This is Edward and Bella part two

Bella cradled her son Edward Charlie to her breast as she rocked him. The midwife Esme Cullen had just left the room to retrieve Edward and their daughter. Edward walked into the room with Renesmee toddling behind him, he looked her and the infant over before smiling at them. It was the first smile to reach his eyes since she had told him she was expecting the day in her father's saloon. He walked over to the bed and sat down beside her and lifted Renesmee up so that she could see her baby brother.

"Look Renesmee." He whispered in her ear, though the toddler didn't look pleased.

When he sat her down she crawled to the foot of the bed looking at her parents and brother, she didn't look happy. Bella lifted the baby up and handed him to his father. The blanket fell away from his head and she could the soft bronze hair that matched Edward's and Renesmee's. Though sore and exhausted Bella was proud of her son, and with the way Edward cuddled him he was to. Even though he had said he was happy that Renesmee had been a girl she had known he'd really wanted a boy, and she had finally given him one. The baby's little fist made its way to his mouth and he sucked it hard before crying out.

"Someone wants his ma," Edward said laughing as he handed Little Edward back to his wife.

Once Bella had the baby safely cradled into her embrace and he was suckling her breast happily she turned back to Edward. "Are you working the saloon tonight?"

"No, I was supposed to, but once Charlie hears that his grandson joined us tonight I'm sure he won't be to mad." He kissed her forehead gently.

"So, you're staying?" she asked hopeful. As of late he hadn't been home much.

"Of course, Love. You just gave birth to our son, I'm not leaving you." He kicked off his shoes and moved to sit by her side wrapping his arms around her. Renesmee crawled back up the bed into her father's lap and he kissed her head.

When morning light shined through the window Bella became aware of banging coming from somewhere in the distance. She sat up looking around, Edward and Renesmee lay next to her on the bed while Little Edward had been moved from her arms to the basinet next to the bed. He like his father and sister slept through the banging that Bella had deduced was coming from the front door. She climbed out of bed heading to the small living room where she could hear her father yelling for Edward.

"I'm coming!" she yelled to get him to stop before he woke the baby.

She opened the door glaring at him, "Where's Edward!" he demanded. "He didn't come in last night and Emmett is pissed."

"I'll show you," she said deciding that the best way to explain her husband's absence was to introduce him to his grandson.

She leads him back to the bedroom where Edward had woken up and was sitting up in bed looking around dazed. Bella smiled as she walked to the cradled and lifted her still sleeping baby into her arms. Charlie's gaze landed on the bundle and he walked toward her.

"Pa, this is Edward Charlie Masen." She handed they baby to him.

Edward at this point had stood up and walked over to his wife taking her in his arms. Bella relaxed into his embrace enjoying the feel of him, he hadn't touched her like this in so long. He only seemed to be touching her now as a way to show his excitement over their son.

"Well I guess I can let it slide, this time." Charlie said glaring at Edward. "but don't let it happen again."

"Yes, sir." Edward nodded.

"Seein' how Emmett had to work not only his shift but yours to, why don't you head to the saloon and relieve him of his." Charlie said. "Hurry up, I got to get back to Sue and Leah and Little Jacob, Leah's havin' a hard time with Jake not bein' around."

"Yes sir," Edward turned and began getting dressed

"Why is she still seen' 'em? He's married to Tanya." Bella asked.

"I don't know. You'd think she'd leaned when he refused to leave his wife in the first place." Charlie answered shaking his head.

When he was finished he and Charlie hurried off leaving Bella alone to care for their toddler and infant. Little Edward began to cry as if sensing his father was no longer there. After a while Alice and Rosalie stopped by and at that point it was long pasted time for Edward to be home. His long hours gone were nothing new though she expected it in fact.

Alice and Rosalie had heard about the baby had wanted to stop by and see him. They were Bella's only true friends in town. Rosalie was still considered a stranger even though she and Emmett had been married for some time now, Bella and Edward had been there on her wedding day. Alice and Jasper (the new town sheriff) were newly engaged, rumor had it that Jasper's wife Maria had divorced him for her longtime friends Lucy and Nettie and that they were now more than friends.

Alice sat down at the kitchen table and started talking her wedding. Rosalie on the other hand was far more observant and concerned.

"Where's Edward? He left the saloon some time ago he should be here." She said.

Bella shrugged, "hell if I know. His been spending more and more time gone as of late." She was sadden for a moment. "I think he seein' someone else."

Alice looked shocked, "Edward loves you he would never do that!"

"He could be, you can't trust men," Rosalie said.

Alice turned to her, "Your married! I know my Jazz would never cheat on me."

"Did your cards tell you that? I don't see how you can trust him after all he cheated on his wife with you!" Rosalie shot back thanks the yelling Little Edward began to scream.

Bella rocked him saying to her friends, "calm down you two! I have a plan." They both turned to her, "Rosalie and I will go into down and see if we can find out where Edward is."

"What about me?" Alice asked.

"You are going to stay here and watch Renesmee and Little Edward." Bella answered.

"What?" Alice yelled.

After much arguing with Alice, Bella and Rosalie were on their way to town. They stopped by the now closed saloon and passed by Emmett and Rosalie's apartment. They headed to the jailhouse to see if Jasper had seen him. There was a lantern lit inside on the desk and two men in the cells, one being none other than Phil, her mothers' lover. Bella couldn't see the second one he was in the cell at the far end and hidden in shadows. Jasper sat at the desk with his boot probed up on it and his hat over his face.

Rosalie, not as nice as Bella, kicked his chair causing him to hit the floor and the two prisoners to howl with laughter. Jasper jumped up then glared at them. He looked them over finally recognizing them both.

"Mrs. McCarty, and Mrs. Masen, to what do I owe the pleasure?" he asked.

"We were looking for Edward," Bella said nervously.

Jasper looked her over brows drawn together, "You mean, you don't know?"

"Know what?" Bella countered.

Before Jasper could reply a figure waltzed through the jailhouse doors with a kid tagging along behind him. Bella knew instantly that the tall bronze hair man was her husband and that the kid was Sue's son Seth. She looked him over confused while he stared back startled.

"Bella, what are you doing here?" Edward demanded. "Where are the children?"

"Me! What about you? And MY children are safe at home where you should be!" She yelled back upset. Rosalie glared at Edward as Bella rushed passed him out the door.

"Bella wait!" Edward yelled running after her. He stopped her before she could mount her horse. "Bella, love, wait. Please."

She turned back to him with tears in her eyes, "I don't understand."

He sighed, "I know, I'm sorry. I should've told you. I've been working as a deputy for Sheriff Whitlock, Charlie just up and left Jasper to figure out everything and once while at the saloon he mentioned being overwhelmed so I offered to help. Turned out I like being a lawman, so he made me a deputy."

"Why didn't you tell me? I thought you were having an affair?" she said.

Edward looked at her stunned, "Bella I love you. I would never do that to you or our children. I wasn't trying to hurt you, you were always talking about how being the sheriff of the town ruined your father and I thought you might feel that way about me being a deputy, so I didn't tell you."

She took him by surprise as she threw herself into his arms and put her arms around his neck and kissed him, "It wasn't that my father was sheriff it was that he cared more about being the town sheriff than he did about me and Ma. I think that maybe if he had been around more she wouldn't have cheated on him." She paused thoughtful than asked, "Why is Seth at the jailhouse?"

Edward laughed, "He wants to be sheriff one day. Charlie's been teaching him all about being a lawman." He laughed again kissing her once more. "Come on, love, let's go home."

Bella mounted her horse as Edward went to the hitching post to do the same and they rode through the night toward their cabin.
