This is going to be a little slow going, following the next few days of their clusterfuck of issues… and then we will skip some time…..
Side note on Devil Doc's, they are actually Navy. Marines do not have medical staff the Navy medical staff goes with them on missions. However any Devil Doc you talk to is a Marine in their eyes. Being a Devil Doc is one of the craziest, toughest and most rewarding Jobs out there for a military Doctor. So though Edward is technically Navy for my story everything he does is considered Marines.
I don't own anything as always. I hope you guys are enjoying this story. Toss me a review when you get some time and let me know how I am doing.
I love the reviews. Thank you for the few I have gotten. The story alerts are great too. Please tell me what you like, dislike and what me to change or add.
This story has been tormenting me with ideas and ways to go, but then when I sit to write it goes another way like it has a mind of its own. I have a few more chapters after this one already written and lots of partial chapters for latter on. I don't know how long this is going to be or where it will end yet, but I am writing as quick as possible.
Man I'm winded or typed tonight.
Enjoy…

"I'm going to set up the pack and play in my room for her and then you can crash in there tonight with her I'll be in the room next to you if you need any help. If you are wanting to try this on your own I will put some bottles in the bathroom, just follow the directions on the can of formula and make sure you rinse them when you are done."
"Your not giving up your bedroom just put us in the guest room." Edward stated adamantly.
"Nope there isn't a joining bathroom and I know you aren't going to want to go up and down the stairs every time she needs a bottle."
"Then sleep in there with me. I will be good. We can leave the door open."
"Ok. Let me get this all set up and get him to bed."
Walking Trevor up the stairs to his room to get him back into bed was hard to do. He didn't want to sleep and miss anything. Once in his room he started in on questions again.
"Mama I like him and I love her already can we keep them?"
"If it was that easy I'd tell you yes. There are all kinds of things that go into all of this. He promised to be in your life, he will keep good on that. She will be in your life too. Let's be happy with that for now and then just see how everything else goes ok?"
"Just please try Mama. You seem happy with him. He's nice; he liked me to begin with. I wish he could be my dad too." Trevor had a sad look on his face.
"I'm sorry about how things are going with your dad, but we can't just replace him. Even if Edward and I were married Jake would still be your dad. I'm doing what I can about keeping you safe, but don't think for a minute he doesn't love you, he just doesn't know how to control his temper. Maybe once he gets all of that together you will have the dad you want. Now get some sleep we have a long day a head of us tomorrow."
"What about school?"
"You're not going. You haven't had enough sleep and I know you don't want to miss going shopping with us tomorrow."
"Ok, remember to call the school. I love you. Good night."
"I already called them. I love you too baby, don't forget that. Lux being here isn't going to change that you are still my baby and I love you. Sleep well." I kissed his cheek and tucked him into his bed.
Walking into my room I unpacked and set up the pack and play. There was a top part that attached and made it a bassinet which would work for a while for her. Once I had that all set up for her and blankets ready I walked down stairs to the most precious site. I grabbed my camera to catch the moment.
Edward was shirtless sprawled out on the couch passed out with his arms wrapped around and diaper clad little girl who was sleeping as well. I snapped some pictures from different angles and then put the camera back. Grabbing Edwards's cell phone from the coffee table I took a picture and set it as his back ground.
"Edward." I said softly with a hand on his shoulder and then a hand on Lux just to be safe.
Slowly his eyes slipped open and he started at me with the most beautiful smile I have seen yet grace his face.
"All ready?"
"Yup, let's get some jammies on her and then get some sleep." I grabbed the bag of clothes, walked into the kitchen to grab the can of formula and then some of the sterilized bottles and followed Edward up the stairs.
We both got into the bed, Edward in some shorts I found that I stole from Emmett and me in a tank top and short sleep shorts.
"Thank you." Edward softly said while pulling me into his arms.
Laying my head on his chest and tossing an arm over his gorgeous chest I questioned, "For what?"
"Being here, I don't know what I would have done tonight if it wasn't for you."
"You would have told your parents and they would have helped you. Now you need to get some sleep she will be up again soon to eat. We need to take her in to get checked out tomorrow, go to the baby store to get other things for her, you said you wanted to go to the toy store and then you need to go and talk to your parents."
"All of that sounds good, but the last part. I don't want to see the disappointment on their face."
"I'm not going to lie, yes they will be disappointed, you are a doctor, were raised by a doctor and know how babies are made, but once they see her they are going to be proud and happy. Have you thought about going to talk to them and then bringing her over to meet them after you have told them?"
