Disclaimer- Don't own Twilight

A/N- Thank you for all the reviews from last chapter. This chapter is a mild one, Rosalie comes into the story, plus Edward meets Elijah in person for the first time. Background information about Bella and Edward and Jacob is talked about, so please enjoy.

Edward sighed as he sat in the audience of a high end fashion show, normally he didn't go to such events, but Rosalie was appearing in it and he wanted to surprise her. It had been almost six months since the two had seen each other. Being the two most successful people of their family, their schedules never seemed to match. But now it did, Rosalie didn't even know Edward was in L.A.

The upbeat music of the show began and an announcer started to introduce the models and what designer they were wearing. Rosalie being the most sought out model in the industry appeared first. Flaunting her figure in a slender white dress, she glided across the catwalk with grace. Having to keep a straight face she almost broke it when she saw Edward sitting in the audience. I can't believe he came, she thought as she went backstage to quickly change.

In the audience, Edward let out a slight chuckle. He had seen his sister's face when she saw him, how she was about to lose her composure. He was glad that he had completely surprised her.

After the show, while Rosalie sat in her private dressing room, Edward strolled in holding a bouquet of white roses. "Edward," she cried hugging him. "I thought you were in New York working."

Smiling he closed the door and sat on a nearby couch. "I was, but with the tour, album and movie, I've been all over. What about you how long are you going to be in L.A.?"

She sat beside him. "For three days, then it's off to Tokyo to appear in a commercial and then Hong Kong for a magazine shoot. I'm glad you're here, I've missed everyone."

"Last time I was here, I met up with Alice. So with you here we can have a mini family dinner." Family dinner was a concept that was pushed on them by Carlisle and Esme, who required them to eat together ever night when they lived at home.

"Will you cook, I'm sick of eating out?" She asked. "And no rabbit food like salad. I'm sick of being on a strict diet. I can't even think of a time where I have eaten chocolate."

"Then I will make you something with chocolate. I'm going to have a friend over, so you and Alice can come eat with us."

She smiled at the notion, but she never remembered her brother inviting friends over for dinner. "What's up between you and Bella?" She asked jumping to a more important topic.

Edward sighed and took a deep breath. "We're divorcing. I'm having the papers drawn up and I'm not even going to fight for custody over Renesmee. My plan is to just have her sign the papers and give her some money. Since I'm not fighting for custody, the divorce should happen pretty quickly."

"Why am I not surprised? How does she feel about the divorce?"

"I haven't told her yet. The only people that know are you, Carlisle, me and my divorce lawyer."

Rosalie smiled to herself. "I'm glad you're coming to your senses; I warned you about that girl," she said.

"Yes I know you hate Bella."

Hate, despised and any other word that described Rosalie's loathing for Bella was appropriate. She was never fond of the girl and thought she was useless. "Yes I do." Yawning she rested her head on Edward's shoulder. "I want to go see Carlisle and Esme, but I don't have the time." Edward was a bit surprised since she didn't get along to well with their parents. It took one hell of a fight from Rosalie to even convince Carlisle and Esme to let her start modeling at sixteen.

"Me either, where are you staying at?" he asked.

"The Peninsula in Beverly Hills. My manager wants to be in her sight at all times, so I probably can't stay with you."

"That's alright; I'll come see you and fuck if your manager disagrees, you're coming over for dinner."

The two continued to talk until it was time for Rosalie to be escorted to a party that was being thrown by Braxton Tubbs. Having been invited to attend, Edward decided to go home instead. Entering his bedroom, he stripped down to his boxers and climbed into bed. As he stared up at the ceiling, he thought about his relationship with Bella.

Six years of marriage and he was miserable with her. They had met when she moved to Forks from Arizona. At the time, he wasn't interested in her at all, but some small spark ignited between them that led up to a year of dating, then an engagement and finally marriage. Everyone in his family loved Bella except for Rosalie, who warned him constantly about her. They thought she was the best thing to happen to him, but they didn't know how their relationship worked now. The constant abuse, lying, and the infidelity, their relationship was nothing but a well covered up lie. Whatever love there was died years ago.

Throwing Renesmee into the mix, the child only forced them more apart then together. There were many times, Edward wished that Bella had gotten an abortion. When she was first born, he did love her and tried to be around her as much as possible, but time went by she grew up to be an exact copy of Bella in looks and somewhat personality. She looked like a mixture of Bella and Mike Newton.

Turning over, Edward started to think about Jacob and Elijah.

Jake held Elijah's hand tight as they made their way to Edward's apartment building. He wasn't too happy coming over for dinner; he felt that he would have to pay back Edward in some way. "Daddy where are we?" Asked Elijah as his eyes got big as they walked around the rich part of Los Angeles. They passed shops that he had never been in before.

