I can feel Dax staring at me as he pulls into the In-N-Out parking lot.
"Why are we here?" I ask, blinking back into the present.
"You need to eat." He states, as he turns off the engine and gets out.
Hunger seems to evade me at the moment. Well, it does until Dax leads me into the restaurant and I'm hit smell of greasy manna from heaven.
"You want your usual?" He asks.
I sigh, before nodding once, heading towards an empty table to sit down.
Everything is done on the phone nowadays, so I decided to send a message.. to Rosalie.
Two seconds later, my cell phone is ringing.
"Oh my god!" She screamed into the phone. "Bitch, is it true?"
"Nah. I'm playing a late april fool's joke." I deadpan.
"Wait, so that means...oh shit, Bella. Where are you right now?" She asks.
"Dax brought me to In-N-Out." I respond, watching as Dax grabs the drinks before walking towards me, nodding his head, silently asking who's on the phone.
"I'm on my way." She says hanging up.
"Who was that?" He asks, setting my soda before me.
"Our lovely sister, Rosalie." I mutter, dropping my head into my hands.
"What's up with her?" He asks, sipping his Dr. Pepper.
I look at him disgusted, "How can you drink that shit? It tastes like the medicine Aunty Juni would bring from those weird getaways. " I complain, wrinkling my nose.
"Hey, it does not." He mutters sipping happily before getting up and going to get the food.
As soon as he leaves Rose walks in through the door, heading towards the table.
"Bella!" She greets happily.
"Rose." I mutter, sipping the 7up he brought me to settle the uncomfortable fluttering in my stomach.
"When did you find out?" She asks, smiling as Dax comes with the food.
"Here. Go get me a double double with some animal fries and a medium drink." She says, pushing the money onto his hands.
Dax rolls his eyes before going to get in line to get her food.
"Twenty minutes ago." I answer, pinching the bridge of my nose.
"Seriously?" She gasped, her eyes widening. "Are you going to tell Edward?" She asks, as she swipes and throws them into her mouth.
"Oh gawd, t-ey weelly hot." She says around a mouthful.
Have you ever felt so sick that every little noise
annoys or irritates you? That's me, right now.
"Serves you right for eating my fries." I snip, as I grab my burger and take a large bite.
The groan that leaves my mouth as the cheese and flavor of the meat of the burger touch my tongue makes my stomach rumble hungrily.
"You must be hungry. When was the last time you ate?" She asked.
"Yesterday...around noon, during break." I mutter, taking another bite.
"That's not good. How are you feeling?" She asks, worried.
"To be honest, I'm just really tired. The nausea medicine has helped immensely. " I mutter.
She nods in agreement, as her phone vibrates.
"Emmett?" I ask as she smiles down at her phone.
"Ugh. Yeah. I told him last week. He's ecstatic...he told me he's already put in transfer request." She says, looking up at me.
"I don't...I don't know if I want to tell him. I-I it's too early. We don't even know if.. if it'll survive." I whisper, suddenly not hungry anymore.
"Oh, quit being so negative. You can't always see the negatives in life. You can't live like this. Be happy." She says
"Rose, I'm not trying to be negative. It's a fact. Some pregnancies don't get past the first trimester. I'm scared."
I could feel the overwhelming need to cry sneak up on me but I changed my train of thought, quickly nipping that in the bud.
"Don't be. If anyone should be scared it's me. Remember the doctor told us how probable it is that I'll be able to have a baby after the accident? Don't you think I'm scared too? Fuck, yeah I am. But I have Emmett. Just like you have Edward. I know you don't want to hear this, sis, but he's the father of that child you're carrying. He deserves to know." She whispered, grabbing my hand.
I sigh. Fuck, I hate it when she's right.
"Do it. I promise I'll be right there with you." She promised.
I send him a message before I lose my nerve.
"Bitch, I meant for you to call him." She says, rolling her eyes at me.
I laugh at her reaction, as I grabbed a handful of fries and smother them in ketchup. "I told him to call me."
"I probably shouldn't be telling you this, because he wanted to surprise you but Edward and Emmett are on their way. Their parents are going to come on Thursday. " she says.
Dax suddenly appears at the end of the table, with her food, and a cup of lemonade. "Here you are, Rosebud." He says, squeezing in next to me.
"Bells, call him."
"I think I'll just surprise him when he lands." I say, smiling as my brain hatched an idea.
"What is it?"
"How do you feel about going on a little shopping trip?" I ask, smiling.
She, of course, was in the middle of a bite when I said this, so she almost choked.
"...sh-oh-rr…." She answers mid munch.
"Great. Dax, you coming?" I ask turning to him.
He nods his head in response, not bothering to verbally answer.
Great. We're going to have to work fast.
