A/N: I hope you guys enjoy this chapter. I was at a total loss for a while on how I or why I should proceed, but I decided that I'll just continue this story, and hopefully you guys will review and tell what you think. The apartment pictures is on my profile, so if you would like to know how it looks like, go ahead and take a peak. Thank you for continuing to read, and I'll look foward to updating.

Trading Secrets and Living Lies

I looked towards Angela and froze. She finished taking a sip of her wine and shook her head in denial.

"No." she said simply and took another sip.

"Yeah, Angela." Rose whispered. Angela sat her wine down and stared at Irina, who was shaking her head and wasn't even woman enough to look Angie in the eyes. Her eyes shot back and forth between Irina and Ben.

"Well, uh, thanks for the dinner, but, uh, I think I should be going." Troy said.

"I think you need to stay man, we're going to need some law enforcement around here." Edward told him. Troy sat back down and looked completely out of his element.

"Sorry." I heard Rose whisper, but Angie completely ignored her and turned towards Ben.

"Is it true?" she whispered, her voiced completely lost and cracked, weighed down by the emotions that were running through her.

"Yeah…yeah it's true. That's my secret, I'm the bad guy, but I'm not the only married person with secrets at this table." He said. "Jasper, did Alice tell you she got her tubes tied, so she wouldn't have children? Hmm? Didn't tell him," he turned to Alice, "because that's what Angela told me. I'm sorry Jasper, but your chances of having a boy are slim to none." Oh no, this can't be happening. I hope he doesn't know I'm pregnant.

I looked up to see Jasper starring at Alice with tears in his eyes. He shook his head and looked away, unable to look at her as she tried to mouth how sorry she was.

"Ben, don't go telling secrets, man." Emmett said with anxiety in his voice.

"No,no,no, come on Emmett. Ya'll talk about me, hmm? You put my secret out there, let's put everybody's secret out there on the table." This had to be stopped.

"Ben, wait a minute, you have gone too far, you are getting really dangerous, now, you need to stop this…!" I said, but he interrupted me.

"Edward, since you guys are walking around like the perfect couple, will you please inform your wife how you came crying in my house asking how she could even be considered a woman when she can't even keep a child from dying in the womb. How about when you asked me how you could be so stupid as to marry a woman in that condition? How about that?"

At that moment, everything around me stopped and I became numb. All at the same time I felt rage, betrayel, pain, depression, but the strongest emotion…was rage. I heard voices around me, and I saw what was happening as this once happy dinner began to crumble.

"You are low down, dirty bastard…" Rose began.

"Shut up!" Ben interrupted.

"No, you shut up!"

"Emmett, please…" Ben began and I heard Emmett mumble.

"Ah, hell." Emmett said as he was preparing himself for the wrath that was sure to come when Rose would find out his secret, but Ben continued like he didn't hear him.

"Please tell this woman the truth, and I pray that it sets you free. I pray brotha, tell this woman how Edward…" Emmett began shaking his head vigorously, "had to give you a shot, because you had VD!"

Rose turned to Emmett, "Oh, so you got VD?"

"Checkmate!" Ben said and took a sip of his wine.

"Who you been with?" Rose asked.

"Rosalie, let's discuss this in private." Emmett suggested.

"No, you know what, it seems like you guys have been talking in private enough." she said as she looked around the table before turning back to Emmett, "How long have you had it?"

"…a week." He mumbled.

"Was it Lauren?" Lauren was Emmett's ex-girlfriend who seemed to not understand that he was taken.

Emmett nodded slightly, looking back and forth to no one in particular.

"No, you didn't get it from her, you got it from Walter." Rose said. Who the hell is Walter?

"What are you talking about, I'm not gay?" Emmett said confused.

"No, I slept with him…I got a shot, I was just waiting for you to say something...Boom!" Rose said while pointing her fingers like guns and nodding her head nonchalantly while chuckling.

It was quiet for a few seconds before Emmett got up and started to choke Rose. We all jumped up to stop him.

The guys struggled to get Emmett off of Rose as yelling filled the house and silverware dropped on the floor.

"DON'T TOUCH ME, GET OFF OF ME! DON'T YOU BE PUTTING YOUR HANDS ON ME!" Rose yelled as the guys finally got Emmett off of her and Troy held Rose back.

