Chapter 10

EPOV

I walked through a forest.

James jumped from a tree and came charging in my direction.

"Fucker, she's mine."

He had a knife in his hand.

When he lunged at me, I moved to the side.

"You can't kill me," I yelled at him.

James ran at me again, and I twisted his wrist.

He fell to the ground and I picked up the knife.

I stabbed him till I knew he was dead.

His blood ran over the forest floor.

I ran till I reached a heavy door.

Jerking it open, I was surrounded by flowers.

There was a bed in the middle of the room.

Bella was there, sleeping peacefully with her hand under her face.

I was by her side, caressing her soft skin.

Carefully, I lifted her body in my arms.

"Beautiful, wake up. He's gone. You're safe."

My lips covered hers gently.

Her eyes fluttered open, and she gazed into mine.

"My love...you saved me."

I held her as we kissed.

Sunlight filled the room, making it too bright.

I opened my eyes to find that we were in my room.

As I looked down, I saw that Bella was still sleeping.

She had no nightmares last night.

I said a silent prayer of thanks.

"I love you, my sleeping beauty."

Slowly, I moved from behind her, making sure she was covered up with a blanket.

The weather was starting to get cooler now.

Today would be a perfect day to stay inside.

The rain was coming down in a steady shower.

I took a pair of pajama pants out of the dresser and slid them on.

The house was a bit chilly, so I had an idea.

I went into the den and set some wooden logs in the fireplace.

I lit it on fire once it was set in place.

Minutes later, the room was filled with warmth.

I laid out the blankets from the back of the couch on the floor along with the pillows.

I had to get breakfast started for us.

Bella needed a day to relax.

I had a small feast ready for her...eggs, bacon, bagels, coffee, and strawberries.

I moved the tray to the living room so it would be ready for us.

I took the stairs by twos and walked into the bedroom.

My girl was still sleeping.

I sat beside her and ran my fingers over her face.

"Edward...mmmm..love you"

She was dreaming about me.

"I love you, too," I whispered before I kissed her lips.

This was my favorite way to wake her.

"Good morning, Bella."

She opened her eyes slowly and smiled.

"Hi," she said softly.

She sat up and I pulled her into my arms.

"You slept better last night than you have lately."

"It's all due to you, Edward," she said as she began to sit up.

"Are you hungry?"

She pushed her hair out of her face.

"I am kind of hungry. Did you cook breakfast? I smell something good."

"Yeah, I have it ready and waiting for you downstairs."

She shivered in my arms.

"Let me get you something to wear. It bothers me when you're cold."

"I have a slip in my bag," she offered.

After looking through it, I took out a black one that I wanted to see on her.

She reached out her hand and I gave it to her.

"Can you give me a moment please?"

"Yeah, take all the time you need."

She walked into the bathroom, emerging moments later looking sexy.

Looking at her clad in satin was getting me hard.

"Take my hand, baby."

We walked downstairs and I led her over to the fireplace.

The look of joy on her face was more than worth the effort I put into this.

"Edward, you went to too much trouble."

"I want to spoil you endlessly."

I captured her lips in a slow kiss.

She shuddered in my arms.

"You're amazing," she said as I kissed her hair.

We sat down on the blanket and I handed her some coffee.

"This looks delicious."

She took a sip as I placed the tray between us.

"Are you warm, baby?"

"Yes, thank you for building the fire. It's very romantic."

I could not wait to have her naked on this blanket with my mouth all over her curves.

But she needed to eat first.

Her appetite was getting stronger, but she had a way to go before it was better.

I knew who was responsible for that, and it burned me up that he mistreated her..

At least I could kill him in my dreams, and I enjoyed every moment of it.

"Thank you for making breakfast. Everything tasted good, but I think I'm getting full now."

"It was no problem. Let me take this back into the kitchen."

"Do you need any help?"

"No, I'm fine, make yourself comfortable."

I took the tray into the kitchen and deposited the dishes into the sink.

