Bella's POV:
It is only after Rosalie pulls me into a tight hug and slowly leads me to the couch that I realize I'm still trembling violently in her arms.
"Bee? Bella, what's wrong?" She asks after I've calmed down.
"I-I…" I begin before I try to say it before I start sobbing again.
Why couldn't I say it? Perhaps it was the shock, or maybe it was the disbelief I was feeling.
I mean, after what Gavin had done to me, I was told that the swelling would take time to go down but even when it went down the amount of scarred tissue would make it hard for me to ever carry a baby to full term.
So, how was it I was able to get in this state if the probability of my conceiving was less than twenty percentile?
I- I just couldn't believe it.
How is it even possible? Did Masen have some sort of magic, powerful spunk, or something? Or was it some sort of miracle?
"Are you going to be able to calm down long enough for me to get you a cup of water?" She asked me, concerned, as she sat back to look at me in the eye.
I nod my head up and down once, in response, sniffling as I hear her move off of the couch and head towards the kitchen.
Moments later, I hear both of them begin to whisper to each other about calling my father and brother. Which sent my anxiety higher than it already was.
"Rose! Heidi!" I called, gasping sporadically from my spot on the couch, with my head placed between my knees.
I hear a gasp before I feel someone reach my side and place their hand on my back. "Call Charlie, and go get Edward. Now!" I hear, before the ringing that had started in my ear began to grow, and my vision began to cloud.
I think the next thing that happened to me is that I passed out because the next thing I knew I woke up in a hospital with Rose, Em, and Edward staring down at me.
"Well, hello," I mutter, reach up to rub my face, in hopes to get rid of the grogginess.
"Bee, how are you feeling, baby sis?" Em asks, rushing over to my side.
I blinked twice, before swallowing and licking my lips. "Confused, tired, sleepy... Why am I here?" I asked, sighing tiredly.
"You had a really bad anxiety attack and passed out right after… I had Heidi call Edward, and he drove you here, with Heidi and I following behind you." Rose said.
"I see…" I whispered, lifting my hand slowly to rub my head. "Is there a particular reason as to why I am still here?" I asked, quietly.
I watched as they all nervously looked at one another, and a silent conversation happened between them.
"Well?" I asked them impatiently.
"Well, what?" Emmett asked, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Aren't you going to tell me what's going on?" I asked, sitting up to look at him better.
"Well, you see…" Rose began before Emmett interrupted her. "Bella, who's the father?" He finally asked, concerned.
"The—the father?" I asked, surprised.
I could feel as my breathing became labored as I stared back at them, memories of earlier, clashing back the front of my mind.
I was pregnant. Oh Lord, and savior, Jesus Christ! I was actually pregnant?! Carrying a baby….
"Bella, you're going to need to calm down…" I hear Rose say.
I can feel as someone sits down next to me before I am pulled into a pair of arms.
"Ed, what the hell are you doing?" Em asked,"Get away from her!"
"Emmett, just shut up. I know what I am doing. Bella, listen to me. Breathe. Come on, breathe with me. Come on, in and out... slowly. Focus on me. That's it...in and out..."
I follow along, breathing deeply each time as inhaled and exhaled. The panic slowly left me, as I felt my breathing slowly begin to normalize.
When the door suddenly opens and rushing in comes Heidi, my dad, along with a woman sporting a white lab coat.
"Miss Swan…" I heard the doctor say, as she slowly approached the foot of the bed.
I looked at her, silently acknowledging her presence.
"Can all of you please leave the room? I would like to speak to Miss Swan alone."
"Now wait a minute there, Isabella is my daughter. I should be allowed to know!"
I knew he was going to do this, he always does this. My goodness, how embarrassing! On top of it all, my dad is being overbearing again. Jeez, I can't catch a break!
No, it was glaringly obvious that I wasn't going to get any type of slack or break today. At least not from my father.
"Sir, your daughter is a consenting adult. Therefore, she decides whether or not she wishes for you of all to be present. Now, I won't ask again! You all need to clear out of the room." The doctor said sternly.
Heidi rolled her eyes in response, before wrapping her arm around one of my dad's thick arms and pulling him out of the room while patting his face in a condescending manner.
"I'll be right outside…" Masen said, before leaning down and kissing my forehead before he left.
When they all walked out of the room the doctor looked at me for a moment before sitting down on the chair that was placed next to the bed.
"Miss. Swan…." She began.
"Bella, please…. Call me, Bella." I whispered.
She stared at me for a moment before sighing and nodding in response. "Bella… when you were brought in, you were unconscious. We had to practice a few tests on you to see what was wrong." She began.
I nodded, closing my eyes for a moment, before taking a deep breath to calm myself. From experience, I knew the first that would be checked is the vitals. Then the glucose or for any signs of trauma to any part of the body…. Any signs of irregularity within the breathing pattern, discoloration in the skin, nails, or around the lips… Hypertension…
"We found that your HCG levels are extremely elevated, and your breath was really erratic…" she explained.
I nodded, swallowing thickly before taking another breath. "Go on..." I rasped, staring at the doctor, waiting for her to continue.
