5:30 in the morning. Man can we talk. The sun was peeking out and Edward and I were still wide awake.

"Bella, do you want some coffee?" Edward asked with a smile across his face.

"Sure, I would help you but I am kind of confined to this bed."

"Don't worry. I'll be right back." He stretched his arms in the air. His shirt lifted a bit showing me a glimpse of this hard abs. I bit my lips, I wanted to see more.

"Bella, all you have to do is ask and I shall show you."

"That's alright Edward, don't bother, I want to be able to keep the gourmet breakfast your making me down." I said smiling back. Two can play that game.

"Well, maybe after breakfast, I'll give you a peek show. For now, am hungry. Is pancakes good for you?" He said.

"Well, I am more of a waffle person myself, but that's fine." I didn't want to bother anymore.

"Be right back" He said as he walked out the door.

This is good, I needed to think. What the heck are you doing Bella? It's like high school all over again. The going back and forth trying to out do one another, I don't know why he kept doing it through high school, but I know why I did. I loved hearing his voice. Don't get me wrong the man was beautiful, but his voice was the first thing I heard before I even met him. Flash back!

I was sitting in my math class when this tiny girl (Alice) sat next to me. She introduced herself and after several seconds later we were having lunch. She talked about her family's move from California, her brothers and shopping. She just kept talking and talking, some people might find it annoying, but I was fascinated. She talked so fast, so as she kept on talking I kept timing her. So far as of today she still holds her own record, 250 words per minute. If only she could use it for good. Well anyways, one day after school, she asked me to go with her to pick up her house. She got lock out and her brother had a spare. So I went with her. The class was not over, so we sat outside the door. You could here every single world. I heard Mr. Belkins, our English teacher, and head of the debating team talking about a homework assignment and asked two students to go out to the podium. Mr. Belkins asked both boys to debate if college entrance exams like the SAT or ACT were good indicators of university success. Alice and I laughed after we heard Mike's response, he was rambling on and on and none of it made sense. He really sucked; even I was embarrassed and I was not even in the class. You would think he would have something more to say since it was a homework assignment. It was so bad that Mr. Belkins stopped him have way through his speech. Then, he asked the next boy his rebuttal. He spoke so eloquently and actually had a lot of good points; I was even considering taking the exam myself. But, honestly, I fell in love by the end of his speech. I didn't care how he looked like. He could be green for all I cared. That voice brought shivers don't my back and I knew I was hooked, whoever he was. After Mr. Belkins finished giving out the next assignment, everyone was out. I kept trying to hear out from the 10 students in the class his voice, but I couldn't find it. Until, he called out Alice's name. I turned around and I could have fainted right there, but thank the heavens I didn't. Alice pulled me over and introduced us. He's eyes never left mine. He kept nodding to whatever Alice was telling him. I stood there red as a tomato. Alice quickly noticed and asked me if I needed to go to the nurse's office. Edward laughed and from then on we've been arguing, true story. Now, I am in his house, waiting for pancakes. In less than 24 hours, I managed to let my guard down.

"Here we go." Edward said breaking my thought.

"Thanks, I owe you one." I wicked. Stop that Bella, we are not in high school.

"Well you can repay me back later." He winked back. What does that mean? He must be joking…. I took a bit of my pancakes, man these pancakes are good, forget waffles, now I eat pancakes.

"You like them?" He asked as he sat on the bed next to my leg.

All I could do was nod, since my mouth was full. I need to get that recipe.

"It's secret recipe." He said. Damn it, now I will never get it. Maybe if I flirt a little, I can make him give it to me. No Bella, bad Bella.

"So are you tired?" Nope not anymore, I answered to myself.

"No are you?" I asked curiously. Maybe he wanted to go sleep.

"Nope, I feel like I am back in college pulling an all nighter. Except this time it was fun." He smiled. He had fun with me…I wanted to kiss him.

"Well we have, let's see… 3 hours to kill until we pick up the kids." Did I just say "we"

"I mean, you have to pick yours and I have to call Emmett." I tried to correct myself, but it wasn't happening.

