IMPORTANT AUTHORS NOTE PLEASE READ

Authors Note: I would like to ask someone, if they could possibly do it, if anyone would be able to make a banner for my story? I'm not entirely sure how to do something like that, and if anyone would be willing I would be very thankful to you. If you do make one, please just let me know and I will defiantly be thanking you in my next update :]

I know a lot of people think that this story is going to turn out the way all my other ones do, that Bella and Edward are going to live happily ever after with minimal problems after the big problem occurs. But I'm trying something different, from now until the end of the story there are going to be a lot of cliff hangers, you aren't going to know that's coming next, and there are going to be a lot of surprises from now until the end. This isn't going to turn out the way you think it is, and I hope that you don't stop reading, but if this turns out the way I think it is, there is most defiantly going to be a sequel in the midst.

Bella Swan

Pregnant, I was pregnant, how in the world was I pregnant? Wait, don't answer that question I know how it happened, I just, I want to know when. Wait, I know the answer to that question too, and I'm not even going to ask who it was with because you guessed it, I know the answer to that as well. I had met him back in August, at Logan's birthday party. He had been visiting Jake and Olivia from Jake's home town at the time, and since Logan's party was at the arena he had come with Jake who obviously owned the place. I had been skating around the rink supervising the other kids when I turned around quickly and ran into him.

He introduced himself to me, and talked during the party, but never exchanged numbers. A few days later, well I don't know if it was by chance, or on purpose, but he came into the café and we just started talking. After that, we went out on a couple days, and he was the first guy that I dated since Edward, he was the first guy I could call my boyfriend, and after a fight at the end of November he went back to Washington and I stayed here. We had slept together only once, and it wasn't something that we planned to happen, it was spur of the moment after a romantic evening, and we both knew it shouldn't have happened, but we didn't speak of it, and then things ended.

I wiped a tear that was falling down my cheek and looked out the window, I hated to be in this position again, apparently I never learned from my mistakes, and surprise pregnancies were just something I was going to have to get used to. This pregnancy was just another reason how I wasn't a good mother, not only was I shuffling him from one relationship to the other, but now I was going to have another child, this wasn't just a relationship, this baby was here for good, there was no changing what was happening, this was something I had to figure out. I couldn't keep getting into relationships that weren't going to last, the two relationships I had, had only lasted a couple of months before we broke up and I later found out I was pregnant. I needed to figure out my life, and I needed to figure it out soon.

I had asked Alice to take Logan to tonight while I could figure out what was going on with my life, I needed to know what was happening, and as I stared out the window at the café, sitting in the dark, this was going to be a mess, a big mess and I wasn't sure that I knew how to handle it. I pulled my cell phone out of my pocket and dialed the number I knew by heart. I hadn't talked to Paul since we broke up at the end of November and I knew that it wasn't going to be easy, Seattle was three hours behind Hoboken and I knew that right now he would be at work, and I just hoped that he wouldn't be to angry to talk to me.

I dialed the number as my hands shook, and when it started ringing I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. When the first ring passed I closed my eyes, the second ring I breathed in, the third I hoped that maybe just leaving a message would be easier, but when he answered on the forth, I was SOL. "Bella is that you?" he asked hurriedly as he answered.

"Yeah, it is" I answered quietly.

"How are you? I mean how is everything down there? I was thinking about calling you, but I wasn't sure if you wanted to, that night was pretty, well hec-"

"I'm pregnant" I blurted out not able to contain it anymore.

"What? Is it mine, are you sure?"

"I'm 100% positive, and yes it's yours Paul. I'm three months along" I said looking down at the floor with tears falling down my face. "You have been the only person I've had sex with until a month ago, it's your baby Paul." I said again.

"Well what do you want to do?" he asked me and I knew that he was asking if I wanted to keep the baby or not. "I talked to Jake a couple days ago, and he mentioned that you were back with Logan's father, he also said that Logan got hurt in a game, is everything okay?"

"I want to keep the baby Paul; I can't get rid of it. I didn't with Logan, and I won't with this one. I just, I want you to be in this baby's life, I don't want to do it alone again. I don't know what is going to happen between Edward and me, but I know that I want you here helping me with your son or daughter." I said before answering his next questions "And for Logan, well he's going to be fine. Some kid was trying to impress his snooty stuck up mother and checked Logan when he didn't even have the puck, somehow this kid hit him hard enough and he was able to get a clean break to his right radius. Carlisle was at the rink, so he went into the ambulance with Logan, and when we got to the hospital Carlisle set the bone. He's in a cast for eight weeks and then depending on how the heeling process he is he might need physical therapy to re-strengthen his arm."

