I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT!

CHAPTER 30

(BELLA)

"Mama, mama!" I sat straight up in bed, Edward snoring next to me. "Mama!" It was Matt, he must have been dreaming. I got out of bed carefully throwing on my sweatpants and tank top and going into his room.

"Mama," He cried reaching his arms towards me.

"What is it Matt?" I asked sitting down and hugging him.

"I dreamed you left and didn't come back," He cried.

"Oh Matt, I'm not leaving you," I whispered rubbing his back.

"Never?" He sniffed.

"Not for a long long time."

"Will you cuddle with me?" He whimpered.

"Sure Matt, slide over a bit."

I laid down next to him pulling him into my arms. "I've got you Matt, just go on to sleep," I said closing my eyes.

"I love you mama," He whispered groggily.

For a split second I thought he was talking about Lauren, when it hit me, he called her mommy. I'd never heard him refer to her as mama. Tears filled my eyes, but I held them back. "Oh Matt, I love you too."

(EDWARD)

I rolled over in bed and realized I was alone. I went into Jaycie's room and she was still sound asleep with her fist popped in her mouth, but Bella wasn't in there. Then I went into Matt's room and found him curled up against her. Matt had the blankets and pillows, while Bella had nothing. I went into his closet quietly and pulled an extra blanket out and gently covered her up. I couldn't keep the smile off of my face as I watched them sleeping. He really loved Bella.

I heard Jaycie start crying and went in to get her. "Good morning angel," I said picking her up and kissing her. I changed her diaper and got her dressed. "Would you like a bottle?" She grinned at me drooling.

Jaycie and I settled down on the couch as she held her bottle. I looked out the window to see the snow starting to fall. "When mommy and Matt get up we can eat breakfast and go outside to watch the snow fall." She spit her formula at me grinning.

"One of these days I'm going to marry your mommy and then I will be your daddy. Then the four of us can be a family."

Jaycie threw her bottle to the floor and tried to sit up. I put her against my chest and burped her as she used my cheek as a teething toy. "I love you to Jaycie," I laughed.

"Morning you two," Bella said coming into the living room and sitting down next to me. Jaycie reached her arms over to Bella. "I love you," Bella said kissing her cheek.

"I think my angel is teething," I told her.

"What makes you think that?" Bella asked.

"She's chewing on everything and drooling like crazy."

Bella pouted. "She's too little."

"Not really," I laughed. "Your baby is growing up."

"I know," She sighed frowning.

"When did you move into Matt's room?" I asked.

"Well, I heard him crying out last night and I went to check on him."

"Did he say anything?" I asked her.

"I could hear him crying for mama and at first I thought he was crying for Lauren. However when he asked me to cuddle with him, he curled up in my arms and said 'I love you mama.'"

Bella bit her lip and I oculd tell she wanted to say something, but she was holding back. "What is it?"

"I've never heard him refer to Lauren as mama."

"He doesn't, he's always called her mommy. I think he was refering to you Bella." I watched as tears filled Bella's eyes. "Honey, don't cry."

"But Edward, I'm not his mom."

"Not biologically, but he loves you and I think he wants you to be his mom," I told her. "But do you want that?"

"Yes Edward, I do."

"Do you have anything going on tomorrow?" I asked Bella leaning over to kiss her cheek.

"Um, grocery shopping with Sue."

"Emmett and I have to run an errand in the morning and I was wondering if you wanted to hang out with Matt."

"Sure," She said smiling. "He could spend the night with me tonight."

"Really?" I asked her.

"Sure, we'd have to figure out sleeping arrangements, but it would be fun."

"What about me?" I asked pretending to pout.

"Depends what time you have to get up in the morning," She laughed.

"Early," I sighed.

"Tomorrow night then, but tonight, if Matt wants to, he can spend the night with me."

"I think he'd be excited," I said. "But are you sure you are up to taking care of both or them?"

"Seriously Edward, I think I can handle them," She replied rolling her eyes. "So what do you and Emmett have going on tomorrow?"

"He needs me to go look at something with him," I told her.

"Oh that's fine, we'll have fun and you can just come over afterwards."

I set Jaycie down on the floor and we watched her play with s small phone that was sitting there in front of her. "I can't believe how big she is," Bella said.

"She's so beautiful," I said.

"I see so much of Jake in her," Bella said softly.

I smiled, Bella was right, she did look a lot like him, but she had a lot of Bella in her. "I see a lot of both of you."

"Daddy, I'm hungry."

I looked up to see a very tired looking Matt standing there. "Cereal?" I asked him.

"Sure," He said wiping the sleep out of his eyes.

"I'll get it ready for him Bella, why don't you talk to Matt."

(BELLA)

"Come here Matt, I have a question for you."

"What's that?" He asked.

