Chp.9

Two weeks later Edward was coming over to my house, I had been trying to avoid him at all costs. But he had been making an effort he was trying to talk to me to talk everything out. I invited him over so we could have a small dinner here and maybe even go threw the box of things that were supposed to be Anthony's.

I was dressed in some dark denim flared jeans, with a dark grey beaded top. I was cooking some baked Ziti. I already informed Edward that the door would be unlocked and he could just come in. I set the table.

Our dinner was good it actually wasn't awkward. We made our way into the living room and I had the box of items out on the table hoping he would be willing to go threw it with me.

"Do you think maybe we could look at this stuff." I asked him, we were both sitting on the couch in my den.

"I think I would love that." he said as I opened the box and the first thing I took out was a knitted white blanket with blue trim and a blue bow. My grandmother had knitted it just weeks before she died.

"My Gran made this before she passed away you known, she said if I ever had a son to give him this so that was the plan." I chocked out holding back the sobs just thinking of my Gran in heaven with my son. "But know she can watch him until I die." I said Edward hesitantly put his arm around me.

"It's okay Bella, we don't have to go through this we can put it back and we never have to talk about." He said as he attempted to sooth me.

"No Edward, I need to do this. You left before you knew about most of the things in the box you deserve to see these things. But if you don't want to look at them then I understand…" I trailed off. He didn't respond he just reached into the box and pulled out the next thing.

It was a light blue and chocolate brown striped top and light blue pants with brown trim with a hat that matched.

"I thought maybe we could bring him home from the hospital in this. Of course I was going to ask you first." I said to him.

He reached over and lifted my chin to meet his eyes. "Every time, you say something you seem so afraid to tell me what you were thinking at that time. I want to know what you were thinking, you make it like this is your fault when its not. If it is someone's fault it would be mine because I left you."

"No… Edward it wasn't you fault. I was carrying him I should have been more careful. I know I have said earlier that it was your fault but it is because I just felt that I needed to blame someone." I said with tears sliding down my face. Edward reached up and wiped away my tears.

" It's nobody's fault. Okay, there is a reason why it happened and we may never know but it happened. Nobody blames you, okay?" He said I nodded and pulled out the car seat cover.

"I wanted to use this on the car seat." I said as I tried to smile lightly. I pulled out four pictures.

"This is the last ultrasound picture you have it unless you got rid of it." I said.

"I still have it" He said as he pulled out his wallet in one of the card slots he pulled up a folded copy. "I have carried it since I got it." He said sweetly.

"Really? That's means so much. This picture is of how the room was decorated it was at an apartment close to the Seattle campus so that we could be near you I was renting it but never told you. And then we have a photo of the grave. I go there every Friday and on the day he died." I said softly. I tried to hide the fourth photo but I am sure Edward noticed.

"You had an apartment near campus?" Edward asked me. I nodded and not wanting to talk about it. "So can I see the fourth picture?" he asked me. I shook my head I was to embarrassed for him to see it.

"Just let me look at it." he said as he reached into the box and pulled it out. I didn't stop him I knew he would never give up. The photo in his hands was of me the day of the accident. I was wearing a pink top and I was looking down so much that my eyes looked like they were closed, at my swollen stomach my hands were clasped together above my belly.

"Bella this picture is amazing you look so stunning." he said with a smile. "Would it be alright if I went with you one day to his grave?"

"I think that would be great." I said. He said that he needed to get home because he heard there was going to be a storm and he wanted to be home with Marisol before it came. I followed him out to his car and he got and we talked at his window for a few minutes. Until the ran started pouring down I was headed back inside after thanking Edward for coming over. Edward leaned in as we were saying goodbye and kissed me.

We continued to kiss until I was soaked. "Edward.. We need stop. I am wet." I said as I pulled back.

"I am sure you are soaked for me ,baby." He said cockily. I blushed at my unintentional wording. "Bella I am going to stay and we are a going to make love." He commanded.

"What about Marisol?" I asked while he slammed his car door shut and picked me up I wrapped my legs around his waist.

"I'll call Esme and Carlisle and tell them that I can't come home the roads are to dangerous." He said and he laid me on my bed and then called them on his cell. I am sure Esme was smart enough to figure out that he could have gotten home if he wanted to but she didn't say anything.

He kissed my neck and lips. He slowly slid off my top and then he took his off. I was much to impatient to wait for him so I undid my jeans and quickly pulled them off then I began to work on his jeans too. He unhooked my bra and the slid my panties off…

It has been two weeks since that night and I guess you could say Edward and I were seeing each other. We had worked through losing our baby, we would both think about him from time to time and remember what could have been but we were moving on with our lives. We were going to go on a date last weekend but Edward got called in with a case. So we had to put it off until today. It was a Saturday and I didn't have a clue to what we were going to do but I knew we were going to Seattle so I could show Edward were our son was laid to rest.

