Hello everyone !
Here is your update ! I don't think I have ever written such a long chapter. Ever. This chapter is over 6000 words without the author's note. I just want to let you know that all links to: Bella's Thanksgiving Outfit, Jaden's Thanksgiving Outfit, Jaden's Bouncer, Jaden's Travel Crib, Jaden's Car seat, and Jaden's stroller; will be on my profile. I had to go on my parents computer to upload this for you all. My Mozilla Firefox is being weird and not working. And my Internet Explorer is not allowing me to sign into Fanfiction.
Thank you for all the reviews ! See you next week !

His arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer to him. Somehow mine found the strength to move up his torso and wrap them around his neck. I moaned into the kiss and he smiled against my lips. His tongue plunged into my mouth, not asking permission, but hey! Who said I was complaining?
"This feels really good," I whispered after moaning again. By this point my legs were hooked up around his waist and my hand was on his head, pulling him closer. There was no air between us. No room for coherent thoughts. My mind was lost as I kissed Edward.
Edward chuckled at what I said and gently kissed me a few more times before pulling back to look at me. I was sitting on the railing, legs dangling down, and Edward's hand on my hip. The other hand was resting on my face. His eyes bore deep into mine as if trying to see what I was thinking. My arms remained around his neck but my left hand was running through his bronze hair.
"You're beautiful," Edward smiled at me and leaned in to kiss me again. I blushed and tried to hide my face, "No love, your blush is far too gorgeous to hide."
"That kiss was…" I trailed off.
"I know," he smiled and lifted me off the railing before giving me a slow kiss; definitely not as heated as the first. He whispered against my lips, "Bella, will you be my girlfriend?"
My head pulled back a bit as a default reaction. One of my hands went up to his face. I nodded slowly and the smile that I had been holding back exploded.
"Yes," I grinned and wrapped him in a hug.
"Thank you love," he smiled at me.
Suddenly the thunder cracked and the rain poured down.
"Shit! Let's get inside!" Edward wrapped an arm around my waist and we went back inside the house. We were lucky the veranda was covered so we stayed dry. Edward's arm stayed around me as we walked into the kitchen. Liz was checking the turkey in the oven and Kaleb was sitting in a high chair. We had arrived around 1:30 and it was almost 2:00 now. Edward's family should be arriving soon which means that I have to meet with more family.
"Hi guys," Liz smiled at us, "Did you have a nice tour of porch?" she smiled even bigger at the sight of Edward's arm around my waist. I smiled back at her and slightly nodded to the look of 'did me son ask you out yet?.
"Mom did I introduce you properly to Bella yet?" he smiled at his mom.
"I don't believe you have," she giggled and then looked at him expectantly.
"Bella this is my mother Elizabeth, mom this is Bella, my girlfriend," he grinned. I smiled when he referred to me as his girlfriend.
"Oh Edward! I'm so happy for you two! I knew you would get together, after all the things that Alice tells me about the two of you," Liz grinned and gave me a hug.
"Mom you need to stop gossiping with Alice, it's not going to do you any good," Edward shook his head at Liz while I giggled. Suddenly there was a loud clap of thunder that evidently made the lights flicker. Jaden's cries filled the kitchen.
"Jaden!" both Edward and I ran over to him at the same time. Edward got to his first and swept him up in his arms. He was cooing at Jaden as he held him. Jay's face was buried in Edward's neck as he cried. I stood in front of them rubbing Jaden's back. Edward let Liz know that the cheesecake I had made for dessert was in the fridge in the basement, she had filled up the fridge with so much food that there was no more room. She thanked me and we walked out into the living room so that Liz wouldn't have to dodge around us as she made the meal.
After about 10 minutes he stopped crying completely and fell asleep on Edward's shoulder. The door bell rang to signify the arrival of the first guests. Edward and I walked into the living room to see Liz welcoming two elder folks into the room. My only guess was that these were Edward's grandparents.
"Edward," the short grey haired women came over to us, "Who is this little one? The one from the hospital?"