"Well, early tomorrow morning, your dad and uncle Emmett are going to run some errands and I was wondering if you wanted to spend the night with me tonight and then we would have some time together tomorrow."

"What did daddy say about it?" He asked.

"He said I needed to ask you," I explained.

Matt looked a little nervous. "Can daddy stay too?"

"I told him that since he had to get up so early he had to stay here," I said.

"Can I call him if I get scared?"

"Of course Matt."

"Okay, can I bring some toys? I know you have some, but they are baby toys."

I laughed. "Of course, we do have some games, but you can bring some toys to."

"Matt, come eat," Edward said.

I watched as he walked towards the kitchen. "You really sure about this?" He asked me.

I walked over to Edward. "Some day, I want him to be my son and I want him to know that I love him like I love Jayc. Yes, I am sure."

Edward leaned down and kissed me quickly. "You already are a mom to him."

Later that afternoon, I loaded some toys and the kids in the my car. I didn't need to leave that early, but I wanted Matt to have some time to adjust to being at my parents house with me, before he went to bed. We said our goodbyes to Edward and headed to my house.

"Bella, when will Jaycie talk?" Matt asked.

"She'll start saying a few words here and there in the next few months," I told him.

"Can I help teach her to talk?"

"Sure Matt, once she can say mama, we'll work on Matt."

"Awesome!" He exclaimed.

I laughed, while he looked like Edward, he reminded me of Emmett. He had definitely spent a lot of time with his uncle.

I parked next to my dad and turned off the car. "Matt, you're going to need to help me get everything."

"I know," He said tickling Jaycie's tummy. "Can I carry her?"

"No, I'd rather you carry your stuff. Sometimes she likes to wiggle around and she's hard to hold."

"I wouldn't want to drop her," He said grinning back at her.

"Bella," He said softly.

"What?" I asked as we walked inside the house.

"When Jaycie goes to sleep, can you and I do something together?"

I looked down at him and realized how shy he looked. "Of course, I know your dad doesn't want you going to bed to late, but I'm sure we can do something."

"Awesome," He said smiling.

"Anything you want to do?" I asked.

"I don't know, play games or something."

"Sure Matt, I'd love to."

"About time you got here, your dad just started the grill and he was wanting me to call you asking when you were getting here," Sue said coming into the livingroom. I rolled my eyes, only my dad would start a grill in November when the snow was in the forecast.

"I thought we would get here early so Matt could play before he went to bed."

"Are you excited about being here tonight?" Sue asked.

"I guess," He said nervously.

"I made you a bed on the floor in Bella's room, I'm sorry we don't have an extra room for you, but I thought you would sleep better being close to Bella."

"Thank you," He said softly.

Jaycie reached for Sue. "Come here sweetheart, why don't we go check on grandpa."

I looked at Matt. "Why don't we put your stuff in my room and we can go outside and you can run around the back yard."

Matt had gotten very quiet, almost as quiet as when I first met him. We went into my room and I put his stuff over on his side where he could get to it. "Matt, it's okay to be nervous and if you want to call your dad, you can at anytime."

"Ok," He swallowed. "What if I get scared tonight?"

"I'll be right here, you can wake me up."

"Can we go outside now?" He asked.

We got outside and Sue had Jaycie in her bouncy seat all bundled up. "Well there he is," Dad said looking at Matt. " I was wondering where you were."

"Hi Charlie," Matt said quietly.

"Would you like a hot dog or a hamburger?"

"Can I have a hamburger with cheese?"

"Sure Matt," Dad said.

"Dad what is it about grilling in November?" I asked.

"Makes me think it's warmer than it is," He replied placing hotdogs on a plate.

"Crazy old man," I laughed.

"It's not snowing," He laughed.

"Oh no not at all, just in the forecast," I replied.

"Will we get a lot of snow here?" Matt asked.

"Sometimes we do," Dad told him.

"My daddy took me sledding last year, we had so much fun."

"Oh Chicago gets good snowstorms," Sue said.

"It was up to my waist," He laughed.

"We'll build a snowman this year if we get enough snow," I told him.

We went inside and ate supper and then I gave Jaycie a bath while Matt stayed with dad watching a game on tv. I got her out of the tub and she started yawning and her eyes fluttered. "Mommy loves you so much," I said as I got her dressed for bed. She grinned sleepily at me. I picked her up and gave her the bottle I had made before bed. She took it, reaching up and covering my hand with hers. She'd barely finished half of her bottle when she fell asleep. I rocked her a few more minutes, then placed her in her crib. "Night angel, we love you."

I went back to the livingroom and sat next to Matt on the couch. Dad was in the recliner and Sue was reading a book in the corner. I smiled as I looked down at Matt, he was fitting in perfectly with us. I never in my wildest dreams would have thought he would be like a son to me that first time I met him.

