Life After Edward

BPOV:

I winced again in pain. It had never been this bad before.

“Bella, are you sure you’re alright?” Alice asked as I ran past her. She followed me to the restroom. I tried to tell her to leave, but she just held my hair up for me. Her cold skin on my neck felt really good.

A few minutes later she was helping me off the floor. I brushed my teeth and then she helped me back to my bed.

“Have you been to a doctor at all about this? Because it kicking shouldn’t hurt you this much.” Alice asked she put me in bed, and sat on the edge.

“I’ve been to a doctor.” I said not looking at her.

“What did the doctor say about it?”

“It just started getting this bad.” I knew it would be easier to tell her, but I also knew she would tell him.

“Please let me take you to Carlisle.” Alice begged, I almost said yes, but I was afraid he would figure it out.

“No, I’m fine, it’s almost over anyways.” I said hoping she would agree.

“How about I bring you to the hospital then?” Alice asked as I winced again.

“I’ll be ok!”

“Ok fine, but I’m going to be watching you.” She said glaring at me. “Who’s the father?

Her question surprised me; I didn’t know what to say. I looked away from her, thinking.

“Bella, who is the father?” Alice asked, and I could hear the concern in her voice.

I thought for another second, and then I knew the answer that would make most sense.

“Jacob Black.” I said quickly.

“WHAT?!?! You’re having a pup?” Alice said angrily.

“Wait, you know about the wolves?

“Stories from Carlisle. He ran into them the first time he moved to Forks.” Alice explained, still angry at me.

“So that legend is true, that would be why none of you ever went on La Push territory.”

She nodded to me.

“So is the dog here?” Alice asked.

“No.”

“Why?”

“I knew it would be safer for me and the baby to leave.” I had no idea where any of these lies were coming from, and Alice seemed to believe me, which surprised me even more.

“That’s for sure, but won’t he follow you?”

“I broke up with him and left when I found out I was pregnant. He doesn’t know about the baby.”

“Oh.”

There were a few moments of an awkward silence. I was about to tell her I was tired when she spoke again.

“So because it’s part dog is probably why it’s so strong. Has there been anything else unusual about this?” Alice asked as she rubbed her cold hand over my stomach.

“The last week I haven’t been able to hold down any food. Every time I eat it comes back up. Which makes me hungry all the time, yet food isn’t even that appetizing anymore. I have a craving for something, but I just don’t know what it is.” I explained to her then I yawned.

“Look if this gets any worse I’ll force you to go see Carlisle. Now get some rest, I’ll be back later.” Alice said to me as she tucked me in.

“Fine, I’ll see him, but only if it gets worse.” I said as I watched her head to the door. “Alice?” I had to ask her.

“Yes Bella?”

“Promise you won’t leave, because I still think this is a dream.”

“Bella, I could never leave you in this condition. I’m just going hunting with the rest and I’ll be back later. I promise.” She smiled at me then left the room.
