Prince Of The Underworld

Chapter Three

Bella's Point Of View

Taking Masen from Edward to put him in the car proved to be more of a challenge than I first thought. He started throwing a tantrum which caused us to nearly drop him; I thought we agreed best behaviour kid. He never usually did this. He'd always been good tempered. Maybe he knew in his subconscious that Edward was special. Kids seemed to have a sixth sense about that stuff, don't they. Well, that's what I read in one of the many parenting books Esme had brought me.

''Easy little man. You're mommy just wants to put you in your car seat.''

''No!'' Okay so Masen's vocabulary was limited but 'no' seemed to be his favourite word. He thought it was funny most of the time. Like when I called him to me and he would say no and he would then run away on his podgy little legs until I caught him. Not today though. Today he was being stubborn. I didn't know where he gets it from... okay, okay it's from me. I couldn't help it he had to inherit something of mine. it just had to be one of my pain in the ass traits.

''But you need to go in the car here.'' Pulling his keys out of his pocket, he showed them to Masen who looked at the shiny key chain and the small flash light that he started shining on the car. How was he so good with him already? I knew we had tough times ahead but they were like two peas in a pod already.

As soon as Masen was fully occupied, I try to take him again and this time he came happily, not letting go of the keys. He started to shake them causing a small jangly noise which he started giggling at as Edward opened car door for me.

''Thank you. It's hard to do this when you only have one pair of hands.''

''You're welcome. I just need to make a quick phone call then we can leave.''

''Okay.''

So Alice brought the car seat of car seats. That woman must have spent a fortune on this! I've only seen them on the internet. I'm sure they came with a built in massager or something.

''Good evening Miss Swan. It's lovely to have you back.'' Turning to the front of the car, I saw the face of a man I didn't think I'd see again and a smile lit up my face.

''Oh my god Chief!'' His chuckle filled the air as he stepped out of the car. I quickly checked to make sure Masen was in his chair properly and then I bounced around to him. This man kept me safe on more than one occasion and looked after me like a father would his daughter. He was always ready with advice and a shoulder to cry on when things got too much.

''There's my girl. He wasn't the only one that missed ya, you know.'' He nodded towards Edward who had come back from his phone call flanked by Esme.

''It's good to see you healthy pops.''

''I'm as healthy as a horse. I'm a real man. I can outrun and out shoot your fella there.''

''Keep wishing gramps.'' Edward playfully slapped him on the shoulder. ''We'll see who shoots better at the range this week. You've only beaten me once.''

''Now, now boys. Me and Esme could wipe the floor with both of you. Now, I have a hungry baby who needs to be fed, bathed and put down. Do you think we could get to this big house sometime today?''

I turned away and walked to the other side of the car to get in listening to them both scoff at my statement. Esme followed me around and got in the car next to me and Edward took the front seat next to Charlie who is still muttering under his breath about not being beaten by a woman, let alone one as clumsy as me. Yeah, so I tripped whilst running from one of the black mutts and he had to pick me up and fling me over his shoulder; it happened one time, the guy needs to let it go.

''Sorry Mr... I don't believe we've been introduced.'' Esme looked at me with a coy smile on her face. Ooo she's going to take him down.

''The name's Charles mam, but you can call me Chief, everybody else around here does.''

''Well Chief, as you seem to think you're good with a gun, care to place a wager?'' Edward who had turned around to face us during their little exchange was now looking at the Chief with an eyebrow raised and the corner of his lips turned up into a slight smile. This is going to be good.

''Well mam, I wouldn't want to take your cash but the Chief never turns down a wager.''

''You may just regret that Chief. You have no idea what my aunt is capable of.''

''We'll see.'' Edward shook his head and glanced from me to Masen before mouthing 'uh oh' to me.

''Yes we will.'' Esme winked at me and tossed her hair around her shoulders before putting head back against seat and closing her eyes. ''I never loose.''

I don't know whether the Chief didn't hear her or just choose to ignore her but he didn't reply to that comment. The car went silent apart from Masen playing with Edward's keys. I turned my body towards him and moved a small piece of his hair from his face. He held out the keys to me and shook them around.

