Chapter 10

"Ness hurry up!" I shouted.

Nessie stomped down the stair. "I'm not feeling so good," she sighed.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I'm just a little dizzy."

I touched her head and it felt warm. But that wasn't out of the ordinary. "Baby I think you feel fine. Come on, let's get going."

Nessie dragged her feet out the front door. She got into the back of Edward's car with Jacob. Jasper sat in the front of the car. Emmett had convinced me to ride with him, Alice, and Rosalie in Rose's car.

I climbed into the back. Emmett was in the front with Rosalie. I sat next to Alice. She was touching up her makeup. Rosalie was wearing one of Emmett's long Tee-shirts with a pair of super short shorts.

"What is with the outfit?" I questioned.

"It makes me look hot while showing people that I belong to Emmett. He told me he doesn't like it when people don't know that I'm his. We talked about it last night."

"When did you make time to talk? You're always so busy keeping Jake and Nessie up and… spending your alone time."

"Haven't we been through this already?" Rose asked. "I don't know why you complain so much. You got everything you could ever want. You got to be a vampire when you didn't have to! You get to spend eternity with Edward! And even though he's a vampire you still had a baby!"

Rosalie became quiet. "Is that why you are always giving me death glares?" I asked.

She shrieked and pulled out of the driveway. "Why don't you adopt then?" I asked.

"Because I wouldn't damn a child into this horrible afterlife!" Rosalie fought.

"What horrible afterlife? Rosalie give it a break already will you? I love this life! My daughter is happy!"

"Of course she is! She can still have children! She's only half vampire you know!"

"My daughter…" I broke off mid- sentence. "Oh… God!" I gasped.

"What?" Alice asked.

She put a hand on my shoulder. "You don't think…" I trailed off once again.

"Spit. It. Out!" Rosalie shouted.

"Do you think Ness is pregnant?"

"What?!" Alice and Rosalie gasped.

"What?" Emmett copied them in a girly voice, batting his eyelashes, and giving his hand a wave toward me.

Rosalie slapped him in the head so hard I think I heard something crack. "Ouch!" Emmett yelped.

I noticed a small crack on the back of his marble head. I gasped. The crack healed back together.

"Rose not okay!" I shrieked.

"Whatever? The point is why the hell do you think your daughter is pregnant?"

"She is crying all the time and feeling dizzy. She's been wearing my night gowns to impress Jake."

Emmett snickered at that. I pulled the lever on the seat that could adjust how far back you sat. The seat fell backwards and Emmett screamed like a girl.

Alice laughed quietly to herself. Rosalie was still angry. Emmett was squirming and trying to figure out how to fix the seat. It had landed on top of me. I quickly pushed it up and back into place.

Emmett looked satisfied. "Hey Bellaaaaaa!" Emmett whined.

"What?" I hissed.

"Is Nessie really pregnant?"

I leaned back in my seat and shook my head, unsure of what to think.

I turned around and looked at Edward driving his Volvo behind us. I took a deep breath before pushing my shield away. Hey, I thought.

Edward mouthed hey back.

I have a bit of a theory of Nessie's strange behavior lately.

Edward tensed up. Jasper did the same, sensing Edward's feelings.

Edward nodded for me to go on.

Don't freak out, I warned him.

Edward nodded his head, cautiously, wanting me to continue.

Promise me you won't freak out?

Edward rolled his eyes. I took that as a sign to continue on.

What if Nessie is pregnant?

So fast, before I could really even make sense of what could happen, Edward screeched his car to a stop. The next thing I knew Edward had Jacob on the ground outside on the pavement.

Edward had him pinned to the ground. Jacob was so surprised he actually looked scared.

"How the hell did this happen!" a scream sounded out.

"Rosalie stop the car!" I shrieked.

Rose chuckled darkly and kept driving. "The mutt could use a few good punches."

"What if he hurts Jacob? Or what if he gets hurt?"

"Bella he is Edward freaking Cullen. He can get away with almost anything."

I ripped my phone from my pocket and was about to dial Edwards number when Rosalie pulled the lever on Emmett's seat and he landed on top of me again. He turned his head and our eyes met. "Hello," Emmett laughed nervously.

I growled. "Get him off of me!" I yelled.

Emmett sighed and struggled a little before giving up and saying, "I can't."

Another growl started in my chest. I threw my hands up and was about to break the seat when Rose said, "You break it you buy it."

Hen we finally pulled up into the parking lot Rosalie pulled Emmett off of me. I kicked the seat up as I go out and ran into the parking lot. Not long after Edward pulled up with Jacob, Jasper and Nessie.

"Thank God!" I sighed as I ran up to Edward and wrapped my arms around him.

Then I pulled back and slapped him. He touched his hand to his face and said, "Ow!"

"How dare you!" I shrieked. "Were you trying to kill him?"

