Chapter 13

BPOV

The two weeks following our date night were amazing and before I knew it we were on our last day of classes before Christmas vacation. Edward was still hobbling around on his crutches but he could at least put a little weight on his leg so he wasn't as dependent on them anymore, he got excused from last period a few days a week to go to physical therapy to work out the muscles that were strained so I drove myself on those days. Now that I was graduating in a few months I had relinquished my position as head tutor so that had freed me up a few days a week which was nice because Edward didn't have football practice or required workout sessions anymore. On the days that I did stay after school tutoring, Edward would go offer moral support and advice to the team while they were practicing or coming up with strategies. We had worked out a rather nice routine and where one was you could usually find the other one not far from that spot and I actually wasn't bothered that I had become part of one of those couples.

Edward still hadn't played the piano for me but I wasn't pushing it, I figured he had something special planned to reveal that to me or his nerves were getting the best of him. We had settled our Christmas vacation plans when our parents called and said they weren't going to be able to come into town for the holidays. We were going to spend our vacation in Boston with Jasper, Alice, Rose, and Emmett. Carlisle and Esme were going to be there on the actual holidays, which was nice because I had quickly come to think of them as my substitute parents. Edward and Jasper were going to show us their old stomping grounds. We had the presidential suite with two adjoining rooms that hooked onto our living space booked at the Fairmont Battery Wharf hotel and were all excited to get there and begin having fun. "You ready, baby?" came Edward's silky voice from the tutoring room's doorway.

I looked up and smiled. "Just a minute, Casanova, Stephanie is taking a make-up test for Mr. Darby." I told him and he nodded in return.

"I'm done, Bella, thanks for doing this." Stephanie said as she turned in her test. She leaned down and whispered in my ear. "You guys are so cute together."

I laughed out loud and nodded. "Thanks, Steph, have a great break. Give that baby of yours lots of kisses for me. She's so adorable." I told her as she grabbed her bad and headed out. She smiled and nodded as she walked through the doorway. She had missed a few weeks of school when she had her little girl and was trying her best to catch up on the work she had missed and keep her grades up so she could graduate with us in May.

I packed up my books, placing Steph's test in the drawer before locking it and heading for Edward who was watching me intently. "You are so sweet. You ready to get out of town for a few weeks?" He asked as I locked up the door.

I slung my bag over my shoulder and headed for my car that we would be leaving at the airport while we were gone along with Jasper's truck and Emmett's jeep. Just as I was sliding in the driver seat my phone started ringing with the generic tune so I had no idea who was calling me. I slid my finger across the screen and pressed the speakerphone button as Edward hobbled around the car sliding into the passenger seat setting his crutches beside him. "Hello?" I said curiously.

"Isabella? Is that you sweetheart?" came my mother's voice through the phone. I hardly recognized her voice, it has been almost a month since I had heard from her or my father. They had contacted us via Skype for Thanksgiving but other than that no contact besides the money to pay the bills and our allowances that were automatically placed into our checking accounts.

I rolled my eyes causing Edward to chuckle quietly beside me. "Yes, mom, it's me. I'm kind of in a hurry at the moment though, what's up?" I asked her quickly linking my fingers with Edward's.

She cackled on the other end of the phone causing me to cringe. "You always was a busy body, Isabella. I was just calling to let you know that your father and I are sending yours and Alice's presents tomorrow so you should get them by Christmas."

I sighed in frustration because it would have been nice to hear that they had found a way to come into town for the holiday but no, they were just placating us again with presents. "That's fine, mom. We aren't going to be in town anyways. We are going on a trip with some friends of ours and their parents." I told her honestly and she just laughed.

"Okay, whatever you say sweetheart. Just be safe and have fun. I have to run." She said and before I could respond I heard a beeping in my ear signaling that the call had ended. No I love you. No Merry Christmas. No Happy Holidays. Nothing but a beeping dial tone.

I laid my phone in my lap and hung my head as tears sprung to my eyes despite my frustration and rapid blinking. "It's going to be okay, beautiful. Carlisle and Esme are coming to Boston for Christmas eve and Christmas day." He told me trying to cheer me up.

I smiled and swiped at my cheeks as I lifted my head and looked at him. "I'm so glad. I never knew how disappointing it would be to have them actually confirm that they weren't showing up. I love Carlisle and Esme and I would much rather be spending the holidays with all of you guys instead of my mom and dad."

He smiled and nodded. "They are excited too. They love you, Alice, and Rose all three like the daughters they always wanted but never had. I forgot to tell you that we are invited to the Snowflake Gala for the children's hospital that my mom used to work at."

I groaned. "Are we going?" I asked him softly.

He smiled and nodded. "I would like to, my mom and dad started the yearly gala to support their charity when she was still a resident but now the children's hospital carries it on it my mother's name since she was the head pediatric surgeon before she died."

I laughed and nodded eagerly. "I think that is fabulous but you are going to regret forgetting to tell Alice and Rose when you do let them know. They are going to want to kill you for not giving them more notice to find a dress." I told him and then instantly regretted saying it because I didn't know if they were invited or not. "Are they invited to go too?"

He laughed and nodded. "Of course, Esme called and reserved us a whole table last week. They asked that I give a speech in honor of my parent's legacy that I am contemplating on. Let's get going, we don't want to miss our plane, sweetheart."

I quickly put the car in gear and sped out of the school parking lot and headed for the airport since everybody was meeting us there. "Do you want to give the speech?" I asked him as we drove towards the airport.

