Chapter 4: Carlisle Cullen
The rest of the week was kind of a blur after that. I was very confused and hurt by the way the Cullens were treating me. What had I done to make them act like their disappointed in me? What could I have possibly done to make them act this way towards me? I don't know why this bothered me so much but it did. I wanted to make friends here that way I wouldn't feel so alone. I don't even know what they are to me. It's definitely not friends but were not enemies either. All I knew was that I wished that they would stop treating me this way when they don't even know me. What was even more unsettling is the way they kept looking at my stomach and then that's when they would look at me with nothing but sheer disappointment and anger. It both confused and hurt m. It was like they knew that I was having a baby, but how? I wasn't even showing yet.
Everything was just way to weird. I still couldn't get over the fact that this Edward and Bella Cullen looked exactly like the Edward and Bella Cullen who are my parents. I felt like I was missing something huge and I just couldn't quite grasp it.
I was more than happy when Friday finally came. I really needed a break from all of this drama. I also had a doctor's appointment in the evening to check on how my baby's developing. I sighed when I learned that a Cullen was going to be my doctor. Great, another Cullen to act weird around me.
I went home after school to take a much needed nap before I would have to head on out to the doctor's office. When I woke up it was 5:30. Wait, 5:30! My appointment was at 6:00. I needed to leave now if I wanted to make it there on time.
I ended up getting there about five minutes late but luckily I didn't miss the appointment.
"Renesmee" I heard a nurse call about 20 minutes later. "Please come this way"
She did all of the usual stuff like weighing me, checking my temperature and blood pressure, and asking me all of the usual questions.
"Well Renesmee everything looks normal so far. You seem to be gaining just the right amount of weight in the right amount of time. I don't see any problems at all here. Dr. Cullen will be in just a minute" she said.
"Alright thanks" I said.
"Oh sure, no problem" she said in return.
So I sat there just playing candy crush on my phone when I heard the door open again. I looked up and saw a handsome blonde, pale, gold-eyed man that looked to be only in his early 20s. He looked surprised to see me.
"You're Renesmee right?" he asked.
"Yes that would be me" I said.
"I'm Dr. Carlisle Cullen" he said. "It says here that you're pregnant" he said.
"Yup, I'm about two months along now" I said.
Now he was looking at me like he was upset or disappointed with me. What is it with these Cullens?! Maybe he just doesn't like it when teenagers get pregnant. He probably thinks that we're just all a bunch of irresponsible kids that don't think about the consequences of our actions. It's irritating though, he shouldn't be so quick to judge without knowing the full story.
"Well I'll do an ultra sound and I'll listen to the baby's heartbeat" he said.
I just waited as he did the tests. I saw my baby on the screen and he or she looked just like a little peanut. Then he used another machine to listen to the baby's heartbeat.
"Well this is interesting" he said.
"What is?" I asked.
"I'm hearing two different heartbeats. Two clearly defined heartbeats" he said.
I could have sworn that I felt my heart stop and the blood rush to my face.
"Two heartbeats? Does that mean twins?" I asked.
"Yes, it means twins" he said.
"Why didn't the other baby appear on the ultra sound?" I asked.
"It's too soon to detect a twin pregnancy on an ultra sound. The other baby may not be as developed as the one that showed. Or the baby could be hiding behind the other baby. I won't know for sure until the next appointment when you're further along but I'm 95% sure that you're having twins" he said.
Oh my. My heart rate nearly tripled in speed as did my breathing.
"Do you know of any history of twin pregnancy? Is there a history of twins on the father's side?" he asked.
I thought about my three rapists. If I'm not mistaken Royce King's mother had an identical twin.
Oh god, I grabbed my chest. That would mean that Royce King is most likely the father.
I grabbed my chest in hopes that I could somehow slow down my heartbeat but to no avail.
"I'm not sure" I said.
"Don't you know anything about the father's history?" he asked looking upset.
"Not really" I said.
"How could you Renesmee?" he asked. I was shocked. What did he mean by that?
"How could I do what?" I asked.
"It's bad enough that you basically ruined you're future by having unprotected sex. On top of that you don't know anything about the father's history" he said sounding very angry.
Now I was upset! How dare he judge me that way without even knowing me.
"I take it that you don't think very highly of pregnant teenagers" I said getting upset myself.
"I don't like hearing about teenagers being so irresponsible and basically throwing their future's away because of a moment of stupidity" he said.
Now I was about to cry. "Then how do you feel about teenagers who were raped, or even worse, gang raped the way I was?!" I all but shouted back at him. He must have gone about ten shades paler if that were even possible. I had rendered him speechless.
I got up to leave. I didn't want to listen to him anymore. "You know what. I don't have to sit here and be treated and spoken to like this. Next time you have a pregnant teenager for a patient I suggest you think about what I said before judging her so harshly" I said before leaving.
I couldn't believe him! How could he judge me like that without even knowing me?!
I went home and just cried and cried into my pillow. About two hours later I heard someone knocking on my door. I looked out the window and I saw Carlisle. He looked like he was hurting over something.
What did he want now?
I opened the door. "Dr. Cullen what do you want?" I asked harshly. I was in no mood to be nice.
"I couldn't leave things that way. I needed to come see you and apologize" he said.
"Um okay. Would you like to come in?" I asked.
"I would like that. Thanks" he said and I stepped aside and let him in.
"I'm so sorry Renesmee. I was out of line saying those things to you. You don't know how sorry I am" he said.
"Why did you do that?" I asked.
"Let's just say that I have a special interest in you. I really cared about you from the moment I saw you" he said.
"What do you mean by that?" I asked.
"It's hard to explain. I just really cared about you from the moment that I saw you and I reacted badly to learning about your pregnancy. You're right though, I shouldn't have judged you the way I did and I'm sorry" he said.
He sounded very sincere in his apology so I decided to go ahead and forgive him. I mean, he did go out of his way to come down here and find me so he could apologize to me. I don't think that he would have done that if he didn't truly mean that he was sorry.
"How did you find out where I lived?" I asked.
"You're records" he said.
Oh.
"I'm concerned about you. You were gang raped" he barely managed to say those last two words. He said them with so much sadness to. "Have you been tested for STDs? Pregnancy may not be the only thing you have to worry about" he said.
I hadn't even thought about that. "No I haven't" I said.
He looked even more concerned. "Come down to my office tomorrow morning at 10. I'll test you for free" he said.
"Thanks doc" I said. He then surprised me by hugging me and I couldn't help but hug him back.
A/N: So what do you guys think so far? I'm having trouble deciding if the babies should be boys or girls so I wanted to ask what you guys want them to be. Do you want them to be boys or girls? They are identical so it can't be one boy and one girl.
