BPOV Present Day Seattle Friday
I had just finished helping a customer when my cell phone rang. It was Alice, I couldn't help but smile as we were becoming fast friends after she and Rose called me on Tuesday night. Rose and I had cried for five minutes, then we made plans for the family to come to EJ's soccer game on Saturday. That reminded me that I needed to call Edward and invite him to come.
I flipped open my phone to Alice's excited voice.
"Hi Bella"
"Hi Alice"
"So I was wondering, after EJ's soccer game if you would mind if Rose, the kids and I hung out for the day? I just found out that Emmett and Jasper have a gun show they want to go to and my parents have a dinner party with some friends in town, so we thought we could hang out with you until they were ready to go?"
"That sounds like fun, I am going to tell EJ today on the way home from school. I know he is going to want to meet his cousins to hang out. I just wish you lived closer"
"I know, but its 45 mins by plane and two hours by car. If nothing else, we Cullens are a close family we can make it work."
I smiled to myself, technically they were EJ's family, yet she was already including me. I wasn't sure how Edward was going to feel about that, let alone his soon to be bride.
"I wish we would have found you sooner, Jackson just had his birthday and I would have loved for you to come" she burbled. Her happiness and joy were infectious.
"I know, EJ's is coming up in December so your family will have to come. I haven't finalized plans but I know he mentioned he wants to have it at "The Jungle Adventure." Its this great big place that is like a huge McDonalds play place but the size of a grocery store."
"Oh Lord" she exclaimed "I can just see the boys climbing through there and getting stuck"
I giggled "They make the tubes pretty large so I don't think it will be a problem for a normal sized child"
"Not them! Emmett, Jasper and Edward" she laughed
A vision of Edward stuck in one of the tubes made me laugh pretty hard.
"How about we go out for lunch after the soccer game then head to my place to hang out, I can make dinner for everyone if the guys get back in time. I make a mean Coq au vin"
"How about I bring the wine to go with it" she asked and I could hear the smile in her voice.
I looked at my watch, it was time to go get EJ and my stomach knotted a little.
"Alice, I better go, EJ has a early day and I have to go pick him up. I am a little nervous,he is such a great kid but I am just not convinced he won't be angry with me" I trailed off as I pulled the thread on the sleeve of my sweater.
"Bella, you made a mistake, we all do. He is going to be so happy he has a Dad the reason he didn't in the past won't matter. Make sure you tell him his Auntie Alice can not wait to see him ok?" she assured me.
"Thanks Alice, your a sweetheart"
"Anytime kiddo, now go grab my nephew from school..I like saying that too 'my nephew'. Call me later and let me know how it went."
"Sure thing, and Alice..." I felt myself tear up.
"Yeah"
"Your acceptance means a lot to me" I trailed off and heard silence on the other end of the line. Then a sniffle "Oh Bella, who am I to judge besides, you have given me a nephew. Even if you did cheat with my brother/husband when I was pregnant" she broke off with a giggle and then "Bye!"
"Bye!" I said replacing the receiver.
Ugh, that elevator ride came back to me. How uncomfortable.
I called out to Angela letting her know that I had to go. She gave me a thumbs up and went back to work on the computer.
I walked the few blocks to the school yard my head and heart still spinning..
I remembered I needed to call Edward about the soccer game and to reconfirm dinner.
I slipped my cell phone out of my pocket and dialed.
"Bella?" I heard him say.
"Hey Edward, I was just on my way to grab EJ and have "the" talk and I remembered that he has a soccer game tomorrow and I thought you may want to come?"
"Absolutely, where and when?" he asked and I was glad he sounded excited.
"The Fields" on Eleventh street at nine o'clock."
"Ok got it, see you tonight at four?"
"Yeah, four"
"Do you need me to bring anything?"
"Nope I got it covered, I'll see you later"
"B?"
"Huh"
"Good luck with EJ"
Silence….
"thank you Edward" and I snapped the phone closed sliding it back into my pocket. OK I had to be honest with myself the thought of seeing him made my heart race a little.
As I went through the gate the bell rang and students started to spill from the classrooms.
I waited just inside the playground for a few minutes before I saw EJ and Tyler walking along deep in conversation.
