Hello everyone!! I see we have quite a few new readers and I wanted to answer a few questions.
1. Will Edward tell Bella about Mike's daughter and working on her case? Yes he will when it comes up. He can not share a lot with Bella about his cases as it's against the law to share to much about someone else case.
2. Is James going to make an appearance? There is a high chance he will. I'm still not sure how I will want to bring that into play, so we will have to see.
3. Bella will have to tell Masen about James one day. It's only obvious even if Bella and Edward get married Masen will still want to know who his "real" father is and when that time comes Bella will be ready to tell him all about it. Mase may speak well, but he's only two and will not be three till August, so I have some time before we worry about him asking the really tough question. ;-)
4. I also wanted to y'all's opinion and thought on Renee and what you guys would like to see and how that relationship should go.
Thank you for all the love and reviews, I can not explain how happy it makes my heart to see so many of y'all enjoy my story! I hope you continue to enjoy! Much love.
*ALL CHARACTERS BELONG TO THE LOVELY STEPHENIE MEYERS
Bella POV July
I groaned as my alarm rang though my room, I truly loved my job, but man do I hate these five am morning wake ups. I hit the snooze button and fell back asleep for a good five minutes, before it went off once again, only this time I listened and actually got out of bed.
Sitting up and hanging my feet over my bed, I grabbed my phone and checked though my notifications, seeing that Edward had sent me a text.
Edward: Good morning my beautiful girlfriend. I hope you and Maser have a good day. Maybe I can come over after work? Xoxo
Bella: Good morning to you too, my handsome boyfriend. We would love to have you come over, maybe I can cook us some dinner. I missed your cuddles last night. Xoxo
My sweet Edward. I wake up to one of these text every morning and it just makes my day start off so much better. He does an amazing job of making me feel so loved and safe. My therapist says that Edward is very good for me and for Masen and it so happy how far I've come since a month ago.
I never did open up that message from James. I honestly haven't even opened my Facebook since then and I'm thinking about just fully deleting it. Edward won't say it, but I know he's dying to see what that message says, and I know the lawyer part of him wants to see if there is anyway he can get James for anything. He wants that man behind bars and behind bar for a long time.
I want to just imagine that, that night never happened. That I never went to that stupid party or took that red solo cup. But I did. And it gave me my son who I am so incredibly grateful for. I just hate the fact that one day, I will have to tell my baby, how he came to be and who is father is. I will not keep that from him. It is Masen's story too and he deserves to know.
I started feeling anxious and i really didn't need a panic attack this morning. I got up and grabbed my work clothes and dropped them off in the bathroom. I checked on Masen and he was still passed out with his mother hanging slightly open and he had his teddy bear tucked into his side in a death lock. I stood there and just watched him for a moment. He looked so peacefully when he was sleeping and I loved to see it.
Quietly I pulled his door closed and went back to the bathroom. I took my shower deciding to skip on washing my hair today as it always takes way to long to dry and I don't got time for that. Opening the shower door I wrapped my towel around myself and saw my phone flash from the corner of my eye.
Edward:Oh did you now. I did too I like having you wrapped around me like a spider monkey.
I get off tonight at seven so I should be around after then. Do you need me to pick anything up?
Bella: Edward! Where do you come up with these things. You are lucky I love you, ya goof. And No we don't need anything. Well not anything I can think of right now, but thank you sweetheart.
I need to finish getting ready for work. But I love you and I hope you have a good day at work. Xo
Edward: I love you too, beautiful girl. See you tonight and give Masen my love. 3
I'm sure I had a big smile on my face when I put my phone down. How did I find such an amazing man who loves me so much. He made me feel like a love sick teenager.
I never thought I would be with some almost six years older then me, but then again I was never into guys my own age and I guess the boys that were my age was not to keen on the idea of dating a single mom. But Edward. He was different. A good different as he likes to say. He already loved Masen almost as much as I do.
Next week we will have been together for one whole month. And I wasn't sure if Edward would even know or if i should even made a big deal out of it. But I sorta wanted to. This has been the best month in my entire life. I can not remember the last time I have smiled as much as I have being with Edward.
