It had been about three weeks since I Emmett and I had sex.
"Ah man.." I said looking at the test that said positive. I grabbed my phone and called him.
"Emmett.. you need to come over. I'm at the Hales house. I didn't want my dad to see the tests.."
"I'll be right over" He said, trailing off.
Emmett made it, and I showed him the test. He looked terrified. "My mom said that they aren't 100% accurate, so she bought me more than one. I'm going to go take these ones okay?" I patted him on the shoulder because he looked sick.
I can't be pregnant…I have cheer. Can't break my own rules. I can't be pregnant…I have cheer. That's all that I could think of.
I went and sat down next to him, and we waited in silence for a while.
"Bella. I want you to know, that if you are I will do everything in my power to support you. I don't care what you do.."
"Emmett. I don't want to have a baby." I cried. He grabbed me around the waist, and we waited.
"Shit." We whispered together. They were all positive. "I'm calling my dad" I said, tearing up again.
"Daddy…can I come in and get a check up.. Okay. Love you. Come on Emmett. My dad is free."
"I don't want to meet your dad there. What is he gonna say?"
"He's just gonna be sure if I am or not."
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
I ran to my dad as I entered his office. I told him everything. "All the tests were positive" I cried into his lab coat.
He sighed and grabbed my hair "We'll figure this out sweetie. Come now, stop crying. We'll go do an office 100% positive test okay baby?" I nodded and he led Emmett and myself to the maternity unit of his hospital.
"Now Bella, this test will be accurate as we can possibly be. It will determine if you are pregnant or not. All I have to do is take some…blood"
"Dad" I whined. He knew how much I hated my blood and needles. "Please."
"It's the only way Bella. Stop whining, and be a big girl." He said. "On five. One, two, Three" he stuck me on five.
"Fuck" I whispered.
My dad chuckled at my language. "Lucky your mother wasn't here. Have you told you mother? Have you told your parents son?"
"I've told mom"
"I haven't told anyone in my family. My sister is suspicious, because she knows Bella and I had a date. Shoot. Bella, what about Jasper? What is he gonna do when he finds out that I had sex with you?
My dad chuckled again, knowing that Jasper and I aren't really together. "oh boy" He whispered through his laughs.
"He's not going to be mad because-ow- because we aren't a couple. It was all a ploy to get Lauren off his back." I said.
"There, done," my dad said taking the needle out of my arm, while handing me a trash can, just in case.
"What?" Emmett asked while picking up his phone. "What Alice?"
Emmett left the room to talk to his sister. My dad put his hand on my shoulder, and looked at me. I could see the anger in his eyes.
"Bella, I am very disappointed in you. However, I love you very much, and if you are pregnant, I will help you however I can. We'll finish this talk at home."
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" """""""""""""""""""""""""""
I was grounded. All I could do was go to school and practice. Other than that I was home bound.
"Okay girls! We're going to work on our flyers today! Alice! Pay attention!" I yelled to my cheerleaders. "We are staying late to work tonight. Until about 7. You get a 30 minute dinner break now." I heard the groans, and just smiled. "Honestly," I said to Rose, "I just don't want to go home and be alone" We laughed together until my phone rang. "Yes mom?"
"Honey your results came in. We need you home right now."
"Oh, I'll be home in 15 minutes." I hung up and turned to Rose. "I'll be back in 45 minutes. It's a family emergency."
She nodded and I left. My phone rang again "Hello?"
"It's me. I'm calling from a pay phone." Emmett said from the other line.
"My results came in" I heard him inhale a big breath.
"I'll call you back okay?"
"Bella wait-" but I had already hung up.
I made it to my house, and my mom came and hugged me, Edward looking confused.
I grabbed the paper from her hand and scanned it with my eyes
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
"Mom. I ran out of gas. Can you spot me a 20?" I asked my mom
"No Emmett. I can't afford it I'm sorry. Maybe your father can."
"No" He said.
"Fuck." I said as I flopped on my bed. Bella got her results back, and I don't have gas to get there.
"Hello Brother Grumpy Bear "Megan said as she came in and sat next to me, Derrick along with her.
