A/N: sorry for disappearing last week! Colds can be a bitch, especially when my allergies were already kicking my ass on top of it all. So, I won't say much more, just read on and I'll see you at the bottom!

Glancing at the clock for what seemed like the millionth time today, I noted that it was only 5:45. Edward would be here in 15 minutes for our date. The butterflies erupted again in my stomach at that thought. Never in a million years did I think I'd be doing this, granted it's only the first date, but still, going out with him wasn't what had me on edge at first, it was our inquisitive son after Edward left that morning. The front door was barely closed before the first question began.

"So, mom." He stood there arms folded and a blank expression on his face.

Clearing my throat nervously, I fidgeted with my hands. 'God, I'm afraid of my 9 year old. Get it together Swan!'

"So...Did you need something?" I knew what he wanted but, I'll be damned if I brought it up. I don't even know for sure what 'it' is so, right now, I'll go for avoidance.

Rolling his eyes, he huffed and stated. "I saw you and dad kissing this morning." My breath still caught a little when I heard Ethan refer to Edward as Dad. He didn't make a scene out of it; he just sort of slid into it, as if he'd called him that all his life.

"Are you ok with that?" I couldn't make myself say the word 'kissing'; talking about it with my son seemed weird, I'm sure he thought it was gross anyway. I crossed over to the couch and patted the cushion next to me. This conversation is more then likely going to be uncomfortable, might as well make us as physically comfortable as possible.

"I'm ok with it mom. I mean, I don't want you to do it around me all the time cause' that's just gross, but, its ok if you do it, he is my dad. Does this mean you're going to get married now? Cause, I know married people do that all the time. Will I get a baby brother too? I don't think I want a sister, they're gross."

My head was spinning; he'd gotten all that just because we'd kissed? Where do kids come up with this stuff? Shaking my head slightly, I took a deep breath. How to answer him without putting anymore ideas into his overworked imagination? Best just to stick with the truth, I think. God, I wish Edward was here to help with this!

"No, Eth, it doesn't mean we'll get married. We are however going to go out on a date Friday. Edwards going to see about having you stay with his mom and dad while we go out. As for a baby, we'll if that ever happens I promise you'll be one of the first people to know, but as of right now, that's no where near happening." Hopefully that appeases him. I really don't want to have 'the talk' with him now. Besides I totally planned on foisting that little task off to Edward, he just didn't know it yet!

Ethan sat there thinking over what I said, after a few minutes he lifted his head, "So, this doesn't mean that one day you might not get married right?" I'll admit, its kind of weird, he's never been this concerned over me getting married before.

"Why are you so set on this for, kiddo? You've never been strong on the idea of me getting married before. Why now?" I studied my son, he's normally so confident, now, he looks nervous and flushed, and even the tips of his ears were red. "You know, you can tell me anything, right? We've always told each other everything."

He looked up at me, chewing on the inside of his lip, then ran his hand through his hair, sighing he said, "I want us to be a family mom. Now that I have my dad, I want us all to be together. All my other friends live with there dads and I want that too." He mumbled the last part that had there been any other noise in the apartment, I might not have heard him. I did though and it brought tears to my eyes. Looking at him, he seemed so small then, he was avoiding looking at my eyes and his shoulders were hunched over. I quickly pulled him onto my lap and held him. He wrapped his arms around my neck and snuggled in.

"Ethan, baby, I'm so sorry I didn't tell your dad sooner about you. I had no idea you felt like you were missing out. Know, that he and I will do what ever it takes to make sure you won't feel like that again, ok? I love you so much and it hurts me when you're hurting. He nodded and held me tighter. I had called Edward that night and talked to him about what Ethan had said. I couldn't see him, but I heard it in his voice. It made him hurt just as much as I did. He, of course tried to take the blame for it, but I wouldn't let him. None of it was his fault, I mean, how could he have known? He's not a mind reader. Even if he was I doubt it would of spanned over 3,000 miles. We agreed to spend as much time together with him as possible, weather it be at his place or mine at least for right now, he said. I'm not sure what 'for right now' meant but until something changed I wasn't going to worry about it.

I was brought out of my thoughts by a knock at my door. Getting up, I glanced at a mirror by the door to check my dress and make-up. Even several days later, thinking about what Ethan said still brought tears to my eyes.

