Impossible Possibilities

Chapter 16

EPOV

(Mason is 3 months old but looks around 16 months.)

"Smiler! Come here and give Pops a squeeze!"

Laughing at the childlike excitement on my father-in-laws face, I quickly passed over my squealing son and stepped back as Charlie swung him around in quick circles.

"Charlie, if you're done trying to make your grandson throw up his lunch, I'd like to offer you a drink of some kind?" Smirking at the giggles still leaving Mason's shaking little body, I motioned for Charlie to take a seat.

"Thanks son, I'd love a coffee if you have one. Black please."

Nodding I ruffled Mason's curly bronze locks while squatting down so we were eye to eye.

"What about you little man. Do you want some juice? Can you say juice? Jooossseeee..." Staring into Mason's confused brown eyes, I waited patiently to see if he'd repeat the word for daddy.

"Are you sure he said Mama the other day? All I can hear is cute baby gibberish."

Shaking my head, I stood up and started making my way to the kitchen. "He definitely said Mama the other day Charlie. Of course it sounded more like 'Moh-Moh' But he was pointing at a picture of Bella in his room. I can't believe you all don't believe me. Even Bella's hesitant to take my word for it. She thinks he's not ready to speak just yet. Don't worry I'll prove you all wrong soon, won't I buddy. Can you say, buddy? Budd-eeee..."

Once again Mason just stared at me like I was insane before turning back to Charlie and playing with his moustache.

Sulking, I walked into the kitchen and turned on the coffee machine while making my way to the large double doors leading out into the garden. My mood instantly brightened at the scene playing out before me. With flowers all around them and mud covering every inch of their aprons and gloves, my wife and mother began laughing together as they tended to the weeds and planted new flowers. Esme was positively giddy when Bella volunteered to help with the gardening earlier this morning. She'd practically dragged my wife into the garden and hadn't stopped smiling since.

Leaning against the wall I watched as Bella started giggling hysterically at the impression Esme was doing of Emmett. Clutching her sides desperately, she quickly leant against Esme for support as she tried to control her laughter. Soon both women were clutching onto each other in a tight hug and giggling into each others shoulders.

As beautiful as it was to watch two of the most important women in my life having fun, a strange sensation settled in my chest as I watched them talk. Rubbing the spot above my heart absent mindedly, I tried to understand the reason for the unusual sensation.

Just as I was about to give up trying to work it out, Esme leant down and placed a tender kiss on Bella's forehead while caressing her windswept hair and smiling beautifully. In that instant the realisation came flooding back. The last time I had felt this sensation being when Bella told me she was pregnant almost four months ago.

Seeing the mother daughter relationship right infront of my eyes had visions of the little girl I'd imagined speeding back into my mind. Now instead of seeing Esme and Bella giggling together, I saw Bella and a little girl, our little girl, playing amongst the flowers. In my mind, Bella was tickling mini Bella and blowing raspberries on her little mud covered belly. I could almost hear the squealing giggles as my imagination ran wild.