"Mama! I wake" My son yelled. I need to take that bar off his crib and get him into a toddler bed. I did a couple squirts of my perfume and did a last check on my makeup, before closing the door and going to get my son, who was very quickly losing his patience.
"hi!" He squealed when he saw me. "Good morning, baby. Did you sleep well?" He nodded and snuggled into my chest. Let's go use the potty first and then you can have a boobie snack" Masen nodded but wanted me to carry him into the bathroom. Someone was clinging today.
Once he finished with the potty, he washed his hands and we went back to his room to sit in the glider. "Give me a second Masen" I scolded him as he tugged on my blouse. As you can see we are having a fun time with weaning Masen off the boob. He was fine with taking the afternoon nap time nurse away, but we have only skipped on a few night time feeds but he will not miss one morning feeding in less he has too.
Masen finished his first breakfast and I got him dressed in a pair of jean short and of course a Thomas the train shirt. "Ok babes. You can pick three toys to take to Nana Esme house, and I am gonna go pack your lunch" By now it was already 7:00 and we probably should have already been in the car, but these things take time.
I had already packed Masen's bag with all of his day to day needs and I was going to send him with leftovers from the other night and I tossed a few oranges and a yogurt into his lunch box as well. Zipping up the lunchbox I sit it into his backpack and zipped that up as well. "Masen, you ready baby?" I heard his little feet slapping on the hardwood floor as he ran into the kitchen.
"yes mama. I need help with my shoes. Pwease" I picked him up sitting him on the counter and slipping his vans on his feet and fastening the velcro straps. "There you go, handsome. Now let's get you to Nana's before we are super late!"
oooOooo~OCF~oooOooo
We pulled up to Esme house right at 7:30 with not a minute to spare. I parked the car, getting out and going to Masen's side. "Are you going to be good for, Nana Esme today?" I asked him as I unbuckled his car seat. "Yes, Mama. I be SUPER good. Cuz then I get a cookie from Nana" he said clapping his hands together. I laughed at him and grabbed him out of his seat moving his to my hip and reaching inside to grab his backpack.
When we headed to the door, Esme was already standing there in a beautiful white sundress looking like the perfect magazine housewife. "Good morning Esme. You look so pretty today" She gave me a big smile and moved to take Masen.
"Good morning to you too! And you are looking fabulous Bella, but you are to thin. Are you eating enough?" I sighed and nodded. I can eat more then a grown man and still be this size. "Yes I'm eating more then enough, mom!" I handed her Masen's backpack and kissed his cheek.
"I love you son. You have a good day with Nana and I will see you in a few hours" He just nodded, more interested in going inside to play in the huge playroom they put together just for Masen. "Love you Mama" I waved to them both and made my way back to my Honda.
Thankfully I got to work in the nick of time and got to my class room without being to late. I flipped on my light and went to turning everything on. Since the kids were on summer break teachers at this school were still required to come in and work on the school plans for the year and get the class room ready.
Since I was coming in a little late, I had a lot of catching up work to do since most of the other teachers already had their year school lessons plan's already done and I have barley even started on mine.
"Hey girl. How's it going" I looked up to see Tyler walking into my classroom with arms filled with paperwork. "It's going. Is all that for me?" He shook his head No and I breathed a sigh of relief. "Nope but a good stack of it, is yours" he said with a laugh. "Oh great. You can just sit it with all the other paperwork I need to look at" I helped Tyler look though the papers and we found my items and stacked them all up on my best.
"Thank you. I guess I need to take some of this home with me and work on it there" I would be doing paperwork for the rest of the year at this point. "That's what I do, but I also don't have a two year old at home and I don't plan on ever having one" I laughed at him. Tyler enjoyed teaching the children, but he didn't want to ever have children of his own. From what I hear Tyler has been single for years and like to keep it that way.
"Well I'll let you get to work and stop bothering ya" I waved goodbye and looked at the stack of papers almost as tall as me. Might as well get to work.
My phone started ringing and I definitely needed a break, my hand was starting to cramp up from all this.
Phone call:
"Hello"
"Hi Bells. It's me your best friend that you never call anymore"
"Hello to you to Angela. I'm sorry I can't be at your beck and call anymore"
"That's ok, I guess can forgive you. How my cute nephew?"
