I awoke only a few hours later so the patter of rain, the boom of thunder and banging on my front door.
I stood up and glanced at my clock
2:30
Was it Emmett again?
I walked down the upstairs hallway and down the stairs, fidgeting with the ring on my finger. I still wore the promise ring that Edward had given me. Although I knew the promise was broken I still felt empty without it.
I went to the front door and paused.
I heard more knocking. I took a deep breath and opened it.
Edward Cullen was on my doorstep.
He was dripping wet with rain. He had a pained expression.
" How did you find me?" I asked. Okay stupid question.
" Why didnt you tell me?" He asked
I sighed " Tell you what Edward?" I asked.
Yes playing dumb was childish but I had to do anything to keep away from this conversation.
" Bella dont play with me. Why didnt you tell me you were pregnant?"
I took a deep breath. " How about you come in dry off and we'll talk about it." I suggested. He nodded.
He looked the exact same as he used to. I walked to the laundry room and grabbed some clean towels. I grabbed two of them and walked back to the foyer. I handed him the towels. Our hands brushed and I still felt that same spark. He dried off.
" Here I'll take the towels. The family room is just around the corner. I'll be there in a second." I took the towels and went to the laundry room. I put them in the basket.
I leaned against the dryer.
How was I supposed to do this? Just come out and say everything.
YES!
My mind shouted at me. I took a deep breath and headed to the family room. I turned on the back light that was over the fireplace. I sat across from him.
" Why did you tell me? I dont understand. You changed your number and just left." He said.
" After you said that we needed a...a break. I was sad and upset so I changed my number. I knew it was stupid because you said you would call me again and you just needed time but it cut me deep. Then I found out I was pregnant." I paused
" Just tell me one thing. Charlie is mine right?"
I nodded.
" Bella why couldnt you tell me. I would of been there for you through everything. It makes me angry to know I missed out on my own daughters life. Do you know how that made me feel? I felt deprived that a life that I made was kept from me. Yes I found out yesterday but it doesnt matter." He said.
I looked down. Tears fell silently down my cheeks. Then I looked up at him.
" Do you know how I felt when you left. You ripped my heart out, cut it in half, put it in the blender and spilled it on the floor." I stated.
" Bella. You changed your number and moved. How was I supposed to know where you were?"
" You shouldnt of left in the first place." I argued
" It was a stupid excuse but it was too much. I was trying to be with you and go to school. It was hard. It was too much. I knew that you needed me but I could be with you and school." He responded.
I looked at him. He had the same pained expression.
" Im sorry and I know that it doesnt make it better but I am. I wanted to tell you and Alice, Rose, Em and Jasper hounded me to do it but I couldnt.I couldnt hurt you." I said
" You did. It's too late now." He said.
More tears went down my face. " Then why are you here? I cant take losing you again." I said while sobbing. I felt his arms wrap around me. I turned my body around and put my arms around him. I cried into his chest. He rubbed circles on my back.
I dont know how long we stayed like that.
I pulled away and wiped my tears. " Sorry" I muttered.
" Its alright." He said. His arm was still around my waist.
" Will you ever forgive me?" I asked without looking at him.
He sighed " Can I be in her life?" He asked.
I wanted Charlie to know her dad " Yes" I said.
" Then were okay for now." He responded. " She's beautiful. We do good together" He said. I could tell he was joking at the last part.
" Everyone said that."
He chuckled. I missed that.
I knew that everything wasnt going to go bak to how it was. It was like Lindsay Lohan in parent trap. Couple breaks up meet again then they just forget everything and they are together again. Doesnt work like movies. Yes I still loved him the same I always did. My love for him will never fade.
" So how did you find out where I lived?" I asked
" I forced it out of Alice after the event." He told me.
I laughed.
" So where's Charlie?" He asked
" Alice wanted to take her tonight. I guess she already made a room for her. Crazy pixie." I said.
" So why did you name her Charlie?" He asked
I took a deep breath " Well before Charlie was born my dad died. He was shot on duty. They were after a guy and accidentaly shot him. He knew I was pregnant, He actually wanted to fly out here and help me but it was too late. So I named her Charlotte and call her Charlie." I answered
He smiled and my heart skipped a beat.
" Breath Bella." He said. I took a deep breath " Nice to know I have the same effect on you." He finished. I smacked his arm.
" It's that smile of yours, not my fault." I responded
He chuckled.
" So... Got any special girl?" I asked. Yes Alice already answered but I needed to hear it straight from the horses mouth.
" Just one." He said. His hand reached out and he brushed a peice of hair behind my ear.
" Who?" I rasped out.
" You. Its always been you." He said simply
I sighed " Edward I-"
He cut me off " I dont expect anything from you. I'll stay and just be your friend. I am not going to push you." He stated
" Edward." I started " I want to be more but... I want to work up to it. If thats okay." I told him.
" Anything for you." He said.
I glanced at my clock
5:01
" Shit" I muttered.
" What?" He asked
" Its five in the morning." I stated
He sighed " I better get home. Good thing I dont have work tomorrow." He said
" Did you get a job at the hospital?" I asked
" Yeah. I actually got to graduate early its normally ten years but I got off at six because my grades were all straight A's." He said
" Way to brag." I joked.
I stood up as well as him and we walked towards the front door.
I opened the door. Edward leaned forward and gave me a hug and kissed the top of my head.
" Can I have your number?" He asked
I laughed " Sounds like a first date." I explained. He laughed
I wrote my cell number down and handed it to him.
He walked out the door. " Bye" He said
" Yeah. Bye." I closed the door and went back to my room. I laid in my bed.
I was glad that he knew. I know had no secrets every door was open and I was honest and it felt good. I was happy that he wanted to be in my...Our daughters life and I was excited for Charlie also. She has always been curious as to her father was. She had never seen a picture. I had one picture but I didnt want to show it to her knowing that if Edward came back she would know imediatly who he was. I wanted then to become friends then let her know.
I closed my eyes and fell asleep with a smile on my face
Authors note- Yeah so no jumping into a relationship. I have to do it. I cant let her just take him back. So he knows everything. Now Charlie will not no who he actaully is for a little while I am going to take that slow also atleast five chapters or more til she finds out. So yeah do your job and review even if you just say 'good'
