Edward Pov:
Saturday …
"Edward stop fidgeting please. It's just Bella for god sakes." Alice was fixing the flowers around the house making sure none were dying on her. "It's not like you're a regular student with an actual teacher coming over that you have to impress."
I sat at the piano scowling at her, "It's not 'just Bella' Alice and you know that."
Emmett came bounding in and plopped down onto the couch making it sink a couple inches into the floor. "She is just Bella, yah know the girl who spent almost everyday of the summer at our house laughing and hanging out like anyone else. She's fun and loveable and makes me laugh like crazy. Hey Ali is she still a klutz?" He chuckled lightly, Come on Eddie don't mess this up.
Alice shrugged, "She's different like more confident. When she's in front of the class she's not our Bella she's really Ms. Swan, its weird."
"Well maybe her little girl is more like her; I still can't get over the fact that she had a kid with Mike Newton." He shook his head and flipped the television on.
I scowled just remembering the fact that Bella and Mike … I took a deep breath, "Well Maggie doesn't seem like her at all, except for the looks."
"Yeah," Alice interrupted, "She probably has Mike's outgoingness."
"Great," muttered Emmett.
Esme came gliding in at the moment, "Oh Emmett I am sure she is adorable. Don't go pre-judging before you meet her."
"Yes mother," he said laughing a bit.
I heard a car pull into our drive way and 5 minutes later the bell rang and everyone entered the foyer. Emmett bounded over to the door to reveal Bella and Maggie standing there.
Bella Pov:
I couldn't even give time to breath because Maggie was already out the door ringing the bell. I ran after her and stood there until Emmett opened the door with a wide grin.
"Bella," He boomed and picked me up into a bone crushing (not literally) hug. "What's up little sis?"
I couldn't help but laugh and wrap my arms around his neck, "Hi Emmett nothing much you?"
He let me down and shrugged, "Same old same old." Then he looked down to Maggie, "Hey you must be Maggie; I'm Emmett."
Maggie beamed at him; she loved people that were outgoing like she was. She definitely didn't get that gene from me. "Yeah, I'm Maggie." She then pushed through Emmett and ran over to Alice and gave her a hug. "Hi Alice," then to everyone's surprise including me she ran over to Edward and hugged him too. "Edward! Hello." She smiled that contagious smile she had and Edward couldn't help but smile.
"Hi Maggie, How are you?"
Maggie looked up at the sky like she was in deep thought then she looked back at Edward, "Fine today thank you."
I chuckled and shook my head that's when I saw Esme looking at me and the look of love she gave me made me want to cry. "My dear Bella," she cooed and she glided over to me and hugged me.
"I missed you so much Esme," I said hugging her back.
"Oh Mamma, is this Esme." Maggie let go of Alice hand and went over to Esme. "Hi I'm Margaret Esme, My mamma named me after you."
Esme touched my cheek lightly and looked at me with such admiration I had to swallow back a lump that was beginning to form in my throat. She looked back down to Maggie and bent down to her level, "Nice to meet you Maggie." She hugged Maggie and pushed a curl away from her face.
"Hey Bella, why Margaret," Emmett asked lounging on the wall next to me. I blushed slightly and Emmett chuckled, "I missed that."
I chuckled too, "Um it was Mike's grandmother's name. He had picked it before the accident."
Maggie nodded, now in Esme's arms, "Nana Maggie died last year though. Mamma told me she's in heaven with daddy. Nana was so pretty though she made planes during the … well I don't know but some war."
We laughed at her, "She's a handful that one." Then Carlisle came next to me and gave me a hug, "Hello Carlisle."
"Hello Bella, How have you been?"
I glanced over at Maggie then at Edward before I answered, "I've been good." I looked back at Maggie, "Sweetie this is Carlisle."
"Hi Carlisle," she said before going back to a conversation with Emmett and Esme.
"Hello Maggie, Come let's not just stand here everyone to the living room."
Maggie spotted the piano before I did, she loved piano music. I had played it for her ever since I was pregnant. Later on my license had fallen between the floor boards in my room and I had to open the floor to find all my presents and pictures of Edward. I played my lullaby for Margaret every night. "Who plays piano? Me and mamma love to listen to it."
"Edward does," Alice answered.
Maggie jumped off Esme's lap and went to take Edward's hand she started to pull his hand, "Please play for me Edward."
He chuckled, "Okay here I come." He picked Maggie up carefully and sat her on the bench next to her. "What do you want me to play?"
"Oh my lullaby it goes like this," she began to hum 'my lullaby' and everyone in the room froze and all eyes were on me. My face turned bright red and I could feel Alice's hand on my shoulder giving me a quick squeeze. "Do you know it Edward?"
"Yes, very well." He said after he was called out of a trance, and then he began to play. I sat back in the couch and closed my eyes, when I opened them Edward was looking at me.
Just then Jasper and Rosalie walked in. "Bella," Jasper called, "How are you?"