''Are you playing with Daddy's keys? They're cool aren't they!'' Looking through the different things he was holding, I could see that Edward still has the keyring Alice got him made for his birthday attached to the bundle. It's a picture of the both of us at a family wedding, just after we first met. We were looking into each others eyes and smiling like fools; that was a great day. Glancing up at him, I saw him still watching us. I mouth 'I love you' and flipped the keyring between my fingers. Watching him mouth 'I love you' back made me feel like I did at the very beginning and I didn't think that will ever change.

''Um boss, we may have a slight problem.''

''What is it?'' His whole body was tense now and he was looking around the car to see if he can see what Chief was talking about. Esme was doing the same and I'd started to finger my gun that was still in my waistband, just in case. I needed to defend my family.

''I think the mutts have their pups following us. That black Volkswagen Rabbit has been tailing us for about ten minutes. I thought I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. It may have been coincidence but I just got a glimpse of the two little shits and I'm sure there part of the pack.'' Edward pulled out his phone and hit the speed dial.

''Emmett, we have pups tailing us. Where are Riley and Garrett... okay, I need you to have them meet us down by the docks. I'm going to get Chief to led them there. I want them dealt with but I will not have Masen and Bella in danger.'' He listened for a second then smiled and hung up.

''What's going on? Why are these fuckers following us? Can't I just shoot their tyres out. I have a silencer on my gun, no one would know.'' Edward turned to me in shock. ''What?''

''Nothing. I just keep forgetting you've had an Esme education, that's all.''

''You think you could shoot their tyres out whilst there car is moving?'' The chief asked whilst trying not to laugh.

''She doesn't think she can. She knows she can. I'd put money on her being able to get both tyres.'' Esme nodded at me before turning back to the men in the front of the car.

''A thousand bucks says she misses one. Two shots is all she gets.''

''You're on Chief.'' No pressure then. Thanks Esme. I should have kept my big mouth shut.

''Wait wait, Bella, you don't have to do this.''

''I know that Edward. I want to. They're stalking my family remember and I won't have any of my family messed with or hurt.'' Slipping my seat belt off, I turned around in my seat and climbed over it into the trunk. I quickly unclipped the window and lined up my target slipping the safety on my gun off. Little fuckers, they couldn't be more than eighteen; looks like they need to learn a lesson.

I took out the first tyre quickly and moved onto the second. That took a little longer. I had to wait to get my aim dead on but when I did they started to loose control. I even took out a third tyre when they sped off the road. My work here was done. Slipping the safety back onto my gun, I shut the window and climbed back into my seat.

''Well I'll be damned! Bella Swan can shoot a gun!'' The Chief laughed from the front seat. Edward just looked at me with a shit eating grin on his face and Esme winked at me like it was no big deal.

''I believe you owe this lovely lady some cash Chief.''

''I do little Bell, I do.''

''I'll just let Riley know where to pick the little shits up.'' Edward quickly typed out a text and then turned back to us. ''I can't wait to see what else you can do. That was hot Bella.'' I could feel my blush from the tips of my ears to the tips of my toes; he thinks I'm hot! Well he had always thought that but that's irrelevant, he thought I was hot now.

''She can do much more than that Edward. I taught her well. She'll make a great partner to you.''

''She always has been a great partner. She can just shoot a gun now and shoot well. You could give a lot of my men and myself a good competition in the range. I think you're going to loose more money to them Chief.''

''Nah not happening.''

''Are we okay now? There's no one else I have to take out is there? I'm in the mood now.''

''Sorry to disappoint you little Bell. Everything looks good for now and we're coming off at the next exit. We're nearly at the house.''

''Good, I think the little man is going to be asleep soon.'' Esme pointed at Masen who had let the keys he was playing with go limp in his hands, his eyes were fluttering shut and his mouth agape. Looks like I'll be up late with him tonight. He'll wake up for food soon and then he won't want to go back down until he has to.

''He's worn out. He's had a long and exciting day.'' Leaning forward, I quickly place a peck on his cheek and put his dummy in his mouth. I tried to slide the keys out of his grip but he' was not letting them go. As soon as he started to fuss, I backed off and left him alone. I just hoped the keys to the house weren't on there or we were never getting in.