When I got back into the living room, she was stretched out like a kitten over the blanket.

"Baby, you look so sexy and seductive."

I laid down next to her, cradling her body in my arms.

"I intend for you to relax today. We can go over the kids' journals in a few hours."

"That sounds wonderful. Having a lazy day with you makes all the difference in the world.

We kissed again. and my hands ran over her body.

Her slip emphasized her lush curves.

Her tongue swept over my lips and I felt my cock getting harder.

"Mmmmm, Edward, I love you."

"I love you, Bella," I said before kissing her ear. "I had an interesting dream about us."

"Would you like to tell me?"

"Basically, I killed James and I found you in a room, sleeping."

I could tell that the wheels of her mind were spinning over this.

"What did you do when you found me?"

"I touched your face and held you in my arms. I kissed your mouth to wake you up."

An endearing smile came over her face.

"So I was your sleeping beauty?"

She palmed my cheek with her small hand.

"Yes you were," I told her as I kissed her fingers.

She looked beautiful as she searched my eyes.

"That was always my favorite fairy tale. My mom used to read it to me when I was little."

I had this picture in my mind of a smaller version of her listening to the story with rapt attention.

In my mind's eye, I saw her long hair pulled back, her face resting in her hands.

I was sure she looked like a doll when she was little.

If we had a daughter, I hoped she would look exactly like Bella.

"My mom always told me that I'd find my Prince Charming, but I never believed her."

"I never claimed to be that, but I would do anything to give you a happily ever after."

I saw tears in her eyes.

"I know we'll have one, Edward, because you treat me like royalty. I never want for anything since you came into my life."

Her words went straight to my heart

"You'll always be my princess, and I promise to spoil you every day of our lives together," I told her before giving her forehead a kiss.

She had her hands in my hair, lazily playing with it.

"Do you want a lot of kids?" she asked my as her fingers scraped my scalp.

Her touch sent shivers over my body.

"I'd love to have more than two, maybe four. It all depends on what you are comfortable with, Bella, and what your body can handle."

I knew she would have trouble becoming pregnant.

That did not change the fact that I wanted to have as many kids with her as possible.

"I want to give you what you want," she said as she looked into my eyes.

"You already have, beautiful. Having children will just make our life even better."

I ran my nose over her neck, inhaling her luscious scent.

"You will be so beautiful when you're pregnant, baby."

I moved my hand over to her stomach.

I kissed her skin as she moaned.

"I worry that I'll be unattractive and huge."

I moved my face over to hers.

"Let me reassure you right now that you have never been, nor will you ever be, unattractive in my eyes. Anyone who thinks that is an idiot."

I hated it when she saw herself this way.

Anytime we went out, I had to keep her close to me because men were always looking at her.

And not in a way that I appreciated.

"I guess I'm feeling a little insecure. You could have any woman you wanted, Edward."

"I don't want any other woman. You are it for me, Bella. Look at your finger."

I lifted her hand to let her see my ring.

"This is a symbol of a promise I made to you that I will keep. You are going to be my wife soon, and I intend on making you feel the love I have for you."

I sat up and pulled her into my lap.

"Right here is where I belong," she said as she curled up.

My girl had no reason to feel insecure.

Of course I understood why she felt this way.

"I'll never let you go,Edward."

"Good because I'm never letting you get away," I said as I laid her back on the blankets.

She had a genuine smile on her face that told me she was more relaxed .

The plate of strawberries was still sitting on the table near us.

I picked it up and chose one for her.

"Open up, baby," I said as I brought one to her mouth

I fed her a bite and she moaned, her eyes closing as she ate it.

WIth one finger, I pulled down one of her straps.

As she ate it, I kissed her exposed skin.

I pulled the other strap down, content to see more of her body.

It slid further down so I could see her nipples.

They hardened as the cool air hit them, and that response made me hungrier for her.

I grabbed another strawberry and ran it over them, before biting into it.

