Hi Guys, here's the much anticipated meeting between Bella and the Cullens. Also if anyone has an artistic talent and would like to make me a new picture I would love them FOREVER.

I wanted one night where I could be carefree with Jacob before having to talk to the Cullens, and that's what I got. The next morning I woke up curled into Jacob's side with several blankets sprawled around me.

"Good-morning beautiful!" Jacob had one eye open and was grinning at me lazily. In one smooth movement Jacob had sat up and pulled me on top of him, supporting my weight with his arms. I yawned, stretching my arms out so they were resting around his neck.

"Hi." We sat like that for a while until hunger was starting to get the best of me. I crawled away from Jake, searching through the glove box until I found what I was looking for.

"Do you want a pop-tart?" Jacob just rolled his eyes at me.

"If Michael Newton could see you right now I think he would hang himself with his bowtie."

"Fine, you don't get any."

The carefree attitude between the two of us lasted through the whole day as we infected my father and Eli with our happiness. I knew the atmosphere would change as soon as I told Jake when I was meeting up with the Cullens but I couldn't bring myself to tell him. Part of me was afraid he would threaten to leave, keeping me trapped at the cabin.

I decided to wait until my father had left and Eli was tucked into bed to tell Jacob where I was going the next day. I sat down next to him on the couch, catching his attention immediately.

"What's up Bells?"

"It's tomorrow Jacob; I'm going to meet them tomorrow." He stared at me for a moment then sighed.

"I just don't want you to go through that shit alone Bella. Don't you remember how they treated you?" I nodded the memories too clear in my head for my liking. Jacob noticed the shift in my mood and wrapped a supportive arm around me.

"You do what you need to Bella; I'll support you no matter what." I closed my eyes and leaned into Jacob's side, trying to fight away the memories that were racing into my mind.

Three years ago

"Bella, we're done I told you that so why did you call me? You know I don't have time for you, I'm successful now." His cold emerald eyes burned through me and I was ready to tell him just to leave, but at the same time I couldn't. He deserved to know, even if he had left me broken. I stood up from the couch I was sitting on and let the blanket covering my bump fall to the ground, waiting to see his reaction. His face went white as his jaw dropped and he stood frozen for a while, finally he seemed to regain his senses.

"Fuck no! What is this shit? Are you trying to punk me?" His face twisted into rage.

"No Edward…" I tried to keep a calm voice "… I'm pregnant, I found out the day before you… well you know." He shook his head, his beautiful bronze hair blurring from the motion.

"Is this some sick way of trying to keep me? There's no way in hell that child is mine, you must've slept around." The moment he said that it felt like a million knives were stabbing me, I just couldn't believe it. Did Edward really hate me so much that he couldn't stomach the fact that the child growing inside of me was part of him too?

"Edward I'm not trying to get you back, I just thought you deserved to know." The next thing I remember after that was realizing Edward's hand was around my neck; all I could do was watch as his face distorted his rage.

"That child isn't mine you fucking liar! What are you trying to fucking ruin me? Ruin my fame? Is this some sort of sick revenge?" All I could think of was the baby, if Edward didn't let go soon he could kill the only thing I had left. He let go as I started to see spots, pushing into a wall as he released me.

"Leave." I gasped out the words, placing a hand on my stomach to search for movement. Edward hadn't heard me, he was still furious pacing around my apartment with one hand tugging at his hair. I kept one eye on him as I pulled my cell phone out of my pocket and hit speed dial.

"Help." I whispered into the phone, hanging up before Edward realized what I was doing. I put my phone back in my pocket before he looked at me again, rage still clouding his eyes.

"Awe is Bella hurt?"

"Please Edward, just leave." He shook his head.

"Not until you promise to keep your mouth closed, I swear to God Bella if I so much as get a weird look from the police I'll be back." He had pulled me up off of the ground with a firm grip on my hair causing me to scream out in pain.

"I promise Edward, I'm not going to talk to the police." He tightened his grip on my hair and brought his face closer, his eyes glaring directly into mine.

"What about the thing growing in you? You better handle it or I will. If you don't get an abortion Bella, what I do to you will be ten times worse then most terrible thing you can think of."

"And if you don't get your hands off of Bella I'll fuck you up so bad they won't be able to peel you off of the cement Cullen." Edward let go of me startled and turned around to come face to face with Jacob.

"You bitch!" He spat at me before pulling my body in front of him.
"I'll make you a trade Black, you let me leave here freely and I'll hand you this whore without any more bruises." I could tell Jake didn't want to deal with the devil but I sent him a pleading glance, cupping my stomach to remind him of my cargo.

After Edward had left, Jacob pleaded with me to go to the police but I said no. I knew Edward would stay true to his word, his reputation was too important to him. A week passed with me staying in Jacob's apartment before Edward's family called me. He had poisoned them against me, the same people that had treated me as their own. His mother had spoke to me in a heartless tone, berating me before telling me she never wanted to see my face again. She called me a cheating whore but I couldn't defend myself, I just stayed quiet. I didn't want to let something slip by accident and have her tell Edward the baby was still alive, God only knows what would've happened then. When she finally hung up I cried before promising my future child I would keep him protected from the world, no matter what I had to do.