''I hope you're not wanting these keys back any time soon, he seems pretty attached to them.''

''He's good. I'm not looking at going to far away from either of you anyway. We'll just have to teach him to open doors.'' Edward laughed and turned his attention to the landscape passing the windows. ''We only have a little way to go now. What do you think of the neighbourhood?''

''It's nice, really nice. Must have been a cool place to grow up.''

''What I can remember of it was yeah. Hopefully Masen will like it.''

''Wait, are you planning on us living out here full time?''

''Yeah why don't you want to? I mean, we can move somewhere else if you don't like this house or we could renovate or I'll buy some land and we can build somewhere. That's a good idea actually, maybe we should look in to that.'' Great, I caused a great Edward Cullen to ramble. He was cute when he did it but it got annoying when he doubted himself so much. He was so strong in his line of work but there's a little boy buried in there that worries about everything.

''Edward, slow down. It's fine. I'm sure this house will be great. I just never saw you living outside the city, that's all.''

''Well it's not much of a commute and I like being out of the way. It's easier to switch off out here in the quiet.''

''You need to stop worrying so much. I'm back now. You're not loosing me again. I'd live in a cardboard box if it meant I could stay with you. This is us now okay?''

''I'm sorry Bella, for everything. I should never have sent you away. I always knew something was off that day I came home. I could feel your presence in the house. When I came in, I just put it down to missing you so much so I left. When he told me to, I just thought he was entertaining a lady friend or something.'' That thought made a cold shiver run down my spine. Any woman that got close to that man was used, abused and thrown in the garbage.

''You weren't to know. You can't punish yourself for anything that happened back then. You always acted in my best interest. You even let me go when you didn't want to because you wanted me to have a chance at a life away from the mob but I learnt something when I was with Esme. I wasn't born to be normal and boring. I was born to be with you and live in this world. This isn't just your world any more, it's ours.''

''Thank you for forgiving me.''

''There's nothing to forgive, not now, there never was. There's only one person that needs to be punished so you need to stop punishing yourself.''

''He will be punished.'' Mob boss Edward was back now, the anger in his eyes was evident. That anger had brought many a man to their knees. He was so amazing to people until they cross him then he was like a lion ripping his prey to shreds without a second thought and god help anyone that messed with his family. They had slow, painful deaths. He always protected me from that part of his life but small things crept through. I saw his bloodied, battered hands and heard some of the conversations that were held in the brownstone that I shouldn't have. This business was ruthless but it's what he did, it's what we do now. No one messed with the Cullens. We own this city and that won't be changing whilst we had anything to do with it.

''You won't be hurt by him again. I won't allow it and he certainly won't be getting his hands on you, maybe I should..'' He stopped then lost in thought.

''Hold that thought boss. We're here.'' Looking out the window as we pulled in to a semi circle drive, I took in the house for the first time. It was fucking amazing. It was white with blue shutters around the windows, the front door was flanked by pillars and the gardens were well groomed.

''This place is amazing.'' Esme opened her door and climbed out and I followed slowly, still taking everything in. ''Wow!''

''I'll grab Masen. Bella, you take your time.''

''Thanks Esme.'' Edward walked up to me and took my hand. ''Why the fuck did he make you all live in the brownstone when you had this?''

''I take it you like it? I just hope Alice has done a good job with the inside.''

''Edward, this is Alice you're talking about. My niece knows how to decorate a house, it's in her blood.'' My little man had his head on Esme's shoulder. He was completely out of it bless him.

''Do you want me to take him Esme?''

''No, let his daddy take him up to bed.'' She handed Masen to Edward and he walked towards the front door just as Jasper opened it to let us all in. He quickly walked away giving us time to take everything in on our own.

''I have no idea which room is even his. Alice will need to give us both the grand tour.''

''It's okay, we'll find it. We can probably just put him down on the sofa for now. We'll have to wake him up for food soon.''

''Okay, I have some business I need to attend to which may take a while. I'll get you both settled first though.''