Her hands clutched my shoulders as I closed my mouth over her nipple as the juice ran over it

I sucked and nibbled on it greedily.

I pulled her slip off the rest of her bod, and set it aside.

She was so beautiful, and I couldn't wait to taste her everywhere

.

I took another piece of fruit and rubbed it down her stomach and over her clit.

"Ooooohhhh, yes."

I loved watching her body move as I touched her in the most intimate ways.

The swirl of her hips was tantalizing.

"Do you like this, sweet girl?"

I looked at her face and saw her nod in response.

"What about this?"

I took the strawberry and teased her pussy with it.

"Oooohhh.. mmm.. yes," she moaned.

Kissing my way down her stomach, I pushed it in and out of her slowly.

I spread her legs a little further apart and settled between them.

I teased her clit with my tongue; her eyes closed in response.

The juice of the strawberry and her sweet nectar were a potent combination.

I found myself closing my eyes too as I drank it all in.

I set the fruit aside and placed my fingers in her pussy.

Her hips instantly lifted off the floor as I pushed into her tight entrance.

I sucked her erect clit, determined to make her fall apart under my touch.

I loved hearing her moans and whimpers as I flicked my tongue over her sensitive clit.

"I'm...I'm coming."

That was exactly what I wanted to hear.

I pulled my fingers faster in and out of her wet pussy, never wanting to stop.

She came hard on my fingers, squirting on them.

"Mmmmmm, yes baby. That's it."

Her chest was heaving as she tried to take in more air.

I pulled my fingers out and sat up .

My pants had to come off because I was overwhelmed with need.

Once they were discarded, I buried my cock deep inside her, feeling her orgasm ebb away.

I began to take her slowly at first.

Her body rocked against mine as my mouth trailed over her neck to her face.

She gripped onto my shoulders as I moved inside her.

"I lo...love you Edward."

I moved my mouth over to her lips.

"You'll never know how much I love you, Bella."

We kissed deeply, our tongues meeting in a slow dance.

"I .. I can feel it," she murmured.

I had to give her more since it was impossible to hold back.

This sweet girl was my life, my everything, and I could never love her enough.

I would give her the world.

Her arms gripped around me now.

"Mmm, Edward, so good."

"Come for me, baby."

Her pussy tightened around my cock, pulling me in deeper.

I was not going to last much longer.

Almost as soon as she came, I felt my orgasm wash over my body.

The intensity of it took my breath away.

My heart felt as if it would explode.

"Ba...baby,,,mmmm"

I lowered myself down to her as I tried to keep all my weight off of her, but she wasn't having it as she pulled me flush against her.

"No, please don't let me go, Edward," Bella demanded.

"Never, never in a million years would I let you go."

"I love feeling you inside me. Don't move yet."

Honestly, I never wanted to pull out of her.

She was my home in all aspects of the word.

I held her close to me, her head in the crook of my neck.

I kissed the top of her head as my arms held her to me.

"Sweet girl, we might have made a baby since you stopped taking your birth control."

I felt her smiling against my neck.

"I love the thought of that. If we didn't, we can always try again."

"That we can as often as you want," I told her before I rolled to my side.

I moved upward to give her room to snuggle on top of me.

Her head was resting over my heart.

"I love this sound. I would be content to lie here all day and listen to it."

"We can stay like this for as long as you want."

"Forever?"

I ran my fingers through her hair, brushing it from her delicate face.

"Forever is a good starting place for us."

I closed my eyes in contentment as I listened to her soft breathing.

I was interrupted from our quiet time as my phone started ringing.

"Excuse me, Bella."

I got up and walked to the kitchen where my phone was.

"Hello?"

"Hey Edward, It's Alice."

"Hey baby sister. What's up?"

"I was calling to see how you were doing, and I need to talk with you about something important."

"I'm good. What did you need to tell me?"

"I arranged to have a photographer for the engagement picture that mom would like to have in the newspaper."

This had totally slipped my mind.

"When are we having this done? And what should we wear?" I asked looking over at my Bella.

