"Nappies?... Check.

Teddy?... Check.

Blanket?.. Check.

Bottle?... Check.

Wipes?.. Check.

Coat?..."

A frustrated moan sounded from the corner where my husband sat with our baby boy. "Bella! We've gone over everything a hundred times. The changing bag is full with more things than Mason will ever need for just one day out. Plus, if we have forgotten anything -which is highly unlikely- we can always buy it when we're there. Love, there's nothing to worry about, it's just a day out shopping."

Glaring at Edward with his laid back attitude, I huffed grumpily and zipped up the changing bag. I was only making sure my baby had everything he'd need!

Two days had passed since my dad's visit and the atmosphere around the house was so much more positive. Every day before work, Charlie would pop round for half an hour and play with Mason, before placing a kiss on my cheek and leaving with a beaming smile on his face for work. After his shift ended, he'd instantly start driving back round to see us. He would spend the evenings complimenting Esme on her cooking and watching Mason and our family with an adoring smile on his face. I loved having my dad so close. I had hated the necessary gradual distancing I had begun to do after I'd moved out. The knowledge that I would always have him in my life, even after my change, had me walking around the house with a giddy smile on my face. Mason had picked up on our ecstatic moods and begun smiling at every opportunity. To say we were all wrapped around his little fingers would be a major understatement.

This also lead to today's activities. Edward, Mason and I were going to Seattle to shop for Mason's nursery. Seeing Mason's little body growing day by day made us realise he would be needing to sleep in a crib soon as he was outgrowing his moses basket rapidly. We had left Mason's nursery furniture back on Isle Esme so a major shop was in order. I was giddy with excitement at the thought of picking out cute little clothes and toys for my boy. The only down side to the day being that we were having to travel two hours in the car in order to shop somewhere that we wouldn't bump into anyone that knew us. Sadly, I couldn't show Mason off to the Forks population like I wanted to. We would have a difficult time explaining our situation as they could never know the truth.

Patting my pockets to make sure my camera was easy enough to get to, I fastened up my jacket and turned to watch my boys. Mason was lay near the end of our bed while Edward stood over him fastening his little blue coat nice and snug.

He was talking quietly to our boy as he started slipping his little feet into his shoes. "Are you going to help daddy pick out some colours for your room buddy? You are! Aw that's so helpful of you. We'll get you lots of new toys to play with and some more teddies. No I know Teddy is yours you don't need to hold him closer. Did you think I meant replace Teddy? No daddy would never separate my little man from his Teddy."

Smiling adoringly at my husband, I slowly started reaching for my camera, wanting to take some pictures of the adorable moment. "All done. You look good son, I'm going to have to bat the women away from you today. Such a handsome little man. Look at those eyes. Are you looking at daddy? You look so curious. Do you know what I'm saying bud? Daddy loves you. Yes he does. Come here."

Silently clicking away, I took picture after picture as Edward lifted Mason into his arms, snuggling him close to his chest. Clearing my throat to get their attention, I waited till they both faced the camera before motioning for them to smile. It took him a moment but Mason eventually understood and grinned back at me through the camera.
