Chapter 5

The Day You Slipped Away

The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same

I had my wake up
Won't you wake up
I keep asking why
And I can't take it
It wasn't fake
It happened, you passed by

Flash Forward

I rubbed my back as I stood up. I was now thirty-three weeks along and I was huge. I asked my doctor if it was normal to be so big. She told me that every woman is different.

I sighed and lifted my shirt. I glanced in the mirror. I looked like I was ready to pop. The only thing that made me happy was that I didn't really have stretch marks. I had brought some really expensive lotion that said it would help and it did. For once I was glad I splurged on something.

I went to my closet and decided on what to wear. I pulled out a dark blue knit top and my ever faithful jeans. I pulled those on and then I put on my slip on converse; I couldn't bend over anymore to tie them so I bought slip ons.

I had a doctor's appointment today. I was getting my first ultrasound. I didn't get on at first because I didn't want to know what I was having. But in the end, my paranoia took over and I gave in.

I ran a brush through my hair; it fell in soft waves. I put on my coat and walked down stairs. Everyone was at work or school. I had stop going to school and started doing everything through cyber school. I logged onto the laptop they sent me and did my work that way. I was still able to do my work, but from the comfort of my bed.

I went out to my truck and drove to my appointment. Once I got there I signed in and waited for my name to be called. It still felt strange for me to be there; all these pregnant women with their partners with them. I was the only one that was alone. I tried to ignore the pity stares. I turned my attention to a magazine only to put it back down when I saw the cover; a man and woman embracing, the title read "You, Him and Your Baby".

Soon enough my name was called and I nearly ran; of course I didn't. I settled for a nice waddle instead.

The nurse directed me to a room and told me to take a seat. I sat and waited for Dr. Hunter to come in, which she did shortly after I did.

She smiled, "How are we today?"

I returned the smile and rubbed my stomach, "We are feeling huge."

She nodded, "I told you it's different for every woman. Are you sticking to your diet?"

"Yes," I sighed.

She walked over and instructed me to lay back. Dr. Hunter lifted up my shirt and pulled down the panel on my pants to reveal my rotund stomach. She put some gel on my stomach, warning me it might be cold. I simply nodded to keep up my charade.

A light flickered on the screen and I nearly fainted when I saw the image.

"Well we have answer to why you are so big now." Dr. Hunter chuckled. "You have twins in there."

I couldn't focus. Twins. How I was going to deal with twins, alone? This was not good. I had gotten pregnant, but now I am double pregnant. I felt the tears escaping my eyes before I could stop them.

"Bella," Dr. Hunter was concerned. "What's wrong?"

I might her gaze. "I was ready for a baby, one baby." I said holding up my index finger. "But twins, two babies, I don't know how I can do it by myself."

Dr. Hunter gave me a reassuring smile. "Everything's going to be alright. You have your friends and family to help you."

Her saying that only made me cry harder. I had one friend, Angela, and as soon as I possibly could I was moving out. I didn't have any family. My mother and father had disowned me and the only other family I had was out of my life forever.

I merely nodded, "Well, what am I having?"

Dr. Hunter moved the wand around on my stomach. After a couple of minutes she said, "Well Baby A here," She pointed to the left side of the screen. "Is a boy. Baby B is a girl."

I sighed and then I realized that this wasn't something bad, not completely. This was going to be my one and only chance to get pregnant, so fate decided to make it worth my while.

I smiled. "Are they alright?"

Dr. Hunter smiled. "Yes, they are doing very well. I'm going to take some measurements." After awhile she had gotten the measurements. "Baby A is four pounds and one ounce and about seventeen inches long. Baby B is four pounds even and about seventeen inches. They are just about the same size."

"So everything is going to be ok?" I asked.

"Well knowing now that you are pregnant with twins, I want you to take it much easier. Nothing to exert yourself; I want you to start drinking this protein shake to make sure that you are getting enough protein and calcium. I want you off your feel as much as possible."

I took in all her orders. I wiped off my stomach and Dr. Hunter told me I was free to go. I set up another appointment with the receptionist and then I drove back to the Weber's house. Everyone was home and I decided that I would tell them at dinner about the twins.

Mrs. Weber had cooked a very wonderful. It was her who asked about my appointment. "Did everything go alright today at the doctor's?" she asked, cutting into a piece of her chicken.

I took a drink of ice tea before I answered. "Well, I got some news."

Every one looked worried. "Is everything alright?" Angela asked.

