Forever - Embry Call FF

Chapter 5

I haven't heard from Bella or the Cullens in weeks. They said they'd let me know when my sister and Edward return, but they haven't. Every time I call them, they don't answer. I would try going over there, but Embry would never let me. Jacob has officially come back, but he's moodier than ever. You can't even mention a wedding without him shouting and storming off. It's quite annoying. After everything that happened, he still can't get it through his head that Bella loves Edward.

Dad and I sit on the couch, watching some golf tournament he's interested in, when the phone decides to ring. Dad pasues the TV, rushing to answer the phone. His voice begins to raise as he's talking, almost to where he's yelling. After he hangs up, he sighs and runs his hand down his face.

"Who was that?" I hesitantly ask, not wanting to upset him further.

"Bella. Apparently she caught some flu and she's at some rehabilitation center in Sweden." I know what that means, Bella's been turned. But why the far stretched fib?

"Um, I just remembered, Alice wanted me to come over and help her with something. So I'll just head over there." I quickly get up, grabbing Bella's keys to her truck. Before the wedding, she told me she wanted me to have it. I drive as fast as I can to the Cullen's, all but flinging myself out of the vehicle when I stop. I'm greeted by Carlisle standing by the door, holding it open for me. "What's going on? And don't tell me the lie Bella told Dad. I want the truth."

"It'd be easier to show you." He replies as we walk up the stairs to their extra living room.

"Show me what?" I pasue, taking in what's before me. Bella lays on the couch, looking like the life has been drained out of her. A blanket covers most of her now thin body. Edward stands off to the side while Rosalie surprisingly stays close to my sister.

"Lucy, why are you here?" Bella asks, her voice hoarse.

"I knew something was wrong. The story you told Dad didn't add up. Bella, what the hell is going on?"

"Rose? Help me up?" Rose places her arms around Bella, gently lifting her onto her feet. The blanket falls to the floor, and so does my jaw. Bella's belly protudes out of her shirt, veins crawling around it. "Surprise?"

"How? What? How is this even possible?"

"We don't know." Carlisle tells me, placing a hand on my shoulder.

"Would you like to come closer?" Rose softly asks.

"I, um, no. I, I can't do this." I race down the steps, passing Jacob along the way. I hurry into the truck, speeding off to wherever.
