Part I-Bella POV

"Edward, this is not going to work anymore. I refuse to bring our daughter in this chaos. It's time for you to make a decision." Bella said to her boyfriend of five years.

"Bella, it's not that easy. I can't just leave my wife." Edward replied.

"Why not? Masen is 3 and our daughter will be here in three months. Your son sees you one week out of every month. We were supposed to be done with this before Masen was born, Edward." Bella said shocked.

"You knew what you were getting into when we first got together. We fell in love, Bella, in the middle of some complicated circumstances. I told you that I would leave my wife when the time was right and I fully intend to keep my promise. You just have to give me time." Edward said.

Bella ran soothing circles on her large belly, where their daughter was doing somersaults on her ribs, before looking up at Edward with a concerned face.

"Edward, you live in New York and we live in Washington. You have a successful life out there with the perfect wife, perfect siblings, and perfect family. Masen hasn't even met your siblings or your parents. I'm just scared that you are going to get tired of living the double life and forget about us. Yes, we live comfortably because of you but that is not enough anymore. We need you with us." Bella pleaded.

"Right now, you guys can't be with me, Bella. My company is about to go public internationally and I am under a lot of pressure from the board members." Edward said.

"In other words, you don't want anyone to know about us. How long am I supposed to stay a secret? How long is your son? It's not fair to Masen, Edward. He didn't ask for this. He was born into this catastrophe." Bella said.

"I know, Bella, but what do you expect me to do? I can't just up and leave her with no explanation. I at least owe her that." Edward said.

"Have you at least filed for divorce from her?" Bella asked.

"I have been looking into it, Bella. These things take time. They are not gonna just happen overnight. I am doing the best that I can." Edward said.

"Things have to change, Edward. You have to change. I refuse to be put in the background while you gallivant around town with your wife. You're not happy with her. You're happy with me and Masen. So just leave her and come home. Stay home, please." Bella said with threatening tears in her eyes.

"Baby, look. Everything will be fine. We will be fine and things will work out the way that we want. Someday, you will meet my family. Masen will meet his cousins. And once the divorce is final, we will be able to be together. We just have to give it time." Edward said as he wiped the tears from her face.

"Time? It seems as if all I have ever given is time, Edward. I just…" Bella didn't get to finish. Their conversation were interrupted by the sound of Edward's phone ringing. By the expression on his face, Bella knew that it was his wife calling.

"Sorry, Bella, but I have to take this." Edward said pleadingly.

"Are you serious? If you answer that phone, you can enjoy the couch tonight. Do not knock on my door before you leave in the morning. After all, you have to get back home to wifey." Bella said seriously.

Edward looked at Bella before pressing the green button and answering. Bella looked at Edward shocked before walking to their bedroom and slamming the door before the tears threatened to fall. She was desperately in love with a married man and the mother of his only child. With no other family, how in the hell was she going to get herself out of this mess?

Waking up the next morning, Bella walked into the living room to see Edward's suitcases gone and a note on the glass living room table. She picked up the note and noticed Edward's handwriting.

My Sweet Bella,

I am so sorry for the pain that I am causing you and Masen, but if there was an easier way around this I would taken it in a heartbeat. Me and you were never supposed to fall in love, but we did and I would never change that for the world. I will fix this, Bella. I promise. Give Masen a kiss for you. Call you soon.

Love,

Edward

Bella sat down as the tears began spilling again. It wasn't until she heard the soft footsteps of her son that she began to pick herself up and begin another day.

Manhattan, NY

Edward just step foot into the house that he unhappily shared with his wife. He knew the way that he left things with Bella was wrong, but now he was in even more trouble. Not only was Tanya nagging him about his monthly trips and starting a family, but his mom and sister were too. Edward walked up the stairs in their two-bedroom brownstone and went to the room that he shared with his wife for the past 6 years. Tanya was sitting on the bed with a white stick in her hand. From previous experience, Edward automatically knew what she was holding.

Edward cautiously asked "Tanya, what's wrong?"

Tanya looked at Edward and replied "Its positive. We're having a baby."

Edward "What?"

Tanya smiled tearily "We're finally going to be a family."

Edward looked at Tanya shocked. The last thing he needed was for Tanya to tell him that she was pregnant and he is pretty sure about the conception date. The one time he had a fight with Bella and got drunk after missing Masen's birthday and took comfort in his wife. Edward groaned and walked out the door. After getting into his car, he called his best friend, Jasper, who also happened to be dating his sister.

Jasper "What's up, Edward? You back in town yet?"

Edward "Jasper, I'm in some deep trouble. Can we meet at the spot?"

Jasper "Yeah. I'm on my way."

Waiting in the bar with drink in hand, Edward was nervous. Things with Bella were already shaky and the ring that he bought her to propose was sitting in a safe in his office. He wanted to be in Washington with the love of his life and their son, but he still had yet to let Tanya or his family know that he was leaving her or the fact that he had another family. Edward was shaken out of his thoughts as Jasper sat down.

Jasper "What's up? You sounded down on the phone. Everything okay?"

Edward replied "Tanya's pregnant."

Jasper "Really? Damn. How in the hell are you gonna explain this one to Bella? You and Tanya were supposed to have been done months ago."

Edward "Jasper, I messed up and when Bella finds out she is going to take my kids and leave. She's already extremely emotional due to this pregnancy, but to find out that Tanya is expecting too, Bella is gonna flip. She keeps asking me to choose and I don't know what to do."

Jasper "Do you love Bella and Masen?"

Edward "Of course I do. I have never met anyone like her and she brought me my son. She gave me the life that I have always wanted and I don't want to let it go."

Jasper "Then do right by them, Edward. Divorce Tanya and go be with Bella and your children. Your parents and Alice will understand. Emmett won't care. You can do the business from anywhere and you have been talking about opening a location in Seattle. Maybe now is your chance. Call Jenks and have him draw up the papers."

Edward "That's the thing. Jenks drew up the papers three months ago. I just haven't given them to Tanya yet."

Jasper "I can't tell you what to do, Edward. I can only give you advice and your heart is in Washington with a beautiful woman and your son. Someone is going to get hurt and my guess would be that Bella doesn't deserve this. You both went into this relationship knowing everything it entailed, but its been five years. Masen is getting to a point where he probably is questioning why you are never there like all the other parents. Do you want that for your daughter as well?"

Edward "No. I want to be there. I missed Masen's first steps and his first word. I would like to be there for my daughter but how in the hell am I supposed to be successful with this move in Seattle before she comes."

Jasper "You can start by giving Tanya those divorce papers and moving out of that house. You can stay with me and Alice until you get your affairs in order, but Bella is not gonna wait around forever, Edward. If you don't do something now, you will lose her."

Edward pondered everything that Jasper just told him before shooting a text to his parents asking to come over to talk. It was time to come clean about Bella and Masen. With Alice and Emmett living in New York as well, Edward would be able to get this done in a few hours before returning home that was the shit storm that was bound to be Tanya when she found out.