When he saw me his eyes lit up. "Hey Mom! Can Tyler spend the night?"
"Hi Tyler, maybe next weekend ok? EJ and I had something come up this weekend but we are still on for the play date for Sunday at my house."
"OK" they both said before Tyler playfully punched EJ in the arm. "Hey, there is my mom, see ya tomorrow on the field"
"Ok, don't forget your 'Rabid Rabbits' game" he called out to Tyler's retreating form.
We started walking along and I knew it was now or never. "EJ there is something I need to talk to you about, do you want to walk with me to get an ice cream?"
"Sure" he grumbled. He knew that when I pulled out ice cream it was something serious, the last time being his goldfish dying.
"Its nothing bad" I reassured him. He searched my face and then nodded as if in acknowledgement. He was such a little man sometimes.
"You remember the other day when we were talking about grown ups making mistakes too and how I had made a big mistake that hurt a friend but he forgave me?" I asked and waited for him to nod.
"Well, the friend that I hurt was your father." I looked over and his eyes widened, his mouth flew open.
"You see, I didn't tell him about you so he didn't know. I saw him with someone making the mistake of thinking he had a wife and another child and that he had lied to me about being single." I said in a rush.
His little nose scrunched up. "So he doesn't have another family?" he asked in a serious voice. "No" I confirmed. "He found out about you and he was so very happy. He wants to meet you and spend time with you if that's ok?"
He was quiet as we walked along. "Mom, does this mean you guys are gonna get married?" his voice was so solemn.
"No, in fact your dad is getting married to someone else soon. Listen, EJ your dad Edward is going to come to dinner tonight to meet you. He is a very nice man and cares for you very much" I trailed off and wished he would lift his little head but instead he walked along with his head down watching the pavement as he walked.
We arrived at Cool Moon's and took a seat. I went over and placed our order. As I walked back to him, his little face showed that he was deep in concentration going over my revelation and my heart clutched a little at my stupidity.
Finally he spoke "Max's mom and dad are not together and he gets two Christmas's and two birthdays." He broke off and watched my face and I couldn't help but smile.
"He said his dad is marrying someone else, and his mom and dad are mad at each other all the time" he rushed out and tried to look unconcerned as he took a bite of his ice cream.
"EJ, your father and I are friends. We have agreed to always put your feelings and needs first. I am sorry that Max's parents are mad at each other, poor Max should not have to worry about that. If your father and I ever got mad at each other we would work it out because that's what is best for you. Besides, he has already forgiven me for not telling him about you. That shows you what a nice man he is." I nodded to him smiling.
"Oh and one more thing, your dad has a sister. Her name is Alice . That means you get and Aunt and Uncle in this deal. The coolest part is you have a cousin named Jackson who is almost the same age as you. Plus you now have two more Grandparents so that means Christmas and birthday's just got that much better"
"COOL!" he cut me off.
"They are all coming to your soccer game tomorrow to cheer you on" I finished.
His eyes got wide "You mean my dad will be coming to my game?" he whispered and then he smiled that little crooked smile and my heart leapt in my chest. 'So like his father' I thought for the thousandth time.
We sat and ate our ice cream as he questioned me about everything I knew about his father and I answered as best as I could. I told him about Rose and her family, explaining that even though we were not blood related they would also be his family too.
He polished off his ice cream in no time. "Mom, when we get back can I call Tyler? I can't wait to tell him that I have a dad too" he asked then got quiet. I could see the little wheel in his head spinning. "Are you sure he will like me?" he quietly murmured..
"Oh baby" I pulled him into a hug "He is going to LOVE you! You are the coolest, smartest, most wonderful kid in the whole wide world" I gave him a loud kiss on the cheek.
He wiped it off and whispered "Not when everyone can see!"
I giggled and nodded. "OK big boy, come on lets get back Angela will be missing us,"
When we arrived back at the store Angela had finished the internet orders and had began working on shelving some items in the back.
"EJ why don't you go watch some cartoons in the break room?" I called out as he disappeared into the store room.
"Well" Angela asked nodding toward the door EJ had just disappeared through.
"It went better than I expected. He was more happy that he is going to have two families to get presents from" I laughed and she joined in.
