Chapter 21: Goodbye Until Tomorrow/ I Could Never Rescue You

EPOV

I knew Bella wasn't happy with me when I showed up unexpected at her house to pick her and our kids up. I just figured I'd save her from driving to her brothers house. What I didn't expect was for the asshole, I mean Jamie to show up as well. It really pissed me off that he was going to be there.

The car ride to Emmett and Rosalie's house was quick with Libby talking nonstop about Beauty and the Beast how Belle reminds her of her mother while Mason playing with his dinosaur that I bought him when I took them to an exhibit last weekend. I parked behind Jaspers car and got the two munchkins out of their car seats. I picked up Mason so he can reach to ring the doorbell.

"Sup rugrats, come here and give uncle Emmy a hug." Both kids ran to him almost knocking him off the ground with their force. It was quite hilarious. They both ran off to see Rose's growing baby bump. "Edward man how are ya?" He said giving me a man hug.

"How much have you had to drink?" I asked him noticing that he was extra happy.

"Not much, you know the usual two plus a few more, oh and Alice made some cocktail since Rose can't drink, I'm drinking on her behalf. So that's about it. For now." He said clearly drunk. "Where's my baby sis by the way?"

"She's on her way with Jamie." I replied grabbing myself a drink.

"I see. How do you feel about that?" He asked sounding less drunk, more serious.

"Honestly I fucking hate it. I know I have no right to feel this way since I was with Tanya and Bella had to put up with her."

"Dude, do you have any idea what she went through when you asked Tanya to move in with you?" I shook my head no. Bella never tells me what she's really feeling.

"She was devastated man. She kept saying it was time to move on which means she was never over you. I know my sister, she still loves you she's just too stubborn to admit it to you. You both need to communicate with each other better, you have two kids that are suffering from your stupidity. Everything could've been resolved if you would both talk you know that right."

I stood there not knowing what to say. When did Emmett get so smart? He was right, every time Bella and I try to talk we always end up arguing all over again.

I'm going to fight even harder for my family.

The drive to my brothers house was filled with awkward silence. Even the radio wasn't helping at all. The whole time I kept thinking where do I see myself and Jamie's relationship going. I know I can't give him all of me. So what can I give him?

I broke out of my reverie when Jamie opened the car door for me. I gave him a small smile which he returned. His hand caressed my cheek, he was looking into my eyes like he was searching for something. He must've found something because he began kissing me. I knew what the kiss meant.

He was saying goodbye.
