RPOV:

"Ms. Hale, Mr. Cullen is here to see you..." James' voice rang over the intercom in my office. I glanced at the clock, it was 11:30 AM. He was early.

He called Sunday morning asking to meet with me Monday afternoon. We made plans to meet for lunch.

"Send him in," I said. Seconds later the door to my office creaked open and in walked Edward. Instead of the worn out, scruffy Edward that I was accustomed to seeing, I saw something completely different. He was cleanly shaven, hair actually done and tame. He was dressed in a nice pair of jeans and a black button down shirt, un-tucked, sleeves rolled up to his elbows.

"Afternoon, Rosie," he smirked, leaning over my desk to kiss my cheek before sitting down.

"Afternoon, Edward," I said a little skeptical. What's going on? Where's my best friend? "You're early, Edward."

He buried his face in his hands before running his fingers through his hair, messing his locks up. That's a little better. He pinched the bridge of his nose and looked up at me. His green eyes sparkling in the light.

And...There's my best friend.

"Rosalie, I need to tell you something," he said, confusion and hurt in his eyes.

"What's up?"

"This is a lawyer-client sort of something…" he explained.

"Alright…" I trailed off.

"So Saturday night at my parents' anniversary party I ran into Tanya..." he started.

I looked him dead in the eyes. This was not good.

"Listen, I don't want to talk about it, but I need you to re-do those divorce papers. All the demands that she wanted, give them to her. Our house in Bellevue, my studio in Manhattan, everything we were fighting over. She told me I could keep the cabin on Mount Rainer. Everything else, is hers," he explained pinching the bridge of his nose, yet again.

He was stressed out and that was the classic Edward-Cullen-stressed-out move. It annoyed me so much, but it was Edward. That's what he did.

I scoffed at those words. What was he doing? What was he thinking?

"Edward, I'm going to take a deep breath and pretend I didn't just hear you say that," I said taking a deep breath. I looked at him, he was still as serious as before. "What the hell are you thinking Edward? As your lawyer, I'm asking! All those hours spent negotiating with her damn prick of a lawyer, which let me tell I'm sure she's screwing, down the drain! What has gotten into that thick head of yours!" I yelled.

"Rose, please I don't want to talk about it. It was necessary. It's a story for another day. Believe me, when you find out, it'll be worth it. Please, for me, Rosie. Don't be mad, just do as I ask. Please…" he pleaded.

What was I supposed to do? It was my job to do what he asked. Who cared that I sat in a boring conference room listening to Tanya's lawyer argue with me? There was nothing I could do.

"Alright, whatever you say Edward. I'm not happy about this, at all. Mark my words Edward Cullen. I better be getting a damn good Christmas present this year!"

He smirked. "How about that lunch Rosie?"

"I think that I'm feeling sushi today," I said sarcastically. "And I'm not kidding, Edward Cullen. You better be getting me a damn good Christmas present. You're a doctor, I know how much you make." I poked him in the chest.

"Don't worry, Rosalie. You've been good this year, Santa will be bring you something nice," he said with smirk.

"He better, damn it!" I exclaimed as I grabbed my stuff and walked out arm in arm with Edward.

EPOV:

The alarm clock went off and I rolled over in the bed to turn it off. I rolled back to pull Bella back into my arms.

"Mmmm. Good morning, love..." I murmured into her ear.

"Edward…." she whispered.

"I've got to get up. I need to be at Rosalie's in forty-five."

She turned over and faced me. Her hair was tousled all over from sleeping.

"I bet I look horrendous," she grumbled, pulling the covers over her head.

"You still look beautiful," I said as I tugged the covers from her grip and placed a soft kiss on her lips.

"It's Wednesday, you're off today. I'm dropping Leilah off at Charlie's. How long you going to be at Rose's?" she flirted.

I smiled.

"We're signing the papers today," I admitted.

"You're doing what?" she exclaimed in surprise. I must have forgotten to tell her that.

