Sorry it took me so long to update, I thought my hotel would have internet, but alas I was sadly mistaken. This is a pretty jam packed chapter. PLEASE TELL ME IF IT IS TOO LONG. It hard to fit a weeks events into roughly 5 word pages. Are long chapters ok, or do people prefer shorted ones? Leave a review and let me know =) Enjoy week 8!!

*me no own, you no sue*

Week 8-December 15th

"Bella!" Alice poked me, "Bella wake up! Its snowing!" Alice flew to the window and opened it as wide as it could go.

"Alice," I moaned, "Close the window, I'm cold!"

"But Bella!" She squealed, "Its snowing!"

I was just about to yell at Alice when I felt the familiar feeling in my stomach. I rolled out of bed and ran to the bathroom. My morning sickness was still as bad as ever, but I figured out that if all I eat is crackers and water in the morning, I won't usually get sick at school.

"Bella?" Esme knocked on the bathroom door, "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." I stood up and waked over to the sink. "I'll be out in a sec." Ever since we got back from our meeting with Laura last week Esme hasn't mentioned the baby at all, thankfully, except to tell me I have a doctors appointment on January 7th.

Esme was sitting on my bed, Alice hopping up and down next to her, "Bella!" Alice gushed, "School is cancelled!"

"Really?" I had never had a snow day before. "Omigosh yay!" I dove back into my bed.

"And so is your appointment with Laura." Esme told me. Hearing that made me even happier. "So we are going to go Thursday instead."

A huge smile spread across my face, "No can do, Esme. I'm going dress shopping and getting my nails done with Jessica and Angela. The snowflake dance is Friday."

"I didn't know you were going. Who are you going with?" Esme asked.

"Myself. I don't know. I'm going though, so tell Laura we'll have to meet another time. Or never."

"I'll tell her you will come in on Saturday afternoon." Esme stood up, "Okay?"

"Sure, whatever." I wasn't really paying attention to Esme anymore, I was more concerned with something else. Who was I going to go the the dance with? I couldn't actually go alone, that would look pathetic. I wasn't really that good of friends with any boys in my grade though.

"I'm going to go have breakfast," Alice sang as she danced out of the room. "Are you coming?"

"Not yet." I pulled my covers over my face. I hadn't had a boyfriend in over nine weeks. Thats the longest I've gone in a long time. And I probably won't have another boyfriend for another year, or more. Who wants to date a fifteen year old mom?

Before I could get too deep into my depression I heard the doorbell ring. "Bella!" Emmett called, "Its Jessica!"

Jessica? What was she doing here? "Send her up!" I shouted.

I heard Jessica run up the stairs then she burst into my room, "Bella," She huffed, "Since we have no school today we have to look online for dress ideas!"

"You came all the way here to shop online?"

"My internet is down, plus its more fun to do with someone else." She sat down at my desk and turned on my computer. Usually I would be annoyed at her for just barging in, but today I was grateful for the distraction.

She wasted no time pulling up the first website. "Ohh, look at this one!" She said, pointing at a pink frilly thing.

"Cute!" I forced on a smile and went to sit next to her.

We looked on almost every website, and Jess had a list of stores she liked. "This one would look so good on you Bella!" She gushed, pointing at a short blue strapless dress.

"I'll look at it in a second, I have to pee." I stood up and headed towards the bathroom,

"Can I look through your bio notes for the test tomorrow?" She called.

"Sure, look through anything you like."

When I came back from the washroom Jessica was sitting on my bed cross legged, with a thick blue binder in her lap. "Which subject is that?" I asked going to sit next to her, "I don't think any of my binders are that full yet..." I trailed off as I realized exactly what she was reading.

"Bella?"

I didn't know what to say.

"What is this? Are you pregnant?" Jessica looked up at me, dumbfounded. "Bella?"

I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. "I..I..Its not how it looks...."

"Bella! Why didn't you tell me?" She looked hurt, "Don't you trust me?"

"Yeah, but..."

"But what Bella? Look, I'm going to go." She threw my binder on the floor then stomped out of my room.

"Jessica!" I shouted, "Jess come back! I'm sorry!" My voice got louder and before I knew it I was in hysterics.

