. When I left Forks he was taking Tanya's death pretty hard. Then I saw him. Edward was smiling as well. He looked almost happy. After six weeks Edward was okay, but why was he wearing a long sleeved shirt? It's Florida for Christ sakes!?!

"Hey guys, over here!" I screamed at three heads that turned in my direction. They made their way toward me.

"Emmett you didn't have to scream, we would have found you. You are a giant you know," Rose laughed.

"Yeah I know, just figured I'd give you a heads up." I blushed. My crush on Rose was getting harder and harder to hide. I turned to the guys. "Eddie, Jazz it's good to see you guys."

"It's good to hear you Emmett, and don't call me Eddie!?!?!".

"Okay, jeez just playing with you. What up with the shirt by the way?" I questioned as Edward and Jazz exchanged nervous looks.

"It's um, nothing Emmett. Another story for another time." Edward looked down at his feet.

"Okay, then. Let's get going." I stammered. Edward was nervous. Our Edward nervous. I would get to the bottom of this.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I drove the guys to mom's house and lead them up to Bella's room. The moving truck was parked in the driveway.

"Rose, I'm leaving you in charge of packing Bella's clothes while the guys and I get all the furniture. Once we finish here, we'll head to Alice's place." I started.

I was met with three strange glares.

"Who's Alice?" Edward broke the silence.

"Well, she's Bella's best friend." I began. "She's um, she's um…." How to break the news to them?

"Spit it out Emmett!" Rose yelled.

"She's moving back with us. She's going to live with us. Bella needs her, now more than ever!" I screamed.

"What do you mean Emmett?" Rose's voice became softer.

I felt tears forming behind my eyes. How could I keep this from them?

"Bella will tell you when she's ready." I turned and left the room. I needed some time alone.

So, that's it. Chapter 7 down the drain. A very jealous Rose. Edward and Jasper little suicide secret. Things are getting tricky. What do you think so far? Is it worth continuing? I'll never know if you don't review. So once again….REVIEW PLEASE!
