Bella POV

One week later and the doctor gave me the all-clear so Jacob could go back home. Not that I didn't love having him here, but I was beginning to feel crowded with him always there when I turned around. I just wanted a little space. I had already dropped Nessie off for school and was getting ready to meet Edward for coffee. Originally, we had planned to meet at a little coffee shop a few blocks away, but then I realized that if I wanted to yell at him, I couldn't do it there. I changed plans on him, and now he was coming to the house for coffee. Maybe I was just an idiot.

I heard the doorbell and went downstairs. My bump had become very visible just within the last week, and it showed through everything I wore. I opened the door and motioned for Edward to come in. This was already weird and he wasn't even in the house yet.

"Good morning, Bella. You look nice," Edward said as we walked into the kitchen.

I turned toward him, hate clear in my eyes, "Shut up, Edward. I had a rough night and I'm not really in the mood for you. Just say what you wanted to say and leave."

Edward's face dropped slightly before I handed him a cup of coffee, black the way he likes it.

I led the way back into the living room and sat down on the couch, Edward sitting on the opposite side. "So what is so important, Edward?"

Edward took a sip of coffee, followed by a deep breath, before he answered me, "It's about the affair. You wanted to know everything, and I didn't want to tell you. Now I'm here. I'll tell you everything."

My eyes glazed over at his words. I had wanted to know, but this isn't what I was expecting this meeting with him to be about. "Just…just start from the beginning."

Edward set down the coffee and looked down at his hands as he started talking. "The first time was about a year ago. At Aro's studio. She was the client and I was writing a piece for her. I don't even know why I did it, Bella, but I did. I'm not making excuses for myself here. I came home, snapped at you, and showered. I'm so sorry I snapped at you."

I nodded, setting down my coffee. "That was the night I bought the lingerie for you."

Edward looked at me, tears in his eyes. "I know. I'm so sorry. I know that means nothing, but it's true. I'm an ass."

I nodded my agreement to him and motioned for him to continue.

"The next time didn't happen until months later. I had stopped meeting with her because I didn't want it to happen again. Aro called me to his office and cussed me out for refusing to finish her piece. You know Aro, Bella. He's nothing without his money, and I should've gotten away from him when I could have. He threatened me if I didn't finish that piece. So I started up on it again. A couple weeks later, we had that fight. You remember?"

My eyes weren't focused on anything as he spoke. Tears rolled down my eyes at his mention of that fight. That was one of the worst ones we had ever had in our marriage. I felt myself slip away from the conversation as the memory rolled over me.

"Dammit, Edward!" I yelled as I threw a pot at his head, which he of course dodged. "Why do you think I can just stop working? You want me to just sit here, with no contact to the outside world?"

Edward snarled at me and returned the yelling, "That would be better than you being off at all hours with that man!"

I laughed, deep and cruel, "That's just fucking perfect, Edward! You think I'm off sleeping with another man? I'm working on a book, you asshole. We meet with people and talk up my book. It's what we do!"

Edward got right in my face, speaking low, "How many fancy dinners does it take to talk up your book to one man, Isabella? One for every night of the week, just you and him? How many five star restaurants does it take? How many nights of being out until 1 AM? How many hung over mornings where I take our daughter to school because you can't handle the light? Just how many?"

I took a step back and my hand made contact with his cheek before I even realized that I was going to slap my husband. My jaw dropped and I felt the tears well up, "I'm sorry."

Edward's eyes glazed over as he looked at me, my hand still suspended in the air between us. He didn't say a word as he grabbed his jacket and walked out the door.

I didn't speak to him until the next night when he returned home.

I wiped away a stray tear and whispered to him, "I never slept with that man, Edward. I have never been a cheater."

"I know, Bella. I was angry and guilty of what I had done. I know that you're better than that."

I looked at him then and saw how tired his face really was. "You went and slept with her when you walked out of the house, didn't you?"

Edward didn't look at me as he nodded, confirming my thoughts. I leaned my head back against the couch, closing my eyes. "Okay…go on."

