Alright, here is chapter 2, it is called: Unsure.

Bella Swan

I couldn't believe I was actually flirting with this guy. Usually I would ignore any guys who would try to flirt with me because I knew once they found out about Lucy they would freak and back off. I hated setting myself up for disappointment. For some reason, I wasn't able to stop flirting with Edward. Maybe it was the fact that he was a single dad who was pretty much in the same situation as I was. Maybe it was due to the fact that he was gorgeous; I didn't know and I didn't care.

Sometime throughout our flirting, we had arranged a play date and I was surprisingly excited for it. I was excited that my daughter might make a new friend and excited that I would get to spend time with Edward again.

The waitress came back to the table asking if we needed any refills. I just asked for more water and Edward ordered a Diet Coke. He had a few beers already and I assumed he was cutting himself off of alcohol for the rest of the night.

"So, Bella, are you in school?" Alice asked from next to Edward. I had almost forgotten the others were there. I hadn't really spoken to them for most of the night because I was too wrapped up in Edward.

I nodded. "Yeah, I go to the University of Washington. Unfortunately, I can only take two classes. It's hard to be a college student with a child," I replied before taking a sip of my newly refilled glass of water.

"Bella has to take night classes so Emmett or I will be home to watch Lucy," Rose added taking a sip of her own drink.

"That must be exhausting," Edward commented. "Especially when you try to do projects or homework."

I nodded in agreement. "It gets tough, but Emmett and Rose help me," I said.

"Edward had to hire a nanny to take care of Jackson while he was at work. She's on vacation right now, though," Alice chirped, grinning between Edward and me.

I didn't know what Edward did. I had been talking to him for about an hour and I didn't know his profession. "What do you do, Edward?" I asked quickly.

"I am a writer for a column in my father's magazine, but sometimes I freelance write. I took time off while my son's nanny is away, though."

Wow, he was a writer? "Holy crap, that's what I'm going to school for – to be a writer. I would prefer to write novels though, but that is amazing!" I was practically bouncing in my seat. "What magazine does your father own?"

"Cash. It's the entrepreneur magazine. I write the parenting column though, like how to fit your kids in your busy lifestyle and making sure they come first," he replied with a soft smile.

Of course I had heard of the magazine. I hadn't read it, but it was one of the most popular magazines in the country. I think Emmett got it in the mail, actually. My brother was trying to start his own ad agency, but for the time being, he worked at someone else's ad agency as an assistant.

"That's amazing, Edward!" I exclaimed with a smile.

"I love that magazine, but I rarely read the parenting article, no offense man," Emmett said with a chuckle. Edward chuckled as well.

About an hour later, Emmett and Rose were ready to call it a night. I, honestly, was having a great time and didn't really want to say goodbye to Edward. Then, I remembered that I had a daughter to get home to and I was able to get out of my seat and bid Alice, Jasper, and Edward goodbye.

"I'll call you sometime this week," I promised Edward while Rose and Emmett were busy with Alice and Jasper.

He grinned at me. "Call soon, I can't wait for our kids to meet," he paused. "Plus, I can't wait to see you again."

I knew I was probably smiling like a goofy idiot by now, but I didn't care. "I will call you soon, I promise," I muttered, still smiling.

Emmett and Rosalie dragged me off a few moments later, basically pushing me into the backseat of Emmett's Jeep.

Once Emmett had started driving, Rose turned almost completely around in her seat to stare at me. I was still grinning like a fool.

"So what happened in there?" she asked curiously.

I bit my lip. "Whatever do you mean?" I asked, playing dumb just to piss her off.

She rolled her eyes. "You and Alice's cousin, Edward. That's what I mean. I haven't seen you flirt like that since you were nineteen or twenty."

I shrugged. "We are both single parents. I guess we have that in common."

She, again, rolled her eyes at me. "Is that all you talked about?" she asked.

"We talked about our kids a bit, I mean, they are important to us. I found out he was single."

"Anything else?" she asked anxiously.

"Uh, I'm supposed to call him to set up a play date for Lucy and his son, Jackson."

She let out a laugh. "Sounds like it's more of a play date for you and Edward. When are you going to call him?"

I shrugged my shoulders. Did it really matter? "Tomorrow, probably."

Rose looked horrified. "Jeez, eager much? You have to wait at least three days, Bells," she said.

"I thought that was just for dates?"

"Well, this is a play date. It has 'date' in the title. I mean, shouldn't the rules be the same? Make him wait a little before you call to set up your kids for sandbox playtime while you blow him behind the bushes."