"ARREST HIM! GET HIM, YOU SEE HE'S TRYING TO KILL ME, ARREST HIM TROY" she demanded.

"See, that's why I slept with her…because you're so damn evil!" Emmett said breathlessly.

"You know what, you put your hands on the wrong one, Emmett!" she said and pointed a finger at him.

"I'm outta here!" Emmett said, stalking out of the dining room.

"Get outta here!" Rose said with a wave of her hand.

"Now, that's the best idea I've heard, since we got up here. Let's cut this trip short, babe, go pack our stuff, we outta here." Ben said. Irina got up and hurried out to get their stuff. Ben sat down next to Angela, who was staring blankly ahead of her.

"Look, I'm sorry you had to hear it this way from your friend over there. It's over…now I'll be more than fair, but I want a divorce." Angela's breath quickened as a look of pure pain and anguish took over her face, and at that moment, the rest of my heart broke for my sister.

"Hey, you can have the rental property. My partner can put bars on it for you so…don't thank me or nothing; you know it's a rough neighborhood. You can have that car, I'll pay the rental place for it, and uh, I'll figure everything else out." Ben continued. Angela wouldn't reply, I don't think she could if she tried.

He looked down to the table and back to her, waiting, but she wouldn't say anything. He snapped his figures in front of her ears, before mumbling a whatever, and getting up to leave, but before any of us got to stop her, she had the Champaign bottle in her hands, and crashed it over the top of his head. Throwing the top of the broken bottle down on the ground, she got up and walked out of the house, not looking back at the pathetic piece of shit that lied on the floor moaning in pain.

"Oh, I hope he's dead." Rose sneered. I felt a hand on my shoulder, and all the rage that left from the shock of the whole dinner, invaded my body, and I spun around to see Edward. He took a few steps back as he saw the pure rage that engulfed my eyes.

"Bella, I'm…" he began to whisper, but I couldn't hear it, and before I knew it, my fist flew forward and collided with his jaw. Edward fell on his ass on the floor, holding his jaw, as I saw blood dripping down his chin. I must have busted his lip. Good.

"I completely deserved that…" Edward said, but I backhanded him quickly, and he fell on his back against the floor.

I slowly walked over to him, and crouched down, so he could see my face. Tears began to flood my eyes, but I refused to let them fall just yet…I had a few words to say to him first.

"You, bastard! You think you're the only one who feels this pain? Do you think I want to go to the doctor after only a few weeks later of finding out I'm pregnant, only for them to tell me that I lost another child? How dare you! YOU CAN GO TO HELL, MOTHER FUCKER, IF YOU EVEN THINK I'M GOING TO LET YOU MAKE THIS SEEM LIKE I AM THE BAD GUY! I DIDN'T WANT TO BE RAPED! I DIDN'T WANT THE DOCTOR TO TELL ME THAT I WOULD HAVE DIFFICULTY KEEPING A CHILD ALIVE MUCH LESS CONCEIVE ONE! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU, AND YOUR ASSUMPTION THAT I AM NOT WOMAN ENOUGH TO KEEP A CHILD, BECAUSE BY GOD I WILL HAVE A BABY, AND LOOKS LIKE IT WON'T BE YOURS! IF YOU HAVE TO WONDER WHY YOU'RE MARRIED TO ME, THAN MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T BE MARRIED AT ALL!" I yelled and slapped him repeatedly, before I felt hands grab me and drag me out of the dining room.

My tears were falling so hard, I couldn't see in front of me. All I knew was I was up the stairs and now in a room, crying into delicate arms. I knew it was Alice holding me around the shoulders and from the arms that were holding me around my waist; I knew Rose was holding me as well.

We cried together. I cried from the pain I felt as the hole in my chest began to burn. I welcomed the pain, hoping it would incinerate me, and allow me to be free of this depression that now consumed my marriage. Rose cried from the betrayal she felt from Emmett, as now it seemed that they got in too deep a hole to dig themselves out of. Alice cried for the pain she caused Jasper, as she kept such a vital secret from him, and the once psychic pixie, didn't know what would become of their relationship. We cried for our marriage, as it seemed that there might not be one, once we got home.

For hours we held each other and cried, before settling down, and laying in the darkness, holding onto each other for dear life.

"What are we going to do?" Rose whispered with a raspy voice. I knew all of our voices would be raspy, as at one point our cries turned into desperate, blood curdling wails.

