I just wanna be your ball and chain
Wrapped around your finger
Locked up, tied me down
Follow you forever
Never let you get away,
Holding on like a ball and chain
I never wanted to stay
In one place too long
Oh no, not me, I didn't wanna be
A victim of that fatal touch
When you want someone too much but
You, you'll be the end of me- Ball and Chain- B-44
Bella's POV:
Great news Jacob, Edward believed me when I told him the meeting was pushed up a few hours. Now I will be able to make Edward mine! I hope you will be able make Bella yours too! Good luck!
-T.
What? I felt as though my world was crumbling. I quickly put the phone down and stood up. However as soon as I did that I felt as though the world was spinning. All of a sudden I felt a wave of nausea hit as I ran to the sink and vomited.
"Bella, what are you doing here? Are you okay?" I heard Jacob ask as he started to walk towards me.
"Don't come near me Jacob Black!" I said as I cleaned my face with a face cloth which was on the counter. Although it felt as though there were a million of butterflies flying around in my stomach I knew I had to confront Jacob. I had to.
"What are you talking about Bella? What is wrong? Did you talk to Edward, what happened?" Jacob asked again.
I could feel my heart start to spin as I held onto the counter for balance, which caused me to worry. I didn't know why I was sick, I kept telling myself it was stress related but something in my head was telling me it wasn't.
"Bella, what is wrong with you?" Jacob asked as he started walking closer to me.
"Stop it! I don't you not to come near me!" I exclaimed as I ignored my symptoms and turned around to face Jacob.
"How could you Jacob! I thought you were my friend, I thought you came here to fix things but now I know that was a lie! Now I know everything you have ever done or said was a lie." I yelled still holding onto the counter for balance.
"What are you talking about Bella? I would never lie to you, you know that!" Jacob answered as his brows furrowed. Although he was trying to act surprised I was not buying his act.
"I know about everything Jacob."
"Know about what Bella? I'm sorry but I don't understand." Jacob answered.
I clenched my fingers tightly on the counter in rage. He was trying to pretend he had no idea what I was talking about.
"Cut the crap Jacob! I know you and Tanya have been trying to work together to break Edward and I up." I exclaimed.
All of a sudden I saw his face drop as his eyes went wide with shock. It seemed as though my words had sliced his tongue because there was a moment of silence where no one spoke.
Finally Jacob began to talk.
"What…How, did you find out?" He asked realizing that it was pointless to deny it.
I couldn't believe all he cared about was finding out, how I had found out his secret.
"That is all you can think of Jacob? You are not even sorry for what you did? I can't believe you! I can't believe I actually believed you wanted to be friends and wanted to heal my heart from the pain you put it through when we were dating. I thought you wanted me to be happy?" I cried out as all my emotion started to erupt from my body like lava from a volcano.
"I do want you to be happy Bella, but I knew you would never be happy with a guy like Edward, I mean a man like him is only interested in one thing; work. He would never make you as happy as I would. I don't own a multibillion business so I would have time to take you out and love you like a man should. C'mon Bella it's obvious, look at what happened between Tanya and Edward? Doesn't that show you Edward cannot be trusted and does not value your love?" Jacob explained.
I stood there, shocked and silent. I had no idea Jacob felt this way and I also could not believe Edward was right about him. I shook my head realizing that all of this time Jacob didn't want to be my friend, he wanted to be my lover.
"Nothing happened between Edward and Tanya, Jacob because YOU set him up! You wanted me to think that Edward was a horrible man so I would break up with him and go out with you." I cried out.
"But doesn't that show you Bella, that Edward can't be trusted. C'mon Bella you know me, I know you still love me. So the only way I could show you how awful Edward is was to bring Tanya into the picture and obviously she showed everyone what kind of man he truly is. Bella come with me and forget about Edward. You know I will treat you like a princess. You know I will love you more than Edward." Jacob said as he walked closer to me.
I closed my eyes trying to take everything all in, but it was hard when my head was spinning like a carousel. I turned around to face the sink hoping Jacob would stop walking but he didn't. All of a sudden I felt him wrap his arms around my body as he started to kiss my neck with his lips.
"What are you doing Jacob? I DON'T LOVE YOU, I LOVE EDWARD!" I yelled, trying to push him away, but he was too strong and I was too weak.
"No Bella, you love me! I know you think about my body at night. I know you want me." He said as he started to place his hands underneath my shirt. Then he started to rub my stomach and my right breast.
"JACOB STOP IT!" I cried out as the fear started to overwhelm me.
I was tired and weak, which meant there was nothing I could do to fight him off. I was afraid he was going to hurt me and I was worried Jacob wasn't going to stop until he had me. I frantically looked around and saw a frying pan on the other side of the counter. I took a deep breath, grabbed the pan, turned around and hit Jacob across the face. All of a sudden I watched Jacob's body fall onto the floor with an echoing thud. I quickly let go of the pan so I could make sure he was okay. To my relief I could still hear his pulse, which meant I had just knocked him out.
I tried to calm my breathing and my nauseous stomach by washing my face with cold water. The tears started to fall from my eyes as I leaned against the sink. I wasn't feeling well, my best friend was now a traitor and my fiancé was somewhere in Canada with an evil woman. I sighed, since when did my life become so complicated. Although I wasn't feeling well I knew, I had to find Edward. I had to. So I phoned Adam, asking where the business trip was supposed to be held, he said they were supposed to be staying at the Hilton hotel in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. When I hung up the phone with him, I tried to phone Edward again but I still could not get a hold of him. I was about to go to my house, when I felt my stomach start to ache, quickly I walked back to the sink and threw up into the stainless steel. I wiped my face with the face cloth and drove home.
