Eyes Like Yours

Chapter Seven - I'm gonna Ralph

One month later

My father had been right; I did like Alice. Actually, I'd grown quite fond of the little pixie. She shone a light into everyone's life, and that now included mine. It truly would be hard to say goodbye to her when the time came for me to leave.

I'd never had any real girlfriends in my life, and I could honestly say that even though I had only known her for a month, she probably was the closest friend id ever had. She had said from the beginning that we would be best friends, and now, I really did respect that.

She had introduced me to her family too. And what wonderful people they were. Alice came from a rich family, and I'd always thought that money made people more stuck up, but once I'd met her family, I admitted that I was so wrong. They were some of the kindest people id ever had the privilege of meeting.

Her father, Carlisle, was a very successful doctor who had travelled all over the world doing his job, but had finally settled with his family in Forks 8 years ago. Her mother, Esme, was an interior designer who ran her own company. She was so kind and had a heart of gold. She was absolutely everything you would ever want in a mother.

And of course there was her older brother Emmett. He was a hoot and a half and so much fun. Then there was the extended family that consisted of Emmett's new wife Rosalie, and also Jasper, who was Rose's younger brother and Alice's boyfriend.

I was so glad to have met them.

I'd been spending as much time as possible with Charlie too. We'd spent thanksgiving day with each other, and then after lunch he'd taken me down to the reservation to meet his friends Harry Clearwater and Billy Black. I'd also met Harry's children Leah and Seth, and his wife Sue, who was a delight. The same couldn't be said about Leah though. She'd held her nose up at me almost the whole time I was there. The girl just didn't seem to like me.

I didn't let it worry me though, and Alice did mention that the girl seemed to have an attitude problem with just about anyone. So it wasn't just me she wanted to spit on.

This morning I was heading out for a girls only brunch at the country club with Alice, Esme and Rosalie. I'd never been to country club before; I was actually surprised that Forks even had one. But Forks had surprised me quite a lot. It definitely wasn't as bad as I'd first thought it was going to be. Port Angeles was even better, and it didn't take that long to drive there, so when Alice wasn't working, we spent quite a bit of time shopping and lunching in Port Angeles.

Alice came over early to help me pick a nice outfit for our brunch. I couldn't just wear a pair of jeans and a singlet. She chose a black skirt and a white blouse that fit my curves just right. Alice had a huge affect on my fashion sense since I'd met her. She'd pick me out a new outfit nearly every time we went to the mall.

When we arrived at the club, Esme and Rosalie were waiting and had already ordered a nice breakfast spread. There was fruit salad, pancakes, muffins, toast, along with Juice and coffee. Esme had also organised a bottle of champagne. It all looked delicious.

While we ate, we engaged in easy conversation. Rosalie got back into the story of her wedding, that had happened only a week before I'd arrived here. Alice insisted that she and Jasper would be the next down the aisle.

"Well, its not like Edward is going to get married, so of course it will be you" Rose laughed at Alice as she took a sip of juice. "He's yet to met a woman that has the power to keep him interested or satisfied. He's too in love with single life," she stated.

"He just needs to find someone that stimulates his mind, and not just his body," Alice huffed at Rosalie. "He just hasn't found the right woman yet. He needs to get rid of the bimbo's and find someone just as smart as him," she went on.

"Edward? That's your other brother, isn't it?" I raised an eyebrow at Alice. Apparently she had another brother, who was an intern or a resident or something along those lines, at a hospital in New York.

"Yea, that's him," Alice nodded. "It's too bad you didn't get to meet him though. You would be perfect for him," she giggled.

I just laughed at her. I'd learnt that she had a very over-active imagination.

"Speaking of Edward, did you call him last night mum?" Alice looked at her mother.

"Yes, I did," Esme frowned. "Just like the last few times I've spoken to him, he was extremely quiet. It seems that since he got back to New York, he hasn't sounded himself," she explained.

I watched as Alice gently pat Esme's hand. "Don' worry mum, I'm sure there is nothing wrong. You know how serious he is about being a doctor. He's probably just stressed out a little. He's been working very hard," she said.

And that was that. Talk about the other brother ceased, and we went into a round of girl talk.

We'd probably been munching away for almost half an hour when I started to feel queasy. My stomach was gurgling as the food I'd eaten started to swish around my stomach. It was so loud, the girls looked up at me in surprise. My mouth went dry then; I knew what that meant. It had actually happened a few times over the last couple days.

"Oh god, I think I'm gonna Ralph," I said as I covered my mouth and fled from the table.

"Bella," I heard Alice calling from behind me.

I wasn't about to stop and speak to her though. If I didn't get to the bathrooms soon, I was going to puke everywhere.

