Chapter 3: Sharing Secrets and Double Checking

Rose's POV:

Lunch was the last time I would see Emmett before we would meet up in the parking lot afterschool so after Bella left I asked Emmett "Can we talk afterschool at my house?" He said that was fine really quickly so I knew I had made him nervous and I didn't want him to worry.

The rest of my day was a blur. Have you ever noticed that when you are dreading to do something time seems to fly by and then you find your self in the moment that they were dreading? Anyway as I walked to Emmett's jeep I realized he was already there so I just climbed in and we left the school parking lot. I was deep in thought about how I wanted to tell him about the baby so I didn't even realize we had made it back to the Cullen's house until Emmett came around and opened my door for me, helping me down from the very high drop between his jeep and the ground. About three years ago my parents died in a car accident and ever since then me and Jasper have lived with the Cullens.

I led Emmett into the house and he immediately sat down on the couch in the living room. He asked "So what did you want to talk about Rosie?" I was about to tell him when I started noticing all the very breakable things that were in this room namely Edward's piano. If Emmett freaked out and started smashing stuff after I told him Edward would never forgive me. So I led him upstairs to my room. Once we were in there we sat next to each other on the bed. I wasn't sure how to start so I sat there for a few minutes. Reassuringly Emmett said "Rosie you know we can talk about anything. Just say whatever your thinking so that we can handle it together." I knew now that Emmett would accept the baby, he would be happy and we stick together through this whole thing. Just like he suggested I blurted out what has been on my mind for two weeks now "Emmett, I'm pregnant." He looked extremely shocked at first but after thinking about for a few seconds he smiled and hugged me tightly as he said "Rose, I am so happy. I will be there for you and our baby." Then a thought came to his mind and he asked "Wait, are you the girl people were talking about at school today?" I quickly explained to him that I wasn't the girl people were talking about and how I had taken a pregnancy test two weeks ago. This seemed to anger him the most. He looked a little hurt as he said "Why didn't you tell me sooner. How could you have kept something like this from me for two weeks?" I told him that I hadn't told him originally because I had needed time to think it over before I told him.

After that we laid in each other's arms for a long time every once in a while talking about the baby. We had been quiet for a while when I was jarred out of my thoughts by Emmett jumping off the bed and kneeling in front of me. Then he said four words that had not even crossed my mind "Will you marry me?" He surprised me so much that I sat there for a second with my mouth hanging open like an idiot before I jumped into his arms saying yes. We were interrupted by the phone ringing but when I walked across the room to my extension to answer it I saw that Alice had already picked it up on her extension in her room.

Alice's POV:

I was fairly certain that I was pregnant. I mean I had taken a test and everything but there were such things as false readings right. I had been desperately clinging to this hope for about a week now. I finally made up my mind to take another test when a rumor started going around school at lunch said that a girl in Forks High School was pregnant. Before lunch ended I told Jasper that I needed to talk to him afterschool. I think he was scared I was going to break up with him because he had a worried look on his face.

The rest of my day passed way too quickly as I unconsciously moved from one class to another thinking of ways to tell Jasper that I thought I was pregnant. The final bell rang and I made my way out to the parking lot where Jasper was waiting for me outside of his car. When I approached he kissed me and then asked "So you mentioned at lunch that you wanted to talk." I had to give the boy credit most people would have waited for me to bring up the subject if they thought I was going to breakup with them. I told him we should get in the car first. We both got in the car and Jasper was about to start the car when I words started spilling out of my mouth "Jasper, I think I might be pregnant." He looked at me like I was joking for a minute but we both know that we were not as careful as we should have been in Mexico. More serious now he turned to face me and said "Are you sure?" I told him I was pretty sure and that I had already taken a pregnancy test but that I was thinking of taking another one just to double check. Then he asked the question that I had been expecting from the beginning when the words accidently fell out of my mouth. "Alice, are you the girl people are talking about." I told him I wasn't. I had taken my first pregnancy test earlier that week. That made me think, I wouldn't be alone through this somebody else would be going through the exact same thing I was, that is if the other girl kept her baby.

As I was thinking about this Jasper had started driving, I thought we were going home but then he pulled into a convenient store. Before we got out of the car I felt the need to tell Jasper "If the test is positive then I want to keep the baby, I don't care what everybody at school will think or mom and dad. I am keeping this baby." With that we went into the store and purchased a pregnancy test that was supposedly the best money could buy. Then we decided that I would take it when I got home.

On the way home I read the instructions on the outside of the box. The results would take three minutes and a blue plus sign would appear on the screen if I was pregnant while a red negative sign would appear if I wasn't pregnant. Somehow I had a feeling it would be a little blue plus sign that appeared on the screen.

We ran inside and up to my room where I had a private bathroom. I went in and took the test. After that I went out to sit on my bed with Jasper as we waited for the results. While I was laying there he said "Alice I just want you to know that no matter what the results are I will love you just the same. The only difference would be if you were pregnant, then I would love our little baby that you are carrying too." We waited the rest of the time in silence as both of our thoughts were on the future and how much having a baby now would change the rest of our lives and plans.

I got up and went into the bathroom to retrieve the test. I couldn't even look at the little screen, I was so nervous. I brought it out into my room and told Jasper to read the results because I was too afraid to read it. He nervously looked down at the test and then smiled as he happily announced "I will love you for the rest of my life… and our little baby." I jumped for joy. Sure I was eighteen, but hey I was pregnant and nothing could make me happier then having a baby with the man I loved. Jasper and I spent the rest of the night in our room, only going down to the kitchen for something to eat around five. We were still in my room when the phone rang. I noticed the caller id said Swan so I picked it up and was greeted by Edward who then asked to arrange it so that Bella could spend the weekend at our house. I quickly ran downstairs and asked Esme just to make sure it was okay and then called Charlie and made up some excuse about a girls weekend. I knew that Bella and I probably wouldn't even see each other all weekend it sounded like Edward and Bella planned to spend all weekend up in Edward's room.
