Unfortunately.

Bella POV

I couldn't open my eyes.

I had cried so much I lost the strength to open up my heavy eye lids. I slowly opened my brown red blotched eyes and saw it was an ugly rainy day outside.

Perfect.

I didn't know why I let that nasty woman's words get to me. I knew better, I know that I did what I had to do for my daughter and myself. And I knew I wasn't planning on hurting Edward now or ever again. Over the past few months I could see that he grew up. He wasn't the same immature boy I used to know. I hoped if no one else saw a change in me that at least he did. I needed him to see that I had changed for the better.

I could smell him all around me. His scent was in my room, it surrounded my senses. I sucked in a big breathe through my nose and stared at the ceiling. I needed him and my Monk right now. I felt so alone. I was angry. I wished I could call up that Rosalie bitch and speak my mind to her again. Why is it always after you think of the fight you always come up with better come backs. Damn.

I rolled over and faced the clock. It was 1pm. I snuck a quick peak at the picture on my side table it was one my mother took of Ella and Me napping at the beach under an umbrella from about a year ago. My tears began to flow freely again. I knew I had chosen my only option. Who knows where Edward and I would be right now if I hadn't left. Yes, maybe we would've worked things out and been perfect. Or maybe things would've ended ten times worst and I wouldn't be able to look at Edward or vise versa. I couldn't let that woman's words keep getting to me. That would mean she won. After today no more tears, I thought to myself as laid back on the bed staring at the fan.

"You're up, good."

I quickly looked towards the entrance of my room and saw Edward standing there with a cup of coffee. I offered a small smile to him and raised my arms too him. He quickly walked across the room and perched on the side of my bed as he enveloped me in a hug.

"What are you doing here?" I cried in his shoulder. I was so happy to see him here but so confused at the same time.

"You wouldn't answer your phone all night, I got worried. So I came over and waited for you to get up."

"Where's Edella? How long have you been here?"

"She's with my parents they took her to Port Angeles to go shopping. I've been here since 5am." he smiled sheepishly.

"Oh that's nice of them. Edward you must be exhausted." I sighed in his ear.

"No I napped here with you a bit. You were restless in your sleep so I came to lay down with you." he said as he rubbed the back of my head.

"Thank you, I woke up and smelled you all over. That explains it." I chuckled as I dried my eyes.

"Oh, do I smell bad?" he laughed as he tried to make light of the situation.

"No, I love the way you smell." I blushed.

"Honey, what happened?" he asked concerned as he pulled me back and looked in my eyes.

"She didn't say anything?" I asked surprised as my eyes teared up again.

"Of course she said something, but I believe you before I believe her."

"She hates me Edward. She basically told me I was stupid for leaving you and I deserved every hard ship I got because of my choices. She told me I was a bitch and am conniving and I take Edella away from everyone when I don't get my way. Just a whole bunch of shit Edward. She said if she was me she wouldn't have fucked everything up as badly as I did." I cried.

"Hey, Hey. Look at me." he said as he raised my chin. "The only opinions that matter are yours, mine, and Edella's. I know what you did and why you did it and if we had to go back I'd hope you'd make the same choices you did."

"How can you say that Edward, look how messed up everything is."

"Everything isn't messed up. Look where we are. I'm sitting in your room with you wrapped in my arms. Everything is perfect. Bella if I hadn't lost you I wouldn't have hit rock bottom is the way I see it. I wouldn't have grown the hell up. We would have stayed comfortable slipping and slipping from each other. You did the adult thing. You needed out of the unstable relationship and you helped us all grow. So how can you regret the decision you made when I believe it was the right one."

"Edward you can't possibly believe that." I cried.

"I do 100 percent. Bella look at me. No one else could possibly know every detail that has gone on between us. Only us, and if we sat down and compared our stories I'm sure they would be slightly different also. So why do you listen to someone who hasn't been around. She doesn't know you. I know you. I don't want to see you cry angel. You're too beautiful to shed one unworthy tear. Do you hear me?" Edward asked.

I nodded my head as he held me tighter in his arms and laid down on my bed with me.

"I love you so much. Do you know that?" he whispered into my ear. I laid my head against his chest and listened to his heart beat. It matched my own.

"Yes, I think I always have."

