Chapter Eighteen: Something is Wrong
Thanks for the reviews guys! I knew you could do it =D
Bella's POV
December (3 Months Pregnant)
I walked down the stairs in my pajama pants and a tank top that used to be loose fitting, I was now three months, almost three and a half, and you could tell when I wore tank tops. I walked to the window and smiled as I watched the snow fall excited that winter was finally here. The only time I dreaded snow fall was the snowball fights Emmett insisted we have almost every week. Luckily I think I would be able to get out of that this year, especially with Edward being overprotective of me even more now. I sat down in front of the fire next to Edward, I handed him his blanket while covering up with my own. He kissed the top of my head reaching to rub my small baby bump.
"I still can't believe this is real." He whispered.
"I know." I said resting my head on his shoulder.
"End of June or early July we will be parents." He beamed.
"I know, I have to choose who will be with the kids when I go on leave." I told him.
"There is plenty of time for that love." He told me.
The phone rang, I got out from my blanket and got up to answer it.
"Hello?" I said.
"Belly!" Emmett yelled.
I groaned, "Please start calling me that."
Edward looked at me weird.
"What's going on Belly?" He asked.
"I am relaxing by the fire with my husband, what do you want Emmett?" I asked.
"Ooo, did I interrupt some action?" He asked, I could just see his face.
I groaned my face turning red.
"No Emmett! Honestly! Not everyone needs to do that every day!" I growled.
"Hey, don't be so touchy!" He said.
"Emmett. What do you want?" I asked again.
"Want to hang out tomorrow while Edward is at work?" He asked.
"Edward doesn't work tomorrow." I told him.
"So, you want to hang anyway?" He asked.
The rest of the conversation went pretty much the same as it always goes with Emmett. I finally agreed to go out with him tomorrow after he started to ask questions about my sex life with Edward. I hung up and growled at the phone.
"I hate your brother sometimes." I said snuggling back into my blanket.
"What did he want?" Edward asked.
"He wants to hang out tomorrow at the mall." I said.
"The mall? Do we have the right Emmett?" He asked me.
I laughed, "There is a new video game store and he wants to check it out. Rose wont go with him and apparently he can't go alone."
Edward rolled his eyes.
…
"Be careful with her Emmett!" Edward warned.
"I know I know!" He said.
Emmett grabbed my hand and took off running, I almost got whiplash!
"Emmett!" Edward growled.
Emmett just ignored him though and helped me into the car.
"Where is your jeep?" I asked.
"In the shop! Just a normal check up to make sure the girl is running okay." He said climbing in the car.
"I'm surprised Rosalie let you use her car." I laughed.
"Me too." He said smiling.
We pulled up to the mall and got a parking spot close to the door. It didn't seem that the mall was too busy like normal, but that was probably because of the snow fall and the icy roads. We wasted no time in going to the video game store and it was like Christmas morning for Emmett. Soon he had at least five video games picked out, I didn't even want to see the total. Once out of the video game store we headed to the pizza place for some lunch.
"You going to be able to keep that pizza down Belly?" Emmett asked.
"Yes Emmett." I said rolling my eyes.
"Well that is good, because I will not be witnessing any kind of gross puke." He shivered.
"You went through this with Rose Emmett." I reminded him.
"I know, and it was horrible." He said.
I just rolled my eyes taking a bite of my cheese pizza.
"So! This new game," he said pulling one of his games out, "You can steal people's cars and kill people!"
"And why would you want to do that?" I asked.
"Because! You can't just steal some old lady's car in real life could you?" He asked.
My eyes went wide, "Why would you want to steal an old lady's car in the first place?!"
"Because it's fun of course!" He said.
I shook my head, "Poor Mason."
He glared at me before putting the game back before finishing his third slice of pizza.
In the car heading home...
"Man its really bad out." Emmett said.
"Just focus on the road and get us home safely Emmett." I told him grabbing onto the door.
Emmett got quiet as he squinted out of the window, the snow was falling harder now making the windshield wipers go into overdrive. He flipped his brights on trying to get a better look at the road but it did not seem like it helped at all.
"Emmett, maybe you should pull over." I said getting nervous.
"No, it's fine." He said.
"Emmett please, just pull over til it clears." I begged.
"Bella, hey, it's okay. I can get us home safely." He said taking his eyes off the road to look at me.