"I was going to see if you minded that. I think it might go better and be easier to deal with everything if they hear all the details first and then meet her. One look at her and they will know she is mine."
"You don't even need to ask. I told you I'm going to help you out. I will, before we take her into get checked out we need to go to the military base and get her added to your insurance and everything."
"I need to speak with Jenks as well, for you and now for me." I could hear the smile in his voice.
"Edward can I ask what it is that you do? I have heard about the devil doc's and it scares the shit out of me to think you are one of them."
"I'm sorry sweetie. I know it can be scary for you, but I have things to come home to now, you and these two kids. I am going to do everything in my power to come home to you guys. To answer your question I am technically Navy, but go out on all missions with Marines. I am stationed at a Marine base and true in heart am a Marine, but since they don't actually have medical staff in that branch I joined the Navy so I could be part of the awesomeness that is the Devil Docs."
"I know, it's just scary. I've never had this much unknown."
"But you have dated other military guys."
"Yeah we were never together long enough to deal with a deployment and they were all grunts or mechanics. Nothing like what little I know about what you do."
"I'm sorry baby. There isn't much I can tell you about what missions we go on or where I will be. There will be times when I cannot contact you, but I will do everything in my power to get home to you guys, even if that meant making a deal with devil. I don't know why but I feel very protective of you and the kids and I know this is fast, but like I said before I'm here for as long as you will have me. I have some things at my house I will get for you when you guys come up that I hope will help you feel closer to me while I'm gone. Since we are talking and not sleeping right now, can I ask you a question now? And you can't get mad or shy away from it please."
"I will try." I don't like where this question is going. I hate when anyone especially a guy wants to ask a question and adds the 'don't get mad' line in there.
"I'm not upset or anything, but I wanted to know what you meant by the comment at the store about not wanting to have two spoiled kids while I'm gone."
"I'm sorry I said that. I don't know what I was thinking before I said that."
"Bella please what were you thinking when you said that?" Edward was looking down at me with his piercing green eyes.
"I just hoped that while you were gone you would be ok with and let you parents know that I am ok to help with her so they don't have to do it all alone." I said this while looking at the little girl to my left.
"Of course I was hoping you would want to be involved with her while I was gone. I wouldn't take her away from you and Trevor."

It's like 8 am. I couldn't sleep last night. I spent most of it staring at a beautiful sleeping woman and my little girl. If some one would have told me a few weeks or months ago I would be here I would have laughed and told them not me, the confirmed bachelor, but now I couldn't imagine the way life would be with out this. I had called my commanding officer to find out that it would be quicker to get things taken care of if I just went back to my home base.
"Hey Bella you guys fell like taking a little road trip?" I had just talked with Jenks and got all of the paper work set up to be delivered, he was going to get everything rushed through a judge for me due to my upcoming deployment and because Victoria's stupid ass was sitting in jail and willing to sign over her rights. I didn't want to wait until the last minuet to do everything. I also wanted to show them my place and get some things for Bella.
"Where too?"
"Camp LaJeune."
"There isn't a base closer? What about Beaufort wouldn't that be closer?" Bella called from the kitchen.
"It's about 60 miles closer to go back to LaJeune. If you don't want to go its fine I'll take Lux and go. It would just be easier for me to get all the paper work taken care of there and they will treat her with out the docs fully in place there."
"What about your parents?"
"I already talked to them. Dad won't be home until after 8 so we have time to run there, get her checked out, and come back."
"Trevor do you want to go with us or do you want to go stay with Emmett or Jasper?" Bella questioned while walking into the kitchen.
"Can we see where you work?" Trevor responded looking at me.
"Sure I'll show you my work, my house and the inside of some very uninteresting military buildings."
Trevor took off into the kitchen to find Bella. I could hear them talking in there.
"Mama please can we go with him?"
"We can go, but don't get attached Trevor." I could tell she was trying to make it to where I didn't hear her, but I did and I have to say I'm really starting to hate how she seems to contradict that she trusts me by saying stuff like this. Talk about a low blow to the ego. I could kill some guys that screwed her over in the past. Brother in arms or not took some real fuked up guys to hurt her like this.
"You both said he would be in my life no matter what, why can't I get attached?" Trevor asked with what sounded like sadness in his voice.
"We will talk later. Go get some warm clothes to take along and brush your hair."
I was sitting on the couch when a sullen Trevor looked at me on his way up to his room. Lux started crying from her bassinet upstairs so I got up and started for the stairs at the same time Bella did.
