Our Little Girl

Chapter 10

Epov

I lay in bed after Bella fell asleep and just watched her. I thought about all the shit that happened tonight. I couldn't believe Jasper would allow Renée into our house when he knew that Bella hated that woman. I knew Bella was upset about hearing about her uncle dying. In my mind I knew that it wasn't the last time we would see Renée but I prayed that we would never have to deal with her bullshit. I was almost asleep when I heard a noise coming from outside our bedroom door. I looked over at the clock and it read 01:49am. It wasn't either of my parents as they had gone to bed just after we did. I slowly got up and made my way over to the door. As I got closer I could hear soft sniffling coming from the other side. I opened the door and there was my little girl with her blanket and teddy bear with tears coming down each cheek. I quickly leaned down and pulled her into my arms.

"What's wrong baby girl?" I asked her softly.

"I had a bad dweam," she said pushing her face into my chest and her crying subsided slightly. My hand was rubbing soothing circles on her back "Can I stay wiv you and mommy?" she asked me looking at my with pleading eyes. How could I say no to her.

"Of course you can baby. Come on, but stay quiet cos mommy's asleep okay" I said to her. She nodded her head and I brought her back to my bed. I laid her down in the middle so she would be between me and Bella. The minute I was in the bed Lexi was back against my chest.

"What was your dream about baby?" I asked her softly once again rubbing my hand over her back.

"You and mommy wont want me once the new baby comes" my eyes widened. Why the hell would she think or dream about something like that.

"Baby that's not going to happen. Me and mommy will love just as much as we do now. Nothing is ever going to change that okay, now go to sleep and I love you baby" I placed a kiss on her forehead and started humming her, her lullaby. She was asleep within seconds. I kissed her forehead once again.

I looked over towards Bella to see her looking back at me with a smile on her face and so much love in her eyes.

"That was really sweet" she whispered to me. I brought my hand over to her face and gently stroked her cheek and then brought my hand down to her stomach and gently rubbed her small bump. She wasn't big yet and I couldn't wait, although our sex life would be disturbed by her round stomach and o couldn't care less.

"Hmm…I thought she was a burglar before I heard the sniffling. She was really upset, why would she think that we wouldn't want her anymore B?" I asked he. She shrugged her shoulder at me before finally answering.

"We could ask her in the morning what it was all about. But I don't want to push her, if she doesn't want to tell us then we shouldn't force it out of her" wow she was a great mother. I nodded to her and left my hand on her stomach.

"B, how are you holding up? Really" I asked her.

"I'm shocked as hell that I'm only now finding out that Marcus is dead, I didn't even know he was sick. It's just weird. I should have been the first one they contacted but no it was Renée. Marcus hated her for what she did to us so why the fuck would she know before me? It just doesn't make sense Edward?" she whispered to me. I could see the tears starting to form in her eyes.

"Maybe there's a reason for it. Do you want to go up to Marcus' house later today?" I asked her.

"Yea I want to go to his lawyer Jenks to see what's going on with everything. I just don't know how to handle his property and business" okay I knew he had a business, but how much property did this guy have?

"Bella how much property did he have?" I asked her.

"Edward, my uncles built a million dollar company. That has expanded over the years, my uncle is now worth at least $20 million if not more. And his property he has house's all over the world. I cant run his business Edward I don't know anything on how to run it" I was shocked. If Bella was the sole beneficiary she would be getting $20 million alone. Holy fuck!!

"We'll figure it out as we go along baby" I said to her, even though my brain was still trying to wrap around what she just revealed. It was then that I remembered the gift I bought her. I gently laid Lexi on the bed and made my way into our closet were I had it hidden. I walked back into the room to find Bella sitting up with a confused look on her face. She glanced at my hands and furrowed her eyebrows. The gift was wrapped in a light blue wrapping paper with a black bow going around it. I walked over to the bed and sat beside her and handed her the present. Bella toke it hesitantly.

"What's this?" she asked me without opening it. I smiled and told her.

"It's an early wedding gift from me and also Lexi. Come on open it up" I motioned with my hands for her to open it. She slowly unwrapped the gift, Bella looked at the symbol on the top of the box and looked back at me with an angry, but loving expression. It was a Tiffany & Co. box but what was in it was properly going to get me killed.

