Chapter 10: News

Nessie's POV

Pregnant. Baby. Boy. Those three words kept bouncing around in my head refusing to settle in any one place. I just couldn't grasp the concept that there was a new life forming inside of my body right at this second.

It scared the hell out of me. I was in no way ready for this. Damn me for forgetting to give Jacob a condom! Jacob...I hadn't even thought about him yet! How was Jacob going to react? Would he leave? I couldn't exactly blame him for not wanting to deal with the responsibility. But even though I hadn't know him for very long I knew it would hurt to lose him.

Maybe I shouldn't say anything to Jacob just yet. He didn't need to know yet, right? No. I shook my head. This wasn't something that I could hide from him. He deserved to know the truth. Let him do with it what he may

I closed my eyes as I laid there on my bed thinking. It had only been an hour since Carlisle had given me the Earth shattering, life altering news. I'd told my sister already and she was as shocked by the news as I was.

"You do have options you know," I heard her say.

I opened my eyes and looked at her. "What options do I have?"

She rolled her eyes at me. "I know you're in shock and all but you haven't even thought about the options that you have right now?"

Options.

"Let's face it Nessie you're way too young to be a mother. You should get an abortion,"

Abortion? No. Right away I knew I didn't want to have an abortion. Nor did I want to give up my baby for adoption either. I was going to keep the baby. Right now that was the only thing I was certain of.

"I'm keeping him," I said a tad bit more harshly than I meant to sound.

"Nessie think about this logically for a second. You're way too young to have a baby. You still have your whole life ahead of you. College, a career. Don't let one little mistake ruin your life,"

"My mistake is not going to ruin my life! I'm not the only girl in history who has gotten pregnant young and still went on to have a successful life and career. Yes it'll be harder but not impossible,"

"But why purposely make it harder when-"

"I'm keeping him," my words felt like they were laced with venom as I hurled them at her before leaving the room.

I needed to get out of here and go somewhere where I could think. I walked right out the door when I was stopped right in my tracks by a pair of warm arms.

"Nessie what's wrong?" It was amazing how calm I suddenly felt in Jacob's presence.

"Nothing is wrong," I lied. "I just need to get out of here. That's all,"

Jacob didn't look convinced but he didn't say anything more on the subject. "Well why don't we go have breakfast? Have you eaten yet?"

My growling stomach reminded me that I hadn't eaten breakfast. I hadn't even realized I was hungry until he said anything. But now it was all I could think about.

"I haven't eaten anything," I admitted.

"Alright then let's go. How does Denny's sound?"

"Right now anything sounds good,"

I didn't say much on the way to the restaurant. I could feel my heart pick up in speed ever time I thought of bringing up the subject with Jacob. Jacob glanced at me every now and then worriedly.

"Alright Nessie will you tell me what's wrong before I lose my mind?" he asked as soon as we were seated.

Great. I hadn't been fooling him at all. "Nessie tell me what's wrong?"

I sighed. "You're not going to like this,"

"I'm not going to like what? Come on just tell me. Whatever it is maybe I can make it better,"

I took a deep breath in an attempt to calm myself down. "I'm pregnant," there it was out now. Let the pieces fall where they may.

"Well damn that's not what I was expecting you to say,"

"I'm so sorry Jacob I didn't mean for this to happen. I was stupid and irresponsible. I had condoms and I forgot to give you one and-"

"Nessie," Jacob grabbed my arms and the heat helped me relax. "I'm not mad. In fact I'm the opposite of mad. I'm beyond happy,"

"You are?"

"You just told me that I'm going to be a father. Why wouldn't I be happy?"

"Oh I don't know maybe because most guys would run at the mere thought of responsibility,"

"I'm not most guys," he said. "We both made this baby together. So we we will both be in this together. I'm very happy knowing that I am going to be a father,"

I was trying not to cry hearing those words. Damn pregnancy hormones.

"Is that why you were so upset this morning? Because you thought I'd leave?"

"It's not just that. My sister is insisting that I abort the baby. I don't want to get rid of him. So I got really mad at her,"

Jacob shook his head. "It's your choice and she'll just have to respect that,"

Before I could respond a waitress appeared to take our order. I was impatient for her to leave so I could get back to my conversation with Jacob.

"What do you think we're having?" Jacob asked once the waitress had left.

"Carlisle said it's a boy," I couldn't help but smile as I said the words out loud. I was starting to come to terms with the idea that I would be giving birth to a baby boy in a few months.

The waitress came back with our food and I took a bite of my pancakes. I couldn't believe it. Jacob was happy. He was truly happy about the baby.

"Where are you going?" I asked when Jacob stood up from his seat.

"The restroom. Don't worry I will be right back,"

I bit into my sausage. I was savoring when a voice ask "Did I hear correctly that you're pregnant?" oh God no. Please Lord no don't let it be her.

I looked up from my plate to see none other than Stacy leaning over the table. She looked extremely gleeful. Not good. Why oh why did she have to be here right now of all times?

"You are pregnant aren't you? Oh how I can't wait to tell everyone at school what a little slut you are,"

"Leave me alone!" I said exasperatedly.

"Why should I leave you alone you little whore?"

"What did you just call her?!" Jacob yelled. His entire body shook with anger.

"Oh Jacob you can do so much better than this piece of trash here. I can show you a good time without giving you the nine month later added responsibility,"

"Don't you ever talk about her like that again!"

"Oh please I can-"

"I'm going to stop you right there! The answer is no! The answer was always no and it will always be no! Renesmee is the only girl I will ever want to be with! If I ever hear you talking to her like that again I will personally make sure you regret it!"

"But-"

"Oh and I find it extremely ironic that you stand here calling my girlfriend a whore when you're the one who throws yourself at every man you see. When you're the one who is so severely lacking in dignity that you can't even take no for an answer. Yet you have the audacity to call my girlfriend names. Nessie let's just go pay and get out of here,"

Holy hell what just happened here?! Jacob and I left a very shocked Stacy standing there.
