Summary:
All Human - AU - Very OOC at first. Renee never left Charlie when Bella was a baby so she grew up in Forks with everyone else. She was always close with the Cullen children - especially Edward. The two were the best of friends until they began dating at the age of 14. Two blissful years into the relationship Edward and Bella decide to take their relationship to the next level. They never expected the consequences that were to follow. Bella became pregnant and without thinking Edward reacted badly. Being only 16 years old he was ready to take on the responsibility as a father and he began thinking irrational. Bella and Jacob's friendship became a prominent thought in his mind and he accused her of cheating. Edward denied ever having gotten Bella pregnant and ends their relationship. It is now two years later and through careful planning Bella has kept her son, Anthony from him all this time. One day Bella is over at the Cullen home with Anthony and Edward comes home earlier than he was suppose to. What will happen when he realizes that Bella's son really is his? Will he realize that he made the biggest mistake of his life by breaking the heart of the girl he loves the most?
A/N: This was my first fanfic. I had started this and removed it because I didn't have time for writing. Now that I am no longer working (at the moment) I should have more time to write and hopefully get chapters out better than I did before.
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any of the following characters(except for Anthony). They all belong to the talented Stephanie Meyer.
Bella POV
Who would have thought that two pink lines could cause the world to do a complete 180? Everything was perfect. I was in the greatest relationship, had the best of friends, and parents who were proud to call me their daughter. One missed pill and two pink lines later and that all changed. I'm now single and disowned by my parents. The only thing that remains the same are my friends.
I never dreamed of being a mother, let alone a single mom, living on my own while still a senior in high school. I will never regret my decision to keep him. He is my life. My little Anthony Masen Swan. He's my miracle.
It didn't bother me anymore either that his father made the choice to not take responsibility for his actions. If he didn't trust me enough to think I could actually cheat on him then I don't want him in my life or his son's. He has made his decision and now has to live with that for the rest of his life.
I suppose I should give the back-story to these thoughts. My name is Isabella Swan, but I prefer to be called Bella. I'm 17 years old, almost 18, and the mother of a beautiful 16 month old baby boy named Anthony Masen Swan.
His father, Edward Anthony Masen Cullen, and I had been dating since we were 14. Before that, we were the best of friends. Our families have known each other since we ourselves were babies. When I was 15, Renee, my mom insisted on me taking birth control. She didn't like the idea of her daughter being sexually active but she preferred to know that if I was, I would be protected. Since Edward and I weren't having sex, I had a tendency to forget to take them.
After being together for two years, at the age of 16, Edward and I decided to take our relationship to the next level - to have sex. It was both of our first times and although it was painful at first, it was everything I imagined it to be. Our bodies fit together perfectly. Six weeks later, I started feeling nausea every day. It was horrible. I'd be sitting in class and have to run from the room before puking in front of everyone.
When I told Alice what was happening, she went to the drug store to get me a pregnancy test. She was there when I took it - not in the bathroom with me, in my room. She held my hand as I waited the three long minutes to discover my fate.
Two pink lines. My heart stopped. I was pregnant at the age of 16. What was going to happen now? What would everyone in school say? How would my parents react? How would Edward react?
Renee and Charlie did the one thing I feared most. They kicked me out. Alice's parents, Esme and Carlisle, offered to allow me to move in to their home, but after their son's reaction, I refused. Instead they put a security deposit down on an apartment for me and I got a job after school and on weekends to pay the rent.
I broke the news to Edward and he lost it. He accused me of cheating on him with Jacob Black, a long time family friend. He swore that this mistake wasn't his and he wanted nothing to do with me or my baby. That day he ripped my heart out of my chest.
Alice, Rosalie, Jasper, and Emmett were there to support me. They helped me through the nine months of pregnancy and taking care of Anthony after he was born. I constantly asked them not to worry, but they insisted. Alice always said "We're family, and this is what family does for each other."
"Bella!" Alice's soprano voice filled my ears. "Let's go shopping. Anthony needs more clothes." I groaned. Oh god, shopping with Alice is a nightmare. Once she gets started its nearly impossible to stop her.
"No, Alice. He has enough clothes, thanks to you." It was the truth. I swear she has spent more than her car cost on him- and she owns a Porsche!
"Please, please, please," she jutted her bottom lip out in a pout, giving me the puppy dog face. Ugh. Stupid pixie, she knew I couldn't say no to her when she gave me that face. "Plus we can get you some new clothes for school. Come on! You have to show off the fact that you still have a hot body even after having a baby!"
