I stared at the positive as if it had a message written within the two lines.
" I'm Pregnant." I rasped as I clutched my stomach, " Edward and I are pregnant!"
My mind flashed back to the field, to the physical rapture Edward and I had shared, there resting in the grass, as we hovered so close to each other that nothing could ever tear us apart! I remembered his laughter and my own mingling as I slipped my fingers into the waist band of his pants and slipped them down his hips. I flushed as I remembered the way he had delicately pulled my shirt over my shoulders while gently brushing his cold lips over and down the curve of my neck.
Now his Child against all odds was growing inside of me!
Growing inside me! A human girl, a mortal, was going to carry an Angel's child.
" Bella, what's the diagnosis." Angela called through the door and I swiftly erased the monitor and then wrapped it in tissue and unthinkingly threw it into the trash. I didn't know how to reply, all of a sudden.
An overwhelming desire to protect the baby inside of me, tore through me tell I was seeing red. This was my baby, mine and Edwards.
I needed to call Edward to tell him about our baby growing inside of me. Tell him about the miracle that had happened!
" Bella….?" Angela demanded " Come on Girl, don't keep me in the dark! Are Edward and you going to be parents or not?"
" One minute, Ang." I called as I hunkered down on the toilet lid.
" Bella is everything all right?" Angela pleaded insistently " Bella?"
Right then a phone rang. I jumped hands clutching my stomach, as I realized it was Angela's cell phone.
" Yeah hey Ben.. No I'm with Bella right know." She chimed as my breath caught in my throat, and I gasped for air.
She wouldn't tell Ben would she?!
" No, Where just hanging out over at Bella and Edward's new place." Angela lied smoothly and let out a sigh of relief.
My baby was still a secret still shielded from the world safe resting within my womb!
" Ben, I'm busy, do you need me..?" I could tell Angela was struggling as she paused to listen to Ben then let out an exasperated sigh.
" Fine, Ben, I'll be there in a minute!"
I heard her snap her phone shut then her voice was flowing through the wood again.
" Bella, I'll give you some time okay, Ben's car broke down."
" Oh, you better go pick him up." I croaked, failing to keep the surprise in my voice hidden.
" You sure you'll be okay?" Angela demanded and I nodded.
" Of course, Ang, I just need to be alone for a little while…" I lied and I heard the sound of her getting up.
" I'll be back to get the verdict later." She called as I leaned back against the door and slid down to the floor.
" Is that okay with you, Bella?"
" Yeah, Angela, thats great." I rasped.
I listened as she closed the door behind her and I slowly had the courage to get up and out of the bathroom.
I needed to call Edward.
I Picked up the phone from where i had left is lying after calling Angela, and breathed raggedly into it, as my trembling fingers dialed Edward's cell.
The room was silent around me, almost painfully so, as his cell phone rang. I had never needed to hear his voice so badly!
" Bella?" Edward's sweet voice sent me to my knees as I gripped the phone against my face so hard it stung!
" Edward!" I breathed, "Oh, Edward."
" What's wrong?" His voice suddenly sharp with concern. "Bella I am about to go hunting. What's wrong? Do you need me to come back?"
" No." I sobbed, unable to stop the tears from streaming down my face.
" Bella, I'm coming home!" Edward said coldly after a slight pause. " Right now Honey, what happened?"
" No, Edward." I hiccupped as I heard a car accelerate and then Emmett's cry off outrage.
" One minute, Love." Edward said shortly.
I heard him cover the receiver as he turned to scream at Emmett. Neeless to say this didn't cover up his roars of frustration.
" Emmett you can get the hell out of my car, and go hunting!" I heard him bellow. " No, I don't give a damn about hunting! Something is wrong with Bella!"
" Now tell me what's going on?" Edward demanded as i shakily traced my finger acroos my belly.
I bit my lip nervously as I wound the phone cord around my trembling finger.
" Bella?"
" Were Pregnant!" I blurted, shocking myself "Edward, were pregnant!"
The other line went completely silent then, " I'm coming home." He said, trying to hide the panic in his voice.
" Hurry." I whispered meekly as I heard him brake, then i heard a car door slam.
" I'm running, Bella, hang on Lo......"
All of a sudden there was a long beep of the call being interrupted and I gripped the phone so hard my knuckles turned white. My heart was exploding in my chest.
" Edward?"
" No, Dear." The musical voice sent shivers ricocheting down my body. I hadn't heard that voice since i had almost lost Edward. The voice alone, sent shivers of horror and fear shattering up and down my spine.
" What did you do?" I murmured frantically as the voice chuckled.
" Nothing at all Bella. See the real question is what have you and Edward done?" He let that hang in the air for a minute and when I didn't answer he continued.
" Know listen very closely to me, Sweet girl." He purred. "You will leave the house know and get in your car then drive to Seattle. I have plane tickets reserved for you."
" What?" I gasped.
" Do it know Bella, or I will kill both you, Edward and…..." He paused as if for effect as he licked his lips. "And then i'll rip your little baby directly from your womb."
