A/N: Quick update for you lovely people i hope you enjoy:)
Disclaimer: I own nothing of twilight.
The week passed in a blur, I saw Edward almost every day for at least an hour. I still had yet to invite him to my place or go to his but I wasn't ready for that yet, and I was so grateful that he was willing to take it at my pace. I finally found someone that I could connect to and open up to and it thrilled me more than anything. Edward was also amazing with Roderick he treated him like his own and it was amazing seeing Edward interact with him.
Today was Friday and Roderick and I were headed to Seattle to see my dad and his wife Sue for the weekend. I rarely drove anywhere but I did own a '98 ford Taurus, it was a piece of crap but it got me to where I needed to go.
I packed two changes of clothes for Roderick and me in a suitcase and shoved it in the back of my ancient car. I strapped Roderick in his car seat in the back. I gave him a few toys to play with; I knew he would get board on the three-hour trip to Seattle.
"Do you need to go potty before we leave? I don't want to stop right away." He shook his head no. I closed his door and climbed in the front seat buckling in. I put the key in the ignition and tried starting the car. It made a loud noise and wouldn't start. I tried again and it hummed to life. It didn't sound completely right but I just brushed It off.
We were about an hour into the drive when the car stalled and turned off. I hurriedly put it in neutral and coast to the shoulder of the highway. I tried starting it at least twenty times but it wouldn't do anything. I punched the dash, and smacked my head into the steering wheel in frustration.
"Mommy what's wrong? Why aren't we drivin'?" he sounded scared.
I turned around in my seat so I was facing him. " Mommy's car isn't working right but its okay baby it will be fine." I took my cell phone out and texted Emmett.
Emmett I don't know what to do my car stopped working. –B
I waited at least fifteen minutes and when he didn't text back I started to cry a bit. I tried to hide it so I wouldn't scare Roderick any more.
"Mommy I need to go potty." How could this get any worse? I was stranded on the highway with a scared three year old that had to pee. I couldn't think of anyone else who could help me but Emmett. Wait! Edward!
Edward I really need your help my car wont start and I'm on the highway half way to Seattle and I'm terrified. I don't know what to do and Roderick is starting to get really scared. Please, please help me. –B
Not even a minute later he texted back.
I will be there as fast as I can. Try and hold it together for Roderick. –E
I almost screamed with joy but I still had a toddler in the back seat that has to go potty.
"Baby can you wait to go potty for a little bit?" He shook his head yes but I knew he couldn't last long. I got out of the driver seat and went around to sit in the back with him. I unbuckled him and he climbed into my lap burying his face in my hair. I rubbed soothing circles no his back. I couldn't help but let my tears fall. This was a trip from hell.
I cried silently the entire hour waiting for Edward to reach us. When I saw his silver Volvo pull up behind me even more tears fell from my eyes. He looked so concerned. I opened the door and held Roderick as close to me as I possibly could. He was crying loudly and clinging to me.
Edward ran to me and immediately pulled me to his chest. He wrapped his arms around Roderick and me. He ran his hand through my hair and tried to sooth me as I cried into his chest.
"You're okay, I'm here. " He whispered sweet nothings into my ear trying to calm me down.
"Mommy I really need to go potty." Roderick cried into my neck. Edward rubbed his back soothingly. He went to my car and took the car seat out of the back and strapped it into his car.
"Are we ready to go?" He looked at me for an answer.
"No, our stuff is in the trunk." I signed. He nodded and went to the trunk of my car opening it and grabbing the huge suitcase and carrying it to his trunk. He shoved it in and walked back to me wrapping his arms around my small frame. He hugged me to his chest
"Lets get Rod to a bathroom." He kissed my hair and opened the passenger door for me closing it when I sat down. He walked around the front of the car got in and started it. We pulled into the closest rest area to let Roderick go potty. He was still crying but not as bad as before. He almost didn't make it to the bathroom.
"I'm so proud of you baby. You were such a good boy today i know it was scary." I hugged him.
"What does this mean mommy." He signed proud. I hesitated how did I tell him what it was.
"That means proud little man. Your mommy wants you know that you did so good at staying calm today when it was really scary." I smiled up at Edward. He shot me his crooked grin.
"Oh. Are we still going to see grandma Sue and grandpa?" I looked at Edward with my eyebrows raised.
"That's up to Edward, since mommy's car is broken."
"Of course you are going to see grandma Sue and grandpa." I looked at Edward shocked. I stood up and picked Roderick up.
"You don't have to do that." I signed one handed. Edward held his arms out to take Roderick from me. Roderick willing went into his arms.
"No I don't, but I want to. If you don't mind of course." I nodded
"Thank you so much. You don't know how much this means to me."
"It's no problem at all plus I want to meet your parents." He winked at me. He kissed my forehead. The feeling of his lips on my skin was amazing. I craved more. I grabbed his hand as we walked back to his car.
The rest of the trip was uneventful I texted Sue, my dads new wife, that I had some car troubles and a friend who helped me out was coming with me. She was excited to me Edward. Sue was an amazing woman, she was perfect for my dad and she really accepted me for who I was.
Roderick fell asleep twenty minutes before we pulled into my dad's driveway. Edward turned off the car and squeezed my hand. We got out of the car Edward grabbing our bag and me getting Roderick. Charlie opened up the door the second Edward leaned in and kissed my forehead. He looked like he was about to kill someone when he saw Edward.
