There were certain things that I never pictured myself doing as a grown woman, the first living in the same house as my father and second sitting in the hospital with a broken because I got into a fist fight. Eight and a half month pregnant and I am punching people out. In my defense he had it coming for nearly decade in the making but when he began talking about my baby being the bastard child of a no good drunk, well that just pushed me over the edge. I knew coming back here that rumors would fly and soon everyone in the town would know my dirty secret that my perfect life with Forks' live in God was all a sham.

"Bells you know I am not a professional or anything but I am pretty sure that stress levels like this are not good for the baby." Jake chuckled from beside me. Since being back Jake and his wife Nessie have been very nice to me I think it is because Jake always felt bad for what he did back in high school. But now it didn't matter as long as I had someone on my side. I mean the Cullen's were all very kind about the whole deal but I could never ask them to go against Edward, he was their brother and son and I was just the daughter in law.

"Yeah well everyone wanted to just I was the only one with nerve enough to do it." Mike Newton had been bitter about the fact that I had turned him down yet again; ever since I have been back here he has been on me like a lost puppy. I was pregnant for crying out loud with another man's child and he still didn't get the hint.

"True, well the doctor said you are good to go but you have to take it easy until the little one comes. You can't handle any more stress Bells." I nodded my head and we made our way to the entrance of the hospital where Charlie and Nessie were waiting for us.

"Charlie, someone should tell her. I mean she is bound to find out that his guys have been calling around." Nessie whispered to my father.

"I know but the doctor said she can't handle anything else or else she might go into early labor. Look until he shows up here himself looking for those papers then I think we better just keep it to ourselves. I mean Bella must have her reasons for not signing those papers yet." They were talking about my divorce. Edward's lawyers were calling around again to try and get me to sign them before they become void after an extended point then new ones need to be drawn up. But I couldn't let go. As much as I wanted to hate him I couldn't. Never could. Even all those years I would cry myself to sleep in college after one of our breakups, I just couldn't hate him.

I rounded the corner making my presence known and the conversation quickly quieted.

"Well I am good to go. Can we go home now, I am exhausted." I tried to sound as if I hadn't just heard the conversation about my life being decided by others, but it never really worked well for me when I tried.

Time seemed to have flown by I thought now as I looked at my stomach in the mirror. I so wished that the Cullen's could have been a part of all this, I know that Esme would have loved to have another grandchild. I am sure that Alice has told them, but none of them came forward to say anything to me. Only about two weeks from my due date I picked up the phone and dialed a number that hadn't been used in a long time on my phone.

"Bella! How are you? I haven't talked to you in ages!" I had to laugh at Alice's ability to pick up no matter where we left off.

"Hello Alice, I was just calling to check in. It's been a long time. How are you? How is everyone else?" She would know who I was asking about. Ever since I heard Charlie and Nessie talking about his a few weeks ago, I couldn't get him off my mind.

"Same old, same old here. We are actually having a BBQ today with everyone. Would you like to say hello to them?"

"No Alice, I have nothing to say to them. I just wanted to call and let you know that the little something was happening soon and I will send you pictures as soon as it does." I chuckled but it hurt in my chest to know what life I had given up.

"You still haven't figured out if it was a boy or girl? Bella you know that I really wanted to buy it something!" Alice moaned. Well at least some things never changed.

"Alice, have you seen Edward? I have been looking for him but I can't seem to find him anywhere." I heard a woman's voice in the background. I knew the voice didn't belong to anyone I knew…Edward was dating. As soon as I heard Alice whisper that she hadn't seen him I knew I had to get off that phone.

"Well I am going to let you get back to the party; it sounds like you have a lot of guests." My voice was dead. I was dead.

"Bella, that wasn't what you are thinking. She is just someone that Rose invited to try and get Edward out of his funk but it didn't work, we haven't seen him all day." She said everything so fast before I could hang up but it didn't matter now, I was numb.

"I've got to go Alice. I will let you know about the baby. Bye." And I hung up, dropping the phone to the floor as I stood there shaking. I could feel nothing except a sharp pain near my chest and then water running down my leg. I was finally broken by the man who was my everything and I was about to have his baby.