"We're going to Edward's house," Jake replied as they walked over seven blocks to Edward's building.

"Edward rich?"

"Yes he is very rich and he has a lot of expensive things in his house, so don't touch."

"Alright Daddy," Elijah said holding Jacob's hand tighter.

Blocks away, Edward was hurrying to make this home presentable to Elijah and Jacob. For the occasion, he had ordered some toys and a child's plate set with a popular cartoon character on it, just for Elijah. As he checked on the food, Alice and Rosalie watched him. "What's so special about your friend," asked Rosalie as she lounged around.

Edward blushed as he thought about Jacob. "There's nothing really special, but this is the first time I'm meeting his son," he said.

"Bull, there is some other motive."

"Alright, I want to enter a relationship with him, if you two want to know," he confessed.

Alice's mouth fell open. "What about Bella and Renesmee?" She asked stunned at her older brother.

"I should have told you earlier, but Bella and I are getting a divorce. We've haven' loved each other in the past few years."

"But what about marriage counseling?"

Edward sighed he knew that this conversation would come eventually. "Wouldn't work, Alice, I know you're not happy about this, but please don't be rude around Jacob and Elijah while they are here. I really want to make things perfect; they've been through a lot."

"Whatever," she said walking off. She loved Bella like a sister and couldn't believe that Edward wanted to divorce her. The last time she had seen them together, they looked perfectly happy. She needed to talk to Bella, calling her; she only got Bella's voice mail.

Edward just sighed again as he checked on the lemon chicken he was preparing, it was almost done. As he pulled the rolls out of the oven, his intercom went off. "Rosalie ask who that is."

"Alright," she said going to the intercom system. "May I help you?"

The security guard glared at Jacob and Elijah as he talked to Rosalie. "Yes there is a young man named Jacob Black, requesting to be let up to Mr. Cullen's apartment. Is that alright?"

"Yes it is, let him in. Edward, he's coming up," she called.

Making sure that the food was going to keep warm in the oven; he cleaned himself and opened the door before Jake was even able to knock. "Hi," he said feeling a little nervous.

"Hi," Jake replied feeling a little nervous himself. He motioned his head down. "This is Elijah."

Edward's eyes darted to the adorable three year old child that was trying to hide behind his daddy's leg. Bending down, Edward held out his hand. "Hello Elijah, I'm Edward." Elijah took a quick look, but tried to keep himself hidden. Laughing he got up. "I'm glad you came, my sisters are here as well."

"Okay," Jake said walking in with Elijah attached to him. Edward escorted them to the living room where Rosalie and Alice sat. Jake's heart almost stopped as he took in the sight of Rosalie; he was bisexual and there many times where he masturbated to her picture. Right now she wasn't made up like the glamorous model she was but had a more casual look, that didn't stop Jake forgetting how to breathe for a minute.

Smiling Rosalie noticed his staring. "Hi I'm Rosalie," she said sticking out her hand.

He started to stutter for a second, before he found his voice. "Jacob and this boy on my leg is Elijah," he said shaking her hand. He almost melted on how soft her hand felt.

Alice who was prepared to hate both Jacob and Elijah forgot about all her hatred as she scooped the toddler into her arms. "He's so cute, how old are you Elijah?"

"Three," he replied as Alice started to swing him around. Laughing he liked his daddy's friends. "What your name?"

"Alice, do you want to play Superman?"

"Yep," he squealed as Alice swung him around and around.

Jake couldn't believe how well Elijah reacted to her; Edward seeing his confusion said, "Alice has a way with children. Dinner is almost ready, make yourself comfortable while I finish."

"I'll help," Jake replied putting down Elijah's backpack. Following Edward, his mouth started to water as he smelled all the food. "What did you make?"

Edward took the food out of the oven. "Lemon-honey chicken with wild rice, roasted potatoes, and rolls. For dessert, I've made low-fat chocolate-banana parfaits."

"Low-fat?"

"Rosalie has to keep a certain weight to model and with a movie, I'm going to be in soon I have to stay a certain weight to," Edward explained putting the chicken onto a platter. "You and Elijah can go wash your hands, while I put the food on the table."

"Okay."

Smiling to himself, Edward brought the food into the dining room and then called everyone. Quickly they all came. "Elijah, I got a special place for you," he said picking up the toddler and sat him next to him.

Elijah's eyes got big as he saw his plate setting. "Daddy, it's Diego," he squealed. "Thank you Edward."

