Chapter 8

4 months later (Bella is 6 months pregnant)

The last few months have been amazing. Joe had asked me to be his girlfriend 2 months ago and I of course said yes. He was an amazing boyfriend and Natalie told me that she had never seen me so happy before. Today was our two month anniversary and right now I was getting ready to go surprise Joe at his house.

"I'll see you later." I said to Natalie (Nick was at work) as I grabbed my keys and left. As I was walking to my car, I felt the baby kick and I giggled. I was starting to get really big and I'm surprised I can still fit behind the wheel. Yesterday I had found out that I was having a girl. Natalie had been with me and we were so excited to find out the news.

I drove to Joe's apartment and unlocked the door with the key he gave me. Even though we had only been together for a couple months, we were ridiculously close and trusted each other with our lives. As I walked in I heard a noise coming from his bedroom. His door was open and I when I walked in, I saw him having sex with some other girl.

"Excuse me?" I shouted. Joe and the girl both looked up at me and Joe's eyes widened.

"Bella, uh, I can explain!" He said, getting up and putting his boxers on.

"There is nothing to explain Joe! I can't believe you! I thought I could trust you. How could you hurt me like this?!" Tears were streaming down my face.

"I'm sorry Bella. I just-" He started but I interrupted him.

"No Joe, I don't want to hear it. We are over." I ran out of his apartment, crying uncontrollably.

"Bella wait!" But I didn't listen, I just kept running towards my car and left.

When I got home, I ran straight up to my room and cried into my pillow. I couldn't believe that he would do this to me. He seemed like the most perfect boyfriend but I was totally wrong.

"Bella? Bella are you okay?" Natalie ran over to me and sat down next to me on my bed.

"What happened?" She questioned.

"J-Joe! H-he," I couldn't get any words out.

"What? What did he do to you?" I could tell she was worried. She calmed me down and then asked what happened.

"I walked into his apartment and I found him in bed with another girl." I started crying again.

"Oh my gosh Bella, I'm so sorry. I can't believe him. What an ass."

"I know. I thought he was the best boyfriend but turns out he is just another lying, cheating jerk!" She just hugged me as I cried my eyes out.

Later on, after I calmed down, I went downstairs to eat some dinner while Natalie was in the shower. Joe had been Calling me and sending me texts all day. I made some Mac and Cheese and sat down at the table to eat it. A couple minutes later, I heard the door open and shut and Nick walked into the kitchen.

"Hey Bella-whoa are you okay? What happened?"

"Um, I uh went to Joe's apartment today to surprise him for our two month anniversary but when I walked in, I found him in bed with another girl." A couple tears streamed down my face.

"What? That does not sound like him at all. He better have a good reason as to why he did that. I don't understand why he would hurt you like that. Do you want me to talk to him?" He asked.

"If you want to I guess. I don't really care. I'm not going to get back with him." I replied.

"Okay, well I'll talk to him later, and I'm really sorry that this happened to you." He then walked out of the room and went upstairs. I finished eating my Mac and Cheese and sat down to watch some TV. I was flipping through the channels when Natalie came down and sat next to me.

"How are you doing?" She asked.

"I'm okay."

"Have you thought of any names for the baby?"

"Yeah. I have always liked the name Raina. I was thinking Raina Lee Cullen." I said.

"That's a beautiful name. I love it and it's so flowy." I laughed.

"Thanks." I said rubbing my huge stomach. For the rest of the night we just sat on the couch watching whatever we could find on the TV.