"He is good. Growing like a weed and eating me out of house and home. He's been doing great at his new daycare to"
"Aww, I'm so glad to hear. I loved getting to see him at the daycare when I worked there. Phoenix is just not the same without you guys"
"I'm sorry bestie. I just couldn't be in Arizona anymore. It's so freeing to not have to worry about running into him"
"I get it Bells. It's just sad reality that you are not right now the street from me anymore. You got anything interesting going on?"
"Yeah I've got a few new people in my life, keeps me busy"
"Oh really? Please share"
"I have a boyfriend"
"WHAT!"
"Angela! My freaking ears"
"Can you please explain to me, why you haven't told me about this new development, Isabella!"
"His name is Edward and he's the most amazing and dreamy man I have ever met. He loves me Ang and he loves Masen. We have been together for almost a month now"
"I can't believe you haven't told me yet! Here I was thinking we were best friends"
"Of course we are Angela! We haven't told anyone yet. Besides Alice and that's only because Edward is her brother and we live together, so we couldn't exactly hide a whole ass relationship from her. You are the first one who knows about this"
"Awww! Well I forgive you babe. You better send me some pictures to stay on my good side, Missy"
"I will send you a couple. But I've got to go and get back to work."
"Ok I love you and give Masey a kiss for me"
"Will do. Love you too"
End of phone call:
Well it's nice to have someone know about us. Angela was the perfect person to tell, she doesn't really hangout with Rose and Emmett and she definitely won't tell my dad. It's not that I think Charlie will be against me dating. He just worries about me and Masen and I don't want him to have to do that yet. I was also concerned about Edward and what my dad might do to him, when they meet.
Edward has been so sweet to me and my son and I won't have my overly protective dad scare him away. I am way to attached to Edward already and I wasn't sure what I was going to do when Edward finally leaves me. I just love him so much and I don't how I will react when it's gone forever.
I shook my head, trying to rid myself of those thoughts. I couldn't let myself go there or else I would just end up crying and worrying about everything. I needed Edward. He was the only person who could rid me of these thoughts.
Bella: I love you
I just needed to tell him. Even if it was though text. I wanted him to know that he's on my mind and that I love him so much and I want everything with him. He has planted all these thoughts in my head and now I don't want them to go away. I don't want him to go away.
Edward: is everything ok? I love you too baby.
Bella: of course everything is fine. I can't tell my boyfriend that I love him?
Edward: I guess you can. You can do whatever you want to me beautiful.
Bella: Oh really? I'm going to have to remember that.
Edward: You better. I'll see you soon. Xoxo
I put my phone in my bag and packed up the rest of my things to go home. I needed a cuddle from Masen and soon a kiss and cuddle from Edward.
oooOooo~OCF~oooOooo
After I left work I stopped at the local Safeway and got the stuff to make lasagna. I had grilled chicken on the menu for dinner tonight, but Edward loved my lasagna so I wanted to make him something special. I grabbed a bottle of red wine and a box of tampons. What an odd grocery list.
I also got me and Masen some chocolate treats and went to the check line. "Miss Swan. What a joy to see you here" I smiled at my old babysitter and moved forwards to give her a hug. "Mrs Frank, it's been so long since I have seen you" Mrs frank was old when she watched me but now she was really old! "It has. You are all grown up I see. When did you move back home?"
"I've been here for almost two months now. Me and my son moved here so I could get a teaching position" We moved to sit down at a bench and she moved her shopping cart in front of her. "Yes, Charlie told me about your son. Masen right?" I nodded. "That's wonderful, i am glad to know you are back home. I just moved to port Angeles to be closer to my grandchildren"
"Aw, we need to get the kids together for a playdate some time" Mrs frank pulled out a piece of paper from her purse along with a pen and wrote some numbers on it. "The first number is mine and the second is my daughter Gianna's number. You might remember her" I nodded. Gianna came around every once in awhile. She was a teenager and didn't want to hang around a little kid.
"I do remember her. How old is Gianna?" She smiled. "She is 42. She got married a few years back and her and her husband got a surrogate because my daughter couldn't carry her children due to health issues. But now I have beautiful twin granddaughters and they are cute as a button. Lucy and Lydia will be turning four in a couple months"
"That is so awesome. We will definitely need to get together. Masen will be three in August so the age gape is not to big" she agreed and said she will speak with her daughter and we said our goodbyes.
