Wow! Thank you guys so much for sticking with my story during my dry spell (teehee. Not that kind). I have a new story up now called Final Destination and it's based off of, you guessed it, the movie! So everyone gooooo read it! If you read it, tell me and REVIEW it and I will…love you forever and give you a present.

"This is Robert, Bella?" Edward asks me incredulously. All I can do is nod my head.

"The same Robert that….?"

I nod again.

Robert seems to be having a slight panic attack.

"Bella?!" All I can do is stare.

"What are you doing here, Bella?" he seems angry. Of course, considering I slept with him and then randomly just disappeared off the face of the planet, I guess he kind of has a good reason for it.

"I-I live here," my voice didn't come out as strong as I had hoped it would.

"What the hell, Bella? Where have you been all these years? Here? Why the fuck didn't you say anything before you left? You literally just disappeared without a trace! Nobody knew where you went. Nobody."

I hated that he was yelling at me like this was my fault. "I didn't exactly have a choice!" I scream back and am thankful that my voice now has some conviction in it.

"You didn't have a choice? You couldn't have chosen to pick up your phone and call someone? To stop by someone's house? To say something at school?"

"No I couldn't have! It was my mom's decision! She only told me literally the night we left. I didn't even know I was leaving until about an hour before we actually loaded the van and took off."

He rolled his eyes at me. "It's called a cell phone."

I crossed my arms over my chest. "She took it. I wasn't allowed to let anyone know."

Edward, who, to be honest, I kind of forgot was even there, came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist and leaned his chin on my shoulder. I put my hands over his and leaned back into him slightly so that he knew that Robert being back didn't change anything.

"Okay, I'll humor you and pretend like I believe all this bullshit. Why would your mom have you pack up your bags and just leave randomly one night with absolutely no warning?"

I opened my mouth to say something but quickly shut it. This probably wasn't the best time to tell him that I had given birth to his son. Edward's grip on me grew stronger.

I lowered my voice. "I can't—I can't really talk about it here. But I promise I will tell you." He opened his mouth and looked as if he was about to yell but I cut him off. "Just—please. Trust me. Now is not the time to explain everything. It's a really long story. But I promise I will tell you everything. Soon."

His eyes grew a bit softer and he sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. "Fine. Let's just go to the hospital."

Edward nods and I jump in the passenger seat.

We had been driving for a few minutes in complete silence when Robert spoke up from the back seat, "Um, isn't the hospital the other way? I could have sworn I passed it on my way into town."

Edward grabbed my hand and intertwined my fingers with his. "We're not going to the hospital yet. We have to make a quick pit stop."

I could see the uneasiness on Edward's face and felt absolutely awful that he was put in this position. He shouldn't have to be there when I tell Robert about Chase and he shouldn't have to worry that I would choose Robert over him. I could tell that's what he was doing.

I squeezed his hand tighter.

We pulled up outside and Edward pulled into a parking spot.

Robert snored from the backseat. "A daycare?"

Edward let out a curt "Yes," before coming over and opening my door for me. Robert stayed in the car.

As soon as we were out of Robert's earshot, I turned to Edward and kissed him. "I know you're worrying about Robert being here." He blushed and looked down at the ground. "But I can honestly tell you that all of my feelings for him are gone. Nothing he could do would possibly make me rethink my decision about you. I love you, remember?"

He smiled slightly and returned my kiss from earlier. "I know. It's just really unnerving to have the father of your girlfriend's son so close. I mean, he knows you in ways that I don't."

I never felt so mad at myself for not waiting for love as I did in that moment. Of course, I would never regret Chase. I just wished there was a way for Chase's real father to be Edward.

I wrapped my arms around him and whispered in his ear, "Yes, but you know me in ways he never will. You know my heart."

Yeah it was cheesy, so sue me.

Edward laughed a bit and we headed inside to get Chase. I didn't really know if the plan was to wait and see if Robert was suspicious about anything or if I was going to tell him the whole story right here in the daycare parking lot. I decided that I would just go with the flow and take whatever comes. Do whatever feels right.

As soon as we walked in, Chase ran up to Edward, "Daddy! Look what I dwew!" (drew) He held up a piece of notebook paper that had a very good sketch (considering his age) of me, Edward, and Chase. He labeled us as 'Mom', 'Dad', and 'Baby'.

Chase had grown very very attached to Edward, and vice versa. If it wasn't so cute, I would be jealous.

We made our way out to the car and I told Edward to put Chase in the back. The whole walk out to the car had me extremely tense. I couldn't think of how exactly to tell Robert so I decided that if he noticed the resemblance, I would fess up; otherwise, I would just leave it be until I could think of a way to tell him.