Alice was extremely excited about our new found relationship claming she just could not wait until I was her sister. She helped me pick out my outfit for the date tonight. I was going to wear a white dress with lace at the top and accent on the waist with a gold ring , white and gold earrings, gold bangles, a gold heart shaped necklace with a pair of gold high heels with a bow on the front. I knew we were going to little Italian restaurant in Port Angeles. I was very excited because I knew the great relationship Edward and I once had and I knew how great of friends we are. So I was excited for the possibilities that could come with our relationship.

I straightened my hair and fixed up my make-up. I looked in my tall mirror before I went down stairs to make sure I looked okay. I was on the way down stairs as there was a knock on the door. I was nervous, I felt like a high school girl going out on her first date. I walked and answered the door. Edward was leaning against the doorframe ; looking very handsome. He was wearing a pair of black pants and a white button down holding out a bouquet of red roses.

"Hey, you didn't have to get me flowers." I said with a smile, as I let him.

"I know I didn't have to but I wanted too You look stunning by the way." He said as he handed me them. I gladly accepted them and went into the kitchen and found a vase for them. I went back into the living room and grabbed my jacket.

"Are you ready?" I asked him.

"Of course so." He said helping me into my jacket and grabbing my hand and leading me to the car, and opening my door. We made small talk on the way to the restaurant, holding my hand the entire way. When we arrived Edward opened my door for me and helped me out of the car. Inside he gave the hostess the information she needed. She sat us down at a booth toward the back of the restaurant I sat on one said Edward on the other.

"Hey, I am Lyla I will be your waitress this evening." The young girl said. "What can I get you to drink?" She asked as she looked up at the two of us. She was fairly pretty, she had brown eyes and dark hair with very blonde highlights in it.

"Oh, hi Edward." the waitress said. I wondered how they knew each other.

"Hey Lyla, I didn't know you were working here." He said to her.

"yes I have to do something to put food on the table for Lela and myself." she said.

"How is Lela, did the medicine work well?" He asked her. She must be a patient of his.

"Yes it did, she is back to her normal happy self. Thanks for that." She said.

"Anytime, I don't know if you have ever meet Bella, she works at the hospital as well." He said.

"I am sure I have seen you running around somewhere as much as I have been up there." She said and then she took our drink order

"She has a little girl, Lela she has had double ear infection on and off for about two months we are thinking we may need to put some tubes in. She is a single mother and she only seventeen I think." He said. I nodded. Lyla brought our drinks and took our order.

"So I think we should talk about Marisol." I said getting serious.

"What do you want to talk about?" He asked me.

"Well tell me about her mom and just tell me the whole story." I said as I leaned in closer to the table.

"Okay well Marisol's mom and I meet in a class at NYU the first month I was there. I excelled at the class while she had a bit of trouble. Our professor asked me if I could tutor her and I said okay so we begin hanging out for study session and after she was passing the class, we were still seeing each other. So we dated for awhile and I finally meet her parents my sophomore year on Easter. Karen and Tim, her parents, her mother was some famous designer and her father was a going to run for a senate office. But they weren't really stuck up, and I think they approved of me because Tanya was know for being a party girl. I brought her home to meet everyone over the summer when you were at Renee's; I asked Alice when you would be gone so that I would run into you because I couldn't handle that. I knew that Esme didn't like her but pretended to. Alice didn't like her either but tried to be nice because that is how Alice is. Rosalie didn't hide the fact that she didn't like her she basically told her.

Anyway, we dated from then until Marisol happened. Once I got my degree and was actually a doctor I thought I would propose soon. So, when I officially graduated from school for good she threw me a graduation party with her friends and none of mine. I had a ton of alcohol to celebrate I drank so much I couldn't remember my name and how I even got home. But three months later Tanya came to me and told me we were having a baby that we probably conceived her the evening of the party. I could believe it because of how drunk I was that I probably wasn't sure we had sex that night but she swore we did.

We prepared for the baby and we bought a townhouse and fixed it up and made it a home. Some friends and I prepared the nursery I painted it a mint green with a pooh theme because that was what Tanya wanted. It was Tanya's fifth month of pregnancy when she was told the pregnancy was high risk that was when I asked the family to spend some rotations here in New York, to keep and eye on her around eight and a half month. So Alice was with her that evening and when she went into labor. Alice called the entire family and she drove her to the hospital. I got there and she was just arriving since I was working at that hospital; I was with her the whole time. I cut the cord and they cleaned up my baby and handed her to me. As I was bringing her to Tanya her heart rate speed up and she lost to much blood and died. But she gave me my love. I had to name her myself I saw a name one day that meant sunny sea and that is what Marisol was to me sunny; so I named her that. Marisol Belle Cullen." he finished the meal had already came and we had finished eating too.

