Chapter 14

Helen was due to start school the first week of September but she got sick on august 31st. But it was more then just throwing up her period was late and she could swear she could feel something moving in her and her stomach seemed to be a little bit bigger and it was firm.

Helen bought a pregnancy test and took it she was shocked when it turned out it was positive. She didn't know it was possible. Edward had already left to Dartmouth to set up his home. She was worried what Carlisle would want to do when he found out she was pregnant but she knew she couldn't do it alone.

She thought about what she was going to do Bella caught her getting sick that evening she asked "are you alright."

Helen rinsed out her mouth then took Bella in their room closed the door went to her dresser drawer and pulled out the pregnancy test.

Bella asked "is this a pregnancy test? Is it positive?"

Helen nodded Bella asked "Helen didn't you use protection?"

Helen said "We didn't know this could happen. Edward is the father Bella. It happened on our wedding night. This could be very bad. I can't hide this."

Bella said "we need to let Carlisle know. He might know something about this."

They went to the Cullen's.

After explaining Carlisle said "I have never heard this as a possibility but then again a sexual relationship between human female and immortal male has never happened before. I have no idea what this fetus will be like. It is likely that it could be life threatening to you. There are two possibilities that I can help you with you can terminate the pregnancy this will be the safest option for you or you can attempt to carry the fetus to full term. I will help you either way."

Helen asked "is there anyway we can learn more about it before I make up my mind?"

Carlisle said "I can do some testing. I can get an ultrasound machine that might give us a better understanding of what we are dealing with."

Carlisle took Helen's vitals everything was just fine.

Bella asked "are you going to tell Edward about this. He might want to have a say in this."

Helen said "I don't want to upset him he has been through so much I don't think we should tell him until we know a little more about it."

Bella asked "what are you going to tell Charlie?"

Helen said "I don't know I can't really tell him that I'm pregnant with a half vampire baby. I'm more worried about school."

Carlisle said "before you worry about anything lets find out more about what you are carrying."

Carlisle went to get the ultrasound machine Helen couldn't hold down any food.

They soon found out that the Ultrasound couldn't penetrate the uterus and neither could needles. As the days passed it was clear her belly was growing rather quickly.

Charlie noticed Helen was getting sick and she wasn't eating She spent her days at the Cullen's instead of going to school.

Helen was determined that she was going to give birth to her baby.

Bella told Jacob about what was happening he was worried about Helen.

On the 5th of September it was Helen's idea that the baby might be craving blood seeing as she couldn't hold down any food. Carlisle was willing to try anything to help her. Helen drank the blood carefully. She could no longer hide her belly and Carlisle told Charlie that Helen was sick and that it was for the best that she stay at his house. Charlie didn't really understand why Helen was staying at the Cullen's instead of being at the hospital. Carlisle told Charlie he and Bella had to stay away because Helen was contagious.

The blood made Helen strong but it also made the baby strong too. As the days passed the baby was breaking Helen's ribs.

Alice was the one who told Edward what was happening he came home on the 10th.

Edward was very worried for Helen he went to her and asked "what are you thinking? We need to get rid of this monster inside you."

Helen said "it isn't a monster it is just a baby. I know this seems scary but it isn't really it is a miracle. Soon we will have a baby you will be a father."

Edward said "Alice can't see your future. Do you realize what that means."

Helen said "it means my future is in the air at the moment. I suppose it is possible I might die. But it isn't absolute or Alice would be able to see it. I believe Carlisle will be able to save me once the baby is born. I can become like you."

Edward asked "what about your family it can't be easy for you to leave Charlie and Renee behind."

Helen said "No that part is going to be very hard but I can't give up on my baby. I am the only one he has because I am his mother."

Edward asked "it is a boy?"

Helen said "I'm guessing we can't really know until he is born. In fact with as big as my belly is Carlisle things I might be carrying twins. Being a twin it is more likely for me. He said I will probably deliver in a few days."

That evening Carlisle went hunting to make sure he would be strong enough for Helen he also got more supplies.
