Hows that for speed? Two chapters in one night! I won't usually be THAT fast, but I'm going away for a week, so I wanted to update tonight before I left. I MIGHT be able to post one more chapter tomorrow, but I can't promise. Anyway, after this chapter time will start moving faster. My goal is to cover the entire nine months, and then the following few weeks, and at this rate that'll take forever. I'm going to stop talking now, but dont forget to review!

Week 7 of the Pregnancy

"Now, why are you here?" Laura asked.

Carlisle and Esme both looked at me. "They want to take my baby." I stated, rather bluntly.

"No we don't! Bella!" Esme jumped up. She turned to look at Laura, "We don't want to take her baby, we're not like that."

"Your baby?" Laura looked confused.

"I'm pregnant." I told her, putting my hand on my still flat stomach. "Seven weeks."

"And how old are you?"

"Fifteen. I'm in the ninth grade."

Laura nodded her head, writing something down in her notebook. "How long have you been living with Carlisle and Esme?"

"Five weeks."

"Your adjusting well?"

"Yeah. Its better then a foster home."

"And things are going well for you guys?" Laura looked at Carlisle and Esme.

"Yes, everything was going very good. Bella is such a sweetie. I don't know where this attitude came from, she was all for meeting with you yesterday, and then all of a sudden today...I don't know."

"Bella?" Laura turned to look at me.

"I don't know." I folded my hands in my lap. "It's too much. I want this baby more then anything, I don't even care if its his baby. I want it. But they," I nodded towards Carlisle and Esme, "Don't think I'm ready."

"Who's 'him'?" Laura asked, writing quickly.

I was silent. Carlisle and Esme were silent. I didn't want to talk about Kyle. He was not the reason I'm here.

"Bella?" Laura stopped writing and looked up at me. "Who's 'he'?"

"Bella," Esme looked at me. "Tell her."

"Its over. Like you said this morning. I don't want to talk about it."

"Talk about what?" Laura prodded.

"Bella." Carlisle and Esme said at the same time, "I know its difficult, but--"

"But nothing. I don't want to be here. Can we please go?"

"No." Esme said.

"Please," I begged.

"How about you and I talk alone Bella. Esme, Carlisle, do you mind waiting in the waiting room?"

"Of course not." They stood up and left the room.

The room was silent and I could tell Laura was waiting for me to say something. I wasn't going to though, Kyle isn't the reason we were here.

"What happened Bella? What did he do to you?"

"Nothing. He did nothing to me." I picked at my fingernail.

"Bella, I know thats a lie. I can't help you if you don't tell me what happened."

"I don't want your help. Nothing happened. Nobody did anything." I tried to sound convincing but the tears that were flowing down my cheek probably gave me away.

"If nothing happened you wouldn't be crying. I want to help you Bella. I'm on your side, I don't blame you, I won't be angry at you."

"I don't know what to say. I don't know where to start."

"It always helps to start at the beginning."

"Its my fault. All my fault." I began to cry harder, and Laura came and sat next to me.

"Tell me about it."

"You wouldn't get it. You don't know what its like to be moved from foster home to foster home. Nobody really cares about you. I was living with Karen and James. I was thirteen, just finishing the seventh grade. They had another foster kid living with them, Miranda, who was sixteen. She and I talked a lot, and when I told her how I felt about no one wanting me or loving me, she told me about boys. She said it was really easy to get a guy to say that he loves. You only had to do one thing.

"Miranda left that August. I felt so...alone. I know that happens, people you love have to leave, but this was the first time I had actually gotten close to one of my foster siblings. I guess I was just looking for someone to fill her spot. I met this guy at the park, Justin. We hung out and stuff, and ended up going to the same school. I thought I loved him, so we...you know. The next month I was moved, and the same thing happened. I was in four homes that year, and I ended up having sex a lot.

"But then I moved to Arizona. I met a guy that I really liked. I guess he told his friends that I was easy. I went to a party and this guy Kyle, he..."

I couldn't keep going. I was crying too hard. I never told anyone about this before.

"Its ok Bella, you're doing really well."

