"I just don't know what I'm supposed to do, Billy. I'm not ready to let go of my little girl", I admitted to my lifelong best friend.

After the receiving the shocking news from Bella, I had to get out the house. I couldn't stay there. I needed time to myself. I needed time to think before I really talked to her, so I fled to the same place I always did.

I came to Billy's. This was the place I came to think when I was 17 and Renée told me that she was pregnant with Emmett. This was the place I came to when the wailing of my new born baby became too much to bear, and the place I came to when my mom died and I couldn't bear to stay at home with my daughter who resembled her so much. Billy's was like my second home, and it didn't look much different from when we were 17. The kitchen walls were still an ugly shade of green, his stove was still a piece of crap, the T.V. looked like it belonged in a different era, and the exact same beat up leather couches sat in the overly small living room. Those couches may look pretty crappy, but they were actually the most comfortable thing I had ever sat on. I loved those couches.

Billy shrugged his shoulders and sighed. Why was he shrugging his shoulders? Did he not find this hard to believe? Was he expecting Belles to get pregnant?

He just sat there quietly for a moment and then tossed me a can of my favorite brand of beer. Vitamin R, we had been drinking that since we were 17.

Im begining to not like that age so much anymore. I became a father at seventeen, and now my own little girl would become a mother at seventeen. Damn age. She wasn't ready. She's still so young. She's my baby, she can't become a mother yet. Mother. Has she told Renee? I seriously doubted it.

Renee was usually one of the last people Bella passed along news too. She never really forgave her for leaving Forks, and she was still a little a little upset that her mother left me for Phil. My Bella could hold a grudge. Sure hope poor Edward knows that. He screws up once, and Bella will remind him of it for the rest of his damn life. Once when she was seven i accidently ran over her soccer ball and to this day she still brings it up. God, i love that damn kid..

"Have you really talked to her, Charlie? Has she told what she plans on doing?" Billy asked curiously. That's Billy for you. Always so damn nosy. But, most of the time he means well. He's a good friend.

I looked up at him as I took a slow sip of Vitamin R and then swished the can around. "We didn't talk much. Everything just happened so fast and it was all just so crazy. All I really know is that she's pregnant. I don't know how far along she is or any of that other crap, but as far as what she plans to do with the baby; I'm almost one hundred percent she's keeping it."

Billy thought that over a minute before speaking. "How can you be so sure about that?" he asked.

I rolled my eyes and ran my fingers through my hair. It was definitely time for a damn haircut. "She's Bella, Billy. I know her. She's my sweet, little caring Bella. She cried when her goldfish died, so I'm pretty damn sure she could never even consider getting an abortion. Renee didn't."

Billy nodded understandingly and took a swig from the white and red can. "Ok, well what about adoption? She's so young, Charlie. Barely seventeen. Maybe she will decide she isn't ready to take care of a baby and settle down"

I nodded my head, but I knew I was right. I knew she would keep it. It didn't matter how old she was. Bella wouldn't care. She would keep that little baby no matter what. She was like Renee that way. Stubborn as would keep her baby just like Renee kept Emmett. I wish poor Edward luck. He has no idea what he has gotten himself into. Bella would keep the baby. That I was sure of, and I was ok with it.I would support her no matter what. She had always been there for me. She was there for me when my mom died, and when her mom left me for Phil. Now it was my turn to be there for her.I would be there for her every step of the way even if no one else was.

"She won't care about her age. She won't even think twice about that, Billy. Bella will keep that baby." I assured him.

Billy chuckled and gave me a weary smile. "Well then I guess we can start calling you Grandpa Charlie", he joked.

I began to chuckle and that's when we realized we weren't the only people in the kitchen

"Bella's Pregnant?" Jacob shouted, but it was still directed as a question.

My smile vanished and I turned to Billy begging for help. I didn't know what to do. Should I tell the other boy that's still helplessly in love with my daughter that she's now pregnant? I was actually quite scared to do that

The room fell silent for a moment but Billy finally spoke. He reached up and placed his hand on his son's broad shoulder. Damn that boy must have been working out. I could still remember him being a scrawny little stick not too long ago. "Yes son, Bella is pregnant", he confirmed.

Jacob froze, and his large brown eyes began to water. It actually kind of pained me. I felt bad for the poor kid. I knew where he was coming from. I knew what it felt like to be in love with someone that didn't love you back anymore. Especially when you're willing to do anything just to be with that one person, but she couldn't care any less about you. It sucks.

Jacob began to clench his fists together and grow red with anger. It was obvious that the news of my daughter's pregnancy was killing him on the inside. Poor kid. Most people would say that they didn't understand why he was acting this way. He was strong and handsome, and attracted almost every girl. He could easily find another girl. I understood though. He didn't want another girl. He only wanted Bella. I had only wanted Renee. That's why I never remarried.

"Calm down Jacob", Billy ordered firmly.

"The poor girl has every right to start a life with someone else", he added.

Jacob's face grew a deeper shade of red and I swear it sounded like he actually made a growling noise. A growl? Yeah, I know weird, but i swear that's what it sounded like.

"She's only seventeen!" He shouted as he turned and sprinted out the door

"Jacob!" Billy called after him, but Jake said nothing in return. The last thing we heard was the screen down slamming shut behind him. I kind of wondered where he had run off to, but I didn't bring it up to Billy.

Billy sighed and rubbed his eyes. Poor old man. He has to deal with an out of control teenage boy. But, then again I guess he isn't that poor, because after I am the one with the pregnant daughter.

"You know he's still in love with her", Billy said

I nodded my head and sighed. "Yeah Billy, I know, but Bella loves Edward now"

Billy nodded his head. "Yeah I know, Charlie, and speaking of Bella, you better get back home and talk to that girl. She's going to need you. You can't just hide here forever"

I nodded my head and got up from the chair I had been sitting in. Billy was right. I had to talk to Bella. I couldn't hide her forever no matter how bad I wanted to. Damn son of a bitch. Why did he have to be right all the damn time?

"Alright Billy I'm leaving", I announced

He chuckled and patted my arm. "Good. You go home and talk to Bella, Grandpa Charlie", he replied with a smug smile. He was going to have way too much fun with this. Damn it Belles.
