The Dream Team
Sequel to my first story- my QB's, My Princess, and Me. The first story was written when I was 17 wow! I just reread it and really enjoyed the characters. So, I decided to continue with a sequel. However, rereading the sequel made me realize how many mistakes their were and I was cringing the entire time ahaahhaha!
If you haven't read the first one, I encourage you to do so. Be aware however that there are many mistakes and that the fluff is out the roof. I will not go back and rewrite, I have since got a new computer and do not have access to these old documents or my thought process as I wrote so for anyone not wanting to read the first one for these reasons heres a short synopsis.
Summary of story one: Edward is the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, Bella is a simple girl with a brother and child she cares for. Through their relationship Bella and Edward adopted two more children and they all became a family.
SO BEWARE FLUFF IS IN THIS STORY! It's not about the dramatics and not even all that realistic it's a light little sitcom basically on a family life in an alternate universe for Bella and Edward.
The family:
Edward: 28
Bella: 27
Brian (Bella's brother): 16
Blakelee (Adopted daughter): 14
Jaxon (Adopted son): 9
Lucy (Bella's biological daughter from previous relationship): 5
Chapter One
(2 years later)
The first day of school is always hectic. Especially with four insane kids all with different schedules. Not to mention Edward just started preseason and he was gone most of the time it's hard when he's gone I miss the hiatus already. "Mom! Do you know where the curling iron is?" Blake screamed down the stairs. No matter how many times they have said that in the last two years I still smile when I hear it.
"Try under my sink!" I screamed back.
"What the hell, it's 5:30 in the morning can everyone stop screaming." Brian grumped entering stumbling up the stairs and into the kitchen where I was cooking breakfast. He finally moved into his own space in the basement about 6 months ago, much to Blake's dismay. I didn't like it considering it had open access in and out of the house with the door, and that it seemed like a perfect place for him to sneak things in and sneak people in…
Edward however was a big supporter for the idea of his own space, and finally I allowed it to happen. Edward had a big talk with him though and I still don't know what all was said but we came to the compromise that he had to use the front door at all times. That he couldn't just come in go to the basement and never see the family.
"Chill out kiddo. You have to go to school," I snorted. Brian was entering into his junior year of high school this year he would be getting his license which terrifies me.
"I know I gotta go to school Bells but I don't gotta be up at 5:30… we don't have to leave here until 7." Kids gotta point
"Oh well you're up now, go see if Jax is up."
Brian rolled his eyes but got up from the barstool he was occupying, "You know the little nerd has probably been up for hours."
"Brian." I warned giving him a look. Jax is the smartest kid in the world, I swear. That being said, he is also very meticulous and exact which leads to him being teased endlessly by his siblings. It's really taken a toll on him too, it's made him self conscious.
"Yeah, Yeah," Brian mumbled back, hopping up the stairs.
I sighed and wiped my hands on a towel, the biscuits would be done in about half an hour which gives me plenty of time to go get Lucy Loo up. Upstairs are all three of the other kids rooms, and two bathrooms. Lucy's is down one side of the hallway, with a bathroom on the corner then Blake's on the other wall. Down the opposite hallway is a closet at the end, and Jax's against the wall. I could hear Jax and Brian wrestling around, no matter how intelligent Jax is he is still all boy.
I walked into Lucy's room and snorted when I saw her upside down in her bed, classic Lucy. "Good morning sunshine." I sang, opening the blinds
"Mommy! It's my first day of school!" Lucy yelled popping up out of bed like a pop tart. I giggled at her enthusiasm.
"Yes it is my baby girl."
"Is daddy gonna be here?" I sighed, sometimes I still feel like a single mom.
"I'm sorry baby… he's still traveling home."
Lucy's eyes dropped, and she squinted in confusion then was in my lap in a second. She reached her little hand up and touched my face, wiping a tear that I didn't know was there. "It's okay mommy." She said softly.
I quickly sat her on the bed and moved to the closet. "I'm sorry sweetie, I'm just sad you're big enough to go to school!" I tried changing the subject, I would never want Lucy to resent Edward. I knew what I was signing up for when we got together, doesn't mean there aren't hard times.
"How about this one," I held up her black and white striped overalls, with a black undershirt and her black sandals.
"Yeah mommy, can I get a bow too?!" I smiled at my agreeable child. Besides the occasional tantrum Lucy is a really good kid, all my kids are good but she's probably the best behaved. "Of course, you can, I'm going to make sure your brother and uncle are okay though. Go ask your sister if she will," Just then Blake stuck her head in the door and smiled at me.
"I gotchu little sis." She grinned, and Lucy ran excitedly after her big sister.
I walked down the opposite hall and found Jax sitting on his bed prepared, "Hi little man," I smiled at my nine-year-old.
"Hey mom," His hair has gotten darker since he came and lived with us, and longer it's shaggy and not in his eyes only because we got it cut recently. He also has acquired braces since coming to live with us, so did Blake. Jax is small for his age, so is Blake, we think it's because of their lack of nutrition from their living situation previously with the dick step dad. Jax had always thrived more than Blake though we think because she protected him.
