Chapter 11:

"Well dinner should be ready in just a few minutes. I'll have the kids start to clean up." Esme added as she started to walk back inside. Carlisle was pulling the hot dogs off the BBQ and Jasper and Alice was headed for the dining room.

"Um, Edward I wanted to talk to you real quick before dinner if that's ok." I figured this is the best time to ask him what he thought about telling Masen that he's his father. I really wanted to get the heavy conversations out of the way before dinner.

"Sure, what's up?"

"I wanted to know what your thoughts were of us telling Masen you are his Dad."

"Really? You would be ok with that? I mean I was really hoping you would be ok with it. It's really been killing me that I can't tell him how much I love him."

"Of course it's ok. Why wouldn't it be ok? You are his Dad and he deserves to know."

"Ok, yeah that's great when do you want to talk to him?" He sure did seem eager at that moment.

"Well, we could do it right now before dinner. That way we can tell him and he can spend dinner kind of thinking about it and processing it. He's never asked before so I'm not really sure how he's going to react. You might want to think about telling Emma too."

"Let's tell them together, right now. I think it's a great idea." He grabbed my hand and started to pull me into the house.

"Ok calm down Eager Beaver."

"Hey Masen, Emma could Edward and I talk to you guys for a minute in the living room before dinner?"

They both yelled sure and ran off to the living room. Esme just gave us a warm smile.

"We will try to make this quick Mom." Edward said to Esme as we followed the kids into the living room.

"You guys take your time. Dinner will be just fine waiting a few minutes."

The kids were bouncing around on the couch waiting for us. Edward sat next to Emma and I sat next to Masen. They really seemed to have fun playing with each other so hopefully they will be ok with this. They both looked at Edward and I. I had no idea what to do now. I guess it's now or never.

"So, Masen you know how it's been you and me and Jasper for so long."

"Yeah." He looked a little puzzled.

"And you know Jasper is your Uncle right, he's not your Dad."

"He's a great Uncle Momma. Is something going on with Uncle Jasper? Is he hurt like Papa." Oh boy, I'm not doing very good at this. Thankfully Edward took over for me.

"Uncle Jasper is just fine Masen. What your Mom is trying to say is that even though you have not had a Dad living with you, you do have one."

"Like how I have a Dad but no Mommy, Daddy?" Emma asked.

"That's right."

"Ok, so where's my Dad?" Masen was looking at me. Guess it's my turn again.

"Well actually Edward is your Dad sweetie." I could tell both Edward and I were holding our breath just waiting for whatever reaction the kids were going to give.

"Does that mean you're my mommy?" Emma asked me.

I looked to Edward who looked like he couldn't come up with anything to say. Guess we should have thought about this a little more before jumping into this.

"Um, there are different kinds of Mommy's Emma. There are Mommy's who carry babies in their tummy before they are ready to be born and there are Mommy's who didn't have a baby in their tummy but care for the baby just as much if not more. I have two Mommy's Emma. I have a Mommy who carried me in her tummy and she loved me very much, but I also have a Mommy who did not carry me in her tummy. Do you know who that Mommy is?"

"Uh huh."

"Your Grandma Esme is my Mommy who did not carry me in her tummy but she loves me even more than my other Mommy does." I could hear sniffling coming from the kitchen and I think we might have an audience.

"Oh, ok. Can you be my no-tummy Mommy Bella?" This little girl just dug herself an even bigger spot in my heart at that moment.

"Yeah Momma, you can be Emma's no-tummy Momma and Edward can be our Daddy."

I really was not sure how to answer these two. I would love to be Emma's no-tummy Momma as she called it, but I don't think we are there just yet. Looking up at Edward I was not so sure, maybe I'm the only one who's not there quite yet. He sure looks ok with it.

"Emma, it takes a long time for someone to be as special as a no-tummy Momma. It took your Grandma Esme and I while to get to where we are now. You and I just met each other. How about we get to know each other first? Then if you still want me I can be your no-tummy Momma, ok."

"Ok, but I don't think I'll change my mind."

"Are you ok Masen with me being your Dad?" Edward asked.

"Yeah, you seem nice and I like Emma and she seems to like you so it's ok. But why haven't you been my Daddy until now?"

"I didn't know about you. Your Mommy and I lost touch before you were born and I didn't know you were here. I'd really like to get to know you and spend some time with you if that would be ok with you?"

"Do you like to color?"

"Sure do."

"Ok, than you can be my Daddy."

"Thanks little man. How about we go get some dinner now."

The kids ran off to the kitchen where sure enough everyone was standing in the doorway watching us.

"Um, how do you think we did?" I had to ask.

"I think considering everything we did pretty darn good. Are you ok with what Emma was asking of you?"

"Yep. She's a sweetheart and I'd love to get to know her better. I just wasn't sure what to say. I mean, you've never said if she knew about her mom or not."

"I guess I never brought it up so I wasn't sure what to say at that moment. I think you did great though. I really like the idea that someday we could be a family of our own." I started to say something, but Edward stopped me.

"I know Bella. This is all happening so fast and I know we have a long road ahead of us. We don't even have just ourselves to think about. We have to think about what's best for Emma and Masen. It seems you and I alone are not very good about figuring out what's best for someone else, so I'd like to suggest we try to figure out what's best for them together. I know we might have a little ways to go yet, but I'm serious when I tell you I love you and I'm not letting you or Masen go this time."

With his little speech I became very determined in what I was going to say next.

"I was just going to say Edward that I would really like it if someday we could be a family of our own. I don't know why you think we have a long road ahead of us before we get there. Frankly I've waiting 4 years to find my home and I've got to tell you Edward. You and now Emma are my home."

With that he engulfed me in a hug and started to kiss me passionately. Showing me just how much he truly did love me and wanted me in his life. We were both left breathless just staring into each other's eyes.

He helped me off the couch and started to lead me to the kitchen. Where our big, crazy, ever growing family was waiting for us.

"Come on no-tummy Mommy, you've got a Cullen Family Dinner to attend."

The End.
