I stared at the white stick in my hand. The little smiley face seemed to grow bigger as I continued to gawk at it. I eventually snapped out of my daze and threw the stick into my trash and walked slowly back into my room. I lay down in my bed and curled into a ball, and then the tears came. Once they started, I couldn't stop them. I was glad dad wasn't home, so he couldn't bother me and I wouldn't have to tell him yet. I knew he would be angry, but I hoped he would still be there. He was the most important person in my life. After a few hours, the tears subsided and I got up to eat something. The doorbell rang and I slowly went to answer it. I opened the door to see the one person I was dreading talking to. One look at Jasper and I broke down. I completely collapsed in front of him in a heap of tears. He looked shocked for a second before crouching down in front of me.
"Bella love, what's wrong?" his voice was laced with worry. I couldn't answer through the heavy flow of tears and just continued to sob uncontrollably. He lifted me up and kicked the door shut with his foot. He walked up to my room and laid down on my bed, pulling me tighter to him. He stroked my hair as I clung to his shirt for dear life.
"Bells, whatever is wrong, it's gonna be okay. But I need you to calm down and tell me what's going on." Jasper said in a soft, calming tone. I still couldn't speak, so I just pointed to my trash can. He gave me a confused look and walked over to the blue bin. He lifted the white stick and his face went blank. He dropped it, and walked in a daze to sit on the edge of my bed. Another round of tears came down my face and I turned away from him. I felt the bed shift and he placed his hand softly over my stomach.
"It's gonna be okay." He whispered and kissed my cheek, lying behind me. I continued to sob and he gently rubbed my belly.

Bella's sobs eventually died down and I heard her even breathing signaling she'd fallen asleep. I was still in shock from her news. A baby? Me, a father? Sure I'd always dreamed of having a family with Bella, and had thought of proposing after college. But we're only 18. What if we can't handle this? What if she didn't even want the baby? In the middle of my mental nervous breakdown, Bella began to wake. She turned in my arms to face me. Her face was red and her eyes were puffy from crying, but she seemed calmer. She looked into my eyes and offered me a small smile.
"I guess we have to talk about this." She sighed as I nodded. "I want to keep the baby." She said in a small voice. I was relieved.
"I was hoping you'd say that." I told her honestly.
"But what if I'm like my mother?" I knew her mom was a difficult subject. She was worried she'd leave her child like her mother did to her.
"Bella, from what I've heard, your mother was inconsistent, irresponsible, and child-like. You are a wonderful, caring, mature, responsible woman. You can handle this." I said, looking her straight in the eye.
"But what if we're not ready for this? We're only 18." She said worriedly.
"We can do this together. And I've always wanted a family with you. So what if it's a little early? We love each other and this baby is going to be loved no matter what." I emphasized that by lifting her shirt and kissing her belly, making her smile. Her smiled faded, replaced by surprise. She pushed me off her with surprising force and ran into her bathroom. I quickly followed, holding her hair back and rubbing her back as she retched into the toilet. We she was finished she quickly brushed her teeth and went back to her room. I sat on her bed, pulling her into my lap.
"We still have another thing to discuss." She said softly.
"What's that?" I asked.
"Telling everyone." Shit. She was right. My parents would be pretty calm about it, but Charlie would shoot me and Emmett would bring me back to life just so he could beat me to death.
"You're right, we should tell our parents right away." I said reasonably, though terrified.
"My dad will be home tomorrow, I think we should tell him first." I nodded. "We also need to schedule a doctor's appointment.

We decided to tell Charlie first since he was the most likely to overreact. We found him in his chair, watching ESPN. I sat on the couch with Jasper next to me. He grabbed my hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze.
"Dad, I need to tell you something." Charlie turned the TV off, sensing my seriousness.
"What is it Bells?" I took a deep breath and looked at Jasper who gave me a small smile that told me to continue.
"Dad. I'm p-pregnant." I said with a shaky voice. Charlie simply nodded, but I could tell he was fuming.
"And what do you plan on doing?" he asked, his voice was surprisingly even.
"Well Jasper and I have talked about it, and we've decided to keep the baby." He nodded, and then stood.
"Can I speak with you in the kitchen Jasper?" Jasper nodded and stood, kissing my forehead before following Charlie into the kitchen where I prayed he would not be murdered by my father.

Once we were out of Bella's earshot, Charlie turned to me.
"I'm not going to pretend to be happy about this, but you two are responsible people. But I have to ask about what you plan on doing with your futures." I'd known this was coming.
"Well I do plan on marrying Bella after the baby is born. I figured we could get an apartment nearby and we could work it out so we can take some classes in Seattle or somewhere close by." He nodded, approving of my answer.
"You're a good kid Jasper. I trust you. Just don't let my baby girl down."
"I wouldn't even dare to dream of that Charlie. I love Bella with every fiber of my being and would do anything to keep her happy." He finally smiled.
"That's what I like to hear." We walked back to the living room and Bella stood up.
"Next stop: my parents." I said. Bella hugged Charlie, saying she'd be home by ten at the latest. I grabbed her hand and we hopped into my car.
When we got to my house we found my parents eating lunch in the kitchen. I kept Bella's hand in mine and took a deep breath.
"Mom, dad, Bella and I need to talk to you." My parents looked up and smiled, but I could sense their curiosity and slight worry. "Bella is pregnant. We've decided to keep the baby." My parents stared at us for a minute before my mom found her voice.
"Bella dear, do you mind if we speak with Jasper for a minute?"
"Not at all. I'll meet you in the car Jasper. Bye Kendra, bye Bruce." She kissed my cheek and my mom went to hug her. I heard my mother whisper to her.
"It's going to be okay honey. We're here." Bella nodded and thanked her before walking out to the car. I turned to my parents. I knew what was coming, so I spoke before they could ask.
"I know what you're going to ask and I'll tell you exactly what I told Charlie. I plan on marrying Bella after the baby is born. We will get our own place nearby and I'm going to make sure we both get a college education."
"Good," my father said, "I'm proud of you for taking responsibility. And it's obvious you've put a lot of thought into your futures. Just take care of her son. Bella's a special one." I smiled and nodded.
"Of course dad. I've loved Bella for too long to stop now." My mom hugged me and walked out to my car to Bella.
