Changing Tides

Chapter 9

EmPOV

The house was coming along great.

Giving them a place to live and endless supplies was one of Edward's better ideas.

"Sam, this is wonderful. Deadline?" I asked as did an impromptu check-in.

"It's looking good Emmett, I think you'll have your New Year."

"You'll have a nice bonus if so Sam." I clapped him on the back.

He gave me a walk through and I was quite impressed.

"I'd like to bring Edward and Tanya back the day after Christmas, of course you guys have Christmas off." I reminded him.

"Some of the guys that don't have families, will work on and off and we'll cook a meal here. It's what we'd do anyway." Sam shrugged.

"Then I'll be adding in a bonus for Christmas day." I promised.

Sam thanked me.

Christmas was one of the best times ever; I don't know who smiled more, Bella or Tiegan. I swear it was a tie. We should've hired a professional photographer for today there were so many memories and when we told everyone we were pregnant, the day got even better.

That night after we got home and tucked a very happy Tiegan in bed, I made love to Bella and whispered over and over to her how much I loved her.

Bella was very sleepy the next day and Tiegan wanted to play with her new toys, dad volunteered to stay with them and keep an eye on Bella while the rest of us ran some errands, in reality we were all going to the house. I wanted mom and Tanya to check it out and to help decorate it, I knew she'd been talking to them both and Esme had snuck her wish book out so we could go order supplies.

Calling to check in dad said Bella had been sick a few times during the day and was resting now.

"Will she be up to dinner? Mom wants for you to drive and meet us."

"She should. She'd been sleeping about three hours." Dad chuckled.

"Wow. How's Tiegan?" I asked.

"She's great. She took a short nap, I fed her lunch and then we played Barbie's."

"Oh, you're brave. She usually wants to do make-up." I laughed.

"She wanted to, but I told her next time and promised she could do my hair too."

"You're in for it now. She'll want to come over tomorrow."

"Good thing I'm working the next 72 hours. Let me get these girls ready, text me where to meet you for dinner."

Christmas was the best I've had since I was a little girl.

Seeing the smiles on everyone's faces when we told them we were pregnant, confirmed that I'd marry Emmett no matter what. I could deal living in the guest house a few more months, as long as we were together, we had Tiegan and then our newest addition.

I woke up the day after Christmas with the worst morning sickness.

Carlisle rushed in with Tiegan hot on his heels and they pampered me while I was sick and until I fell asleep.

"Bella, time to get up. Esme wants us to meet for dinner." Carlisle woke me gently.

"Do I have time to shower?" I groaned.

"Yes. I've got Tiegan all ready. We'll be watching cartoons." He walked out shutting the door.

Dinner was great, I felt better after eating and seeing Emmett.

"Did you have a good day at work?" I asked as we ate.

"I did. I brought Tanya to look at another house. Edward wants to start using her more in the business and making her our decorator, will be great for everyone. Mom's even been working with her on a few projects to get her name out there." Emmett smiled.

"Wow. That's really great. I'm glad she's coming around."

"I think it's all because of you babe." Emmett kissed me.

The next couple of days leading up to New Years were crazy.

"Bella, we should try your dress on you and see if you are going to need adjustments." Esme smiled.

"Esme, I'm not going to be wearing it until after the baby is born." I scoffed.

"OH Emmett! He didn't tell you? We were going to get pictures out in the meadow of you in your wedding dress in the snow. He really wanted pictures, because he wanted to get married on New Year's." Esme smiled at me and helped me into the dress.

"Bella, how far along are you?" Esme asked.

"I'm guessing a few weeks. I haven't been to a doctor yet."

"Well your belly is poking a little." She rubbed it.

"That could be the breakfast Emmett made this morning." I laughed. "He's insisting that I'm going to be eating a full breakfast every morning that I wake up, not sick. That way on the mornings that I'm sick, my body won't be so deprived of nutrients."

"When did he become a doctor?" Esme laughed.

"I don't know." I shook my head.

"Well at least the dress still fits, your little belly looks adorable. You're so tiny that you do look pregnant, Emmett's going to love these! And he won't see them until after the wedding, no matter the date. He just wants pictures of you in the snow." Esme rolled her eyes.

"Great, Tiegan and I get to freeze our butts off for crazy pictures."

"Emmett loves his girls."

"And we love him."

We finished with the dress and went to the kitchen for some drinks.

Esme left and Tiegan and I played, napped and started dinner; we were finishing the mac n cheese when Emmett walked in and threw Tiegan over his shoulder and made her fly like a plane and blew a raspberry on my neck, followed by Tiegan attempting to do the same.

"Smells good. I'm starving."

"What did you have for lunch?" I asked.

"We ordered pizza, but that was hours ago." He whined.

"Help Tiegan set the table, I'm almost finished."

I plated the food while they poured the drinks and we sat down to eat and talked about our day.

"I've got a doctor appointment on the tenth of January." I filled him in.

"Great! What time? I'll make sure I clear my schedule."

"9:15. I wanted first thing in the morning, it's easier for Esme to cover the class during story and playtime." Emmett nodded as he shoveled food in his mouth.

"I'll just go in late too." He agreed after swallowing.

"What are our plans for New Year's? Your mom had me try on my dress and said I'm taking pictures you insisted on. You do realize I'll freeze my ass off, right?" I asked him.

"Babe, I'll have heaters out there, I've got it all thought out. Trust me." He squeezed my hand.

"I'll always trust you. I love you."

"I love you too daddy." Tiegan sing-songed.

We finished dinner and then had some cookies Tiegan and I had made for dessert with milk.

I passed out that night with Emmett sweet touches and an all over body massage because he knew how tired I was, he was such a sweet and caring man, it didn't always have to be sex with him as long as when we went to bed at night we didn't go to sleep angry with each other it was all good and we ended the night with a kiss.

"Bella, do you know how much I love you?" Emmett asked as I laid on his chest after the massage.

"I think I have a clue, because I love you just as much."

AN:

Don't you just love these two?

New Year's is next… :0)
