I Do Not Own Twilight. I Really Wish I Did.
I sat on the floor of the bathroom with Emily holding my hand. The test beeped. I picked it up off the counter and started crying. Emily pulled me into a hug and I cried into her shirt. She pulled me from the bathroom and I finally calmed down. I was pregnant and there was nothing I could do.
I sat on the couch and nodded. Instantly, I was surrounded by hugs and 'Congradulations'. Billy wheeled over to where I sat. "Bella, we need to talk."
I nodded and followed him outside. He stopped in the grass under a small oak tree and I sat beside him on the ground. "Bella, I have only heard of 1 case like yours, and it didn't end well for the mother. The pregnancy will be extremely difficult. You will get very sick, and you will have to eventually drink blood to sustain the fetus. The labor will literally kill you. You only have two options. I don't really like either one, but, in the end, it is you choice."
I looked at him nervously. "What are my choices?"
"Well, the first one, which I don't think you will go for, is an abortion."
I stopped him there, "No, that isn't an option. I will not kill my baby. It is all I have left of him."
He smiled, "I didn't think you would. Even I would pick the next choice over that. The next option is that we need to track down a vampire. We need someone to change you after the delivery."
"Okay, but what am I going to tell Charlie? Where am I going to stay?"
"Well, I think you should stay at the Cullen's house since it is empty. As for Charlie, you are going to leave a note saying you have run away. In a few months, after he and Sue are married…"
"Wait," I said full of shock, "Charlie and Sue are engaged? I didn't even know they were dating. Why would I only have to 'run away' until they are married?"
"He didn't tell you. They have been dating since about 6 months after Harry died, that makes it a year and a half now. They are getting married in 6 months on their anniversary. Since Sue is a tribal elder, Charlie will be told the tribe's histories. He will know about everything."
"When are you going to tell him? I want to be there."
"We figured to do it 2 months before the wedding. You will only be pregnant for around a month and a half. How far along are you?" he asked and I counted backwards on my head.
"I am 2 weeks. That leaves 1 month."
"Yes, that leaves only 1 month to track down a vampire," he said looking down.
"I think I know where I can find one who would be willing to help. I need to go to the Cullen's house. Billy, do you want to come?"
He nodded and wheeled himself to my truck. I helped him in and put his chair in the back. We drove in silence. Once inside the Cullen's house, I ran straight for Carlisle's study. It didn't take long for me to find a list of phone numbers. I knew if anyone could help me, it would be Carmen and Eleazar. Edward had told me a lot about them. They were both part of the Volturi, but now live in Denali. Carmen was very motherly, and Eleazar was very smart. I took Carmen's number and walked back downstairs to where Billy was waiting.
