Hi. I know it's been months. I suck at the whole updating in a timely manner thing. I'm working on it. I promise this length of time won't happen again.

I own nothing but this plot. This is unbeta'd. All mistakes are my own.


Chapter Ten-

After I called Edward, I decided to take a nap. The day had been pretty hard on me emotionally and I needed some sleep. When my head hit the pillow, I felt like I hadn't slept in years. Obviously that wasn't the case but you know how it goes with pregnancy. I mean I knew the gist of how everything worked. I was a nurse after all and we had to learn OB and peds information in clinicals and classes.

Even though I was dead with tired, my mind was running a million miles a minute. What would Edward say when I told him? I know I'll get it if he wanted to leave but part of me hoped he would stick around. What was I going to do about my job? I was supposed to start this week. I doubt they had maternity leave so what was I going to do when the baby came? Family Medical Leave Act would be applied yet since I would only be there for eight months. What was Charlie going to think? Would he disown me? He's a stellar dad but you never know how small town folks would act about this shit. Although it wasn't like I was 16 and pregnant living in his house so maybe he wouldn't be too hard on me.

Thank god for my mother and the money she gave me. I mean her deposit was in the seven figure range. I guess wealthy wasn't how I should describe Phil. Filthy Rich is more like it. I was shocked when they tied the knot and mom came to town. I was more shocked that she found someone who could deal with her "special" qualities. But none the less I was really grateful for the money. It had helped tremendously with moving here and not having to get a job right away. I guess I should put some aside for the bean and college.

- - - WoS- - -

I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I remembered was rolling over and seeing that my clock read 4:30pm. I grabbed my phone to see if I had any missed calls. I had three text messages and two voicemails. I checked my text messages first since they required the least amount of effort. Man I was fucking lazy.

Allie Bear: Hey Bells I tried calling. Is everything alright? [Sent at 2:00pm]

Allie Bear: Bella where are you? It's been like two hours. Please call me. [Sent at 3:15pm]

Allie Bear: That's it! I'm coming over with my spare key! [Sent at 4:16pm]

I loved Allie but fuck could she be over protective sometimes. Although I guess with the "we need to talk" voicemail I shouldn't have expected any less from her.

Next I chose to call my voicemail.

One message was from Alice. I immediately hit 7. I knew she was on her way over so it wasn't like I wouldn't get to talk to her soon. The next one was from 312-555-9473.

"Hi Bella. It's Edward" At least he remember to tell people who he was when he called I thought. "I saw you called and want to call you back but you seem to be busy. Um… Well give me a call. I'm free tonight if you want to hang out. Alright well talk to you soon. Bye."

Awww….He was so freaking cute. I pressed 9 and saved the message. But I wouldn't tell him that I saved it because that would seem slightly crazy. I looked at the clock and realized I only had about 5 minutes until Alice would be busting through my door so I just texted Edward really quick.

Hey. Can you come over at about 8 tonight? I'll order pizza and we can talk.—Bella

He replied almost instantly, which of course made me giddy like a fucking ten year old with a crush. God I hoped he didn't walk.

Sure. I'll see you then and pizza is on me! =] -Edward

Who was I to argue if Edward wanted to pay for pizza? After I read his message, I got up to go pee. Man it felt like all I did was pee today. Thankfully I knew the cause because if I didn't it would be highly annoying.

- - - WoS- - -

Pretty much as soon as I walked out of the bathroom, I heard Alice yelling by the door that she was coming in.

"Bella…Are you here?"

"Yeah Allie. I was taking a nap when you called and texted me." I said while walking out to the living room. I could see the worry leave her face.

"Well I mean you went home with that Edward guy. I just wanted to make sure he didn't kill or maim you after your phone call."

"No. Not at all. In fact, I fell asleep on his shoulder last night and woke up in my bed with donuts and muffins waiting for me in the kitchen this morning." I said with a huge grin. My grin fell after I remembered why I called her in the first place though.