"Good, don't you ever forget it, you hear me. Let them all say what they want. You know my heart, you are my heart. You and my daughter. There's never been anyone else Bella. It's always been you two." he said as he kissed my head.

"I love you Edward." I cried. "Where do we go from here. God, how did we get back here." I laughed as I wiped my tears.

"Destiny." he answered simply.

I looked up at him and saw all the love in his eyes. He really was still my Edward, just older and smarter, but the loving, caring man that I fell in love with was still there. I leaned up and kissed him on the mouth.

"Is that ok?" I blushed. I really didn't know where we stood at this moment. This was uncharted territory to me still.

"Better than ok." he said as he leaned down and kissed my lips more forcefully. He licked my bottom lip and I granted him access. This kiss was so soft and sweet and full of love. Our mouths fit perfectly together. I pulled his bottom lip into my mouth and applied soft kisses to his lips and finally pulled away.

"Can I take you on a date?" he smiled

"Aren't we a little passed that?" I giggled.

"Nope, we're starting over."

"Starting over with a child?" I smirked.

"Hey, work with me here Cullen." he laughed.

"I can't be Cullen if we're starting over."

"Ok, work with me Swan." he chuckled as he pecked my lips. "Are you better now, honey? No more listening to blonde bimbos?"

"Don't call her that. I dislike her but I feel bad. She can't have babies Edward." I whispered.

"I know Emmett told me. Yea, I feel bad but that still doesn't give her a right to take her anger out on you. I mean I want to like her, that's going to be my sister in-law but still you don't take your anger out on people who have what you want. That's jealousy and that won't get her very far in life. I mean she's great with Edella but if you can't respect my daughter's mother than you won't be around my daughter." Edward said.

"I don't know, everybody acts out on there anger." I said thinking back to my way of dealing with my anger with Edward. "Second chances right?" I smiled at Edward.

"Only when people deserve them." he smirked as he kissed my head. "And not a moment sooner."

"Ok so when's our date?" I asked changing the subject.

"Hm, Friday night? I'm sure my mother or Renee could watch Edella."

"Ok, but I don't want Edella to know we are seeing each other. You know, just incase." I said slowly.

Edward nodded his head. "I completely agree." he smiled.

"Is Emmett angry at me?" I asked cautiously.

"NO! The complete opposite. Rose admitted she said things she shouldn't have. She didn't go into detail but she said she MAY have over stepped her boundaries.
When she said that I knew she upset you by the way you left. So I called and called but you never answered so I just headed over after the fights died down and Edella was tucked in bed and everything. Emmett was angry with her though and they had a blowout. I think everything should be fine now. You know he loves you though." Edward smiled.

"This is why dinner's should stay strictly invite only." I laughed. "I don't want Emmett to be fighting with her over me. Yeah, she's a bitch, but don't think I stayed quiet and let her talk shit to me either." I smirked.

"Oh no, she was impressed. She said no person had ever gone toe to toe with her before." he chuckled.

I raised my eyebrow. That woman was mental.

Edward stayed until 5pm and then headed home to my monk. He kissed me goodbye and told me he'd bring Ella home if I didn't feel comfortable picking her up. I told him I had no reason to be ashamed and I would be there at 1 to pick her up.

I didn't know how he did it, but he managed to make me feel so much better. I didn't feel guilty as I did before and if I was being completely honest, I felt bad for Rosalie instead of having hatred for her. She used me to channel her anger all this time. I had what she wanted, a baby. That still didn't excuse her actions though.

I met my friend Angela and her fiancée Ben up for a quick dinner at the diner and then headed back to my house. I cuddled up in bed watching 'Casablanca' and must've nodded off halfway through. I awoke to my cell phone vibrating on my side table. I grabbed my phone and smiled.

-Bella

Edella and I Miss you,

can't wait to see you tomorrow.

- Love, Eddo

-Edward,

The Feeling is mutual! =)

Kiss my monk for me!

Xoxo

-Love, Bells

I fell asleep with a smile playing on my lips. We were finally making great progress. I was dating my ex husband.

Weird.

I slept in until 10am. I showered and straightened up the house. I then readied myself for the day. I threw on a blue cowl-neck sweater and a pair of straight leg jeans along with a pair of black flats. I put my hair back in a clip and let my bangs fall freely and dabbled some blush, eyeliner, mascara, and lip gloss on and headed out the door.