"You're welcome." Edward then put food on the child's place and gave him a cup full of juice. Rosalie and Alice looked at each other. They had never seen Edward being so attentive to a child, not even Renesmee. Taking his own seat next to the child, Edward offered up grace and then they started to eat.

Jake stuffed a piece of chicken into his mouth and savored the zesty taste of the lemon that coated the chicken. Elijah did the same as his daddy. "It yummy," the child said putting another piece into his mouth.

Taking small bites, Rosalie studied Jacob and Edward, her older brother was not only being attentive to the child, but kept giving Jake little smiles and looks. The fascination of this was that he never acted that was towards Bella. "So Jake where are you from," she asked wanting to know more about him.

"La Push, Washington," he answered.

"You're from the same area as us. Are you happy that you left?"

"Yes, I left a year and a half ago and never looked back. The only reason I have to go back anytime soon is that my older sister is getting married."

Alice squealed. "A wedding, who is she getting married to?"

"A guy named Paul. He lives on the reservation to. The wedding is in a few weeks and it's going to be interesting."

"How so?"

"Paul and I don't get along to well and then my dad doesn't like Paul too much. Plus me and my dad don't get along, so yeah. I rather not get into it."

"Do you have a date; I need an excuse to see Mom and Dad," Alice said. Her mind started to race in thinking about dress she could wear and how her hair would look.

"If you want to come that would be cool; I need someone there that won't give me crap for leaving," Jake said.

"I'll make the time that I can come up with you," said Edward.

"Do you want to get mobbed by a bunch of rabid fan girls? My sisters and their friends are fans of yours."

"I've dealt with worse before. Besides it gives me an excuse as well to visit my parents."

"Well I wish I had some excuse," said Rosalie eating some rice. "You're from La Push do you know Carlisle and Esme, Jacob?"

"No, I never really connected with anyone in the general area." Hearing his cell go off, Jacob reached into his pocket and saw that it was Damian. "Excuse me for a second," he said getting up.

Edward noticed a pained look on his face, but then focused his attention on Elijah. The toddler was almost done with all of his food. "Do you want more?" He asked.

"Yep rice." Edward put more food on the child's plate. "Thank you," Elijah said. "Daddy no cook good."

"He doesn't, well I have to make sure to cook more for you and him."

"Okay."

Jake came back to the table and sat without saying a word. "Are you okay," Edward asked concerned.

Taking a deep breath, Jake just nodded yes. His conversation with Damian if it could even be called that consisted of Damian screaming at him for being a disrespectful little whore that needed to learn his place. Looking at his plate, he started to eat less than before. Edward noticed Jacob's behavior. He wanted to know what happened.

Once dinner was finished, Edward passed out dessert which Elijah went crazy for as he stuffed it all into his mouth. At the end, the child was covered in chocolate pudding. "Daddy, I have more," he asked innocently.

Jake laughed at his son. "No let's get you cleaned up. Edward can I use your bathroom?"

"Of course Jake. I already have towels in there."

"Thanks," Jake said as he picked up Elijah and carried the squirming child away.

Dinner was interesting, Edward thought as he started to collect the dishes and take them to be washed. He was proud how well the dinner went and that Elijah was accepting towards him. Taking a dish, he soaped it up and started to wash.

Rosalie bringing in more plates watched him. "So you're really in love with him," she asked.

"Yes, it's different from what I've felt about Bella."

"How does he feel about you?"

"I don't know; it took me until last week to even find out that he had Elijah and there are so many details that I don't know about his life. I think he is still leery to the fact that I'm famous," Edward confessed.

"And to the fact that he knows that you have a wife and child," Rosalie pointed out. "I'm sure he knows about Bella, but have you told him the details of your marriage to her?"

"It has never come up. And I do plan to tell somewhat soon."

"Have you even thought about how the media and your fans are going to react when they find out?"

The media was constantly on his mind; he imagined the field day that they would have once they found out about them. "Yes I have and if we enter a relationship then my first priority is to keep his privacy. Rosalie, I just need him to trust me first," he said.

Nodding Rosalie checked her watch. "I have to go, got a plane to catch in the morning."

"Do you want me to drive you back to your hotel?"

"Nope, I have my driver already waiting downstairs," she said.

As she got ready to leave, Edward worked on the dishes until Jacob came in carrying a clean Elijah. "Do you need any help," Jacob asked.

"No go relax," Edward replied.

"I would like to help, since you did cook."

"Alright, Elijah do you want to help?" Edward asked looking at the toddler.

"No play with Alice," he squealed running away.

"He's adorable I bet he is a handful," said Edward.

