With that the three of us went back into the house.
"Hey dad can I talk to a minute."
"Sure kiddo, what is that you need to talk to me about."
"I think you need to sit down for this one."
Oh God, don't tell me, she is going to say that she is pregnant. I am going to yell at Edward and my daughter for being so irresponsible and ruining her future. If she is in fact pregnant she lied to me about being a virgin. I wonder how far along she is. If it isn't about her being pregnant I wonder what it is she needs so urgently to speak to me and in front of my best friend and his son? ~Charlie
Oh boy he already suspects that I am pregnant. As soon as I said I needed him to sit down and discuss things his mind went in that direction. He also is upset that if I am pregnant that I lied to him. This should be interesting. ~ I projected to both Billy and Jacob who in turn silently shook their heads.
"Dad before I say it I am sorry I lied to you before about being a virgin. Oh god this is so hard to say this especially since I am afraid of you final reaction to what I am about to say to you. Ok here it goes. I am at least 4 months pregnant with triplets and my due date is set for August 20th. I only just started to exhibit any signs of pregnancy that were noticeable about a month ago, which is why I didn't say anything until now. I now understand why I was eating so much I was supporting not only myself but three other beings, why I have been so irritable, why I have been so tired, or why I have been throwing up a lot this past month. I am no longer feeling sick to my stomach and I have better control of my moods as of late however. I am still eating a lot though. I didn't eat a lot tonight because I ate a lot throughout the day."
I felt my dad's emotions fluctuate from murderous, rage, disappointment, to acceptance, love, and worry in quick succession. I never manipulated his emotions. I would have if he stayed at murderous or rage because I was afraid that he might have gotten a heart attack. His reactions somewhat surprised me. I understand murderous, rage and disappointment but not acceptance, love and worry. When my dad was exhibiting these emotions I saw that my dad's face color changed from deep purple, deep red, deep pink, to normal, and then he took a deep breath.
Just to let you know I never manipulated my dad's emotions. ~I projected to Jacob and Billy.
"Ok kiddo. I am not going to say that I am completely happy that you are pregnant, but I will tell you this I love you and nothing you do will ever change that and that I will be there for you the best way that I can. I just worry that you threw your life away now that you have to take care of three other lives when you are not yet an adult and are still in high school. I would never suggest you get an abortion even when it was possible, and I would never want you to put these kids up for adoption either.
I have to admit that when I suspected this I was angry that both Edward and you were extremely irresponsible but then I got to thinking that I made a similar mistake when I was younger myself and I don't regret it even for a second. Your mother got pregnant with you during her senior year and we got married just after graduation. I am disappointed because I didn't want history to repeat itself even though you are not technically a senior yet. I just hope that you don't make the same mistakes your mother made and that Edward will be there during and after the pregnancy for many years to come like I would have been for your mother." Said Charlie
"This pregnancy was not at all planned but it happened. In fact Edward didn't know that it was possible. You see even though his family isn't related by blood they have a similar condition that makes their family, especially the females infertile. It was believed that the males were also infertile because they never gotten anyone pregnant. It was quite a surprise when Dr. Cullen learned that maybe the males were not infertile, just the females were, not that he was planning to test the theory again anytime soon or ever. Edward was a virgin and so was I and apparently I conceived the very first time I made love."
Good one Bells, what a way to explain vampirism without actually saying it aloud, funny staying that the Cullens have a similar condition rendering them infertile. I guess that is one way you will have to explain to the townsfolk when you become one of them. I suggest you say that somehow you condition was dormant until you gave birth or something along the same lines. ~Jacob thought
"That's too bad that none of the females can have children. Do you have a plan on how you will be able to support this children, are you even going to finish you senior year and go to college. What does Edward say about you being pregnant? How did Edward's family take the news? If I had room in this house I would suggest you stay with me but obviously a two bedroom house is not conducive to raising triplets. What are your plans?" Said Charlie
"Well at first Edward went into a state of shock and wouldn't snap out of it until I took him to his father, who was the one who did the check-up. He was quite surprised that, that was even possible and there was some doubt as to whether or not the children were Edwards or not. When it was confirmed that it was Edwards, there was no doubt in any of the families' eyes. The whole family suggests that I move in with them. They have plenty of room, and if Edward and I want privacy they have an old run down cottage on their property that they don't mind renovating for us.
