Your Daddy

Bella's POV

I ran to Elizabeth's room, to find her lying in bed with her eyes wide open.

"Momma?"

Her voice husky as she was tired.

"Hey Ellie. Come here."

Climbing into her bed, she curled up on my chest. I wrapped my arms around her, stroking her head.

"Are you alright momma?"

"I am now baby. Thank you. I'm sorry if you were scared. I was having a bad dream. You were very brave."

"You aren't angry I opened the door?"

"No Ellie. I'm glad you did. Why did you ring Edward? Why not Jenny's mom?"

"I couldn't find the number but found Edward's. You needed someone to help you momma."

"Thank you baby. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine momma. Edward helped me."

"Good."

She looked up at me as I combed my fingers through her hair.

"Momma?"

"Yes Ellie."

"Is Edward my daddy?"

"Why would you think that baby?"

"We have the same eyes. You said that only one other person has the same eyes as me. Someone special. Is Edward my daddy?"

"What would you say if he was?"

"That I love him."

"Yes. He's your daddy. I love him."

"Where is he?"

"He's going to stay over tonight."

"Where is he sleeping?"

"In my room."

"Where are you sleeping?"

"I'm going to sleep with him tonight baby. He's going to look after me."

"Can I sleep with you?"

"Come on then Ellie. Let's go meet your daddy."

Lifting her into my arms, I carried her to my room and stood in the doorway with her. Once stood in front of Edward, I looked up at him.

"Ellie this is your daddy. Edward this is your daughter Ellie."

"I love you daddy."

She wrapped her arms around his neck and climbed form my arms and into Edward's.

"I love you too Elizabeth."

"Are you going to stay daddy?"

"Do you want me to?"

"Yes."

"Then I'll stay. I have to talk to your momma about how it's going to work but I want to stay with you and your momma."

"I want you and momma to be happy."

"We'll sort that out later but we both want you to be happy."

A large yawn came from her small mouth as she nuzzled her face into his neck.

"Come on let's go to bed."

I took her back into my arms and lay down with her. Edward lay on the other side of her as I hummed her to sleep. With her finally asleep, I smiled up at Edward as he watched our beautiful baby.

"What's her full name?"

"Elizabeth Mary Swan."

"My mom was Elizabeth."

"I know. I wanted a piece of you with me wherever I went. She's the only good thing that came out of me leaving. I don't know what I'd do if anything were to happen to her."

"Nothing is going to happen Bella. Not if I have anything to do with it."

"I love you Edward."

"I love you too Bella. Go to sleep. You look very tired."

"Don't go anywhere."

"I wouldn't dream of it."

My eyes fluttered closed as I took his hand in mine.
