Chapter 25

"Forever," he agreed.

I woke up in the morning confused again. I was in my pajamas and I was alone. Don't tell me I was dreaming again! I rubbed my eyes and rolled onto my back with a sigh. I brought my hands down to my sides frustrated and looked to my left. My head jerked up a bit when I saw a note on the pillow next to me.

I propped myself up on my elbows and hesitantly reached over for the note. It was a sticky note. I sat up and smiled at what it said:

It wasn't a dream. I'll be back in the morning to see you I promise.

Yours Always,

Edward Cullen

It was hard to believe that we hadn't seen each other in two years. I bit my lip to stop the grin from spreading across my face. I lifted the covers off of me and got up to get dressed. I placed the sticky note on the mirror and quickly dressed into a pair of nice fitting jeans and a baby blue long sleeve top with a pocket in the front.

I fluffed my hair a bit and decided to leave my hair in small waves instead of straightening it out. I walked out of my room and quickly went downstairs to find Dean watching TV already.

"If you keep watching TV every morning your brains going to melt," I told him with a small smile as I started walking to the kitchen.

"Nah ah," he replied back with a small quiver in his voice. I looked over to see a hint of fear in his eyes. I couldn't help but laugh.

I poured myself some breakfast, "Are you hungry?" I asked him.

"I already ate cereal," he responded back as he reluctantly looked at the TV screen.

I chuckled lightly as I took a spoonful in my mouth. I swallowed it down before I pointed my spoon at him, "I was just kidding," I told him with a small chuckle.

He looked at me unsure. I scooted my chair back a bit and opened my arms for him, "Come here baby."

He slowly wobbled over to me and crawled up on my lap. I wrapped my arms around him and gently ran my fingers through his hair, "Just don't stand too close to the TV or you'll need glasses okay?" I told him.

"Can I watch it from here?" he asked in a small voice.

I gently kissed the top of his head, "Of course," I moved my arm around and finished eating my cereal. I had just finished putting the last bite in my mouth when the there was a knock at the door.

"I'll get it!" Dean yelled although he was sitting on my lap. He jumped off my lap and went to answer the door. I got up and took my plate to the sink.

I finished swallowing and turned around to have a pair of lips meet mine. I froze over confused. They pulled away to a reveal a confused Edward. "What's wrong?" he asked confused.

"I was just surprised that's all. I didn't even get to see the guy that was kissing me so hey can you blame me?"

He smiled down at me because of my little rant, "You just ate breakfast didn't you?"

"Yeah…how'd you know?" I asked confused.

"I can taste the milk," he said with a grin before he leaned down and gently brushed his lips over mine.

"Are you cheating on Karen?" we pulled away from each other surprised and looked down at a slightly mad Dean.

"He knows what cheating is?" Edward whispered to me.

"Yeah like I told you before he's pretty advanced for his age," I whispered back. I pulled away from Edward's arms and bent down in front of Dean, "Why are you mad?" I asked confused as I brushed some hair away from his eyes.

He had his arms crossed over his chest and was glaring up at Edward, "All your going to do is hurt mama," he told him in an angry tone.

I looked up at Edward to see him looking at me with a clueless look on his face. He didn't know what to say to the little guy. I looked back at Dean and gently placed my hands on his little hips, "Dean. Look at me," I told him.

He glanced at me before glaring back up at Edward, "Dean," I warned. He looked at me and his expression softened. I smiled at him lightly, "He's not gonna hurt me baby."

"Yes he is," he told me.

I shook my head, "No he's not."

He pouted a bit, "But he hurt you before," he said in a sad voice.

I pursed my lips as I thought of a way to tell him that the past was behind us already. I bit my lip and looked at him as an idea came to me. "Remember The Lion King?" I asked him.

He looked into my eyes and nodded slightly, "What does Timon tell Simba to do when he first meets them?" I asked.

"You mean when they're talking about his daddy?" he asked.

"Yes."

"You've got to put your past behind you," he told me in a small voice.

"Exactly," I pulled him towards me and gently touched the tip of his nose, "You think you can do that?" I asked him.

"Yes," he said with a sigh. He looked up at Edward, "Sorry I was mad at you."

"Its okay buddy," he bent down like me and gently ruffled his hair.

Dean giggled before he looked back at me, "Can I watch The Lion King mama?"

"Sure," I told him as I fixed the mess of his hair Edward had made him.

He ran over to the living room and popped the movie in. I stood up and sighed, "You know having a smart kid isn't all that easy sometimes," I told Edward.

He wrapped his arms around me from behind me and rested his head on my chin, "The Lion King ha?" he asked with amusement in his voice.

I smiled lightly, "That was the only thing I could think of that would make him understand." I turned around in his arms and clasped my hands together behind his back, "Are you going to tell him you broke up with Karen?" I asked.

"Yes...I don't want him to get mad at me every time I kiss you," he told me before he leaned down and kissed my forehead.

I smiled, "He won't get mad anymore. He's just…very protective over me," I told him.

He smiled, "Just like me."

I rolled my eyes playfully and reached up to kiss his lips. He leaned down and met my lips halfway. I unclasped my hands and wrapped my arms around his neck. He tightened his arms around my waist as he pulled me closer to him. I smiled against his lips, "I liked your note," I told him as I pulled away a few centimeters from his lips.

He grinned, "Well I didn't want you thinking you were dreaming again."

I pulled away and smacked him playfully, "I didn't think that," I lied.

He chuckled lightly, "Thank god I left the note. I can tell your lying through your teeth."

I puffed out some air in defeat, "Whatever."

"Mama?" Dean called from the living room.

I pulled away from Edward and started walking towards the couch, "What's up?" I asked him as I leaned on the back of the couch behind him.

He looked at me then back at the screen before looking back at me, "Is that what happened to my daddy?" he asked.

I looked at him confused and then looked back at the screen, "What?" I asked.

"Did daddy die?" he asked.

I looked back at the screen to see Simba calling for help with tears in his eyes. I sighed before I straightened out and walked around the couch. I sat down next to him and lifted him up on my lap, "Don't you think I would have told you of your dad died?"

He looked at me unsure, "I don't know."

His expression broke my heart. He was sad. I hated to see him like this, "He's not dead," I glanced up at Edward, "Trust me."

Edward smiled at me lightly making me return a small smile in return. I looked back at Dean to find a big smile on his face. I looked at him confused. He jumped off my lap all of a sudden and jumped behind me. I quickly turned around to see him jump in Edward's arms.

"I knew it!" Dean said happily. "You're my daddy!" Dean told Edward with a huge grin on his face.

A/N: Review Please! Might be a while til I put the next one up…I'm kind have one of those stupid writers block but there will be more I promise!
