Saturday 28th September 2011

This past week has been crazy sweetheart but a good kind of crazy. Edward has spent most of his time with us this week which has been nice. He took us out for another date this week. We went out for pizza at the local pizza place, Pacific Pizza. It was really great, this is what happened:

He told me he was picking us up to take us out for dinner at 7pm. I was really hesitant at first seeing as he said we were taking you with us. However, he soon reassured me the place was family friendly, yet he wouldn't tell me where we were going. I decided to dress up but still keep it a little casual. It was unseasonably warm. I dressed in black tights, a blue 50s style skirt, and a long pale pink top. I paired this with bangles and the bracelet Edward brought me for my birthday. I dressed you in a long sleeved white, a pale pink gingham pinafore dress and white tights.

Right on 7pm Edward was standing on the doorstep with flowers for me and a little cuddly toy for you. I let him in whilst I got you settled in your car seat. Once we got you settled in the car we set off for our unknown venue. It was only a short drive and then we pulled into Pacific Pizza. I beamed, Edward looked at me a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry that I can't afford to take you anyway nicer" he looks down.

"It's fine Edward, I really love pizza. Plus I wouldn't want to go anywhere fancy just for stuck up people to stare at me when she starts screaming." I pull his face to look at me. He leans in and kisses me gently. Reluctantly we pull away. Edward gets out, walks around and opens my door. I get out as he gets you out of the back. We holds you carrier in one hand and mine hand in his other; together we head into the restaurant.

Edward walks up to the hostess and tells her our reservation. We follow her through the restaurant till we get a nice private table by a window. We sit down and the hostess asks us if we want a highchair whilst gesturing to the carseat Edward has set on the chair next to him. "No that's fine, she's too little" I reply. The hostess acknowledges me for the first time with a look of distain. She hands us our menus and informs us our server will be with us shortly.

You were good whilst me and Edward decided what to order. In the end we choose to share a large pizza and have a salad each as well. For our topping we decided to go for pepperoni. The waitress walks up to us pulling her top down as she goes. I suppose that just comes with the territory of being with someone like Edward. When she reaches our table it doesn't escape either or our notice that she completely ignores me and chooses to instead talk solely to Edward. Rather than causing a scene Edward just orders for us quickly. The waitress then leaves us for a short while.

You had been too good all evening but as soon as you heard the nasally voice of the waitress approaching you decided to play up. Instead of your whimpers you usually do when you crave a cuddle you belt out a full on scream loud enough for the whole place to hear. Edward lifts you out of your car seat and I lean across the table to take you from him. He bats my hand away telling me that he has got this. He cradles you in his large hands close to his chest and gently rocks you in his arms. The waitress reaches our table and puts the pizza and our salads on the table. She turns to walk away not before giving you a dirty look.

Edward reluctantly hands you over to me as he is not as practiced at holding you one handed. I balance you on one arm and eat with the other. We chatter over dinner and despite the waitress our evening has been great. Once we have finished our pizza Edward asks the waitress for the check. "I have plans for dessert" he informs me as he guides me out of the restaurant. We get back in the car and drives the short way to where we are having dessert. We pull up at JT's Sweet Stuff.

Hand in hand we walk into the shop. The lady behind the counter smiles when Edward enters and waves at him. "Edward, what are you doing here you are not due to work tonight are you?"

Edward grins back at her."Nope Sue but I am bringing my two favourite girls here for ice-cream. Although this little one," he gestures towards the baby carrier, "cannot actually have any. However, my Bella" at this he gestures towards me, "has quite the sweet tooth." Edward settles me and you at the counter before he goes behind to make us dessert. Sue just laughs at him but doesn't stop him. He places a huge ice-cream sundae in front of me with every topping you could think of.

We spent the rest of the evening chatting in the ice-cream shop. Edward told me all about working there. Before we set off for home I took you into the toilets to change your nappy. When I was on my way out I overheard Edward talking to Sue about us. He was saying how much he cared for the both of us and that he truly saw a future for us. He talked about how he wants to be a dad to you and have more kids together. When he stops talking I walk out with you in arms. We head off home and then I realise that it is getting really late. He stops at my house and helps me to get in. He kisses me goodbye and tells me he will see me again really soon. I tell him that I had an incredible time with him.

That brings me to where we are now curled up in bed together. Me and you that is, not me and Edward. I don't think that dad would let Edward stay over, at least not yet. Maybe when things get more serious. If I am being honest I can definitely see us having a future. Edward is everything that a girl could want in a guy. People may say we are young but Edward is older than me and I have never acted my age, even less so since I had you.

Anyway Princess I suppose I had better get you to bed and get some sleep myself. Edward is talking about going on another trip to the park to study tomorrow so we shall see how that goes. I really appreciate how he tries to incorporate you into our dates. He truly understands how important you are to me. Seeing him with you makes me like him that much more.

I know we didn't get to explore my future anymore tonight but it is getting late. So tomorrow I can promise more about how I managed to get to where I am. Things are so complicated but they never said life would be easy they just promised it would be worth it.

Lots of Love

Mummy

Authors Note: there you have it, another chapter. Sorry this one took so long to write. Both the places they went on their date are real places in Fork. I have no idea what they are like as I have never been but they seemed appropriate. Any reviews would be much appreciated I reply to each one and they inspire me so much. Anyone got some date ideas I would really appreciate it. Until next time. Xxx