My eyes widened. "That is totally not going to happen, Rose." She was talking about me like I was some carefree slut. I hadn't even been on a date with a guy since before Lucy was born. Why would she think I would get behind the bushes with Edward so soon? Jeez, with the way I was thinking, I wanted to get Edward behind the bushes at some point.

Rose giggled. "Whatever, you know you're horny. You haven't been with a guy since Mike, right?"

I blushed, wishing that she wouldn't say shit like that with Emmett in the car. I mean, he was my brother after all. "Uh, no," I responded in a soft whisper.

"Jesus, Rosie, I don't want to hear anything about my sister's sex life," Emmett began. I was about to throw my arms around him; he was saving me from talking about sex with his girlfriend. "Or lack of a sex life," he added, letting out a loud laugh.

I scowled at him, wishing I could punch him without getting us in a car accident. I would have to wait until we got back home.

Emmett pulled up in front of Mike's apartment building a few minutes later, still chuckling to himself. I rolled my eyes and headed to the main building where I had the bellmen buzz Mike's apartment.

I waited in the lobby until Mike emerged from the elevator with our sleeping daughter in his arms. I quickly took her from him, glad to have my little girl back, before thanking him for watching her. We awkwardly said goodbye before I hopped back in Emmett's car, putting Lucy in her car seat next to my spot in the back. She was still sound asleep, so no one talked the rest of the ride back to the house trying not to wake her.

When we got in the house, I silently carried my daughter into her room and put her in her crib.

"I love you, Lucy," I said to her sleeping form before kissing her on the forehead then tiptoeing out of the room to get some sleep.

The next morning I woke up to giggling coming from the living room. I smiled, recognizing Lucy's giggling mixed with Emmett's voice as I got out of bed and threw a sweatshirt over the tank top that I had worn to bed before exiting my room.

When I reached the living room, I found Emmett sitting on the floor next to Lucy drawing a picture. Emmett was horrible at drawing, but he would always try to draw what Lucy wanted when she asked him too.

"Mommy! Uncle Emmy's drawing me a princess!" Lucy squealed before getting up and running towards me.

I smiled and picked her up, kissing her on the cheek. "That's awesome, baby. Is he doing a good job?" I asked, grinning at my little girl.

Lucy shook her head and giggled. "No," she squeaked. Emmett grumbled something from his place on the floor.

"I'm trying my best," he said, still hunched over the piece of paper.

I suppressed a laugh as I took a few steps forward, Lucy still in my arms, and looked over Emmett's shoulder. When I saw what he drew, I couldn't hold back my laughter and neither could Lucy. It was a stick figure with hair drawn around its head that looked like an afro; it also had a very unflattering dress drown around its thin body and circles for feet and hands.

Emmett looked up at us and glared, obviously mad that we were laughing at his horrible drawing skills. I set Lucy down and snatched the picture from the floor, getting an even better look at it.

"Oh, Emmett, I'm so proud of you! This is going on the fridge!" I said, mimicking our mother's voice. I actually sounded a lot like her.

Emmett chuckled at my impression, and Lucy decided to jump on his back, declaring him a pony. I jogged off to the kitchen, picture still in hand, to make breakfast. I giggled when I actually put the picture right on the top center of the fridge after quickly scribbling in the corner 'Emmett Swan, age 26'.

I pulled out a frying pan and grabbed some eggs and cheese from the refrigerator, deciding to make eggs for everyone.

"Hey Em, is Rose still here?" I asked, wondering how many eggs I should make as I turned the stove on.

"Yeah, she's still sleeping," Emmett called back from the living room.

I nodded and began cooking.

Emmett entered the kitchen just as I was adding the cheese to the scrambled eggs I was making. I looked over at him and gave him a soft smile waiting for him to get what he wanted from the fridge or whatever else he wanted. Instead, he leaned against the counter next to the stove.

"You need something?" I asked, moving the eggs around in the pan.

"When are you going to call Edward?" Emmett asked with a smirk. It was only nine in the morning and my brother was already asking about Edward.

"I don't know," I replied as I turned off the stove since the eggs were ready and began diving them up onto four plates. I had thought about Edward a lot last night before I went to bed. Sure, he was handsome, but he was still a stranger. How the hell did I know he wasn't a serial killer?

"Bells, I know that look. You're looking into this too much. You're coming up with crazy theories about this guy," Emmett said, still leaning against the counter.

I narrowed my eyes at him before handing him a plate of eggs. "Shut up and eat. I'll call him if I want to. Leave me alone," I growled, grabbing my own plate and Lucy's small plate and headed for the living room.

