a/n: Hello! I'm back =); sorry it took me so long to write back...i just got caught up in, well, life. I went to watch New Moon on the 20th and it was amazing, it inspired me to write again. It also inspired me to write and new story called 'Love spelled backwards is Love' for those of you lucky enough to have watched New Moon yet you should understand where i got that from =) here is a sneak peak

I looked at the invisible line, the line that separated the juniors from the seniors of Forks High. Yep, it was there, in all its dividing glory.
I glanced at the clock at which was placed at the rear end of Forks High's cafeteria. It was 13:09 pm. Only nine minutes into lunch. And the Cullens still hadn't arrived.
'Bella! Yoo hoo! Earth to Bella.' Jessica, one of my best friends, waved her hands frantically in front of my face trying to obtain my awareness.
'Um…' I trailed off. Five figures swiftly trapped my attention. It was the Cullen's. I twisted my body so that I could gape directly at them, something I had no shame in doing seeing as the whole cafeteria had gone quite as soon as Emmett, Rosalie, Edward. Alice and Jasper had walked through the doors. Everyone was watching them just as I was.
It looked as though they were moving in slow motion. They walked with such grace and poise it was almost excruciating to look at, each one of their fluid steps reminiscent of the fact that I couldn't walk on flat ground correctly.
I'm still working on it =)
Anyhoo - i love you guys, really i do and this is chapter four of The Cullen Love-Child =)

'When were you planning on telling to tell me about this?' he growled at her.
'How did you find out?' she managed to push the question out of her dry lips.
He laughed. 'Not from you, that's certain.'
He sat down and after a moment he stood up and walked over to the window.
'I need you to be the girl I once thought you were,' he said looking out of the ceiling to floor window.
That was nothing less than the truth. He needed that from Bella. He needed her to be the kind of mother that Esme was, the kind of mother who could raise a child to handle a world of a Cullen because he didn't have time to do that.
He didn't understand, he'd been careful every time they'd come together. Only slipping up once, he thought. But even then he'd pulled out as soon as he realized what he'd done.
'And what girl was that?' Bella asked wetting her lips with the tip of her tongue, an action that went unnoticed by Edward.
'One I could trust.'
Bella flinched at his words.
'Where's the girl?' he asked.
He'd come here to claim Reneesme, but watching the way the light played over her hair made him realize he wanted to claim the woman, too. He still wanted her. Damn her for that. He couldn't deal with the circumstances that had brought him here and he wouldn't talk about them with her. Not now. Bella obviously could not be trusted. He thought that stealing money was enough but she'd kept his child a secret from him. Isn't that illegal?
He went to sit back down opposite her. He had to calm down.
Bella tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, eyeing him warily. Crossing her arms over her chest, she glanced out the window and then glanced at the envelope that she couldn't bring herself to open.
'Reneesme is nothing like a Cullen.' She finally whispered after a while.
'What do you mean?'
'She doesn't live the type of life you live.'
'She'll be taught what she needs to know.'
She shook her head. 'Are you are forgetting the fact that Carlisle hates my family?'
'My father will love his granddaughter.'
'I don't know. I'm not the stupid young girl I was back then Edward, It would never work,' she said.
'You're still young,' he said.
'Being a mother has developed me in a way nothing else could have. Please — '
'Bella, you know that keeping the child from the Cullen family is something that I will not allow to continue.'
There was an extensive pause. 'I wanted to tell you sooner.'
'Why didn't you?'
'Because I knew how you'd react.'
He didn't say anything.
'I want the girl.' He said finally, avoiding Bella's comment.
'Um, okay. When?' she asked.
'Now, Bella. I think we can work this out on our own without involving my attorneys.'
'Of course," she said. "I wasn't saying you couldn't see her. Just asking when you wanted to.'
'Does she have our family name?'
'No.'
'That will be the first thing I change. I'll have my attorneys start the paperwork.'
'Uh, isn't that moving fast? Why—'
'It isn't fast. Not after I've missed four years of her life already.'
She flushed—with anger, he imagined.
'I'll go pick her up from my crèche. You can wait for us in the car park.'
Reneesme chattered as Bella drove back into inner-city Forks, Reneesme asked her specific questions about Edward. But she really didn't know what to say. Finally they stepped out into the car park and she slipped her little hand in hers, quieting as she looked at the tall man standing with his back toward them.
Bella squatted down next to her daughter to hug her close. 'He's very excited to meet you.'
'Are you sure?'
'Yes, she is,' Edward said, coming over to them.
'Reneesme, I'm Edward Cullen.'
