BELLA POV

I pulled up outside of the pharmacy in Yabbie Creek, I looked at Ruby "go on" I pushed gently "I can't I'm too scared" she said. I sighed "alright I will go, wait here" I said grabbing my bag and heading inside, I searched the rows looking for the best one, I grabbed two First Response pregnancy test boxes and headed for the counter. I climbed in the car minutes later and handed Ruby the bag "thank you so much Belle" she sighed "it's okay" I said as I pulled out of the parking space.

Charlie had taken Mckenzie into the restaurant today so Ruby and I were home alone "come on take it now, sooner you know the better" I said walking her up to the bathroom. I sat on my bed as I opened the box, three tests fell out "oh, I didn't know there were three in here" I said "oh well" I added opening the instructions "alright honey it's pretty simple, just pee on it" I said passing her a test stick. She took a deep breath and headed into the bathroom. A few minutes later she returned holding the stick "can you check when it's time, I don't think I can" she said nervously, I nodded "yeah sure" I said taking the test and putting it beside the bed "I'm just going to get a drink" she said "yeah I'll come with you" I said grabbing the test and heading downstairs. I reached the bottom of the stairs as the doorbell rang "I'll get it" I said opening the door to find a frantic Cooper on the other side "hey" I smiled "are you pregnant?" he asked "what! No!" I shrieked "because Ella told me she saw you buying a pregnancy test today and we haven't slept together so if you're pregnant then it means you cheated on me" he spluttered "Cooper, slow down!" I said "Ella told you this?" I asked "yeah" he replied "and your holding one" he said looking at my hand, I shoved it behind my back "it's not what you think" I said innocently "she was right!" he cried "no Cooper!" I said as he stormed off down the drive. I closed the door "URGH!" I moaned "everything alright?" Ruby asked appearing from the kitchen "no Cooper's annoying ex saw me buying the tests today and told him and now he think I cheated on him" I said banging my head against the door "oh I'm so sorry Bella I didn't want to cause any trouble" she said "no you didn't it's that bitch Ella" I said.

I sat on the couch with Ruby beside me "are you ready?" I asked "I think so" she replied as I took her hand. I flipped over the test and looked at the result "Rubes, it's positive" I told her, she sighed "but it could be a false positive, take the other two and we will see the results okay" I said as I handed her the other two tests. 15 minutes later we sat with three pregnancy test in front of us two positive one negative "what now?" Ruby asked confused "we go to the hospital" I said standing up and taking the tests "come on" I said as I shoved the sticks into my bag and grabbed my keys. We walked into the hospital 10 minutes later, I walked up to the front desk "hi, my sister needs to see a doctor please" I said grabbing Ruby's hand "ah Dr Walker's 11 o'clock just cancelled so you can take her spot, just take a seat and the doctor will be with you in a moment" she said gesturing to the sofas. I pulled Ruby over and handed her a magazine while we waited for the doctor.

"Ruby Buckton" Dr Walker said "can you come" she asked, I nodded and followed her in "hello Ruby, Bella, what can I do for you two today?" he asked as we sat in the seats in front of his desk "actually, it's just me Sid" Ruby spoke up "okay what's wrong then?" he asked looking at Ruby "I think I'm pregnant. I took three home pregnancy tests and two were positive and one was negative" she stated quickly as I handed Sid the tests "okay well we will take some blood from you and determine whether you are in fact pregnant" he said pulling on some latex gloves.

We waited an hour before the tests were in, Sid brought us into his office again and sat us down "okay Ruby, I got the basic blood work back and your tests show that you are in fact pregnant" he said looking up at Ruby who had tears forming in her eyes "now what I am going to do is do a sonogram and check how far along you are okay" he said calmly, Ruby nodded "Bella can stay with me right?" she asked wiping the tears from her eyes "yes of course" he said smiling warmly as he led us down the hall. Ruby climbed onto the bed and lifted her shirt, Sid grabbed a tube and took off the cap "now this will be cold okay Ruby" he warned as he squirted some gel on her stomach, she gasped at the chill but it soon warmed up and she relaxed, I took her hand and gently squeezed it as Sid placed the transducer on Ruby's stomach and moved it around gently pressing into her stomach "okay there is your baby" he said pointing to a small thing on the screen "and by its size I think it is safe to say that you are about 10 weeks along" he said looking at Ruby "are you okay Rubes?" I asked slightly concerned "is that my baby?" she asked pointing at the screen "yes it is" Sid smiled "you want to hear the heart beat?" he asked, Ruby nodded excitedly. Sid pressed a button and the room was filled with a swirling beating sound "strong and healthy" he said looking at Ruby "I'll just go get some print outs okay" he said as Ruby nodded wiping the gel off her stomach and pulling the screen closer to her.

