Chapter 17
It can't be I thought. My heart was racing thinking of anything else it could be. I paced back and forth nervous to how I was about to tell him. Or could I even tell him? What will everyone say? The press? My family? Edward? Oh god! What will Carlisle say, will he not allow me to see Edward anymore? This is exactly what Carlisle didn't want distractions. We aren't even married!... Maybe I'm not. Don't worry yet I thought to myself. It could be food poisoning and I'm getting worked up about it for no reason... Alice was the first person who came to my mind. I picked up my phone and called her on speed dial.
"Bella? Hey I had a feeling you would call,"
"Alice, I need your help..."
"Why what's wrong?" She started worrying.
"I... I think I'm pregnant," I almost started crying. The other line was silent. "Alice I don't know what to do! W-w-what do I tell him! What will everyone think!" I started freaking out.
"Bella breath! I'm coming to your dorm now,"
I collapsed on the floor uncontrollably crying. Tears streaming down my face. I felt a pair of arms around me. I hugged her back and clung onto her.
"Bella everything will be okay, I promise,"
After I calmed down and cleaned myself up I sat with Alice on the couch.
"Are you for sure?" She whispered sitting next to me. I shook my head no. "Are you going to tell him?"
"I can't. His father said not to distract him. This baby will if I tell him, or worse he will give up the throne. I won't let him to that. I can't be selfish, his country needs him." I looked at Alice, my eyes still watery.
"I understand, but Bella you mean way more to him then anyone else in this world. This baby need him and you. It takes two to have a child and that child will need a father." I knew she was right. I just couldn't stand just being any more selfish then I already was.
It's been a month since I found out I was pregnant. Surprisingly I haven't been showing a lot. Maybe a small baby bump. My decision was not to tell Edward. I wasn't going to let him sacrifice anything for me. I don't even think Edward has noticed since he mostly gone during the weeks. He at least told his dad he will not do any events on weekends so we can spend time with each other. Paparazzi have already guessed I'm pregnant with my bump. Yet Edward has never to asked me if I really was. I'm just waiting for that day for him to come home saying why didn't you tell me!
Alice and I were walking back from shopping. We both had our hands full of bags. Of course all of them were hers. We stopped in front of her dorm.
"I don't know how you deal with those people," She was talking about the paparazzi downstairs. I smiled knowing she secretly enjoyed it. "Have you told him?" She said in a very low serious voice.
"No. I will when I really start to show. I don't even know if he notices or not." Shrugging at her.
"You will have to tell him eventually. Have you seen a doctor?"
"Yes, he says everything looks fine and normal. Now's not a good timing to tell him. His father is already mad as it is."
"Screw his father, Bella this isn't about him. It's about you, Edward, and this baby." I sighed. "Anyways it's not my business,"
"Oh I forgot to tell you! I met someone!"
"Who?!" I gasped. She only smirked. "Mary Alice Greene!"
She laughed. "His name is Jasper Whit lock. I met him at a party."
"Alice that's great I'm so happy for you!" I hugged her tight.
"Thanks Bells, Okay I have a date with him tonight so I have to get ready,"
"Alright good luck!" I walked back to the dorm to get dinner started. I decided to make Edward's favorite dinner tonight. Since he's been working so hard in the library to study. I know he's been very stress too. I spent two hours making Lasagna and filet minion steak. I set everything up to be perfect for tonight. I waited on the couch reading a magazine for Edward to come back. Finally the door opened. "Edward," I jumped up hugging him.
"Good evening Bella," He said in a low flat tone. He seems frustrated or upset. I wanted to ask what was wrong but I didn't want to make anything worse.
"I made your favorite," I led him to the table. He only half smiled and kissed my cheek. He was acting very unusual and strange today. We sat there in silence. The only thing you could hear was the silver wear clinging as they hit the plates. He couldn't even make eye contact with me. "How was your day?" I tried to break the awkwardness. "Fine." Was all he said. "Bella, I think we should move out. You know find a little town house outside of the university." I smiled at the sound of that. To get away from school, stress, paparazzi. I nodded. "This place is perfect for the two of us." I nodded in agreement while taking a sip of my drink. "But we are going to need more space for the three of us now..." I chocked on the water as it went down my throat. Coughing some up.
"I know now Isabella," He said my fully name while crossing his arms over his chest. I wanted to find the right words to say to him, but all I could say was, "How did you find out?"
Flashback with Edward (Third Prov)
Edward closed his last book feeling releaved he finally finished up with his classes. He felt like he's been gone forever. He couldn't want to get home to his beautiful girlfriend. He wanted to see his gorgeous smile, listen to her beautiful voice, and hold her fragile body in his arms. As he was about to leave Jessica walked over to him. Alice told him little things about her all bad of course. Edward wasn't all that fond with her after that anyways.
"Hey Prince Edward," She smiled. " How have you been?"
"Tired, busy" He laughed.
"Oh I bet! you must be tired and busy with Bella and the baby," He looked at her confused.
"Excuse me? Have you been reading to many magazines."
She slightly giggled. "No it's true. Bella even said."
"She's told you and not me?"
"Well she's your girlfriend Edward. I mean the press knew before you did. Her mood swings, morning sickness, eating a lot." He was still shocked over the fact she was pregnant. "I mean its none of my business, but maybe she didn't tell you because it might not be yours." He heard enough from her and quickly grabbed his books and left the library mad. He felt so betrayed and hurt she never told him. The worse part was that he had to hear it from Jessica. He tried to remember all the times she showed symptoms of her pregnancy. She did have random mood swings with him, She always ate potions for two. , and whenever he called her in the morning she would always be in the bathroom when he'd call. As he walked back to the dorm he picked up an magazine with Bella on the front cover. He quickly went to her story, ignoreing the actual text. As soon as he looked at the pictures he finally realized the bump she starred at it for a while trying to process everything in.
"Edward I-"
"Is it even mine?" He asked hurt. I couldn't believe he would even doubt that is was his. My heart broke into millions of pieces hearing him say that. I cold see he regret of saying it in his eyes, but his body posture stood firm.
"Of courses it's yours, I wouldn't have it any other way," I whispered.
"Then why didn't you tell me?"
"Because I didn't want to be selfish. I'm selfish enough to have you be mine. I couldn't let you give up the throne for me, or have your dad get in the way, or distract you from your duties -" He cut me off and took my hands in his.
"Bella, you don't know how much you mean to me. I don't care about the throne, or my father. I care about you and now this baby. I wish you would've told me. So I could have gone to the doctors with you and be there every step of this process." He slid his hand to my stomach still holding my other hand. I was releaved to hear that but I could hear the pain in his voice. "The best gift you have ever given me was this child and I'm the luckiest man alive to have the most beautiful, intelligent, love caring woman to be the mother." My damn uncontrollable emotions got me in tears after he said that.
Finally! I updated! I promise this next chapter will be up sooner! Please review and I hope you enjoyed!
Preview: I woke up in the middle of the night with a sharp pain stabbing my stomach. The pain was was ten times worse then a stomach cramp. My hand quickly flew to my stomach holding it.
"Bella?" I heard Edward whisper sitting up in the bed. I took deep breaths in and out slowly. I could faintly concentrate on what was going on around me. Then I felt a liquid flow out of me. My eyes widen in shock. All I could see was pitch black.
