Sorry it took me awhile to post. I was getting over my little mental block then I had a 25th anniversary party out of town. But that's when I wrote, so that should make you happy. Here's the next chapter, enjoy!

BPOV

I woke the next morning, feeling relaxed and well rested. Rolling out of bed, skipping the shower, and getting dressed, I finally made my way downstairs. James was in the kitchen, with Reneesme, making breakfast.

Since today was Friday, James didn't have to be at work until 10, and Reneesme had a half day.

Reneesme saw me and smiled. I started walking closer, smelt the bacon and it made my stomach turn. I felt the vomit coming up so I ran to the bathroom I had downstairs.

After losing what I had eaten the night before, I flushed the toilet and heard little footsteps getting closer.

"Mommy," Reneesme said, "are yous ok?"

"I'm fine." I lied. "Mommy's tummy just hurt a little, but I feel all better now."

"Good. Now you come have breakfast with me and James?" She asked with a slight pout.

"Of course." I replied as I picked her up. I entered the kitchen, and when I noticed the smell was gone, sat down at the island. Reneesme climbed back into her seat and James served us. Luckily my plate had missing bacon.

"Thanks James." I smiled.

"Not a problem." He replied as he sat down with his own plate. All three of us ate in silence, and it was nice. Reneesme was the first one done. And I knew why. Today Edward was coming for his weekly visit and she needed to change.

"Mama. Can I goes and get ready?" She asked bouncing in her seat.

"Since your done. But if you need help call me please." I said while placing her on the ground.

"K." She yelled as she ran out the kitchen.

James chuckled. I gave him a questioning look and he just shrugged. I had to laugh, don't know why, but I did.

Reneesme came back into the kitchen a few minutes later wearing jeans and a shirt with Hannah Montana on it.

"Well, don't you look cute." I told Reneesme. She ran to me and climbed on my lap.

"Thanks mama." And she gave me a kiss. We stayed like that until it was time to take her to school. After dropping her off at school I went back home. I knew that James would be getting ready, so I took the opportunity to call my publishing company to find out about my book. I spent about 20 minutes on the phone finding out that I book was almost complete. They just needed a few more weeks for it to finish printing.

As James walked in the room, I got off the phone. I noticed that James was dressed more casual than usual.

"Why are you dressed more casual than usual?" I asked.

"I'm going out with some guys after work. You'll be alright by yourself right?" He asked with a smile and picking up his car keys.

"Ha ha. That was funny." I replied sarcastically. "We'll be fine. I'll probably just take Reneesme out to eat. I don't feel like cooking tonight."

"Have fun." James said and walked out the door. Since there wasn't anything for me to do today, I decided that I would clean. But first I needed to call and make a doctors appointment.

When I called the doctors they made me an appointment for next Friday at 10. I thanked them before hanging up and then began cleaning. I started downstairs and finished that part by 12. At which point I decided to eat lunch. I decided on a simple PB&J sandwich, with some chips. Not exactly healthy, but I wanted to finish cleaning before picking up Reneesme from school.

While I was eating lunch I realized that I needed to pick up Reneesme from school at 12:30. I finished the rest of my lunch in a hurry and was out the door five minutes later.

I made it to the pre-school just in time. As I pulled up the class was being let out by the teacher. Again, Reneesme was walking out with Jacob. Once she spotted me she ran towards me, with Jake right behind her.

"Hi mommy." Reneesme said, "Can I ask you question?"

"Sure baby. What is it?" I questioned her. What could she possibly want to know.

"Can Jakey come pay with me today?" She asked with eagerness.

"Um, I don't mind, but it's not up to just me and your daddy's coming today." I told her.

"Pease mama. Pease." She pouted. And as much as I wanted to give in, I couldn't at the moment. I still needed to ask who ever was picking him up. God must've heard my thoughts because a few seconds after thinking them Alice's Porsche drove up. She hopped put of her car and rushed towards Jake.

"Oh Jake I'm sorry I'm a little late." Alice grabbed Jake in a hug. "I forgot that today was a half-day. Hey Bella, Reneesme. How are you?"

As I was about to answer Reneesme spoke. "Can Jakey come over an pay with me?" She pouted and I knew that Alice was done for.

Alice looked at me and then back at Reneesme. "I don't see why not. But he has to be home early. His mom and dad want to have dinner with him."

"Why don't you just come over and then when Jake needs to leave you can take him?" I said, even though I needed to finish cleaning. "It would be much easier."

"Ok. We can talk about that assignment in our class." Alice giggled.

"Oh yeah, sounds like so much fun. We'll see you at my house." I replied grabbing Reneesme's hand. I buckled Reneesme in quickly and then we were off. They entire ride to the house, she wouldn't stop talking about how excited she was.

When I pulled into the driveway I wasn't surprised to see Alice already there. I swear, all the Cullen's drove like their pants were on fire.

"Nice of you to join us at your house." Alice said as she grabbed Jake's hand.

"Sorry am not a crazy driver, like some people I know." I smiled.

"Oh, you know I'm not that bad." Alice replied with a innocent look on her face. I just laughed. We walked to the door, and once I unlocked it, Reneesme and Jake ran in.

