Chapter 28:

Bella's POV

I watched as the scene played out before me between Jake and Carlisle not saying a word. I didn't really know where we were headed but they knew, so I felt comfortable with that. My body was filled with a mixture of nervousness and anxiousness at about what was going to unfold.

I was afraid that everyone had seriously underestimated Edward and his ability to con and fight his way out of every single situation he was placed into. This whole situation made me believe he was capable of just about anything, I mean who wants to pass their baby off as someone else's. He must have seriously played with Vanessa's head to make her allow this.

Of course, I didn't know this woman. I knew nothing about her, except the few small things Jake had mentioned.

I sighed and turned my attention to the window, watching the blur of green out of the window. This was the one thing I disliked about living here; you couldn't really ever tell where you were by looking at the scenery because it was always a bunch of green and brown trees flying passed the window.

I wasn't sure how much time had passed, the silence in the car deafening. Tension hung in the air, not just between Carlisle and Esme but I could feel a bit of their tension directed at Jake and myself. I was pretty sure they weren't too happy that their whole perception of their son had to change, because of me. Carlisle's secrets were uncovered because we showed up at their house and dropped this all in their laps.

Ruined Esme's peaceful ignorant bliss of not knowing about her husband's extra circular activities.

The car came to a stop outside of a beautiful log cabin home, I recognized it. I'd driven past here a million times, occasionally glancing over to the beautiful rustic home up on top of the hill thinking how I wouldn't mind living in such a place.

We all climbed out of the car and stood in front of the huge home, the curtain in the living room moved aside and I could see a shocked Edward looking back at the four of us before the curtain fell back in to place.

Jake's POV

I looked over to Carlisle who looked back at me with a knowing look. We knew Edward knew we were there, he'd seen us. I wasn't sure if Vanessa was there or not, and it really didn't matter. Edward was first on the priority list right now; I had the necessary means to take him down a few pegs.

Carlisle and I began walking towards the house, I turned quickly to glance at Bella and Esme and as if they could almost read our minds they were now leaning up against the car with no intention of following us.

I turned my attention back to the task at hand as Carlisle reached the front door a few seconds before me, his fist pounding loudly on the thick wood. "Edward! I know you're in there. I need to talk to you. Come on open the door son."

My breath hitched in my throat and my hands balled into fists at my side. I was ready. I had Carlisle's back if anything happened.

Nothing happened.

I walked up to the door and pounded on it, I wasn't planning on being as nice as Carlisle. "Come on out here Edward! Be a man! Step up to your lies! We know you were planning on telling everyone Vanessa's baby was Bella's and she gave you custody!"

The door swung open and I quickly jumped back ready to pounce if I needed to.

"You have some nerve." Edward growled at me, apparently I was a sore spot for him. "After YOU left Vanessa, she was knocked up with your child after all I believe you are the one who needs to step up and be the man, Jacob Black."

Anger flooded me. He was still going to try to lie? Still? Even after all of this?

I pulled a copy of the police report out of my pocket and threw it at him, "Bullshit asshole. We have the proof you are trying to make me and Bella look like the bad guys here. The cat is out of the bag, and everyone is about to learn the truth. As you can see we already told your parents, you can't pull the wool over their eyes any longer."

Edward picked up the paper and scanned, at this point I was pretty sure he knew he was busted.

"How dare you. You have no involvement in this, and neither does that whore you are now hanging around with. She was a lousy lay anyway, trust me Jacob. You can do so much better than her, so do yourself a favor and get out now and find yourself something better than my sloppy seconds." Edward sneered at me as he ripped the police report in half; luckily Bella still had the original.

I heard Esme gasp, most likely at her son's crudeness. Carlisle stepped back; my body was shaking with anger over the words that had just been spoken.

How dare he speak about Bella that way. She was too good for the likes of him.

I couldn't stop myself; there was no way I could show any type of restraint now. I lunged towards Edward, knocking him back against the side of the house. "Asshole." I murmured to him before my fist connected with his face knocking him down to his knees. I stepped back away, trying to calm myself before I broke his pretty boy nose.

Edward looked up at me, his hand over his cheek where my fist had connected to his delicate face. "You motherfucker." He got up to his feet quickly and I knew he was going to attempt to knock me down or something, so I was prepared. Sure enough he lunged at me, and I moved to the side and he missed only to be grabbed from behind by Carlisle who restrained his hands. "Calm down. Both of you."

Edward said nothing, but glared at me.

"Edward, this is enough. I've protected you long enough; you have caused this family pain. I'm cutting you off, completely. I'll put your money in a trust fund for the baby that you won't ever be able to touch if you continue this shit."

Edward still stayed completely silent, but his muscles relaxed in an attempt to show he had surrendered.

"Go now. I will stay with him; there are many things we need to discuss. We will meet up with you, go and finish clearing your names." Carlisle instructed, I knew that it was probably for the best. We'd won this battle but the war was not over yet. We still needed to confront Vanessa, which would be at least less violent but probably much more emotionally charged.

I knew she was most likely with Emily.

Nodding to Carlisle I turned and headed back to the car, Bella and Esme's eyes were both focused on me. They were now standing closer to each other, Bella's hands on Esme's shoulders. I'm sure it pained her to watch her son get an ass whopping, no matter how much he deserved it.

"We're going to Sam and Emily's; it's time to end this. Now." I opened the back doors of the car for us all to climb in and told the driver where we needed to go.

Adrenaline was still pumping through my veins and I was so excited to get this finished.

A/N – Well Jake certainly knocked Edward down a few pegs. Now they are going to deal with Vanessa who is with Emily who is part of the problem with all the false information.

1 more chapter and then the epilogue! I'll be sorry to see this come to an end. But they say, all good things must end, right?
