Hello again! Here we have it part twoooo!
Enjoy :3
"How about the fact I'm now a dad"
Well shit…my elbows slipped off the counter in shock and three things happened at once. The phone flew across the kitchen floor hiding itself somewhere under the cupboards, my forehead slammed into the edge of the counter and this caused me to say a string of words that would have my poor grandmother turning in her grave.
With one hand holding my now throbbing forehead I scanned the kitchen floor for the phone but it was nowhere in sight, I got down on my knees and felt along under the cupboards.
"Here phoney phoney phone, come to mummy Bella!" I could hear a faint voice calling my name and I felt towards it. I finally found the phone and pulled it out from its hiding place sitting down on the floor my back against the oven.
"Edward you there?"
"Yeah, what just happened?" I rubbed my poor forehead.
"Nothing I just dropped the phone, now I need you to say that again because it sounded like you said, I'm a dad, but you didn't say that did you?" My voice sounded hopeful.
"Yes Bella I did just say that." He sighed again.
"Um okay, help me out here because last time I saw you, which I will point out was two days ago you were a single man with no children in sight and now you are telling me you are a father?" and then I remembered what he had said earlier "Oh God, it's Tanya's isn't it!"
"Yeah, she appeared yesterday at the door with her." Whilst the thought of Edward having a baby scared me I couldn't help the rush of joy that shot through me at the thought of the child.
"What's her name?" I asked exited.
"She hasn't named her yet." My mouth formed a small o in shock.
"She hasn't named her yet? Why not?"
"It's complicated." I frowned.
"Well, it doesn't matter because you'll think of a name soon. I can't wait to meet her! She can call me aunty Bella when she grows up and everything! So what are you and Tanya planning on doing? Are you going to get back together for the baby or are you going to share her like you have her a few days and then Tanya does?"
"Bella"
"But wait doesn't Tanya live like over two hundred miles away? That's a bit of a journey, or is she moving back into the area?" My voice was slowly getting faster in panic.
"Bella"
"Does this mean you are going to take time off work to spend with her? Wait does Alice know? Oh my god do your parents know?" I was practically shouting at this point my hand to my forehead for reasons other than pain.
"Bella! Listen to me for a second!"
"Sorry."
"I don't need to worry about all that stuff now."
"But why not this is all important stuff…"
"Bella! Stop interrupting me. We don't need to worry about all that stuff because Tanya is gone."
I couldn't reply. What did he mean Tanya was gone? Gone where?
"And yes I have told my parents" He gave a dark chuckle "In fact they were here when she turned up."
I still couldn't respond, the conversation had finally caught up on me. Edward was now a father. A by the sounds of it a single father, it would explain the fact that Tanya had not given her a name. The boy that I had grown up with, making mud pies and having tea parties with Alice was now responsible for someone else.
Edward could hardly look after himself let alone a baby. It had only been last week when he had phoned me to ask me how to make pasta!
"She left you with her didn't she." I asked softly.
"Yeah" His voice was shaky.
"Are you okay Eddie?" I hadn't called him Eddie since we were little.
"No Bells, I'm really not okay. I don't know what to do." I could here the tears in his voice.
"Eddie?"
"Yeah" He choked out the word.
"I'm coming over so make sure the door is unlocked." I heard him sniff and sigh.
"No it's alright, you need sleep. I'll be okay I promise." I heard some more sniffing.
"Edward"
"Yes Bella"
"I'm coming over."
"Thank you" I barely heard the words he spoke so softly, I heard him disconnect the call and I lent my forehead back against the oven and sighed.
Sleep could wait, Edward needed me.
There we go!
Next time we meet Edward's baby girl!
