Why Edward? Why?

Chapter 14: News

Bella POV

I locked the door after I went into the bedroom. I needed to do this the way I knew I should. Locking away Edward was stage one, complete. I went to my wardrobe, pulling out the carrier bag which they'd stayed since I purchased them almost a week ago.

I was going to take the assistant's advice. Do it in private and with three of them, the ones she'd suggested and advised. I pulled out the three boxes, gazing at them in my hand.

Slowly I opened all three and read the instructions. I was bursting for a wee so this would be perfect time.

'Pee on the stick and wait exactly one minute for the PregnantOrNot? to work it's magic and examine with the results of Yes or No and if Yes, how many weeks you would be due' I read of the box. Shaking I went over to the toilet.

I had urinated on all three and had them all on the closed lid of the toilet. I also had my back to them.

There was this kind of feeling that we women had about pregnancy tests. Do we want it to say negative? Do we want it to say positive?

For the first time since we'd started trying for children, I had no idea of my answer and it bewildered me.

This was the first time I'd ever purchased and used pregnancy tests. If they did say...p-positive, then I would go to the hospital to see it confirmed. With Edward or not, I could decide later.

I was counting the minute with the tap of my foot. I hadn't realised that it had been almost ten minutes since I'd stopped tapping and daydreamed. I came out of it and slowly turned around.

I walked slowly towards the and gazed at my fate in the three sticks. It read:

Pregnant

1-2 Weeks

I could of fainted, they all said the same thing! I felt the panic coming on and tired to control it. I could not break down and etcetera. What if I lost it?

But then I thought - I didn't have the illness anymore! My hopes soared and I sank to my knees, trying to hold all the happy grief coming off me. I realised that the tears were pouring down my face and I couldn't really...see.

I heard a gentle knock knock knock - Edward's special knock.

I glanced at the clock - nearly twenty minutes since I had locked him out. I slowly go to my feet and unlocked the door with trembling fingers and ran and landed on the bed.

I was so happy! It un-nerved me.

Edward walked in and I heard him asking if I was ok. I raised a shaky hand to the bathroom. He went in and I heard a gasp.

I grinned widely at him as he walked back into the bedroom with the same happy grin on my face.

"B-Bella, I see three pregnancy tests in there - is-is it t-true?"

I slowly nodded, the grin getting wider.

I got up and ran to him, throwing my arms round his neck. He pulled me into him and held me close. We started laughing and in my case, crying. Edward seemed bewildered that I was crying.

After about ten minutes, I felt the awkwardness coming again. I couldn't stand the awful tension we had. Maybe it was just me. I thought it was just me.

Edward couldn't seem to control his emotion. He pulled my chin up to make me eye level with him. "Well done, Bella love" he breathed, his warm breath washing upon my face.

I didn't want to feel all of this hope for nothing.

"Hospital. NOW!" I growled, making my smile disappear. His faded too - his face, a mask of seriousness. "Yes, Bella."

I pulled out of the hug and straighten my jacket. My top was stained with my happy tears, my jeans were ruffled and my hair was sticking up like a hay-stack.

Sighing, I walked into the bathroom, not bothering to close the door in my wake.
