Chapter 19: Unexpected

Nessie's POV

My dad refused to tell me exactly what happened after he, Emmett, mom, Rosalie, and Jacob had done to those boys after they tried to rape me. When I asked the others they refused to tell me as well.

I eventually gave up on asking. I returned to school the following where my teachers and principal gave me a ton of crap about missing so much school. Not one word about why I missed so much school though. I was way too used to people not caring about the reasoning behind the things I do though. Honestly it was probably better that they didn't ask any questions though.

Most of my spare time was spent playing catch up on all the work and tests that I had missed while I was gone. Normally I wouldn't be allowed to make up tests that occurred during unexcused absences but this was state testing. Which was legally required.

Due to Los Angeles's sunny weather I didn't get much time to see my family either. Only mom and Jacob. I could only imagine how my dad must've felt every time Jacob came over.

It didn't matter what type of day I was having. As soon as I saw Jacob my mood instantly shifted to extremely happy. Seeing him and being with him made me extremely happy. When I wasn't with him I wanted to be with him and I looked forward to seeing him again. Whenever we could we went out on dates. Movies, dinner, beach, sporting events. Just about everything you could think of. Except for sex. We hadn't had sex again because now it was impossible to be alone. So we never even brought up the topic again.

My alarm blared in my ears one morning. I groaned as I got up to get ready for school. I hadn't gotten much sleep the night before and I was tempted to ditch. However it had only been three weeks since I'd gotten back and I'd be in a hell of a lot of trouble if I missed anymore.

So I reluctantly got out of bed and started getting ready for school.

"Weird," I muttered to myself when I noticed that my sweatshirt felt tighter than usual. I took it off to change into something else when I happened to look in the mirror and noticed a small bump protruding from my stomach. I'd been a lot hungrier than usual lately and obviously all the extra calories was making me gain weight. I'm sure the sudden cravings for ice cream and potato chips I've been getting lately aren't helping me either.

I shook my head as I put on a larger sweater that I hardly ever wore. I fixed myself two bowls of cereal for breakfast before I left for school that morning.

As I wheeled myself to school I suddenly felt the urge to throw up. I barely made it to a trash can before I tossed my cookies. I briefly thought about going back home when I remembered the extremely short leash I was on when it came to absences.

I saw police activity on my way to school which I'd grown accustomed to. The police have been investigating the disappearances of Óscar, Ethan, Liam, Joseph, and Carter ever since their families reported them missing. Which made me wonder even more what mom, dad, Jacob, Emmett, and Rosalie had done to them after they had tried to rape me.

I got to school without further incident. Everything seemed to be going fine until third period when I began to feel sick again. The teacher decided to send me straight to the nurse when she thought I was going to be sick in her class.

The nurse just had me lie down while she tried to figure out what could be wrong with me. It was weird how I could be fine one minute, sick the next, fine again, and then sick again. That was weird.

Then I spotted the pads. Wait shouldn't I have gotten my period by now? When I really thought about it I realized that I should've gotten my period two weeks ago. Jacob and I had sex three weeks ago. The cravings, the insatiable hunger, the small bump, and the lack of a period all added up to one thing in my head.

My hands flew to my stomach. I could feel the small bump there. It couldn't be possible. I only had sex one time three weeks ago. I couldn't be this pregnant already. I'd only been pregnant one time before and I miscarried the baby after three months. I'd never even gotten to the point where my stomach started showing but this time around it's already showing at three weeks?

I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down. There was only one person I could talk to about this. There was only one person I wanted to talk to about this. My grandfather Carlisle. He could either confirm my suspicion or tell me I'm completely delusional because it was impossible for me to be this pregnant so early on.

Thankfully I was able to get the nurse to excuse me from school for the rest of the day. The Cullens had recently purchased a home in the city not to far from here and I knew exactly how to get there.

The day had gotten very cloudy and overcast since morning and I briefly wondered if it was going to rain. Which would really suck because I didn't have an umbrella.

As I was thinking about the possibility of rain and my lack of an umbrella I saw something that made me freeze in the middle of the street I was crossing. A red eyed pale man in a black cloak wearing a V shaped necklace. I spotted him briefly and he was gone in the blink of an eye.

Then suddenly the grounded started shaking so violently that I was thrown from my wheelchair. I screamed as people started running in fear.

The buildings around me shook violently. A piece of a nearby building broke off and I closed my eyes when I was sure it was going to hit me.

Suddenly a pair of ice cold arms grabbed me and yanked me out of the way just in time. Instead it was my dad that got hit.

"Dad what are you doing?"

He looked at me like I was crazy. "Something that I've drastically failed to do since the moment you were born and that is protecting you and keeping you safe,"

"Dad-"

"You're my daughter and I love you. You're the most precious thing I have in my life and I will not lose you again. I will always protect you," my dad said as he shielded me from all the falling objects and the devastation occurring all around me.
