EPOV

I walked out of Bella's room sitting and side down the wall beside her door.

Anger tears stream down my face. I wasn't anger at Bella; I could never be anger at Bella. I was however anger at about the situation we were in, I was anger about what happen to us, I was anger at her mother for taking away her choice by letting the doctor's give her the morning after pill.

I meant what I said to Bella, had I been conscious I would have made sure the doctor's gave her that fucking pill. When her blood work came back before Bella woke up I didn't know how to react when the doctor said she was pregnant, that is up until they hooked her up an ultrasound machine and I heard the baby's heartbeat.

I didn't show any emotions as I listen to the heartbeat but on the inside I was fucking elated for many different reasons and at the same time I was extremely sad.

Months before we graduated from College, Bella and I sat down with one another planning everything. We already had our wedding date set so that wasn't part of our planning, our planning surrounded our future and what we wanted to do.

Throughout our discussion we came to agree that we wanted to start a family sooner rather than later. We were actually planning on attempting to make a honeymoon baby. I shudder as my mind process that thought.

Even though Bella and I were waiting till we got married to have sex however we did other physical things as a couple. Bella was on birth control at the time we had this discussion because it helped with the cramping she would experience.

She stated that she was going to stop taking her pills immediately that way by the time we're married it'll be out her system completely.

Bella also decided that instead of working a fulltime job once we graduate she was only going to go to work part-time; she wanted to have as much time to work on things in our new house, to work on our family and to spend as much time with me before I started Graduate School.

Between the money she received from her father's Line of Duty Death benefits, his life insurance policy, my heritance from my grandmother and our money we managed to save over the years. We felt it was enough to get by on while I attend school fulltime and with her only working part-time. The only reason Bella decided to even work was because she said "I want to get some real work experience before I become a mom. I just cannot picture someone else raising our children the first few years of their life, which are the most important years in their development. Besides if we're going to have three children I want them to be atleast a year apart from each other." Then she'll get a thoughtful look in her eyes and say jokingly "who knows we just might knock'em out all in one shot."

We always made ever single decisions that concern our lives together, such as when I gotten into Grad school at UCLA. Bella knows me so well, she knew I wanted to attend Grad school at UCLA so when I brought the topic up she rose from the table and disappeared. I thought she was mad however she came back to the table smiling with her planner that she put together for the wedding with locals in California she wanted us to visit whenever our schedules allowed us. Another bright spot on us moving to California we'll be closer to all our friends and family.

"Fuck" I shouted as I slammed my fist into the wall; if I had only decided to go to grad school back home in Washington or stay in New York this would of never happen to us.

"Edward" a hesitant voice called out to me as they place their hand on my shoulder.

I turned around seeing Sara behind me "why did this happen to us Sara?" I cried as she pulled me into her. Sara's embrace was not the comforting arms I longed for but this was as close to Bella as anything.

"I'm so sorry Edward" She cried as she held me close

"This shouldn't of happen to us."

"I know" She said in strangle voice

"We shouldn't be here at this place right now; we should be home at our house enjoying our lives as newlyweds and now for this to happen to us. What did we do to ever deserve a fate like this? Bella is the most compassionate and selfless person I know, she definitely didn't deserve the things that happen to her. I don't believe we're going to survive this together." I sobbed

Sara laughed a nervous laugh "You're Bella and Edward, you've guys will survive this just like, you've survived other things that's been thrown at you."

I wish that was true I thought to myself.

"She's pregnant" I choke out feeling Sara tense as soon as the words left my mouth

"What?"

"We just found out two days ago that she's pregnant. The doctor's been running all sorts of lab work on Bella since we've been here; of course they ran a pregnancy test when she first got her but it was too soon to tell; however her latest batch of blood work shows that she's pregnant. I heard the baby's heartbeat the day we found out." I answered sadly; I notice that Sara was still tense as I was telling her this.

"I…I mean that should be good news right...I mean you guys did you know… consummate your marriage before this happen right?" She asked warily

"Yes we did." I sobbed "But those bastards" I spat "raped her repeatedly for two weeks no protection." I choked out as a sob ripped through my chest. "There is no guarantee that the baby is mine, and Bella, well…" I couldn't even finish what I was saying as I began crying hysterically

Sara didn't even speak she just let me cry till my tears became less frantic. "I'm sorry about that" I apologize as I backed out of Sara's embrace. "Pssst, nonsense you know if you ever need a shoulder to cry on I'm always here for you. Now things are going to work out for the best, you and Bella may have a long road ahead of you guys but I know you'll survive what happen and this little bundle of joy she's carrying."

