Here's the next chapter! I'm saving most of this for my closing note, but I have to thank the customers at the hardware store I work at for having inane conversations that I can use to make Rosalie sound like she knows what she's talking about! This chapter is twice as long, but tons happens. Enjoy and don't forget to check me at the bottom…you'll see why later.
EPOV
Bella and I had been going hot and heavy for the past three weeks and she wasn't kidding about teaching me a thing or two. She had this amazing little vixen locked inside, and when she let her out it was like she was a whole new woman. Classes and Bella were the only things I had time for and it seems that my friends noticed my absence, because after spending some time down at the practice rooms I opened my door to find myself face to face with Emmett and Jasper.
"Holy shit, he lives!" Emmett yelled and I pushed past him to head to the bathroom.
"What do you want, and how'd you get in my room?" I shot back as I reapplied some deodorant and checked my hair.
"Hello, I'm an RA…I can get into any room if I want to." Jasper commented as I stepped back into my room.
"I'm sure the housing department would love that posted on the school website."
"Seriously Edward, where in the hell have you been?" Jasper was trying to get me to spill, but I didn't want them shitting all over my newfound relationship.
"I've been busy."
"So busy that you ditch us and then drop off the face of the earth for weeks, Eddie this isn't like you. What'd you do meet some chick?"
I responded defensively to Emmett's comment and let the cat out of the bag, which was probably his intention all along. "She's not some chick-"
"I knew it; Eddie got him a hot piece of ass!" Emmett busted out laughing and Jasper joined in.
"Don't talk about her like that; she's not just a random fuck. And stop calling me Eddie!" I hit Emmett in the arm, which ended up hurting me worse than him.
Jasper stepped between us and tried to diffuse the situation. "You know he doesn't mean it. So what's her name?"
"Bella." I was reluctant to give them information, but I knew it was the only way to make this insanity end.
"Nice, what dorm does she live in, that way Jasper can use his powers for evil and get us a closer look at this chick."
I laughed; at least they wouldn't be able to get to her. "Sorry suckers, she doesn't go to school here, she graduated."
"Sweet, Eddie caught a cougar!" Jasper shot him a look.
"We'll leave you alone, but try not dropping us for her, okay?"
Just then there was a knock on the door and Jasper opened it, revealing Bella, which instantly caused me to smile. "Hey baby, you ready for lunch?"
"Yeah, can I just use your bathroom for a minute?" Bella looked over at my boys and I motioned for her to come in.
"Sure. Guys, this is Bella. Bella, these are my best friends, Emmett and Jasper."
Emmett waved and Jasper tipped an imaginary cowboy hat…fucking herb, and then left. Bella went to the bathroom while I changed my shirt. When she came out she looked kind of beaten down and I instantly got protective. "Bella, what's wrong?"
She sat down on my bed and looked at her hands, which was never a good sign. "Edward…we have to talk."

Ring. Ring. Ring. Why won't my fucking phone—
My phone buzzed on the table and I scooped it up. "Hello?"
"We're here, let us in." Rose was short and sweet as she hung up the phone. Pushing the button to open the door for them, I waited until they arrived at my door.
"You got it?"
"Yes, and Alice is on the phone with your doctor's office." Alice came in and waved as she continued to speak to whoever was on the other end.
Ushering them into the bathroom, I took the brown paper bag from Rosalie and quickly opened the box, handing it back to her as I proceeded to pee on my fourth stick of the day.
Sitting it on the counter, I stared at the pregnancy test while Rosalie rubbed my back and I thought back to how simple things had been just a few days ago.
"Baby…are you sure?" Edward asked, always trying to see that I was comfortable with whatever debauchery we had planned.
"Yes, I'm getting the chance to experience all the things I was too chicken shit to do when I was in college. Plus, I'm doing it with my sex god of a boyfriend, what's not to be okay about?" The sex god comment did it…or maybe it was calling him my boyfriend, which was a new development for us, the whole label thing, but either way he was over questioning it.
Lifting me onto the large table in the center of the room, Edward dropped his pants and slipped on a condom. Lining himself up, her entered me and the passion rolling off of him, combined with the fact that this was a very public study room was enough to—
"Bella." Rosalie jarred me from my daydream as she pointed to the pregnancy test.
