What's this? A new chapter? Oh, yes it is. I'm sorry that it took over two weeks but I've been really busy. I know loads of people say that and you cant tell if it's true or not over the computer but I seriously have. My high school prom was last night so I've been busy getting everything for that over the last…how long, I don't know.
Anyway, I'm gonna shut up and let you read this chapter. Enjoy.
EPOV
When I woke up the next day, I was feeling really sick about having to tell Charlie about the baby. What the fuck was I supposed to say. 'Oh hey Charlie. How was work? Oh, and by the way, your daughter is pregnant with my child. What's for dinner?' That would probably get me shot.
I couldn't bring myself to get out of bed; I was terrified.
Finally, at twelve, I convinced myself to get out of bed. I made my way downstairs where my family were sitting watching TV. When they saw me, Esme smiled, Jasper nodded and turned back to the TV. Rosalie had to take the piss though.
"Hey daddy," she said condescendingly.
"Shut up Rose," I told her as I walked towards the kitchen.
"You know, when your baby comes in nine months time, you wont be able to wake up at twelve anymore. Well, maybe twelve at night, but not in the afternoon."
"I said shut the fuck up Rose."
"Actually, you said shut up. No f-bomb was dropped."
"Rosalie, leave your brother alone," Esme told her.
"Geez! He gets his girlfriend knocked-up and I'm the one that gets into trouble. If that's the way it works, imma stop taking my birth control, poke holes in all the condoms and get knocked up myself."
"That's not even funny, Rosalie Lillian Cullen!" Esme told her sternly. "Edward and Bella did not choose this and you will not hold it against them. This child will be welcomed into our family and if you can not accept that than fine, but do not hold anything against them."
"Fine," she huffed, standing up and walking upstairs.
"Thanks mom," I said as I kissed her cheek.
"You're welcome, baby. Now, go fix yourself some food." I went to walk away when she called me. "Rose was right about one thing though; you need to learn how to wake up early." I nodded and walked into the kitchen to get some food.
It was seven o'clock and my family were standing outside of the Swan's home to have dinner. My dad rang the bell and, a fraction of a second later, Bella opened the door, looking amazing.
She was dressed in a light blue lace skater dress with a white waist belt, which showed off her tiny waist and almost all of her back, and a pair of white flat shoes. Her hair was down and curly, falling to her waist just how I like it. He makeup was done simply, showing her natural beauty and she had a few light pieces of jewelry on, including the Blue Nile Diamond and platinum eternity ring I gave her on her sweet sixteenth (lets just say that left a huge dent in my trust fund).
"Hey," she said as she pecked my lips. "Come in, guys."
"How are you, dear?" my mom asked her as she gently pulled her in for a hug.
"I'm okay. I've been feeling a bit sick today but I don't know if it's because of the obvious or because what we're gonna do tonight," she said from my moms arms.
"That's understandable sweetie. When I fell pregnant with my baby boy, Masen, I was terrified of telling my parents. And I saw older than you." Bella nodded, thinking about the story Esme had told her before.
Many people didn't know but Esme was married before she met Carlisle. She was married to a man named Anthony. Anthony was in the armed forces and, while he was away, Esme found out she was pregnant. She was so excited as her and Anthony had always dreamed of having kids and she couldn't wait for Anthony to get home so she could tell him. However, before she had chance, she got the dreaded letter that no wife ever wants to have. A letter saying that her husband had been shot in an open fire while fighting for his country. Esme went into depression which caused her to loose her baby. Masen Anthony Platt was born on February 14th, stillborn. Henry's death devastated Esme and she tried to kill herself without success.
She met Carlisle at the hospital when she was on suicide watch. Carlisle was doing his residency at the hospital in Chicago and they met and fell in love, making Esme feel guilty. Everything ended up okay, however, and they got married two years later and then met my parents, Elizabeth and Edward Sr. Elizabeth was pregnant but they did not want the baby because they were both still in high school (the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree) so Esme and Carlisle decided to adopt the baby. When I was born, Elizabeth and Edward Sr. asked the I be named Edward to carry on the family line, which Esme and Carlisle happily did. They named me Edward after my biological father and grandfather and great-grandfather and so on, Anthony after Esme's first husband and Masen after Esme's baby boy.
"I know. It's just, you know what my dads like, he's such an old fashioned man. This is gonna disappoint him so much." We all nodded.
Before we had a chance to reply, Charlie walked into the hall. "Ah, Esme, Carlisle, kids, hello.