''I want to come with you.'' The pain that crossed Edward's face at my request made me cringe. He stopped in the entrance hall and pleaded me with his eyes not to press the subject.

''I don't think that's a very good idea Bella. It's going to be messy.''

''I just want to make him pay.'' The whiny sound that comes from my mouth surprised me. I didn't usually sound like that; I never whine.

''I know baby. I just don't want you to see me like that. I'm a monster Bella.''

''No, no you're not a monster. You protect your family, don't ever think that.'' Grabbing his face in my hands being careful not to jolt Masen, I kiss him. ''Please don't believe that.''

''I just.. you can have your time with him once I'm done if you still want too but I'll be there with you, okay?''

''Okay thank you.''

''Come, let's put this little man down.'' As we walked into the den, Alice's influence became apparent. Not only was it lovely but it was child friendly too. She had even set a travel cot up. She had thought of everything. She must have known Edward would be okay with the introduction of Masen into his life. How she knew I'd never know but I'm glad she did. ''Um do I just lay him down in that thing?''

''Just let me pull the cover back.'' Now all I need is Quackers. ''I just need to go and grab his bag. If he wakes up without his bear, he'll freak.''

''Would you help me first. I don't want to hurt him.'' Silly man.

''Just support his head and bum, you'll be fine.'' He lowered him down slowly with more care than I've seen him use with anyone but me.

''I thought you might need Quackers.'' Esme came into the room, a small smile dancing on her lips.

''Thank you, I was just coming for him.'' Taking the bear and placing it under the covers, I quickly place a kiss on my baby's head. ''Sleep well special boy.'' I'm going to give that man shit for putting a gun to him before he was able to protect himself. How could anyone threaten an unborn baby?

''Sorry to interrupt Edward but we have work to do.'' I turned to see Jasper stood behind me. How that man moved so quietly was beyond me.

''What? No hello Jazzy?'' Little shit best not be ignoring me.

''Sorry little miss Bella. It's great to see you kid.'' Wrapping his arms around me, he gave me a quick squeeze. ''You did good, that's one great little boy. Alice is always playing the videos you sent.'' Placing a kiss on my forehead, he shuffled on his feet before turning back to Edward.

''You couldn't have given us a little longer. Fuck Jasper.''

''This is important. We have to show him who's boss. He's going to think you're bluffing.'' Moving dangerously close to him, Edward got right in his face. This doesn't look good. Questioning Edward was a bad move on Jasper's part, he should know him better than this by now.

''Don't forget who you're talking to. I won't have you disrespecting me in my home.'' Visibly gulping, Jasper stepped back holding his hands out in front of him in a sign of peace. '''Just remember I don't care who you're married to. You work for me. You have the lifestyle you do because of us, don't forget that.''

''I'm sorry boss. I just want to punish him for everything he's done. He hurt this family, especially my wife.''

"You think I don't know that? At least you've had Alice with you. For the last two years, I had to live without my Bella.'' Hanging his head, Jasper didn't respond this time, he just nodded gently. ''Who is with him?''

''Peter and Emmett. Alistair went with Riley to pick up the mutts. They're taking them to the docks. I'll deal with them later unless you want to do it?'' I'd like to deal with them little runts, stalking my family like prey. Pfft ... they'd only try that once.

''No, no I'll leave them in your capable hands. I don't want to get mutt blood on my shoes unless it's Black himself. I'd like some time with him.''

''We're working on it, believe me.''

''I'd like to kick that dick head into shape. Has he learnt any manners in the last two years?'' That ass was one of the reasons Edward sent me away.

''Unfortunately not and don't worry, if I get anywhere near him you can taunt him as much as you like.'' YES!

''I look forward too it.''

"Jeez, Bella! Chief said you had game, I didn't believe him until now.''

''Little Bell can kick ass now... Talking off kicking ass, when can I get my hands on your daddy. I've been waiting years for a chance at beating that bloke.'' Chief stood in the door way, stuffing his face full of chips, looking very at home.

''Don't speak with your mouth open man.'' Esme chastised him and he dipped his head. ''I need to teach you boys some manners. Obviously Carlisle never did.''

