IITS ch26
A/n: Tissues...I'm telling you get the tissues now!
BTW: Kendall is about 14 months old...I screwed up the timeline somewhere I think:)

This is exactly the life I should have; a wife and child out for a friday night family dinner.
I watched Bella and Kendall as they went down the tunnel slide and their laughter warmed my heart.
I felt a longing stir deep within me, a need to have this, a need to have them. They are what have been missing from my life.
If only I knew what Bella was hiding or why she still seemed so sad.
I needed to know but I refused to push her to tell me. If and when she ever wanted to tell me, I would listen and offer her whatever help that I could.
They both waved to me as they climbed the stairs again and I couldn't help the grin that came over my face.
While I was still a little nervous around Kendall, she took to me easily, she even refused to sit anywhere but in my lap while we ate our pizza.
With her sparkling blue eyes and long brunette ringlets, she was just as adorable as her mother. I could easily fall head over heels for that little girl...and her mother.
I fought back my own tears as they squealed coming down the slide, again. I walked towards them with a smile on my face.
Kendall squealed and grabbed my legs, "up...up..." She pled and I couldn't help but pick the toddler up.
"Edward?" Bella said as she noticed the wetness in my eyes but I tried to bury my face in the little girls neck when she wrapped her arms around me.
I felt Bella's hand on my cheek and it sent a bolt of lighting straight through to my heart, it felt like it was beating for the first time in years with her single touch to my face.
Her eyes searched mine and I minutely shook my head.
I knew in that moment that everything had changed between us.
I prayed it could stay that simple.
A/n: See, I write my ideal man...and it keeps me from dating the losers that RL has to offer ...isn't he precious?
See ya soon.