"Emmett!" I shrieked pointing to the windshield.
SCCREEEEECCCCCHHH!
CRASH!
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPP!
I squeezed my eyes shut as I grabbed my head.
"Bella." Emmett groaned.
I tried talking but groaned instead, it sounded like we were underwater.
"Bella. Are you okay?" Emmett asked.
I lifted my head off of the dashboard, glass from the windshield fell, I opened my eyes to survey the scene. There was still a beeping sound, someone's horn must be stuck or something. Emmett rear ended a car, he never saw it coming. I groaned grabbing my head as I looked at Emmett, he had a nice cut on his cheek from what I assumed would be glass from either his window or the windshield.
"You are bleeding." Emmett said reaching out and touching the gash on my forehead.
I cringed as pain shot through it, it wasn't til then I realized that I had blood running down the side of my face.
"The baby." Emmett whispered.
I looked down all of a sudden, there was no blood which was a good sign. I worried though, what if the seat belt did some damage?
"I-We- We need to see if the other people are okay." I said.
I heard sirens in the background.
"No, you shouldn't move. Just stay still until the ambulance comes." Emmett said squeezing his eyes shut.
…
I was the first one to be taken from the ambulance as I was wheeled into the hospital.
"Emmett!" I yelled looking behind me.
"I'm right here Bella!" He yelled.
"Please, can we be in the same room?" I asked one of the paramedics.
"We will see what we can do, but we need to get you looked at." The guy replied.
"Bella!"
I looked around to see Edward running over.
"I thought you were off today?" I asked.
"I was called in. What happened?!" He asked stroking my cheek.
"We were driving home, it was hard to see and the road was slippery. Emmett didn't see a car that was stopped a head, and when he tried to stop he slid on the ice and we ended up rear ending the car." I explained.
He looked back at Emmett as we were being wheeled into separate rooms.
"I never should have let you go." Edward said.
"No, Edward stop." I said.
"I need every test out then ran to make sure she is okay, and we need to do an ultrasound to make sure everything is okay with the baby." Edward ordered.
"Baby? She's pregnant?" A nurse asked.
"Yes. So no drugs that could have serious side effects to the baby. She's about 14 weeks, almost three and a half months." Edward told the nurses.
"Edward step back." Carlisle said walking in.
"What?!" He gasped.
"You are too close, I wont allow you to work on your wife. Remember your rule Edward." Carlisle said getting gloves on.
Edward hesitated before stepping away from me I almost objected but he stayed in my sight. I was sitting up in bed, so I must have been fine! Why are they treating me like I was in serious danger?
"Emmett, where is Emmett?" I asked.
"Down the hall, he should be fine." Carlisle said flashing a light in my eyes.
"I want to go see him." I said trying to get up.
"Whoa Bella," Carlisle said pushing me back down, "You can see him later."
"Dad I am fine, please." I said.
"Sorry, your overprotective husband over there would kill me." He told me.
I sighed.
"I need an ultrasound machine." Carlisle said.
"I'm fine." I said again.
"You may be Bella, but we need to do an ultrasound to make sure the baby is fine." He told me.
…
"I told you to be careful!" Edward screamed.
"I was Edward! It was snowing hard and I couldn't see!" Emmett growled back.
"Then you should have pulled over!" Edward snapped back at him.
"Edward stop! Yelling isn't going to reverse time! We are both fine! The baby is fine!" I told him.
"You stay out of this Bella!" Edward growled.
"Dude, what is your problem?!" Emmett screamed.
"My problem," Edward said getting into Emmett's face, "Is that you were suppose to take care of her!"
"I did!" He yelled.
"Obviously not if she has stitches in her forehead!" Edward scolded.
"Enough Edward!" I snapped.
Edward stormed inside the house, I gave Emmett a small smile before we said goodbye. I walked into the house watching Emmett pull out of the driveway in Rosalie's now wrecked car. I walked into the kitchen where Edward was pacing angrily.
"Edward. That was uncalled for, I am fine." I told him.
"What did you call me?!" He growled.
I stopped, "Edward?"
He growled throwing a plate against the wall, "I'm James damn it! Why is that so hard to comprehend?!"
I felt sick to my stomach, I sat down on one of the kitchen chairs.
"What is wrong with you?" He snapped.
"I don't feel so good." I told him.