"Yes, Nan, this is my girlfriend Bella and her son Jaden," he smiled at her as he gave her a hug.
"It's nice to meet you dear. You can just call me Nan," she smiled at me and gave me a hug. She whispered in my ear, "Don't worry dear. I know how you became pregnant, my Edward tells me everything. I won't judge you."
"Thank you," I smiled at her, feeling a weight lifted off my shoulders, "It's very nice to meet you too."
"Edward let me see this gorgeous little boy. He's so handsome, look at his little outfit," Nan pulled back and Edward handed her Jaden. She walked over to one of the chairs in the living room and sat down with him.
"Hello son," I noticed that Edward Sr. was now here. Edward had been telling me earlier that he had been called into work to help with a surgery.
"Hey dad," he shook his hand, "You remember Bella."
"Of course I do. It's very nice to see you again Bella. You look to be doing well now. I see that my mother has taken an interest to that son of yours," he smiled at me before giving my shoulders a squeeze, "Just as you have to my son."
I blushed and Edward chuckled. He led me over to the couch but on the way there I was introduced to Edward's grandfather which he called Papa. He was a very nice man. He had grey hair and blue eyes, much opposite of Edward and Edward Sr.
I sat on the couch between Nan and Edward. When Jay started to wake up Edward noticed he was fussy and grabbed a bottle from the diaper bag to go warm it up. He was such a good father, wait, father? What am I saying? No Bella, he's just your boyfriend. How do you even know he would want to be such a great dad? I didn't. He was just so natural when it came to caring for Jaden.
"Thank you Edward," I smiled at him when he got back and handed me the bottle.
"Anytime," he grinned and sat down beside me again. I cradled Jaden against me as he took the bottle. Luckily he was taking it and I didn't have to leave the room to breast feed.
When Jaden was halfway through his bottle the conversations that were floating around were interrupted by the door bell ringing again. This time it was Liz's brother, wife, & 3 kids. They came in and over to me to shake my hand. Edward took Jay from me as I talked to them.
"Hey Uncle Brian," Edward smiled at him.
"Why hello Edward; is that your child?" Brian asked curiously. This was the most awkward part. I didn't want to announce it that I had been raped about 1 ½ years ago.
"This is my girlfriend Bella's son Jaden," he smiled up at his uncle.
"Well it's very nice to meet you Bella, and Jaden," he smiled at me and shook my hand, "You can call me Brian. The rest of my family will be here in a moment. I'll be right back."
A couple minutes later he came back in following two tall ladies and two short boys. When the lady who I could only guess to be Brian's wife I gasped and stood up in recognition; she looked up at me and gasped also.
"Bella?" she whispered. I nodded my head while the tears formed in my eyes, "Bella," she ran towards me and pulled me into a hug. I wrapped my arms around her waist and started sobbing.
"Shh Bella, it's alright," she comforted me, "It wasn't your fault, I know what he did to you. When Chris wouldn't tell me where you went I asked Alice what happened. I knew if anybody knew why you left she would."
Here in front of me, hugging me, stood my ex boyfriends mother. I had met her only a week before he raped me. She was such a nice women. She told me that I could come to her for anything.
"I'm so sorry," I sobbed into her shoulder, "It's my fault, all my fault."
"No Bella, it wasn't your fault. After Alice told me what happened I went back to Chris and yelled at him. Then I reported my own son to the police. I was disgusted that he had the nerve to treat such a kind would with such disrespect. He spent four months in jail before getting out on bail. I don't know who bailed him out because it certainly wasn't me or his father. Then three months after that he was killed when he climbed on top of the roof of a burning building while he was at work."
I slowed my tears and looked down at Edward holding Jaden.
"Kathy?" I said almost in a whisper.
"Yes Bella?" she asked.
"Would you like to meet your grandson?"
Everyone gasped as soon as I said that; including both Edward and Kathy.
"What?" she gasped. I looked up at her so that she could see my eyes, that I was no lying. I noticed that there were tears in her eyes.
