He was about to open it when the door opened. "Carl! Your school phoned what's wrong?" Charlie's voice called. Edward shoved the envelope in his pocket and ran to the kitchen in his normal human pace.
"What are doing here Cullen?" Charlie growled.
Edward said nothing just gave him Carly's birth certificate. "You're her dad?" Charlie whispered. Edward only nodded. "Well I can't say I'm surprised."
"I must be going home now. Do you mind if I take the birth certificate with me?" Edward asked finally releasing the air he held in.
"Go ahead. But bring it back!" Charlie grumbled walking to the living room. And with that Edward left.
He took the envelope out of his pocket and started to open it slowly. He found a letter inside. Which he unfolded swiftly and surly enough in that messy handwriting that he always loved it read:
Edward Dearest, I know I did things that were wrong and that may hurt you, but you must understand. I am pregnant. And No offence but I don't want to raise a baby in your world. You were right it is not for me. I love you Edward but things must change. I promise that I will return with our child when they are eighteen, weather you love me or not is entirely up to you and only you. I hope with all my heart that you will find this letter. I will leave it somewhere you may look someday. And Edward I have one last thing to ask of you. If I should die, and my baby went to Charlie could you keep her safe from your world. Not let their near Jacob and be as cautious as possible. I love you really do.
Love you Always
Bella
Edward stared at the letter in shock. She wanted him to leave her alone. Him and Jacob. Edward quickly got in his Volvo and drove to La push. He slammed on Jacob's door till it opened.
"What!" A very tired looking werewolf hollered at him.
"Read this" Edward said pushing the birth certificate and the letter into Jacob's hand. "It's her last request." Jacob read over the birth certificate gasping and then the letter gasping and scowling again.
"She wants me to stay away from her?" Jacob said quickly.
"Yes and I'm her father." Edward pointed out his bold name on the birth certificate.
"Yes, yes I know, but she doesn't want me near Carly."
"I'm leaving."
"What?"
"I'm leaving Forks. I'm listing to Bella and leaving Forks."
"Well take these." Jacob said pushing the paper back in his hands.
"You're staying aren't you?"
"What else am I going to do?"
"Maybe listen to Bella and leave her alone."
"I can't!"
"It was the last thing Bella asked us to do!" Edward growled.
"And it's the last thing I can do."
Edward just shook his head and then got back into his Volvo and drove home. He put the letter and the birth certificate on the top of his piano and left again driving south.
"Good bye my daughter." He said as he left the town of Forks.

When Carly woke up she found that her father had left. She gets up and goes downstairs to find Charlie in the living room with Jacob. Charlie looked mad and Jacob looked upset.
"Hi Jake." She greeted half-heartedly and then went into the kitchen Jacob on her heel.
She leaned in for a kiss but he backed up. "What?" she asked with a confused expression.
"We can't….we can't be together Carly." He said quietly. He was looking at his feet and rubbing his arm roughly.
"Wh-what? Why?" Carly whined.
"For one thing I'm your mom's ex-boyfriend, and second I'm 33."
"Stuck in a sixteen year old's body!" Carly exclaimed. "And what happened to the whole imprinted thing?"
"You always be my imprint. But I have to bear not being around you."
"Why?" Carly demanded.
"I don't have to tell you anything!" He said storming out of the house.
Carly started to cry and sat in the living room hugging a pillow to her chest. After a few moments she looked at Charlie who was staring at a blank television screen. "Grandpa what are you doing?" She asked with a tearful voice.
"Edward's gone." Carly gasped.
"Not him too!"
"Carlisle said it was Bella's last request. That he kept his and Jacob's world away from yours." Charlie continued in an unchanging voice.
"My mom?" Carly asked confused.
"Yeah."
"That's why Jacob broke up with me." Carly whispered low enough so Charlie's human ears could not hear.
"So honey how do you feel?" Charlie asked.
"I think I need to talk to the Cullen's."
