I do not own anything Twilight or anything related. I apologize for not updating sooner.. FIRST OF ALL: I WANT TO CLEAR UP ANY CONFUSION MY EAGERNESS OF WRITING THIS STORY CAUSED- I went through all my chapters the other day and found some mismatched information… So here is a little mini bio on my characters to solve any questions…
Bella: is a baker that went to college in Boston, MA. Her parents died before Sophie was conceived. She opened her bakery 5 years ago right after she found out she was pregnant. She got into an emotionally and then physically abusive relationship with James right after her parents died and then left him after she got pregnant. She never knew her birth father. Her daughter Sophie turned 5 right before Lily did.
Edward: about 28 years old. An oncologist. His daughter is Lily who just turned 5. He has a brother (Emmett) and sister (Alice). He was married to Tanya and their divorce was final 5 months ago when she found out she was pregnant again.
Rosalie: Lily and Sophie's teacher and Jasper's sister.
Alice: Edward's receptionist and sister; Jasper's wife and Rosalie's sister-in-law; Met Bella at the hospital
Esme: met Bella for the first time when they went out on their first date and she watched Sophie and Lily; Edward's mom.
I have to go back and correct chapter 1 and chapter 8 so they make more sense but I just wanted to clear up a few things before the story continues. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Now, on with the story.
Chapter 14
EPOV:
I woke up with the sun shining down on me from between the sheer curtains hung over the only window in Bella's bedroom. I look over at the angel in my arms and can't help but think back to the events of last night. I have never felt so connected and so in love as I did last night. I can never ever let this girl go.
Just as I am about to wake up my Sleeping Beauty, I hear my phone vibrate from the nightstand next to me. I reach over and see I have a missed call from my mother and from Alice. I decide my mother is a safe bet.
"Hello?"
"Hi Mom," I whisper as I climb out of bed and throw on my boxers.
"Oh Edward, good I am so glad you called me back! We are having a family barbeque today and would love for you to bring Bella and little Sophie. We definitely need to apologize and make-up for what happened at Lily's party. Your brother and sister will be there and Jasper is even bringing his sister. Please say you will come!" She finally takes a breath and I am able to respond.
"Sure mom. We would love to come over! I can't wait for Bella to meet Emmett and Dad. What time should we be there?" I smile and quietly tip toe out the bedroom door so I don't wake her up.
"Can you be here at 12?" She asks excitedly.
I move my phone away from my ear and look at the time before bringing it back up.
"See you then. Love you!" I hang up just as the bedroom door opens.
"Well, are you trying to sneak out before I wake up? I am hurt!" She feigns anger but I can see the smile that is hidden on her face.
"Never, you are stuck with me now baby!" I grab her hips and pull toward me before kissing her senseless.
"As much as I love the shirtless look, I think for our daughters' sake you should probably get a shirt or something." She looks down at my bare chest and smiles before placing a kiss on my heart.
"How do you feel about a BBQ with my family in about 2 hours?" I smile down at her before walking into the bedroom to grab my t-shirt and meet her again in the hallway.
"Sounds like fun!" She agrees and then saunters off down the stairs to, what I can only assume, start breakfast.
I walk to the girls' room and laugh at what I find. Lily is laying on the bed with her little butt in the air and Sophie is laying right next to her with her head at the foot of her bed and her feet at Lily's face. I walk over to the bed and shake both girls awake. Lily quickly jumps up and runs down to Bella but Sophie slowly rises and comes to cuddle in my lap, to my surprise.
"What is up princess?" I ask as I stroke her hair.
"Mr. Edward do you love my mommy?" She asks sadly.
"Of course I do, baby doll."
"And you love Lily because she is your kid right?"
"Absolutely. But I think you forgot someone Soph." I inform her as I tip her chin up. "I love you too princess." I smile at her and her face lights up before her arms wrap around my neck.
"I love you too ." She places a kiss on my cheek and then runs down to Bella and Lily. I chuckle to myself and follow suit.
We pull up to my parent's house and Sophie and Lily, as usual, are out the door as soon as the car stops.
"Grandma! Grandpa!" Lily shouts as the door opens and my parents stand in the doorway.
"Lily-bug! Sophie!" Esme squeals and bends down for a big group hug.
Bella and I walk up behind them and my dad is quick to greet us.
"Hello Son and you must be the infamous Bella I have heard so much about. I apologize for not being able to meet you sooner, life of the Emergency Room Doctor." He takes her hand and places a small kiss on her knuckles.
"I can see where Edward gets his charm." Bella blushes with a giggle.
We enter the house and I find both Lily and Sophie hanging upside down from my brother.
"Do these two monkeys belong to anyone?" Emmett asked the room full of family as we entered.
"No but has anyone seen my little girl? She is about this tall and has blue eyes." Bella asked as she laughed along with the room.
"Mommy! I am right here! Help!" Sophie shouts.
"Uncle Emmett we aren't monkeys! We are princesses!" Lily yells at my brother and he quickly sets them down before bowing in front of them.
"My apologies your majesties! It is a pleasure to meet such royalty!" Emmett stands back up and walks over to Bella and I.
"Emmett Cullen at your service ma'am," He kisses her hand just like my dad did and again she giggles and blushes.
I see Miss Hale enter the room and walk over to Emmett. He wraps his arm around her waist and I raise an eyebrow.
"Hi Miss Hale," The girls say in unison and then race off to the backyard.
"When did this start?" I ask my brother as I gesture between the two.
"We met at Alice's house two weeks ago and just hit off." He smiled and placed a kiss on her lips before heading out back with the girls.
After dinner, the girls head inside to dish out dessert and the men stay outside around the bonfire.
"So Eddie boy have you done the deed yet?" Emmett so crudely asked.
"I am so not going to answer that man. Don't even try." I respond before taking a long sip from my beer.
"So, no.." Jasper retorts and Emmett and Jasper break out into chortles.
" Shut up! I am not going to degrade our relationship by talking about it! If I was going to I would make you both blush with the details." I smirk and watch as the girls come running out with small plates in their hand. The grown-ups follow behind with more plates and big smiles on their faces. Bella brings up the rear with a bright red face.
