Chapter Eleven
I was awoken by a knock at the door. Looking around me I realised that I had cried myself to sleep on the lounge. I felt like crap from all the crying and my face probably looked the same, but I didn't care right now. I opened the door to see Emmett standing there, I had completely forgotten that I had invited him over this afternoon. He looked down on me with a smile until he saw my face.
"Shit Bella what happened to you?" He asked walking into my house, closing the door behind him.
"Just some news from the doctor. Have you figured out what you're going to do about Rosalie?" I asked while walking towards the lounge room and taking a seat, he sat right next to me. I was trying to change the subject because I didn't want to talk about my problems.
"She won't talk to me anymore. I've tried talking to her but she just ignores me now, I'm at the end of my rope. I've been thinking of telling Edward really soon but then I think about how if I do that there's no guarantee that she'll come back to me and let me take care of her and the baby. Did you know her parents kicked her out? She's been staying with us for the last few weeks. She's so stubborn I'm scared if I tell Edward and he gets angry she'll run off and I won't even get a chance to be a part of the baby's life even if it is as an uncle. I just don't want to lose her Bella even if it means I have to stand on the side line watching her play family with my brother." Bella furrowed her eyes in confusion.
"So you're not going to tell him or what? I don't understand Emmett." He shook his head and looked down at his hands.
"Not yet at least. I don't want to lose Rosalie more then I already have. I can't risk it, I love her and I don't care if I sound whipped, but I would do anything for her." I grabbed his hands in mine in a reassuring gesture.
"I understand Emmett I just wish things weren't so complicated we shouldn't have to deal with things like this yet we're still teenagers." I would do anything for Edward just as Emmett would do anything for Rosalie. I understood where Emmett was coming from it was easier for me to be friends with Edward then not have him in my life at all. I tried that the first week and it hurt too much.
I still didn't know what I wanted to do in the way of telling Edward about the baby but I had decided I needed to tell my father. When it came to my dad I had no idea how he would react would he accept it and go on like nothing had changed or would he completely flip and kick me out. What do I do if he kicks me out? It's not as if I have anywhere else to go. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't realise that Emmett was calling my name.
"What were you saying Emmett?" His face showed the concern he was feeling for me.
"Seriously what's wrong Bells?" What did he call me? He's never called me anything besides Swan and Bella, well of course he's called me mean names but I've learnt to tune them out.
"Bells?" He shrugged his shoulders.
"Yeah I thought seen as your letting me unload all my problems on you, I'll give you a nick name to show that you're my friend. And friends unload on each other it doesn't go one way." He said giving me a look that he wasn't going to let me change the subject. I sighed, what more damage could be done if I told one person the whole story. He trusted me enough to tell me everything he was feeling with Rosalie why couldn't I tell him about Edward?
"You promise not to tell anyone? You have to swear." He nodded like a little kid who was being told the biggest secret in the world, he even held out his pinkie to me, just like his sister, which I grabbed with my own.
"Alright well you know the day Rosalie and Edward broke up was the same day of Alice's party." He nodded his head showing that he was following along.
"Well that night at the party me and Edward kind of sleep together. It didn't end there though we continued seeing each other secretly until Rosalie told him she was pregnant. We ended it so he could go back to Rose and take care of her and the baby, which I later found out from you isn't even his." I took a breath knowing that I was coming to the juicy part of the story.
"But the problem now is that I'm pregnant and there's no chance it can't be Edward's. I haven't been with anyone since maybe a year before him. So I don't know what to do because Edward's excited about Rose's baby and it's not even his and I don't want to cause you any problems with Rose leaving by telling Edward now. Everything is just really messed up right now Emmett and I can't talk to anyone. I can't talk to Alice because as much as I love her she has a big mouth." I put my head in my hands and started crying my life was truly fucked up and I had no idea how to fix it anymore.
I felt Emmett's arms wrap around me giving me a hug, which I really needed.
"I'm sorry Bella, I wish things were simpler. I'm just as lost as you are right now but I promise that I'll help you get through this." I stayed in Emmett's arms until my crying subsided. When I looked at up at him he had been crying to.
"Look at us we're a pair of girls crying like this." I laughed at him calling himself a girl.
"Thanks Emmett for that I really needed someone to talk to you." He gave me his dimpled smile. Just as I was about to get up to get us some drinks I heard the front door shut. Emmett gave me a questioning look.
"It's my dad. Can I ask a favour? Could you stay here while I tell him about me being pregnant I don't think I could do it by myself."
"Sure Bella." He nodded his head and took my hands this time to reassure me.
"Dad can you come in here please?" My dad walked into the lounge room not really noticing me and Emmett and took a seat in his recliner. At least he was sitting for this.
"Dad I have something really important to tell you and you're going to hate me for it but just know that I am really sorry and I did not mean for this to happen at all." He looked up at me then hearing how scared and worried I was.
"I'm pregnant" I whispered I wasn't even sure he heard me until I heard him yelling. I had never heard him yell at me before I was lucky to get a hello.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE PREGNANT? YOU'RE 18 YEARS OLD YOU ARE TO YOUNG TO BE A MOTHER? YOU'RE JUST LIKE YOU MOTHER IRRESPONISBLE. JESUS CHRIST BELLA YOU'RE A SMART ENOUGH GIRL TO KNOW TO KEEP YOUR LEGS SHUT. WHO'S THE IDIOT THAT KNOCKED YOU UP?" I shook my head I wasn't going to tell him I had only told Emmett. If I told my dad he could go over there and tell Edward straight away.
"What you don't know his name or you don't know who it is?" My father sneered. I started crying again my dad thought I was slut even if he didn't come out and saying straight. The last thing I expected to hear was Emmett.
"It's me Chief Swan. I'm the father." My dad looked at Emmett as though he didn't know he was there before. I looked up at Emmett shocked. Why was he saying that? He wasn't the baby's father. He turned to me giving me a look that told me not to argue with him right now.
"You're the drop kick who knocked my daughter up?" My dad fumed while pointing a finger at Emmett.
"Yes Sir." I should speak up and end this lie right now but I didn't have the courage to. My dad turned back to me and saw the tears running down my face and the look on his face slightly soften.
"Bella I need you to leave right now." He was kicking me out where was I going to go? I had no where besides here and my mums and I didn't want to go back to Phoenix.
"You're kicking me out?" I asked in a quivering voice.
"God no Bella I just need time to think right now. Just stay at a friend's house or something. I don't know what to think right now and it's better if you're not here to get the end of it." I nodded my head at least he wasn't kicking me out right now. I got up and gave my dad a hug as I went upstairs to pack some clothes. When I went back down Emmett was waiting by the door for me.
"Come for a drive with me while we figure everything out." I just nodded my head because I couldn't form words right now. If I went with Emmett it meant I had someone there to talk to about everything and I needed to talk to him about him claiming he's the father.