Edward was hesitant. "L-look Bella, I'm sorry I-

I slapped him again and he broke off mid- sentence. "I trusted that you would act like an adult about this!" I growled furiously.

Edward opened his mouth to talk but froze, probably hearing thoughts from other people. He cursed silently and said, "Bella they're staring," through his teeth.

I turned around and saw many eyes staring at us. "Oh no," I whispered. "Did I growl?"

Edward nodded. "Isn't my growling ring tone cool?" I asked out loud. Edward rolled his eyes. "Just watch it," I muttered.

Just then Nessie came storming out of the car. "How dare you! How dare she tell dad I'm pregnant! Jake and I were careful! Anyway we haven't even done anything here! How could we concentrate on anything with Mr. and Mrs. Let's be as loud as possible all night long over there!" she shrieked, pointing at Emmett and Rosalie. Rosalie bit her lip and Emmett sunk down and hid behind Rosalie. "Dad could have killed Jake! Do you remember what the word vampire means! What kind of mother are you!"

Nessie grinded her teeth and stomped her foot while screaming loudly. But she quickly became quiet when she realized the growing crowd.

"Whoops," she squeaked.

I thought over everything I could say that could make the situation better at that moment and thought of something to say.

"You'll definitely get that part," I lied, plastering a fake smile on my face.

"What?" Nessie asked, and then her eyed grew wide. "I mean… Yea! I knew you'd think so!"

People began to slowly look away. Nessie moved away from me gradually and shot me a glare before she ran into the building. I sensed Jake come up behind me then.

"What have I done?" I whispered. "This is all my fault."

Jake put his hand on my shoulder. "I think she just had another mood swing," he said. "She hasn't exactly been herself."

"Do you think she's pregnant?" I asked.

Jake shrugged. "There is only one way to find out."

"But she's only fifteen."

"Bella, she grows quicker then the rest of us. You have to understand that."

"I know," I sighed. "But what will you do if she is pregnant? You'd be a father."

Jake froze at that and spaced out. He nearly fainted but I held him up. I put my cold hand on his head to keep him awake. "Whoa," he whispered. His voice turned higher and softer. "I can't be a father. Look at me. I'll scare the kid half to death. One second they'll be screaming at their father and the next second they'll be running from a werewolf."

"You'd be a good father," I assured Jake.

He shrugged and walked off into the building.

Later at lunch when I sat down next to Nessie she had a strange look on her face. "Honey are you okay?" I asked her.

"I just feel sick," she said.

"Are you alright?" I asked.

She shrugged and buried her face in her arms. I rubbed her back softly. Her breathing became more even after a moment. That was until Emmett walked in. "No!" Edward warned, reading his mind.

But Emmett ignored Edwards. He walked over and punched his fist into the table next to Nessie's head. She shrieked and jumped up. The table had cracks where his fist had collided with it. Nessie's mouth hung open.

"Emmett!" We all yelled.

Nessie's breathing was quickened again. "Hey pregno," he said to Nessie. "When's the little were vamp human do?"

"I'm not Pregnant Uncle Em," Nessie said.

"Sure, sure," Emmett said, winking while he sat down.

"I'm serious," Nessie defended.

"Did you use protection?" Alice asked.

Nessie's cheeks turned red. "Yes Aunt Ali," she murmured.

Jasper looked away, looking like he was embarrassed. "Uncle Jazz are you picking up my emotions?" Nessie asked.

Jasper sent a wave of calmness through us all. "Not anymore," he sighed in relief.

After math I went to study hall and was surprised when I inhaled the sent of Jeff. He was sitting at the same table that we sat at last time. I sat next to him. "Didn't you have a concussion?" I asked him.

"It was very minor," he shrugged.

"I'm sorry about that by the way."

"It's fine. It's not like Emmett meant it. It was just an accident."

I nodded. "So you're feeling better?"

"Yeah. Mostly. Just a bit of a headache left. But I have a question. Did you break up with your brother?"

"Excuse me?"

"I mean that Edward guy. You were yelling and slapping him today."

"Yeah, we got over that," I said. "We are perfectly happy. And we are getting married as soon as we get out of high school."

Jeff bought the lie but kept looking at me as if I were crazy. Just then Emmett came bursting through the doors. "Bella your daughters throwing up!" he yelled.

I hit my head against the table as everyone turned to look at Emmett. "You have a daughter?" Jeff asked, incredulously.

"It's an inside joke with my siblings. They say I am always too overprotective of her. They call me her mother. It's stupid."

I quickly stood up and walked over to Emmett and punched him in the arm. "Ouch!" Emmett whined.

"Be careful with what you say," I hissed. "And Nessie's throwing up?"

"She ran out of English and started throwing up. Jake thinks she's pregnant."

I quickly pushed past Emmett and went to check on Nessie.

"Ness?" I called when I walked into the bathroom.

She was sitting on the floor in a stall. "Mom?" she asked. "I think you're right. What if I am pregnant?"