She was laying there with her eyes closed and her hand on her flat stomach.

"He is available tomorrow afternoon, and he can come to Forks. This is the only thing that mom really wants for you all to do."

"What about the attire?"

"I already took care of it, both of your outfits will arrive in the morning. Color coordinated, of course," she said with a laugh.

"I can always count on you to do something like that, Alice. Thank you."

"It's no problem, Edward. Tell Bella I love her, and I have that certain lingerie set we were talking about waiting for her approval."

They talked about lingerie?

"I will do that. We'll talk soon, okay?"

"That's fine. Bye big brother."

I laid the phone down and made my way back to my girl.

Sitting beside sat beside her, I watched the soft rise and fall of her chest.

Soon I would marry her.

I laid my hand over hers on her stomach and I hoped that we made a baby.

We both wanted a family together.

"I can feel you watching me," she said softly as she opened her eyes.

"Watching you sleep is beautiful."

She pulled herself up into a sitting position.

"Alice called me a few minutes ago," I told her as I tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Is everything okay?"

'Yeah, she's fine. Actually, there is a small delivery coming from her in the morning. It's a set of clothes for you and me."

She had a puzzled look on her face.

"Why is a set of clothes coming here for us?"

"Alice hired a photographer to take our engagement picture for the paper."

"Really? I had not taken that into consideration," she said.

"She is sending the clothes for that reason. I think she did not want you to go into panic over finding something to wear.".

"She already knows me well because I would have been clueless about what to wear."

"Also she mentioned something about having a certain lingerie set ready for you to look at when you were ready."

She blushed in response.

I was rather curious about how it looked.

"What is it, love?" I asked.

"Alice and I talked about things I might need for our honeymoon."

She could barely look into my eyes.

"Alice mentioned something about how you would crawl on you hands on knees toward me when you saw me."

I would crawl on my hands and knees no matter what she was wearing.

"And she also mentioned something about a leather bra and panty set."

What did she just say?

Leather bra and panty set?

On my innocent Bella?

The thought of that was making me harder by the moment.

"Baby, I don't want to make up your mind for you, but I want you to know how I feel about that."

I placed her hand over my erection.

"Mmmm, Edward, I did not know it would affect you that way."

She had a tight grip on my cock.

I let out a groan as she pumped it up and down.

Bella got on her knees and opened her mouth.

I could not take my eyes off her as she began to draw me deeper in.

"Feels so good...suck me more, baby."

She pulled me out of her mouth, and I immediately missed her warmth.

"Does that mean that you want me to wear leather?"

She batted her lashes at me, and I was gone.

I really did not need to answer her question since she already knew what my response was.

"Get on your knees so I can fuck you."

I wanted to bury my cock in her wet pussy.

Her sweet ass was up for me and lined my cock with her entrance.

As I was pushing into her tight opening, she looked over her shoulder at me.

"Are you going to punish me?"

If that's what she wanted, I would gladly do it.

"Is that what you would like?" I asked.

"Mmm, I'm not about to say no"

I did not hesitate to spank her ass as I pounded her pussy.

"Fuck, you are so bad."

I closed my eyes and let the fantasy of her wearing leather take over my mind.

I wondered how she felt about other things of that variety.

We needed to have a very important talk soon.

"Spank me more, Edward."

I was so turned on by her, so I spread her legs further apart.

I slipped my fingers down to her clit.

I quickly flicked it several times as she bucked against me.

She was so wet that she was dripping.

"Yes.. oooohhh, fuck yes. More Edward, pinch my clit," she yelled.

I played with her clit till I felt her start to come.

I spanked her ass a few more times and I fucker her hard as my balls began to tighten

Her deep moans filled the room.

"Oh god... ooohh, Edward."

I could feel her walls trembling around me.

I started to come, filling her pussy till I sure it was going to overflow.

"Come baby, pl... please," I murmured as I pinched her clit again.

"Ed...Edward...fuck me...yes."

