Here the second part as promised
A warm hand slipped up Renee's thigh inching closer to her center, she moaned against Phil's ear as his lips inched down her neck. They sat up in the bed Renee shared with her husband Charlie, her dress bundled up at her thighs as his hands roamed her body. Suddenly a loud bang disrupted the couple causing Phil to hit the floor as Renee pushed him away, she jumped up and rushed around the room in a panic. The bedroom door flew open with a crashing sound as it hit the wall. Renee looked over fearing she'd find her angry husband. Relief rushed through her as she turned to face the door finding her daughter Bella leaning on the door jamb out of breath with little Renesmee clutching at her with her little fist full of her mother's hair.
"Bella, what on earth is wrong with you? To come bursting in like that?" Renee demanded once she'd slowed her heart rate.
"Pa is on his way home." She said catching her breath. "Edward came home early saying there'd been a fight in town and Pa was coming to home to retrieve something I think, he didn't say much more than that."
In a panic once more she forced her lover out of the room and to the back door by the small kitchen. "Renee, we can't keep doing this you have to tell him." Phil said shaking his head.
"You know I can't do that and you know why." Renee replied shooing him away.
She watched him leave before turning back to her daughter and granddaughter. "He's right Ma, you can't keep doing this."
"You're a fine one to talk. You knew your father had planned for you marry Jacob and you still had an affair with Edward." Renee sneered at Bella.
"It's different, I love Edward. Do you love Phil? Do you love Pa?" Bella demanded but she slipped out the back door before her mother could answer.
A few seconds later she heard the front door open and close again. She walked to the front room finding Charlie, he looked wore out and tired. She poured him a glass of water like a dutiful wife, and handed it to him. He nodded to her taking it as he walked to the dining room and sat at the table.
"Is everything alright?" she asked sitting across from him.
"A fight broke out between Emmett and some rich man from New York over the new saloon girl Rosalie. Had to shut the saloon down due to the damages they caused. The man from New York is in the jail, thought I'd leave him there alone to cool down." He explained.
An hour later Edward and Bella showed up saving Renee from spending any more time with her husband and she was thankful. It wasn't that she hated him and there had been a time when she'd loved him, just things between them had changed the second they'd headed west. She hadn't wanted to leave their home, their family, their friends, they'd given up everything to go west. Charlie had insisted things would be better out west, but he'd been wrong. Once they'd settled in Forks Washington he been so focused on the town and wealth that she had Bella had fallen out of his sights. She'd tried to be a good wife, a good mother but she'd grown lonely with the lack of her husband's attention and had sought comfort elsewhere.
Phil was not the first lover she'd taken, in fact that had been Charlie's supposed best friend Billy Black. One afternoon he come looking for Charlie and had found Renee alone with Bella, who had been too young to understand. After a short affair with Billy she moved on to Phil who had at the time just come to town after the war.
Renee sat watching Charlie toss Renesmee in the air much to Bella's dismay. Bella sat as close to Edward as she could get with her father present. Charlie tolerated Edward for his daughter's sake, but in truth he hated him and Edward was well aware of that. As the evening wore on it became clear Charlie had no intention of going back to the jailhouse or the saloon, with a sigh Renee slipped out of the room and into the bedroom. When to door open and closed, she looked up to see Bella walking over to where Renee sat on the edge of the bed.
"I think Pa knows." Bella said.
Renee looked over to the girl stunned, "Why do you think that?"
"Yesterday I went to the saloon to visit Edward, Phil was at the bar ordering whiskey after whiskey until Edward cut him off. Pa was sitting in the back like always and the way he was glaring at Phil said he definitely knows something." Bella explained. "I think you should talk to Pa." Renee said nothing, and eventually Bella got up and left the room.
Perhaps Bella was right, Renee knew Charlie deserved to know and even more he deserved an explanation. Not that she had a good one but it was better nothing. With sigh, she stood ready to face the man she'd once loved.
