A/H: I am so, so, so, soooo sorry for the severe delay on this. College was brutal this semester, but classes are over so there should be many more updates!

BPOV

It had been two months since Edward came into my and Aiden's life; he was now a permanent fixture in our world. We still had yet to tell Aiden that Edward was his father; the time just never felt right. Edward and I both knew, however, that it would be soon, because now the bond between Edward and Aiden was as unbreakable as the bond between Aiden and me.

I was so happy that Edward proved to me that he could be responsible and put Aiden first; no matter how severe the situation was. Seeing him interact with our son was like nothing I could have ever imagined. The way Aiden's face lit up the second he seen Edward was indescribable. You could just see how much he looked up to and loved him.

Aiden's birthday was quickly approaching and Edward had arranged a surprise for him for the three of us to share on his birthday. I was so impressed that Edward took so much time to orchestrate the plans for the surprise, which I knew Aiden would be over the moon about.

Edward would take no help with the surprise for Aiden; much to my displeasure. He said that he had already missed four of his birthdays and he wanted to make up for lost time with a special day he would never forget. I told him he was just trying to outdo me; he snickered and agreed; jerk.

Edward had talked to me and asked if maybe we could tell Aiden over his birthday dinner. I had suggested that since we would be out all day doing what Edward had planned that we should just go home after his surprise and order in Aiden's favorite Chinese take-out food.

In the back of my mind I was also thinking that just in case Aiden didn't take the news how we expected, we wouldn't be in a crowded restaurant for the possible breakdown.

I could tell that even behind all of Edward's excitement for the day that he was freaking out over finally telling Aiden the truth. I honestly couldn't blame the guy because one part of me was nervous as hell and the other part of me just couldn't wait for us to finally be a real family – with all of us knowing the truth.

I was knocked from my day dreaming by a blur of bronze hair and giggles jumped on top of me.

"Mommy! Guess what today is!" Aiden shrieked from the spot he was bouncing on beside me.

"Hmmm I don't know; Saturday?" I asked, just to get a reaction out of him.

I heard him huff from beside me. "Momma, it's my birthday!"

"Ooh my goodness really! Well I guess I could give you this then…" I tell him reaching underneath the bed to pull out the gift I got for him.

He yelped in excitement at the sight of his gift. Just as he was about to unwrap his present we could hear the front door opening.

"You know who that is!" I told him as I watched his face brighten in happiness.

"I'm looking for a birthday boy to give all these presents to, got any ideas?" Edward asks as he pokes his head in the door to my bedroom.

I couldn't help the smile that made its way onto my face when I could see so much excitement and happiness in Edward's eyes.

"I'm the birthday boy! I'm the birthday boy!" Aiden proclaimed as Edward made his way to the other side of the bed to climb up with us so Aiden could open the presents from us.

Edward leaned over and gave me a quick kiss and said good morning. Aiden then climbed into his lap - which put an enormous smile on his father's face – and asked if he could open his presents now.

Once he got the go ahead he tore into them like he was trying to win a race. He was thrilled over the huge elaborate train set we got him along with some other new toys and clothes.

"Okay little man, you need to go get dressed and ready for a big day. I have a special surprise for you that we have to be at in a few hours." Edward explained.

Aiden was off like a light to get ready for the fun day ahead of him.

Once we were all ready and in the car Aiden finally asked where it was we were going. I was wondering the same thing, since Edward hadn't let a thing slip about what this surprise was.

"Well, we are going on an adventure on a real…" he trailed off as Aiden practically vibrated with curiosity. "…TRAIN!"

The screech of excitement that came from my son surprised even me, and I think it even made Edward swerve off the road a bit.

"Really! Oh my god; like a real train, not the subway ones!" Aiden asked while bouncing in his seat.

"Nope; it's a real one. There is even a surprise that will happen once we are on it." Edward explained.

For the rest of the drive Aiden played with his new toys in the back seat and rambled on and on about how cool his birthday surprise was…Edward had a shit eating grin on his face the whole time.

When we finally made it to a town outside of Seattle, Edward seemed to know how to get where we were going. I'm guessing that he came and checked this place out to make sure it was up to our son's train standards…cue eye roll.

