A/N: Awww... be still my heart... you're all so sweet on these two... I don't blame you...

All my love to Carmen and Dawn for pre-reading and Sally for waving her beta wand. I tinker, all mistakes are mine.

ENJOY!

I waited for the fall-out to happen. The proverbial other shoe hung like a ghostly specter over us, and I was on constant alert. But as days gave way to weeks, and the weeks to another month, I realized that sharing my dad with Edward did nothing but lighten my world. While I would always grieve for my dad, it was no longer this soul-crushing weight. I was a living piece of my dad, and that was fine by me.

So, I relaxed and enjoyed my time with Edward. The summer was at its height- warm, humid, and bright. I looked forward to long nightly rides where it seemed to be just Edward and me with the wind rushing past us. When we done, Edward would show me just how much he needed me. There wasn't an inch of my body he hadn't seen, kissed, touched, and imprinted with his desire.

In return, I poured my love into him. I wanted to say the words; they were always on the tip of my tongue. When the temptation to utter those three little words would get to be too much, I would kiss him stupid. Edward never seemed to mind my random need to kiss him. When I was finished, he would have the silliest grin on his face. It always filled my heart to see him so carefree. But there were times when darkness would cloud his heart, making me long for that silly grin.

Such a darkness came over him one day, leaving me puzzled as to what it all meant. We were back at Jasper and Alice's, trying to beat the heat in their new above-ground pool. There were a few other guys from the shop with their girls there as well. I was lying in the sun, getting some color and drying off from being in the pool when I heard some squealing. Looking over toward the commotion, I saw Alice and few of the girls hugging and laughing. A shadow was cast over me, and squinting against the bright sun, I looked up to see Edward standing over me.

"What's all the noise about?" I pointed over my shoulder.

"Pete got his girl knocked up. Poor bastard," he replied while looking at the excited girls.

I frowned, not sure why he would say such a thing. As he swung back to look at me, he noticed my face, and there was a darkness that settled over him.

"Don't like kids?" I couldn't help but ask.

He gave an indifferent shrug. "Some people shouldn't be parents." With that, he walked away.