I paid for my groceries and packed them in my car. When I pulled up to Esme's house, her and Masen were in the front yard together. Esme has changed into some raggy jeans that cropped at her shins they had dirt stains on them so I guess she wore them outside a lot. She also has a loose flowing top. She was on her knees moving some plants around to make room for others and Masen was sitting beside her with big gloves on, trying to help. I'm sure.
"Esme, let's hope you give my son a green thumb or else he'll kill all your pretty plants, like his mother did" Esme was always bringing me real live plants to put in mine and Masen's room, saying it was good for us to have, but i always killed them, no matter how hard I tried not to.
"Oh hush you. Masen is a great gardener, aren't you honey?" Masen nodded giving me a serious look. "I am mama" Esme took Masen's gloves and sent him inside to wash his hands and get his stuff. "What are you twos plans for the evening?" Esme asked me. She stood up and brushed the dirt off her pants.
"I have a umm-friend? Yeah a friend coming over for dinner" Damn it bella you wanna be a little more obvious. I gave her a smile as she cocked her brow at me. "Oh really do I know this friend?" She crossed her arms trying to act upset, but the smile on her have gave her away.
"Yoh know! How do you know" Esme eyes widened as she tried to wipe the smile off her face. "It was Alice wasn't it! Ugh I'm gonna kill that girl" I put my hands over my face not wanting to face my boyfriends mother. "Bella honey. I am so happy for you and no Alice did not tell me. A mother knows" I sighed and looking up at her. Edward? Who could he. I'm sure the hurt was written on my face. He could have at least told me he told her.
"Bella, please don't be mad at Edward. I made him tell me when he was over here the other day. I haven't seen my son smile that big since he was a child. I had no idea that he was going to say your name. But I couldn't be happier for you darling! Both of you. I for one couldn't have ask for a better woman then you for my son" She gave me a big hug and kissed both of my cheeks, showing her Italian side.
"Thank you Esme. I promise I will be good to him. I hope you are not disappointed. I can't imagine that you would want your son to be with a single mom" Esme gasped and her eyes instantly filled with tears. "Isabella! I will not have you talk about yourself like that. I wouldn't care if you had hundreds of child, as long as my son is happy I am happy. And I love you as one of my own children and you know I look as Masen as my grandson. You are amazing Bella. Please don't forget that dear" I gave her another hug letting my own tears fall. I just didn't want to mess this all up!
"It will all be okay. I know I raised that boy to be nothing but a gentleman. If he is anything less then you let me know and me and Alice will kick his butt" I laughed wiping my tears away. I felt a tugging on my skirt and I looked down to see a sad Masen who was looking at me with confusion.
"You sad mama?" I shook my head, picking him up and holding him close. Breathing in his baby soap. "No baby. I'm ok, I was just talking to Nana Esme about Eddie and got a little teary" Masen frowned and looked at Esme. "You know I should have know who Masen was talking about when he kept saying that Mama and Eddie make kissy faces all the time" I'm sure my face was blood red by now and I kept my eyes on Masen. "Mase!" I whisper-yelled at him, and he went into a fit of giggles.
"I sorry mama" Masen said in between laughs. Me and Esme just laughed with him. "Well we better get going. Edward will be there soon and I need to start dinner" Esme came forward and gave Masen and me a tight hug, saying she would see us tomorrow. "You and Masen need to join us for Sunday dinner this week. Edward will know what time to be here and I'm sure you guys could ride with him" She shot me a wink and I agreed saying I would speak with Edward.
Masen was quite on the ride home just looked out the window and held his teddy in his lap. he normally is very chatty on the way home and I don't think there is ever a time he is this quiet. "Masey. You ok baby?" He met my eyes in the mirror and gave me a smile. "I Otay mama. Me sleepyhead" I sigh.
"I see that. You can lay on the couch and watch a movie when we get home. How does that sound" Finally he let out a squeal of excitement. "We watch lightyear?" I nodded and he jumped into talking about how much he loves Buzz and Sox and that Zurg was kinda scary.