"Oh shoot sorry doll face."
"Don't worry about swearing in frot of me and Derrick, it's carl you should be worried about" She laughed. "When did you start having such bad language in the first place. Mom would kick you out if you said words like that in front of her."
"I have no clue." As children our parents instilled in us to never swear. Alice never got it, but I hardly ever swore, that is, until we moved here. Huh, it must have been The Cullen's' and the Hales..
"Emmett, will you come play with us?" Derrick questioned shyly. I hadn't been around much lately with Practice. Bella got her dad to pull some strings for me to be on the Football team. I started late into the season, but I was already a starter.
"Sure Buddy" I said, grabbing my jacket. "Put some shoes on and we'll go jump on the tramp, hows that sound?"
"YAY!" They called.
I laughed as I walked out after them, This could be me one day. But not as a brother. As a father, and that thought scared me. Shitless.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" """""""""""""""""""""""""""
We were tuckered out. We lied on the trampoline, gasping for breath.
"Hey. Remember in Tennessee when Derrick broke his foot"
"Shut up"
"Yeah I do. Oh man. I'm sorry bud, but that was great" I said laughing at him. He had been hanging out with this girl he had a crush on, and she kissed him and he hit her on the arm, ran away and climbed a tree. Then, falling to his demise, from a whole 7 feet, he landed on the girl, and broke his foot in five places. He has a rod in it now.
"It's wasn't funny. It hurt" He whined.
Megan and I just laughed.
"Emmett honey, come inside please. Your father and I need to talk to you."
"Oops. That's my call to go." I said, patting Megan and Derrick on their heads. They got up and started jumping as high as they could.
"Yes mom?"
"Son, we know that you have no gas. So we will give you a full tank. But we can't keep doing this. You need to get a job. Your mother and I can't afford to pay for you. Why do you think Alice doesn't have a car?"
"Ugh. A job? Really? I don't want to. The Cullen kids don't have to pay for their gas."
"Yes but they are spoilt children. We don't own 3 hospitals and a restaurant. We are middle class citizens honey, and we don't like you hanging around them. They are bad influences."
"Mom."
"Hush. Go and find an application. Here's a fifty, put it in gas. Now go." My father demanded.
I was acting like a child, and I realized this. I stomped out of the house and slammed the door.
"I've been to every fucking joint in this town, and no one is hiring. How can no one be hiring?" I said, as I walked past La Luna. The Cullen's Restaurant; this was my last chance. I took a deep breath, and opened the door.
"Welcome to La Luna! How ma-Emmett?" Rosalie's voice greeted me. I forgot her family was co-owners of the business.
"Yeah. My parents are making me find a job. I didn't know you guys worked…Oh wow that sounded rude."
"Haha no it's okay. Our parents, the Cullen's to, think that we should earn money, more so than just be given. All though we are given a lot." She laughed awkwardly. "Here is an application. You can fill it out now, my Dad is here"
I filled the application and waited for a response from Rose's dad.
"Ah! You're Emmett McCarty?"
"Yes Sir"
He asked the typical questions, and I was told that I had a job as a waiter. Thank god, they had a waiter quite yesterday, and I qualified.
"MOM! DAD! I got the job!" I called as I walked into my house, but I stopped short as I saw Carlisle, Esme, and Bella seated on my couch.
"You are dead" the little voice in my head called.
"Emmett that's great, however, we just now heard that you might become a father?" My mother sounded so disappointed, and my father just shook his head. I saw Alice in the kitchen listening in, and Megan and Derrick up on the stairs.
"I uhm…uh" I was speechless.
"I'm sorry Emmett. I thought you were home.." Bella said.
"Well Emmett. What do you have you have to say for yourself?" My mom asked me.
"Now calm down Gia. Let's let my daughter share the results before judgment comes across shall we?" Esme Jumped in, saving my butt.
"It was negative. I'm not pregnant" Bella said, crying into her dads chest, with what were tears of relief I guessed.
"oh thank god" I whispered, Alice cheered from the kitchen, and my mother sighed.
"Go to your room son. We'll talk later." My father said.