"Yes, everything is fine. Well you know that I got my first ultrasound today and I found out that I am having twins." I announced.

"Really?" Angela asked excitedly.

I nodded. "A boy and a girl."

"Congratulations Bella, I'm sure you're happy." Mrs. Weber exclaimed. She didn't sound upset by the news.

Mr. Weber nodded his head in agreement. Isaac and Josh got really excited.

"Is that your so huge, Bella?" Josh asked, pointing at my belly.

"There are two babies? Where'd the other one come from?" Isaac pondered.

We all laughed and finished eating dinner. That night after I helped put away the dishes, I went to my room, took a shower and changed into my pajamas; my ever faithful sweat pants and t-shirt. I climbed into bed, my hair still wet. I went to lying on my side; that was the only way I was comfortable.

I put a pillow underneath my massive belly and was lulled to sleep by the pitter patter of the rain on my window, a nagging feeling of dread in the back of my head.

The next morning was like any other. I woke up, got something to eat and then started working on school. Sometime between eating and working on school I would get dressed; after I finished school, I would tidy up around the house. But today was different because today I got a phone call.

I had just slipped into my jeans and was pulling on my blue and white stripped shirt when my cell phone rang. Only a very few amount of people had my number so I could only guess at who it would be.

I went to my night stand, where it was still charging and looked at the screen to see who it was. I gasped as I read it.

Charlie

I quickly opened the phone. "Dad?"

I expected to hear my father's voice but I heard another voice. "Bella, this is Deputy McGrath."

I was confused. "Where is my dad?"

"Are you sitting down?" He asked, his voice thick.

I sat down on the bed. "Yes, now please tell me. Where is Charlie?" My voice was desperate now.

"Bella, I'm sorry to tell you this, but there was a robbery at the gas station. Your father was shot. He is at the hospital right now." He informed me.

I didn't reply. I shut the phone. I grabbed my hoodie, slipped on my shoes and raced out the door to my truck. I went as fast as my truck could take me, ignoring the complaining groans from the engine. When I arrived at the hospital, I went inside as quickly as I could. I went to the front desk.

"I'm looking for Charlie Swan." I told the nurse.

She typed something on the computer. "Are you a relation?"

"I'm his daughter." I told her, my patience wearing thin.

"He is in room 213." She directed me to an elevator and to take it to the second floor. Once I got off the elevator I turned left and then right, per her instructions.

When I reached 213 I slowly opened the door and peeked in. There laid my father; tubes coming out of him arms, the beeping on the heart monitor too far in between.

He opened his eyes. "Bella," He croaked.

The tears that threaten earlier now poured over. "Daddy," I went to his side and held his cold hand. "Daddy I am so sorry-" he cut me off.

"Bella, I'm sorry for everything." His eyes flickered to my stomach. "How are you, both of you?"

I smiled a watery smile. "All three of us are fine."

"Three," he said, his voice weak.

I nodded my head. "I'm having twins. Are you still mad at me?"

He shook his head. "No, Bella I stopped being mad at you awhile ago. I just didn't know how to tell you that I was sorry."

"Its okay, Daddy." I said, squeezing his hand.

"Bella, I want you to know that everything is in your name; the house, the insurance, everything." He told me, his voice growing weaker.

"No, don't talk like that. You're going to be alright." I said, sobbing.

"Bella, everything isn't alright. You're strong Bella, you will get through this. Promise me that you'll take care of yourself and my grandchildren." He placed a cold hand on my belly.

"Daddy," I started.

He looked at me, his gaze stubborn. "Promise me, Bella."

"I promise, I promise." I told him.

He smiled, "Good. I love you Bella."

I sobbed. "I love you too."

That was the day I lost my father.

After that everything seemed like a blur. The funeral came and I stood there, in a dress that Mrs. Weber bought for me, while everyone in town came to pay their respects to their police chief. I didn't even try to talk to anyone; they would whispers their words to me and walk on. I recognized a few faces; the werewolves of La Push came, along with several others from their town. Billy didn't speak to me; he merely grasped my hand and then rolled on to the casket.

We drove to the cemetery where Charlie was buried next to his parents. I stood there long after everyone left.

I had my silent good bye. There was a sharp sob and I realized that it was me. I broke down and cried for the lost of one of the most important people in my life.

Every left me. The love of my life left me, my family left me and now my father, my real and only family, left me. My life was empty and I was alone, all I had were my unborn children.

I was stuck doing this alone.

