It had been exactly two days since the incident at the bar and as a direct result the conversation that went down between Leah, Edward, Jacob, and Bella the newlywed couple were having their first ever fight since being married. Things had been fine until it came time to decide where they wanted to live together. So far they had just been taking turns staying at the others place, but they had known that soon or later they would have make a decision and there is when the problems had started. It seemed that neither one wanted to live in the others apartment full time for a variety of reasons. Both Leah and Edward were adamant in their decision and they believed the other to be stubborn by not immediately agreeing with them.

"There is absolutely no way that I am going to live in an apartment you shared with the Swan slut." Leah stated with her arms planted firmly on her hips. Her dark eyes were burning with intensity. "I may catch something if I stay there. Plus you guys fucked in that apartment and sure I have stayed over, but I am not going to live there where you have all those memories with her. I'll as if I am constantly being judged."

Edward scoffed and rolled his emerald green eyes. "Do you honestly think I won't feel the same way if I move to your apartment? You lived there with Jacob. His presence is always going to be there. Besides, my apartment is bigger so it makes perfect sense for you to move in. You apartment is cramped with just you and can you even imagine what it will be like if I try to live there as well? It's like trying to shove a shark in a tuna can it just won't work."

Leah clenched her jaw in irritation. "There is a difference when it comes to living in my apartment. Yeah okay so Jacob stayed there, but at least I wasn't engaged to him! You were going to marry Bella and I just do not want to live there. If you want to stay then fine it means you will be living alone. I don't see why we can't just get a new place."

"We talked about that remember?" Edward sighed running his long pale fingers through his hair. "We would have to give thirty days' notice on our apartments and since we both have our own place it would save us money on a down payment if one of us would just move in to the others place. Since my apartment is bigger and closer to town it just makes sense for you to move in with me. We'll get all new furniture and you can paint or do whatever in order to make you comfortable. We will make new memories without Bella's presence haunting us."

"You just don't get it!" His wife hollered while at the same time throwing her hands up in the air due to her frustration. "It won't matter if we tear the place apart and redo it a thousand times. Any memories we create together are always going to be compared to the ones you have with Bella. Why are you so fucking set on staying in that shit hole? It's almost as if you are not quite ready to let go of her yet. I feel as if you are trying to hold on to her in any way that you can."

Her husband narrowed his eyes at the accusation. "Right and you wanting to stay in your apartment don't say the same thing about your feelings for Jacob? It's a two way street honey and you know it. I am the one who asked you to marry me Leah so if I wanted Bella don't you think I would have went after her instead of gone to Vegas with you? I am only trying to save us some money since you were concerned about it. It was your idea to keep one of the apartments."

"Yeah it was because I didn't think you would want to live at your place." The Quilette female snapped out in anger. "I cannot believe you thought for one second that I'd want to live in the same place your ex-honey once did."

He clenched his hands to fists at his side. "Well I can't believe you thought I want to live in the same place your ex-lover shared with you."

"I was never engaged to Jacob so there is a huge difference!" Leah half screamed trying to make him understand, but it was not working that well considering she was losing her temper.

"You still loved him!" The copper haired male growled out practically tearing his hair out. "Do you have any idea how that makes me feel? You loved Jacob so much that you wanted to marry him. Fuck Lee you told me you had wanted him to propose. You wanted to spend the rest of your life with him. If he hadn't cheated on you then you would still be with him and I know the same could be said about Bella and I, but for me I see it differently because I always had some sort of feelings for you before we hooked up. With you sometimes I don't know if you would even want to be with me if you had another guy interested in you. I can't live where he lived. Jacob took so much from me already and by living in the space you guys shared it makes me feel as if he is still trying to take things away from me and this time he would be taking you."

Leah let her expression soften somewhat because she felt the same way about Bella. "You know that I am with you because I love you. I get how you feel I really do, but I still am not moving in to your apartment."

Her husband threw his head back in frustration. "Why are you so fucking stubborn?"

"Why are you such an ass?" She snapped back at him and they stood for a few moments before both apologizing at the same time. "I'm sorry."

Edward took the few steps needed to reach her and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. "I guess it was stupid to think that the other would agree. Saving money is not as important as being happy is and neither of us will be happy if we live somewhere that makes the other unhappy. I suppose that means we will be apartment hunting later today instead of moving one of us in. I'm sorry I got upset with you Lee. I love you and I just want you to be happy."

