Chapter 11: At Last

Edward stared at Elizabeth in disbelief. He couldn't believe that he was staring at his daughter for the first time ever. She was beautiful, she looked like her mother. He could see only Bella in her, the only thing she had of him was his hair color. This was the same child that Bella had told him she was pregnant with eighty-seven years ago.

Elizabeth looked at Edward with a quizzical look. "Mom…who is this?" She asked. Bella held onto Edward's hand.

"Elizabeth…this is Edward Masen…your father," she informed.

The girl looked over at him. "You said he died," she answered confused. Edward cleared his throat.

"The doctor who was taking care of me saved me," he told her.

Elizabeth walked over and stood in front of him. "You look so much like your mother," he commented.

"Really? Mom said I look and act like you," she answered.

"She's just as stubborn as you," Bella told him.

"Only about that hunk of metal in the driveway," Elizabeth answered.

"That is a good truck," Bella told her.

"You bought it the year it came out," Elizabeth answered.

Bella rolled her eyes and Edward chuckled. "Do you mind if I…" he started. Elizabeth laughed and answered his unfinished question by hugging him. Edward hugged her back with a sigh. Bella watched with a smile on her face and shining eyes. This young woman was his beautiful daughter, he couldn't believe that she was his daughter, his flesh and blood. Elizabeth hugged him tight, if she could cry there would be tears falling down her face.

"Mom really thought you died," she told him.

"I know," he answered stroking her hair.

Edward pressed his forehead against the side of her head. "I never stopped thinking about you or your mother, never," he told her. He kissed the side of her head before pulling Bella into the embrace, hugging both of his girls tight. "I love you both," he told them.

"And we love you," Bella answered.

That night, Bella and Edward were up in Bella's room. Elizabeth was in her room practicing piano. "She acts like you more and more," she commented. He chuckled softly, moving his fingers through her hair.

"So you drink animal blood too?" He asked.

"Obviously yeah," she replied.

She ran her fingers along his chest with a smile. "I started doing that a long time ago," she sighed. Edward held her hand in his, lacing his fingers with hers. She let his hand go and moved it along his jaw. "I never stopped thinking about you, never," she murmured.

"I didn't either," he answered.

Bella leaned forward, kissing him gently. Edward kissed her back, his hands on the sides of her neck. He moved one arm around her back and pulled her on top of him. Bella moaned softly, her hand moving along his face. He pulled back and kissed along her neck gently, making her sigh softly. "I should go," he said quietly.

"What? Why?" She asked.

"Esme will worry," he answered.

She bit her lower lip and held onto his hand. "I'm going with you," she said quietly.

"Bella…" he started.

"Edward, I'm going, I've been apart from you for eighty-seven years, I'm going," she answered.

Edward smiled and kissed her gently. Bella kissed him back, her hands moving into his shirt. He moved his hands up her shirt and along her spine. She pulled back and he kissed along her neck gently. He pushed back all thoughts of going back home and pulled his wife down on the couch, moving on top of her. Bella smiled and hitched her leg around his hip, bringing him closer, gasping when his hips moved intimately against hers. She reached up and undid the buttons on his shirt, pushing it off his shoulders. Edward pulled her shirt off, throwing it aside, moving his hands along her torso. Bella closed her eyes and tilted her head back as he ran kisses all over her neck and throat.

Bella moaned softly gripping his hips to pull him closer if it were at all possible. Edward groaned a little as he moved to strip them out of the rest of their clothes. He ran his lips along every inch of her skin, loving every part of her. He moved his hands along every curve, trying to remember every curve every spot that made her moan, everything that hit just right for her. He kissed her stomach and moved his way back up, kissing her throat again. Bella closed her eyes, moving her head back. She wrapped her arms around his back, pulling him closer. Edward kissed her deeply and they both froze when he moved inside her. The amazing sensations they felt years before came back at full force.

After being still for what felt like an eternity, Edward held her hands in his and held them above their heads as he made love to her. He gripped her hands to keep himself from tearing up her couch. "Edward…" she moaned. Edward kissed and sucked on her neck a growl escaping his throat. Bella moaned trying to keep herself from crying out and scarring their daughter, who was still down the hall. Edward kissed her passionately as they both went over the edge. He pulled back, pressing his forehead against hers. "Wow…" she commented, making him laugh.

He moved to the side, pulling the quilt that was on the floor over them. Bella smiled, moving her fingers over his jaw. Edward was about to say something when his phone went off. He reached over his wife and grabbed it of the floor. "Who's that?" She asked. Edward looked at the caller ID.

"It's Alice," he replied.

He held the phone up to his ear. "Yeah Alice," he answered. He tried not to chuckle when Bella moved her fingers along his chest and stomach. "Just tell them I lost track of time in the meadow and I'll be there soon," he told his sister. Bella leaned forward kissing his chest and down his stomach, making him swallow a laugh. "Bye Alice," he said to her before hanging up and tossing the phone to the floor. Bella smiled wickedly as she kept moving lower but he grabbed her by her shoulders and kissed her passionately. "Have you no shame?" He chuckled.

"Not at the moment," she replied.

She pushed him back against the couch, kissing up and down his neck. He closed his eyes, moving his hands under the quilt, making her gasp. Edward grinned and kissed her deeply. Bella kissed him back and straddled his lap. He groaned and pulled the quilt over them.