"I've got her. I need to figure out how to do this myself." This came out harsher then I wanted it too, but I don't know what else I can do? I can't lean on her; I don't want to have this hanging over me with her. She doesn't trust me and until she has decided that she is going to give this her all I can't do this. I have a daughter I need to take care of now.
"What the fuck Edward?"
"Don't get attached right Bella?" Man I'm on a roll talk about being a douche bag again.
"You're going to ease drop and then not ask questions? So much for you wanting to try and prove you want to take care of us, just don't back out of that little boys life or I'm going to kick your ass so help me Edward." With that she stomped up the stairs and into her room slamming the door.
Well that went over well. Walking up the stairs I softly knocked on Bella's door no matter if she wanted to see me or not there was stuff I needed to get so I could get on the road to get back in time to meet my parents.
"What?" Bella screamed at me through the door as Trevor came out into the hall.
"Are you leaving?" Trevor had tears running down his cheeks. He must have heard us arguing down stairs.
"Looks like it buddy, but I'll be back later tonight. Maybe you can come play some video games with me." God now I feel like an ass to him as well.
"She's scared you know? We haven't had someone like you around. She doesn't know how to take it and doesn't want to get hurt again."
"I know buddy. Why don't you go watch some TV and I'll see if you can still come with me to the base."
"Ok." With that he walked down the stairs sullenly and I felt like shit. I have no idea how to smooth this over.
"Bella can I come in please?"
"Why? To yell at me someone or how about make me feel like shit some more or is it that you just want to get Lux and go?" yup she was pissed. I noticed she rambled and didn't sugar coat shit when she was pissed.
"Please?"
She opened the door and walked back over to the bassinet. I walked over to her. Trying to pull her into my arm's but she shrugged me off. Not wanting to push it I started talking.
"Look I'm sorry. You don't trust me and until you have decided that you are going to give this your all I can't do this." She started to interrupt me, but I cut her off. "Damn it Bella, I have emotions in this too. I'm scared, freaked out and fuck if I don't know how not to mess shit up with you, Trevor or Lux. Think this is easy for me? I meet the girl of my dreams am falling in love with her and her son and find out I have a daughter I need to take care of now. This has been crazy stressful for all of us. I don't know how to make you realize that I want to protect you guys. I want to take care of you guys. I want you in my life Bella. What do I have to do to prove this?"
"Just leave it. We can go act happy around Trevor and then when we get back I will watch her while you meet with your parents and get her stuff together for you so you can go back over there. I'll clean up this mess; just don't promise Trevor anything else."
"Trevor heard everything. Why are you trying to kick me out of your guy's life?"
"You have a new baby, you are getting deployed, and you live over 100 miles away. You don't need us to further complicate your life."
I was pissed at this point. I think this was the first time I realized that I wasn't falling in love with her I was in love her. Early as hell into a relationship, but I love her. I stalked over to her pulling her into my arms despite her protest and held her tight whispering in her ear. "Someone comes into your life and half of you say's danger stay away and the other half says make them your own. That's what I want to do Bella. I want to make you mine."

BPOV
The drive to the base was long and strained. We took the truck since the car seat was already in there and that way Trevor would have the DVD player. Edward had placed a call into Jenks and was told that all of the paper work would be ready this afternoon and that he was going to send a copy to Jake so he had time to get a lawyer as Jenks was already able to get me a court date on an 'emergency' bases. As we pulled into the base, got through security Edward directed me over to a building to get the paper work started for Lux.
"I'll wait out here with the kids. Go get what you need done."
"You sure?"
"It would be easier."
"Ok. If you need to come in, just tell them you are with Staff Sergeant Cullen and they will get you to where I am. I'll let them know you might come in."
"We should be good. I'll text you if we are coming in."
With that Edward headed into the building. I have been on military bases before, but this just seemed so different. It wasn't weird almost felt like I belonged and that scared the shit out of me.
Lux crying and my cell phone ringing pulled me out of my thoughts. Handing Trevor a bottle to feed her I looked at the caller ID and groaned.
"Hello" I answered while trying to keep my voice impartial and even.
"What's this paper work Bella?" Looks like Jenks works quicker then I thought.
"Hold on." Looking back at Trevor, "I'm going to be right out side the truck talking on the phone, knock on the window when you're done ok?" Getting a head nod from Trevor I stepped out of the truck. "I'm sure you read what it is Jake. Why are you calling me?"