"I don't know." I whispered back.

"You guys have the opportunity to save your marriage by finding it in your hearts to forgive your husbands, I'm the one who has to apologize repeatedly and beg for Jazz to take me back." Alice said.

"Forgive? I can't forgive Edward for what he said. He's lucky I don't make good of the threat my brothers made to him when we got married. My heart…I can't describe it. It's burning, shattered, broken, and bleeding, and I don't know…I don't know how to fix it." I said and shook my head.

"Do you still love him, Bella?" Alice asked.

"…yes, I love him with all my heart, but how do you move on from this. How do you just forget about the wretched things the person you love and trusted says about you?"

"You don't forget, Bellsy, you forgive, talk about it with each other, and find a way to move on together." Alice explained like it was obvious. I shook my head; she couldn't understand how I felt right now. He doesn't know I'm pregnant, and now…I don't know when I'll tell him.

"Well, Emmett and mine's relationship and more difficult than that."

"Are you stupid, Rose? First of all, tell that man that you didn't sleep with a Walter, because you don't even know a Walter, and then talk to him and learn how to trust him. Rose, you chewed him out all the time, and drove him right out of your arms into another woman's. You are part of the problem too, and if you continue to yell at him the way you do, you are going to lose the man who loves you past your looks. What happened to the Emmett and Rosalie in high school? Yeah, you guys butted heads a lot, but by God, you two were so madly in love, Ray Charles would have been able to see it." I told her. I heard her sniffle behind me, and I squeezed her hand.

"As for you, Alice." I continued, "you have to beg for forgiveness and explain to him exactly how you feel about having a child. Have a heart to heart with your husband; you are just as communicational as Ed…Edward and I." I struggled to get his name out, as just the thought of his name shot anger and pain to my heart.

"I don't know about any of you, but I don't want to go home. I'm fine with leaving here, but maybe we could rent an apartment or something, and just spend some much needed time together, while we figure out if our marriages are going to make it." Rose suggested.

"I can live with that, how about you Alice?" I asked.

"I doubt Jasper would let me into the house anyway, so I'll do it." She said with a shaky voice.

"Come on, let's go get our stuff. The clothes we packed should be enough, but if we need more, we could always go to our houses and get more until this blows over." Rose suggested.

"Wait, what about Angela?" I asked.

"We don't know where she is, but I know she'll be okay. We'll get a call from her, and if we don't after a week or two, we'll call Troy and ask if he's seen her, but I truly doubt she'll be coming back to New York with us. She doesn't work, so other than us and friends, she doesn't have a connection to NY anymore. If I was her, I would start over here, and live her life. Now that she is out of a loveless marriage, she can date again too." Alice said.

She was right too; Angela should start over here. We'll just have to wait and see how she is doing when she calls. We all got up and headed to our rooms to pack our stuff. I walked into mine to see Edward sitting on the edge of the bed with his head in his hands. His head flew up when the door closed, and he got up and started to walk towards me. I put up my hand to stop him and shook my head.

"Alice, Rose, and I are going home and finding an apartment. We're going to live together until we all figure this out. I'm taking the car, so ride with Jasper." I saw Jasper packing his stuff when Alice opened the door, so I knew he could drive with Edward back.

"No, Bella, please, don't leave me. I'm sorry, I was so fucking stupid to say shit like that, but I was hurting…"

"I was hurt too; a whole hell of a lot more than you, so don't give me that bullshit, because it's falling on deaf ears." I sneered and tried to walk past him, but he grabbed my wrists. I turned towards him slowly, and glared menacingly.

"If you don't let me go, you and I are going to have a coming to Jesus moment." I threatened. Edward's beautiful emerald eyes filled with tears, but he let me go.

I quickly walked to the closet, unable to look at him anymore. Just seeing him with tears in his eyes made me want to hold him close to me, and tell him we would be alright, but I couldn't. I wanted him wrapped around me, with him hugging me close to his chest, but I knew that wouldn't happen anytime soon, because there was an urge to hold him to me, but there was also an urge to shove that hand he grabbed me with, so far up his ass, he'll be able to touch his colon.