Taking a dish, Jake nodded. "Sometimes, I'm surprised he adjusted to you and your sisters so fast. He's pretty shy most of the time. Thanks for cooking, Elijah and I needed the meal."

"Your welcome." Quietly they cleaned the dishes and made barely any eye contact. Elijah's squeals from the living room made them smile. It was especially pleasing to Jake, since they had been having a hard time lately.

"It's getting late," Jake said as they finished. "Me and Elijah need to go home."

"It is late and I don't want you catching the bus right now. How about you two just stay the night," Edward suggested.

"Can't I have work tomorrow morning."

"I don't have to do anything until midmorning tomorrow; I'll take you there and pick you up. Do you have a babysitter for Elijah?"

"A neighbor of mine has been watching him. I need to find him a new daycare."

"How about you let me watch him tomorrow?"

"No, I need to go," Jake said walking away, but Edward grabbed his arm. A noticeable flinch came from Jacob that made Edward let go. Without a word, Jake went and got Elijah.

Stupid! I need to convince him somehow to stay. Following the teen, Edward found him getting Elijah's stuff together. "Jacob, I'm sorry for grabbing you. Please stay."

"I can't," Jake said.

"Well then let me drive you."

"No, Elijah it's time to go."

"Want to stay with Edward," the toddler said as he hid behind Edward. Elijah loved the safe feeling he got from Edward's home and didn't want to ever go back to his scary apartment.

Smiling Edward picked up Elijah. "You're beaten Jacob, Elijah and I want you to stay. You can sleep in one of the guest rooms and borrow some of my clothes. Plus I throw in a free breakfast tomorrow morning."

Elijah started to give his big puppy dog eyes towards his daddy. "Daddy, we stay please," he said.

There was no way Jacob could deny those giant brown eyes looking at him. "Fine we'll stay," he said. In truth, he didn't even want to go back to his apartment. In the last two days, three people had been shot dead and it scared the shit out of him to know that could possible happen to him and Elijah.

"Yes a sleepover," squealed Alice dancing around. She was excited as well, since Edward was in town she got to stay at his apartment. She loved living on campus sometimes, but it got annoying. Plus she had a room in the apartment that was only for her. Taking Elijah, she went immediately into mommy mode in getting him ready for bed, while Edward and Jacob just rolled their eyes.

Later that night as Alice and Elijah slept as Jacob sat on Edward's bed trying to make some sort of conversation, but nothing was coming to him. He felt empty inside, right now he should have been on the streets whoring himself, not sitting in some nice apartment. Edward on the other hand, was concerned by Jacob's quiet nature. He could see that the teen's eyes held a lot of pain. "Jacob let's get to know each other better," Edward said.

"Why?"

"Because I see you as my friend and I want to know more about you. You can ask me anything that you want." Jake just nodded. "Okay, why did you come to Los Angeles?"

"Because me and my friends wanted to just get away from the reservation and thought Los Angeles was the perfect place to go. And that me and my dad don't get along to well."

"Why?"

"Because I have Elijah. He loves my son, but he hates that he came into the world when I wasn't ready to be a father. Okay, your question, is it hard being famous?"

"Yes with the constant invasion of privacy and having no time to do anything. Soon, I'll being filming a movie, plus being on tour, so I won't have any time to see you and Elijah."

"What about your wife and child?"

"I don't love them. I won't lie to you at some point in time I truly did love Bella, but she hurt me and betrayed my trust. Slowly our love faded in now that just being in the same room with her makes me nauseous. Renesmee is not even mine; I have never felt a connection with her since the day she was born."

"Why do you take care of her?"

"Because it was the right thing to do and at one time I wanted to believe she was my daughter, but as time went by that notion went away. I'm divorcing Bella soon and as for custody of Renesmee, she'll be getting full custody."

Jake sighed. "Are you doing it because of me?" he asked.

"No, believe me before I met you, I was going ahead with the divorce. My turn, do you use protection when you sell yourself?"

"Yes, I usually keep condoms on me, but there were a few times that I haven't used it. Sometimes the condom breaks and a bunch of other stuff," Jake admitted.

"Have you been tested?"

"No, I know I should, but I can't bring myself to." Or more that he was too scared to find out the results of if he was affected with an STD or not.

Edward could see that the topic was making Jake extremely uncomfortable. "Is Elijah mixed with anything," he asked.

"His mother is African-American."

"What happened to his mother?"

