Chapter 16

Elizabeth's POV

Today had been a trying day. With ups and down of the past 24 hours. I climbed into bed ready to fall over dead. Jacob climbed in next to me and wrapped his arms around me. "Penny for your thoughts, Baby?" He asked.

"It's just Bella. Could she really be my mother? She remembered the song dad wrote for her and just before he stopped she bumped him and could see him standing in a tux in front of a group of people." I couldn't get the image out of my head I had seen pictures of my parents wedding and it's exactly how this looked. I knew dad saw if too that's why he had sent her home.

"Sweet heart, don't worry about it so much if it is her we'll know it soon enough." He kissed my forehead and drifted off to sleep. The sound of his snoring was soothing to me it started to lull me off into a dreamy sleep. That night I dreamed I was standing next to my mother and she was telling me how much she was sorry she missed everything. I woke in the morning feeling sick. I never got sick but I had been stressed out over all this. I would have to remember to ask Carlisle about this.

Even before I hit the kitchen I could smell Esme cooking eggs and sausage. I walked into the kitchen taking a big whiff of the delicious smell and suddenly I was overcome with nausea. I barely made it to the trash can before tossing my cookies all in it. Esme had Leah take over and lead me up to Carlisle's office. "Come in."

He yelled after we knocked. "Elizabeth just threw up. She walked into the kitchen smelled the food and tossed her cookies all in the trash can. Would you look at her? I know they have never been sick before but I worry about what we don't know about them." Esme told Carlisle I was sitting on the little couch with my head between my legs trying not to throw up all over his carpet.

Just then a crash came from down in the kitchen area. I could hear Leah shouting at Emmett. Esme must have heard it to cause she quickly ran out of the room yelling she was going to kill someone. I was lucky that dad and Jacob were out hunting with uncle jasper and EJ. If either one of them had been hear I probably would have had them up here right now and I didn't feel like dealing with their worry.

"So let's take a look at you missy." He said as he walked towards me with his black med bag. He told my blood pressure and my temperature before shining his little flash light in my eyes. "Have you been getting enough blood, sweetie?"

"Actually come to think of it I've been actually drinking a lot more than normal." I told him as he started listening to my heart. EJ and I were used to Carlisle doing this. He insisted on doing this through most of our lives. I knew that he was afraid that he would miss something and he would lose us like he lost my mom. He was worried his thoughts had told me this much. he thought something about this seemed familiar but couldn't put his finger on what it was exactly.

"Grandpa, I know you will figure this out don't worry so much. It's causing you to go grey." I smiled at him trying to relax him. "And just between me and you no one blames you for not being here when mom died. There was nothing anyone could do." He smiled at me.

"You are so much like your mother. Always looking on the bright side of things never worried about herself only those around her." But his face quickly changed almost as if he had figured out a huge riddle. He went to the closet and pulled out this huge machine.

"would you lie down for me I think I have figured it out." I tried to read his thoughts but after being around my father for so long Carlisle had learned to hide them very well. I laid down on my back. he slowly lifted my shirt up and squirted some weird gel on my stomach. He clicked the machine on and moved this wand like think over my stomach.

"Just as I thought." He muttered to himself. He turned the screen towards me.

"That is a baby." He said pointing to this little spot on the screen.

"What" I said but when it came out it seemed more like a yell. "I thought I couldn't get pregnant?" I really was freaking out what if he was wrong. How would Jacob take the news? The room started spinning so I laid my head down on the pillow. my head was swimming with all the questions.

"Elizabeth even with humans it sometimes takes a while for people to get pregnant." I sat up this time the room didn't spin.

"Yeah but a hundred years is a little more than a while Carlisle." He shrugged his shoulders

"yeah and vampires are dead and should be able to have children but your brother and you are here as proof." I sighed he was right. In this family even the impossible seemed possible.

"Could you do me a huge favor and keep this between just us for right now. At least until I'm a little further along." He nodded

"but I'll need to monitor you, and well have to think of something to tell the others on why you threw up." He started writing things down in a little notebook he took out of his desk. The thing looked so old I thought for sure the pages would fall out. He asked me to step up on a scale for him. I peeked over at the book he was currently writing my weight down in. I think he noticed my curiosity because he said.

"You wonder about your weight or the book?" It was uncanny how he seemed to read me like a open book sometimes but at others looked at me like I was a mystery.

"The book how old is that thing? It looks like it's about to fall apart." He held up the front for me to see. BELLA'S PREGANCY was all it said.

"I thought it would be fitting to keep my notes in here so I can look to see if there are any similarities." I stepped down off the scale. He told me I could go and that if anyone asked to say that I just ate something bad.

"Thanks again grandpa." I said as I walked out of his office. 'Wow' I thought to myself 'I can't believe I'm pregnant.'