"Hi Jasper, Rosalie, I'm well and you?"
"Good, sorry for being late my car kind of faltered while I was going to pick up the food and Rose had to come help me." He smiled slightly but I noticed he still stood away from me. I hope he didn't feel bad for my birthday incident still.
Rosalie didn't even acknowledge my presence, "I'm going upstairs to clean up." She ran upstairs and then Jasper headed over to Alice.
Maggie was standing on the bench now holding onto Edward with one hand. She was humming to the song that she knew so well, "Maggie sweetie sit down before you get hurt please."
"Yes mamma," she went to go jump off the bench but the poor girl had inherited my lack of balance and almost fell. I gasped but inside I knew with a room full of vampires there was no harm. Edward caught her and sat her back onto the bench, "Wow thank you."
Emmett's booming laugh broke the silence, "Well if you weren't sure that was Bella's kid before you definitely know now."
We all laughed and the rest of the day went by smoothly. Edward and I evaded each other as best we could. While I got the tour of the Maryland house Edward stayed playing the piano with Maggie. Around lunch Maggie complained that she was hungry.
Alice grabbed her hand, "Come on we have food in the kitchen." She glanced at me, "You hungry Bella?"
"No I'm fine thank you." She took Maggie into the kitchen and when I turned around I realized that it was only me and Edward left in the living room. Now I wish I did go into the kitchen but it would be too obvious.
Crap...
Edward Pov:
As Bella turned to answer Alice's question about food I realized everyone was leaving as fast as they could. Great, this was going to be pleasant. Bella turned back to the living room and smiled but when she realized it was just me she frowned. I can't believe I let Alice and Emmett make me think this could work out.
"Your daughter is the most adorable little girl I have ever met." I smiled at her but she just shrugged her shoulders like she knew that. Of course she did, "She's beautiful too just like you."
She shook her head, "Edward please don't."
"Don't what?"
She crossed the room and leaned on the piano, "Listen what happened between us was a long time ago and I understand those feeling are long over for you but you saying things like I'm beautiful only hurts me. If I was so beautiful like you say, then why did you leave?" She shook her head and began to leave I grabbed her hand.
"Wait, no I have to explain something to you please."
She sighed, "What?"
"Those feelings aren't over for me; I understand you have moved on but ..."
"Stop it!" That through me off a little, "Listen Edward you don't have to make excuses up for leaving back then. I always knew you were too good to last we just didn't go. I mean you were like this sexy male model every girl in the school wanted and I was plain Jane. I get it okay I forgive you, its not like I didn't expect it."
What was she talking about; she was too good for me not the other way around. I growled, "Bella love listen to me please?"
She shook her head, "I'm not your love anymore. I'm starting to wonder if I ever was." She walked towards the kitchen but I stopped her and spun her around and kissed her.
At first the kiss was slow I felt like I was doing all the work here, but then she began to move her lips with mine. I passed my tongue onto her bottom lip practically pleading for entrance and then I was in. Oh the taste of her was amazing and then all at once it was over she began to push on my chest although to me it felt like nothing. I let go of her and smiled a little until I saw the look on her face.
"Don't you ever try that again, I'm your teacher Edward were not kids in high school anymore." She shook her head and I went to go after her but someone's arm was restraining me.
I looked down to see Carlisle holding me back, "Let her be son she just need's time."
After that Maggie and Bella left with promises to Alice that they would go shopping soon but only out of the area because no one could see her with a student. I had royally messed up, and now I would pay the price. She loved me that's what she had said hadn't she but … How could she still love me after I hurt her? I shouldn't have kissed her Carlisle was right.
Thanks for the reviews, sarahXjacob, sethsduck17, Twilight's Abercrombie, SparklingTopazEyes, 13oClock, TwiHard24. buta-chan, kathyxyu, Steveslittlegirl, Lillian Masen, twilightlady189, and Ekaterini.
I am glad you all enjoyed it. I have a few corrections though, no insult intended.
To Steveslittlegirl: Bella is not in love with Jake I think you misinterpreted that part of the story. Jake and Bella are simply best friends. They tried dating but they realized they were better friends then lovers, yes they did have sex. I rather have Bella's first be Jake intsead of Mike wouldn't you.
To Sethsduck17: Well as for your critique I really appreciate it, thats what I'm looking for. Maggie went to her class because of the babysitters problem there really was no other place to bring her. She is outgoing like her father so thats why she was so out there you know. My mom's a teacher so when I was 5 and my babysitter was sick I would go to her class like that sometimes but I was shy so I would walk around the school visiting the other teachers I've known my whole life. As for the kids knowing her in high school at least mine you tend to get the same teachers, and Bella brought Maggie to Bring your child to work day the previous years so that's how her students would know Maggie.
Besides that thanks for the reviews you are all awesome.
I will update as soon as possible. I'm sorry if my chapters are really long.
