I hated these nights, the ones where I was just waiting for him to come home. I could never sleep, never eat, and mostly just stared out the window at the lighthouse breaking through the fog.
This time was different though. We now had Evan. Our three month old son. So here I sat, in the rocking chair, feeding Evan while waiting for Edward's boat to break through the fog and bring him back to me.
You see, Edward is a fisherman. He goes out on the boat for months at a time, and I only see him when he gets a chance to come home. I was talking with the harbour master yesterday and he said that the boat had radioed in and told him that they should be expected within the next twenty four hours. The harbour master calls all the families of the fishemen when he gets the radio from the boat. So less than ten hours ago I was informed that my husband and his crew we're going to be home and that he could see his son for the first time.
I guess I should tell you about me and Edward. We both have amazing familes. I have a brother named Jasper and we're only one year apart. Edward has a brother names Emmett and they are two years apart. Then Jasper and Emmett are married to Alice and Rosalie. Alice and Rosalie are sisters and twins at that. They are Edward's age.
Edward and I have been married for three years, and dating for three years before that. I'm twenty years old, and Jasper is twenty one. Edward is twenty three years old and Emmett is twenty five. Alice and Rosalie are both twenty three years old.
Edward and I have only one child and we are the only couple that have a child at the moment. Jasper and Alice arent ready for kids yet, they're waiting until Jasper gets a safer job and Rosalie and Emmett have been trying for years but they have been unsucessful. We're all hoping that they are lucky enough to have one soon.
My and Jasper's parents arent around anymore, not after we both got married so young. I guess it was hard for them to see me give into the housewife ways of life when I was fifteen. I mean, it wasnt them who let me and Edward get married so young. It was Edward and Emmett's parents, Elizabeth and Edward Sr. Rosalie and Alice's parents are also so nice and own the bar just downstairs from all of our appartements. Their names are Carlisle and Esme and they have been parents to me more than my own parents.
Anwyay, here I am waiting for my Edward to finally break through the fog, holding our only child close to me. I was always afraid that something would happen to him while he was away. The sea is not a forgiving creature and it takes what it wants, when it wants it. I just pray that someday it doesn't want my husbands body, heart, or soul. They all belong to me and all mine belong to him.
As the sun starts to rise over the water I get more and more excited knowing that the night is finally passed and that he is that much closer to me than he was before. I put Evan back down in his crib and move to my room to get dressed for the day. Jasper will be coming down soon to watch Evan for whenever the boat gets in and I dont want him to see me in the mess I was in because if he told Edward, then Edward would be sure to quit fishing and stay home all the time. He loves fishing. It's his passion and I would never take that from him.
After getting cleaned up, I made a bottle for when Evan decides to wake up. About twenty minutes later Jasper knocked on my door and made his way inside without me even opening the door.
"Hey sis, you look like shit. What the hell happened to you last night?" He said pulling me into a hug.
"Well I have a fussy three month old baby to take care of thank you very much. So excuse my not being proper enough for you." I snapped a little louder than I should have, knowing he was only concerned for my well being.
"I'm sorry sis, it's just, I know that Evan sleeps through the night most nights, and I dont want this thing with Edward to take such a toll on you. I hate seeing you like this."
"Dont you dare say anything to Edward, he loves fishing and I wont take that away from him Jasper. Please just leave it alone." I begged.
"He loves you more." He said simply and sat down.
"I know that, but I still want him to have this. It'll all work out, okay." I smiled at him and he smiled back and nodded.
That's when the fog horn burst through the quiet of our small town, indicating that the boat was on the horizon and would be docking in no more than twenty minutes. I flung myself off the couch and looked at Jasper with excited eyes.
"Go get him sis, we'll be here when you get back." He said and hugged me one last time before I flew out of the appartement and down to the dock to wait for my love.

AN: I just wanted to post this, because I think that I want to continue it. I am starting to write a new chapter for it now, but I'll only update when I know that someone else wants to read it. I know the first chapter isn't long, and to be honest it will probably be a lot of small chapters other than a small amount of big chapters. I will update when I can. I didn't see any other stories like this on here and decided to give it a try. Please review if you think I should continue or if you have any suggestions, or questions. I will answer them if I can. Thank you!
Also, I do not own twilight in anyways shape or form. Too bad though.
