Chapter 23:

Negative

"No . . . well, not intentionally. They had punch and I . . . we didn't . . . it wasn't our fault!" I said.

My dad looked us over for a second before nodding resignedly.

"Okay, go up and get some rest" he said as he moved out of our way.

I nodded and headed upstairs. I took a quick shower, feeling like a complete mess. I brushed my teeth twice and used mouthwash in hope of getting all the alcohol out. Once I was finished, I ran to my room, put on a shirt and shorts and went to sleep.

* * *

I woke up to sun shining on my face.

"Ugh!!!" I said grumpily as I turned over.

"Time to get up grumpy, it 3pm!" Emmett said as he jumped on my bed.

"Go away Emmett" I said as I hid under the covers.

"No, I have to get you out of your bed" he said as he suddenly got off.

Good riddance

Suddenly, my bed was lifted and I was floating 6 feet above the ground.

"EMMETT!! PUT ME DOWN!!" I yelled.

"Will you get up?" he asked from below.

"No! Ugh! Just put me down"

Instead of answering, he began wobbling the bed making it tilt to different spots and quiver and squeak.

"Okay! OKAY!! Just put me down!" I yelled.

"Okay!" he said happily as he put my bed down.

I laid back on my pillow and curled up in my blankets as soon as my bed touched the ground.

"You little liar!" he said as he completely took off all my covers.

"My god Emmett! There! I'm up!" I said grumpily as I got out of bed.

"Good afternoon to you too sunshine" he said.

"Yeah, sunshine" I said as I went to my closet to change.

I kept it simple, wearing seats and a t-shirt. I put my hair in a messy ponytail and slipped my feet into some tennis shoes. I walked downstairs slowly, trying to remember what happened last night.

I remember dancing and drinking punch and then I remember dad asking me why I was drunk though I hardly was. That was about it. I couldn't remember what happened in between. When I walked into the kitchen Jake was already there eating but his hair was dripping water all over the floor

"Hey sleepy" he said with a kiss as I sat down.

"How did you sleep?" my mom asked as she handed me a sandwich.

"Okay, that is, until Emmett decided to lift my bed off the ground and make it feel like I as going to fall" I grumbled.

"Hey, Emmett splashed me with freezing water" Jake said as he ate.

"That was . . . a bit extreme but you guys wouldn't wake up" she said as we ate.

My stomach began doing twist and turns so I only ate half. Once I was finished, I headed outside hoping the fresh air would calm my stomach.

"Hey" Jake said as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Hi" I said as I leaned into his warm body.

We didn't talk much, just stared at the forest. Eventually we went back inside and spent the rest of the Saturday around each other. My stomach ache eventually went away but I was still feeling weird. On Sunday, I began with a slight fever but it went away by Monday morning. We headed off to school a bit earlier than usual since I wasn't able to sleep much that night.

"Are you feeling better?" Jake asked as I drove.

"What? Oh, yeah, I'm fine now" I answered a bit distractedly.

My stomach wasn't hurting, it was just, uneasy.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing . . . " I said but at that second, a car swerved in front of me making me brake hard.

At that point my stomach lurched and I had to keep my mouth clamped such or I knew I would be sick.

"Ness, your turning paler, maybe I should drive" Jake said but I shook my head no.

After a minute, it went away.

"Just hand me my water for a second" I said and took a gulp when I had it.

"There, better?" he asked.

"Yes, I guess it was the hard brake"

"So, what were you saying from before?" he asked curiously.

"Oh! I was just trying to remember something . . . " I trailed off as looked out the window.

It was on the tip of my tongue but I couldn't get it. When we stopped at a traffic light and looked around seeing if something triggered my memory. I looked at the sidewalk and saw a man walking with his child and his pregnant wife beside him.

"Oh!" I said as my car lurched forward suddenly.

Now it came back to me. The bed . . . Jake . . .everything!

! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

I couldn't possibly . . . but we didn't . . . Uhoh

"Ness? Ness?!" Jake called.

"Sorry, I just remembered what I was trying to remember. Hey Jake, do you mind if I run by the store and buy some Pepto-Bismol? Just in case my stomach starts turning again?"

"No, of course not. Do you want me to get it for you?" he asked.

"No, I want to get a bit of fresh air" I said as I turned into the pharmacy.

I left the car on and headed inside. I grabbed a jar of Pepto-Bismol and then went into the feminine isle. I looked at the row of boxes and finally decided on the one that looked most promising. I bought my stuff at the self-checkout line and quickly hurried out.

"Got it" I said as I stuffed the whole bag into my backpack. Hopefully I was wrong.

We arrived at the school minutes later. We were still a bit early so I headed into the bathroom. I was shaking as I opened the box. I took 3 just to be sure. I was pacing in the small bathroom having a nervous breakdown as I waited. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore. I walked over and peeked at the results.

"Oh! Thank god!" I said as I slid down on the floor with my hand on my stomach. 3 straight negatives. "Thank you!" I said as I threw them out along with the whole box and the receipt.

I would've been so dead if I had seen a + instead of a - . Maybe I just drank too much of that stupid punch. I took a dose of Pepto-Bismol too calm my stomach and washed it down with water. I walked out happily, the burden relieved from my shoulders.

"Hey Ness, you seem happier" Jake said as he put his arm around my waist.

"I took some Pepto-Bismol so my stomach is calming down" I explained.

"Good, I don't want you hurting" he said as he kissed the top of my head.

"Hey Ness!" Matt called us over to them.

"Hey guys" we said.

"The party was awesome wasn't it?" Emma said and I nodded.

"The only thing was that one batch of the chicken parmesan was bad. The topping or something was bad. Everyone who ate it started getting stomach pains over the weekend" Matt explained and my eyes widened.

Everything fit. Jake had a hotdog but I had the chicken. I must've eaten the batch that was bad. Wow, my bad luck just never goes away does it? We talked about the party until the bell sent us scurrying away. The first half of the day flew by. It felt like only about an hour passed when Jake and I were meeting for Free Period.

EPOV

"Okay Alice, what are you hiding" I told her during our 3rd period.

She had a vision but she kept thinking about random things to tune me out. Right now, she was reciting pi. So far she was up to the 1,300th number.

"Nothing, I just like to have my privacy" she said and I sighed angrily.

"Alice, what's wrong . . . does it have to do anything with Jake or Nessie?" Bella asked as she leaned around me.

Her eyes flickered to Bella's and then away but she stayed quiet. I guess that's a yes.

"Alice, you have to tell me. It can be important" I told her.

"No . . . well yes but you'll just overreact like always. I only got a glimpse though because I can't see her with Jacob there so you'll probably take it the wrong way. You don't know" she explained.

"Alice, tell me" I said getting anxious.

Something was definitely wrong. Alice shook her head stubbornly and I growled.

"Alice, your closet depends on it" I threatened her and she froze.

"You wouldn't dare"

"Tell me" I countered.

She was quiet for a minute before she gave in,

"Just don't overreact" she said quietly as she opened her mind.

'Nessie at the pharmacy—grabbing Pepto-Bismol—grabbing a . . . !!!'

"No" I said incredulously.

"You don't know the whole thing Edward" Alice said quietly.

No, Alice was wrong. I do know. Nessie was just at the pharmacy buying Pepto-Bismol and pregnancy tests. The mutt got her pregnant!

A/N

Hey Guys! I'm Sorry! Please don't kill me. I promise everything will resolve. I just had to add that small little scene because it's going to be important. Nessie can finally relax now. 3 stright negatives. By the way, Jake doesn't know . . . .yet. And of course, Edward will over react. Anyway, life's pretty boring right now.
