I hope you like it!
The next morning, just like he promised, we went to the nearest Verizon store and had my phone number changed. I sent everyone who needed my number a text letting them know about the switch. Edward took the opportunity to meet my entire family and see places that were once important to me during my teenage years. My mom invited some close relatives over for a cookout and that's when he met my crazy family.
The older members of the family left early that evening and for that I was thankful. My favorite cousins got to stay to hang out. Caitlin, Ryan, Luke and Justine, I got along with everyone but Justine; she was always a bitch and wanted whatever was better than what she had. Considering that she had no man and still lived with her mom she was desperately flirting with Edward.
"So Edward would you care to join me in the hot tub?" I rolled my eyes at her attempt to get him half naked and alone. Edward just shook his head, "Actually I don't need the hot tub. With Bella around I could probably use a cold shower." I tried to pretend like I didn't hear him but he wouldn't have that. He pulled me closer to him and wrapped his legs around me. Justine sighed and walked away. Ryan laughed at his sister as she walked away. "Thank God somebody got her to leave. I love my sister and all but could she not see the fucking ring on Bella's finger."
My mouth opened to say something but nothing came out. I hadn't even thought about the ring and I totally forgot to tell my parents. Edward leaned down and whispered in my ear, "Breathe, I already told your parents and they are happy. They completely understood why you forgot to tell them. Also Tanya wants to help pick out your dress." I bit my bottom lip and leaned back against him feeling completely at home.
I must have fallen asleep outside in Edward's arms because when I woke up I was in bed with his flannel shirt overtop of my bathing suit. I smiled at him sleeping on his stomach facing me and smiling. He had his arm draped over me and when I tried to move his grip tightened. I played with a strand of his hair that kept falling in his eyes. I loved his sexy hair but I really think he needs to cut it.
After a half hour I really need to pee and had to force him off of me. Just as I got his death grip loose and thought I was free. He scared the hell out of me and sat straight up just as alert as if he hadn't been asleep. "I didn't mean to wake you." I was still trying to catch my breath when he laughed at me. "Honey I've been awake since you started playing with my hair." I grabbed the pillow off the floor and threw it hitting him in the face. I stormed out of the room leaving him all alone.
He didn't come down for breakfast and my mom was afraid he was sick. I told her not to worry that I would go get him. When I got up to my room he was dressed and was looking through my old year books, specifically my senior year. "I thought you didn't act." I pulled out some clothes and got dressed, "I don't… at least not since high school." I could tell he was waiting for an explanation. "There's no sad story or anything I just didn't like. I never tried out for anything before hand and getting the lead roll in that play made me understand why I never had. I hated all of the people there and it took up so much time…" "But she was the best Dorothy I've ever seen." I turned to see my mom standing in the door way.
She walked in and took the book from Edward, "I have a video of it, if you would like to see it?" He smiled and I hid behind a curtain of hair. "Please mom not the video." Edward kissed my forehead, "Don't worry you don't have to watch." I groaned, "Fine, but you remember this when your mom wants to share something embarrassing about you." He rolled his eyes and I went to help dad clean up the mess by the pool.
"Let me guess, The Wizard of Oz." I nodded and threw a bunch of beer bottles in the trash can. "Justine seemed really pissed when she left last night." I just shrugged, "Dad I don't really care about her being mad." My cell rang and it was Ang. I looked at dad and he nodded to go answer it.
"Hey girl how are things going the big city?" She sighed, "Well Mike got a restraining order out against Jacob because he kept coming around after you changed your number. He caught me out at the dumpster and said he needed to get a hold of you. Needless to say Mike hired another guy to work at night with me."
I felt so bad that he was ruining everybody's lives just because of me. "Ang don't worry I'm going to put an end to this." I couldn't tell her how but this had to end. "No! You are going to stay safe where you are and not do anything stupid." I agreed and then we got off the phone, but I knew I needed to get rid of Jacob someway or another I just couldn't think of how right now.
We spent two weeks at my parents and I had found a way to make up for Edward's guitar but I hadn't told him yet. We were going to head back to the city tomorrow so he would get his surprise tonight at a secret dinner I had planned. Mom and dad were going out with some friends and we would be alone.
I kept him busy by hooking up Nathaniel's Xbox, Playstation and even his ancient Nintendo. Of course he was distracted for hours. I had to go pick up his gift and make dinner.
When I got back from the store he was still in the same place. I put the gift outside by the table and started dinner. I made some homemade salsa and chips as an appetizer and tacos, burritos, beans and rice. I was never so glad that my neighbor as a child had taught me how to cook Mexican food just like in the restaurants. I had bought some tequila for Edward if he wanted it but other than that no alcohol.
When I walked in the room he was still wrapped up in the video game, "You hungry?" He grunted an inaudible response. I shook my head and unplugged the game. "Hungry?" He stood and wrapped his arms around my shoulders, "Starved." We went out on the porch where the food was already set up and began to eat. "Where are your parents?" "Seriously did you shut down when the video game came on? They had plans with some friends. I made dinner for us."
