Once again, I am not Stephanie Meyer and do not own Twilight. Just using her toys for my own pleasure LOL.
Chapter 11: New Beginnings
BPOV
I woke to the sound of raining hitting my window. I needed to get used to this, after all I wasn't in sunny Florida anymore. I looked around the room. It was so soothing. Charlie had decorated it using various shades of blue and black. My favorite colors. I was surprised he even remembered. My room consisted of a bed, computer and desk, a wardrobe, and a rocking chair. The chair had been the same one my parents had used with Emmett and I back before things feel apart. By Charlie bringing the chair into my room I knew he was okay with me keeping my child. I was now 7 weeks pregnant. Only 33 weeks to prepare everyone for this little one. I would not be able to hide my pregnancy much longer. My jeans were already beginning to be a little tighter, it was only a matter of time before everyone put two and two together.
I pulled my covers back and got out of bed. My things had arrived and the boxes were stacked in a corner. I'd have to remember to get Emmett to help me unpack. No lifting anything heavy you know. The whole baby on board thing. I opened the first box and was pleased to find my favorite pair of dark YMI jeans and a light yellow sweater. The next box had my undies and my toiletry bag in it. Whoever pack my thing were right on the money with the organization, it had to have been Rose. I smiled. I had a feeling she'd fit right in with Alice and I.
I made me way to the bathroom. I stopped at the sound of whispers in the kitchen. It was Emmett and my dad.
"Dad, she really wants this baby. I think it may be good for Bella. It will give her something to move on for. Remember what I told you about Edward last night? Do you really want to come home and find her like that?" Emmett spoke.
What had happened to Edward. I thought he told me the whole story. I'd have to ask him.
"I can see your point Em. I just hope your right. At any rate we've got plenty of room for another Swan, even with Alice staying. I've got to go to work now. Here's some cash, get the girls out of the house for a while. Get Bella's mind off things. And remember not too late tonight, back to school tomorrow you know. "
"Jeez, dad, I know I know." Emmett bellowed. I heard the door shut as dad left for work. I breathed a sigh of relief. Emmett had taken care of the baby situation with Charlie. A great weight was lifted off my shoulders.
I made my way to the bathroom to shower. I dressed as fast as I could and made my way downstairs. Emmett was still sitting at the kitchen table. In front of him were plates full of bacon, eggs, toast, and sausage. Along with tall pitchers of orange juice and milk. He looked longingly at the food.
"Morning Em." I pulled out a bar stool and took my place beside him. A door shut upstairs. Alice must be getting ready for the day.
"Morning Bells." Emmett reached over to hug me and pat my tummy. "Are my girls ready to eat this morning?" Great Em thought it was a girl too.
"Yeah Em, we're starving." Right on cue my stomach growled. I took a plate and filled it with a couple slices of bacon, one slice of toast, and some eggs. I filled a glass with orange juice and commenced my breakfast. I looked over and noticed Emmett was still not eating.
"Em, why aren't you eating?" I questioned. Emmett looked up at me from the food.
"Well I didn't know how much a pregnant woman could eat, so I figured I'd wait until you were done." He smiled. Silly Emmett.
I smiled. "Em, you can eat now. This is truly all I want. Besides I'm pregnant not trying to become the Good Year Blimp." Emmett laughed.
"Okay, Bella if you insist. " Emmett grabbed a plate and filled it with food. He was finished before Alice was even downstairs. As Alice entered the kitchen she grabbed a slice of toast.
"Having breakfast without me I see." She smiled as she nibbled on her toast. "So what's the plan for today? Can we go shopping Emmett? Can we huh? Can we?' She begged.
"Sure Alice. There's some things you guys need to get for school. After all Charlie says were all going back tomorrow." I frowned.
"Emmett I'm not sure I can do this. Your friends are okay with me but what about the others at school? It's only a matter of time before my secret comes out. Literally." I groaned.
" Bells, trust me. No one will say anything to the sister of Emmett Swan, and if they do they'll face my wrath." I couldn't help but laugh.
