"What's going on?" I asked panicked by his uneasiness.
Was his girlfriend here and he needed to get rid of me?
"I have a...a visitor that I was not aware was coming. She's really a sweet thing and won't be any danger but I just want to make sure you can handle it and won't be afraid," He said so quickly I almost missed it.
The doorbell rang again.
"It's quite urgent," He said with a pained look, restraining from getting the door to make sure I was alright.
"Answer the door, Edward. I'm fine," I said but my voice shook.
He looked unsure but went for the front door anyway.
I had no idea who was at the door, most likely someone named Tanya, so I quickly straightened out my clothing and tried to tame the mane I called hair.
I just stood there, having no idea what to do, as Edward opened the door.
"Jeezus, Edward, could you take any longer opening the door? You knew I was coming," A feminine voice sounded before a figure bursted through the door.
Edward just rolled his eyes and moved out of the way.
"Where is she?" Edward asked
Who?
"Still in the car," Tanya answered.
She still hadn't noticed me.
"What is going on Tanya? You're early," Edward said running his fingers through his hair.
"Things changed, Alec wants to leave earlier than we thought,"
Just then Tanya turned and saw me. I must have looked like a deer caught in headlights.
"Who the hell are you?"
Tanya had wavy strawberry blonde hair, a supermodel figure, and crystal blue eyes that seemed familiar.
I opened my mouth slightly but no sound came out.
"Are you mute?" She asked after a few seconds. I quickly shut my mouth and looked to Edward.
Tanya followed my gaze.
"Well?" She asked Edward, giving him an annoyed look.
"She is my...friend," Edward finally answered.
"Do you always let your friends wear your clothes?" Tanya asked, annoyed.
"That is none of your business. Now go get her from the car, please." Edward said in a tone I would not want to piss off.
Tanya rolled her eyes, dropped a few luggage bags she had been holding, and retreated from the house.
"I will explain everything, Bella." He said giving me a sad look. "I promise,"
I just nodded, still having no idea what to say or do.
I could hear Tanya getting closer but there was another voice. It was higher, sweeter, tinier.
I think what I heard next was one of the biggest surprises in my life.
"Daddy!"
Daddy?
Daddy?!
Edward...Edward was a father.
I did NOT see that coming.
"Hey, princess!" Edward smiled as a tiny person ran right into Edwards waiting arms.
It was precious but also mind blowing.
"I missed you, Daddy," The little person said as Edward stood up with her still wrapped in his arms.
The little person was the same one I had seen in the pictures around the house. I had just assumed she was a way younger sibling of Edwards, never his child! She was even more adorable in person. Her eyes were a mix of Edward and Tanya's, her hair was the color of Edwards but texture of Tanya's, and her features were a mix of both; Edwards nose, Tanya's eye shape, Edwards lips, Tanya's cheekbones, Edwards jaw structure, etc.
She was a beautiful child.
"I missed you too, Lucy Goosey!" Edward said planting kisses all over the little girls face, making her squeal with delight, bringing me out of my thoughts.
"Edward, I'm no longer comfortable leaving Lucy here with...her here," Tanya sneered, shooting dangers in my direction.
"Tanya, it is none of your concern who I have in my home. I trust Bella, which means I trust her around my daughter," Edward said, defending me.
"Your daughter? Smooth Edward, real smooth. What is she a hooker your paying?" Tanya laughed.
My heart began to pick up and my stomach sank.
I was no hooker.
"Tanya that is enough!" Edward exclaimed causing bother Lucy and I to jump.
"Sorry," Edward said looking at the both of us. "But I will have none of that Tanya, do I ever say anything about Alec being around Lucy? Exactly, no. So you have no right to say anything about Bella. I have not brought a single women around Lucy her whole life, but haven't you brought at least 6 guys around in her 4 years?"
Tanya's face held no expression. She turned her head and just studied me.
"You always were one to help out charity cases," Tanya smirked after a few minutes.