"There was only one other time. I had been at the studio, working on the piece. I knew if I could just get it finished up quickly, I wouldn't have to see her anymore. I could get Aro his money and I wouldn't go back. He would have made enough off of me. So I worked around the clock for awhile. That's why I was coming home so late for a couple weeks. I was at the studio working. I had fallen asleep sitting in my chair at the studio that night. I woke up and she was there…And well…That was the last time."

I looked at Edward's discomfort and couldn't feel anything except for hate from this man. "I want to know. Tell me what happened."

Edward's jaw dropped as he looked at me, "What? Bella, you don't want to know that."

I held his gaze, challenging him, "I want to know what your reason is for that last time. The first time she was dressed like a slut, the second you were mad at me, and so the third? I want to know everything."

Edward looked back down at his hands. "I was asleep in the chair. I woke up with her lips wrapped around my cock. I pushed her off and told her that she needed to leave. She didn't though. I told her it was done. She had on a robe, nothing underneath. Then she was on my lap and I went with it. I didn't stop her. She gave me a condom, like she had every other time."

I stood up and walked into the kitchen, tears running freely by this point. I had wanted to know, and he told me everything I needed to know. I wrapped my arms around myself, feeling like my heart was jumping out of my chest. Three times. We could have worked through three times. Couples work through three times. Even if she's pregnant. People work through that. Right? We could have…

I fell to my knees, sobs wracking my body. I could hear Edward's footsteps as he came into the kitchen. I felt him kneel down beside me and I didn't know if I wanted his touch or not. I loved him so much. I hate him now. He broke me. I felt his hand cautiously touch my shoulder, and I gave up, collapsing into him.

Edward POV

My eyes followed Bella as she walked into the kitchen, arms wrapped around herself. I knew this was hard on her, but she had wanted to know. I also know at this stage of pregnancy, her hormones are going crazy and causing more crying than she would normally show in front of me. When she fell to the floor, I couldn't help myself. I had to go to her.

I knelt beside her and wanted nothing more than to take her into my arms, but I know that she wouldn't want that. My heart broke seeing her there, completely torn and hurt. I reached out, cautiously, not sure what she would do. I placed my hand on her shoulder, and then she was curled into me.

Bella buried her head in the spot between my shoulder and neck; her hands fisted in my shirt. I wrapped both of my arms around her, holding Bella tight against my chest. I could hear her mumbling against my skin and I leaned my head closer to hear what she was saying.

Tears filled my eyes when I heard the words she was speaking against my shoulder. "I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you."

"I know you do, Bella. I know this is nothing, right now. I know."

I don't know how long we sat there in the kitchen, folded around each other. Eventually her sobs subsided and her hands went slack against my chest. I moved back slightly and noticed that she had fallen asleep. I stood, carefully picking her up. I didn't want to jostle her too much and wake her up as I walked upstairs to the bedroom.

I gently laid her down on the bed, pulling the covers back to cover her up. Bella always got cold in her sleep. I stood to leave and paused, watching her sleep. I moved a chair over beside the bed and sat down, head in my hands as I watched her. I slowly reached out and brushed her hair from her face, tucking it behind her ear. The tears fell over as I realized this would be the last time that I saw her like this. So calm and at peace in sleep. I stood, brushing a light kiss against her cheek, forehead, and nose before turning to leave the house…her house now.

Bella POV

I woke up and looked over at the clock. 1:45. I had time before Nessie was out of school. I sat up in the bed, looking around me. I couldn't believe I fell asleep on him. He must have brought me all the way up here and put me in bed. I'm so fucking stupid.

I rolled over and looked at my phone to find a text from Jacob. Hey Bells. Just wanted to see how everything went this morning. Give me a call? -Jake

I dialed the number and prayed that he picked up before I chickened out. I need to just get Edward away from my mind. I need something, someone, to make me think about anything else. "Jake? Is there any way you could come over right now?"

Please review! I love hearing from everyone.
