Edward POV

I remained frozen as my soon to be mother in law entered the room. She went and sat down on the other side of Bella, leaning to kiss her daughter forehead. I almost snapped the bed side that I was griping, and I used all of my self control not to crush Bella's hand I was holding in mine.

Renee seemed awkward about showing love for her daughter around me, and so she should. She had kicked her out like she was some washed up hor, not that Renee had been much different, that's why she and Charlie had got married in the first place, and look how that turned out.

I suppose as a third party I could kind of see her point, but she had no right to treat Bella like that. Okay some would argue that she was only trying to stop her making the mistakes she did, not that I would call deciding to keep her baby, which turned out to be Bella. After all, if Bella had been aborted, I would have nothing to live for.

"Edward I know your mad, and you have every right to be, after all you are the father of it but…" She started but I cut her off.

"No not it Renee, it's a baby, your grandchild." I snapped.

She blinked and I sighed, my gentlemanly self returning as I addressed my fiancées mother.

"I'm sorry." I muttered, sighing an resting my head in my hands.

"Its just a lot to deal with." I finished.

Her thoughts were rushing ahead of her as she thought of ways to approach the subject with me.

"I know you hate me for leaving Bella last fall, but I wont hurt her like that again." I said before I could stop myself.

Renee blinked, thinking of ways I could have thought what she was thinking, but her child like tendencies to not think things through were a god send, as she moved on, not really missing a beat.

"I know you wont, I'm glad you came back, I don't think she would of ever got over it." She said.

I flinched and looked at Bella's face, so perfect my silent heart swelled just gazing on her.

"I don't think I would either." I muttered.

She smiled, "I know you don't really want to talk about it Edward, that's its still a fresh wound, a fresh point of anger but…" She sighed, trying to take on the parental role in the conversation.

I tensed, knowing what she was going to say without my power.

"What happened with Charlie…." She started and I couldn't help but cringe.

"You'll be a father in a few months, and you'll realise jus how much Bella means to him, even if it doesn't seem that way now." She whispered at the end.

"I can't trust him with her." I muttered, eyes still on Bella's face.

"But…" Renee started but Carlisle knocked at the door, telling Renee visiting hours had finished.

She kissed Bella's forehead and smiled at me. I smiled back, but it didn't reach my eyes, the rest for my face was emotionless.

"Go and get something to eat." Carlisle told me firmly as he checked her stats.

I shook my head, "I can't… if I leave." I swallowed, "I can't risk doing something I'll regret and that will hurt her."

He sighed, "He's her father Edward, your soon going to be his son in law."

I interrupted then, "Yes because family ties seem to mean a lot to him don't they." I growled.

He frowned in disapproval, "She needs to know your strong enough to kept a handle on your anger, she's not as strong as you, emotionally as well as physically." He said and left.

I sighed and rubbed my eyes, I was not tired, but I wanted to be. I wanted to be able to escape my life for just a few hours.

Apparently that was to much for a vampire to ask.

Another knock came and I sighed, leaving back in my chair and covering my face in my hands.

"Please tell me this is a joke." I laughed without humour.

"Nope." They both said at the same time, popping their lips on the 'p'.

"Just get out, please." I begged, I wasn't in the mood to play the mature older brother. All I in fact felt like doing was breaking down crying.

Apparently that was to much to ask for as well.

Was there anything I could actually do to vent the anger I felt.

It seemed not.

"How's she doing?" Emmet asked, flopping down in the chair Renee had sat in.

"How do you think she's doing Emmet?" I growled.

He rolled shi eyes and put his hands up defensively, "Sor-ry!" HE exclaimed.

I frowned and Alice sighed."Come on Emmet, he's not in the mood." She said and left.

I sighed and lay my head on my arm on the bed, I just wanted to be alone with my wife.

"Edward?" Another voice asked form the doorway.

I stood bolt upright, "Oh my god is it to much to ask that I get a moment alone to myself!" I yelled.

Esme cringed and I sighed in horror of myself, sitting down with my head in my hands."I'm sorry mum… I just…"

"I know." She whispered and wrapped her arm round my shoulder, kissing my hair.

"Thank you for being with her, she must have been so scared." I whispered and re-took Bells hand.

Esme rubbed the back of my shoulders.

"All she wanted was for you to know she would be okay, I think, knowing that you thought she would be, made her feel that as well."

I swallowed, "I've failed her again."

"Don't you ever think that, she doesn't, so you shouldn't." Esme scolded me.

I sighed, "Thank you Esme, for everything."

She smiled, "I'll be back in the morning."

I nodded, "Love you mom."

She smiled, "Love you to dear."

I sighed again when she left, looking back at my wife to be.

"And I love you, my Bella." I whispered and kissed her temple.

I may have been Imagineering it, but I sore I heard a gentle sigh escape her lips.
