*A.N* Why hello there! My name is Jocelyn since you all have probably forgotten by now. I am really sorry for how long it has taken to write this chapter-I hope those of you who still read this story will forgive me. Today all of a sudden I just grabbed my laptop and decided to write. Its literally been so long that its embarrassing. I hope you enjoy and understand this chapter, I feel like if I could never put this into words but I needed to write this to continue the story in the direction I wanted. Hopefully it makes sense. Next chapter, I think is going to be in another P.O.V and maybe unexpected. But I just want things to sorta start connecting as best as they can. Hopefully, I didn't have to many typos and stuff, I really just wanted to go ahead and sleep and put this out there since i started writing at 7 and it is now 12:30. Please enjoy and I hope to write again soon. Sorry about all the times I wrote 'hope'. Im a very hopeful person, haha. Ok now on with this unedited raw chapter that I may edit later. Please FOLLOW, REVEIW, AND I forgot the last one. Oops, Goodnight!***

Chapter 20

I stared at the bouquet of flowers intently, not knowing where else to look. It wasn't really a bad thing in the end, the flowers were beautiful, definitely something Alice would love. I quickly glanced up at the bouquet Tanya had in her hands and rolled my eyes.

"I don't think those are really Alice's taste…" I said to her.

She nodded. "Oh, I know. I was thinking they would be perfect for my wedding with Edward though, don't you think?"

She held them up, admiring them.

"Actually no, he hates that color not to mention that type of flower. Say's it very cheap looking, just saying. Oh-hey Alice." I told her as Alice walked in. I was smiling at Alice but could practically feel Tanya staring at me so intensely that if looks could kill I would be dead.

As Alice's best friend I was the maid of honor, but since Tanya had known her since she was a little girl, Esme made her make Tanya part of the wedding planning.

"Hey guys! Sorry I'm late, I got caught up doing some things at work. But wow, I don't think there is really any point of me being here, that bouquet is beautiful Bella! " Alice said as she took it out of my hands and held it. "What do you think?"

She started humming the Wedding March and walking slowly forward.

I laughed. "You look beautiful, obviously. Very bride-esque."

I quickly glanced at Tanya and saw her role her eyes.

Everything she did annoyed me. I realized I seriously hated that bitch.

After a couple of hours of rigorous wedding planning, we had a lot of things ready for the upcoming nuptials. As Alice put it, the sooner the wedding the sooner she could spend the rest of her life with the love of her life.

As Alice was paying, I was left yet again alone with Tanya.

The whole time we were planning, Tanya would only speak when talked to directly by Alice. When I were to say anything she'd completely ignore me. Alice would notice but didn't really say anything. I felt horrible about the tension we were causing, so I decided to try and make things a bit better.

"So, I think for everyones sake, we should try to get along. So, I want to apologize for everything that has happen between us. Hopefully we can put all the bad things behind us " I told Tanya with a sigh. It was time that I played the bigger person role even though I couldn't stand her. In the end, she was sorta Mason's stepmother, and maybe having a good relationship with her wouldn't be such a bad thing. I had seen it done before…on T.V. but still it was worth a shot.

"To be completely honest, I don't want anything to do with you or your bastard. For 'everyones sake' you should have just stayed out of our lives; things were going great between me and Edward before you and your stupid little boy came into our lives. I hate you, I don't know if you can tell but I really do. So stop pretending like if you want to become bff's when I know you are actually looking for a way to get Edward, the person who I am expecting a baby with back." She said harshly.

I was shocked. Not even for a second could she be nice. I was over here trying to mend things between the both of us, but she didn't care. Angry, I didn't really think about what I was going to say next.

"I doubt that if a relationship is doing good, someone has to fake a pregnancy to keep their partner around. You were screwed way before I came along. So don't go bringing my child who has never done anything to you into this. I was scared to say anything before because I didn't want your baby to be fatherless, like mine was until now, but there isn't even a baby at all just a fake baby bump so be careful. Tell Edward the truth before I tell him, and don't doubt that I will. You ruined our chance at happiness the moments before Mason was born so believe me when I say I will have no remorse when it comes to telling him the truth."

I got up and walked out the door, not even looking back at Tanya. I didn't know what had gotten into me. I just couldn't sit around and let her get away with everything that she had done. At that moment I realized that it was Tanya who had answered the phone the day I gave birth to Mason. She lied, saying that Edward didn't want to speak to me because she knew I was pregnant and it would ruin any chance she had with him. From the very beginning she tried to keep me and Edward separated and because of that I was ready to fight fire with fire. Even if I could get burned.
