Here We Go Again

Chapter four:

'Truth'

Brooklyn, NYC,

Riley.

I slowly turned to look at Jacob, "You have no right to talk to me after what you tried to do to me before I was even born!" I growled and launched my fist towards his face.

"I'm sorry" I heard him whisper against the pavement.

After shaking my hand once I picked up Nessie again and wrapped my arm around Charlotte, she hid behind my back. My hand was throbbing, but it was worth seeing that mongrel in pain.

I took one last look at Jacob Black and then turned around and started walking away. Nessie and Charlotte both had their arms wrapped around me, and both of them had terrified expressions on their faces.

"Wait!" I heard a muffled voice call behind me.

Was this guy seriously asking for it?

"Take Nessie to that park bench over there," I whispered in Charlotte's ear; pointing to the furthest bench.

She looked up at me; horrified, "What are you doing?"

"I'm going to talk with him" I said and let go off both of them.

I turned to face Jacob, again. "What do you want now?"

He ran his fingers through his hair, "Look, I know we didn't really get off on the right foot, but there are some things I would like to discuss with you, things I'm not proud of, but I need to explain everything to you, you deserve to know-"

"Oh I know everything," I interrupted him.

He raised his eyebrows, "what do you know?"

"That you hurt my mother to the point where she went to the hospital, and then when she finally dumped your sorry ass and met my father, you got jealous, and as far as I'm concerned you were so jealous that when my mother was pregnant with me, that you tried to kill me. Now have I got everything right?" I glared at him.

"You haven't heard my side of the story, you don't know…"

"Oh, I know enough" I spat at him, and turned around once again.

"Wait!" he called again, and I felt his hand on my shoulder.

I shook it off.

He raised his hands in defense, "Can I just meet you tonight, so I can explain everything, please?"

I raised my eyebrows, this could be interesting...

"Fine" I muttered.

"Alright, meet me at seven, at the restaurant I saw you last night in?"

"Fine" I repeated and turned away from him, this time he didn't follow.

***

"Well I'll call you tomorrow," I said and hugged Charlotte, again, she still had a terrified expression on her face, the one she had after seeing me punch Jacob in the face.

"Alright" she mumbled, looking away from me.

I placed my hand under her chin and lifted her face so she would look at me. A few seconds later she finally looked me in the eyes.

I leaned forward cautiously, she closed her eyes and puckered her lips slightly, so I took that as if she wanted to kiss me aswell. I closed the space between us and connected my lips with hers.

This kiss was very short and hesitant, nothing like last night's kiss. I was about to deepen it…

"Yuck!" Nessie groaned.

Charlotte immediately pulled away and rested her forehead against mine, "I guess I'll talk to you later" she whispered.

I sighed and inwardly groaned, why had I brought Nessie with me? But I remembered the answer, so I could see Charlotte today. I pulled back so I could look in her eyes and giving her a small smile, I nodded.

She waved goodbye to Nessie then turned to walk inside. I started walking back down her front path before…

"Riley!" Charlotte called out.

I turned and looked at her questioningly.

"Please don't do anything stupid," she said before walking inside and closing her front door.

I stood there for a few moments, just staring at the door. What did Charlotte mean?

I heard Renesmee groan and then she tugged at my arm, "Come ob Riley! Sponge Bob is on soooon!" she wined.

"Alright, alright" I muttered, holding her hand.

After about ten minutes of walking in silence, I finally spoke.

"Nessie, you cannot tell mum or dad about meeting Jacob today" I informed her.

"Why?" she looked at me confused.

"Because it will make them get upset, and you don't want that, do you?" I asked raising my eyebrows.

Her brows pulled together, "no."

"Then don't say anything, and then everyone will be happy," I forced a grin on my face.

She smiled back, "okay. I won't say anything"

Brooklyn, NYC,

Edward.

I put my keys and bag on the kitchen bench and opened the fridge, I was staring. It had been a long day at the hospital, there had been four car accidents, so ER was packed.

I grabbed the left over lasagna and put it into the microwave.

"Edward?" I heard Bella call out from the living room, "is that you?"

"Yes" I yelled back.

"You're early" she mused; I looked up to find her leaning on the kitchen door.

I looked down at my watch, Six-thirty.

I looked up at her again, she was only a meter away now, "I'm right on time," I answered.

She wrapped her arms around my neck and I placed mine on her hips, "Hey" she whispered, her lips only a few inches away from mine.