"Wow. That's really tragic. I love the name Marisol, I didn't know the meaning of it but it fits. And how did Belle come to be?" I asked with a smirk.

"Well there was this incredible girl Isabella I knew from Forks. And she changed my life so I thought why not name her after someone that changed my life because she might follow in Isabella's foot steps, I thought maybe she would change someone's life as well. Hey, you live in Forks too. I wonder if you know her?" He said.

"I think I have an idea. But if we are naming kids after people who changed our life are you saying I should name my future kid Eddie?" I asked him.

He laughed and shook his head, "Don't curse the boy." He said and leaned across the table and gave me a kiss.

We finished around eight and drove back to Forks. Edward wanted to go by the cemetery so I could show him our little boy's grave but it was so dark I figured it would be to hard to see. I promised him we would come another time.

"You…kiss…need…kiss…to…kiss…get…kiss…home." I said as Edward kissed his way up my neck.

"Why?" he asked when he reached my lips.

"Because, there is a girl at home who is waiting patiently on her father. And you have a 12 hour shift tomorrow with me." I said and kissed his lips, we were standing outside my house. I pushed his shoulders slightly. "Go." I said sternly.

"I am leaving. Thanks Bella I had a great time see you tomorrow." He said and kissed my lips again and then left.

I unlocked the door to my house and went up to my room laid out some pajamas and started a bath filled with bubbles. Grabbed my phone and hit speed dial number 3 -Alice put the phone on speakerphone and got in the bathtub.

"How was the date?" Alice screamed when she answered.

"Hey Alice, how are you doing today?" I asked trying to avoid the subject.

"skipping the greetings and formalities. Tell me Bella before I come over myself." she said.

"I don't know what to say, Ali. It was a nice date I had fun. We went to Port Angles to the Italian restaurant I love so much. We talked mostly about how Tanya and Marisol. Which by the way thanks for telling me about the middle name thing." I said and she laughed.

"I forgot to tell you but you discovered it yourself. I think it means he loves you I mean I wouldn't name my kids Belle if I didn't love you. So do you think you are going to keep dating or was this just a one time deal. Do you think you are going to get married? Any babies in the future?" Alice excitedly said.

"Alice I think you need to chill out, it was one date I don't know if we are going to keep going out or what. Why don't you just ask him since he is your brother and all. No I don't believe we are going to have any babies in the near future. We are just going to see how it goes." I told her.

"Okay well thanks for calling me. I am going to call Edward know and see how he thought it went." She said and quickly hung up.

I rolled my eyes and finished my bath. I got dressed for bed preparing my self for the work that was to come tomorrow. That was the first night I dreamt of Edward since high school.

EPOV-

I dropped her off and headed to Esme and Carlisle I really needed my own house. I sighed and went inside.

"Edward, how was the date?" My mother questioned.

"it went well" I said and kissed her goodnight and went to my part of the house.

I picked up my darling and gently tired to wake her. I knew I needed to feed her and bathe her before putting her to bed for the evening. I dug threw the drawers and found a brown with pink polka dot sleeper. I picked her barley awake form up and sat down with her in the rocking chair in her room. I gave her a warm bottle as soon as the nipple hit her lips she began to suck on the nipple. I just admired the gorgeous miracle I had a hand in creating. She was so beautiful, I don't think I will ever understand where the dark brown hair came from but the eyes were her mothers. When my angel finished the bottle I left her giving her a pat so she could burp. I bathed her in warm water which I don't believe she loved and then I put her in the sleeper and wrapped her in a blanket. I sat back down in the rocking chair and hummed her to sleep.

Alice texted me: How did it go?- A

I quickly typed back: It was good-E

She quickly responded with: Just good?-A

I rolled my eyes I should have known I was going to have to supply her with tons of details. So I appeased her: It was fun. I had fun, I think she had fun so yes it was good-E

Her message read: Yeah, she had fun-A

How do you know-E I was curios to know if she had just assumed this or if she had spoke to her.

I just got of the phone with her-A Score! For Edward! I thought to myself. Before I had time to respond I got another message from Alice. Are you going to ask her out again?-A

I think so. But I have Mar and all so I don't know she might not even want to go out with me.-E I typed fishing to see if Bella would want to go with me.

