Bella walked the path up to the place she hadn't visited in a long time. She had no place to go without feeling the humiliation radiating off of her. Her safe haven. The only place where she would be welcomed with arms opened.
Yet, she felt like a stranger as she nealed on the pews and sent a silent prayer to god.
I have no where to go. I feel so lost, like if I tell anyone about this blessing, they won't see is as that. I have no one. I doubt my mother will be happy when I tell her I'm pregnant. It hurts so much, I thought Edward loved me. But to see him in the arms of another I felt so betrayed. God, I'm begging you, just protect me and the baby that is growing inside of me. That baby's all I got now.
Bella finally let the tear's fall, she cried for her heartbreak, for her new acquired news. She felt safe enough that she left herself come apart. Her cry’s turned into outright sobs, which arose the attention of the father that was making his way towards Bella's form.
“Bella dear,” The father said as he sat by her in the alter. “ What a nice surprise to see you here. I haven't see you in such a long time.”
Bella tried to keep the tears at bay, the fathers kind words brought new tears to her eyes.
“Now what is it that is making you so sad. Such a nice soul like yours shouldn't be crying like so. What is it that has you in such a despair?”
She didn't know how to tell the father that she was bearing a child, but she had no one else. “Oh, father, I don't know what to do. I'm so scared, I just... I'm.... I'm pregnant and I don't know what else to do. I have no one....” Bella said, breaking out in a sob.
“Oh, Bella.” Embracing her as she continued to cry.
When her crying subsided, the father began reading:
“The Lord is my light and my salvation....Oh, do not hide yourself when I am trying to find you. Do not angrily reject your servant. You have been my help in all my trails before; don't leave me now. Don't forsake me, O God of my salvation. For if my father or mother should abandon me, you will welcome and comfort me.”

Enjoy. I am not sure when I will post the final version, but thats all I have for now. I want to start writing more lengthier chapters, and that takes time, so just bear with me.
The quote comes from Psalm 27.
Music for this chapter is Desperado by the Eagles.
Its unedited, so all mistakes are on me.
