Chapter 3

"Mr. Perfect"

So four days later I found myself in a very spacious, exclusive apartment in downtown Seattle. Mike was at his new office getting 'comfortable', leaving me to unpack what seemed like thousands of boxes with a restless four year old running around.

My first priority was the kitchen, my favorite room of any house. This is the one room I refused to let Mike touch in any way. Earlier this morning he thought he would be nice and offer to unpack the kitchen things, knowing I would never let him.

"Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!" Hannah screamed as she ran into the kitchen. She collided with me and started pulling the hem of my shirt down.

"Yes Hannah," I said trying to stay calm for her. It wasn't her fault she was hyper and I had loads to do.

"I'm bored, Mommy, let's play," she tried to suggest as she stepped back and threw her arms down in defeat. "I want to go home. This place isn't very fun."

"I know it's not fun right now, honey. But I have to unpack so this place can feel like home," I said turning around to unpack more boxes.

"Fine," she sighed deeply. I felt guilty for all of this. She's just four and wants to play, but she can't because of Mike. I looked at her as she pouted and put her head down, making her most adorable pouting toddler ever. You would have to be heartless to not to find that look irresistible. So being the push over I am, I kneeled down in front of her to compromise.

"How about you let Mommy unpack some more while you start unpacking some toys, then we can go for a walk and find a place to eat?" I proposed. She looked up with a wide smile, nodding her head excitedly. And without another word, she ran off to her new bedroom.

Finally I could unpack in some peace, but that only lasted for about an hour and a half, which was just long enough for me to unpack everything for the kitchen. As I was putting the last dish in the cabinet I heard a loud crash come from Hannah's room.

"Hannah!" I yelled running toward her room.

"I'm okay!" She shouted back slightly muffled. When I made it to her room, I found her upside down in one of her boxes with her legs kicking wildly trying to right herself. I chuckled as I went to go pick her up.

"What happened?" I asked still laughing as I pulled her into a hug.

"I went to get Teddy, but he was at the bottom. So I tried to climb in. Then I fell in with Teddy and couldn't get out," she recalled with a small smile forming.

"Are you hurt?" I said. She just shook her head. At least I don't have to feel guilty for laughing at her now.

"Come on, silly girl. Get your shoes and coat so we can go on that walk."

Once I announced this she squealed and squirmed out off my arms, hurrying off to get ready.

After Hannah was ready to go, we started walking toward what I expected to be a good place to eat. I was surprised by the amount of people. Sure we were downtown in a major city at lunchtime, but this was just an ocean of people. I quickly grabbed Hannah's hand, becoming the paranoid mother.

That is until heard my phone start ringing and I went to search for it in my bag.

"Hannah, don't move," I commanded as I let go of her hand and finally found it.

"Hello Rose, what do you need?" I asked trying to zip my bag up again.

"I was going to take Hannah off your hands once I get off work. I know you need some peace in order to get settled," she said.

"That would be wonderful. Just let me tell…" but I stopped when I looked up and didn't see Hannah. I craned my neck to look over the swarm of people. I immediately felt the pounding of my heart. I was aware that my stomach was in my toes, as sheer panic started to settle in.

"I have to go," I raced through. It was becoming unbelievably hard to breathe as my chest continued to tighten the more I looked around.

"Hannah!" I yelled looking around frantically. But with the amount of people, it was impossible to see. I knew I was hyperventilating by this point, but could care less.

My heart dropped when I saw her pink coat lying in front of me. I ran over and picked it up, trying to get x-ray vision to see through the people. Visions of my baby lying in a dark alley, crippled, and hurt killed me, and I sped up my search.

"Hannah!" I yelled again. I looked around until my eyes stopped at a man running through a busy intersection pausing to bend over to get something off the ground. When I saw brown curly hair in his arms, I didn't hesitant to run after him. But I was shocked when the man stopped at a corner and put her down. I watched, still running, as he kneeled down and started talking to her.

"Hannah!" I screamed again, but this time her head snapped over to me. I crushed into a hug as soon as I was close enough.

"Oh, thank God," I whispered into her hair. I pulled away to look into her tear filled eyes. "Never do that again," I said sternly as I tried to not cry.

"I'm sorry Mommy," she mumbled as the tears spilled over. I picked her up as she buried her face into my shoulder.

But then I suddenly remembered the savior of my daughter and my sanity.

"Thank you so…much," I murmured because as soon as I looked into those piercing green eyes, I forgot the world, my name, everything. All that matter was this good-looking man staring intently back into my eyes. Thankfully, he recovered and reached his hand out.

"Edward Cullen," he said in a sinfully intoxicating voice while I shifted Hannah so I could shake his hand.

"Bella, um" I paused. "Swan," I hurried to say as I took his hand. I was mesmerized by how perfectly my hand seemed to fit into his, and the electric shock that registered throughout my body after such small contact was made.

