I hated being sick.
Esme had made me several bowls of soup but I hadn't been able to keep them all down. I had been told to stay in bed all day, to rest and recover, but as soon as Esme had left I had pulled on a large pair of sweats, a jacket and headed out to the back yard. It was chilly out here but very peaceful.
The back patio was filled with comfy chairs, and had a fire pit. I started it and sat close to it to feel the warmth. A few weeks ago I never would have been able to do this, but now I felt safe. I knew that Emmett was the only reason I felt safe.
I was lightly dozing off when I was woken up by Emmett.
"Bella, what are you doing out here?" He asked, "You should be inside, resting. And you didn't txt me all day."
"I'm sorry, I was sleeping." I said sitting up and running my hand through my hair. "How was school?"
"Horrible, without you there." He said pulling a blanket around my shoulders before sitting beside me. We stayed out for a few more minutes before he led the way in for dinner.
Carlisle was bringing the spaghetti onto the table and when he set down a basket of garlic bread I gagged, pushing back from the table. I noticed that Esme did the same thing.
"No garlic for Esme." He said smiling down at her.
"Bella, are you alright?" Edward asked and the others looked over at me.
"My stomach is a bit off." I said with a small smile. "The garlic was just too much, I guess."
"Bella, have you and Emmett been using protection?" Carlisle asked and several people choked on their food.
"Um… there isn't really a reason…" I said, my cheeks flushed red. "I mean…."
"Bella, I think you should take a pregn-" He started to say, but I pushed out of my chair.
"I can't get pregnant." I said to him angrily before I ran up the stairs to Emmett's room and broke down crying on the huge bed. Emmett came in a few minutes later and pulled me onto his lap, rubbing my back. "I can't get pregnant." I repeated to him.
"Are you that it's 100 percent sure that you can't?" He asked me and I pushed back to look at him.
"The doctors said that I couldn't." I said. "You told me that you were okay with that!"
"Bella, you've been throwing up, your sensitive to certain smells, your breasts are bigger and more sensitive, you've been really emotional, and you've lost some weight. All of those are the signs of pregnancy."
"I can't get pregnant!" I screamed at him. "Don't you think I want to have my own kids? I would if I could! You said you were okay with adopting! If you couldn't handle that you should have told me! I gave up hoping for kids a long time ago."
I rummaged through the dresser for some of my clothes. I got fed out and I grabbed a sweater before I ran outside to grab my bike. I revved the engine and drove home. My house was dark and cold when I got there I turned on the heater and the lights. I checked to make sure that all of the doors and windows were locked. Then I called my best friend Jake, who I hadn't seen in weeks, and asked him to come over.
Twenty minutes later him and several of his friends arrived with pizza's and a bunch of stuff to eat later. We were watching movies when I grabbed a pack of top ramen to eat and lit the stove. I giggled when I saw that they were all staring at me.
"Bella, when did you start to cook?" Sam asked me, walking into the kitchen behind me. I didn't like that and I knew he could tell when he moved away again.
"I'm sorry-" I started to say before someone started to pound on the door. I turned the stove off and walked out of the kitchen only to see Jake having a pissing contest with Emmett. When he saw me he started to walk towards me but Jake moved in front of him.
"I don't think so, Cullen." Jake said and Sam moved over towards me. "Bella, why don't you go upstairs so I can kick his ass."
"No!" I shouted at Jake and suddenly my stomach churned. I ran for the bathroom as I heard the sounds of a fight and as I was emptying my stomach gentle hands pulled my hair back.
"I'm right here, Bella." Emmett said quietly rubbing my back until I was finished. I rinsed for a long time before he carried me back out to my couch. "Esme made chicken broth and crackers. For your stomach." He said and he made me drink and eat them all very slowly, under the watchful glares of Jake and the guys. I wasn't surprised when Jasper and Edward walked into the house.
"I feel better." I said and went to brush my teeth. When I came out of the bathroom Emmett pinned me up against the wall. I couldn't hold back a moan as his hands cupped my breasts. He had been right about my sensitivity. When his lips touched mine I tangled my hands in his hair and kissed him back. After a few minutes I was gasping for air and practically begging him to touch my breasts a bit harder.
"I couldn't get you to the edge of orgasm just by touching you here three weeks ago, Bella." He said and I knew he was trying to be logical about this but I wanted more. I reached down between us and squeezed his dick in my hand. He groaned and his touch became a little heavier. "Shit, Bella, stop." He said as he picked me up and carried me into the closest room, which was my room. He laid me on the bed and sat between my thighs. "Bella, I love you. Nothing will ever change that. Not a single thing could ever make me stop loving you or wanting to be with you every day for the rest of my life."
Again he touched me, rubbing me over my jean covered crotch until I was desperate.
"Take the test, Bella." He said, pulling away from me. "Take the test and then I will give you everything you want."
I cried out in disappointment when he stopped touching me. I curled up onto my side and he wrapped his arms around me.
"Please Bella, just take the test. For me. I want to make sure you are okay."
The honesty and worry in his voice was enough for me to concede. I nodded against his shoulder and I felt him sigh. I took the test that he had brought over and before the test was ready he pulled me into the shower and made love to me. We were just sitting in the shower and I was holding onto him while the water poured over us.
"Are you scared?" I asked him.
"No." He said, with a small smile. "Whatever happens, happens. I will stay with you and love you forever."
"I'm scared." I whispered. "I used to want children. But after James I gave up all of my hopes of ever having my own. I don't want to get my hopes up and be devastated when I'm not pregnant."
Emmett stood up, and got out of the shower. I watched him wrap the test up and cover it. He helped me out of the shower, turned off the water and wrapped me in a towel. He carried me and the test into my bedroom and the two of us cuddled into the blankets. I squeezed my eyes closed as he looked at the test.
"Open your eyes and look at this, Bella." He whispered and I felt my joy erupt inside of me when I looked and saw that the test was positive.
"Emmett…" I whispered, looking up at him as tears filled my eyes. "I… I'm pregnant."
"I know." He said with a smile. His hand was making small circles on my tummy and I laughed when his other hand came up and cupped my breast again.
"Stop it." I said, batting his hand away. "This is serious!"
"I want to hold you!" He said, pouting and this time both of his hands came up. I dropped my head back on his shoulder with a sigh and he kissed the top of my head.
"I need to go see the doctor." I said, my own hands resting on my tummy. "There are vitamins and stuff that I need, and-"
"Bella, shhh." He whispered happily. "We'll make that appointment tomorrow morning. Carlisle knows quite a few world renowned doctors. Our baby is going to have the best care that is possible."
I nodded against his chest and turned so that I was facing him.
"I love you." I whispered, cupping his face and kissing him. For the longest time we just kissed and I was content until I felt his hard length rubbing against me. I bit my lip as I lifted up and tugged off his towel.
"Turn around, Bella." Emmett said and I backed up onto his lap. His hands held my hips, keeping me from impaling myself on him like I wanted to. "Slowly." He said, gently pushing me down on him.
I let out a silent scream when he was fully inside me. When I tried to move he stopped me.
"Don't move." He growled. "I'm so close I couldn't handle it right now."
I spent the next few moments writhing on him as he rubbed my clit and cupped my breasts. Finally he thrust into me several times and we both came together. I was sobbing onto his shoulder when I finally came down.
"I love you. I love you so much, Bella."
