Epov
Bella and Alice came back about ten minutes ago…she's sitting across the room from me and I can't help but to wonder whats going through her mind. I can't help but to wonder…because what if she no longer loves me? What if she decides to be gone forever?
I look over and see her staring at me.
Alice and Jasper are outside talking.
"Bella…" I whisper and she shakes her head.
"What Edward?" She asks.
"I'm sorry… I was drunk and it was like two months ago. She wants to talk to us about something now." I say and she smiles, but it doesn't reach her eyes.
"Okay… I understand. I just needed time away. I mean… yeah I'm mad and all and it's just making it harder to trust you…but isn't it all about love in the end? Through all the bad and all the good." She says and I nod my head.
"Yeah, but still…. I wish things weren't going this way. It sems like the whole universe is piling up to stop me from getting you back." I say and she nods.
"I guess that's what love is. Working through the universe." She said and then smiled sweetly. I nodded and then I walked over to her and hugged her.
She hugged me back and then we sat together whilew e waited on Taylor. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door and I stood to get it.
I walked to the door and opened it to find Taylor there. She smiled at me and then I looked over her.
She didn't seem to have changed much. The long blonde hair, and the bright green enerjectic eyes, and the slim figure. She hasn't changed at all.
"Come in," I say, holding the door open.
She comes in and glances around. Sh notices Bella.
"So, you're Bella? I can see why Edwrad was never satisfied with any other girl besides you, Bella." She says, sweetly and Bella blushes.
"Yes, I'm Bella. I take it you are Taylor?"She asked and Taylor nods her head.
"Take a seat," I say, holding out a chair for Taylor.
She quickly obliges.
"Thank you, Edward." She says before turning back to Bella.
"I'm sure you resent me, but you must know that neither of us expected this to happen. WE got drunk at a frat party anad I know that is no excuse…. I feel bad just being here.But I thought Edward had a right to know he's going to be a father. " She says and Bella nods.
"I feel no resentment. I am just a bit sad, but who wouldn't be? Well, I'm not sad, more…I can't explain the emotion running through my head. Not sadness, not resentment but something different. And I think Edward had a right to know too. I mean who wouldn't want to know? He's going to be a father and you are going to be a mother." Bella says and I watch this exchange quietly. I notice the change in Taylor's face as the word mother appears.
"That's what I want to talk to you two aabout. I can't handle a child. I just can't and I am strongly opposed to abortion. Which I know Edward is too. (Sorry I will never have ANYONE have an abortion in my stories, I am as opposed to them as I am to someone killing their two year old. ITS MURDER.) So, I come here to offer a negotioation." She says, and I notice how sad her face is and how confused Bella's is.
"My negotitiation is to have the baby, and then let you and Edward raise it. You can name it, you can change it's diapers, and you can be a mother Bella. It doesn't have to be me. I don't have to ruin something as great as what you and Edward have and I don't have to do something that I feel is impossible.
I can't raise a baby. I just can't and I know Edward is capapble of it and I know that you are too. Just seeing the way you're acting. So mature and clam… I know that this baby is meant for you and Edward!" She says and I see the tears.
"Are you sure?" Bella whispers and Taylor nods.
"More sure than I'vve ever been about anything." She says and Bella nods.
"Then we have to make arrangements. I want you to live with us until the baby is born, and I want you to visit it and I want it to be knowledgable to your existence and what you are giving up to let this baby be happy. I want them to know that you care, because I can see it in your eyes. Things will be hard, but do you agree to these things?" Bella asks and I notice how she takes control in the mdst of panic. How when I'm scared she's so clam and collected.
I'm glad that she knows somehow that I want the same thing. I am opposed to abortion, as is Taylor and Bella. And I'm glad that she doesn't say let me and Edward discuss it. She just knows.
I almost forgot that Taylor was supposed to answer, but when I remembered… I watched her slowly nod her head.
"We come to an agreement." She mutters and Bella nods.
"Now, let's get down to business. We have a lot of things to consider and to plan." She says and I slowly join in while we plan the next nine months with Taylor, and while Bella and I start to think forward.
In that moment I make a decision that I thought was sealed off—for a while at least.
I'm going to propose to her.
It's going to be unique, and it's going to be totally Bella and Edward. No one else.
I'm going to propose to her before the baby comes.
A/N: I NO I NO short chapter but I felt the need to end it there.
By the way, I am sorry I didn't update over the weekend like I said I would…but I had a lot going on that I didn't know would be going on.
I am terribly sorry and I hope you can forgive me. I wouldn't even be able to update now if I hadn't have gotten sick. Yes, I am sick. No I do not know what I have or if it's anything other than me feeling bad.
I will try to update as soon as possible.
