yay another new chapter! Beta told me this one is aa crier. grab your hankies. lol

Jacob's POV

Charlie and I sat in the Forks Hospital ER waiting room nervously. Bella was being Bella and tripped, knocking herself out. After I rushed her to the hospital I called Charlie, and he rushed here.

Bella's doctor came out and stood in front of us. We quickly stood up.

"Bella's fine. She conscious now and has bit of a headache, but she should be fine in a couple hours. She should probably eat something in a while. Also, the baby is in perfect health. She can go home now."

Charlie's face went from white to purple. "What?" he said through his teeth.

"Were you not aware of her pregnancy?" he asked.

I shook my head. "Oh, dear." The doctor bit his lip. Poor guy.

"Thank you, Doctor," I said, and he gladly left.

I turned to Charlie. "Now, Charlie, before you fly off the handle..."

"She's okay..." His face was red. "Jake, will you bring Bella home please? I need to cool off some before I talk to her."

"Yes sir." And with that, Charlie stormed out.

Bella's POV

I was worried until the nurse came in and told me that everything was fine, including my baby.

Jacob walked in and stared at me. Oh God! He knows, he knows! Maybe not. Just play it cool and maybe he won't mention it. No! Why wouldn't he mention it? I'm pregnant! It's not like I just-

He interrupted my thoughts by saying, "When were you planning on telling me?" He crossed his arms over his chest and leaned against the door frame.

"While we were hiking, but then I ended up here," I said.

"Before Charlie knew?" he said.

"Jake," I said, standing up, "You're my best friend. Of course I was going to tell you first. I take that back. I called my mom, and then Emily found out accidently."

"Well, you have hell when you get home," he said.

"Don't I know it."

~*~

I stormed out of the house and to my truck. I threw my duffle bag into the passenger seat and started the truck. I'd spent the last hour screaming with Charlie over just about everything imaginable. The jerk. He had the audacity to bring Edward into the argument at one point. Saying that I was screwed up because of what he'd done to me. That was when I packed my stuff and left.

I grabbed my phone and sent a quick text to Jacob. I left. sry I didn't come c you. 2 angry at Charlie.

A few moments later he messaged back. Its ok. So Charlie was rlly pissed?

U have no idea, I sent back.

Tht sux. Well, call me when u get home.

I felt sad as I passed over the boundary line and the "Welcome to Forks" sign I passed behind me, but I was also happy to get back to my apartment and see Guyden and Angela. I wanted to get this news off my chest to Guyden.

I tried to call him but just got his voice mail and left an awkward message.

It was dark by the time I got back to my apartment. There was an envelope taped to my door informing that I was two weeks late on my rent. Great. I'd spent all my money on my gas guzzling truck getting to Forks. Looks like I'll be taking a second job after all. I sighed as I opened my door and walked in.

~*~

I met Guyden for lunch after my morning classes. We ate at a Chinese place, but he did most of the eating. I just kind of picked at my rice. It was silent most of the time, until I broke it.

"I need to tell you something."

He looked up from his plate and stared at me. "Yeah..." he said cautiously. I wish I knew what he was thinking. Maybe he thought I was breaking up with him, or that I was telling him I was cheating.

"What if I told you I was pregnant?" I said slowly, not meeting his eyes.

"That depends... are you?" he said.

"I asked you first."

He set his fork down and met my eyes. "Don't screw with me, Bella," he snapped. "Are you or are not-" he'd raised his voice, glanced around the room, and then lowered it- "pregnant?"

I nodded, closing my eyes. He groaned and put his head in his hands. "How did this happen?"

Anger flicked through me. "What do you mean 'how did this happen'? We got drunk, didn't use protection, and now I'm knocked up! Don't be stupid, Guyden."

"You're calling me stupid! You should've been on birth control or something!" he said a little too loudly. People around us were beginning to stare.

"Stop yelling, Guyden!" I whispered. I grabbed my wallet out of my purse and put the money on the table. "I'll see you outside," I growled and walked outside.

After a few minutes, Guyden came outside and met me by my truck. He stared at me for a few moments, then opened his mouth to speak.

"So are you getting this taken care of?"

"What?" I nearly yelled, appalled.

"If money's the issue, I can get the money-"

I cut him off. "Are you talking about an abor-"I lowered my voice- "an abortion?"

"Yeah," he took a deep breath, "we've had this conversation before, Bella. I don't want kids. I thought you didn't want kids either."

"The idea of kids never appealed to me," I said, "but I'm pregnant now and I want this baby. But I don't want to do it alone, Guyden."

"Well, you better get used to it, Bells. I really don't want a kid, and I'm sorry, but I don't want this."

"Is the idea of being with me for the rest of forever really that repulsive?" I said, tears stinging my eyes and blurring my vision.

"At this point, it kind of is."

I pressed my lips together and narrowed my eyes. "You know what? Leave. Right now. I don't want see you anymore. As far as I know, this baby isn't even yours. And if you even call me, text me, or come in contact with me, I will kick your ass so hard there'll be a foot coming out of your mouth. You asshole! "I yelled as loudly as I could, got in my truck, and drove away.

~*~

On my way home, I called in sick to work and called Angela to tell her that I wasn't going to any of my classes for the rest of the day. When I finally got home, I was greeted by a familiar friendly face.

"Alice!" I yelled and threw myself at her. I hurt myself in the process, but I didn't care. She hugged me back tightly.

"How are you?" she asked when we pulled away.

"I'm great," I said, faking a smile but she didn't buy it.

"Bella, I know what's going on," she said.

"What are you talking about?" I said, pretending to be clueless. Of course Alice would know.

She lightly poked my abdomen, and I looked into her butterscotch eyes. "How long have you known about it?"

"Before you did," she replied.

"Of course you did!" I snapped and walked away toward the living room. Alice followed behind me sheepishly. "I'm sorry. I snapped. I've just been an emotional wreck for weeks. I cried for twenty minutes last week when I dropped a carton of eggs on the ground and ruined them."

"Bless your heart." She led me to the couch and we sat down. "Tell me what happened."

I spent the next ten minutes blubbering to Alice, five actually coherently telling Alice what happened, and two in the bathroom sick. I sat on the couch while Alice held a cold washcloth to my head.

"Alice, what did I ever do to deserve a friend like you?" I said.

"Don't get ahead of yourself. I haven't exactly been there for you these last three years. I'm just making up for lost time," she said.

"It wasn't your fault..."

"So you're saying we should blame Edward?"

"No! That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm just saying that-"

"It's okay. We'll blame Emmett. That's what we always say. Something expensive of Esme's is broken, we blame Emmett. Room was trashed, we blame Emmett. Someone's arm get ripped off, we blame Emmett."

We both cracked up laughing. I'd missed her.

After Alice left, promising to visit again soon, I trudged off to bed. I glanced at my alarm clock after I took a hot shower and saw that it was much later then I thought, and I was exhausted from the emotional stress of today.
