A/N I dont own Twilight... No seriously, I don't even own the book or movie anymore..
Happy friday everyone! I am ready to go to bed since I have to go to work tomorrow morning before the sun even comes up. I was actually in bed when the beta's sent this back but I go up to post it for everyone!
I love LOVE getting everyone's reviews. I love the difference in everyones opinion towards it. It also makes me jump up and down (literally) when I hear from new people.
I am am hoping to keep up with the regular updates as I have been doing but we are going to be back to normal sized chapters. So with that and working on the other two fics we will have to see how fast I can throw out chapters. Im not sure how much longer this fic will be soo I'll just throw out a number of like ten more chapters. But that depends on how much I throw into the story, or the things that people want to see.
When this is over I will probably not start anything new for a bit so I can focus on TTTC and DDC for a bit. But I do however know what I am going to write next when I do start it..
Shutting up now!

Nothing went as I had planned when I originally left Chicago to go back to Seattle.
When I got back to my condo it was an utter mess.
I am not sure what the hell was going through Tanya's mind when she thought that I would forget about that place and just let her have it. I did pay the bills for it after all.
In just those few days that she had been there she did quite a bit of work. A good fifty percent of the furniture that had been in the apartment was replaced with the things that she took from Chicago. That was the least of my worries. I went through all my belonging there, well what she had left of mine, and just decided to sell the place, as furnished.
Within a week I had the condo on the market. When the realtor came he was sure that it would only take a few weeks for the place to sell. If that.
While I was waiting for the place to sell I took that time seeing friend and acquaintances, knowing I probably wasn't going to be seeing for quite some time.
Then at night I thought about Bella. I worried about her so much. I know that I should not have just taken off like I did. But I was a coward and scared. I was happy that my family had taken such a liking to her.
Esme always updated me on everything that had been going on while I was gone. As time went on I could hear the love that she had for Bella in her voice. It seemed that they were getting along well and spending more and more time together. But there was also a hint of sadness to it as well. But she always assured me that everything was fine. At first I thought that maybe things were not going well at the school for her still, I was extremely upset about that. I was about to buy a ticket and fly back there just to get people to get off my back. Carlisle stopped me before that happened. He assured me that everything was back to normal at the school. Being the little time that I was there, I had a feeling that the normal was the school without me.
I had times that I would lie and wonder if Bella had moved on. If she just let go of everything that happened. Maybe that was why my mother was sad sometimes when talking about her.
After being back in Seattle for over two months, slowly getting bored out of my mind with only spending my days working on my investments, and seeing friends when they had time. I was growing anxious. It was starting to worry me that the place had not yet sold. At first there had been many interested buyers who would come and look but then the numbers started to dwindle down. For some reason no one was latching on.
But once I found out why, it all made sense.
Tanya.
There was a reason why she had left me alone.
The bitch new that I was selling the place. She made nice with my realtor and been doing "favors" for him. In return he was making sure my place would not sell. A friend of mine, Carry, saw them out together one evening. As soon as he told me I had alarms going off in my head.
So my time here was pushed even more. It took me a bit to find another person that I trusted to sell the place the right way. It was a friend of a friend's cousin. Or some shit. But finally in February the place went and for just the price that I wanted.
My family had been ready for me to return. Hell I had been too. But even with the stupid drama, being off on my own for those months were good for me. I was able to do what I wanted, without the exception of Bella.
I had been with Tanya for so long and she started controlling , it felt good to just be me again. To eat what I wanted, to go where I wanted to, not having to answer to anyone.
Carlisle left my job open for me even though I was gone a hell of a lot longer than we thought. Esme was on her final days of finishing my house, it was taking her longer then she wanted since she had some other projects going on as well that she was working on.
My first night home I stayed at Carlisle and Esme's. She wanted to show it to me during the day time.
When I got home I was willing to stay at the folk's house until the final touches were put on my place. I saw that there was a room being remodeled there as well, but we all knew that when she does that not a soul is allowed to enter until it's complete so I didn't even bother taking a peek at what she was doing to it.
That first night Esme made a big family dinner. Everyone came but there was a tension there. I could feel Rose's laser eyes on me that whole time. I wasn't sure if I even wanted to find out what was going on with her so I ignored her.
I insisted on going back to work the next day. I knew that there was going to be a lot that I needed to catch up on and there was no point in taking a day to relax. I had been doing that for months now.
However what I found that day when I walked in was not I could ever imagined.
I could tell that it was her before I was even close.. She looked more round but beautiful as ever. Her hair had more shin and her skin looked so silky. I couldn't wait to get to her to tell her hello just so I could hear her voice again and look into her eyes.
It had been so long that this felt like a dream.
That was until she turned around and I saw all of her.
Bella had grown. She was bigger.
But only in one area.
The glow that was coming from her was obvious now.
Bella was pregnant. It was impossible not to tell now.
She was with Rose in one of the hallways.
They had yet to see me so I quickly closed my jaw that had been hanging wide open. She had to be a few months. At least halfway through her pregnancy.
She had a hand place on her belly and she gently rubbed where the baby would be.
In that moment I was instantly jealous of whomever it was who that could have possibly done that to her. That gave her that spark as their child grow inside her.
Just as she was about to pass into the next hall she slowly turned her head and looked directly at me. There were so much emotions in her eyes; hurt, pain, anger, hatred. Both her hands clung to her stomach as if to protect the baby as she quickly took off out of my vision.
I ran back to my office and shut myself in there for the rest of the day, burying myself into my work. I couldn't believe that she was with child. I knew that my family was hiding something from me and I was sure that this was it.
What the hell else have I missed while I was away?
Later that afternoon when I returned home from work my mother was gone. I tried calling her at one point but she wouldn't pick up the phone. I was starting to get worried until dad got home. He told me that she had an appointment this afternoon but he wouldn't clarify what kind.
What that appointment was what I learned later that night when I came down from my room for a late night snack.
On the fridge there was a square and somewhat blurry black and white picture hanging on it.
The minute I spotted it I dropped the milk carton, causing it to explode all over the floor. I swore my eyes were playing a game on me.
There was not a chance in hell that this was true and this was how everyone was going to let me find out this way.
It was a baby. A little ultra sound picture of a baby. And I swear it was waving at me. Although it wasn't really to me. Right by the hand typed in was a message. "Hi Grandma!"
Grandma?
At first I was thinking happily for my sister or Rose. One of them finally was giving my mother a grandchild. But no. At the top of the picture the mom's name was listed. Isabella Swan.
This was Bella's ultra sound picture. And my mom had a grandma's copy. With that being said , it was obvious.
I had to be the father of Bella's baby.
Just then the kitchen light turned out.
"Edward?"