"That's my baby" she said smiling at me "yeah" I smiled "are you happy?" I asked "well I wasn't at first but seeing that baby makes me realise that this was meant to happen" she said touching the screen gently "well now all you have to do is tell Casey….and Charlie" I said "yeah, that should be fun" she said sarcastically as Sid walked into the room holding a few sonogram photos. We walked out of the hospital room and out into the car park both of us looking at the photos "Rubes I have to go see Cooper, you know I have to tell him that your pregnant right" I said looking at her nervously "yeah, it's okay you need to clear things up with him" she said as I drove towards the house.

20 minutes later

I pulled up outside of Cooper's place, I sat in my car for a moment thinking about the day I had when suddenly it occurred to me that I should have changed when I was at home. I was wearing denim blue skinny jeans, a white vest top and black high heel pumps. 'stuff it' I thought to myself as I climbed out of my car and walked up the drive way. I pressed the doorbell and waited for an answer, within minutes Ella opened the door wearing a tiny red bikini "oh it's you" she spat "yeah it is and just so you know I don't appreciate you telling lies to ruin my relationship" I said coldly "what I was just telling the truth, I mean Cooper deserves to know that his ex is a lying cheating whore" she said innocently "Now you listen to me skank-a-rella, you mess with my relationship and I will make it my life's mission to destroy you. Understand?" I spat angrily "and just so you know, I'm not his ex, now I want to see my boyfriend" I said pushing past her "hey you can't come in here" she squeaked "yeah watch me princess" I said walking past her and up to Cooper's room.

I walked down the hall my heels tapping against the wood, I pushed open Cooper's door to find him lying on his bed reading a book, he did a double take when he saw me as Ella rushed up behind me "I'm sorry Coop, I'll get her out of here" she said grabbing my arm and yanking on it. She couldn't budge me, if one thing I had learnt from being the youngest and only girl with three brothers was strength and I could tell I was could beat her in that department "get your slimy hands off my now before I break them off" I snapped "Bella what are you doing here, I don't want to talk to you" Cooper said calmly "I don't care you don't have a choice" I snapped "Ella is a liar, what she saw this morning was wrong and she knows that" I said looking over my shoulder "I saw the pregnancy test in your hand Bella" Cooper said "yeah I know, it was Ruby's" I said, Cooper looked at me "what?" he asked "Ruby came to me last night, said she thought she was pregnant, I drove her to Yabbie Creek this morning to get a test, she was too nervous to buy it herself so I got it for her, she took the test but wanted me to read the result first which is when you saw it, while we were waiting for the result" I said "Oh yeah like you can believe that!" Ella scoffed from behind me, Cooper looked at her briefly. "Fine, I'll prove it. I will take a pregnancy test to show you that I am not pregnant" I said, Cooper looked at me "what?" he asked "I bought two boxes today cause I thought they only had one test in them and when we got home I realised that there were three in each box, I was going to take the other box back but I am going to prove you both wrong" I said pulling the box of pregnancy tests out of my bag "and when I prove you both wrong, you are going to back off okay" I said to Ella who just rolled her eyes and letting me know that she had no intention of stopping her games. I opened the pack, took out a test and threw the others at Cooper before walking off to the bathroom.

I returned to the room a few minutes later, "you have to wait another two minutes" I said taking the box from him and putting it in my bag. Two minutes later I looked down at the test and smiled before handing it to Cooper "negative" he said showing Ella "ARGH!" she groaned and stomped off down the hall. I looked at Cooper for a few seconds before turning on my heels and walking down the hall. I heard him running after me but even in my heels I managed to stay ahead of him, I just got out the front door and slightly down the drive when Cooper grabbed my arm turning me back to face him "I'm sorry" he said sadly "I should have never believed her, it's just I didn't know what to believe and when I saw that test in your hand I freaked out" he said looking at the test he held in his own hand "well in case you don't believe that, I have this" I said taking one of Ruby's sonogram pictures from my bag and handing it to him "see, Patient: Ruby Buckton" I said pointing out her name "yeah I believed you when you told me , you didn't have to take a test you know" he said smiling "yeah I did, I wanted to show you what Ella is capable of" I said looking up to the second storey hallway window where Ella once again stood. I decided I would show her who won, placing my hand on the back of Cooper's neck I pulled him down to my level "now you have to promise to trust me okay" I said seriously "I promise" he said, I smiled as I pulled him forward and into a passionate kiss, I quickly opened my eyes and saw that Ella still stood at the window with a horrible scowl on her face, I smiled and closed my eyes as I continued to kiss my boyfriend.
