Fertility
We'd a great night out with our friends and an even better time back in bed. Bella knew exactly what she was doing by wearing a short, revealing dress and high heels. I would have enjoyed waking up and staying in bed with Bella for a while the next morning, but we'd all decided that we'd get up and head into the Magic Kingdom Disney Park.
The others had all shrieked when they'd opened the envelopes of money I'd left for them. Angela and Ben tried to give it back to me but I insisted they keep it. I didn't want any of them to be wandering around, and suddenly realise that they had to watch how much they're spending. We'd all been working part time jobs the last two years to save up for college. But now that I had the money, I wanted my friends to have a little fun and not worry about anything. They were all really grateful. And Bella gave me a little love in return.
We stuck together at first, everyone was a little giddy. After lunch the girls went off onto some of the calmer rides whilst the guys went onto Space Mountain. With groups of us going off at different times in the day, I didn't see Bella much. Meeting up with everyone in the evening, we had dinner in the park. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was like nothing I'd ever experienced.
The next four days repeated in a similar way but we went to some of the other Parks. Each night we ate out, occasionally watching a fireworks display. In those moments I could hold Bella in my arms. Having to get up early every morning left little time and energy for anything in bed. In the four days, Bella had given me a blowjob once and before I could pleasure her, she had settled down to sleep. Everyone was feeling the effects of little bedroom time and it was noticeable in some of us. Emmett and Rose had taken to feeling each other up subtly, but of course not subtly enough.
Exhausted already from the early mornings and late evenings, it was unanimous in agreeing to stay at the house for the day. Nobody left their room until eleven and that wasn't even the girls. I became a voluntary slave again as I served Bella breakfast in bed. She rewarded me by wearing a beautiful blue bikini. Following behind her as she made her way to the poolside, she lay back on one of the sunbeds. I pulled up a stool beside her and rubbed sunscreen over her body. Lingering my hands on her thighs, she looked up at me through her eyelashes.
Once the others had all joined it was about time for lunch. I had ordered some pizzas not long ago and they arrived just as Bella complained of being hungry. Sitting on the stool beside her again, I held the slice of piece as she took her time biting pieces off. The other girls raised their eyebrows at their boyfriends. Each huffed and copied what I was doing. Despite the hungry complaints, Bella didn't eat much. She let me eat some more before lying her lounger all the way down and laying on her front. With the sun beating down on her back, I straddled over her legs. Rubbing sunscreen into her back, the rest of the guys made a quick escape inside.
"Babe? Will you pass me another towel?"
"Course baby."
She took the soft towel from my hands and scrunched it up under her head. I could see how tired she was and that was one of the reasons I was acting as her slave. With her eyes closed, she held a small smile on her lips because of my hands massaging into her back.
"I need to talk to you later Edward. It's important."
"Later Bella. Go to sleep."
It was only a couple of minutes later that she was sleeping. I slowed the movements of my hands before stopping altogether. Climbing off her legs, the girls smiled and waved to me as I went up to the balcony. I was going to use the time for some painting. A new composition was in my head and I wanted to get it started to get as many details in as possible. It would be part of the 'Desires' collection that I was working on. Each painting in the collection was of Bella and I had seen her beauty in many more ways recently. Being on the balcony meant I could keep an eye on Bella as well. If she woke up and needed anything I'd go to her straight away.
The other girls had moved into the warm waters of the pool. Angela and Alice doing some swimming, Jess and Rose decided to stay on the steps and take in the sun from there. Time seemed to move by quickly as I got a good proportion of my painting started in light pencil outlines. Looking down from my canvas, I saw Bella had started to move a little. She slowly sat up and glanced round, dazed by her surroundings. I stood up and leaned over the balcony. This gained her attention as she started to make her way over to me. The others turned to watch her and Alice asked her something. After responding to her she started up the steps to me.
"Hey babe."
"How you feeling Bella?"
"More awake."
Holding my arms out, she stepped into my chest and I closed my arms around her. I pecked the top of her head and combed through her hair.
