Authors Note: I promised you more regular updates and I am trying so here is another chapter for you all. A big thanks to all those who read the last chapter, and who added my story to their alerts and favourites. An even bigger thank you to lileycullen for her kind words on the last chapter. Anyway on with the chapter:
Saturday 21st September 2011
So it seems that our letters are becoming a weekly occurrence as opposed to daily one but I have too much to do on a daily basis. Even more now that me and Edward have started dating. We have been out twice now, one was earlier today and we took you along with us. Most people wouldn't have classed today as a date since all we did was take you to the park and then to the diner for milkshakes. The day was perfect. Me and Edward had our first sort of fight. I mean it wasn't a full on fight he just got really annoyed because I failed to mention one thing to him. It is not like it is an important day, although he debated that. So on the 13th it was my birthday, and Edward well, he got pretty stressed that I didn't tell him.
Earlier today he brought me round a present and told me that since we had failed to celebrate on my actual birthday he was going to celebrate it today. He told me last night to be ready by 9am this morning and that he was taking the three of us out for the day. So I got us both ready for 8.45 am just incase he was early like he normally is. I was right you know, he turned up at 8.50 with a huge bouquet of flowers. As well as that he had a huge bag full of stuff. I invite him inside and he asks if he can put something in the fridge. Of course I oblige, I go to follow him into the kitchen and he stops me. "It's a surprise," he says "for your birthday." I huff but I know that there is no way I am going to argue with him. Instead I go and grab my stuff so that we can go as soon as he is ready. "It's a nice day so I thought that we could walk, it would be good for you both to get some fresh air." he shrugs as if leaving the choice up to me. I giggle "yeah walking is fine," I reply.
We get you into your pram and hang the baby bag on the handles. With everything set we head of down the street. We start to walk down the road next to each other, normally we would hold hands but I am not really great at driving the pram yet. Eventually we reach the park. Edward laughs "I know she is too young to actually you know enjoy the park but I thought it would be nice to just walk around and I could maybe push you on the swing and it seemed child friendly and..." he is rambling and it is cute but I feel the need to stop him. "Edward, the park is fine, it is really sweet that you thought of Aimee too." I bite my lip. Edward pulls my lip from between my teeth. He winks at me and takes the pram heading towards the swings. When we reach them he parks the pram by the swings and gestures for me to take a seat. I sit on the swing and he starts pushing my higher and higher. For a short time I feel like a kid again, I feel really and truly free. Both me and Edward are laughing like kids. After a while you make yourself known not that I can blame you it is time for food. We go and sit on a bench so I can feed you, Edward gets out his camera and takes a shot. I giggle. After you are fed and burped we decide to take you on the playground. I sit on the swings with you on my lap and Edward takes tons of photos. Then I slide down the slide with you in my lap and again Edward takes photos. An old lady comes along and Edward asks if she can take a photo of the three of us together. She obliges and takes a couple of photos of all of us together.
After the trip to the park Edward takes us to the diner to buy milkshakes. We sit in a booth with you on my lap and Edward across from us. We have our milkshakes and laugh together. After we finish our milkshakes he leans over the table to kiss me. This is only the second time he has kissed me, but it is just as good as I remember, not that you need to know that. He checks his watch, "we need to head back now, is that okay?" I nod and we head back home. This time though Edward walks behind me, his hands on the handles of the pram as well, intwined with my own. Together we push you home and things just feel right.
We reach mine and I realise that Edward has something else up his sleeve. I walk in the front door and into the living room. Seven people jump out and shout surprise. Never once in my life has anyone ever thrown me a surprise party but Edward someone I have known for a few short weeks has done this for me. The party only consists of my dad, Edward's family, Edward, me and you but it is perfect. We spend the afternoon chatting and having fun. Edward disappears into the kitchen and comes back in with a cake, it even has candles on it. Everyone sings 'happy birthday', I make a wish and blow out the candles. Then Edward announces that it is time for presents. My dad has already given me his presents so that must have meant that his family must have brought me something. His parents give me their gift first, it is a photo frame. Then Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie give me their present, a box set of classic books. "Edward said you liked them" Alice says with a shrug. I give them all a hug and tell that they are indeed my favourites. Lastly is Edward's presents, he gives me a long box. I open it and in it is a beautiful charm bracelet. There is a charm that says 'mom' with my birthstone in it and a little foot on it that has Aimee's birthstone on it and her name inscribed on the back. It brings tears to my eyes, and I can't thank him enough.
Once everyone has gone I get us both ready for bed and that is where I am now. Me and you lying in my bed whilst I write these letters to you. Part of me thinks that you will never read them, they will just upset you or you will be bored by them. Then another part of me thinks that you will understand me better, and the decisions I make are for the both of us. Also, if Edward does stay a part of our lives the way I want him to then you will understand how we came to be.
Anyway baby girl you will be awake soon for another feed and I should probably get some sleep in before you do. I love you always baby, and that is something that will never change. I will write to you again soon my sweetheart.
Lots of love always and forever,
Mummy
