Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight

Sorry for the long wait... On top of the stress, I just finished out my season of Cheerleading. Then, I am sick. If I don't feel better in a couple days then I have to go back to the doctor and get tested for Mono. Yep, Mono.

So...Ya

Edward's POV- Five years later

Five years. That's how long it's been since Bella left. Since I let her go. Since I let our child go. I was so stupid. I cared more about my reputation then the girl I loved and our child.

I have no idea if I have a son or daughter. I don't know it's name. I don't know how much it weighed or how long it was when it was born. I don't know if it looks more like Bella or more like me.

" Edward, did you hear?", Jasper says excitedly.

" No, what's up?", I ask.

" Alice Cullen's sister is coming back to town! Alice says that she's bringing her family." My eyes widen.

" How do you know Alice?", I ask him confused.

" She's really smart. She skipped two grades and is in third grade like me.", he smiles and his cheeks turn pink. He's got a crush on her.

" Did Alice say anything about Bella's kid?", I sit back.

" She said that it's going to kindergarten. I don't know if it's a girl or boy though. Alice didn't tell me that.", he shrugs and then goes back to making his chocolate milk. Mom walks in and I know she heard Jazz and I's conversation.

" Leave Bella and the child alone, Edward. You gave them up, you can't just force yourself back into their lives.", She sighs sadly.

" It's not just her child though! I understand her leaving for her but not taking my baby with her. It wasn't just her baby it was ours. I have to have at least some rights regarding the child.", I run a hand over my face.

" Unless your name is on the birth certificate, you have no rights. If you try and take her to court the judge would most likely rule in her favor. She told you about the pregnancy as soon as she found out. She told you that you needed to choose between your reputation or her and the baby. You chose your reputation. Leave Bella alone. Leave HER child alone. Unless Bella says so, you do not have any right to do anything with that child.", Mom says strictly. I stand up fast and angrily stride out to my car. I go to the store. My apartment is lacking in food.

I'm walking down the cereal aisle when something crashes into my legs. I catch it before it falls to the ground. I look closely at what it is. It's a small little girl. She's got wavy brown hair going to about her waist. Her eyes are...Cool. One's brown and the other is green. Her little cheeks are red.

" I-I'm sowwy. It was an accident.", she stands up and wipes of her pants.

" It's alright kiddo. I'm Edward.", I hold my hand out. She looks at it then carefully shakes it.

" I'm Zoey. I have a twin brother.", she smiles.

" Well Zoey, where's your mommy and daddy?", I ask her.

" I don't have a daddy. I saw the candy and walked away from Mommy. I don't know where she is.", Zoey sniffles.

" C'mon, let's go find her then.", I pick her up. She's really light and weirdly she fits perfectly in my arms.

She put her head on my shoulder and cried. I rubbed her back lightly. We got to the front of the store and I took her to a register.

" Do you have one of those intercom things?", I ask her.

" May I ask why sir?", the teenage girl behind the counter bats her eyelashes.

" I need to find this little girl's mother. She's lost.", I growl. The girl hands me to phone thing.

" Um, I found a little girl named Zoey who lost her mother. If this is your child please come get her.", I said awkwardly. Five minutes later I hear a beautiful worried voice.

" Um, my daughter. Someone said over the intercom that she was down here.", I turn and Zoey jumps out of my arms.

" MOMMY!", She hugs the woman's legs. The woman looks up at me and my breath leaves my lungs. I'm staring into the eyes of my Bella. I'd been holding my daughter! I have a daughter! Wait, she said she has a twin brother. I have a son and a daughter! I look past Bella and see a little boy clutching onto the side of the cart shyly. He has crazy bronze hair and his eyes are the same as Zoey's. He's smaller than Zoey and he's lanky. Just like I was.

" Zoey Juliet Cullen, what have I told you about wandering off? You could have gotten hurt, or a stranger could have taken you.", Bella scolds Zoey.

" I know Mommy. I'm Sowwy.", She wipes her eyes.

" You're going to be in twouble.", the boy quietly teases.

" Ethan Oriyon Cullen, do not tease your sister.", Bella warns.

Ethan and Zoey. My children. Bella, the love of my life. My reasons for existing are standing right in front of me for the first time in five long years.
