"A Rough Start" by ItzMegan73
People say there are moments in your life that define you. Edward Cullen is faced with one of them. Out of the blue, he is informed that he has a five-year-old son, Anthony. His mother, and Edward's former girlfriend, Jessica died in a car accident and left no immediate family behind who could take care of Anthony. So all of a sudden, Edward is given custody of a child he never met and his lazy bachelor days are over. With his low paid job at Forks' lumber mill he can hardly provide for himself, let alone a child. Additionally, Anthony's kindergarten teacher, Bella Swan, bothers Edward to no end when she points at his obvious inadequacies as a father.
A Rough Start is a very realistic story. Edward is totally unprepared of becoming a father and has no idea what to do. Because the relationship towards his own parents is close to non-existent, he is only left with the help of his friends and Bella. The latter supports him whenever she can and soon realizes that beneath Edward's hard shell, there is soft core.
