I did not fully understand Carlisle at first. It wasn't until I felt Edward turn to stone beside me and Carlisle throws him a concerned look that I comprehended what Carlisle said.
"No," I said firmly.
Carlisle quickly looked at her and said, "The test shows-"
I cut him off and stated, "No, it is impossible I am pregnant. You need to run another test or you got the tests wrong."
I did not think anything of it. I knew with confidence that I wasn't pregnant, after all, you have to have sex to become pregnant. Edward refuses to do anything other than sweet kisses.
I notice Edward not responding beside me. I look over at him and is shocked by what I sees.
Edward was sitting there like a stone gargoyle with a look of intense pain on his face.
"Edward," I said tentatively, "What is the matter?"
Edward comes out of his catatonic state and does not even glance my way. That sot an arrow through my heart. What is going on, I thought to myself.
Edward looks at Carlisle and almost breaks my heart all over again when he asks Carlisle, "How far a long is she?"
Carlisle is now looking between the two of us wondering exactly what he should be doing. "Well," he says hesitantly, "The test shows that she is about five months pregnant."
Edward bowls over almost as if someone punched him in the gut and then realization dawned on me. Five months ago, Edward had left and I was here by myself, getting to know Jake again.
I started feeling pain in my chest. It started spreading down my entire body. How could Edward think that I would have slept with someone else after he left? I could not even reason with how he could think for one second that I would do that.
I jerk my hand from Edward and see his head whip around to face me. Around the pain, I could feel a fury building within me. I could barely look Carlisle in the eyes let alone Edwards at the moment.
"Carlisle, for the last time, I cannot be pregnant. I have not been with anybody to get pregnant, " I said. I could hear my voice rise at the very end relaying the stress and anger I was feeling.
As soon as I said this, there was a knock at the door. I felt irritation move through me. I needed this resolved so I could walk away before I said or did something I would regret.
A nurse walked in looked a little harried. She handed Carlisle a folder. I knew she could feel the tension in the room because she got really nervous and said to Carlisle, "I'm really sorry Dr. Carlisle. There was a mix up in the lab. The result you have in your hand is not Bella's. These are."
Carlisle looked immensely relieved and I heard Edward suck in a breath beside me. He tries taking my hand but I remain immune to his attempts. I could see the frown on his face and panic start forming.
He waits till the nurse walks out and says urgently, "Bella-"
I cut him off and looked directly at Carlisle, "Please tell me what the results are of this test Carlisle," I said coldly.
I knew I really had no reason to be mad at Carlisle but I felt like betrayed that either one would think I would get do this.
Carlisle looked at me sheepishly and said, "Um, I'm very sorry Bella.' At this I could only nod stiffly.
"Ok well it your white blood count is a little high but everything looks pretty normal. I think what is happening is that your body is just trying to regain it's natural balance. You have been going through a lot the past year and have been introduced to many things including going overseas."
What Carlisle said made since but instead of feeling relief that there was nothing seriously wrong, all I could feel was anger and hurt. I could not understand how Edward could think that I am that kind of girl. How many times did I tell him that he was the only one I could ever love? I mean even when I told him that I was not a virgin.
At this thought I stopped and everything started making a little more since. When Edward returned, he had asked me if I had ever been with anyone. I could not tell him the whole truth because I would not have been able to see the disgust on his face and I was terrified that he would turn away from me. I told him that if I could take away that one time, I would do almost anything. It was a point in my life that changed my outlook on life tremendously. He must think that I had been with someone while he was away and that is where my regret came from.
I shook myself out of my thoughts. I really needed to get out of here. I needed some time to think.
"Thank your Carlisle that puts my mind at rest." Carlisle nodded and looked concerned. I knew he was wondering what was going to happen between Edward and I.
Edward got up with me and followed me out of the room. We walked silently to the car and started driving away.
"Bella, please tell me what you are thinking," Edward pleaded.
I took a deep breath and tried to unravel my thoughts, "I honestly do not know where to start. I cannot believe that you thought I would cheat on you like that Edward."
Edward frowned at this and opened his mouth to say something when I cut him off, "I know you left and so it really would not mean cheating but come on Edward. I was so emotionally damaged after you left and still had some hope that you would return. How could you think that I would turn to someone else?"
Edward looked a little peeve and that irritation started bringing back the fury from earlier. Who gave him the right to start getting mad?
"Bella, when I came back, we had that conversation about you being with someone else," Edward said defensively.
I was about to interrupt when he gave me a hard look and continued, "You also were incredibly close with Jacob and still to this day I can tell that you guys have some kind of attachment to each other. I assumed that you had been with Jacob."
At the end of his explanation pain had started showing up in his voice.
"I cannot believe you Edward. Yes, when you came back Jake and I were friends. He was there for me when you were not. That does not mean that I slept with him. What do you take me for, some kind of whore?"
Edward's eyes got real hard and he said "Give me a break Bella; what did you expect me to do?"
I hissed out a breath and said angrily, "I expected you to defend me against Carlisle. I did not expect you to believe the worst of me."
"Well maybe you should have told me a little more about the experience you had. I mean here I was thinking that while I was wasting away with pain that you were here sleeping with someone else."
At these words, I could not hold back any longer, I did not mean to spurt out the next words, but I could not help myself. I knew that it would change things between Edward and I.
"First off, you should have asked. If it bothered you that much at the time, you should have asked me about it. I told you at the time that I have never given myself to anyone, that it was a physical catastrophe. I allowed you to take it the way you wanted, but the fact is that I did not give myself to anyone, they decided to take me without my permission," I yelled.
The car was silent for about a minute when Edward rasped out, "Bella, what are you saying, that…."
Bella finished Edwards sentence quietly, "Yes Edward, I was raped."
