Edward's POV
Seattle, Washington. Home of the famous Space Needle. It's also where I'm being dragged to with my father so we can get tux fittings for Bella's wedding. Why I'm being forced into a tux, I don't know but my father seems to think I need one. Brody is staying with my mother while my dad and I spend the weekend in Seattle. He's excited to spend the weekend with his Nana, making cookies and shit. I, however had to cancel a date with Heidi. The date that probably would have ended with my cock meeting her pussy. Instead, the date isn't happening and I'm being forced into a penguin suit.
"Edward, Cullen men always look nice at formal gatherings. Be it a wedding, a birthday, a party or a funeral. Anything that quite a few people are attending, Cullen men look nice. Get used to it. Soon, we'll get Brody his first tux but for now, we'll let him wear nice clothes that will be ok if they get dirty." My father claps me on the shoulder and inspects himself in the mirror.
"Dad, this is ridiculous. The wedding is Semiformal. Bella's dress only goes to her knees and Jasper is wearing khakis." I whine childishly. I think my son is starting to brainwash me. He seems to be getting older while I seem to be acting younger.
"Son, suck it up. We both know the real reason you're acting this way is because Bella is marrying Jasper and not you. You fucked up Edward. You cheated, you knocked your mistress up and you broke up with your girlfriend of ten years. You gained a child but Bella lost hers. She's not coming back to you Edward. She loves Jasper. They really are meant for each other." My dad exhales and adjusts his tie.
After purchasing the tuxes, my father and I head out for a late lunch at a small café. The waitress flirts but we pay her no attention. My eyes are drawn from the menu as I hear a familiar giggling. I look up and a few tables away, Heidi sits with a man. I slightly adjust my chair so I can see who she's with. As I see the man's face, I feel as though I'm being punched in the gut. It's him. James Felix Hunter. The man I'm 99% sure is my son's biological father. James' hand reaches across the table and grasps Heidi's. He brings it to his lips and kisses her knuckles. My teeth grind and I see red. I somehow manage to stay in my seat, despite the urge to jump up and confront her. My father follows my gaze and then quickly asks for the check. We head back to the hotel and as soon as we're in our suite, he corners me.
"I thought you and Heidi were together? Did you decide to have an open relationship? Do you know who that man is?" he questions. I run a hand over my face and fight the urge not to punch the wall.
"Apparently, Heidi doesn't feel like monogamy is what a relationship is about. I definitely didn't agree on an open relationship and….His name is James Hunter. He um…I think he's Brody's biological father. He knew Tanya and my son looks almost exactly like him."
"Are you telling me that you never had a paternity test to make sure that Brody is even yours?" my father gives me a sharp look and I feel myself flinching away from his gaze.
"I trusted Tanya. Plus, I fell in love with Brody the moment I met him. He is my son. Not James'." I look down at my feet and I feel like the whole world is against me. I've made many mistakes in the past. The one good thing I did was taking care of Brody. I don't care that he is genetically linked to James.
"He's not your son though Edward! If this James man finds out that you have Brody and that he's possibly his son, he could take you to court! What then? You are in no way related to Brody! You're just the man he's been living with for a year. You need to talk to Tanya and you need to find out what the hell is going on." my dad growls.
"Talk to Tanya? She wants nothing to do with Brody! She signed away her rights to him!" I yell.
"She's still his mother! She was there when he was conceived! You need to ask her if James is Brody's father." He tries to say gently but it just pisses me off more.
"Brody. Is. My. Son. He's not James' kid! I've been the one raising him! I'm his father!"
I know that some of the things my father has said are true. I know that if James really wanted Brody, he could prove that he's his biological father. James could take my son away from me with one simple test. I'm brought out of my thoughts by my father's cell phone ringing.
" Esme? Is everything alright?...Is she okay?... No, we're just about to head home. We'll be there in about three hours. I love you, see you soon.", my father turns to me. " Bella and Jasper were in an accident. We need to get home. Now."
