I know. I know. I'm a crummy author. I hope this chapter-although a little short-makes up for my lack of updating quickly.

It's been two days and Edward has been avoiding me. Granny Higginbotham hasn't been talking to me either. Which would be heaven, if she wouldn't send me those death glares that she only used on Edward.

I felt a sharp smack on my head.

"Ow!" I whined glaring at Alice. "Why?" I asked.

"Because you asked me to hit you upside the head whenever you start to think about Edward." she smiled.

Me and Alice had gone to the lake and we were dipping our feet in the water.

"How'd you know that I was thinking about him?" I exclaimed.

"You get this dreamy look on your face and your eyes glaze over a little." she explained and I sighed.

I probably should stop thinking about Edward and his bright green eyes, his crooked smile, and his weird hair color…

WHACK!

"You know the more I keep doing this, the more I'll enjoy it." Alice chuckled grinning.

"Ugh. I'm sorry. I just can't help. I keep seeing his eyes, his beautiful, green eyes that shine like a thousand emeralds-"

WHACK!

"Alice! Fine I'll stop thinking about Edward-"

WHACK!

"But I wasn't thinking about-"

WHACK!

"Okay now you're just doing that for pure enjoyment!" I pointed out and she laughed.

"That's true." she smiled. We were quiet for a little while.

"Alice I have to ask you something." I said seriously.

"Okay ask away." she smiled at me,

"Do you think that I'm ready to have this baby?" I asked. She was quiet.

"Not yet. But you're only on month four. You have a while." she smiled. I let a tear slip down my cheek.

"What if Edward breaks up with me? I can't do this alone Alice." I cried.

"Oh!" Alice threw her arms around me. "You wont have to Bella. You and Edward are destined for each other. And those who are meant to be together, always find each other again."

I looked at her through my tears. "You think so?"

She nodded smiling. "I know so." She got up and helped me up. "Come on. Let's go see Rose."

We picked up our flip flops and ran to my truck. We drove the short distance to Rose's house and Alice stormed inside…only to see her and Emmett on the couch. Rose was topless and they were in a heated make out session.

Me and Alice screamed. "My eyes!" I covered Alice's eyes and she did the same for me.

Emmett flipped off the couch and Rose pulled on her flannel buttoning it up while glaring at us.

"What are you doing here?" she demanded.

"Bleeding through my eyes." I responded. Alice removed her hands from my eyes and I saw Emmett getting up from the ground grumbling.

"Rose we need to talk to you." I said. Rose pouted.

"But I was having my special time with Emmett." she whined.

"It's about the baby." Alice added. Rose turned to Emmett.

"Emmett, out." She pointed to the door.

"Fine." Emmett stormed to the door and turned around. "Call you."

"You better." Rose winked at him and he closed the door. "Okay. What did you-" the door opened again and Emmett's head popped in.

"Yes Em?" she asked.

"I forgot to tell you that I love you…so, I love you!" He flashed a small smile. Rose smiled affectionately, pure love in her eyes. Considering my position, tears floated in my own eyes. I looked away.

"I love you too teddy bear." she said and I heard the door close.

"Bella are you crying?" I heard Alice ask.

"It's just the hormones." I said evenly. It was silent because they both knew that it wasn't true.

"Anyways what did you want to talk about?" Rose asked pleasantly.

"I'm going to find someone to adopt the baby." I said, and they both stared at me in horror.

"WHAT?" they screamed. I sighed knowing that they were going to act like this.

"B-but why?" Alice asked in a small voice.

"Ali, Rose, I'm seventeen. I'm not…fit to be a mother." I said. Rose stood up angrily.

"So, because Edward is going to break up with you, you're just giving up? That is not the Bella I know! The baby needs a strong family-" I stood up cutting her off.

"Exactly! The baby needs a strong, stable family, and that is not me! Half of my family hates me, and her father might not stick around, do you know how that feels? To not have a parent around? It sucks!" I shouted. "You know what? I don't need you two here to criticize the decisions I make for MY child. Alright? I'm leaving!" I got up and stormed away slamming the door as hard as I could.

Who did they think they were? Telling me what decisions were right for the baby! Who took care of them when we were little? Me! When they had problems in their lives who did they turn to? Me!

I walked all the way home and slammed the door making my presence known.

"Bella?" my mom called coming from the kitchen with a dish cloth in her hands. "Bella sweetie what's wrong?" she asked.

"Nothing mom. I-I'm fine." I said looking away from her to wipe away the tears.

She grabbed my face and gently made me face her. She looked like she was about to say something meaningful, but then she looked puzzled. She put her hand against my forehead.

"Bella your skin is really hot." she pursed her lips nervously. "Go upstairs and lie down. I'll call the doctor."

"Okay." I nodded. I started up the stairs, but I didn't even make it to the first step.

EPOV-the next day

Life has been hell.

All I wanted to do was take my beautiful Bella and my little Edwina into my arms and push the world away.

I don't know why I did what I did, but I was just so mad that someone besides me was kissing my Bella. I mean, hellloooo? She's pregnant with MY child. Does commitment mean nothing in this world anymore?

I let out a loud groan and threw my hands over my face.

"Duuuuude!" Emmett shouted somewhere off to my left. I looked over to see him hanging upside down on my couch.

Clothes were scattered across my room as were beer bottles. I may have done a wee bit of thinking-drinking. With Emmett. And Jasper.

Yeah for some strange reason I forgave Jasper when he came over with I'm-sorry-I-made-out-with-your-pregnant-girlfriend-it-was-an-accident beers and pizza.

I stumbled out of bed and tripped over Jasper who popped up with wide eyes. Well, I think he had wide eyes. I couldn't see his face considering he had a lamp shade over his head. He yanked the thing off his head and looked me up and down with raised eyebrows.

"Dude. What are you wearing?" he asked me. I stared at him in a confused daze and looked down. I was wearing a white shirt, a pair of socks and underwear. Tom Cruise's Risky Business style.

"I have no idea." I said in disbelief. "Em, how ya doin'?" I asked looking over at him. He got onto the couch the right way.

"I think-hold on." I heard him undoing the zipper of his jeans. "Yep. I'm not wearing underwear."

Both me and Jasper groaned in disgust at that.

"Wait." Jasper said and he yanked down his pants which made me leap back preparing to be scarred. But when he stood up he was wearing a pair of Emmett's pink boxer briefs over his own blue boxers. "How the hell did that happen?"

"Don't know. Don't care. Just give them back." Emmett pleaded.

"Dude. You can have them." Jasper laughed. "Pink's not my color." We both laughed which caused Emmett to turn red.

"It's not pink, it's salmon!" he shouted as the phone downstairs began to ring. My parents were probably at work so I ran downstairs while Jasper and Emmett argued.

The phone was about to stop ringing so I slid across the tile (in a total Risky Business style) and grabbed the phone.

"Hello? Hello?" I answered.

"Edward!" Alice screamed into the phone which caused me to jerk away. "Edward you have to come to the hospital right away. Something happened yesterday, and no one knows if she's gonna be okay or not. I mean she just dropped to the floor. I don't know if she got sick, or if it's the stress of everything coming down on her all at once. You just need to come to the hospital Edward! We haven't seen her yet and I she's still unconscious from what the doctors told-"

"ALICE!" I shouted over her hyperactive talking. "Calm down, and talk to me like a normal person."

I heard her take a deep breath. "Edward, it's Bella. Something's wrong with the baby."
