Chapter 3

I closed my eyes in content before I fell asleep.

"Mama," I small voice echoed in my ear. "Mama, wake up," Carlie whispered in my ear as she lightly shook me.

I slowly turned on my back and rubbed my eyes, "What is it sweetie?" I asked as I pried my eyes open.

"My wish came true!" she whispered in my ear happily.

I slowly propped myself up on my elbows and looked at her confused, "What wish?" I asked.

"I wished that daddy would come out of the picture and he did!" she whispered excitedly to me.

I sat up and looked over her to find Edward sleeping peacefully on his left side. I smiled at him before I looked back at Carlie and smiled at her, "I guess it did."

She wrapped her arms around my neck tight, "I have a daddy now," she told me. I wrapped my arms around her small waist and smiled.

I looked at the clock on the nightstand and pulled away from her. It was already going to be eleven so Edward could wake up already. "Why don't you wake him up," I suggested in a whisper.

She looked back at him doubtfully, "Will he get mad?" she asked in a small voice.

I shook my head with a smile, "No."

She smiled at me happily before she turned back to him. He was facing us so I could see his face perfectly. She slowly crawled over to him and stopped in front of him. I could see the small grin spread across her face as she bent down and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

He stirred a little bit but he didn't wake up. She giggled lightly before she bent down and gave him a long loud kiss on the cheek. She touched his face lightly, "Daddy," he cringed a bit, "Daddy wake up," she said as she lightly shook his cheek.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked up at Carlie. She smiled down at him as she lightly patted his cheek. He looked into her eyes intently before a smile slowly curved up on his lips, "Hey princess."

She giggled as she covered her face. He chuckled lightly before opening his arms up, "Come here."

She pulled her hands away from her face and grinned at him before she wrapped her arms around him, "I missed you daddy."

He wrapped his arms around her and held her tight, "I missed you too princess."

I rested my head back on the pillow and smiled at them. We were actually a family again. Or…now. Whatever.

"I love you daddy," she whispered barely loud enough for me to hear.

He kissed the side of her head, "I love you too."

She pulled away and smiled at him before she gave him a kiss on the cheek. He chuckled lightly sending my heart in a sprint before she turned back to me, "Can we have pancakes today?" she asked.

I pursed my lips and looked up thoughtfully, "Hmmm I don't know," I told her playfully.

"Oh please mommy please," she begged as she clasped her little hands together.

"Okay but first," I interrupted her once she started clapping, "You have to give me a kiss."

She smiled before she leaned over and gave me a small kiss on the lips, "Now?" she asked.

I chuckled lightly as I threw the covers off me, "Okay let's go."

She clapped as she jumped off the bed. She took one step and tripped over her foot, landing on her hands and knees. I quickly ran over to her, "You okay?" I asked.

"I'm fine," she said with a smile on her face before she stood up started walking out of the room.

"I see she got your klutziness," Edward said from behind me.

I turned around and smiled, "Well she had to inherit some kind of trait from me."

"What are you talking about?" he wrapped his arms around my waist, "She's beautiful just like you."

"She got that from you Edward," I told him.

"No she didn't she got that all from you," he said as he leaned his forehead against mine.

"Mommy!" she called from downstairs.

I chuckled lightly before I turned around, "Better go feed her," I was halfway down the stairs when the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it!" Carlie yelled.

I quickly made my way downstairs. "Umm sorry I think I got–," I quickly ran over to Carlie and lifted her in my arms cutting the person off.

"What did I tell you about answering the door?" I asked her as I placed her on my hip.

"Don't answer the door unless you know who's behind it," she mimicked me.

I moved her to my other hip and opened the door wider so I could see who it was. My smile faltered on my face when I saw who it was. Talk about too many surprises in one day.

"Will?" I asked.

"Bella?" he asked as he looked from Carlie to me.

"Yeah…what are you doing here?" I felt oddly happy to see him. After last time I saw him I was sure I'd be sad or mad if I ever saw him again.

"Well I heard you were living back at your old house so I decided to come for a visit," he announced.

"Who is it?" Edward asked from far behind me. I could tell he was making his way to the door.

"We were just about to eat breakfast actually," I told him.

"Oh well maybe I can come by later?" he asked.

"Sure…is Angela with you?" I asked.

"Yeah we just moved back over here," he replied back with a smile.

"Really?" Edward came up behind me and wrapped an arm around my waist.

"Yeah…hey Edward long time no see," he replied back.

"Right back atcha," he replied back with a fake smile.

"Well you should bring Angela with you when you come over later. I haven't seen her in…two years," I said a bit surprised.

"I'll make sure she comes," he replied back.

"Do you have kids?" Carlie asked.

He smiled at her before shaking his head, "No sorry."

She pouted before she rested her head on my collarbone, "Well I guess I'll see you later," I told him.

"Yep…bye," he said as he slowly backed away from the door.

"Bye," I told him before I shut the door.

"He's still going out with Angela?" Edward asked as we started walking back to the kitchen.

"No…he married her about a year ago," I put Carlie down and walked over to the fridge.

"He married her?" he asked surprised.

"Yeah…I know I thought the exact same thing. I don't think she even knows about his old feelings towards me. She actually invited me to the wedding," I started mixing the batter.

"Did you go?" he asked.

"No I had just had Carlie so I was still in the hospital recovering," I replied back.

"Recovering?" he asked confused.

"Mommy can I go upstairs and change?" she asked.

I bent down and wiped away the milk on her lips, "Already?" I asked her.

She looked down and blushed slightly, "I want to dress up for daddy," she whispered to me.

I smiled at her before I kissed her flushed cheek, "Okay just don't make a mess."

She quickly ran away and I stood up and started finishing up the pancakes.

"Bella?" he asked.

"Yeah?" I asked as I placed the pancakes on a plate.

"Why were you recovering?" he asked.

"Oh right! There were some…complications…when I had Carlie," I said staring at the pan a little too intently.

"Complications? Like what?" he asked.

I walked over and set the plate on the table. I turned around and ran my fingers through my hair. I didn't want to make this such a big deal, "Umm hemorrhaging," I replied back.

A/N: Okay so I'm still writing this with no plotline in mind…which is a bit weird for me. Anyways please review!
