A/N- Thanks for all the reviews from last chapter, sorry kind of a short chapter, but I wanted to get it out.


It took Edward almost two and a half days to get back to L.A. The major problem had been plane delays that took about four hours in total, but when he did get back to L.A.; he really just didn't want to see Jacob right away, so he procrastinated by meeting up with a few friends for brunch. Once that he was done, he gained some courage and went home, only to be jumped on by Nessie and Elijah the minute he walked through the door.

"Daddy," Nessie cried attaching herself to his leg. Lately she had waning hope that he would never come back to see her, but just seeing him in this instance reassured her that he loved her. "Did you come back to surprise us?"

"Yes," he mumbled.

"Yay! I dreamed you would come and it came true." Elijah jealous of the attention she was giving him pushed her away. "Hey."

"My daddy," he said.

"He's my daddy."

"Mine."

"Mine."

"Mine," the three year old screamed at the top of his lungs.

Nessie screamed mine back. Letting go of Edward, she hit him; Elijah not backing down or crying to Jake smacked her back. Nessie was shocked to say the least, but she ended up hitting him again. He hit back and they were about to fight, just like they had done, so many times ago.

"Break it up you two," said Jake running into the room and separating them. He had no idea why they were fighting so much lately. He wanted it to be sibling rivalry, but he knew it was something deeper. "Can't we go one day without fighting?"

"Sorry Daddy," said Elijah.

Nessie nodded, "I'm sorry."

He gave the two kids hugs, before addressing Edward. "You're finally back," he stated.

Edward ran a hand through his hair. "Yeah, sorry it took awhile," he said.

"Hm. Kids, lunch is ready go watch your hands."

"Kay Daddy," both kids said running off to the kitchen.

"She calls you daddy now?" Edward asked.

"Yes, it started awhile ago. I don't have the heart to tell her to stop."

"Well she's going to if we break up."

"I rather not talk about that while they are in the house, because it will just upset them. And I don't want two crying kids screaming their lungs out about how life isn't fair and how we should be together. So don't say shit, until they have their naps."

"Alright I'm sorry. What did you make for lunch?"

"Why do you need to know, I didn't make it for you. I'm not your little housewife," Jake spat out.

"Jacob, I know you hate me but-"

"No buts, we'll discuss it later.

"Even the whole thing Hawaii thing?"

"Yes," Jake said walking to the kitchen. He didn't want to be frustrated so early, but the day started off on the wrong foot. Nessie and Elijah had been fighting since they woke up; the press was calling the house asking if Tanya was going to be Nessie's stepmother and just the knowledge that Edward was coming back made him wanted to strangle somebody.

He tried to block everything out, but couldn't. In the kitchen, he served up chicken nuggets and rice with cheese to the kids and himself. Edward feeling a little depressed about Jake's apparent rejection helped pour fruit punch and then served himself.

The kids oblivious to what was going on happily ate their food. "Edward, you bring gift?" Elijah asked as he dunked a nugget into some ketchup.

"Sure did. Eat first and I'll give it to you."

"After his nap," Jake interjected.

"But Daddy," the three year old whined. "I want it."

Edward had to look at Elijah in awe, never had he seen the little boy act demanding towards his father. He figured that Elijah had picked the attitude up from Nessie, something he would have to speak with Jake about. Elijah still whined about getting his present, until Jake snapped.

"After naptime. Eat your food."

"No I want it, bad daddy," he screamed.

Jake pulled himself closer to his son and whispered into his ear, "If you don't eat, you're going to be spanked."

A look of fear crossed the child's face, as he said, "Yes sir."

"Good, if you be good you get to have a cupcake for dessert."

A huge smile broke out on Elijah's face. "Yeah." Jake just smiled and ruffled his son's hair.

Edward sat back admiring their relationship; he wanted that relationship with Elijah or a son of his own. There were times he wished Nessie was born a boy then it would have been easier for him to form a relationship with the child, illegitimate or not. But she was a girl, not that he had anything against females; he just found it would be easier to raise a little boy that he could take to sports games, teach how to be a proper man.

"Daddy can we go on tour with you now?" Nessie asked feeling left out.

"No," he replied.

"Why not?"

"Because a tour is no place for a child."

"Or a supposedly faithful man," Jake said.

Edward's ears turned red as rolled his eyes and continued to eat in silence. The kids picking up the hostility between the two men ate in silence as well.

Just as lunch was finishing up, Alice walked into the room with a grin on her face. "Hey kids, hi Edward."

"Hello Alice," he said giving her a hug. "What are you doing here; don't you have class or work?"

She scuffed at the idea, class she did have, but work. "You know I don't work. Anyway heard you were back, so decided to take the kids to the park or someplace else while Jake chews you out for being an inconsiderate asshole. And when I come back, I get to do the same."