As I retched over the side of the toilet bowl, Alice stood behind me, rubbing my back and trying to sooth me with calming words. She jumped up and grabbed a paper towel, handing it to me, so that I could wipe my mouth.

"That is so disgusting," I cried as I flushed the toilet. I think I was done.

"Are you sure you're feeling okay Bella?" Alice helped me up from the floor. "You haven't really looked yourself these last few days," she pointed out, worried.

"Its probably just a bug or a flu or something," I answered her. But the word 'something' continuously echoed through my head.

I didn't want to think about what that something could be. Because truthfully, the thought just scared the fucking shit out of me.

And I refused to think about Anthony and how he had contributed to this something. But there goes that down the drain, because I just thought about him. I hadn't told Alice about him either. I didn't want her to think that I was a slut who slept around with random men. But if my fear was about to spring to life, then I was going to have to tell someone about what happened. And it looked like Alice was going to be that person.

Right then and there, I turned into a blubbering mess. "I done something really stupid," I cried.

"Oh my god Bella, what did you do? You're starting to scare me," Alice cried back at me.

I opened my mouth and let out a shaky breath; trying to prepare myself. "I spent the night with this guy…….and we were way to preoccupied and didn't even think to use condoms……..but I'm on the pill and thought it was going to be okay….," I rambled.

Alice was silent. She opened her mouth and made the shop of an 'O' with her lips. She reminded me of a goldfish. If I wasn't so traumatised right now, I would have laughed at her.

"But it looks as though things aren't going to be okay," I closed my eyes and hung my head.

All this thinking was starting to hurt my head, and I could feel a migraine coming on. I just wanted to go to sleep and forget about everything.

"You're pregnant?" Alice finally managed to say something.

"I'm not sure. But I could be," I sighed.

Alice was standing up straight with one hand on her hip. "Well….crap," she slumped down.

I scoffed. Crap? Oh man, I was in so much more than that.

Alice took me back to back to her apartment that she shared with Jasper. She promised me that Jasper was at work, so we would have some privacy. She'd demanded to know every detail.

On the way, we stopped at the store and grabbed one of every pregnancy test they had on the shelf. Not that there was many. Only three.

Once we got to the apartment, Alice gave me a bottle of water and pushed me into the bathroom so that I could pee on three sticks.

After I'd done that, I sat them on the counter and left them to come to their decision. I left the bathroom and came face to face with a determined Alice. She was tapping her foot and had her arms crossed across her chest.

"Spill. Tell Auntie Alice everything," she said to me.

I groaned and flopped down onto her couch. I didn't want to think about it, let alone talk about it. But this was Alice standing before me, I don't think I had a choice.

"I met him at a pub in Seattle, on my way here," I started to explain. "His name was Anthony and we had a few drinks. After having a dance, we left and went for coffee. Then he asked if I wanted to go up to his hotel room with him and I agreed," I shrugged.

"And?" Alice prodded as she sat down next to me.

"And," I laughed. "I think you can guess what happened next," I said in a tone that said 'duh'.

"You went at it like wild animals," she grinned as she nodded her head.

"If that's what you want to call it," I couldn't help but laugh at her.

Alice started to bounce in her seat. She found this exciting?

"Was he cute?"

"Very," I tipped my head.

"Was it good?"

"It was great".

"Did he have a big di…?" she started but I cut her off.

"Alice," I scolded.

"What? What?" she held her hands up in defence. "I was just asking".

"Look, I cant talk about him Alice. I'm trying to forget he ever existed, because I know that I'm never going to see him again," I tried not to cry.

"You really liked him, didn't you?" Alice frowned and leant in to comfort me.

"Yea, I did," I wiped at the stray tear that was sitting in the corner of my eye. "But it doesn't matter. I don't know what his last name is, and I definitely don't know where he lives. For god sakes, I didn't even give him my real name," I growled.

I could feel myself growing angrier and angrier by the second. How could I have been so stupid? I should have kept my legs shut. I would even call me a slut.

"Oh sweetie," Alice embraced in a warm hug.

But I was in no mood for comfort right now. I wriggled away from her and slumped off to the bathroom. I figured I'd better look at the results. But when I got to the door, I paused.

"Will you check for me?" I turned and asked Alice.

She smiled gently and walked passed me and into the bathroom. She came back out holding the three sticks. Her face didn't tell me anything; that girl could bluff her way through anything.

"Well," I jiggled on the spot. "What's the damage?"

Alice took a deep breath and calmly gave me the news that could possibly change my life forever.

"You're with child".

No chance in hell I'd ever forget Anthony now.

Please R/R.

A/N: Well, I'm sure you all saw that coming. I know that it was pretty obvious from the start. LOL.