I arrived at the Cullen's at 10 till 1. I made my way towards the door till I heard someone call my name behind me. I turned quickly to see the devil herself.

"Rosalie." I said emotionless.

"Can we please talk just a minute?"

I mentally argued with myself. Should I even offer any of my time to this woman again so she can throw accusations my way again.

"What Rosalie?" I asked annoyed.

"I need to apologize Bella, I had no right to speak to you the way I did the other night. I was completely out of line. As horrible as it sounds I just don't understand why someone who has been given so many chances continues to prosper. I may sound like a total bitch but I'm just being honest. You're right though I don't know you and I shouldn't have poked my nose into your business. I've just been under a lot of stress lately but that doesn't excuse my actions. I know it may be too much to ask and you may not even really give a shit, but do you think we could start over?" she asked shyly.

Where was the evil bitch from the other night?

"Rosalie, despite what you may have heard I'm not a spiteful bitch. I'll give you a chance but that's all I can offer. I'm not saying we'll be best friends but I can be cordial with you as long as you don't over step your welcoming again."

"To be honest, I was surprised you actually talked back to me. I've never had someone attempt to put me in my place before. I was shocked and intrigued." she smiled sheepishly.

"Yea well, I don't let people talk shit about me and my family and let them get away with it." I smirked. She nodded her head and followed me into the house.

I knew Rosalie and I would probably never have a friendship but as long as the bitch wasn't sending me dirty glances and talking crap every time I entered a room was fine by me.

Emmett and Edward's eyes almost popped out of their head right where they sat on the sofa when they saw Rosalie and I enter the living room. Ella didn't think anything of it as she hopped over their legs.

"Mommy!' she yelled as she wrapped herself around my legs.

"Hey Toots!" I said as I bent down and kissed her. "I heard you went shopping, buy cute stuff?" I asked my cute girl.

"Yesh, Auntie Ali bought me da cootest tuff." she squealed.

"Oh my, the cutest stuff huh? You'll have to show me when we get home." I smiled.

Edward got up from the sofa and offered me a hug.

"You have no idea how much I missed you." he mumbled into my ear.

"Oh I think I know." I smiled and winked at him.

"Ok say goodbye Monk." I called.

"Bye Uncle Emy, Bye Auntie Wose." Ella called as Edward walked us to our car.

"You and Rose?" he questioned as he buckled Ella into her seat.

"Yea, she apologized, we agreed to be civil." I smiled.

"Well that's good." he said as he walked me behind the jeep and gave me a passionate kiss.

"God, I've been waiting to do that all day." he flashed me his crooked smile.

"Hmmm, well worth the wait." I blushed.

Ella brought us out of our flirting by a knock on the window.

"Mommy les' go." she called.

"Guess that's your cue." Edward chuckled as he kissed my cheek.

"Guess so, so I'll see you Friday?" I blushed.

"Yes ma'am. Renee going to watch her?" Edward asked.

"Yes, she thinks I have a late court meeting." I smiled as I got into the drivers seat.

"Perfect. Ok my girls. I will see you soon. Love you." Edward smiled to Ella.

"Wuv you daddy, bye bye!" Ella waved from her seat as we backed out of the drive way.

I could not wait till Friday and neither could my lips.

The week went way too slow for my liking, but we finally made it to Friday. I dropped my baby off at my mothers house after work and promised I'd pick her up in the morning to take her to the park.

I rushed home and showered and shaved. I threw some gel and mousse in my hair and blow dried it into small curls. I applied a little bit of make-up and tossed on a pair of black leggings a loose cream colored long tank-top with a studded low neck line and a pair of black sandals with silver studs.

I waited down stairs at 6pm for Edward. He showed up at 6:15 in a pair of dark jeans a white polo and a pair of sneakers. He looked so handsome. I met him at the door and he enveloped me in a hug and gave me a quick kiss.

"Ready honey?"

"Yes, where are you taking me?" I smiled widely.

"It's a surprise." he chuckled.

"Well you were late, so it better be worth it." I joked.

"It was I was getting dinner."

"Getting? I thought we were going to dinner?"

"No I said we were going to eat dinner. I didn't say anywhere particular." he laughed as I locked up my house. Edward opened the door for me to the Volvo. We started down a back road and after about 10 minutes I knew where we were headed.

"Oh my gosh." I whispered as Edward linked his fingers with mine and held them on top of his leg.