''Chief, are you blushing?'' He was. He was blushing. Oooo, someone has a crush.

''No I am not.'' He so is! Silly old man. ''I don't blush.'' Suddenly his phone became very interesting. ''Oh boss I forgot. Heidi and Tanya did that job this morning. Everything went to plan.'' Heidi and Tanya. Now there's a power couple. I'm glad they're still together. They're a forced to be reckoned with and insanely loyal; I liked them a lot.

''Good. Can you all give us a moment please. I would like to talk to Bella before we deal with business.'' He gestured towards the door.

''We'll meet you out back, come on Chief.'' Jasper left flanked by Chief and Esme who was muttering under her breath about his clothes; she really got it in for him.

Ignoring our departing family, Edward walked towards me and took my face in his hands, placing a kiss on my forehead then both my cheeks. Then my eye lids before finally settling on my lips. He started kissing me slowly, passionately but I wanted more. Running my hands down his back, I grab his ass and push myself against his cock which starts to harden beneath my touch.

''I want you so much Bella.''

''Then take me, I need you.'' Lowering his hands down to the back of my knees, he lifted me so my legs were wrapped around him. He walked us towards the sofa at the far side of the room and lowered me down. I undid his slacks and slip my hand into the top of his boxers.

''Fuck Bella...Shit.''

''I missed this, I missed us.'' Slipping his hands under my tank top, he pulled down the cups of my bra and started to tease my breasts. ''That feels good baby...God.''

"You're mine Bella, only mine.''

''Yours.'' Taking him in my hand, I started to move up and down his shaft slowly, doing some teasing of my own as he kissed down my neck towards where his hands were working at my breasts.

''Fuck me.''

''Yes please.'' I growled, nipping at his bottom lip. Increasing my speed made him more eager. He moved one of his hands down to the top of my jeans and unclasps them, slipping his God like fingers into the top of my panties whilst thrusting into my hand.

''Can you be quiet Bella? We can't wake the baby.'' Running his fingers across my slit excited a quiet moan from my lips. The wetness between my legs increased with each pass of his fingers, leaving my panties soaked.

''Stop teasing me.''

''Tell me what you want.''

''I want you to fuck me with your fingers.'' That's all the invitation he needed because he slammed to fingers into me and started pumping in and out quickly with a much force as he could. The air around us filled with quiet moans and I bit down on his shoulder to stop myself calling out. Shit I'm close.

''I'm close Bella. Please come with me.'' Pinching down on my numb, he brought on my release and he followed coming into my hand in three hot spurts soon after.

''Isabella Swan, I love you.''

''I love you too.''

''Edward, I need to talk to you about your staff.'' Esme barged into the room and stomped over to us. ''SHIT! I'm sorry, I'll come back.'' Exiting the room as quickly as she entered it, she closed the door quietly behind her leaving us alone again.

''At least she didn't come in a few minutes earlier. She would have got a show then. You don't think we disturbed Masen do you? I should have thought before I attacked you like that.''

''Edward, he's all the way over there and we were quiet. He's fine, he's a really deep sleeper. He gets that from his daddy.'' Running my hand down his cheek, he sighed into it.

''I know I have a lot to make up for and a lot to learn about being a father but I want to do it. I think Alice has been preparing me for this in her own way for the last year or so. She always told me you'd come back. She made me believe that we'd have a family someday. That's why I took this place. I want my family to live here. Letting you go was the hardest and worst thing I've ever done. I won't be making that mistake again. I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you.''

''It's over. We're back together. You have nothing to make up for. This is something that had to happen. I'm stronger now and I'm ready to face this life with you and I fully believe I'll be able to kick ass in my position next to you, no one will break us up again.''

''I want to know everything that's happened in the last two years. I want to know everything about Masen and I want to make love to you until the sun comes up.'' Twiddling a strand of hair around his finger, he stared longingly into my eyes.

''We have the rest of our lives to love each other.''

''Edward, get off Bella and come beat up your daddy.'' Emmett's bombing voice carried in from the hallway making Edward groan.