I didn't have to look at it, I already knew it was going to confirm what every other test today had, but I just wanted my friends there to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. Sure as shit, the digital screen read as clear as day…Pregnant.
Alice hung up the phone and came to join us by the toilet where we had been holding vigil. "There was a cancellation while I was on the phone, they can see you in 20 minutes."
Running my hands through my hair, I got up and drove over with the two of them following in Rose's car.
Walking into the office with them there felt slightly less ominous, and as I waited for the nurse to call my name, I started to think about what Edward's reaction would be. He was a kid himself, and although he acted mature, I wasn't sure daddy was something he wanted to hear me say, though his nickname for me…'baby', seemed like a cruel joke now.
The waiting was the worst, and I hate needles…and blood, so that's saying something. But finally they called me back to my doctor's office where she was waiting across from me with the results. "Okay, Bella, I can tell you're anxious so I'm not going to beat around the bush…you are indeed pregnant. Like I told you earlier, I have some prenatal vitamins for you and some literature for you to check out. I'd also like you to schedule an appointment for a month from now. Do you have any questions?"
I shook my head, not trusting my voice in that moment.
"Alright, congratulations Bella and I'll see you in a month. If you need anything before then, just call."
I got up and walked back out to Alice and Rose, who were both silent as they walked me to my car. "I better go, I'm supposed to be meeting Edward for lunch, might as well get it over with."
I didn't wait for their words of encouragement as I closed the door and drove towards his dorm.
I pulled up to Edward's building a few minutes late for our lunch date, but I quickly made my way to his room hoping to get there before he called to see where I was.
Knocking on his door, I was startled by the tall blonde who answered the door. Edward introduced me to Jasper and Emmett, who he had talked about briefly in the past few weeks. He ushered me in as he kicked them out. I ducked into the bathroom to relieve myself and try to steel my nerves.
Finally walking back into his room, I noticed that Edward had changed for lunch, but I couldn't make it through the whole meal without telling him.
"Bella, what's wrong?" Edward led me to the bed where I sat down with him, staring intently at my hands.
"Edward...we have to talk." He was silent for a long moment and I realized her was probably waiting for me to elaborate. "God, there's no easy way to tell you this..." Edward sat perfectly still, waiting for me to spit it out. "Edward, I'm pregnant."
His eyes shot up to mine. "Pregnant...how? We used condoms. And you're on the pill, aren't you?"
"No, I'm allergic." We had never discussed birth control, we had just always used condoms…guess they really aren't 100%.
He was fidgeting, running his fingers through his hair while his right knee bounced erratically. "Shit. What are you going to do?"
His question caught me off guard. "Me? Don't you want a say in any of this?"
"Bella, I'm 19 years old-"
"Trust me; I'm well aware of your age!" I yelled, pissed at how detached he was being. "So what, you're 19 so that means you're not responsible? Last time I checked Immaculate Conception wasn't a common way to get knocked up!"
Edward started pacing and the movement was beginning to make me dizzy. "Whatever…nice to know how you really feel." I stood up and flew out the door before he could follow me, not wanting to hear whatever excuse or insult that would come next.
EPOV
Bella was pregnant…fuck! How had this happened? I mean I knew how it happened, but how could this have happened to me. I couldn't be a dad!
I ran down to Jasper's room where he and Emmett were in an intense road rage battle on Burnout 3, ignoring me as I sat on the bed. After Jasper took Emmett's car out, winning the round, Emmett flung the controller and turned to acknowledge me. "I thought you had a date with Bella, what'd she kick you to the curb already?" He snickered and Jasper smacked him upside the head.
"Son, he looks like someone just died, why are you fucking with him? Edward, what's up?"
"Bella's pregnant." It came out as a broken whisper and both of their heads snapped to attention.
"Way to go Eddie!" Emmett hollered and I shot him a death glare.
"What are you going to do?" Jasper seemed to be the only helpful one in the room.
"I don't know…she told me and I flipped and then she got pissed and I got pissed and she stormed out."
"Edward, you have to fix this." Jasper was adamant, but I had no clue how to do it.
"Yeah Ed, you have a limited window before she either decides to get rid of it, or decides she can do this without you and I know you well enough to know that if you have a kid out there in the world and you can't be a part of its life…it'll kill you." Both Jasper and I looked at Emmett as if he were speaking French. "What I can't be insightful, just because I'm not serious all the time doesn't mean I'm a fucking moron!" Emmett tried to fake hurt, but it didn't work and soon we were staring at each other silently until the knock at the door woke us from our fog.
