Sorry this has taken so long. Had hoped to have it up last week but had problems with my internet connection.

Enjoy!

My mom showed up earlier than normal this morning.

"Morning, you're here early," I commented as I kissed her cheek.

"Your dad started at five this morning and I couldn't get back to sleep so I decided just to come over. Give me a chance to catch up with you. Your dad told me about the car but I didn't want to call, it was too late. I also wanted to know about the young man joining us for dinner on Sunday. I met Esme Cullen on Wednesday and she said her boy is smitten with you!" she cackled.

"Mom, it is way to early for you I swear," I grumbled.

"Come on tell me something. All I know is that his name is Edward and your dad thinks he's a good guy because he punched Jacob for talking trash about you."

"He's a photographer. Obviously you know he went to school with me, he's getting divorced right now. He's really, really gorgeous and he's great with Carson. He's just perfect for me. He's sweet, kind, funny. He'll go out of his way to help me. He even bathed Carson last night because I couldn't with my arm. He's wonderful" I finished with my usual blush gracing my cheeks.

"Dare I say my baby is in love?" she asked as I heard his car pull up.

"Not yet but headed that way. Now I have to go. I'll see you later." I said as I left the house before she could ask me anything else.

I loved my mother but I really couldn't handle her interrogations before I had my coffee. I got in the passenger side of Edward's car and he leaned over to kiss me.

"Morning gorgeous," he smiled.

"I am anything but gorgeous at this time of the morning," I mumbled.

"You're always gorgeous to me." he said sweetly as he pulled back out of the driveway.

We got to the shop and he stopped outside as Luciana was unlocking the back door.

"So I'll pick you up at three?" he asked

"If you can. If you're busy I can arrange something else," I answered, not wanting him to feel he has to do these things for me.

"I already told you I wanted to. I'm due at the boutique at ten, I'll work until one and then head back here, pick up my mom's car for the car seat and I'll come get you."

"Okay, but I'm making you dinner to say thank you," I said as I leaned across to give him a kiss.

"Keep them coming and that's thanks enough." he murmured against my lips.

"So, no dinner then?" I teased.

"Well, I'd be awfully stupid to say no to dinner would I not. Now go before I kidnap you and make you spend the day with me," he said as he gave me a final kiss.

I left the car and made my way into work.

"That is one gorgeous guy you got yourself there. Make sure you keep him or I may be forced to help him out," Luciana announced with a wink.

"Yeah, I'm sure Ricardo would be pleased with that" I shot back.

"What he doesn't know won't hurt him," she laughed.

We got down to work and before I knew it it was three o'clock and Edward was here to pick me up.

"Hey beautiful," he said as he gave me a sweet kiss on the lips.

I heard Luciana clear her throat behind me.

"Edward, the loud lady behind me is Luciana Sarti. Luciana this is Edward Cullen, my boyfriend." I blushed.

It was the first time I had introduced him as such and it felt great.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Edward. Bella here has been keeping things quiet." she said as she narrowed her eyes at me.

I just laughed at her.

"It's nice to meet you too. Bella has actually told me quite a bit about you." he smiled his crooked smile at her.

"All good I hope."

"Definitely all good.. She really loves working here." he answered smiling at me.

"Well I'll let you two go. I'll see you on Monday Bella. If you're free tomorrow bring that gorgeous boy of yours by. Tell him Aunt Lu has cookies waiting for him,"

"You spoil him. But I'll try and bring him by." I teased.

We headed to daycare to pick up Carson and then we headed over to Edward's parents house. Rosalie was there and had asked me to stop by with Carson for a visit. Edward went into the kitchen to speak to his mom about the refurbishment of his studio and I headed to the living room where Rosalie was.

"Hi, how are you?" I asked as I sat down.

"I'm good how are you? And how are you little man?" she asked as she tickled Carson's belly.

"We're both good. The boy here had just woken up from a nap so he's hyper right now." I said as I gave him his toy cars out of his bag.

Rosalie got on the floor and started playing with him. There was something about Rosalie that drew me in. As much as we hadn't really spoken in high school I found her really easy to talk to. Don't get me wrong I liked Alice too, I just found her a bit much to take. Whereas most people had calmed down as they got older she had still stayed as hyper and perky as I remembered.

"So, I hear you have a hot date tomorrow night," Rosalie remarked.

"Yeah. Hopefully without the interruptions this time."

"And what, pray tell, was interrupted the last time?" she asked with a knowing smirk.

"Nothing really. We were just on the couch watching tv when Angela called."

"And before?" she raised a perfectly sculpted eyebrow and grinned.

"We never had sex if that's what you're asking. Let's just say he made me feel really good." I answered.

I wasn't one to spill details about stuff like that, not that I ever had details to spill. I could tell you everything there is to know about Angela's sex life but I just felt that details about sex and stuff should be kept between the two people involved.

"Are his fingers as talented as his brothers? Or did he use his nice long tongue?" she asked with a giggle.

"Rosalie! I don't like to talk about stuff like that!" I squealed, turning bright red.

"I don't need details. I just wondered. You two seem so close I thought you were going at it like rabbits!"

"No. Not yet anyway. To be honest I'm a bit nervous. I mean I've literally had sex once and I can barely remember it. I don't really know about Edwards history or anything, like how experienced he is. I mean he was married so he's already light years ahead of me and-" I rambled until she cut me off.

