Okay! This chapter was a lot easier to write than the last one. Mostly because the last one was just filler. This one has sustenance! Thank you guys so much for your reviews! They all mean a lot! And because some of you guys asked, yes I did get to meet Rob! He was very very sweet. Anyway, hope you enjoy this chapter! This chapter will probably be shorter than normal, just because of where I wanted to end it.

"Do you know what sound a lion makes?" Edward asked Chase while enthusiastically bouncing him up and down in his arms.

"Baaabaaaah!" Chase shouted excitedly while clapping his hands.

Edward let out a loud laugh which caused Chase to laugh in turn. Edward started tickling Chase, causing him to laugh even more.

"No, silly man! That's the sound sheep make! The lion goes 'RAWWRRRR'"

Luckily, school had let us out with a three day weekend so Edward and I had utilized it to take Chase to the zoo for the first time. We had been there since it opened this morning and Chase was loving every minute of it. Every time we came upon a new animal Edward would mimic the sound it made and Chase would giggle uncontrollably and try to mimic it himself. Needless to say, all three of us had spent about 70% of our trip laughing.

Chase erupted in another fit of giggles and put his hands on either side of Edward's face. "RAWWW, Dada, RAWWW!" he chanted.

Abruptly Edward stopped laughing and became completely serious. All I could do was just stare at the both of them. Slowly, I made my way closer and lightly touched Edward's shoulder. I didn't really know what to say.

"Did—Did he just call me Dada?" Edward questioned in an awed tone.

I just nodded, still unsure about what to say.

Edward's face erupted in the biggest shit eating grin I've ever seen in my life and I felt myself smiling along with him.

Charlie's attention suddenly shifted to the ice cream shack we were standing in front of.

"Mama, ice ceem! Ice ceem for meeee!"

"Sure, baby. Do you want chocolate?" I asked him while wiping some slobber from the side of his mouth. He bobbed his head up and down.

I turned to Edward. "Babe, you want anything?"

He still seemed to be in awe of the whole situation and just nodded silently.

"Chocolate chip cookie dough, right?"

He nodded mutely again.

I bought all 3 of us the ice cream and made my way back to Edward and Chase to find them sitting at a table right outside the ice cream place.

"I think we better head home soon, Bella. My arms are killing me from lugging this little man around all day!" I could tell there was a new gleam in Edward's eyes.

I scooted over and put my arm around his waist and whispered to him, "I'm just as ecstatic as you are that Chase thinks of you has his Dad, Edward. I can't think of anyone who would do a better job."

An even bigger grin broke across his face and he leaned in and kissed me gently. When he broke away he leaned his forehead against mine and closed his eyes. "Thank you so much. You don't know how happy it makes me to hear those words come out of your beautiful beautiful mouth."

Unfortunately, the next day was a school day. As I always did, I headed over to Edward's as soon as I got myself and Chase completely ready. Every morning we had school (and some weekends) Esme would make a big breakfast. She insisted that Chase and I come over and be properly fed before embarking on our day.

Today was a little different though because when I got there, I found Carlisle sitting down at the table next to Edward. Usually he was gone by the time I got there. He worked some crazy hours.

"Good morning everyone!" I practically sang as I waltzed through the door with Chase trotting along by my side.

"Morning, Bella!" Carlisle called from behind his newspaper.

Esme came over and gave me a hug. "Good morning, sweetheart! I made your favorite this morning! Strawberry pancakes!"

I took a big whiff of air. "It smells absolutely delicious! Thank you so much!"

As soon as Chase spotted Edward seated at the table he smiled ridiculously wide and ran to him. "Dada! I miss you!"

I heard a clang in the kitchen at the same time Carlisle set his paper down abruptly.

I looked back to see Esme staring at Edward and Chase with tears coming to her eyes and a happy smile on her face. Carlisle just grinned and went back to reading the paper.

"So, you're Dada now, huh?" he said casually while still skimming.

Edward looked up from Chase. "Huh? Oh, yeah. He started that at the zoo yesterday. I don't know why, but I'm definitely not complaining."

I sat down next to my two favorite men and Edward leaned over to give me a kiss on my cheek. "Good morning, love. How was your night?"

"It was amazing. I slept like a baby."

Esme brought the food to the table and I dug in hungrily. Esme was perhaps the best cook on the entire planet.

"So, Carlisle, what are you doing home this morning? Aren't you supposed to be out there saving lives?" I joked.

Carlisle smiled and finished chewing the bite that was in his mouth. "Well, we're getting a new doctor in my wing of the hospital today. He just moved here from Phoenix I believe, and I'm supposed to show him the ropes and do some training today. But Dr. Adams can't make it in until around 11 because his family didn't get a chance to leave to come up here from Arizona until yesterday. So I'm just biding my time until I have to go."

"Oh. That's really weird that he's from Phoenix. Two families moving up here from Phoenix within the same year."

Carlisle chucked. "Oh! That reminds me. Edward, Dr. Adams has a son about your age who will be going to school today. He doesn't currently have a car and so I told Dr. Adams that you would give his son a ride to the hospital right after school today. His parents are going to drop him off at the school this morning but no one will be able to pick him up afterwards."

"But Dad, Bella and I have to pick up Chase from daycare right after school!"

Carlisle looked like he was about to say something but Esme interjected, "Well, honey, just pick Chase up first and then bring Dr. Adams' son by the hospital. I'm sure the little pit stop won't be an issue."

The school day went by really slowly. I was assigned about three new projects and two papers that were due in about three weeks. I could feel the dread taking over me. At lunch, everyone was fairly broody and quiet so I assumed it wasn't just me who was getting the homework piled on.

"Hey, Bella, don't let me forget about finding that new kid before we leave today. I don't want to completely space out and leave him here. And this day is so slow that there is a fairly good chance of that happening," Edward told me as he laced our fingers and rubbed circles with this thumb on the top of my hand.

"I'll do my best but I already have so much on my mind right now that there's a good chance I'llforget"

Alice looked up from her lunch tray, "speaking of the new kid, has anyone even seen him? I haven't seen him all day! Which is weird considering this school is tiny"

Everyone around the table was shaking their head. Odd.

At the end of the day, I made my way outside and searched the parking lot for Edward. I saw him standing about 100 ft. away talking to some guy who I assumed was the new kid. He had brown hair that was kind of shaggy and he was fairly tall. There was something about the way he was standing that made him seem familiar to me.

I got close enough to both of the boys, who both had their back to me, that I could hear their conversation.

"Who exactly are we waiting on again?" the new kid asked, seemingly annoyed.

"My girlfriend, Bella. I give her a ride everyday," Edward replied, patient as ever.

"Hmm. Bella you say? I had a girlfriend named Bella once..."

I froze. How did I not see this earlier? The last name was the same. His dad was a doctor. He was from Phoenix. His appearance had changed only minimally since the last time I had seen him.

At that same time, both boys turned around. Both said my name. Edward's exclamation was loving, joyous, admiring. The new kid's was full of shock and disbelief.

"Edward," I acknowledged. "…Robert."

WOWO! Who saw that coming? (Even if you did, make me feel better by telling me that you had no idea and I am just so sneaky and that you love me). This chapter is shortttt, I know, but I really had to end it there because I love cliffies. The next one will be so much fun to write! And This one was a lot easier to write than last chapter. Also, keep an eye out for a new story I'll have coming out sometime soon, hopefully. I'm planning on writing it all before I post any of it.

Oh, and I know I never told you guys the Lifetime movie this story is based off of (pretty loosely), but it's called Mom At 16. But Bella wasn't 16 and the title would have given it away