"Hello Charlie," mom said while giving him a hug, which made Charlie blush slightly.
Definitely Bella's father, I thought.
"You look lovely, Esme. As always." He was right, my mother had impeccable fashion sense, unlike most mothers in their forties.
She was wearing a blue, black and grey wrap dress with a pair of black heels. She also had a matching bag (which was extremely small). She was wearing some simple jewelry and her makeup was simple but a bit darker than Bella's. her hair was twisted up into a bun.
"Thank you, Charlie. You look dashing as always."
Charlie snorted. "I'm in jeans and a checked shirt. I do not look dashing; just ask Alice. All I've heard since I got home at six was that I should get changed because I look like I've just escaped from a jail instead of worked at one."
We all laughed. "That sounds like Alice," Jasper said as he shook Charlie's hand.
I shook Charlie's hand next and he slapped me on the back twice. Then, he shook Carlisle's hand before hugging Rosalie.
"Yes it does doesn't it," he laughed at Jasper's comment. "You look lovely Rosalie," he added.
Rosalie was wearing a pair of dark denim wide leg jeans with a baggy top and a red drape cardigan. On her feet was a pair of red pumps and she had a white bag on her shoulder. Her makeup was perfect (which was good considering how long it had taken her) and her hair was up in a curly ponytail.
"Thanks Charlie. Is Emmett around?"
"He's in the dining room with Alice setting the table," Bella informed us. "Dinner should be here in a minute."
"You didn't cook?" Rosalie asked.
"No. I didn't feel like it," Bella said, putting emphasis on the feel to make Rosalie understand what she meant.
Rosalie, thankfully, understood and nodded her head before walking into the dining room. Then we heard, "Oh my god, Alice. You look so cute!"
Jasper quickly walked into the dining room and we heard a low whistle. Chuckling, Carlisle took hold of Esme's hand and followed through to the dining room, Charlie trailing behind them.
"How are you feeling, baby?" I asked Bella as I took her into my arms.
"Uncomfortable. I just wanna get into a pair of sweats and one of your t-shirts with my three favorite guys."
"Oh, and who might they be?" I asked as I kissed her forehead.
"You, Ben and Jerry," she said with a giggle as she nuzzled her face into my chest. I chuckled and then sighed, loving the feeling of having her in my arms. After a few moments, she began to pull away. "I just heard a car door shut."
And sure enough, a second later, the doorbell rang. Bella smiled at me before walking to the door and opening it. Standing there with a box of food was Mike Newton.
"Hey Bella. Wow! You look amazing!"
"Thanks Mike. How much is that?"
"What?…Oh, um…$40."
She nodded and held a finger up before walking into the dining room. She returned a second later with some money and gave it to him. She went to get the food from his arms when I stepped forward and took it. She smiled at me lovingly and I winked at her.
We thanks Mike without taking our eyes off each other and Bella closed the door before leaning in and giving me a kiss. She pulled away and smiled again before walking into the dining room. I followed.
When I walked in, I saw Charlie, Emmett, Rosalie and my parents already seated; Charlie and Emmett at the two ends, Rosalie one side of Emmett and my mom on the opposite side next to Charlie with my dad next to her. There was two more seats on my parents side and another two on Rosalie's side. I put the food in the middle of the table and walked around to my seat. I pulled the chair out for Bella and then sat down once she was seated.
"Where's Alice and Jazz?" I asked.
"We're here! We're here!" Alice said as she walked into the living room carrying a tray of drinks while Jasper carried another tray with the rest of the drinks on behind her.
I saw the Alice was wearing a green dress that was the same color as her eyes which had a brown belt around her waist. On her feet were a pair of brown sandals. She had some brown jewelry on and her makeup was natural. She sat down on the other side of Emmett, across from Rosalie, leaving Jasper with the seat opposite me.
Without a word, we all began to dig in to the Thai food that the Swan's had ordered. We were silent for about thirty minutes, only making small talk while we ate. Finally we finished and Bella gripped onto my hand underneath the table, knowing it was time to do what we had intended to do.
"Daddy," Bella began in a small voice. Everyone else at the table was silent, only being there for moral support and nothing else. Well, except for to stop Charlie when he tries to kill me for knocking up his only daughter at eighteen.
"Yes baby. What's wrong?" Charlie asked her, worry about his only daughter clear in his voice.
"There's no easy way to tell you this, so I'm just gonna come out and say it." She paused for a few moments. "I'm pregnant!"
