Chapter Three:

Reunion

EPOV

There was loud laughter and chattering coming from downstairs. Come on, I just got her to sleep. I walked over to my daughter's crib and found her brilliant green eyes gazing up at me, wide open. "I guess you and daddy are going to go downstairs and find out what all this ruckus is about." I picked my baby girl up, and jogged down the stairs with my six month old, safely secured in my arms.

"What is all this about? I just put—Bella?" My eyes, widened in shock. I didn't expect my childhood best friend to show up, just my idiotic brother and sister fighting over something stupid. I shifted my daughter from one hip to the other, to get a better look at my childhood sweetheart. I froze taking in the girl I spent thinking of most of the years she was away. The girl that I promised to marry when she was back. The only girl that slept in my arms. The only girl besides my daughter that I actually loved. "Bella, is that really you?" I called in disbelief thinking that my imagination was getting the best of me. She nodded wordlessly, walking up to me offering a hand to shake.

I rolled my eyes at her and reached out to give her a tight hug.

She graciously accepted. "Oh and who is this cutie pie?" Bella asked touching my daughters cheek.

"Uhm, this is Mia, my daughter…" Bella eyes flew open in shock and I gulped nervously. I knew it was out of line, but Bella's opinion meant the most to me.

"Your…your your daughter? I nodded, staring at my feet. Bella took the moment I stared down at my feet, to compose herself. She then turned to me. "Edward, your daughter is beautiful. You and her mother must be very happy to have her. I'm sorry for barging in on you guys. I truly am…I should get going." Bella pointed out the door.

"Bella, don't be silly," my mother Esme jumped in. I hadn't even noticed anyone in the foyer besides, Mia, Bella and myself. "You are no intruder, you are like a daughter. Why don't you join us for some dessert?"

"I'd like that. We really do need to catch up," I added, reaching to cup Bella's shoulder. I really was reluctant to let her leave again, even if it was to Charlie or Renee. I looked up, searching for Bella's eyes. Once I found those chocolate, brown spheres, I was caught up in them. I saw my five year old fiancée, my girlfriend, my best friend. I found my Bella, in those eyes. I wonder what she found in mine.

"Hey, lovebirds, we have ice cream melting," someone I assumed was Emmett called form the kitchen. I blushed finding Bella gazing at me, too.

"Come on." I took her hand in my free one and led her into my family's dining room. I pulled out a seat for her and took the one next to her, sitting Mia on my lap her back against my stomach.

"Can I hold her?" Bella asked, smiling at Mia. I grinned at my best friend's enthusiasm, settling Mia in her waiting arms.

"Hi, Mia!" Mia turned to Bella, her eyes open and her little mouth turning up into a tiny smile. "Aww, aren't you adorable," Bella giggled. She made funny faces at Mia, causing her to giggle adorably.

"Ice cream time," Emmett, my older brother boomed, pulling Mia's high chair up on my other side, so that Bella and I were right by each other. Esme followed coming in with a tray of bowls of ice cream. She placed one in front of dad, Emmett, Alice and one in front of Bella.

"Oh, dear. There was only enough for four." She seemed to be deliberating who wouldn't have some ice cream. "Emmett, give Edward yours."

"What?! NO!" Emmett yelled.

"Don't worry, Esme. I'll share mine with Edward," Bella laughed. Esme smiled at us, settling out all the needed toppings; sprinkles, Hershey's chocolate, Marshmallows, Magic Shell chocolate syrup, Whipped Cream and the necessary crushed Oreo cookies. Bella and I dove into the toppings, she grabbed the Magic Shell syrup and I snagged the whipped cream. She topped the ice cream with the Magic Shell, dripping some on her finger. Then all of a sudden, there was something sticky on my nose and Bella was laughing, about to fall out of her seat. Did she just wipe chocolate syrup on my nose? I lifted my hand to see what was on my nose and chocolate syrup it was.

I grinned at her deviously and shook the can of Whipped Cream and sprayed a little dollop on her nose. Bella glared at me in disbelief. I swiped some of the Whipped Cream off her nose and dipped it into my mouth. I swirled the vanilla flavor in my mouth. "Mmm, Bella flavored," I laughed. Bella rolled her eyes at me like she did when she was five and shoved at my chest. I shook the can of Whipped Cream again and saw Bella flinch at the noise it made. I chuckled, nudging her in the side and swirled the Whipped Cream on top of the Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Ice Cream.

