Some of you were worried about me glossing over Bella's acceptance of Edward's son so I hope this chapter clears that up for you.

I just got the 10th review so here is a new chapter.

Read, enjoy, and review!

Chapter 15

BPOV

We had been in Boston for four days now and it had been amazing. The couples split up for part of each day to have some quality time together to explore the city before having lunch together and then going to do something fun. Jasper was showing Alice his old stomping grounds and where he had grown up before being adopted by Carlisle and Esme. Emmett and Rose did the touristy thing which didn't really appeal to Alice or myself, we had more personal agendas than being tourists. Edward had taken me to the school he had attended while living here, his old house that he had lived in since he was born up until the night his parents died, along with many of other places that had meant something to him or his parents. I think the oddest place he had taken me was to see his old psychiatrist, Dr. Alvarez or more commonly known as Dr. A, and that is where I found myself at today.

"Edward, do you want to introduce me to the lovely lady with you today?" Dr. A asked as we all sat down in his cushy office. Edward and I settled on the loveseat while he settled in his well-worn leather chair opposite the couch. I had a feeling Edward usually spent more time pacing in this office than actually sitting.

Edward laughed and wrapped his arm around my shoulders tugging me into his side. "This is the one and only Miss Isabella Brandon, my girlfriend, future, and destiny."

I laughed and stuck my hand out to shake the one Dr. Alvarez offered. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Isabella."

I shook my head. "It's Bella please. I've heard a lot about you so it's a pleasure to meet you too." I told him as I settled back against Edward's side.

Dr. Alvarez just shook his head. "I don't know if that's a good thing or not. Edward and I have had a multitude of fights over the years, not all ending good."

I smiled and nodded. "I have heard about some of those fights but I believe it was all for the better. He has turned out to be a wonderful and considerate man."

He nodded. "So update me on your life, Edward. I haven't heard from you in about a year and then you didn't really go into much detail about anything except you were in a relationship that you weren't sure about."

Edward sighed and ran his hand through his hair tugging lightly, he was nervous but had no need to be. I laid my hand on his thigh to calm him down. "Want me to tell him?" I asked him quietly.

He shook his head, threaded his fingers through mine, and took a deep breath. "Within the last month, I ended my long term relationship of over a year because I found out she had cheated on me with multiple men. And to top that off, she's pregnant and a DNA test says I'm the father. I found the most amazing woman I have ever had the pleasure to meet and decided to plan for my future. We have both gotten accepted to a multitude of colleges and are debating on which one to pick to start our lives in. I also got injured again so I decided a to quit playing football and begin playing music again." He said softly giving a brief over view of the past month of his life and it was in that moment that I realized all the changes he has had to go through in such a short amount of time.

Dr. Alvarez nodded. "Okay, let's start at the end and work our way back to the beginning. Is it the same injury as last time?"

Edward nodded. "Yeah, it was a bad tackle, nobody's fault really, just an accident."

"Is there a specific reason you want to quit football when this is your senior year anyways?"

Edward sighed and shook his head. "No, I was told last time that it was a bad tear and could possibly have long term effects if ever injured again. I got lucky this time that it was just a sprain and not another tear. With our son on the way I didn't want to take the risk of it being permanently damaged."

Dr. Alvarez nodded and smiled. "So music, huh? You were so adamant last time that you would never play again because you felt like it was betraying your parents'."

Edward smiled and kissed the side of my head. "Bella got me to see the light. Playing music doesn't have to be about betraying my parents, it can be about cherishing their legacy and being able to pass it on to their grandchild."

"I see. Apparently, Bella, you have been able to get him to see things that I couldn't in three years of seeing and talking to him. Tell me about this baby and breakup." Dr. Alvarez said as he crossed his legs and settled in for the intense conversation that was about to take place.

Edward nodded and gave me a gentle kiss on top of my head. "Tanya, the ex-girlfriend, found out she was pregnant and confronted me one Friday at school about a month ago now. She told me that the baby could possibly be my baby or my best friend, Garrett's, baby. After talking to my friends I found out that it not only laid between me and Garrett but several other guys I either played football with or went to school with. I demanded a paternity test which we done the following day and got the results on Sunday saying that I was the father. That was the same weekend I had built up the courage to finally ask Bella to be my girlfriend and she surprisingly enough said yes and hasn't run off yet."

Dr. Alvarez got a smirk on his face and I heard Edward groan. "So this is the beautiful mystery girl you kept going on and on about in our last few conversations?"

Edward nodded. "Yeah, this is her."

"That's great, Edward. Bella, how are you handling the baby situation? If you are going to be in Edward's life are you ready to take on the stepmother role?"

I felt Edward tense but I patted his thigh to calm him down as I answered that question. "There will be no 'step' about it. If Edward allows me to, I will be the only mother that baby boy knows. Tanya wanted to abort him as soon as she found out about him and Edward had to fight her over it. He gets custody as soon as the baby is born and Tanya's rights are terminated at the same time." I told him honestly.

