Chapter 16
The last thing I remembered was flying through the windows. The next thing I knew I heard Edward screaming at Carlisle to change me. WHY??? I wasn't dying, was I? NO! I couldn't be! I tried to open my eyelids and finally succeeded. When I got them open, Carlisle and Edward were looking at me, Edward was in the bed beside me and Carlisle was standing on my other side.
"Bella? Bella can you hear me?" Carlisle said.
"Yes, I can hear you, where am I?" I said, finally taking in my surroundings.
"You are in the hospital Bella. You received a concussion and some severe lacerations from going through the windows. I bandaged you up and you have been unconscious for 6 days now. Everyone has been here waiting for you to wake up" Carlisle explained to me.
Edward let out a sigh of relief and kissed me softly on the lips.
"Hi Bella" Edward mumbled to me, not opening his mouth.
"Edward? Are you ok? What is wrong with your mouth?" I asked.
Before Edward could tell me, Carlisle explained. "Tanya broke Edward's jaw when she punched him and she broke his wrists too. We had to band his jaw closed to heal but we should be able to remove the bands in a few weeks. Until then, talking will be painful to him and is highly NOT recommended" Carlisle added on, looking sternly at Edward. Edward tried his best to look innocent and Carlisle and I laughed.
"What are you guys laughing at?" Emmett's voice broke through from the doorway. I looked up to see everyone standing there. "You know you can't have any fun unless I am involved in it."
That made us all laugh and everyone came into the room, taking turns hugging me and telling me how much they were worried. I felt overwhelmed by love and sadness and joy all at the same time.
"When can I go home Carlisle?" I asked. I hated hospitals.
"Well, we need to run some tests and there is something I need to speak to you and Edward about alone too…" Carlisle began.
"What? Is everything ok? Are we ok?" I asked while Edward mumbled something as he was getting up off the bed.
"Well yes, everything is ok, or will be and all of you are ok" Carlisle said, being vague. Wait…all of us?
"What do you mean all of us? What are you talking about Carlisle?" I asked, beginning to feel nauseous.
"It would be best to speak to the two of you alone…" Carlisle began.
"NO! We are all a family here and we don't keep secrets! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?" I demanded, getting angry.
"Bella, calm down" Jasper said as he pushed a calming wave towards me but I fought it off.
"TELL US NOW CARLISLE! WHAT IS WRONG?" I demanded, trying to sit up and get out of bed but Esme was suddenly beside me holding my shoulders to the bed.
"FINE!" Carlisle yelled and surprised us all. "Fine, I will tell you as long as you calm down."
"Ok, I am calm and waiting" I said through clenched teeth.
Carlisle shot a look at Jasper who just shrugged his shoulders.
"Ok, it is very soon and I would not know if we didn't have your blood tested and everything and remember that anything could happen with it being this early and I am going to have to run tests to make sure everything is ok given the trauma you have experienced and monitor you to see how you handle it…" Carlisle rambled and Rosalie nudged him while Emmett and Alice snickered.
"Get on with it Carlisle or I will help Bella up…" Rosalie threatened playfully.
"Ok," Carlisle said, taking a deep and unneeded breath. "Bella, you are pregnant."
"WHAT!?" I screamed while Alice jumped up and down squealing, Esme kissed me on the head and whispered her congratulations, and Rosalie's mouth was hanging open. Edward looked paler than he ever was as a vampire and Jasper was eying him carefully.
Emmett was the only one who seemed able to speak. "GO EDDIE! Damn boy! Becoming a man and a daddy all at once! That is definitely killing two birds with one stone! Way to…" Emmett boomed but stopped suddenly as Edward's eyes rolled back into his head and he fell over. Jasper caught him and picked him up. Then he laid him down on the other bed in the room that I just noticed.
"Edward!" I screamed out, trying to get up but Esme held me to the bed as Carlisle went to check on Edward. He retrieved some smelling salts and waved them under Edward's nose. Edward started to stir and finally opened his eyes.
"Edward, are you ok?" Carlisle asked as he helped Edward sit up.
"Uh huh" Edward said.
"Do you remember what happened" Carlisle asked him.
"Uh huh" Edward nodded. "Bella's pregnant." Edward got up off the bed and came over to mine. He sat down on the bed and touched my fingers with his.
"Edward, are you ok with this?" I asked him, tears welling up in my eyes. What if he wasn't?
Jasper stepped forward and whispered to me said, "He is Bella; he is just processing it all. I feel the joy building inside him."
"Edward?" I asked again, tears streaming down my face even though Jasper could feel the joy.
Edward looked up at me and he has a huge smile on his face. I noticed a tear escape from one eye and roll down his face. "Bella, I love you" he said softly. "I am going to be a dad…"
Everyone laughed softly as he finally said it out loud and I leaned forward to kiss his lips softly. I was going to be a mom. I was going to be a MOM!
"Wait a second here" Rosalie said suddenly and we all turned to look at her. "Didn't you see this happening Alice?"
We looked at Alice and she was looking at the floor, her hands behind her back, and was swaying side to side.
"Ummm…" Alice said.
"ALICE!" Esme scolded her. "You knew and you didn't say anything???"
"What were you thinking?" Rosalie demanded, crossing her arms over her chest and glaring at Alice.
"HEY!" Alice shouted. "Don't get mad at me! I saw Bella pregnant but I didn't know when it would happen. Besides, I was too busy working on the wedding I saw!" Alice's hands flew to her face and covered her mouth at the new revelation.
"WHAT???" I asked my throat suddenly dry. She had seen my wedding and was already working on it?
"Whoa! Becoming a man, a father, and a husband all at the same time???" Emmett said suddenly. "Damn Edward! You are the MAN!"
