Went on a 6 hour long walk in flip-flops yesterday.. Not smart. I'm sore, I'm pretty sure my feet will bleed, and I don't think I'll be able to get up out of this chair :/ I also never knew how hard it was to come up with a decent baby name… I spent like a hour last night going through baby names and now I'm pretty sure my mom thinks I'm pregnant.. Joy.

"Aaron Zachary Mason! You're gonna get it when I catch you" Note that I mummbled the last part to myself; I could never hurt my little boy. No matter how much he got on my nerves. His little head poked out from behind the counter, messy brown hair falling into his bright green eyes. He gives me a grin before taking off. I swear he's going to be a marathon runner.
He took off into the living room and I watched as he collided into Emmett. "catch him!" I screamed at Emmett. He looked up at me in confusion, effectivly losing Aaron. I scowl at Emmett and we chase after him. "Aaron baby! We're only going to the doctors for a little! You know what that means dont you?" He looked up from behind the couch, clinging on to poor buster. Buster is a bobtail kitten we got a few weeks after Aaron was born. Yeah they're peas in a pod.
"can we bring Bwuster?" I shake my head and give him a sad look. "that's why we should quick go so you can come home to Buster quicker" He looked down at Buster who was hanging from his arms, yet looked content. "he doesn't like it when I leave him mommy. He gets nervwous" I reach for Buster and pull him out of my sons arms, after the cat's set down it runs away. I grab Aaron before he can chase after him. Got to admit. The cat's a good actor.
"Bwuster!" he screams, flailing in my arms. "e's gonna hurt 'mself" I looked at the clock, scowling. We were supposed to leave 15 minutes ago. I sighed "fine we can bring him. He stays in the car though" Aaron smiles at me and squirms out of my arms, going the way Buster left. He comes back a few minutes later, Buster in tow.
I put Aaron in his car, making sure it was on tightly. Dont want him to escape again. I shuddered. I put Buster in his crate thing and buckled it up. I climbed to the drivers seat and buckled up before driving out of the driveway. "mommy Buster wants music" I knew by Buster he meant himself.
"what kind of music does Buster want?" I ask, looking back at him through the mirror once we arrive at a stoplight. "ten little indians!" I was internally stabbing myself. I put the CD on. And waited for Aaron to join in singing.
"John Bown had a lwittle Indian, John Bown had a lwittle Indian, John Bown had a lwittle Indian, One lwittle Indian boy. One lwittle, two lwittle, three lwittle Indians, Four lwittle, five lwittle, six lwittle Indians, Seven lwittle, eight lwittle, nine lwittle Indians, Ten lwittle Indian boys. Ten lwittle, nine lwittle, eight lwittle Indians, Seven lwittle, six little , five lwittle Indians, Four lwittle, three lwittle, two lwittle Indians, One lwittle Indian Boy."
It continued over and over again, I dont even remember putting it on repeat! When we arrived to the doctor's office I quickly turned off the offending music. "can Bwuster come in with us?" I groaned. "no honey, it's a doctors office" he squealed "exwactly! he needs a checkup!" I look back at him.
I find myself walking into the doctors office 3 year old in tow, carrying a cat. scratch marathon runner. Make it con artist. The nurse gives me a "I-feel-bad-for-you-but-fuck-your-own-you-own" look. Thanks. I walk up to her and tell her who we are. She types it into the computer before looking up at me and showing me where I can sit. I nod and go to our assigned seats.
"mommy can I play with Bwuster?" I shake my head, staring at a picture of two smiling toddlers with their smiling parents behind them. Yeah right. "why not" he whined. "cause we cant" he pouted but sat down next to me, swinging his feet. Thankfully a nurse called our names and we were lead to a doctors room.
Aaron thankfully gets distracted by some toys and forgets all about poor Buster. The door opens and I try to keep breathing as Edward walks in. His eyes lock with mine and I swear he smiles a bit larger. "nice to see you again Bella" He holds out his hand, indicating for me to shake it. Pass that up? Fuck no. I grab his hand and leisurely shake it, embracing the sparks that shoot up my arm. "you too" I respond.
His eyes go down to where Buster was laying on my lap, he let his eyes slowly trail back up to mine. Is it getting hot in here? He raised a eyebrow, smirk on his lips. Yes, yes it was getting hot. "No cat, no Aaron." I sighed in disdain. He chuckled. Quiver. Aaron looked up at Edward. "Edward!" He launched himself into Edward's arms, like the long lost son and father they were. Tears pricked at my eyes.
I wiped the stray tears before they noticed. "come on buddy" Edward grunted as he lifted him onto the examination table. "so you're getting a few shots today" he said carefully, as if trying to talk a lion out of attacking him for his flesh. Aaron shrugged "ok" he's always been ok with shot's. I wonder if his daddy is afraid of them. I eye Edward. "can Bwuster sit with me though? e' wants to know i'm ok"
Edward looked down at the sleeping cat on my lap. "sure buddy" Yeah that was his nickname for Aaron. Buddy. My stomach clenched. I handed Buster to Edward, purposely brushing our fingers. Once Buster was placed next to Aaron he was all set to go.
4 shots later we were getting ready to leave the office. Aaron ran out, Buster in his arms. I was about to leave also when I felt a tug on my arm. I looked back to a nervous Edward. He was shuffling his feet and pulling his hair, a trait that was passed on to his son.
"I dont usually do this but Bella?" Edward looked at me through his eyelashes, dazzling me. I found myself nodding, unable to speak verbally. "do you want to go get coffee or something sometime?" I bit my lip and blushed. "I'd like that" Edward grinned and pulled out a piece of paper and pen, "um here's my number. You can call me and we can discuss when" I took the piece of paper, still bright red. "talk to you soon Bella" he whispered. "see you soon Edward"
By the time we go home I was ready to explode from excitement. Aaron ran into the house, Buster leisurely following. I took more after Aaron this time. I ran into the house and began searching for Alice or Rose. I found them with their kids in the play room. They sat there gossiping sitting at the tea table while Lily, Alice's daughter. Played with Felix. Aaron soon joined them as I respectively joined the adults.
I sat down, a huge grin on my face. "guess what" they turned to me with wide eyes. "Edward asked me out." Eyes could open that wide? "Edward as in baby daddy Edward" Alice whispered. I nodded. They both shot up squealing "oh my god its going to be a fairytale! Edward is going to realize Aaron is his kid and you two are going to fall in love and get married!" que the sqeauls.
Succesfully longer?
