BPOV

Today was grocery day, which meant the three of us were on a mission to Whole Foods. Usually Kenz and I went shopping on grocery day, but today Edward was hell bent on going with us.

The first thing that sent him into a tizzy was I wanted to drive my truck. It was a five-minute battle that I ultimately won. Once we were in the car he sat all mopey and would nit-pick on how I was driving. Kenz sat there quietly watching him with a curious expression.

"I wish you would have let me drive." He sighed as I pulled into the parking lot.

"Why are you being all whiny today? You hate Whole Foods anyway." I snapped. It was true he hated natural food and would always go elsewhere to get his own groceries.

"I wanted to shop with you is that a crime?" he mumbled.

"No…it's just out of character for you."

"Things change, that's life, Bella." He snapped.

"You are fucking weird." I said only loud enough so he could hear me.

I grabbed a cart. "Come here, baby." I said reaching for Kenzie to put her in the back of the cart. She was too big to ride in the front so I allowed her to sit in the back as long as she behaved.

Edward followed quietly behind me as we begun our mission. I went straight for breakfast foods.

I was looking at the different kinds of eggs while Edward had an amusing conversation with Kenzie on where eggs came from. "But Daddy there are no chickies in there when you break them?" It was only making both of them more confused.

"Bella Swan?" I nasally voice asked.

"Yup." I said popping the 'p'. I turned around to see who was greeting me and soon regretted even acknowledging I was Bella Swan.

"Jessica." I gritted out.

Jessica Stanley was always semi-nice to me and for that I tolerated her. The thing I hated her for was in tenth grade we were at a party Emmett was throwing during his and Edward's winter break from UW. Edward was pissed Emmett told me about the party because he thought I was too young to be there. I was pissed because all of Fork's High was there so I wasn't the only tenth grader invited; hell half of the freshmen class was in attendance.

Jasper was my savior. He grabbed a bottle of Jack and José and we hid out in the game room closet. While we were hiding out, Edward was busy eating Jessica out and fucking her against the door we were hiding behind. No one but Jasper knew that I bawled my eyes out and he held me the entire time. Ever since then Jazz has been my wingman.

Edward didn't know that I knew about their shenanigans until Jess's big mouth spread the tale of her conquest all around Forks. He called me everyday and I ignored him until he came back for the summer.

"Oh my God! It's been like what, seven year since I've seen you?" she asked. Her hair was still frizzy. The bump in her nose was gone and the twins definitely had work done.

"About that." I said quietly.

"Mommy, I want out." Kezie stated shooting daggers at Jessica. Did I mention how much I loved my child? I pulled the back of the cart to me and lifted her out. She buried her face in my neck, but was still able to glare at Jess.

I noticed Edward move closer behind me, his arm snaked around my waist making me aware of him. I gave him a curious glance.

"Ed-Edward Cullen?" she stuttered in disbelief.

Jessica was gazing at him dreamily and Edward was looking at me warily. Almost as though he was silently begging me not to kick his ass.

"Daddy," Kenzie pouted reaching out for Edward. I don't care if she is only four my kid knew what was going on and she was playing it up.

"Wait…what?" she asked dumbly furrowing her brow.

"I'm going to get her something to snack on." He whispered placing a kiss on his new favorite spot, my neck. He took Kenz and the cart with them.

Once out of the presence of Edward, Jessica snapped out of her daze. "So you have a child with him." She snipped. Whoa, there with the tone.

"I do." I said smugly.

"You and Edward Cullen." She let out a humorless laugh.

"Yes." I said through clenched teeth.

"Unbelievable." She spat out.

"It was nice seeing you, Jess." I huffed walking away from her. That bitch. It wasn't that unbelievable, was it?

I guess from her point of view it was laughable that Edward would want to be with me. He was an Adonis. Every girl in high school and college threw themselves at him. He ate up every moment of it. The only reason he slept with me, plain Bella Swan was because he was drunk. So Jessica had every right to be shocked.