I sat down beside Edward and pulled Jaden into my arms, sitting him up so that his back was against my stomach. I spoke loudly so everyone could hear and I wouldn't have to repeat the story a million times.
"Shortly after I moved to Chicago I started getting sick. Pregnancy was the farthest thing from my mind but when I went in to get a blood test it showed that I was pregnant. I got a job as a massage therapist downtown and worked there until 8 months ago. It was around January I believe and I was driving to the coffee shop to meet up with Alice and Jasper when I got in a car accident. I spent four months in the hospital in a coma. Edward Sr. was the one that looked after me and Edward looked after Jaden. Then I spent another four months in the hospital after I woke up because I kept relapsing. Edward and I grew closer over the four months and now we're together."
Everyone looked back in shock.
"Bella may I hold him?" Kathy asked.
"Of course," I smiled at her. I pulled Jaden up so he was standing on my legs and Kathy picked him up.
She picked up Jaden in her arms and ran her hand over his hair, "What's his name?"
"Jaden Alexander Swan," I smiled at her. She sat down on the couch next to Nan and began talking to Jaden. I looked over at Edward who was pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Edward?" I asked quietly.
"Bella," he looked up at me a pained expression while reaching foreword to hold my hand, "Can we talk upstairs?"
"Sure," I nodded. I followed him up the stairs all the way to the third floor. He opened the door and pulled me to sit down on the bed.
"Are you ok Edward?" I asked quietly, rubbing circles in his hand.
"Chris King was your ex boyfriend?" he asked me. I nodded my head a slow yes and then started to cry, "Shh Bella," Edward pulled me into his arms, "Please don't cry. I hate it when you cry. It breaks my heart to see you cry. I'm just so mad," he let go of me and started pacing his room, "I can't believe my cousin, my own fucking cousin would do that to a girl. He was never like that growing up. At least from what I saw he wasn't. This just- I can't even find the words to explain how my I want to be the one who killed him. He broke your heart. He ruined your life. He-" I cut him off right there jumping off the bed.
"Edward Anthony Masen. If you for one think that Jaden in any which way or form ruined my life then clearly you don't understand me. Yes I was afraid, scared, and angry about what happened to me. But the first time I saw him on the ultrasound machine screen I knew that this is what was supposed to happen in my life. Since that moment there has not been one thought of hate towards my son, and if you can't respect that then you are not the man that I thought you were," I yelled at him.
"Bella," he whispered, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry my anger got the better of me. I just can't believe that Chris would do something like that to a girl like you. You are perfect. Gorgeous, amazing eyes, beautiful hair, and the sexiest body a man could dream of. Let me tell you something," he whispered in my ear, "I definitely do dream of that sexy body."
I blushed and buried my face into his neck. Could this man get any more perfect? I think not.
We made our way back downstairs and I saw that Brian was now holding Jaden. He was his grandpa after all. Their kids minus Chris were crowded around him, all wanting to see their nephew.
Kathy, Liz, and Nan were in the kitchen preparing the rest of the thanksgiving meal. When I went in to ask if I could help they kicked me out and said to go spend time with the rest of the family.
I sat down beside Edward on the couch who was talking to his dad. Jaden was playing on the floor with Edward's two younger cousins. I felt Jaden bump into my feet as he crawled over to me. He used my legs and pulled himself up.
"Look at you my baby, you're starting to stand," I exclaimed and pulled him into my arms. I kissed his cheek making the raspberry sound I knew he loved. Jay started to giggle when Brian started talking.
"Bella these are my other children. Have you met them yet?" Brian asked me.
"No sir I don't believe I have," I replied.
"Bella this is Tanya, she is 20, in her second year at NYU for fashion and design, Tanya this Bella," Brian introduced us. Tanya had bright blue eyes and long blonde hair. She frightened me a little from the look she was giving me. It was as if she would rip my head off at any moment.
"It's nice to meet you," I smiled at her.
"Likewise," she nodded in my direction with no smile on her face before disappearing into the kitchen.
