Hey! I'm back... Well, this chapter is dedicated to those who love the whole, mindless fluff thing, thats gonna end up being this chapter... Bella and Edward have no problems in this chapter... It'll be nice.
This is FOUR AND A HALF MONTHS INTO BELLA'S PREGNANCY. I figures this would be easier also. SCHOOL SUCKS.
My child. Our child. I was a father... A dad. An example for a new life.
The words sounded foreign as people said them to me. Congrats Edward! You're a dad! I laughed at the sheer impossibility. The baby, my existence, the fact that I was engaged, the fact the I now lived with Bella.
Bella had moved in a couple of months ago, due to a large problem, Charlie. He didn't believe I loved her enough, and that hurt, I'll admit it. But, I didn't know how else to prove to Charlie that I loved his daughter eternally, and irrevocably, so I settled for the verbal onslaught of his mind.
Bella was taking a shower, a long shower by the sounds of it. I didn't mind, she deserved it. Alice had been driving her nuts with room planning and names, Carlisle had pushed us to make a doctor's appointment, so tomorrow we were going for Bella's ultrasound. Never had I been happier.
The water turned off.
Esme was... worried about Bella. She thought that Jake dying had taken a huge toll on Bella, but she had no idea. It had, but she has so much more on her mind.
"Hello..." Bella waltzed out of the bathroom, high on the euphoria that had surrounded our lives lately. She was wearing a midnight blue, silk robe, nothing else. Her slightly rounded stomach was slightly exposed, making her look even more elegant. I was staring, I realized suddenly.
Staring at her legs, and the curve of her neck, and the way her hair fell on her back, and the way she placed her hand on her stomach, almost protectively, the way she was glowing. The happiness that made her glow, and happy to live, and breathe. My eyes traveled, on reflex, to her rounded stomach, it was... Beautiful. I couldn't think of another adjective to use. Grinning like a fool, I walked into the bathroom and wrapped my hands around Bella's waist, careful of the growing child in her stomach.
Bella relaxed into my arms, quickly and easily. Swinging Bella lithely into my arms, I carried her to the couch. Our thinking spot as of late.
Without thinking about it, my hand traveled under the robe to rest on Bella's stomach, our child. Bella gazed at my large hand resting there. She gingerly placed her hand on top of mine, sighing.
"Edward?" Bella looked down at my hand, seemingly thinking.
"Bella?" I asked concern coloring my tone.
Bella smiled at me, a sad kind of smile. My mind was working in overdrive, trying to place her slightly worried expression, I placed my hand on her cheek. "Tell me, love." I begged.
"What are we going to name the baby, Edward?" Bella asked, blushing.
I shrugged and exhaled sharply. Hugging Bella to my chest, I playfully brushed her robe aside.
"Edward Cullen!" She swatted at my hand, as I rubbed circles on the skin at her waist. "Thanks..." She sighed against my neck. "You scared me." I replied in explanation.
Bella laughed. A warm, repentant laugh. "Sorry." She kissed my neck.
"So..." I started. I was so plainly staring at Bella's body, if Emmett was here he would give me crap.
Bella nodded and started kissing my jaw, and neck, and cheek. "I like Anthony." She said finally. My mouth fell open, I immediately realized she was talking about my middle name.
"I..." I liked Bella. Or Marie. "I like Marie." I bantered.
Bella's eyes were the classic innocent stare, I loved it.
I made my eyes innocent and wide too.
"I like Alice... If you two are done..." Jasper laughed at our mock staring contest.
"I'm diggin' Rosalie..." Emmett yelled.
Bella shook her head, not breaking eye contact. "No... I still like Anthony." Her voice held a note of finality.
Jasper chuckled. "She's dead set..." He reassured me.
I laughed, and ruffled Bella's hair with my unoccupied hand. "I also like Edward..." She smiled. Stretching her arms above her head, exposing herself for my eyes only, though I knew Jasper wold catch my emotions going hay wire.
"Kids?" Emmett's slightly appalled tone came from the doorway. "Be careful, Edward." He winked at me, and smirked. "Don't forget to use protection... Oh wait... Alice said it was just your hand... Maybe I should ask Carlisle..." Emmett walked away, seriously going to ask Carlisle.
Jasper's eyebrows were sitting in the middle of his forehead, and Bella was blushing a bright scarlet.
I shrugged. We were engaged, and Bella deserved the release. "Jasper? Thanks." I whispered. Jasper fake saluted and left.
Bella giggled and leaned up, touching my chest. "Mr. Cullen?! Were you thinking dirty thoughts?" I nodded and grabbed Bella. Throwing us onto the bed.
I unwrapped her robe, and rested my hand on her breast. Feeling her peak.
"Very..." I licked her breast, earning a moan, "Very..." I trailed my cool hand slowly over her stomach. Lower and Lower. "Dirty." I whispered. I let my finger massage her clit.
Watching her moan and groan under my finger was... Arousing. I don't think there was any other word. I was hard, but I knew we couldn't, she was so fragile right now, and I was possibly the most hard I had ever been. God, I needed to control this, everything. My growing urge, her growing orgasm, she had to be careful. I had to make sure I did this safely, Carlisle would already scold me for not being careful later. I didn't need any more.
Bella orgasmed... Quickly. She came quickly, almost catching me by surprise... But she moaned. An animal sound, low in her throat.
She fell asleep quickly after our little.. Rendezvous. I snuggled up against her fragile, naked form for a few hours. Stroking her stomach, praying that the morning sickness went away.
"Edward?" The voice was so low and soft, Bella would never hear it. I lithely stood. Pulling the blankets around her naked form, praying she would stay warm. Following Carlisle's thoughts into his office.
His sleeves were rolled up, and his mind was wandering to Esme. "I expected you to be careful..." Carlisle murmured.
He didn't even need to look at me, the guilt was that evident in his voice. "I'm sorry... But you don't understand!" I was immediately defiant. Defending myself, and my wife.
"I do." Carlisle answered calmly. He gestured back to the chair, and I sat, growing more anxious, and frazzled.
"Edward, you must think... Now more than ever. Shes fragile, and I know you just want to make her happy, but you must use caution."
I stood, and walked to him. "Sorry... I over reacted... And you're right." Carlisle stood and patted my shoulder.
"Just be careful." Those were his parting words.
I walked back to my room slowly. Wanting to make the time move faster, wanting nine o' clock to come sooner...
The morning brought with it the strangest sense of ease... Bella was all smiles and hugs, though her facade was easy to see through.
Bella got dressed quickly, but didn't eat breakfast. As soon as we were in the Volvo, I questioned her.
I grabbed her hand as I smoothly slid out of out driveway. "Bella... I love you." I chickened out, scared of the reaction.
She turned in her seat and looked at my face critically. "You've got something to say..." She whispered.
I nodded. "You're right..." I brushed her cheek with my long, white fingers. "Sorry... I'm just nervous... Thats all."
We walked hand and hand through the doors and up to the maternity ward.
"Mr. And Mrs. Cullen?" A dreary voice called out.
I stood, holding Bella's hand tightly. She led us to a small, sterile white room. "Get ready please. A doctor will see you shortly." The mandatory.
I squeezed Bella's hand and kissed her lips roughly. "I love you." I whispered fiercely. Bella nodded, tears in her eyes.
The doctor came in and spread the blue material on Bella's stomach, watching the ultra sound monitor.
"Well..." He turned to us, a smile spread broadly across his face. "Congratulations! On your new baby boy!"
Its a boy! YA... So PLEASE REVIEW!
