A/N: This chapter is dedicated to whoever went and actually listened to the bayside song and loved it! I don't own twilight, I just cause the drama.

Bella POV

I couldn't sleep. I don't know how long I laid awake staring out my window. The thing hasn't been opened in six years, for fear of what would happen. It would take serious elbow grease to get the window open, but what would happen afterwards, anything?

"Mommy, Daddy fell asleep on the couch again, so Masen and I sneaked downstairs and jumped on him! Now him and Masen are playing wolf, but Masen keeps scaring me so I wanted to come upstairs and lay with you." Eli said, startling me.

She strolled over to the bed, heaved herself up and crawled over to me. I pulled her close to my own body and rested my chin on the top of her head. My mind wondered to what we were going to do about the kids. I didn't want a divorce, I didn't want my kids going through what I went there, always meeting at a line, shuffling them between us, but we couldn't keep living a lie. I felt a tear escape my eye, what are we going to do?

"Mommy why are you crying? Are you hurt? Dad said you fell last night and Pappy had to take you the hospital." Eli said looking up at me. She was so smart, so reserved, so like me.

"Yeah Eli girl, you know how mommy sometimes falls to make you and Masen laugh, well I fell last night and hurt my ankle, but its ok right now promise." I said with a humorless laugh.

"But mommy Masen and me were sleeping, were you trying to make daddy laugh and feel better? Did daddy kiss the boo boo and make it feel better?"

"Yes love I was trying to make daddy feel better and ended up hurting myself." Oh how right that statement was. I married Jake to make him happy, make him stay and it only got me hurt. Now who was selfish.

"Want to help me make pancakes Eli girl?" I asked. I felt the bed shift slightly and saw my little angle standing next to my side of the bed pulling the blankets back.

"Oh mommy I can't believe you fell and we weren't awake to see it! You're so silly sometimes." She put her tiny hand out and helped me out of bed. Once she noticed that I was standing on my own, she turned towards the door and headed out.

I limped over to the door and pulled my robe off the hook and slipped it on my body. I waddled down the hall and took each step one at a time at a medium pace. At the third step to the bottom I tripped and felt Jacob grab me around the waist.

At the moment feeling him protecting me I forgot everything that happened last night. I forgot about Edward, I forgot about his imprint. I remembered what I loved about him. I situated myself and a small "thank you" escaped my lips.

Eli came over and grabbed my hand ready to drag me to the kitchen.

"Mommy you promised pancakes now come on! Daddy let her go, you already got to see her fall last night!"

Edward POV

I was sitting at the piano, lightly playing Bella's lullaby when I noticed Alice lift her head off Jasper's lap. I got up and walked to the back of the couch when I saw it in her mind.

Bella was bent down in front of two small children telling them that they were going to stay with Charlie for awhile. An older women shuffled them into the house and Bella was having a conversation with Charlie. All of a sudden she wrapped her arms around his shoulder and buried her face in his neck. He was awkwardly rubbing the back of her head, trying to soothe her.

"…I swear it wasn't because of Edward being back daddy." she told him. She looked so small so fragile.

"I know baby girl, no one blames you. I'm just sorry it had to end like this." He returned.

Alice closed her eyes and turned around and smiled up at me.

"What did you see?" Jasper asked, shifting his eyes between both of us.

"Its ok Edward, she's sad but it means that her relationship with the dog is about to end. I get my sister back!" Alice said clapping her hands together.

I loved Bella with everything I am and my heart swelled when I realized that there was hope for me, but I hated seeing her upset, crying, hurting. I couldn't wait to see her.

No. Wait. I wasn't thinking clearly. I promised myself I wouldn't get involved. Track Victoria, kill Victoria, slip away unnoticed and live a horrible, miserable life.

Oh Eddie stop thinking like that. I can promise you it's going to be ok. Alice spoke in her mind showing me another vision of Bella and I talking, holding hands, kissing. I couldn't help but smile.

Bella POV

"Bells we really need to figure out what we are going to do. I don't want to leave you unprotected, but I can't leave the kids here…" Jacob said trailing off.

I didn't want him to take the kids, they were all I had left to live for. I don't think our situation can be taken up in a normal family court, we could try the elders but I'm sure they'd be biased against me.

"Jake I really hope you aren't suggesting that you should get custody of our kids. I mean I'm their mother, I can take care of them. Who's going to take care of them when you're on patrol, their new mommy Danica?"

Ok I was still a little bitter. And calling Danica their new mom was below the belt and very uncalled for. I saw Jake clinch his fist and take deep breaths.

"Bella don't say that. I'm just looking out for the kids and you. I want to protect you. I want to protect Masen and Eli. Do you have a better plan? Somewhere else we can take them?"

I really didn't have a plan. Besides crawling into bed for the next two weeks and hoping no one would bother me. The last thing I wanted was for Charlie to come in and see me in the same state I was in six years ago. Charlie….Charlie…..

"I'll take them to Charlie's. Then they'll be on the rez so the pack can watch them and you don't have to worry about sticking around here."

"Bells for the last time I'm not leaving you unprotected. I'll stick around. I'll sleep on the couch."

"Listen I'll take the kids to my dad's, while I'm there I'll talk to Seth and Leah and see if one of them will come around at night and keep watch ok?"

The last thing I wanted was to get my brother and sister involved, but it was better then having Jake around and knowing he'd rather be at home with her.

"Charlie doesn't know about imprinting Bella. He's going to think I cheated on you. He. Is. Going. To. Shoot. Me!"

He was right, Charlie would assume he cheat, and would probably threaten to kill him but….

"Maybe you should of thought of that before you lied to everyone." Oh yeah I was bitter.

A/N: So yeah kind of a filler chapter. I'm trying to set the stage for the big ExB reunion that counts. I threw a little of Elizabeth in there, because I spent all day with my 4 year old sister and she is the funniest kid I know, so she inspired me to add a little bit of Eli girl. (Which is awkward because that's what my friend calls her cat) Place review you guys, honestly reviews make me feel so much better and inspire me. This story has 122 people that have me on their alerts and if everyone would review it would be super. Anonymous reviews are also welcomed so if you have something bad to say don't feel the need to add a name. Also check out my new story "Miserable at Best", Bella's very naughty in it.
