Flabbergasted Phenomenon

Summary: "This is the most unique situation I have ever heard of with a human and a vampire," was what Carlisle said, but all I could think was, "I'm going to have a baby."

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, New Moon, or Eclipse. I just own the scenarios where I thrust my favorite vampire and his family and the love of his life! Yay for me!

Chapter Four: Indecision

"Bella! Bella!"

A rough shove of the shoulder sent me reeling. I sat up quickly, and everything around me was unfocused. After a few seconds two extremely pale identical faces were staring at me.

"Boys! Get downstairs now!"

I turned my head and Angela was sitting beside me, looking worried. I was confused. How did I get inside Angela's bedroom? Wasn't I just in the bathroom?

"Bella lay back down for a minute. I think you forgot to breathe."

Standing over me was Mrs. Webber, and she smiled at me fondly. I lay back down slowly and closed my eyes. Then suddenly there was shouting coming from the lower vicinity of the house, and all I heard was, "Mom! We're throwing up!"

"Go ahead Mom. I think she'll be okay."

After a few seconds, Mrs. Webb patted my shoulder and then left Angela's room. I cracked an eye open and Angela was looking at me worriedly. "Are you all right?"

"I—I can't be pregnant," I mumbled, sitting up a little slower. Angela sighed quietly, but she didn't say a word. I saw that she was not taking sides on my little ordeal, which relieved me slightly. Angela really was the best friend a girl could have.

I decided that I needed to tell her something—anything just to let her know that there had to of been a mistake, but what? I came up with the best story I could offer. "When Edward was a child, he was diagnosed with an illness, and…" I'm so terrible at lying! "And-it-attacked-his-reproductive-system!" I said quickly, my face flushing red. "I don't understand how this could happen!"

Angela sat pensively for a moment before looking at me and murmuring, "Miracles happen."

Was this a miracle? And if it was, was Edward going to believe it? I felt tears welling up in my eyes. He knows fully well that it is physically impossible for him and me to conceive a child, but how did this happen? I felt even sicker to my stomach, and I just wanted to go home and go to bed.

Angela stood up slowly and disappeared for a minute as I tried to sort out what I was going to do.

I can't possibly tell Edward that I'm pregnant.

At least, not yet.

I stood up a little unsteadily from Angela's bed and walked towards the door. Angela met me in the hallway with the brown bag. "I'll take you home."

I followed her in a daze down the stairs and out of the house. I slid into her car and watched as she threw away the bag before getting in the car. I didn't say a word to her as we took off and went towards the Cullen home. It was nearing five o'clock, and I felt like I just suffered the longest day of my life. And things were still not clicking into place.

It started to rain, just as we made it to the highway. I stiffly wrapped my arm around my chest and tried to breathe regularly.

It was as if my mind couldn't comprehend this, because I just sat in Angela's car, in a stupor. I didn't try to speak, and thankfully, Angela understood because she didn't try to start any conversations either. I shuddered in horror, imaging if this situation was a little different, and it was Jessica driving me home.

I wouldn't even be out of the car before she called all her friends, Mike, Lauren, everyone.

When we neared the driveway to the Cullen home, I felt a lump form in my throat, and I tried not to cry. I sniffled and pressed my hands against my eyes. A few minutes later, just as I was beginning to lose my composure, Angela stopped the car. We were in front of the house.

"Bella, everything is going to turn out okay." I was enveloped in a hug, and I couldn't help but hug her back. "Call me, okay? It doesn't have to be tonight, but call me in a few days or so when everything is settled."

"Okay. Thank you Angela."

"You're welcome Bella."

I sent her a watery smile before getting out of her car. I waved to her goodbye and walked up the steps on the porch. I paused at the front door, trying to gather myself together, and then I opened the door.

As soon as I closed the door behind me, I was wallowing in despair. What am I going to do?

I glanced into the living room and saw Carlisle, Esme, and Jasper. The television was on and the sound was really low, but the three vampires weren't paying any attention to the television, they were staring at me. I just stared back for a second before making a mad dash to the stairs.

I damned my human abilities, namely my clumsiness, as I tripped on the stairs, but there was a firm grip on my waist from below me, catching my fall. I looked and it was Jasper. He was looking at me concerned and I just shook my head. I wanted—no, I needed him to let go of me. I struggled out of his grasp, and I saw his lips move, which only meant one thing.

He was calling Edward.

"Let go of me!" I cried out, and before I could stop myself, I said, "You're hurting me!"

Immediately Jasper was at the bottom of the stairs. A little white lie to get free. I got to my feet and continued to go up the steps. I just barely got to the second set of stairs and I was already breathless, but I kept going.

When I got to our bedroom door, Edward was standing there, waiting for me. He embraced me tightly, and after I struggled to get oxygen into my burning lungs, I pushed him away. "Leave. Me. Alone. Edward." I enunciated every word—every syllable, trying to get my point across. I walked into our bedroom and sat down on the couch, wrapping my arms around me knees.

What mess have I gotten myself into? I ignored Edward when he crouched down in front of me; I just focused on breathing and trying to find the solution to my problem. My chest ached with all the indecisions.

Should I tell Edward?

Should I keep it?

Should I take another test?

Should I be changed?

"Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella…" Edward tried wiping away my tears, but I dodged his touch, shivering from his cold.

What should I do?

What can I do?

What will I do?

How did this happen?

Is it even true?

All the unanswered questions swam through my mind, just as epiphany after epiphany hit me.

This explains it all,my illness, and my fatigue…A person can't have the flu for a few weeks. And the most obvious realization hit me, almost painfully. I didn't lose my phone…I lost my period. Obvious! It was so obvious; I don't even know why I hadn't registered this before. Maybe it's because I've been so busy planning my change that it slipped my mind.

I don't know how long I sat on the couch, how long I drifted into my own abyss, but I knew I wasn't tired, even if my eyes were drooping with fatigue and I was rocking. I tightened my grip around my knees and stifled a sob.

Everything's going to be different now. That's all I could think.

"Bella, you need to sleep."

I didn't fight this time, as Edward touched me, I don't even think I noticed, to be honest. I was stuck in my own thoughts. I did notice that there was a change in scenery, instead of staring at the wall, I was staring at pillows. I rolled onto my side, bringing my knees to my chest and wrapping my arms around my knees, trying to hold myself together.

Was this the ultimate betrayal for Edward? I was supposed to change and be with him for all eternity, and now I managed to magically conceive a child. Did he even like children? What if he didn't believe me when I told him? What if he decided he couldn't be with me, a liar, if I told him? Would he lose faith? Love?

Holy Crow!

What am I going to do?

BB/N: Yo! (That means "I" in Spanish) Thanks for the reviews, and I can't wait to update again! (That sounds a little silly)

To be honest, I wrote this chapter October 28th, 2007. Today is November 28th, 2007. What a coincidence!

Love,