Even though I could talk to Edward about all of this it was defiantly nice to talk to someone else about everything that was going on. Paul and I were together for a little more than three months, but those were honestly some of the happiest times of my life, and to talk to him again, even though we had to deal with another SURPRISE, I'm pregnant, I was happy to talk to him.

"Bella, I know that Jake hasn't told you what I'm about to tell you, because I asked him not to, I wanted to tell you on my own, I wanted to be the one to tell you. My firm in Seattle is opening a branch in Newark, and my boss asked me to go and head up the department. It would be a permanent move, and I would be able to get a house at least somewhere near you so I could help out with the baby as much as I possibly could. I'm not leaving you in this alone Bella, we're in this together." He said right as Alice and Logan walked through the door to the café.

"Can I call you later Paul, Logan and Alice just walked in" I said quietly hoping that they didn't hear.

"Of course baby, call me when you get a chance." He said before hanging up the phone as I watched Logan run behind the counter to get a cookie.

The moment I looked at Alice I knew that she had heard me say Paul's name at the end, and I knew that she knew something was up. I would never call an ex-boyfriend out of the blue unless there was something wrong. She quickly made sure that Logan was out of ear shot before she came to sit next to me. "Paul, Bella? What the hell is going on, you two haven't talked in months and now all of a sudden you're talking to him on the phone and crying? What's happening to you, I mean first everything seems to be going fine with you and Paul and then you break up, then Edward comes into the picture and magically you're with him, and now you're on the phone with Paul again, meanwhile you're still in a relationship with Edward? What's going on with you these days, we don't talk at all, and I feel like I don't even know you anymore."

"Dammitt Alice, I'm pregnant and the baby is Paul's. I had to call Paul to tell him that he's going to be a father; I'm not having another Edward moment where he doesn't come into the picture for another six years. And as for Edward, well that relationship is going to the dogs, we haven't told Logan yet, but Edward's deal with the Devils fell threw. Lamoriello never talked to anyone about having Edward transfer and the team doesn't want to rework everything so close to the playoff's, so he's stuck in Pittsburgh until his contract runs out, and he'll be in his thirties when it does. I can't move my entire life to suit Edward's career, I have my own career to think about, and our son's schooling." I said remembering that conversation.

Flashback

Ring, Ring, Ring, "Hey, Edward how are you?" I asked as I answered the phone with a smile on my face.

"Uh, um, Okay? How's Logan doing?" he asked me and I rolled my eyes.

"A mix of different emotions, he hates that he won't be able to play the rest of his season, he loves all the attention he's getting from having a cool cast on, and he hates how itchy his arm gets, and the fact that I won't let him stick a pencil down there to scratch it. But he's doing really well, he's excited that he won't have to miss hockey to come and see you, and the fact that you will be moving up here with us soon." I smiled on the other side of the phone.

"I actually have to talk to you about that. You see when I got back to Pittsburgh I found out that Lamoriello contacted Bylsma and told him that the Devils were no longer going to be able to take me on. We never signed anything or got a written agreement, so the word of mouth means nothing, he could completely deny it, and if we took him to court we would never win. I can't move to Jersey Bella, I have to stay here and play out the rest of my contract." He said and my jaw literally dropped.

"So what does that mean for us? You've apparently already made the decision to stay there without even talking to me about it, what happens now?" I was severely angry, he had gone ahead and made a huge decision with out me. A decision that we should have sat down and talked about, where we could have made a decision together, on what is best for our son, not just him and his thoughts without even thinking about us. "We should have done this together Edward, did you even think about Logan and me?"

"Of course I thought about the two of you Bella!" he said pausing a minute before he went on. "We only had to wait out until the end of my contract, I only have a few years left, and until then I have room enough in my apartment for you and Logan. The two of you can move down here until my contract is up, and then we can move back to Jersey like we were supposed to, it's a win for everyone." He said while I was literally dumbfounded, had he seriously thought that it was a win for everyone?

"No Edward, that's not a win for everyone, it's a win for you. You get to stay all cozy in the apartment you've lived in for years, you get to stay with the team you love and all your friends while Logan and I have to leave everything we know behind. You get to keep your life, your career, and everything only to gain a girlfriend who sits around and does nothing all day, and a son who has to leave all his friends behind to start over somewhere else, then in another couple years he would have to start over again when we move back. And as a matter of fact your contract doesn't run out in another couple years, they just signed you for another five years before this seasons started, you would be in your thirties, and Logan would be going in to seventh grade, no Edward we're not moving there." I said and he didn't say anything.

"You could get a job here Bella, and Logan would be fine with it."

