Summary; NHL hockey player Edward Masen met Bella Swan when she was seventeen years old and they instantly fell in love. But when things get too complicated for him he bails, little does he know she finds out she's pregnant. But that doesn't change anything for Edward who wants to focus on his career, wait did I mention that he doesn't know a thing?

A special thanks to everyone who reviewed for the last chapter, you brought me over a hundred reviews for the very first time. Updates are going to be getting scarce in the next couple weeks because I have finals starting the 13th of June, and I'll be studying my butt of, but I promise I will update whenever I get the chance.

Bella Swan

December 23rd

I looked back and fourth between Edward and Logan, I wasn't sure what was going to happen next and I wasn't sure how Logan was going to take the news. Logan wasn't exactly a level headed kid, he took after his father in that way, but I wasn't sure whether he understood what was really happening or not. "What do you mean, you said he wasn't around, he didn't want to be." Logan's voice had as much edge to it as a five year olds voice could and he said it to me as he glared at Edward.

"I know that I told you that he was gone long before you were born, and I never said that he didn't want to be around. Originally yes, I thought that but it was because someone very cruel kept your father from us, someone who thought that your father's career was more important than his happiness. Logan I've figured out very quickly that if it wasn't for that man he would have been here all along, you would have had a father like Alex and Josh, and all your other friends. I don't want you to change how you feel about him just because you found out something new; I want you to continue talking to him like you were before, like you knew nothing of this before. He's your father and I want you to know that, and form now on he will be around." I said softly at first as my voice started getting sterner as I saw the look on Logan's face.

I knew my son better than any other person on this planet and just by his facial expressions you could tell when he was changing his mind about something. The three of us didn't say anything again for another couple minutes and I rested my hand on top of Edward's, who looked extremely guilty about something he didn't do. "Is that why you are going to be playing for the Devil's now? So you can be around for me and mom?" Logan questioned him and Edward nodded.

It was another minute before anyone said anything and Edward and I gave each other confused looks. Logan was the only kid I knew who actually took a minute to think things over at such a young age. He was thoughtful and caring, respectful and a good sport, he was the kid every parent wanted. "I guess I can give him a chance" Logan said giving up and moving over to give Edward a hug. We finished our lunch with things heading in the right direction and afterwards the three of us went back to the house for a little bit of coco and to watch the 5 o'clock hockey game where the Devils played the Tampa Bay Lightening.

I think that it was the first day in a long time that I was truly happy, my family was together and that was all that I could ask for. Logan fell asleep around 9:30 and rather than waking him up like I usually did Edward carried him upstairs as I changed him and he put him into bed. As Edward put Logan to bed I changed into something more comfortable throwing my hair in a ponytail and going downstairs to wait for him.

"I made sure that everything was okay before I came back down." Edward said taking a set next to me on the couch where I sat with my glasses perched on the top of my nose. "When you look at me like that, it reminds me of the old you." He said looking at me pushing my glasses back up my nose.

December 23rd

The thing I loved best about being with Bella and Logan was that we seemed like an actually family at the moment, a family with no problems, a family which was actually functional and only had the minimal problems. After taking Logan upstairs and putting him to bed I stayed a couple more minutes just watching him sleep before going downstairs with Bella.

I walked down the stairs where I had an automatic view of Bella, in the time I had put Logan to bed and watched him for only a little she had changed and was settled back on the couch with her head resting on the back of it. She looked like she was seventeen again, she wore little make up and her hair was in a ponytail, her glasses resting on the bridge of her nose. She had on a blue tank-top with a pair of yoga pants and she just rested her head there as I stepped down and the bottom step creaked.

She looked up at me and didn't say anything, she just stared. "I made sure that everything was okay before I came back down." I said sitting next to her, her glasses slipping before staring at me "When you look at me like that, it reminds me of the old you." I said pushing her glasses back up her noise. Sitting there in silence with her was comfortable. When we were younger we used to lye there in silence, her head would be in my lap and I would just run my hands through her hair.

Either that or we would kiss. There were only a couple times that we had ever slept together, with an amount that I could count on one hand. I was almost twenty-seven years old and I had only ever slept with one person, and I still loved her to this day. Most people thought that professional hockey players or just hockey players in general were total play boys, and of course there were the ones who were like that, but someone of us were decent men. In the last couple months I had noticed it more and more, Emmett was one of those people who slept with whoever he could pick up, while Sidney, Jasper, myself, and a couple of other men on the team weren't like that at all.