"These two rascals are Kyle and Michael. Kyle is 10 and Michael is 7," the boys looked up at me and smiled. Kyle had brown hair like is father and blue eyes as did Michael. They looked all too much like Chris did.
"Hi Bella," Kyle said. He and Michael were sitting on the ground with Jaden and his toys before he had crawled over to me.
"Hi boys, are you keeping Jaden entertained?" I smiled back at them.
"Yeah, he's really cool," Michael grinned when I set Jaden back on the ground and he crawled over to them.
"Thank you," I smiled at them. They began giving Jaden blocks and he would try to put them in a tower but then they would fall and Jay would laugh and clap his little hands.
"Sorry about Tanya," Brian said as I watched the boys. I looked up at him, "She was really close to Chris."
I nodded in understanding and Edward wrapped an arm around my shoulders.
"Come and get it everyone," Esme called into the living room.
"Come here Jaden," I smiled at him and he crawled over to me. I smiled and swept him up into my arms, "Hey there buddy, you ready for supper?"
He smiled and launched his little arms around my neck.
"Da!" he exclaimed when he saw Edward. His little legs started squirming and he bounced in my arms. Edward chuckled and kissed his cheek.
"Ready?" he smiled at me.
"Yup," I grinned at him. We walked into the dinning room to see that the extremely large table with five seats on each side and one at each end of the table. All the food was in the middle and everyone was waiting for us to sit down. I tried putting Jaden in the highchair but he was being fussy so I kept him in my lap.
"Let's go around the table and say what we are thankful for at this point in our lives," Liz smiled.
"I'll start," Edward Sr. smiled, "I am thankful for my wonderful family, my job at the hospital, and my beautiful wife," Liz blushed at this.
Kyle, Michael, Tanya, Brian, Nan, and Papa all said what they were thankful for. Kathy was next.
"I am thankful for my family here today, Chris being in a better place, seeing Bella happy after all this time and what she's been through, and my beautiful new grandbaby Jaden," she smiled at me and I smiled back at her. I was so happy that she was taking this so well. It brought tears to my eyes. But what Edward said made the tears almost spill over.
"I am thankful for everyone here at this table and all my friends who are with their families today. Most of all I am thankful for my beautiful girlfriend Bella who somehow likes me back which I don't get because she is perfect in every which way and form and I don't deserve her. I am also thankful for her son Jaden without him I probably would have never met Bella."
I rested my hand on his knee and squeezed it. He smiled at me and bent down to kiss me quickly. Liz and Kathy awed while Tanya looked at us with disgust. Dinner started and the conversation flowed easily. Edward had a hand on my thigh during the whole meal. Jaden looked up at me as I started to eat my mashed potatoes.
"Hey Edward?" I looked up at Edward Sr. for the answer to my question.
"Yes Bella," he smiled at me.
"Would I be able to let Jaden has some mashed potatoes? He keeps eying them up as I eat them," I laughed.
"I don't see why not, he has some teeth correct?" I nodded, "Then I don't see why not."
I took the little spoon off the high chair and scooped up a little of my potatoes. I fed him the little bit of food and he gladly took it. Seeing that he wanted more I put him in the high chair next to me and put a scoop of potatoes in the little bowl. I set the little spoon in his bowl but since he had no idea how to use it, he opted for his hands.
Everyone chuckled at his doing. Soon enough there was more food on his face and in his hair than in his mouth.
Edward, Edward Sr., Brian, Papa, Kyle, and Michael cleaned off the table after since the girls cooked.
"I think someone needs a bath," I laughed, wiping most of the potatoes away from his face.
"Let's go give him one," he laughed and picked Jay up. We went upstairs to the bathroom in Edward's room. He started the bath and I went to go get his footy pajamas. I grabbed his pajamas and made my way back to the bathroom. When I got there I saw that Jay was now in the back and Edward was washing his hair. I noticed that Edward's shirt was all wet from Jaden's splashing.
"Looks like someone got splashed," I laughed. Edward smiled but rolled his eyes.
