Afternoon Aimee, Edward is here at the moment and is currently laying next to me cuddling you. The reason for that is that this morning we were discussing how to cope with the emotions that come with being a mother. I was explaining to Edward about my letters to you and how they help me to work through my emotions. He asked if he could read them and I told him I would think about it. I mean if I allow him to read them I show him every flaw that I have. It will also, show him all the feelings that I have for him. So in the meantime I need to continue working through my emotions. My therapist wants me to start working through emotions in my past. I have decided to start at the beginning. It all started about half way through my Sophomore year...

I was bullied a lot in Phoenix and had very few friends. I was therefore, completely shocked when the most popular guy in school asked me out. James Hunter was everything a girl looked for in a guy. He was good-looking, sporty, smart and sweet. Or so I thought. He had blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. He always wore the latest designer clothes and was always immaculately groomed. I suppose he looked the complete opposite to Edward who always looked like he just rolled out of bed in the good-looking way. James was in all of my classes and had never said so much as a word to me.

One day I was sitting at lunch with my two friends going over my history notes when he strutted, yes strutted over. He asked if he could talk to me in private so of course I said yes. He walked me out to an empty corridor. He gently brushed his fingers against my cheek and I remember feeling the heat rise across my face. I was blushing brightly and that thought made me blush harder. "I really like you Bella. So I was wondering if you wanted to go catch a movie sometime?" he seemed so shy and normal talking to me. Everyone accused him of being a player and a jerk. I looked into those eyes and I believed he was telling me the truth. I thought that he genuinely liked me. He was just playing me and luring me in like so many before me, most probably after me too, I just didn't know that at the time. So I agreed to go to get a movie with him. I went back to my friends and told them. They all warned me and told me to be careful, to not get too attached, that he was going to hurt me like all the others. I didn't listen, I thought I knew everything. I was wrong.

I spent the rest of that day with a smile on my face. I went home that night and told my mom about the date. She was happy for me but she warned me that most teenage relationships didn't last. I told her I knew that but it didn't stop me thinking it deep down. I decided that I wanted all my homework done so that when he wanted to go out I would be able to. I was on top of the world and nothing could have brought me down at that moment. The good old days huh.

There you have it. How I met your father. Not much but we have forever to finish the story. Right now that's enough. All I want to do now is cuddle up on my bed with you and Edward. Hang on a sec Edward wants to write something to you.

Hey Aimee. I just wanted to say that I hope that me and your mother are still together and that maybe you view me as your father. You should know that you probably don't realise it but you have the best mom in the whole wide world and you should be so grateful. Your mom has given up so much for you I hope you know that. She loves you more than you will ever understand when it would have been so easy for her to walk away. I hope you understand this. And if for any reason that I am not around anymore I want you to know that I will always love you. You can come to me at any point and I will be there to help and support you. Meeting you and your mother is one of the best things that I have ever done. I pray that we will be together as a family forever. Love you always and forever, Edward.

I'm back Aimee. I haven't read what Edward has written but I will later once he has gone. I don't know whether we are still together when you are reading this. I do know that he is one of the greatest guys I have ever met. I will always love you my angel. You weren't planned but that doesn't make you any less wanted. You were my surprise, one of the best I have ever had. I don't care what anyone says you are most definitely not a mistake and you never will be.

I am going to go and curl up with my two favourite people. I love you baby girl always and forever.

Authors Note: there you have it another chapter. Hope you all liked it. I promise more Edward and Bella next time but I thought it would be nice to get a bit of Bella's background in. Good news is that my coursework is officially done so hopefully more regular updates. Reviews make me update quicker. Until next time. Xxx