I threw all my stuff into my suitcases, and put on my coat. I grabbed everything out of the bathroom, and threw it into my coach duffle bag, along with the shoes I wasn't going to wear and brought it all into the bedroom. I felt his eyes burning into my head, but I didn't dare look back as I grabbed the keys to our car, shoved on my shoes, and walked out of the door, dragging all my stuff with me. Before I closed the door I heard the most agonizing sound that made my stomach clench. I heard Edward wail my name and drop to the floor, but even then I didn't look back, for if I did, I would forgive him instantly, and I just couldn't do that.

I threw my stuff down the stairs, letting it roll as I couldn't bring it down myself, too afraid to fall and risk losing my baby again. When I got down stairs, I saw Jasper checking his bags, and I walked over to him. I tapped him on the shoulder to see his once shining hazel eyes were now dull, red, and filled with tears. I opened my arms and he immediately went into them and cried on my shoulder. He had to bend over pretty far, but it didn't stop him from letting it out. I rubbed his back until he got up and attempted to smile a 'thanks' at me, but it ended up looking more like a grimace.

"Don't worry about it Jazz, everything will be okay. Remember, Alice loves you with all her heart, she just made a stupid decision, and now you two have to work through it. She's not perfect, as much as you thought she was, she is not, and she made a mistake. Don't be so hard on her, okay? Think this over, talk it out, and come to terms with it." I told him and rubbed his cheek softly. He grabbed it and held it there.

"That goes for you too. Edward loves you, and what he said was stupid and hurtful, but when you're hurting, you can say some stupid shit, and that's what he did. You know that is not what he thinks of you, but losing children is a hard thing to handle, and he handled it by lashing out about you. Talk to him about it, and take him back, before you lose everything." Jasper kissed my forehead, and bent down to gather his stuff.

"Edward is going to ride with you, so wait for him, okay. The girls and I decided to get an apartment to wait these decisions out. I don't want to be in the house with Edward, Rose doesn't want to be around Emmett, and Alice doesn't think you'll let her in, so…" I shrugged my shoulders.

"I probably would have let her in, I'm just not going to stay in the same rooms as her."

"I think she'd rather not be in the house at all, then to watch you ignore her. Can you do me a favor and take my bags to my car please?" I asked him. I didn't want to strain myself. I had to figure out a way to relax, before it's too late.

"Sure." He said and walked out with my bags to put them in the trunk. Alice and Rose came down the stairs with their stuff in hand when Jasper walked back in the door.

He looked at Alice and shook his head before turning to Rose, "Here, I'll take your bags."

"Thank you. Bella, whose driving first?" Rose asked

"I am, I need a distraction." I said. I was tired, but I didn't want to sit in the passenger seat and think about what happened tonight. Jasper walked back in, and without a word, he took Alice's bags in hand and walked away.

"Thank you." she whispered.

"I'm still a gentleman." was all he said back. I looked at Alice to see her teary eyed, and I immediately took her in my arms and began to walk outside also. Rose and I gave Jazz a hug and got into the car. Rose got into the passenger seat, leaving Alice the back.

I looked out the window to see Alice was about to say something, but Jasper totally ignored her and walked right passed her without a word. She clutched her chest, trying to keep it together and got into the back.

I drove for four hours before I remembered something great.

"Hey girls, guess what?" I asked them with a big smile.

"What?" they asked incredulously.

"Well, I forgot Giovanni has that apartment in Manhattan for when he and his family visits, and since he won't be down for a while before Christmas, why don't I ask if we can borrow it. I have an extra key anyway." I told them.

"Oh, Bella, that's brilliant, here call him now." Rose said and Alice agreed. She handed me my phone and went through my contacts to find him.

The phone rang a couple of times before I heard Gio's deep voice on the phone.

"Hello?"

"Giovanni!" I squealed.

"Little sis! How are you, it's been a minute since we've talked." He said excitedly.

"Yeah, I know, I'm sorry I was so busy with work. I'm fine, how are you?"

"I'm good. How's everyone in New York."

"Um…fine. How are my nieces, and sister-in-law?" I asked. I knew he wouldn't believe me, but luckily he ignored my hesitation.

"They're fine too. We have great news, they're will be a new addition to the family!" he yelled.

"That is so great, I'm so happy for you! I have a favor to ask you, though." I told him.

"Shoot sis, whatever you need, you know that." He said.

