to believe until proof is given is a rational position; denial of all outside of our own limited experience is absurd.

-Hospital-
They waited 20 minutes finally the nurse called Bella's name.
Nurse: Sorry for the wait we're really busy tonight…I'm going to take your temperature…You do have a fever 101.1 she wrote that down in Bella's chart.
Bella told her what else was wrong.
Nurse: Ok Dr. Bennett will in in a minute… she leaves
Minutes later Dr Bennett comes into the room.
Dr. Bennett: Hi I'm Dr. Bennett!
Jake: Hi.
Dr. Bennett: Bella it's says here that you're unable to keep anything down a fever of 101.1. That probably means that you're dehydrated I want to put an IV in to get some fluids in you. Question could you be pregnant?
Bella: Whoa whoa whoa back that up… a needle?
Dr. Bennett: A small one yes.
Bella: I'm going to pass out.
Jake: Sweetie sweetie….Bells…wake up…
Bella: Opened her eyes.
Jake: She doesn't handle needles very well.
Dr. Bennett: That's ok.
Bella looked away as Dr Bennett did the IV and got the fluids going.
Bella: Owwww….
Dr. Bennett: Sorry about that! He also took some blood. I'll put a rush on these…You do have the flu.
Bella: That's just great!
Jake: It's ok Bells I will take care of you.
20 Minutes later Dr. Bennett came back with the results.
Dr. Bennett: Congratulations you're going to have a baby!
Jake's jaw hit the floor.
Bella was shaking her head No that's not possible I can not have a baby when I was 16 I had cancer and because of the medicine I can't have a baby!
Dr. Bennett: Well can I let you in on a little secret we dr's. are sometimes wrong! He smiles.
Bella: You…you must have the wrong test results…because I CAN'T have a baby.
Dr. Bennett Unless there is another Isabella Black in this ER I don't.
Bella's eyes welled up in tears.
Jake: Are you sure?
Dr. Bennett: Positive! I'll leave you two alone. Congratulations! He leaves..
Jake: carefully put his arms around a sobbing Bella careful not to pull out the IV He began to cry we're going to have a baby Bells!
Bella: This is not real!
Jake: Look at me he touches her face…It is you're going to be a mommy, you're going to have my baby like you always wanted. Our wish is coming true It's our time now!
Bella: I love you!
