Disclaimer: Blah. I own nothing. Except I guess I kind of own Masen since he is clearly not in the book…


"So, this is Masen. Our son." I look at Edward to see him staring at Masen. Then he starts backing away.

"No. That's not possible." He looks scared. Good. He deserves to have a taste of what it felt like being me. Those were my exact words when I found out I was pregnant. With a sigh I push back those memories and try to explain.

"Well, it happened. So, do you uh want to meet him?" I ask not really knowing what to say in this situation. He looks even whiter than usual and doesn't move. After what feels like forever he looks at me.

"I need to go." And with that he walks out the door.

I stand still trying to process what just happened. Did he just leave? Again? Anger boils in me and I shut the door and lock it. No way is he getting back in. I walk into the loving room and put Masen on my lap, needing to hold him.

"Momma? eye water?" he says in a shocked voice. I laugh, I hadn't even realized I was crying.

"Honey, I'm fine, these are just tears, it's okay sweetie." He doesn't look completely satisfied but he snuggles into my lap.

"Who's here?" he asks. He must have heard Edwards voice.

"Nobody important." I tell him, and myself.

I walk Masen to his room to pick out a book for me to read to him. He choses my favorite book. He smiles at me and says "Can we go your room?" I pick up him and the book thinking about how lucky I am to have him and carry him to my room.

"At the far end of town, where the Grickle-grass grows, and the wind smells slow-and-sour when it blows, and no birds ever sing excepting old crows…" I begin.

Masen's eye's start to close and a huge yawn escapes his tiny lips. I tuck him in and put the book aside. I hold him close and all I can think about was that Edward didn't even ask his name. He didn't even want to get to know him. Not that he deserved to but still, I really wish Masen could have a father, not just Charlie.

OoOoOoO

E-PoV

"So, this is Masen. Our son." I feel her eyes on me but I can't stop looking at the boy. He has golden eyes and pale skin, I wonder… is he human? Wait. No. That's not possible. Did I say that out loud? Fear envelops me. What is he? Does he drink blood? What did I put Bella through? How could I leave her unprotected with a monster? I am broken out of my thoughts by her words.

"Well, it happened. So, do you uh want to meet him?" I don't move. How can I meet him? The creature I left you with. You look human, but looking at you closely, you look a little paler and older. Did he do this to you? Did I do this to you?

"I need to go." I mumble and practically run from her. I know it's wrong, that I should stay, talk to her. But I can't. I need to think, to figure things out, and ask Carlisle if it's even possible and ask Alice how on earth she didn't see this.

I get in my car and drive home as fast as I can. I need answers.

When I arrive, I go straight to Carlisle.

"Can vampires reproduce?" I ask him bluntly.

He looks up from his papers. "Not that I have ever heard of, why?" He asks looking concerned.

"Bella, she has a child." I say still not able to fully comprehend it myself.

"Well, not to be insensitive but are you sure it couldn't be anyone else's? You were gone a while… maybe she moved on?" He asked with a frown clearly trying to work this out. The idea of Bella with someone else enraged me although I can see how it might be better if that is what really happened.

"She-she said it was mine, but that's not possible? Is it?" I ask him.

"I will call a few people and do some research to find out if it is, did it look strange in any way?" He is clearly trying his best to help and not upset me but this is just way to much to take in.

"H-he, has um gold eye's and pale skin. I-I didn't get too close though so I don't know." I reply shakily.

"Well why don't you go check if Alice has seen anything… It's strange that she didn't see this before." He said the last part almost to himself.

I run downstairs and find my entire family waiting for me.

"Alice. We need to talk. Privately." I say with a growl.

"I honestly had no idea Edward. I've checked up on her but I never saw her with a kid." I says following me into the kitchen.

"How could you not see something like this?" I ask her.

"Well, you were the one who demanded I didn't check on her at first I mean it's not my fault I didn't check, besides the first couple days, for almost a year." She replies defensively.

"Not that it's your fault, you didn't know. How could you? It isn't possible." She said horrified she made me feel like it was my fault.

"It is my fault. I know that. I never should have left. Or I should have at least checked up on her. I just thought it would be too hard… if she moved on or if she didn't I just wanted her to have a happy normal life." I say defeated.

"Oh Edward, how could you know? Just make sure you don't mess up now, she needs to know you are here." Oh shit. I am a complete idiot. I just left her apartment without saying anything. Who knows what she thinks I was doing. Oh no. What if she thinks I'm gone again. Gah. Why do I always do this.

"I-I need to go, I need to see her." I say and run out the door before anyone can stop me.


Author's note:

Can anyone guess what the book Bella read is?

Sorry I didn't update yesterday.

Also sorry Edward is so stupid. And I totally agree Bella should be angrier at him, I definitely would be, but for some reason she isn't…. maybe it's cause she loves him or something stupid like that.
