Bella:
"I think I'm pregnant." Um, what? I mean…what? She's…what?
"Is Cowboy…?" I trail off, then I feel bad for asking.
"Yeah," Alice nods.
"Does he…?" Again, I trail off.
"I haven't told him, no," Alice answers, clearly knowing what I mean even if I only half asked the question.
"I didn't realise you guys were that…close," I finish, for lack of better word.
"Uh, yeah," Alice blushes. Yeah, she actually blushes. I'd be more shocked if she hadn't just told me she was pregnant.
"Have you done a test?" I ask.
"Twelve, all positive," Alice answers. She works in the local pharmacy, so I'm not surprised that she managed to get hold of twelve pregnancy tests.
"How long have you known?" I ask her.
"A few days. Look, I'm really sorry for everything I've said to you, I was such a bitch, I just…I guess I didn't want you to end up in my position," Alice explains.
"Edward and I have only kissed occasionally, I mean I haven't known him that long," I tell her, "Wait, shit! No, I mean, I haven't known him romantically that long…" I quickly add so that I don't offend her.
"I know Jasper and I haven't been together that long but, I really feel like I've found my soulmate," Alice tells me. For as long as I've known Alice, she's believed in soulmates, so when she says this I'm pretty shocked.
"Really?" I question.
"Yeah, I love him so much already. One thing just led to another, and now…I'm knocked up!" Alice says.
"I think you need to tell him. Cowboy, I mean," I tell her, though if I were in her situation I have no idea what I'd do. "Are you planning on keeping it?"
"Of course! No way am I having an abortion!" Alice quickly tells me.
"Ok, you kinda need to tell Cowboy, then," I tell her, though she just chuckles.
"Will you ever call him Jasper?" Alice asks.
"Nope. Now, I think you should tell him," I tell her seriously.
"Ok, I will. Tonight," Alice nods firmly in her decision. "Are we ok now? I'm really sorry, and I honestly don't think you and Edward should break up," Alice adds.
"Good. Yeah, just promise you'll take your hormones out on Cowboy, next time. Edward and I…in the future we may get together, but right now he's got so much going on in his life that a girlfriend would just stress him out more," I tell her, getting up to leave.
"Can I call you after I've spoken to him?" She asks nervously.
"Of course," I tell her as we walk down the stairs.
Some people might not agree with me forgiving Alice so quickly, but right now with her parent's and pregnancy, she's got enough worries without a friend who's ignoring her.
I say a quick goodbye to Cowboy and Edward, but just before I'm about to leave Edward corners me in the hallway.
"I kn-know y-you said a-a-about waiting, b-but can I j-just k-k…uh, kiss you o-once more?" Edward asks, breaking my heart just a little bit.
"Of course," I tell him, leaning forward and meeting his lips with my own. We kiss longer than we've kissed before, mostly because I don't let him go. I have to keep reminding myself that it's better that Edward and I wait.
"B-Bye, Bella," Edward mumbles, not looking at me in an attempt to hide his tears.
"I'll wait, Edward. As soon as you're ready, I'll be there," I promise him, softly kissing his cheek and leaving before I change my mind.
On the drive back home I allow the tears to fall. I know it's the right decision to wait, but it just hurts so damn much. Edward's so sweet, and handsome, and treats me so well. I know I'll wait for him, though there's a part of me that worries he'll find someone better.
I wait in the driveway for a bit, waiting for my tears to clear, before I walk inside the house. My parents are sat in the living room, so I mumble a quick hello and then run up to my room. I don't need to tell them where I've been, they'll just assume I've been at the Cullen's house.
Lying on my bed reading my book, I'm startled when my phone begins to ring. I quickly check the number and sees it's Alice, so I immediately answer.
"I think I love him even more!" Alice screeches down the phone.
"Um, who?" I chuckle. Obviously her hormones have gone…for now.
"Jasper, Cowboy, whatever you want to call him!" She squeals.
"I'm guessing he took the news well, then?" I ask.
"Yeah! He said that he knows we're both young, but we both love each other so we'll make it work. And he said that if my parents aren't happy and kick me out, I can always move in with him!" She says excitedly and all in one breathe.
"That's great! I'm sure Esme and Carlisle will be ok with the news, though," They've always been supportive of their children, and while they won't be happy with Alice being pregnant so young, I can't see them kicking out their own child. "Have you told Emmett yet?" I hear a gulp from the other end of the line.
"Um…no…" Alice mutters, clearly forgetting about her large, over-protective, older brother. "He's going to kill Jasper, isn't he?" Alice mumbles.
"My advice would be to tell him in front of your parents. That way there are more witnesses if he does," I tell her.
"That's probably a good idea," Alice squeaks out.
"Have you told, uh, Edward?" I ask, feeling my heart tug just at the thought of him.
"Not yet. I suppose I better go and tell him, hadn't I?" Alice asks.
"Probably," I tell her.
"Ok, bye then!" Alice says, sounding a little happier.
"Bye oil-rig pixie!" I tease her, ending the call.
Now I'm thinking of Edward again. Maybe this is going to be harder than I originally thought. I miss him so much already, and it's only been a couple of hours. I wonder if he's missing me as much as I'm missing him? Probably not.
Should I show him how much I miss him? No. That'll make things worse. No, instead, I'll just act normal. I can act normal around him. I can act like the mention of his name doesn't bring tears to my eyes. Yep. Easy.
********LLB********
I drive myself to school the next morning, as I'm not sure I could bear sitting next to Edward and not attacking him. Seems like I'll be driving myself to school a lot from now on. As I pull into the car park, I spot Alice, Cowboy and Edward standing by Alice's car. I walk over to them, waving a quick hello.
"How are you handling the news, Cowboy?" I grin to him.
"I'm doin' alright, Miss Bella," Cowboy says, nodding as he does.
I give Edward a little smile, and then ask him the same question.
"A-Alright, I gu-guess. I w-wish J-Jasper would ha-have, um, waited," Edward says, looking at the ground and not me. I feel so horrible right now.
"But you get to be an uncle!" Alice squeals in delight, while Edward shrugs a little.
"Have you planned when you're going to tell your parents and Emmett?" I ask Alice and Cowboy.
"Probably when mum and dad get back, since Emmett and Queen Bee will come and visit them," Alice nods.
"Oh! I wonder how Queeny will take the news!" I say, feeling a little sorry for Alice having to tell Queeny. She'll most probably make some snide comments.
"Oh god," Alice whines, burying her head in Cowboy's chest.
"Who's Queeny?" Cowboy asks.
"Emmett's girlfriend. She had two nicknames in high school, Queen Bee and Bitch. So, Alice and I merged them to form Queen Bee for Bitch. Her actual name is Rosalie," I explain to him.
"Wait! Jazz, you've never met my parents before, have you?" Alice asks, and Cowboy shakes his head. "So the first time you meet my parents will be telling them you got me pregnant?" Cowboy visibly pales. It's actually a little comical, and I'm glad I'm not him right now.
"I'd be more worried about Emmett," I comment.
"H-He's scary," Edward agrees. I look at him, to see him quickly look away from me.
"I should probably go to my first lesson." Before I start bawling like a baby.
"Ok, bye, see you at lunch!" Alice calls out, waving as I make my quick escape.
Well, this is definitely harder than I thought it would be. Not that I didn't think it would be hard, but this is just worse.
