BPOV

Today was already a shitty day. I woke up and hit my toe on the nightstand; Edward shot out of bed and was in front of me checking to see if I was all right. He'd been hovering the past two days, I just wanted to scream or hit him or something. I know spousal abuse is frowned upon, but I think if I could hit him every time he annoyed me when I was five then it should still count now.

After the whole Bella's a klutz incident, Carl decided it didn't like Edward's soap and I almost threw up on him. If it wasn't for me getting sick and barley making the toilet I probably would have laughed at the priceless look on his face.

Then as we were getting ready to leave for my dad's Kenzie decided to pitch a fit because we were leaving Hendrix with Alice for the day. Guess what? Edward caved as usual and let her bring the damn dog.

"You can't still be mad, love. You're holding my hand," he said nodding towards our joined hands on the console.

"I only like your hand," I said nonchalantly, looking out the window.

"You only like what my hands can do," he smirked.

I said nothing leaving my hand in his stupid fucking hand. When we pulled into the driveway, Charlie was sitting on the front porch steps. His chin was resting in his hands as he looked at the angry woman in front of him. He looked bored.

"Stay in the car," Edward ordered.

I raised an eyebrow at him because he did not just order me. I glanced back out the window now noticing the woman. Her hair was short, almost like Alice's, but what freaked me out the most was she looked like me. I always thought I looked like Charlie, but I was wrong I was like her.

I could feel the fury build within me. I felt Edward's hand cup my cheek bringing my attention to him.

"Bella, you both need to stay in the car. If not for me then do it for Kenzie and Carl," he pleaded moving his hand to my stomach. "You don't need the stress."

I thought about it and he was right. I nodded to him and he kissed my head before slipping out of the driver's seat.

He walked up to them with his hands in his pockets. Charlie smiled at whatever he said and looked in my direction. This only added more fuel to Renee's production. Now she was yelling at Edward, while poking him in the chest. He shrugged at her and Charlie stood up, his face now bright red.

"Mom-me," Kenz yelled.

"Yeah?" I said reluctantly as I was focused on the showdown.

"Jamie's in the window," she said pointing to the guestroom window. Low and behold, it was the boy from the cruiser on my wedding day.

His face almost looked concerned, for whom I wasn't quite sure. "How do you know his name's Jamie, monk?"

"Cause I played with him a couple times, he is a horsy." She did come up with Seth and Sue the past few weeks so it was possible.

"Was he nice?"

"He's a good boy, Mommy. He gave me extra cookies I wasn't supposed to tell Grammy Sue, she said no more, he gave me more," she explained.

I turned in my seat and saw an adoring look on her face. Maybe the delinquent wasn't as badass as he was trying to be.

"Grammy Sue yelled at him for the cloud."

"The cloud?"

"Like Daddy, until I coughed lots," she said.

So James was busted for smoking. Edward used to smoke until we found out Kenz had asthma; he quit right then and there. His bad boy image instantly changed to worried Daddy. The other smoking was only done at Jazz's, pre-fight.

"No clouds were near you?"

"He did it outside he was hiding in Pap's car."

"What did Pap do?"

"He made a funny face and kissed my head. Grammy Sue was mad," she mused.

I turned to look at the battle and saw Renee heading toward the car. Edward was following with a pissed off look on his gorgeous face. Charlie wrapped his arm around her waist, picking her up taking her back to where they first were. That's when Sam Uley pulled up in his cruiser.

What the hell was going on? Sue stepped out onto the porch with the phone in her hand and a smirk on her face. Renee started yelling, the hand gestures were giving her away. I looked back at Kenzie she was looking out at the yard my headrest was thankfully blocking her view.

Sam stood calmly trying to get her in the back of the cruiser as Charlie tried to help him. Edward hurried back to the car sliding in his seat.

"What was that?"

"That was Renee trying to get James back," he sighed

"What was her attack on you for?"

"For taking you away," he said through gritted teeth.

"Come again?"

"Can we talk about this some other time?" He asked looking back at Mackenzie who was giving him a cheesy smile. For what, I don't know, but he was giving her one right back. I opened my door as Sam started pulling out; he gave me a sympathetic smile. Renee saw me and her eyes seemed to widen.

"Bells," Charlie sighed pulling me into a hug. He wasn't affectionate, but I could tell he needed this.

"You okay, Dad?"

"Now that the battleaxe is gone," he chuckled.

"Dad…" I tried but he cut me off.

"Come on kiddo they went in." I looked around noticing that Edward took Kenzie in with them.

We walked into the living room where Sue and Edward were already sitting. I snuggled into Edward's lap on the loveseat as his hands rested on my stomach. Charlie gave us both a curious look.

"So dad when are you going to finish the play house in the backyard?" I asked sticking with our plan.

