-The Reason-

Edward's POV-

I walked into the house. I have never been more nervous about losing Bella than I am right now. I hung up my keys and slowly made my way upstairs to talk to Bella. I hope she's not too mad about this. I opened the door to see a suitcase packed and ready to go. I felt my heart begin to break. Bella walked out of the bathroom.

"Bella?" I said in a weak voice. "Can we please talk about this before you leave?" I asked hoping she would agree. When she didn't answer me I began to feel worse about this situation.

"Bella, please talk to me." I didn't like this silence between us.

"What do you want me to say Edward? That I understand and I would have done the same thing." She hissed at me.

"No, can I at least tell you my reason for not telling you?"

"Edward, it doesn't matter. You should have told me. I can understand not telling me when we were dating, but you should have told me after we were married. I know what you going to say. You're going to say that you didn't tell me because you were afraid that I would have only loved you for your money. That excuse would be acceptable if we were dating, but we have been married for five years. Isn't obvious that I love you for who you are?"

"If that's the case then why are you so upset about it?"

"It's the fact that you felt the need to keep it from me. I have to leave for a few days. I'll be at Charlie's."

"Bella the reason I didn't tell you is because I didn't want to live off of my parents. I swear that's the only reason why I didn't tell you."

"It seems there is more to it than that. I think you thought that if I knew we had the money and ran out that I would leave you. Is this another part of it?"

I knew she had realized I wasn't telling her everything before she even responded.

"Yes." I whispered.

"Well I'm not like that. I will never leave you over a stupid money situation. I love you for richer or poorer."

"You are leaving me for a money situation." I said. I regretted it the moment it left my mouth.

"No, I am leaving because you kept this from me. I could care less about the money. I guess what really made me mad was that I heard about this from your sister and not you."

"So are you leaving me as in getting a divorce?" I asked and hoped her answer would be no. I felt my heart start to break even more. I don't think I could live without her.

"No, I don't want to divorce you. But I do want a few days away from you. I will be back Monday."

She walked over to me, kissed my cheek, told me she loved me, and walked out to her car and left.

What did I do? I should have listened to Alice and Emmett about this.

Bella's POV-

I pulled into Charlie's and noticed that he wasn't home. Good I'll be alone for a while. I went up to my old room and lay down on the bed.

How could Edward think that I wouldn't find out about it? I felt my eyelids getting heavy and gave up on staying awake. The next thing I remember is Charlie coming home and yelling my name.

"Bella?" Charlie said.

"Yeah it's me dad."

"Is everything okay with you and Edward?" He asked concerned. "He didn't hit you did he? Cause if he did I will kill him!"

"No dad he didn't hit me."

"Then what's wrong?"

"He kept a secret from me and to make matters worse, I didn't find out from him what it was. I found out from his sister."

"What was the secret?" Charlie asked.

"Let's just say we don't have to live off of his paycheck. His parents have made a bank account for all of their children. Edward hasn't used any money from his, so the total is over two million dollars."

I watched Charlie's eyes grow wide. Then I thought about how I shouldn't have told him without Edward's approval. I started to feel bad.

"I agree he shouldn't have kept that secret from you, but I don't know why you felt the need to leave him. Unless you're not going back to him…" He didn't complete his sentence.

"No, I'm not leaving him as in filing for a divorce. I just need some time away from him. I'll be going back Monday."

I got up and mad Charlie dinner like old times. I made steak, salad, and corn. We sat and ate in silence.

"Bella, go back to him. This is absurd, if you want time to think stay in the guest room. There was no reason for you to come here."

I knew he was right I overacted. It's not that big of a deal, it could be worse. I went over to do dishes, but Charlie stopped me.

"Bella, I can do them. Get home and work things out. That is what happened between your mother and I."

"What?" I asked confused.

"We didn't talk through our problems. We didn't even make an effort in fixing them. I don't want to see the same thing happening to you and Edward. Now go and make up."

I hugged him, ran upstairs, grabbed my suitcase, and left. I pulled into the driveway. Edward's car was here, but all the lights were off in the house. I walked in not bothering to get my suitcase.

I hung up my keys and headed upstairs to our room. I opened the door to reveal my sleeping husband. I went to go into the bathroom and change into my pajamas, when he started talking.

"Is that you Bella?" He asked.

"Yes Edward."

He ran over to me.

"I'm so sorry Bella. I…"

"Edward, don't say anymore. I'm the one that overreacted. I should have stayed and talked to you. There was no reason for me to leave. I'm sorry about everything."

"So am I. I will make sure to tell you everything. No more secrets. Does this mean I am forgiven?" He asked.

"Yes, you are forgiven."

"I love you Isabella."

"I love you too Edward."

I changed into my pajamas and went to bed. He held me all through the night.