The next morning I woke up Eli before I left and told him that I had to run an errand and Jacob would be with him.

"Mama, I miss you." He cooed, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"I'll miss you too Superman, be good for Jake okay?" He nodded.

"Mama if I good, you bring candy?" I laughed at his attempt to cut a deal with me.

"Yes Eli, you behave and I'll bring you a treat." I kissed the top of his head before exiting the bedroom coming face-to-face with my other toddler.

"Jacob, it'll be fine. This is something I need to do; otherwise they might go to the media." He sighed, nuzzling his face into my hair.

"But what if they try to ambush you Bella?" He mumbled sending vibrations down my body.

"That's something I've already thought of Jacob, that's why I'm sending a car to pick up the Cullens with firm instructions to watch for cars following it." He accepted my answer, lifting his face from my hair so he could kiss my lips.

"Good-bye Bella, call me if you need anything." I nodded before leaving the cabin; I had a couple hours of driving ahead until I reached Seattle, where the heads of the Cullen family currently live.

Honestly I don't want to talk to them, I'm terrified about what could happen but I couldn't tell Jacob that. He would've never allowed me to leave for the meeting alone if he knew how I really felt about it.

By the time the Cullen family had found out about Eli, I was nearing my third trimester, I had timed it that way so they couldn't try and force an abortion on me. Still, after Edward had found out he had sent me a check along with the name of a doctor who would take care of what he called "my mistake".

I had even been able to keep Eli completely unknown to the media until the interior designer told the press about the genius playroom he had created. That was actually when I came up with my escape plan, Angela had helped me to realize as much as I tried to keep him hidden there was always the risk that Eli's picture would be taken.

In preparation for meeting the Cullen's I had Angela rent out four upscale suites in hotels under her name just in case someone unwanted had decided to try and stop by. When I arrived at the hotel I had chosen to meet at, I paid the manager for secrecy and took the private elevator up to the highest floor.

At exactly eleven A.M there was a knock on the door, Dr. Carlisle Cullen could be described as a lot but he could not be described as tardy. I took a minute to compose myself before turning the handle.

"Hello Bella, it's been a while." Esme Cullen has a paler version on his piercing green eyes and tame brown hair, while Carlisle is the polar opposite with wispy pale blond hair and calculating blue eyes. I let Esme wrap me in an awkward hug before gesturing to the suite's small living room.

"Please, have a seat." I'm not sure what kind of small talk I'm supposed to have with the parents of ex-boyfriends so I just skip past that awkward topic to the next.

"I believe you know why you're here." Esme nodded, a surprisingly nervous look on her face.

"The photo." She could barely speak so she turned to Carlisle for support.

"He looks exactly like Edward."

"I know." The two shared a look before turning back to me.

"My wife and I are rather confused Bella, Edward had told us that the child wasn't his. He claimed that was his reason for breaking up with you." I couldn't help but roll my eyes, were Carlisle and Esme really that naïve?

"Of course that's what he told you; the true story of our break-up makes him look like a monster." The two sat in silence for a moment before a gasp filled the air, Esme looked absolutely horrified.

"Oh my God the phone call, Bella I'm so sorry." I shook my head as a way to keep my emotions at bay.

"I'm not here for an apology Esme; I'm here to make sure my son is protected. I need to make sure your family; especially Edward does not talk about Eli to the media. Edward was irate when he first found out about Eli and I'm sure he wasn't thrilled when he found out I hadn't had that abortion he'd asked for." It was Carlisle's turn to look upset.

"Surely you're exaggerating."

"Why do you think I didn't tell you the truth right away? I didn't want Edward to kill my baby." A pained sound erupted from Esme while Carlisle's face went white. I let them gather themselves not knowing what else to say to the two of them.

"Would you think about seeing the rest of the family while you're in Washington? I'm sure Alice and Emmett will be elated to hear they have a nephew." Carlisle eventually spoke.

"I don't know if I'm ready to introduce Eli to all these new people, especially people I haven't seen in a while."

"Of course Bella, you just want what's best for your son." I winced internally at the sight of Esme's disappointed face before making a split second decision.

"I would be up for considering you and Carlisle coming to California for Eli's birthday in three months. It would be nice to have the two of you in his life." Her eyes lit up with excitement and before I was even finished my sentence she had come over to hug me.

"Oh God Bella, we aren't deserving of this with all that we put you through."

"Esme staying mad destroys people and I for one want to lead a good example for my son." I talked with her and Carlisle for a while more, getting assurance that the Doctor would handle his son before it was time for the two of us to part ways. I hugged Esme more comfortably this time and even Carlisle gave me a quick embrace.

"I'll be in touch." I reassured them before shutting the door and collapsing onto the little couch. I gave myself time to catch my breath before dialing Jacob's number.

"So that didn't go how I expected."
