Disclaimer: I don't own them. The wonderful Stephenie Meyer does.

Hey all...again so soon! I know you all love it, don't deny it. You squeal with delight when you see an update! I do the same...but shhh it's a secret haha

Ok but really, thanks for all of the wonderful reviews! They also make me squeal in delight. :D Just so you all know...I am not married. I do not plan on getting married anytime soon. I am not even in a relationship unless mental Edward counts... (sighs in sadness). So! What is written is based solely on my imagination and what I hear from some of my married friends haha.

I know that crap like this happens to every marriage and that deeply depresses me and sometimes makes me want to never darken the doors of a wedding ever again BUT I know that will totally change when some Prince sweeps me off my feet and we ride off into the sunset on his white horse while the fat lady sings in the background a Hallelujah chorus (hahahahahahaha! YEAH RIGHT!) But really...I hope that no one takes offense by what I right and I am not trying to put a label on marriages or random stuff like that. This was just an idea for some fluffy smut hehe I do love me some lemons.

So...please don't assume that this is how to fix every marriage and even though I have heard multiple people say great sex is the key to a marriage, I don't know that to be the truth. I mean try it...what are you going to lose right? Hahaha but seriously...if you are in a crappy marriage and you see no light and your husband (or wife) is abusive in some way form or fashion whether it be mentally (you know who I am talking to) or physically...Show them the door! Just saying...but then again not married, like I know anything...Anyway...happier notes. Lemons :D Go read!

"Hey Bells!" Charlie called excitedly as he was walking from the living room towards the kitchen. There must be some type of athletic game on the TV because I heard several guys shout from the living room.

"Hey dad." I hugged him as he reached behind me to shake Edward's hand.

Edward looked at the casserole dish in his hand and smiled at Charlie before he realized that Edward couldn't quite shake his hand at the moment. Dad laughed and released my hug.

"Sorry son I am not thinking straight tonight. Sue's in the kitchen she will take that for you." Dad said and Edward nodded before he disappeared around the corner to head into the kitchen.

He smiled down at me then. His brown eyes just like mine were all lit up and his smile stretched halfway across his face, not to mention his dark mustache above his mouth. "You look good dad. How is everything?"

He widened his eyes and nodded. "It's great Bells. What about you?"

I shut the door behind me because it was still hanging open. "Everything has been ok." I answered because it was the most polite answer I could give him without revealing m marital problems.

"Well, Emmett is out back on the grill. He will be mad if you don't go find him first." He said and patted me on the back as he disappeared into the kitchen.

I walked around the corner and saw Sue's kids, Seth who was my age and Leah who was a couple of years older than me. She and her husband Sam were expecting. I stopped by and talked to them for a few seconds and congratulated them on their little girl. They were going to name her Emily. Sam's little brother Jacob was there too. He was a year younger than me and used to have the biggest crush on me. He still doesn't understand the concept of I am married. So I avoided him as much as possible and snuck out the back door to find Rosalie sitting on a blanket in the backyard playing with their fifteen month old son, Andrew-they called him Drew. She was Emmett's wife. Emmett was my cousin. We had grown up together, always tagging along with one another. When he was twelve his parents, my dad's brother James and his wife Tanya, died in a horrible car wreck so Emmett moved in with me and Charlie. Charlie became his second dad and he became my big brother. He and my dad both gave me away at mine and Edward's wedding.

I saw Emmett standing at the grill flipping some hamburgers not paying any attention to his surroundings. I walked over and said, "Would you like me to show you how this thing works?"

His head snapped up immediately and a huge grin covered his bear like features. Emmett was a big guy…built to play football some would say, even though he only played in junior high for a year.

"Hey Bella." He said anxiously and put his utensils down to pull me into a bone crushing hug.

"Emmett…can't breathe." I spit out. He laughed and sat me down on my feet as I heard a laugh come from the yard.

"Daddy he's coming to you." Rosalie said and stood up behind Drew as he stood up and wobbled over to us.

I gasped and turn to hold my hands out to him. "Drew, are you walking?" I cooed excitedly and watched as he pumped his little arms trying to get there faster. It was so cute and he rambled out something in his baby language that I didn't understand, like he was answering me.

"Come here and see Aunt Bella." I said and scooped him up in my arms when he got close enough.

I hadn't seen them in about three months. They just got back from their trip to Santa Barbara, California visiting Rosalie's family. His little arms wrapped around my neck and he went on with some more gibberish. I caught the word momma and that was it.

"Drew." Emmett said and tickled at his sides making him laugh. He was a happy baby. "Say Daddy."

He sat up and smiled at Emmett. He had the same smile as his dad, a huge one that still made him look like a baby.