"Allie did you come alone?" I asked her.

"Yeah" She replied with questioning eyes. "Jazzy had to work. Why?"

"Well I called for a reason. I need to talk to you and I would prefer to do it alone. But we only have a couple hours because Edward's coming over at 8 tonight." I said.

"Oh, Okay." She answered with a smile.

"Do you want anything to drink before we talk?" I asked.

"No. I'm good." She said heading towards my couch.

I followed her silently and sat on the love seat with my legs crossed. I grabbed the throw blanket I had over the back and covered up. I was a little chilly for some reason.

"Sooo…." Allie said.

"So, um I went to the doctor today ya know for my physical and tb test before I started work next week." I said. Alice nodded at me to continue.

"Anyway, I needed a refill on my birth control to because I ran out a few weeks ago. Well you know they always take urine samples and uh mine came out positive…" I rushed out.

"Positive for what Bella?" Alice asked.

"Pregnancy" If it wasn't so serious, I would have been cracking up at the range of emotion that washed over Alice's face. First she looked confused which turned to shock and then she looked pissed and sad all at the same time.

"Is it Tyler's?" She asked in an angry tone. "I mean I thought you said you hadn't had sex with him in months so how are you pregnant. Did you have a good-bye fuck and not tell me?"

I loved Alice but her talking to me like I was a child was NOT going to fly.

"Actually Alice, remember when you picked me up at starbucks, oh I don't know, five weeks ago? Well that's what happened. Apparently we didn't use a mother fucking condom and here I am knocked the fuck up. But if you could get off your high horse that be fan-fucking-tastic!" I yelled.

That shocked look was back by the time I was done with my rant.

"I'm sorry Bella. I don't know what came over me. I'm happy for you if you are. I'm just shocked I guess. I mean of course thinking it was Tyler's and forgetting about the Edward fling. I'm really sorry. Are you happy?" She asked.

I calmed down almost instantly. I guess I understood. I would probably cry if Alice was pregnant with a douche bags child as well.

"I'm coming around. I talked to Jake earlier and he helped me decide what I wanted to do. I'll probably head back to Forks soon to talk to Charlie. And like I said Edward's coming over tonight so I'll tell him then."

"Yeah. Well then like I said, I'm happy for you. How do you think Edward will react?"

"I'm not sure. We've hung out once without fucking so who knows. I don't really know anything about him other than he's a resident, his mom is Esme Cullen who works at our hospital and his sister in law is your wedding planner. But I'm going to give him a chance for an out. I mean I'm choosing to keep it so he should have a choice not to so we'll see."

"Are you nervous?"

"A little. I want him to stick around but only because every kid deserves a shot at both parents. But if he doesn't want to try ya know. I get it. Maybe he wants his trophy wife, 2.5 kids and a house with a white picket fence, I would understand." As cool as I was trying to play it off, I was worried at how he would feel but I did mean it when I said I hoped he would stick it out. It was always hard just having one parent to rely on.

"Well, you'll call me after he leaves tonight right?" She asked.

'Of Course Allie." I said with a smile.

After that the conversations was easy and without much tension. Before we knew it, it was 7:15.

"Well I'm going to get going." Alice said as she stood up. She gave me a tight hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Call me if you need anything and I'll be right over."

"I will Alice. Thank you. And I'm sorry for exploding on you. I don't really know where that came from." I said with a shy smile.

"It's fine Bella. I was out of line. I just love you sweetie and was worried. But I shouldn't have acted like that towards you. I'm sorry." She answered.

"Okay no more or I might cry." I said with a laugh.

"Damn pregnancy hormones getting to you already?" She replied with a wink. Alice knew I was a little over emotional at all times. Pregnancy had nothing to do with it.

With one last promise to call her after Edward left, she was gone. Now all that was left to do was fix the mess that my nap made of my hair and wait.


How do you think Green Eyes will react? Until next time!
