Chap 11 – Like A Puzzle

EPOV

"What?" I asked.

"What? You didn't hear me? I said you have a…" Rosalie said with a smirk on her face.

"ROSE SHUT UP!!" Alice yelled, anger flaring in her eyes.

Jasper was holding Alice to his chest trying to calm her down. It wasn't working.

I looked back to Rise who had her arms crossed over her chest smirking one of those 'cat ate the canary' looks.

"Rose what are you talking about? We can't reproduce, and even if by some miracle I did have a son Bella would have told me."

"Ask Alice she seems to know everything." She said looking over to Alice. So did I.

"Alice?"

Alice looked at Rose with such loathing but when she turned her eyes to me they were almost sad. "Edward, please trust me when I say that I can't tell you. Izzy has to tell you that her self."

"Well then please answer me this. Which kid was it?"

"The only kid that looked like you." Rose said with a 'matter of fact' tone. "The little one."

Just then Kayla walked out from behind Kat and over to Rose, "You mean Zane?".

"Like I know or care what his name is." She said rolling her eyes.

"Rosalie!" Esme yelled, reminding me that my whole family was there.

I looked down at the floor. I had a son. This whole time I've had a son and didn't know. Why would Bella keep something like this from me?

I shook my head and started heading for the door.

"Edward where are you going?" I heard Esme call.

"I'll be back I'm just going for a…ah…walk. I'll be back." I said my mind to cloudy to really form any other words.

I don't really know how far I walked but somehow I ended up at a park. I jumped up into one of the trees and sat there. It was around 3:30am so no one would be out for another few hours.

Why would she hide something like this from me?

Did she hate me so much for leaving her that she thought that I shouldn't be aloud to know?

I remembered back to that night. The night that we dropped all the boundaries.

I was sitting in Bella's room waiting for her to get out of the tub. The room was quiet as I lay back on her bed thinking about what had happened at Bella's party that day.

I remember how Jasper launched himself at her, her getting shoved into the bowl, it shattering and her arm sliced wide open.

Carlisle had stitched everything and put antibiotics on it. She opened the rest of her gifts when we got here.

'Could I really stay here any longer? Was my selfishness going to kill her someday?'

I was about to go home to check on Jasper when Bella walked into the room wrapped in a towel, the bandage on her arm slightly wet.

"Sorry," she blushed, "I forgot my clothes."

I tried to keep my laugh to myself as she tried opening her drawer to get out her PJ's. She wasn't doing so well with just one hand. I walked over and pulled the drawer open for her.

"Thank you." She whispered.

I walked past her to the door and walked out into the hall, closing the door behind me. Thankful that Charlie had fallen asleep downstairs in his chair during the game.

"Ouch." I heard Bella gasped from the other side of the door.

Quickly I opened the door. I looked to see Bella. She was sitting on her bed in her bra and panties trying to get a T-shirt over her head.

"You have a very beautiful body." I slipped before I caught myself. I never in my life had something slip from my mouth like that.

"Thanks?" she said back, her eyebrows raised. She tried getting the shirt over her arm but gasped at the pain as it grazed her arm.

"Need some help?" I asked.

"If you don't mind." She blushed.

I walked over, knelt down by the bed in front of her, and grabbed the shirt. As I began pulling it over her head our faces were only centimeters apart. I felt her skin beneath my hands as I pulled the shirt over her shoulders; it was like warm silk. I couldn't take anymore. I pressed my lips to hers. She began kissing me back and we both ended up, somehow, on the bed. Her injury forgotten.

(You know what happens in the space here but I'm not one for writing stuff like that sorry.)

About week later I decided it was time for us to go. Going back home and being around Jasper was a reminder of what had happened and what would happen again if we stayed. So I made everyone leave. Then I told Bella I didn't love her anymore, hoping that, like all humans, she would someday forget and move on.

End Flashback

Vampires aren't supposed to be able to procreate. So how could I have a son?

I sat and thought for what seemed like hours. And it had been. I could see the sun begin to rise over the trees on the hills. I looked at my watch, 6:45am. It was Thursday and we had that concert tonight with Kayla, but I needed to make one stop first. I needed to speak to Bella directly.

I showed up at Elite around 7:00am. I had put my pass in my pocket so I pulled it out as I walked into the main lobby. Kayce was working at the desk again.

'Wow one of the Cullen's are here. Where's the cute one though?'

I laughed. If only she knew. As a matter of fact I had checked Emmett's mind before I got here and let's just say I REALLY shouldn't have.

"What can I help you with mister Cullen?" she asked.

"I came here to see Izzy. I was wondering where she was." I said 'dazzling' her as Bella had so often said.

She looked a little lost. "Um… yeah, she's at meeting right now with one of the designers so I'll have to have you wait in the waiting room." She said.

"Thanks." I smiled.

It turns out that the waiting room was actually the meeting room from the other day. As I walked back the hallway I noticed something on the floor. It was a small rectangle piece of cardboard that was shaped like a key. It had shades of pink on it. I just shrugged and put it into my pocket.