"Funny thing Bella, I got woke up to someone knocking on my door. I answer it to a uniformed officer. I had no idea what they would want, but it freaked Leah out until he handed me the paper work. This paper work just answered my questions. I'm moving back to Forks Bella, Leah wants to go back to the Rez and I'm needed there. I love Trevor and want to be in his life, but I don't want to be in it this way."
"What's that mean for Trevor?"
"I will send presents, call and write, but I think the best for all of us is for me to just sign over my rights. I don't want to hurt you guys anymore. He's young he will get over it easy."
"I send you papers to keep him safe while you deal with your anger and you want to counter with signing over your rights? He's always going to remember Jake. What do you want me to tell him, that you're new wife and your move is more important then him?" I was pissed. Sure this would make it easier for me and Trevor, but he's been through so much this isn't going to help.
"Can't we just tell him that I'm moving and that we will keep in touch as much as possible and leave it as that?"
"Fine, just let the lawyer that sent you that information know and he will get the paper work ready. Just don't fully abandon him Jake. I don't give a fuck what is going on with us, don't cut him out. I wasn't much older then him when my mom did that and look where that got me?" I felt arms around me and instantly knew it was Edward. He kissed my head and held me while I was going off on Jake.
"I'm sorry Bella. I think for both of your sake he will be much better. Let Edward in and he will be just fine."
"How the fuck do you know about Edward? I'm going to kill Emmett." I felt Edward stiffen behind me. I wasn't in the right mind to decide if it was good or bad.
"Don't kill him. I asked how you were doing and how Trevor was. He didn't mean to tell me. I pulled it out of him. I'm honestly happy for you Bella. Is he good to you and Trevor?"
"Yes."
"He right there isn't he?"
"Just got back here yes."
"Don't shut him out because of me or the other guys. Don't let your issues with your mom get in the way either Bella. You never would have told me off like that before especially when it was getting you more then what you wanted. We are moving next week. Do you think this weekend we can all meet so I can say bye to Trevor. Edward can come so you aren't alone and feel safer."
"That shouldn't be a problem. If not we can meet with Emmett, Jasper or Rose with us."
"Can you do something for me Bella?"
"What do you want?" I had no idea why he was being this way or why he was acting nice, but I'm sure this is where the catch to all of this comes in.
"Can you put Edward on the phone?"
"No! You can talk to him when we get together."
"Please."
"Fine, but if you start anything and I mean anything I will come and kick your ass tonight."
"It will be fine."
I muted the phone and pulled away from Edward to look at him.
"Did you get everything done you needed to do?"
"Haven't started, one of the clerks got some complaints about a woman cussing up a storm in the parking lot." He smiled at me.
"Fuck I'm already starting to make you look bad. Jake called he got the paper work from Jenks. Here he actually wants to talk to you." I unmated the phone and then handed it to him.
EPOV
"Jake this is Edward Cullen what can I do for you?" Why the fuck did this guy want to talk to me, why did he get her so upset and why the hell am I standing here like an idiot having a conversation with a jack ass that deserved the shit beat out of him, trying to be nice.
"Edward, let me first tell you that I don't want to have this conversation over the phone, but for Bella and my wife Leah's fears they wouldn't leave us alone to have it in person. I don't know if you have gotten the full story about Bells and I or not, I'm not going to tell you she was wrong, I'm sure she sugar coated it. What I did to her there isn't words for. What I did to Trevor there isn't words for either and I only hit him once."
"One is too many times." I was pissed.
"Your right it was. I'm working on fixing things. I wanted to ask you to take care of them. Bella is stubborn. After her mother left and then the things with her and me she doesn't trust anyone. Emmett has given you the green light of being trust worth. I am going to trust him on that. Don't give up on her she will try and push you away, probably already has because she is starting to feel you care, just look out for them."
"I already am trying."
"Just don't give up on her and you will be just fine. I'm moving next week and would like to get together with you guys if you are free to say good bye to Trevor. I figured if you were there I could meet the man that has started taking a role in my son's life and then Bella and you would feel more comfortable with her meeting me as well."
"Trust me when I say I'm not going to. And one thing you need to know now is that no matter what I am not backing out of your son's life, I will always be in it for as long as he will have me. And I am sure we can work out something with getting together before you leave just give Bella a call with some times that work for you."
"Sure thanks man. Can you guys not tell him I'm leaving yet? I want to be the one to do that."
"I will talk with Bella, but I am backing her on what ever she decides to do."
"Understandable, I have taken up enough of your guy's time. Tell Bella I will call her in a few days when I have a for sure date of when we are moving."