She wants to so you better ask her. And I can watch my niece. Ask her out for this Friday afternoon take her on a picnic or something romantic like that.-A

I smiled opting not to text back. I put my sweetheart in her crib and headed to my room and quickly took a shower. I sat down and opened my appointment book to see what children would be coming in for a check-up tomorrow but couldn't actually focus. I was thinking of Bella, it was crazy how this had been our first official date and I was already crazy about her. I smiled and quickly slipped my phone off my bedside table.

Thanks for the date I had a great evening hope you did too. I can't stop thinking about you. See you tomorrow Edward. XO-E

I debated about whether to add the can't stop thinking about you line but went for it. Man, I feel like someone experiencing his first crush. I let sleep over take me thinking about the early morning that was coming.

(Breakfast)

"Morning Edward." My father said we were the only two who were awake.

"Morning dad." I said. I grabbed myself a muffin and a glass of milk quickly downed my breakfast. I gave my dad a nod as he head to the garage.

I went up to Marisol's room and gently picked her up along with her blanket and the baby monitor. I carried her to my parents room and laid her in the basinets they had put in there room so that she could sleep near my mom. I kissed her head and then quietly left the room.

I quickly got ready for the day.

"Doctor Cullen, your first patient of the day is in room 217, here is the chart, Audrey and Austin Grey. Audrey is 4 years old coming in for her yearly check up and the brother is coming in for his bimonthly check-up. The doctor use to be Dr. Howard, a man who owned a private pediatric facility, so I don't know if they are just coming her for today or what?" my nurse asked me.

"I guess so are you going with me?" I asked her as we walked down the hallway toward the room.

"Of course so Dr. Cullen." She said flashing me a smile.

"Hello, Ms. Grey. I am Dr. Cullen and this is" I said pausing to smile at the sexy nurse beside me "Bella Swan she is my assisting nurse. I hear that you guys used to be a patient Dr. Howard. Are you still going to be with him?" I asked as I sat down in one of the spare chairs of the room.

"Please call me Elisabeth, we are looking to switch my husband just got a job in Forks so we are moving here and so we are looking for a pediatrician." She said. She was a rather attractive looking women. She had bobbed black hair, with piercing blue eyes, and was slim.

"I am a pediatrician, I would be happy to take them on as patients but I understand that you may prefer an actual pediatric office. Instead of a doctor at the pediatric ward of the hospital. I can recommend you to the pediatrician that my daughter goes to. It is your call." I politely told the lady.

"I believe my husband and I would rather talk out the details at a later time, maybe we can set aside some time to talk to you and your recommendation." She said and with that I began to check out the two children.

I commented on things I needed to remember and take notes on but I heard the clicking of computer keys and quickly turned my head to Bella. Who had out a small lap top; she looked up when she felt me staring at her she quickly flashed me a smile and then looked back down at the keyboard. I continued with the exam. Both of the kids were happy and healthy. Audrey was slightly under the recommended height and weight for her age group but I assured her mother that it was perfectly fine. I soothed her when I mentioned that my sister was exactly the same and that she was a healthy married women with two children. But other than that her motor skills, speech, and sight were all to par. Austin was right in the recommended height, weight group.

"Elisabeth, would you like to do the s-h-o-t-s today or would you rather wait until you have a for sure pediatrician." I asked as I spelled out the word shots knowing that they would likely freak out.

"I think we best just get them over with do you have the up to date record?" She asked me. I nodded and explained that the other office had sent them over to us.

"Bella, would you mind going and filing the charts while I go get the vaccines. Will you also, mark the ones we will be doing today?" I asked her flashing her the smile that I know she adored. She nodded and walked out.

"It will be just a moment." I told her and head toward the nurses station.,

I finished with the appointment and headed toward to the locker room. I grabbed the lunch my mother had made me and made my way to the cafeteria. I noticed Bella sitting at one of the tables with a disgusting hospital made lunch. She was sitting with a girl about our age she had auburn hair but I didn't recognize her.

"May I join you ladies?" I asked as I approached the table I noticed that the girl with auburn hair had a folder laid out on the table.

"Of course so! Edward this is Vanessa Jacob's fiancée." Bella said as the pair made room for me at the table. I extended my hand to the young lady.

"Congratulations on your engagement" I said. I kissed Bella's cheek and her face lit up with a radiating smile.

"Your coming right?" Vanessa asked me. Bella lightly blushed.

"Where?" I asked I hadn't exactly been paying attention to the conversation that they were having.

"The wedding. You are coming right with Bella she has to have a date!" Vanessa said as if I were stupid.

"I..uh..I..um I didn't know anything about." I said and looked at Bella.
