I missed sitting outside; watching the flowers change color after a few weeks and breathing in fresh air.
Since I started playing nice with Stefan, everything became easier to deal with. He would even let me walk around the house with him or if someone else was accompanying me. I could even go outside and get some fresh air. But every time I looked at myself, I see the ring on my finger. I did feel like I was somehow betraying Emmett and ignoring our love. I know that he told me to pretend that I liked being here, but just thinking about marrying someone else made me feel physically ill.
It has been a week since Alice slipped Emmett's hand written note into the hip band of my underwear. Ever since then, I've been trying to find out who was secretly allies with Emmett. To me, everyone acted the same and it was so hard to tell who was being good and who was being bad. I wished I could think cleverly and just figure out who it is on my own, but I don't know how.
Stefan had been pressuring me to talk about the weddings plans, too. I should be planning a wedding with Emmett! Not Stefan. Yesterday, he and I went to see where we would book the wedding. What he wanted wasn't what I'd like. He chose an old church - something you'd see out of a cheesy movie. I was never the type of girl who wanted to get married in a church.
It's not that I don't believe in God, but my dad never took me to a church when I was younger. We only started to go to masses because of Sue. Plus, I loved the idea of being married outdoors.
Another thing he wanted that I didn't was the amount of guests to invite. He had already invited over a thousand people to come already, without my consent of course. I think this wedding was more to get under Emmett's skin.
The only part I wasn't dreading was the part where I got to taste test cakes to see which one I liked best. Ugh, by nine months, I'm going to look like a bus.
There was mumbling amongst some of the staff for the past few days. I managed to listen in on some conversations and apparently Emmett's been running around town doing things, and that made Stefan angry for some reason. Every time Stefan heard what Emmett was up to, he would get upset. I would smile to myself when he'd rant to me about it because I knew Emmett was just making distractions and irritating Stefan. I don't really know if Stefan would be upset if he lost me, probably not, but I do know he does not want Emmett to have me.
"Bella, are you ready?"
I looked up to see one of Stefan's right hand man. Today, I was going to the doctor's and see my little bug on the ultrasound screen. I'm hoping I'm far along now to find out the gender of my baby.
"Yeah, I'm ready." I replied. The man helped me to my feet, which had been hurting for the past week. They were swollen and I didn't fit my shoes properly anymore.
As I was brought to a car, I sat down and then it hit me. Where is Vladimir? Usually he'd accompany me to things like this because Stefan doesn't trust anybody like he trusted Vladimir.
"Where's Vladimir?"
"Something has happened which required him to stay behind. I have been asked to take you instead." He explained simply.
"What happened?" I asked. I knew that this guy wouldn't tell me shit but I needed to act like I actually cared.
"I'm sorry, Bella, I cannot tell you." He apologized.
I sighed as I stared out the window. While he was driving to the doctor's, we passed by my old house, which pained me inside. I missed that place. I wonder if Jared and Kim still live there of they found a house to live in. They probably already know the gender of their baby by now. I hope it was a girl, like they wanted. God, I missed them and even Angela.
I missed the sense of knowing that if I walked down the hall, Kim would only be a door away.
I wiped the tears from my eyes as I though about how many times I had accidentally ran into her while coming out of my room. I really hope they don't believe the rumors that are being spread about me.
After a while, we pulled into a parking lot. The man walked around the side and held the door open for me. I didn't bother to ask his name because it didn't really matter. I bet this is the only day I'd get to seem him anyway. When Vladimir and Stefan are finished with whatever they were doing, this guy would just end up another member of the not-so-important staff again.
I sat in the waiting room for about an hour before they called my name. The nurse made me take off everything and put on a hospital gown. I laid down on the hospital chair, waiting for the doctor to come in.
There was a knock on the door before Dr. Parker walked in with a smile on his face.
"Hello there, Bella, how are you feeling?"
"I'm okay. The little bug started to move a bit."
He pulled up a seat and started to feel my stomach.
"That's good to hear. Is there any pain?"
Yeah, his name's Stefan. "No, Dr. Parker."
He ran a few tests before he started to put the jelly on my stomach and use the ultrasound machine.
"You're about four months along. It might be a little too soon to tell, but would you like to see what you're having?"
With a wide smile on my face, I nodded. He smiled back and pointed to the screen.
"We will have to see as the weeks go by, but it seems like you're having a little boy."
Dr. Parker went to get the copies of the ultrasound and when he came back, he handed them to me.
After the appointment, I sat in the car staring at the pictures. When I finally looked up from my pictures, I noticed we weren't on the familiar road back to Stefan's place.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
He half-smiled at me and shrugged, continuing to drive. I sat in my seat in fear. Was I going to die today? Maybe he found out that Emmett gave me a note and now he wanted me and my baby to die.
The man drove in a wooded area. Oh god, I'm going to die. I rubbed my stomach as the guy stepped out of the car. My eyes shot to the ignition, where he left the keys. Hurriedly, I reached over to the driver's side and locked the doors.
I'm not going to die today.
When the guy heard me lock the doors, he ran to the driver door, pressed his hands up against the glass and stared me in the eyes, somewhat pleadingly.
"Bella, open the door, please." He said.
I shook my head and I squirmed over to the driver's seat. The man threatened to break the window and without thinking, I put the car in reverse and started to back away from the forest.
"Shit!" I shouted as I saw another car not too far away, chasing me. I closed my eyes for a moment and decelerated.
"Please god, if you can hear me, let me live."
I hadn't realized that I pulled over to the shoulder of the road. There was a knock on my window but I didn't dare to open my eyes. I was way too scared to look my captor in the eyes.
Then I heard the most familiar voice in the world. The one I have been longing forever to hear again. And I swore I nearly forgot what he sounded like, until now.
"Bella, open the damn door! Let me see you!"
I opened my eyes and breathed in deeply. Looking to my left, my breathing hitched and I could have cried with joy right then and there. I breathed a name that I was forbidden to speak for a long time. And finally, I had the freedom to say it.
"Emmett."
Hey guys I hope you like, let me know what you think.