He popped his neck, probably stiff from all the video games. "Well this is delicious. I would even say it's better than the food from Brazil." I smiled and blushed at his compliment. We ate in a comfortable silence. I took the dishes inside while he waited for me to join him back at the table.
"I have a surprise for you." "Really?" I nodded and reached behind his chair and grabbed the guitar case. "I know it's probably no where near as good as the one you had but this one was my great-grandfathers. He passed it down to my aunt and she gave it to me when I said I wanted to learn. However I was never any good… I had the strings replaced and had it tuned for you."
He opened the case and had a vacant expression on his face as he looked at the guitar. I was afraid it was really bad or something. "Is it ok?" I was nervous as all hell, "Bella I love it, but are you sure you want to give this to me. I mean it was from you great-grandfather, maybe you should keep it." I shook my head, "You need one to replace what Jacob did; besides you'll be family soon enough." He pulled me into a deep passionate kiss, "I assure you it is not soon enough." I sighed as my hands played with his hair, "Will you play me something?" He grabbed the guitar and sat down but pulled me on to his knee, "What would you like to hear?" "Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison." He smiled, "Lucky for you I know that one." I smiled that he was going to play me a song.
Edward didn't get to finish the song before I took the guitar away from him and dragged him up stairs. "Edward I love you." He stopped dead in his tracks and stopped kissing me, "What?" He smiled, "We've never said that to each other, at least not in person."
I thought back and he was right we said it on the phone but never in person, "I guess you're right, but it doesn't make it any less true." He shook his head, "No, if anything it makes it more true because I can see the love in your eyes." He leaned down and kissed his way up my neck and to my ear, "I love you Bella." He was right hearing it in person just made it all seem even more real.
We finally made it back to our room. We quickly removed all out clothing and laid down on the bed. We both were extremely ready for the other and longed for the connection that was to come. Edward was trying to be a gentleman, but he was just driving me insane, "Edward, please don't make me beg!" The second the words were out of my mouth he was inside me and I felt more complete than I ever had, "Honey, you will never have to beg me for this."
I grabbed fistfuls of his hair as his hands massaged my chest heightening our experience. Several times he would bring me close to the edge just to bring me back down and as much as I wanted to go over I also wanted this to last for as long as possible. He knew how to work my body like it was an instrument meant only for him to play, and in away it was.
We both ended up screaming out in ecstasy at the same time and neither of us spoke until he rolled off of me and pulled me close into his chest. I laughed into his chest, "What could possibly be funny right now?" I wiped some sweat off of his forehead, "Just that all the times I had a guy up here in my room my dad was always right outside the door. Now the one time I want to have sex and my dad isn't here to stop it."
He rubbed my back and then stopped, "Wait, how many guys have been up here?" I smacked his bare chest, "That is a talk for another time. Just go to sleep and be happy that you are the first to sleep with me in this house, room, and bed." He kissed my temple, "Good," and then we fell asleep together.
Edward decided he wanted to fly to New York because driving would take too long. I tried to tell him I couldn't because of my car but when I woke that morning my car was gone. "Ok where is my car?" Dad handed me a plate of food, "Ask your fiancé." I put the plate down and walked into the living room where Edward was sitting with my mother, "Oh darling, what did you do with my car?" I hoped he could sense the sarcasm in my voice because I was just a little beyond pissed.
Mom smiled at him and left him all alone. "I had it FedExed home. It will be waiting at the airport for us." "I don't even want to know how much that cost, so thanks, I guess." He seemed relieved that I wasn't going to freak about this, but I actually wasn't looking forward to driving nine hours alone, so I was happy.
We both ate breakfast and then my dad dropped us off at the airport. "Now Edward I don't care if you are a successful and rich businessman or whatever if you let anything happen to her I will come after you." Edward looked really scared, I just rolled my eyes, "Thanks dad now I have to take an already scared Edward on to a plane which will just add to his anxiety." He kissed me on the cheek and shook Edward's hand.
I slept almost the whole plane ride still tired from the night before. Once we landed we got in a cab to take us to the FedEx hanger for my car. I was never so glad to have my car back as I was then but I literally screamed when I saw the blue stripe down the middle of the car.
"Edward my candy apple red Honda Civic has a blue stripe on it!" He just looked down at his feet, "What the hell Edward!" He wrapped his arms around me, "I'm sorry I should have told you about that but we can get it painted. Besides I would feel better if he didn't know exactly what you drive. Maybe we can paint it silver or blue?" I wanted to cry for my little car but he did have a point Jacob knows I drive a red Honda Civic.
"Fine I will get the car painted under one condition… I pay for it." He shook his head and began to argue, "No I want to pay for it." We both got in the car and head towards his apartment which he had cleaned while we were gone. "Edward I wanted to paint the car anyways so please just let me pay for it?" He ran his hand through his hair, "Ok how about I pay half since the blue stripe is my fault." I could tell that was the best offer I could possibly hope for so I caved, "Fine."