Before you go through the lecture of both Edward and I being supported by the Cullens, we are not. Edward has an extensive trust fund that he never needed to tap into that he got from when his real parents died. I plan on finishing up my senior year at Forks High School just as originally planned. Esme stays home most of the time as a house mom and already agreed to baby-sit the triplets while Edward and I are at school. Also Jasper, Rose and Emmett who are graduating this year have also volunteered to help out, since they wanted to wait until Edward, Alice and I graduate before attending college. Edward and I will most likely get married. He hasn't asked me yet but I know him and I know his family would make him take that next step. When I do get married it won't be until after I give birth. I might take online courses for a while and stay close to you so you can see the grand children. Then once I graduate college I plan on getting a degree so that I can get a job and help support the family. "
Did you really have all this planned or did you just make this up so that your dad would relax. We all know that besides Dr. Cullen none of the rest of the Cullens have ever worked at least since I have heard of them. Also how can you be close to your father once you have changed completely, he will get suspicions along with the rest of the townsfolk. You are going to have to fake your death and your father is going to be heartbroken. ~Billy
Billy I did plan all this out once I found out that I was pregnant. As for faking my death I won't have to do that. I will just eventually move away. I am not taking my kids away from their grandfather. As for the townsfolk I am going to tell them that I have a condition that manifested once I gave birth and it changed me, either that or that I had a complication during pregnancy and it changed me. Either one will work I have seen it. The townsfolk will believe it. They won't question it. I think it's because I am slowly changing. My eyes are slowly changing color, so it won't be a drastic change. My eyes only drastically change when I am in a vision, which I will explain that it's a part of my condition or whatnot. ~ I thought quickly to Billy
Yeah right Bells, be realistic here you may be able to go to college, but for the most part you won't look a day older than 17. You may be able to pass for a 21 year old since Edward can, but not all the time. You probably will end up repeating high school for the rest of eternity. ~Jacob
Like Edward he has gone to medical school twice. I probably will have to continually go to school but you never know. I can always fake my age with papers like the Cullens do and get a job if I so choose too. I just know that my dad worries about those things. You know that you will have to keep phasing and be around for eternity because my daughter will be immortal even though she is half human, half vampire and can still reproduce. She matures 3 years per every human year until she reaches the age of 18, when she no longer ages but remains a dhampire. So when she is 6 years old she will be age 18. Basically in 6 years she will be older than her parents by 1 year to the public. I have seen this with my visions. So we will have to home-school her until she stops maturing. ~I thought quickly to Jacob
She really does seem prepared. Ok I am less worried as long as I get to still be in my child's life and my Grandchildren's life. ~Charlie
"So you are going to make me a grandpa before you are an adult. I guess I have to get use to it. I will be there for you the best way I know how. So anyway when are you planning to move out? You know you don't have to move out until the children are born. You can wait until August 20th, or later but if you feel like it is best to be closer to Edward and Dr. Cullen then I give you my blessing; however, only if you meet my few conditions." Said Charlie
"I think its best that I move out in a month since Dr. Cullen feels that this is necessary. Sorry about making you a grandpa before you being ready. It was really unplanned but now that it has happened I plan to make everything work well. What are your conditions?"
"1) You have dinner with me at least twice a week either at the Cullens or my house, 2) you are the one that will have to tell you mom that you are pregnant and possibly getting married, 3) If you move away from Forks with either just Edward or the whole family you will always allow me to be able to keep in touch with you at all times, 4) if you get married I would like you to get married after you have graduated from high school, even if you are having the children while still in high school. 5) When and if you get married I want to be able to walk you down the aisle. Do I make myself clear?" Said Charlie
"Those conditions are reasonable. I may be engaged before school is finished but I will talk to Edward and his family to ensure that we won't get married until after graduation. I will try to have dinner with you more than twice per week, such as two nights at the Cullens and then one night at your house. I will also cook for you and bring you food every night that we are not having dinner together so you won't have to eat everyday at the diner. When I do get married I wouldn't have it any other way, I want you to walk me down the aisle.
