Chapter 16: Impossible

Nessie's POV

My heart was racing faster than a horse in the Kentucky Derby. I still wasn't sure how I managed it but somehow I'd gotten away from Bella, Alice, and Rosalie. Alice and Rosalie had insisted on going on a shopping spree at the mall. Bella and I shared the same lack of enthusiasm at the very idea of going into a mall. But it was clear that neither of the other two girls would take no for an answer from either of us.

So it was with great reluctance that we both agreed to this trip. It was while I was trying on clothes that something highly unusual happened. Something moved inside of my body. My hands had immediately flown to my belly. My bumb had somehow gotten a little bigger since I first noticed it last night. But it was the movement I felt that made me stop dead in my tracks.

I had felt it before. During my previous two pregnancies. But I couldn't be pregnant. At least not this pregnant to the point where I would have a bump and already be feeling movement. It had only been six days since my encounter with Will in the forest. So there was absolutely no way I could be pregnant yet, let alone this far along. I tried to rationalize with myself. Maybe I was bloated? Maybe I'd just gained a few pounds?

No matter how hard I tried I couldn't shake the suspicion that something was definitely not right here. I had to figure out what it was. So I made an excuse that I had to go use the bathroom. Bella wanted to come with me but I insisted on going alone. The girls didn't seem suspicious. At least not for now. I knew that I would only have a few minutes before they realized that I had ditched them. So as soon as I was out of the store I sprinted out the mall as fast ss I could.

My destination was right across the street. Walmart. As soon as it was safe to do so I ran across the street, the parking lot, and right into the store. The employees noticed me right away. It was not the first time I'd been here. In fact I'd stolen from this store so many times that I was sure I was well known by now.

I went straight toward the section that contained what I was looking for. Pregnancy tests. I grabbed three different ones from different brands. I stuffed them under my shirt since I didn't have any money on me to pay for them. Alice was financing our whole mall shopping spree and I neved had any money. Unless I'd just sold drugs that is.

The employees watched me suspiciously as I headed for the bathroom. Out of the corner of my eye I saw one of the managers on a cell phone. That instantly made me nervous. I took a deep breath and entered the bathroom. I opened each of the boxes and read the instructions. Then I peed on all three sticks.

I shook my head. The results were going to be negative. I just had a hyperactive imagination. There was no way I could be pregnant. Not this pregnant anyway. I grabbed the first time after the necessary waiting time had passed. I gasped in shock when I saw the pink plus sign. The other two were positive as well. I felt a nudge in my lower belly area as if I needed more solid proof that I was pregnant. But how was I this pregnant? How was I so far along that I could feel the baby when I'd only had sex six days ago? It was impossible. I had to talk to Carlisle as soon as I got home.

I took a deep breath and cleaned myself up. I was leaving the store when I spotter several police cars outside.

"There she is!"

The blood drained out of my face when I realized they were here for me. I was surrounded by cops closing in on me. Damn! My rotten luck! Why'd they have to call the police on me?! I hit one of the police officers as hard as I could when he got close enough. The distraction was enough for me to make a run for it.

Police sirens blared behind me. I pushed as hard and fast as I could. I didn't care which direction I went in as long as it took me away from the police. Why were these police officers so intent on catching me? Yeah I'd been stealing for years. So I'd definitely been on police radar. I guess that was why.

My legs were getting tired and so I knew it would not be long before I would not be able to run anymore. It didn't seem like these cops would give up any time soon. So I pushed on and so did the police. Then to my horror I realized that I had taken a wrong turn. I was at a dead end. Police cars surrounded me. I was not going to be able to escape this time.

"Hands up!" A police officer ordered.

I immediately complied because several officers had their guns raised at me. I dropped to my knees so they would know for sure that I was surrendering. Oh please God don't let them shoot me!

One of the police officers approached me and then grabbed my hands and forced them behind my back and into handcuffs.

"Your name is Renesmee, right?"

"Yy-es," I stuttered. Too afraid to speak properly.

"Renesmee you are under arrest for several accounts of robbery, breaking and entering, assaulting an officer, and several accounts of felony possession and distribution of illicit drugs-"

My eyes nearly bugged out of my head. "How did you know-"

"We have our ways,"

He forced me to stand as he recited my rights. Then he pushed me into the back of the patrol car. The sirens blared once again as the car started. The baby kicked once again. I rubbed my belly.

It's okay baby. I thought to myself as I rubbed my bump. I was aware of only three things.

1. I had just been arrested for some serious crimes.

2. I was pregnant with a baby that was developing faster than normal for reasons I did not understand.

3. The Cullens had no idea what was happening to me at the moment.

What the hell was I going to do now?