"Say Daddy." Emmett smiled at him again. Drew shook his head and pointed to Rosalie. "Mom-ma."

We laughed at him and Rosalie came over to kiss his head. "That's right baby…Momma."

"How are you doing Bella?" She asked and hugged me from the side.

I nodded and grinned a little. "I am doing ok."

"Where's Edward?" Emmett asked and went back to the grill.

"He's around here somewhere." I answered as the patio door opened.

"I'm here." Edward said and stepped out hugging Rosalie who greeted him with a smile and a good to see you.

"Hey man." Emmett said and shook his hand. "How you been Edward? It's been awhile."

They haven't seen Edward in about seven months. The last time I was in visiting Edward didn't come with me.

"I've been ok. How was your trip?" He asked in response and smiled at them both.

"It was great." Emmett said and pointed to the baby in my arms. "Drew loved the ocean. The day we went to the beach he screamed and cried because we pulled him out of the water to go home."

Rosalie motioned she would be right back and slipped into the house as Edward turned and saw me holding Drew.

His eyes lit up immediately as he stared at the baby. "This is Drew? God he has gotten so big."

Edward grinned at him and held his hands out. Drew cackled and immediately dove into Edward's arms. "How have you been buddy?" He asked and hugged him tightly.

Drew rested his head down on Edward's shoulder. It was the cutest thing I think I had ever seen. It made me smile to see him react so well to Edward. Edward just grinned and laid his head down on top of Drew's. I swear a damn tear came to my eye. My heart thumped heavily in my chest and I smiled softly when Edward looked at me with a grin.

"Drew, say Daddy." Emmett commanded again as he flipped some more burgers.

Drew's head popped up and he said, "Mom-ma."

"Daddy." Emmett screamed back at him making the baby laugh and scream louder. "Mom-ma."

Edward laughed and started tickling his sides and playing with him. It was weird but the rest of the night Drew wanted to stay right next to Edward. Rosalie took him away once to change him and he screamed bloody murder. It was brutal. Edward looked so horrified that he was crying like that and offered to change him for Rosalie.

"You know how to change diapers?" I asked in shock. I had no clue they taught him that in medical school.

He laughed and said, "Pediatrician Bella."

I shrugged and watched him as he carried the baby and the diaper bag upstairs. Rosalie leaned over and said, "I believe your husband just got himself a new job. My babysitter."

I laughed at her and glanced back to Edward walking up the stairs. Sue and Charlie were wonderful hosts and as soon as everyone in the house had eaten all they could we had gathered outside in the back yard just sitting around talking. Edward came outside holding a sleeping Drew in his arms. It was adorable to see him with kids. He was a natural. He walked over and handed the baby to Rosalie. They talked and laughed for a few seconds and then he came to my side and put his arm around me. We smiled at each other and I felt more tears spring to my eyes. He hasn't put his arm around me in so long. I smiled brighter and turned to listen to Leah talk about the baby's room before Dad stood up and clapped his hands to get everyone's attention.

"Can I have everyone's attention for just a second?" He said and then Sue walked over to him with a smile on her face. They grinned at each other and then he took her hand in his as they both looked out at us.

"First off, thanks for coming tonight. It was great to see everyone…especially some long lost children of mine. I am glad they found their way home." Dad said and eyed me and Emmett. We laughed at each other and turned to listen to dad. "Well to get done to it…we have an announcement to make."

"Charlie is she pregnant?" Emmett asked loudly making everyone laugh including Sue but dad blushed to the core and gave him a scolding stare which made us all laugh harder. Edward even laughed.

"No Emmett…" Dad finally said with a light tone and a smile on his face. "But Sue and I have decided to get married."

It was quiet for a moment and then everyone started cheering and clapping for them. I smiled and when his eyes caught me I winked and blew him a kiss. I knew that Sue would make him very happy. They deserved each other. Everyone started towards them with hugs and handshakes and congratulations. When we got up to them Edward hugged Sue while I hugged dad.

"Congratulations dad." I whispered in his ear.

"I love her." He said into mine and I smiled brightly.

"I know dad. I am happy for you." He smiled when I pulled out of my hug and then I went over to Sue to hug her and congratulate her. She told me that she wanted me to be her bridesmaid and I felt so touched. How adorable is that…it's not every day that a girl gets to be the bridesmaid to her father's bride.

"I'd love to Sue." I said and hugged her tighter.

Shortly after that Edward and I exchanged our goodbyes and started home. When we got in the car he had a smile on his face and he looked as happy as I felt.

"I am happy for them." I told him as we backed out of the driveway and started down the road.

"Me too…your dad deserves some happiness." He said with a nod. "I think that job is too stressful on him sometimes."

