Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight.

She sighed and looked down at the fifth EPT. It was positive too. Pregnant. She was only sixteen. She was worried how her mother would take this. She probably wouldn't care. Renee thought that she was a burden, and had always made her thoughts known. But she had horrible mood swings and it might be the straw that broke the camels back. Bella had taken the tests nearly a month ago. She was almost three months along now. The delay was out of fear and now she wouldn't be able to hide it much longer.

She stood and went to the living room, where her mother was watching tv with her current boyfriend.

"Mom, can I talk to you?"

"It can wait."

"Actually no it can't."

"Nothing can be that pressing."

"I wasn't going to say this in front of your friend, but I guess I will."

"Say what?"

"I'm pregnant."

"No you aren't. You can't be."

"The sickness at night? The want of apple juice? I hate apple juice and you know it."

"You won't be for whore."

"NO! You are not going to kill my baby! It takes two weeks to book it and I'll be to far along by then."

"You aren't going to bring a child into this house."

Bella pulled out her cell phone, She dialed a number.

"Dad?....Yeah....Can I come live with you?......No it's not......Dad, I'm pregnant.....She wants me to kill it. I can't kill my baby. I can't......Like now?.....Ok. He wants to talk to you."

"Charlie.....No. I will not have the little slut's bastard in my house.....Fine what ever.....When?.... Denali? No problem."

Renee handed the phone back.

"You have one month then you will be moving to Denali. Your father will be there for a while covering for a sheriff that is on leave."

"Good. I can't wait."

Bella went to her room and called James.

"Hey Izzy."

"Can you meet me?"

"Sure. Should I get you?"

"No meet me in the park across from Mom's."

"Sure."

Bella grabbed her jacket and went to leave.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Out for a little while."

"I don't think so."

"It's not like I can go out and get pregnant."

She pointed at her stomach. She walked out the door not waiting for a reply. She went and sat on the bench across from the jungle gym.

"Izzy!"

"Hey James. Can you sit? We have to talk."

"Crap. Que the break up."

"Actually, no. Uh, James, I'm pregnant."

"What? I am not- You had better not-"

"Don't worry. I'm leaving for Denali, Alaska in a month. You'll never see me again."

"Good. I wouldn't want to be associated with a whore anyways."

"Fuck you, asshole. Should have known you were just like every one else." Bella said, standing up.

"Don't call James. I won't miss you, and your baby is never going to know your name."

Bella stormed home and to her room. She curled up on her bed and cried. She was miserable as the next month passed. Bella got on the plane to Denali. She cried silently the entire way. The flight attendant sat beside her.

"Are you ok, dear?"

Bella shook her head.

"No. Not really."

"Was there a death in the family?"

Bella's tears started anew. She sighed and looked out the window.

"No." Then she added, under her breath, "A life."

Bella pressed a palm to her stomach. Suddenly her eyes widened.

"Do you have the time?"

"Nearly 10 AM."

"Thank you."

Bella dug a Ziploc bag and swallowed a couple pills.

"Meds?"

"Ummm, yeah."

The attendant smiled warmly.

"So what brings you to Denali?"

"My dad is there and I decided that I would rather live with him than my mother."

"Why? If you don't mind me prying?"

"My mother made me choose between her and my unborn baby. I choose my baby."

"Goodness. Where is the father?"

Bella shrugged.

"I don't know. I don't care. He denied knowing me the last time I saw him. If he doesn't want my baby he doesn't deserve it."

The woman smiled at her.

"I was fifteen when I had my daughter. Everything pans out how it's supposed to."

"Thank you."

Bella's palm was once again pressed to her stomach.

"I'm Tanya."

"Bella."

"Maybe we'll see each other again."

"Maybe. Thank you for the talk. I've heard all sorts of negative things about my choice."

"I know. I got that too. Just remember this is right. And there will always be love for you."

Bella smiles, thanks her again and steps off the plane. Her eyes scanning for her father.

"Bells!"

"Daddy!"

She walked quickly and threw her arms around his neck, crying into his shoulder.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

"Shh, Bells, it's ok. I'm past mad. And I was never mad at you. She should have taken better care of you." Charlie rubbed her back soothingly.

"I can learn from her mistakes."

"That's my girl. You ready to go home."

"Yeah. And I'm starving."

Charlie smiled.

"Lets go get something to eat."

"Why are you in Denali?"

"The sheriff here was called for something for the government. He asked me to cover for him for a while. We'll move back to Forks in about seven months."

"I'm about four months right now. My baby will be about a month old."

"My grandbaby." Charlie said with a smile. Bella smiled at him. This was the first time family had excepted her baby. She pressed her palm to her stomach.

They went to a diner. After eating, Charlie took Bella home.

"The car is yours. You need to be able to go to the doctor's and school and stuff."

"Thanks Dad. Most father's would lock up their daughters when they're in my condition."

"I'm not most. So here is your room and I figured that we could set up a bassinet in your room, then we can set up a nursery at home." Bella nodded.