"Typical kid" Angela mumbled.
"Ange, I am going to run upstairs and start the roast and vegetables, I will be right back." I called over my shoulder heading toward the counter.
"OK" I heard her call back.
I rushed upstairs and threw the roast together and into the crock pot. I started the bread maker after putting all the ingredients into the machine. It was a heavy wheat bread that I thought would go well with the roast.
Once I checked on EJ I went back out to the store to help Angela.
We had a busy afternoon with more customers than usual. EJ coming out a few times to sit at the counter or to talk to customers. Some of my repeat customers knew him well.
Especially Mr. Pappas who lived down the street. Whenever he came in he would bring peppermints so he could sneak one to EJ. Which wasn't sneaking really as he would always wink at me as he passed the peppermint off to EJ's eager hand.
I rolled my eyes and pretended not to see the obvious pass off.
As it got closer and closer to four I started to fuss with my hair and reapplied my lipstick twice after chewing it off.
When Edward finally walked through the door looking like an Adonis in his casual jeans and tshirt I wanted to swallow my tongue. I smiled and realized I had forgot to breathe. He walked up and kissed my cheek. "How did it go?" he inquired near my ear.
"Really well" I couldn't help the stupid goofy grin..
"Come on" I said lifting up the pass way. "Ange, I am heading up now. Jessica has agreed to work late but if you need me just call ok?"
"Ok!" came floating from somewhere near the back.
Edward walked passed me his scent hitting me hard. 'YUMMY' I thought then gave myself a mental smack.
We walked to the door of the break room where EJ was wrapped up in a WII game.
Edward grabbed my arm to stop me from entering the room so that we could stand in the doorway watching our son so wrapped up in the game he was playing. He was giggling and shouting at the screen as he maneuvered the character. I looked at Edward and my heart leaped at the soft look in his eyes.
He looked at me and nodded.
"Hey EJ" I called.
His eyes never left the screen as he grumbled out "Yeah Mom"
"You have a visitor" I said, his head whipped over and he focused on Edward standing next to me.
My beautiful child was suddenly shy, the game long forgotten continuing to whiz and click on the screen.
Edward stepped forward, leaned down and extended his hand, "Hello EJ, My name is Edward and I guess I am your Dad" his voice bobbled.
EJ looked so nervous when he took Edwards hand.
"I am a little nervous" Edward admitted and then smiled. "I am afraid you won't like me"
EJ's eyes grew wide and then he smiled back before whispering "me too."
"Hey guys, dinner won't be ready for a little while. Do you guys want to play a few games before we eat?" I turned away to wipe the sudden tears in my eyes, I figured this may help break the ice.
"I would love to play, can you show me how?" Edward said walking over and setting next to EJ on the couch. EJ picked up the other controller and handed it to Edward.
"It's pretty easy once you know what to do" EJ said and launched into how to play the game.
I watched for a few minutes before I slowly snuck out and made my way upstairs to set the table and finish up the final preparations. Watching my son and his father together had made me so emotional. I stopped and leaned against the counter taking a deep breath to steady myself. I gave myself a mental prep talk and started pulling down the plates to set the table.
EPOV Friday
As EJ and I sat there playing his game I saw him taking quick glances at me out of the corner of his eye. I knew that he was checking me out in his little sly way. Suddenly he hit pause on the game, set down his controller and turned to me.
"What I am supposed to call you?" he asked looking me in the eye.
"What do you want to call me?" I knew in my heart what I wanted him to call me but I wanted him to be comfortable.
" I don't know, I told Tyler on the phone I have a Dad too. He was surprised and asked if you were my real dad or a step dad . I told him you were my real dad but you didn't know about me till now cause my mom made a mistake. Are you really not mad at her cause she feels really bad." he cocked his head to the side and then ran his fingers through his hair a carbon copy of my nervous habit. I had to smile as I could tell this really concerned him. "No little man, I am not mad at your mom, yes she made a mistake, but we all make mistakes and friends forgive each other" I put my hand on his shoulder and gave a little squeeze to reassure him.