I rode her till I was almost spent, and then I felt her body shaking again.

Bella was having another orgasm on my cock.

I could feel her body trembling as she moaned and whimpered.

I stilled my movements so I could watch her fall apart.

"Fuck," she chanted as her body shook and I felt her go limp beneath me.

"That's it, sweet girl, let me feel it."

I knew she was feeling weak.

I slid out of her and scooped her up into my arms.

Her body was limp in my arms as I held her to my chest.

"Baby, talk to me please. Open your eyes," I said as I kissed her eyelids.

She was still in my arms.

Had she passed out?

"Sweet girl, I'm here when you come back to me."

I laid her down on the pillow.

Had I done too much to her?

Her breathing was normal.

I laid beside her to caress her face.

"Please baby, open those beautiful brown eyes for me," I murmured against her ear.

I leaned down and pressed my lips to hers.

"Wake up my beauty, my princess," I whispered.

"Mmm...Edward."

I barely heard her, but I knew she was fine.

I kept kissing her face, trying to wake her up.

"I love you, my future wife."

"I love you too, my future husband," she said as she opened her eyes and looked up at me.

"Are you okay?"

'I...I don't know. What happened to me."

"You became unconscious for a few minutes. It's not uncommon after having a powerful orgasm, and you had two back to back."

"Oh.. is that normal? Or is there something wrong with me?"

"No, sweet girl, you are completely normal."

I kissed her face softly.

"There was one good thing about it, though," I told her.

"What was it?"

"I got to live out part of my dream from this morning. You were my sleeping beauty for a few moments."

She smiled up at me, her eyes glowing with love.

"I'm sorry if I scared you."

'No, baby, I was not scared. You were breathing regularly, so it was only a matter of time before you woke up."

I hugged her tightly to me as we listened to the rain fall.

There's so much I wanted to talk to her about, but I knew that she needed to rest and then we could go over the journals.

"Sweet girl, would you like to take a small nap with me before we have lunch?"

"That sounds lovely," she responded as she stretched her arms over her head.

We spooned together and I pulled the blanket over us.

I kissed her shoulder softly.

'"Love you, Edward."

"Love you, too," I said as we settled in for a nap.

I woke later to hear Bella talking in her sleep.

"Your Daddy and I love you...my sweet child."

I was hoping she was dreaming about our future child.

I set my hand back over her belly.

Since she was no longer taking her birth control, perhaps she was already pregnant.

I was not going to get my hopes up, but there was a chance she might be.

We would keep trying, as if I minded that.

Bella began to move in my arms and she stretched her limbs.

She rolled over to face me.

"Hey. Did you sleep well?'

She looked over at me and nodded.

"I heard you talking in your sleep."

"I hope it was not something bad."

"No, it was sweet actually. You were talking to our baby, and I heard you tell it that we love him or her."

I hugged her tightly, her head resting over my heart.

"There is no doubt in my mind that I will love our baby so much, Edward. So much."

I took her face on my hands and placed a soft kiss on her lips.

"I will too, Bella," I whispered after I pulled back

"I need to look over the journals now. Is that okay?"

"Yes. I need to get lunch ready for us."

"Thank you. I am a little hungry since it's been awhile since breakfast"

"Hold on a let me get you something to drink."

She had not had anything since this morning, and I was certain she was thirsty.

I took a bottle from the fridge and brought it to her.

She drank a great deal of it before setting it down.

"What do you want to eat, baby?"

"Do you have any soup?"

"I have some in the cabinet. How about that and a sandwich?"

"That sounds good. Thank you."

She pulled her slip over her body and I slid my pants on.

I handed her the bag with the journals in it.

She started to dig them out as I made lunch.

"What did they have to write about this week?" I asked.

"I had them to draw a picture of what fall was to them."

I could hear her soft giggles from the kitchen.

She was an excellent teacher, and her students were very receptive to her.

I would steal glances at her every few minutes.

