Chapter XIV: Understanding

*TJ's POV*

"Excuse me?" I said as I became confused.

"Mr.Perkins she's two months pregnant. The baby is what's kicking her. That's why she's having stomach pains. And if she doesn't keep her blood pressure under control then something could happen to the baby. We need him to be as stress free as possible. Mr.Perkins?"

I just stood there with a blank look on my face. I can't believe Bella didn't tell me that she's two months pregnant. Why would she keep this from me? Why would she not want me to know that she's carrying my child? it's not making any sense to me. Wait...did she even know she was pregnant? or did she know she was pregnant but didn't want to tell me? I don't know....but what I do know is that something is up with Bella and I'm not liking it. I'm not liking it one bit.

"Mr.Perkins? Are you alright?" Dr.Alex asked

"Y-Yeah I'm fine. I-I'm going to be a f-father. Dr.Alex I don't know what to say. I can't believe she didn't tell me that he's pregnant. Why?"

"I don't know but would you like to go see hem? She's resting at the moment but I'm pretty sure she's awake."

"Yes. And thank you Dr.Alex you've helped me so much."

"You're most welcome Mr.Perkins. And I've scheduled future appointments for her to come see me. I want her to have an easy pregnancy, and I want the baby to be healthy."

"Most definitely. We will be here."

When I walked in the room Bella was wide awake and laying down. She looked as beautiful as ever.

"Hey ." She whispered.

"Hey how are you feeling love?" I asked as leaned in and kissed her .

"I feel okay now. They numbed the pain, and I can't feel anything now. My stomach hurts though." She says

I sighed and sat down in a chair and held her hand.

"Bella  baby why didn't you tell me that you're pregnant?" I asked.

"I-I didn't know I was." he said.

"Don't lie to me . That's one of the worst things you could ever do to me and that's lying. Bella why?"

Tears started falling down her face and her face turned a little red.

"I-I was scared TJ. I didn't know what to do, and I didn't know how to tell you. I was going to get an abortion but I didn't. I thought about it and I had decided to keep the baby. I didn't want to be hated for killing my own baby. I've grown attached to it. I love my baby , and I know you will too." She sobbed.

I stood up and pulled her close to me. She was hurting so bad, and I feel as if I made her feel terrible about it. I had no idea all of this had happened within a week.

"Shh shh. It's okay ....it's okay. I'm not mad. I just wish you could've told me. I don't like it when you keep secrets from me. I love you so much." I placed my hand on his tummy. " You and I are going to love and take care of this little baby. I'm happy that I'm going to be a daddy. We're going to be great parents I just know it. I have faith that we are Bella . I love you okay. Don't ever hide stuff from me okay."

"Okay I won't. I won't. I'm sorry...I'm so sorry."

"It's okay I forgive you.....I forgive you."

I held her in my arms caressing his tummy, and I kissed her lips.
