I cut him off, "But that isn't possible I'm not growing. I quit growing twenty years ago! I can't be" I took a breath then whispered "pregnant."
"I hate to break it to you sweetie but you are," he said quietly.
"Is Edward mad?Wait boy or girl? No this can't be happening to me! Jacob is going to leave me and I am going to have to give up my dreams. Wait I don't age. But what if the baby tells our secret? Rose will get another baby to help ease her will everyone say? I am not even married. When is the due date? What will Bella say? Oh My God! Does Bella know?" I spoke one hundred words a minute.
"Okay slow down you will get through this one day at a time" Carlisle stated calmly.
After I calmed down a good amount Carlisle continued "First, Edwardis not mad just a little disappointed you did not wait until you were married. Second, Bella does not know and the longer you wait to tell her she will get more upset with you. Lastly, the baby is due on September 13th."
"What are some symptomes that I could have? I don't want to be blind sided and not be prepared for it. Holy crap that sounded like Edward." I laughed along with just about every one of the vampires downstairs except Edward. I even got a stiffled laugh from Carlisle.
"You know its funny Edward!" I shouted.
"Thank you Carlisle. Guess I should go talk to Bella. I just wish Jacob was here." I took a deep breath and headed downstairs.
Each step created a new level of worry only to be increased on the next step until I reached the last step. I did not look up at anybody's face.
"She sounds like Edward and looks like Bella!" Emmett's booming laugh outpowered the others. I felt the blood rush to my cheeks.
"She even blushes like you Bella!" Jasper commented.
I was still looking down when Edward wrapped his arm around my shoulders and started walking to the door. "Bella," I jumped like a shot was fired "come with us."
I knew what was coming for me. As soon as the door shut I spoke quietly "Mom, I am pregnant."
"WHAT?" She screamed as loud as possible. It freaked me out because Bella never yelled this loud. I mean she had yelld at me many times before but right now she looked like she was going to rip my head off.
"Mom! You think I wanted this! I am not going to change what happened. Its done. I will live with the consequences!" I yelled back at her.
There was a long silence that seemed to go on forever.
"Bella, the baby is supposed to be born on September 13th," Edward said. I saw Bella smile.
"I am not going to help you once you have the baby. You will be tired and hormonal. I am going to get everyone to help as little as possible," Bella warned me.
"Okay, can we not tell Jacob yet? I don't want him to see me differently yet," I spoke with uncertainty.
"Sure sweety but eventually you will have to tell him,"Dad said as I ran to give him a hug.
"Thank you Daddy," I spoke as I showed him my appreciation of him.
I heard tires on our rocky driveway from Jake's new car. My heart started to race and I was breathing heavily. I heard the door open in the main house.
"Where is Nessie? Did she already leave for school?" he asked. I could see that he was shaking with anger towards himself. I walked in the door and his shaking stopped.
"Sorry, I was having a heart to heart with Bella. I wasn't going to leave without saying goodbye to you! I would be paranoid that something bad would happen to you while you were gone," I spoke to him as I showed him the worry I knew I would've had later today.
I rode with Edward and Bella to school. I wore my True Religion jeans with a light gray tank with sparkles everywhere. I wore a plaid longsleeve shirt and my designer cowboy boots. As I got out of the car it felt like every eye was on me.
"Hey, are you trying to mimic me 'cause it's working?"I heard the soothing voice of my mother.
"I don't know if I can do this Bella. Rumors are gonna spread and everyone is going to be mean to me. I don't want to be made fun of," I said full of worry.
"Don't worry sweetie. Just take it one day at a time. Today won't be hard no one will know if you don't give them any information. Just don't make a scene like I did with your mom the first day we were going out," Edward spoke softly so that no one could hear him except for our family.
We said our goodbyes as the warning bell rang. I walked into my first period class and I could not focus at all. Each word my teacher said went in one ear and out the other. I was distracted and since I already knew the material focus became my number one problem. My teacher did not like me because, although, I knew everything that was tought in the course, I would not pay attention to her. Ever since the first day of school, I found her voice to be annoying and nasaly as if she was constantly sick.
The minutes ticked by so slowly that I thought I would be dead before it would be lunch time. Math class drug on and on. Thanks to Edward and my accelerated growth and learning high school became a bore in a matter of days.
Finally the bell rang to release for lunch. I sat down with Hope for the first time in a while. She talked about her boyfriend Daniel and how she was going to Italy in the summer. I wanted to warn her not to go to Volterra but I got a funny look from my dad.
"Hey Renesmee, why are you holding your stomach? Does it hurt?" Hope asked with a worried tone in her voice.
"Crap, let the rumors begin," I muttered under my Religion jeans with a light gray tank with sparkles communionWeintercession of Christ
