"Why was it kicking?" I repeated. I looked up at Edward who just shrugged his shoulders. Well that was reassuring. I could feel myself getting worked up.
"Bella, calm down. It's okay. It's just a weight inside the empathy stomach that's designed to simulate the baby kicking." Alice appeared at my window. I jumped at the sight of her. "I had a vision of you freaking out. I thought I'd come and prevent it happening in the car park." She felt the need to explain herself after scaring me half to death. Then from behind her I saw Emmett and Rosalie walking towards us arm in arm. At least some good came out of all of this.
"My rides here. I announced and stepped out of the car. I walked up to Emmett's jeep and waited for the driver to turn up. I gave up waiting after about thirty seconds and peered round the back of the car. Rosalie was stood by her BMW and Emmett was kissing her goodbye. Awwww. Wait, no, that's ewwww. Ewwwww! I decided it would be best if I didn't watch this.
Finally Emmett came and let me into the car. He had to lift me into my seat again as my bump prevented me from climbing into the car by myself. Once I was sat in the passenger seat and Emmett was sat in the driver's seat we were ready to go. As we were about to pull out of the parking spot Edward pulled up in his Volvo beside us.
"I'll see you back at the house, Bella." He smiled up at me. I stared down into his eyes and told him that I was going back to my house for something to eat.
"I'll be twenty minutes max." I said, blowing him a kiss as we drove off.
"Do I really have to watch you eat again? It's kind of freaky!" Emmett looked across at me. He had a cheeky grin on his face.
"God keep your eyes on the road! Are you trying to get me killed?" He threw his head back and laughed. I failed to see the funny side.
"I knew you'd be like this. 'Emmett don't kill me!' So funny!" Emmett was still roaring with laughter. Moron! I just closed my eyes for the rest of the journey and prayed I would stay alive.
To my surprise I actually arrived at my house in one piece. I was lifted from the truck and plopped onto the ground. I noticed that Emmett was dragging his heels as he followed me to the door. I put the key in the door and tried to ignore him. I turned the key and looked back. Emmett looked at me through his eyelashes, knowing it was the way Edward got what he wanted. I sighed knowing what he was rooting for.
"Fine then Emmett, you can go on pinball until it's time to go again." His face lit up.
"Thank you Bella!" He pushed past me and bounded upstairs to my computer. I chuckled to myself and walked to the kitchen to fix myself some lunch. I made a sandwich and found a bag of cheese and onion crisps in the cupboard. I started to eat at the table but got a bit bored of being by myself and decided to go and see what Emmett was up to. I thought that ten minutes on his own would be safe. If only I'd have known how wrong I had been. I opened the door with my half eaten sandwich in one hand and looked straight to the computer desk. That was odd, he wasn't sat glued to the screen like I thought he'd be. I panned across the room and found him sat on my bed. He had a book in his hands and was laughing uncontrollably. This made me suspicious from the start because most of the books I owned were classics not comedy ones. I edged closer trying to get a look at the cover to see what it was but his legs hid the cover. I scoured my shelves searching for the missing book but I couldn't see a gap. So I sat on the computer chair and finished my food. He carried on laughing and I just tried to ignore him, I mean at least he was entertaining himself. Then he let out this huge booming laugh that echoed around the room. Curiosity got the better of me.
"What's so funny?" I asked staring at him, with my totally innocent eyes.
"I'm just reading this hilarious book! Oh my God it's amazing!" Emmett said before turning the page and bursting into more laughter.
"What book is it? Will I have read it?" I tried to get a look at the cover again but it was still hidden.
"You could say that. In fact you wrote it!" He replied. I was confused for a second, then my eyes widened. No! It couldn't be! I looked at my bedside table. No! It's gone! The monster! I stood up and walked casually over to Emmett and sat beside him. Then when I thought he would be unprepared I lurched for it. "You're going to have to be quicker than that if you want it back." He had an evil grin across his face. I narrowed my eyes and tried again. "Ooooh. Close but not close enough. Hey, Bella, listen to this." Then he made his voice all high and squeaky, imitating a girl's voice.
