Chapter 5

"Why is grandma trying to make you see other boys?" she asked.

I slowly set my cup down and looked up to see Edward's expression. I couldn't tell if he was mad or hurt. He had too many emotions playing on his face.

I looked back at Carlie, "Where are you hearing this from?" I asked.

"Grandma's always talking about it," she looked down at her hands, "She always said that daddy wasn't going to come back."

"Your grandma doesn't know what she's talking about," I told her as I stacked her dirty plate on top of mine.

I put her back on the chair before I got the dirty dishes and put them in the sink. I turned around and leaned against the sink, "Sweetie why don't you go get your things ready for grandmas."

She jumped off her chair with a smile, "Okay," she skipped out of the room. I could feel the tension in the room now.

I slowly walked over to the table and sat down in the chair beside him. He just stayed still as he stared at the wall in front of him. "I never went through with it," I told him after a long silence.

He slowly turned to look at me. I looked down at my hands, "I couldn't…go through with it," I whispered.

"Did…," I looked up to meet his eyes, "Did you think that?" he asked.

"Think what?" I asked.

"That I wasn't ever going to come back."

"Sometimes I did," I looked back down at my hands, "Other times I was in denial," I shrugged and looked back up at him, "My mom tried to convince me that you had moved on already. That you really left because you couldn't handle the fact that you didn't know who Carlie's father was."

He turned toward me and took my face in his hands, "I didn't leave because of that. Trust me I wanted to be here for all of it. You knew that."

I nodded, "I know but after a while…it started making sense," I told him. "You had been gone for a long time…going day by day without seeing you…it made me think and…feel things…I never want to think or feel again."

"It killed me Bella," he paused as he caressed my cheek, "It killed me to wake up every morning alone. To go to sleep alone. It wasn't right."

"I know exactly what you mean," I told him.

"So you never…," he slowly placed his hands down and took my hands in his, "tried to move on?" he asked.

I shook my head, "I didn't want to," I told him.

He moved his hand to my neck again and slowly pulled my head towards him. My lips were just inches away from his when the door bell rang. I smiled at him lightly, "I'll get that."

I got up and made my way to the door. I went over and quickly opened it. "Bella?" I could have recognized that voice anywhere.

"Ang?!" I quickly embraced her in a hug tightly. She chuckled lightly as I pulled away, "I missed you. How've you been?" I asked.

"I missed you too. I've been great," she said with a small smile.

"Come in," I said as I opened the door wider. She smiled a bit wider as she walked in with Will following her. I led them to the living room and waited for them to sit down before I sat down myself.

Edward walked into the living room and sat down beside me, "So I heard that you're a Mrs. now," Edward told Angela with a smile.

He took my hand in his and entwined our fingers together, "Yes I am," she replied back with a smile.

"Congratulations," he told her, "Sorry I couldn't make it to the wedding."

"About that," she looked over at me, "Why didn't you go?" she asked a bit disappointed.

"I was sort of busy," I told her.

"Doing what?" she asked suspiciously.

"Mommy!" Carlie bounded down the stairs and walked over to us, "When are we going to grandmas?" she asked.

I lifted her up and placed her on my lap, "Soon. Now say hi to our visitors," I told her.

She looked over at them and smiled, "You're the boy from earlier," she told Will.

Angela looked over at Will surprised and confused, "Why didn't you tell me she had a little girl?" she asked him.

"I didn't think it was essential," he told her.

"Hi," Carlie told Angela, "I'm Carlie Cullen. What's your name?" she asked sweetly.

Angela smiled, "Aww she's adorable. I'm Angela Bailey."

Carlie looked up at me, "Can I go upstairs and play?" she asked.

I nodded before I gave her a kiss on her forehead. She jumped off my lap and walked over to Edward to embrace him in a hug, "I love you daddy."

He wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head, "I love you too princess."

She pulled away with a grin before she ran up to her room. I looked back at Angela, "I was in the hospital at the time," I told her.

"Oh," she looked down, "I thought you didn't come for a different reason."

"What do you mean?" I asked confused. Did she know?

"Nothing," she shook her head and smiled at me.

"So what have you two been up to?" Edward asked.

"We moved back here," Will told him, "Thought it would be best to move away from the city."

I nodded in understanding, "Have you gotten a job here yet?" I asked him.

"Well–."

"That's enough!" Angela suddenly exclaimed.

I looked at her surprised, "Umm is something wrong Ang?" I asked confused.

She looked over at Will with an evil glare before she stood up, "You want to know the realreason we came to see you?" she asked as she started pacing.

"Umm," I looked over at Will confused.

"I haven't had one child," she told me.

"Okay….and?" I asked still confused.

"It's all your fault!" she told me.

I stood up to face her, "How is that my fault?!" I asked offended.

"Because he's," she pointed to Will just as he stood up, "Still in love with you!"

"Shut up," he told her as he approached her.

"NO I will not shut up!" She looked back at me still pissed off, "We haven't had sex in months!" she told me.

"What does that have to do with me?! It's not like I made you stop having sex!" I told her defensively.

"He calls your name out when we have sex!" she yelled over Will's attempts to shut her up.

I looked at him in disgust as I placed my hand on my flat tummy, "I really wish I hadn't eaten breakfast now," I announced to the room.

"How do you think I feel?" she asked me. "The first couple of months I was okay with it because I thought we were role playing or something. But he never stopped. You need to tell him," she told him.

I looked over at Edward as I ran my fingers through my hair. He had a mixture of emotions on his face. He looked mad yet pity was written all over his face at the same time. I looked back over at Angela, "What exactly am I supposed to tell him to make him stop…doing that?" I asked as I changed the end of my question.

"Tell him how you feel about him," she told me.

I crossed my arms over my chest and looked over at Will, "Two years and you still haven't gotten over me yet? All you're doing is torturing yourself Will. And now you're making Ang suffer too. Why did you even marry her if you weren't even in love with her?" I asked confused.

"I was trying to move on," he replied back.

"It obviously didn't work. Look I already told you that I don't love you. You need to get over me and just…move on like you wanted to. The only reason you haven't yet is because you still have some amount of hope that I might correspond back. You're still hooked because you want to be. Just forget about me…I forgot about you," I told him.

A/N: Ouch. That's gotta hurt! Okay so what do you think about the whole Will calling out Bella's name out when he's having sex with Angela? Tell me what you think! Review please!
