A/N: Good morning, good evening, and goodnight to some of you. I woke up to full inbox. Do you guys know what that does to me? It makes me happy. Happy enough to load you guys with at least 20 chapters today, maybe a bit more...*hint, hint* Let's continue with the drama.

*Cooks pancakes for the readers*

Special Note: I'm all up for criticism in the reviews, I just ask that if you don't like it or disagree with something, I or any of the other authors write, that you be respectful about it. We do this for free and take time out of our RL and families in order to write such stories. We do this out of love.

Chapter 18

BPOV

I've never seen him like this.

Hunched shoulders, ragged clothes on, red-rimmed eyes...

Defeated.

Ed Cullen should never look like this.

I do the only thing I can think of doing.

I hug him... hard.

I pull his body back while still locked in embrace, until the back of my knees hits the bed.

I turn us around and make sure he is seated.

On my knees, in between his knees, I look into his eyes and try to decipher what it is that could have happened to make him look like death has ran him over.

I think of all the possible scenarios...

He lost his job... I doubt it, he's a valuable asset to that company.

No one can draw buildings the way he can

He caught Tranny cheating on him... I doubt that too, considering the bitch is addicted to his dick.

Not only that, but their relationship was rocky at best, which is why I never supported it to begin with.

I tried to stop him, I did. But would he listen to me.

No.

"We've been together for so long, Bella. I owe it to her for sticking with me."

Cue the eye roll.

Did I mention she's addicted to him already?

Besides, she's pregnant.

And that leads me to that possibility, that maybe something happened to the... the... fetus.

Fetus, that's what it is, not yet a baby, but also not just a thing.

"Ed, did something happen to the..." I pause and take a deep breath. Somehow saying the word baby is so difficult for me to say.

I don't know why. It just is.

I try again. "Is something wrong with Tanya's pregnancy? Is she okay? What happened?"

He shakes his head, his eyes glassy, looking at nothing in particular.

"She l-lost the baby. She..."

His voice is lost in a shuddering sob.

I'm at a loss, not for the baby, but for my best friend.

How the hell do you comfort someone over something like this?

Sure he's the man, but that doesn't mean he didn't want the baby

And the pregnancy happened pretty much before they got married.

... as unplanned as it was … or was it?

After being together with Tranny for a couple of years, it was bound to happen, unless the bitch got pregnant on purpose to keep him around.

For him to marry and start a family is a huge thing.

Expected.

I just never guessed that this would happen to him.

A/N: Reviews are the same as a crying Ed for you to comfort ... Oh you just better leave me some luv.
