Chapter 6
BPOV
Watching Edward leave was the hardest thing I had to, but he had to go back home. We had spent two wonderful days together, I'm not going to lie I could get used to that. He was so sweet to me, even when he came into the bathroom when I was getting sick.
I know he was really worried, but I think I'm okay. It can't be what Alice thinks it is, but then again maybe.
I think I'll be making a stop at the drugstore on my way home.
Just then my phone beeped alerting me that I have a text.
I looked down at my phone and it was from Alice.
"B, I went to the drugstore and I have your tests. You will take them when you get home."
It always amazed me how Alice knew what I was going to do before I did.
She was always like that and sometimes it was downright scary.
As I pulled into the driveway, I thought about what would happen if I was pregnant. What the hell would I do?
Edward and I have never talked about what our relationship was or if we even wanted a relationship at all.
Right now, I'm not sure what we are. We are great together in the bedroom and we are compatible in other ways too. But if I was pregnant, I don't know how that would go over with him.
I guess I will find out soon.
As I got out of the car, I could see Alice standing by the door. She looked really excited and I knew that was not going to be a good thing.
I walked to the door and opened it. I knew Alice was going to be following me so I left the door open.
She handed me the bag and told me to go into the bathroom and take all three tests.
I went into the bathroom and read the directions, then did what they said.
I walked back into the living room and sat down.
So many thoughts were running through my head.
What the hell was I going to do if the tests were positive.
"Alice, thank you for getting the tests for me. I was going to stop on the way home, but then I got your text."
"Your welcome, B. I know that you are scared of the results, but whatever happens I'll be here for you," she said as she wrapped her arm around my shoulder.
As we sat there, I heard the timer go off alerting me that it was time to see what the tests said.
Slowly I got up from the couch and pulled Alice with me. I wasn't going to look myself.
I picked up one of the tests and handed it to Alice.
She looked down at it and smiled at me.
"Bella, this one is positive."
I looked at the one in my hand and it said positive too.
Fuck, now what the hell am I going to do.
We both looked at third one and it was positive too.
I looked up at her with tears in my eyes, I could not say anything. My brain was not working at the moment. All I could think about is how in the hell was I going to tell Edward that I was pregnant.
I walked out of the bathroom and sat on the end of my bed.
I noticed Alice walk over and sit by me but I'm not sure if she even said anything.
It felt like hours before I moved again but I'm pretty sure that it was just a a few minutes.
I could hear my phone ringing and I knew it was Edward.
He must have made it home safely.
I didn't answer it, I couldn't.
I didn't know what to say to him at the moment. I know that I would answer it the next time he called but I wouldn't tell him over the phone, if I tell him at all.
"Why didn't you answer the phone?"
"I just wasn't ready to talk to him," I said wiping the tears off my cheeks.
"Bella, from what I saw of him, he is totally in love with you and he will be so happy to have a baby with you. You to are meant to be together."
"Alice, you can't know that, we don't know what we are together. Sure the sex is great and we can talk for hours. But that doesn't mean we are meant to be together."
"I know what I see, and I saw the love he has for you and I don't want you to fuck things up. I know what your mind is thinking. I can see it and I won't let you do it."
"Alice," I started to say but as always she cut me off.
"Bella, not all men are like Jacob. Yes, they are related but he's not like him."
"Whatever," I said as the phone rang.
I got up to answer it.
"Hello," I said.
"Hey Bella, I just wanted to call and let you know I got home safely. I miss you already."
"I miss you too," I said trying to keep my voice normal.
"Bella why do you sound like are you upset or have been crying?"
"It's nothing. I'm fine."
"I know that something is wrong. Please talk to me."
"Nothing is wrong, I just miss you and I don't know when I'll see you again."
"Bella I promise that I will visit again as soon as I can. I wish I didn't have to leave. I've only been gone several hours and I miss you like crazy."
I could not help but to let me tears fall as he said those words to me. I knew that I should tell him about the test but I'm still not sure I should tell him at all.
I mean what if he isn't ready for a baby and he felt like he had to be there for me only for the baby.
I wanted him to be there because he wanted to be there. Hopefully he would want to be there for me as well.
Damn I have a lot to think over.
"I know Edward I just wish that you didn't have to leave. I miss you so much as well. You will never know how much."
"I do sweet girl but I promise to be back before you know it."
"Ok Edward I will talk to you later. Have a good night."
"Nite Bella. I will talk to you tomorrow beautiful."
Once I got off the phone I told Alice that I wanted to go to bed. That I had a lot to think about.
She took that as her cue to leave. I hope that I didn't hurt her feelings but I just wanted to be left to my thinking.
After Alice left, I went to take a shower.
I took my clothes off and looked in the mirror.
You could clearly see a little baby bump there. I lightly ran my hand over it and smiled.
I was happy to have a part of him, even though I'm not sure what will happened when and if I tell Edward.
Maybe I'd just stop talking to him.
He'd forget about me, eventually.
I finished my shower and went to bed.
My mind was full of thoughts and I wasn't sure what to make of them.
Sleep finally came, but I still had no answers.
I woke up the next morning and got ready for work.
I heard my phone ring and I knew it was Edward. I really didn't want to talk to him just yet.
I still had to figure out what to say to him or even if I was going to tell him.
After getting ready for work, I left the house.
I knew that Alice would be waiting for me in my office.
Walking in she was sitting at my desk.
"Alice don't you have work to do. I'm not really in the mood to talk."
"Oh no you don't Bella. You need to figure out if you are going to tell Edward about the baby and if you are how you are going to tell him."
