Afraid of Living

The Babies (#8)

Alexandrite's POV
Bella and Edward came back early. Why? Bella's pregnant! But, some conflicts are happening. Alice, Edward, and Jacod want her to abort. Carlisle says it would be safer for her to abort, but she doesn't have to unless she wants to, Esme agrees with Carlisle. And Rosalie, Emmet, and I want her to keep. I hate it when we disagree, but Bella's pregnant with a child. It doesn't matter that the child is a hybrid, and it doesn't matter to Bella that her body isn't compatible, she's a mother. Having a child makes you feel different, gives you the need to protect something. When you become a mother your instincts change. You have a deep need to protect your children first, then yourself. And that's how Bella feels. She'd rather die giving birth, then live with herself choosing to abort.
I sit downstairs with Bella, Jacob had just found out yesterday. She smiles at me, holding me hand, when Seth walks in with Esme.
"Come on Alexandrite, I have a surprise for you and Seth." Esme says.
I get up, looking at Seth, but he just shrugs.
I grab his hand, and we follow Esme. It takes a few minutes to get to our destination, meaning it's definitely out of hearing range from the house.
When she stops, we do, and she points up a little. We look, and sitting there, nestled in the trees, is a tree house.
"You built us a house?" I ask.
"I know you guys are probably going to be the next ones getting married, and it's aalready hard for you guys to sleep without each other. Plus, Emmet, Jasper, Edward, and especially Rosalie can't help but get mad when you snore. So, Alice, and I decided to build you a house. The room for the two of you look exactly like Andy's room in the house, but the bed is Kings size, and it's bigger, plus there is no closet." She explains.
I smile at her, and hug my mother all while saying "Thanks mom, we love it."
She hugs me back tight, then leaves. She must be giving us some privacy.
We walk up the spiral stairs that lead to the house, and we jump on the bed. He lays down next to me, and we kiss, this time a little heatedly. What is feeling going through me?
I tug at his shirt, demanding he takes it off. He breaks the kiss for a second, taking it off, but before I can kiss hina gain, he stops me.
"Are you sure Landrite? I can wait." He asks.
"I'm sure. Whenever I'm with you, the thoughts of Paul and Damien dissapear. All I want us you Seth, all I ever want is you. Please, I don't want to wait."
"You don't think we're rush in into things?"
"Seth, all I've wanted was for someone to love me. I've never really been loved before. Then I saw you, and everything changed. All I need is you."
He nods, and we continue.

I wake up, Seth's arms wrapped gently around me. I get up, getting dressed in sensible clothing from my dresser. I put on a golden yellow day dress, whiteblegging underneath, my grey flip flops, and my black leather bikers gloves. I watch as Seth gets dresses, his muscles on his perfectly toned body looking amazing.
Once he finishes, he wraps his arms around me from behind, and I lean into his back. I smile, loving this feeling, when I feel my tummy turn.
I rush to the bathroom, and puke into the toilet. Once I finish, I flush the toilet, and sit beside Seth on the bed.
"You okay?" He asks, rubbing my back.
"Yeah, come on, let's get to the house." I reply, and he nods.
We race, and I let him win, my stomach turning. I wave goodbye as he phases, and starts the run back to LA Push. He needs to see his mom, or she'll get worried.
I ignore the feeling as I sit on the sofa beside Bella. She smiles at me, and I smile back. Suddenly, my tummy turns again, and I rush to the bathroom. I puke again, but this time, someone holds my hair back for me, Alice or Rosalie probably.
I flush the toilet when I finish like last, shutting the toilet and sitting on it. Wow, I'm acting just like Bella did.
I look up to see Alice and Rosalie there.
Alice hands me something, a pregnancy test.
"Alice?" I question, star in at the thing.
"Do it. Your future always has been fuzzy to me, so I need to know." She replies.
I nod, and she leaves.

When the thing beeps, I take a deep breath in. 2 lines mean I'm pregnant. I grab the thing, and look, while Alice looks over my shoulder. 2 lines, I'm pregnant. I start to hyperventilate, while Alice squeals. Then, she notices me. She grabs my shoulders, and looks me in the eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"What if Seth doesn't want to be a father? I mean, Alice, we're 16, 16! What am I supposed to do!"
"Relax, we both know Seth. He lives you, no matter what. He will love being a father. Plus, you'll both be amazing parents."
I nod, then I think about something. "Why can't you be this supportive of Bella?"
"I support her, the child just makes my head hurt, causing me pain. It's future is fuzzy, and that means it's causing Bella's future to be fuzzy."" Oh, well, can you stop calling it Fetus?"
"Yes, now, one but Bella is home, so we will tell them when  they get home, okay?" Yes, but I'll tell Seth to come back when the others get back. When are they getting back?" I ask.
"In about 20 minutes. I call Seth for you, just go rest with Bella."
I nod, and rush downstairs, sitting beside me sister.
"You okay?" She asks.
"Bella, I'm pregnant." I reply.
She gasps, years of joy filling her eyes. "Seth?"
"Seth."
"When are you going to tellt he family?"
"When they get back, and Seth will be here to. Can you let me tell them?"
"Of course! Just, be wary of Edward and Emmet, and Rosalie, they are very protective."
I nod. "Also, Alice doesn't want you to abort. She's just cranky because they ebaby makes her vision fuzzy, about you and the people you interact with."
"Thanks for that. I need more epeople on my side."
"Yeah."
