Alrighty! Are we all ready for the Charlie/Edward/Renee blow up?
Chapter 23
"Bye Bella." Edward said as he left the house. He stopped by the bathroom where I was currently trying not to upchuck.
"Mmhmm..." I said as I paced back and forth in front of the toilet.
Edward leaned against the door. "I thought this puking stuff was supposed to stop after the third month?"
I stopped pacing and leaned against the sink. "Not all pregnancies are the same. Besides, I'm not even three months yet."
He rolled his eyes. "You will be in a week."
I rolled my eyes right back at him. The change in my vision becuase of the eye rolling made my stomach lurch. I quickly knelt over the toilet and became violently sick. Edward held my hair away from my face and rubbed my back. "I'm sorry, baby." He said sympatheticly.
After I spit out my mouth, I laughed. "Are you apologizing for impregnating me?"
He laughed too. "No, not at all. I wouldn't change it for the world. But I am sorry that you have to go through this."
I stood up and went to the sink. I pulled my toothbrush and toothpaste out and brushed my teeth trying desprately to get rid of the sick taste. "So, we're going to my dad's this weekend?"
"Yep. Renee's even coming. I told everyone it was for a family get together since we haven't had one in a while." He was quiet for a moment. He looked down at his hands and I about melted. There was something about seeing him shy about something that made my heart swoon.
"What's the matter?" I asked as I stepped closer to him and circled my arms around his waist.
"Is your dad really going to kill me?"
I laughed out loud and he joined in.
"Bella!" I heard Renee squeal as Edward and I pulled in to my father's driveway. She was at the car and opening my door before it was even in park. She pulled my from my seatbelt and into a hug. "It's been so long since I've seen you!"
She was cutting off my air supply so I had to wiggle free from her grasp. "Mom, it was only a few months ago."
"Yeah, six months ago!" She didn't let go of me as we walked around the house to the back where everyone else was. And when I say everyone, I mean everyone. Seth, Leah, Sue, and other various people from La Push. Emmett, Rose, Jasper, Alice. Edward's parents and mine. And lots of other people.
"Geez, Mom. Why'd dad invite all of Washington?"
"Oh he thought that since it was - strangely - a nice day, he'd invite whoever so we could barbeque." She was all smiles, as always. I couldn't help but smile back.
As soon as we hit the backyard I could smell all the food. And I was running for the bathroom. I could hear Edward tell my mom not to worry and he was following behind me. I just barely made it to the bathroom.
"Are you alright, babe?" Edward asked as he held my hair. I nodded and slowly stood up. I looked around the bathroom for a toothbrush because I knew Charlie always kept extra. I cleaned my mouth and turned to Edward.
"I'm not sure I want to tell them today. I mean, in front of everyone?"
Edward nodded. "I know what you mean. Maybe we can just pull them aside and tell them."
I nodded. "Yeah, that sounds like a good idea."
We walked back outside and found Charlie chatting with some of his friend from the station. Renee was talking to Esme about something. "Uh...Mom? Can Edward and I talk to you for a second?"
She looked to Esme. "Excuse me for a moment."
I sent Edward to go retrieve my father. They joined us and we were about to go inside when I heard Emmett. "Belllllaaaa!" His voice boomed over everyone. I turned around and he was running towards me with the biggest smile on his face and his arms outstretched. He looked like he was going to tackle me. I closed my eyes and prepared myself for the worst. But it didn't come. I opened my eyes to see Edward standing in between me and Em.
"Be careful, Em." He said. "No tackleing."
Emmett looked confused. "Uhm...Okay." He stepped around Edward and pulled me into a hug. He pulled back and looked at Edward. "See, I didn't hurt her." He scoffed. "Sheesh you act like she's prego or something."
Edward and I looked at each other and back at Emmett. "Well..."
"Oh fuck no!" Someone shouted. I expected it to by my dad but it wasn't it was Renee.
"What's the matter mom?" I asked. I figured she'd take it easy.
"You and him can't have a baby yet! You're not married and he's still in school!" She said flailing her arms to emphasize her point.
"Pot, kettle. Mom, you and dad were just out of highschool when you had me." People everywhere were starting to stare now. I could see Esme and Carlisle smiling out of the corner of my eye. At least someone was happy about this.
"That's not the same! You just can't have a baby now! It's not right!"
I leaned into Edward. "I'm sorry that you feel that way, Mom. But this is going to happen. Edward and I are starting a family regardless of your approval."
EPOV
Bella started walking towards the car and Renee stormed into the house.
Charlie laughed. "Like mother, like duaghter." He clapped his hand on my shoulder. "Congratulations, son. Take care of my daughter and grandbaby and you won't have to worry about me beating the shit out of you. Got that?"
I nodded. "Yes, sir."
"And don't worry about Bella and Renee. They'll be on speaking terms again by tomorrow night, I can garuntee it."
I nodded again. "Alright, Charlie. Sorry to run but I don't think Bella's up for a party tonight. We'll be by later maybe."
I walked back to the car where Bella was fuming. "Are you okay?"
"Okay? Hmm? No! She's being completely unreasonable! She thinks that just because her unplanned pregnancy went to shit, ours will too!"
I wiped away the tears that were falling down her face. "Bella, her unplanned pregnancy didn't go to shit. It brought you which brings us to this." I put my palm flat on her stomach. "And no matter what your mom or anyone says, we will have this baby and make a family."
Bella smiled.
I wanted to keep her smiling. "And who knows, maybe someday we can have a dog and some chickens."
Alrighty. No cliffie this time.
Please review!
