Because I have gotten such amazing reviews, I thought I would give you this chapter. I wanted you all to know who the douche bag is! Enjoy!


"You are going to lunch tomorrow?" Jess asks me as I shrug. "I'll call and let you know where we're going." Emily looks around the corner and whispers that they are headed for us.

"Have no fear, Nessie is here!" Nessie sings. She looks just like a girl version of Edward, but with piercings in her face. It's so weird.

"Hey, Neenee," Jess says.

"Who's that?" Nessie asks, pointing to me.

"Bella?" Nessie's boyfriend says as I start to shake.

"Ohmygod," I say, standing quickly.

"You know her?" Nessie asks.

"Yeah, years ago," Jake says as if I was no one to him.

"Mom-me," Liam sings as he runs into the room. I watch as Jacob's face pales.

"Shit," he curses, staring at the two of us.

"Baby, he's getting so good with standing," Edward says with a laugh as he walks into the living room.

"When did you start laughing?" Nessie asks Edward. This is all too much.

"I have to go," I say loudly. I don't mean to yell, but I'm freaking out.

"What? Why?" Esme asks, walking into the room.

"I feel sick. Babe, can we go? Please?" I beg.

"No, stay. Dinner is all done. We have pasta," Esme says.

"Ronies! Ronies!" Liam yells, jumping up and down.

"Is this your girlfriend?" Nessie asks Edward.

"Yes; Isabella, this is my youngest sister, Nessie."

"Isabella?" Jake asks with a laugh. "Last time I heard someone call you that, you broke their nose."

"No, you do not get to talk me to, Jacob Black!" I hiss, feeling tears spring to my eyes.

"Bella, don't you dare start this crap here," Jacob says to me.

"Wait…Jake?" Edward asks.

"Yes, can we please leave?" I ask again as my tears spill over. Edward looks at Jacob and glares. I think Edward is going to kill him. I crouch down and start to put on Liam's coat.

"What's the big deal?" Nessie asks as Edward snaps.

"This guy," Edward seethes, pointing at Jake, "is a piece of shit and you would be smart to run far away."

"Dude, you don't even know me," Jacob says as Edward walks back to us.

"You're right, but…" Edward says picking up Liam, "ya know what? You're not worth it. Stay away from us," he grits as he takes my hand in his. "Mom, I'm sorry, but we won't be back if he is here." With that, Edward pulls on me and we head out the door. I keep my head down so no one can see me crying.

"Bye-bye," Liam says to Jake as we head out the door.

"That baby has your smile, Babe," Nessie says with awe. I think I'm going to be sick.

"I'm sorry…I had no idea," Edward says as we reach his car. "I would have never asked you to come if I knew. I swear."

"I'm sorry…I didn't mean to ruin your night. I can find another way home."

"No. There is no way I would ever sit at the same dinner table as him," Edward says as he buckles Liam in. "It will be okay."

"I haven't seen him since I told him. He called me a whore and told me he knew I was sleeping with his buddy at the same time…I never did, I swear," I say as I start to cry harder.

"There is no way he can deny that little boy. I believe you, it's okay." Edward wraps his arms around me and pulls me into a hug. He's making me feel better, and I know I need to end this…us…before I get hurt.

Edward takes us out to dinner, but I don't feel like eating. Liam eats like a little piglet. He and Edward share their food. It's weird because we were acting like a family, and I know that all of this has to end. Liam will be crushed, but it will be better if it happens now rather than later. I was trying very hard not to have an emotional connection to Edward, but the way he defended me…I had emotions. Once we are home and we put Liam to bed, I find my way into my room to change out of my clothes.

"What do you want me to call you?" Edward asks as he walks up behind me. I am just in my bra, getting ready to take it off.

"Edward…"

"I'm not calling you Edward," he says with a chuckle. He unhooks my bra and I quickly put my shirt on. "Hey, that's not fair."

"We need to talk."

"I really don't feel like talking."

"This…us…I can't…I thought…after today…"

"I agree," he says as I nod sadly.

"Okay…um…can we still be friends, ya know, for Liam?" I ask as he cocks his head to the side.

"Wait…you're ending this?" he asks as I look at him in confusion.

"Weren't you?"

"No…"

"Oh…um…I feel like I have this emotional connection to you, and I know that's not what you want. After today, we felt like a family. I'm sorry," I say as I move to my bed. I know for sure he's going to leave. The room is so quiet. I have my face down in the pillow and I let my tears spill over. I'm so sad. I let my sobs over take my body…I already missed him. I'm startled when I feel the bed dip. I whip my head to the side to see a half-naked Edward climbing into my bed.

"I thought you left," I say with a sniffle.

"Come here," he says, pulling me to his chest. He cuddles with me and he comforts me. "I wasn't going to end things."

"Okay," I say as my eyes close.

"I want to try. You're right, after this afternoon, things have changed between us," he says as I cling to him tighter. "I don't want Jake anywhere near you or Liam."

"Me either," I say with a laugh. "You've been more like Liam's father in one week than anyone ever has. He loves you."

"I love that little boy, too," he says as I smile. "We have to try, or I'll spend years wondering what if."

"I understand that. Can I start working for you soon then?"

"You don't have to work at all," he tells me as I roll my eyes.

"I won't take your money anymore for sex," I say as he lets out a sigh.

"Okay, I'll see what I can do tomorrow," he says as I kiss his chest.

"You're pretty amazing," I tell him as he plays with my hair. "Call me Bella." He lifts my chin up with his fingers as he brings his mouth to mine. He kisses me slowly, and I crave the taste of his mouth. "It's time to move on," I think he says. He speaks so quietly that I can't be sure of what he says.

"What?"

"Nothing…let's get some sleep." Once we're under the covers, I close my eyes and focus on the feel of his hand under my shirt rubbing my stomach. "We need to get you a bigger bed." I giggle as he holds me close.

"This bed is brand new."

"Jenna needs a new bed; we'll give it to her."

"Which one was Jenna?"

"Emily's daughter."

"Okay…night."

"Good night, Sweetie." With that, we both easily fall asleep.