Jasper opened the door to reveal a gorgeous blonde standing in his doorway. She looked like there was no way in hell she'd be here if she really had a choice in the matter, the tapping toe of her high heels the first hint of her annoyance. "Is one of you Edward Cullen?"
My stomach clenched as I raised my hand slightly before her fist connected with my jaw and her face was instantly millimeters away from mine. "All I have to say is you better make this right, and soon, or you stay away and don't you ever come back. Because if you ever make her cry the way she is right now again, I will castrate you and add your set to the growing collection of cocks that formerly belonged to men who hurt my girls. You witnessed Jake in all his fucked up glory, and then led her to believe you were different, so in my book that makes you even worse. You better prove me wrong!"
And just as quickly as she had appeared, Rosalie Hale, who I now recognized from the pictures at Bella's place and her descriptions of Rose's 'take no prisoners' attitude, was gone. I crumbled in on myself, realizing the truth behind her words. Emmett bolted from the room and was back about ten minutes later with a bag of ice. "Thought you could use it." Was all he said as he handed me the bag and then left.
Jasper let me lay on his bed crying for a while before he ordered in some pizza and put in an action flick. I couldn't follow the plot, or even tell you what movie it was, because all I could think about was Bella.
BPOV
I woke up with the intense desire to get sick, running to the bathroom and proceeding to pay homage to the porcelain gods before resting my cheek on the tile floor. Yesterday had happened, Edward had reacted that badly and now I was left alone to raise our child. Our child. Even if I never saw him again, I'm sure my baby would bear some resemblance to him…his crazy bronze hair, his bright green eyes, or maybe his bone structure or the crooked smile that always set my heart on fire. Would I see those features staring back at me, reminding me of what I would never have? My anger at him wouldn't allow me to wallow much beyond that.
I got up to make breakfast, contenting myself with some dry special K red berries and a glass of milk when there was a knock at my door. Annoyed at how easily everyone seemed to get in my building despite the buzzer system, I answered the door and was met by a pimply-faced delivery boy holding a bouquet of lilies and daisies, with a note stuck in the top. "Delivery for Miss Bella Swan."
I took the flowers and tipped the kid to get rid of him as I sat them down and read the card.
Bella,
I was an ass. But I want to make it up to you if you'll let me. I love you.
Edward
I smiled slightly, but noticed that there was no mention of the baby in that apology, so I sat the card back in the bouquet and returned to the couch where I continued to eat my breakfast.
Over the next week, I got little packages like that. Edward sent me flowers and gifts: books on pregnancy, little baby toys and onesies, all with notes of apology and love. And it isn't that I didn't believe him, it was just that I wasn't ready to take him back, because it wasn't just my future I was risking and I knew the pain of having my parents stay together for me and then breaking up when I was old enough to know it was happening, but too young to understand why. Of course Edward didn't know any of this…that is unless Rosalie told him.
That's right, as sly as she thought she was I knew she was sleeping with Edward's friend Emmett. I was suspicious of it before I went to use her phone the other day and saw his name appear more often than mine in her call log. But I didn't say anything, because it meant that she was seeing Edward too, and that had to be why he hadn't given up yet. Because as scared as I was of letting him back in, I was even more petrified that my hesitance would cause me to lose him for good. But that was me, the perpetual chicken shit.
EPOV
The past nine days had been torture. Ever since Bella had told me she was pregnant and I freaked out, I had been trying like mad to get her to talk to me. And I probably would have stopped to give her some space if it hadn't been for Rosalie. I hadn't known it at the time, but when Emmett went to 'get me ice' he had really chased down Rosalie to get her number under the guise of wanting me to be able to call her to run ideas on how to get Bella back by her, but he never gave it to me. Instead I came down to the parlor two days later to see them making out on the decrepit couch in the corner. But that was a good thing, because with it came my first bit of news.
Bella hadn't thrown out the flowers, which was a good thing. But the bad thing was she made a comment about the lack of a reference to the baby in my note. So the flowers I sent over that day included a teddy bear. Every day for the next week I sent her flowers and something that was for the baby or for her that would help with the baby, hoping that my phone would ring…but it never did.
