Chapter Thirty-six

Once I got to my parents' house, my heart started pounding. I was nervous and starting to regret not bringing Edward with me, though I knew realistically that it was better to do this without him. I just hoped that it didn't end up badly.

After I greeted my parents and answered their questions about how things were going in New York, I finally mustered up the courage to tell them truth.

"Mom, dad, there's something that I need to tell you and I really hope that you will be supportive of me."

My dad just stared at me and my mom immediately brought her hands to her mouth. I saw tears in her eyes as she said "Oh Charlie, our baby is pregnant. I knew we shouldn't have let her go off to New York alone!"

My mom had always been a drama queen, but I didn't think she would actually believe this of me. I wasn't that stupid. Of course, maybe it was good that this was her first thought. When she found out that I wasn't pregnant then maybe the news of who I was dating wouldn't seem so bad.

"Mom, I promise you that I'm not pregnant. I swear it is nothing that bad."

I saw the relief in her face as she finally breathed, realizing that she wasn't about to be made a grandmother. My father, however, still hadn't said anything. He had always been much calmer and much quieter than my mother, balancing her out perfectly. But as he looked at me waiting for me to tell him my news, I felt like he knew what I was going to say. It was slightly unnerving.

"I have a boyfriend. It's really serious."

My mom grinned then, clapping her hands. "Oh that's wonderful, sweetie! I hated it when you and Jake broke up, but I'm so glad that you found someone! What's he like? Is he cute? Is he successful?"

I laughed slightly at my mom because it was just like her to ask those questions, but the laughter died when I glanced at my dad. He did not look happy. Before I could say anything else, he finally spoke up for the first time since I started talking.

"Isabella, please tell me it isn't who I think you are going to say. I know that you know better than this."

He knew. I didn't know how he knew, but he did. And there was no way for me to lie to him. That was the entire purpose of this conversation, for me to tell my parents the truth.

"I'm sorry, daddy," I said, barely above a whisper. I knew that there was a possibility that they would be disappointed, but actually seeing the disappointment on my father's face almost killed me.

"How could you do this, Bella? Do you have any idea what this is going to do to this family? Do you care that little for your sister?" He asked me. He was still sitting in his seat, as calm as he had been when he first sat down. It wasn't a good sign.

"What are you talking about, Charlie?" My mom asked, still confused.

I had to get over with. "It's Edward. I'm seeing Edward. We started dating about a week after we both returned to New York from the Thanksgiving holiday."

My mom stared at me, at a loss for words which was probably a first for her. My dad stood up without saying another word and walked out of the house. I heard his car door slam and then the sound of him backing out of the driveway. Never in my life had my dad not been able to talk to me. It was worse than I had thought.

A/N – I promise to update soon! There is going to be a little drama because how could there not be with this new revelation, but I promise not to prolong it! And, of course, there will be an HEA :)