"Open it!" I told her once again. She opened the box and gasped. Inside was a bracelet with small symbols of anything that Bella loves. There was a chef's hat, for her love for cooking, a book, the letter A for Alexis, a truck for her first car, a house for her family, another letter E for me, a baby's foot, for the one inside her and lastly a small red stone heart. This was the one that held the most meaning for me as it says she holds me heart in her hands.

Bella was holding each one in her hands as if they would break. She had tears coming down her face by the time she got Lexi symbol. She looked up at me for a moment before looking back down and looking at the rest, she laughed at the truck and cried when she came to my E and the baby's foot. When she came to the heart she stooped breathing and launched herself into my arms. She kissed me with so much love. She pulled away after a moment to catch her breath. She placed one more kiss on my lips before speaking again.

"This is the most beautiful thing anyone has every given me. Thank you" she said to me.

"So you really, truly like?"

"No. I love it Edward. What gave you there idea for it? Especially the truck?" she laughed again.

"Well I didn't know what to get you and Lexi suggested we get you a charm bracelet. I thought it was a brilliant idea, however were going to have to put a ring on it after we get married. The tuck…well I seen that in the jewelers and just had to put it on. The man looked at me as if I was crazy. But I didn't care I'm just glad you love it" I kissed her once more before going back around to my side. I got as comfy as possible with Lexi there, and quickly fell back asleep.

I woke up with the feel of Lexi patting my cheek. I could hear Bella's soft laughing. I opened one eye to see Lexi right up in my face smiling.

"Momma I did it I woke daddy up" she said with a big smile on her face. I smiled at her.

"You sure did baby, well done" Bella said to her while laughing. She seems to be in a better mood. I turned my attention back to Lexi and grabbed her and pulled her towards me so that I could tickle her. Her laughter rang through the bedroom moments later.

"Da…daddy….st…stop…pwease!" Lexi stuttered out through her laughing. I smiled at her and stop while placing a kiss on her forehead. I looked over at Bella and noticed that she was dressed, coat and all.

"Why are dressed?" I asked her. She laughed at me and pointed towards clock. It was 10:35am. How did I sleep for so long.

"We have tp get going if we want to make the appointment I setted up with him this morning, so get a move on E" she said while pulling the sheets off me.

"Bella, that's not funny. Sh-" I cut myself off before the word came out of my mouth and continued "Wow it's cold" Bella merely shook her head and walked into the bathroom. I picked Lexi up and walked downstairs to see both my parents sitting eating some scrambled eggs and bacon. They both looked up when I walked in and smiled at us.

"How are you this morning dear?" my mother asked me. I put Lexi on a chair and grabbed a bowl and some cereal and milk. I sat back down and replied to my mother.

"I'm good. Emm…what are you and dad doing today?" I asked them. I didn't know if Bella wanted Lexi to come with us today or not and this seemed like the perfect opportunity for them to spend some time with their grandchild.

"Were going to Forks, to redue the old house before we move everything back" she said as if it was the most casual thing to say. I stared at her and as I did Bella had made her way into the kitchen.

"Your moving back?" I asked them.

They simple both nodded their heads and got up saying goodbye and that they would see us later. I just sat their stunned for I don't know how long until Bella toke my bowl and started eating the remains.

"That means were never going to get rid of them Bella. They'll be here every weekend and mom will going probably a hundred times a day!!" I said to her. Bella just laughed her head off and kissed me.

"Go get dressed we have to meet Mr. Jenks in about 40 minutes, so get a move on please?" I complied and was dressed and ready to go in less than five. We left the house not long after that and I drove in the direction Bella told me. We were meeting Jenks at Marcus' home. My jaw literally drop when we came up to a big HUGE white mansion. I don't think it should be called a mansion, castle seems more appropriate. I looked at Bella and she simple shrugged her shoulders. I shook my head and got out of the car and got Lexi. I could see a small round man getting out of a black BMW. We started walking towards him when another man got out of the car and Bella froze in her spot. I just managed to hear her whisper a name and the name she said made me want to kill the man.

"James…."
