Hey guys. Ok College is out for the summer so I'm back. I just want to make one thing clear; No I have never had cancer personally but one of my parents did and yes it was Terminal so this isn't something i know nothing about.

Chapter Six: Will and Legacy

Edward sat on the couch in the solicitor's office reception alone. He'd not told anyone that he was coming here today, not even Bella. As far as they knew he was half way to Seattle by now with half of Bella's London stuff, in fact he was already there. Luckily his little bachelor was big enough for him and she to have a bed room each and room to breathe. Even if the pair were best friends; they needed their space and Bella assumed Edward would indefinitely with all the medical and chemo treatment that'd go in and out of his apartment over the next two years.

Edward had already decided and explained to everyone that he would die at home, whether that be Forks or Seattle, not in some lumpy and boring Hospital bed; he expected home comforts till the end. With his father being a prestigious doctor he knew home treatment would be on the menu from the start. Carlisle had offered to take leave when serious times that lay ahead rose up and the hospital, eager to keep him, agreed right off the bat.

He shook his head slightly You don't want to think about that shit right now Edward. A week at a time remember. His thoughts were right. He just needed to get this over with then he could muse over his imminent death on the way to Seattle where Emmet would be waiting to help him move all the stuff around so Bella could move her little things in and organise them her way.

Emmett He chuckled to himself earning a weird look from the receptionist who, until now, had been thinking about almost 17 different ways to get him into her bed in the apartment building opposite... He simply smiled at her to make him seem a bit less insane.

The previous Sunday had been manic. All those hours he'd spent panicking over Emmett's reactions, then telling Emmett and ending up fighting with Jasper, then the strip club...the strip club he couldn't complain about really. He patted his coat pocket finding the piece of paper with the name 'Candy' on and a number. Although the fact he'd spent $50 dollars alone in that place, not including his diet sodas, wasn't really a good thing. Both had been in fits of laughter once he'd paid for Jasper to have a lap dance.
'He looks like his having a stroke while constipated!' Emmett had laughed when one of the other girls had practically jumped in Jasper's lap. Emmett had laugh so hard in fact he fell drunkenly out of the chair and Jasper soon scuttled off in a foul mood towards the bathroom to rid himself of the numerous lipstick marks littering his face and hair.

The fight however had been the down side. The man all bets were on had lost and it had been three hours of complete boredom and listening to crazy old men rowing. Plus Jasper had found the scores out on his phone since it wasn't a live fight to wind both men up in pay back for the lap dance. At least I got my column done. I've been out of that sports section for a while now but I'm still receiving mail to ask where I've gone. That made him happy; he had fans of his writing still.

'Edward Cullen?' A man's voice bringing Edward back to earth.
Huh. I seem to be drifting off into space a lot lately Edward mused getting up and walking over to the middle aged balding man in a cheap rip off of an Armani suit. 'That's me.' He answered before following the man into the small office. Small yes but it had a beautiful view of Seattle Bay from three floors up even if it did only house his desk, three chairs and some shelves...

'I'm J Jenks.' The man smiled as both sat opposite each other. Edward took his outstretched hand and shook it firmly 'So you're here to make your Will yes?' Edward nodded watching the man click away at his computer.
'I would like you to keep a copy if possible.' He said 'I don't want my family coming across it.'

Jenks frowned at that; he'd never heard that from someone young before; old ladies and men who believed their children were about to kill them, and some did, yes in the 100s but never someone so young. Had he of been a compassionate man he would of told Edward that his family should know but since he only did this because it paid well...
'Ok Mr Cullen but you should know that after three years I will have to return the second copy unless you plan to pay for a longer time period.'
'That won't be necessary.' Edward said with a sad twinge to his voice. J Jenks raised an eyebrow at him as he typed Edward's details into the computer 'I have Terminal Cancer,' he started 'They've given me two years...'
'Oh.' Jenks said sadly as his face instantly turned to its sympathy mask 'I am sorry to hear that but that I can understand so I shall keep the second copy here. Anyway let's go through your things shall we?'

His bachelor pad that still had a worn sign of 'No Girls Allowed' on the door was left to Bella because he couldn't leave her homeless after everything she'd done for him. Plus if she moved back to Charlie's she'd get a nifty $100,000 for the place.

Rosalie he gave his beloved car because although she'd never admit it due to their rifts she thought it was amazing and always wanted to test drive it. He imagined her with the top down blonde hair flying in the wind and smiled; she'd look perfect.

Jasper would get $5000 to get things for the band so they could become official and get a CD out there. He felt the need to pay for the stuff due to his parents disagreeing Jasper had a real job.

Emmett would get all his sports memorabilia and $1000 from his savings which he suspected would go on a party in his name...most probably at that stupid strip club. He held in another make-me-look-crazy laugh even if laughter was the only thing keeping him sane at this moment...

His parents would get anything they wanted of his things and distribute the rest to whoever they though should be allowed his possessions. Edward ensured his friends from work would get some of those. He also planned to book them a romantic cruise with any time tickets on the year of his death; these would be given by his solicitor.

The last $3000 he had in his savings account would be divided up and given to all different charities such as Cancer Research and ones for the homeless; these two being the most important to him. However a third of this would go to Tanya but he didn't want anyone else to know. Yes she had left him because of his illness but she would receive it anonymously.

'Anyone else?' J Jenks asked as he typed everything up 'Nieces or nephews perhaps?'
Rosalie's daughter she should get something from me even though she'll never meet me... His mind reminded him.
'Yes actually.' Edward said 'I have a niece who was put up for adoption five years ago. My parents still keep in contact with her new family. I have £500 under my floorboard I've been saving for her ever pay day so if I place the money in an account only you and I know about will you be able to send it to her?'
'As far as I know there shouldn't be a problem with that as long as you can open the account, place the money in and give me the details by next Monday or it goes into over time.'
Edward nodded 'I should have it all sorted by Wednesday.'

Jenks typed that up quickly before coming to another stop 'Ah I meant to ask. Do you have any children that need to be placed in someone's guardianship?'
'No.' Edward said quietly as a pang hit his chest. He'd always wanted children and he planned to propose to Tanya in the summer and hoped to be a father by this time next year.
Another part of life I'll never experience. His mind sighed thinking of the possibilities Destiny is such a bitch...

'Ok then Mr Cullen if you just sign here, that's us done for today.' Jenks smiled passing him the pen and temporary copy of the Will after he'd printed it off. Edward stared for a second before taking it shakily; this was it the final resting places of his monies and worldly possessions. Clicking the pen to allow him to write he signed it; signed them all away...

The car ride back to his flat was silent so much that you could hear a pin drop or even the thoughts in Edward's head. He watched the world go by outside as he drove down his block but his mind was far away. In his mind's eye he saw a little boy with his hair blowing in the wind as he played in his grandparent's back yard. Soon switched to a little girl with his eyes playing dress up in a dress four times her size same as the shoes. I want a child. He said to himself Even if only for a few months...