Tears welled in my eyes but I blinked them back.
"Enough," Edward said in a deathly tone, his grip on Lucy tightened.
"You know he only pretends to care for sex in return, right?" Tanya laughed. "You're nothing but a piece of shit he wants to fuck then he'll throw you out,"
"That is enough, Tanya! Do not insult Bella and fill her head with your sick lies and do not curse in front of my child," Edward exclaimed, making Lucy whimper. "Sorry, baby," Edward cooed.
"Tanya you need to leave," Edward said in a more tamed tone. "Lucy will be ready for you to pick her up in one week,"
With that Tanya sent me another smirk, kissed Lucy goodbye, and left. Not another word spoken.
She didn't even tell her child she loves her.
"Bella... I-I'm" Edward stuttered.
"No no it's fine," I said I quickly wiped away the tears I didn't notice had fallen.
"No it's not,"
"Really it is," I said looking anywhere but him. "I'm tired, I'm going to get some sleep. Goodnight Edward," I said. "Goodnight, Lucy," I said quietly walking past them both toward the steps.
"Night night!" Lucy called waving her little hand.
After reaching the top of the steps I sprinted into my room, shut the door, dove onto the bed, and just cried.
Tanya was right.
Edward was being so nice just to get laid.
Why hadn't he told me about Lucy? I knew we weren't a couple or anything but I thought we were at least friends. Didn't friends share that kind of information with other friends? I knew Edward was too good to be true.
I cried for what felt like hours until finally there were no tears left and exhaustion sank in.
I knew I needed to leave.
Very soon.
~OoOoO~
Once I woke up the next day I cried all over again because it all sank in again. After my tears stopped I just laid in the bed starring at the ceiling. I did not want to face Edward.
I could faintly hear the muffled squeals and words from Lucy followed by Edwards deep velvet voice.
I trusted him and he let me down.
My thoughts were interrupted by a tiny knock on the door.
I took a deep breath, ready to face it all.
"Come in," I called. My voice was hoarse from sleep and all the crying.
The door creaked open and Lucy's adorable face popped in.
"We made you breakfast!" She squealed, clapping her hands before running and jumping onto the bed. I couldn't help but giggle at her cuteness.
I refused to look at Edward as he lurked next to the bed with a tray in his arms.
"What'd you make?" I asked Lucy who was about to burst with excitement.
"Pancakes!" She screamed and I laughed. "They are my favorite breakfast ev-er! Daddy makes the best pancakes and I eat them whenever I come over, sometimes they have blueberries sometimes they have chocolate chips sometimes they are just plain with strawberries and whipped cream!" She said all in one breath, one sentence.
She was the cutest thing ever.
"What do they have today?" I asked just wanting to hear her voice again.
"Chocolate Chips because they are my favorite and I knew you'd like them too because we are going to be best friends and best friends lllooooovvvveeee the same things!"
"Chocolate Chips? No way! Well you defiantly have to share them with me, Lucy," I said as Edward placed the tray on my lap.
"Really?" She asked, so excited.
"Well of course," I smiled handing her the fork after I cut them up.
We took turns sharing the food while Edward took a seat on the rocking chair next to the bed.
I knew he wanted to talk, I just wasn't in the mood.
I knew he did so much for me and I should just be grateful, and don't get me wrong I was! I just had to think, I felt betrayed.
Edward didn't say much, he just laughed at Lucy and I.
Lucy and I talked the whole time we ate, about everything.
Favorite Disney Princess, favorite color, favorite animal, favorite everything!
It was truly amazing being able to have such a simple conversation with such an innocent being.
She was so real. I didn't have to worry about her judging me, or being worried I'd say the wrong thing.
I had forgotten what innocence was.
But Lucy introduced it to me all over again.
She was showing me what it was like to actually live!
One thing I knew for sure, Lucy already owned my heart.
My damaged, messed up, unloved heart.
