AN: REALLY IMPORTANT!!!! Alright everyone needs to go to my profile if you haven't heard anything about Comic-Con for New Moon! Seriously it's amazing!
Okay now with that said you all can go ahead and read!
Previously On If No One Will Listen:
He was looking down at the paper with wide eyes and his mouth slightly open and then his head shot up and he looked around for what I'm guessing Bella. When he didn't see her he quickly turned around with the damn paper still clutched in his hand. I turned around to see everyone looking pretty much how I looked- pale and with raised eyebrows.
What the hell just happened?
Chapter Seventeen
Um… Yeah, About that…
When I got back to my room all I could do was smile. I actually told James that he had gotten me pregnant. It was something that I'd wanted to tell him ever since I got the results from the pregnancy test. I plopped down onto my bed feeling content with myself which I hadn't felt in awhile.
A knock at the door pulled me from my thoughts and I went to open it, and just as I pulled the door back with a smile I was pretty much mauled over. "What the hell?" I cried as I watched everyone storm in.
Alice turned to me hastily and started tapping her little high heeled shoe at me. I couldn't help but grin at the sight. "Yeah Bella, what the hell?" she asked as I saw everyone turn to me with peculiar looks written across their faces.
"What?" I asked with a small shrug.
"What were you talking about with James?" I heard Blake's voice rasp out. I smiled slightly and then sighed as I walked back over to my bed.
I waved a hand at them, "Oh nothing!"
"Bella, this isn't funny!" Emmett boomed out.
I sat down on my bed and with a small smile I said, "Seriously its fine, and I bet you that we won't have to deal with-" Just as I was about to continue with my explanation there were three loud bangs on the door.
When no one moved to answer the door I got up with another sigh and opened the door, only to reveal a disheveled James. I took one look at him and then down at his hand to see him still clutching onto the ultrasound picture.
"You have a lot of nerve coming here!" I heard that velvety voice spit out. I turned back to everyone and saw them all glaring at the man at the door.
I saw Edward pretty much using all his strength not to lunge at the guy, "Hey, breathe." I said easily and then turned back to James who was now glaring at his shoes. Obviously he didn't want to be here. "Okay, I'm guessing you want to talk?"
He nodded as he swallowed, "Yeah," he rasped out as he continued to look down at the picture in his hand.
"You cannot-" I heard Emmett start; I held up a hand behind me and effectively stopped his rant.
"Alright." I said and I think I actually heard everyone's breathing stop. I started to follow him out when I felt a hand on my arm. I turned back to see Edward starring at me with fear written all over his face.
"You're not going with him," he said through clenched teeth. I placed my hand on his and then smiled lightly.
"Yes I am." I stated and then pulled on his arm. "You can come…" I looked back at James who was leaning on a wall a few feet down.
Edward's face hardened slightly, "Bella, you aren't going."
"Yes I am." He was about to fight me on it when I placed my hand over his mouth. "You can either go with me so I can finish this thing with James once and for all or I'll get Blake, Emmett, Jasper, or Chris to do it with me." His eyes looked into mine intently and after a second he nodded slightly.
I smiled again and grabbed his hand and started to move down the hallway and towards the common area. James continued to look down at his shoes while Edward and I trekked slowly behind him. Once we stopped in the empty room his head rose and he looked at me as he swallowed again.
"Is… I- did this… what happened?" he finally croaked out.
I sighed slightly and squeezed Edward's hand slightly and he returned it by rubbing circles over mine. "I was three months and six days in when I woke up covered in blood." I could see James' teeth clench when he heard this information. "Don't worry James you're off the hook."
James shut his eyes tightly and took a few deep breaths through his nose. Once he looked back at me his eyes seemed to be almost glistening, "Um… is it… okay if I keep this?" he asked while he motioned to the ultrasound photo.
As I pursed my lips I couldn't help but nod. "Yeah, go ahead. I've got two more back in the dorm…" He nodded and without another word he turned and walked towards the elevators.
"You gave him an ultrasound picture of your baby?" Edward whispered as he clutched onto my hand. I turned towards him and looked up into his shinning green eyes. His bronze hair was slightly in his eyes so I stood on the tip of my toes and brushed the strands of hair away as his eyes searched mine for some answer.
"I saw the picture just sitting between two of my books and I started to look at it. Chris and Jenny came in and I quickly stashed it into my back pocket… and then we went to the dining hall before I could put it away. When James started to walk up to us… I just knew that I had to give it to him. I mean he did- I mean I thought in some sick way that he deserved to know that he would have been a father…"
Edward nodded slightly and brought a hand up to cup my cheek and I couldn't help but lean into it. My face was just inches from his seeing as I was still standing on my tippy toes. Edward started to trace my jaw bone. "Bella," he whispered as he leaned in closer to me.
I swallowed the lump in my throat as I continued to stare into his emerald eyes. "Edward, do you remember when I told you what happened to me?" I asked quietly. Edward leaned a little bit away out of confusion.
"Yeah?" he said sounding unsure of himself. I felt as if he was about to move away from me so I placed a hand on cheek and pulled him closer to me. I looked up and saw his eyes slightly wide from shock.
"Well I just… I wanted to apologize."
"For what?" he asked, his breath fanning on my lips.
My tooth took hold of my bottom lip as I looked between his eyes and his pink lips that I knew from experience were soft. "I never really got to tell you that-" I was about to continue when I heard Emmett's voice from down the hall.
Reality took a hit and I tore away from Edward and then I looked towards the voice only to see Emmett and the rest of the guys clambering down the hall. When they saw Edward and me- we were both now four feet away from one another- all their faces showed relief.
Fifteen minutes later I had finished telling everyone that I informed James about me being pregnant. Everyone kept nodding and once I finished we settled down and watched a movie. The movie seemed to just fly by and before I knew it everyone was leaving and it was just me and Jenny sitting on our beds.
We were laughing and joking when there was another knock at the door. Jenny gathered up and jogged slightly to the door only to reveal Edward. "Hey…" he said in slightly quiet voice.
Jenny looked back at me with a raised eyebrow as I stared at Edward's face. She sighed and then turned and walked back to her nightstand where she got her phone.
"Well, what do you know… Chris just sent me a message. I hope you guys don't mind, but I'm gonna have to leave this little party." Jenny moved towards her desk and grabbed her jacket and then moved to the door and passed Edward. "Have fun kids!"
Edward closed the door and then he looked back at me. "Hi," he breathed out.