My big brother always gave me anything I wanted, no matter what I asked for. I once asked him to get me an anaconda, just to see if he would do it, and I woke up three o'clock in the morning, and went into his room to see that he was still on the phone trying to find one that could be shipped here. Needless to say, I stopped him and told him I was joking, but he got me a puppy instead. Both my brothers used to spoil me rotten, and I loved them very much.

"Can I and my girlfriends stay in your apartment?"

"Yeah, but why would you all stay there? Why aren't you staying with your husband's?" he asked. I could hear in his voice that he was in big brother mode. He was protective of Alice and Rose also, and I wouldn't be surprised and he flew down here along with Cristiano to kick some serious ass.

"We had a falling out with our husbands and well, we aren't on good terms right now."

"What did they do? I'll kill those mother fuckers!" he growled into the phone.

"No, no, really, we just have to work this all out in due time. I'll tell you on a later date, but right now I just need to know if we have some place to go." I said trying to hold it together as tears started to pool in my eyes.

"Yes, of course. You already have a key, and the apartment is well furnished. You'll have to go grocery shopping though." He said quickly.

"Okay, thank you so much."

"You are very welcome. And Jelly Belly, whatever is going on between you all will work out, you're bond is too powerful to be broken. I love you sis, and be safe." He said. He always called me that when he tried to cheer me up, and told me to be safe ever since I moved to New York. He hated that I lived so far away that he couldn't protect me, but he trusted Ed…him to protect me and love me.

"I love you too, Gio, and I will be." We hung up and I took a few minutes to collect myself before I told them the good news.

"Gio said yes, so we'll go straight there and settle in." I told them. I couldn't take this sad atmosphere anymore, so I put in my iPod and turned to my favorite happy song, 'Hey, soul sister by Train.'.

As soon as the song played we were humming and dancing in our seats. Soon, we were belting out the lyrics and having a good time. I drove with my knee as we started to vogue, trying to act like Madonna. After that song, 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper' came on, and I sung lead as my girls backed me up.

We were acting so care free, and it felt good to feel like the walls weren't collapsing around you. I pulled into a rest station to gas up, and switch places with Rose after a couple of hours. Rose drove the rest of the way home and I gave directions as to how to get to my brother's apartment.

Giovanni lived in the penthouse all the way at the top. We got our stuff, and the doorman opened the door for us. A few bellmen came and took our bags on the golden carts and we rode all forty two flights in silence. Thank God, no one was trying to get on the elevator as well, or it would have taken forever to get up there.

I opened the double doors and walked in. I heard Rose and Alice gasp at how beautiful this apartment was, and Alice squealed with excitement as she ran up the stairs. I tipped the bellmen after they took our bags upstairs, and walked into the kitchen to check the fridge and pantry. He was absolutely right, there was not a thing in the kitchen, so I planned on shopping for groceries tomorrow, and we would just order pizza tonight.

"Rosie, Ally, can you come downstairs, please?" I called. They came down the stairs with huge smiles on their faces. We sat down on the couch and relaxed.

"So, we still have two and a half weeks left in our vacation, what do you want to do?" I asked.

"Anything, we don't have to deal with husbands right now, and quite frankly, I'm happy we have time to spend together and catch up." Rose said. Alice and I nodded our heads in agreement.

"How about we spend the next two and a half weeks together, then we'll figure out what to do with our husbands?" I asked.

"That doesn't sound so bad. Maybe it's time that you both and my Jasper needs." Alice whispered. She had a glazed look in her eyes and I could tell she was about to cry.

"Okay, I know that we are all hurting, but we need this time to figure out our marriages. We maybe hurting immensely, but sitting around here moping is not going to do us any good. Somehow, we are going to make it through, and Ally, Jasper needs time, sweetie. Just ask for forgiveness when he is ready to talk to you." I told her softly.

"I know, I just miss him so much." She whispered.

"We are strong women, and we can make it together!" Rose agreed. We nodded our heads, ordered our pizza, and had a girls night filled with Robert Pattinson, Kellen Lutz, Jackson Rathbone, and Taylor Lautner.

It was a wonderful night, but there was one missing.

APOV (Angela)

Darkness. That's all I feel right now. I'm sitting here, rocking back and forth on the bed, trying to wrap my head around what just happened. I feel…what don't I feel? Betrayed is the best way I can sum it all up. Betrayed by Irina, betrayed by Ben, and betrayed by my friends, but I can't blame Rose, Alice, and Bella. I can't blame them, because I know that they tried to spare my feelings.