I walked into the waiting room only to find a small boy sitting beside a table playing with a puzzle. I could see he had 5 puzzles in their boxes next to him and a large case under the table. He had bronze hair a shade darker then mine.

I sat down in one of the chairs in front of him. He looked up at me and smiled, "Hello."

"Hello." I said back. Then I noticed the name on the dog tag that hung on the chain around his neck: Zane.

So this was 'my son'. Now that I really looked at him he did look like me. He had Izzy's eyes only with traces of topaz in them. I smiled.

"So what's your name?" I asked.

"Zane. And yours?" I could tell he was young because of his voice but his eyes said otherwise.

"Edward. So where's your family?"

"I don't really have one." He said looking away from his puzzle.

"What do you mean?" I was shocked.

"Well I have my mom and my brothers, but I don't have a family."

"Wouldn't your mom and brothers be considered a 'family' to you?" What was wrong with this kid?

"We're not really a 'family'." He said looking at me.

"And how is that?"

He sat there a moment before answering.

"Look at this puzzle." He said. I looked at the puzzle. It had large pieces, like the kind you'd find in kindergarten, with whales on it. "A family is a lot like a puzzle. It can be any size and have many pieces but if you take a piece away, " he said removing a piece of the completed puzzle, "or lose a piece then the puzzle is never really completed. You really can't have a 'completed puzzle' without all the pieces, just like you can never really have a 'family', without your whole family." (Now remember he's supposed to be '5'. he's actually about 70 years old. He knows what Edward is, he doesn't know who he is though, that's why he opened up.)

"Well, who are you missing?" I asked.

"My father." He said looking at the ground. "And my mother."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Well I've never met my father. Mom talks about him sometimes but when she does it makes her upset. My mom loves me and my brothers, but I often wonder if she's really ok. She acts so strong for us, but I know that something is not right. She just doesn't seem to be all there. Just like the puzzle. Without my dad we're not really a family and without my dad my mom's not really whole."

I felt like someone had just hit me with a truck. This small boy, my son, had just taught me a lesson I would never forget. I was about to ask Zane another question when Izzy walked in.

"Zane lets…Edward what are you doing here?" she asked looking at me.

"I need to talk to you."

"Edward I don't know I…"

"Please I'll only be a moment."

She looked over to Zane then to me. "Ok."

We walked out into the hallway. I leaned against the window to the waiting room watched Zane put his puzzle pieces away. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Tell you what?" she asked.

"You know what Bella, stop playing dumb!" I hissed.

"What? Tell you about Zane? Why should I have? As far as I'm concerned you gave up all rights to Zane and I the day you told me you didn't love me and walked away without looking back!!"

I just shook my head. "You're right, you're nothing like Bella. Because Bella would have at least had the decency to let me know that I had a son!!" For the second time in my life words that shouldn't have been heard left my lips. (I know that was a little OOC, srry!!)

I heard her sudden intake in breath. I looked over to her. She looked as if I had just struck her. Her teal eyes filled with so much pain that I felt as though I was drowning. But at the moment I just felt to upset and angry to say anything more. I turned and began walking away.

"I'm sorry." She whispered; so low I almost didn't hear it.

"What?" I asked turning back to her.

She dropped to her knees shaking, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I know I should have told you but I didn't...I just didn't…"she was breaking down in front of me.

I rushed over and kneeled down next to her, putting my arms around her.

She was dry sobbing into my shirt. I just held her close to my chest. I had never felt so horrible in my life.

After a few minutes she calmed down enough to finish her sentence. "I couldn't tell you. I felt like if I told you then you would be stuck with me forever. You said you didn't love me anymore and I didn't want you to feel like you had to stay. And when I saw you yesterday I wanted to tell you so bad but you looked so happy with Kat that I didn't want to ruin anything by telling you. "

"Izzy, Kat and I were just friends. Just like you and Caleb. We were so close because of the comfort we brought for one another. She knew that I still loved you and that…"

"What?" She looked shocked.

"I still love you Izzy. I never stopped."

"I told you already. You loved Bella and she's gone. You don't know me well enough to say you love me." She whispered.

"Well then give me the chance to. Give me the chance to get to know Izzy." I said looking into her eyes.

"There isn't enough time. I leave to go home tomorrow afternoon." She said looking at the ground.

"Then come out with me tonight. We'll go for a walk or something. Just give me another chance to prove that I love Izzy not just Bella."

She looked up at me then smiled, "Ok."

"Cool. I'll pick you at 6?" I smiled trying to 'dazzle' her.

She just laughed. "Fine, I'm staying at the Veranda hotel." She said opening the door to the waiting room. "And Edward. That doesn't work anymore." She laughed.

I just laughed. I was finally on my way to getting the love of my life back. As well as my son.

Now I just have to go back to the hotel and cancel my plans for the evening.