Little scared to tell my mother, not sure how she would react. Having one child was hard enough for her especially since I ended up parenting myself and her most of the time. If I was older she would probably understand more. Most likely she will want me to drop everything and move in with her instead of me moving in with the Cullens. That is not going to happen. I will visit her eventually but I won't move in with her. I think I might tell her in a couple of years if that is ok with you. I have my reasons. I want to get through high school without the stress of her trying to force me to move back with her"
I don't quite understand her reasoning but I won't pressure her in telling her mother if she doesn't feel comfortable doing that just yet. I do understand that her mother would probably try and convince her to move back to Florida, and that is something that I am not willing to agree with. I just got her back and I am not willing to accept the possibility that she would move back to live with her mother. ~Charlie thought
Not really happy with the fact that my best friend will be going into a house with bloodsuckers, but I won't deny him access to his daughter if that is what he desires. Her mother was always very flighty. Charlie would be devastated if Rene' forced Bella to move back home with her if she found out that she was pregnant. I am glad that Bella chose not to tell her quite yet. Besides if my son and Seth are in fact going to imprint on two of her children it would be physically and mentally debilitating if she were to move too far from them. It would be really difficult to explain to her mother who isn't in the loop why Jacob and Seth have to be around all the time and why they moved to Florida. It is just easier for them to be around if they are in the same town and already known to be friends. ~Billy
Thanks Billy for your understanding even if you are still leery about me and my vampire nature. I really was thinking about dad when I chose not to tell my mother right away. ~I thought to Billy
If I will be imprinting on your child Bella I it would be too emotionally and physically hard to be apart from her life for too long. It is speculated that both the wolf and the imprint would be physically in pain if separated and not able to be near each other. And wolf and imprint can be separated for a short period of time, especially if they don't live together but if it is more than a month of separation the pain starts to increase. In fact one or the other could die of heart break even if it isn't romantic if separated to long. ~Jacob
Then it is settled I won't tell my mother until she can't legally force me to move back with her. I will be married and living with the Cullens. That way when you imprint your will be able to be near your imprint. ~I thought to Jacob
"Ok I will give you time to tell your mother. But you will have to keep in contact with her even if you don't tell her the specific details. I suppose when you get married I won't force you to tell your mother just yet either, but eventually you will have to because she will want you to visit her sometime. Also you don't have to cook for me every night I managed just fine before you came to live with me." Said Charlie
"Thank you for understanding my reasons even if I didn't state them to you. As for cooking for you every night I don't mind doing that for you. I have to eat myself so when I cook while living at the Cullens I will also drop off a dish for you, so you can eat. When you have to work late at the station I will drive to the station and give you a dish so you can eat dinner and not have to eat fast food or order food at the diner. It will be healthier for you." I said
I didn't want to tell him that I am getting flickers of my dad becoming a vampire. I can't see why though. Besides if I mention this to anyone it could possibly start a war with the wolves regardless of the fact that two of them are going to imprint on two of my children in the future.
"Ok Charlie I think it is time for both me and Jacob to return home. It has been a long day and I am kind of tired. Thanks Bella for dinner it was delicious and sorry about my behavior towards you earlier. Also Bella make sure you keep us posted about what we discussed earlier outside in private." Said Billy
"Ok Billy, see you soon. I have to work at the station early tomorrow so I should probably hit the sack myself. Good to see you Jacob." Said Charlie
"Good to see you too Charlie, talk to you later and Bells I will talk you and Edward later. Just let know the reason" Said Jacob
"You're welcome about dinner, anytime and I will make dinner for you both too. Ok. I will keep you posted Billy and Jacob I will let Edward know the reason why you want to talk to him later. " I said
With that both Jacob and Billy went to their car and drove off to their house.
"Hey Kiddo, I am going to head off to bed I am actually really tired. Even though I am now ok with the whole pregnancy it is still a lot to get use to. I think it made me tired with everything I need to process. I probably will need to talk to Dr Cullen and Esme regarding you moving in with them next month to make sure that it is actually ok and that they are ok with everything. I will do that sometime this weekend since they are not home at the moment and won't be back until Monday."
"Good Night dad, see you tomorrow night."
With that both of us went to our own rooms and went to bed. I too was also very tired and I missed Edward. Can't wait until Monday when I see him.