"You don't have to take the kids," Jake interjected.

"But you two need your alone time. Kids go put your shoes on."

Forgetting all about their lunch and presents, the two quickly ran to their rooms excited.

Edward shot a glare at his boyfriend "Jake did you call her?" he asked.

"I'm right here and have a name and besides he didn't call me. I just randomly decided to drop by and take the kids."

"I don't believe that."

"I knew you wouldn't, so yes he did text me saying that you finally came back with your tail between your legs whimpering like a kicked puppy. Took you long enough jackass. I mean how could you be with that slut; isn't' Jacob good enough? I love Bella, but he is better than her, less psychotic."

A funny expression crossed Jake's face. "Uh thanks."

"And I thought you loved me Alice," Edward said.

"I do somewhat," she said laughing.

Coming back the two kids looked at the adults with a little bit of confusion, but shrugged it off. "We're ready," said Nessie. "And I packed Elijah's bag and made sure he went potty." Proud that she acted like an adult, she hoped that her Daddy would be proud of her as well, but he didn't give any indication that he had even heard her.

"Thanks," Jake said giving her a hug. "You're a good big sister. Have fun and watch out for Elijah."

Smiling she returned the hug. "Yes sir, love you."

"I love you to." Turning to Elijah Jake gave him hugs and kisses.

Knowing it was worth of shot, Nessie tried to give Edward a hug good bye, but it didn't go so well. He just gave her a squeeze on the shoulder, not even bothering to notice the sad expression on her face, when he gave Elijah a hug and a kiss goodbye.

Once the three were gone Jake tried to clean up after lunch, but was stopped by Edward.

"Jake, you can do that later."

"I want to get it done while the kids are gone."

"No we need to talk."

He tried to touch the younger man, but had his hand slapped away. "Don't touch me, don't you dare ever fucking touch me again," Jake hissed. "I don't know why I even trusted you in the first place. You…you make me so…"

"Look I'm sorry."

"Bullshit, you said you wouldn't cheat on me and yet you did."

"You don't understand."

"What? What don't I understand? I was starting to love you; I really was."

"Jake, I do love you more than anything."

"Then why? What's your big fucking excuse for betraying my trust?"

A sigh escaped Edward, as he ran a hand through his hair, trying to think of the best possible answer. "It's that being on the road I get lonely and crave some affection, when you were there I didn't have the thought to cheat on you. It's like when you're around me, you have some invisible leash that reigns me in. I'll be honest; I thought I could have the best of both worlds. Since you don't like to be physical with anyone-"

"How do you know I didn't want to be intimate with you? I've been in therapy for the last few months which has helped with a lot of my problems. I might not have been ready to have full blown sex with you, but I'm comfortable with you touching me, maybe evening fingering. Is that your only excuse?"

"Tanya is just for sex."

"Why were you two seen being all cuddly with each other?"

"Tabloids lie."

Jake crossed his arms. "Really because they've been pretty accurate lately. Why is she even on tour with you?"

"Because she's stupid. She quit school just to follow me."

"Even if I did believe you that she was just for sex, why would you even keep her around?"

"As a cover."

"What?"

"Jake, I love you; I really do, but to be a celebrity and to be gay at the same time is social suicide. Granted if I did come out I would have a huge gay following, but I would lose a good majority of my other fans."

"And me."

"I don't want to lose you. I don't want to lose Elijah. Look I fucked up, I admit that but…"

"But what? Look if you had told me about her when you first slept with her, then maybe I wouldn't be so angry. I saw her pictures, she is hot and I can understand wanting her, but you snuck behind my back to be with her and didn't have the nerve to tell me. I had to find out by television. I hate you."

"I know."

"No you don't know. I hate just as much as I hate Damian. You're just like him. Both of you are selfish bastards that have used me to many times. I'm sick of it!"

Edward snapped and grabbed the younger man by the wrists. "Don't you dare compare me to the monster. Jake, I have never hit you or put Elijah in danger. I have never forced you to do anything remotely sexual. I may be an asshole to cheat on you, but I would never do half the stuff that he did."

Jake managed to push him away. "Bullshit, I don't believe you. Leave me alone!"

"No, not until you see that I'm not like Damian. You only said that to hurt me."

"So what if I did. Did it work?"

"Yeah it did, it hurt a lot." Edward just stared at him. "You really see me as a monster now?"

"Yes."

"Fair enough, I admit I screwed up and now that you see me as a monster then I guess there is nothing I can do to regain your trust."

"No, not really. You're not only a monster by cheating on me, but how you treat Nessie. That's your daughter you jackass! And you treat her like trash. I don't care if she might not be your biological child, but she loves you more than anything on this earth. I can't even figure out why. You don't deserve her. Bella doesn't deserve her. The only people that love and deserve that little girl are your parents."

