Chapter 9

Messed up

Telling my mom that I was pregnant had gone pretty much like I had thought. The gut wrenching disappointment on her face, the way she couldn't even seem to talk to me much less look at me. I had slept a restless sleep half expecting my dad to come in and kick me out on the spot after my mother told him.

But no one came to my room, everything stayed eerie quiet through the night except for the hushed sounds of my crying.

When the light of day began to show threw the curtains over my window I realized that I hadn't slept at all. I lay there for hours more not wanting to pop the bubble I was living in at the moment. Where I was able to pretend that my life wasn't about to come crashing down around me. That when I walked out of my room into the kitchen my mom would be there cooking breakfast like any other morning. I'd find my dad at the table with a cup of coffee reading the morning paper. He would click his tongue at the things he didn't like and pretend that he didn't read the funnies every day.

I opened my door slowly praying that it wouldn't squeak for once. Keeping my arms wrap securely around myself I walked slowly down the hallway. I breathed in heavenly before I turned the corner to the kitchen.

I wanted to start crying at the sight.

My mother was at the stove cooking breakfast and my father was reading the paper with a cup of coffee.

"Mom?" I whispered.

"O hey honey it's about time you got up. I wasn't sure if you would want pancakes or waffles so I made both." she said smiling at me as if it was just any old day.

"I…I…" I stammered.

"Hey kiddo." my dad said looking up from his paper.

I knew then by the way he looked at me that she had never told him. By the way she was acting I was sure she was just going to pretend as if it had all been a bad dream.

"Hi dad."

"What ya got planned for today?" he asked.

"I…nothing…. Nothing at all." I said looking over to where my mother stood at the stove with her back to me.

Why hadn't she told him?

"O well good I was thinking we could go out to the batting cages after I got off of work today and maybe hit a few balls."

"Umm sure dad… that sounds cool."

"Great I'm looking forward to it." he started reading his paper again with a faint smile on his lips.

He really was looking forward to it. He had no idea I was pregnant. I suddenly felt very angry at the situation. Here was my father a good hard working man and I was lying to him, his own daughter. Then even on top of that his wife who loved him was standing there listening to all of this and not saying a word. What did she think it would be better for him to just not know until he realized 'Wow Bellas getting kind of pudgy around the middle'.

"Dad theirs something I need to tell you." I said not looking up from the floor as I sat down next to him.

"O Bella honey here's your pancakes, hurry and eat then while they are hot." my mother said quickly laying a plate in front of me and blocking my view of Charlie. She gave me a pleading look and looked quickly to my stomach.

"What's that Bella?" Charlie asked.

"Um nothing." I said staring at my mother completely confused.

"Alright girls I best be heading off to work." Charlie said getting up and patting me on the head then kissing my mother goodbye before heading out of the door.

I stood abruptly from the table pushing my chair aside as I started for my room.

"Bella wait." I heard my mom call from the kitchen.

Renee caught up to me and I couldn't even look at her.

"Why are we lying to him?" I asked her.

"It's for the best right now." she said pleadingly.

"Why?"

"He is under a lot of stress right now Bella, we haven't had a chance to talk to you about it..."

"About what, what kind of stress?"

"He's had a lot of problem with his blood pressure and celestial, the doctors are worried that if he doesn't control it then he might become prone to a heart attack."

"A heart attack." I whispered to myself. Charlie had always seemed completely invincible to me through out my life. He hadn't even started to gray yet really.

"Yes so just give me some time to think of a way of telling him ok?"

"Ok but please mom just don't keep me in the dark with dads health stuff anymore."

"I promise."

So that's how I ended up in the batting cages with my dad for the next week straight. I agreed to what ever he wanted to do with out even a moment of thought towards if I wanted to or not. It did sadden me when he asked because of how he almost seemed sure that I was going to say no.

I was glad when he encouraged me to invite Alice to come along with us to the movies. I hadn't really seen her in days even though she called me every night to check on me. It would be nice to do something some what normal with her.

Even if my dad was going to be there and we couldn't talk freely.

I hurried out of the car to the theater as soon as my dad stopped the car in front of it.

"Go find Alice I'll go get a parking space Bells." Charlie said as I shut the door.

I wasn't even up the first few stairs when I heard Alice before I saw her.

"Bella! Bella over here!" she yelled waving her hands franticly. She was standing behind a guy with a baseball cap and I felt bad for him as she pushed him out of her way to get to me.

She reached me faster than I ever thought possible and I didn't have time to brace myself.

"How are you? Jasper said you told your mom! Are you ok? What did they say? It must be ok if your dad is here with you!" she rambled.

"Alice, Alice take a breath please." I laughed. "My dad doesn't know yet so please don't say anything ok.'

"Wait why doesn't he know?"

"Health stuff I'll explain later, just please don't say anything."

"Yeah I promise."

"Good, so who's the guy in the hat you were talking too?"

"Oh, that's well…Edward."

"Edward!" I almost screeched. "What is Edward doing here?"

"Well he is actually here with me."

"WHAT!"

"Whoa wait not like that." she said holding her hands up. "We have kind of… well become friends."

"Friends? You and Edward? I thought you hated him."

"No not at all. I just didn't like how he seemed to make you always become off track and a little flighty."

"Your calling me flighty?" I asked raise my eyebrow.

"Yes, well you were. Now you finally have gotten your head on straight, Edward agrees."

"Edward agrees with you? Exactly how much have you guys been talking?"

"A lot actually. He somehow got my number and called me when you hadn't answered any of his calls. It was so adorable Bella, he was so worried and pleaded with me to at least let him know if you were ok."

"If he was so worried about me why is he still standing over there by himself."

"Well we weren't to sure if you would be to pleased with us becoming friends and him showing up here with out you knowing. Plus ya know your dad being here and all."

"So what is he waiting for a signal or something?"

"Not really." she said smiling. "HEY EDWARD SHE ISN'T GOING TO KILL YOU!" Alice yelled over to him receiving a few strange looks from the people waiting in line to buy tickets.

Edward walked over with a sheepish look.

"Hey Bella hadn't seen you in a while." Edward said rubbing the back of his neck.

"Hey Edward you either. It's nice to know that you made new friends and weren't out mopping around missing me."

"Well I wouldn't go that far, but yeah a few new friends."

"And missing me?" I smiled.

"Very very much." he said leaning a little closer.

A cough from behind us made us both jumping a little apart.

"Isabella who is your friend?" Charlie asked staring Edward down.

"Oh this is…"

"Hey Mr. Swan how are you? This is my friend Eddie." Alice said jumping in and saving my tail.

I was sure that Charlie knew who Edward was, but I guess with out his recognizable bronze hair showing he hadn't realized who it was.

"You coming to the movie with us Eddie?" Charlie asked.

"Yes sir if that would be ok."

"Can't say I'm not glad I was a little worried they would force me into going to see a chick flick. Now the numbers are evened out a little. I don't think I could stand sitting through one of those horrible vampire movies." I think it was the most I had ever heard Charlie say.

So here I sat in a movie theater with my father on one side of me and Edward on the other. As soon as the lights started to go down only one thought crossed my mind.

God had a very mean messed up since of humor sometimes.