"Will do." I hung up the phone handing it back to Bella and pulled her back into my arms.
"He's leaving. Going back home."
"I know sweetheart. It will be ok. I am going to be here for you one way or another." Well shit can't get much worse from here can it? Trevor is losing his dad and me in a short amount of time. I hope Bella isn't going to check out emotionally on him while trying to deal with all of this.
"I promise no more embarrassing you while you are in there. We will be out here waiting."
"You didn't embarrass me. I was worried about you. It shouldn't take too much longer. We will go get some food after this and then swing by the hospital and then my place. Text me if you need anything."
"Ok." With that Bella climbed back into the truck and started pulling Lux out of her car seat.
Victoria screwed a lot of things up, but at least the diaper bag that was with Lux had her social security information, her shot records, doctor records and the birth certificate with my name on it. This would make things a little easier.
I walked back into the waiting area and was taken on back into an office.
"At ease Staff Sergeant Cullen, I'm Major Evan's, have a seat I'm sure you are wondering why you are back here and not getting paper work to leave?" I took a seat where he directed me and replied.
"Yes sir." No good can come out of this. What the hell else is going to be tossed at us before we can do anything else in our life?
"Well the problem is that with you adding your daughter and being single we need to have some sort of record of a power of attorney for your daughter before your deployment. I need some paper work signed by who ever this might be. I will still get her seen today with no problems, but for everything else legal I need the POA or this paper work."
"Ok. I will have to bring that back up in the next few days. What do I need to do today to get her taken care of?"
"This is all you need right now, Cullen remember the sooner I get that paper work the better."
"Yes sir thank you."
"You are dismissed." Getting up taking all the paper work I needed and walked back out to the truck to find Bella watching while Trevor played with Lux in the grass.
Walking up behind her I boldly pulled her into my arms and whispered in her ears. "They are good together."
"Yes they are. Did everything go ok?"
"Not as expected, but all will be ok. I'm going to have to come back in a few days."
"Are we still taking her to get checked out?"
"Yeah," I kissed her neck under her ear while smiling. "Trevor, where do you want to go eat?"
"I don't care anything is fine with me."
"Ok, Bella where would you like to go and eat at?"
"Subway or some fast food burger place is ok with me."
"Sure mind if I drive from here?"
"I was going to ask you to."
"Sure let's load up and get out of here." While we were loading back into the truck some of my buddy's from my unit walked by noticing me they stopped and walked over to me.
"Cullen thought you were going home for R and R what the hell you doing back here?"
"Just getting some paper work taken care of."
"Damn who's the sexy mama with you?" Bella blushed while shutting the door behind Trevor.
"Woods, Smith this is Bella, that's Trevor and the little one in her arms is Lux." I pointed to Trevor and then pulled Bella into my arms while stroking my daughters head.
"Damn boy here we thought you were a player and now we are seeing that's just a cover. Did you know we use to think this guy got more ass then a public toilet seat?" The jack ass Woods addressed Bella like I wasn't even standing there.
"So I hear. Isn't he also known as Panty-Dropping-Cullen?" Bella smirked back with her answer, damn that spit fire attitude that comes out of her sometimes is sexy as hell. She'd fit in well with this team I work with.
"Shit and you ain't castrated him yet?" Smith found his voice first.
"Nope; as long as he doesn't do it on me." That hurt below the belt.
"Nice guy's thanks for making me look like an even bigger jack ass douche bag then I already make my self look like some times."
"Its fine Eddie, like I said, so long as you are true to me then you have nothing to worry about." I should take some sort of fear out of this, but all I can think of is that she just pretty much told me that she was willing to be with me so long as I didn't fuck around on her. Fuck yeah I could deal with that.
"You are so whipped." Woods smiled while Smith just smirked.
"Any way's ladies, no offence to the real one here we need to be going. I will be back a week from Monday."
"We should have them over for dinner one night that week. Are you guys deploying with him?" Bella shocked me with this statement. She has been avoiding the deployment talk.
"Yeah we both are. As long as we aren't subjected to his cooking we would love to come and hang out with two Beautiful women." Smith smiled while gazing at Bella then down to Lux.
"She looks just like you man. Why doesn't anyone know about this?"
"Long story for the sand box boys, we are heading to grab some subway and then to the office you guys want a lift to the office on our way?"
"Sure if you don't mind could we join you at subway to get some lunch? Anything's better then the chow hall."
I opened the back door, "Trevor can you move up front between me and your mama?"