The thing that hurts the worse is remembering how it used to be in our marriage. We could have gone back to that, by God we could have, but he didn't even try, he didn'teventry.

I continued to rock back and forth and stare out the window when I heard the door open and someone knocked.

"I came to see how you are doing." I recognized the voice to be Troy's, but I didn't answer him, I just continued rocking.

"You know you left your key in the door." He said. Nothing, I couldn't find it in me to say anything.

"I'm guessing you're here to arrest me." I finally said after a few minutes of silence.

"No, I'm not here to arrest you."

"Did I kill him?" he shook his head, "I should have killed him." I said nodding my head.

"You don't mean that." He said, and my head immediately whipped to face him and glared.

"Maybe you do." He sighed. "I am actually here to take you somewhere. I want to show you something."

I got up and put on my coat, hat, gloves, and scarf, and walked with him to his police car. We drove up the mountain, and after a ten minute hike, we came to the top. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and I couldn't help but to gasp at how pure it looked.

"I come up here to think all the time." Troy said.

"What do you think about?" I mumbled.

"My life, my father, God, anything I want." He said.

"Do you come up here to cry?" I asked in a shaky voice.

"Yeah, I do that too." He said, and at that I broke down. I hadn't cried yet, and the weight of it all came crashing down on me.

"I can't describe the feelings that I'm having now…it's like I got hit by a car. I'm embarrassed and disappointed that I couldn't see this for myself. Everyone else could see it, so why couldn't I? And everything, everything I once had is gone. He canceled my credit cards, turned off my phone, and emptied out my bank account. I have eighty seven dollars to my name. .dollars. What am I going to do now?...I have no life without him." I cried.

"Well, it's not too late to start over." Troy said. I looked at him and just stared. Could I really start over here? What about my friends, what would happen with them? I knew that we would be forever best friends, but I didn't feel comfortable so far away from them. On the other hand, I didn't want to mooch off of them now that I have no place to go.

"Okay, I'll stay." I whispered and nodded my head.

"Good." There was silence for a few seconds before he turned to me, "I want to show you one more place."

We hiked back down the mountain and drove to a shop that was closed, but the sign still looked okay. It read that it was a general store and I became confused as to why he brought me here. We got out of the car, and walked into the store that was filled with dust and old boxes.

"This was my father's general store. Maybe, we could clear it out and make it a home for you after we renovate." He suggested, but I wasn't going to have that.

"No, how about we renovate it and make it a general store again? I could help run it." I suggested.

"No, you need a place to stay, plus you wouldn't want to work in a store, there are plenty of other jobs out there."

"Okay, how about this, we renovate it into a general store in the front, and in the back I will have a small home. All I need is a bed, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a dresser where I can keep my clothes. Please, I would really appreciate that." I said exasperatedly.

After a few minutes he finally agreed, "Sure, that doesn't sound too bad. The construction won't cost us nearly as much, since I know a few guys that owe me big time after I saved their butts." He mused.

And then it began. A week passed and so many people had volunteered to help clear out the shop, so it could be renovated. Construction was happening in the back, while I and the many nice people swept, painted, and dusted in the front. We put in new floors, shelves, clothes racks, and anything else we needed to make this store successful.

At the end of the second week, the whole store was finished and stocked, along with my small home in the back. I was excited to open it, and get everything started. In all this time, Troy and I hung out a lot and got to know each other very well. He has become a very good friend of mine in my time of need, and I couldn't be any more appreciative. Night after night I still cried in my hotel from the pain that harbored in my chest, but just the sight of him made that pain lesson and the darkness would recede for the time being. He was like my own personal sun, and I gravitated towards him all the time, wanting to feel his warmth.

Thankfully, tomorrow, which is a Monday, would be the start of the shop and I was practically bouncing off the walls. Troy and I scoured the shop, making sure everything was in order and ready to go for the grand opening. After a long day of cleaning things that were already glistening, Troy went home while I went to the back to my new room, thankful to be out of that stuffy hotel.

It was bigger than I expected, more the size of a small apartment. My bed was pushed against a wall, with a beautiful glimmering purple comforter on top. My dresser and night stand that had my lamp sitting on it was mahogany. There were two other doors and I looked to see that one led to my small kitchen while the other went to my bathroom that was big enough for even me.