He shrugged while running his fingers through his hair. "I do but I don't know what to say. I knew her as my mother not as some famous and fabulous doctor. She was always just my mom whether we were spending time together at the hospital at home or the opera house. Same with my father, he was just my dad who took me to ballgames and the park and supported me when I didn't want to play sports because I loved music so much." He admitted honestly. Since I had had tutoring today and Edward was sitting in with the coaches and a few of his teammates we had packed our suitcases last night and put them in the trunk this morning so we didn't have to stop by either house for anything.

"Just tell them that. Tell them about your mother and father, not some famous and fabulous doctor's they know, just the mother and father that you knew, loved and miss so very much." I suggested as he grabbed my hand and rested them on his lap.

He smiled and nodded. "Okay, I think I can do that."

Three hours later I was standing on the curb of Logan Airport staring at a bright red Suburban. "Is this monstrosity ours?" I asked Edward who was standing beside me supervising the loading of the luggage since he wasn't supposed to strain his leg.

He nodded with a huge grin on his face. "Yeah, it's the only thing besides a minivan that will fit all of us."

I groaned and hung my head. "I don't know if I can drive something like this." I said waving my hand at the huge SUV.

Emmett saved the day as he picked me up and spun me around. "Don't worry Belle, I'll handle the driving while we're here."

I just laughed as he sat me on my feet. Edward smirked at me as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders. "That means that we can sit in the back seat and make out." He whispered in my ear.

I just shook my head at him as Alice and Rose barked orders at Jasper who was loading our entire bounty of luggage into the rear of the ride. "Do we get second or third row seating?" I asked him as I ran my hand along the waistband of his jeans underneath his leather jacket and sweater.

He groaned. "Behave and we will get third." He said into my ear quietly.

I giggled but nodded and smartly kept my mouth shut and stopped running my fingers underneath the edge of his jeans. We did end up in the third row and called it for the whole time we were in Boston. On our way to the hotel I felt Edward tense up as we stopped at a stoplight that seemed like it was a major intersection. "What's wrong, Casanova?" I asked him quietly.

He sighed. "This is the way from my old house to the opera house I was performing at and this is the red light that my parents died at." He said pointing to our right.

I nodded and snuggled into his side. "It's going to be okay, Edward. Tell me a happy memory about going to the opera house?"

He sighed and closed his eyes trying to remember. "We went all the time not just for my performances but to see shows too, we would always stop a few blocks down this road at Gino's Frozen Treats and get whatever flavor ice cream I wanted. It didn't matter if it was raining or snowing or burning up outside, we always stopped and got the biggest cone of ice cream they offered." He said as a small smile appeared on his face at the memory.

I smiled as he recalled memories of him and his parents. "Maybe when the baby is older, we can bring it here, take in a show, and have some of that awesome ice cream." I told him quietly.

He smiled and nodded. "I'd like that. I love how you include yourself in our future."

"I wouldn't dream of not being there, I told you I'm not going anywhere. Have you heard from Eleazar lately?" I asked him as we drove on through Boston as Jasper pointed out things and places that he used to spend time at.

Edward shook his head. "Not since that initial call and email. The doctor emails every Friday afternoon with a new sonogram picture and an update on the baby. I haven't gotten one today yet." He said just as his phone started beeping.

"Maybe that's him." I said as I shifted so he could grab his phone from his pocket.

Edward nodded and showed me the email from Dr. Shrum, the OB/GYN that was in charge of the baby's care while Tanya was locked up. "Do you have any headphones with you?" He asked as he opened the email and saw an attachment.

I nodded and dug through my bag and pulled out my lime green headphones handing them to him. He plugged them into his phone handing me one and tucking the other in his ear as he hit play on the attachment.

"Mr. Masen, this is Dr. Shrum. I just performed the weekly ultrasound on a Ms. Denali and baby Masen. The baby is growing right on schedule and is gaining weight like it should be. Everything seems to be going great so far. There are two ultrasound videos attached below. The first one is just a basic ultrasound and the second one shows the sex of the baby if you are interested in knowing what you are having. Ms. Denali didn't want to know but since this is the only communication I have with you, I figured I would give you the option of knowing or not. Talk to you next week, Mr. Masen."

"Well that's good, at least there doesn't seem to be any harm being brought to the baby. I think I would murder that psychotic bitch if she harmed that baby needlessly." I told him as he scrolled down the email that contained the details of the doctors' appointment and ultrasound until he came to the two attached videos. "Do you want to know what you are having, Edward?" I asked him quietly when he paused without selecting one.

He shrugged and looked over at me. "Do you want to know what we are having?" He asked stressing the 'we'. I smiled broadly at his statement because every time we talked about our future we talked in we's and us's and our's not mine's, I's, or your's. I wanted to be this baby's mother but it wasn't my place to insinuate that I was or could be. I smiled and nodded. "I do. I don't think I could stand the suspense of not knowing for five more months." I told him excitedly.

"Me either. Let's look and find out what we are having." He said as he quickly clicked on the second ultrasound video and we watched in fascination of seeing the development and movement of the baby. 'I'm a boy!' popped up in the corner and I looked at Edward with tears in my eyes.

He looked up at me with tears pouring down his cheeks. "Oh, baby, it's going to be fine. You are going to have an amazing son to share some amazing memories with." I told him cupping his cheeks in my hands tugging his lips to mine.

We kissed passionately until Emmett stopped at the hotel. "Okay, it's time to give the lips a break you guys."

I tugged my lips from Edwards with a laugh. "Shut it, Em, if you were back here with Rose we would all need to be deaf and blind to survive the trip." I told him as Edward rearranged his now tight jeans.