I wasn't going to cry, I wasn't going to cry, I wasn't going to cry, and I want to cry!

I walked down the aisle with my head down and felt the tears streaming down my face. The realization hit I trapped Edward into having a fake happy little family with me and people noticed just by looking at us.

I felt one arm pull me to their chest. He was still holding Kenz and I didn't want her to see me crying so I turned my head into his shoulder. I wasn't fooling her though because she started playing with my hair and kept whispering, "Love you, Mommy" in my ear.

I tried to hide my face from Edward too, but was unsuccessful. "I'm so sorry, Bella." He sighed placing a chaste kiss on my lips.

I wiped my face on the shoulder of his t-shirt and took Kenzie into my arms. It was time for the big girl act so I plastered a smile on my face. "You're never coming grocery shopping with me again." I teased.

He didn't take it as joking though. "I wanted to spend time with you." He told me sadly.

I looked up into his beautiful emerald eyes. Something has been off with him for the past two weeks. He was almost being clingy. With Kenzie it was understandable, but with me it was baffling. Even when we slept at night he would cling to me and whisper inaudible thing in my hair.

He was in a way becoming more loving with me. And that broke my heart a little because I was getting use to this new Edward. I didn't want him to go anywhere.

"And I love you for that." I said kissing his cheek.

"Stanley had a lot of work done."

"I hate to see her when she's sixty, she'll be Joan Rivers twin." I giggled.

"You still look like you did back in high school." He said softly, tracing my face with his fingers.

"Plain as ever." I tried joking, but it wasn't a joke.

"No, gorgeous as ever." He said firmly.

"You think I'm gorgeous?" I stated inquisitively.

He nodded slowly. "God Bella, you've never been able to see yourself clearly."

I turned my head to look at him curiously. He was being serious. He must have seen my doubt because he continued. "You carried our daughter for nine months and you have raised her. You being a mother to Mackenzie makes you the most beautiful women to me."

Again he only finds me beautiful out of obligatation for carrying his child. "Thank you." Was all I said snuggling Kenzie closer to me. "I think we're done shopping now."

"Lets go home." He sighed pulling me to his side.

We loaded what few groceries Kenzie and him picked up and left Whole Foods. I decided to let Edward drive. Grocery day was always a tranquil part of my week and now it was shot to hell. "Em, needs me to work at Eclipse again."

"Is he signing you on as staff now?" I joked.

"I told him I would help out as long as he needed it." He shrugged.

"You're a good little brother." I smiled pinch his cheek.

"Anyway would you want to go with me and keep me company?" he asked nervously.

"Who would watch Kenz?"

"Mom said she would."

"So you work and I just hangout at the bar with you?"

"Like back in college." He reminded me.

Edward was a head bartender for Emmett's first club Twilight. I wasn't old enough to get in, but Edward put my name on the list and told the bouncer that he would get fired if he didn't let me in. So I would go and sit at the end of the bar. In between customers he would come over and tell me stories about the people he was serving.

"Sure."

We settled into a comfortable silence until Mackenzie broke it.

"Mommy?" she asked brushing her crazy curls out of her eyes.

"Yes?" I giggled.

"Why was that woman funny looking?" I knew she was talking about Jessica.

"What do you mean, baby?"

"She looked like Cruella Da Ville." She said crinkling her nose in disgust.

"Her hair isn't like hers."

"No it looks like a nest, like the lady we saw in the park." She said nodding to Edward.

"The bird lady." Edward mumbled. I knew who they were talking about. There was a homeless lady who talked and fed the birds in the park.

"It's not nice to say things like that, monk. It can make someone sad." Edward explained to her.

"Oh, sorry." She mumbled kicking her little feet.

We went back into silence the only thing playing in the background was Radiohead on Edward's iPod. I was looking out the window watching the city pass us by and He did something he had never done before. He gently lifted my hand and held it in his the remainder of the trip home.

I turned my head even more to hide the smile on my face.
