The Next Afternoon...
So, here I was, sitting at home, watching something on TV. I wasn't even sure what it was, but it was funny, so I watched it purposely to distract myself from my life. Right in the middle of it, someone was knocking on the front door. I got up to see who it was. It was the person who I least expected to see. Jasper. With flowers in his hand.
"What do you want?" I asked him, madly confused
"I want you Bella. I want you, and for you to know that I love you, more than I could ever show. Just going that 2 days without seeing you was hell, and I don't want to figure out what longer would feel like. I want to spend the rest of forever with you, and I want to help you raise our baby, and a few more in our future, if you would like. I love you Bells, and I want to prove it. I hope I can. Please let me back into your heart."
"Who says you ever left?" I questioned him happily, as I hugged and kissed him with joy
For some reason, I felt like doing him, right there, right then. I thought that pregnant women didn't get those feelings. Apparently they do. Kissing him harder, and pulling him over to the couch, I sat down, and pulled him onto me.
"Baby, do you really want to do this right now? You do remember that you're pregnant right?" he asked me
"Of course I remember. I just want to have sex a few times before I grow a bump so we can enjoy it."
"Fair enough." he agreed, as we made our way up to my bedroom.
After a long while, we decided to stop and talk. We sat on my bed and started up talking.
"So, what do you want to do about this baby?" Jas asked me
"I really don't know, but whatever we do, I don't want to get an abortion. That's just really wrong."
"Well, if you don't want to do that, then we'd probably end up keeping it and raising it ourselves. If we went to give it up for adoption, then we'd likely change our minds when we see our newborn."
"If that's the case then I guess we'll raise it ourselves. I wouldn't really want to give it up anyway since its our baby with our DNA. Just how are we going to tell our parents?"
"We'll tell my parents first, since Carlisle is a doctor and can tell if you're really pregnant, and then we'll figure out how we should tell Charlie. There's no point in formulating a plan that we won't even need in the end. And you have a good point with the whole thing about DNA." he stated
"Then we might as well figure out if I'm actually pregnant. There's no reason for waiting. But Jas, please don't leave me alone to deal with this."
"Bella, baby, I would never, ever let you do this by yourself. I love you too much." he assured me, kissing me gently. "Now we should get dressed and go to Carlisle."
We got up and put our clothes back on. Then we were on our way, in Jasper's car. As we pulled into his driveway, we got the weirdest sight we'd probably ever see. Alice and Edward were dressed in zebra print full body onesies, and Emmett was dressed in a leopard print one. Then there was Rosalie, in a normal pair of black shorts and a purple fitted tank top. Was she seriously that far along in her pregnancy already? Maybe I just wasn't used to seeing her with a not flat stomach.
"Should we even wonder what you guys are doing?" Jasper asked his siblings
"We were playing a game, sort of like tag, but in animal suits." Alice explained with a straight face
"Well ok then." Jasper replied, grabbing my hand and leading me to the door
Once we got inside, Carlisle and Esme were sitting in the living room, watching the news.
Jasper's POV
"Hey, Carlisle? We have a, well I'm not sure if it's an issue or a confusion, or what, but we have a situation. We need your help." I stated
Carlisle was standing in front of us in an instant.
"What is it? Is everything alright?" he asked us, worried
"We aren't completely sure, but can we talk to you in your office?" I asked
"Yes, of course. Let's go."
As we walked up there, I could feel the nervous tension wafting off Bella, but really it was hard not to.
"So, which one of you is having a problem?" Carlisle questioned us once we were in his office and sitting down
"Well, we think we might be having a baby too." I admitted
"Dear god, what makes you think that?" he asked us, even more worried
"Bella, you want to list it off?" I asked my girlfriend
"Ok. Well, we took 11 pregnancy tests and 7 were positive and the others were negative, my period is late, and yesterday morning I threw up."
"Well, do you have any idea how far along you might be?" Carlisle questioned her
"No, how would we?"
"Do you know about how late your period was?"
"No, I never counted. How can we figure out if I'm pregnant?" Bella asked, sounding completely scared
"If we knew how far along you were, we would know if we could do an ultrasound or not. If you're less than 10 weeks along, we wouldn't likely be able to tell with a scan." Carlisle explained
"How else would we know? There has to be another way!" Bella said, slightly freaking out
"Don't worry, there is. We'd have to do a blood test. Do you want to do that now?" he offered
"Yes! I have to know! And soon!"
"Bella, its ok, calm down. Everything will be fine, with you pregnant or not. Either way, I'll still love you." I assured her
Carlisle sat next to Bella, and prepared to get some blood to test. After that whole process was over, he started to examine it with all his crazy machines and stuff. We couldn't tell what he was doing, and even if we could, we would never understand. About an hour after he started, he had the test results ready.
"Bella, Jasper. The results came up, and Bella is definitely pregnant." Carlisle announced to us
"How many weeks?" Bella asked eagerly
"About 3, not very far along at all."
"When should we tell Charlie?" I asked
"I don't think you guys should tell him just yet, because there is only a half chance that Bella won't miscarry, so there isn't a point to telling him something for no reason." Carlisle explained
"Ok, so when should we tell him?" Bella questioned
"After your 9 week mark at least. If I were you, I'd wait until I was into the second trimester, but you can do what you choose." Carlisle stated
"What's the second trimester?" Bella questioned yet again
So basically that whole afternoon was spent with Carlisle teaching us all about pregnancy with every little detail.
Rosalie's POV
Why was Bella in Carlisle's office? Was she sick or something? Not that it was any of my business but I like to know what's going on.
Finally, a while later, Bella left. I should see if I could get Carlisle to tell me why she was in there.
"Carlisle, can I see my baby on the ultrasound monitor?" I asked him innocently
"Sure, why not? I understand that you want to see your little one. If I had a little one on the way then I'd want to see them too." he responded gladly
Once we were in his office, me lying on the table, Carlisle running the machine thing across my stomach, I was ready to start questioning. Even though I was ready with questions, I wanted to take a minute to awe at my beautiful baby.
"Shit, he's so cute!" I exclaimed, not thinking my words over
"I'm going to ignore your choice of language since you're pregnant, but what makes you think it's a he?" Carlisle asked me
"I'm not sure, I just always pictured that when I have children, the oldest would be a boy. Anyway, what was Bella in here for?" I asked, getting right to my real reasoning for going in there
"Rose, I'm sorry but that is none of your business. Bella requested that I stay quiet about it." he responded
"Oh. Ok. Well I have some things to do." I said, getting up and leaving the room
Bella's POV
So I really was pregnant. This was really happening. I was going to be a teenage mother.
"So, Bells. When are we going to make the time to fully discuss our plans for the future, with the baby and all?" Jasper asked me on the way home
"Um, how about tomorrow afternoon? Or even morning if you'd rather do that."
"I guess we can do it in the morning. 9:00 ok?" he asked again
"Yeah that's fine. I'll see you then." I responded as he pulled into my driveway
"See you then. I love you Bella. And our baby too." Jas told me, kissing me goodbye
"I love you too. Bye." I said, getting out of the car and going inside
Tonight was going to be a long night full of thinking and planning and decision making.
