Chapter Four
Bella's POV
After we apologized to each other some more we went to Carlisle. He was in his office, looking like he was expecting us.
" Please, sit down." He said. He seemed a little distant from me. He wouldn't look me in the eyes and when he looked at me his lips would form a frown. " So, you're pregnant." He said, uncomfortable. It was weird, because it was the first time I've ever seen him like this.
" Yes. And before you ask. No. I didn't sleep with someone else. It's always been Edward. Only." I tried to sound strong. And some how I kind of did.
" Bella. That's impossible. Vampire's don't reproduce."
" Carlisle. You have to believe me. It's Edward's baby." I sat forward in my seat. " Isn't there someway I can prove it?"
Carlisle sighed. " We can wait till the baby's born, so we can run a DNA test."
" Not any sooner though?"
" During your sixth month I guess we could try."
" Thank you Carlisle. I'm going to prove to all of you. It's Edward's baby." Edward looked at Carlisle then to me. He shook his head slightly before carrying me back to his room.
" I'm not lying Edward. I didn't cheat on you. You would have smelled someone on me! Just think about it Edward." I paused, not really wanting to say what I was thinking. " Maybe I should go home. You stay here and think about what I've said." I whispered, hating myself for it.
" If that's what you want." He whispered back.
" No. It's what I need. What we need. Please. Think about it and then come to me. But only come to me when you realize the mistake you've made. Please." I cupped his face into my hands. He pressed his face into them and kissed my palm.
" I understand."
" Good." I smiled encouragingly to him before giving him a passionate kiss and leaving.
Nobody was downstairs when I got there. They must be in their rooms. Then, out of nowhere Jasper appeared. He looked at me with understanding.
" Do you believe me, Jasper?" I asked. He smiled at me before looking up stairs then to me again.
" Of course, Bella. I do read emotions. I could tell you weren't lying." He laughed shortly. " Also, you're a terrible liar." He chuckled at my face before strolling past me and up the stairs.
" Thanks for the faith Jasper. You're a good brother." I whispered after him.

When I finally got home I was bushed. I muttered a greeting to my father before trudging up the stair to my bedroom. I slowly got ready for bed, hating to sit in bed alone. Once I was in bed my eyes strayed to the closed window. It was bugging me.
It was always open. Even if it was raining. IT was a sign that Edward could enter my room. I felt like crying at the thought of him not coming tonight.
So, just for my selfish, petty reasons, I got up from bed and swung open the window. The chilling air outside was a relaxing element. It reminded me of Edward's touch.
I once again climbed into bed… and drifted into a fitful slumber.