Jasper, Alice, and Ang were all waiting in the lobby for us when we got home and Ang almost tackled me when she hugged me. "Oh my God I missed you so much; here Mike sent you a large coffee and a cranberry muffin." I took the coffee and handed the muffin to Edward, he just looked at me like I had grown a second head. "What? I assume he sent that for you since that's what you always order and I hate cranberries." He took a huge bite of the muffin as we all piled into the elevator.
After hours of talking about my family and my short lived acting career Sam the doorman brought our suitcases and Moose up for us. "Oh thanks Sam." He smiled and walked away. "Ok so you guys are back home and we are going out tonight." I shook my head but it was pointless with everyone was against me. "Fine, but I need to check my e-mails for work and stuff before hand so if you don't mind I will be right back."
I grabbed my laptop and didn't have any e-mails from work but I had one with no subject and no sender. When I opened it the e-mail was filled with pictures of my parent's house. There were pictures of my bedroom window, of the cook out we had, the dinner me and Edward shared and the worst pictures of me and Edward having sex in my room.
It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who sent them and he knew I would know it was him. At the bottom of the page was a single sentence, You need to call me! Edward came into the room and I quickly shut the laptop. "Everything ok?" I sighed, "Yeah just some work stuff." If I told Edward about the email he would freak and go all cavemen, which may not have been a bad thing.
I stood and walked towards Edward who began attacking my neck. "Everyone is going to meet us at the club in an hour." I groaned and pushed him away from me receiving a groan in return. "I need to shower and get dressed if I'm going out with my sexy fiancé." He wrapped his arms around my waist from behind, "I need a shower too mind if I join." I waited for a moment and then shrugged, "Why the hell not." I didn't care if we were late because I really didn't want to go out.
We arrived at the club a half hour later than we agreed and everyone just smiled at us. I wanted to hide behind a rock but what was the point. Edward ordered us both a beer and I gladly took it from him. "So Edward have you sent the car off yet?" Edward kicked Jasper under the table. "Edward please tell me didn't send my car off to be painted?" He looked pissed off at Jasper, "Fine I won't tell you that I sent your car off to be painted." He kept sending daggers at Jasper, "This isn't Jasper's fault so stop being an ass towards him. Now excuse me I need another drink."
I went to the bar and order absinthe and downed it almost as quickly as it was given to me. "Another please." The bar tender looked at me as if I as crazy. "You know if you keep drinking that shit you will be drunk within the hour." I rolled my eyes at Alice who sat down beside me. "I heard Edward is being over bearing again." I just nodded as I nursed my drink. "Alice it's driving me crazy because one minute I'm happy and want to be around him and then he does something to piss me off. I feel like I'm going crazy."
She ordered her self another beer and then became philosophical. "Well it could have something to do with the whole Jacob situation or that Edward has gone into complete protective mode. However there is also the ever famous PMS that could be the reason you are acting like a bitch." I rolled my eyes and took a sip of my drink. I tried to do some mental math but the alcohol was already making me hazy. "Can I borrow your cell mines at the table?"
She handed me her phone and I looked at the calendar. I thought I was going to be sick, it had been six weeks. "You ready to go back to the table?" I handed her the phone, "Yeah I'm gonna use the bathroom I'll be right there." I nearly sprinted to the bathroom and threw up nearly everything that as in my stomach. I cleaned myself up before I went back to the table.
I sat down next to Edward but the whole six weeks was freaking me out and he could tell, "Hey are you ok?" I looked into his eyes, "Actually I don't feel too good I think I'm gonna go home." He stood to come with me just as Ang came over. "Damn it what is it with guys grabbing my ass. I'm leaving." I grabbed her, "How about I go home with Ang that way you can still hangout with Jasper?" He thought about it really hard but quickly agreed.
I got Ang to stop at CVS and I bought three different pregnancy tests. The teenage boy at the register looked embarrassed enough for the both of us. Ang saw what was in the bag and smiled sympathetically at me. I took all three tests as soon as I got home, "Bella you know he won't leave either way. He loves you." I just shook my head knowing she was right. After three minutes Ang checked the tests. "Well do you want the good news or the bad first?"
Our opinions of good and bad news could be very different right now. "She decided for me. The good news is your boobs are gonna get huge, the bad thing is you will be leaking milk in less than nine months." I collapsed on to the couch with Moose, "How am I going to tell him?" She sat down next to me and rubbed my back, "I don't know but you better figure it out, the elevator is on its way up."
Ang left as soon as Edward got in and leaving me alone to tell Edward about our accident. I was freaking out because neither of us had mentioned children and I am bad with kids. I get sick when someone changes a diaper and they always scream at me. I wonder if it is possible for a child to hate their own mother as a baby.
Luckily for me I didn't have to tell Edward about the baby that night because he was too drunk to even get to bed. We ended up crashing on the couch with Moose at our feet. I didn't sleep most of the night so I just played with Edward's messy hair; by the time he woke up I had it standing straight up, but still hadn't figured out how to tell him.
Talk to me!
