Stephanie Meyer owns everything Twilight
"Where are you going?" Bella asks Alice as she continues to try on more and more clothes.
"Lux, heard it's the place to be." Lux is a small club just a little off campus. It's actually the same club Bella met her sperm donor. She went once in the beginning of the year and didn't plan on returning.
"How about this one?" Alice models another dress and asks for her roomie's opinion. It's a small, very small, black dress but you can never go wrong with a little black dress.
"Don't you think that's a little too much?"
Alice stares at Bella as if she has two heads, "that's the point."
Bella looks up to the ceiling and thanks the heavens she's not having a girl.
"Any plans for the night?"
"Nope, I'll probably just study for the psych exam."
"Bella, it's a Friday night."
"Alice, did you forget?" She pats her belly.
"Of course not! You can still have fun. Actually, I heard pregnant girls are real fun." She emphasizes the real.
"I've had enough fun," Bella laughs, "take a shot for me though."
"Not a problem! So how do I look?"
"Amazing, as usual." She really looks good, she always does. Although the dress is kind of short and Bella wouldn't be caught dead in it, it's perfect on Alice. "Ali, it's almost 10."
"Shit, I'm late. Rose is gonna kill me." Bella chuckles because Rose hates tardiness. Rosalie Hale, is a childhood friend of Alice and she's gorgeous, like super model gorgeous. She can also be a bitch when things don't go her way.
"Be safe, call if you need me." Bella yells as Alice runs out the door.
Silence greets Bella as she lies in bed with her eyes closed and thinks about her future. She rubs her belly as she feels another flutter. The flutters are occurring more and more. Soon she'll actually be able to feel the baby kick.
She sighs and reaches for her phone. As if she enjoys torturing herself she clicks on the messages from E. It's become a habit for her to reread his messages as painful as they are.
Ur crazy if u think ur havin my baby. Not happenin.
I dnt even know u and ur talkin about havin my kid? U dnt even know my last name.
Look, just take a test and if u are we'll get it taken care of.
What do u mean no abortion?
You are not having my child.
He didn't even reply when she told him it was just a scare.
If only he knew.
Bella understands where he's coming from. They barely know each other and she only remembers little details of him. Although she can't recall his first name she knows he goes by E.
His eyes are green.
He's tall.
Lives downtown.
She knows some things.
People get pregnant from one-night stands all the time and they raise the baby together just fine. Friends raise kids together too. Why couldn't they be friends who have a child together? Co-parent or something. She's not asking for marriage, hell she's not even asking for money. Her son deserves a father though. E needs to man the hell up and Bella is finally ready to give him a piece of her mind.
I have to tell you something,she sends and regrets it instantly. Maybe she wasn't ready to confront him. She feels so fucking stupid for even trying to reach out to him knowing it's a lost cause. Maybe he won't reply.
Who is this?
He has to be fucking kidding.
Is he serious?
She wishes he wouldn't have replied. Anything would have been better than him not remember her. She starts to feel heartbroken all over again. Her breathing becomes jaded and she tries to take even her breaths. She really wants to hate him. If only she could punch him right now and knock some sense into him. She doesn't know whether to cry or to go out searching for him.
"Sorry your father's such a dick," She whispers to the baby. She doesn't reply to him, it's useless. The tears fall and only stop once she's finally asleep.
"Shhhhh, I think Bella's sleep. Y'all have to be quiet." Bella hears Alice half whisper, half yell.
"Ow! What the hell?" a male voice says, "you need to clean up."
Alice giggles and Bella knows she must be wasted. Alice is also the reason the room is so messy, she didn't pick up any of the clothes and shoes she left behind.
"Alice, what are you doing?" Bella asks as she turns on the light and looks at the clock next to her bed. It reads 2:47.
"Look you woke her up! I said to be quiet." Alice yells.
"I think you should quiet down, hey Bella." Bella notices Rose is there along with two guys. They can't be serious and Bella feels pretty annoyed. Why wouldn't they go to Rose's place since she has her own apartment? Rose pushes her legs over a little and sits on the end of her bed.
"Make yourself comfortable, why don't ya?" Bella say, "So, who are they?"
"We aren't staying, just wanted to make sure they got home safe. I'm Jasper by the way and this is my cousin Emmett." He's tall, blonde with blue eyes. He's very pretty. Bella feels the other guy, Emmett staring at her and they make eye contact. He looks so familiar. He's big as hell, kind of like the hulk. Rose was definitely after this one.
"I know you from somewhere," he says to Bella, trying to remember.
"Eh, I don't think you do. I don't really go out."
"No, I do. I just can't think where? What the hell?" He looks frustrated and Bella feels uncomfortable. She doesn't recognize him at all.
"It's not that serious," Rose said. "Is she going to be alright?" She points to Alice, who is lying on her bed. She looks dead but they all know better.
"I'm fine, just thinking of all the naughty things I could do to Jasper." Everyone laughs. Drunken Alice has no filter. "He looks so yummy, I just wanna – mmm. So good."
"Okay ladies, this was fun but we really have to go." Jasper said, looking at his watch. "Ready Em?"
"Yeah, nice meeting you all. Call me tomorrow Rose," he gives her a hug. He looks at Bella again and she can't help but to look his way. "I know you." Eh. Bella tries to think of how she could possibly know this beast and decides he's just weird.
"Sorry, you have the wrong person." This is getting old.
"Nah, you know E?" Bella's heart stops. There's no way he just asked her that. No way. Nope. He didn't.
"Who?" Bella decides to play dumb and denies everything. E said so himself, she didn't know him.
"My brother, Edward, E? You came over a couple months ago."
"I really think you have the wrong person. I don't know any Edwards or Es."
"She's lying, her baby daddy's name is E." Drunken Alice is dead. The vibe has definitely been killed and no one is talking. Emmett and Jasper gawk at her stomach in disbelief. Alice is in her own little world, so oblivious to what she just blurted. Rose just looks confused. Bella? She wants to hide in a hole.
Breaking the silence Bella remind everyone Alice is drunk and she doesn't know what she's talking about.
"Right, we really do have to go. Have a good night." Jasper says as he drags Emmett, who is still focusing on Bella's stomach, out the door.
"I think you just met your uncles, baby." She rubs her belly out of habit. "What the hell just happened?"