As I thought more about that Bella looked at me, "do you ever think about what would have happened if we would have stayed together? I think about it all the time and I just, I don't know what to think."

"Bella I think about it all the time, I've been thinking about it for five years, and the only thing I can think about it that we did and we can't live in the past. Look where we are now, I love you and our son and that's all that counts, I don't think I could love anyone or anything more." It was only in a moment but she leaned in quickly and she kissed me and I accepted it.

We kissed for a while, and I knew now that she was more experienced. I didn't know anything over what had happened in the last five years, who she had been with, what she had done with them, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to know or not, and after that I didn't think about anything else.

Christmas Eve

I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar room with big windows, a four poster bed, a lounge chair, and dark brown dressers. The bed was comfortable unlike the hotel bed I had been sleeping in for over a week, and I realized that my clothes were folded on the lounge chair waiting for me. In that moment I remembered what had happened last night, the heat, the passion, the love making, Bella had not changed one bit.

I walked over to the lounge first pulling on my boxers, then my jeans, and my shirt before I slipped downstairs where Bella and Logan were sitting chatting. "You ready to go to Central Park today?" I heard Bella's voice ask from where she was standing. Logan was sitting at the barstool on the other side of the island and smiled when he saw me.

"Morning dad" he said running over to me as I picked him up and walked over to Bella giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Ewww, you kissed mom that's gross." He said and I laughed setting him down as I wrapped my arms around her waist.

"You know if you keep distracting me like that your food is going to be burnt." She laughed turning to give me a peck on the cheek. I stuck my place with my hands around her waist before she moved to place a small omelet in Logan's plate and another in a plate which she handed to me. "Eat up; we got a big day ahead of us."

I remembered quickly that we were going to Central Park today and that I would have to run back to the hotel to shower and get dressed before coming back here to meet them both before we left. "I have to go back to the hotel and change; I'll meet you back here in an hour." I said giving them each a kiss on the cheek as I pulled my shoes on and ran out the door.

"Ed, take the Rover, it'll get you there and back quicker." Bella said coming to the door holding the sweater she wore closer to her body. I ran back to her with a smile on my face, giving her a kiss and taking the keys from her hand. "Edward and for the record, I love you too."

The thoughts came rushing back to me, I had told her I loved her last night and I realized that until now she hadn't told me she loved me back. I could have guessed it because of what happened last night, but hearing the words come out of her mouth was like gold. As I made my way upstairs to my hotel I wasn't expecting the surprise visitor that was sitting inside. "Sidney?" I questioned

"About damn time you showed up Masen, been sitting here since last night. Thought you would want a little company on Christmas, form what you've been telling me things haven't been going so well." He said getting up to give me a guy hug before turning to sit back in the chair he had been occupying. "Where the hell have you been?"

"Uhmmm, I was at Bella's, I stayed the night last night." I said as he raised his eyebrow giving me a look, "I saw Esme, you remember her right? Took care of Bella once her parents passed?" he nodded "Well I told her how I was having a hard time trying to get her to talk to me, and well she sort of set up this intervention and things went from there. We told Logan I was his father yesterday, and I'm spending Christmas with my family, I can see if you're allowed to come along." I said and he looked at me rolling his eyes.

"I'm sure that if I called my mom back and told her last minute that I was coming home she would be happy." He said before looking at me. "So coach told the team that you would be back for the game against the Sens then you would be moving to Jersey, playing for the Devils. Emmett looked almost heartbroken that you weren't coming back, he doesn't talk much these days, Jazz and I are starting to think that he actually feels bad about what he did." Sidney said and I looked at him.

"Emmett and I used to be best friends, but I honestly don't know if I'll ever be able to look at him again. He almost ruined my entire life, I was lucky that Bella went down to Pittsburgh, if not I don't know how I would've ever been able to get her to believe me." I said and he nodded.

"Well dude I have to go to the airport, I have to try and get a flight to Nova Scotia on Christmas Eve, oh the joy."

Authors note; hehe I'm making you wait for the next chapter :P but I hope you like this one, it's a little shorter than usual but I felt like I was packing more in it than need be so there will be another chapter soon hopefully.