"Surprise." he said as he pulled up to an old park he and I used to go to.

"Edward!" I squealed as he pulled a picnic basket and a bottle of wine out of his trunk.

"Ready for a hike?" he chuckled as I grabbed the wine from him and held his hand.

"With you, I'm ready for anything." I winked.

We made the half mile trek though the wood of the park until we found our destination. My heart stopped as my eyes teared up. It wasn't only because I was standing in the meadow that Edward and I discovered on our first date, or where we would spend our every Saturday together. He also had lit it with candles around a section of the meadow and laid a blanket down for us and had music playing from his little Ihome perched by the tree.

"Oh my Gosh Edward. It's our meadow." I smiled as I hugged him tightly.

"Yes, it is. And I bought our favorite meal from our favorite place."

"Bella Italia?" I asked surprised.

"The one and only." he said as he pulled two Styrofoam boxes out from the picnic basket and uncorked the wine. We ate our chicken fettuccine and sipped our Zinfandel as we leaned back against our tree that we carved our initials in 6 years ago.

"Thank you." I said as I looked at him with all the love I could muster. "I love you."

"You are more than welcome Beautiful. I love you too. So much." he said as he kissed my forehead. We finished eating and watched the sunset as we drank our wine and listened to some low acoustic music.

This was perfect, he knew me better than I knew myself. This was us, our beginning was here so where else to start over then at where we began 6 years ago. I traced my finger over the EAC + IMS = 4Ever that was imbedded in the huge oak tree. Edward smiled at me as he pulled his key from his pocket. I scrunched my nose at him as he messed with the tree.

"There" he said accomplished as I looked back at the tree. He had added a few letters. Now it read: ERC + EAC + IMSC = 4 Ever n Ever. I grabbed his face and pecked his lips.

"Forever and ever." I mumbled against his lips. I knew we would be forever I couldn't loose him again. I wouldn't. As if it was planned Ben Harper - Forever came onto his IPOD.

"Forever. Will you dance with me?" he asked as he kissed me neck. I nodded my head as he pulled me up through my hands. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he wrapped his around my waist. We still fit together perfectly. We swayed to the music as I mentally stitched each word into my brain. This was the exact moment I knew with all that I had in me that Edward and I would make it. As long as we didn't loose ourselves again. We would make it. Forever.

Not talkin' 'bout a year
No not three or four
I don't want that kind of forever
In my life anymore
Forever always seems
to be around when it begins
but forever never seems
to be around when it ends

So give me your forever
Please Your forever
Not a day less will do
From you

People spend so much time
Every single day
Runnin' 'round all over town
Givin' their forever away
But no not me
I won't let my forever roam
and now I hope I can find
my forever a home

So give me your forever
Please your forever
Not a day less will do
From you

Like a handless clock with numbers
An infinite of time
No not the forever found
Only in the mind
Forever always seems
to be around when things begin
but forever never seems
to be around when things end

So give me your forever
Please your forever
Not a day less will do
From you

The song came to a close and Edward bent his head and passionately kissed me.

"I love you"

"And I you, take me home Edward."

He nodded his head and we blew out all the candles and picked up our mess. We playfully touched each other on our walk back to the car. A hand on the back, a smack to the butt, a playful rub of the hand, linking our fingers and pulling him with me as we walked. It was like we were teenagers again. Just older.

We made it back to the car and packed everything away. We drove the 20minute drive back to my house and Edward walked me to the door.

"I had a great time baby." he smiled as he bent down to kiss me. I pulled my head away from him before his lips touched me. I saw the pain written all over his face. "I'm sorry?" he questioned.

"You can kiss me goodbye." I smiled. "In the morning, if you'd like. Or you can get it now. It's up to you."

He leaned down and kissed my lips and I thought I had been turned down.

"Both" he chuckled as he pulled my keys from my hand an unlocked the door.

We made it into the house and he locked the door behind us. I grabbed him by his hands and led him up stairs to my bed room. I felt the butterflies in my stomach as I passed the hallway I took advantage of him in a month and a half ago. This was different, this felt like our first time all over again.

I slipped Edwards jacket off his arms as I enveloped his lips between mine.