"I want the same thing for you, but I can't sacrifice my happiness at the sake of making you happy so yes we need a new place." She pressed a soft kiss against his temple. "We need a place where we can make new memories together and not have to stress about the past haunting us. I'm sorry too and I love you as well. I guess we just survived our first fight as a married couple. Woo hoo for us!"

Later that afternoon Edward had gone to look at some apartments and Leah had opted to back up some things at her apartment because she figured that if Edward found something he thought they would like then he would call her and bring her round to see it. This gave her the opportunity to get a head start on packing so she wouldn't have to worry about it later and this also gave her some time alone which everyone needed once in a while. Well she had been expecting to be alone until someone knocked on her door and opened before she had even called for them to come in. Looking up Leah's content expression immediately changed to one of annoyance because standing in her doorway was none other than her ass of an ex-boyfriend Jacob Black.

"What the fuck do you think you are doing in my apartment Jake?" She hissed getting to her feet slowly. "Did you not hear me when I told you that I never wanted to see or talk to you again? Have you suddenly become hard of hearing all of a sudden? Do I need to knee you in the balls to get my point across?"

The younger male was looking at his feet and fiddling with fingers which told her that he had come here to apologize for something. Well he better fucking apologize for a whole lot of things if he wanted to walk out of there breathing. "I came here to say I am sorry, but I am not sure where I should start. I am so sorry for leaving you the way I did. You were right when you said I was being a coward. I didn't stay because I thought that if I left it would be easier than seeing you because then I could pretend that I hadn't done anything wrong. It was an out of sight out of mind theory I had. I couldn't stand to stay here and see what my secret had done. I didn't want to be around for the aftermath and so I left. I didn't know what to do Leah. In all seriousness I thought that Bella married Edward everything would be fine. She'd be unavailable and I'd still have you. I wanted it all and in the end I lost the most important thing to me which was you and my friendship with Edward. It all changed when she told me she was pregnant. I didn't want to be a deadbeat dad and it wouldn't have been fair to ask you Edward to play step parents to a child that wasn't yours and would always be a constant reminder of my affair. Hell I don't even know if I the kid is mine. Edward was right I can't possible know if she was fucking around or not, but I have to deal with the consequences. I'm going to ask her to marry me even though it's not her I want to be with. I love her, but I stupid and threw away real love for lust and puppy love. I am not telling you all of this so you will forgive me, but because I wanted you to know the truth. It wasn't that you weren't good enough for me Leah, but rather I wasn't enough for you. You deserve better and it looks as if you've gotten it."

Leah listened as he spoke and she felt bad for him, but that did not mean she would ever truly forgive him for what he had done since that was unforgivable. "I'm sorry you felt that way Jacob I really am and I am so sorry that you have to deal with this shit, but you brought it on yourself. I think a part of me will always love you, but that was the old Leah and you have to understand that I am not that girl anymore. I'm not Jacob's Leah. Thank you for coming by though it does mean a lot, but it doesn't fix things. Do you know that I wanted to kill myself when you left? I almost did it too, but I stopped the last second. Edward brought me back from the edge and I love him for it. I do hope things work out for you Jake and for your sake I hope that baby is yours. With a mother like the Swan slut it's going to need at least one good parent and while you made a shitty boyfriend you will make a great dad."

Jacob shuffled his feet and looked down at the floor again. "For what it is worth I wish you were the mother. I actually had come here with the intentions of fighting for you, but I want you to be happy and it was my own stupidity that got me where I am. I won't interfere in your life anymore Lee and I hope one day we can be friends and yet I understand if that is not going to be possible. I do have one question Lee and then I will leave you alone forever. Does he make you happy in a way I never could?"

The Quilette female let out a sad smile followed by a sigh. "You did make me happy Jacob in your own way. We had good times that I will never forget. I don't regret being with you because at that time in my life you are what I needed. Edward does make me happy in ways different than you did. With Edward I feel complete. I hope you find someone who makes you feel that way someday."

"I hope I do too." He agreed extending his arms in a hug, but letting her choose if she wanted to embrace or not and to his surprise and happiness she threw her arms around him in a bear hug. It was a short of goodbye they had both needed to completely move on. "I will always love you Lee no matter what and if you need me for anything you know where you find me. I am glad you are happy because you deserve it."

TBC…

AN: Hey people I did not want a fight between Leah and Jacob because I thought it would be better to give them a sort of bittersweet goodbye. Jake is a jerk, but he does want her happiness. There is one more chapter after this and then the epilogue. Let me know if you liked this chapter or not and oh I won't be posting for a few days because I am going to Boston, but I will when I get back.
