BELLA POV
It had been a week since the trial and it was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I was happier than ever and finally enjoying my life. I was sitting on my bed using my laptop when Ruby quietly knocked on my door "come in" I smiled as she popped her head around the door "hey, ah I'm out do you have any?" she asked waving a box of Tampax in front of me, I laughed "ah yeah, bottom drawer" I said pointing to my dresser "thanks" she said as she grabbed some and left. I shook my head and laughed when suddenly my smile disappeared, I quickly climbed off the bed and grabbed my calendar and flicked it open, I stopped dead when I realised that I was late – 8 days late, I put my hand over my mouth in horror. I grabbed my keys and quickly looked in the mirror, I was wearing a pair of light denim short shorts and a loose orange tank top. I nodded and hurried out the door to the pharmacy.
Half an hour later I was staring at a positive pregnancy test. I was so shocked, but I decided to take another . I waited two minutes and checked 'negative' popped up on the screen and I frowned. I walked over to Ruby's room and knocked "Ruby I think I'm pregnant" I said and she looked at me "what?" she asked "yeah look" I said handing her the two pregnancy test "oh" she said "you should go to the doctor" Ruby said and I nodded "can you come with me" I asked and Ruby smiled "of course you were there for me" she said and I nodded as we headed out of the house to the hospital. I waited nervously in the waiting room when Sid came out "Bella" he said and I followed him into the room. He sat down and looked at me waiting for me to speak, instead I just took the two tests out of my bag and set them on his desk "okay, well I will do a few tests and sort this out okay" he said and I nodded "uh first which one came out first?" he asked "the first one I took was positive the second was negative" I said and Sid nodded "did you wait longer than the suggested time to check the result" he asked and I nodded "yeah I couldn't bring myself to look at it for about 10 minutes" I said and Sid nodded as he took some blood.
I waited for what felt like an hour before my phone rung, Cooper's name flashed across the screen and I smacked my head with my hand "shit!" I cried "what?" Ruby asked looking up from her magazine "I was supposed to meet Cooper for lunch" I said as I pressed answer "hey" I said "hey what happened?" he asked "oh sorry I got caught up –" I was interrupted by Sid nodding and holding up a folder, I nodded "babe how about we meet at the diner in half and hour" I said "okay, see you then" he said "yeah" I replied hanging up and heading into the room, Ruby following. I sat in the seat and Ruby reached across and took my hand, giving it a slight squeeze. "Well Bella your test gave us a result and as I suspected you're not pregnant" he said and I let out a sigh "oh thank god!" I said "why did you think I wasn't pregnant" I asked "because most negative pregnancy tests revert back to positive and you can usually see a faint negative sign that has been wiped away by the air" he said and I nodded "so I am definitely not pregnant" I asked making sure "absolutely not" he said and I smiled "thank you so much Sid" I said and he nodded "anytime" he replied as we walked out of the doctor's office.
I walked into the diner a lot happier, I saw Cooper sitting at a table near the counter and I wandered over. I kissed him and sat down "you alright?" he asked "yeah I'm fine" I smiled "sure?" he asked and I laughed "okay the reason I was late this morning was because I was at the doctor's" I said and his eyes widened "what are you okay?" he asked panicked "babe, babe I'm fine. But I thought I was pregnant" I said and his mouth "oh another baby Braxton on the way!" Colleen cried from behind me and I dropped my head "of all the times!" I whispered to myself "are you with child young Isabella, I mean having a baby out of wedlock isn't ideal but I'm sure you could arrange a wedding before the little one pops out" she said as Cooper fled the diner "Colleen, I'm not pregnant! It was a false alarm" I said "oh well you can keep trying" she said "for christ's sake Colleen I don't want to be pregnant" I said before running out after Cooper. I saw him walking back towards the car park and I had to run to keep up with him "Cooper!" I yelled but he kept walking, I continued to run and eventually ran in front of him, grabbing his arms forcing him to stop. He flung his arms away from me accidently pushing me causing me to fall, he quickly grabbed my arm stopping me "baby I'm so sorry" he said still holding me "I'm not pregnant" I said and he looked at me "I thought that was what you said" he said smiling as he picked me up off the ground "I'm sorry it's just with mum and all I don't think I could handle having my own kid yet" he said looked down on me "well you don't have to worry, it's highly unlikely that I'll get pregnant anyway because I am on the pill" I said and he nodded "no idea what that means but okay" he said taking my hand as we walked away.
CHARLIE POV
Brax and I were sitting at the table making a list of stuff to get for camping when the door burst open and Ruby, Casey, Bella and Cooper all came crashing through "hey" they smiled as they walked over to the table, Casey stood behind Ruby and wrapped his arms around her neck and shoulders as she took his hand and Cooper wrapped his arms around Bella's waist pulling her close to him as they linked their fingers together. I smiled as I watched them all finally happy together, "what are you guys doing?" Ruby asked "we are planning our camping trip" I said cheerfully as Heath and Bianca walked through the doors with the twins and Darcy "hey what's going on?" she asked "we're planning our camping trip" I repeated "who's camping trip?" Bella asked "ours, Brax, Mckenzie, me, Ruby, Casey, you and Cooper, and you two" I said pointing at Heath and Bianca "do we get a say in this?" Bianca asked "nup" Brax said smiling "sounds fun" Heath said "yeah I'm in" Casey nodded "I don't know" Bella said "oh come on Bella we always had fun when we went camping" Heath said "yeah and the last time we went camping you guys dyed my hair blue!" she cried and we burst into laughter "seriously?" Ruby asked looking at Brax and Heath "well she started it" Brax said pointing his pencil at Bella "yeah" Heath and Casey said simultaneously "what did you do?" I asked propping my elbow on the table "nothing major" she shrugged "Bella" Brax said and Bella sighed.
"okay so maybe I dragged their sleeping bags onto inflatable mattresses and pushed them into the lake" she said examining her nails while Ruby, Cooper , Bianca and I cracked up laughing "and.." Heath pushed and she rolled her eyes "and then maybe I popped the mattresses with a BB gun" she said shrugging her shoulders "WHOA!" Ruby said covering her mouth as Cooper, Bianca and I tried to hide our laughter "you guys play rough" Cooper said "she has always been the best at pranks" Casey said nodding to Bella and I shook my head "I would have never guessed" "so when are we going?" Ruby asked "this weekend" I said and they all looked shocked "as in 3 and a half days" Bella repeated and I nodded "yep" I smiled "this is crazy" Bella laughed removing herself from Cooper's grasp and pulling him towards the stairs.
