As soon as I collapsed on my bed there was a knock on my window. I looked up hoping it wasn't Edward. It was Alice. Of course she would have come when she saw me run up to my room. I blindly ran to the window and threw it open. Alice's small body fit thru the window easier than Edward's did. When her feet were on the floor her hard, small arms were around me. She put one arm over my shoulders and walked us to the bed.

"Alice what are you doing here?" I tried to sound normal and stop the, now embarrasing, tears. She looked at me like she was offended.

"What do you think I'm doing here?! I'm your sister Bella! You've obviously been hurt, now I'm gonna comfort you." She gave me a little smile.

"But what about Edward?" I was touched that she was here, but I was still worried about who was taking care of Edward. I mean he obviously was upset.

"Oh Emmett and Jasper took him hunting early. In case you didn't notice he was a little cranky." she held her fore finger and her thumb together when she said a little. "Anyway I would still be here."

"Thanks Alice." I really was thankful that she would choose me over her perfect brother. But then I remembered his eyes. "Yah I guess if it was you I would be with you too." I tried at a small grin.

"Yah he can be kinda scary sometimes." we sat in silence for about ten minutes. Then suddenly Alice sprang up from the bed. "Now, let's go get your test." she held out her hand to me. I took it and stood up.

"What test?" I tried to sound innocent. I hoped she wasn't talking about the test I thought she was.

"Your pregnancy test." she whispered this. "Stop pretending I knew last week, so let's go. Go tell Charlie I'm taking you shopping." She nudged me towards the door.

"Uh, ok." I walked out of my room, made sure the door was closed, and started for the stairs. I stopped in the bathroom first to look in the mirror. My eyes were red and my hair was frizzy. I ran cold water over a rag and dabbed at my eyes. There were only pink now. But I was sure that Charlie wouldn't notice. I forced a brush thru my hair and put it in a loose pony. "Good enough." I sighed and turned off the light.

I walked down the stairs to the living room. Charlie was sitting in his chair watching a basketball game. He was really into the game, his arms and lips twitching, getting ready to shout.

"Dad?" He glanced sideways at me quickly then turned back towards the TV.

"Yah Bells."

"Alice called and she wants me to go shopping with her."

"Really? I didn't hear the phone ring. Well anyway go ahead and have fun. Come home before ten." he had already ended the conversation.

"K. Thanks." I walked towards the front door, slipped on my sneakers, grabbed a coat and a few bucks. I walked out the door and Alice's yellow porsche was already there. I opened the door and climbed in the shiny car.

"I finally get to drive this." she said as she ran her hand over the steering wheel. "We're gonna go to the next town to get and take the test. Ok?"

"Yah that's great." probably better to go to a different city for this. Where here everyone would hear about Chief Swan's daughter buying a pregnancy test.

Alice revved the ignition and reversed down the drive. In a few seconds once again the trees were flying past me. Alice started to shift uncomfortably and tapped on the steering wheel with her nails.

"Bella, can I ask you something?" she turned her gaze towards me then back to the road.

"Alice, what you're doing for me right now, you can ask me anything."

"Who...who's the uh...father? Do you think, if there is a father, I mean." She kept her eyes on the road as she asked me this.

"Well duh Alice! Edward of course. I haven't slept with anyone but him. And that was only once." I was kinda worried that she had to ask.

"Oh ok." she still hadn't looked at me. The car stopped and she took the keys out. "Well let's go." She opened her door and stepped out.

We were at some kind of gas station in the middle of nowhere. But it was actually nice. It even had a metal canopy over the top of the pumps. I sighed and got out of the car, following Alice into the store. The cashier was a blonde skinny girl probably my age. She was chewing gum and had her nose stuck in a fashion magazine. She didn't look up as I walked in. Alice was already in the pharmacy section and holding two pink boxes. She motioned for me to come to her. I trudged over to her and looked at the boxes she was holding. They looked like the best ones from the shelf.

Alice leaned into me and whispered. "I'm gonna buy them and say that they're for me." before I could object she was at the counter smiling at the cashier. I stayed where I was, locating a restroom. I saw the sign in the back corner and waited for Alice to join me again. I heard the cashier snort as she rung up the total. As Alice walked back to meet me I saw the cashier eyeing her with a rude expression on her face. Then she shook her head and went back to her magazine.

"Thanks." I whispered as Alice continued to walk past me to the bathrooms. She nodded her head.

The bathrooms were down a hallway and were single roomed. I held my hand out for the bag but Alice opened the door and walked in. She stood back with the door in her hand and waited for me to come in with her. When I didn't move she sighed.

"Come on Bella we have to stick to the story."

"K." I mumbled. I walked thru the door into the tiled floor of the bathroom. The toilet was farthest from me on the right wall, with the sink next to it. The mirror above the sink was a little dirty for my taste, I tried to ignore it as I continued into the bathroom and Alice shut the door.

"Ok Bella." She set the bag in the sink. "This was the best one I could find." she took out the box and handed it to me. "I won't look. I promise." Alice turned against the door and held her hands over her eyes.

"Thanks." I mumbled again. I looked down at the box now in my hands. "Ok." I said under my breath.

"Is it done yet?" Alice asked for the tenth time.

I was sitting on the floor leaning against the wall, with my head in my hands. Alice was pacing the length of the small room, checking her phone every other second.

"I don't know." I said for the tenth time. I didn't know why she was so anxious. I wanted it to take a long time so I wouldn't have to decide what to do if it was positive.

I had used both tests, just to be sure, as Alice said. They were sitting on the ledges of the small sink. Alice checked at her phone again and jumped up and down.

"It's time Bella." she skipped over to the sink but abruptly turned around towards me. "Did you wanna look?"

I stood myself up and glanced in the mirror behind Alice's head. "Yah."

"Do you want me to leave or something?" she sounded like she was just offering because it was the polite thing to do.

"No you can stay." I numbly walked over to the sink as Alice stepped out of the way. I couldn't feel my hands as I gripped both tests in each of my hands. I raised the tests up to my eyes. My thumbs moved out of the way so that I could see the screen.

I couldn't say anything, I just stood there and let my whole body go numb.

In the tiny screen of both tests there was a tiny pink + .

"Bella what is it?" Alice asked anxiously.

My throat had a big lump in it, and was scratchy. "Positive." it came out in a scratchy whisper. I swallowed, it didn't help.

"Oooohhh!! I'm so happy for you Bella!" Alice was jumping up and down again.

"Yah great." deep down I really was happy that I would be able to have children after all. That feeling started to rise as Alice started clapping her hands. I smiled and jumped with her.

"What are you gonna name it? We should go buy a name book. Oooh we have so much to do..." Alice continued ranting about the baby and all the things that we had to do. But I didn't hear it because a nausious feeling suddenly overtook me and the next thing I knew I was crouching over the toilet with Alice holding back my hair.

Is Edward the father? Should he be the father? Let me know!!
