Why Alice? Why?

Chapter 1

Charlie Point of View

I was sitting on at my desk when Alice called. After we hung up, I ran my hand through my hair. I couldn't own up to that baby. I would go to jail if I "claimed" it. This would rip me apart. I wouldn't be able to hold my baby. Bella would hate both of us if she found out we were together. Plus, her parents wouldn't really like this. No; they would want to literally rip my manhood off my body then throw me in jail. To tell the truth, I was extremely frightened by her brothers. What was I supposed to do? She's the same age as my daughter; it's sick because it's only a little different than having sex with my own daughter. I'm scared. I'm really scared, for the young love of my life, and for myself.

Alice Point of View

I woke up and looked at the clock; I had been asleep for four and a half hours. I knew I would have to tell my dad soon so I could get the medicine for the baby. But, I was scared what would he do to me; he believed in waiting for marriage, and if you didn't wait for marriage, he approved of using a condom. And, he really didn't believe in having sex with your best friend's dad, who also happens to be the police chief. I stood and walked to my door and out into the hall. I walked downstairs to the second floor, where my dad's office was. I walked over to his door gingerly. I knocked on his door and got a muffled "Come in."

I opened his door and walked over to his desk, sitting in front of it. I sat with my head in my hands, hunched over with my dad's eyes staring at me worriedly. "What is it Alice? Worried about your credit card bill again?" My dad asked with a smile.

I shook my head in my hands. I heard him lean forward in his chair, "Then what is it Alice?" he asked.

I looked up at my father; he was only three years older than Charlie, his face lined with worry lines and laugh lines. I lowered my face back in to my hands and murmured, "I did something stupid, but that's not an excuse. I did it for love, but I should have waited and now..." I sighed, starting to cry. "I'm pregnant." I said. I looked up to see a red-faced father, who seemed mad, sad, and maybe a little happy, probably because this would be his first grandchild.

"Alice! I would see this coming from Emmett but you?" He said and stood. "With whom?" he asked as he walked to the door.

"I don't want to say." I said as I stood.

"You will tell me sooner or later. Come with me to the other office." I nodded and walked with him to the attic where he had all his medical machines. I walked over to the gurney and sat on it. He pulled a machine over, which I guess was the one to see the baby. He pushed up my shirt while muttering about how he imagining me being older when he did this. He rubbed the blue goo on my stomach, causing me to wiggle underneath him because it was so cold. He turned it on, and I heard the heart beat. It thumped loudly from the machine, tears came to my eyes as I heard it; I saw its head. My baby was sucking its thumb.

"Aw!" I squealed. "That's a baby, my baby. Daddy, that's your first grandbaby." I said, reaching for his hand.

He looked down at me, tears in his eyes also, "I know; I can't help but be happy, even through I'm extremely mad and disappointed in you also." He said. I heard the door open and saw mom and Emmett standing there. Their eyes were glued to the baby on the screen.

"I'll kill him! Who the fuck touched you Alice? Who took your innocence?!" He yelled while asking.

"I'm still innocent! I think." I said. Was I still innocent? I thought of myself as innocent; just because I wasn't a virgin anymore didn't mean anything.

"Oh, Alice," Mom said, walking over to gather me in her arms. I sobbed into her shoulder; I was only seventeen and taking a really big step in my life.

Could I really do this? Was I really ready? Would I be able to take care of this baby, or would my parents raise it because I couldn't?

But the biggest thing going through my head was would Charlie want the baby?

"Mommy I'm scared." I whispered.

"I know. I would be too." She said, rocking me back and forth on the cot.

Dad was rummaging through his shelves of medicines that he kept locked up. He pulled three bottles out and handed them to me. "These will be the prenatals that you will take." He said. "I will give you a check up every month, okay?" he asked, and I nodded. "Okay then, go take one of each pill now while I try to find one of the pills that will help with morning sickness." I nodded and stood, walking down stairs to sit on the counter, swishing the water in the cup, thinking about nothing and everything all at once.

Carlisle Point of View

My heart broke when she said she was pregnant. She was my baby; it's not that I didn't love her more than Rose or the boys; it was just that she is more of a daddy's girl than any of them. I was glad that she came to me in the first place, though. After she left to take the pills I had given her, I completely lost it and picked up the cot her and Esme had sat on not too long ago and threw it across the room, sinking to the floor. Esme sat next to me, grasping my hand and holding it in our laps.

"Are we ready for this?" I asked her.

"I think so. But the real question is, is Alice ready for this?" she replied.

"She has always been strong for others and herself. But, I don't really know if she can." I said; I didn't doubt that my little girl couldn't deal with a teen pregnancy, but I wasn't sure if she would be able to deal with the heart break, which was a high possibility that would come with the pregnancy. The father would probably run for the hills, but I was yet to know who it was. "You know the whole heart break when she breaks the news to whoever it is, will he leave her? If he does, will she be able to deal with it?" I asked Esme.

"Even though out little girl is so small, I know she is strong to carry the world on her shoulders. She would be able to deal with anything, but with how much pain it would cause it, I don't know. She's strong, but everyone has breaking points." Esme said as she hugged me. I pulled her to my chest and kissed the top of her head.

"Okay grandma, I have to find those pills." I said, getting a swat from her because I implied the old factor.

"Hey, don't forget you're a grandpa too now." She said as she walked to the door.

As I watched her walk away, I remembered how hard it had been on her when she wouldn't get pregnant and the many failed pregnancies. We had been so overjoyed when Edward was born, and yes, it broke our hearts when he came out of the closet at the age of fourteen when he fell in love with Jacob. But, we loved him nonetheless, and we had already had Jasper and Rose, then we found Emmett and Alice, and couldn't say no to them. They really needed a loving pair of parents, and they had never known that until they came to our family.

I ran over to my wife, pulling her into a tight embrace, almost like I would never hold her again; I kissed her full on the lips, telling her how much I loved her through that. I held her through another tight hug, not wanting her to leave me up here to look for the pills, but I knew that I needed to. "I love you Esme. Always have and forever will." I whispered.

"I love you too Carlisle." She giggled, stepping on her tip toes to kiss me before going down the stairs, leaving me to my business.

I walked over to the over turned hospital cot, turning it right, and went back on my wild goose chase for those damned pills.

Bella Point of View

I walked into my home away from home, to find a very alone Alice sitting in the kitchen, her face blank and thoughtful. "Alice, anyone in here?" I asked, standing there in front of her. She finally came back to me and jumped as soon as she saw me standing there.

"Hey, Bella." She said and reached up, throwing three pills in her mouth and swallowing them one by one. I picked up one bottle before she could put it away and read the label.

"Prenatal?" I asked. "You're pregnant?" I was shocked; she seemed so virginal. I would have thought she would have told me she was pregnant.

"Yea, I found out this morning." She said quietly.

She was hiding something. "Who's the dad?" I asked.

"Um, you want to be the god mom?" She asked.

"Sure, but tell me who the dad is, Alice." I said.

"Can I get back to you about that later?" She squeaked.

"I guess. Is Jasper here?" I asked.

"He's in his room." She said.

"Okay, love you, Ally." I said as I hugged her and kissed her cheek. "I'll talk to you before I leave, okay?"

"Yea," she whispered.

What was wrong with Alice, other than being pregnant? She seemed very distant with me. Maybe she'll get better soon. I really hope so; she is my best friend after all. No matter what happens, she always will be my best friend, too. That's what best friends were for; I would always be there for her, for anything. Right?

Read and review! Please. I worked very hard on this!
