Chapter 4 – The Unexpected
I awoke the next morning to a loud clanging noise, followed by a string of rather vulgar profanities. I gently pushed up onto my elbows to sit upright, rubbing my eyes to clear the sleep that had gathered there and looked towards the noise.
The doctor who had helped Charlie with his jaw was crouched down picking up pieces of broken porcelain, from where Jake had knocked over a lamp yesterday. He seemed to have cut his finger, as there was a little blood on the floor and a gash on his hand.
"If you don't want me to throw up, then I suggest you get rid of that blood ASAP." The smell was making me feel really sick.
The doctor shot up and dropped the porcelain he held in his hands, staring at me wide eyed in shock.
"Shit."
He bent down and picked up what he dropped from before and straightened up again.
"I'm so sorry for waking you."
I laughed as he dumped the broken lamp into a bin and wrapped his hand in a piece of cloth he pulled out of his pocket.
"Oh, don't worry about it; I'm sorry for scaring you."
The doctor ducked his head and chuckled slightly, fumbling with his hand. After a couple of minutes he lifted his head and our eyes locked. He really did have the most beautiful green eyes I had ever seen. The air became quite awkward as we just sat there looking at each other.
"Um, yeah, so thanks for helping my dad with his jaw yesterday. I didn't think things would get out of hand."
He chucked lightly.
"It's my job Isabella, it was no problem." He replied smoothly.
"How do you know my name?"
"You're the long lost daughter of the Chief of Police and this is a small town. News spreads pretty fast. And it might be due to the fact that I've seen your file." He said dryly, with a smirk that made my heart lurch strangely.
I frowned and looked down at my lap, suddenly fascinated with my nails which I'd never cared for before in my entire life.
"Oh."
He walked towards me and sat down on the edge of my bed.
"Isabella…"
The door swung open suddenly, and in walked the other doctor who helped out yesterday, followed by Charlie pushing Billy with Elizabeth on his lap and Jake with Mason on his hip. The bunch crowded in the room, laughing and joking around, completely unaware of the thick tension in the room.
"Momma!"
Elizabeth squealed from Billy's lap, before climbing down and wobbled her way over to the bed. She grabbed hold of the covers, but couldn't pull herself up. The big doctor laughed, bent down and placed her on the bed. She crawled over to my lap and snuggled into my chest.
"Hey baby, did you have fun with Grandpa Billy and Uncle Jake?"
"Yes, they took me to this party and there were lots of really big people but they poked my face. I didn't like it."
I chuckled and kissed the top of her head, holding her close.
"You hate people poking you, don't you baby?"
"Yeah."
The guys stopped joking around and turned their attention towards me.
"Sorry Bells, we never introduced you to the doctors."
I smiled at Charlie as he walked forward and clapped his hand on the big one's shoulder.
"This is Emmett McCarthy-Cullen and that's Edward Mason-Cullen. Both very highly regarded doctors around here. We're glad to have them."
"So you're brothers then?" I said looking between Emmett and Edward.
"Too right, Eddie here is my little bro, but we're adopted. Carlisle Cullen is our padre." Emmett flung his arm around Edwards shoulder and ruffled his hair.
"Oh!"
Jake stepped forward and put Mason on the bed, before rubbing the back of his neck.
"Bells, I want to apologise for what happened yesterday. I'm so sorry I lost it. It's just, you're like a sister to me and I would do anything to keep you safe. I failed Bells, and I'm sorry."
I pulled Mason towards me and tucked him under my other shoulder, kissing his forehead.
"Don't worry about it Jake, I don't blame you for what happened. You didn't fail me because it was my own fault. I don't want you to be mad at yourself."
"Bells…"
Then Carlisle walk through the door cutting off what Jake was saying.
What is it with everyone and interrupting my conversations today?
Carlisle paused in the door way, holding his file in front of him. Everyone stopped talking, looking at me like I was a mad woman.
"Should I come back later then?"
I sighed and shoved my face in Mason's hair breathing in his little boy scent, calming my nerves.
"No its fine Doctor, please come in." I sighed.
"Please call me Carlisle."
"Okay then, Carlisle. What can I do for you?"
"Well I just got the results from a blood sample I took from you when you came in. I was wondering if I could talk to you about them."
The blood drained from my face, something was wrong. My worry must have been present on my face, as Carlisle gave me a small reassuring smile.
"Yeah that's fine."
Carlisle looked over the file in his hands before glancing up and coughing slightly.
"I was wondering if I could talk to you alone."
Carlisle got a few curious glances from the guys.
"You know, to avoid any other incidents."
Carlisle looked over at Jake who was looking down at the ground, scuffing his feet, while rubbing the back of his neck.
"Sure, Doc, we will get out of your way." Charlie said easily, whilst picking Elizabeth off my lap and handing her to Billy while Jake picked up Mason. Charlie turned to me before pushing Billy out.
"If you need us Bells, just call."
"I will dad."
I gave him a smile as he walked out the door followed by Edward who gave me a two fingered wave, then Emmett who blew me a kiss through the air and a girly wave. Carlisle and I chuckled as he pulled the door close.
"I'm sorry about my son; he is a bit of an idiot."
"I think he's brilliant. It's nice to see someone so full of joy all the time. He makes me smile."
"Yes, Emmett was always known as the class clown. Edward, however, was more of the solemn silent type."
"I think amazing that you adopted them both."
"Thank you. Emmett, Edward and Alice are the joys of my wife and I's lives." He said with a dreamy smile, that proved his love and adoration for his children was genuine and deep.
"Alice is?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, Alice is my adopted daughter."