"Clearly," he chuckled. After all the cake was washed out of Jay's hair we let him play splashing the water for a few more minutes before drying him off. Edward went to go put on a dry shirt while I got Jay into a diaper and pajamas. They were blue footy pajamas with Eeyore on the front.
"Look at you so cute," I smiled at Jaden. He grinned back at me and I picked him up. We walked down the hall to Edward's bedroom and entered after Edward telling us it was ok to come in. I saw that Edward had now changed into a Hurley shirt instead of the dress shirt he was wearing.
"So what are we going to do now?" I asked. The clock next to Edward's bed told me that it was only 6:00.
"I was thinking that we could let Jaden play with his grandma and grandpa and uncles and aunt while we go watch a movie in the downstairs movie theater," he suggested.
"You have a movie theater?" I gasped.
"Yup," he grinned.
"Alright," I shrugged. We made our way downstairs where the family was in the living room.
"Yay now we can have dessert!" Michael exclaimed. Everyone laughed at him as we made our way into the kitchen to eat.
"Kathy? Would you like to spend some time with Jaden while Edward and I go watch a movie? It's alright if-" she cut me off.
"Bella nonsense, I would love to spend time with my grandson, we leave for Seattle tomorrow so I won't get much time with him," she smiled kindly at me.
"Thank you," I smiled back at her.
"Ok Jay, you get to stay up her with…" I wasn't sure what to call her.
"What do you want him to call you?" I looked up at her.
"Nanny," there were tears in her eyes as she said this.
"Jay you get to play with Nanny while Edward and I go watch a movie," I kissed his cheek.
"Bella, why don't you call Edward daddy?" Kathy asked me.
"I-I don't know. I don't know if Edward wants me to call him that. He would probably just look at me funny and dump me."
"Isabella! Edward would do no such thing. I know this for a fact. That man loves this little boy like he was his own son. Why don't you ask Edward about it when you too are alone downstairs? I'm 100 percent positive it would be alright with me. I think that it also might make him the happiest man alive," what Kathy said reassured me so much. I was grateful for her.
"Bella," Liz's voice filled the kitchen. I noticed that we Liz, Kathy, Jaden and I were the only ones in here still, "You don't see the changes in my son that Kathy or I see. Before you came along Edward was very anti social. He still is but he's getting better. All through high school he hung out with the same three people: Jasper, Emmett, and Rose. Not once did he ever try to make any new friends. He was so concentrated on his studies and becoming a doctor that he didn't let himself enjoy high school to the extent which I think he could have. Bella he didn't even go to his prom. Since you came along there is a new light in his eyes. His smile gets bigger then any smile I've seen him have when he talks about you and Jaden. When your fingers twitched at Jaden I was standing in that room. That was the most excited I have ever seen him. Bella you may not think that Edward really does like you I know for fact that my son is in love with you."
I stood there in shook trying to absorb this all. Edward loves me? Do I love him back? It was too soon to tell but I knew I was falling slowly.
I carried my plate of cheesecake into the living room. Once Edward saw me he led me down to the basement. We got to the bottom of the stairs and I realized that the long hallway had doors coming off of it, four doors on each side.
"What's through all these doors?" I looked up at Edward.
"Well," he gestured to the first doors on the right and left, "These are both spare bedrooms, the second on the left is a washroom and the second on the right is the laundry room. My mom has one of those laundry elevators so she doesn't have to being the clothes up and down. The third on the left has the pool table and the third on the right is a gym. The fourth on the left is the furnace, water heater, and electrical stuff. The fourth on the right is the movie theater," he opened the doors to each room as he showed me.
I gasped when I walked into the movie theater. There were recliners as theater seats, three rows of five, all inclining as you got farther back and a couch at the very back, a large projector and a shelf of movies.
"Edward this is amazing!" I exclaimed. I set down my food on the little table in front of the screen so I could look around. Edward did the same.