Rose helped, telling me that it was baggage from her parents, not me, but I still couldn't help but feel the rejection. I didn't ignore her though when she told me to keep it up.
Today we were sitting on the couch, enjoying Monster Garage with Rosalie when she once again shocked the shit out of us. "Doesn't that ass know that he's going to short out the engine if he connects it directly to the battery with those wires? He has to use heavy duty cable with that high of an amperage level."
Jasper and I raised an eyebrow at her while Emmett just laughed. "That's my lady."
I couldn't let it go though. Rosalie was a well put together woman and the idea of her having that intimate a knowledge of electrical work or machinery was puzzling. "Rosalie, how in the hell do you know that?"
She smirked and rolled her eyes. "When I was 10 my dad bought the frame to an old hot rod, but he had no sons to build it with, so he brought me into the garage and started showing me what to do. It took us a year, but I loved that damn car. Broke my heart when he sold it."
I shook my head, I don't know why anything about Rosalie surprised me anymore, but it always did. Just then her phone rang and we lowered the volume as she stood up to answer it in a little privacy. "Hey Bella what's…Bella what's wrong?"
I turned and Rosalie was frozen where she stood, looking at me with worried eyes. "How'd you know…okay, here he is."
Rosalie held out the phone for me as I jumped the back of the couch and began speaking as my heart fell into my stomach. "Bella?"
"Edward, I need you! There's something wrong with the baby." I barely stayed standing as my ass hit the couch, steadying me.
"Bella, I'll be right there-"
"No! Alice's driving me, meet us at Seattle General…and hurry!" The pain and fear in her voice was unmistakable and I hung up, terrified that she'd lose the baby before I ever got a chance to truly fall in love with it, the way I had with the idea of it.
"I'll drive, let's go." Rosalie tugged my arm as we all ran to her car, piling in as she sped off to the hospital.
It felt like an eternity before I was running up to the main reception area where a middle-aged woman sat behind the desk. "I'm looking for a patient who was just brought here, her name is Bella Swan."
She looked up at me blankly. "Your name?"
"Edward Cullen."
"I'm sorry, I can only give information out to immediate family-"
I cut her off screaming. "She's pregnant and I'm the baby's father, now tell me where she is!"
"Edward?" Damn it! I turned to see my father's face, shocked with the news that he was going to be a grandpa at 42.
"Dad!" I ran to him and threw my arms around his waist, because I really needed my dad in this moment.
My father walked over to the desk and looked at the woman. "Elaine, please give me the patient information my son requested."
She began typing quickly and then looked up at my father. "They brought her up to the maternity ward, she's in room 332."
My dad led us to the elevators and then to the waiting room where Jasper and Emmett stayed while Rose and I continued on to her room. My father stopped me just before I entered the room. "We will discuss this later." His tone was ominous and I knew that I was in deep shit with him.
Opening the door, Bella was lying on her side with her back to me, wires and tubes attached to her, and the blanket draped over her in a way to make her seem so small and fragile. I walked over and the tiny girl with spiky black hair, who I assumed to be Alice, stepped away from her, giving me access to the chair by her head. "You came." Bella sounded so different, her voice was worn and her eyes were puffy from all the crying she had done recently, crying I had caused.
"Of course I came, you asked me to come. You two needed me, so there's nowhere else I'd rather be."
Bella looked down and my heart broke. The reaction came as soon as I mentioned the baby. "You really want us?"
My heart soared as I realized that it was her reaction to my words and not something that had happened before I got here. "Yes. I've been doing so much to get ready for it. I got some books on being a dad and I stopped drinking, which considering I'm not legal is a good idea anyway, and I got a job-"
"You got a job?" Bella looked at me with an unreadable expression.
"Yeah, he works as a busboy at one of those fish restaurants on the water; I've had to deal with the smell the past two days." Rosalie answered as she stepped closer.
"So…how's your boy toy working out for you?" Bella smirked and I had a feeling this was somehow going back to a conversation they had had about me.
"Great, they're like children sometimes, but the boys can be a lot of fun. And this one has done nothing but think about you since the moment I punched him."
"Wait! Are you trying to tell me that both of you are playing Mrs. Robinson and leaving me out in the cold?" Alice stood there with her hands on her hips and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Well Alice, my friend Jasper is in the waiting room if you want to try him on for size?" I said without thinking and it was only Rosalie and Bella's laughter that let me know I wasn't about to be pleasantly beaten to death.
