Chapter Eight-
My shower was fan-freaking-tastic. I loved being clean. I know that's a little weird considering the whole nursing career path and all but what can I say. Once I was done I went and grabbed some clothes. Since I needed to go to the grocery store down the block, I figured I wouldn't dress in rags today. I squeezed my ass into a pair of skinny jeans and a cute sleeveless shirt.
After getting dressed I saw that I had about 20 minutes to kill before I needed to head out for the day. I grabbed my ipod and started looking for some new songs. I bought a couple from Jessie J and Adele but nothing else really stood out to me today.
I grabbed my purse and went outside to call a cab. I was getting better and better at this the longer I lived here. Twenty minutes later I finally arrived at the clinic. I hated traffic with every fiber of my being. It made my cab ride all that much more expensive. It also made me late a lot of the time.
There had been a couple times when I went to meet Alice that I was late because I figured "oh five miles away, I can get a cab 10 minutes before I need to arrive". Yeah that wasn't the case and Alice chewed my ass out!
At least I was on time for my appointment. It wasn't like doctors didn't always run late right?
I walked into the door and found the receptionist's desk easily. I informed her that I had an appointment with Dr. James and she handed me a clipboard with some papers to fill out. Once I was finished with them I sat quietly looking through my phone. Waiting was the worst part of everything.
"Isabella Swan?" I heard a nurse call. I stood up and walked over to her.
"Just Bella please."
She gave me a warm smile. "Alright. I'm Jennifer. Bella, I need you to pee in this cup. Set it in the little box when you're finished. I will meet you in exam room two once you're done." She said as she led me to a bathroom.
I always hated having to get physicals. Soon I would have to go for my "Woman's" visit which was completely dreaded. Until then I was hoping could give me a refill. I had run out a couple of weeks ago and needed some more since I had moved out of state.
After I was finished pissing in a cup I went to exam room two. I knew I was going have all the fun stuff happen like weight and blood pressure.
Once Jennifer was done she gave me a gown to change into. I sat in the exam room until I heard a knock at the door. In strolled a middle aged woman with blonde hair and brown eyes. She was about an inch shorter than I was.
"Hi Isabella. I'm Doctor James. It's nice to meet you." She said as she gave me her hand to shake.
"It's just Bella and it's nice to meet you as well." I said with a smile.
"Well Bella, it says here that you need a refill on your birth control script, a physical and PPD skin test. Is that correct?"
"Yup. That about covers it." I said
"Okay well the nurse is doing your urine test now. While we're waiting for that, I'm going to do your physical."
With that she checked my ears, nose, and throat. She also listened to my heart and looked at my skin for any moles that looked suspicious. When she was finished she told me she was stepping out of the room to look at my urine test. She said to get dressed as she was going to have some blood drawn.
Getting dressed was quick and easy as always. As soon as I pulled my shirt back over my head, I heard a knock at the door.
"Come In." I called.
walked through the door with a look on her face. I mean do doctors ever really have a happy look when they come to talk to patients? Not the ones I had had experience with but she defiantly looked different from when she walked out of the room.
"Bella, have you been sexually active since running out of birth control? Have you used back up protection?" She asked.
I immediately thought back to my night with Edward. He used a condom though right? I mean we weren't that stupid that night. I remember him saying something about being clean. Holy fuck we didn't us a condom. There would be no other reason so say that if he had. God damn it. Had he lied? Or maybe thought he was clean and wasn't. I swear to god if this mother fucker gave me a STD I was gonna bitch slap his ass. God how could I have been so stupid. How did I not make him use a condom? Was I really that drunk?
"Bella?" Doctor James asked pulling me out of my inner monologue.
"Yes. One night. Um, about 3 weeks ago." I said looking down at my feet. I was so ashamed of myself. I had always been a stickler about protection and now I had something. Hopefully it was an easy one to cure. "So what do I have?" I asked.
She gave me a confused look. "What do you mean?"
"I have a venereal disease right? That's why you're asking about my birth control habits."
She gave a small laugh. "You don't have and STD Bella." She gave me a sympathetic look as I let go of the breath I must have been holding in.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to renew your prescription for you though."
"Why not?" I asked almost panicked. I needed birth control if I planned on being in a relationship. Or even a "benefits" relationship because apparently Edward and I weren't smart as it was.
"Bella your urine test came back positive. You're pregnant." With those two last words my world felt like it came to an end.
