Josh's POV (Bella-9, Sam-13, Paul-16)

"Bella come down here right now!" Paul yells up the stairs to her and she screams down no!

"What is going on Paul?" I ask him concerned because he never yells at Bella. Neither of the boys do, they fight with each other sometimes, but they never get mad at her.

"I want to go to Jared's house. I told her she could come with me, but when I told her Jacob was going to be there, she got all weird and changed her mind. Now she won't even come down and talk to me."

This is crazy, she's 9 years old. She shouldn't be having boy problems already.

"Just go Paul, I'll talk to her and if she wants to come I'll drop her off." Tina tells him and he rolls his eyes at her.

"Yeah mom, she wants to talk to you." He tells her sarcastically.

So their relationship still isn't great. It's partly both Tina and Bella's fault, but a lot of it has to do with the fact that they have absolutely nothing in common.

Tina is high maintenance, into clothes, jewelry and all that other girly stuff. Paul calls her shallow; their relationship isn't all that great either. Bella is into sports, art, half the time she's wearing jeans, and one of the boy's shirts, even though they are way too big for her. I'm pretty sure she does it mostly because it drives Tina nuts.

It doesn't help that to the boys Bella is still never wrong, though Sam tends to stay out of it unless Bella is actually upset about it. Usually when Tina and Bella argue Tina ends up upset, and Bella goes about her life. Paul on the other hand almost always jumps in to take Bella's side.

Tina took trying with Bella to mean forcing Bella into being a girly girl and Bella went with it for maybe a day. Then she decided she wanted to play sports at one of Sam's baseball games so Sam sat with her and explained all the options, shortly after she started playing soccer. She's good too. Tina won't even go to her games because she's mad that she's not doing ballet or beauty pageants.

She signed Bella up for a beauty pageant when she was 5 and Bella was still in her I'm going to love Tina phase. As soon as she found out she had to wear a frilly dress she told Tina it wasn't happening. Tina of course threw a fit but Bella didn't do the pageant.

Sam told Tina he doesn't want her to come to his games if she's not going to come to Bella's and now if I'm out of town the boys get her to hers and they go to all of Sam's as long as the schedule's don't conflict.

Tina and Paul are yelling and arguing about Bella when Sam walks in the room and tells them to stop.

"Lee is coming to talk to her, you two need to cut it out." He tells them.

"I just don't get what her problem is." Paul tells Sam and Sam rolls his eyes.

"She likes him you idiot. He's mean to her because he likes her too. You spend a lot of time with her, how did you miss that?" Sam asks him like he's stupid.

"She's 9! She's too little to being worrying about boys." Paul tells him in horror. It's really hard not to laugh and once again I think how nice it is that she has them to keep boys away.

Leah gets there soon. Leah and Sam have known each other forever but lately they spend a lot of time together.

"Where is she?" Leah asks. Sam tells her upstairs in her room and she runs up.

10 minutes later Bella comes down with red eyes but dressed. She says she's ready to go with Paul.

So she leaves with Paul. Sam and Leah take off leaving me and Tina which is rare but she looks nervous about something.

"What is it Tina? You've been acting weird for a couple of days now." I tell her. She's been distant for the last couple of months but I've been working a lot so I figured that's why. She likes attention and she kind of acts like a child when she doesn't get enough.

"It's nothing really, it's just we've never talked about it and the kids are so much older now and I…"

"Come on, just tell me Tina. I'm sure it will be fine." I tell her.

"I'm pregnant Josh." She whispers.

"You're cheating on me?" I ask her and she starts crying.

"How could you even think that?" She cries.

"I don't think, I'm sure. After I left Alison and Sam I had a vasectomy, because I didn't want to have another child I wasn't good enough for. So who is it Tina?" I ask her as she continued to cry.

"It's um… you don't know him." She lies.

"Who is it Tina? I deserve to know whose child you thought you would pass off as mine."

She mumbles something that I don't understand, and then Paul and Bella walk back inside, Bella rambling about forgetting something. Paul stands there looking between us.

"You were dumb enough to get pregnant? You both told me you weren't going to see each other anymore." Paul tells her and she tells him to stop talking.

"Paul what are you talking about?" I ask him and he looks at Tina. I can tell he's debating.

"Emmett Cullen, she's been cheating on you with Emmett Cullen." Paul tells me. I look at Tina in disgust.

"He's 17 Tina." The Cullens moved in about a year ago and the kids all became friends pretty quick. Emmett is just a year older than Paul, then they have a son named Edward, who is just a few months older than Bella, and a little girl who is a year younger than Bella. Paul and Emmett used to hang out a lot but then they suddenly stopped. I guess now I know why.

"You need to leave. I will get you a hotel room or something until you can find a job and a place to live. I will be filing for divorce." I tell her.

"I'm not leaving without my daughter."

"That's why I didn't tell you Josh. I'm sorry." Paul tells me.

"None of this is your fault. Take Bella back to Jared's. Don't say anything to her or Sam please. I will get this straightened out." I tell him and he yells upstairs for Bella to hurry up.

"If you end up in court you know I'm on your side right?" Paul asks me, I tell him yes I know.

As soon as Bella runs down the stairs Paul ushers her out the door. Once the door closes Tina starts screaming about how Bella is her daughter and I have no rights to her.