"Bella, Edward loves you for you. Not just to have sex with you. I've never seen him look at anyone the way he looks at you. Not even Giuliana. If, when, you two do sleep together it will be special because it something you are sharing with each other. Now although Edward was married he's only ever been with two people. I'll let him tell you the details but I just wanted you to know he's not the type of guy who's slept around."

Of everything she said one thing stuck in my head.

"You think he loves me?" I asked nervously.

"Yes I do. And I don't think it will be long before he tells you. You can tell by seeing you both together, you love him too you know. Whether you've admitted it to yourself or not."

"I think I do. It just all seems so fast. I mean it has literally been two weeks."

"I know but sometimes it just hits you like that. Don't get me wrong, I had known Em for years before anything happened with us but I do know that when Alice met Jasper it was like lightening. They told each other they were in love on their second date. I'm actually surprised it took Jasper so long to propose." she laughed.

"I suppose." Our conversation was cut short as Edward and Esme came into the room.

We stayed for a bit longer and then Edward dropped Carson and I at home. He was going to spend the night with his family and I had Angela coming over.

"What are we doing tomorrow night then?" I asked.

"I'm not sure yet. I've thought of a few things but I've not decided. Did you have a preference?" he asked.

"I was going to suggest you come over to my place and I'll make you that dinner I promised you. I wasn't sure if you had anything planned though." I answered shyly.

"That sounds great actually. I'll speak to you before then anyway. I'll miss you tonight." He said as he got out of the car to open my door.

"I'll miss you too." I said as he helped me out of the car.

He got Carson out and he promptly ran to the door. I grabbed his little backpack that he took to daycare and my purse.

"If you need a ride anywhere tomorrow just call me okay? Like if you want to take Carson to see Luciana, anything." he smiled.

"Okay. I'll see you later." I lifted up onto my tip toes and kissed him softly

"See you later gorgeous" he said as he held me close.

I walked up to my house and waved as he pulled away.

Later that night as Angela and I were talking about her and Ben my house phone rang. I looked at the screen and saw it was Jacob so I ignored it. The answering machine kicked in and he hung up.

He done that another three or four times.

"Bella maybe you should just unplug the phone. He's just going to keep on," the phone started again, "calling." she finished.

I went over to unplug the phone when he started talking to my machine.

"Bella, why don't you just answer the damn phone. I know you're home. I can see you sitting with your bitchy friend. We need to talk coz you know I am not going to sit back and let you take my son from me. You and your pretty boy boyfriend are not going to play happy families with my son while I'm kept away from him. Pick up the fucking phone Bella!" he kept talking as I unplugged the phone..

I went over to the window and sure enough he was sitting at the kerb in his truck staring in my window. I grabbed my cell phone as I closed my blinds.

"Angela, use your phone and call my dad." I told her as I dialled Edward's number.

"Hey beautiful, are you missing me?" he asked sweetly.

"Edward can you come over? Jacob is outside the house." I said quickly.

"What's he doing? Have you called your dad?" he asked as I heard footsteps on the other side.

"Angela's calling him now. It's creepy. He's called a few times and hung but this last time he spoke on my machine and said he could see me. When I went to the window he was just sitting there in his truck staring in." I heard him start the engine of his car and the tires squeal as he sped away from the house.

"Edward be careful. The last thing I need is for you to get hurt." I warned.

"I'll be fine baby. What's he doing now?"

"I'm not sure I closed the blinds. Wait and I'll go upstairs."

I ran up the stairs into my bedroom. I walked across the room and looked out of the side of the curtain.

"He's still just sitting there. Oh shit, he's getting out of the truck." I said as I saw Jacob stagger out of his truck.

"Run downstairs and make sure all the doors and windows are locked. I'll be there in five." he hung up the phone.

"Angela," I yelled, " Make sure the front door is bolted. And the windows are locked."

I ran into the kitchen and locked the back door as there was a gate from the driveway that took you out back. I checked the windows but knew they were already locked. I heard him pound on the front door.

"Come out, come out Bella, I know you're in there," he yelled.

I motioned to Angela to head for the stairs. We both ran up and I lifted Carson carefully from his cot. Being the sound sleeper he is he didn't wake, he just nuzzled into my neck and murmured in his sleep.

"What did my dad say?" I asked as I lay Carson on my bed surrounded by pillows.

"He said he'd be right over. He was at the station so he shouldn't be too long. Did you call Edward?" she asked as the pounding and yelling got louder.

"Yeah. The speed he's driving at he'll be here first."

I crept over and looked out the window. I saw Edward's car fly up the street. I went over to the bedroom door and unlocked it.

"Oh, you called the boyfriend. Well this should be fun!" Jacob exclaimed as the banging on the door stopped.

I went back over to the window and saw Edward jump out of his car. Jacob staggered over and tried to throw a punch at Edward but completely missed. Edward swung back at him and Jacobs head flew to the side as Edward's fist connected with his jaw. He then hit him in the ribs and pushed Jacob down on the ground. He was talking to him but I couldn't make out what he was saying from up here. Jacob tried to get up but was either to sore or too drunk so he sat on the grass. My dad showed up then. I made my way downstairs after asking Angela to stay with Carson.

As I reached the front door and opened it I heard Jacob yell to my father,

"I want him charged with assault."