We got home and I got me and Masen out of the car and opened the truck. "I open the door mama?" I nodded and handed him my set of keys and showed him which one was the right key to unlock the door. Edward taught him how to use the key and he has loved doing it ever since and he is getting quite good at it.
I got all the groceries in one trip then walked to the door and Masen had just got it open. "Good job Masen. Go put moms keys on the counter so we don't lose them" he nodded and ran inside climbing onto the bar stood and setting the keys on the counter. He jumped back down and went to sit by the door to remove his shoes.
I left him to that and started pulling out everything for dinner. I try to make everything homemade so Masen doesn't have to much processed food and tonight was no different. I set a pot of water to boil on the stove with some salt and left the kitchen to go change out of my work clothes.
I change into some leggings and a sage green shirt that said "Boy mom" on the front and took off all my jewelry except for the bracelet Charlie had gotten me for my first Mother's Day. I didn't ever take it off. Shutting off my light and walking down the hall I saw Masen sitting on the sofa with his blanket and teddy. I put on his movie and gave him a small cup of goldfish to keep him till dinner. "I'm gonna go make dinner, if you need me baby" I placed a kiss on his forehead and went to the kitchen and did not leave it for another two hours.
I put the lasagna into the oven and set the timer for half an hour and set the garlic bread on the stove to set and wait. I got the kitchen clean and was wiping off the counter when the front door open and Alice walked in. "Hi Auntie Al" Masen said standing up on the couch to peek from behind it. "Hello handsome! Give me some love" Alice walked over to the couch after she had taken her heels off and wrapped her arms around Masen and talked to him for a minute.
"What's cookin, good lookin" Alice asked, smacking me on the ass as she walked by me. "It's lasagna and if you keep hitting me, you're not going to get any" She rolled her eyes and peeked into the oven. "I'll behave mom!" I chased her down with a wooden spoon as she yelped running into her room and slamming the door in my face. "You can't hide in there forever Alice Cullen!"
"MAMA!! Somebody knocken" Masen yelled from the living room and I felt my lips turn up in a smile. Edward. I picked up my speed and swung the door open to find my handsome boyfriend on the other side. I threw my arms around him and gave him a big kiss and effectively crushing the flower in his arms.
"Woah! Eager baby?" I blushed and kissed him again. "Hi" I whispered. Edward smiled and placed a kiss on my nose. "Hi" I moved to the side and let Edward set in. I took the flowers from Edward and smelled them. It was baby breath and pink roses my favorites. "Thank you, sweetheart. I love them, sorry I kinda crushed it" Edward laughed, his eyes were soft and shiny and he smelled so damn good. "I'm glad you like them"
Masen was bouncing on the couch waiting for Edward to turn around and it be his turn for "Eddie's" attention. "Eddie, I missed you!" Masen quite literally jumped into Edwards arm and wrapped his little arms tightly around his neck. "I missed you too Masen. Did you have a good day?" Masen nodded, leaning back and playing with Edward shirt collar. "Yes, I's play with Nana today!" Edward gave him a overly dramatic gasp and looked surprised.
"Really! You are so lucky. I wish I got to spend the day with you guys. I had to be at work ALL day and it was soooo boring" Masen giggled at Edward and I left them alone and went to check on the food.
oooOooo~OCF~oooOooo
Edward POV
Today was a long day. It had started out great! I was up half past five and got a good workout in. I got to text Bella this morning, so that kept her on my mind the rest of the morning and I wasn't mad about that. After my workout I hopped in the shower and shaved. I was running late for work, so I quickly got dressed and decided to skip out on breakfast for this morning.
I got to work in just enough time to go over my paperwork before heading over to the courthouse. DCS had just picked up three children last week and the kids aunt contacted me about needed a lawyer to get custody of her nephews and niece. I looked down at the paperwork once more.
HARLEY - SHAWN - AGE 10 MALE
HARLEY - ASHER AGE 6 MALE
HARLEY - CLAIRE AGE 1 FEMALE
HARLEY S - C -A WERE ALL TAKEN FROM
LAKEFRONT 7682 NEEL DR
AT 17:00 AFTER CALLS ABOUT A FEW WELFARE CHECK . ALL THREE CHILDREN ARE UNDER WEIGHT AND MALNOURISHED. PARENTS
HARLEY - SPENCER AGE 35 MALE
HARLEY COVE - LEAH AGE 28 FEMALE
HAVE NOT BEEN FOUND AND WHEREABOUTS ARE STILL UNKNOWN. CHILDREN'S AUNT
VERA VALSON AGE 30 FEMALE IS PETITIONING COURTS FOR CUSTODY.