"Looks like someone's excited." Alice said and I nodded my head in agreement.

"Want something to drink?" I offered.

"What do you have?" She asked

"Tea, water, juice, soda, I can make coffee. It's really up to you." I said. I motioned for her to follow and she did. We walked into the kitchen and I waited for Alice to answer.

"I think I'll have a soda." She finally said.

"Are you sure that's a good I idea?" I smiled. "If I recall you and caffeine never mixed well together."

"We're on better terms now." She laughed. I grabbed her a coke and got myself a water. We talked for about five hours. First it was about the homework in our college class, then it was about the baby and that's where it ended.

"I think Jake and I should go. Rose and Em are getting off early today." Alice said. I looked at the clock in the kitchen and noted that it was 5:10.

"That's probably best." I went to the kitchen door and yelled up the stairs that Jake needed to leave. Jake and Reneesme came in the kitchen, but Alice and I stood our ground and said that they could do something the next day.

After we bid goodbye to Alice and Jake, Reneesme and I sat down and watched tv and waited for Edward to show up. Instead of actually watching tv, Reneesme told me all about her day at school playing with finger paint to her and Jake playing house. Ah, the things young children will do at a certain age, but then stop at a certain age.

At five til six there was a knock at the door. Reneesme knew who it was so she jumped off the couch to answer it. I followed her quickly.

At the door Reneesme was talking Edward's ear off and I couldn't help the laugh, or smile, that escaped me. Edward looked up at me but there was something missing in his eyes. I couldn't put my finger on it, but there was something.

"Can I take Reneesme to get something?" Edward asked when Reneesme ran off, to get her jacket I assumed.

"Sure. I was going to do it anyways, but you can. I'll make myself something here." I replied.

I swear I saw something flicker in his eyes before he spoke. "That's ridiculous. If we're going to get food, you should come. Wait, why aren't you going to eat with James?" Now I could see jealousy and hurt in his eyes.

"He was going to hang with some of his colleagues after work. So it was just going to be the two of us tonight." I stopped and then I realized what I said, "Oh, I meant it was just going to be Reneesme and I tonight." I felt the heat rise up in my checks.

"I know what you meant." Edward chuckled. Reneesme came back at that moment.

"Redy." She said.

"We have to wait for mommy. She's coming with us." Edward smiled down at her. In turn Reneesme smiled up at me.

"Let me grab my jacket." I went to the living room and got the coat, and purse, laying over the couch and walked back to Reneesme and Edward. "Ready."

Edward picked up Reneesme and walked out. I closed the door behind me and, after making sure it was locked, made my way to the Volvo. Edward was putting Reneesme in her seat, after I insisted I buy him one because he was spending so much time with her. He saw me walking and opened the door. I mumbled a thank you, slid in and buckled up.

"Want something in particular?" Edward asked once in the car.

"Nope." I said and looked at Reneesme. She had the biggest smile on her face and I immediately knew what she was going to say, but before she spoke I did.

"Really Reneesme? You want McDonalds?" I asked. She nodded her head enthusiastically.

"How did you do that?" Edward asked amazed.

"Call it mothers intuition." I smiled. "Or the fact she's been asking me to take her all week."

Edward chuckled and said, "Nice. I guess we'll be heading to McDonalds."

When we arrived at restaurant Reneesme was ready to jump out of her seat. And when Edward finally got her out of the car, he had to restrain her from running. I couldn't help but laugh. Once inside we ordered our food. Reneesme got a Happy Meal, Edward got a Big Mac, and I ordered a salad. I knew I needed to talk to Edward when he dropped us off.

Conversation was easy. Reneesme was telling Edward about her day, including her time with Jacob. When she got to the part about house, he almost spit out the soda he had be drinking. I just gave him a look that said 'don't push it' and he backed off. We left once we were all done and Reneesme had played in the play pit for about 30 minutes.

We drove back in silence and every time I looked back Reneesme was trying to fight off sleep. My daughter was going to grow up and be a night owl. By the time Edward pulled up in front of our house Reneesme was asleep. He took her out, but when I went to get her, he offered to take her to bed and I agreed.

Once in the house in the house I directed Edward to her room and I put my coat and purse away. When I heard Edwards steps getting closer to the living room I decided that I needed to tell him now.

As he was walking to the door I stopped him. "Can we talk?" I asked.

Edward looked at my eyes and for some reason I found pain etched into them. I could also see the debate going on behind them.

"Can we talk tomorrow?" He countered my question. "I'm tired and I need to sleep."

"Sure." I sighed. I mean what could one more day hurt. "I'll call you tomorrow." Edward nodded his head saying he understood. He also gave me a smile that didn't reach his eyes. We opened the door and left. At that moment I yawned and decided sleep was much needed. I headed to bed and slept in my clothes.

EPOV

She wants to talk. I thought to myself while driving to my home. It has to be about her and James being engaged and expecting. That's the only thing that would make sense. Ok, so, how am I going to get out of talking with her. I rattled my brain, but I was coming up short.

"I am so screwed!" I yelled in my empty car when I finally reached home and sat in my car.

So how was that for longer? Did you like it. And don't be fooled about the friendship with Edward and Bella. I still have something up my sleeve. Please review, the make me happy :)
