BPOV:

I watched the soccer game by myself. After everything that happened with Mike and the fact that everyone was constantly whispering about it I decided solitude was the best way to watch the game.

But I was guilty of sneaking glances at Edward Cullen in between plays. I don't think he noticed. Or atleast I hoped he didn't notice.

When the game was over I collected my little soccer star. Him and Adam, Emmett Cullen's son, were the only two who scored goals. Needless to say Jake's head was as big as a soccer ball. And boy did he talk about that goal all the way home.

Jake talked so fast and so loudly as I drove back to our little apartment down near the police station. I was barely attentive to what he was saying, I was just thinking about that night when I left Mike. It had weighed a lot on my mind lately. Especially with Jake starting a sport that he should have a dad around for. A clumsy mom was only good for so much.

"So mom did you see it? Where you paying attention to how hard I kicked the ball? Wasn't it awesome! I wish Grandpa Charlie would have been able to get off work in time to see it. Atleast Grandma Sue saw it!" my son chattered.

"Yes Jake I saw it. I was paying attention you know. You're my baby boy, I watch everything you do." I laughed.

"I met Adam Cullen. He's my new best friend. I want to get together and play with him one of these days mom. Please please please?"

"Jacob Ryan Swan, you know better than to beg."

"But Mom…I really want to play with him at his house. He has a jungle gym and all this cool stuff. He was telling me all about it before the game!"

"I will see what I can do. Adam's dad gave me his moms number to call to set up a play date. If you stop begging maybe I will call him when we get home."

"Oh mom you're the best! I love you mom!"

"Yeah yeah. Remember that in a couple years, and I love you too kiddo."

I was rewarded with silence the rest of the way home. Jake knew how to get his way, and he knew he had me wrapped around his little finger. When I pulled up to the apartment and we got inside I crashed on the couch, debating about calling Rosalie.

Jake needed a reward for playing so well today, so I decided to make the phone call. And I hoped Rose didn't pick up.

"Hello?" was all I heard her say over the reciever. So much for not picking up.

"Hi Rosalie? This is Bella Swan…Emmett gave me your number to call about setting up a play date with your son." I replied nervously. I hadn't talked to anyone that I had gone to school with in years.

"Bella! Hi! Em told me you would be calling. And Adam has been badgering me about your son since he stepped off the field. Apparently they hit it off pretty well. Adam tells me their best friends now."

"Yeah that's what little Jake told me too. And that he wanted to go come over and use your jungle gym that Adam talked so much about. Are you and Adam free in about an hour? I'm going to feed Jake some lunch and then maybe I could bring him over?"

"Of course! Adam passed out as soon as he got in the car, so Ill be waking him shortly for lunch. Come over in about an hour."

"Jeez, I wish Jake would have fallen asleep in the car. His mouth was going a mile a minute. But yeah, Ill see you in an hour or so. Is there anything I can bring?"

"Nope. Just your son and yourself!" Rosalie replied as she rattled off directions to their house. We hung up the phone and I relayed the good news to Jake. Who was estatic.

We talked and made fun of each other as I cooked up a nice lunch for him. This was how I liked it to be, me and my son, happy. I hated it when the darkness crept in at night. When I silently cried myself to sleep at night, not wanting to wake up Jake with my tears. I put a brave face on in front of my son and everyone else. While inside I was shattered into a million pieces that couldn't be reconstructed.

I pulled up to Rosalie and Emmett's house about an hour later, they lived in a huge house. But that didn't surprise me. I knocked on the door as Jake was practically jumping out of his pants next to me. Adam practically ripped the door off the hinges to open it. Apparently he was expecting us. He dragged Jake out back, Rosalie met me in the kitchen.

I followed her out to the nice enclosed porch that over looked their huge back yard.

"So Bella. It's so good to see you again. I thought you had moved away from here though?" she asked.

"Yeah, I lived in Seattle for awhile. That's where I had gone to school and eventually had Jake." I replied sadly. I knew this wasn't going to be an easy conversation to have.

"Where was Jake's dad at the game today? By the way, Im so sorry for the lost of the elder Jacob, Emmett told me earlier that he had been killed."

"Yeah, big Jake was beaten to death in a mugging up in Port Angeles one night shortly after I graduated and had started school in Seattle. And little Jake's dad isn't around anymore. Mike and I got divorced last week."

"As in Mike Newton? The same Mike we went to school with for years? The annoying Mike? That dated Jessica Stanley."

I couldn't help but chuckle when she called Mike annoying. "Yes that Mike. I was Mrs. Mike Newton for 4 long years. We got married shortly after we graduated University of Seattle. We had been married a year before I found out I was pregnant with Jake. We started to argue a lot and when Jake was born he didn't help at all. So I asked for a divorce." I explained, hedging around the detail. But I knew Rosalie could see right through me, she was always good at that.

"Wow. I'm really sorry. Does Jake get to see his dad at all?"

"No. When we got a divorce Mike gave up all of his right to Jake. He's not allowed to see him or be in a 100 yard radius of us."

"Jeez. I'm really sorry. I cant believe someone would just give up the rights to their child. That's horrible. Did you get a restraining order so he can't come around Jake or you?"

I took a deep breath before I started to talk. If I was going to tell anyone what happened it might as well be Rosalie. "It was for me. The night I left, the night of my 26th birthday, I told Mike we were leaving and he hit me a few times. And broke my wrist. And being that my dad is the Chief of police I kinda had to get a restraining order."

"Oh my god! That son of a bitch! What an asshole! How could he hit the mother of his child! When he was the one who did wrong? That It utterly disgraceful Bella. I am so sorry. If you ever need help with anything please don't hesitate to call me."

