Chapter 11
Numbness:
Bella had no idea how long she sat there, too numb to even reach and press the call button for Rosalie.
Finally, they came in, took one look at her face, and knew he'd died.
"Bella..." Rose reached down and gently unclasped Bella's finger from his.
"Come on, he's gone now. There's nothing for you here anymore. Let's go down to the kitchen."
"But I promised I'd stay with him," she babbled.
"He's gone," Rose insisted, pulling Bella to her feet and tugging her forward the door."The nurse has thing she's got to do, Legal and medical things. And I need to talk to you."
Bella let herself be hustled out of the room, but just before the door closed, she looked back and saw the nurse pull the sheet over Edward's face.
"Bella, how do you feel?" Rose asked
"Numb," Bella replied." I don't feel anything." If she let herself feel, the pain would kill her.
"That'll probably be just for a little while." Rose said sympathetically. Bella nodded. "Edward wanted me to be the one to tell you."
"Tell me what?" Bella asked dully.
"You're his heir," Rose said, and smiled at the stunned expression on Bella's face. "He didn't have much. But what he did have, he left it to you." rose said…
Bella didn't say a thing, she was shocked… all Edward had now belonged to her…
The material stuff won't bring him back…when he left he took a part of her with him…
Two days later, accompanied by her parents and Alice, she sat through the funeral service and tried to relate the words of the minister to the Edward Cullen she knew, because it sounded like he was talking about someone else.
For one crazy moment, Bella wondered they'd come to the right church. But Rose and Emmett were sitting in the pew right in front of her, so it was the right funeral.
He was gone, dead. She'd never see him again.
At the burial service, she stood by his casket and told herself he was at peace, but her words were cold comfort. He might be at peace, but those were only words.
He was dead, gone.
And she was really angry.
Weeks later…
The next few weeks were a foggy haze to Bella. She forced herself to go back to school and tried hard to actually pay attention in class. Before long, she'd learned that if she sealed her emotions into a tight little corner of her heart, she could actually get through the day so that's what she did.
Her parents were concerned about her; she could see it in their eyes, so she tried hard to pretend that everything was just fine…
A couple of months after Edward's funeral, she awoke with a very bad case of head rush. A wave of nausea hit her; she had to reach for the sink in the toilet.
She vomited twice.
"Morning sickness…" she cried aloud with a laugh, it was im...posible.
She got ready to school with these thoughts on her mind; she hasn't been feeling well since the third week after Edward's death…
After school that day she went to the pharmacy and bought a pregnancy test, but she was way too scared to open the box and do the test so she didn't do it that night. She knew this could happen since when she was with Edward they didn't use protection and since she was a virgin she wasn't on birth control; The next day she felt worse, so she determinate to do it after school.
When she got home decided to finally take the test to ease her doubts, her mom called her. "Bella sweetie" Renée said "yes mom" Bella replied.
"I'm going to run some late errands and I want you to come with me" she announced, Bella sighed "you need to get out of the house…" she said. "Yeah mom okay, I'll go with you." Bella said resigned.
The next morning, she didn't make it to the bathroom and vomited on herself and her green bed sheets. She groaned and went to the bathroom; she took her pajamas off, the pajamas she owned from Edward. She stayed in her underwear, and she removed the bed sheets and threw them on the floor with her clothes.
She went to her bathroom again and opened the cabinet. She took out a test, followed the instructions, peed on the stick then waited for the result. She knew that the result just took three to five minutes; she showered and got ready for school.
But before she knows about the result, her mother called her from outside.
"Bella, Alice's waiting for you downstairs. Are you ready? It's late, Bella." her mother yelled while her hand knocked on the door.
Bella hid the test on her bathroom drawer without looking at the result, "Yes," Bella opened the door.
"I'm ready. Bye mom..." then she left for school.
School was awful since she wasn't feeling well. She of course hid the symptoms from Alice, so when the bell rang, telling everyone that school was over, Bella rushed Alice to take her home quickly.
