When maternity ward nurse Bella Swan is finally introcuced to the new obstetrician, her attraction toward him is immediate. Dr. Edward Cullen - son of Carlisle Cullen, also a doctor at Forks Hospital - is the epitome of manliness: sharp cheekbones, lean yet muscular body, and the sexiest smile she has ever seen. For Bella, Edward is simply perfect! And when he also turns out to be smart, funny, excellent in his job, and absolutely adorable with babies, she falls fast and hard for him. It doesn't matter in the slightest that she didn't have plans to fall in love at the moment, much less falling in love with a colleague, because all Bella sees and wants is Edward... 

And he feels just the same - even though getting involved with someone was the last thing on his mind when he left New York. After a wrongful sexual harassment claim made by a rejected nurse, working normally was anything but possible. With colleagues staring at him and spreading rumors behind his back, Edward felt more and more unwelcome. So when the 30-year old man hears from his father that an obstetrician is needed at his hospital, he doesn't think twice and accepts the offer. And the change of scenery does him really well because when he lays eyes on Bella, he loses all reason and good intentions and finds himself in Seventh Heaven. Unable to stay away from her the young doctor asks her out on a date and from there on, things progress quickly and in an intense way for the couple...

Babies on Their Mind is written from a third-person perspective. However, the omniscient narrator alternates between taking a closer look at Bella's and Edward's thoughts so that the reader gets a good impression of what is going on in their heads. Generally speaking, the story contains as good as no angst but is full of fluff and romantic scenes instead. Sometimes, words the characters choose to express their feelings for each other might sound a bit clichéd or even cheesy, but after a long fanfic full of drama and despair this is exactly what one needs! That said, Babies on Their Mind has one or two interesting twists and turns, for example that Bella seems to have gotten pregnant even though Edward is infertile. It is a well-written story that includes a couple of typos here and there but is overall a very good read. The sweetness that is Edward will totally lure you in, I promise!

Babies on Their Mind consists of 37 chapters and a total of 236,191 words. The story is rated M for graphic description of sexual activities and some foul language.