I nodded in understanding. An uneasy feeling settled over the room and I knew Carlisle could feel it too.
"Bella, when was the last time you had sexual contact with your husband."
"Ex-husband." I corrected. "It must have been around 6 days ago." I continued cautiously.
Carlisle sat on the edge of the bed and took my hand in his.
"Bella, was it forced?"
His voice was so gentle, like a whisper. I nodded, feeling a lump form in my throat and my eyes fill with tears. My mind flashed back to 6 days ago - James had just gotten home from a meeting and it was really late at night. I could tell that he had been out with his work buddies as soon as he walked through the door; he stank of alcohol. I was in bed, reading when he stumbled through the door.
"Hey babe, you been waiting up for me all this time?"
He walked over and gave me a rough kiss, forcing his tongue into my mouth and gripping my hair in his hand. I pushed him away gentle, trying not to anger him.
"James' you've been drinking, I suggest you just get into bed and go to sleep."
Oh how, I was wrong to say that. I pulled away, when I saw that murderous look he got in his eyes. He threw his jacket on the chair and pulled his tie off, never taking his eyes off me.
"You been sleeping with one of your boy toys, you little slut? Too spent for your dear old husband?"
He ripped off his shirt, sending the buttons flying everywhere. I climbed out of bed, making my way to the bathroom, just to get away from him until he passed out.
"James you're talking crazy. I love you. You know I would never cheat on you." I exclaimed quickly.
James walked in front of me, getting right up in my face, body flushed against mine. I could feel his arousal against my inner thigh. Only a sick bastard like him could get excited over something like this.
"Where you goin' baby?"
"James, just let me through."
I tried to push past him, but he wouldn't budge. James was a lot bigger and stronger than I, so there was no way that I would get passed him easily. He grabbed hold of my left breast and started biting and sucking on my neck.
"James, please don't, I'm not in the mood."
I tried to push against him again but it only seemed to spur him on. His other hand snaked around my waist and grabbed hold of my ass, pushing me into him.
"James, I said no."
I pushed harder this time, forcing him away from my neck. He glared at me and pulled his hand back, slapping me around the face.
"Bitch, you don't order me around. When I want to fuck my wife, I will fuck my wife. You get no say in the matter."
James backhanded me again before crushing his lips to mine. His hands held me prisoner, while they pulled and ripped my pajamas away from my body. Once I was naked, he pushed me back on the bed, stripped himself of his remaining clothes before diving on top of me. He didn't wait long before plunging into me. Pain ripped through my body as I was unprepared for his penetration. I sobbed the whole time he continued to plunge into me like a horny 17 year old having sex for the first time. Once he was satisfied, he passed out on top of me. I pushed him off, now an easy task while he was unconscious, and ran into the toilet. I slept on the bathroom floor that night, being woken up by James' wandering hands once more in the morning.
Carlisle patted my hand, gaining my attention once more, and drew me from my horrid memories.
"Bella, according to your blood tests, you're in the very early stages of pregnancy. I'm sorry."
A sob erupted from my chest and the tears were unleashed, pouring down my face. How could he do this to me again? I had been so carful after Elizabeth, taking the pill behind James's back knowing that he would flip if he knew I was using contraception. I remembered the last time James caught me with the pill. He knocked me around something silly, shouting at me that I was making sure I wouldn't get pregnant from my 'other lovers'. He refused to let me use the pill, saying it would teach me a lesson to live in fear of becoming pregnant. What a cock!
"Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Can you just get me my kids?"
"Sure Bella."
Carlisle patted my head and walked out the door, returning a few minutes later with Mason and Elizabeth, each holding onto one of his hands. He picked them up and placed them on my bed.
"Take your time Bella; I will see if I can calm the mob outside." With a wink, he turned and walked out the room, closing the door softly behind him.
"Come here babies."
I pulled the kids closer and tucked them under my arms, placing a kiss on top of both their heads. After a few moments silence, I took a deep breath ready to tell them the news.
"Hey, guess what?"
"What momma?"
Mason answered, turning towards me, as did Elizabeth, biting her fingers.
"Well, momma is going to have a baby. You two are going to have a little brother or sister."
Elizabeth squealed and placed a little kiss on my tummy.
"I'm going to be the best big sister in the world! I'm going to play with them and teach them how to ride a bike and…"
I droned out what she was saying and looked over at Mason who has his head down looking at his hands, a habit he apparently picked up from me.
"Mason, what's wrong honey?"
He looked up at me, his blue eyes swimming with unshed tears.
"Is daddy going to be mad?"
Of course he would be worried about his father. He wasn't exactly the most understanding when he first found out I was pregnant with Elizabeth. He didn't believe she was his and refused to be a part of her life. He hit me constantly during the pregnancy and started to be mean to Mason. I didn't realize that he would remember. Once Elizabeth was born, it was like he turned over a new leaf. He was always buying me expensive presents and spending a lot of time with the kids. It didn't last long though, just up until Elizabeth was just over a year old, then he started being a prick again.
"No baby, daddy won't be mad. He'll never know." I leaned down and whispered in his ear.
"It will be our little secret."
Mason nodded before leaning back into my embrace. It would take a while for him to heal after all the things he's been through and learn not to be scared anymore. I would make sure of that, as would Charlie, Billy and Jake. We all had each other now and we will keep each other safe.
A/N: Well there you have it folks!!! What did you think of it?? I know its a bit dramatic at the moment and you can bitch at me for making her pregnant again but it will all smooth down soon.....NA!! Im just kidding...(straight face) It willl properly get worse from now on :P haha