I smiled, "Hi," I mused and leaned down so our lips could touch.

Bella must've been in a good mood because she rarely greeted me like this, these were my favorite days.

She pulled away and rested her head on my shoulder; I kissed her down her neck, still holding her in my arms. Enjoying the moment of total peace.

Beep…beep…beep..

I groaned; bloody microwave ruined the moment!

I unwilling let go of her to retrieve my dinner, but Bella pulled me back to her, "I wasn't finished," she muttered.

I chuckled, "Sorry, Mrs. Cullen"

"You should be, Mr. Cullen" she grumbled and kissed up my neck.

I kissed her lips once more than pulled away, "The food's going to get cold" I said, and this time she didn't protest.

I grabbed a fork and the bowl out of the microwave, immediately shoving a mouthful of lasagna into my mouth.

"Well I've got to send a few emails, can you watch Nessie for a few minutes?" she asked.

I rolled my eyes, "Of coarse I can."

She smiled and left the room.

I could hear SpongeBob-square-pants blaring form the living room, so I headed there, still eating my dinner.

I found Nessie on the floor with all her coloring pencils spread across the floor and her big color-in book in front of her.

I sat beside her, quickly turning down the volume.

"Hey Daddy," she smiled.

I kissed her forehead, "Hey sweetheart"

She lifted her book, "like my bicture?" she asked

It was a picture of four people walking in a park, "it's beautiful," I complemented automatically.

"This is Riley, Charlotte anb me" she smiled; pointing to each figure.

I frowned, there were four figures, "who's this," I said pointing to the tall brown man.

She looked away from me, "just sobeone I met today" she muttered.

I raised my eyebrows, "and what was his name?" I asked.

She hesitated then looked away, trying to ignore me.

"Nessie, who did you meet?" I asked, my mind coming up with thousands of faces.

She picked up her rubber and rubbed out the dark skinned man, "no one" she whispered.

I ran my fingers through my hair, "Renesmee Carlie Cullen, tell me right now or there will be consequences!" I demanded.

She looked up at me, wanting to say something, but she pressed her lips in a hard line.

"Do you want me to take away-"

"I'm a Barbie girl…in a party world…"

I sighed at my new ringtone and Renesmee giggle, I picked up my phone. "Hello?" I answered.

"Hey bro!" Emmett yelled.

I held the phone a little bit further away from my ear, this couldn't have happened at a more inappropriate time, "what do you want?" I grumbled.

"Wow, easy tiger, I was just wondering if I could come hang out with my god daughter"

I rolled my eyes, "your date cancelled, didn't she?" I ask in an expressionless tone.

"Pttf…." He paused, "well yes. I'll be over in less then five," he informed me.

I groaned, "Fine, ill see you soon" I said and hung up.

"So who was it?" I asked turning around to face Nessie, but she wasn't there, "well isn't that just great," I mumbled to myself.

"Easy on the sarcasm," I heard Riley say.

I turned around to face him; he was dressed a little more fancy than his usual home attire. "Where are you going?" I asked.

He hesitated for a moment, "err…just meeting up some mates," he said casually.

I wasn't buying his poor attempt at acting, "Hmmm… so not Charlotte of coarse?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

He rolled his eyes, "No…I'm not meeting up with Charlotte."

I crossed my arms, "Oh okay, so who then?"

"I donno, some guys from school, like Mike and Tyler." He grumbled.

I sighed; he was growing up, "Alright, well do you need some money?" I asked.

He shock his head, "Nah, I've saved some from baby sitting Nessie, I'm good"

"Alright, we'll it's a Saturday night…so try be home by ten"

He smiled, "I'll probably be home soon, the boys just need to tell me something, then I'll probably just come straight home" he told me.

"Well…alright, I'll see you soon" I said, "any chance you've see Nessie around?"

"Um…no, why?" he asked.

It suddenly came to me, "you were with her…" I pick up her drawing, "do you remember seeing some guy with Nessie,"

His eyes widened for a fraction of a second then he laughed, "oh it's just the balloon guy, he gave Nessie a free balloon, she must have like him," he muttered.

I paused, and then laughed. My wild accusations seemed silly now, "well that's…okay then"

He put his hands in his pockets, "yeah…well I'm gonna go, bye dad" he said and headed for the front door.

"Have fun at Charlotte's!" I called out to him.

"Why don't you ever believe me!" I heard him mutter and then the front door slammed shut.

