"Doc, please don't tell me… please…"
A single tear slid down my cheek. The salt stung my eyes, burning them into a red fire. I felt blood drain my face as I considered the possibility that my Jake was dead. I couldn't live without him, I couldn't be a single mother. There's no way anyone, especially me, could be prepared for what was about to be said.
"Don't worry Mrs. Swan, Jake is stable. The bad news is that he's in a coma. There's no telling how long he'll be out. I think it's best however that you wait to see him. Even in a coma, you can tell the intensity of your surroundings. Having you with him while in the ICU could induce a reaction, one being an outrageously high blood pressure. Give him time to adjust then you can be administered to him." She was professional.
Her voice was solemn and heartfelt, but also firm. It was obvious she wasn't actually asking me to stay away, but in fact telling me.
"Um, nurse Jackie, is it?" She nodded. "I don't think you realize how important we are to each other… that's my fiancé in a coma. Not some boy I just happen to be dating. He's the father of our child, the love of my life…. I can't be away from him."
"Oh honey, I know all too well how this thing goes. When I was just a year older than you, my fiancé too had gotten us into a bad car accident… He died on impact. You're fiancé, sweetie… he's in a coma. He still has a chance to live if willing enough to fight for it. My Neil didn't get that opportunity. Now I'm 45, married, having an affair with the pharmacist, and addicted to pills. So count your blessing little lady. Oh, and if you have a daughter who is a chronically depressed anti-socialist, I suggest Dr. Berkley…."
I stared at the nurse in front of me. She didn't even know me yet opened up her entire world to me. The fact that she stood with an "I don't give a fuck" attitude was enough for me. She didn't care by now if she got hurt, she had lost the one thing that could hurt her the most. She had nothing to hold back from now on, and for her to be so damn ballsy, well I liked it. It's been awhile since I had met any woman with such a mannerism. This woman was by far the craziest, inane, all out amazing chick I had ever met.
"Thank you Jackie. I needed the honesty…" I said steadily.
"No problem, and never call me Jackie. I'm your nurse, not your sister, 'kay?"
"Yes ma'am," I laughed.
She smirked and left the room, leaving me alone, helpless, vulnerable, and even lifeless, against Charlie. He stared blankly at the other side of the room.
"Bells… I think you've had a long night. Let's get you home and in bed. You have some things to think about as well…"
"Dad, I'm not changing my mind. Even you said you'd rather me be with Jake, so why not except that our child is now included in the package. You either get the three of us or none of us. I don't want to make you choose but this is bigger than all of us. I'm 19, Dad, I didn't plan on becoming a mother. Things happen though, and this has changed me… for the better…"
Silence followed my statement. If he couldn't accept the life I'd bring into this world nine months from now, well then we couldn't accept him.
"We'll talk about this later Bells, for now let's get home. You need sleep, I need sleep…" he paused for a moment, "and the baby needs sleep."
I looked up at my father, puzzled, bemused even. He smiled his cheeky grin and wrapped an arm around my shoulder.
"I'd rather be young and a grandfather than young and lose my daughter. I love ya Bells."
"I love you too, Charlie." I hugged him, tears streaming down my cheek full blast. "Thank you dad, so much. I really need someone here for me though this…"
"I'm here Bella, I'm always gonna be. However I have a catch…"
"You have got to be kidding me!" I said pushing him away. "Dad, that's not fair!"
"Hey, it's your kid Bella, therefore YOU tell your mom."
I stared at my father flabbergasted.
"You're a cruel man and I am sure that you are totally violating my 8th amendment! That's cruel and unusual punishment sheriff!"
"Well, your testimony in court won't stand a chance if your statement is anything using totally.' He laughed as he pushed me in a wheelchair out to the car. Of course he was in the closest parking spot to the emergency ward. I climbed in the passenger seat and cranked the heat. It was extremely cold… A feeling I used to be fond of a long time ago….
We pulled up to the house fifteen minutes later. We sat in the cruiser as it idled in the driveway.
"Dad, when you and mom got married… was it only because she was pregnant?"