"I'm going to Rosalie's office to meet with Tanya for the last time. We're signing the divorce papers this morning," I admitted. I ran my fingers through my hair. Was I really doing the right thing?

"That's right. You're giving her everything," she said her voice dropping to a whisper as she hung her head down.

"It was more of an understanding. It was something I needed to do." I placed my hand under her chin, raising her face so her brown eyes were looking straight at me. "I met with Rosalie Monday. I told her to make all the necessary changes. After today I'll be a free man, Bella. Free to be yours, forever." She smiled at my comment and nuzzled it my chest.

She started to place soft kisses all over, eventually find her way up to my neck.

"Bella…" I pleaded. "Not now, don't start something you can't finish."

"Who says I can't finish it?" she smirked.

This girl was going to be the death of me.

There was a soft knock on the door followed by the door being flung open. I glanced over Bella's body and could see the top of Leilah's head running towards the bed. She threw herself on top of the bed and jumped on Bella.

"Ah! Leilah…" Bella grunted. Leilah giggled and wiggled her way in between the two of us.

"Like I said, don't start something you can't finish..." I whispered, chuckling to myself.

"What was that Edward?" Bella questioned.

"Nothing." I smirked.

"Mommy, I'm hungry. Will you make me French twost before we go see Grandpa Charlie?" she questioned.

"Of course sweetie, let's get that started," Bella said slowly getting out of bed. Leilah darted out of the room and that's what Bella whipped her head back to look at me.

"Don't think you're getting rid of me this easy, Mr. Cullen," she spat, flipping her hair back and walking out. She made sure to emphasize her hip sway.

I quickly got ready and headed over to Rosalie's office. When I pulled into the parking lot she was waiting for me out front. I shut the engine off and watched her walk over to my car.

"Edward, are you sure about this? It's not too late you know?" she questioned as I opened the car door. She quickly handed me the manila envelope that held what I was guessing my divorce papers.

"Thanks for caring Rose, but I have to do this. You'll understand why later. Thank you for doing this by the way," I said pulling her into a hug.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah whatever Cullen. Let's get this over with," she said motioning for me to walk into the building.

The elevator to the seventh floor was silent, that was until about the fifth floor when Rosalie broke the silence.

"Emmett was looking for you last night. You didn't come home from work..." she stated.

I looked at her. She looked curious. Shit, what do I tell her? What am I supposed to do? Think Cullen, think!

"Oh I was just staying over with one of my colleagues. We got done late last night with a surgery and I needed a place to crash," I explained. That worked, right?

"Sure, what about all the other nights? Em told me he's come home several mornings and you were gone. Those days being your days off. What gives, Edward?"

Damn! Bella would kill me if I told her. What am I supposed to say?

DING! The elevator doors opened. Saved by the bell.

I quickly walked out of the elevator and towards the conference room.

"Don't think you're getting out of this one that easy, Cullen!" Rosalie yelled as she tried to catch up to me.

I opened the door to find Tanya and her lawyer sitting at the table already. I watched as Tanya got out of her chair to walk over to me. She had on a very tight black pencil skirt, which left nothing to your imagination. And a simple emerald short sleeved button down, which had the top four buttons un-buttoned, plenty of cleavage showing.

"Eddie, dear, I was surprised to hear from you," she stated pulling me in for a hug. I returned the gesture and let her go. Rosalie walked into the room and scoffed when she saw the two of us hugging. She continued to shake Tanya's lawyer's, Mr. Carmichael, hand and took a seat.

"Tanya, Edward, if you two would kindly take a seat. I would like to get this over with," Rosalie declared.

I nodded and took a seat next to her. I set the envelope down on the table. Rosalie picked it up, pulled the contents out and handed both Tanya and I a stack of papers.

"Here's the copy of the papers. You'll notice the revisions, Mr. Carmichael, I sent your office a copy yesterday. Did everything look up to par?" Rosalie asked directing her question towards Mr . Carmichael.

