The Confrontation
EPOV
I truly thought her aversion to me was that I was someone new to her life and she was just being a bit leery and I almost believed that when I immediately witness her first interaction with Alice. However as the day proceeded I saw her bond and acted so carefree with Emmett. I'll be the first to admit I'm completely jealous of the interactions between them.
With Emmett she was laughing and sharing her interest of sports and cars; however even though it was not me bring out this side to her I was pleased to see it. She did not even mind when I sat down next to her to listen to the stories as she told Emmett about her hobbies.
However her moment of comfort with me near her and her openness was ruined as soon as Alice opened her damn mouth about Ashley's hobbies "Well now we'll just have to change that no niece of mine is going to get dirty"
I certainly thought Ashley would withdraw within herself and refuse to talk for the rest of the day but her next few comments showed me she has her mother's fire in her. "What's wrong with me liking to play sports or fixing cars?"
Alice had raised her voice in an extremely annoying manner when she responded "But you're a girl"
Ashley just shrugged her shoulders and smiled that same smile she used on me this morning before putting Alice in her place. "Auntie Rose is a girl and she fixes cars plus she also play sports as well also mommy says whining is for babies."
Note to self: that smile is not so innocent
Alice most certainly was please by Ashley's comment while Emmett laughed extremely loud muttered something about Alice getting schooled by a child and Esme just said something along the lines of "kids just say the craziest things."
Things were pretty tense afterwards until AJ mention he knew how to play the piano and Esme ask him to play for her.
AJ ended up playing chopsticks and I just closed my eyes getting lost in his playing. Just when I thought things were going to get comfortable again I was pulled out of the serene state AJ playing put me in by the one voice I definitely did not expect to hear today especially with AJ and Ashley here.
Tanya FUCK not that I'm not happy to hear her voice but her being her is not good for many reasons. One being I did not want to just spring her appearance into the kids lives; I wanted to do that gradually and second because it was the one thing Bella had ask me not to do.
"Edward whatever it was you played play again"
I saw both Ashley and AJ look at Tanya warily as I approach to greet her.
"Tanya Baby what are you doing here?"
"Well after last night Edward I just wanted to come and apologize for my behavior and……" she ended up cutting herself off when she saw Ashley and AJ.
"Oh Edward, who are these little darlings?"
"Well Tanya these are my children Ashley and Anthony" So emotion flash across her face before and was gone immediately before I can even read it.
Tanya just continued to look between them and myself before she ended up going over to the piano to greet AJ.
When I saw that she was trying to approach Ashley I was about to tell her about to warn her about Ashley's aversion to being touch but it was too late.
When Tanya did not get the hint when Ashley moved away from her embrace things seriously hit the fucking fan.
Tanya continued trying to approach Ashley and at first Ashley was being fairly calm about all of this but suddenly Ashley just snapped at her "STOP TRYING TO TOUCH ME I DO NOT LIKE BEING TOUCHED BY STRANGERS"
Tanya got down on her knees smiled at Ashley before leaning in and whispering something to her.
I seriously did not know what Tanya whispered but I saw Ashley curl her tiny hands in fist before she marched over me shouting "I DO NOT WANT A NEW MOMMY" and demanding that she wants to go home now.
This whole situation was pissing me the fuck off because this is not how I wanted today to go, nor how I wanted them to meet Tanya this way and then Alice came over to me whispered to me "If you continue to let her talk look that to adults she's just going to continue to walk all over you."
For a moment I thought what Alice said made sense because so I decided to take action upon Ashley's rude behavior. "Ashley, enough stop being so rude. Why you don't go sit down in the corner over there on a time out."
Ashley looked at like I had just slapped her and I immediately regretted my words when I saw the tears well up in her eyes.
Ashley continued to look up at me and shook her head before speaking "No I want to go home and if you don't take me I'm calling mom."
FUCK……
IT'S FUCKING OFFICIAL MY DAUGTHER FUCKING HATES ME!
Esme looked at me with disapproving eyes before reaching out her hand to Ashley before asking her to come with her.
Emmett got up and walked over to AJ saying "Why do you come with me out to the backyard little man"
AJ looked into the direction where Ashley disappeared with Esme before nodding his head and following Emmett outside.
Carlisle got up saying he's going to check on Ashley and Esme.
Leaving just Alice, Tanya and I in the living room.