When we pulled into the train station I wasn't sure if even the child safety locks would have been enough to keep Aiden in the car.

We made our way to the ticket counter and they directed us to a man in a conductors outfit.

Once Aiden got a few pictures in front of the train with the conductor we made our way to our seats. I was relieved to see it was far nicer that any subway I had ever been on.

The surprise Edward was referring to was an acted out skit of a train robbery that had the passengers participate. If Edward hadn't have warned me before it started I probably would have had a heart attack. It would have been worth it though, because Aiden had a blast and I don't think the smile left his face the entire day.

Our little boy was quite exhausted after his exciting day so we had him take a nap on the car ride home. We figured the news we planned to tell him tonight would only be more emotionally draining so he should get some rest.

When we finally made it home Aiden was just waking up and it was around five o'clock. We asked him if he wanted his favorite Chinese as his birthday dinner. We weren't disappointed with the award winning smile we were met with.

Once we ordered our fix of sweet and sour chicken, lo mien noodles, and egg rolls we all went into the living room to find a movie to watch and wait for our food to be delivered.

Aiden chose his all time favorite movie: Finding Nemo.

Once the food was delivered we decided to eat on the coffee table in the living room and watch the movie together.

After stuffing ourselves full and watching Nemo's dad hunt the ocean for his baby I thought it was the right time to tell Aiden who Edward really was.

When I loved over to Edward he was as white as a sheet and looked on the verge of losing his dinner.

"Me and Edward are going to clean up the dishes and put the leftovers away, okay Aid?" I said so I could give Edward a pep talk in the kitchen.

"Okay mama, I watch Nemo." He told me with a smile.

I reached over and tugged on Edward and we made our way into the kitchen with the dishes.

"Edward, do you love Aiden?" I asked nonchalantly.

He spun around with a astounded look on his face. "Bella, what the hell kind of question is that! Of course I love him; more than my own life!"

"Do you think Aiden loves you?" I asked him, trying to fight the smile from taking over my face.

A small smile made its way to Edward's face. "Yeah, he tells me he does every day."

"And has Aiden not on many occasions told you he wished you were his real daddy?"

A look of understanding crossed Edward's face as he finally got what I was pointing out to him. "Yeah he has." He verified.

"Thought so, now if all this is true – which you say it is – why are you making yourself sick over it? He loves you, I love you, we are a family; nothing is going to change that. This will only make us stronger and closer." I explain as I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and pressed my lips to his.

"I love you both too. That's why I'm so afraid, I don't want everything to change and be different once we tell him." He explained.

"Edward, the most that will change is he will probably start calling you daddy. Is that such a bad thing?" I asked. The smile that broke across his face was answer enough.

Once all the dishes were done and the leftovers were put away we went back into the living room just as the movie was ending.

It was now around seven-thirty, so I figured once the news was out we could watch one more movie as a family and then go to bed. Aiden had a nap earlier, plus it is his birthday so staying up late wouldn't hurt anything.

I gave Edward's hand a reassuring squeeze and then took a deep breath before beginning.

"Aiden; why don't you come sit up here with us? I need to talk to you about something." I asked him, trying to sound reassuring to both my baby boy and his petrified father now sitting beside him.

Once we were all situated comfortably on the couch I decided it was now or never.

"Aiden; do you remember what I told you when you asked about your daddy?" I questioned.

He looked up at me with a smile before answering.

"You said you met him at school; and fell in love. But some bad stuff happened and you never got to tell him about me cause you didn't ever see him again." he explained exactly what I had told him when he had asked me some time ago.

"Exactly," I encouraged with a smile. "What would you say if I told you I found your daddy and told him about you? And that he loves you very much and wants to be a part of your life?" I asked, already guessing how excited he would be.

I was shocked when I looked down to see his eyes filling up with tears and panic covering his face.

"NO! No, no! I don't want him!" he sobbed and scrambled over into Edward's lap and wrapped himself around him.

Edward looked like someone just stabbed him in the heart and I could feel the dread seeping into my body.