"He...he..." I took a deep breath. "I spend most of the night with my friend Amanda. Everyone was drinking, but I had a drivers ed class in the morning so I didn't want to be hungover. Anyway, I went to the bathroom, and on my way out I ran into this guy from my english class....

"Hi," He smiled at me, his perfect teeth practically shining. "Bella, right?"

"Yeah." I smiled back at him. "Your Kyle, we have english together."

"Of course, you sit in the front near Amanda and Amy. How could I forget such a beautiful girl like you."

"Thanks." I said, as I felt my face turning beet red.

"Can I get you a drink?" He asked. He was very polite, and seemed super sweet.

"No, I'm good." I kept blushing. I tried to make it stop but I couldn't.

"You're really cute when your embarrassed." He laughed.

"Thanks, I think." I giggled. "Well, I have to go, but it was nice seeing you."

"Don't go yet. How about you come with me, I can show you my room." He smiled widely, and grabbed my hand.

I tried to pull away but his grip was too strong. "No thanks."

"No really, come on." He tugged me down the hall and into a dark blue bedroom with football posters all over the wall.

"Kyle!" I cried, "Let go of me!" I tried to scream but the music was so loud I doubt anyone could hear me. "Kyle!"

"Shhh!" He placed his hand gently over my mouth, then led me to the bed. I tried to fight him off, but he was close to double my size.

"Please..." I begged, but it was no use. He pushed me back onto the bed, and as he got closer to me I could smell the alcohol on him.

I kicked and screamed as he unbuttoned my shirt and lifted up my skirt.

"Kyle...please..." I cried. He didn't listen though, and all I could do was lay there and cry. No one could hear my screams, and Kyle didn't seem to care about me. To him I was just some girl who has sex with anyone, whether she wants to or not.

I sat on the couch crying as Laura rubbed my back. "You are doing a good job Bella. You're safe now, no one is going to hurt you now, You're safe."

I took a deep breath and tried to stop crying. "I'm sorry." I sniffed.

"Don't apologize Bella, you've been through a lot. Your life has been a lot tougher then the lives of most girls your age."

"I didn't have to be, things could have been better."

"How?" She asked, looked me in the eyes.

"I don't know. Maybe if I had been a more appealing baby, or a quieter toddler. I don't know. There must be a reason why nobody wanted me." I felt a new wave of tears about to hit. I've never opened up like this before.

"Thats not true Bella." Laura told me.

"Except it is true. I lived at MacEather Hall, a place for babies and young children to stay while they wait to be adopted. If they aren't adopted by the time they are six, they are sent to Western Home for Children, and then placed in a foster home. There must be a reason why I was adopted out of MacEather when I was a baby, right? No one wanted me."

"The right family just didn't come along. It takes time to find the perfect family." I knew she was probably telling the truth, but it didn't make me feel any better.

"Bella," Laura lowered her voice, "When you were in your foster homes, did anyone ever hurt you?"

I stiffened. Talking about Kyle was one thing, but I was not ready to relive all of the other horrible events.

"I thought we were here about my baby." I looked at her, my eyes begging her to change the subject.

"Bella--"

"I don't want to talk about it. I think I've relived enough emotional trauma for today. I want to talk about the baby."

"That fair enough Bella, but can we talk about it next time?"

"Laura, the baby."

"Let me get your parents." She stood up and left the room. While she was gone I quickly fixed my eyes, hoping I could disguise the fact that I just spent the last half an hour crying.

Laura returned with Carlisle and Esme behind her. They sat on either side of me and Laura returned to her chair.

"Ok, so the baby." Laura began. "Have you seen a doctor Bella?"

"Yes I have. Shes the one who made me come here today."

"And did she tell you about your options?" Laura was flipping trough her notebook again.

"Can you please stop saying that. I don't have any fucking options, I am keeping this baby. Keeping it. Thats my options. Deal with it, kay?"

The room was silent, everyone just shifted in their seats. Laura looked at Carlisle and Esme, "Is that a yes?"

"The doctor gave us a binder full of information about various options, but as you can see Bella isn't very open to any of her other options."

"Bella, why do you want to keep the baby?" Laura asked.

