CH 19
Previously:
After a few minutes I saw Carlisle walk towards. I stood up and pushed Bella towards him.
"Edward, Bella, what's wrong?" he looked at us worry in his eyes.
"It's Bella. She's bleeding."
Carlisle looked confused. He looked down at Bella and saw her distraught face.
"She is bleeding, and she is pregnant." I confirmed.
Carlisle looked up at me with shock.
"WHAT"
"What?"
"Huh?"
But it wasn't him saying this. It was coming from behind us.
EPOV
I felt sick to my stomach. Not only was my Bella and my baby possibly in trouble, but our family was here and knew. We didn't want it to happen like this. They weren't meant to find out like this.
I looked down to Bella, who was still in the wheel chair. Even more fear was in her eyes. I don't even know how that it possible.
Carlisle broke us out of our trance.
"I think it would be best if I check Bella out. And then we will discuss this? Okay?"
I grabbed the handles of Bella's wheelchair and slowly turned to the people behind me, my family. I gave them a grimace of a smile and turned back towards Carlisle, but not before seeing Charlie walk through the front doors.
I pushed Bella along the hall way until we stopped at a room and Carlisle told us to go in while he went to get some equipment. I rolled Bella over to the other side of the desk and sat down next to her. I grabbed both her hands in mine.
"It's going to be okay. I promise you Bella. No matter what, it's going to be okay."
Bella just laid her head on my shoulder. And began to cry again.
"But everyone is here, everyone heard."
"Yes they are here Bella. But they are here because they care. And because of that they will support us. They might not like the idea to start with, but they will come around." I said to her hopefully calming some of her nerves.
Carlisle walked into the room and sat down behind the desk.
"Okay. What is going on."
Bella and I looked at each other and then back to Carlisle.
"I'm about 8 weeks pregnant. And everything was going fine. But then I went to the bathroom and there was blood. And now I'm scared. I can't lose the baby Carlisle, we just can't." Bella started sobbing again and I wrapped my arms around her the best I could given the fact she was in the wheel chair still.
"Okay Bella. I know that you must be absolutely terrified right now, but I need you to calm down. This isn't good for you or the baby." Carlisle said.
At the word baby Bella's started to calm down. Her breathing was now under control.
"Now Bella, what sort of bleeding did you have? Was there a lot of blood, or just a little bit, was it almost like it was flowing out of you? "
"Um, I don't know, I just saw it and freaked out. It probably wouldn't have been as much as it was if I had my period I suppose?"
"Well it sounds like you were just spotting Bella. Which can happen during the first trimester of pregnancy. It's like your body is getting ready to menstruate so all the hormone levels increase, but it doesn't increase enough, because you are pregnant. But I want to do an ultra-sound just to be sure okay?"
I looked at Bella and she just nodded her head in response to my dad.
Carlisle left the room again to go and get a portable ultra-sound machine.
"See, it's fine, it's all going to be okay. Dad just thinks its spotting."
"But what if it isn't Edward? What if I didn't see it right. What if there was more and I've hurt the baby, or worse?"
"Shhh Bella sweetie. Just calm down."
With that Carlisle walked back into the room pushing a cart with the machine on it.
"If I could just get you to lie on the table Bella and lift up your shirt and pull your pants down a little bit."
I helped Bella out of the wheel chair and up onto the table
"Sorry this will be cold" my dad said as he began to swirl the wand over Bella's stomach. It was this point that I prayed to god that everything would be okay, our baby would be there, and would be fine.
He seemed to be taking quite awhile with the ultra-sound. And not saying anything to Bella and I.
I looked down at Bella lying on the table and she was chewing on her bottom lip, her eyes glassy. I was still holding her hand and rubbing little circles on it.
"Okay." Carlisle said and looked up to us both.
Silence.
"What is it dad?" I said in a hoarse voice, layered with worry.
"That" he pointed to the screen and flipped a switch, a steady and strong thumping echoed around the room "Is my grand-baby and its heartbeat. And it seems to be fine and healthy"
I leaned down and kissed Bella. She was smiling ear to ear. A few stray tears running down her cheeks. I looked at her worriedly
"Happy tears" she said. "So it's okay? I haven't done anything to it?"
"Bella, you're doing everything fine. These things happen some times. It happens in about 25% of pregnancies so it's okay. But no excess stress okay?"
Bella nodded "but have you seen what is facing us in the waiting room?"
"Ah about that. I think you should get cleaned up and then I think we need to have a little chat okay? The three of us?"
Carlisle left to return the ultra-sound machine, while I helped Bella to get cleaned up. I stole quick kisses from her, and whispered sweet nothings to her. We sat back down in the chairs, my arm wrapped around Bella's shoulders, as we waited for Carlisle to return.
Carlisle walked back in and plonked himself back in his chair.
"So a baby, wow. This is big!"
I looked at dad shocked. He was okay with this? Was he really acting like this? So carefree?
"I mean, I thought we taught you guys to be safe?"
"We always were dad. But there was just this one time"
"It's always that one time."He chuckled "And now everything has changed."
"Dad you acting rather calm about it all, are you sure that you are okay?"
"Oh I wouldn't say I'm exactly calm Edward. I mean I am slightly disappointed, you two are only children, and now you're about to raise one. But there is nothing I can do about changing it now. What's done is done, and we just have to play with the cards we are dealt."
He looked up to us with a smile.
"So what are your plans for all of this? No matter what you choose you will have our full support."
"We are keeping the baby." Bella spoke up. "I wasn't sure about it to start with, I didn't want this to ruin Edwards life. But then we decided we were going to do this. I've only really wanted it 100% for the last week or so. I've been so scared otherwise. Which was why I thought I did something wrong." By this point Bella had her hand placed protectively over her stomach.
"I know that you must be absolutely terrified Bella. But you must believe me when I say that we will support you through this. We will help you where we can. But in saying that, it's not all going to be handed to you on a silver platter."
Bella and I nodded our heads in agreement. "We understand that, and thanks dad." I said to him.
"So it starts here. You need to tell everyone else what is going on. I'm fairly sure that they all heard you when I first arrived so I think you just need to bring them up to speed."
We got up and went to walk out the door.
"I moved them all into the conference room." he said with a hopeful smile "Three doors down to the left" he added and we shut the door behind us.
We walked up to the door hand in hand.
" Are you ready for this?" I asked her as I bought her hand up to kiss it
"As ready as I'll ever be I suppose."
"Okay. Let's do this" I said as I gave her one chaste kiss.
I placed my hand on the then and pushed in down.
I looked to Bella one last time... "Breathe."