I quickly packed and tried to ease the nausea in my stomach. I figured I would head to the air port, so I could find out when I could leave to Toronto. Even if there were no early flights, I would stay in the airport or find a hotel, all I knew was that I had to find Edward. As I drove to the air port, I prayed there would be a flight available for me today and I also hoped Tanya and Edward would still be at the Hilton.
Fortunately, I was able to get onto the 4:15 flight to Toronto. Although I had some time until the flight departed, I knew I should buy some gravel for my stomach. When I found what I needed, I tried to look for my wallet, which was buried deep inside my gigantic purse. All of a sudden I came across a blue pouch, which still had orange pills inside the package. I looked again at my birth control pills. There wasn't supposed to be pills still in the package.
Then I froze. I had forgotten to take my pills which meant when Edward and I had sex, we weren't protected. We didn't even use a condom. Then I realized I wasn't sick, I was having morning sickness, which meant it was possible I was pregnant. I quickly bought a pregnancy test and went into a bathroom. I followed the instructions and although I felt weird peeing on a stick, I was worried. What would I do if I was pregnant? How would Edward feel? Would I be a good mother? Would Edward and I be able to fix our relationship and handle being parents? Finally what seemed like an eternity I looked down at the stick, it was pink, which meant I was pregnant? I was pregnant with Edward's child.
I sat on the toilet staring at the pink stick. I couldn't believe I was pregnant. I wasn't even sure if I was ready to be a mother. I thought my head was going to explode due to all of the thoughts crossing my mind. I could feel my stomach start to tie itself in knots. I quickly stood up from the toilet and threw up. I couldn't wait till my morning sickness was over. I decided to swallow some gravel, buy some magazines and get ready for the flight.
Although I had thrown up a couple times on the flight, I was able to sleep for a few hours. The rest of the flight was spent with me, trying to figure out what I would do with the baby growing inside of me. I knew I was going to keep it, I was just afraid of what Edward would say. As soon as my plane landed at Pearson International airport, I grabbed a taxi and asked him to take me to the Hilton hotel. I crossed my fingers hoping they would still be at that hotel. I walked up to the front desk and asked the man what room Edward Cullen was in. At first they were hesitant but I lied and told him I was his wife and needed to know about his family emergency. Finally they told me he was on the third floor, in room 318. I thanked the man and used the stairway to get to Edward's room. I quickly found his room and sighed. Then I knocked nervously on the door.
"Bella, what are you doing here!" Edward exclaimed as his face lit up with surprise and happiness.
"Is Tanya here?" I asked trying to peer through his shoulder to see if Tanya was in the room.
"She is downstairs, getting something from the car, why? Please don't tell me you came to spy on me!" He yelled
I was tired and sick which meant I was not in the mood to deal with his crap.
"Edward please just shut up for a minute and let me talk." I demanded as I let myself into his hotel room.
I sat on the bed and pulled Edward beside me. Then I told him everything that had happened between Jacob and I. Then I told him about the business meeting.
"Are you serious? I can't believe that bitch would do that to me! I am so sorry for not believing you Bella! You were right about her this whole time and I was so dumb not to believe you! I can't believe I trusted her! I also promise Bella, that nothing has ever happened between her and I. She has tried to kiss and touch me, but I have pulled her away. I keep telling her I love you but she won't listen. I am so sorry for everything Bella, you are the love of my life and I want to spend my whole life with you." He said as he took my hand and kissed my cheek.
I smiled hearing the words coming out of Edward's mouth. It felt so good to finally hear those words.
"I am so sorry for not believing you about Jacob, I guess I hoped he had changed. I am also so sorry for not trusting you with Tanya. I was just jealous that you would find her more attractive and nicer than me. I was jealous you would leave her for me." I admitted looking into Edward's beautiful eyes...
"Bella, you are perfect and I would never leave you. I guess I thought you would leave me for Jacob, which is why I became so jealous. Bella you don't understand what it is like for me to think of another man touching or kissing you! I hate thinking of anyone but me touching you! I just want to be yours love." Edward said rubbing my hands.
"So are you still mad at me?" I asked.
"Of course not Bella, I love you too much to be mad at you. But next time, how about we both trust and believe each other?" He said.
I shook my head in agreement as I hugged Edward tightly.
"I am glad we are good Bella because I hate being mad at you!" Edward said.
"Me too!" I said.
All of a sudden I felt as though I was going to be sick again. I quickly ran to the bath room and threw up.
"Oh my god love, are you okay?" He said as he followed me into the bathroom and moved my hair away from my face.
"You don't have to be in here with me." I said feeling ashamed of my condition.
"Of course I do Bella, I will always be there for you even when you are sick… now what is wrong with you, do you have the flu? Why did you come all of this way when you are sick?" Edward asked patting my back.
"I think we should go to the doctors and get you checked out, then I will get you some medicine and you will be all better soon." Edward continued to say.
"Edward I don't have the flu." I said as I flushed the toilet.
"I'm pregnant." I said hesitantly.
"Are you serious Bella?" Edward asked with a smile on his face.
I nodded my head.
"That is amazing Bella! I can't believe we are going to be parents! Oh my god, I love you so much!" Edward exclaimed.
I stopped and stared quizzically at Edward.
"You want to be a father? You want to have a child with me?" I asked.
"Of course I do Bella! It would be a dream come true to raise our child together." He answered.
Tears of happiness started to fall as I gave Edward a hug.
"I love you Bella."
"I love you too Edward."
"WHAT THE HELL IS SHE DOING HERE?" A loud voice asked.
Edward and I quickly turned around to find Tanya standing in the bathroom door way.