(Note: This is where James gets bad, and if you are uncomfortable with bad language or abusive relationships, then you should probably skip this part...)
"Well who's fault is that? Getting knocked up with someone elses baby will do that to you." He scowled.
"What?" I gasped.
"You heard me, next time you shouldn't go sleeping around with other people, it could make you look like a slut." James pointed his finger at me.
"This is your baby!" I gasped standing up.
He walked over to me and raised his hand in the air, I prepared myself for impact.
"HEY!"
We both snapped our heads to look at who yelled, Emmett stood in the doorway holding my jacket in his hand.
"What the hell are you doing Edward! Were you about to hit her?!" Emmett screamed.
"I am not Edward." James hissed.
(Note: It's safe now...)
I felt my stomach turn.
"Emmett." I groaned.
He rushed over to me.
"Emmett! I need a bucket!" I gasped.
Emmett ran and grabbed the trash can bringing it over to me, he held my hair back as I threw up my pizza into the trash can. I gasped wiping my mouth as Emmett set it down by the counter.
"Okay, Bella has been under a lot of stress. She needs to relax and us fighting about this is not going to help her do that. You need time to calm yourself, so I'm going to take Bella upstairs so she can take a nap and you need to stay down here until you calm down." Emmett told James.
"You cant tell me what to do!" James screamed.
"Come on Bella." Emmett said wrapping his arm around me.
We walked upstairs and I got settled in bed, Emmett turned around to turn the TV on and when he turned back around I had tears streaming down my face.
"Bella? Why are you crying?!" He asked rushing towards me.
"It's back." I cried.
Emmett sat down next to me on the edge of the bed.
"It's back! I thought the therapy worked! I thought that since we haven't seen any signs of the DID for months that it was gone!" I sobbed.
He pulled me into his arms and let me cry.
"It's going to be okay." He told me when I calmed down a bit.
"No it is not Emmett! What would have happened if you wouldn't of walked in when you did! He would have hit me! What happens when no one is around Emmett?!" I asked.
"You run away and call one of us." He told me.
I growled, "I have to run from my husband who has DID because one of his sides is abusive."
"I know this isn't easy Bella, trust me, but we will get through this one way or another." He said wiping away my tears.
"I never thought that you had this in you Emmett." I laughed.
"Hey, Jasper isn't the only one who has words of wisdom!" He said standing up.
He bent down and kissed my forehead before handing me the remote.
"Remember, call me if you need anything. Now just relax and watch TV." He said.
I watched him close the door behind him, I sighed before slowly rolling my t-shirt up. I looked at the small but still there baby bump.
"Mama wont let anything happen to you." I whispered rubbing my stomach.
I let my head fall against the baseboard looking at the ceiling, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath thinking.
"Bella."
I opened my eyes and looked at my husband leaning against the doorway.
"Edward?" I asked.
He nodded standing up and walking over to the bed, he took a seat where Emmett just sat and took my hand in his.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"I...I don't know Edward." I said.
He looked down at our hands.
"How are we going to do this Edward?" I asked.
"By taking the next step." He said.
"Which is what?" I asked.
"Going back on my medication." He said.
"But how do we know that will work?" I asked.
"We don't know, but it will help me control it better." He said.
I sighed.
"Hey, I know okay? I know that this is hard and I know that this isn't what you signed up for. But Bella I love you. I love you so much, but if you don't want to-"
"Stop!" I shrieked.
He looked shocked at my sudden outburst.
"Don't you dare finish this sentence!" I scolded.
He still looked shocked.
"People may be against this Edward, people may beg for me to leave because of the abusive part, but I won't listen to them Edward! If they don't like it then they can be the people to leave! I'm here, and I'm staying here because I love you. Because we are going to have a baby." I told him my eyes tearing up at the baby part.
He smashed his lips to mine.
"I love you so much Mrs. Cullen." He whispered.
"And I love you so much Mr. Cullen." I said smiling.
He kissed me again.
...I just hope that the medications did work, and that we would not be seeing James for a while.
Another chapter! I was actually planning on bringing the DID back, but thought I would give the drama a break for a little bit! I'm not sure if my grammar improved but I'm not the best in English so...
By the way, who has gone to see Breaking Dawn Part 2?! What did you think? I thought it was done very well and they couldn't of done any better in my opinion!
Anyways, how about eight reviews for the next chapter?! You can do it! =D
Review!
