"You are the only one that needs to know, I'll keep you my dirty little secret. Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret. Hope that you can keep it, my dirty little secret. Who has to know?"

-All American Rejects "Dirty Little Secret"

"The event that took place the night before never happened and it would never be talked about"

Bella POV

Neither of us expected anything to happen from that night; both of us were virgins before then so there was no possibility of contracting a STD. We knew there was a chance of pregnancy but neither of us thought it would actually happen.

The stares we forced at each other now rivaled that morning after Jessica's party. We knew talking was necessary but neither of us knew where to begin.

"Well, this will make it a lot harder to forget we had sex that night." I finally said breaking the silence.

"Yeah… so what do you want to do with it?" Edward quietly asked"

"I'm not sure. I was thinking that I'll have it and give it to someone else… like in Juno. Only we should find a better couple than Mark and Vanessa. Is that okay with you? I don't think I can handle taking care of this baby now or in seven months."

"What ever you want to do is fine with me Bella. I think you would make a great mother though." Edward said causing my face to turn red.

"Really Edward, I'm barely 17, and a junior in high school. I don't think our baby would be best off in the care we could offer it now."

"I guess your right. Why didn't you tell Carlisle it was me, that I'm the father? I'm just as much a part of this as you and I want to be a part of this and help you through it."

"Well, I'm sure he wasn't expecting anything like that from me, Rosalie maybe, but not me and he might have had a heart attack if I pulled you into this. You know you're his favorite and I couldn't let you disappoint him now. We'll tell him later though; he might die if he had no idea who the father is and saw a head full of your bronze hair on the baby."

"Bella, Carlisle's been my father for 13 years, and you know him almost as well as I do; he would never react like that. I can deal with disappointing him and Esme. Besides Emmett will be thrilled I'm not the perfect child anymore. I feel guilty for not getting any blame for this; you shouldn't want to talk to me anymore."

"Edward Anthony Masen Cullen get it out of your thick head that you ruined my life. You have made my life so much better for all of the 15 years that I've know you. I can't even imagine you being associated with anything bad. Stop blaming yourself for everything."

Before Edward could say anything my phone beeped signaling that it was 5:00 and my dad, Charlie, would be home soon, I suddenly realized that we were still sitting in the parking lot at the hospital.

"I need to get home and make dinner for Charlie; can you take me home now?" I got out of the back seat of his car and climbed into the passenger seat.

Twenty minutes later we arrived at my house, thankfully before Charlie.

"I was wondering if you wanted to have a sleepover with 'Alice' tonight." Edward asked.

"Sure, do you want to stay for dinner then? I'm sure Charlie won't mind. What do you want?"

"Whatever is fine. Are you going to tell him, Charlie I mean about the-," Edward's eyes fell on my soon to be large stomach, "Baby tonight? Of course he probably won't let you spend the night if you do and then once he finds out it's mine he'll find a way to legally kill me. He's a cop he know things like that."

"I have a feeling the next person to know I'm pregnant will be Alice and I'm not going to mention your name for a while. I don't need both of us grounded or worse, dead. This will kill Evan too. I'm supposed to be a role model for him; how will he ever look up to me again?"

Evan is my seven year old half-brother. Charlie got remarried two years after my mother, Renée, left him. Evan was on the way before the wedding. Victoria, my step-mom, was okay, I guess. I didn't really take the time to get to know her. As far as my seven year old mind was concerned she was taking my mommy's place and she was not my mommy.

Unfortunately, Charlie Swan has problems maintaining marriages for more than six years and Victoria died in a horrible plane crash when I was thirteen. This loss hurt Charlie more than when my mother left him. Not only was he losing another wife, but this left him with two children to care for on.

Charlie has endured more pain than he deserves and my pregnancy might send him over the edge.

"Don't worry Bella; Evan's too young to understand everything. And he will forgive you." Edward always knows how to comfort me.

I took the cowardly route for dinner. I'm sure if I ate with Charlie it was sure to be awkward, and I really wasn't up to dealing with that. So I called Charlie at the police station to ask about sleeping over at the Cullen's house and to tell him dinner would be in the fridge with microwaving instructions. Evan was at a friend's house until Charlie picked him up so I was free to go to Edward's sooner than anticipated.

Edward drove down the circuitous road to his house never talking his eyes never off the road once. We maintained this silence when we reached his house and got out of his car.

Before opening his front door I barely heard Edward say, "This should be interesting."

Author's Note: Hi everyone, I know this is really late and this is a kind of short chapter with out much action. This chapter was supposed to be the second half of chapter three but I didn't feel like typing it all at once. Hopefully the next chapter will be more fun; I haven't started to write it yet. I kinda randomly made up Evan because I wanted Bella to have a sibling and it bothers me when people make one of the Cullens Bella's sister or brother. He'll be part of the story later don't worry he will be adorable. Victoria, Bella's stepmother isn't a vampire for the purposes of this story but she might be if I make a sequel. Anyway I hope this turned out better than I think it did. I have to get back to my boring English homework.