Alice's POV

I gasped as I came out of the vision and covered my mouth with my hands. Charlie Swan was dead. Bella's father had been killed.

I dry sobbed until Jasper came into the room and took me into his arms.

"Alice, what happened?" He asked, trying to send a wave of calm over me.

I looked up at him. "Charlie's dead."

His eyes widened. "How?"

I leaned into his chest and he wrapped an arm around my waist, placing his other hand on the back of my head. "He was shot during a gas station robbery." I snorted. "The one act of violence in Forks and it ends in death."

"Did you see Bella?" He asked, quietly. Edward was actually home, for once.

I shook my head. "Just Charlie,"

I felt another vision coming; there was nothing I could do to stop it. This time it was Bella; all I could see was her face. Her long brown locks were pulled back and she was wearing black. She was crying; but looked more like a nervous breakdown.

"First Ed-ed-war-rd and my family, now Char-li-lie. Everyone I love leaves me." She sobbed into her hands. The vision ended and I looked up at Jasper.

"Bella is not in a good place. This might just send her over the edge." I told him, my voice full of fear.

"Why do you say that?" Jasper was worried.

"She has nothing holding her down now. Charlie was the only connection she had, besides her mother."

"We can't interfere." Jasper sighed.

My eyes tightened. "The moment something happens I am rushing back there."

"You know, he won't like that." He raised an eyebrow.

"He will deal with it." I told Jasper.

I jumped when I heard Edward's voice behind me. "Will I?" he walked forward. "You will not go to see Bella." He command, his voice struggling as he said her name.

"She just lost her father. She needs someone, anyone." I said I was stood up, lifting my head to look at him.

He sighed and closed his eyes. "She has her mother and her friends." With that he walked out of the room.

"When do you think he'll break?" Jasper asked me.

"Soon, very soon." I didn't even need a vision to know that.

Bella's POV

Flash Forward

I sat in shock at what I had just heard. My father's attorney just told me what I had inherited from my father. Being named as his sole benefactor, I got everything; the house, the property, which was a large amount of the surrounding forest and all of his insurance money.

My father had your regular life insurance, but on top of that he had a special insurance was that only available to police officers, fire fighters, and other people who worked in dangerous situations.

Altogether I was set to inherit, nearly half a million dollars. I leaned back into my seat and took deep breathes.

"Ms. Swan, are you alright?" Mr. Belford asked me.

"Fine," I said breathlessly.

I took care of all of my father's unfinished business; which wasn't much. I signed a few papers and was now a half a million dollars richer.

I drove back to the Weber's house. I had already decided to move out. I had worn out my welcome. I pulled up into the driveway and carefully lowered myself and my thirty-five week pregnant belly out of the truck. I walked inside the house to find everyone already sitting down for dinner. I took off my coat and joined them.

We ate silently, forks and knife moving across plates.

"I have announcement to make," They looked up at me, waiting. "I have decided to move back into my old house."

Angela looked very sad. "Why? Bella you can stay here as long as you need to. You don't have to leave."

"Yes Bella. Our home is welcome to you." Mrs. Weber told me.

I sighed. "I thank you, all of you, for everything you have done for me. But I think my welcome is more than worn out. I have inherited my father's house and I want to go back there."

"We understand Bella." Mr. Weber said. "But if you ever need anything you know you can always come to us."

I smiled. "Thank you."

That night, I started packing my things. Angela helped me, as sad she was.

I packed away all my clothes, some of them already in boxes because I had outgrown them. Soon all of my belongings were packed; there wasn't much, just clothes, I hadn't bought any baby things yet.

Mr. Weber helped me load up my truck; now came the hard part: the good byes. I gave each of them a hug and made a promise to still come over. Isaac and Joshua cried as I hugged them.

"Hey guys, it's alright. I'll still babysit you." I told them.

"Will you?" Josh asked me, rubbing his eyes.

"You bet." I smiled at them.

They both nodded and took their places by their parents. "Don't be a stranger." Mrs. Weber called out to me as I claimed into my truck.

I looked out the window and smiled, "I won't." With that, my truck roared to life and I drove home, my real home. Out of the two places I had stayed since I had gotten pregnant, the Cullen's mansion and the Weber's, Charlie's house was my home; the only place where I would ever feel as if I was wanted and not a burden.

When I reached the house, I stepped out of my truck. I sighed, a smile creeping on to my face as I took in the house that never changed. It felt good to be home.
