No update last week guys sorry, but come on it was the school holidays! I hope this chapter will make up for it.

Not so friendly family dinner

EPOV

I woke up the next morning the happiest I had been in a while, knowing I had two beautiful girls under my roof to take care of made me feel complete and I knew I would do whatever it took to keep them with me for as long as possible. But if that was to happen I would have to make an impression on their lives for one there was sure to be any man waiting to take them off me and I could not let that happen. They were mine now, my family. A light bulb lit above my head a spark in my brain it was mothers day today and what we always did as kids was make mother breakfast in bed so i decided that was what I would do with a little angels help of course.

Silently so not to wake Bella up yet, I opened the guest room door and sneaked over to the left side of the bed where I could see Ava huddled underneath a pile of blankets. The heating was so high in this house at the moment I did not know how she was not boiling, yet that was little kids for you was it not.

"Ava!" I shook her gently waking her up grabbing her tiny arm when she nearly flung it in Bella's eye.

"Come on we are going to make a nice gift for Momma." She tenderly wiped the sleep out her eyes and gestured for me to pick her up.

Carrying her into my spotless kitchen I placed her on top of one of the kitchen counters. When moving into this house it was my pride however with my work hours I hardly got to cook and usually resorted to takeaways or going to my parents or siblings houses invading their privacy. Getting the ingredients for pancakes and bacon I set Ava up with making a blueberry sauce for flavour and to match the real fruit that would be going into the pancakes. For a two year old she was pretty talented and in the back of my mind a vision occurred of a aged Ava in a restaurant cooking for hundreds of people. Speaking of her age I remembered I needed to ask Bella when their birthdays were making it my mission for this year to be both of their best ones yet. Presenting the breakfast was the hardest I was a man after all. With my bachelor status I could never master making things look delicate and pretty so the best I could do was reach out of the cupboard some of the left over party confectionary from Elise's birthday party a few months ago conveniently Rosalie and Emmet decided to hold it at my place so they would not have to deal with the mess that follows young children around or as they said because my flat was bigger then theirs. I also added a few freesia's next to the plate as that was what Bella always reminded me of with her smell.

Getting Ava down of the counter whilst holding the tray was not easy, why didn't I get her down then pick up the tray? I hear you ask well not every one has that use of logic unfortunately that was me. Eventually though we made it to the guest room before Bella awoke even though I wanted to wake her up calmly and maybe even with a quick kiss like last night I just could not refrain myself, Ava took off and jumped onto the bed right in Bella's middle winding her in not so nice manners.

"Ava!" I whisper yelled at her "that was not nice, what do we say?"

"Sorry Momma but me is excited I made you breakfast." Bella's eyes shot to me in surprise and a smile graced her beautiful lips making me want to kiss them even more and a small gasp left them as she noticed everything I was holding in my hands. Placing the tray on her lap I could not help but notice the quick smell of the flowers she took before digging into the food. The moan that left her lips at the first bite made ungentlemanly things happen to my body, I had to think of an excuse to get out of there beofre she could notice.

"Come on Ava, lets go have a wash and find some toys to play with whilst mommy gets ready." That ought to do it a nice plausible excuse looking over my back as I excited the room I reminded Bella of the mother say lunch we had at my parent's house later in the day.

After a few hours we were waiting by the door getting ready to go to my parents place, I had shocked myself with how able I was getting Ava ready in the morning it made me love her even more knowing I could take care of her. A small smile had never left Bella's face throughout the drive I loved it and I vowed there and then that I would never do anything for that smile to disappear.

"Nonna" Ava screamed out of her window before the car had even stopped and Esme raced down the steps of the house not wanting to wait for her latest grandbaby either it was clear on what an impression Bella and Ava had made on our family already.

"Have you come for food darling?"

"YEAH!" I silently wondered if this kid was related to Emmet it was clear she loved her food just as much as her did.

Trying to regain my gentleman status I had so shamefully lost earlier I held the door open for Bella and not being able to resist did not release her hand all the way form the walk from the car to the dining room where the rest of the family were waiting peacefully for us. The lose of her hand from mine when we sat down almost made me cry out in protest so much so that I did not notice that we had a guest sat at our table.

"Tanya!" I yelled I did not want to make a scene yet it was inevitable.

"I told you to get out yesterday so do it!" looking around at the family seated around me I noticed the grimaces on their faces no one else wanted her here as well all except Rosalie she was smiling gleefully. I should have known they always got on best.

"Leave it Edward, Tanya has promised to behave and rose wanted her here for dinner so let's just say grace and begin to eat." Esme said however you could see in her eyes how much she agreed with me and wanted her out.

"Edward listen to her it's a day to celebrate esme, Rosalie and Alice for being mothers." Bella spoke reassuringly to me and I could not deny her.

"And you my love you are a mother too."

Tanya's eyes flashed to Bella's when she spoke and the gleam in her eyes were instant she knew her and not in a good way, I glanced to Bella and fear spread across her face she even turned green just like she was going to be sick. I was instantly worried and Bella's flashback of remembering which she was going to share to me last night before she started snoring. It was something important and now I wished I knew so I could help but I didn't.

"Ah Belinda was it I have missed you my dearest friend how have you been seen Jacob recently what about Phillip." I growled at the name of Jacob but who was Phillip I guessed he was also bad news in Bella's past. I was not ignorant I knew Bella had not told me everything and why should she I had only knew her a few days, but she's already your life a voice in the back of my mind whispered. Also I was not happy about how she deliberately messed up Bella's name she deserved respect and that was not it.

Suddenly so fast you would not think a human could move so quick Bella stood up kicking her chair out the way as it fell to the floor with a clang she ran out of the open door. Ava immediately stared crying at the lose of her mother and thunder rolled through the air as rain battered down on the windows. Tanya had such a proud look on her face I wanted to react but remembering Esme's earlier words I ran after Bella. At this moment in time finding her was much more important to me,

"Bella!" I screamed into the open air. Where was she? She was my heaven I needed her back by my side.