"Make love to me." I whispered in his ear. He nodded his head as he leaned his head down and kissed my neck softly. He ran his hands up and down my arms slowly and sensually as he moved his lips from my neck down to my collar bone and over the swell of my breast. He traced his fingers across the bottom hem of my tank top and painfully slow, pulled it up over my body.

"Beautiful." he mumbled as he bent down and kissed across my now exposed stomach. I breathed out as a chill ran down my spine, he made me feel amazing. He placed small open mouth kisses up my stomach until he reached the underside of my bra. He ran his fingers over the lace and slid the straps down on each side. He reached behind me and unclasped the confinement that held my breast. He tossed it into a heap on the floor to join my tank top. He ran his tongue across my left erect peak and sensually sucked on the tip as he kneaded the right with his hand.

"Edward please." I mumbled as I leaned my head back and ran my fingers through his copper locks. He stood back up and picked me up and laid me down on the bed as he hovered above me. He linked his fingers into the top of my pants and slid them down my legs and then slipped off my sandals. He pushed my legs apart as he slid two fingers into the side of my panties and slid them slowly inside me.

"Baby, you're so wet." he mumbled as he kissed my lips and then sucked them inside his mouth. I felt his fingers begin to swirl inside my walls. His kiss was rough at first and then came to a slow steady pace as he slid his tongue inside my mouth and twirled it around with my own. He pecked my lips and then pulled back. I felt my stomach muscles begin to tighten but before I reached my release he pulled his fingers out. He crawled down to my stomach and hovered above my pussy.

"Baby, can I taste you. Please it's been so long." he said with a strained voice. I blushed and nodded my head as I almost came undone with the question he asked me and the hooded look with his eyes.

He licked my slit and slowly slid his tongue around my clit over and over again. He pushed my legs wide apart as he sucked my clit into his mouth and ever so gently nibbled on it. I felt my walls tighten up but then he plunged his tongue inside me and slid it in and out until I became undone and he licked up my juices.

He crawled back on top of me and kissed my lips and I could taste myself on him. I pushed him to the side and climbed on top of him as I undid the three buttons to his polo and lifted it over his head. I undid his belt and pants and slid them of his body and then pulled off his shoes. I stood up and pulled his pants the rest of the way off.

I got back up on the bed and leaned down on my knees. I gripped Edward's member with my hands and slowly ran my finger over the tip. He moaned so I continued the movement. I leaned my head down and took his dick into my mouth. I ran my tongue over the bottom of it and then the top. I pulled it out of my mouth and sucked it back in again. I bobbed my head up and down as I continued to suck on his dick.

"Baby, please." he moaned. I felt his muscles clench and moments later he released inside my mouth. I swallowed him down and then climbed back on top of him.

"Baby, we need a condom. Back pocket of my jeans." he breathed heavily.

I slowly climbed back down him and grabbed the silver packet out of his wallet. I got back into the bed and sheathed his cock for him. He rolled me over and got back on top of me.

"I love you, you know that." he chuckled as he kissed my lips sensually and ran his tongue over the outside of them.

"I love you too baby."

He painfully teased my with his dick as he let it slide against my wet slit.

"Edward please." I moaned.

He held his dick over my slit and slowly eased it in. He waited for me too feel comfortable and I wiggled my hips to make sure I was fine.

He slowly slid in and out of me.

"Ugh God I love you so much" he said into my ear as he nibbled on my lobe.

"I've missed this, us. I love you." I moaned into his neck.

He slowly picked up the pace but kept his motions long and sensual.

"You were always mine Bella, - mmm - Always."

"Always" I moaned into his ear.

"So tight baby. So perfect." he groaned as he rolled his hips.

"Oh yes, right there Edward." I moaned.

I felt my stomach muscles tighten as I felt the connection between us electrify.

"Ugh, Mm, Edward. I'm. God. I'm gonna cum." I mumbled.

"Ah, me too. Cum with me. Ugh please baby."

He pulled out and pushed in once more and we both came together. As one.

"Perfect." Edward mumbled into the crook of my neck as we caught our breathe and came down from our high.

Edward slowly pulled out of me and unsheathed himself. He tossed his confine into the trashcan next to my bed and grabbed me in his arms. He cuddled behind me as he laid his head into the side of my neck and peppered kisses on it.

"I Love you Isabella Marie." he whispered.

"I Love you two Edward Anthony." I smiled.

We slowly slipped into a blissful sleep.

This was my forever.