Emmett followed. "Come on, Bells. You guys have a lot in common," he said.

I rolled my eyes. "Em, we practically only talked about our kids. I don't really know anything about him."

"Well then, find out. Call him. Don't be a chicken."

"Quiet, Emmett," I said as we reached my daughter and I handed her the plate of eggs. I plopped down on the couch and began watching some strange cartoon Lucy had on and Emmett plopped down next to me.

"I just don't want you to regret it later," my brother said softly.

I looked over at him and gave him a soft smile. "I just don't know if it's something I should do right now. I mean, if I knew him better, maybe, but he's a stranger."

Emmett rolled his eyes. "He's not a rapist or serial killer, if that's what you're thinking. He's Rosie's brother's girlfriend's cousin. He's a good guy."

I sighed. "I'll think about calling him."

Edward Cullen

It had been a week since I met Bella, and she still hadn't called. To say I was disappointed was an understatement. I was devastated. Luckily, my son's nanny came back and I went back to work, so that took my mind off of a lot. Still, she was always in the back of my mind. I really wanted to get to know her and meet her daughter; and have my son meet her and her daughter.

"I can't believe she hasn't called you," Alice squeaked that night when she and Jasper came to visit after I got out of work.

I shrugged, trying to hide my total disappointment. "Maybe she was drunk that night and doesn't remember."

Jasper laughed. "She drank water the whole night. Bella hates to drink," he said.

Alice looked over at Jasper and smiled. "Do you have her number, Jazzy?" she asked in a syrupy sweet voice.

"Maybe," he replied.

"Oh for fuck's sake, give it to Edward so he can call her!"

I shook my head. "Alice, I don't want to push her. I gave her my number, if she wanted to set this up, then she would call. She probably just changed her mind about the whole thing."

Jackson rushed out of his room and over to me. "Have you seen my transformer car guy?" he asked, his voice sounding extremely worried.

I nodded and pointed over by the TV. "He's right where you left him," I said, ruffling my son's hair before he ran off to gather his toy.

"But she was so into you, Edward. She sounded so excited about the play date too," Alice muttered, jutting out her bottom lip at me.

"I guess you and I were both wrong, then," I said softly.

"No, you guys were right. Bella was into you that night. I haven't seen her act like that since she was with Mike. She's probably just scared because she hasn't let a guy into her life since her ex, let alone into her daughter's life. Trust me though, she really liked you," Jasper said, stretching his arms over his head and giving me a look.

"She may have been into me then, but that doesn't mean she hasn't changed her mind. She probably doesn't even want me in her life after she actually thought about it," I murmured.

Jasper shrugged. "I've known Bella for a while, Edward. Her brother and my sister have dated for six years. Hell, I graduated with Bella. She over thinks everything, plus she's stubborn. She probably thinks that her daughter doesn't need friends or anyone else in her life. Plus, she hardly knows you."

I was about to say something, but Jasper spoke again. "Oh, and she's probably convinced herself that you're a terrorist or some shit."

I chuckled before rubbing my hands over my face. "What the hell am I supposed to do?" I asked Jasper.

Jasper smirked at me. "Edward, did you forget that I am the brother of her brother's girlfriend?"

"No."

"Good," he paused. "We are going to go over there tomorrow night."

My eyes widened. "I can't do that! She's probably regretting coming up with the play date idea."

"Yes you can. Just get a baby sitter, it will be fine. Emmett already invited us over for a movie night."

"And you didn't tell me this why?" I asked, frustrated.

He shrugged. "I guess I like seeing you all upset and shit," he said.

The next night, I stopped back at home to make sure Jackson's nanny, Laura, had everything she needed and that my son was happy before I changed and left for movie night.

Jasper had given me directions and told me that Bella had no idea that I was coming. I hoped she wouldn't freak out when she saw me and accuse me of murdering puppies or some shit.

I sighed and pulled up to the curb when I reached the small town house that I assumed was Bella and Emmett's. Jasper and Alice parked behind me a few minutes later. I hopped out of my car and met them on the sidewalk.

"Are you sure this is a good idea? I don't want to give her a heart attack. She might think I'm stalking her," I said, looking up at the house. It was dark out, so the windows were lit up with a warm glow.

Jasper shrugged. "It's an amazing idea, let's go."

Jasper led us up the front steps and knocked on the large wooden door, ringing the doorbell at the same time. A few moments later, Bella's brother, Emmett, threw the door open and let us all in.