"She wants to terminate it" I blurted out

Her mouth formed in a wide "O" before she composed herself "and you what do you want?"

"I was uncertain when the doctor told me the blood results but as soon as I heard the baby's heartbeat it made it so real to me. This baby was meant to be Sara, it survived everything she's been through and its vitals are currently strong as ever. I see this baby as our miracle. I know what happen to us will always haunt us but for something so small to survive, after everything she's been through it has to be some sort of sign. I'm by far a religious person but when something like this happens it makes you wonder. I want this baby whether it's turns out to be mine or not, I know he or she will bring us closer. She's about 13 ½ weeks pregnant the ultrasound showed, which is our wedding date however the doctor's estimated how far along she is due to the size of the fetus. I don't know after hearing the baby's heartbeat how I could live with myself if Bella terminates this pregnancy. There has to be something I could do to fight for the innocent child's life?" I asked Sara hopefully

"Even if it means that it might end up costing you your marriage?"

"I don't believe it will cost me my marriage. I know Bella, she wouldn't be able to live with herself once the shock and everything wears off if she goes through with this abortion. Especially of there is a chance the child is mine. Bella right now is going through so much psychically and mentally, but I know within my heart this baby will bring us today and just like I'll fight for this baby; I'll fight even harder for my marriage."

She looked at me nodding her head "Well if this is truly what you want then I'll help you." She said reaching in her purse pulling out her blackberry, excusing herself to go into the designate phone area to make a phone call.

I reached for her before she left "Are you sure you want to does then and help me. This will surely cause a strain on yours and Bella's friendship." I asked her giving her an out

She smiled sadly at me "I was your friend first, besides I don't believe in abortions.' She said as she walked off.

I knew whatever way Sara was planning on helping me had to deal with the law after Sara's parents where big shot lawyers. I also knew that by Sara helping me it would cause a strain on her friendship with Bella. Bella already pissed off at her mother, hell she even smack her continuously which is something I'll never imagine Bella to do in a million years; then again after everything we been through it'll change a person.

Just like I for one never thought I could how so much hate in my heart but I swear if I ever see one of those vile men I'll killed them, consequences be damned, so I can only imagine how much this is going to change Bella.

I just hope after everything is said and done, my marriage and Bella and Sara's friendship survives this journey.

Sara's been in our live since we were kids, yeah she and Bella never got along in the beginning but somewhere along the lines they became fast friends almost sisterly like. I knew at one point I was worried about how they'll get along especially after I started dating Bella.

I remembered growing up I was so confused about my feelings for Bella that I just dismissed it as more of a brother/sister type of connection, but when her father died something shifted within me and I knew she was the one.

So when she took me into our secret paradise deep within her backyard and began kissing me, as cliché as it sounds as soon as our lips touch it was like I finally had my missing puzzle piece. We mesh together perfectly.

The only thing I was worried about when we started dating was how Sara would take it. People always said that Sara and I were always flirtatious with one another; but I never saw it as anything but too childhood friends getting along well. I always suspected she had a crush on me but when I told her Bella and I were dating she seem so enthusiastic for us, and it made me glad that I didn't have to worry about our friendship.

Sara has always been there for Bella and me, good or bad; we knew we could always count on Sara. I thought as I looked into the window of Bella's door, her back was to the door and she was curled into a fetal position and appeared to be crying. I place my hand on the glass whispering "Sorry for what I'm about to do love but I will fight for our family."

Author's note

Next chapter we find out how Sara is helping Edward and so much more. I might even put in a mysterious POV.

Sorry this chapter is short but if you're a good at catching things it's very insightful. I probably won't be updating ANY of my stories till NEXT WEEK. Unless my characters start demanding more of me..... LOL

I want to thank Edward's-a-beefcake your ideas are totally awesome and work well with the original storyline. After some thinking and rereading, I think at some unconscious level that I made had already came up with your last scenario, which I see a lot of things leading up to that conclusion in this chapter and in previous chapters. So thank you for making me aware of it. Oh email me later and I'll run some of this stuff I came up with spinning off of your ideas.

Cheers

Sara
