Finding out

I awoke the next morning in Edward's arms with a bit of blood surrounding us from when he had broken my barrier. I cleaned myself quietly and dressed before running from the house. For the last three weeks I've avoided him and his family as much as possible. They'd come round after school and I'd just close the door in their faces. I couldn't face Edward after what happened yet and it seemed as if he didn't remember. Charlie started noticing the differences in my and questioned them at first but when I gave him no answers he left it alone.

After spending another day ignoring Edward and his family, I stopped off at the chemist to pick up a box that had been on my mind for the past week. I'd woken up each morning and thrown up in the toilet. Thankfully Charlie hadn't been at home so no questions were asked. I'd missed my period and was starting to get anxious. As soon as I got home I ran to the bathroom and did the test. I sat pensively on the floor of the bathroom as I waited. The phone in my hand ready to call my mom.

Positive.

My heart dropped as tears ran down my cheeks. Edward would never want me again. I couldn't stay and have him reject me.

"Mom?"

"Bella, do you know what time it is here?"

"Sorry Mom. I need to talk to you."

"What's wrong baby?"

"Is Phil there?"

"Yeah. He's asleep though."

"Can you go to the living room?"

"Sure. What's is it Bella? You're scaring me."

I took a deep breath as I tried to stop my tears.

"I want to come live with you Mom."

"Why Bella? I thought you loved it in Forks."

"I do mom. Please. I want to live with you though."

"Okay baby. Why do you want to come here though?"

"I'm pregnant mom."

"What?"

"Mom, I'm pregnant."

"Baby. You can come live with us. What did Charlie say?"

"He doesn't know mom. I don't want him to yet. I only just found out."

"Okay. Okay baby."

The line was silent for a moment as my tears continued to flow.

"How did it happen baby?"

"Alice had a Halloween party a couple of weeks ago and someone must have spiked the drinks. We were drunk. I didn't mean to get drunk mom. It wasn't my fault."

"It's okay baby. I believe you. Who is the father?"

"That doesn't matter mom. Please don't ask that."

"Did someone hurt you Bella?"

"No. Please I just don't want to think about him."

"I understand baby but what are you going to do about school?"

"I'll home school myself mom. I'm sure I can figure it out."

"You're a bright girl Bella. I'll help with anything you need."

"Can I come to you next week?"

"Of course baby. We'll be ready for you."

"Can you tell Phil before I get there?"

"I will baby. Don't worry. Do you want me to talk to Charlie?"

"No. I'll talk to him."

"Okay baby. If you need to talk to anyone I'm here for you. Is there anything you need for when you come here?"

"Can you get me some shorts and tops? I'll get some other clothes when I get there. I just need some shorts because I only have clothes for the cold."

"Of course Bella. I've got to go, Phil's coming."

"I'll see you next week mom."

"See you next week baby."

When she hung up, I held the phone in my hand as I cried. I sat there for hours until I heard the front door open.

"Bella?"

"I'll be down in a minute dad."

"We need to talk Bella."

Drying my face, I threw the pregnancy test in the bin before running down stairs.

"What's wrong Bella?"

"I'm fine dad."

"No you're not Bella. You know I'm not good at feelings but I want to understand what's happening."

"I can't tell you. I want to, I really do dad but I can't. Not yet at least. Please just give me some time and you'll find out one day. I'm moving back in with mom though in Florida."

"Why Bella? I thought you liked Forks."

"I do dad. I love it here but I can't stay. I promise you'll understand someday. Please just let me go."

"Okay Bella. When are you going?"

"Next week."

"I'll miss you Bella. You're my daughter."

"I'll miss you too dad. I love you."

"I love you too Bella."

I pulled him into a hug as more tears ran down my face.

"What about Edward and the Cullen's?"

"You never liked him anyway dad."

"I did Bella. He's a good guy; I just don't like you being with him. You're my little girl."

"I'll always be you're little girl dad. You just have to let me go."

"I know Bella. What are you going to tell Edward?"

"I'm not going to tell him anything dad. We aren't really together at the moment anyway. Please don't give any of them my phone number though. I'm going to get a new phone in Florida."

"Okay Bella. I won't. Just don't forget about your old man."

"I won't dad. Thank you for understanding."

"I love you Bella."

"I love you too dad."

He held me in another hug before letting me go.

"Are you hungry?"

"Not really."

"Go to bed then Bella. It's getting late. I'm going down to the diner with Billy tonight."

"Okay dad. I'll see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow Bella."

I went up to my room and lay my hands over my stomach as I fell asleep.
