I know I've only just started updating again but I'm going on a delayed honeymoon tomorrow to Hobart (Tasmania), Sydney (New South Wales) and Newscastle (New South Wales) so I won't be updating for about 2 weeks, I rushed to get this chapter out to you so you could have it before me leaving. I'll try to write while I'm away but I just won't have internet acces to upload anything, sorry. : (

Chapter Twenty Nine

It had been a week since my confrontation with Edward and I had seen my son. My dad had told me that him and Sue normally saw Jackson at least twice a week and that when they rang Edward to see when he would drop Jackson off, Edward simply told them that he was spending more time with him this week and that maybe they'll see him next week.

When my dad told me that I was fuming it was one thing to keep my son away from me but it was another to keep him away from his grandparents just because I was here. That was something I wouldn't stand for. I tried to ring him after getting his number from my dad but as soon as he heard that it was me he hung up the phone and was ignoring any of my calls. I was getting annoyed I wanted to show Edward that I would be there for our son but he wasn't giving me the chance to do that by keeping him away. I would accept any role Edward would allow me to play in Jackson's life but I wouldn't accept not being able to be a part of it at all.

I decided I needed to talk to Edward and see if we could figure out what he would be comfortable with regards to me spending time with Jackson. I got Edwards address off my dad.

"Bells you sure this is a good idea." My dad said hesitant to let me go over there.

"Yes I mean he's not contacting me so we can sort this out so I'll go to him instead." I reasoned.

"Alright but if you need me or Sue just call." I nodded my head before making my way to my car and driving the short distances to Edwards's townhouse.

When I got there I walked to the door hoping that we could sort this out so that all the people involved could be happy. I only had to knock once before I heard giggling on the other side of the door and it opened to reveal Jackson standing there.

"Bella" He squealed as he wrapped his arms around my legs.

"Hey Jackson, I was wondering if your daddy is home I really need to talk to him." I asked him knowing full well that Edward was home because his car was out the front.

"Yeah I get him for you." He replied as he took my hand and dragged me into the house.

"Daddy" Jackson screamed making Edward run into the lounge room panicked.

"What's wrong little man?" Edward said before his eyes landed on me.

"Bella's here." Jackson said with a giggle at his father appearance.

"Jackson sweetie why don't you go to your room and play while I talk to your daddy." He nodded his head before running out of the room.

"There's nothing to talk about Bella." Edward said flatly.

"I believe there is Edward. Its one thing to keep him from me but it's another to keep him from my dad and Sue. They love that little boy more than anything and you not bringing him over this week like you've apparently done since he was a baby has hurt them. He's their grandson; don't punish them because you want to punish me." I ranted.

"Bella this has nothing to do with you. I will let my son see his grandparents when I wish for him to see them. If I decide to change the routine for a week then so be it, it's my choice." He bit back.

"Our son Edward, he's not just yours we both created him." I bit back just has harshly.

"But I'm the one who raised him while you were running around doing God knows what." I was annoyed he had no idea how hard I worked to get myself better so I could come back here. Yes it took me 3 years but I did it.

"Edward the whole time I was gone I was trying to get myself better. Yes I went to university but that helped me. I came back just like I promised and it might not be when you wanted it to be but I still came back." I tried to reason.

"That doesn't change the fact that you left! You left your son Bella, how can I forgive that." He yelled.

"I don't expect you to forgive me Edward. The only thing I expect from you is to allow me to see our son even if it is only every so often and not punish my parents because of me." I snapped back not yelling as loudly as him.

"Well don't expect me to do that. Jackson is my son you gave up your responsibility the moment you walked out that door." He yelled in my face.

"I'm his mother Edward. I'm not leaving so you better get use to the idea of me wanting to get to know him. Jackson is my son as well and I will fight you until I can see him." I yelled back at him I was getting sick of him being so stubborn.

"Stop!" We heard Jackson scream, I looked over Edward's shoulder to see him standing there with tears streaming down his face.

"Hey buddy, what's wrong?" Edward said as he knelt down to bring Jackson into his arms.

"You were yelling, I don't like it when you yell." Jackson cried into his father's shoulder.

"I'm sorry little man we didn't mean to yell we just got a little bit angry, it's nothing you have to worry about." Edward soothed as he ran his hand over Jackson's hair.

"But you were saying my name." Jackson said as he looked up to Edward.

"It's nothing important. Everything's alright now." Edward said trying to force a smile on his face for Jackson's benefit.

"Ok" Jackson said pulling away from his father.

"How about you go back and play with your toys while I say goodbye to Bella." Edward asked.

"Bye Bella." Jackson said as he walked towards his room again, I gave a little wave.

"Bella?" Jackson question as he got his room.

"Yes." I replied.

"Are you really my mummy?" He asked so innocently. My mouth popped open at his question I didn't realise we had been yelling that loudly that he heard me say I was his mother. I nodded my head slowly not wanting to deny what he had heard. When I nodded my head Jackson ran towards me with his arms outstretched I quickly bent down and gather him in my arms before standing up again and crying into his hair, I felt Jackson's tears on my shoulder.

"I'm so sorry baby, I love you so much." I just kept repeating to me. I risked a look at Edward to see that he looked torn like he wanted to see this moment but he didn't at the same time.

"I missed you so much mummy." Jackson cried into my shoulder and my heart broke having to hear the pain in my son's voice.

"I missed you to." I told him while placing a kiss on his head.

"Pwomise you won't go again." He said as he looked up to my face.

"I promise I'll never leave you ever again." I said to him as I placed my hand on his cheek.

"Bella please don't promise him something you can't keep." Edward sighed out.

"I'm not, I'm not going anywhere, I'm here to stay Edward please just give me the chance to show him and you that." I pleaded.

"Fine but everything is on my terms. I'll bring him over to Sue and Charlie's Saturday but I'm staying." He bargained.

"That's fine I'll accept that. Thank you so much for giving me the chance." I smiled at him, he slightly smiled back before turning to Jackson.

"Come on little man we have to go and see Granny and Grandpa." Edward said while holding his hands out to take Jackson.

"Can mummy come pwease?" Jackson begged.

"Munchin I don't think that's a good idea." I tried to tell him.

"No if you don't go I don't go." He said crossing his little arms over his chest.

"Jackson come on Granny has wanted to see you all week." Edward tried to talk him into going.

"No." He screamed.

"Young man don't you yell at me." Edward told him sternly.

"But I wants mummy to come with me. I not going." Jackson told him stubbornly showing how much he was like both of us.

"Damn it. Fine Bella would you come with us." Edward said while pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Jackson sweetie it's really not a good idea for me to go with you." I reasoned.

"No you can't leave me again." Jackson cried. I took a moment to look at the pain written across my little boys face before answering.

"Ok I'll come." I sighed not really looking forward to being in a room full of people I hurt and who are sure to be angry with me.

Edward grabbed their coats before walking to the door indicating to me that we needed to leave.

"We'll take my car." He said as I walked past him with Jackson in my arms. I nodded my head showing him that that was fine. I went to the back door opening it so I could put Jackson in his car seat. I struggled with his seatbelt while he giggled at me.

"Mummy doing it wrong." He laughed. Edward opened the other door climbing in so that he could do it up for me. He had a slight smirk on his face; I longed to see his full smirk.

"There we go now let's get on our way." He said while moving to get into the front seat. I got out getting in the front seat next to Edward.

"Be prepared." Was all Edward said before starting the car and driving towards his parent's house. I knew that if I could deal with Edward's anger I could deal with his families. All that was important was that my son knew who I was and that Edward was giving me the chance to spend some time getting to know him.