"Want to play a game?" I asked him.

"Can I watch this game with Charlie instead?" He asked.

"Sure," I laughed.

Matt slid over and laid against me. "I like football," He whispered.

"I like baseball a little better," I replied.

"Matt don't let her fool you, she's not into sports at all," Dad said.

"I want to play baseball or basketball," Matt said.

"Have you ever played?" Sue asked looking up from her book.

"Just with daddy," He said.

"Well, we'll have to see if we can get you signed up in the spring," Dad told him.

"That would be awesome!" He exclaimed.

I glanced at the time. "Matt, you should probably call your dad and tell him good night."

"Do I have to go to bed?" He asked.

"It's time to start getting ready," I said.

He sighed. "Alright."

"Come here buddy," Dad said. Matt walked over and my dad hugged him. "Night son, sleep well tonight."

"Night Charlie," He said hugging him back.

I watched as he hugged Sue and then glanced back at me before heading to my room. "I'm going to tuck him in."

"Hey Bells," Dad said.

I turned around. "What dad?"

"When can he call me something other than Charlie?"

"I don't know," I said.

"Well think about it, because I want to take him to the station and show him off like I have Jaycie."

"I'll see what I can do about that," I said smiling.

I peaked in at Jaycie who was sound asleep, then went into my room and found Matt already in his shorts and t-shirt that he usually slept in. "Who is that?" Matt asked holding up a picture.

"That is Jake, Jaycie's dad."

"Was he nice?" He asked.

"Very, he was my best friend."

"Is my daddy your best friend now?" Matt asked.

"I have a lot of friends Matt, but he's right at the top."

"Why is his hand on your stomach?" Matt asked looking at the picture.

"I was pregnant with Jaycie," I replied.

"You don't look like it, I have lots of pictures of my mommy pregnant with me and you can tell."

"Well, I wasn't very far along, only about 3 months, it was right before he died," I said softly.

"I'm sorry Jaycie didn't know her daddy."

I hugged Matt knowing that this conversation wasn't easy for him either. "You are an awesome kid and I know that your mommy would be so proud of you."

"I want you to marry daddy so you can be my mommy," He said.

No matter how many times we'd had this conversation it still made me happy. "Some day Matt," I assured him.

I reached for my phone and called Edward, then handed the phone to Matt. "Hi daddy," He said climbing into my lap. "Charlie grilled out hot dogs and hamburgers." There was a pause. "I'm sitting on Bella's lap, talking to you," He laughed. I loved hearing him laugh. "Okay daddy, I love you to. Here's Bella."

"Hello," I said taking the phone.

"He sounds like he's having a good time, but did Charlie really grill?" He asked.

"Yep, that's my dad for you," I laughed.

"I'm not going to lie Bella, that's awesome."

Matt yawned loudly leaning back against me. "I know a little boy who is getting very sleepy."

"I bet, is he really okay?"

"Yes Edward, he's fine," I said.

"Ok, I'll let you get him to bed. I love you Bella."

"I love you too, and if I need you or Matt needs you tonight we will call."

"Thanks love," He said.

I tucked Matt into his bed on the floor. "Are you comfortable?" I asked.

"Very," He said hugging his bear tightly.

"If you need anything you can wake me up," I reminded him.

"I love you Bella," Matt said sleepily.

"I love you too," I said kissing his forehead.

I turned off the light and cracked the door.

"Do you think he will be okay?" Sue asked as I sat back down on the couch.

"I think so," I said.

"I'm off work tomorrow, I know you and Sue go grocery shopping on Saturdays, but why don't you leave Jaycie with me and take Matt and go have some fun with him," Dad said.

"Are you sure?" I asked him

"That boy loves you Bella, I think it would be a great idea."

Sometime in the night, I heard whimpering that wasn't coming from Jaycie and I sat up. "Bella," Matt whimpered.

"What is it buddy?" I asked flipping on my bedside light.

"I need to go potty and I don't remember where it is," He whimpered.

"Come on Matt, I'll show you." I lead him down the hall and waited outside for him to finish up.

"I'm done," He said quietly.

I picked him up and carried back to my room. "Can I sleep with you?" He asked.

"Matt, why don't you sleep down here, I'm right here," I said.

"Please, I'm scared."

"Alright, get your pillow and bear, then get up here."

He scrambled into my bed and curled up next to me falling asleep instantly. I ran my fingers through his hair as I watched him sleep wondering what him and Jaycie's future brother or sister would look like. I hated to admit it, but I was really wanting a baby with Edward and not sure I could wait much longer.

AN-YOU ALL ARE ALL TOTALLY AWESOME! I LOVE AND APPRECIATE EACH AND EVERY REVIEW I GET!