"Yeah, face the wrath of the worlds biggest teddy bear." Alice and I broke into a fit of giggles.
"Oh yeah girls, I'll show you teddy bear." Emmett jumped up from his seat.
"Alice run?!?!" I screamed. As Emmett made his way toward us. Alice made it all the way to the couch before Emmett tackled her and proceeded on a tickling spree. I grabbed a pillow and threw it at Emmett's head. It met with a thud. He quickly turned his glare to me. I knew I was in for it. I turned and ran. I tripped on the rug and proceeded to fall hard to the floor.
Emmett was quickly by my side.
"Bells, I'm so sorry. Are you okay Bells? Do I need to get a doctor? What hurts? Is anything broken?" Emmett questioned.
"Yeah, Em my wrist. Oh wait that happened a while ago now." I looked up at him. "Seriously, Em I'm fine, the baby is fine," I placed my hands protectively on my stomach. "Trust me I fall all the time. We'll survive. " Emmett frowned at my joke.
"Um, um," Someone cleared their throat. Oh crap. I looked up only to see Jasper, Rose, and Edward in the doorway. Had they heard the about the baby? By the looks on their faces I already knew my answer.
"We, um, heard um, you guys laughing and no one answered the door, so we, um, came on in, um, Bella did you say baby?" Jasper stuttered. They had heard. I had no choice but to tell them now. I would find out if they would truly be my friends or walk away as I fully expected them to do so.
"Guys I think you should sit down for a minute. There's some things we need to talk about. " They listened and made their ways to the couch. I sat in the recliner, while Emmett sat on the arm of the recliner. Alice was still sprawled out in the floor.
" Guys," I began not looking at anyone directly, "I'm pregnant and it's his." They were shocked to say the least. No one spoke for a while so I began again. "I'm about two months along. It happened when he raped me that day." I winced at the memory. "I'm going to keep the baby. I'll understand if you don't want anything to do with me. I can't keep the pregnancy hidden much longer as my jeans are already getting snug. I suppose you don't want to be associated with the school whore." I could feel the tears forming in my eyes. I was so happy to have this new family and now I knew they'd be leaving me. I looked up only to be met by three angry faces.
"Bella, we're your friends. Nothing, can come between that. Don't you know your in our family now? " Rose asked looking hurt.
"Yeah, Bella. Did you think we'd just shun you for carrying a mini-you?" Jasper smiled.
Edward said nothing. Instead he rose to his feet and made his way toward me. Then he took my head in his hands and looked into my eyes.
"Bella, we will never leave you. I will never leave you."
"Thanks Edward.' I wiped the tears from my eyes I was touched. They already accepted me and my child. It didn't matter what anyone else thought. Edward helped me to my feet and I was enveloped in a group hug by both my old family and new.
There was no more mention of the baby that day. I think everyone was trying to let me be a normal teen for a little while longer. We did go shopping at a mall in Port Angeles. Alice did mine and her shopping while I played Barbie Bella all day long for her and Rose. The guys never complained. They just carried our bags and made us rest on frequent intervals. I only guessed it was do to the baby. Emmett had made me eat three times. When I contested Jasper and Edward chimed in agreeing with him. At this rate I'd be getting fat fast. It was sweat how attentive they were being. At lunch Jasper and Alice had a private conversation, and I wasn't surprised at all to see them holding hands later that day. Emmett took his cue from Jasper and soon he had Rose's hand too. It had been quite a day. After several outfits for all of us, a new cell phone for me, and a "I'm the uncle" t-shirt for Emmett from Babies-R-Us we were finally home. I had went to bed already after splitting a pizza with Emmett and Alice. I had a doctors appointment with Dr. Cullen after school. Cullen, I wonder if he was any relation to Edward? Oh well. At any rate, I would see my baby tomorrow. I fell asleep to the sound of rain on my window seal and the thoughts of what my baby would look like dancing in my head.
