Chapter 8 - News
I woke up, and Jake was staring at me. He looked really worried. Before he could say anything, a doctor came into the room. Not just any doctor either. This was Dr. Carlisle Cullen.
I looked at him, and he said, " Hello, Bella. Well, as you know you're pregnant. We found out that werewolf children often grow faster than human children." I look at him and ask, irritated, " Which means?"
He took a deep breath and answered, " Which means you're around the three month stage. You could probably tell the gender now. Also, you'll most likely have the child in a month or so. The first growth spurt is the largest. I suspect around a month." I nodded my head solemnly. I wished I'd had more time to get used to the idea.
I took a deep breath and answered, " What are we going to do about the doctors? They think I'm only a month and a half in." Carlisle nodded and said, " I'm going to stay. I think the others will also."
I gasped, realizing what this would do to Jake. " Carlisle, it'd be against the treaty for Jake to come to the hospital since it's in Forks. That means…" Carlisle cut me off and said, " We'll make an exception this time." I gulped, and asked, " What about Edward and Emmett. They'd likely lose control."
Carlisle nodded and answered, " They'll behave. Trust me." I nodded and asked shyly, " Do they know?" Carlisle shook his head. " Not that I know of. Edward could possibly know, but he hasn't said anything since we've been testing you. He's really worried."
I nodded and said, " He'll eventually find out." Carlisle nodded and said, " Well, I'll let you two chat for a while." He left the room, and I turned to face Jake. The first thing he does is lean in and kisses me, and I mean really kiss me.
Then, he leaned back and said quickly, " I'm so sorry Bella. I shouldn't have fought with him." I shook my head and answered, " I don't think it would have been possible for you to not fight."
He laughed, nervous. Then, I heard a voice come from the hall. Oh my gosh! Is Bella ok? When can I see her? Will Jake let me see her? Alice. I looked at Jake and asked, " Alice is really worried, and she's not Edward. Can you make an exception? I need to talk girl stuff with her."
He narrowed his eyes, but walked out of the room. Alice quickly ran in after he left. " Oh Bella! Are you ok? I've missed you so much!" She ran up to me and hugged me, but was careful of the IV.
" Bella, can I ask why you doubled over?" I gaped at her for a few moments, then asked, " You didn't see a vision about it?" She shook her head, so I told her. " Now, you can't tell anyone else, and please try to block your mind from Edward. Alice…I'm pregnant. With Jacob's child."
She gasped and asked, " When?" I answered, " A few months. Apparently, the baby will develop faster, so I'll only have to go through a month more." She hugged me tightly, and said, " Your secret's safe with me." She leaned back and said, " Bella, he will find out eventually though."
I nodded and answered, " But we can probably postpone it for a while." I heard a knock on the door, then Jacob came in. He kept his distance from Alice, but did not make an obvious distaste of her. " Carlisle wanted me to ask you if you'd like to know the sex." I smiled and answered, " Of course." Alice stood and walked to the door. She asked, " Will you tell me after the tests?" I nodded my head, and soon the test was being done.
While the tests were being done, something unnerving was said. Carlisle stated calmly, " Well, Bella. It looks like you're not having only one child, but three."
Review pleez!