Need to be alone. She thought to herself.
"So what you're planning for this afternoon?" Alice asked when Bella got out from her car. "I don't know yet…but I think I'll do homework, I'm very behind on that" Bella said bluntly
"Okay, just let me know when you are done, maybe we can watch a movie later…" Then she left.
She went inside the house and found her parents sitting on the sofa in the living room.
"Hi Mom, Dad" Bella greeted them, and then grinned. But when she realizes her parent's serious faces, she couldn't help but ask them.
"What is wrong?" she asked
"Put your stuff on your room, and get ready to leave in five minutes." Her father said with murdered voice. "Mom sorry but I have homework to do…" Bella started. "No Bella do what I just told you. No buts" Renée said.
"Okay, but what is this? Mom, Dad, I'm confused...what did I do"
"You have three minutes left." Her mother cut in.
After put her stuff in to her room, Bella rushed down to meet her parents.
"Okay, I'm ready." she said when she reaches the living room."Let's go," her father said, and then three of them went outside the house for the car and then left...
Her father parked the car in front of the place with a sign that read, "Dr. Hunter's abortion Clinic"
"What is this mom?" she asked confused. They didn't answered her "daddy what are we doing here?" she asked her father; But Charlie didn't answer.
"Let's get inside," her father ordered.
"Why we here?" she dared to ask
"To take the 'thing' out" her mother answered dryly.
"What you mean?" Bella asked again
"Bella, we can't keep your baby. You're too young, and what people might think about this?"
"Mom...what are you saying…"
"Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about! I saw your sheets covered in vomit! I know you haven't been feeling well, your new package of pad's been closed since I bought it three months ago, and I saw the test on your drawer!" he mom said.
Oh no, no, no, no! This meant that the test was positive…Edward left a piece of him with her…she was pregnant, she was carrying his baby! WAIT, her parents wanted to kill it? WHAT!
"But mom, dad… You can't do this! It's a crime!" Bella exclaimed.
"Who is the father by the way?" Charlie asked Bella gulped; they never knew about her and Edward's relationship, they only knew that she cared for him while he was alive.
"Answer Isabella!" she took a deep breath. "Edward Cullen" she said. Silence followed after her declaration.
"The boy you attended on the hospice? The one who died?" Renée said Bella nodded. "He was my…my boyfriend" she admitted. Charlie and Renée sighed; "unbelievable" Charlie muttered under his breath, "Let's go Bella!" he said opening the door.
"But mom, dad this baby is the only thing I have left from Edward…please I want to keep it" Bella begged.
"No, no, no Bella!" Renée said.
"Bella, look at your sister. Nobody wants to be her friend, she's jobless, lifeless! Do you want to have the same life like her?"
"Mom...please don't..." Bella said not wanting to remember her sister Leanne or Leah like she called her... They kicked out her sister because she got pregnant young. And now they were planning to kill her baby…her and Edward's baby! There was no way in hell; she was going to let them do that!
"I'm sorry, Bella. Oh God, the story repeats! What's wrong with this family!" Renee cried helpless. First Leanne now Isabella.
"Mom, Dad, I want keep this baby." Bella cried out again "the decision is final Isabella, the baby has to go either you want it or not! And that is my last word now get out of the damn car!" Charlie shouted yanking her by the arm.
"No mom! Dad! I'm keeping this baby! Is the only thing I have left from Edward! And there's no fucking way I'm going to let you take it away from me!" Bella exclaimed holding her stomach.
"Isabella! Watch your mouth" Charlie said
"Bella it's the best way for you" her mother said with bitter tone.
"No is not! This is what you guys want, let me go dad. Please you're hurting my arm" Bella replied.
When Charlie let go, Bella had a bruise on her arm.
They dragged her into the clinic, there has to be a way out she thought.
She had to fight for her baby, her little piece of Edward…
So what will Bella do? Will she commit to her parent's order and proceed with the abortion or she will be faithful to Edward and keep the baby? PLEASE REVIEW!