I was deeply, madly in love with her.

Soon, I had vegetable soup and ham sandwiches ready for us.

I poured two large glasses of tea.

I placed everything on the tray and walked into the other room.

"Are you almost done?"

She closed one of the journals and looked up at me.

"That smells delicious, love. I only have one journal left to go over. It's Emily's."

I sat the tray down and sat beside her.

"Can I see what she drew?"

Bella opened the journal and we looked at the drawing together.

I looked at the page and saw what I thought was a pumpkin.

"She's good, isn't she Edward?"

"Wow. I'm impressed. Emily thinks the world of you."

"She warmed up to you almost as quickly as I did."

"Yeah, I like her too. She seems to like to draw us a lot," I said pointing us out.

"Wow, she made me fat this time," Bella said with a laugh.

"No, I don't think that's right. Look over here...she has your hand over your belly."

"Do you think she has drawn me pregnant?"

I kissed her temple.

"If I were a betting man, I'd say yes."

Bella wrote a small note in the margin before closing the journal and setting it aside.

"I'll put those away for you."

"Thank you. Are you ready to eat?"

I handed her a plate with a sandwich on it.

She looked content as she ate quietly.

I took the bowls off the tray and set them in front of us.

"This is great. I am more hungry than I thought."

I was glad to see her eating more.

I took a few bites as I watched her eat her soup.

I wanted to take care of her forever.

She set her dishes aside when she was done eating.

"Did you get enough?"

"Mmm, as far as food goes, yes I did."

She had a playful smile on her face, one that I would never get enough of.

I finished eating while she got up to stretch.

"Let me put the dishes away. I have not lifted a finger today."

"We can go together, baby. I wanted you to relax today."

I got up and we walked into the kitchen.

She rinsed off the dishes and I put them away.

"Let me put out the fire and we can go upstairs," I said.

"Okay. I'll get the blanket up and the pillows, too."

I took care of the fireplace.

"Ow...ooowww"

I turned my head to see Bella gripping her stomach.

"What's wrong, baby?"

"I..mmm..just a cramp. I'll be okay."

"Let me get you some medicine."

I ran into the kitchen and searched for some Tylenol.

When I returned into the den, she was curled up on the couch.

"Drink some water, baby, and take this."

She sat up to drink some water.

I gave her some medicine and she laid back on the couch.

"Is it alright with you if I lie here for a few minutes. I'm afraid walking would be too difficult for me to make it up the stairs right now."

"That's not a problem. Let me run upstairs and I'll be right back."

I remembered when Alice had these kinds of cramps.

She usually retreated to the bathroom and took a bath.

I went into mine and started running one for her.

My heart broke when I saw her in pain because I felt like there was not enough I could do for her.

I wanted to do anything to make her feel better.

I found her bubble bath and poured some in the water.

We would definitely take plenty of bottles of this to Hawaii.

Every time I think of that, I have to smile.

She will love it there.

Once the tub was full, I went back to her side.

"Bella, put your arms around my neck."

"Are you taking me to bed?"

"Not yet. I have a bath waiting for us."

I prayed the warm water would relax her cramps.

"I'm sorry, this just came on so quickly."

"You could not control them, so there is no reason to apologize."

"But now we can't .. have sex."

"Baby, don't worry about that. All I really want to do is hold you and comfort you."

She sighed as I carried her into the bathroom.

"Let me get that off you."

I sat her on the counter and lifted her slip over her head.

"I;m getting you in the water before you get cold."

I lifted her up off the counter and sat her in the tub.

"Were you going to join me?"

"I would love to hold you if that's what you want."

She moved over slightly to make room for me.

I settled in behind her and closed my arms around her.

She leaned her head back against my chest as I kissed the top of her head.

"I love you, Edward. Thank you for doing all of this."

"Sweet girl, I love you, too. This was no problem. I want to take care of you always."

I lifted her small hand and lightly kissed her fingertips.

She curled up tighter into my arms.

"Are you okay?"

