A Good Thing

Chapter 17:

APOV

I loved to shop. So finding myself at the mall at nine in the morning was not unusual. My shopping companion, however, was.

“Alice, please stop. I need…no I must have coffee.”

“Fine, just stop whining. Shit, Rose, one would think that you were three not twenty-three.” I turned in the direction of the Starbucks, thinking a latte sounded really good. We had just entered the famed coffee shop when I stopped short, causing Rosalie to slam into my back.

“What the fuck, Alice?” I pointed in the direction that had captured my eye, pointing out the couple at a nearby table. “Mother-fucker.” Rosalie hissed.

Seated about ten yards from us, was none other than Tanya Denali and an unknown man. They looked to be in deep conversation and she was gesturing wildly. I grabbed Rose’s arm and procured a table near the pair so that I could eavesdrop.

“You said I would never have to worry about any of this coming to light. You’re a liar.”

“Well you my dear, are a little slut. So don’t blame me for your predicament. I told you I don’t use condoms, you said you were on the pill.”

“I am on the pill. You must have super sperm or something.”

“Quiet down. For this to work, you have to make sure that Cullen thinks this is his kid. I want Isabella and I intend to have her.”

Rose and I decided we had heard enough and got up to leave. We had always known that Tanya’s baby wasn’t Edward’s, now we had verbal proof. I just hoped that Edward got the DNA results soon. Rose and I decided to tell everyone when we got home. I just wished I could place the man. I knew I had heard that voice before, I just couldn’t remember where.

BPOV

I rolled over in the bed when I heard Edward on the phone. I sat up and leaned toward him, placing my hand on his shoulder letting him know I was there.

“Are you positive?” Edward asked the person on the other end of the line. “Have you called her yet?” He paused, listening. “May I ask that you don’t? I would rather tell her the news in person…” Pause, “I appreciate it. Thank you.” Edward disconnected the call and rolled over to me.

“Well?” I asked impatiently.

“That was Dr. Gerandy. He had the test results…” He stopped and started kissing my neck.

I giggled. “Edward! Tell me what he said.” He continued to trail his lips over my collarbone and down to my breasts, eliciting a moan.

“Whom are we talking about?” He paused long enough to look at me before his tongue snaked out and flicked my nipple.

I grabbed his hair and pushed/pulled him off of me. “Tell me the results, Edward Anthony Cullen, or I will get out of this bed, leaving your iron cock in misery.”

“I doubt that,” Edward smirked. “He told me that there will only ever be one woman who will be the mother to my children and her name is not Tanya Denali. He said that there is no way her baby is mine. He is 99.99% sure.” He resumed his kissing and we celebrated privately.

Several hours later we were downstairs hanging in the garage trying to write a new song when Alice and Rosalie came running in.

“Edward! Bella! You guys are not going to believe this.” Alice stated, breathlessly.

Edward and I turned as they stopped to catch their breaths. “What’s up, Tink?” I asked.

“Ok, so, Rosalie and I went shopping this morning and while we were out we decided…”

“I decided I needed coffee.” Rosalie interrupted.

“Anyway, as I was saying. We got to the Starbucks and guess who was there?”

“I’m on pins and needles.” Edward muttered.

I elbowed him and looked at Alice. “Who?”

“Tanya!” Alice said excitedly.

“Okay…I am not really seeing the big deal here, Alice.” Edward stated matter of factly.

Rosalie shook her head at Alice. “What the pixie is trying to tell you is she wasn’t alone. Tanya was meeting with some guy and they were talking about how they planned to pin his baby on you, Edward. Apparently the plan is to get you to be with Tanya so this guy can be with ‘Isabella’.” she finished, using air quotes

I paled. “He called me by my full name?”

“Yes. I thought his voice sounded familiar, but I couldn’t place it.” Alice said. 

I jumped up and immediately ran through the house. “EMMETT!” I heard the footsteps behind me but didn’t acknowledge them. I kept running until I found my brother.

“What is it, Bells? Why are you screaming like that?” Emmett came out of the bathroom, grabbing my forearms.

“Have we gotten any mail lately?”

“It’s on the table. I haven’t looked through it yet, why?”

I turned and ran back down the steps and into the kitchen. I skidded to a stop in front of the table and grabbed the mail from today. I looked through it until I came upon a letter marked with the state seal. I frantically ripped it open, as everyone else walked into the kitchen. I quickly read the contents and looked at my brother in anguish.

“He’s out. They let him out, Emmett.” I collapsed into my brothers arms.
