Teen pregnancy style twilight
Chapter 2
New life
I was having a really weird dream; Edward and I were in my bathroom with a small and very positive pregnancy test in our hands. Suddenly, I began to remember it all. It wasn't a dream, it was true. Edward and I were going to be parents. This couldn't be true. This must be some kind of sick joke or something… God, please, no! It's a joke, please. I opened my eyes slowly. Edward was beside me taking my hand with a very worried face.
"Thank God you woke up. I was about to take you to the hospital," he said, a little relieved. "How do you feel, love?" he asked me. I gave him my hand to help me stand up.
"Oh my God, Edward. What are we going to do?" he returned to his original face of preoccupation. "I'm pregnant. You realize that? How are we going to tell your family? And what about Charlie? What will they say about us?" I began to imagine how it would be when the school knew about it. This was a town- a very small town. "What are we going to do with the baby?" I felt the tears in my eyes.
"Calm down, love," he told me as he made circles on my back. "The truth is that I don't know. I'm as terrified as you are, but what matters is that we are in this together," he said as he sat beside me and hugged me tightly. I took the opportunity to recharge my head on his chest. "I don't know what is the best for the baby, but I do not believe that an abortion is the best choice," he said and I stood up abruptly.
"An abortion? Of course I was not talking about an abortion!" his face immediately grew quiet. "What I mean is that, vampire or not, you and I are too young to be parents," I said as I took a seat again on his legs. "I do not mean in the way of maturity, either. I know that you are more mature than my grandfather was…." I paused, thinking about how our future was fading. "It's just that we had so many plans- we would get married after finishing college, you were going to turn me, we also wanted to travel, see many places, enjoy each other…." Saying this, I couldn't help tears, the traitors.
"I know, love, but us having a baby doesn't mean we can't do any of that. I mean, it would be a little…complicated. But we will overcome it," he said as he kissed me gently. Then I cleared my mind a bit and imagined for a moment a child of Edward and I. It was something really beautiful.
"But it is your decision. If you think it best to give the baby up for adoption, I am willing to consider it," Edward continued. At that moment, I understood it. I could never bear be separated from this baby. It was such a weird feeling. I mean, I was not feeling happy about my pregnancy, but suddenly the sadness and disappointment lightened a bit with the thought of my baby. It was an inexplicable bond; I could never give up something that Edward and I made.
"I want to keep it. I want my baby with me," I said while I returned the kiss. "But I want to ask you a favor," I said as I stood up.
"Whatever you want, my love," he said with a huge smile on his face.
"I do not want us to tell anyone yet, please. I'm not ready for what comes." The truth was that I didn't think I could handle the pressure of the comments by people in this town. "I'll let you know when I'm ready for it." I could even imagine what Charlie was going to say. Nothing bothered me more than this. He would be very disappointed in me. Other people could say whatever they want, but I don't think I could handle my dad's disappointment right now.
"We'll do it how you want, love," he said, hugging me. "Well, it's my turn now," he said, taking an unnecessary breath. "My conditions are: first of all, I don't want you to do any heavy work; second, I don't want anything to stress you, okay? Third, I want you to eat all you want, whenever you want,. I do not want my baby to be hungry," he said with one of those smiles that melted my heart. While he rubbed my flat stomach, he said, "Now I want you to have extra care when walking." Clearly he couldn't lose the opportunity to make fun of my lack of coordination. "And finally- and this is not in dispute- I don't want you to see Jacob. There's no way I'm going to risk you or my son or daughter." To hear from Edward's lips the words 'son or daughter' was something inexplicable.
"Okay, I don't want to discuss this, so I'll leave it for now," I said as I stood up and started walking to the kitchen. "For now, I will use my new privileges and will go for some fries, because I'm starved," I said as I walked down the stairs. "You know, I change my mind; I want an Oreo sundae," I said as I kissed him playfully on the lips.
"Okay, my lady, your words are my orders," he said as he opened the door for me.
I must say that this sundae was one of the best experiences of my life. To the delight of Edward I almost ate the cup, but I swear I couldn't help it. It was something weird, as if the food were my new Edward. Well, may be not at that level, but something similar. We arrived at my house at 7:00 pm. Charlie was at home.
"Bells?" he called me.
"Yeah, Dad, it's me," I said. "Sorry, Edward and I went for an ice cream. I'll make dinner right now," I said, walking to the kitchen.
"Don't worry, Bells. I'll order a pizza," he said without taking off the eyes from the game.
"Okay, then, Edward and I are in the yard," I said as we left.
"Okay," he replied.
Edward sat down in the old hanging chair; I sat on his lap and leaned my head on his chest. "Edward," I said.
"Hmm," he replied.
"I'm scared," I said honestly. He let me go on. "Charlie is going to be really disappointed. And I don't even want to think about when I tell René." I could not help shedding tears as I said this. "Not that I don't I love the baby! It's just that I am afraid. Edward, I am so scared!" He let me cry without saying a word.
"My Bella," he said wiping my tears. "I understand why you are scared. I'm scared, too. I know it's going to be difficult for your parents. But you know they love you and they will never be ashamed of you. You are not alone, love. I am with you, and my family is too." I nodded. "Well, I think we better go back to the house. Charlie's game is over, so he will coming to get us." I stood up and went to the bathroom to clean my face.
Seeing myself in the mirror, I realized many things. But the most important of all was that my life just changed forever. My life and Edward's life have changed for all of…eternity. And only one night was enough to change it.