He sat silent for a moment, as if gathering his thoughts.
"Well Bells, that was a huge part of it… but I loved your mom. She was everything to me. If she hadn't of gotten pregnant, I would have asked her to marry me within the next year. Sometimes things happen for a reason though… Just promise me something Bella." He eyed my with an emotion I didn't recognize. It wasn't fear but it wasn't courage. It wasn't shy or nervous, but it wasn't confident either.
"Sure, anything dad," I said warily.
"Promise me on everything, that you'll never take that little boy or girl away from Jake. Promise you'll always have time for them." It was then I realized he was imagining Jake and me as him and my mother. It hurt to be compared to a failure but his concern in our lives masked it.
"I promise I will never, ever, take this child from him. He will always, forever, have a spot in our lives."
"That's all I ask. Thank you Bella, really."
"Thanks for being concerned dad. I really appreciate it." I smiled and hugged him.
We got out of the car and headed toward the house. As soon as we were in I trekked up the stairs to my room.
"Night, Bells."
I turned and smiled at my dad.
"Night, dad."
I put on my old ratty sweats and a white tank top. I lay in bed for hours thinking about my future. One with Jake and one without… I pictured our little boy, tanned with black hair, running through the green grass. Tripping and giggling as he landed to the soft ground. He picked up a lady bug off of a blade of grass. He examined and scrutinized it with curious eyes. He held it up one finger smiling brightly at me. His deep brown eyes were large with excitement.
"Look what I found mommy! It's a little buggy! It's red and black and tickles my finger mommy!" He giggled as I smiled at him. Two arms wrapped around my shoulders.
"We make one beautiful baby Mrs. Black." Jacob's husky voice felt soothing in my ear.
"Yes we do Jake… Yes we do…" I smiled and kissed him as our little boy drifted into his own wonderland…
EmPOV
"You did what to her?" I glared at little brother furiously.
"Look, I didn't intend on hurting her. I just figured she'd accept me back into her life and it got to me when she didn't." Edward looked down as she spoke.
"I don't care if she hit you in the face with a fucking frying pan Edward! You never, EVER, put your hands on a woman that way! God you're a fucking idiot!"
"Gee Emmett, sorry for offending you. Why do you care so much anyway?" Edward eyed me incredulously.
I stopped dead in my tracks. I had to think about this next response, because the one I was about to pop off with just wouldn't be too great right now…
"Because Edward… you should never force a woman into anything."
"Emmett, you force Rose to have sex all the time!"
If I could blush, I would…
"That's totally different! For one, she's completely willing and in to it! Two, she's a vampire too! I can't hurt her the way you hurt Bella. Ya know, sometimes I wonder if you're fucking insane…" I spit my fury into his face. Just like a bullet from the chamber of a magnum.
"Screw you Emmett."
"If I say no you'll just do it anyway." I stared at him angrily. "I'm out of here, you disgust me."
I turned and ran up to mine and Rose's room. I pulled out a chest from underneath our bed opening the latch slowly. On top was exactly what I was looking for. A picture of Bella and I at her birthday. She was laughing so it was a perfect picture of her perfect smile. I was grasping her around her arms and waist and she was leaning to get away. It was the only picture of her and I, the only thing I had left since Ed and her had split.
I smiled as I flashed myself back to times of all of us hanging out in the living room. I'd shoot winks her way just to see her squirm. She'd roll her eyes and flip me off. Of course I never let Edward hear my thoughts about Bella, for if he had, he'd throw a Rosalie… also known as a bitch fit. He was kind of a pussy after all. I laughed at all of these memories… gosh I missed these times…
I got up putting the picture back into the trunk. I hid the trunk back under the bed, praying like every time I pulled it out, that Rose wouldn't find it. Had she known it's contents, then not only would my ass be dead, but it would be tortured first. Rose sort of had a niche for torturing those she killed… After the whole Royce thing, I had made sure to stay off her bad side.
I had to find Bella, I couldn't trust Jasper, and Edward wouldn't have that… a picture just isn't enough when you're completely head over hills in love with someone…
