New Beginnings
Chapter 1
"I don't think I can take one more day of this!" I cry as I'm trying to get out of bed without peeing myself.
"Come on and let me help you." Edward holds out his hand.
"I'm not an invalid." I growl.
"I know you're not! But you are short and our bed, the bed YOU insisted on having is like ten feet off the ground for your pregnant ass!" he suppressed a smiled.
"Edward!" I growled again.
"Hey, stating a fact, stating a fact." He back away and into the bathroom to relieve himself first which almost made me lose my shit.
I finally waddle my seven month pregnant self into the bathroom as he's brushing his teeth and go, all privacy and modesty is out the window at this point and he knows it as he usually has to help me up. These twins are kicking my ass. I'm on strictly bed rest, have been since four months and that hasn't made for a happy Bella. Esme and everyone has been great about taking me out and pushing me in a wheelchair so I don't get cabin fever and we can get the rooms set up to my liking.
We were being blessed with a boy and a girl and with the babies due at basically any time, we were still stuck on names, mainly due to me. I wanted different names, but names that complemented each other and of course went well with Cullen.
"So, I've been thinking and I finally choose names." I smiled at Edward as we showed together.
"Whoa! Really?" He smiled.
"Yeah. I like Baylee Anne Cullen for a girl and Blayne Anthony Cullen for a boy." I nodded.
He kissed me for his response. "Those are perfect! Esme will love the fact that Baylee has her middle name too." He nuzzled my neck.
"And Blayne has yours and of course Carlisle's and then our next child I can name after my dad somehow. " I shrugged.
We finished our shower and Edward left for work, leaving me on the couch to blob out until Esme arrived for our lunch date.
I was still a little afraid to be home alone, but with all the curtains drawn, the security system set, phones at the ready I was a little better. It helped that James' dad was dead, his mom was in prison for tax evasion and James was in a mental hospital, a total vegetable. My shelters that I had opened and the secret help line to get women and children to my shelters or out of town that I funded were doing quite well. I personally didn't attend any of the fund raisers myself. I had a spokeswoman who ran my company, I just oversaw everything and approved the final touches.
Maria was a strong woman who had been through abuse just about as bad as I had been, but killed her husband in the end. She did get off because of the documentation, she stayed unfortunately because years ago there was no help and as a Catholic even her parents told her they'd disown her. So her husband would take her to the ER for the really bad stuff, the doctor would make house calls for the others, she'd take her own pictures when he wasn't home and hide the camera, learned photography and developed them herself. She hid the, for years. One day he beat their daughter and started to rape her that was the end. She picked up the brass candle stick and beat him to death, took pictures of her daughter, embarrassing as it might have been, developed them and called the police.
She was arrested, the daughter was put into foster care for several months until she was cleared.
She had to move out of state so no one knew about her and became a photographer and now was my spokeswoman. I loved her like a second mom.
"Bella, Bella?" I heard Esme's panicked voice.
"Sorry, I guess I dozed off." I laughed I tried to sit up.
"Here, let me." She helped me up and slid on my shoes.
We went to lunch and I told her we decided on names and she was ecstatic at them.
"Those are the perfect names." She smiled.
"Will your family be mad dear?" she worried.
"No. I'll honor the, with the next bunch." I laughed.
"Plan on having more?" she questioned.
"Yes! We want a LOT of children, close in age too." I couldn't keep the smile off my face.
"Oh! I can't wait! We're going to be so blessed!" she hugged me tightly.
We finished our lunch before heading home to spend a relaxing night with my husband.