Just like the last time that was announced, at my house the night before, the room seemed to freeze. There was no sound for a few moments until Charlie started to laugh.
"I'm sorry," he said in between giggles. "It just sounded like you said your pregnant. Which is hilarious because you can't be pregnant." he continued to laugh while the rest of us were still frozen by shock.
"Daddy…I'm not joking. I really am pregnant!"
I watched, in what would have been amusement if I wasn't shitting myself, as Charlie's face dropped and he froze. For about ten minutes, everyone sat in silence, watching Charlie's reaction to the news we just delivered. Suddenly, almost terrifyingly fast, his eyes flickered to my face. He clenched his jaw and narrowed his eyes.
"You!" he said in a menacing voice. "You did this to my baby! I'll kill you." And he stood up and lunged at me.
Bella stood up and stepped in front of her father before he could attack me.
"Leave him alone, dad!" she told him sternly.
"Isabella, this boy has knocked you up. You are eighteen years of age! You can't be a mother! Have you not learnt from mine and your mothers mistakes?"
I said tears well up in Bella's eyes as she heard what her father said. Everyone else was shocked at the harshness of Charlie's words. Well, everyone but Charlie himself, who didn't seem to realize what he had said.
"So that's what I am?" Bella asked in a whispered, just loud enough so that the rest of us could hear her. "A mistake? Well don't worry, daddy. You won't have to put up with your mistake any longer. Or mine!" And then she stormed upstairs.
Before Charlie could say anything, Esme suggested that us kids went after Bella. We all nodded and ran up the stairs after Bella. When we got to her room, Alice warily knocked and, when we heard a faint "Come in", she opened the door and we all walked in. What I saw made me frown.
Bella had a large duffle bag on her bed and was chucking clothes into it. The others looked at me and I shrugged. Then Rosalie nodded towards Bella, indicating that I should talk to her. I rolled my eyes at them because they all looked terrified to go talk to her. I walked towards her and wrapped my arms around her waist. She leaned back against my chest and sighed. I saw tears on her cheeks so I leaned forward and kissed wiped them off with my lips.
"Baby, what are you doing?"
"I'm packing," she told me as if it was obvious.
"I can see that, babe. But why?"
"Because my own father doesn't want me so there's no point being here if he thinks I'm just a mistake."
I turned her around in my arms. "Babe, he didn't mean that. He's just upset about the situation."
"Of course he meant it. He wouldn't have said it otherwise."
I shook my head. "Your dad loves you. So much. You can see it in her eyes when he sees you or when he talks about you. You're his little girl. I mean, no you were not planned, but most of us weren't. This little baby growing inside you wasn't planned," I told her as I put my hands on her still flat stomach, "but it doesn't mean that we're gonna love him or her any less then if they were planned."
She stopped crying and nodded. "Yeah, you're right." A small smile appeared on her face. "Thank you."
I nodded. "That's what I'm here for," I told her as I held her closer to me.
"Can you stay tonight?" she asked me in a small voice.
"I don't know if that's a good idea. Your dad might smother me in my sleep. I'll ask if you can stay round mine though, okay?" She nodded. "I love you."
She looked up and smiled wider. "I love you, too." I planted a sweet kiss on her lips.
"You guys are disgustingly sweet," Rosalie commented from the door.
I had forgotten they were there. I looked up and saw the four of them standing at the door. Emmett was pretending to wipe a fake tear from his cheek while grinning. Rosalie was rolling her eyes at, whether at him or us I don't know. Jasper was smiling slightly. And Alice had tears in her eyes and her hands together, gushing about how cute we were.
"Can you guys go downstairs please? I wanna spend time with just Bella."
"Come on, Eddie. You've already made one babies, what do you want twins?" Rosalie smacked the back of his head while the rest of us stared at him. "What?"
"Okay, firstly; don't call me Eddie, secondly; we're not gonna have sex, and thirdly; do you really think that's how it works?" He shrugged. "Just go downstairs."
They finally left. Me and Bella laid down on the bed and I held her. Half an hour later, we decided to watch a film so we put The Hangover 2 on and laid on her bed. After an hour of it, Bella fell asleep with her head on my chest and I soon followed, thinking about how I loved my girl and my unborn baby, despite the fact that I was scared shitless.
Once again, I know it took long and I'm sorry, but please please please review. I had one, just one, review for the last chapter and it was really upsetting. So please review. Now I'm gonna stop 'coz I feel like I'm begging.
Love