He let out a deep sigh then looked me in the face again. "Sometimes dads leave. Max's dad and mom got mad at each other and now Max doesn't see him very much cause he is marrying someone else. Are you gonna leave too cause my mom says your getting married?" he said this so seriously that I felt like I had been punched in the stomach.
"EJ, you will find out that people will make promises to you all the time and then break them, but I am a man of my word. I give you my word that no matter what, no one and nothing will separate us. I will always be here for you as your dad even when you are mad at me or if I get upset with you. Even if your mom is mad at me or me at her, we will always work it out because we both love you very much. You are now the most important thing in my life, no matter what I always want to put you first." I wanted to hug him but knew that he was probably freaked out by my emotional babbling.
His face broke into a big smile. "Max said that he gets two sets of Christmas presents!" I had to laugh.
"Well I don't know about that but you will have a whole family on my side that will want to spoil you rotten. Just wait till you meet your Auntie Alice."
He picked up the controller and took the game off pause. I loved the big Cheshire cat grin that he had on his face.
I bumped his shoulder with mine "Oh, and wait till you meet your cousin Jackson, he is a Wii game wizard!" He paused the game again. "Do you think he will like me?" he asked looking concerned.
"Absolutely" I answered with a smile. "Cool!" he bounced up and down "I have always wanted a cousin, or a little brother but mom said not to ask Santa for a little brother cause someplace would have to freeze over or something." He scrunched up his nose and shrugged his shoulders. I laughed but a little pain hit my heart as I thought of Bella's little joke.
Suddenly I heard her calling from the door. "Hey you two, go wash up dinner's ready." then she turned and walked back into the storage room toward the spiral staircase.
"Hold on mom, I gotta shut off the game!" EJ called after her. I handed him my controller and watched as he turned off the gaming system then put the controllers away, tidying up the room before heading to the door. He looked back at me and called "You coming?"
I laughed and stood up. "I'm coming, what are we having for dinner anyway?"
"Mom made roast in the crock pot. I don't like the cooked carrots though but she makes me eat them. Sometimes I wish I had a dog so I could feed them to him under the table" He grumbled as he climbed the stairs.
I laughed out loud, secretly pleased as I didn't like cooked carrots either.
We entered the apartment and the most delicious smells hit me. Fresh bread? Heaven!
I followed EJ to the restroom where we both washed our hands, We had a little war over the water and soap each pushing the others hands out of the way.
Giggling he dried his hands and then handed me the towel. "Thanks" I laughed out.
"No problem" he shrugged.
As I sat at the little table in the kitchen nook across from EJ, Bella brought the dishes to the table when a sudden thought hit me 'this is what it would be like if we were a family' then I mentally smacked myself. Lauren and I could have this someday I reminded myself. (AN: GAG)
Bella sat down then stretched her hands out to both of us. EJ grabbed her hand then reached across the table for mine. I grabbed his hand and then grabbed Bella's offered hand. The same electric current I remembered hit me and I gently squeezed her hand. She lowered her head and said a blessing over the food and all too quickly dropped my hand. I felt the loss of warmth immediately and put on a fake smile before letting go of EJ's hand also.
EJ started to talk about his soccer game and who in my family was coming, which was now his family I reminded him. He asked lots of questions about his new grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Of course I included Emmett and Rose's family too. Emmett was like a brother to me and as I knew Rose and Bella were very close in the past.
Bella asked me about my work and how I liked Portland. The conversation flowed from there and before I knew it she was setting a slice of chocolate cake and a cup of coffee in front of me.
I paused to compliment her roast and winked at EJ when he looked at the plate she was removing from in front of me and the cooked carrots I had pushed to the side. OK So I was a bad example in this but I wanted him to know we had something else in common.
He huffed and I had to laugh.. I took a bite of cake and almost choked when EJ chimed out "Never forget dessert!" I thought back to the picnic at the pier and Bella sneaking in the oatmeal cranberry cookies. She must have been thinking the same thing as her face turned beat red.
"I agree completely little man, NEVER forget dessert" I whispered looking at his mother.
She quickly turned away and walked back to the island to pour herself a cup of coffee.
BPOV
'FUCK ME!' I thought. I knew he was teasing but damn, the memory of the chocolate dessert we shared in his kitchen hit me and I felt my panties get wet. I took my time getting my coffee before turning around and joining them back at the table.