"Thanks Rose. Jake needs friends, I'm glad he found Adam. And probably Emmett, since I'm sure he plays with Adam all the time. He needs someone to wear his ass out so I don't have to do it anymore." I tried to joke.

That was when I watched Jake slip from the top rung of the jungle gym and fall straight to the ground, cutting open his head really badly.

EPOV:

After the soccer game I returned home to a message on my machine from the hospital. They needed me to start immediately. And they needed me in the pediatric ER within the hour.

So I placed a call to my mother, asking her to keep Emmalie for a few hours. Atleast going back to work early would give me some time to not think about everything that had gone wrong in my life. I didn't want to think about it anymore. I just wanted to go on with my life.

I hopped in the Volvo and headed to Forks General Hospital to start a long shift for the night. As soon as I entered the hospital, I felt like I was home. The nurses station directed me directly to the pediatric wing of the ER and prepared me for what seemed to be like a busy evening.

Patients shuffled in and out of my tiny exam room. Parents bringing their kids in for all sorts of things. I couldn't tell you how many broken bones I set that night. But it all took my mind off the bad things.

Mid afternoon early evening I came across the chart with a very familiar last name. Swan. So it was someone in Bella's family. He had no idea what her son's name was, but once he saw the signature he knew it was Bella bringing her son in.

This wasn't exactly the way I wanted to meet her again, atleast not with her son having a gaping hole in his head from falling off my sister's jungle gym with my nephew.

I instructed the nurse to bring them both into the room. Bella was a nervous wreck, but her son didn't seem to mind that he was bleeding heavily from his head.

"Hey there buddy, whats your name?" I asked the little boy.

"Jacob Swan." he replied.

"Well Jacob according to your chart you fell off a jungle gym. Can you tell me how you fell?"

"You see doctor man, I was playing with my new best friend Adam. And I climbed all the way to the top of it! I was up sooooo high…." he began to say, that's when Bella stopped him.

"He climbed all the way up and his foot slipped off the rung and he fell, I think he hit his head on quite a few bars as he fell. That's what cut him." Bella interjected, turning the story into a short one.

"Well, it seems to me that your going to need some stitches little guy, and I'm going to have to take a picture of the inside of your head to make sure your okay…" I replied, trying to concentrate on Jacob and not Bella.

It seemed to me that her son wasn't really phased by the pain in his head, he just wanted to keep talking about how high up on the jungle gym he was. And that if his shoe hadn't been untied he never would have fallen.

"Well you know Jake, Adam is my nephew…" I told him as I cleaned the nasty cut on the back of his head. I noticed that Bella seemed to look woozy. "Bella? Are you going to be okay? You can step out for a minute if you need to catch fresh air. I seem to remember someone getting sick in Biology junior year when we were blood typing. I know you don't like the smell of blood." I suggested to Bella.

Before Jake could butt into the conversation Bella piped up, albeit extremely quietly. "No. I'm not leaving him by himself. And yes, I still hate the smell of blood."

"You went to school with my mom? And your Adam's uncle? Wow doctor your really cool!" Jake said squirming around.

I began to stitch up his head and laughed. "Well yes I am Adam's uncle. His dad is my brother. And yes I went to high school with your mom. We had biology together in school. We were lab partners."

"That's so cool. So that means you went to school with my dad then?" Jake asked, and I noticed Bella's face tense up immediately. It seemed like it was quite the tense subject.

"Well who is your dad? Maybe I did go to school with him?" I asked cautiously. It was obvious to see on Bella's face that she was in complete distress.

"I heard Mom saying once that his name is Mike. I don't remember him too well though."

"Yeah I went to school with him. But we need to get you to the cat scan machine so we can take a picture of the inside of your head to make sure its okay." I said, ending that conversation. Apparently Bella had once been married to Mike Newton and created a baby with him. And I had no idea why that upset me so much. Then again, I never liked Mike in high school.

I guided the two of them to the cat scan area of the pediatric unit and set everything up.

"I'm sorry in my son made that awkward for you. He doesn't remember very much of his dad. And he likes to ask a lot of questions." Bella said quietly from the chair by the door as I took the pictures.

"It's okay. If you don't mind me asking, what happened to Mike? I moved to Chicago so I have no idea what happened to anyone we graduated with. He's okay isn't he?" I asked. I could see Bella's eyes go blank and sad.

"Oh yes. He's still alive. We got a divorce a few weeks ago. And he hasn't seen Jake in over a year. Jake wont ever see his dad again." she replied sadly.

I ended the conversation there, Jake sprang from the table and met us at the door. I led them back to exam room to look over the CAT scan pictures.

"Well you lucked out there little guy. No concussion or anything. But the stitches in your head are going to be sensitive for a couple days okay? I'm going to leave instructions on how to care for them with you Bella. And then I want to see you guys back in 2 weeks to see about taking them out." I instructed, in completely doctor mode.

"Sure. Two weeks from today. And Ill watch him closely Dr. Cullen. Thank you for all your help." Bella said as she disappeared out the door.

And for the first time since I left Tanya I felt happy and warm. Something that Isabella Swan did to me. I couldn't describe it if I tried. But I was itching to spend more time with her. To see why she was so broken and sad. She was a shell of the Bella Swan I used to know. And I'll be damned if I let her go through life as sad as she is now.

As I finished up my shift and headed home I couldn't get Bella out of my head. I had decided to make it my mission to get to the bottom of things. To make her happy again. And I don't know why I felt like I needed her in my life.