These people made me feel sick to my stomach. How could anyone leave their kids alone and a one year old at that.
I was going to need to keep up with this case and make sure these kids got what they needed. I put everything back into the file and went into the court room and did what I do best. I got justice and a safe home for all three kids.
The kids Aunt Vara got temporary custody of her nephews and her niece and was going to be taking them to her home in Columbia and that's where they will stay till the kid's parents are found and we can set up a plan for the next steps. I hung around the courthouse for awhile and had a cup of coffee with Mrs Valson. We spoke about the process and how she will need to keep the courts and me updated on the children and any changes in their lives, like change of school, address, medical issues Etc.
"I promise Mr Cullen. Me and my husband will take excellent care of the kiddos. Their mother, my sister I don't know where she is, but it is not like her to just leave the kids. Leah never even left them for date nights. She was always with the kids" Her eyes filled with tears and I handed her a tissue. "Thank you. I am sorry, I am normally not like this, but I'm a mess and so worried about my sister" she sniffed.
"it will all be ok Mrs Valson. We will work this all out and will find your sister I promise. I hate to cut this short but I need to run to my next meeting" I stood and held out my hand and she shook it. "Thank you again, Mr Cullen. I will keep you updated" We left the courthouse together and each got in our cars and went different directions.
After I finished up with work I went over to the flower shop and got Bella some of her favorite flowers. And I wanted to get something for Masen to but they didn't have anything that caught my eye for him and I was already running late and I was ready to see my family.
I pulled up to Bella's house and parked behind Bella's Honda. Alice drove a ridiculously expensive yellow Porsche and she had to park that in the garage because they don't want anyone to mess with it. I grabbed the flowers and slipped my phone in my pocket. Walking up to the door I knocked on it a couple of times.
"MAMA! Somebody knocken" I heard Masen yell, making me smile. A second later Bella swung the door open and had me wrapped in her arms, before I could say a word and effectively crushing the flower I had gotten her. But I didn't care, I had the love of my life in my arms and I wasn't going to let her go.
"Woah, eager baby?" She blushed and gave me a kiss, and whispered "hi" She was just too cute. "Hi" I said moving forward and leaving a kiss on her nose. Bella moved to the side to let though the open door. I handed her the flowers and her beautiful blush grew brighter and she put them to her nose to smell them.
"Thank you, sweetheart. I love them, sorry I kinda crushed it" I laughed, she could crush them for all I care, as long as she is happy, I am happy. "I'm glad you like them" I turned my attention to the bouncy little boy who was waiting so patiently for him to notice him. "Eddie! I miss you" Masen jumped into my arms and I caught him of course and my heart was instantly full. My long day gone and replaced with the love I already feel for this boy.
"I missed you too Masen. Did you have a good day?" Mase leaned back in my arms and played with the collar of my white button up shirt. "Yes, I's play with Nana today!" I gasped and acted surprised, like I didn't already know who he spent the day with. I knew his schedule quite well. "Really! You are so lucky. I wish I got to spend the day with you guys. I had to be at work ALL day and it was soooo boring" Masen's giggles filled the air making me smile.
I moved to sit down on the couch and Masen climbed up in my lap, and just looked at me, like he was seeing my soul and memorizing my face to memory. "My mama got sad today" I frowned, turning my head to look at Bella to see if she could explain, but she wasn't there, I guess she went to the bathroom.
"Oh! Well why was she sad? Did someone hurt mommy?" I asked, my worry growing and settling a lump in my throat. Why would Bella be crying. More then anything, why would she be crying in front of Masen. I know she doesn't like to do that. "She's talkin to Nana and her eyes got all leaky" I couldn't help but laugh a little at his explanation of the situation. He is just as cute as his mother.
