Bella POV
The ringing of the phone is what woke me up. I couldn't believe I was sleeping this late in the afternoon. If Jake or the kids were here, there would be no way in hell this would be happening.
Ring, Ring, Ring! I didn't want to move. I was beyond content just laying in bed with Edward. I shifted to go more into Edward's arms, when I felt his erection poke against my belly.
I couldn't help but laugh. Someone was ready for round two, I thought getting up on my knees.
I was about to straddle Edward when the phone rang again. I groaned, rolled over and picked up the phone instead of having my way with Edward.
"Hello?" I crooked out.
My throat was dry and I signaled to Edward that I needed a glass of water. He pushed the covers off and stood up. I glanced over and noticed his sexy little butt. I heard him chuckle and pull his boxers up. He kissed me on the forehead and at a human pace walked downstairs.
"Bella? Are you sleeping? You do know its five o'clock, right? Shouldn't you be up doing something?" Great it was Charlie, just what I needed right now. Edward came back with my glass of water and put it down next to the phone.
"Dad?! Why are you calling? Is something wrong with the kids? I'll be right over!" I was panicked as I pushed the covers off and went to hang up the phone.
Charlie was still shouting in to the phone when Edward grabbed me around the waist pulling me back into the bed, pointing at the phone. "He's still there love." he whispered into my ear.
"Isabella listen to me for a second! Nothing is wrong with the twins!" I took a deep and relieving sigh. I grabbed for the water and selfishly chugged it.
"I just thought you'd want to know that Jake stopped by today. I was 'bout to give him a piece of my mind, when he told me something very interesting." .
Great…wonderful what he did to make the story in his favor. I groaned very loudly and looked over at Edward. I knew he could hear every word that Charlie was saying.
"Do I even want to know what was so interesting?"
"He said that you kicked him out last night. He also said that he was trying to fix this whole mess, and then you two got in a fight. Edward and Alice Cullen showed up and Edward wrestled him to the ground, threatening him and you kicked him out. Bella what is wrong with you? You told me this wasn't about Edward being back."
I could kill Jake right now, that was so like him to make this about him. I was getting so mad, I could feel my face getting red.
"It's ok love, I'm here." I heard Edward whisper into my ear. I felt it cold lips press down on my naked shoulder repeatedly.
I couldn't help but giggle. "Dad, there was no fixing this one. We got into a fight, but I didn't call Alice or Edward. They just showed up. Yes I did kick him out but it was because I don't want him here. Dad, he cheated on me, he….he did this to us."
I felt one, two, three tears roll down my cheeks. I was tired of crying. For the first time in a long time I was happy, and Jake was once again ruining it. I'll admit though, I was still hurt about what Jake did to me.
"Bells, please stopping cry. I'm sorry, I know that this has nothing to do with him being back. But Bella, Jake is your husband, he wants to work this out. I think he wants to come back, he really sounded beaten up today. He wants me to talk some sense into you. "
"Dad there is no going back. I'm going over to the attorney to get divorce papers before I stop by and pick up the kids. I'll be there in about an hour, so gather all their stuff up please."
Divorce, I loathed that word. I didn't want to be dealing with divorce papers right now, but I don't want to be married to that back stabbing, cheating, dense, wolf for one more day.
"Bella, I don't think that's a good idea… Let me keep the kids for as long as we talked about. They don't need to be caught in the middle of a divorce right now. They just got settled in. Mas keeps talking about all these plans with Seth and Eli and Sue as having a 'baking week'."
I felt a pain in my chest. Knowing that my children weren't here, knowing that they were having fun without me, doing this without me, made my heart ache. I missed my children so much, I wanted them to come home tonight, right now.
"Bells you there? Why don't you swing by tomorrow on your way home from the attorney's office. You can spend the day with them, then bring them back around bed time. No need for them to suffer through this, its going to be confusing enough for them."
I wanted to tell him to fuck off, they were my kids, I want them back here. But Charlie was right, for reasons he didn't even know. Victoria was still out there and until she was killed, I couldn't have my children in danger.
"Ok that sounds like a plan. Alice wants to meet them, tomorrow will work out perfect."
" Isn't Alice there with you? Tell her I say hi."
"Why would Alice be here? I'm pretty sure that she's at her house with Jasper." I said sliding down, so I was laying on my back. Edward laid down on his side and starting making circles with his frosty finger on my bare stomach.
"Well uh…Jake said that Alice and Edward were there when he left last night and when he drove by dismorning that one of them were still…there… Isabella! Did Edward spend…the night?"
I shoot up so fast I pulled a muscle in the small of my back. Why the fuck was Jake driving all the way over here to check on me? Why did it matter if Edward spent the night, he has his imprint. Does he expect me to be doting after him forever. I looked over at Edward as a growl rippled out of his chest.
"Dad! Why was Jake out here? He's staying in La Push and he drove out here to spy on me? It's none of his business who I spend my time with, we're separated soon to be divorced. Ugh!" I was so mad, I could feel my whole body getting hot, burning with anger.
"Bella, you didn't answer my question. Did. Edward. Cullen. Spend. The. Night? Because you know, you are still married. Jake is still your husband."
I think Charlie was trying to piss me off. Edward growled again. I took a deep breath and then another. In the nose, count slowly to ten, then out the mouth.
"Yes Edward spent the night, but nothing happened last night. We didn't even sleep in the same room, he just wanted to make sure Jake didn't come back. Dad I have to go. I need to go get groceries and clean and get ready for tomorrow. I'll pick the twins up around noon, so please have them ready. Bye Dad." I said hanging up before Charlie could even say another word.
I looked over at Edward, trying not to cry.
"You lied to your dad." he said with a crooked smile.
"What?"
"You lied, you said nothing happened and that we didn't sleep in the same room. You are a little liar." He said still smirking.
I laughed. "Nothing did happen last night, it happened today. And you technical didn't sleep at all, so we didn't sleep in the same room together. So I didn't lie, I just danced around the truth."
Edward kept tracing circles on my stomach, circles around my naval, traveling further down. I felt his hand venture down my thighs, down to the bottom of my knees and back up. I wanted him to go further, I needed him to go further.
"So, you're getting divorce papers tomorrow?" He asked nonchalantly, but I knew he hated the fact that I was still married to Jake.
"I think it's about time to end this lie."
I wasn't worried about the divorce papers though, I was worried about how he'd react to my babies. Would he love them? Hate them? Never want to see me again? How would they react to him, love him, hate him?
"Bella, are you worried about how your children will react to me or Alice? Or how we will react to them?" Edward asked me, his hand stopping the circular motion.
"I thought you couldn't read my mind?"
"Its written all over your face love. Don't worry, your children are part of you, I'm sure I'll love them. I'll call Alice and tell her to take it easy with them, ok? There's no need to worry. I love you. Now… someone's ready for a replay of dismorning." He said rolling on top of me.
