DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT!

Alice didn't stay long after that. I put Chloe to bed and completed my homework. Tomorrow was going to be eventful. I couldn't runaway like I did today. I had to face Edward head on. I couldn't help but wonder what his reaction would be. Alice told me he only knew that he had a child. She was just going to confirm it and say nothing else. Rosalie probably told him it was a girl anyways.

When I told Sophia the night's events, she was shocked. She didn't know Rosalie could be such a bitch. She was happy that I had Alice as a friend again and that I would tell Edward about Chloe. I decided to call it a night and went to bed. Sophia wished me luck. I was going to need it.

I woke up the next morning feeling like crap. I couldn't fall asleep just thinking about today. The shower woke me up and I dressed in a green, plaid tunic with gray legging. I wore green flats and put on some make up to hide the dark circles under my eyes. I straightened my hair and put a beret on. I decided to eat some cereal, but ended up throwing the remains away. I didn't have much of an appetite. Grabbing my purse and textbooks, I made my way over to NYU.

My first class gave me an awful reminder that I had to still work with Rosalie in order to pass this class. The rest of my classes gave me homework that wasn't assigned until next week. My prayers were answered. It was time for lunch, so I made my way over to the Café and this time I was starving. I bought a personal pan pizza with soda and breadsticks. Lack of breakfast does this to you.

It wasn't long before the infamous Cullens arrived. Alice was surprisingly wearing an outfit I would wear. She had an ACDC shirt on and purple skinny jeans with pink flats. I reluctantly looked at Rosalie to find that she was wearing an off the shoulder top with white skinny jeans. That girl never leaves the house without her heels. Alice caught my eye and smiled.

I smiled back and continued to eat. In the corner of my eye, I saw Alice skipping toward my table with Edward right behind her. He looked extremely nervous and fidgety.

"Hey Bells," Alice sang. I looked up and motioned for her and Edward to sit down and they did.

"Hey Al," I sang back.

"Well, I just came over because Edward refused to come here alone because he was scared or something, but I thought that completely ridiculous so I just gave in and brought him to you, so you guys could talk. And I am going to go now. BYE!" Alice raced back toward Jasper. It was so like Alice to just come out and say it. I sighed and hesitantly looked at Edward. He was just laughing at the way Alice had left.

"Hey Edward," I whispered. He snapped his head towards me and looked at me.

"Hey," he said back. He seemed kind of nervous so I smiled at him. He visibly relaxed and jumped into the chair that was in front of me.

"So I'm a father?" He asked. He seemed happy at the prospect.

"Yes. A father to a beautiful baby girl named Chloe Marybelle Swan," I said her name like a proud a parent.

"That's a beautiful name," He smiled back. He shifted in his seat and looked hesitant to say something.

"D-do you think I could see her today?" He asked quietly. I could here the longing in his question.

"You are her father. You have a right to." It was true. I wouldn't deprive him of that. Somehow he looked unhappy with that statement and the tone of my voice. Before he said something, I wrote down my address gave it to him and was out the door. I was going to be late for work.

Work thankfully was uneventful. I did the same thing and was starting to get into a routine. I was thinking about walking slowly to my apartment but Sophia had class, so I picked up the pace. I walked in and Sophia walked out with barely a hello and goodbye. She was all jittery for some reason. I shrugged the though off. I heard a cry from Chloe's room and made my way over there.

I picked her up and changed her diaper. I put her in a light pick shirt with some hot pink pants. I thought she was adorable. She was playing with my dark brown locks.

"You ready to see daddy?" I asked her. She just tilted her head to the side. She had a pacifier in her mouth and a pink bow in her hair. Her hair was naturally straight. And unlike Edward's, was tamable. We sat in the living room and watched TV.

A few moments later I heard a knocking at the door and I stood up to open it. Edward was leaning against the doorframe.

"Hey," he said and looked down at Chloe. There was nothing but love and adoration in his eyes.

"You want to hold her?" I asked him. His eyes lit up at the question. He eagerly nodded yes and I handed her over. I walked over to the couch and he followed closing the door behind him. He sat across from me with Chloe still in his arms. She had relaxed into him and was waving her little arms in the sky.

"She looks just like you," I said. He beamed at this and continued to look at our daughter. Our daughter my mind kept playing the words as if it were a sweet melody.

"I'm sorry," I started to talk. I felt like I need to get this out. "I mean, for keeping her away from you. I didn't know you would react like this. From what I have seen, your personality didn't go well with me and I thought you would refuse her."

"I only flirted with those girls to get a reaction from you. I was obsessed with you. I knew I couldn't have you because Rosalie and Alice, but I wanted to know if you wanted me. I gave you the wrong impression. And that's my fault," Edward ranted. I was shocked from this newfound information.

I stayed quiet because I didn't know what to say.

"Who takes care of her while you're at school?" He asked.

"Sophia," I replied. He seemed to know who she was. It wasn't long before Chloe was fast asleep. He followed me to her bedroom and set her in her crib. He kissed the top of her head. It was so sweet.

I turned off the lights and closed the door. I walked into the kitchen and I was very aware of Edward following me.

"Bella, how do you feel about me?" he asked very quickly. I was glad that my back was turned away from him because my eyes were literally popping out of my head. How did I feel about him? I liked him, but I didn't love him. No, I wasn't in that deep. But he what if he was. I laughed at that. Why would someone like him want someone like me? It was ridiculous to even think that way.

"How do you feel about me?" I asked him. I spun around to face him. I wanted to know how he felt first.

He made his way over to me. I thought he was going to answer me but instead he kissed me. At first it was gentle and passionate. He ran his tongue over my lower lip begging for entrance. I was aware that my legs had wrapped around his waste and he was holding me up against the refrigerator. We kissed until we both needed air to breathe. I let my legs slip from the hold they had on his legs and I watched ad he stumbled back against the island gasping for oxygen.

"I take it that you like me," I said to break the silence. He chuckled. He pressed his lips to mine one more time.

"Very," he whispered.

"So what does this make us?" I was dying to know. He thought for a second and then smirked.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" Being me I blushed and nodded my head yes. He kissed me again. I heard the front door open and close and jumped away from Edward. Sophia walked into the kitchen and her eyes went wide.

"Well, um- I'm just going to leave now… yea so – bye," she stammered. I smiled and Edward chuckled. At the end of the night Edward and I said goodnight to each other and went our separate ways. Meaning him to his house and me to my bed.

I was slept with a big smile on my face.