"You excited for school?"
Jax shrugged. I sighed and went and sat on the edge of his bed, "You know buddy it's okay to like school."
Jax looked at me like I have two heads or something, "No mom that not cool. That's only for nerds."
I chuckled and hugged him to my side, "You know nerds rule the world?"
He looked at me hesitantly, "Really?"
"Yep," I smiled and patted his head, "Now come on I'm sure those biscuits are burnt by now."
Jax grinned and we walked hip to hip down the stairs, brian had pulled the biscuits out and had already ate half of them, "Brian!" I scolded annoyed, my little brother turned around with his mouth completely full
"Whuff?" He grinned, the food nearly falling from his mouth which threw Lucy and Jax into a fit of giggles.
"You're disgusting." Blake rolled her eyes, I couldn't agree more while Brian just shrugged at her bumping fists with Jax.
"Alright eat up Y'all we have to leave here in 20 minutes so be quiet and eat." I joined them looking around the table at each of them, I have to take a picture they all look so cute, and Edward would want to see this.
"Daddies calling." Jax mumbled, pointing to my phone with Edward's face.
"Hello." I smiled into the earpiece, walking into the other room out of earshot.
"God it's so good to hear your voice," Edward's sexy voice came across the line.
"Yours too. It's hard without you here." I got out, swallowing the lump in my throat.
"I'm sorry baby." Edward sighed into the phone. "Trust me I would rather be with you guys."
"Hurry home honey." I smiled.
"I'll be there quicker than you think… Can I talk too Luce? I wanna wish her a good first day."
"Lucy Loo," I smiled looking at my daughter's adorable half up half down hair her sister did. "Daddy wants to talk to you."
Lucy frowned then took the phone from me, "I don't want to talk to you, you make mommy cry." Lucy screamed into the phone, then hung up, everyone's chatter at the table immediately halted.
"Damn Lucy," Brian said with wide eyes.
"Double damn," Blake smirked.
"You two. Outside. Backpacks. NOW."
Both kids looked at me sheepishly before grabbing their backpacks and nearly running out the door, I sighed and looked at Jax who held his hands up in surrender, "Got it mom," then he was outside too.
"Lucy girl, why were you so mean to daddy?"
Lucy looked at me as I kneeled down in front of her, "He's made you sad for weeks mommy."
I sighed, a horrible feeling in my stomach, "Aw baby you've seen me crying huh? Wasn't as subtle as I imagined?"
"Don't know what that means mama but okay yeah."
I chuckled and played fondly with the ends of my little girls hair, "Baby it's not daddies fault it's his job, football is demanding."
"Footballs dumb." Lucy grumped, sometimes I agree with ya kid.
"Luce," I sighed, "Daddy would be the one sad if he heard you say that you don't want that huh?"
Lucy shook her head no
"That's what I thought my brave girl. Now why don't you give daddy a break, he'll be home tomorrow."
"He's home right now." An all too familiar voice said, I gasped and whipped around to see my dream man leaning against the column with his arms crossed all three other kids behind him grinning wildly.
"What are you doing here?" I gasped in shock.
"I took four flights," He stepped closer, "Three buses," another step closer and I found my heart beating into my ears, "And a taxi to get here, because every day I'm not with you my heart isn't complete. I can't stand this Bella, being apart, which is why starting 2019 I'm a retired Dallas Cowboy. I told them today…. It's my last year."
"But Edward… your dream."
"You're my dream Bella. You and all the pipsqueaks."
He grinned wide, and engulfed me into his arms, slowly his lips came in contact with mine and just like it had every day since the day I met him fireworks went off in my brain.
"EWWWWW!" Sounded around us, and I tried to pull back, but Edward only smiled into my lips and kissed me deeper.
"Oh, seriously gross dude." Brian about barfed and walked out the door, followed closely by his siblings. When he pulled back he was attacked by our tiniest family member, Lucy ran and jumped, and he easily caught her and held her between us.
"I'm sorry daddy, you make mommy so happy." Edward's heart just melted I could tell by the way he was looking at my mini.
"You make me so happy to Bug. I love you so much sweetheart, now how about we get you and the others to school."
"Yeah daddy! I getta go to school now too!" She yelled, so excited and slid down running and grabbing her backpack off the rack.
"How long before that wears off?"
"With Lucy Loo? I give it a solid three days," Edward chuckled.
He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and we walked side by side toward the door, "So what next Cullen?"
"Next? We take our kids to school Mrs. Cullen."
"Oh you know what I mean…."
"We have lots of sex since they're all in school," he said right before opening the door. "Edward!" I laughed, but gasped.
Edward winked at me and gently teased his kids about how slow they all were as he raced them to the car.
So basically, I have one kid getting his license and getting into even more trouble, a teenage girl starting high school, a 4th grader that is too smart for his own good, my last baby leaving me and starting school, and my husband living out his last year as an NFL player… oh I wonder what this next year will bring. Only time will tell….