"I need to find out about the doctor."

"I set you up an appointment for tomorrow afternoon."

"Thank you."

"I need to run to the station. I will be back later tonight."

"Ok. Bye Dad."

"Bye Bells"

Bella put away the clothes that she had brought with her and her favorite books. She picked up her favorite one and settled on a large armchair to read. When Charlie came home that's where he found her. Sound asleep in the chair. He laid a blanket over her. For the first time, he saw that her stomach was slightly rounded. When she had called he didn't believe her, until her recognized the pain and panic in her voice. Now he could see it with his own two eyes. Something else had happened that she wouldn't talk about. Something about the father. She hadn't mentioned him.

"I love you daddy." She sighed in her dreams.

Charlie leaned down and kissed temple. Bella woke the next morning. She stood and stretched. She saw Charlie sitting at the table reading the paper and drinking coffee.

"Morning Daddy." She kissed his cheek.

"Morning Bells."

"Do you want some eggs?"

"I'd love some."

"Do we have apple juice?"

"I thought you didn't like it."

"Me too. My baby decided otherwise. What time is my appointment?"

"One."

"I thought that I'd go by the school and get registered and all that jazz before it."

"Ok. I'll give you money for groceries."

"Ok. I'll go after." She glanced at the clock. It was only 7.

"Do you get morning sickness?"

"Yeah. Normally at night though. It's what made me suspect it in the first place."

After eating their eggs, Charlie left for work. Bella went to get into the shower, she looked at herself in the mirror. She was beginning to show. Bella showered and got dressed then went to the school.

"May I help you?" The secratary asked as she entered the office.

"Yes. I need to register."

"Name?"

"Isabella Swan."

Bella registered.

"And the final question: Any medical conditions?"

"I am pregnant."

There was curiosity in her eyes when she looked at Bella.

"There you are all fixed. When will you start?"

"Monday."

"See you then."

Bella left then went to the doctor.

"Hello. Can I help you?"

"I have an appointment."

"Last name?"

"Swan."

"Isabella?"

"Yes."

"Have a seat. Dr. Smith will be with you soon. How old are you, dear?"

"Uh. I'm 16."

She frowned a little and nodded. Bella sat down and pulled out Wuthering Heights. When she was called back she was led to a room, where she was asked to wait. As she sat there she became more and more nervous. She began to pick at her fingernails. The doctor came in a few minutes later.

"Ms. Swan. I am Dr. Michaela Smith."

"Hi." After the check up the doctor asked

"Where is the father?"

"In Phoenix. I'm- we're better off without him."

"I take it you had a falling out."

"Yes. We did. My child has no father." Bella sighed. Thinking about how alone she really was. She had Charlie. She had to remind herself of that.

"And your parents?"

"Dad's great. My mother was always burdened with me and kicked me out, so I came here to Dad. He's giving me his full support even though he doesn't approve entirely." Bella smiled at the thought of her father. "I can tell he's trying to support me."

After she left the the doctor's office Bella went to the grocery store. She got a cart and started shopping. A boy about her age came up to her.

"Hello, I haven't seen you around here."

"Umm, yeah. I just moved here to live with my dad."

"Really? I'm Jon."

"Bella."

"I was thinking maybe we could go out sometime."

"I'm sorry, but I can't date."

"Why not? Over protective father?"

"Yes and no. Dad's over protective, but you won't want to date me. Trust me."

"And why not?" Suddenly Bella turned green.

"Where is the bathroom here?"

Fallowing Jon's pointing finger she went and was sick. Jon was still there when she got back.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah. That was earlier than normal."

"What?"

"My morning sickness."

"Morning sickness?"

"Yes."

"Oh."

"You can just walk away. I'll understand."

The boy turned and left.

On Monday morning Bella got up and put on a pair of jeans. They were getting tight around the middle. She sighed and went to her dresser and pulled out a t-shirt. She pulled it on. It showed the swelling of her stomach. She sighed as she realized that maternity clothes were on the way. She went downstairs and took her vitamins and made breakfast. She packed herself a lunch, not trusting the school system to provide what she and her unborn-child needed. She got her backpack and left to face school. She sat in the parking lot for a long minute, before getting out. She got her schedule. She found her locker and then went to find her Algebra class.

"Look a new girl."

"Hey!" Bella turned.

"I'm Hollie and this is Brandi."

"Bella."

"Where are you from?"

"Phoenix."

"Why would you come to Denali?" Bella shook her head.

"Say you want to come to the pier tonight? We go there to have a couple drinks and some smokes."

"No. I don't drink and I don't smoke. No drugs either."

"Scared you'll get caught?"

"No scared that it will kill my baby."

"Your baby?"

"I'm pregnant. I moved here so that I wouldn't have to kill my baby. I'm going to be anti-social while I'm here. I won't be partying, I won't be doing any of that. Go ahead and tell who ever so they'll tell everyone else."

She went to class. Each class was a dull blur. Bella realized she had gym last period. She went to the coach.

