Chapter Thirteen: It Will Happen
Before I start, I would just like to say I am sorry. I did not mean to upset anyone by the last chapter, and I am hoping that didn't ruin the rest of the story for you! Bella is not staying with Edward just because she took a vow, she is stay with Edward in hopes that things will go back to normal. Edward is not the one abusing her, James is, and James is one of Edward's identities. I promise you that it wont always be be about abuse. Again, I am sorry if I offended or made anyone upset! On with the story...
"Pass the mash potatoes please Emmett." I said.
"There you go." He said handing me the bowl.
I plopped some more mash potatoes on to my plate listening to the familiar chatter coming from all around the table. I smiled handing the bowl to Edward, I began to eat them slowly continuing to listen.
"So Edward, how is therapy going?" Alice asked.
"Good, it's really helping." He said.
"We haven't had any signs of his other identities in two weeks!" I said.
"Wow!" Everyone said.
We finished eating and Edward and I worked on getting the kitchen all cleaned up.
"Oh my god Bella! I made more designs! I want your opinions on them!" Alice said walking in with her sketch pad.
"Alice, I don't know anything about fashion." I told her.
"I know, just tell me how you like them." She said.
We sat at the table while Edward finished with the dishes and went page by page.
"That one looks a little short, the jeans I mean. Maybe a little longer." I said pointing to an outfit that was really cute.
"Right, longer." She said.
She wrote longer next to the jeans and we went on to the next one. We soon finished looking at all her designs and it was time to watch some movies. Esme popped some popcorn as we all found a seat in the living room. I'm not sure what movie it was, and quite frankly I wasn't paying much attention to it. Edward was very distracting with all the romantic whispered and his wandering hands.
Later That Night
"Aw man, hours and hours of looking at clothes and then getting sucked into trying some on!" I said plopping on the couch.
"As long as she stays away from me." Edward said.
"I think she should start doing mens clothing." I said.
"Shut up." He laughed.
He laid on the couch with his head in my lap. I started to stroke his hair lightly, we talked about everything and nothing at all. We ended a perfect day with a perfect night together in bed doing what married couples do in bed.
A Couple Weeks Later
I bit my lip as I looked down at the little white stick in my hand.
Knock, knock.
"I'll be out in a minute babe." I said.
"Everything okay?" Edward asked.
"Uh, yeah." I said.
I looked back at the pregnancy test, Negative.
I looked at myself in the mirror not knowing how to feel. A part of me was glad I wasn't pregnant yet, but another part of me was bummed. I sighed throwing the test in the garbage knowing I had to tell Edward sooner or later. I walked out of the bathroom to find him leaning against the wall waiting. I walked over to him hugging him closely.
"What were you doing in there?" He asked kissing my hair.
"Taking a pregnancy test." I whispered.
I looked at him, his expression killed me. His eyes lit up and he got all excited, I just looked down and shook my head slowly.
"I'm not." I said.
His face fell, "Oh."
Just as I was about to say something the door bell rang. I left my disappointed husband by the wall as I walked over to it and opened the door, there stood Jake, who I haven't spoken to since our argument.
"Hey." He said.
"Hi." I said.
"Can I come in?" He asked.
"I guess..." I said letting him in.
"Hey Edward." He said.
Edward just waved.
"Look," Jake started turning to face me, "I came over to apologize. I know, I should have done this sooner. I just didn't know how."
"Jacob, I know you know how it feels to love someone. You love Julia, so imagine if I came to you and told you to leave her for something that could be changed! Edward is in therapy! We haven't seen James or peter in almost a month!" I explained.
"That's great!" Jake said.
"Yeah, it is. But imagine if I had listened to you and left, would that really of helped?" I asked.
"I guess not." He said.
I saw Edward walk into the kitchen.
"What's wrong with him?" Jake asked.
I sighed, "I thought I was pregnant."
"You did?!" He gasped.
I nodded.
"But you aren't..." He said.
I shook my head.
"Edward is kind of bummed, I told him just before you showed up." I said.
"I'm sorry Bells." He sighed.
"It's fine. I mean, it will happen." I said.
"Well, I'll get out of your hair so you can talk to Edward. Text me later okay?" He asked.
I hugged him before he left. I closed the door before sighing and walking into the kitchen where Edward sat at the table. I walked behind him and started to rub his shoulders.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"Yeah." He said.
"It's going to happen Edward, maybe this wasn't the right time." I told him.
"I don't feel like hearing the 'everything happens for a reason' speech Bella." He sighed.
I took a seat next to him at the table. I just grabbed his hand and held it, I could see that he was stressed out.
"Stop Edward, its going to be fine." I said placing my forehead on his.
I looked in his eyes, he bent forward and kissed my lips.
"You are amazing." He whispered.
"You aren't bad yourself." I said.
Okay, so I procrastinated which made me lose my motivation and all that... That and this chapter to me seems rushed and did not turn out how I wanted it too... Which is why it is so short! But it was irritating me, and I wanted to get something out! Let me know what you think! =D