"She would like him…how about it pixie, you ready to jump on the banana boat?"
I snorted at Bella's comment before the doctor came in, silencing us all. She walked to the side of Bella's bed and we all waited patiently for her to speak. "Bella, I have your lab results, would you like to speak in private?"
Bella shook her head. "No, these are my two best friends, and this is Edward, the baby's father." I was filled with such pride at that simple admission as the doctor nodded.
"Okay, first I'll be performing another ultrasound in a minute, but everything with the baby appears fine. The bleeding was minimal and normal for this early in your pregnancy. You're about 5 ½ weeks along and everything is progressing nicely. And as for the pain you were experiencing, I hate to tell you this, but you have kidney stones."
"You're kidding me, right?" Bella looked like she was about to scream. "Like I don't already spend enough time in the bathroom, now I'm going to be glued to the toilet with all the water I'll be drinking!"
I failed to suppress a laugh, and was rewarded by a pair of matching swats to the head. "Sorry love, but that rant was so adorable. I take it you've had kidney stones before?"
She nodded and then the tech came in with the large machine. Alice and Rosalie kissed Bella quickly and then left to give us some privacy. The tech followed, leaving the three of us alone. Bella's doctor turned on the machine and then began pushing buttons as Bella rolled onto her back. Pulling down the blanket and lifting up the hospital gown enough to reveal only her stomach, the doctor took a tube from the side of the machine and began to shake it. "This may be a little cold."
Squirting it onto Bella's belly, she took the wand and began moving it around until finally we saw it. There wasn't much of anything to see, but she pointed to the tiny change in color that was our baby. I was overcome with every possible emotion as I watched the flicker of the screen. "Why can't we hear a heartbeat?"
"It's too early for that, but we ran several tests and the baby is doing fine." She reassured me as she turned off the machine and then cleaned Bella up before helping her cover back up. "Now Bella, we're going to want you to stay until the stones pass. We'll be keeping you on fluids and giving you something for the pain until you're ready to leave, you may want someone to bring you some clothes. I'll give you two some time and I'll check back with you later."
Bella was so quiet, just laying there with her right hand sitting on her stomach as I picked up her left. "That's our baby, baby." Bella turned to me as her tears fell silently. "Bella, what is it, are the meds wearing off?"
She shook her head. "No, they can only give me so much because I'm pregnant, so it wouldn't matter if it was the case. I'm crying because I never thought I'd hear you call me 'baby' again, or that I'd spend the rest of my life knowing that it was my fault he never know you."
I wiped away her tears as I began to cry some of my own. "He?" I had felt the connection to the baby the minute I had seen it, but having her refer to it like that, like she knew we were having a boy, it caused everything I'd been holding in to come out.
"I always pictured a little boy who was the spitting image of his father, that way it'd be like you hadn't really gone."
I clutched her hand in mine as I kissed the back of it. "I'm not going anywhere. I had my flip out, but it's over now, I'm here."
Bella sighed and closed her eyes. "I wish you didn't have to leave."
With that comment I got an idea. "Bella, do you trust me?"
She looked at me perplexed but nodded. "Yes."
"I'll be right back." I stood up and kissed her forehead before running out of the room. I looked both ways and saw the nurse's station just down past the turn. Walking over to the nurse behind the desk, I smiled and asked to use the phone. I dialed my dad's number, hoping he was still here.
"This is Dr. Cullen."
"Dad, are you busy with any patients right now?"
"No." Good, I wanted him to have this conversation before he got to my mom.
"Could you come up to maternity, there's someone I'd like you to meet."
"Alright Edward, I'll meet you outside of her room in a few minutes." I hung up and walked back to the waiting room where everyone was waiting.
"Hey guys, they're both fine, but Bella has to stay a few days and I'm going to work on getting permission to stay overnight, so could you guys get us some clothes and get Bella something that'll make the room seem a little more homey."
Rosalie smiled as she placed her hand on my shoulder. "Sure Edward, you take care of our girl." Alice looked over at Rose and me with a shocked expression before she followed Rose out with the guys in tow. I continued to the room and found my dad walking out of the stairwell as I got there.
"Dad, before you start, can I just talk to you for a minute." My dad nodded and I continued. "Bella and I haven't been dating long and no, this wasn't planned, but she's special and I love her and this baby and we're going to find a way to make this work."
