"Hi Kendall!" Edward exclaimed with a smile as he came close enough to hear her squeals. He opened the back door and got her out of the carseat like an old pro.

"Hi beautiful lady." He said to me as he held my daughter in his arms and I had gotten her bags out of the car.

"Hi yourself handsome." I said and tried to give him a geniune smile.

"Hope you are both hungry, the burgers just came off the grill." He said as we walked into his house.

"We're starving and it smells so good." I commented as we walked through the house into the kitchen where I laid her bags on the bar stool and pulled out her bib and sippy cup.

"It's not much but I thought it might be easier for the little one if I kept it simple." He said as he started to set the items out for the hamburgers.

Kendall was running around the kitchen and talking up a storm as he stopped and watched her with a fascination. "She acts like she's been here before." He commented with a laugh and I couldn't help but agree.

"It's only because of you." I softly spoke to which he turned and grinned at me.

"You think?" He asked as he scooped her up and gave her a raspberry on her tummy.

"Yep, I know. She adores you." I said and tried to hold in the sigh that wanted to escape at that statement.

"Well, the feeling is mutual, I assure you." He said as they kissed and hugged like a regular father and child.

I watched the scene before me and began to doubt myself and the decisions that I had made.

"Why don't we eat so she can watch a movie while we talk?" I suggested because I knew that if I didn't get the ball rolling I'd chicken out.

Edward's head nodded but he wouldn't look at me. That hurt my heart...he also tensed up in his shoulders which led me to believe that he was as uncomfortable about our talk as I was.

We ate at the table with laughter and baby talk, it seemed like a normal family dinner. While I enjoyed it all the hurt over the fact that it was just a facade became almost overwhelming.

Once we were all done and the table cleared I got Kendall's juice made, her favorite blanket out and put her on the couch to watch Monsters, Inc so that I could have Edward's undivided attention.

"Edward, we need to talk now." I said quietly so as to not disturbed my resting daughter.

He ran a hand through his hair, "I know." He walked back into the dining room where we could still keep an eye on the baby but would allow the privacy this conversation would require.

The tension in the air could be sliced with a knife as I sat down while he brought us each a cup of coffee.

Once he sat down I looked at him as I wrapped my hands around my coffee mug, it was now or never.

"Edward, we're moving in a month."

He gasped and looked away.

A/n: I warned you to get tissues, didn't I?

HANG ON...KEEP THE FAITH (why does that make a song run through my head, LOL)
