I sat on the couch. Panicking. I had spent the entire day with the Cullens. Jacob was only expecting me to be out for a little while and come back home. But now it was 11:30. He would be so pissed off at me. Edward came by and sat on the couch and took my hand. I felt a bit better instantly.

"Bella, what's wrong?"

"Jacob is probably mad at me."

"So? Who cares?"

"I do. He's still my best friend even after all of this."

Edward kissed my forehead and picked up Rosette from the chair she was napping on. It shocked me how close they had gotten. He played the piano for her and she instantly fell asleep. I was glad they were getting along. He kissed her forehead and looked at me.

"Well, let's get you home to the mutt."

"Uh, actually Edward?"

He cocked his head to the side.

"Do you mind if I and Rosette stay the night here? I'm going to talk with Jacob and I really don't wanna be in the same building with him after I tell him I'm taking away his daughter."

Edward smiled at me and looked at the sleeping bundle in his arms. We walked out to the Volvo and strapped in for the ride.


We arrived at the apartment much sooner then I wanted. I felt sick to my core. It was going to be so hard that I was taking away his daughter. It would crush him. I swallowed the lump in my throat and searched though my purse for my keys. Edward took my hands and looked at me.

"Do you want me to go in with you?"

"Yeah, sure."

Edward kissed my lips and then opened the door for me. We walked up the steps and I unlocked the door. Jacob was sitting up and looked over to me and Edward. He growled when he saw Edward holding Rosette.

"So Bella, why did you bring the trash in?"

Edward hissed at him.

"Nice to see you too, mutt."

"Bloodsucker."

"Jacob I need to talk to you."

He looked over at me and got up and walked to the table. I sat down and Edward followed, still holding Rosette.

"What's up Bells?"

"Jacob, I'm leaving."

He shot his head up and glared at me.

"What did you say?"

"I said I'm leaving. And I'm taking Rosette with me."

Jacob was furious now. He stood up and was about to charge at Edward. I stopped him.

"Look what you've done Cullen! You come back into her life and tear everything away from me! I hope you die. No, wait, I hope Bella leaves you!"

That last statement made me and Edward cringe. He was obviously pissed off and I tried to calm him down.

"Jacob, you knew if I ever found Edward again I would go back to him!"

"Who cares?! He's breaking up our family!"

"Jacob we were never a family!"

That was a hit below the belt. It made him take a step back. I couldn't believe what I said to him. I always had called us a family. Sure, we didn't have the same qualities as one, but we still were one. I could feel the tears welling inside of my eyes as I spoke to him.

"Jacob, I want to be with Edward. I love him. Don't get me wrong Jacob, I love you too but still, I need Edward. And I need Rosette. I need the Cullens. You don't know how painful this is for me. But I'm leaving Jacob and there's nothing you can do about it."

I saw a tear roll down his cheek.

"Bella, you're killing me here. You're stealing my daughter and running off to be with a bloodsucker."

"Jacob… I'm sorry."

"No Bella, you can't apologize for this. Just go."

My tears had finally spilled over. He was kicking me out of the house now. Edward walked over and held me close to his chest. He glanced up to Jacob.

"You never deserved her."

"Oh and like you did?"

"I know I don't deserve Bella. I don't deserve her kindness, he love, her gentleness. I am a monster for what I did to her. But I will raise Rosette like she was my own and I will marry Bella and we will be a family."

I gasped. He wanted to marry me. I was so overjoyed. He loved me and he loved Rosette. My heart felt like it was going to explode. I clutched him even closer to me. He kissed the top of my head and looked back at Jacob.

"We'll let you see Rosette whenever you want. We aren't total monsters. She is still your daughter. I can never replace you from her life."

Rosette was still in Edward's arms. She fluttered her eyes open and looked at Edward.

"Dada?"

The entire room went silent. She just called Edward Dada. I was so happy. It seemed to me that she had accepted him. I smiled and Edward looked at me. We kissed for a small moment. It was a proud moment, but Jacob was devastated. He looked at me and Edward.

"Well, it looks like she already has replaced me."

"Jacob…"

I walked closer but he put his hand up, signaling for me to stop.

"Bella, please. Just go. Pack a bag for the night. I'll help move your stuff tomorrow."

I nodded and quickly got an overnight bag ready for me and Rosette. I ran back out to the living room and grabbed Edward's hand. We ran outside and dashed into the Volvo. As soon as I sat down, the sadness overwhelmed me. I leaned onto Edward and held onto him for dear life. He began to drive the car and we were at the house in record time. He put my face in his hands.

"Bella, please don't be sad. It pains me to see you like this."

I calmed down a little bit. I looked up into Edward's eyes and kissed him. I needed him, now more than ever. He smiled and pulled away and was opening my door in an instant. He lifted me and Rosette from the car and carried us and our bag to the house. I was in for a long night.