"What about school? Are you dropping out to take care of them?" My father crossed his arms and reached up to pinch the bridge of his nose.
"No, I'm going to finish school. I have a year and a half left and I may have to take a lighter course load and take summer classes to finish in the same time, but I'll find a way to make it work. Bella's got a good job, and I just got a part time job, so I'll be contributing too. I know you're disappointed, but I'm not turning my back on them. So I'd really like it if you'd find a way to be okay with this."
He sighed and pulled me into a hug. "How is she?"
"She's fine. It was a scare, she was in a lot of pain and was bleeding a little but it ended up being kidney stones so she'll have to stay a few nights…"
"And you want me to pull strings so you can stay with her." I looked up at him, how in the hell did he do that.
"Could you?"
"Hold on." My dad flagged down one of the nurses and asked if they could set up a cot in the room for me and they said they'd check with Bella's doctor, but they didn't see a problem. Just then her doctor walked up and stopped short at my father.
"Carlisle?"
"Carmen, are you Bella's doctor?" My father smiled at her and she nodded.
"Yes, this isn't your Edward, is it?"
"Yes it is. Would you mind if he stayed on a cot in Bella's room?"
She shook her head. "Not at all, I think it'll be good for her to have him there. You can tell how loving he is towards her and her whole mood changed after he got here."
"Thank you." Doctor…Carmen continued down the hall as I turned to my dad.
"Thanks for that, now would you like to meet Bella?" I grabbed the back of my neck and rubbed the muscles where my head meets my spine.
"Sure son." He answered sincerely.
Opening the door, I saw that Bella was looking out the window until she heard us enter and then she tried to straighten up in the bed before she winced, causing me to rush to her side. "Baby, are you alright?"
She patted my hand where it sat by her side. "Fine, just moved the wrong way. Who's that?"
I looked up as my father came over to the foot of her bed. "Bells, this is my dad, Dr. Carlisle Cullen. He's the one who got me your room information when they wouldn't tell me where to find you."
Bella smiled and then looked at me with a worried expression. "So he knows?"
"Yes and congratulations." My father was completely genuine, no matter how disappointed he was in me; he would never be rude to my friends.
"I'm sure this was a shock to you, I know it was to us. But I'm in love with your son and we plan on raising this baby together. I have a good job and I'm not going to let Edward drop out of school, he's still going to be everything he wanted to be before I came into his live and complicated it."
My father came closer and rested a hand on hers. "Bella you're right, this is a shock, and Edward will have to tell his mother on his own, but I'm very happy for you two. Edward told me most of the things you did and I appreciate that you love each other and want the best for the other. All I ask is that you think long and hard before making any long-term decisions. I'm not trying to talk you out of anything, but don't jump into something because you believe you have to."
"Trust me, I know not to do anything like that…I've had some crappy boyfriends, but your son is something special."
I brushed the hair out of her eyes. "Nuh-uh, I'm the one that lucked out."
My dad smiled again before heading back out. "You two have a good night, and Edward, talk to your mother soon, I hate keeping things from her."
"Sure thing dad." As soon as he left Bella reached for my hand and squeezed it.
"Is your mom really going to freak out?" She looked genuinely worried.
"She'll go on about making her a grandma before her time, but in the end she'll be super supportive. What about your parents?"
"Let's hold off on them…we're not exactly a big happy family right now. I'll tell you about the Swan-Dwyer family dysfunction another time, but right now I'm exhausted."
"Sure love, you get some rest, I'll be right here when you wake up." As Bella closed her eyes I watched with a smile on my face, content that everything had turned out okay and Bella was back in my life.
So there you have it…Bella's prego! Did you see that coming or did I surprise you? All the stuff with Bella's scare is accurate, I tried to find a condition that would mimic a miscarriage without endangering the baby and when I saw that on the pregnancy page I laughed because that's so Bella's luck!
Before you ask…this isn't going to turn into an episode of Maury with the boys waiting months because she had been with both of them at the time of conception. In the American method of counting how far along a pregnant woman is, they start at the end of her last period, meaning conception happens 2 weeks into the pregnancy. Meaning Edward knocked her up very early in the relationship, but Jake was completely out of the picture at that point. I just wanted to clarify that because I got that question a lot on the other site.