I took myself a shower to get all this sweat off and then went into the kitchen to fix me some dinner. Troy informed me that he already went grocery shopping for me, and I was grateful as I didn't even think to go shopping for food.

After a sandwich, chips, and a soda, I crawled into bed, and fell asleep, vibrating with excitement of what was to come.

RPOV

A week had passed since the fight in Colorado happened. Alice, Bella, and I have really been able to catch up and just be sisters again, but all talks of our husbands were off limits. None of us could take that as at any minute we all looked like we would burst into tears at the mention of their names. More often than not we would find one of us crying after something reminded us of our men.

I walked in the kitchen one day to see Alice bent over a jelly jar crying her eyes out and yelling 'why' to the ceiling. I asked her what was the matter and she told me that the way she made her peanut butter and jelly sandwich was the way Jasper usually makes it, and she hadn't noticed she fixed it that way until she stopped and looked at it.

Another day I saw Bella glaring at the TV, an episode of man vs. wild was on and she just sat there with the most evil glare on her face with a string of profanities coming out of her mouth. I asked her why she was calling Bear Grylls a 'wanna-be, jackass explorer, mother fucker, who can go suck his own dick' and she said she was talking about that mother fucker she calls a husband, than out of nowhere she bursts out in tears.

I've cried too, but not as bad as the other two. I missed Emmett so much, but I am so pissed off that he blatantly lied to my face when I ask him is he cheating on me, claiming that I'm crazy for even thinking he would do that. Yeah, crazy my ass.

I was on the way home from the grocery store, but I have been in traffic for the last hour. When I finally passed the accident, what I saw was horrific. A truck was literally wrapped around a pole, and a body bag with a corpse lied on the road. The news crew was there, and I rolled down my window to see if I could hear anything. Apparently, the one that was dead was a forty two year old woman, whom the passenger says was her best friend. She was too safe, and never lived life to the fullest, but was the nicest person you could ever meet.

What she said struck me, and once I passed the accident, I went straight home to Alice and Bella. Groceries in hand, I burst through the door and dropped them on the floor. Bella and Alice were on the couch watching TV, but immediately jumped off the couch and ran straight to me.

"Rose, what's wrong, are you okay, honey?" Bella asked quickly as I looked at her with what was sure to be wild eyes.

"Are you ready to die?" I yelled, they looked at me incredulously, "Are you ready to get stabbed in an alley, in the neck, by a midget?" I continued, "Are you ready for Vanilla Ice to make a comeback and you buy all his CDs?"

"AHHHHH!" they screamed mortified.

"That's what I thought. Ladies, we have been living too safely. At anytime we could die, and then what? We must do something worthwhile, something crazy, like skydiving!" I suggested, waving my arms in the air wildly as I made my speech.

"Rose, you can't go skydiving, you're pregnant!" Alice yelled.

"I know, so I thought about going to one of those places that does simulated skydiving in a wind tunnel. What do you think?" I looked back and forth between Alice, who was vibrating with excitement, and Bella, who looked scared shitless. I know she was worrying about her baby, so I would make sure it was safe for both her and I.

"I'll make sure the pregnant are allowed to do it; if they are then I'll do it, if they aren't then I won't." I said, and looked at Bella who saw what I was trying to say through my eyes. She would make an excuse to sit with me, and we'll watch Alice do it, if we were not allowed.

"Okay." Bella murmured.

"YES!" Alice squealed. I went to look through the phone booth and found a place that was only an hour and a half away. I called and asked if pregnant women were allowed to do this, and they said as long as they were in the first trimester, it was allowed. I thanked them and hung up to tell the girls the good news.

I told them what the lady on the phone had said, and looked at Bella quickly to see her nod her head that she indeed was in the first trimester. I was going with Bella to her next ultrasound in two and a half weeks if she hadn't told Edward yet, and I was excited to know how far along she was now.

We gather our stuff and hoped in my M3 that I picked up from the house, and we were off to our adventure. Bella sat in the back, looking absolutely scared, and I couldn't blame her. When we found out that she misscaried after that bastard ran his mouth at dinner, it took everything in me to not hold her in my arms and tell her it would be okay. I looked at her in the rearview mirror, and pride swelled in my heart. I was so blessed to have a best friend that was so strong, and dealt the cards she was given, but to also blow caution into the wind and take chances was extraordinary.