"Sure." He climbed over the seat looking excited to have more Marines in the truck with him.
"Thanks buddy."
We all got loaded into the truck and started on our way to get some food.
"Dad... um Edward who are they?" Trevor whispered softly from next to me so I only heard him.
"That is Sergeant Mark Woods and Lance Corporal Aric Smith." I pointed them out while saying their names. "And we will talk about what you said before your question when we get to the house ok?" Seeing the look on his face I added in, "its ok you're not in trouble. I didn't mind, but we do need to talk and then you need to talk with your mama" I wrapped my arm around his shoulder pulling him closer to me and then resting it on Bella's shoulder giving her a little squeeze.
I seen the questioning look in Bella's eye's to my words when Trevor looked back to the guys in the back seat I mouthed that I would tell her later. She smiled and nodded at me.
Lunch was funny to say the least. The guy had us laughing and was filling Trevor full of stories about me.
"There was this one time we all went out drinking to this new club that opened a ways away. When we left he was going….."
"Enough." I interrupted and gave a stern warning. There was no way they needed to be sharing with him that I was taking home women and stuff like that.
"Aright let's get to the office. Show these guys how much we work on our down time."
We all loaded up into the truck again and headed to the office. That was fun in and of it's self too. Everyone fawned over Lux, the guy's eye fucked Bella and Trevor got some more dirt on me, but all in all it seemed to be a good visit. Bella fit in good with the females around there for the most part and some of the guys with wives gave her their numbers so that she could speak with some of them for support while I was gone. And we set up a leaving party a few days before we left to get her a face to face with some of the wives.
"As fun as this has been I'm going to take my family by the house before we get on the road back to Myrtle Beach." Trevor shared a look with me and then smiled the biggest smile I have ever seen, Bella smiled slightly.
"Have a safe drive back, take care of this one and Bella just let Roxy know I told you to call and she will be more then willing to help you through this. We have a daughter about Trevor's age." John Harks our second in command told her warmly.
"Thanks. Once things calm down with all of this I will give her a call."
We loaded back up into the truck and headed over to the hospital to get Lux checked out. While waiting for our turn I got a phone call that I needed to take.
"I'm going to walk outside and take this. They shouldn't give you any problems now that she is registered. If you need me call me."
I walked outside the hospital to answer the phone.
"Hello!"
"Staff Sergeant Cullen, this is Major Evan's I'm sorry to bother you again, but I was just informed with you deploying in a few weeks that I need that paper work back today or she will not be covered while you are gone."
"Alright, thank you sir. I will get this taken care of. I should be seeing you in a few hours. We are waiting right now at the hospital."
"I'll give them a call and see if I can get them to hurry things along for you."
"That isn't necessary sir, but thank you."
"Ok Cullen, when you come in just have the clerk give me a call me and I'll come right up."
"Thank you sir."
Well fucking shit. I know what I'm going to do. I just hope this shit doesn't back fire on me. I called Jenks first and was informed that Victoria signed the paper work and he had it back in his possession, a judge rushed the paper work due to my deployment status and he had the adoption paper work ready to rush if Bella wanted to take that step. I was planning on asking her when we got back to the house, but I guess now is as good as any.
"Hello"
"Hey sweetie I need to run and get something taken care of real quick, I will be back before you guys get done. I'm so sorry you have to clean up my mess."
"Don't be sorry. You have no reason to be. Just hurry back."
"Ok sweetheart."
After getting off the phone with Bella I got into the truck and took off for the house. This wasn't how I planned this, but no matter the time frame I know this was something I would do. I stopped off at my house and got a few things and then headed back to the hospital.
"Hey sweetheart, sorry about that, have you been given any information at all as to the wait we have left?"
"I asked about 10 minutes ago and was told that we are next."
"I got to thinking while I was gone, Bella you work a crappy job that you hate and you have Trevor to fully take care of now and you are willing to help me with Lux. I know we only meet a week ago, but I think you are my soul mate. I want to take care of you guys; I want to provide for you guys. Trevor got me thinking as well. I want to be his dad. And I decided I want you to marry me." I started fingering the box in my pocket.
"Are you asking me?" She looked shocked, but smiled. Trevor was bouncing in his seat after me mentioning I wanted to be his dad.
"Yes" I replied calmly.
"Then ask me."
Standing up quickly I place Lux in Trevor's arm's pulled Bella up to stand in right in the middle of the waiting room and then I got down on one knee right there in the middle of everything, in the middle of the hospital waiting room and asked "Bella will you marry me?"