Edward smiled and nodded his head. "Absolutely, my boy couldn't ask for a better mother than you."

Dr. Alvarez looked taken aback by all that Edward and I had blurted out in just a few minutes. "Wow. I would say that a cheating ex pregnant with you baby that she doesn't want and the loss of football is nothing compared to the fact that you are going to be a father in a few months. Congratulations. Bella, do you not have any qualms or issues on taking all of this on so early in your relationship with Edward?"

I shook my head. "I won't lie and say I'm not nervous or scared but I can see my future with Edward and he comes with this innocent little baby. That baby is innocent in all of this and stepping into the mother role and caregiver role has never bothered me. I have always taken on the mothering role to my sister and all of our friends. If I am honest, it is a little exciting because unlike most teenage mothers I am going into this because I want to. If I didn't want to be in that baby boy's life then I could always break up with Edward and try to move on with my life but I don't want to do that. I am committed to Edward and all that that entails." I said before taking a deep breath.

"Okay then, it sounds like that baby is going to be lucky to have a mother like you. When is he due?"

Edward smiled and proudly said "May 19th."

"Wow, just a few days after graduation isn't it?"

We both nodded. "Yes, we graduate on the 17th. I assume you got your invitation?" Edward asked him.

He nodded. "I did. I would come but my daughter is graduating the same day but I am honored that you would send me an invitation in the first place. What are your plans for the future? Are both of you going to go to college? Live together? Where are you going to do these things at? How are you going to handle raising a newborn, college, and adult responsibilities all at the same time?" Dr. Alvarez said firing all the questions at us at once.

I sighed and looked at Edward to let him answer this question. "I don't know. We've both applied to colleges all over the United States, all the way from California to Maine to Georgia to Texas. I know that with the agreement of silence I have with Tanya's father it will be nearly impossible to maintain that agreement and stay in Chicago." Edward said and I nodded in agreement. I instantly realized his mistake when Dr. Alvarez cocked his head in curiosity.

"Agreement of silence?"

"When Tanya threatened to abort the baby, Edward went above her head to her father who agreed to have her locked away until she delivered the baby. In turn, Edward agreed to not mention their name in connection with the baby. His silence for the baby." I explained.

"Ah, I see. So do you have any hopes of a particular college or city or even state?"

"I personally would love to move to the south. Texas, Georgia, or Florida would be my picks. I have been accepted on a full ride scholarship to Savannah State University in Georgia and a partial scholarship to the University of Florida. Out of the two, I would prefer to live in Savannah, Georgia because of all the history and culture that is there. You haven't heard from them yet, have you Edward?" I boasted excitedly.

Edward shook his head in agreement. "I am waiting to hear from them and I have high hopes of getting my acceptance letters soon. I have searched out apartments, houses, school districts, parks, daycares, and hospitals in both of the areas and would love to raise our son together in a community like Savannah. Gainesville isn't so bad either but I kind of like the idea of living close to the beach."

I giggled at his giddiness. I remember walking in on him doing his 'Savannah research' as he had called it last week after I had gotten my acceptance letter from Savannah State University. "We practically live together now so it wouldn't be that big of a change; we are just consolidating places and adding a baby." I told Dr. Alvarez.

"That's going to be a lot of big changes for you Edward all at one time, how do you plan to handle them?" The doctor asked as he checked his watch.

Edward laughed and wrapped me up tightly. "I have Bella to help me through it all and I have my music, her, and my son to concentrate on. I have started composing songs again and am working myself towards playing the piano too."

Dr. Alvarez nodded with a huge smile on his face. "That is great, Edward. I really am happy for you. I wish you all the luck in the world. I hate to do this to one of my favorite patients but I have a meeting that starts in 15 minutes." He said as he stood up from his chair.

Edward and I stood up too. "I didn't mean to have an impromptu session but thanks for listening doc." Edward said as he hugged Dr. Alvarez.

"No problem, Edward, keep in touch and send pictures of that cute baby when he gets here." He said as he released Edward.

Edward and I both nodded as we were escorted out.

Once we were outside, Edward hailed a cab since Jasper and Alice had taken the SUV for the morning. "That was interesting." I told Edward as I slid into the backseat of a cab.

Edward laughed as he rattled the name of the restaurant we were to meet the others at. "That's Dr. A for you, it never feels like a session. It just feels like you are talking to a friend."

I nodded and looked out the window as the cab zoomed down the street. "What time are Carlisle and Esme getting here?" I asked because they were supposed to get in today since the Christmas gala was tonight.

Edward laughed. "They were supposed to get in around 9 this morning but said they would see us around 4 so you ladies could get ready together." He said as he paid the cab as he pulled to a stop in front of the restaurant we were eating at today, Mr. Bartley's Gourmet Burger's.

I nodded. "I'm sure they have old friends in Boston that they would like to catch up with while they are here for a few days." I told him as we climbed from the cab.

He nodded and we both spotted our friends through the windows laughing at something Emmett had surely said.

Same rule applies, 10 reviews new chapter, otherwise I will see you on Tuesday!
