Chapter 2: Nothing Done Right

Being around the house for a few days, I realized how things went around here. Bella worked for half of the morning and took Mason to a dare care center. I spent most of my day watching a movie or a few on Netflix or looking through old photo albums.

For some reason Bella didn't seem to even think of leaving Mason at home with me which I knew would be less money so I decided to talk to her today as I caught her heading to the front door. "Let me keep him while you work."

"Edward it's a lot of work you would really have to keep a close eye on him." She said running her fingers through her hair.

"I will I promise. You have trusted me before I'm sure. Didn't those work out fine?" I asked holding my arms out for him but she made a face. I guess I wasn't that good with him before. "Well I can do better now. I won't let him out of my sight."
She thought for a moment before looking at me again and handing him over. "Alright. I will call and check up on you guys too."

"That's fine." I said. She kissed Mason's head and waved to him before leaving locking the door behind herself. I didn't even get my goodbye kiss. "Mommy must not be so fond of me huh? Did I miss our anniversary?" I asked him jokingly.

"Play." He insisted with a smile and I nodded walking into his room and sitting on the floor with him while he stacked blocks.

"Why are going to have to make sandwiches for lunch. Your mom won't let me use the oven, she doesn't think I can cook well." I said with a soft chuckle. I was talking to a kid about our weird problems and he was the least concerned about them.

Around noon I made him a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and around the time he got three bites into he started to cough and breath funny. Then he started to itch his throat a little and begin crying. "What's wrong little guy?" I asked worried now. He didn't answer me so I quickly picked him up and called Bella's cell phone.

"Hello?" She asked sounding confused.

"Something is wrong with Mason, I made him a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and-"

"He is allergic!" She exclaimed before I could answer.

"What do I do?!" I asked panicking.

"Benadryl. Give him some if it doesn't calm down then get him to the hospital he will have to get a shot." She explained and I nodded hanging up and finding the medicine giving it to him then looked at him as if something was going to change right away. Eventually after a minute or two which felt a lot longer he was breathing normally, he wasn't coughing and he had smiled up at me like I hadn't just almost killed him.

I sighed softly looking at him and shaking my head softly. "Maybe I should have half remembered that one buddy or at least figured it since my mother is allergic to peanut butter, nuts in general actually. I'm sorry.. I'm having a hard time up here." I said gesturing towards my head.

"Okay daddy." He said with a smile. His teeth were so tiny I couldn't help but to laugh a little at his grin.

"Well now I feel like I should make it up to mommy and you.." I said pushing some of his hair back. Then I thought of a good idea and smiled to myself. "Come on lets get ready." I said before grabbing the phone then helping him find some clothes.

I called Bella and told her that I was taking her out tonight along with Mason and as much as she questioned I didn't tell her where we were heading to. I only told her to get dressed in something nice, but not too dressy before we left.

"Where are we going?" Seemed to be the all that she said for the entire ride once we left. I couldn't help but to smile each time that she did and chuckle a little.

"Don't worry about it. You will enjoy yourself." I said glancing over at her then back at the road. She had let me drive, which I kind of wasn't expecting but I paid close attention to the road so she could at least trust that I can still remember how to drive.

When we pulled up to my parents house I looked over at her as we parked. "Whose house is this Edward?" She said giving me a panicked look.

"My parents. I think that you all deserve to get to know one another." I said trying to sooth her but she frowned softly at me.

"I don't even know if they will like me, I'm pretty sure they aren't going to be so happy with you either." She said sighing.
"I talked to them they were actually so glad that I called." I told her before getting out of the car and picking up Mason and walking to the front door where I waited for her. She sat in the car for a few seconds after I did as if she was thinking, maybe even pouting but she did come through and come up to the door just as soon as I rang the door bell.

"Edward!" My mother said opening the door right away then embracing me in a hug. "You have no idea how much we missed you. Then how worried we were when we found out you were in an accident." She kept going on into finally she looked over at Mason then at Bella. "Who is this?" She asked raising and eyebrow slightly. "Come in it's cold outside."

"Mom I think everyone should be here for us to talk about this." I told her and she nodded leading me into the living room.

Memories came crashing down on me as we walked through the house. I remembered first when me and Emmett were kids we would run through the house pretending that we were airplanes. Then I remember him personally giving me a talk about women before my parents got the chance to explain it. Maybe that was when I decided not to go by what my mother said about waiting until we were married.

When we reached the living room me and Bella sat next to each other on the couch, looking around I saw Emmett and his girlfriend Rosalie. I remembered her because that was the girl that I walked in on him with when we were young. Maybe that was what started our little talk. He had convinced me not to tell and everything would be fine. I guess that I was getting caught tonight.

"Everyone. This is Bella." I said to them then looked at Bella. "Bella, This is my mother Esme and my father Carlisle." I paused for a moment looking over at Emmett and Rosalie. "That's my brother Emmett and his girlfriend Rosalie." I told her.

"Actually, We are engaged now." Emmett corrected with a smile at me and I nodded, chuckling.

"I know that I should have told you about Bella before I don't know why I didn't. I realized that I was wrong when I woke and saw that we had son too. Mason." I said looking at them. That probably wasn't the way most people would have explained it but I didn't remember any of the things that led up to me having a kid. Or meeting Bella either.
