Dear Miss Swan.

A/N: hmmm…some of you think Edward has every right to act the way he did, some think he overreacted. Let's see what he has to say today ;)

Chapter 53

"Edward?" a familiar voice breaks me out of my retrieve "You've been doing that for almost three hours now. I think it's clean" I hear her footsteps and soon feel her hands running up and down my back encouraging me to stop scrubbing this area of the floor.

"It still feels all dirty, Bella. Our baby is not going to sleep in this room."

"It's just a room Edward, and I'm certain you've got it clean now. Once we've decorated it'll be beautiful, just like you imagined"

"NO! Something as pure as out little baby is not going to spend his or her first years in a room that's been…tainted! It makes me feel sick, Bella"

"Okay…well we'll make another room the nursery and we'll avoid this one for the rest of our lives" she's trying to make me laugh with that last part, but I'm so fucking upset that I can't give our belly-bean the perfect room. And this room is perfect…was perfect.

"I really wanted this to be the nursery though"

"Why, baby? What's with this room?" she begins pressing kisses to my neck and it does comfort me some.

"I did a lot of research. The sun rises at the other side of the house so on the mornings, sleepy eyes won't get hurt. This room is far away from the living room that the T.V. won't wake the baby on the night, but close enough in that I can run the distance in exactly twenty two seconds. This little alcove here-" I get up from my position and walk towards the space "-is the perfect size for a crib, I've even measured it!"

I don't get to finish my lists of reasons, because Bella's kissing me. She's said on more than one occasion that when she hears me being all 'Fatherly' it turns her the fuck on.

We break apart after a few moments until frantic kissing turns into breathlessness.

"I think you should call your parents. Your Mom called again today"

"No thanks" I sigh, my arms dropping from around her waist. I don't want to talk about this.

"Edward it's been almost a week. You've ignored them all long enough; they know they've fucked up"

"Fucked up doesn't even begin to cover it. I can't believe they all acted like that! I've never been embarrassed of my family, but I was pretty damn close that night!"

"Edward it's not like we were out in public, it was just me" She's hugging me tighter, and I can't resist the urge to wrap my arms back around her.

"Exactly! If they can't even act normal for meeting the woman I love for the first time, then they clearly don't respect me or you! Or they just don't see how important that night was for us"

I huff, I'm still not talking to them!

A/N: hmm…thoughts?
