A/N: To "GUEST" dont be a hypocrite, its okay to read stories where Edward cheats on Tanya with Bella or Bella cheats on Jacob with Edward and they get their HEA, but when they do it to each other its suddenly VILE!? And dont tell me you havent read and liked and constantly reviewed a story where E or B cheats on whoever they are with to be with each other. And, this is a fictional story. Filled with drama, lust, love, and MISTAKES. People aren't perfect and neither are all marriages. It doesnt mean that they are VILE human beings, it just means they are human. If you havent realized this by now, you have a lot to learn. Besides if you dont like it DONT READ IT.

Now onto Chapter 3:

Edward had been gone a month, it was October and Halloween was approaching. Edward Jr was going to be a small little lion for Halloween this year. Angela, my best friend who happened to be married to another Officer on Edward's ship had came with me to find the right costume.

Her daughter Blaire whom was two was going to be a princess. The FRG had planned a Halloween party this year for the spouses and children that had been left behind as our significant others protected the seas and traveled the world.

I didnt plan on dressing up as anything, the event was mainly for the children. A small distraction to forget for a few hours that mommy or daddy wouldnt be home againt tonight, or the next day, or the day after that.

Luckily, EJ was too little to notice. Blaire however at two, almost three asked for her father quite often and Angela and I kept assuring her he would be home soon.

Looking through our shopping bags in the living room I notice that the tail for Ej's costume was missing. "Shit."

Angela looked up at me. "Dont tell me they missed something?"

The same thing happened to her last year and Blaire's monkey outfit went without the monkey tail. By the time she had gone back to declare it missing, they were sold out of her size.

I stood and went for Edward's keys, "Mind if I go and see if they have the missing piece, Ange?"

My car was getting a tune-up and an oil change. We had been driving around in Ange's mini-van all day.

She smiled warmly at me as EJ fiddled with one of Edward's PS3 remotes on the TV stand, "No you go right ahead. Ill watch him for a bit."

Running out the door, I started Edward's Volvo and sped out of the driveway and towards Party City, stupid party city always fucking up perfectly good costumes.

Mumbling angrily to myself as I drove, I didnt notice the cop car tailing me until the red and blue lights flashed.

"Crap."

Pulling on the side of the road, I waited impatiently for the police officer to tap on my window. It was the season finale of Grey's Anatomy, I didnt want to have to miss it.

Maybe I could text Ange and ask her to record it.

Fiddling through my purse I pulled out my lisense, then searched for the registration and insurance card in Edward's dashboard where I found four Trojan Magnum condoms.

In horror, I watched them fall to the passengers side floor and stared at them feeling numb and shocked.

"Ma'm," The officer called outside my window as I slowly pressed the button to bring the window down and looked up at big dark brown eyes.

He looked at me as if confused and then I noticed the hot tears streaming down my cheeks.

"Awe hell," He took off his police hat and ran his fingers through thick short black hair and sighed.

"Please dont cry... I just wanted to inform you; your left tail-light was out, you were also doing ten above the speed-limit, but that's alright."

He formed a lopsided grin and extended his hand in a friendly way.

I shook it lightly and sighed and then laughed. "No I'm sorry," I said rubbing my tears away. "I wasnt crying because you pulled me over."

He leaned against the car and arched his eyebrows. "What's a pretty young woman like you doing crying then, is everything alright?"

I nodded meekly. If finding condoms in your husbands car when you and he never used them meant everything was alright, then sure.

Everything was fucking dandy.

"I'm Black. I mean Jacob. Jacob Black," He introduced himself to me which was what he had initially meant to do as he had shook my hand.

"I'm Bella, Bella Cu-Swan."

Saying his,our last name at that moment would send me into a fit of streaming tears.

He nodded smiling and stood straight taking a step back from my car. "You drive safe now, Bella Swan. I'll see you around."

"Goodnight," I called as I watched him get into his squad car and drive off ahead of me.

"Take a deep breathe Bella. Deep breathe," I told myself as I drove to go get my son's costume squared away.

When I finally made my way home, Ange was feeding EJ bits of chicken nuggets and Blaire was dancing in front of the TV to yo-gabba gabba.

She looked at me, and she knew. "What's wrong?" Her eyes wide.

I threw the condoms in the trash bin beside her and she stared at them, confused.

"Found these in Edward's car."

Her jaw-dropped. "No. WAY!"

I shrugged. "What do I do now Ange?"

She shook her head bewildered. "He wouldnt do this to you again Bella, he loves you. Dont jump to conclusions."

"What if its her again!?" I was sobbing, sobbing as I sat beside her. Ej was staring at the television.

She soothed small circles into my back. "It cant be. She got transferred to another ship."

"God..." Suddenly, it felt like I couldnt breathe. My chest heaved.

"Relax Bella. The next time he calls, just mention it casually and see what he says."

The problem with that, I didnt fucking know when the next time he called would be.

"Why does he always have to be gone when I find out Ange?"

Shrugging, she went to hand Blaire her sippy cup as she danced around us. "When it happened to me. He was in Japan for three months..."

"I was paying some bills and used his email address and I checked his trash and sent messages and there she was. An EM2 straight out of A-school."

"Men are such pigs," I sighed.

"You both really need to do counseling. Give him an ulitmatum. You cant keep letting him hurt you like this Bells."

Edward refused counseling, I had gone a few times on my own. To cope, to get over his betrayal.

I nodded meekly looking passed her as she hugged me.

"Just dont jump to conclusions Bella, it will be ok. They may not even be his..."

Holding on to some small amount of hope at her statement, I sighed and then took a deep breathe.

Be strong Bella, I told myself staring into Ej's blue eyes.

He had his father's eyes.