"Did you hear what they said that could make Mama cry?" Masen thought for a long while before he looked back up at me. "I think yous" My eyebrows shot up and I realized what they might have been talking about. Freaking Alice hinted around to mom that I was in a relationship and Esme caught me off guard then guilt tripped me into telling her who I was dating.
I knew I should have just told Bella that Esme knew, but I didn't want to upset her and now she probably thinks I am lying to her and that's not what I want! Damn it. "Well, let's just keep this between us boys and I will talk to your mama about it tonight. Don't worry about it Mase, I will take care of it" I gave Masen a big hug I felt his smile against my neck and his whole body relaxed against me.
"I love you Eddie" he whispered. How can I feel this strongly about a child that is not mine. A child that I have only known for a month. I love him so much, I love him like he is my own son. Like he has always been apart of my life. I couldn't imagine not being with him everyday for the rest of his life.
I want to be at every sports game. I want to teach him how to play baseball, just like my dad taught me. I want to be there for him when he try to talk Bella into letting him get a girlfriend. Be there to see him off when he leaves for college. See him marry his soulmate. I want to give him more siblings to love and play with. I want him to be by my side when I marry his mom. My soulmate. I will make this relationship work if it's the last thing I do.
"I love you too Masen. So much" Me and Masen stay on the couch like that for awhile and watched the movie he had on. It looked like a new Toy Story and I got sucked in rather quickly. I turned around when I heard the door open but Masen's hand wrapped tightly around my shirt and I looked down to find him fast asleep. Bella and Alice came into view and Bella had a big smile on her face as she looked at us. Her big doe eyes full of love.
"Aww my big brother, the Masen whisperer. Who knew!" Alice cooed at is and I just rolled my eyes at her. Bella sit down beside me and cuddled into my side and ran her fingers though Masen curls. Masen sighed, a small smile on his lips. "I can go put him to bed if you want" Bella whispered looking up at me. I shook my head, wrapping my free arm around Bella and resting my hand on her ass. "I'm perfectly happy right now. I have the most important people in my arms and there is no place I would rather be"
Bella leaned up and gave me a wonderful kiss. "I love you" she whispered "I love you too, beautiful" I whispered back to her. I wasn't paying attention to anything other then Bella, as we shared soft kisses and whispers of our love, but I felt a pair of eyes on us, I looked up and Alice was silently bouncing and freaking out beside us. "OMG!! You guys are so cute!!" She squealed so loud I expected Masen to wake up, but he didn't even stir.
"Why didn't you tell me that y'all were in LOVE!!! Bella I expected more from you" She pouted, but Bella just shrugged not caring about Alice. She kept her face on my chest and her eyes on Masen's sleeping face. "Sorry Allie. You can take my card and go shopping" Alice jumped up and kissed my cheek, saying she excepted my apology. "But you miss Isabella! You have to go with me and you are not aloud to pay for one thing!" I wasn't made about this plan. Bella deserves to have a pamper day.
"Alice! Absolutely not! I am not going to spend Edwards money. He already pays for way to much" I rolled my eyes. She has no idea. "Nope! You can't get out of this one. Edward will watch Masen and you will be with me! It's already been decided" Bella sighed and mumbled something about plucking the wings off her. Not sure what that's about.
"I am so excited!! We are going to have so much fun" Bella stood up and stuck her tongue out at Alice, then went to the kitchen pulling the food out of the oven. I knew that smell. She made me her lasagna! She is an angel. My angel.
"Edward would you mind, putting Masen in my bed and I will put his plate up for later" I nodded and carefully stood up and carried Masen to Bella's room. I pulled the covers down and laid Masen in the middle so he wouldn't roll off. "Eddie" he mumbled his eyes still closed. "It's ok. Go back to sleep. Love you" I pressed a kiss to his head and combed his hair away from his eyes and walked away from the bed "Love you daddy" I gasped turning around and looking down at him to see if he had woken up. But he was sleeping peacefully.
My eyes filled with tears and I stood by the bed just watching him. It was probably just a coincidence and I'm sure he didn't mean it, but man did that feel so good. I wish I could be his daddy. I longed for it. Please God let this work out. Please.
That is it for this chapter! I hope everyone enjoyed. This is kind of a filler chapter but I think it was still really cute.
Till next time ~Jade
