"Jacob please, I need you to do this for me."

"Bella, do you know what will happen to my reputation if this comes out? Not all of us have the ability to leave this dump, some of us just can't." Jacob retorted. He began to close the door and looked at me with an apologetic look on his face. The anger bubbled up and before I had a chance to control myself the words spewed out of me. "If you won't help me, I'll ask Edward to. He was there throughout the entire journey and I know that he won't mind seeing you get what you deserve." I took a deep breath in attempt to calm down. "I'm sorry. Please, you have no idea how damaged I am because of you. It took me so long to be intimate with someone after you; my relationship with my father is destroyed and so was my relationship with Edward. I loved him and you forced us to be apart, he forgot about us." The last words came out as a whisper. I sniffed, took the sleeve of my top to wipe away the tears and looked down at my swollen stomach. "I don't just need this for me; I need it for him or her."

"Bella you know I would do anything for you, but this is something big. Just give me a chance to think about it."

"Jacob without a confession I don't have a case and if I go there on my own, it's my word against yours."

He sighs.

"Bells…"

"Don't call me that, please. I have to go, please just make the right choice."

I walk back to the car. As I reach Seth's old car I notice that my phone is beeping, indicating a missed call. I listen to my voicemail for a message.

"Hello Bella, it's Edward. I know I've been avoiding you for a while but I need to see you. I just…I need to know. I'll be at the café in town in about an hour, please come."

I hang up quickly; I don't know what to do. I want to see him so much, but I can't handle it if he had to walk away again.

EPOV

"Just a coffee please; black, no sugar and a cinnamon donut thank you." I hand the young cashier the money and tell her to keep the change. She reminds me a lot of my Bella.

Bella

My heart clenches when I think of her. I hope she comes, I know I hurt her so much but I need her like a heart needs a heartbeat. I never thought I would be the one to hurt her, but that look on her face when I introduced Athenodora. Her eyes looked so sad, I felt like a major dick. I was never fully in love with Athen but she was the closest thing to Bella.

I never thought I would see her again. In the beginning I was confident that we were going to make, but as the years went by, my confidence faded. Why would Bella want to be with me, I was a fuck up. I was going nowhere with my life, sure I had started my studying but Bella deserve better.

And then ten years later she was here again, still as beautiful as the day I first laid my eyes on her. Although she had grown bigger, more firm breasts. Her curves became more visible and her legs were long, sexy pillars carrying her.

Her hair was longer, almost touching the top of her ass, yet she still had those innocent doe eyes, those eyes that captured me every time I was with her.

The last time I saw her, she was so sad but you could see a glint of happiness in those eyes when she looked down to her slightly rounded stomach. I knew the child was mine, the moment our eyes locked I knew it was her way of telling me. It made me regret avoiding her so much.

I wanted to tell her that I broke up with Athenodora to be with her but when she thought that I wanted just sex, it hurt. After all these year she doesn't remember me as the boy who loved her but as the boy who slept around.

The bell of the shop rang, indicating that someone had entered the store; I looked up and saw my Bella.

She was breath taking

She was a ray of light in my dark life

She would be mine again.

I waved her over and got up to pull the chair out. Her stomach was a bit more visible than the last time I saw her. She thanked me and sat down and I pushed her chair in.

"I bought you a cinnamon donut, I remember how you liked to treat yourself with one every once in a while." Her cheeks tint a warm pink from embarrassment and appreciation. She smiled slightly before taking a bite and letting out a moan.

The things her moans did to me.

Even after all these years, she was still the only one that I had both a physical and emotional relationship with. She looked at me with those deep brown eyes and sighed, "I just wanted you to know that the baby is yours. I'm positive, I know that you and Athen-"

"Athenodora and I broke up before the last time I called you."

She gasped in shock, "But you were at the clinic with her. I don't understand…"

"Athenodora and I were only together for convenience. The baby is her ex-lover's, I was just there to support her because he was engaged to another woman. " She looked shocked. "I'm…I'm sorry. I just-when I saw you with her at the clinic I thought…"

"Thought what Bella?" I asked her, taking her hand in mine. This felt right and real to me and for the first time in a long time, I didn't feel alone.

"I thought you loved her more than you could ever love me." I looked at her and saw how sad she was just thinking of that. "Bella I'm so sorry if I ever made you feel like that. I was so confused when you came back, for years we haven't spoken to each other as much as I would have liked to and I felt like you needed a chance at happiness so I got engaged to Athen. I never stopped loving you and I actually think that having you back in my life in some way made me fall even more in love with you." I moved my chair closer to hers and pressed my lips to her temple, the feeling of wholeness came back to me. "If you'll let me, I won't let you or our child walk away again. I have lost you once and I'll be damned if it ever happened again."

After many quiet sniffles she looked up to me. Her face was shiny with tears, her eyes slightly swollen from crying and her long hair covering her face; she never looked more beautiful to me. She stared at me for a while before saying the words that I have been dying to hear.

"I love you."

Without hesitation I pressed my lips firmly to hers. We still had a lot to figure out but I knew, come what may we're in this together for the long run

Me, Bella and our baby.