"Fuck!" I shouted, slamming my door. "Shit shit shit!" I stormed around my room throwing things off of shelves and dressers. "Oh my fucking god!" I cried. I went over my desk and picked up a picture of me Jessica and Angela taken a few weeks ago. We looked so happy, so carefree. "Ahhh!" I cried, as I chucked the picture at the wall. It crashed to the floor, the glass shattering. The impact had chipped the paint on the wall, but I didn't give a damn.

Carlisle and Esme ran up to my room. "Bella!" Esme rushed to my side, "What on earth happened?" She looked around my now destroyed bedroom.

"The world fucking ended Esme." I sobbed.

"What?" Carlisle looked confused.

I took a minute to calm down, then I looked at them seriously. "This world is going to hell." I spoke slowly, enunciating every word, "And we are all going down with it."

****

At school the next day everyone was staring at me. Of course Jessica would tell everyone, I should have known that. Jessica and her mom are known for their roles as town gossips. Everywhere I went people stared at my stomach.

"Bella!" Edward found me in the hall, "Everyone is talking about you, whats going on?"

"I don't know." A tear slid down my cheek. "Jessica told everyone."

"I am so sorry Bella." Edward hugged me, and I cried into his shoulder.

"Will you take me home?" I cried. I just wanted to leave. I didn't want people to find out this way.

"Of course." He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and led me out towards the car. I climbed into the front seat next to him as he drove me home.

"Will you stay with me?" I asked. Edward looked at me, and nodded.

We walked inside together and he led me up to my room. "Let me just go talk to mom, I'll be right back."

I nodded, and lay down on my bed. A few minutes later Edward returned and lay down next to me. "Shhh, Bella," He whispered, "It'll be okay."

I wanted to believe him, I truly did, but I just couldn't. How could everything possibly be okay?

I didn't go to school the next day, Esme took pity on me and let me stay home.

"Bella," There was a knock on my door.

"Come in." I said dryly.

Esme, Alice and Rosalie came in and sat on Alice's bed. "We want to take you dress shopping." Alice smiled.

"I'm not going to the dance. I don't have a date." I cried.

"You don't need a date," Esme told me, but I knew that was a lie. I'm not going to the winter dance dateless.

"Yes I do." I sniffed.

"Well how about we go anyway, you might just be surprised." Esme reached for my hand and I reluctantly grabbed it.

"Fine."

The four of us drove up to Port Angeles and walked into the most high end dress store. I tried on almost all of the dresses, and finally I found the perfect one.

"Bella," Alice said in awe, "Its amazing."

I twirled around and admired the dress. It was baby blue and the back fell a little bit longer the the front. The straps were thin and went around my neck. The dress went a little bit below my knees. (Pic on my profile) It was absolutely stunning.

"This is the one." I smiled, and for the first time in a long time I felt truly happy.

On Friday I was fully prepared to stay home and hide away from the world, but Esme forced me out of bed and told me I had to go to school.

School today was no better then on Wednesday, in fact, I think it was worse. Now not only were people staring, but they were saying stuff too.

I walked into English and as I passed by Lauren's desk she let out a loud cough that sounded a lot like 'slut.' She wasn't the only one, pretty much everyone I passed called me a slut or a whore.

At lunch I sat down at an empty table alone in the corner. Angela walked into the cafetiria, looked at me, then at Jessica, probably trying to decide who to sit with. In the end she gave me an apologetic smile then when to sit with Jessica. Figures.

"Bel-la." Some one sang from behind me.

"Lauren."

"Is it true? Are you knocked up?" She stood above me, hands on her hips.

"Go away." I muttered.

"So it is true." She smiled widely.

"So are you being sent back to the orphanage?"

"No, I'm staying here, with the Cullen's." I still didn't look up from my untouched luch tray.

"They still want you? Wow, I would never keep a pregnant kid." She smirked. "So are you going to the dance tonight?"

"Yes I am." I looked up from my food and stared Lauren right in the eyes.

"Really?" She sounded shocked. "Who would want to take you?" She spat. All of a sudden a huge grin spread across her face, "Don't tell me that your going alone? Because that would just be pathetic."