Wow. Did Alice really just say that? I could feel my cheeks burning from my blush.
"Fine, Alice. But you are not spending too much because I already know you're going to refuse to allow me to pay for anything." I demanded.
She squealed, bouncing in her seat. I never understood how she was always so energetic.
"Yay! You go get Anthony ready and I'm going to call Rose and tell her to meet us at the mall" she jumped from my bed and bounded out of the room. I shook my head and laughed to myself. Alice will always be Alice.
I stood from my bed and left my room, heading down the hall to the nursery. I opened the door and quietly looked through one of the dressers until I found some clothes for my miracle. I set them on the changing table next to the dresser and tip-toed over to Anthony's bed. I didn't want to wake him if he was sleeping, but as soon as I sat on the edge of the bed I was met with his wide, green eyes. I internally sighed, of course he had to have his father's eyes, the ones that could make me forget my own name. I smiled down at him before scooping him up in my arms.
"Hey, baby. You want to go for a ride with Mommy and Aunt Alice?" I cooed at him as I sat him down on the changing table to dress him. He giggled at me and nodded his head as I pulled a long sleeve polo over his head. "Aunt Rose will be there, too. I bet you'll be excited to see her."
"Momma!" He squealed as I slid his jeans up his legs. I could feel the huge grin that adorned my face. I don't think anything could make me more happy than Anthony. I slipped a pair of socks and his shoes on his tiny feet before picking him up and setting him on the floor next to me.
"Bella!" Alice came into the room and a huge smile took over Anthony's features. "Everything is set, Rose is going to meet us in an hour."
"Ali!" Anthony squealed again. I think Alice is starting to rub off on him.
"Hi there, squirt." Alice picked him up and pulled him into a hug. "You ready to go shopping with your three favorite people!?"
"Mmhmm." He nodded his head and gave Alice a kiss on the cheek. That's my little gentleman.
An hour later we were sitting in the food court, waiting for Rose to join us. I was sipping on my soda, watching Alice and Anthony interact. A smile played at my lips. I was thankful that Alice was as involved in his life as she was. Especially because he refused to admit that Anthony was his son. Well, not really refused, but he denied him from the moment he found out I was pregnant. Edward has never seen Anthony, so there really hasn't been room for refusal, though he's been at the Cullen house on numerous occasions - when it just so happened that Edward wasn't around. One look at Anthony's face and there was no denying that he's Edward's son. He has his piercing green eyes and his unnaturally beautiful bronze hair. He is pretty much the spitting image of Edward.
This was the main reason that Edward has never seen his son. He made the choice to accuse me of cheating and deny that he could have gotten me pregnant. I knew the minute he figured out the truth, he would want to be in his life and I don't think I could handle him being around that much. I was still irrevocably in love with him, even after how he has treated me the past two years.
"Hey, girls." Rose took a seat at the table with us. "Anthony."
"Rosie" he jumped from his seat and ran into her arms, giving her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"How's my favorite little man," she smiled at him and tickled his sides. He burst into giggles, squirming in her arms.
"What took you so long, Rose? Don't you know you've wasted precious shopping time?" Alice scolded her as if she was a young child.
"I know, I'm sorry," she apologized. "I had to wait for Emmett, he asked for a ride, saying something about meeting up with the guys and birthday presents." Rose shrugged her shoulders and I nearly choked on my drink.
"What? You mean the guys are here," she nodded. "All three of them?" Rose nodded again, I scowled before scanning the food court. I hoped to not find them. Unfortunately, my eyes landed on Forks' own Adonis standing across the food court talking with Emmett and Jasper. He had his back towards us but I knew it was him. I would know that unique head of disheveled bronze hair anywhere.
"Rose! You should have called and warned us. Edward isn't allowed to see Anthony, you know that!" Alice yelled, causing a few heads to turn our way including Emmett, Jasper, and Edward. The three of them started walking towards us.
"Uh, guys." I motioned towards the boys and Alice and Rose looked in their direction. They both turned back to me with wide eyes. "Come here, baby." I pulled Anthony from Rose's lap and stood, holding him against my hip. "Alice, I'm going to the bathroom, come get me when they leave." She nodded and I headed off into the opposite direction of the boys to hide in the bathroom like the coward I am.
A/N: I am looking for someone to beta this story for me. If you cannot tell I am very bad at comma placement. It is one of my weaknesses when it comes to writing. If anyone would be interested in beta-ing for me send a PM. I receive my email right on my cell phone so I should be able to respond immediately.
