DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT!
I watched as Edward fainted and the doctor face turn up in shock all in slow motion. This could not be happening. Me? Pregnant? That is impossible. Was this some sort of joke? I was using birth control. It was 99.9 % effective! I knew I had bad luck, but it cant be this bad! But this can't all be true. I was being punked! Yes, this was all a practical joke. They almost got me and they definitely got Edward.
I started laughing. "Good one Doc!" His face turned up in confusion and that's when I knew I wasn't being Punked. I wasn't even a celebrity to have Ashton Kutcher do this to me. No one knew I was coming to the doctors today and this joke had to have taken weeks to plan. I was pregnant. But why couldn't my face move? Oh my God, I was in a coma!
The doctor came and started to slap my cheeks. Not hard, just enough to wake me up.
"How far am I?" I had no doubt who was the father. Edward was the only guy I had slept with.
"Since it is late October, early November, I would say you are two months along." That was about the time I had started using birth control. The pregnancy would explain the big fight Edward and I had. It was the hormones. I had no period, but this pill would give me four periods a year. I guess me and Edward are just a really fertile couple. But if I was about two months along, I would start having morning sickness. Crap!
Edward had woken up and I was furious! Why the hell did he faint? I didn't and I was the one who was going to have children before the age of 20! I put Chloe's coat on and stormed out the door and into the parking garage. If Edward knew what was good for him, he would be here in five minutes or he was walking back. Apparently Edward had gotten the message and was in the car before I registered the thought.
I pulled up at my apartment and went straight up. I knew Edward was following me because we had to talk. I knew my hormones were kicking in. Chloe was asleep and I felt bad for her. My little girl had pneumonia and there was no way, she was going outside anytime soon. Tomorrow was Saturday and I had a cocktail party to go to. I was representing my Dad's law firm. My mom was coming down to watch her, but I felt bad leaving. This cocktail party was one of the few times my Dad ever needed me and with all that he has done. I owe him that.
Edward was sitting on one of the couches when I got back into the living room. I sat next to him and waited for him to speak.
"How far along are you?" He asked. It was ironic that it was the first question I had asked also.
"About two months," I whispered. For some reason, I wanted to whisper.
"The baby is mine right?" his voice was skeptical. I was taken aback. Duh! Couldn't he do the math?
"Of course!" I exclaimed forgetting the unnecessary need to whisper. He smiled, relieved.
"So how is this going to work out? You can't raise two kids living on your own," Edward said. I knew he wanted to basically move back in, but I wasn't ready to just dive right back where we had left the relationship. So I proposed an offer.
"How about you move in, but you stay in the guestroom?" I asked. I didn't want to hurt his feelings, but I did want to take this slow. He nodded seeing as this was the only compromise he might get out of me.
"So can I move in tomorrow? It is a Saturday after all." I nodded my head yes and was about to ask him to stay with Chloe tomorrow night, but decided against it. He probably had one of those events he had to go to. I almost cringed just remembering them.
"So what about us? What are we?" He asked. I really didn't know.
"We're friends who happen to have a kid together and have potential to progress into something more." His eyes brightened at my last sentence. The rest of the night passed in a blur. Edward left shortly after that and I was left to my own thoughts. I was worried and I will go right ahead and admit that I am scared. It's been awhile since I have felt this vulnerable.
The next day I went to work and left my mom and Chloe alone together. I had already informed her on the soap opera that is now my life except for me being pregnant again. Edward would be going in and out with boxes. And I would be going to the cocktail party soon.
I was only working half a day since I the party was today. Charlie couldn't go because he was still working in Cali. People knew that I was his daughter since I was mentioned a lot. I was surprised to hear this. Chloe still has her fever but its reducing and hopefully she is her cherry self again. About 2 hours before the party, I went to go get ready.
I put on a tan, organza dress with a black, thin belt. It showed off my curves nicely. I put on some jewelry and gold, leaf printed ankle boots. I had smoky eyes with gold eye liner and the rest was natural. I decided to let the natural waves of my hair fall down my back and put a gold barrette to hold up on side. I said goodbye to Chloe and Renee and grabbed my black coat and clutch. A car was waiting for me outside. I stepped in and we dashed off to the Gotham Hall.
They would be hosting this even in the legendary club. I ran up the stairs and my coat was immediately taken into the coat closet. I put the number in my clutch and headed toward the main scene.
"Bella?" A familiar voice said behind me. Edward was behind me staring at me confused. He had on a black suit with a black button down but no tie. I almost fainted from the sight.
"Hello, fancy seeing you here," I mused. He was about to say something but was interrupted.
"Bella!" Alice's perky voice rang. I watched as she ran in heels towards me. I loved her dress and shoes. It was a hot pink cocktail dress and she wore those with some glitter pumps. The rest of her make up and jewelry was gold. She had flat ironed her and it was dead straight. She kissed my cheek and gave me a hug. I returned it. Jasper was right behind her and I gave him one too.
Rosalie and Emmett were right behind them. Emmett didn't give me one of his bear hugs. I guess Edward had told them. Rosalie hesitantly walked up to me and hugged me. She was wearing a dark red cocktail dress with black pumps. Her hair was in an elegant bun and her make up consisted of black and silver. Jasper and Emmett had the same look as Edward's but Emmett had on a white shirt and Jasper had on a gray. Boys are so easy to dress!
"What are you doing here?" Alice asked. I saw as Edward waited intently for my answer.
"Well, I am officially working. I am representing my dad's firm." They all nodded and for the rest of the night we hung out, but Edward was extremely protective. He wouldn't let me sip my drink unless he made sure there was no alcohol. He glared at any guy who took immediate interest in me. I really was happy to see him this way. It told me he was still trying to win my heart. I knew it wouldn't take long.
