“Aurora, calm down. Mommy will open it for you.”

“OK, fine.” She pouted as I undid the latch and opened the door. Edward stood there with the most amazing smile on his face as he looked at my daughter. The compassion his eyes surprised and confused me. It was more than compassion. It was love. It was as if that was his daughter that ran to the door when he got home from work, to eager to see her father to wait for her mother to get it. As he picked her up and through her in the air, and I saw the love in his eyes, I realized something that shook me to my very core. I was in love with him. How?! I’ve only known him for a day! But all thoughts of the impossibility of my love for him were forgotten as I saw a vision of him coming home from work, Rora running to the door to see him that much sooner, him walking into the kitchen as I made dinner for our family, being taken into his arms and feelings his lips on mine, curling into his chest as the four of us watched a movie, the girls calling him daddy- something they had never called Jake, I even saw another baby- mine and Edward’s baby, one that was biologically his, even as he loved my girls as his own. And in that moment it didn’t matter if I’d only known him for a day, I wanted my vision to come true more than anything in the world, I loved him, and I wanted him, forever.

Edward POV:

I left the house at around 10:12. I drove fast, well normal for me, but according to traffic law I was speeding. I got there 5 min. late on purpose, not wanting to seem to desperate to see her, I was positive she didn’t feel the same way, not right now, at least. I mean, what kind of idiot falls in love after only knowing someone one day. When I knocked on the door I heard a delighted squeal and the sound of small, running footsteps. I laughed as Aurora tried to open the door, but the latch at the top was still locked and she couldn’t reach it, “MOMMY! IT WON’T OPEN!”
