Ok I actually quite like this chapter; I hope you do too! I realised I only have till August 2nd (or 4th if you an Aussie too!) to get this done! By then Breaking Dawn will be out and this site will go crazy! I dont think people would stick around to read... Well I'm trying my best to finish it before then!
Bella's Prov.
It wasn't long before the rest of the Cullen's heard of my recovery and my small hospital room was crammed with vampires. Alice had been the most excited and jumped into bed with me causing a lot of pain. She lay on one side and Edward sat next to me on the other playing with my fingers. I still hadn't managed to sit up again. After the last 2 times I wasn't completely against testing my limits for awhile; at least no until I had some more medication. Jasper sat as far from me as possible, I wasn't insulted; the smell of my blood must have been choking in such a confined space for them all especially Jasper. I had insisted on him leaving if it was too much but he continued to sit in the corner undeterred. Emmett suddenly burst into the room with Rosalie following sulkily behind him. He ran over to hug me but Edward managed to jump in the way just in time. It resulted in them crashing into each other; Emmett had been holding a box which flew into the air as they came crashing onto the ground together. Esme managed to catch the box in mid air and keep it safe; the boys weren't so lucky. They lay stunned for a moment until the room burst with laughter.
"Seriously Edward, if you wanted me that way you should have just asked!" Emmett yelled as Edward jumped off his brother and stood up. Emmett stood and grabbed him in a bear hug.
"You know I love you, just not that much!" He said jokingly as Edward shoved him on playfully laughing along too. Esme handed him back the mystery box as he walked over to me.
"This is a get well present from me to you!" He declared happily, "And just so you know, nobody else thought to get you a present!" Edward cleared his throat slightly gesturing to the stack of flowers and balloons piled in one corner. Emmett looked over annoyed.
"Well I'm the only one to get you this!" He placed the box on my lap as I opened in curiously. Inside laid a beautiful cake that was only slightly deformed from the previous fall. I smiled gratefully looking up at him.
"Thank you Emmett, I don't think I'll be able to eat it all though!" I laughed slightly as I read the scripted get well message on the cake.
"I'm sure it'll fit!" He laughed with me as Carlisle suddenly walked in.
"Okay guys I'm sorry but I'm going to need to talk to Bella for a moment alone." He smiled apologetically as the group walked out grumbling unhappily. Edward was the last to leave but not before giving Carlisle an inquisitive look, he turned to me shrugged and left.
Carlisle shut the door silently behind them and turned back to me.
"I think there a few matters we need to discuss Bella." My body froze as I process his words.
'Discuss what?" I tried to sound innocent but my voice came out shaky.
"After the duration of your tests a few of the results have show me some… interesting things." He began pulling up a seat next to my bed. "I would think you're already aware of this but the tests have shown that you're… pregnant."
My entire being went into panic overdrive as I processed his words.
"Please don't tell Edward it was all one big misunderstand Jacob and I didn't mean for it to happen Ill tell him myself just please don't upset him!" The words came out in one long spiel and by the time I was finished I was out of breath. Looking up with pleading eyes I waited for his response. He smiled calmingly at me and put a reassuring hand on my shoulder.
"Your secrets safe with me, just be careful how you deal with this. If you need and help at all please feel free to come to me." Once again tears overtook me as I broke out in sobs. Carlisle came closer as I wrapped my arms around him soaking his shirt with my tears. I closed my eyes and let his soothing voice fill me.
"It's going to be okay Bella. You're going to get though this. It's all going to work out…" His voice sounded just likes Edwards did, husky and sexy. It wasn't until the last moment that I realised what I was doing. My lips pressed to his, they connected for a single moment until he suddenly pulled away.
"Bella please…" he started with a concerned voice as I broke out in another wave of sobs.
"I'm so sorry Carlisle! Its just you sounded so much like Edward and after everything and these damn hormones! Please forgive me, everything's just getting too much for me..." I looked up at him eyes glistening with tears as he smiled.
'It's ok Bella, I completely understand. Next time just keep your lips to Edward. As for the pregnancy I'll pop by later to help you think through your options."
"My options…?" I repeated confused until it clicked, was Carlisle insane! "Carlisle, No I'm going to keep it!" He frowned slightly starting intently at me.
"Are you absolutely sure that's what you want, babies are hard to take care of let alone having a werewolf baby in a house full of vampires!" I thought about this; he had a good point. How would this baby survive, I was after all going to hopefully be changed soon if I had my way. Would it have the same affect on the Cullen's that Jacob did? What about the treaty? My head began to spin with the possibilities as I lay back down.
"What am I going to do…?" I whispered as Carlisle smiled down at me.
"There's no need to make a rash decision right now, take you time the right direction will come to you. I would however strong suggest telling Edward soon." I shot up in bed.
"No I can't tell him yet; imagine what he'll think! He would be absolutely crushed… I can't have him leaving me again…"
"There's no need for such rash thoughts I'm sure if you really explained what happened he would understand." He said trying to calm me.
"I'm not so sure…"
Our silence was broken by a loud crashing followed by yells and screams.
"What's going on out there?" I asked though I didn't need to. Just as the words passed my lips Jacob came crashing into the room. Edward followed him a second later sending him crashing to the ground.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING HERE MUTT?!" Edward shouted furiously, pinning him to the floor.
"GET OFF ME BLOOD SUCKER! I'M HERE FOR THE SAME REASON YOU ARE, TO SEE BELLA, WHATS WRONG WITH THAT!" He yelled back wrestling with Edward on the floor.
"Guys please stop fighting, what on earth is going on here?!" I shouted louder than I expected. The room went silent as the both stood up, guiltily look at me.
"I just came to make sure you were all right; I just heard what happened. I really need to talk to you about before as well..." Jacob said as he shot a glare at Edward.
"This mutt shouldn't be here! He's only going to make things worse! I can tell he's planning something bad!" Edward snapped back as their eyes locked together.
"Okay cut it out now! Edward would you mind leaving us alone for a couple of minutes we need to sort some things out." I looked between them both as Edward shot a final glare at Edward smiled in my direction a walked out.
"Speak." I snapped looking at him with hate filled eyes.
"Please Bella don't hate me. I was so over whelmed you can't just drop something that HUGE on a guy randomly! I had to clear my head a bit. Then I heard what happened; it was my entire fault! I shouldn't have left you to drive by yourself. Please forgive me..." His looked at me with huge pleading eyes. I crossed my arms holding on to my hate.
"I just don't know what I'm going to do anymore... What will I tell Edward? How will they all react; there going to HATE me!" Hate was replaced with another wave of stress and fear. No matter how far I tried to run the problem always hit me again and again harder each time. Jacob came over to my bed and crabbed me tightly.
"It's going to be fine," He talked into my hair before looking me straight in the eye. "Come with me! Leave all these problems and stay with me. We can raise OUR baby together no problems!"
I looked up at him in surprise. My subconscious had been spot on after all! It was just like before; I knew what was about to come.
"I can't just leave Jacob! I have a life here; sure there a few major issues to resolve but I'm sure we can work it out. I can't just go..." The hurt in his eyes hurt me just as much. He didn't speak but slowly put his hands to my stomach. It was slowly starting to round and I knew I wouldn't be able to hide it from everyone much longer.
He smiled gently as he rubbed the bump murmuring to it softly.
"Hey baby, its Jacob your real daddy; always remember that ok?" He stood slowly and walked to the door before turning to look at me.
"I'm sorry..." he whispered as he left.
"Sorry for what...?" I asked out loud but he was already gone. What was he about to do? My question was answered by a sudden crash and yells. I froze in shock and fear... he hadn't... he couldn't have... NO!