"Yes, I've discussed the terms with my client and she's agreed to the conditions," he said, but not before glancing at Tanya as she nodded in agreement.

"Alright then. I've attached flags to every place you both need to sign. Go ahead. Let's make this official," Rosalie said handing us both a black pen. I smiled as I took it from her hand.

This was it, the end. I flipped through each page signing my name on each line needed, until I got to the very last page. My heart skipped a beat. At the very bottom of the left corner of the page was a line and underneath it read "Edward A. Cullen"

The last signature. The signature that ended it all with Tanya, made it official. The signature that allowed Bella and I to finally be together the way we wanted to be together.

I placed the pen on the paper and began to sign my name. Placing a period at the end of my last name. That small punctuation mark meant a lot. It signified the beginning of something new. The beginning of a new chapter in my life. A chapter that included two very special women in my life. My Bella and little Leilah.

I looked up from the paper. I glanced to my right where Rosalie sat. She was grinning from ear to ear. The look of triumph on her face. She was genuinely happy for me. I was finally free, a single man, well sort of.

I glanced across the table at Tanya. She was sitting there a smug grin on her face. Her hands nicely folded, resting on top of the papers.

"So that's it, Eddie?" she asked.

"That's it," I responded. I got up and walked towards the door. Rosalie stayed to talk things over with Tanya's lawyer. I pressed the button to go down on the elevator.

"It was great while it lasted, Edward," Tanya said as she took her place next to me. I looked at her. I could see the hurt in her eyes, but I could also see the relief.

"It was, Tanya. Do me a favor?"

"What's the Edward?" she questioned.

"Move on. Find someone who you genuinely care about, someone who can give you what you need. Be there for you when you need them to be," I pleaded. The bell for the elevator dinged and the doors opened. I motioned for her to step in and I followed her in.

"Always was a gentleman Edward, always," she admitted as the door shut. "I'll find someone, I promise you that. Do me a favor, Eddie?"

I looked at her. She was looking me deep in the eyes.

"What's that Tanya?"

"Take care of Bella. She deserves to be treated with all the love and respect you can give her. She'll be good for you, Edward. She can give you everything I never could. I'm happy for you, Edward. I really am. I want you to know that," she said with the most sincere look in her eyes. It surprised me a little coming from her. She seemed so bitter when it came to our divorce. To see her opening up and embracing it made me smile.

"Thanks, Tanya, that means a lot coming from you. I'm in it for the long run with, Bella." I looked at her face. She looked skeptical.

"This coming from you, Edward Cullen, who just signed divorce papers," she said laughing.

"It's different. What Bella and I have, it's different," I said. The elevator dinged and the door opened. We walked out and I held the building door open for her.

She smiled and nodded at me. "Thanks Edward," she said with the most sincere tone in her voice. I walked her to her car. She paused before open her door.

I pulled her into a hug, for one last time. "I'll miss you, Eddie..." she cooed. I lifted her chin up so her eyes were looking at me. I could see the tears starting to form in her eyes.

"I'm here for you if you ever need me, okay?" I said. I let go of her and opened her door. She slid in and I shut the door. I walked up to the curb as I watched her pull out of the spot and drive away.

"You going to be okay, Edward?" I turned around to see Rosalie standing there.

"Yeah I'll be fine. It's just a lot to handle you know?" I said as she walked to my side and wrapped her arms around my torso. I wrapped my arm around her.

"I understand. You're a good man, Edward. You'll find someone to make you whole. I just know it," she said.

"Oh I know I will," I said with determination.

If she only knew.

Well? I think it's safe to say that Tanya is out of Edward's life for good. I think... :D Does anybody else feel like there's a sense of closure for Edward and Tanya? anyone?

Alright...I'm off to write...I've been inspired and I'm not going to waste that good inspiration on nothing...

You know the drill guys...review, review, review! they made the world go round!
