Thank you to all of you who reviewed! You seriously rock my face! (;
I'm trying to reply to you all...so hold your horses! I just go back from my trip like...three hours ago and I've been writing non-stop to put this baby up!
Sorry it's short! Next one will make up for it! Now...are you ready to find out if Bella's preggers?!?!
Warning: Dr. Sex-on-legs (Carlisle Cullen) makes a little appearance. ;)
Bella POV
"Bella, I swear to anything holy if you don't sit still I'm going to shove my pointy shoe where the sun doesn't shine!" Alice whisper yelled at me as we sat in the waiting room at the clinic.
I couldn't sit still though. Today, everything could change. My nerves were going haywire, and I couldn't even think straight. I had almost blew up everything last night at dinner.
After Alice and I had finally emerged from the room, my face clean of any tears, I had to endure sitting next to my possible 'baby daddy'for at least two more hours. I had felt so paranoid every time Emmett would look at me, it was as if he could read my mind. So, for half of the night, I tried to stay clear of him.
Alice kept trying to persuade me to talk to him, she said I could tell him I thought I could be pregnant. But, why tell him? In my opinion, if he knew about it, he would either deny it was his, or would want to stick around only because I could be pregnant. Neither of those seemed good to me.
I didn't need his pity.
I didn't need anyones' pity.
IfI was...knocked up, the possibility of me keeping it was slim to none. It wasn't because I was selfish, no, in fact I would give it up for adoption so he or she could have a better life than what I could provide.
Their life would be much better without me. What could a nineteen year old college student offer? I could barely keep myself alive, I wasn't going to deprive my child of having anything it wanted.
So after much debate, Alice and I had compromised. She had to spend the night and make an appointment for me at the nearest OB/GYN office, she had to keep everything a secret; even from Jasper, and if it turned out I was preggo, I was the one that had to tell Emmett. Not her, not Jasper, me.
That was why now, we were sitting here in these uncomfortable blue plastic chairs, with huge pregnant women and kids everywhere for what must have been an hour already. It felt like everyone was staring at me. I wanted to jump out of my chair and run until I was locked safely in my bedroom. But, I couldn't. I needed to know the truth.
"Bella Swan?" A nurse called, and I felt like my heart stopped beating as Alice pulled me to my feet and dragged me to where the short, plump nurse with bright red hair was standing.
~!#$%^&*
Alice POV
Bella's hand was ice cold as we both walked after the nurse into the check up room. She had insisted that I be in the room with her through everything, which almost gave the nurse and aneurysm or some crazy shit like that.
We walked inside a small, white examination room and the nurse handed Bella a gown to change into. I made myself comfortable in the chair right next to the examination table as Bella made her way behind the screen to change.
The nurse whom we learned was named, Julie took Bella's height, weight and then made her take a urine and blood sample. The whole procedure took almost half an hour, so I decided to check my Facebookthrough my phone as I waited. Nobody was online, which pissed me off and made me log out as quickly as I logged in. I threw my phone back into my black purse and huffed, crossing my arms across my chest.
"Sit tight, the doctor will be here in just a minute." Julie said, as she shut the door behind her retreating form.
Bella sighed, and plopped down on the paper covered table, biting her lip nervously. "What's wrong, B?"
"What am I going to do, Al? If I am..you know..."
I stood up and sat next to her, wrapping my arm around her waist and kissing her temple. "It's going to be okay, Bells. I'm here for you. We are all here for you, we love you no matter what."
She nodded, a tear escaping her eye and rolling down her cheeks. I rubbed her shoulder soothingly as we balled our eyeballs out.. I knew that no matter what, I would help her with anything she ever needed. She had to know that she had mine and Jasper'sfull support. Even Uncle Charlie and Sue would support her, I knew that for a fact because they both loved Bella to death. I just wish she would tell Emmett, he had a right to know also. But, I could trust Bella...and if she said she would tell him, I knew she would. It might not be today...or tomorrow..but she would tell him. I just knew it.
It brought a smile to my face to know that Joseph would probably have a new brother or sister. He needed someone to play with besides older men.
"Bella Swan?"
We simultaneously looked up as who I recognized as Dr. Carlisle Cullen came inside. His blondhair gelled back, and his bright blue eyes shinning with happiness. Dr. Cullen was Edwards father. He was young, maybe in his early forty'sor somewhere around there. He was a total D.I.L.F, when Rosalie and I had just met him we thought he was young and we were trying to hit on him. Little had we known, he was married and was going to be her future father-in-law. Embarrassing.
"Dr. Cullen!" I said, smiling brightly at him. He looked towards me, and a crooked grin lit up his perfect chiseled face. "Why, hello there Alice. How are you?"
"Fine, and you? How's Esme?"
"We're both just great, she's actually around here somewhere. Maybe you'll get to see her before you leave." He turned back towards Bella and gave her a friendly smile. "How are you Bella? You probably heard, but I'm Dr. Cullen. Call me Carlisle if you'd like."
Bella blushed and looked down, playing nervously with her hands. "I'm okay, thank you, Dr. Cullen."
He strolled towards us, with his clipboard in hand as he looked over what he had written there. "Okay, so you're here because you think you might be pregnant?"
She nodded, biting that damn lip of hers again. If it weren't because Dr. Sex-on-legs was here -yes I totally went there- I would have smacked her for doing it. Those lips were going to get pretty chapped if she kept freakin' biting it. "Yeah," she whispered in a barely audible voice.