"What Bella no dessert?" he smirked.
"No, I am on a diet" I smirked right back. "E, after dinner you need to practice." I reminded him.
"Aww mom, it Friday and he's here" EJ said pointing at me.
"Edward Anthony Masen Cullen" I said quietly giving him the mom look.
"I'm sorry" he mumbled looking at his lap.
"Is it ok if I come too?" Edward asked a little excited.
EJ's head shot up. "If you want to, do you know how to play the piano?"
"Yes" Edward answered with a smile.
"OK, may we be excused?" EJ called as he took his plate to the sink.
"Yeah, go ahead" I smiled.
EJ grabbed Edward's hand and pulled him to the spare room where our beat up old upright piano was.
I listened to EJ play his scales as I cleaned up the kitchen and loaded the dishwasher. I collected the dirty laundry from the hamper in the bathroom, his bedroom and took them into the little laundry area as he shifted into the piece he was practicing for his next recital. I sorted the laundry with a smile on my face then unloaded the dryer into a basket. I refilled the washer and dryer and picked up the basket of clean clothing taking it to the living room where I proceeded to fold the clothing as I listened for EJ and my closing song. He always played "Smile" by Nat King Cole when he was finished. He would sing out part of the song and leave out a word for me to call back to him. Sure enough I heard the song start and my son call out "SMILE THOUGH YOUR HEART IS" …and the music stopped. I called back "ACHING" and the music started. "SMILE EVEN THOUGH ITS…." I called out "BREAKING" on we went line by line. I could hear Edward's laugh, then his applause when we were finished. I walked to the door with the basket of clean clothes on my hip. Edward looked at me in the doorway and I did a little lopsided curtsy bow. EJ giggled and then pleaded with Edward to play something. I beat a hasty retreat to my room afraid of what my heart would do as I listened to him.
Suddenly my home was filled with the sounds of Edward playing. At first I didn't recognize the song then realized he was playing Jon McLaughlin's 'Already In' and my heart did a little jump. EJ's clapping woke me from my stupor and I realized I had frozen holding the laundry basket right inside my bedroom door. I set it on my bed and walked back to the doorway. Edward turned his head and looking me in the eyes, smiled. My knees felt weak and I wondered if he had been sending me a message or if he just liked the song. I snapped myself back to reality.
"EJ, teeth and bathtub" I instructed then turned to Edward. "Your welcome to wait in the living room till he's done, he has an hour after his bath, we usually read a book but you can do it tonight if you would like?" I offered.
"Sure, I would love too." He smiled and helped EJ down from the bench.
"Be right back" EJ called as he raced from the room the to me "Mom, I want my dinosaur skeleton pajamas ok?"
"OK!" I called back. I realized Edward had followed me from the room and stood in the EJ's bedroom door as I pulled out EJ's night things. He surveyed the room and complimented me on the mural I had paid a company to paint onto EJ's wall. It was a prehistoric scene with dinosaurs and lush vegetation. It was like stepping back in time with EJ's bed coming out of the trunk of a fake tree that had been molded into the scene. "Were you worried that he would be afraid to go to sleep?" Edward laughed.
"Nah, rather that he would want to stay up and play all night." I clicked off the light and the ceiling lit up with a night sky. "Cool!" Edward exclaimed.
I clicked the light back on. "Yeah, I thought so too, I am almost a little jealous that I don't get to sleep under the stars too" I confessed with a giggle.
"MOOOMMMM" I heard EJ calling from the other room.
"Excuse me" I said as I slipped past Edward and headed for the bathroom.
I helped EJ wash his hair, dry off and slip into his PJ's. I watched as he brushed his teeth and then ran to get his Harry Potter book.
He raced into the living room jumping up on the couch next to Edward holding the book out for him to read.
Edward smiled and took it, opening to where I had left the bookmark from the evening before.
I didn't know what to do with myself so I went to the kitchen and started a kettle on to boil for some herbal tea. I listened to Edward's velvet voice as he read to our son. EJ was nestled into Edward, his head on his chest and Edward's arm around EJ holding him close as they followed the adventures of Harry and his magical friends.