The room we had entered appeared to be the living room. There were two tan couches pushed against two walls, making an 'L' shape. A coffee table was placed in front of them and it was littered with coloring books and magazines. There was an archway over on the far wall, which appeared to open to the kitchen. A staircase leading upstairs was right next to the archway.

"Bella and Rose will be down in a minute. They are just putting Lucy to bed," Emmett announced before plopping his large body down on one of the couches.

Honestly, I was a little sad that I wouldn't get to meet Lucy, but it was after eight in the evening and the little girl had to be tired.

Alice and Jasper dove onto the empty couch, snuggling up to one another. I took a seat on the cushion far away from them. I silently hoped that they wouldn't attempt to procreate in front of everyone, but you never knew with Alice and Jasper.

A few minutes later, Rose came down the stair, grinning at everyone before sitting next to Emmett. "Bella will be down in a minute, she's just changing into some pajama pants," she said.

Bella would look sexy in PJ bottoms, I thought to myself as I heard footsteps coming from the upstairs, and then heard those same footsteps come down the stairs.

I turned my head right when she had landed at the bottom of the stairs. She was wearing Hello Kitty pajama bottoms with an over-sized Beatles t-shirt. When she noticed me sitting there, her eyes widened.

"Hi Bella!" Alice chirped from her place on the couch.

Bella kept staring at me, dumbstruck, before finally looking to Alice and Jasper and smiling. "Hey guys," she said with a small smile, before walking toward the TV and asking what movie we were going to watch.

Rosalie practically demanded we watch 'Clueless' because it was her favorite movie. Emmett wanted to watch 'Rocky' and Jasper wanted to watch some movie about the Civil War.

Bella sighed. "What about 'Garden State'?" she asked, pulling the DVD off the shelf and waving it around. Luckily, everyone liked that movie, I mean, it was hard not to like. Bella popped it into the DVD player and grabbed the remote from the TV stand before settling down next to Rose on the couch.

Even though I did like the movie, I was pretty much watching Bella the entire time. I noticed that whenever there was a cute moment between the two main characters, Bella would grab a chunk of her hair and twirl it between her fingers. When it was a sad scene, she would hug onto the pillow that was resting on her lap. It was all quite adorable.

Bella stood up suddenly and looked around the room. "Would anyone like something to drink?" she asked, her eyes avoiding mine.

"Sure, got any water?" Alice asked with a grin.

Bella nodded. The others asked her to get them water too, I, however, didn't say anything. I just watched her walk into the kitchen.

A few moments after she had disappeared behind the archway, Jasper elbowed me. I raised an eyebrow at him.

"Follow her. Talk to her," he whispered, pointing towards the kitchen.

I nodded before quickly standing up and walking into the kitchen. She was digging through the fridge, fishing out water bottles. She lifted her head and put two water bottles on the counter when she noticed me. She jumped.

"Oh, you scared me!" she squeaked. "Did you want something to drink?"

I nodded slowly and took a few more steps toward her. "What do you have other than water?" I asked.

She smirked and opened the fridge a little wider; I moved closer and took a look inside. There was beer on the top shelf that I assumed belonged to Emmett. There were a bunch of fruits and vegetables, tupperware containers filled with food. A lot of the food looked healthy.

I noticed a pack of juice boxes near the bottom of the fridge, smiled, reached down and grabbed it. "Is this okay?" I asked.

She nodded. "That's fine," Bella said.

We stared at each other for a few moments, before she decided to break the silence. "I've been meaning to call you," she admitted, her blush coloring her cheeks.

I smiled. "I've been waiting for your call," I said.

She blushed harder. "I guess I was a little nervous. I've never set my kid up on a play date before. It's kind of new to me, letting people who are practically strangers into my life, and into Lucy's," she said softly, glancing up at me every so often.

"It's okay, I understand. If you don't want to do the whole play date thing anymore, that's okay."

She shook her head. "No, I still want to do that. I want my daughter to meet someone her own age." She paused and looked up at me. "Plus, I want to get to know you better."

I grinned down at her. "You busy tomorrow afternoon?" I asked.

"I have to work at eight in the evening, but before that I'm free," Bella answered.

"Play date tomorrow afternoon then?"

She smirked. "That sounds great."

I grinned at her. Finally, the play date was going to happen. I couldn't wait.

A/N: Okay, the play date will definitely happen in the next chapter, but you still got some B/E interaction. Anyway, I just wanted to let the readers of my other stories know that I am not giving up on those stories, but I just really wanted to start this one. Don't freak on me! Alright, the playlist and banner for this story are up in my profile. Check them out and please review!
