"OK will do" Alice said.
"No wait." Emmett walked up to Alice and stopped her from calling Edward.
I raised my eyebrow up at him. He walked over to me and did something to his phone. Then put it in my hand.
"There is someone you need to talk to first" He said quietly.
Once Emmett put his phone in my hand I watched him take Rose by the arm and walk her to the glass door.
She pulled her arm away. "Let go of me. Where are we going?" She was protesting. We all knew she hated not being in the loop. She wanted to stay and find out what was going on.
He stopped her from walking back over to us and looked her in the eyes. "Rose, I need to talk to you."
Rose rolled her eyes and turned away. "It can wait."
"No Now!" In all the years that he had been with Rose he had never raised his voice to her. I think we all jumped a bit, we were all in shock.
"Fine fine. She came fill me in."
Emmett opened the door to the back deck and followed her out. I went to the glass door to watch them. They walked down to the beach before stopping.
I was not able to hear what they were saying but the body language was enough. He was telling her something she did not want to hear.
His head dropped when he started to talk.
Rose had her arms crossed and then she started yelling.
What are they talking about? It was none of my business but I couldn't bring myself to walk away from fight in front of me.
Emmett started yelling and pointing up towards the house.
Then she was pointing at the house and then her hand came up and across his face before he could yell back.
I had gripped the door handle ready to run out there when I had stopped. He did not do anything back. He just looked at her and stuck his hands into his pockets. Whatever he had said to her caused the deserved slap.
Rose turned away from him and took off walking down the beach. He just stood there and watched her walk off. Shaking his head he turned and went off the opposite direction down the beach.
I turned to see that I was the only one left in the kitchen. I guess everyone decided they needed to be alone.
Then I remembered the phone in my hand. Emmett's phone. I clicked a button and the screen came on. The number that Em said I needed to call was still on there. Vic. Why did I need to call Vic? What does Vic have to do with this?
I hit send and held the phone up to my ear. It must have rung about five times before someone picked up.
I never got a chance to speak before the voice on the phone started rambling.
"Thank God Emmett! I have been trying to reach Edward but he is not answering his phone. Did he go through with it? Did he get married? Please tell me I have to know?" The girl on the other end had been crying you could hear it in her voice.
I took a deep breath and willed myself not to scream.
"Emmett are you still there?" She asked.
I closed my eyes. "This is Bella."
Silence then you could hear her breathing pick up. "Oh my God. Sorry. I thought I was talking to Emmett. I shouldn't be talking to you-"
"Don't you hang up on me. Emmett must have thought we needed to talk or he wouldn't have handed me his phone. So who am I speaking with?" I said with the same calm voice.
"Victoria"
"Victoria? His lab partner? What do you care if he got marri-" I gasped. It hit me.
Victoria the great lab partner of three years. Victoria the really good friend that he would study with. Victoria, that was like a little sister to him next to Alice.
"Well Vic looks like we have something in common." I smiled. "So how long have you known Edward?"
"Since our freshman year." She had dried her tears. Her voice sounded a little calmer.
"How long have you been sleeping together?"
"Since the night we met." She answered.
Three years ago? Funny I thought I was his first a year ago. "Has it ended?"
"No." Man the answers just kept on coming.
"Was it going to continue when we got married?" It was suddenly getting hot in this room.
"Yes. We had not talked about us ending anytime soon." Damn. She was getting cocky. Bitch.
"Any reason why Emmett would want me to talk to you?" tears were forming.
I heard someone walking into the kitchen. Jacob whispered my name asking who I was talking to.
As I was turning around to look at him. What she said was the last thing I heard before all went black.
"Because he knew."
~*~*~*~*~*~*
My head hurt. Where am I? I opened my eyes to see that I am laying in a hospital bed with an IV in my hand and a massive headache. Why am I here?
I looked around Jacob was on one side of my bed then Alice and Jasper were standing behind him. Rose was at the door and Emmett was on the other side of my bed.
