I'm really sorry for being AWOL lately I've had a lot of personal stuff going on lately, but I'm back!
While I am working on the next chapter here is some background info on the story. This fic is going to mostly be centered on Bella, Edward, and their son. Some of the other characters will show up now and then, but for the most part it will be just these three. Because of that I wanted to give you the outline of why Edward wasn't around, as stated in the prologue. Since Bella and Edward already know what happened they won't really be explaining it to anyone else since most of the chapters will be between these two. But don't worry I have a method to my madness ;) enjoy!
ONWARDS!

(BACKGROUND)
Bella got pregnant with Matt when she was 22 and Edward was 26.
Edward was in his last year of medical school. Bella and he had a huge fight when they found out about the baby and Edward enlisted in the military as soon as he graduated. He learned all his medical practicing over in Iraq where he tried to bring medical help to the malnourished children near the war zones.
When the story starts Bella is 29 (almost 30) and Edward is 33. Event bough there are 4 years between them, they still went to school together because their small town of Hope Springs, Texas had one school K-12. They grew up together because their family ranches are neighbors. Edward's family raises cattle and Bella's family raises horses.
Even when Edward went away to college at the University of Texas, he always came home once a month to visit Bella. One of these visits is when the "Pride and Prejudice" incident occurs.
On one of Edward's final visits is when Bella gets pregnant. Bella wants to keep the baby and for Edward to come home when he's done with school to help her raise their child, but Edward starts to feel that all his hard work and future plans will be destroyed. The day after his graduation from medical school, Edward joins the Army.
After 5 years of service Edward leaves the military and starts his internship at a hospital in Austin, Texas. After 2 and a half years of interning the hospital offers him a residency but he declines. Edward has decided it is time for him to go home and right the wrongs he made and to finally meet his son and win back the heart of the only woman who has ever had his. And this where our story starts…
