"Bella?" called Edward walking downstairs.
"In the kitchen honey" said Bella.
"What are you doing here so early in the morning?" asked Bella.
"I couldn't sleep. He was kicking me in the ribs" said Bella running a hand over her belly.
"I'm sorry honey" said Edward putting his arms around her.
"Its fine. Its not like we can stop him from kicking me. Are you coming to my doctors appointment today?" asked Bella turning to look at him.
"Of course. I'm just going to head into the office quickly and take care of some business and then I'll be all yours for the rest of the day" said Edward.
"Good" said Bella pulling him down to her level so she could kiss him. He went to move closer than stopped.
"I cant wait until he's born so I can hold you up against me" said Edward.
"I know. At what time are you going in?" asked Bella.
"At 6. I'm going to go get ready" said Edward kissing her and headed upstairs.
"When are you going to tell him?" asked Shelly.
"God Shelly you scared me" said Bella turning around to glare at her.
"I'm sorry. I thought you heard me. But it still doesn't change the fact that your lying to two men who have been nothing but good to you" said Shelly.
"Its not two good men its one. Edward is only good when he feels like it. Didn't I tell you that Miss. Roberts is pregnant. So that doesn't exactly prove that Edward is a good man" said Bella.
"You mean that lady from the office he was sleeping with?" asked Shelly.
"The one and the same. I was there a couple weeks ago and saw her. She's huge. Edward hasn't even mentioned her name in awhile and I'm starting to wonder if its because of her situation" said Bella.
"Whose situation?" asked Renesme entering the kitchen dressed for school.
"Nobody's sweetheart. Now give me a hug and kiss because I wont see you when you leave for school" said Bella. After saying goodbye to Renesme she headed upstairs to the bedroom she shared with Edward. The shower was still running so she assumed he was still in there. Bella took off her robe and started dressing and making herself look presentable. She had a date with a Mr. Black.
"Where are you going?" asked Edward from the doorway of the bathroom. He had only a towel wrapped around his waist. She looked at him through the mirror.
"Out. I have a breakfast date" she said finishing her make up before turning around and looking at Edward.
"With who?" asked Edward beginning to dress.
"An old friend who I haven't talked to in awhile" said Bella helping him with his tie.
"Somebody I should know of?" asked Edward.
"Not at this moment" said Bella grabbing her bag and walking out. She drove to this little cafe in the part of town that Edward never went.
"Isabella!" said Jacob his arms going around her. "Your pregnant? When did that happen?"
"Um. How about we sit and talk and than I'll tell you about my pregnancy" said Bella taking Jake's hand and leading him to a table. They ate and talked of everything that had happened in their lives.
"So tell me. When did you get pregnant" said Jacob.
"Um. I found out two weeks after Edward and I got back together. By than I had been about 3 weeks pregnant" Bella said hoping for some sort of recognition to flash across his face so she didn't need to spell it out. It didn't happen.
"Oh wow. How is Edward taking it?" asked Jacob completely clueless.
"'tknowthefactthathe'snotthefatherandyouare" said Bella in one swift breath.
"Excuse me" said Jacob staring intently at her trying to make sure what she had said was correct.
"What you heard was correct. Your the father. I had a paternal test done without Edward knowing and since it didn't match him and the other person I had slept with was you I'm pretty sure its you" said Bella waiting for the explosion.
"Pretty sure?" asked Jacob.
"As sure as those tests are" said Bella.
"So I'm going to be father" said Jacob his face showing no emotion what so ever.
"Yes. I've been trying to get the guts to tell you for months but when I ever made the attempt to dial your number I chickened out" said Bella.
"I'm going to be a father. Thats great news" said Jacob getting up hugging me as close as possible without squishing me.
"So your okay with it?" asked Bella.
"Yes I'm okay with it" said Jacob.
"Okay. But just to let you know I haven't told Edward" said Bella.
"Do you plan to?" asked Jacob.
"No" said Bella.
"Well you better start planning to because I want this child to have my name" said Jacob.
"I don't know how. It will hurt him but in a way he does deserve it. He's hurt me a lot and his ex-mistress is pregnant also. Everything is just one big mess" said Bella her eyes sadder than Jacob had ever seen. His mind went to the day she had come to him because staying at home with Edward hadn't been an option.
"Jake will you come with me to tell Edward?" she asked looking at him with pleading eyes.
"I'd do anything for you" said Jacob pulling her close and kissing her. Having her lips on his brought back up old memories. Jacob fell hard for her and when she stopped contacting him it had hurt. But that one unexpected phone call from her had brought a smile to his face once again.
"Come on. I bet Renesme would love to see you again" said Bella grabbing his hand and leading the way to her car. When they arrived to the large mansion Jacob was greeted by Esme's kind and knowing eyes. And Renesme's squeal of delight.
"Jacob! Your back. I'm so glad. I've missed you" said Renesme jumping on him. Her hand wrapped around his neck and her legs around his waist. If Jacob wasn't un-humanly large than she would have knocked him down flat.
"Whoa. Careful I'm not as young as I used to be. Look at you. You've gotten so big since the last time I saw you" said Jacob.
"Well duh. I'm a woman now" said Renesme grinning at him.
"If you say so" said Jacob his face getting this serious look.
"You okay Jake?" asked Bella.
"Yeah I'm fine. Why don't we all go out for lunch. My treat" said Jacob looking around.
"Awesome" said Renesme running upstairs to change.
"Thank- You Jake. You just made her day" said Bella kissing him on the cheek.