"Bella, I know what you mean. And don't worry we can both pick them up. There is no point in having Emmett do it."

"Well there is, because Emmett couches little league on Saturdays, and Anthony is on the team. So" I said but Edward cut me off.

"He is! Does he like it?" He looked so happy.

"Yes he does, very much so. Emmett says he is a natural considering who the mother is." I said pointing to myself. My tenancy to trip never rubbed on him. He got his coordination from Edward.

"That's true." He laughed.

"Hey, I resent that."

"Sorry. Do you think I could go with Marie and watch him?"

"Sure you can. It starts at 10. Every one goes to see him." I said.

"Everyone. Who is everyone?" He asked as he moved closer and was now a foot away from me. I wondered why he was so curious.

"You know, your parents, Rose, Alice and Jasper, that makes about everyone I know." I said taking my last bite to my lovely pancakes.

"What about Charlie?" He asked. Oh, so that's what this was all about…he is afraid to see Charlie.

"Charlie is away, he got remarried 6 months ago, and after he retired, he and Sue have been traveling to different part of the states." I said happily. I was glad my dad found someone.

"That's great! You have to give them my congratulations."

"Well, I don't know about that. You see Charlie is not very fond of you. He wanted to go fly to England and shoot you. It took a lot of begging from Esme and me not to let him broad that plane. At the end, it was Alice who convinced him not too. Till this day, I have no idea what she told him, but he calmed down and never talked about it again."

"What do you think he will say, now that I am back?" He looked worried. I wanted to laugh. Even though, I was pretty sure this time Charlie would shoot him.

"I don't know how he'll react, but bring Alice along. That should do it." I said patting him in the back, "Good luck."

"Thanks." He said dryly.

"Don't worry you have until Christmas, he'll be back by then. That should buy you some time. Don't you think?"

"I guess we will cross that bridge when we get there?" What's with the 'we'? I was not going to talk to Charlie, not this time.

"Correction, you will cross that bridge along with Alice. You need a bodyguard." I teased.

"Bella, come one. You have to be there too."

"Nope. Not doing it again. Do you have any idea how difficult it was to tell him that his only daughter was pregnant right out of high school, while the father to be was traveling across Europe without care in the world?" I couldn't stop myself. I know it was not his fault and I shouldn't be so harsh, but that's how I felt at the time.

He was off back packing through Europe, while I had to stay home and had to take on line courses my freshmen year.

"Edward, I am sorry, but that's how I felt at the time." I said trying to salvage our good mood.

"It's alright. I am going to take a shower. Will you be alright?" He spoke softly hiding the pain I've cause him.

"I'll be fine."

He left the room and I stayed here immobilize. Great. Way to kill a good time Bella. Now he will never give me the recipe.

I walked out of the room and headed to the shower. I felt like such an asshole. Like the worst human being to walk the Earth. She was right; she was here dealing with not only being pregnant, but Charlie, my family, college, while I was enjoying my college years. I am a bastard. Not once did I come back. I should have come back at least my first year, but I couldn't. I was offered an internship and I couldn't pass up the opportunity. Throughout my college years, I'd intern during the summers and during my Christmas vacations. I was determined to be an editor. After finishing college, I was going to come back home. But then, Tanya announced to my family that she was pregnant on our graduation day. She didn't even tell me first. I never regretted her having Marie. She was the best thing that came out from my lousy marriage. At first, I wasn't going to marry Tanya. I wasn't in love with her. But, she was carrying my child, so I did the honorable thing. We married, and I tried to love her. I was always faithful to her and Marie, and I am pretty sure I would still be married to her for Marie's sake. But at the end, Tanya made it too easy. She'd been cheating on me for over a year. I finally had to contact a private investigator just to have proof of all her love affairs because every time I would accuse her. She would deny it. So, once I got the proof, our divorce began. Now, I am a free man. But I don't want to be free anymore. I want Bella and my son. I want both of them to be part of our lives. But can she forgive me? Can my son forgive me too? Most of all will Charlie finally shoot me? I needed to know more…I couldn't just go up to her and ask her if she is still loved me. Can I?
