Sorry for the late chapter. It took me forever to write this. I just kept on getting distracted and didn't see how late it was getting.
Chapter 17
Edward POV March
You know what I hate? I hate filling out charts. Like why doesn't a computer do all this already. I'm more then ready to never be a intern ever again. I get stuck doing all the grunt work like filling out these stupid charts. I knew I was just being crabby. I have been working long hours on top of studying for a exams and if I pass this test I will finally be a resident.
But since I have been working and studying, I haven't seen Bella and Oliver in 5 days. My condo is right by the hospital just walking distance really. I would definitely walk every day if this rain ever stoped. I have hated staying at my condo. It's cold and lonely, plus I sleep terribly without Bella.
5 days is honestly the longest I've been apart from Bella and Ollie since me and Bells started dating and I'm probably miserable to be around at this point. I've lost my temper with a few co-workers and I feel bad but at that moment I just couldn't take it anymore.
My parents had invited me and Bella and Oliver over for dinner tonight and I called Bella to ask but since Ollie was still getting over being sick she said they would stay home and to go have dinner with my parents and asked me to apologize on their behalf on declining the invite. Which means this will be another day I won't see my Bella. Great.
I gave a thankful sigh when I was in the safety of my car. I had given so many kids flu shots today and I felt gross. All these parents wait till their kid is sick with the flu to come and get their flu shot. Like that kinda defeats the purpose, right?
When I pulled into my parents driveway, I grabbed my cell to call Bella before it was too late.
Hello.
I sighed when I heard her voice, already feeling so much better.
Hi baby.
You sound tried my love.
I am. I can't sleep without you.
Same here. We miss you.
I miss you too, so much. I take my test tomorrow then I'm off for two day.
So you will be home tomorrow night.
Yes dear.
Her sweet laughter filled my ear and I closed my eyes trying to imagine she was right in front of me.
How's my Ollie?
He's good. He has already passed out. He went to the doctors and have to get blood drawn and it wore him out.
Poor baby. Give him my love. I wish I was there to be with him.
He knows daddy. Don't worry. Now go eat and spend time with your parents.
Thanks Bella. I love you sweetheart.
Love you too baby. Goodnight.
Night.
I held the phone to my chest for a moment with a small smile. I felt much better. The only thing that would have been better was to hear my sons voice too.
My son. I had a son. I did not care he was not my blood. He will always be my son. No matter what happens between me and Bella I was always be there for Oliver. He chose me so I will always choose him.

I knocked on my parents door once before opening it up and was hit with the delicious smell of my Nonna's eggplant Parmesan. I didn't know Nonna was in town. I really hoped that didn't mean she brought papa with her, I was not in the mood to deal with that dickwad.
"Edward, mio caro" my Nonna's thick Italian accent called out to me. She waddled over to me and pinched my cheeks. "sei così piccolo, ragazzo mio" she clicked her tongue at me and handed me a huge plate of egg parm. My Nonna and Papa left Italy when they got married and raised their family in New York but moved back and lived in Italy my whole life. We spent a lot of Christmas at their flat in Florence.
My Nonna Elizabeth has always been nice but my Papa Aro he was another story. You see. My mom has a older brother Felix who is the first born and then there is my Mom Esme, she was born later in their life and was the baby of the family. Felix was 17 when mom was born.
And then there was Mary Alice who was second born and sadly was at the wrong place at the wrong time and got shot and killed. She was only 15 and Aro took it really hard. And my mom who was only 3 at the time became my papa's obsession.
He never wanted mom to leave his sight and when she did, he would lose it. He was scared that he would lose her too and he just couldn't handle that thought. So when my mom was 18 and Carlisle came along Aro tried everything to keep them apart. So my mom and dad ran off to Seattle and got married.
My mom kept in touch with my Nonna because she didn't deserve to be punished for her husband's actions. 3 years later I came into play and My Nonna came to visit and help my mom take care of me since my dad was doing his residency so he was never home.
My Nonna came down on each birthday and almost every holiday and we grew very close, she was my best friend. When I was 4 and Alice was born and Nonna came down my papa followed her this time and apologized to my mother for his actions and told her he has been going to therapy since she left so he could be better for her and he had been back in our lives since.