I opened the door after unlatching the chain and what I saw made me stop dead. Holy fuck. It should be a crime for this man to look as gorgeous as he does. He was standing there, in dark grey dress pants, a baby blue dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up, holding several daisies of various colors wrapped up in a neat bouquet. Pulling myself out of my Edward induced stupor I invited him in. He handed me the flowers, with a smile on his face.

"I wanted to get you something other then roses, I figured that was a little over done and I wanted tonight to be special, I mean this is the start of something new and I wanted you to remember it so I thought these would stand out more then roses would." I giggled a little. He was so cute when he rambled on and got nervous, it made him that much more attractive to know that even Edward Cullen got nervous over a girl.

"These are wonderful, Edward, thank you. I'll go put them in some water and then we can go, ok?" He nodded and I disappeared into the kitchen I was rooting around under the sink for a vase when I heard a noise behind me, finally locating the missing vase I stood up and turned around. Edward was there, arms crossed leaning against the entry way to the kitchen with a smirk on his face, two guesses what he was looking at. My cheeks pinked slightly, "Enjoying the view?" I managed to get out, surprisingly I managed to sound somewhat normal, not at all how I was feeling right now however. Pushing himself off the wall he made his way over to me, I was still holding the vase, when he reached me, he took it from my hands and set in on the counter behind me. At this point I was backed all the way to the counter and Edward kept getting closer, with either hand on the counter behind me, his body was flush to mine, I could feel every inch that was pressed up against me. Looking up at him, he still wore that smirk.

"I was enjoying the view, but I like this much better." With that, his lips swooped down and captured mine. I was stunned but only for a moment, I wrapped my arms around his neck and buried my hands in his hair. Kissing him was easy, there wasn't any awkwardness between us. He kissed me like he'd been doing it all his life. he nibbled my bottom lip then soothed it with his tongue. I felt his hand move from my back making a slow trail up to my shoulders, then finally to my face, he slowed his kisses down then, cupping my face in his hands, he worshiped my mouth with his. The need to breath won over, and he regrettably stopped with three quick pecks then laid his forehead on mine.

"I've been waiting all week to do that." He breathed.

I looked up at him, even with his close proximity I could still see him, his eyes were closed and like me, he was struggling to catch his breath. Breaking contact with his forehead I wrapped my arms around his waist and laid my head against his chest. He smelled so good, he felt so good, his arms wrapped themselves around me, and we stood there in my kitchen silently, I think we were both afraid to speak, for fear that we might ruin the moment with words. I felt one of his arms leave me and I looked up at him. He brushed a piece of hair away from my face then touched my cheek with the tips of his fingers.

"What's going on in that head of yours, beautiful?"

I grinned at the name, he'd started calling me that ever since our first kiss that morning. I liked it. No one's ever called me that before and the fact that Edward does makes it all the more better.

"Just thinking how good having your arms wrapped around me feels. How easy kissing you was." Amazingly enough I said that without blushing once. It must be Edward, I think with him I can be more of myself. I'd of never been able to say that to any other guy without turning 50 shades of red. Edward grinned at me and his grip tightened, not that I minded. He kissed me again, this time more chastely and led me towards the door.

"Come on, I've got the night planned out, and as much as I'd like to stay here all night a kiss you senseless, all my hard work would be for naught."

I laughed, "We can't have that now, can we? Lead the way, good sir!" He offered his arm and I looped mine through his as we made our way outside to his car. As we stepped outside I looked for the Volvo, not seeing it. Edward steered me a few feet away toward a black sleek car that I'd never seen before.

"Where's your Volvo? Did you trade it in or something?" Edward laughed slightly.

"No, I guess I have 2 cars technically, I don't drive this one except for special occasions, I was a graduation present from my dad. Emmett got one too." The car looked expensive and fast. I was almost afraid to sit in it.

"What kind of car is it?" I had no clue about cars but, I figured it was the polite thing to ask.

"An Aston Martin" He spoke the name with an almost reverence. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. Boys and there toys.

"So, where are we going?" He'd been quiet about what we were doing, only giving in to Alice so she could help me dress for tonight.

"Nope, still not telling, you'll find out when we get there!"

Next chapter up sometime tomorrow, hopefully! I just wanted to give you guys a little something! As always leave me some love and Welcome to any new readers!
