Tick, tick, tick.
The sound of the clock was deafening as I waited in the waiting room for news of Bella. They had taken the baby to the nursery. It had been nearly two hours, I was beginning to fear the worst and it was ripping me part. I finally sat down, exhausted.
"Edward," Carlisle came out, his smile lightening my dread considerably, "She has been in recovery for about an hour, we stopped the bleeding and gave her some blood but she will be fine. We have her room waiting, go there now and she should be in shortly."
I let a breath I didn't realize I was holding, out.
Jake was in her room, I wouldn't make him leave, he had every right to be here, but so did I . We sat on opposite sides of the room, glaring at each other.
"Charlie will be here soon," Jake said, "he thinks the baby is mine."
"Well, it should be obvious once he sees Gabriel that he isn't," I growled.
"Yea, this was the part Bells and I hadn't worked out yet," he shrugged.
When he referred to Bella as Bells, my skin crawled, I couldn't stand to think they may have been intimate, though I'm sure they had been.
A man walked into the room, he was tall, a medium build, dark hair, dark mustache, and in a sheriff's uniform. He must be Charlie.
"Jake," he nodded to Black, "Who's that?"
I stood, "My name is Edward Masen, I was a friend of your daughter while she lived in Chicago, I'm Esme's nephew."
"Oh," he said, in a knowing fashion, "I remember you. You stayed her one summer, when.."
"My mother died," I finished for him.
Didn't anyone in this little town not know about that?
"Bella should be here shortly, as well as Gabriel," my lips involuntarily smiled proudly with the mention of my son.
"Ok," Charlie made a face.
The three of us created a tension in the room that could have been cut by a knife. I fidgeted, when would this be over?That's when they brought Bella back into the room followed shortly behind by Gabriel. It took everything I had not to snatch up my child and take him to Bella, but I didn't know how strongly Bella wanted to cling to the charade she had constructed here. So I waited casually, watching Charlie put it together on his own.
Jake picked up Gabriel, which made my blood boil, and took him to Bella. I watched as Charlie looked from the baby, to Jake, to me, seeing the spark of recognition in his eyes. I moved to sit on the other side of Bella.
Waiting.

I was still very tired, I guess losing blood will do that to a person. I just wanted to see my son. To hold him, smell him, kiss him. I didn't expect to be wheeled into the most awkward situation of my life.
I watched as Charlie looked from Gabe , to Jake, then to Edward. He knew. He knew I had lied. This was not going to end well. Jake brought Gabe to me, once he was in my arms, all was righ with the world.
His eyes were blue, like all babies, but his hair, oh his hair was Edward's. The mop of it stuck up every which direction in the wondrous bronze. He had Edward's nose and lips, I nuzzled his cheeks, loving the feel of his soft skin, he grunted a little. I began to cry.
"Aw Bells," Charlie said, wiping at his own face.
Edward slid a hand onto my shoulder, lovingly.
"Jake, can you go get Esme," I never took my eyes off Gabe, "she'll want to meet him."
"Sure Bells," he stood and left.
"Dad," I spoke as soon as Jake was out of ear shot, "This is Edward, Gabriel's father."
"Bella, now why did you lie to me?" he asked.
"It was Jake's idea, I just didn't want to deal with it. I know it was irresponsible and wrong I'm sorry, but I'm being honest now,"I sighed, "Edward didn't even know when I left."
"Bella," my dad scolded me.
"I know, believe me I know, he's here now though, and I can only hope he forgives me," I looked at Edward from under my lashes.
"There is nothing to forgive," his velvet voice was thick with emotion as he put his arm around me and allowed Gabe to wrap his tiny hands around his finger.
"Bella!!!" a familiar voice sand, Alice was here," Oh Bella he is beautiful," she tussled Edward's hair.
"Alice, would you like to hold him?" I asked, smiling.
Alice rolled her eyes, "Did you really need to ask, of course I do!"
She had brought Jasper with her and they sat cooing over Gabe, warming my heart. Before I knew it the whole Cullen clan was in my room, even Emmet and Rose. They really were my family, I cried again, and Edward embraced me, I cried harder.
What was I going to do about Jake? I had already hurt him once, I was supposed to marry him, could I tell him no a second time? Probably not, but I wanted to be with Edward, of course I didn't know of he wanted me. I suppose we would sort it out later.
The scene around me was enough to keep me happy, for now.