Bella reached for the Oreos when her wrist caught my eye. "Bella is that?"

"Oh you mean this?" she pointed to the cuff around her slender wrist. "Yes, this is the cuff you gave me when we were five."

"Nuh uh!"

"Yeah huh."

"Nuh uh!" We argued like we were five again. Bella took off the cuff on her wrist and handed it to me. I examined every single detail. "It's exactly how I remembered." I wrapped the leather cuff around Bella's wrist, lacing it closed.

"Hey! Hello! Earth to Lovebirds! Yohoo!"

"Emmett, could you be any more obnoxious?!" I muttered, still holding Bella's hand in mine, caressing the back of her hand with my thumb.

"Duh, Edward and oh yeah, I want to know when the wedding is!"

BPOV

The way Edward had stared at me only moments ago, made sparks fly before my eyes, let butterflies loose in my stomach. And the way he held my hand now made me want to jump him and press my lips to his. My stomach was doing flips.

"Hey! Hello! Earth to Lovebirds! Yohoo!" Emmett called. My eyes snapped up to relax on his face. He was grinning ear to ear, so that meant he had something up his sleeve. Alice seemed very informed as well, seated gracefully next to him.

"Emmett, could you be any more obnoxious?!" Edward muttered icily. My hand had started going numb from the sensation Edward caused as he rubbed the back of my hand with his thumb. I felt the blood rushing up to color my cheeks all the way to my hairline.

"Duh, Edward and oh yeah, I want to know when the wedding is!" Edward and I both froze in our positions, Edward's thumb resting on the back of my hand, under the table on my thigh.

"Eddie? Bella? Are you gonna say anything?" Alice called.

"Hey! Stop playing footsie down there!" Emmett boomed loudly. The blush on my cheeks, scorched on. Edward released my hand and placed both hands back on the table.

"I…I…" he stuttered.

"Ahh, we were five back then, right, Edward. You really didn't mean what you said!" I laughed nervously, hoping that everything he said was true, praying. Edward looked to me.

"Right," he smiled. "Exactly right." He put a hand on my shoulder and I couldn't help but lean into him.

"If you guys aren't going to eat your ice cream, I'll take it," Emmett yelled across the table his mouth full. Esme smacked his hand.

"Emmett Cullen, hands on your own food!"

"Fine! Jeez! Keep your pantyhose on!"

"Emmett Cullen!"

"Oooh! I have a memory of Bella and Edward!" Alice chimed in. "Remember when they sang Bohemian Rhapsody to each other!"

"I remembered that, they'd sing to each other, then Bella would bust out dancing like an Oompa Lompa when it got to the Rock Opera part," Emmett boomed. I stuck my tongue out at him.

"Emmett that was uncalled for," Alice laughed, bumping fists with her older brother. "Oh yeah and then Edward would turn bright red when Bella would hold his hand! We'd tease him that he was brighter than Bella."

"Yeah, Bella was always the bold one. Always making the first move, unlike Eddie here." I laughed looking to Edward. His cheeks were like tomatoes.

"Mom, I'm going to take Bella up to my room, so that we can catch up. Do you mind?" Edward asked.

"No not at all." Edward reached for Mia, taking her out of her high seat.

"I'll carry her," I offered, holding my arms out. Edward handed her to me. I held her, patting her back gently as Edward led me up the stairs, then another set of stairs.

"Mia and I have a whole floor to ourselves," Edward explained as we stepped onto the third floor landing. "Esme remodeled it, so that most of the rooms are connected and so I have full access to Mia's nursery." I smiled at him, and when he looked me in the eyes, I was locked in his emerald irises. Somehow when I gazed at them, I saw myself, as if I was his future. That's ridiculous; Mia's mother is his future. Mia is his future. I shook my head at the thought. Edward moved on, you guys were five. He's seventeen, you're seventeen. It was bound to happen. I shook my head more violently now.

"Bella are you alright?" Edward was face to face with me now. He raised his hand and cupped my cheek in his palm. I dropped my gaze from his face, to look down at my snow boots.

"Yeah," I nodded. "I'm fine. It's just that I can't get over how deep your eyes seem, like I can look right into your soul. It's beautiful."

"Thank you," he blushed. "I can't get over how beautiful your eyes are either. It's the same way. It's like I can read your mind…" his eyes held mine again. I was mesmerized in all the memories I found in his eyes. I was drowned in the past.