"I know. Emmett, Jasper, Rose and I had some fun times down here. We watched our first R rated movie here with surround sound when we were 11. I have never been so scared in my life. That is, until I didn't if you were going to recover from your coma or not," he looked down and away. I stood on my tippy toes, grabbed his face in my hands and planted my lips on his. His arms wrapped around my waist and mine around his neck. Evidently my legs wrapped around his waist. He started walking us back until we were lying on the couch.
I moaned as he tongue found its way into my mouth. I let his tongue fight for dominance with mine but always kept him in the lead. Eventually we broke apart panting. Edward's forehead rested on mine as we caught our breath.
"God your amazing," Edward continued to pant as he let he face fall in the crook of my neck.
"I think we should watch that movie now before we get too carried away," I smiled and turned my head to look at him.
"I don't want you to lose your virtue yet," Edward chuckled, "I haven't even taken you on a proper date yet."
"Then you better get to it," I smiled mischievously.
"Damn I like sensual Bella," Edward kissed my lips quickly before getting off of me. While he went to go find a movie to watch I sat in a recliner in the third row, enjoying my cheesecake.
A couple minutes later Edward came back frowning, "Why aren't we on the couch?"
I laughed at his reason for being upset.
"Edward we can cuddle closer on a recliner," this lit up his face and he grabbed his dessert before coming to sit with me. The recliner was so big that it fit Edward and me easily, "What movie did you pick?"
"Well I wasn't sure what kind of movies you like so I just went with a classic boy/girl movie," he grinned down at me.
"It's scary isn't it," I slumped my shoulders and looked up at him. I hate scary movies.
"Don't worry, I'll keep you safe," he set down our empty plates on the recliner next to use and wrapped his arms around me.
"You better," I grumbled. He chuckled and kissed my temple.
The opening credits for 'The Hills Have Eyes" came on.
"Edward Anthony, are you trying to kill me?" I gasped. This movie was my most feared movie out there. I nearly crapped my pants when Alice and I watched it a couple of years ago.
"No," he smiled and held me closer. I tightened my death grip around his waist as the first seen started. Every time one of the creepy people zombies grabbed someone my grip would tighten and I would burry my face in Edward's chest. Finally the end of the movie came. I was white as a ghost.
"You okay there love?" he asked slightly laughing at me.
"Let's just, got upstairs," my eyes were wide. I just wanted to go upstairs where I knew I was safe.
"I'm sorry for scaring you," Edward looked down.
"Edward it's ok, I had my big strong hero to protect me. Now I know why Alice always tells me that scary movies are better when she watches them with Jasper," I smiled up at him.
We decided it was time to head upstairs so Edward grabbed the plates and I turned off the projector.
Once upstairs, Edward went to go put the dishes in the dishwasher while I made my way into the living room. When I got there I saw that everyone was watching a football game on TV and Tanya was holding Jaden while they played with one of his hand held musical toys. I was happy to see that she wasn't going to take her anger out on Jaden also.
"Bella, what did you watch down there?" Edward Sr. chuckled. I guess my face was still white.
"The Hills Have Eyes," my eyes went wide again, "I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight."
Everyone minus Tanya started laughing, even Edward. He came up from behind me and dragged me over to the couch.
"Take it you don't like scary movies?" Brian asked.
"Not at all," I shook my head.
We all watched the football game. I didn't really follow who was playing. I was lost in my thoughts about asking Edward to be Jaden's father that Edward had to call my name a few times to snap me out.
"Ready to go to bed?" Edward asked.
"Yeah," I nodded. Edward pulled me up from the couch and I got Jaden from Kathy who was now holding him.
"Goodnight everyone," Edward and I called out as we made our way upstairs. Since Jaden was still awake I sat on the ground and played with him while Edward got changed. Edward did the same when I got changed into the Snoopy pajama pants and white tank top I had brought.
"Very cute," Edward smiled. I blushed and Edward held Jaden as he stood up, "You can sleep on the bed, and I'll take the couch."
"No Edward, this is your house, you take the bed I'll take the couch," I countered.
"Absolutley not, you are the guest, and my girlfriend, take the bed Bella, please don't argue," Edward kissed me.
