I was thinking about ending the story right here…but I decided…nah! I WANT that 1,000 reviews…besides I thought about this chapter after Alice answered one of Bella's questions…So…
WARNING: THIS CHAPTER YOU NEVER SAW COMING!
(Disclaimer is on profile)
Chapter Twenty-One
Saved...and Tiffany
Edward's POV
The police rushed to the opposite side of town, in a run down section. I spotted a few scandalously dressed hoes on corners smoking and a few drug dealers hided as the police rushed down the streets. We, meaning me and the gang, all rode with the police with two ambulances behind us.
"Stay here," the police officer said to us as they stormed the house.
"Relax Edward," Alice said. "We know that she's fine."
I couldn't relax…not until I saw Bella…not until I saw that bastard locked up. I wanted to kill him but I knew that I couldn't. My blood boiled when I saw them carrying out that bastard Jacob Black out of the house, who looked like he was in deep pain, hunched over. I had to smile inwardly at the thought of Bella kicking up in the groin.
"Edward!"
I turned and watched as Bella was lead slowly out of the house. My heart stopped at the sight of her. Her clothes were torn and there were a few cuts on her skin. There was a bruise forming on her chin, probably from when the bastard drugged her to take her out of my apartment. But there was still a slight smile on Bella's face as she came slowly towards me with the help of the police.
"Bella," I whispered and enwrapped her with a hug.
"Sir, we really should take her to the hospital to get checked out," one of the paramedics said, coming towards Bella with a stretcher.
"I'm fine," Bella stated. "Edward, tell them I'm fine."
I looked at the paramedics and then back at Bella.
"At least let them check you out Bella…you and the baby."
I said the right words. As soon as I said 'baby,' Bella's eyes went wide, her hand to her tummy, and she went with the paramedics. I rode with her though, knowing that she was scared of hospitals.
"By the way," I whispered to Bella as we approached the hospital, "I hoped you kicked him really, really hard."
Bella smiled.
"You know it," she said.
- - - - -
They did decide to keep Bella overnight. Of course, she won't stay if I wasn't there. So the hospital allowed me to stay.
"I don't know why I can't go home," Bella said, folding her arms across her chest. "I'm fine. The baby is fine."
"They just want to make sure," I whispered, kissing her softly on the forehead.
"Hmm, I guess," Bella said.
"Mr. Cullen," the nurse said, entering the room, "there is a person who is waiting for you."
I looked at the nurse and then back at Bella.
"It's probably someone from the university, I called them saying we won't be in class tomorrow."
Bella nodded and let go slowly of my name. I followed the nurse out of the section and into…the nursery? I glanced at the nurse who just gave me a straight face and then pointed in front of us.
There standing in front of the windows that looked into the nursery was a woman who seems familiar…then it hit me.
"Tiffany?"
The woman turned and smiles.
"Edward," she said in her normal British accent.
"What are you doing here Tiffany?" I said, folding my arms. "I broke up with you months ago before I moved here to the states."
Tiffany smiled sadly and then turned to look back into the nursery.
"I know Edward but I'm not here for my own needs now."
"What?" I said, looking at her.
"Edward…I…we…we had a baby."
I felt the breath get sucked out of me as I processed her words. I only slept with her once. It was shortly before I left England for the states to come here to the University, about nine…about nine months ago…
"I used a condom Tiff, don't start lying again," I said, feeling my anger.
"Edward, I'm not lying about this," Tiffany said, her eyes wide open.
"You cheated on me with that stupid George—"
"Gregory," she said.
"Whatever," I snapped. "You cheated on me with him. I have every right not to believe you."
"There," she pointed. "There is your baby boy. Tell me that that baby doesn't look like you!"
I turned and looked at where she was pointing. There indeed with a tiny boy. I felt my heart being pulled as I looked at the baby, all wrapped in a blue blanket. The name tag at the end of the basket read "Frances Edward Johnson."
"He has your nose…your ears…I bet he even has your eyes Edward," Tiffany said.
I suddenly came back to the present.
"No, Tiffany, he's not mine," I stated plainly. "I plan to prove he isn't."
"Well I plan to prove that he is."
"Fine," I snapped. "I'll do the DNA test."
I turned and left Tiffany there. Oh God, what if the baby was mine, I thought, stopping just outside of Bella's room, looking into it. Bella was smiling at the ultrasound screen as they tech moved the wand across her tummy. Bella looked up from the screen and meet my eyes. She smiled her beautiful smile. If the baby was mine…how was I going to tell Bella?
Lol, you guys never saw that coming did ya? -laughs evil laugh- Review, review. I only need 182 more reviews and I plan to have at least…3 more chapters…maybe… so if we average 50+ in this 4 chapters including this one… -smiles- I'll get over 1000.
Thanks to all those who HAVE reviewed –glares at those who hasn't-. I love you guys dearly. I still blush when I read how great of a reader I am. I have had numerous people tell me to publish a book. –blushes- Personally, I don't think I'm that great of a writer…lol and I'm probably going to get a ton of reviews saying I am. If I'm that great of a writer that's because you guys are that great of a reviewers. I write for you guys. Thank you, thank you so much.
Huggles,
Nollie
