Bella:
"I'm pregnant," I blurt.
I close my eyes, preparing myself. It's more my father I'm worried about. My mum will probably be thrilled.
"That's great! Oooh, how far along are you? This is amazing!" My mum gushes excitedly. When I open my eyes, I see she's smiling widely in excitement.
"Um, about 12 weeks. We're going to the first scan next week." We're both extremely nervous about the first scan, but also insanely excited. We'll get to see our baby for the first ever time.
"Pregnant, huh? Guess I can't really comment of having a baby out of wedlock." That's true. My dad knocked my mum up before he proposed.
"What do you, uh, think?" I ask tentatively. He seems to be coping better than I thought he would.
"My baby girls growing up, but at least you seem to have found a good man. I'm too young to be a grandpa, though," My dad shakes his head, while I laugh.
The one thing he decides to comment on is being too young to be a grandfather.
"We'll have to all get together for a family meal some time!" My mother decides, squealing in joy. Edward looks a little overwhelmed.
"I'm sure my mum and dad would love that," Edward nods, grinning.
"Great!"
My mum and Edward exchange numbers, so that they can arrange the meal with Edward's parents. After the questions die down about the pregnancy, the TV is turned on. I snuggle into Edward, happy that we now have all our parents accepting of the pregnancy.
Just our luck, a gossip channel is the first channel that comes on. Dad's just about to change the channel, when an article about Edward and me comes on.
"At Isabella Swan's recent press conference, the main topic was of her new boyfriend, Edward Cullen. Isabella unsuccessfully tried to dodge questions from a Miss Lauren Mallory. We spoke to Miss Mallory, who claimed Isabella confirmed she was in fact pregnant and living with Edward Cullen.
We'll be watching closely to see if these rumours are true!"
At this point, I'm beyond freaking out. Mum and dad look worried for me, while Edward looks a mixture of confused and upset.
"You never said anything about that," Edward frowns at me.
"I'm sorry, but your black eye sorta dominated conversation between us," I reply, sighing.
"You got a black eye?" That'd be my dad. Who sounds angry.
"Misunderstanding," Edward replies casually. "Do you know this Lauren girl?" Edward focusses on questioning me instead of my dad's angry glare.
"She went to Forks High. I never taught her, though," I admit.
"A misunderstanding?" My dad asks, still glaring.
"I was protecting my sister. Why didn't you say anything earlier?" Edward, once again, questions me.
"It slipped my mind!" I huff, getting annoyed. "Are you saying this is my fault?" I raise an eyebrow at him, in warning.
"No! Did I ever say I was?" Edward replies angrily.
"Everyone! Shut up and quit arguing!" Mum shouts. We all turn to look at her. "Weren't you listening? They're just rumours! So what if people know, let them speculate. Don't reply and they'll finally get bored of you," mum rants, rolling her eyes at us.
I'm sure we all wear matching expressions of being chastised.
A/N: What do you think of their reaction? :D