"Might as well tell you the back story to his birth. My ex girlfriend Iris was only 15 at the time we met; we dated and had sex for the first time two weeks after we met. We were in a relationship for a couple months, and then broke up. So one day, she came to me saying that she was pregnant and she was going to have an abortion. And at the time I didn't want Elijah, so I was with her in getting rid of him. Her parents found out and convinced us not to do the abortion, but let her have the baby and give it up for adoption. So we went that route and found a family that wanted to adopt Elijah. The day came that Iris went into labor and I was with her through the entire time. The second he came out, I instantly fell in love with him and couldn't let him go to the other family. Iris and I talked about it; I said I would keep him and she didn't have to be in his life and she decided not to sign the papers to let Elijah go off to the other family. Sorry about the story, but to answer your question, Iris went off to live with an aunt of hers in Atlanta."

"Do you two still talk?"

"Yes, we're still friends. I have never gotten on her to pay any type of child support. She's pretty smart and goes to college, so having Elijah with her would have slowed her down. We agreed that when we didn't sign the papers, that she could come into Elijah's life at anytime or when he got old enough to ask; I wouldn't hide the fact that she was alive and if he wanted to contact her, he could.

"What about the family that wanted Elijah," Edward asked.

"They still want him and have been trying to take me to court over custody for the past three years. When we first made the agreement it was verbal that he would go with them, but to make it legal we had to sign the papers and since we didn't do that the verbal agreement became null and void. Not like that is stopping them, which is another reason we moved here."

"Have they even seen Elijah?"

"A couple times when he was first born and when I took him to court. Luckily the judge in our case saw that I had a job, plus going to school and me and Elijah have a strong relationship, so she decided that the custody case was irrelevant."

"I'm glad you have him," said Edward, but there was something plaguing his mind. "Can I ask who you were on the phone with earlier?"

"Damian," Jake whispered.

"Who is that?"

"My ex-boyfriend, I rather not talk about him," Jake said feeling sick. "Why do you like me, I'm nothing but some whore?"

Pulling Jake into a hug, Edward held him close. "No you're not. You're just a guy that has been having a tough time in life. Jacob, I really want you to give me a chance in getting to know you and Elijah. I want to be there for you. Will you trust me?"

Yawning Jake rubbed his eyes. "I'll think about it. Where do you want me to sleep?"

"Here is fine, I'll go somewhere else."

"No I don't want to kick you out of your room," Jake said letting out another yawn. His body was telling him that it was time to sleep; he kept fighting but eventually his body won and he passed out in a deep sleep.

Edward made sure that Jacob was comfortable and went to see if Elijah was okay. The toddler was asleep in one of the spare bedrooms cuddled up with a stuffed wolf. Smiling Edward picked him up and carried him back to his room. Getting in bed, Edward settled Elijah on his chest and drifted off to sleep.

Around 3 AM, Edward heard a cell phone go off, knowing it wasn't his; he placed Elijah on the bed and answered the phone. "Hello," he said groggily.

"Who the fuck is this," said Damian as he paced around his own apartment. He was on a cocaine high and thought Jacob was up to no good.

Taking the phone out to the balcony, Edward answered Damian's question. "You don't need to know who this is."

"Where the fuck is Jake?"

"None of your damn business, are you Damian his ex-boyfriend?"

"Yes I am and I want to talk to that little bitch now, now put him on the fucking phone."

Edward growled into the phone. "No and I don't appreciate you calling him that disgusting word. If you ever call this number again, I swear to God that I will cut your fucking balls off and feed them to you." Hanging up the phone, Edward went inside, sat down at his computer and ordered Jacob a new phone.

Once he was done, he went back to bed only to be woken up four hours later by Elijah who was wide awake. "I hungry and have to potty," the toddler said burying his head in Edward's chest. He was happy that he got wake up next to his daddy and Edward.

"Don't you want to sleep more," Edward asked trying to fall back asleep.

"I got to potty, I bad if I do it on myself."

"You're not bad," Edward said noting that Elijah had on only a t-shirt and a pull up. "Alright I'll take you potty and then we can make breakfast for your daddy."

After a quick trip to the bathroom, in the kitchen, Edward started to make pancakes as Elijah sat on the counter mixing up the batter. "Daddy never make pancakes. I cook," Elijah said referring to the cereal incident.

"Really?" There was no way that Jacob was going to tell him, so he had to ask someone else. "Elijah do you know who Damian is?"

The toddler's happy expression turned dark as he stopped what he was doing. Shaking, tears ran down his eyes. Edward quickly picked him up and started to rock him. "He hurt Daddy. Make Daddy cry."

A terrible ache filled Edward's heart. "Did he hurt you?"

"Yes," Elijah said in a small whisper. "He's scary."

Edward kissed Elijah a kiss on the forehead. "I'll protect you and your daddy from him." Elijah smiled at the notion and gave him a hug that warmed his heart. "Let's finish breakfast."