"Mmmm, It hurts less, but I can still feel the cramps on my back."

"Let me rub your back."

After she adjusted her position, I had my hands on the small of her back.

I was honestly glad there were plenty of bubbles right now.

If I could see her bare backside now, I'd be too tempted to take her.

She did not need that at this moment.

"Is this helping you?"

"Yes, that feels great. I love your hands and everything you do with them."

I gently bathed her body next.

All too soon, she began to shiver and I knew it was time to get her to bed.

"Let me get out and grab a towel to dry you off."

Once I had one, I took her hand and lifted her out.

"Do you think you can stand up, Bella?"

She nodded yes and I began drying her sweet body.

Once we were done, I scooped her up gently and took her to bed.

"Please hold me close, Edward. I want to put my head over your heart."

"I will, baby. Do you want to play 20 questions for a bit? If you don't feel any better tomorrow, I want you to call off work."

"Are you sure you want me to stay home? We have the photographer to meet."

"That we do, but your health comes first. When was the last time you took a day off?"

She looked up into my face after she brushed her hair back with her hand.

"I have not taken one off this school year."

"Then I think you are well overdue for a day off."

"But what about the kids?"

"I'll be there, baby. I will make sure things go smoothly and I'm sure the substitute will be fine."

"Okay. What do you want to know about me?"

"Everything you are willing to tell me," I told her before kissing her cheek.

"Well, ask me anything," she said softly.

"What was your favorite book when you were little?"

She snuggled under my chin.

"Well, you know what my favorite fairy tale was, but my favorite book was Anne of Green Gables."

"What was it about that book that you like so much?"

"Anne was imaginative and a dreamer. I wanted to be like that."

"You are imaginative, baby. Look at how you are with the kids."

I knew she would be that way with ours, too.

"Ask me something else," she said.

"What is your favorite flower?"

She was quiet for a few minutes.

"I'd have to say hibiscus blossoms."

She would have a bouquet of them in her near future, probably tomorrow.

I'd get them at lunchtime.

Maybe we could use them in the pictures.

"Would you like for us to have a pet one day?"

"Maybe a dog."

"What kind of dog would you like?"

I kissed her face softly, running my fingers over it.

"Maybe a lab since they are good with kids."

I could see one chasing after our kids in the park.

"Is there any place you would like to go?"

"Anywhere as long as we are together," she said.

"No, seriously where would you like to go?"

Again she was quiet.

"Okay, I'd love to go to London or Paris."

"Thank you for telling me, baby. One day, I'll take us there," I told her as I studied her beautiful face.

"You don't have to. It's just always been a dream of mine."

"I want to make your dreams come true."

"You did when you walked into the school," she said.

She closed her eyes as I captured her lips with mine.

My tongue ran over her lips and into her mouth.

She moaned as our kiss deepened.

Gently, I moved my lips over her face.

"As soon as I feel better, will you please make love to me again?"

"Absolutely. Whenever you are ready, I will pleasure you fully."

I meant every word of that, but I wanted her to feel better first

There was no way I could enjoy myself if she was in pain.

"Baby, I didn't make your cramps worse by all the love making we did today?" I asked.

"No, I don't want you to think that. I have always had trouble with cramping. That's why I had to take birth control for years."

"Please call the doctor in the morning, baby. I want you to be healthy. SInce we are trying to have a baby, you need to see one. You could also mention your anxiety attacks to him."

"I will, Edward. I have to apologize because I'm sleepy. Will you hold me?"

"Of course. I'm not going anywhere."

She snuggled into my arms and I kissed her head.

I listened to her breathing, knowing that she was drifting off to sleep peacefully.

I laid there for a few minutes, thinking about our future.

Bella would soon be my wife.

.

We needed to eventually find a bigger home.

And I had the work for the foundation coming up.

I looked down at my girl and smiled.

She was beautiful, amazing, and I was lost in her.

I closed my eyes and imagined my girl in a white dress coming toward me.
