My Singer – Outtake 1 "The Truth is Out There"
My Singer was written as a one shot, but I ended up writing this after reading Supergirl0830's review.
Not Beta'd. Characters are not mine, I just borrowed them.

The morning of December 27, Bella and I enjoy breakfast with my parents before dropping them off at the airport. Their visit went so much better than expected. Mom already thinks of Bella as her daughter and dad is happy about my determination to stay in school.
When we get back to the house Bella lays down for a nap while I grab a text book and get a jump start on my next semester. When my cell phone rings, I see its Emmett.
"Hey Emmett!" Since school started, I'd been in touch with Emmett and Jasper off and on. It seemed every other week or so one or the other of us would send out an e-mail.
Jasper was at A&M University in Texas and Emmett was at Northwestern outside of Chicago. Their girls, Alice and Rosalie, were at The Art Institute in Houston and St. Mary's of Notre Dame in Indiana, respectively.
I don't know why, but I never told Emmett and Jasper about my reuniting with Bella. I wasn't sure how they would react and the timing just never made sense.
"Hey Edward! Hold on, let me get Jasper on the line."
"Hi Edward!" Jasper says once he's on the line.
"Hey guys. What's going on?" I'm confused as to why we'd be having a three way phone call.
"Well, we were wondering when we can all get together before heading back to school," Emmett says.
Bella is walking into the living room and sees me on the phone. She furrows her eyebrows and whispers, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, its Emmett and Jasper," I say covering the mouth piece as best I can.
I finally turn my attention back to the phone. "Um. Well." I have no idea what to tell them. I never went home for the holidays.
Jasper finally speaks up. "What's wrong Edward?"
"Well, the thing is," I finally admit. "I'm still in L.A. I never went to Forks for Christmas."
"Huh?" Emmett asks.
"I'm," I take a deep breath. "I'm seeing someone and we wanted to spend the holiday together. We just took my parents to the airport this morning. They spent the holiday here with us."
Emmett, Jasper, Rosalie and Alice all knew how much my time with Bella at the beginning of the summer messed with me. They were patient while I tried to get over her, though that obviously never happened.
"Why are we just hearing about this now? That's great Edward!" Jasper says.
Bella is sitting next to me, slowly running her fingers through my hair. God it feels good.
"Yeah, she's pretty awesome."
"Why isn't she spending time with her family?" Jasper inquires.
"Both of her parents have passed. She really doesn't have any real family."
"Man, that sucks," says Emmett. "Why don't you go to Forks? Why make your parents travel?"
"Well, see, she's sort of pregnant."
"What?!" both of them scream at the same time. "Man, you work fast!" Emmett says while laughing.
"It's not mine, asshole."
"Wait, you're with a chick who is pregnant with another guy's kid?" Emmett asks.
Bella, who can hear everything going on, looks at me and nods.
"She was artificially inseminated before we met. She's far enough along in the pregnancy that I didn't want her traveling over Christmas."
"Wait, wait, wait," Jasper calmly states. "How many college women get artificially inseminated? That doesn't make sense."
"She's not in college." I know I should come clean, but I really have to work up to it.
"Not in college? Did she already graduate?" Emmett asks.
"Yeah, she did. A few years ago." That much was true.
"Edward, why don't you just tell us the whole story." Jasper is so cool about this. I can tell Emmett is about to burst.
"It's Bella. Bella Swan."
"I thought she dumped your ass," Emmett states.
"She did. But then she tracked me down at school after I'd been here about three weeks and we've been together ever since."
"And you're just telling us now? Geez Edward, I thought we were better friends than this." Emmett sounds genuinely hurt.
"Guys, I didn't know how to tell you. The timing was just never right and I know you guys were worried about me over the summer."
"Well, I'm happy for you," Jasper says. "How did she find you?"
"She knows someone who works at UCLA and they gave her my schedule. Yes, she actually stalked me," I said with a laugh.
"Alice is going to be thrilled," says Jasper.
"Rosalie is going to fucking flip," Emmett says. "She was so pissed at Bella over the summer. We all were."
"It's all good now. Really."
I lean over and give Bella a little kiss. I had seen Emmett with Rosalie and Jasper with Alice for so long I never thought it would happen to me.
"What did your parents say?" Emmett asks.
"At first they were very cautious, but after spending the last three days with us, they love her. My mom is over the top thrilled. She and Bella get along really, really well. She even gave Bella her cell phone number and told her to call any time about anything."
"Man it's gotta suck. You finally get a girl and she's already pregnant. Still no sex for you." Emmett has always said exactly what's on his mind, appropriate or not.
"What the hell are you talking about? My sex life, and there is one, is none of your concern."
"Dude, how do you fuck a pregnant chick?"
Bella is giggling at this point and slowly climbs onto my lap. I slide down a little bit on the couch so she's sitting right on top of my dick.
"How do you fuck Rosalie?"
"What?!" Emmett exclaims. "What do you mean how do I fuck Rosalie?"
"It's no different Em, other than we get a bit creative in positions because I don't want to put too much pressure on the baby."
"Okay – I don't need to hear about either of your sex lives, thank you very much," Jasper chimes in. "It's like you're both still in high school."
"Um, Jazz, we were in high school like just six months ago," Emmett says.
"I know! But grow up. Edward, if you're happy that's all that counts."
"Thanks man. But Em is right about one thing. When are we all going to get together? I never thought it would be this difficult."
Emmett states, "We'll have to figure that out later."
"When is the baby due?" Jasper asks.
"February 14. The best Valentine's Day gift ever."
By this point Bella has started kissing my neck and jaw and grinding her ass on my groin.
"Boy or girl?" Jasper continues.
"We don't know. Gonna be surprised," I practically groan.
I can't take Bella's gyrations anymore. "Hey guys. I gotta go. I think Bella needs some help. I'll keep you posted on the baby, okay?"
"Sounds good," Emmett says. "Great," says Jasper.
"Say hi to Alice and Rose for me. Bye guys," I say as I'm hitting the disconnect button.
I immediately attack Bella's mouth with mine. "You little tease," I tell her.
"You think I need help?" she asks. "Like, what, new positions we can try?"
"Oh hell yeah." And right there, sitting on the couch, I wiggle my pants and boxers around my ankles and drag Bella's pants and panties down.
"I know this isn't new," I saw as I slowly slip into her. "But I can't wait any longer."
Now she attacks my mouth with hers. "We'll try something new later," she says between kisses.
We've found over the last few weeks that sex is easier with her on top. In the living room, in the bedroom, on a lounge chair in the backyard… And it's always amazing.