Aro has never liked me or my father. He never said much and when he did it was short and rude. He loved my mother and Alice was the apple of his eye but Alice has always kept her distance from the guy.
When I entered the dining room my green eyes met with the matching pair but his were lifeless and sad. I took a deep breath and stuck my hand out to him. "Hello, papa. How are you?" He looked at my hand and his eyebrows twitched before he lightly grabbed my hand and shook it.
"Edward, just fine" his voice was deep with a rich accent and sounded very annoyed. I just shook my head and let out of his hand and took a set next to my dad who was nursing a whiskey. "Hey dad" he looked up at me and his eyes lit up. "Edward, son. Nice to see you. No Bella and Oliver" I shot a quick glance to Aro who was pushing his food around on his plate but his eyebrows were raised.
I wasn't sure how much I wanted to say about Bella and Ollie in front on my Papa because he would say something dirty about them and I don't think I could handle that. I knew he must know of them the way my mom talks with Nonna. But I did not want to hear his opinion on my love life.
"No, not tonight. Oliver is still getting over from being sick and Bella is worried about having him out yet" he nodded, I knew he was worried about Oliver since he was so sick. We were all still a little on edge. "I can understand that. This is his first time getting sick like that. I remember when you got sick. It always scared me to my core" I nodded truly understanding what he means now. "I get that. I don't know what I would do if something happened to Ollie"
After I finished my food we met the girls in the living room who were wrapped up in the wedding planning. "Where is Jas Alice?" I asked after looking around the room and not seeing him. "He's working late tonight. Something about the stock market going up" she waved her hand before her attention was sucked back into the magazine. "Look at this one mom" I chuckled knowing I've lost her now.
"So my ragazzino. I want to hear all about this Isabella, is she Italian?" I laughed at my Nonna. Always worried about keeping the Italian blood line. Mom kinda broke that one marring an Irish man. "Yes she is Nonna. I don't know how much but most of her father side is Italian" she clapped her hand and started talking about a big Italian wedding making my moms eyes light up.
"Just wait till you meet Oliver, mama. You will absolutely adore him. He has the cutest curly hair and little dimples on his cheeks" My mom gushed with a big smile on her face. Nonna was hanging onto every word and I could tell she was itching to meet them. "Pictures Edward! Show your Nonna some pictures" Mom all but shouted at me.
I grabbed my phone and opened up the folder labeled Ollie man. I smiled at the first picture. It was of Oliver and Bella at the park feeding the ducks. "He is such a Bambola" I nodded with a proud smile. She went to the next one which was a video of Oliver chasing some ducks and you could hear Ollie yelling Daddy at me to save him after they started chasing him. "He really favors his mother" I nodded looking at the picture of thier smiling faces. "Yeah he does" Aro huffed crossing arms. Nonna's eyes locked on his and he shifted in his seat.
"You are dating a puttana now Edward?" We all gasped at the old man and I jumped to my feet. "How dare you! You know nothing about Isabella" he rolled his eyes and stood meeting my eyes. "I know all I need too. You are over here making a stolto of yourself taking care of figlio bastardo" My hands were in tight first by my side as I fault not to hit this man and scream at him for talking about my Son is such a terrible way.
"Aro Marchetti! You will not speak like this" My Nonna got in his face and held his shirt in her hands. "Sei stupido?" They started arguing in Italian and I could keep up. Both of their faces were red and my Nonna's black hair was flying around her face. Elizabeth said something that made Aro go silent as his eyes went wide. "Vai, ora" Nonna said pointing to the stairs. He hung head and walked to the stairs without a word.
"Tesoro, I am so sorry about your papa. I just don't know what got into that man" she hand tears in her eyes as she looked at the empty space. "Nonna" I wrapped her in my arms and held her close to me. "Never apologize for his actions. It is not your fault" her tears fell and she pulled away saying she was going to bed and apologize for cutting this nice evening short. She wished us all Goodnight and took her leave.
"Edward I'm so sorry, son. I don't even recognize my own father anymore. He is getting worse as the years go by" I shrugged my shoulders wanting nothing more then to go to Bella and hold her, make love to her. Just get lost in her love. "Don't worry about it Ma. I should probably get to my condo. I've got a early start tomorrow" I said my goodbyes and went home and passed out. Wishing I had a stiff drink.