That was enough to break the tension and make all of us laugh suddenly.
"Bella, if you don't mind, I am going to go get some tests ordered, mainly a CAT scan and some more blood work. I am also going to get you some prenatal vitamins to start taking. Will you excuse me?" Carlisle said and I nodded my approval. He left the room and the girls erupted with planning.
"Ok Bella, when do you want to get married? All I need you to do is pick out the dress, your exact flowers, and your cake. I already saw that it is going to take place in Forks at our old house. So? Before or after the baby is born?" Alice started in on me.
"Ahhh, the old house would be lovely for the ceremony and reception. It is big enough to hold everyone. I will need to call some cleaners to go tidy up and dust everything" Esme said, mostly to herself as she walked out of the room, removing her cell phone on the way.
"Bella, I can't believe you are going to make me an aunt!" Rosalie said happily. "And can Alice and I be your bridesmaids? I am sure that Jasper and Emmett will be Edward's groomsmen. And we can have the ceremony at dusk…"
"WAIT!" I yelled, trying to process everything that was being said. Everyone looked at me. "This is something Edward and I need to discuss. Can you all give us a minute?"
"But…" Alice started but was stopped by Jasper who took her hand and pulled her out of the room. Emmett and Rose followed them and closed the door behind them.
"Edward, are you sure you are ok with all of this?" I asked him.
"Yes Bella, you have made me the happiest man in the world" he said softly. He sounded like he was in pain.
"Edward, are you in pain?"
"I am ok Bella."
"You sure?"
Edward nodded and said "Yes."
"Ok, do you want to wait to get married, until after the baby? I mean, what if I lose it?"
"No, you won't. Alice would have said something."
"Ok, so, before or after?"
"That is up to you, you decide."
"I would like to do it before. It doesn't matter to me if it is today, tomorrow, or 10 years from now, as long as you want me to be your wife, I will be. I will always say I do to you."
Edward smiled and said "Can we wait until I can talk better and am not in casts?"
I laughed at the thought and smiled and nodded. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him softly, trying not to hurt him.
"How about this fall? We can ask Carlisle how long it will be until you are out of the casts and can talk again. I would also like to not be all bandaged up."
A soft knock interrupted us and Carlisle entered the room.
"To answer your questions, Bella, the stitches should come out in 2 weeks, I made sure to make them small to prevent as much scarring as possible. Edward, if everything heals right, your jaw should be able to be unbanded in about 3-4 weeks. The casts are another story. I will have to see how your wrists heal. If they heal enough I will remove the casts and place you in braces. I say about 6 weeks until you are are out of the casts and can speak Edward. Bella, all the lacerations should be healed in about 3-4 weeks. I have to keep the stitches in long enough for the wounds to close and start to heal."
"Thank you Carlisle" I said, smiling at him.
"Ok, here is your prenatal vitamin, the nurse will be in shortly to draw some blood and then I will take you for your CAT scan to check the swelling from the concussion" Carlisle said as he handed me the pill and a glass of water.
The nurse came in and drew 3 vials of blood, god I hate needles. Then Carlisle took me for my CAT scan. When I returned to the room, Alice, Rosalie, and Esme were in there badgering Edward with questions about the wedding.
"Aww guys, come on! Don't overwhelm him!" I said playfully.
"Thank you" Edward said and smiled lightly at me.
"Ok, let's get to planning" Alice said and the demented pixie started in on me.
* * * * * * * * * *
The next 3 weeks were filled with Edward and us heading home and starting to heal. I got my stitches out and Carlisle was surprised to see that Edward's breaks were almost completely healed. He attributed it to some leftover vampire abilities. Edward was able to get the bands removed from his jaw and he even got the casts taken off after only 4 weeks but had to wear braces on both wrists to support them.
I started to develop morning sickness; well, all day sickness was more like it. I was throwing up about 4 times a day and the smell of food made me nauseous. The only thing I could manage to eat and keep down was dill pickle potato chips with caramel sauce. Edward turned his nose up every time I ate it but it tasted so damn good.
Alice was in overdrive with the wedding plans and Rosalie was busy buying baby necessities. I think she was happier than I was about the pregnancy but I was probably just hormonal. I felt sorry for Jasper having to endure my mood swings. He ended up going out hunting a lot. Edward and I had decided on September 5th for the wedding, it was going to be a Saturday evening ceremony.
Esme and I had been working on the guest list and decided that everyone in Denali would be invited, of course Charlie and Renee, Angela and Ben (they had gotten married a few years ago and Angela and I still talked occasionally through phone calls and emails), Mike and Jessica (they were also married and had several kids), and Tyler and Eric and other friends from back in Forks.
Esme reminded me that I needed to call Charlie and tell him about the wedding and that he was going to be a grandpa. I dreaded the phone call and his reaction. I tried to put it off as long as I could but seeing as how it was the middle of July and the wedding was only a little over 6 weeks away I realized I couldn't delay it anymore.
I went to my room, opened my cell phone, and dialed Charlie's number. It rang only twice before Charlie picked up.
"Hey Bells! How are you? I haven't heard from you for a little while. What's up?" Charlie said cheerfully.
"Well" I began. "I have some news for you…" I said, still deciding how I would just come out and say that I was pregnant and getting married.
"What's that?" he said, a hint of uncertainty coming into his voice.
"Well, you see…" I began. "Dad, I will be coming home soon."
"Is everything ok Bella?"
"Yeah, but there is something I need to tell you."
"Ok…"
Here goes nothing. "Dad, I am getting married on September 5th and I'm pregnant."
Silence filled the line.
Ok, what did you think? How do you think Charlie will react? What is going to happen from here? You will have to read to find out.......