Charlie was the chief of police in Forks, Washington. He loved his job but… "You're right. It is too stressful on him."

"He was really happy tonight. I haven't seen him that happy in awhile." He observed and once again I had to agree.

"Drew has gotten so big." Edward said in a shocked voice.

I laughed and said, "Well Dr. Cullen, babies do get big."

He laughed sarcastically and said, "Smart ass."

I grinned and sat back in my seat with a smile on my face. It has been a really good night and I couldn't wait to tell Carmen about it…and about this vacation thing.

"So you are serious about getting out of town this weekend?" I asked him and looked over to see his face relaxed and a smile creeping across his lips.

"Yeah, I think it would be good for us." He nodded and reached over to take my hand.

My heart beat heavily in my chest. "I love you Bella but we need to fix us…I finally see that."

I smiled at him and said, "I love you too Edward."

I leaned my head back in the seat and closed my eyes to focus on the soft soothing circles his thumb was rubbing into the back of my hand. Before I knew it we were pulling into the garage at our house. We got out of the car and headed into the house were Edward took my hand again. He didn't slip off into his study and he didn't try to make an excuse to avoid coming upstairs with me. We ascended the stairs together hand in hand. When we got into our room we both stepped into the closet and started changing our clothes. I pulled out some sweatpants and an old t-shirt to slip into and just as I was about to pull my shirt over my head I felt his hands on mine stopping them from removing the shirt. He was standing behind me and leaned forward so that I could feel his warm breath on my neck.

"I've missed you Bella." He whispered sending shivers down my back and legs. The area between my legs tingled a little as he removed my hands from my shirt and started tugging it upwards himself.

God, I have craved his touch so much that I got wet from him removing my shirt. I lifted my hands and let him pull it all the way off before his lips touched my shoulder. I rolled my head back to grant him more access as his arms wrapped around my waist and he pulled me back to him so that I could feel his bare chest against my back. I hummed as he sucked up the side of my neck and then twisted our fingers together.

His lips traveled all the way up my neck to my ear so that he could whisper. "I love you."

I turned in his arms and wrapped my arms around his neck to pull him closer to me. "I love you too." I told him and then leaned up to put our lips together softly.

Soon we were falling into the bed in a tangle of limbs. Edward kissed and caressed every inch of me before finally sinking in and relieving us both of three months of built of tension. I slept like a baby that night in Edward's arms and when I woke up the next morning it was nearly past noon. I must have really needed some sleep. I sat up and stretched in the bed with a smile on my face that would make the Cheshire cat jealous. Anxiously I reached over to my nightstand and grabbed my Mac to send Carmen an email. She would be pleased to hear this.

I read her response to my email from yesterday hurriedly because I couldn't wait to tell her about last night. I started it out calmly…

Carmen…I had sex last night! I know what you are about to say, 'with who Bella?' Edward and I had sex last night and it was amazing and more needed than I could have imagined. I guess we really don't know what we need until we have it and then we can't get enough right? Is it sad to say that I forgot how good sex can be, especially with Edward. Last night we went to my father's for a family dinner. He actually agreed to go with me and even got off work early so that we wouldn't be late. The whole time I watched him play with my nephew and it was so adorable seeing him do something that made him so happy. Maybe it was the baby but he seemed so willing to fix us last night. He even suggested himself that we take a vacation this weekend. I think it would be a great idea to do so…what do you think? Could it help us? I don't think it could hurt…I am kind of excited to get away for a few days. Maybe I can rediscover my husband this weekend.

I know the next thing that is going to come out of your mouth is… 'describe to me how this started.' Well, how does it normally start?

I described the entire night to Carmen and when I was done I sent the email and then got up to take a shower. When I came back out in my bathrobe I fell down on the bed and opened my new email from Carmen.

Bella I could not be happier for you and Edward. And hell yes girl…pack your bags and get ready for that trip. Don't forget your lingerie and a few little extras (you know what I mean). Hell…don't wear anything but lingerie on your trip. It will drive him wild and then your whole weekend will be spent with you discovering how good you two are together. You could probably start taking it up a few notches now. Leaving him notes in unexpected places. Showing him how much you care…and letting him know what you think about while he is at work. Briefcases are the best place but you could try pants pockets or jacket pockets. His car is a good place too. Tape a big nasty smutty letter to his radio. He won't be able to contain himself all day thinking about getting home to you. I am glad that things are starting to improve.

Fix him another nice dinner tonight and go for something a bit more exotic…wear a short red dress serve cocktails instead of wine. Fix him oysters…we all know what happens after a plate full of oysters ;) Keep up the good work and let me know if you need any other advice. Have a good day.

Ok :D What did you think? Tell me the truth I can take it...maybe.(Hides behind desk chair)