"What the hell did you say to her to cause her to react like that Tanya and for the love of everything that's holy I hope you did not say what I THINK YOU FUCKING SAID"
"But Tanya just shrugged her shoulders and say you know how kids overreact to the slightest thing; besides I would not be surprise if her behavior is an effect of her drug addict mother."
"Tanya that's totally uncalled for you to judge Bella like that especially"… But Alice cut me off
"Edward I will not go as far as Tanya about being a drug addict but seriously Ashley's behavior is blatantly rude and uncalled for; and I cannot help but to wonder if it's because of Bella's influence."
"Alice what exactly are you getting at?"
"I'm just saying that maybe you should think of what's in the best interest of those kids and I hate to say this but if you ever want a relationship with Ashley as open as she was with Emmett you're gonna have to take some action."
I let Alice words sink in because that cut me too fucking deep because Ashley was fonder of Emmett than she was of me. I was pulled out my reverie by the door bell ringing.
To say I was shock to see a very livid Bella at my door would be the biggest fucking understatement ever.
"Bella what are you doing here?"
Bella just shook her head at me before speaking "Oh I do not know EDWARD maybe I'm here because I do not appreciate the frantic call I got from my daughter and I expected so much more from you Edward how could you?"
"Why don't you come in and we can discuss this more rationally"
"Rationally Edward really where the fuck was that compassion when you put your daughter on a god damn time out for speaking her mind when your fiancée spoke ill to Ashley. And speaking of which what the fuck she is doing here when that was the one thing I ask you not to do at this damn moment."
Before I could ever respond Ashley came bounding into her mother's arms "Mommy you came"
Bella masked her anger and scooted Ashley into her arms "Oh course I came angel"
I went to rub Ashley's back while she was in Bella's arms and Bella shot me a murderous glare.
Bella followed me into the living room and I told her AJ was out back with Emmett. Bella just nodded her head in understanding before handing Ashley over to Rosalie.
"Angel why don't you go out back with Auntie Rose."
I sighed once Rosalie and Ashley where out of sight, this was truly how I did not envision today happening.
"Bella before you…"
"No save it Edward. I going to speak my mind and if any of you do not like it quite frankly you can all just kiss my ass because I don't give a fuck the only people I give a damn about is in that backyard and one of them is extremely hurt. Alice my daughter is entitle to her own opinion, interest and hobbies which means she's not your god damn mini-me."
Alice cut in on Bella's ranting "Aren't being a tad bit harsh?"
Bella just through her hands in the air "Harsh Alice is you trying to change her interest and whispering to Edward that he needs to discipline Ashley."
I looked at Bella as she said that
"Yes Edward Ashley heard that and why the hell did you even listen to Alice bullshit. You out of everyone should understand where Ashley was coming from when she lashed out on Blondie over there."
"Bella calling Tanya names is uncalled for?
"No Edward what's uncalled for is that witch of a fiancée telling Ashley she's going to be her new mother. Did you know when Ashley called me she asked me if I did not love her anymore because of what that bitch said.
Come on Edward you've been in Ashley's place before when it comes to feelings like that because to this day you still cannot call Esme and Carlisle mom and dad because you feel it's betraying your dead parents memory. Now put yourself in Ashley's Edward I'M STILL FUCKING ALIVE SO SHE'LL THINK I DO NOT WANT HER.
I know you're new to the whole parenting thing but the stuff that went one today can end up scaring Ashley"
Tanya was quiet this whole time finally spoke up
"And whose fault is that he's new to this whole parenting thing huh? Had you've been honest from the beginning with Edward this all could be avoided so do not come in her with you high and mighty attitude trying to be all self-righteous with us. Hell I really hope Edward listens to me and get a paternity test because I bet your nothing but a common whore.
Tanya did not even get to finish and even thing just happened so fast because the only sound that was heard was Bella hand connecting onto Tanya's face and Bella muttering something about "This was a big mistake" before rushing outside to gather the kids.
I just sat there dumb wondering what Bella thought was a big mistake and prayed to god she did not mean me getting to know my kids.
Bella came back in shortly with Ashley in her arms and AJ following behind her with Emmett and Rosalie in tow.
"Bella Please don't leave things like this"
Bella just shook her head and said "If I saw anything right now to you I'm going to regret so please let it be. I'll give you a call during the week."
And she left without even letting the kids said goodbye to me
FUCKKKKKK