"Fine," I grumbled, "But don't sleep on the couch, sleep in the bed, I'm not going to bite," I laughed. I leaned up and whispered in his ear, "Unless you want me to."
"I don't believe you should do that while your son is in the room," Edward kissed my cheek.
"It's time for the little man to go to sleep," I tapped Jay's nose. He grinned and started giggling, "It looks like someone isn't ready to go to bed yet," I took Jaden from Edward. He looked lost in thought.
"I have an idea," Edward smiled. He pulled me over to the black Baby Grand in the corner of his room.
"Bella when I first met you, when you woke up and I was getting to know you, I was over come with an emotion I couldn't explain. So I poured it out onto the piano," I had never seen him so nervous. It was like he was laying out his deepest and darkest secret for me.
"I would love to here it," I whispered.
The moment he started playing I was overcome with emotion. I cradled Jaden in my arms and his eyes began to close. The soothing melody had my eyes closing as well. When the music came to an end I opened my eyes to see Edward looking at me.
"Edward that was beautiful," I whispered.
"I really like you Bella," he whispered.
"I really like you too Edward," I whispered back. Suddenly his lips were on mine. It was a short passionate kiss considering the fact I was still holding Jaden. We pulled back and smiled at each other.
"He's asleep now," Edward said.
We were still on the piano bench but he had an arm around me, head on my shoulder, and a hand on Jaden's arm. I could right now and be happy forever.
"Edward, there has been something I wanted to ask you all day and you're mom and Kathy convinced me that I can ask you and not be worried about your answer," I whispered.
"What is it, love?" Edward asked in concern.
"Jaden only says Da when you are around. Alice pointed out to me that he is starting to think of you as his daddy. So, I wanted to make it official. Will you be Jaden's dad?" I looked up at him.
"Bella," he whispered, "Nothing would make me happier."
"Thank you," I smiled. The smile on my face didn't want to go away and apparently his didn't either. We stood up and layed Jaden down in the crib.
"Goodnight my sweet boy," I kissed his cheek, "I love you."
Edward leaned down and kissed his forehead, "Daddy loves you."
It brought tears to my eyes to see him say that. Edward looked up at me with the biggest smile I had ever seen, "Let's go to bed," he smiled and led me over.
Edwards arm was draped over my waist and our heads were on the same pillow.
"Goodnight Bella."
"Goodnight Edward."
I woke up in the morning to being in a new bed. A bed I had never slept in before. I woke up in a panic before remembering that I was at Edward's house. My arm flung to the side but nothing was there.
"Over here love," Edward chuckled. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. He was over by the travel crib changing Jay's diaper.
"What a good daddy you are," I laughed and went over to them, "Has he peed on you yet?"
Edward chuckled, "When he was a month old yes."
After Edward was done changing Jaden we headed downstairs for breakfast.
"Good morning guys!" Liz came over to us and gave us hugs.
After a very enjoyable breakfast of everything you could wish for it was time for us to get ready to go. Liz and I talked about the fact that when I headed back to work I would need to find a place for Jaden to go. I asked about her day care center and she was delighted.
By 11, both Edward and I had showered and it was time to head back to Chicago. While Edward was bringing our bags out to the car I was inside saying my last goodbyes to everyone. Kathy and her family were still here so I made sure that Jaden was with them before we left.
"Ok Bella," Edward said as he walked into the living room. I nodded and gave Kathy, Brian, Liz, and Edward Sr. hugs. Edward went over to say bye to his cousins. Kathy handed me Jaden and made me promise that I would come out to Seattle soon to visit.
"Bye everyone," Edward waved to them once we were in the car. It was a quiet ride back to Chicago. The comfortable silence that filled the car was peaceful. Edward held my hand the whole ride back in my lap.
"I'll see you tomorrow," I smiled at him once we had unloaded all mine and Jaden's belongings back at the apartment.
"Yes you will," he smiled.
One short kiss later he was walking down the hall to the elevator. There was one more wave as he entered the elevator and he was gone.
It was the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

How was that ? I hope you all liked it ! Let me know what you thought.