"Ms. Swan, your first day I don't expect you to have your clothes."

"I will not be participating at all. I'll have a doctor's note tomorrow."

"Why is that?"

"I'm pregnant."

"Uh huh."

Just then the secretary came in and handed a piece of paper to the coach.

"Ms. Swan you will be working in the front office instead of here at the gym." Bella nodded.

"Yes sir."

Bella picked up her bag and fallowed the secretary.

"Your doctor doesn't want you to do anything to active."

"She said that when I went for a check up Friday."

Bella rubbed her stomach.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah. I'm just a little nauseous."

"Do you get sick often?"

"At night. Not normally during the day."

Bella went into the office a few weeks later.

"Hey Lora."

"Hi. How are you?"

"Good. Boo decided not to make me nauseous today." Bella said, smiling. Lora laughed and handed Bella a folder of things to copy.

"How far along are you?"

"Almost five months. I get to find out whether it's a boy or a girl soon." Bella said with a big smile. Lora laughed.

"What do you want?"

"A happy healthy baby."

"You don't care."

"No."

"What does the father want?"

"I don't know. I haven't spoken to nor have I seen him since I told I was pregnant. I don't really care either. He called me a whore and left. Then he pretended not to know me the next time I ran into him."

"I'm sorry." Bella shrugged.

"What are you doing after school?"

"I have put off the clothes shopping for as long as I can. I couldn't button my jeans this morning." She sighed.

"I hate shopping." Lora chuckled.

"It's one of those things in pregnancy." Bella smiled.

"I'm learning that. You know I always thought that I would regret it if I had to make this choice, but I can't say I do. My life already revolves around my baby, and it's still a part of me."

"You one of the odd ones that actually want a baby and not a doll." Bella shrugged.

"I've always beat to my own drum."

"What are you doing this weekend?"

"Don't know. I think Dad's off this weekend. I'm hoping to just be with him."

"He's very important to you."

"Dad's the only support that I have in regards to my family. I moved in with him so that I wouldn't have to abort."

Tears came to her eyes at the thought.

"I put off telling my mother until it was to late for that. She was either going to not care or she was going to do what she did. I prefer this. Dad loves me and I know it."

"Glad you know that Bells."

Bella smiled up at him.

"Hi, Daddy." She went and hugged him.

"We're here for the lock down."

Lora announced it over the intercom.

"How's Boo?"

"Behaving for the moment." Charlie smiled and kissed her forehead.

"Good." Bella went to answer the phone when it rang. A while later.

"Hey, Bells, are you going straight home?"

"No. I need to get some clothes. My pants are to little right now."

"When will you be home?"

"Around 5 or 5:30."

"I'll bring some Chinese home yeah?"

"Sure Dad. That sounds good. I'll be tired and won't want to cook."

"Call if it's any later."

"Of course."

"Bye, Bells."

"Bye, Daddy. See you tonight."

Charlie kissed the top of her head and left.

"You are such a Daddy's Girl."

"I'll admit it." Bella said, laughing.

"Goodbye. See you tomorrow."

"See you."

Bella went to the store and sighed as she walked towards maternatiy wear. She passed a woman with a small baby asleep on her shoulder. She smiled and place her palm to her bump. The woman looked at her, harshly.

"How old is she?" Bella asked, softly. The woman's face softened.

"Three weeks. This is Melanie."

"She's beautiful." Bella removed her jacket and placed it in the buggy she had. The woman smiled at her.

"When are you due?"

"A little over four months from now."

"A lot of teen girls just stare they never say anything."

"Ever since I found out about my baby, I've been watching mothers with new babies. I haven't ever been around little babies."

"I hadn't either. It comes naturally." Bella smiled at the thought.

"Is the father around?"

"No, he's not. My dad is though, and I don't think that I could do this without him."

"Do you know the sex yet?"

"That's next visit."Bella said excitedly.

"Congratulations."

"You too." Bella went to search for clothes. All the things she bought showed off her rounding stomach. She could no longer hide the little miracle growing inside her. She no longer wanted to. She got home around 5:45.

"Daddy?"

"Hey Bells." Bella smiled.

"You seem so happy today."

"I am just happy right now. I'm going to go change."

"The food is in the fridge, honey."

"Thanks."

Bella went to her room and put on a pair of sweats and a tshirt. She looked in the mirror and put her hands to the bump.

"Hi, Boo. There you are. I love you and Grandpa loves you very much. I would do anything for you, love. I can't wait to see you. I'm not going to hide you anymore. I want the world to know you are right here. Safe, loved, growing, thriving."

She went back downstairs.

"Mommy to be Bella." Charlie said. Bella chuckled.

"I don't want to hide Boo any more."

"Then don't."

"I'm not." Charlie laughed and went back to his ball game.

So this is my first chapter story. Charlie is going to be OOC, but I needed someone there to be her shoulder. So no Cullens yet, but they will be in here soon. This is a BxE story with a little of the other couples thrown in. So tell me what you think. ~ Oasis ~
