Staged

Chapter 3- Gone

BPOV:

(8 Weeks later)

Jasper and I have been calling none stop and I can't take it anymore. I miss him, waaay too much. Alice and I were at work and I was going to research a missing file to a dress. I was opening a file when my stomach turned. I felt the need to puke, than it got stronger. I stood up and ran bumping into Alice.

"Bella?" She yelled as I kept running. I could hear her coming after me. I ran into the bathroom, to a toilet, puking my guts up.

I breathed heavily, as I heard Alice's frantic voice flow through the room.

"Alice." I heaved. She opened the stall door and held my hair back.

"Are you okay?" She asked soft yet frantic still. I shrugged.

"What did you eat?" She asked. I shook my head. "Nothing," I puked again.

"Well…are you pregnant?" She asked warily. My tummy gave a flutter and my hands went to it. I gasped and stood up. I shook my head.

"No no. I can't be! I hadn't had sex since Jasper left eight weeks ago-" Stopping, and ran for the toilet, puking again, realizing.

"Bella? How did you do?" Alice asked standing outside the bathroom. I shook my head yet again as we got another positive.

"Alice…I haven't had one negative." I sighed.

"Well…" She said hopeful, "You only took…fifteen." She failed.

I glared at her. It was true. I was pregnant, with Jaspers baby. Great.

"Alice, I'm not even married! How could this happen?" I yelled,

"Did you use protection?" She scolded. I sighed, "Nope." She sighed too.

"Well…why don't we tell him eh?" She rubbed my shoulders, trying to cheer me up. Having baby when the father is across the planet isn't a good thing Alice…

"Okay, go get me the phone." I said and she got up and walked into my room.

He picked up on the first ring.

"Bella," He breathed. I sighed at the sound of his voice.

"Hey. I'm not disturbing anything am I…?" I asked wearily.

"Oh, naw. Were just eating diner, back at base. What's up baby?" He asked sweetly.

"Well…I have some important news to tell you…" I said weakly.

He was suddenly urgent, "Bella, 'darlin, what's wrong?"

I was aware I was crying, when Alice whipped at my tears and egged me on.

"Well…I'm uh…Pregnant. With your child." I said and held my breath at the end; waiting his answer.

"Ohmigod!" He said, excitedly, and I could hear him smile. I smiled back,

"Are you serious?" He asked

"Do fifteen positives sound serious to you?" I asked laughing. He laughed.

"Wow. I'm gunna be father…"

"Just…come back to meet him," I said tearing up again.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world Bella." He said promising. I nodded.

"I love you," I cried, "I love you too Bella. And my child." He said, softly.

I heard the dial tone, and I hung up. Alice looked at me excitedly.

"Your gunna have a baby Bella!" She said and we jump hugged.

"We have to go shopping tomorrow!" She screamed excitedly. I nodded smiling. I was excited. And hopefully my life stayed secure for Jasper when he gets home. I couldn't wait.

(The next week.)

Alice promised to take me baby shopping when I was nine weeks pregnant. This girl is physco. We walked into "Baby's R Us" and Alice charged to the crib section, I had to jog just to keep up with her.

I passed a beautiful brown one with yellow converters. I just wish I knew the sex, but Jasper said it would be more special to wait. Darn him. Besides it was way too early.

"Oooh! Bella!" She called me, and I walked over to the dark wood finished crib she was leaning over. I smiled and looked more closely. It had a green bedding, with butterfly's and flowers placed in its décor. I loved it.

"How much?" I asked awe-struck. She shook her tiny head.

"Nope! I'm getting it for you!" She smiled and I just smiled annoyed; but she knew it was a THANK GOD!

We smiled and looked at Car seats whilst the cashier went gaga over Alice's money. She was a little over rich.

"Alice!" I called, and she ran over to me. I showed her the cutest outfit in the world. She shrieked than offered to buy it. I refused, and bought it myself. It was a girls, but it didn't matter.

We left the store by five and Alice dropped me off, promising to get her dad to assemble the crib tomorrow, for me, and we could decorate and paint the baby's nursery. I sighed and walked through my kitchen, when I heard shuffling in my house, down the hall ways. I grabbed a knife and tiptoed to the creaking sound.

Around the corner came Edward. His hands in his pockets, smiling ever so causally. I gasped, as he scared the living shit outta me.

"What the hell?" I yelled putting the knife down, he raised his hands in surrender. I laughed.

"Edward…What the hell- how did you get in here?" I asked, he shrugged.

"I still have a key Bells." He smiled that heart-breaking crooked smile.

Kill me.

"I wanted to talk to you," He said more softly pulling me to him. I wanted so badly to give in. But I reminded myself of Jasper.

"About?" I asked, not being able to pull away, "Us," He whispered seductively. I just gasped as his hot mouth pressed into mine, and I gave in. His tongue ran over my bottom lip requesting entry. I didn't allow it, he went on threw.

Our tongues glided together, and I remembered what happened five years ago. His hand slowly went up my shirt, not breaking the kiss and my stomach gave a flutter, reminding me this was wrong. My baby was telling me he didn't want Edward. He wanted his father. I pulled away abruptly.

Shaking my head, "This is wrong Edward." I stated. He shook his head no, "But I love you," He said coming to kiss me again, with a strong hold, that I wasn't able to pull away. He jumped back as my baby gave a little kick. He gasped and stared at my stomach. Looking at me, he asked, "Are you-"He started, but didn't finish. I nodded.

"Jaspers." He stated. I nodded. "I still want to talk." He asked. I nodded again.

We walked over to the couch and sat. I sat Indian style on the couch with my hand resting on my small stomach.

"How uhm…far along are you?" He asked. "Nine weeks." I stated initially. He nodded.

"That could have been us Bells…It still can be…" He said, looking at my non-showing stomach. I laughed, "Edward…You walked out on me! It could have never happened!" I stared at his slightly hurt expression.

"I don't want you back. I have Jasper. And I have his child. You had your chance, but you walked out on me at the "I do's." It's too late Edward. Five years too late." I realized my hand glided to his knee, trying for him to understand. He nodded.

"I still love you though…And I'm not giving up." He said standing up and leaving. I sighed, and went to bed after a long day. But not before locking my door.