"I was sooo embarrassed today. Why do I always have to be the laughing stock for everyone? At lunch. In the canteen. Worst day of my life so far! Well almost anyway. So I was queuing for my food like everyone else when Alice came up behind me and started talking to me. I got my food and walked away as usual (spaghetti is not a great choice for what happened next). Me and Alice were still talking about that supply teacher I had for Spanish. He was old and bald and a total perve. I swear I caught him looking down my shirt. Anyway, we were gabbing away and were almost at the table when I tripped over a chair. That much I can deal with I mean I spend half my life on the floor but my food went everywhere. And I mean everywhere! While I was falling to the floor I saw my tray flying up in the air just before it came crashing down all over me. I had pasta everywhere! Alice was just stood next to me with a panic-stricken look on her face. I just led there and listened to all the laughter. Edward came and rescued me by taking me to the toilets to get cleaned up. He even let me borrow his shirt that he was wearing over his T-Shirt. I will never live it down. Ha! Classic!" I was angry now. I dived onto him, reaching for my diary but I just couldn't get it. We were practically wrestling, which I found increasingly difficult with my detachable stomach! I was trying so damn hard to get it but the harder I tried the more he laughed at me. I was so wrapped up in our argument that I almost missed the doorbell. We both froze. We looked like we were playing a very weird game of twister. My leg had somehow ended up by his head and his arm went under my leg and over my arm. There was another knock and we snapped out of our trance. I snatched my diary back and walked towards the door.
"Hey Bella, you're puppy pal's at the door!" Emmett called as I slammed my bedroom door and walked away. Great! That's just what I need! Jacob – the one guy who I wanted to trust me about the whole 'Cullen' situation, and didn't! As I thought about it my anger resurfaced. He'd known me for at least ten years and he didn't trust me. He didn't even know me if he thought I'd do a thing like that.
"What do you want?" I called through the letterbox. I knew that if I looked at him he would win me over. I wanted to stay mad. He deserved it!
"Bella? Open the door please, I need to talk to you." I saw his eyes peering back through the slit.
"I don't want to talk to you." I closed the shutter and walked away. Emmett came bounding downstairs.
"I don't even know what I've done wrong. Open the door and tell me. Please Bella." Jacob sounded as though he was pleading with me. I sighed and opened the door.
"You want to know what's wrong with me? Okay then, I'll tell you. Apart from the fact that Mike Newton started a malicious rumour about me," cough, cough, "and the one person, bar my own father, who I thought would not believe it and who I believed thought highly enough of me to know that I am some low life slutty whore that sleeps with entire families, didn't come through with me. I thought you knew me better than this, hell, I thought I knew you better than this. And what are you staring at? My face is up here!" I stopped mid-rant to direct Jacob's attention away from my stomach. His eyes were fixed on it.
"You're …" He trailed off. "Where is that leech? I can smell him. Come on Cullen! Come out and fight like a man!" Suddenly he began shaking and trying to push past me. Emmett poked his head over the top of the sofa with a little white flag made from a piece of kitchen roll. I smiled despite the fact that I was still hopping mad! Jacob's shaking began to gradually slow until he was in control of it. "Where-is-Edward?" He said through gritted teeth.
"That has nothing to do with anything. You came here to see me. Not Edward. So, what did you want to say? Jesus, Jake, just spit it out!" Hormones were interfering again making me snappy and irritable. I paused for a brief second to wonder how the heck that works seen as I'm not really pregnant. Then Jacob started shouting and I had no time left to ponder.
"It has everything to do with him. Your pregnant for Christ's sake! He did this to you!" He made angry gestures towards my bump. I put my hands over it protectively.
"Actually that's where you're wrong mutt. I'm her baby daddy, you got a problem?" Emmett stood up and walked towards me. However before he got there Jacob punched him square in the mouth. Emmett didn't fall which totally surprised me as he was hit with such power it would have knocked my head clean off. Jacob started shaking again, worse than before.
"Jacob, I think you better go now. Come back when you've calmed down. Emmett don't retaliate." I stood in between the pair of them, hoping it wouldn't get any worse. Jacob ran out the door. I moved silently to the couch and sat down. "Are you okay?" I croaked, trying not to cry. Everything was going wrong.
"I'm fine. How are you?" Emmett came and sat next to me.
"Fine. Not so fine. I don't know." I put my head in my hands and let the floodgates open. I couldn't hold them back any more. Emmett didn't quite know what to do. He just kind of sat there patting my shoulder awkwardly occasionally saying 'there there' or 'it's okay'. In the end he got so concerned and called Edward.
"Bella, love?" Edward sounded worried down the phone. I just about managed a mmm-hum. "Listen, I'm coming for you. I will be there in five minutes okay. Hold on till then sweetheart. I love you." I started crying even more.
As soon as Edward pulled into the drive I ran out the door and ran to him. I stood there in his arms just squeezing him as tight as I could for what seemed like an eternity. The crying stopped and I regained the ability to talk. We went inside and waited for Jacob to turn up again.