Carlisle rolled a stool next to, Bella motioning for her to lay back and rest her legs on the stirrups. She blushed a bright tomato red, but did so anyways after I wen back to siting on the plastic chair. I held her hand as he asked her questions about her last period and such. Glancing at the clock, I noticed it was about to be noon, so I decided to send a quick text to Jasper telling him I'd be home as soon as possible.
He replied with a short, 'Miss you, love you, don't be long'.
Man I loved that man to death.
As I saw Bella lying there, getting ready to check if she was going to be a mother in a few months, I couldn't help but wonder how it would be to have a baby of my own. I knew that I wanted to have kids with Jasper, but first I wanted us to get married and I wanted to finish this last semester of college. Bellas' situation was complicated, but I was excited, both for her and Emmett. They would make a great couple I could just tell that one day they'd end up married. It wasn't hard to see that they were either already in love or slowly starting to fall for each other.
Them two with Joseph and possibly this baby, would make a picture perfect family.
"...turn off the light?"
I blushed as I noticed Carlisle had asked me a question. "Excuse me?"
"Can you get the light? I need the room dark." I nodded, skipping to the light switch and flipping the lights off as a big screen on the opposite wall turned on. He turned to Bella and told her she would feel a little pressure.
Bella POV
I closed my eyes tight when there was pressure in my lower lady parts. This was so embarrassing. The long metal wand was really cold and uncomfortable. I squeezed Alice's hand and then the sound of water came on.
Dr. Cullen was a handsome man, I knew that he had to be Edwards father because they looked really alike. They had the same chiseled jaw, except his eyes were blue, and Edwards were green.
"Okay...lets see here," I opened my eyes and noticed Dr. Cullen was looking towards my right side. I looked over and saw that the ultrasound was connected to a projector that showed everything on the wall. Making it bigger and easier to see.
I couldn't tell anything apart, everything was black and gray and fuzzy. I scrunched my eyebrows trying to see anything that would resemble a baby, but nothing seemed to pop out.
There was a small white dot on the bottom right hand side and it was blinking really fast. "So...?" I asked, crossing my fingers on my free hand. Please, no. Please.
Dr. Cullens' face broke out into a huge smile, and I felt my heart instantly drop into my stomach. "Congratulations! You're right about nine weeks pregnant."
My sight went blurry and I could only hear a horrible cry. I didn't realize it was me until Alice hugged me and rubbed my arm, whispering everything was going to be fine, over and over again. I held onto her as if I let go she would disappear and leave me alone. "Bella, you have to calm down. You're going to put stress on the baby."
I couldn't calm down though. Everything seemed to be shaking and I felt like I was having an out of body experience. I was going to be a...mother in just seven months.
Oh god. Seven months.
"Alice...I-I can't do th-this." I sobbed into her black coat.
She helped sit me up, placing her hands on my cheeks, she lifted my face until I was starring straight at her. "Yes. You. Can. You have us, all of us to help you out. You can do this Bella."
I nodded my head, though I didn't believe it for a second. I would suck as a mother. I was a failure, my child would be so messed up, it wouldn't even be funny.
But, having someone that came from Emmett did make it sound a little bit better. I just hoped that my baby would look like his or her father, my looks were definitely not the greatest.
Before I knew it, Dr. Cullen walked back in holding some shiny pieces of paper in his hands.
Wait, when did he leave?
He took a seat on the stool again and handed me the paper, which turned out to be the ultrasound pictures. "These are the first pictures of your baby, Bella. Now, I you are both healthy, you will need to pick up some pre-natal vitamins and take them daily, your weight is a bit low, but I'm sure it'll come up soon so don't go around dieting!" I only nodded, still mesmerizedby the small peanut figure on the pictures. "Now, you can go change and just make an appointment with Julie for next month. That's all, again, congratulations."
I looked up at him, and smiled shyly as I stuck out my hand to shake his. "Thank you, Dr. Cullen."
He just nodded and walked out, giving me some privacy to change.
After wiping my tears and changing back into my jeans and ratty sweatshirt, Alice and I walked to the receptionist and made the appointment and grabbed the prescription fro the pre-natal vitamins.
"Are you okay?" Alice asked as we found my red Chevy cobalt in the parking lot, since Jasper had taken her car back home last night.
I unlocked the doors and just stood there, starring at the slightly cloudy sky that was starting to let the sun shine through.. After a few seconds, I looked back to see Alice starring at me with a small smile at her lips and I couldn't help but return it. "You know what? I am. I'll be okay, mybaby is going to be okay," I climbed inside the drivers side and shut my door as she did the same. "Nobody is born ready to be a mother, and I'm not perfect, not will I ever be. But, I'll be damned if I'm not the best mother I can be to my baby."
I placed a hand on my still flat stomach, and turned on the engine with my other hand. "Everything is just fine. I love you, peanut."
And it was true, he or she was now my world. I knew it from the moment I looked at those pictures that I would do anything for my baby. I'd kill for my peanut if it was necessary.
Now you just have to tell the father.
I sighed, knowing it was inevitable since I had already promised I would. Easily gliding out of the parking lot, I turned to Alice who was looking out the window. "How should I tell him?" I whispered, looking back out the front windshield.
From the corner of my eye, I saw her smiling brightly. "I have just the plan!"
Do you hate me? If you do I understand. Many of you didn't want her to be pregnant...but what can I say?
Okay, so now that it's out there....I need baby names! Thank you to those of you who already left some! A couple of them were AH-MAY-ZING! I will putting them up for vote.
But for now...what should Bella and Emmett's 'peanut' bea...BOY or GIRL!? VOTE NOW on my page!
Love you guys!