I felt Hannah's eyes on me. Of course she would pick up the fact that I changed my last name. I was just praying she wouldn't say anything.

"It was nice to meet you, Bella," he stated in a voice that made me weak in the knees.

"My pleasure, and thank you again, Edward. I don't know what I would have done if I would've if something would have happened to her," I said shaking my head. I noticed he was still holding my hand. I just didn't notice before because it seemed so natural and right to be holding his hand.

"Mommy, can Edward come to lunch with us?" She asked looking up at me with her wide blue eyes.

"Oh, but Hannah I'm sure Edward's very busy," I responded to her. I instantly regretted saying it when her face dropped. She looked like I just kicked her puppy.

But then she unleashed the puppy dog look to Edward, complete with a pout and her sad eyes. I looked over at Edward to see his face soften, and I knew within the first five minutes of meeting her, she already had him wrapped around her finger.

"If you don't mind, Bella, I'm actually heading out to lunch right now. And It would be my honor to take two beautiful ladies to this café I know," he said with a crooked grin that tore my heart to look at. Why can't my husband look like him?

So we set off and walked in a comfortable silence, until Hannah managed to squirm out of my hold. Edward quickly grabbed her hand before she could run in front of us. I gave him a small smile to show my thanks, and then grabbed Hannah's other hand.

"Edward, what do you do?" Hannah asked breaking the silence.

"I'm a doctor," he said with an easy smile. She looked up at him with an awed expression, she really was too adorable.

"Well, that's a good thing, because Mommy gets a lot of boo-boos," she stated simply, causing Edward to chuckle slightly as he looked over at me. I felt the familiar heat go to my cheeks. Oh the ways my child can embarrass me without trying.

"It's true, when God made me, he was more than likely tipsy or borderline drunk," I joked with a sly smile. I watched in amusement and tried not to drool as his head when back and all around me his musical laughter filled the air.

After a few more minutes of him chuckling, he looked at me and smiled. "And what do you do?"

"Right now, stay at home Mom, but I have a teaching degree and I would love to teach again. It's that or work in a library. I really love books," I said smiling to myself.

"I definitely pegged you for a reader," he said.

We chatted easily as we ate. It just wasn't normal how comfortable everything was around him, and Hannah just adored him. That was obvious when she looked intently at him whenever he was talking.

We were interpreted by my phone, of course.

"Hello, Rose," I answered glancing over at Edward.

"What was with the panic attack earlier? I would have called sooner, but Emmett came home for lunch," she said. She would get distracted by Emmett. That is so not a visional I want.

"Hannah ran off," I responded hoping she wouldn't make me elaborate.

"Is she okay? Does Mike know?"

"She's fine, and why would I tell Mike," I said still looking intently into Edward's green eyes. His eyes broke contact as he looked at my left hand and he zeroed in on my ring. He looked back to me and he had a small smile playing at the corner of his mouth. He leaded into Hannah and whispered something into her ear.

"He's kind of her father," she stated as though I was stupid. But I didn't really pay attention because Hannah was answering Edward's question in a loud voice.

"Its okay, Edward, Mommy doesn't love Daddy anymore. I think she likes you," she said smiling widely.

"Rose, I have to go. Call you later," I said cutting her off and throwing my phone into my bag.

Edward returned his focus to me and smiled. "So you are married," he stated simply, still smiling at me.

"Not for long, Edward," Hannah said trying to get him to focus on her again. "Auntie Rose is making Mommy get a di-force," Hannah said. My eyes widened and Edward just looked at me and his smile grew. He knew what she was saying.

"Look at the time, Hannah, we need to get back so I can finish unpacking," I said quickly. Edward chuckled, but then we both reached for the bill at the same time. I felt the shock go through my body like before. Not wanting to make things awkward, I hurried to break contact and snatched the bill.

"You saved my daughter's life, it's the least I can do," I said.

"But I save people daily, so truly it was just another day for me," he said with a smile, reaching for the bill.

"No," I said as I went to pay.

"Are you always this stubborn?"

"Yes," I said with a smirk and turned to pay.

"Well, since you didn't let me pay, I will be walking you back to your place," he said as we all walked out of the café.

"You really don't-"

"I won't take no for an answer," he said smiling that crooked smile.

"Are you always this stubborn?" I asked repeating his words from earlier. He laughed, but nodded his head.

We chatted about anything and everything. All too quickly, I looked up to my apartment building and sighed heavily.

"I had a good time," I said quietly.

"Me too, and hopefully I'll see you sometime soon," he said and my heart swelled. Why am I married to Mike again?

I just nodded, not trusting my voice, and hurried to pull Hannah into the building.

"Naptime," I said to Hannah and she nodded grimly.

As soon as I heard her shut her door, I whipped out my phone and went to my room.

"Rose, I think I found the perfect man," I declared happily.

Let me know what you think!!