"I need to talk to you before someone else tells you."
"What is it baby?"
She didn't answer but took my hand and pulled me into our bedroom. Pushing me down on the end of the bed, she disappeared into the bathroom. When she returned, she had one of my baggy t-shirts on. She placed the little box I'd seen days before into my hands before stepping away from me.
"I know that you've seen them."
"Do you think you're going to need them?"
Crossing her arms over her chest, she looked at the floor trying to hide her eyes from me.
"I don't know."
I stared at the box in my hands and shook slightly.
"Have you been with someone else? Did you get fed up of waiting?"
"No. No. I haven't and never will be with anyone else Edward. Just listen. Please. This is hard to say."
Letting a deep breath out, I calmed down, my worst fears being killed. I looked up to see Bella running her hand through her hair; a nervous act she had got from me.
"Okay. Just listen and when I finish you can speak.
'When you feel a hand rest upon your Mum,
And you hear the sound of a low deep hum,
I hope you know, and to yourself think gladly,
This touch and voice is of my Daddy.
It's still early days but you've got my heart,
And I know that this is just the start,
Because from now on and forevermore,
I will love you, cherish you, and always adore.
Every day my love for you grows,
And I hope to you this already shows,
I will do everything I can to make you see,
That you will always mean the world to me.
And from today until the day you're born,
I swear to keep the oath I've sworn,
You and Mum will always be cared for,
Protection is the oath I swore.
Not just to protect, but to always love,
Because you were a gift from above,
I never thought I would feel this way,
But now I can't wait until next May.
For when the day that you arrive,
I would have never before felt so alive,
You'll bring a tear straight to my eye,
And you'll look at me and you'll know why.
Because you will be the greatest gift,
And my heart and soul you will uplift,
That feeling there will be hard to beat,
From that moment on my life's complete.
But for now you sleep inside your Mummy,
Keep warm and snug inside her tummy,
And I'll look forward to the day you're here,
To take my heart when you appear.
So when you feel that hand on Mum,
And hear the sound of my low deep hum,
I know you'll know and for that I'm glad,
That here with Mum is your very proud Dad.'
What I'm trying to say is that I want more than anything to be pregnant with your baby. The idea that I would be carrying a life that we created together, that you put inside of me, is amazing. You know how much I want children but the longer we leave it the less chance there will be of me becoming pregnant."
She took a deep breath and sat down beside me. Her hand took hold of the side of mine which was still grasping the box.
"Do you remember me going to the hospital three weeks ago?"
I nodded slowly, confused as to where she was going.
"It was supposed to be a basic check-up but they ended up running some tests. I'm perfectly healthy. There are some women out there that can become infertile at a young age. Nothing is specific but it is certain that by my twentieth birthday I will no longer be fertile."
"Baby…"
"No, I haven't finished. Any day between now and my twentieth birthday I could become infertile. There will be periods of time in which I will be more fertile. I want our own child so much and you know that. We've talked about having children and I know we agreed that we wouldn't have any until we'd finished Uni but that will be too late. I'm not going to force you into anything Edward because we need to trust each other and feel safe with each other. I don't want to pressure you but I will be more fertile next Wednesday and for the next two weeks after that. Just think about it for me. I love you."
Before I could say or do anything she'd pecked my cheek and left the room, going back down to the pool. It hurt. Bella and I had talked about children quite often as our relationship grew. I knew exactly how much she wanted to have children of our own. As a woman, she had the right to have the chance of having a child. For some reason, Bella had a limited time to have a child; our child. After marrying Bella, my next dream would be for us to have a child. I wanted her to be round with our life inside her. Aren't we too young for that though? Neither of us had started University yet. Neither of us had any qualifications for a proper job, although money wasn't a problem. I knew one thing. I wouldn't be rushing into anything. I would think it over for the next week and decide then.
For now, I'd enjoy the vacation. I had plenty to worry about without having to think about a baby.