"Alice I really need more time to think. Please don't force me. I will do what I feel is right."
"Fine but if you don't tell him you might regret it."
My day went by fast and I was on my way home.
My phone rang again and again I knew it was Edward.
I parked my car and went inside.
I guess I really should answer his phone call. He will start to worry if I don't.
Sitting on the couch I answered.
EPOV
Leaving Bella was the hardest thing I had to do. I really wanted to stay with her.
I knew that she has not be feeling well and I was hoping that she would go to the doctor.
I was hoping that she would go before I left but she didn't.
I landed and got a cab and went home.
Once I had gotten home went to my room and unpacked my bag. I really didn't have a lot of stuff but still it needed to be unpacked.
Before I jumped into the shower I tried calling Bella but she didn't answer. I guess I would try after I showered.
Jumping into the shower my mind went back to the last two days that I spent will Bella.
I really enjoyed my time I spent with her. I really didn't want to leave but I knew that I had to. I had to get back here.
I finished showering real fast and got out dried off and got dressed.
I sat on my bed taking my phone in my hand. I checked my email before I tried to call her again.
Opening up my email acct. looking through the email I had received. Seeing nothing that was really important I exited my account.
Scrolling through my contacts coming to Bella's I pressed the green button.
It rang a few times before she answered.
We talked for a few minutes. I could tell something was wrong with Bella but she would not tell me.
She said that she was fine but I could tell that she wasn't by her voice. It was way off. That was really bothering me. I wish she would just tell me.
Maybe if she would talk to me I could help with whatever was wrong. I guess in due time she would tell me what was bothering her.
Once we got off the phone I went to bed.
I woke up before my alarm clock the next morning. I wasn't sure why I woke up.
Going to start a pot of coffee before I got dressed. Once that was done I went back to my room and got ready for work.
Walking back into the kitchen I fixed myself a cup of coffee and sat at my table and dialed Bella's number. I knew it would be really early there, but she said to call her anytime.
I wanted to check in on her before I went to a hectic day of work. I wanted to make sure she was ok. I mean last night she seemed really off. I wanted to know what was bothering her.
I knew that she would talk to me when she was ready.
I dialed her number and it rang several times and then went to voicemail.
I hung up guessing that she was getting ready for work. I would try her later on.
I jumped into my car and headed to work.
I was gone for a couple of days so there was no telling what would be on my desk when I got there.
I pulled up to the garage of my office building and went my way to my office.
Walking out of the elevator I was greeted my secretary.
"Morning Mr. Cullen. I have some messages for you and there is a stack of papers on your desk."
"Morning Ms. Cope. Thank you. Anything of importance on my desk?"
"I'm not sure . How was your little vacation?"
"It was great. Thanks for asking. Please hold my calls until I let you know other wise."
She nodded her head and I walked to my office.
Sitting down at my desk I turned my computer on letting it load. As I waited for the computer I glanced down at the stack of paperwork on my desk.
A memo caught my eyes. There was a memo from the President of the company with my name on it.
Picking it up I read over what it said. The President of the company wanted me to take over the office in L.A.
That office was not to far from where she lived. As I was reading on further. I noticed that it said that he needed an answer by Friday.
Could I pick up and leave here? I mean I would be closer to Bella and I would not have to travel to see her. She would be really close to me.
It also said that I would have to be moved there within two months if I took the job for the L.A. office.
The awesome side to moving to LA would be that I would be closer to Bella. I really don't have anything holding me here.
I could either talk it over with Bella or I could surprise when I figure out what I was going to do.
I really wanted to take the job. Maybe I could get a house there and move to L.A. and then surprise her with the news once I had settled.
Yeah that's what I would do. Now I just had to figure out if that's what I really wanted to do.
I worked all day on my stuff on my desk and even read through my email and responded to them. By the time that was all finished it was time for me to leave for the day.
I said goodbye to Ms. Cope and made my way to my car.
I got into my car and placed my phone into the holder. I used my voice command to have it dial Bella's number.
I hope that she would pick up this time.
It rang a few times and finally she answered with a faint, "Hello."
"Hi beautiful. How are you feeling?"
"Um I'm ok I guess. It's been a long day. I'm just glad it's over."
"Yeah I had a long day as well. I just wanted to make sure you are okay. I missed you this morning."
"Yea I was in the shower when you called. I have been busy since I walked into the office. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to call you back."
"It's okay we are talking now. I wanted to make sure that you are feeling better. I know that you were under the weather when I left yesterday."
"I'm feeling a little better but I think I'm coming down with a virus or something. I hope that I didn't get you sick while you were here."
Yeah I'm pretty sure I would be okay. I'm not one for getting sick to often.
"Beautiful I think I will be fine. I don't usually get sick to much. Don't worry about me. I just wish I didn't have to leave you when you don't feel good. I want to be able to take care of you."
I really wish I was there taking care of her. I would rather be taking care of her then her to be there by herself with no one taking care of her.
"Yea that would be nice but you have to work Edward so it's ok. I will be fine in a few days. I'm just really tired. I think I'm going to head to bed early tonight."
"Okay. Rest will be the best thing for you. Get yourself something light to eat and get in bed. Don't hesitate to call me if you want to talk or you can't sleep. I will talk to you tomorrow beautiful. Nite."
I was almost home when I was finishing up my call with Bella.
"Ok handsome I will call if I need to talk or I can't sleep. I think as tired as I am I won't have any trouble sleeping. I will be waiting for your call. Goodnight Edward."
The line went dead and I turned off my engine and went inside.
I made myself something to eat and then got ready for bed. I set my alarm and went to bed.