Edward strapped Chase into his booster seat and Robert glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and then went back to sulking and staring out the window, completely uninterested with the toddler sitting next to him.

I was way too on edge and every noise was magnified in my ears. I was afraid once Robert got a good look at Chase he would know right away that he was his and start yelling at me. I don't know what I would do then.

The silence was unnerving and I guess Chase couldn't take it anymore because he asked, "Mommy, I eat ice cweam?"

At the word "Mommy", Robert's head shot around to look at me, "You guys have a fucking kid together?"

Not knowing what to say, I said the first thing that came to mind. "Could you please watch your language around my son?"

"Wow, Bella. You really are a slut. Watch out Edward, she'll probably be leaving soon."

Edward slammed on the brakes so hard I almost hit my head on the dashboard. He then unbuckled his seatbelt and turned around to face Robert. He looked deadly. "IF you ever talk about Bella like that ever again I will personally make sure you will never be able to have any more children. Ever. Got it?"

Edward's threat would have been a lot more threatening if he hadn't accidentally slipped up.

Robert looked confused. "Any more children? What the hell are you talking about? I don't have any k—" he stopped talking and his eyes widened as he looked at Chase.

After a few minutes he broke the silence. "Is he…? His voice was the calmest I'd heard it that day.

I nodded, tears running down my face, unable to make eye contact with him. "Yeah. He's yours," I whispered and my voice cracked a bit.

Edward wrapped his arm around me and rubbed my shoulder soothingly.

Robert's voice was still the same volume as before. "That's why you moved."

It wasn't a question but I answered it anyway. "Yes."

And then without saying anther word, he got out of the car, slammed the door, and walked away.

Chase had fallen asleep in his booster and I was thankful he had missed that little exchange.

I don't know why I did, but I burst into tears as soon as it registered that Robert was walking away from this.

Edward, without saying a word, turned back around and drove to my house all while keeping my hand in his.

When we got back to my house, he carried Chase up to his room and put him on his bed before rejoining me in the living room.

He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into his lap. He just held me and rubbed my back.

As soon as I had calmed down a little bit, he leaned his head on mine. "Do you want to talk about it?"

I took a deep breath and sighed. "I don't know why I'm crying. I'm so stupid."

Edward swept the hair from my face and put it behind my ear. "You're not stupid, sweetheart. You're just human."

"But I don't even like him! And I knew that he was going to react that way. He's 19! Of course he doesn't want a kid! I guess it's just hard because even though I pretty much despise him, he is Chase's father and no matter how much I hate the fact that that is true, it is true. And I guess that I really thought that Robert would have at least a little interest and maybe show a little love towards his son. Technically, Robert does have a right to him too. And Chase has a right to know who his real father is. Even if his real father will never ever be anywhere close to being as good a father as you have been."

Edward held me even tighter. "I completely understand. Chase does have every right to know who his real father is. And Robert does have the right to at least have the option to be a part in Chase's life. But Bella, Chase is an amazing kid and he deserves a real father who will give him love and proper care. If Robert cannot fulfill that duty, then I will do everything in my power to do it myself."

I didn't think it was possible to love Edward more but apparently, it was.

Edward's words did reassure me. Chase would have an amazing life even if Robert wanted nothing to do with him. If Robert didn't want to be in Chase's life, I would wait to tell Chase about him until he was old enough to understand. If I told him now, it would probably just confuse him.

After a few more minutes, I felt a lot more confident about everything and was able to just relax and enjoy the evening with Edward.

Chase woke up from his nap and came downstairs to watch a movie with us. He just sat in Edward's lap and played with his hands until he fell asleep again towards the end of the Sponge Bob Movie.

When my mom got home and after we ate dinner, Edward headed home after giving both me and Chase a quick kiss.

As I lay on my bed that night, I thought about Edward's words again. They only assured me even more that Edward, though younger than Robert, was so much mature and I was so thankful that Edward was in my life. I don't know what I would've done in this situation without him.

And as I fell asleep, I dreaded going to school the next day and facing Robert.

Okayyyy! I'm not too happy with it, but whatever. I have been really busy with school and work. Well, not so much with school. But I work at a doctor's office every day and it gets pretty time consuming. Anyway, I'm planning on updating my other story, Final destination, tomorrow so please please please go and read it! And review this story and the other one. If you review both, I will write you a poem about how awesome you are and draw you a picture I'll have another chapter of this up as soon as I can. Give me ideas people!