"No Edward he wouldn't, he would be leaving behind his best friend that he's known since he's a baby, I would leave behind my business, and all my friends, and we would have to adjust to your lifestyle. This isn't happening Edward, I can't believe you made a decision like this without consulting me."

"Dammitt Bella, I'm not quitting my job so I can move down there and play house." He yelled at the top of my lungs and I stopped everything and just stood there for a moment as tears welled in my eyes.

"Then I'll talk to my lawyer and have a custody agreement drawn up, we'll talk about this more when we get to Pittsburgh." I said as tears poured down my cheeks, hanging up the phone as I heard,

"No, Bella, please don't hang up" but hanging up was the only thing I could do before I burst out in tears, I had really hoped this was going to work, but I don't think it was going too.

End flashback

It was easy to say that the conversation hadn't gone the best, and I had only talk to Edward once since the fight, and it was on his part to make sure that we were still coming to Pittsburgh to see him. I wasn't going to back out of that, because if things went the way I think they were going to when I told Edward that I was pregnant with Paul's kid it would be a while before they got to see each other again. Like I had told Edward I had already talked to my lawyer about drawing up a suitable custody agreement, and to change Logan's last name to Masen. Edward deserved that much of his son, and I knew that Logan wanted it as well, and if they couldn't be together all the time, maybe it was best for him to have his father's last name.

After this weekend, if Edward and I still happened to be on speaking terms I hoped that this agreement would work out, and as I told Alice about it I hoped she would agree. "Logan would live with me all year round, and would stay with Edward every summer until Logan decides he doesn't want to. If Edward wants he can come stay at the house with us at Christmas time so he could be with us then, and every spring break Logan would go to stay with him at that time as well." I said to her and she looked at me. "I think it's reasonable, he would get to see him often enough, and he doesn't have to limit himself to those times, he would be able to see him whenever he's in Jersey for a game, and he can make changes, I just, this isn't going to work out Alice." I said looked at her and she nodded.

"Bella, if Edward got that mad on the phone after you telling him that you aren't going to move there, what's going to happen when you hand the custody agreement to him, or when you tell him that you're pregnant with another man's baby. Granted the two of you weren't together at the time, but he isn't going to take it well, I just don't want him to turn around, and do something that he's going to regret." She said and I looked at her confused. "Bella, he has all the money in the world, he can get a good lawyer, and if you piss him off enough he can turn this into a full blown custody battle, he can try and take Logan away from you. I was right about Emmett keeping the letter from Edward before, I don't want to be right about this, just tell him gently." She said and I nodded.

I hadn't thought about what would happen if Edward did get pissed when I handed him the agreement, and I knew at least a little that he wasn't going to take me having a baby with Paul well. I hoped that Edward wasn't malicious enough to try and take custody of his son, and if he ever did he could defiantly afford a better lawyer than I could. Even though mothers usually won the majority of custody cases I knew if he talked to enough people, and said enough things correctly in the way he did when he wanted something he would win custody. He could try and say that I kept our son from him for the first five years of his life, that just recently he found us, and I didn't want him in the picture but reluctantly agreed, even though that wasn't what happened at all; but who would believe me when the big shot hockey player is talking. And if he ever brought Paul into this he could turn it to seem like it was an even worse situation, saying that I slept with whoever came my way, and I was a bad influence on my son by bringing all those people around. I didn't want that to happen and I hoped that I wouldn't be I didn't know what kind of person Edward was no and I hoped that he doesn't the type of person my imagination made him out to be.

Logan and I arrived in Pittsburgh the next day around noon, stopping at the arena where Edward told us to meet him. Logan was excited to see the stadium, and I was nervous to talk to Edward about everything, and to give him the agreement, to see his reaction. We were shuffled inside by one of the teams owner and showed us to where Edward happened to be, which was in the middle of the locker room where all the weight lifting equipment was, with the entire team. "DAD!" Logan yelled the moment he saw Edward, taking off at top speed at him.

"Hey buddy how's the arm?" he asked picking Logan up with a gigantic smile on his face as I hung back, leaning against the door frame.

"It's totally wicked! All the kids at school are jealous because I don't have to play in gym and they do! Mom even said that they can sign my cast, and most of my friends have, but it sucks that I can't finish the season with Alex. Did mom tell you that the kid who broke my arm came to the house a couple days ago with his little sister and babysitter and apologized to me, he was wicked nice, and he said he didn't mean to do it, did mom tell you that?" he asked Edward and he shook his head.

"No, she didn't mentioned that." he said looking at me and I looked down at the floor.