We listened to the radio the whole way in silence, and once there, we walked in and went to the desk. The lady told us we would have to go to a twenty minute seminar that instructed us on how to hold our bodies, the different positions, and the dos and don'ts of this simulation.

The seminar felt like forever, but the excitement started again when the instructor told us to suit up.

"I'm so excited!" Alice said with one of her famous squeals as we were dressing.

"I am too, what about you Bells?" I turned to her to see that she was dressed and biting her bottom lip, something she does when she is nervous.

"I'm excited, but I'm more nervous. Be careful, okay?" Bella asked. Out of all of us she was more like our best friend/mother and we loved it. She is one person you could always go to no matter what, holding us if we needed it, and she was usually the one we went to for advice, unless we went to Esme.

We nodded our heads, put on our helmets and goggles, and walked out to the tunnel to see our instructor in there already.

"Okay, ladies, which one goes first?" he asked. Alice immediately put her hand up and bounced up and down, indicating she wanted her go. Bella and I walked out and sat on the bench to watch Alice through the clear glass, and chatted a little.

"Bella, breath, you and your baby will be fine. Live a little will you?" I said. I watched as Alice and the guy floated to the ceiling and back down, doing flips, spins, and other acrobatic movements. We could clearly hear her bell-like laughter and it made us giggle along with her.

"I'm trying. I'll be okay once I get in there. It actually looks fun!" she said with a big, sincere smile, and I was happy to let her go next when Alice's time was up. Alice and I watched her do all types of movements, and truly enjoy herself, but what Alice said next made me do a double take.

"You two are keeping something from me." She said, not even bothering to look at me.

"What are you talking about, Ally?" I asked playing dumb.

"Do you think I was born yesterday? I know you two are keeping something from me and it hurts. I know I'm not the best at keeping secrets, but we never kept one from each other." She said with a small sniffle.

"Oh Allybaba, I know that it hurts being out of the loop, but Bella wants to be the one to tell everyone. She doesn't want the secret to be spilled, and as hard as she knows you try, you can never keep one, that's the only reason why she hasn't told you. And I wouldn't know either if I wasn't around her when she found out, so you're going to have to be patient. It's not bad news, it's actually really good!" I said with a smile. She looked at me and starred for a moment before smiling a genuine smile and going back to the bubbly Alice we know and love.

After Bella was done, she sat by Alice and I heard them giggling and chatting as I walked into the tunnel. I got into position and looked at the instructor.

"Just nod your head when you are ready." He told me. I nodded my head and the fans turned on. He grabbed onto my suit and we floated up and started to spin on our stomachs.

We did back flips, front flips, and everything else that we could do. It was so exciting, and when I was through, I hopped out with windblown hair and the biggest fucking smile on my face that matched my best friends.

We thanked the instructor, and took off our gear and suit, hanging it on the hooks in the locker room. We got into the car and talked the whole way home about how exciting that was, and how we had to do it again soon.

When we walked into the apartment it was around four, so we separated to do our own thing. I was looking into a magazine, when I heard Bella yell a loud 'shit', and saw her running down the stairs, holding onto the bar to make sure she wouldn't trip.

I jumped up to see what was wrong, and Alice came running into the living room with a frantic look.

"Bella, what's wrong?" Alice and I yelled at the same time.

"I have to pick up something…from my house." She whispered, and instantly we knew what she was talking about. It would be the first time, in a week, that she has seen Edward, spoken to Edward, or even been near Edward.

"I need to pick up my supplies for my new line at my house." Alice whispered too.

"I need to pick up some tools to work on my car from my house." I whispered. We looked into each other's tear filled eyes and only saw one emotion. Apprehension.

This would be the first time for all of us to see our husbands, and we didn't know how the hell it was going to turn out. Fuck me!


A/N: Oh, what is going to happen at there house when they get there. Will they work it out or is this marriage hiatus going to be longer than they expected, find out in the next chapter!

Hey you guys, I need some advice as to what I should do with the pregnancy of Rose and Bella. I'm not sure if I want to their husbands to know in the next chapter, or if i should put it off for a little longer, so tell me what you think I should do in your reviews. Thank you!