"You are pregnant, and seem to be suffering from hypertension…" she said looking down at the chart, while I stared blankly at the far wall of the room, feeling shocked as hell, even now.
"Do you have an ob-gyn already?" She asked, looking up at me.
To which, I nod wordless thinking of Dr. Uley. As Dr. Grady stared at me, growing apprehensive at my silence.
"Erm, yes, I do. I'll call the office as soon as possible, to get an appointment." I replied, biting my lip, and twiddling my fingers.
"Do you need a moment to yourself?" She asked, apprehensively.
I stared at the thin blanket on my lap, trying to wrap my head around the news. "I-I think I do need a moment to myself," I mutter as it finally sinks in.
Oh my God! I'm actually pregnant! What do I do? How is everyone going to react?
Oh my God! Rose! I need Rose!
Rose's POV:
If the tension in this room was butter you would be able to cut through it with a butter knife.
My poor Emmett is pacing the length of the room while Charles stands guarding the door. Meanwhile, Edward is sitting next to me, pulling his hair at the roots, having been escorted over here by one of the nurses, Gina, I think her name was.
When I went to visit Bella earlier I hadn't expected to answer the door with watery eyes, and then for her to collapse into my arms and proceed to have a full-blown anxiety attack.
Even now, as we all sat here waiting anxiously waiting for any news, I couldn't help worry for B, especially after what that son of a bitch, Gavin did to her.
How does stalking, kidnapping, and beating the ever-living shit out of someone get justified as insanity? No, this motherfucker delayed the trial but now that more evidence has been gathered, we all hope he gets what's coming to him. I'll even help if there is a beat down.
Beating someone mercilessly, while they are tied to a chair, and blindfolded is not a form of insanity. It's ruthlessness and cold-hearted and sentient shit!
I hated that man for hurting my little sister, and I will do my damnedest to bring justice down on him, even if I had to do so from afar.
But for now, moving onto other important topics that have to do with my little sister.
I still feel shocked as I remembered searching through Bella's house for a few things she might need if she stayed at the hospital.
I practically fell on my ass as I reached the bottom of the sink in search of a tampon for myself when a white, pink, and blue box fell out from under the cabinet.
I knew that the positive test must be freshly used since these tended to turn off after a while. Meaning Bella must have just found out recently.
I gasped as I saw Heidi standing near the door staring at the plastic stick in my fingers, like a moron.
I knew that Heidi was about to keel over as her eyes landed on the plastic in my hands, and judging by the bug-eyed look on her face I wasn't that far off.
"Oh my God, Rosalie, does Emmett know?" She squawked, shocked.
"It's not mine, you dumb twat! It's Bella's! This must be the reason why she had the attack in the first place! She's fucking pregnant! Oh, my fucking goodness!" I gasped, shoving it back into the box before shoving the box back under the cabinet, and quickly pulled out a tampon before kicking Heidi out of the bathroom.
I quickly changed my tampon, before straightening myself out and exited the bathroom, before proceeding into the master bedroom to finish packing Bella an extra change of clothes and shoes.
Sweet Mary and Joseph! Her kid's baby daddy must be the hunk across the hall, a Mr. Edward freaking Cullen if my suspicion is correct. Which it probably is since he's the only guy she's boinked since that asshole Gavin turned her life upside down.
I am about to tell Heidi to keep this information to herself when I hear Emmett and Charlie rush through the door.
"Can you believe it, Charlie?! She is actually pregnant! She is going to have a baby!" She cried, excitedly as they both turned to me, shocked as hell.
I purse my lips at Heidi's big ass mouth, wanting to throttle her but resisting the urge to, by reminding myself that Bella needs us. "Look, Bella just found out. So, I need you two to keep this to yourselves and support Bella in whatever she needs. She doesn't need any shit from you two knuckleheads. Give her time. She'll tell us when she is ready as for the father… well, you can connect the dots." I said, walking out of the apartment as I finished talking.
Knowing how they'll react when they realize Edward is the only one with her as of now. I'll deal with that later. Bella needs us now. She is the priority right now, not them.
"I'll kill him!" I heard Emmett growl, as he ran after me.
I snorted to myself as I pressed the button for the elevator to come up.
"Rosalie! I swear to God, if you leave…" he growled.
My head snapped to look in his direction, narrowing my eyes at him, daring him to speak another word. Feeling the smirk pull at the corners of my mouth as the elevator doors open.
Yeah, go ahead and try something Dimples… I dare you.
My head snaps back into the present as the doctor walks into the waiting room.
"Family of Isabella Swan?" She calls, as we all rush forward.
"What is wrong with her? Will she be alright?" Charlie anxiously asks, towering over her, causing the poor woman to flinch back for a second.
"She is out of the woods now. She said she wants a few moments to herself so, wait a while before you storm in." She rushes out, before walking away.
As I suspected.
"I'll go in first. Heidi go and guard the boy. If something happens to him, they'll deal with me." I throw over my shoulders as I disappear through the doors.
Bella is the priority. She comes first.
For now fuck everybody else.