Brooklyn, NYC,

Riley.

What the hell was I doing here? This was just stupid, I didn't really care what he wanted to say…well no, that was a lie. Obviously the reason I'm here is because I want to know the information he has about my mother. I was only here for her sake, not mine.

Buzz…..buzz…

I looked down at my phone; it was a text from Charlotte:

Please tell me your not actually meeting up with him!

I rolled my eyes at her concern, I only told her I was meeting up with Jacob because she over heard it and was worried.

Char, stop worrying. I can take care of myself, and plus I'm meeting him in the restaurant that we went to the other night, so there will be lots of witnesses. I'll be fine, stop worrying; I'll call you after xx

I turned off my phone; I didn't want to be bothered. All I wanted was to get this over and done with; get the info I needed and leave.

I took a deep breath and walked into the restaurant, "Hi, how can I help you?" the young lady at the front desk asked.

This took me off guard, did he book? "Um…reservation for Black?"

She looked down at the book, "Right this way," she said pointing to the lot of tables near the right.

She lead me to a small table for two right down the back of the restaurant, Jacob was looking at his menu, did this mean he planned on eating with me? There was no way I was eating with that mongrel.

I sat down opposite to him, "Alright, let's get this over with, what do you want to tell me?"

Brooklyn, NYC,

Edward.

"Daddy, can you reab me a bed time story," Renesmee asked in a sweet voice.

"Not tonight, sweetie," I whispered and kissed her forehead.

"Well can you stay with me?" she asked, looking up at me through thick eyelashes.

"Of coarse," I smiled and sat in the chair next to her bed. "So I heard you got a free balloon today, what color was it?" I asked, trying to make conversation.

Her eyebrows pulled together, "I didn't get a bree balloon today" she said, confused.

"Riley told me that you got a free balloon today from a very nice man, the man who was in the picture…?"

"Oh, no. The man in da picture was a nice man nameb Jacob Black" she said then covered her mouth with her hands.

"Did you just say, Jacob Black?" I asked through my teeth.

She shook her head.

"Yes you did" I glared at her.

Jacob Black had been so close to my baby girl that he had spoken to her, and she thought he was a nice man.

My hands balled up into fists, "Daddy what wrong?" Nessie asked.

"Lie down Renesmee, I'll go get mummy," I said as I shook my head at her and walked out of her room, "Emmett, get your car keys, were going out!" I called.

Brooklyn, NYC,

Riley.

He looked up at me; confused. He closed his eyes for a moment, a small smile at the corner of his lips.

After a short moment he opened his eyes, "I met your mother eighteen years ago…" he began, "the first moment I meet her I was in love with her" he smiled.

My hands turned into fists, "Then why did you hurt her?" I growled.

My question seemed to have surprised him, like he was convincing himself that he was the good guy, but my question had evaporated his perfect vision.

"Look, I know what you did to my mother, and she seems to be happy at the moment, so why are you here? Are you jealous of the fact that she has a better life without you? That she has a family and you don't? That she could recover from your abuse?" I glared at him.

He winced at my choice of words and shook his head and stared at me blankly.

I knew coming here was a stupid idea… I wasn't going to get anything out of this asshole…maybe aunty Alice will tell me more…

After a few moments, he still hadn't moved. I rolled my eyes and got up. This was pointless; maybe I could meet up with Charlotte for a couple of hours before curfew.

He looked up, "I know what I did was horrible and terrible…and the worst thing you could possibly do to another human being, but I did love your mother, I just guess I loved her too much…" he trailed off.

I stood there waiting for him to continue.

He cleared his throat, "I'm not here to say this,…" he mumbled.

"Then what are you trying to say?" I asked, sitting back down.

"About seventeen years ago, your mother came to me and told me that she was pregnant…" he started.

I looked at him; bewildered. I don't even think I wanted him to continue, but I was frozen in my seat.

"This was after she had left me and she was with… Edward," he seemed to struggle to say my father's name.

"Where are you getting at? Why would my mother tell you she was pregnant, when she was with my father,' he flinched when I said it but I continued, "I don't think she would have stayed friends with you…" I mumbled, confused. "What did she say?" I asked.

He hesitated for a moment then looked up at me, "She told me that I was the father," he said, and everything around me turned black.

Author's note:

Hey guys, I reckon that would have to be the best cliffy that I have left you guys with. You must love me right now :)

PLEASE tell me what you thought! And what you think Riley's reaction will be.
