Chapter 3
BPOV
"Oh my lord. What happened?" I heard a motherly voice question.
"She passed out." I heard Emmett mutter.
"Is that... is that a baby monitor?" I heard her voice squeak.
"Um...yea." Rose whispered. She was obviously the closest to me by the sound of her voice.
"Is she..." Esme trailed off.
"Yep she's--"the little pixie giggled.
"I'm pregnant" I mumbled incoherently. Slowly I opened my eyes to see myself lying in a white hospital room. I didn't need to ask, I've been here so many times before. The hard bed, the creepy emptiness of the room... I basically live here. Around the room people were everywhere. Leaning against the farthest wall was Alice, Jasper and Emmett. Emmett was holding his sister down, pressing down on her shoulders and thankfully he was doing so, unless she would be bouncing through the ceiling by now. Jasper was just giving me an apologetic smile for either the fact that I'm going to be a single pregnant mother or for his fiancés behavior. Either way it was helpful. Sitting on one side of my bed in a chair that couldn't be comfortable was Rosalie and on the other side on a long green couch was Esme and my mother, Rene. Almost hidden in the corner of the room was my father, looking like he was about the kill somebody.
"Hi everyone." I stated weakly. Everyone continued staring at me like I had two heads.. except for Alice and Rose.
"Good evening Bella!" Carlisle sang as he walked into my room. Of course, my father-in-law was my doctor. It couldn't get any worse then that. "Hello everyone!" he continued.
"Um... hi." I said looking up only to look back down when I was blinded by strong white lights.
"Carlisle, am I really... you know... pre"
"Pregant?" Alice offered.
"Yes, thank you. That." Carlisle just looked at me smiling a great big wide smile.
"Yes Bella dear. You are indeed pregnant congradulations!" he said,. still using that sing-song voice. Everyone was silent as Carlisle checked my IVs.
"Bella. Who's is it? It cant be Edwards." somebody suddenly asked.
"Excuse me?" I said looking at me father.
"Bella... Edward's been gone for sometime now. I'm not mad at you... I just to know who's the father so I can beat the crap out of him for you."
"Dad!"
"Seriously tell me! I deserve to know who will be helping you support this child!"
"Children and Charlie, they I believe are indeed Edward's."
"But how? He's been gone for two months. Clearly she should've known by now, don't you think?"
"DAD! How could you believe that I of all people, your daughter, would cheat on my HUSBAND!?" I screamed making the monitors go wild.
"IT'S THE ONLY REASONABLE EXPLANATION DEAREST DAUGHTER! THERE IS NO WAY YOU COULD BE PREGNANT UNLESS IT ISNT EDWARD'S!" he bellowed. Suddenly I burst into tears and Rose, Alice, Esme and Rene were by my side in less then a second.
"ENOUGH CHARLIE!" Carlisle said stepping in, "SHE IS ONLY 8 WEEKS PREGNANT WHICH MAKES SENSE SINCE EDWARD LEFT 10 WEEKS AGO! ITS JUST THE AMOUNT OF TIME NEEDED FOR THIS TO HAPPEN SO LET IT BE!" tears from Carlisle fatherlyness only caused the tears to flow faster.
"It is his Bella?" Charlie whispered, obviously embarrassed because of his little outburst.
"D-dad. O-o-of course it's Edwards. What kind of person do you think I am?" I stuttered through my tears.
"How are you going to do this Bella?" he continued, "Without Edward here, you're all by yourself. You cant do this alone... you don't have financial aid to help you and making money teacher 3rd graders isn't going to pay for everything. Doctors and baby supplies get expensive sweetie." This only caused a fresh wave of tears to fall and for the girls to start wiping them away.
"Charlie! How can you say something like that? She's struggling enough, don't add unnecessary stress!" my mother exclaimed.
"Rene, this is necessary though!" he stated.
"Mom... he's... he's right. I-I-I can-n-n-t d-o-d-o this on-n my-y o-w-own. I can't do this." I cried.
"Bella. Darling. You underestimate your family. You won't be on your own. We'll be there every step of the way to help you through this. Whatever you need we'll get! I promise... you deserve this in every way possible. Your going to make a wonderful mother, I've seen the way you've handled Tyler. Your wonderful. Don't worry." Emse soothed as if I was a 5 year old girl whose doll's arm had fallen off because her brother pulled it off to be funny. (A/N- True story)
"Thanks..." Suddenly a high pitched alarm sounded making me jump.
"Sorry guys, I've got to meet with my flower coordinator. I've got to go. Jazz, you can stay if you want." Alice quickly said. Suddenly something clicked in my head.
"Oh my god Alice! Your wedding! I'm going to be fat!" I screamed. Surprisingly Alice just laughed.
"Silly, don't worry. I would want you to be there if you had two heads and one hundred eyes. I don't think a baby belly will cause too much harm, if not make the family pictures even more beautiful since there will be a pretty woman carrying another Cullen in it." She winked at me, "Oh, and think about how much fun I'm going to have picking out a maternity bridesmaids dress!" I could only laugh at that.
"Fine. Go... have fun and don't pick anything I'm allergic to." I said.
"Or anything she'll want to eat!" Emmett boomed. "Who knows what kind of things she'll be craving in the next months!" The entire room burst into laughter and you could hear Alice's musical laughter as is faded down the hallway.
"Thanks guys... now I have one problem. I've still got to tell Edward..." The room fell quiet again as we all went into deep thought. How and when would I tell him...
