I walked into the high school building and walked up to my classroom to get settled for the day. I immediately started my computer up and looked up my documents and the emails that the office kept sending me. I also checked my classes and got up to put the agenda up on the board.

As I was writing the agenda, my classroom door opened. I turned around and saw Mr. Zahrt, who was my high school speech and debate teacher and currently teaching the same subject. I smiled at him and put a cap on the expo marker.

"Good morning." I smiled at him.

"Good morning kiddo! How are you? Excited for your first day?" He smiled and I nodded

"I'm fine, and I am buzzing with excitement." I giggled.

"It's nice to see you smile like this." I told him what was going on between Edward and I, he was the only one I could trust right now. I bit my lip and sighed. "How are things going between you two?" He asked as I played with the marker.

"We haven't talked much. I just make him his breakfast lunch and dinner…we interact through notes." I bite my lip and sit down.

"Has he apologized?" He asked and I nodded.

"Several times, in fact." I rubbed my forehead.

"Bella, I think you should listen to him. I understand that he did communicate his problem to you in a terrible manner, however, there may be more to what you know." I looked at him for several minutes and sighed again.

"Perhaps I could give him a chance." I whisper, as I thought about getting the marriage annulled.

"Good. Oh, I almost forgot, I got you a tiny present!" He grinned and pulled out a purple pen. I started to laugh as he handed it to me. "Remember you always stole this from my desk to write your passes?" He winked and I giggled.

"I think this is the best gift you have EVER gotten me!"

"It's the only present I have EVER gotten you." We both chuckled. We chatted for a bit until he had to run and went to his room. I quickly wrote the agenda and got the projector ready all up until the bell rang and I went outside my class room and welcomed the seniors in.

Once everyone was settled, I went to the front of the class and smiled at everyone.

"Good morning, students." I smile and got some good mornings. "I'm Mrs. Cullen and I will be your teacher for the rest of this year, or at least I hope so!" Everyone laughed and I chuckled.

"My goal for this year is for all of you to pass my class. And I know, many of you will say that it is close to impossible but a girl can dream! Anyways, I want your input on college. How many of you are planning on going to college?" About two thirds of the class raised their hands. I scanned the room and pointed to a skinny blond. "What's your name?"

"Stephanie" She replied while chewing her gum.

"So, Stephanie, why do you want to go to college?" I asked, crossing my arms.

"So I can move out of the house." Everyone giggled and I nodded my head and smiled.

"Education is truly the best excuse to move out." I smiled. "However, there are other reasons. Anyone else have an idea of why college is a good idea?" I soon got answers such as a better life, better income, time to party however; I was not nearly done with this conversation.

"Alright, I want everyone to get their journals out. Every morning we will spend roughly about twenty minutes to write more than a page of a certain topic. Today's topic is whether college is worth the cost or not." Everyone groaned. "Hey, this writing is going to help you start up your brains and get you thinking. I want one entire page and your time starts now." I smiled and saw students start to write.

I walked the room around for a little bit and was impressed by the progress. I walked to my desk and sat down to read some new e-mails. I scrolled down and found a new one from Edward. I bit my lip and clicked on it.

Bella,

I know we haven't been talking for the past week and what I did deeply hurt you…I need to talk to you and explain, I just need one chance! If you give me this chance, I promise to clear everything up and after that you can decide whether you wish to be with me or not. Bella, I still love you and I want to spend every waking hour I have with you. Please, Bella, give me one more chance.

Sincerely yours,

Edward.

P.S. Good luck at your first day at work, I'm sure you'll do great.

My heart sank and I leaned back in my chair. Should I give him a chance? I peered around the room and saw most of the students finish up their thoughts. I gave them few more minutes and got up to announce the syllabus for the year. Throughout the entire day, I decided it was time to give Edward a chance to talk.

I got home after setting the class room for tomorrow morning. Rain started pouring, which was a bit unusual for California but I hoped that it would cool down a bit. It's been blazing hot lately. I went upstairs to change as the rain kept getting harder. Maybe I should get some candles out and flashlights in case of the lights going out. I quickly changed and saved my clothes before I heard the doorbell ring. I went downstairs and opened the door and who I saw shocked me.

"Can we talk?" Lauren asked as she dripped wet from the storm.

"Get inside, you might catch a cold!" I exclaimed and ushered her in. I quickly brought a towl to her and tried to dry her hair. "Sweetie, go in the bathroom, I'll grab you a change of clothes."

"Bella, I really need to talk to you."

"I know we do, but I don't want you to catch a cold." I smiled at her and showed her to the bathroom. I ran upstairs to grab a pair of my yoga pants and a shirt that would fit her. I ran downstairs and knocked on the door and waited for her to open it. She smiled weakly at me and I smiled back.

"Thank you." She whispers.

"There's no need to thank me, honey. Just hand me the clothes so I can put them in the washer and I will go make some tea. Then we can talk." I smiled at her and left. I know what you all might be thinking, why the hell am I helping the woman who is carrying my husband's child?! I didn't have an answer but the women looked tired and the last thing I wanted was for her to be sick.

I quickly made the tea and set it on the coffee table. Lauren came back looing dry and rubbed her arms. I brought her a blanket and made sure she sat down.

"Thank you so much Bella. " She smiled at me and I handed her tea.

"Stop saying thank you." I smiled at her "So…what do you want to talk about?" I asked, getting a bit nervous. She sipped her tea and put it on the table.

"Bella, I just want you to know what Edward told you the other night was partially true." She whispered and I looked at her curiously.

"What do you mean?" I asked softly.

"Edward is not the father of this baby, biologically." My eyes widened and I looked at her in shock. She bit her lip and chuckled softly. "I had a boyfriend named Riley a few months back…We had sex, but I thought I was protected so we never used a condom. However, a few weeks later I stared to feel fatigue and week. I went to the doctors and they had good news and bad news." She took a shaky breath. I held her hand, tearing up a little. "I had cancer, which stopped my birth control from working. That resulted in me becoming pregnant." She rubbed her stomach.

"I'm so sorry, Lauren." I whispered and she looked at me with tear filled eyes.

"Bella, forgive Edward. He's trying to adopt this baby and I would like it you were the mother. I don't have much time and this child did nothing to deserve to be an orphan. Riley bailed on me and the only one I could turn to was Edward. Please Bella, please become the mother of this child." She pleaded, holding my hand. The door opened and I saw Edward. Tears streamed down my eyes as I looked at him. Could I really take in a child right away? I looked at Lauren who looked at me with pleading eyes. I put my hand on her cheek.

"I will try to be the best mother I can for this child." I whisper. She smiled and hugged me tight. I looked at Edward who mouthed a thank you and I nodded, mouthing an I love you. I close my eyes as I try to picture my future. This might not be as bad as I may have thought.