''I'm really sorry. I have to leave to deal with this but if I don't go soon, they might start without me. You know what Emmett is like. I'm sure Masen has more patience.'' Lifting himself off me and straightening himself out, he leaned into kiss me one more time.

''It's okay, I understand. Come get me when you're ready for me. I just want to have my say before you do what ever it is that you need to do.''

''Please stay here until someone comes for you okay? I don't want you in there until I know I can control myself.''

''I have to make Masen some food. I'll keep myself busy doing that. When will Alice and Rose get here?''

''They had to show their faces at the reception. How they're going to explain the missing groom I don't know. They should be by later tonight or tomorrow morning.''

''EDWARD!'' The door flung open and Emmett strutted in.

''Emmett I swear to God if you wake that baby, I'm going to put a cap in your ass!'' Jumping up, I stalked over to Mase to check he was still sleeping soundly.

''Sorry.''

''You're just lucky he's still asleep.'' I love this man but he has less brain cells than a fish at times.

''Emmett, we need to get something clear before we leave this room. When you're in this house and my son is asleep, you will be quiet, do you understand?''

''Yes boss.''

''If there's a next time, I'll let her put a cap in your ass.''

''Baby Bell wouldn't do that to me.''

''If you wake the baby up before he's ready I will. Don't test me. He can be a grouchy shit when he's woken up before he's ready.''

''Yeah Edward's like that, ain't ya little bro.''

''If you want to leave here with your ass intact, I suggest we leave now.''

''Okay, laters Bella.''

''In a bit Em.''

''He's okay right?'' Edward looked over at Masen.

''He's fine, go! this could take a while so the sooner you go, the sooner you get to come back.''

''Okay. When you come out, bring your gun, just in case.''

''I will.'' With one last kiss and a quick check of Masen, he left us to take care of the man that could have ended us both.

So as not to sit and worry, I flipped on the baby monitors and clipped one to my belt so I could explore a little. After walking through the entrance hall and opening a few doors, I reached the kitchen where I found Esme sat at the breakfast bar, flicking through a magazine.

''This kitchen is ... WOW!''

''Oh you made me jump. Listen Bella, I'm sorry about before. I should have knocked before I barged in. I knew you two wanted some time, I should have respected that. It's just the Chief really grinds on my nerves. I want to kick his ass and buy him a new wardrobe, actually all the men here could use a make over. I'll have to consult Alice.''

What where did all that come from? ''It's fine Esme. We just got a little carried away. We should have been more careful. Are you okay, you seem a little wired.''

''I'm fine really. What do you think of the house?'' Hmm, what's up with her.

''I love it, it's very Edward. I can't wait to hear about his memories of this place."

''I'm sure he has a lot to share. You've changed you know. Already I can tell you're happier and more comfortable; it's the same with him.''

''He makes me feel safe and like I'm home. I love him so much.'' Quickly wiping away the tears that have fallen down my cheek, I smiled at Esme, truly happy for the first time since I'd left.

''We're going to have a good life here. I like it already, I'm ready for some action.''

''Really?'' With a wink and as much innuendo as I can manage, I nudged Esme's side.

''Oh please, I'm too old for that!''

''You're never too old for some lovin.''

''It's been too long Bella.''

''When you meet someone and it feels right, it'll happen.''

''Maybe.'' After a short pause, she continued. ''Are you sure you want to go out there? It might be messy.''

''Yeah I'm sure. I want to scare him as much as he scared me if that's possible.'' A throat clearing at the back door alerted us to Jasper's entry into the house.

''Sorry to interrupt, Bella. Edward said you can come out if you still want to. He told me to warn you that there's a lot of blood and mess. It's fine if you've changed your mind. I can tell him that if you like.''

''No I want to. Esme, are you okay to watch out for Masen for a while?''

''Of course. Do what you have to do. Let me take the monitor off you, that way I'll hear him if he stirs."

''Thank you.'' Pulling my gun out to check it over, I made sure the safety was firmly on before putting it back into my belt and walking towards the back door. It's time to show Carlisle just who he messed with. I might not have been strong enough to take him on back then but I am now. He won't intimidate me again. ''Right, I'm ready. Lets go.''