"Its my only family. I've never had real family before. I just want to feel like I have someone to love me unconditionally."

"That makes sense Bella, I understand where you are coming from, and that is a very good reason. I can also understand where your parents are coming from though."

"Well I don't care. Its not their choice." I crossed my arms, and looked down at the floor.

"Bella, do you mind if I talk to your parents alone for a few minutes?"

"Why?" I was nervous to let her be alone with them, I didn't want them to brainwash her into making me the baby away.

"I just need to talk to them about some stuff, I won't be very long, I promise."

"Fine." I stood up and left her office. I pressed my ear up against the door hoping to hear what they were saying, but it was no use, I couldn't hear anything, so I just sat down and began bitting my nails.

Esme POV

Once Bella left I moved closer to Carlisle on the couch. "You have to understand where we are coming from," I begged. "I don't think shes ready for a baby. She can barely take care of her self, let alone an infant."

"I get it, I understand, but you also have to think about where she is coming from. Has she ever talked to you about her past before?"

"No" Carlisle said at the same time I said yes.

"She has to me, but not in detail. Not really about her past so much as how she felt that need to be loved."

"Bella has been through some horrible things. No fifteen year old should have to deal with half the things Bella has been through. I am confident that you are providing her with a great family. I'm sure she is loved and well cared for in your home, but she has only been with you for five weeks. She has been alone her whole life up until now, and you have to understand that this baby is what Bella feels is her only chance at a read family."

"How can we show her thats not true. We can be her real family." A tear rolled down my cheek, "We love her. We thought she was adjusting so well, she seemed to be doing so good."

"She is doing very well, but from what I can gather finding out that she is pregnant is making her relive her past. She probably tried to block all those horrible events from her mind, but now its as though she has a constant reminder of what happened to her."

"Wouldn't that make her want to get rid of the baby though?" Carlisle asked.

"No, Bella has convinced herself that this baby is the only real family she will ever have. That might change though, once she becomes more comfortable with you guys, and feels more like she is a part of your family she may change her mind. In four or five months Bella might feel like you guys are her real family, and that need to keep her baby might not be so strong. All I can say for now is don't force adoption on her. Let her do whatever she wants. Try to make her feel like she is truly part of your family. Things might change."

"You think so?" I asked, wiping away my tear. "I just want whats best for her, and for the baby."

"I know you do, and yes, I do think it could happen. Don't count on it though, it really depends how much progress we make. Bella has a lot of stuff she needs to work out. This baby might just be her way of coping. For now though just keep up with the doctors visits, I would suggest Bella come see me once a week alone, and in a few months I'll meet with all three of you and see where things are."

I stood up, "Thank you so much Laura, I really appreciate you meeting with us."

"No problem, it was nice meeting you guys. Things are going to work out, don't worry. It'll be a tough road, but it will make you all stronger people."

"Thank you." Carlisle smiled as he shook her hand. "See you next week."

"See you then." Laura smiled as Carlisle and I walked into the waiting room. Bella was sitting on one of the chairs with her head in her hands.

I placed my hand on her shoulder. "Time to go sweetheart."

She looked up at me, and it broke my heart to see her face. Her eyes were red and puffy and her make up was running all down her cheeks. She choked back a sob as she stood up, and I wrapped my arms around her.

"I thought this was all in the past. I just want to forget." She cried into my shoulder.

"Shhh," I cooed, "You'll be ok. I'll be here for you the whole time. I love you Bella."

I put my arm around her shoulder as we walked to the car. I could hear her whimpering the whole way home, and it pained me to see her so upset.

Bella POV

As soon as we got home I went right up to my room. It was only six, but I felt like going to bed. I got into the shower and turned the water really hot. All I wanted was to forget the past fifteen years, to just pretend it never happened, but this baby wasn't going to let me do that. I still loved it though, it was still my family.

I washed my hair and face and then just stood there, letting the hot water wash over me. "I love you baby." I placed my hand on stomach. "I always will. I promise you will have the life I never had. I promise that I will always make sure you are smiling. No one is ever going to take you away from me baby, I swear."

Please Please PLEASE review!

Lots of Love,

Alice :)