"When Seth decides to quit being lazy and helps an old man out," he retorted shooting Seth a look.

"Maybe June then?"

"You have your own house Bells, why don't you build one yourself," Seth snorted.

"It's hard for pregnant woman to build things, no I take that back I could probably try but, Edward wouldn't let me."

"A baby," Sue squealed, tightly hugging both Edward and me.

"How will this affect your recovery, Bells?" Charlie asked glaring at Edward. Sue let go of us and went to stand next to the recliner, putting her hand on my dad's shoulder.

"No glaring at the husband, glare at me I'm the one who jumped him," I defended.

"Jesus Bells, I don't need to know that," he huffed as I giggled.

"The Chief owns a lot of guns, don't you love me?" Edward hissed as his forehead hit the back of my shoulder.

"How far along are you?" Sue gushed coming back over, unclasping Edward's hand from around me lifting up my shirt.

I felt my face heat up as Seth and Charlie were in the room. Her hand went straight to the bump, I turned my head and saw Edward's grin.

"Um, a bit over thirteen weeks," I said biting my lip.

"You can tell," she smiled and then frowned. "You're so tiny last time you were so big."

"That's my point," Charlie said back to glaring at Edward.

"I'll have to be put on bed rest and the doctor said she'll need to do a c-section," I explained.

"Everything else is good?" she asked.

"Other than that we have a clear bill of health," I smiled running my hand over my stomach.

"Now we'll have another one to spoil," Seth chuckled.

"Speaking of our spoiled children where is the one we brought with us?"

"She went up to see Jaime," Charlie said watching me carefully.

"Is that what he likes to be called?" I asked.

"I started calling him that and he seems to respond to it, honestly he's not that bad."

"Not that bad?" I said in disbelief. "Hello, drug bust at my wedding."

"Hello, drug bust in your room when you were fifteen," he countered nodding towards me, but I knew it was to Edward.

"Hey, I did my time Chief," Edward argued. "You actually made Jazz and I fulfill our community service."

"I didn't charge you idiots."

"Still we did our time," he grumbled.

I turned giving him a sweet kiss. "I have a thing for badass guys," I whispered.

"Noted," he grinned against my lips.

"Could you please…not," Charlie sighed shaking his head.

"Seriously though Dad, I don't like the idea of him…"

"Stop there, Bells," he said holding his hand up. "He's a good kid just a little rough around the edges. I'm surprised, you're usually not one to judge others."

"I'm sorry the drugs and the rap sheet have me a little skittish," I replied dryly.

My dad stood and grabbed my hand gently pulling me off Edward's lap. I frowned at him, but he just shrugged. He tugged me up the stairs with him, stopping in front of the playroom that was my old room.

I heard the one-sided chattering of my daughter as Charlie cracked the door open. "Dora, I love that dress," she gushed to the doll James was holding.

"Thank you, Miss Mack," he replied in a higher pitched voice.

That about did me in right there. Charlie knew and placed his hand over my mouth, nodding back toward them. Here sat the rugged looking kid, his sandy brown hair cropped short, five o'clock shadow, and lanky frame made him look at least nineteen or twenty. What was he doing playing dolls with a creative four- year- old girl?

We watched them for a while longer; dad never removing his hand, because let's face it we would have been caught. Kenz sat on his lap and pulled out a book for him to read once he was finished she hugged him.

"You're a good reader, like Daddy," she told him seriously.

"Did your Daddy bring you here this time?" he asked, but the kid knew we were here, he was looking out the window earlier.

"Mommy's here too," she beamed.

"Are they nice?" he asked awkwardly.

"Sometimes," she said thoughtfully. Brat! "Mommy is getting a new baby."

"A new baby?" he asked in interest.

"Yeah, in her tummy," she patted her stomach. "Daddy told me that, but babies are outside right?"

"You should ask your dad about that," he chuckled with an evil grin. Edward would be so awkward with that conversation. I loved it!

"You want to see my Mommy?"

"Uh, I think I'll hang up here."

"Please, she is nice most the time and pretty and funny and she gives good hugs…" she trailed off pushing her hair out of her eyes.

"Good hugs, huh?"

"Like me! I give the best good hugs."

They were standing up and Charlie took my hand again as we made our way downstairs. I sat back down on Edward's lap receiving a curious look. "Later," I whispered.

James walked down the steps carrying Mackenzie. He looked nervous and I wasn't sure, but it was like she was his security blanket.

"Mommy look, Jamie!" she sung excitingly.

I stood walking over to them and hugged him. He stiffened for a second and then patted my back cautiously. He looked at me confused when I pulled away.

"I give good hugs," I explained shrugging, and then moved back to Edward.

I could tell by my dad's face that he was very happy and I could see a little pride. That made me feel like everything might just work out.