Edward just looked down, taking all of Jake's words to heart. "You're right," he said.

"Glad that you agree."

"Let's just make things easy and break up, since there is nothing I can do."

Something tore through Jake's heart as Edward said those words. He hated that Edward cheated, but he still loved him and was surprised that he gave up so easily. Something inside his brain was screaming at him. You idiot tell you don't want that. Tell him that you guys need to set some rules. But he ignored the voice.

"Alright let's break up," Jake said.

"Look don't go to the press with our relationship."

"I won't, but I can't stay here and be Nessie's nanny. It will be too painful for her knowing that we are not together, but I still take care of her."

"I know; I'll just send her back to my parents. Elijah mentioned something about Hawaii; I'll pay for you to get there and to obtain a small apartment."

"I can find my own house."

"Don't be stubborn it's not for you, but for Elijah. I want him to have his own room in a nice neighborhood the minute he gets there. And I'm setting up a college fund for him, and then I'll be completely out of your life."

"Fine." Without saying another word, Jake went towards Elijah's bedroom to start packing, while Edward started to make some calls.

Tanya slowly looked through Edward hard drive trying to find something about his nanny for Renesmee. She hated the fact that he had even hired a male nanny. She was convinced that what's his name was molesting the child. Unfortunately for her, Edward kept all his work on a flash that he carried around with him at all times.

Cursing, she decided to call up Oscar to get the dirt on Jake, but couldn't get through to the man. Sighing to herself, she decided to call up one of her investigative friends to get her information.

In Elijah's room, Jake tried to fold up the child's shirts into a suitcase, but kept thinking about Edward out there. Two sides were constantly playing tug-of-war in his mind. The first side and the most dominant side at this point was telling that he needed to get away and forget all about the bastard. However the other side said that people make mistakes and how many times did he forgive Damian for screwing around. The obvious answer was too many times to count.

Tears ran down as his face as he stopped and sat on the floor. Why was this so hard? In no other relationship that he had been in, that he became so emotional invested. "Why is my life so fucked up?" he asked himself. "Why, God what did I do to deserve all the shit you've gave me."

Edward hearing the crying walked into the room and sat beside him. Neither spoke to each other, but Edward did wipe some of Jake's tears away. Still sitting in silence, they sat that way for about twenty minutes, before Edward finally spoke up. "I hate seeing you cry."

Jake sniffed. "What you think I'm a baby?"

"No, I just don't like to see people cry, not even my fans at concerts."

"But they're crying tears of joy."

"I know, but it still gets to me."

"Weird."

The older man chuckled. "I know." He hesitated before speaking again. "I don't want to break up."

Jake remained silent.

"Tell me what I have to do to regain your trust."

"I don't know."

"Jake, I'll do anything. Please, just one more chance."

"I'm sorry, but I've been damaged to many times to give you a second chance."

"Jake."

"If you really want to make it up to me, be a better person. Not to me, but to your daughter get the damn test. If she is your daughter or not, love and respect her."

"I will."

"Go call and set up a test now."

"Alright," he said obeying the request. It wasn't hard to set up a DNA test; he got one for tomorrow morning with his private physician. "There I did it; I have an appointment at nine tomorrow and I can have the results two hours after that."

"Good it took six years."

"Shut up."

"Make me." Smirking Edward launched and started to tickle Jake. Even if he didn't want to, Jake started to laugh as Edward got all of his spots. "Edward…ha…ha…ha. Stop, I don't want this."

"Oh really, because your laughter says different." He managed to get Jake to the floor as the tickling continued. "Say uncle and I'll stop."

"No." It continued until Jake felt like he was going to pee his pants from all the laughter. "Okay uncle." Stopping Edward smiled at the boy below him, bending down he started to kiss his lover. God how he missed him.

Jake didn't want Edward to kiss him, but it had been so long since he felt the older man against him that he deepened the kiss. Subconsciously he started to dominant the kiss; he then switched their positions so that he was on top.

The two made out for about five minutes, before Jake got off after feeling Edward's erection pressing against him; however Edward pulled him into his lap. "Don't leave yet."

"We can't continue; I hate…"

He was cut off by Edward's lips. Moaning he accepted it and the two made out for a while more. "Jake?"

"Hm?"

"I missed being here with you."

"As much as I hate to admit it; I hated it to." Jake pushed himself off on Edward's lap.

"I was a douche."

"Very."

"Will you forgive me?"

"I don't know."

"Is there anything more I have to do?"

"There is, I'll tell you after the test results."


A/N- I'm leaving it up to the readers, if Nessie should be Edward's biological child or not, review or send me a note, results will come in the next chapter.
