Hushed Secrets
Chapter 5
It's been three weeks since my trip to the hospital and I think I'm finally feeling better. I'm coming out of my first trimester and I have a little belly, I just look like I'm bloated.
I'd been hanging out with Edward and his friends and I'd met Garrett's girlfriend Kate as well as Alice and Rose. They were all super sweet and knew what was going on with me, the girls were just as protective as the guys, but I hated feeling left out, even though when we went out, James and Jasper were both always there too, making me feel like I needed to choose and although Jasper and I had talk quite a lot, I'd never brought up my pregnancy. I didn't want him to give me pity or run away, he was calming.
This weekend we were going out of town, minus Garrett and Kate, they both had to work.
They'd rented a lake house and I was happy to get away.
When we arrived, we picked rooms and I took the smallest downstairs, because I knew I'd be awake 90% of the time. Being pregnant, I now had insomnia. Edward kept trying to get me to relax more, but I was still to stressed to do so.
I put away my small bag, which Alice and Rose laughed at, because they each had huge suitcases, not including Edward and Emmett's stuff.
The girls came in my room and asked if I wanted to go swimming.
"No, I really can't none of my suits fit." I patted my tiny bump.
"Please, Bella. It's not that bad. I'll get you one of mine, I brought several." Rose said and ran upstairs.
"I'm not getting out of this am I?" I asked.
"Nope!" Alice said popping the 'p'.
"Here, put it on, the guys are already having fun." Rose said.
"Fine." I frowned and went into the bathroom.
I put it on and it didn't look to bad, just like I'd gained a few pounds.
We walked out to the pool and all eyes were on me.
"Um, Bella I don't think you should be wearing that." Edward looked at me.
"Why?" I asked, eyeing him wearily.
"Just because." he ran a hand though his hair. Alice smacked him and gave him a dirty look.
"I think she looks great. Just needs to lose a few pounds." James smirked.
"Fuck you!" I cried and ran to my bedroom. I heard yelling outside and tried to block it out. I sat on my bed and rocked back and forth.
"Bella?" I looked up to see Jasper in my doorway.
"What? You want to tell me I'm fat too?" I snapped.
"No. I think you look great. You were even kinda glowing." he smiled.
"Thanks." I mumbled and blushed.
We talked for a while and he convinced me into going back out there and not let James' attitude ruin the weekend. He grabbed my hand and held tightly as we walked out to the pool.
Edward looked between us and scowled. I shook my head, silently asking him to behave.
The weekend came to an end, we had fun and by the end of it, Jasper and I were dating, making Edward slightly mad, even though Jasper had a heart to heart with him.
"Bells, you've got to tell Jasper. He can't go into this relationship, NOT knowing!" Edward snapped.
"I know. I just don't know how to bring it up. 'Oh, by the way… I'm pregnant.'" I said.
"Sounds pretty good to me." Edward sighed.
"Look, you're going to be showing soon and you've got lots of Dr.'s appointments coming up, he's going to wonder WHY!" Edward raised his voice.
I sat there with a defeated look on my face, Garrett walking though the door, seeing Edward pissed and me crying, went on the attack.
"What the fuck Edward! You know she's not suppose to get upset! What did you say to her?" he asked shoving Edward.
"I told her she needed to tell Jasper! He doesn't need to be blinded by this at the last minute!" Edward yelled back.
"You've got a point, but yelling at her isn't going to make it better! Fuck…" Garrett ran his hands though his hair.
"Bella, he's already asking why you're not coming back with us for school and why you turned Dartmouth down." Edward shrugged. "All I could do is say, 'I don't know.' I hate lying to him." he sounded defeated.
"Fine, I'll just break up with him and I won't have to worry about anything! I'll go live somewhere else and never bother any of you again!" I yelled, running out to my car and taking off.

Hope y'all enjoy this chapter…
Poor Bella, she's all stressed out and no one to really talk to…
I know that feeling.
Going through pregnancy alone isn't fun.
Love y'all!
