Chapter 2: The date.
E.P.O.V.:
I was very nervous. It was only one year ago that I had a wife, and when we divorced, I was left with Alex, my year-old son. Since I had a son I never really found time to date, but I couldn't resist asking Bella out. This morning I dropped Alex off at my mother's home. I went back home and took a shower, brushed my teeth and got my car keys and wallet. I locked up my apartment and left to pick up Bella. I got out of the car and made my way to the door, and rang 3L. Bella appeared, she was beautiful, and she was wearing a knee length emerald summer dress and white ballet flats. She smiled.
"Hello, Edward!" She greeted me. I smiled back.
"Hi, Bella." I greeted back. I held out my hand and she took it, she turned around to lock the door behind her and followed me down to my car. I opened and closed the door for her. I got in the car and drove to Olive Garden. (I have never been there so I do not know the menu.)
"Table for two under Cullen, please." I told the man at the podium. He nodded and led us to a table with a beautiful view.
"Your waitress/waiter will be with you shortly, Mr. Cullen." He said and left before I could thank him.
"So Bella, how have you been?" I asked.
"Good, how about you?" She responded.
"I have been fine too. I had today and yesterday off so I got to spend more time with my son." I told her.
"Can you tell me more about your son?" She asked. I was happy that she wasn't one of the many that would turn around and run at the thought of me having a son, of course maybe her having a daughter has something to do with it.
"Yea, He was born June, 26. His first birthday was a four days ago. He had my color hair and eyes, and he looks very small to be a one year old. He was born premature. And his name is Alex David Cullen. What about your daughter?" I asked her.
"Um, well she is ten, her birthday is June 4. She just finished fourth grade and will go to fifth in September. Her name is Daniella Mary Swan, but we call her Danni or Dan, she has my last name, as of four years ago. And yea, I don't know what else to say." She told me, I smiled and nodded.
"Since my son is still too young to understand about dating he won't be effected too much by this, but is your daughter okay with you dating or is she used to it?" I asked. I had to know what her daughters view about us was.
"Danni isn't used to me dating; to be honest I haven't dated anyone ever since her father left. So she is fine." She told me, I was upset that someone would cheat on my Bella. Wait—my Bella? I haven't even known her for long and I am already falling for her. I didn't even feel this way about Marilyn. The rest of the date went like that. She would ask a question and I would answer, and vice-versa. On the way home I asked her out again.
Three weeks later.
B.P.O.V.:
It has been three weeks since I met Edward and since our first date. I was on cloud nine. We have had five dates and today we were going out for lunch, but this time we would be bringing our kids. I was going to meet Alex and he was going to meet Danni. Hopefully all goes well. I packed up a picnic basket and put it in the back of my Toyota pirus.
"Danni, come on, it doesn't matter how your hair looks!" I yelled.
"I just wanna make a good impression mom," She told me. I smiled at her and kissed her head.
"You look pretty, now let's go!" I opened the car door and she slipped in. I made my way to the drivers' seat and made my way to central park. I saw Edward with a stroller sitting down on a bench and I parked the car. I got the stuff from the back and made my way over to them.
"Hi Edward." I greeted him. He smiled, stood and kissed me lightly. I smiled at him and turned around to face Danni.
"Edward, this is my daughter, Danni. Danni this is Edward." I introduced them. Danni stuck out her hand and Edward shook it.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Danni." Edward said smiling; it looked like if he smiled any bigger his face would crack.
"You too." Danni said shyly. Edward lifted the sun blocker sheet off of the baby stroller and a cute small baby was sleeping there.
"Bella, this is Alex." He said. I was about to tell him that Alex was super cute but Danni beat me to it.
"OH MI GAWD! He is the most adorable baby EVER!" She exclaimed. Edward and I smiled.
"Daniella, keep your voice down can't you see he's sleeping." I scolded Danni.
"Sorry." She said.
"It's okay, he's been sleeping for two hours now, and he should wake up soon. He is a heavy sleeper anyway. " Edward assured us. Just as he finished Alex opened his eyes. They were super adorable.
"Can I carry him?" I asked shyly. Edward smiled and nodded. He unblocked Alex and passed him to me.
"He is so cute, Edward. He looks just like you." I told him. He smirked.
"Does that mean I am cute too?" He asked.
"Leave it up to my compliments to bring out your conceited self out." I laughed. He smiled and hugged me carefully.
"Bella, you amaze me." He whispered in my ear. I blushed and laughed.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" He blurted out, and then blushed. He BLUSHED!
"Yes, I would be honored." I told him. He kissed me softly, I was glad he wasn't the kind to want to make out in front of our kids.
"Mom, I am hungry." Danni said and her stomach growled. I laughed and we sat down on the blanket that Edward spread out. I placed Alex on the blanket and passed out the sandwiches I made. We ate and chatted about nothing in particular.
"Danni, what do you like to do?" Edward asked. Danni looked up from playing with Alex.
"I like to go to amusement parks." She responded. Edward nodded. I checked the time it was four, we had been there for four hours wow!
"We should start packing it looks like it's going to start raining." I told them, they nodded and started packing. On our way back to the cars Danni was holding Alex, I hopped one day we could be a happy family. But I was getting way ahead of myself. Danni climbed into my car after handing Edward the baby and started playing on her D.S.
"That went great." I said as Edward put Alex in his car seat inside Edwards' car.
"Yea, I am happy that there isn't going to be tension or awkwardness." He said and I nodded in agreement. He kissed me longer than before and harder.
"I've been wanting to do that for a while." He said, I nodded. Danni honked the horn.
"I have to go, she wants to go home because she is staying with her grandfather for two weeks." I said, he nodded understandingly.
"Bye, Baby." He said.
"Bye." He opened my door and leaned down to kiss me, and closed the door. I drove away happy that today went well.