"Baby, Aiden; why do you say that? You always wanted to know your daddy before." I asked, because I was honestly miffed over his reaction.

"I-I-I don't want him. I want E-E-Edward to be m-my d-daddy!" he sobbed uncontrollably into the front of Edward's shirt.

I watched as Edward visibly relaxed and pulled Aiden into him tighter.

Edward looked up into my eyes with his own tear-filled green eyes and mouthed 'let me handle this.' I nodded in encouraging and waited to see how he would handle this.

After a moment of Edward just hugging and rubbing Aiden's back, he pulled our boy back a little bit to wipe the tears from his face.

"Aiden, that's what we were trying to tell you buddy." Edward whispered to him.

"W-what you m-mean?" Aiden asked between sniffles.

Edward smiled and looked over at me, "Bella will you go get me a mirror?"

I looked at him peculiarly but did as he asked. Once I gave him the mirror, he took it by the handle and pointed it at Aiden.

"Aiden look in the mirror for me okay; look at your nose. Now look at your Mommy's nose; see how they look the same?" Aiden did as he was told and nodded with a smile when he realized they did in fact look the same.

"See they look the same because mommies and daddies give part of themselves to their babies. So like me I have my mommy's hair color and my daddy's eye color; understand?" He explained.

"So the baby looks a little bit like the mommy and a little bit like the daddy?" Aiden asked curiously.

"Exactly! Now I want you to look in the mirror again okay?" Edward asked and then glanced over at me with visible worry in his eyes.

"Look at your eyes, see how they aren't like your mommy's?" Edward asked; to which Aiden did as he was told.

"I don't have momma's eyes, so does that mean I have my daddy's?" Aiden asked, still somewhat unsure of his understanding.

"Yeah, that means you have your daddy's eyes. You have his hair and his smile too." Edward told him.

Aiden quickly looked in his mirror and then at me to check. "Smile momma! I need to make sure!" he exclaimed when I wasn't being helpful to his assessment.

"Yeah, I don't have momma's hair or smile either." He agreed.

"Now Aiden I want you to do something a little different this time okay?" He continued when Aiden nodded.

"Okay now look at your eyes again. Okay, now this time instead of looking at your mommy I want you to look at me." Edward instructed him barely above a nervous whisper.

I watched silently from beside them on the couch as Aiden reached out and touched Edward's face, then his hair and then finally when he spoke all he said was: "smile please."

Edward did as he was told and we both watched as Aiden's bright green eyes got as big as saucers and he whispered, "Edward, me and you match all that stuff."

"Yeah little man, we do match all that stuff. Do you know what I'm trying to explain to you by showing you this Aiden?" he pressed, wanting Aiden piece the puzzle together himself.

"Edward; you said mommies and daddies are the ones that give the baby pieces of them." Aiden stated, before continuing.

"But you and me match; so does that mean you're my real daddy Edward?" Aiden asked barely above a whisper. Aiden visibly held his breath waiting for his answer. As though if we were to tell him Edward wasn't his father it would break him.

After taking a deep breath Edward answered, "yeah little man I'm your real daddy."

Aiden's eyes welled up with tears as he turned to me, "Really mamma, he is?"

I cleared my throat because I was holding back my own tears and was rather choked up from their exchange.

"Yeah baby, he really is your daddy."

I barely got the words from my mouth before Aiden had launched himself at Edward and held himself around his neck in a vice grip.

Edward wrapped his arms around Aiden and I could see a few tears fall from his eyes over the fact that his son had accepted him so willingly.

Aiden finally pulled away with a 100-watt smile on his face.

"Don't cry daddy, everything is okay; I love you." Aiden told him while wiping the few tears from Edwards face in reassurance.

"I love you too Aiden." Edward told him.

That night the three of us fell asleep on the couch watching another movie with content smiles on all our faces; finally our family was really together.

I was actually brought on a "train adventure" like Aiden's when I was little; so that's where this idea came from. My nephew had a far better time than I did…I guess it's a boy thing.

So there it is the long awaited reveal to Aiden. Hope you all liked it. Again I apologize for such a long wait!

Please Read & Review! =)
