Chapter 6
EDWARD'S POV
"Oh my God." Bella put her hand to her mouth.
"What?"
I'm pregnant.
My eyes widened.
"B-but how?"
"I don't know!" Bella collapsed to the ground, but I caught her around the middle to soften her fall. I kneeled next to her.
"Look, are these things 100 percent accurate?"
Bella looked at me.
"I picked the most accurate one. I could get another one…"
"I'll be right back."
I rushed from the bathroom, and purchased the same test. Bella was still on the ground when I got back.
"Alright, here." I handed her the box, and she went into the stall.
A few minutes passed, and finally Bella came out.
"It's pink. I'm definitely pregnant."
I hugged Bella.
"Are you happy?" I asked.
"I wanted to get pregnant, I just didn't think we could," she backed away, "are you happy?"
I smiled, and kneeled down in front of Bella, putting the side of my face against her stomach. I held her around the middle tightly.
"Yes, I wanted this."
She messed with my hair.
"What are we going to tell the family?"
I stood.
"We should go to Carlisle first."
BELLA'S POV
Carlisle stared in disbelief after we told him.
"The tests must be wrong."
Edward shook his head, and handed him both tests, and their boxes.
"These tests are 99.9 percent accurate, and both came out positive."
Carlisle looked them over.
"This is the first time…that this has ever happened."
"But how did it happen?"
"Well…all I can think of is that maybe…another power or trait Bella possesses as a vampire is that she's still a little human."
"I don't understand."
"Well think about it. Why does she have the urge to bathe and shower frequently? Why did she react the way she did to the poison? Why is it so easy for her to fight the urge to feed? Maybe Bella is still somewhat human."
"It makes sense."
"Bella," Carlisle stood and came to sit on the corner of his desk in front of me, "how are you feeling right now?"
Edward grabbed my hand.
"Happy, and…scared." I bit my lip.
"Why are you scared?" Edward asked gently.
"What if there's something wrong with me? What if I'm not really pregnant?"
"We'll just have to keep an eye on you for the next few weeks. It will become apparent fairly quickly if you're pregnant." Carlisle put his hand on my knee. "Don't be scared."
"We're all here for you Bella." Edward kissed below my ear.
"Which reminds me…we have to tell the others."
EDWARD'S POV
"Okay, now when we tell you…don't ask a bunch of questions because we don't know how this happened." I said.
I didn't want Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, Alice, or Esme upsetting Bella. She was already a little scared as it was.
"Alright just spit it out." Emmett folded his arms.
"Bella…is pregnant."
They all stared, shocked.
"What?" Rosalie's eyes widened.
"Bella is pregnant. So be gentle with her." I warned.
"This is…weird."
"It's also pretty cool." Alice smiled, and hugged Bella.
"Thanks Alice." Bella smiled.
After everyone had left, Bella turned to me.
"Edward…what am I going to tell my mom?"
I frowned.
"You tell her you're pregnant."
"But she just got done saying how we weren't ready."
"Bella," I held her close, "don't worry too much about this."
"I'm trying."
I kissed her hair.
"Bella, we're going to have a baby. We're going to be happy."
She smiled.
"I know."
As I held her, I felt truly happy. We were going to have a baby of our own.