I made my cup of tea and sat at the counter just enjoying this moment. I was reminded that I didn't deserve this feeling of comfort and happiness. Edward's forgiveness and acceptance of my mistake made me love him even more. My heart squeezed as I realized that he would never be mine again. That although we shared a son, times like this where he would be in my home with EJ would be few and far between. Eventually EJ would be sleeping at Edward's place with Edward's new family and I would be here all alone. I had cut myself off from relationships with men because I didn't want to get hurt and EJ deserved all I could give him. Now that Edward was in his life, I was beginning to realize just how lonely I was going to be. Maybe I should put myself back out there and try again.
I was young and reasonably attractive if I didn't start putting myself into the game I could picture myself an old lady with thirty cats.
I looked at the clock and realized that it was EJ's bedtime. I cleared my throat and EJ whined "Just one more chapter mom?"
"Sorry baby, you have a soccer game tomorrow remember?" I hated having to say no.
"Your still coming right?" EJ asked Edward.
"Wouldn't miss it" Edward leaned forward setting the book on the table then scooped EJ up and threw him over his shoulder like he had me so many years ago in the park near his home. I smiled as EJ giggled, Edward tickling his side with his free hand carrying him to his room, where I pulled back the blankets on his bed. When Edward plopped EJ down he continued to tickle him as EJ cackled with laughter.
"OK, I better let you get some sleep" Edward straightened up. EJ jumped up and hugged Edward hard then lay down and pulled up the blankets. Edward stood frozen for a moment and I saw him swallow hard. "Night, little man" he whispered in a voice that creaked a little then turned and left the room. I sat on the side of the bed then leaned down and kissed his nose whispering "I love you baby."
"Momma, sing Dodo?" he pleaded.
"Ok, but then off to sleep ok?" I said with a firm smile.
He nodded and so I sang a French Lullaby my mother used to sing to me.
"Dodo, l'enfant do,
L'enfant dormira bien vite
Dodo, l'enfant do
L'enfant dormira bientô
Une poule blanche
Est là dans la grange
Qui va faire un petit coco
Pour l'enfant qui va fair' dodo ,
Dodo l'enfant do,
L'enfant dormira bien vite
Dodo, l'enfant do
L'enfant dormira bientô
Tout le monde est sage
Dans le voisinage
Il est l'heure d'aller dormir
Le sommeil va bientôt venir."
I sang softly until he turned to onto his side and I could hear his breathing even out as he drifted off to sleep.
When I walked into the kitchen Edward was standing there holding a cup of tea that he must have made for himself. "I hope you don't mind" he said holding up the cup.
"No, of course not" I smiled.
"That was beautiful" he whispered.
"What?" I asked confused.
"You singing a lullaby to him" he confessed eyes locked onto that damn cup.
I felt myself blush and started to protest then thought better of it. "My mother used to sing it to me when I was a child and its become a part of our nighttime routine." I explained.
"Listen, I better go I just wanted to give you a heads up that my fiance Lauren will be there at the game tomorrow. I hope that's ok?" he said quickly turning toward the sink to pour out his cup, then rinsed it setting it on the counter.
I turned away not wanting him to see my panic as again my heart squeezed and I felt like crying again. 'Buck up damn it' I told myself. "Of course, she will need to meet EJ and I guess the sooner the better" I pretended to straighten the pillows on the sofa.
"Yes, well I guess I will see you tomorrow, oh and Bella?" he said as he opened the door then turned back. "Yes" I said pretending that the couch pillow was so interesting that I couldn't take my eyes from it.
"Thank you..for everything, dinner and well…everything" he trailed off and then I heard the door close. I sank down on the sofa and burst into tears.
What a mess I had made, damn piper and his wanting to be paid and all.
Nothing I could do now except suck it up and move forward, yeah Monday I would talk to Ben and take him up on his offer to meet his friend from the office.
I stood up and went down the front stairs locking the door and then made my way around the apartment turning off lights. I didn't even bother to shower before I crawled into bed giving in and crying myself to sleep.
POOR BELLA..Damn Piper! Always wanting to get paid and crap!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Click that little button and review for me. Let me know what you liked and what you didn't. Pretty please with Edward on top!