"Logan!" I called as he turned to look at me. "Why don't we go settle into the hotel and let your dad finish practice? We can meet him for dinner." I said and Edward looked at me.

"Hotel, I thought you were staying at my apartment." Edward said

"I think it's best if the two of us stay at the hotel I booked for the weekend Edward."

"Bella, come on, you know I didn't mean what I said." He said now coming over to stand in front of me after putting Logan down who was now talking to Sidney.

"No Edward, I don't know that, and don't do this here."

"Do what Bella? We obviously have something we need to talk about, why not do it here, you afraid?" he taunted me and I glared at him, this defiantly wasn't the Edward I knew, and this defiantly wasn't the Edward that I wanted to see, changed or not, this was a completely different person. "Come on, lets talk about it here, Logan can stay in here while we talk."

"No Edward, we're going to do this some place else, at a different time when it's just the two of us. Logan come on let's go." I called out, now angry at Edward.

"No, we're talking about it now. Have you given any thought to what I said, to moving down here?" he asked as Logan came to stand next to me, and looked up as his father said that.

"We're moving away from Nana and Pop and Alex and Auntie Rosie and Auntie Alice and Ryan?" Logan asked me and I looked at Edward pointedly before kneeling to Logan's level sweeping the hair out of his eyes.

"No buddy we're not, we're staying it Hoboken where you can play hockey with your friends, and where we can see Nana and Pop and everyone else as much as you want to. You're dad isn't though, he has to stay here for a little while longer." I said and he looked at Edward.

"Why not, I thought he was going to play for the Devils and come to live with us."

"Something happened and now he can't, but I promise you're going to see your dad as much as you possibly can bud."

"Oh"

The entire time I spoke to Logan I could feel everyone's eyes on my back, like they were analyzing every word I spoke, like I was some kind of horrible person. I stood up and looked Edward directly in the eyes, "I told you not to do this here, can't you listen to a word anyone says?" I asked harshly and his eyes raised,

"Oh, and you can? Jesus Bella, you're so fucking hypocritical? Talking about how you want us to be a happy family, and then refusing to move here when something falls through, everything can't be your way." He yelled at me as I turned to remove our son from the building before things escalated, but apparently I was too late.

"I'm not giving up everything I worked for to move here Edward; I can't just up and leave, not now." I said dancing around what I hoped to tell him later this evening.

"Why, because Rose needs you, other people need you? She isn't a fragile flower Bella, she's pregnant, and Ryan can take care of her, after all he is the father of the babies, and her fiancé." He said and I turned around looking at him my eyes glaring.

"No Edward, because I'm pregnant" I said and he stopped his eyes wide, "before you worry about it, it's not your baby. I was in a relationship before you came to Hoboken, it broke off only a few weeks before you got there, and now I'm pregnant. I had already told you I wasn't leaving because Logan loves it there, and I have business to take care of, I wasn't putting my life on hold for you. Now I have a reason to stay there, I told you Edward we're not leaving, and clearly Logan doesn't want to either." I yelled back at him as Logan shuffled over to me, now hiding behind me, clearly afraid of the person Edward was becoming.

"So the little slut strikes again, tying another man down with another child she can't take care of. It'd probably be best if you got an abortion, I mean apparently you just sleep with anyone and forget what protection is called. Two children, two different parents, congratulations Bella, you've achieved slut status." He spoke back venomously and before I knew what was happening I flew forward and slapped him across the face before speaking to him in a low tone.

"So I'm a little slut because I slept with people I loved? Fuck you Edward, and you're entire life, there is clearly something wrong with you because you aren't the person I fell in love with. It's a good thing I'm not moving here because I could never be with someone like you." I spoke taking Logan's hand and turning to walk out the door, "I hope you have a good evening gentleman" I said tipping and invisible hat to the rest of the team before he spoke again.

"You won't be so smug when I get done with you Swan; you better take a good long look at what you have because it won't be there for much longer." He spoke slowly and clearly. I stopped quickly before swallowing and reaching down to pick Logan up cradling him in my arms before walking out the door, the entire locker room silent behind me.

"Mommy, what's did he mean?" Logan asked me as I buckled his booster seat, his small hand reaching up to wipe my tears away.

"It means that he wants to take you away from me, that he would go through a bunch of people to make them say that you got to live with him, instead of me." I said trying to put it in terms a five year old would understand.

"But I don't want to go live with him, I want to stay with you, he's mean and he wants to take me away from Nana and Pop and everyone else, I don't want to go." He said starting to cry and I shook my head.

"You don't have to buddy, you're staying right with me, I'll make sure of it." And I would, I would do anything that took to make sure that my son never left me to live with him.
