It was finally Saturday, after a stress filled week. Rose had gone out earlier in the day giving me a chance to spend some quality time with my son. We didn't go out instead we stayed at home making cupcakes together and watching some of Elijah's favourite movies. I hadn't really spoken to Alice since the day she came over. We had seen each other at work and said hi but we both didn't have much time to have a conversation. I had just put Elijah down for a sleep when my phone rang.
"Bella I'm so sorry." It was Alice.
"Alice how did you get my number and what are you sorry for?" I didn't remember giving it to her.
"I got it from people at work and I'm sorry for what's about to happen." What does she mean what's about to happen.
"I don't know what you're talking about Alice have you had too much coffee. You're not making any sense." Just then there was a loud knock on my door.
"Hold on someone's here I'll talk to you later." I hung up before Alice could say anything more. I opened the door to the last person I thought I would see there.
"Edward" I was shocked why was he here outside of my house.
"Bella" He walked into my house without being asked what was it with these Cullens and walking in here without an invitation.
"We need to talk." He said with no emotion in his voice. We sat at the kitchen table neither of us really knowing what to say.
"How did you know where I lived?" I asked breaking the silence.
"I heard Jasper and Alice talking about you so I went through her address book. How's Elijah?" It stung my heart that he thought to ask about Elijah even after everything I did.
"He's good, he's just sleeping now."
"How are you Bella?"
"I'm fine, I suppose. How are you?" We were being pleasant but I knew this wouldn't last long we were on the edge and we were about to fall off.
"I've been better. To be honest I've been shit the last year." I looked down not knowing what to say or do.
"I'm sorry."
"Sorry doesn't really fix it." He said with a bit of anger
"I know but it's all I have. I'd do anything to take it back but I can't."
"Why the hell did you do it? Wasn't I enough for you?" He was pissed at me and he had every right to be.
"We both got really drunk and it just happened. I was just sick of having to be the perfect little house wife so I just let go for the one night and the shit hit the fan."
"I never forced you to be a house wife. You could have done anything you wanted."
"I know but you were so good to me Edward I felt like you deserved the best wife possible."
"Well in all honesty you failed at that. I would have rather you go and get a job then screw a low life bastard. God I loved you so much Bella. We've together since we were 16 for Christ sakes. I wanted everything with you and you threw it all away." He was yelling by now.
"I'm sorry Edward I wish I could go back in time to change everything but I can't." He stood up and looked down at me.
"You know what is worst is that you lied to me about our son. I loved that little boy like he was mine when you said he wasn't mine that was a kick in the balls." He was getting louder and louder until finally Elijah's cry stopped both of us. I raced to his room picking him up trying to sooth him. I didn't realise Edward had followed me. Elijah looked up at Edward trying to figure out who he was. While Edward looked down on him trying to figure out who he reminded him off. It all fell into place then for Edward.
"YOU SLEPT WITH MY BROTHER!" He was pulling at his hair trying to get his frustration out without being violent.
"I'm so sorry Edward we didn't mean for it to happen. We were just really drunk and I know that's no excuse." I was sobbing for the hurt that I had caused Edward. He truly looked like a broken man.
"Please Edward just say something." I reached towards him trying to get him to talk to me.
"GET OFF ME YOU SLUT." I sobbed harder because he was exactly right. He turned and left the house with a slam of my door. My son was hysterical from the yelling that just occurred in front of him and me crying wasn't helping him at all. I composed myself thinking of my son and what I needed to do to make sure he was ok. I had just settled Elijah and put his favourite movie on when Rose walked through the door. She ran straight to me.
"You look like shit what happened?" She said grabbing my face in between her hands so I had no choice but to look at her.
"Edward showed up and he vented a bit." Her face turned into a mask of anger then.
"He didn't hurt you did he?" I shook my head the best I could with her hands holding me.
"No he would never do that he just yelled a bit and woke up Elijah and when I went to touch him he called me a slut storming off. Nothing I didn't deserve I swear."
"You didn't deserve to be called a slut Bella. You're far from one you just made a mistake, which I might remind you, actually gave you the best gift of all and that is Elijah." She said smiling. She always knew how to make me feel better about everything. She was right it was a mistake but if I didn't do it then I wouldn't have Elijah who was my life.