I didn't know what to say.

"Of course shes not going alone, I'm taking her." I spun around to see Edward standing behind me.

"Really?" A smile took over my face.

"Really?" Lauren sounded disgusted.

"Really." He said. "Come on Bella, come sit with me." He offered me his hand and I graciously took it.

Lauren was frozen, her mouth hanging open. We walked away from her hand in hand. "Thanks for saving me there Edward. You don't actually have to take me to the dance though."

"I know I don't have to," He grinned, "I want to."

***

I sat in the bathroom while Alice and Rosalie curled my hair and did my makeup. No one had ever put this much effort into me before, and I have to say it felt really good.

"Bella," Alice gushed once they were finished, "you look absolutely stunning!"

"Thanks." I blushed. Rosalie ran to grab my dress and she returned her and Alice helped me slip it on, then they put the finishing touches on my appearance.

"Perfect." They said at the same time.

I smiled then slipped on my white shoes. I carefully walked downstairs where Edward was waiting for me.

"You look amazing." He said, as he looked me up and down.

"Thanks." I blushed again.

"Shall we?" He extended his arm, and I looped mine through it. "We shall." I giggled.

The whole way to the school neither of us said anything. Is he taking me out of pity, or does he actually like me? I definitely think I like him. I don't think I ever dated a boy as sweet and caring as Edward before. I shouldn't get my hopes up though, I mean why would he want to date a girl like me?

My head was still full of questions when we reached the school, but I pushed them all away, determined to just enjoy this night, and not think about anything but this moment.

Edward and I walked arm in arm into the gym, definitely earning some stares. I didn't care though, I was with Edward and thats all that mattered.

He didn't let go of me the whole night. Neither of us could properly dance, so we just held onto each other and swayed to the slow songs and shook our hips to the fast ones.

The night passed much to quickly for my liking and before I knew it the DJ was announcing the last song. It was a slow song, thank the lord, and I pressed my self against Edward. We swayed as one to the beautiful song, my arms wrapped around his neck and his arms around my waist. He wasn't like the boys at my old school, trying to grab my ass. No, Edward was different, he gently rubbed my back as we moved together.

The song ended too quickly, and the lights came on. Edward grabbed my hand and led me out to the car. "I had a great time." He told me as he opened the passenger door for me.

"Me too." I smiled, "Thank you for taking me. You have no idea how much it means to me."

"It was my pleasure." He started the car and pulled out of the parking lot.

"Edward?" My voice was cautious. "Can we pull in somewhere, I think we need to talk."

"Of course." He drove in the opposite direction of our house down a dark highway. After what felt like forever he pulled off the main road and onto a dirt road. He turned off the car and looked at me.

"Why did you invite me tonight?" I asked softly.

"What?" He looked taken aback.

"Is it because you feel sorry for me?" This was a hard question to ask, because I was absolutely terrified that the answer would be yes.

"What?! No! Bella of course not, I would never play with you like that. I care about you. I have since I met you. But you never needed me before. I didn't think it would have been good for me to come up to you on your second day here and say Bella, I really like you. You had been through so much, I didn't want to ambush you. I wanted to wait till the right time...and today just seemed like the right time." He spoke softly, and his words slowed down towards the end.

"Are you telling me the truth? I can't be hurt again. Not now."

"I honestly like you. I did not ask you to the dance because you are pregnant. I asked you in spite of that, I really like you." I wasn't sure if that was necessarily a compliment, but it made me smile ear to ear.

"I really like you too." I whispered. We looked each other in the eyes, and I knew what he was seeing. My brown eyes showed venerability, and I know he knows that. It would be so easy for some one to take advantage of me right now, but for some reason I know Edward wouldn't do that. His green eyes portrayed honesty and love, and I know that the eyes never lie.

Before I knew what was happening we were leaning in towards each other. Our lips met, and for the first time in my life I felt that this kiss actually meant something. I felt like Edward actually meant something.

"I think I love you." I whispered as we broke apart.

"Bella, I know I love you."

What did you think? I'm not great at writing fluff, but I thought I would give it a try at the end. PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!! Thanks, Love Alice =]