"Why am I here?" I rubbed my forehead.
"Well you were on the phone and when you turned you blacked out and fell. Before I could get to you, you had hit the ceramic tile. It was a nasty hit. When I couldn't get you to come to I called the ambulance while Jasper and Alice went after Rose and Emmett." Jacob was squeezing my hand while moving my hair from my face.
Phone? What was I doing right before I heard Jacob whisper my name?
Everything started coming back in waves.
Emmett. Phone. Victoria. Edward.
"Get out" came out as a harsh raspy sound.
They all looked at me and then they all started talking.
"I said get out. I need to talk to my brother."
I looked up at Rose to see that she had been crying.
"I will be outside if you need me." Jacob leaned down and kissed my forehead.
I smiled but lost it when I looked at Emmett.
Once the door was closed and we were alone he started to say sorry.
I held up my hand. "What hold did he have on you? Why did you keep Edward's affair a secret from your own sister? The one he was supposed to marry."
He dropped his head. "Maria."
"Everybody knew you had a crush on Maria. What's so bad about that?" I was trying to wrap my mind around everything that was going on. Damn headache.
"Sleeping with her." He looked like he hadn't slept in a week.
I laughed. "Fuck Emmett that was a long time ago and Rose got past that."
When he didn't answer back to that comment the next thing just fell out of my mouth.
"You were still sleeping with her."
He just nodded. "When we got to college. I kept in contact with Maria and one weekend I invited her over to something that was going on at the school. I didn't think anything was going to happen. We were past all that. Well we hung out and it was great. She started coming back to visit more and one night one thing led to another. Next thing we knew we were sleeping together. Every chance we got. Edward found out and he brought Victoria home to our apartment. I kept my mouth shut until the girls left and we had a long talk. We had come to an agreement that we would end it and I would keep his secret if he kept mine. As long as we stopped. Well I did and that was two years ago."
I had my head down looking at my hands. A tear fell and hit my finger. "He didn't stop. How did you not know?"
"He never brought her over after that."
"Then why do you have her number in your phone?" I looked up at him with tears steadily coming down.
"They were lab partners. They stayed lab partners. We stayed friends but I swear I thought they broke it off." He was holding my hand.
"Then if you thought it was over why have me call her?"
"Because if your dirty laundry was going to be aired then you needed to know mine and his so you wouldn't be blindsided. Besides I had to be the one to tell Rose. I was not about to let him be the one to out me. He's my best friend and I know we will get past all this but you are my sister and I love you." He smiled.
So that explains the shit that happened with him and Rose today. Then fresh tears fell again. "He was going to continue seeing her while we lived there for another year till he finished school."
Before we could finish this conversation the doctor walked in to talk to me and see if I could be released. Emmett stood up to walk out so I could be evaluated. I told him he could stay he was still family after all.
"Well Ms. Swan how are you doing?" Dr Denton asked.
I closed my eyes and thought about it. "My head still hurts. But I seem to be ok. Can I go home?"
"When the gentle outside told me this was not the first time you had blacked out I was a little concerned so we ran some test."
Oh no I have some kind of illness. "How bad is it?" I must have looked like a deer caught in the headlights.
He laughed. "Not bad at all you just need to take it easy for a while. Someone in your condition needs to steer clear of these nasty falls."
I looked at him and Emmett squeezed a little harder on my hand. "Condition? What condition?"
"Well by our test you are really not that very far along so I would get plenty of rest and keep your feet up." He continued.
"I'm sorry Dr. Denton I'm not following you. What test? What condition?" I was really getting scared. Emmett just sat there not saying a word. But I could tell he was shaking.
Just as the doctor answered me Jacob walked into the room. My eyes never left Jacob's as the doctor said those four tiny words.
"Ms. Swan you're pregnant."
OK OK I know this is a major cliffy but come on you love me.
