Chapter 16: Monday

By the time Emmett arrived at Rian's house, it was raining heavily. This only added to his grumpy and sulking mood. He ran up the door, completely soaked in the few steps it took to get there, and rang the doorbell. Rian's sister, Quinn, answered the door, shocked to see a dripping wet Cullen on the doorstep.

Rian quickly ran downstairs, backpack in hand, "Emmett's taking me to my appointment this morning." She said quickly to her brother and sister.

"I didn't know you had an appointment today," Bryan replied.

"I forgot." It wasn't unusual for Rian to forget things, especially doctor's appointments. Her siblings seem to accept this excuse and soon the couple were on their way to a pharmacy.

"If you don't want this to spread through school, we should go to a place outside of town."

Emmett nodded and sped up.

At the pharmacy, Rian ran inside and grabbed the Plan B pill, a water, and a pregnancy test just to check and make sure it worked. Although she had no idea when she could take the test to see, if she was pregnant, it would be accelerated. The box said you could take it five days before your missed period, so maybe she could take it in a couple of days. She looked at the price for the test and decided to grab a two pack, they were cheap enough anyway.

The ride back to school was long, Emmett didn't say anything as Rian downed the pill with the water she got. He didn't even ask about her extra purchases: the pregnancy test. Either he knew why she had gotten it, or just wasn't in the mood to talk. Rian did not like this moody side of him. "Alright, Mr. Grumpy, all we have to do now is wait, right."

"What if it doesn't work?"

"What do you mean, why wouldn't it work?"

"Because I'm a vampire and it's made for humans."

"I'm human, shouldn't that be enough."

"I don't know. Maybe we should talk to Carlisle."

The thought of talking to Carlisle about this had her stomach in knots, she still hadn't talked to him in her sessions about her relationship with Emmett. Her intimate time with Emmett seemed personal, and she wouldn't share it with anyone regardless of the fact that he was her therapist and Emmett's 'father'. Her stomach churned again, the bile threatening to raise up her throat. "Oh, god. Pull over."

"What?" His concern was back but the car didn't make any indication to slowing down.

"Pull over or I'm going to throw up in your car." The car stopped quicker than she anticipated it could and she was out on the grass in a second.

Emmett was standing beside her quick enough to appear human, pulling her hair back; and soon all her stomach's contents were out on the ground below her. She felt much better, although she worried she had thrown up the pill that was supposed to stop her from getting pregnant. And when she told her concern to Emmett, he sped off towards Carlisle's hospital. She was going to have to face the doctor now, Emmett was determined to talk to Carlisle.

Rian sat in Carlisle office, blushing, as Emmett told him the details of the morning. Carlisle didn't seem to be angry or any emotion that she assumed he would be; she thought he would be furious at Emmett for the events that led them to this, any father would right? Then she remembered Carlisle wasn't his biological father, and that while Emmett doesn't claim Carlisle as his father, they probably had a different relationship than that.

"It's possible that her body rejected the pill." Then she thought of it, she had been doing math in her head to see when she could take the pregnancy test because her pregnancy would be fast-tracked, she hadn't considered that she should have calculated a time the pill would be effective.

She just stared wide-eyed at her purse on the ground, desperately wanted to run to the bathroom and take one of the tests. But she knew it was to early to detect the hormones if she were pregnant. She'd have to wait to find out for sure.

Emmett and Carlisle discussed possible reasons and outcomes while Rian retreated farther and farther into her thoughts. She had been numb this morning because she didn't really believe she could be pregnant and she didn't know how she'd feel if she were. But now, as the day weighed on, she began to see that it was a possibility and her emotions bubbled to the surface slowly. Would she be able to go through with an abortion? If not, she was going to turn into a vampire and become a mother overnight. She wasn't sure if she could handle that either, she was only 16, soon to be 17.

"Ri." Emmett's voice broke through her thoughts finally and she looked up at him, disbelief clear on her face.

"What?"

"I was telling Emmett that I could examine you and we could do a test here to see if it is late enough to show up on one of the hospital's more sensitive pregnancy tests. Then if so and you are, we can talk about options." Carlisle spoke in a gentle and doctor-ly tone.

Rian nodded her head, unable to speak.

Rian laid down on the paper sheet covering the examining table, Emmett stood on her right as Carlisle examined her abdomen. She figured he was mostly keeping busy while the test developed (or whatever) in the corner. She could see Emmett glancing over at the test every once in a while.

The girl concentrated on keeping her breathing normal, which only made her think of all the shows with the over exaggerated labor breathing techniques. Then her thoughts went to all the stories Emmett had told her of Bella's pregnancy, she had been weak and in pain 90% of her pregnancy and only gave birth when the baby accidently snapped her spine in half or something like that. Pain didn't frighten her, neither did dead, but she wasn't sure she wanted to leave Emmett yet. She wanted more time with him, more time … then her thoughts went to the actions that got her in this situation in the first place.

The timer rang out, destroying her thoughts and the room snapped into action. Both Carlisle and Emmett were at the test in a flash, or at least seemed to be to her. She wasn't sure which one made it to the test first, she sat up, anxious for the results. But neither spoke up, neither turned to her, neither made a sound for a long time. To long for her, she got up and walked over in her human sped; her nerves getting the best of her.

Finally Emmett turned to her, a defeated look on his face. She didn't know what the look meant, was he defeated because she was pregnant or because she wasn't and all his emotions were taking a toll on him.
