So we're done with the pre-written chapters and we're on to the new ones! Thank you for everything and please continue to review as you have been!

Song for this chapter is "Story of Us" by my girl Taylor Swift.

"Oh, a simple complication…miscommunications lead to fallout, and there are so many things that I wish you knew."

I stared into my reflection in the mirror in my bathroom, deep in thought. For some reason, I didn't feel like myself. A lot had transpired in the last couple of days and unfortunately I was feeling weighed down by it.

Honestly, I didn't know what to think. I understood that Edward was trying to do what was right, especially after he had cheated on his wife. But I also think that he might be trying a little too hard. Because although it wasn't fair to Alice that Edward and I continued our relationship while they were still married, I think that Edward's plan to pay for everything and to give Alice whatever she wants is a little too unrealistic. Eventually, Alice is going to have to be able to support herself and a child.

But it's too soon for me to be getting any further into this. Alice and Edward seem to be on very rocky ground, like they are both unsure of everything coming their way. At this point, it's best for me to just let the two of them attempt to work some things out before I voice my opinions.

I sighed and turned away from the mirror, rubbing my forehead with the palm of my hand. It's only 6:30 in the evening, but I already feel exhausted. Edward is going to be coming over soon- usually I would fix dinner and clean up the place in anticipation of his arrival. However, today I'm feeling lazy and sleepy and I don't think that Edward will mind ordering takeout and spending a lazy night around my apartment.

My mind continues to race even as I lay down on the couch, hoping to get a few minutes of rest before Edward comes over. Eventually, though, I drift off to sleep and don't wake up until I feel Edward's lips gently caress the skin of my forehead.

"I'm sorry…I didn't mean to fall asleep." My voice is hoarse, and Edward smiled sweetly at me.

"It's alright, sweetheart. Why are you so tired?" He asked, giving me a proper hello kiss on the lips.

My smile faded slightly, and I shrug my shoulders. "Oh, you know…things are just a little tense lately. I've been thinking a lot."

Edward's smile faltered slightly, and his forehead creased. "About what? The baby? Because I don't want you to worry too much about it, okay? I'm going to get everything all settled out and it'll be fine. I think Alice knows that too, and I've been talking to my lawyer."

"What did your lawyer say?" I asked, perking up a bit. Hopefully, the lawyer would agree with my idea that Edward completely supporting Alice for the rest of her fucking life was ridiculous, even if she was the mother of his child.

"He said that I should be helping out more during the pregnancy and be giving full child support after the baby is born, but the alimony is going to work out a little differently than I thought. Alice isn't going to be able to be a stay at home single mother, even with the alimony she's getting. It's just going to be a lump sum divided over a couple of years, and that's it," Edward explained.

I relaxed instantly, slightly relieved on Edward's behalf. "Well that's good! Because honestly, it was a little ridiculous that you were willing to support her forever even though you're getting divorced and you're with me." I knew I was being blunt, but I just wanted to get to the point.

Edward nodded slowly, his eyes searching my face. "Yeah, that's true. I just…I feel guilty, Bella. I still do. I'm so happy that I found you and that you and I have this relationship, but I was so unfair to Alice, and even to you. I wronged both of you, and I don't know if I can actually set things right."

"Edward, I know that you're trying. Alice knows that you're trying. I think that for right now, that's all that matters. Don't wear yourself too thin, okay?"

I kissed him on the lips, loving the feel of his smile. "I love you, Bella. Thanks for being so understanding through all of this crap."

"I'm here for you, Edward. Just like you're here for me."

Whew I am falling asleep at the keyboard here…Jensen is in bed, and so are the kiddies, so I'm off to sleep too! Again, please continue to read and review!

Xoxo- Mel.
