Everything After
Chapter 14
Getting in shape for our wedding hasn't been easy.
I've got all three kids at home most days to myself. Sue does come over and help, but she's trying to let me be the mom I need to be.
Emmett has been gone a lot again, football practice, school and study groups he was busy all the time too.
"Are we ever going to have time to ourselves?" he joked.
"Welcome to parenthood." I sighed after I collapsed next to him in bed late one night.
"Have I told you how sexy you look?" he asked as he climbed on top of me.
"Not in quite some time mister."
"Well, you look very sexy." He whispered in my ear as we made love.
Our next few weeks went on like this due to our busy lives, but we made it work and we had most of our weekends together.
"Are you excited for your wedding next week Bella?" Alice asked as we were out sopping with Cooper.
"I am, I just want to be his wife officially. We're already married in our hearts." I shrugged.
"Well, I for one can't wait to see you show off that sexy body." She laughed.
"Whatever Alice. I've still got baby weight." I shook my head.
"Where? Your gorgeous boobs from nursing? Please!" she laughed.
We bought last minute honeymoon items and had lunch before heading home.
"Have fun shopping today babe?" I walked into the house and it was quite with the table set for two and candle lit.
"What's all this?" I dropped my bags in the foyer.
"I wanted to surprise you since I've been so busy." Emmett kissed me softly.
"I like these surprises." I hugged him tightly.
"Sue might have helped cook dinner a little though." He smiled that dimpled smile.
"A little, huh?" I pulled him into the kitchen where it smelled divine.
"Well, you'll provide the dessert." He placed me on the counter where things got heated quickly and clothes were shed.
The buzzer on the oven went off right as Emmett brought me to orgasm and he reached his release "Well, talk about perfect timing." He panted.
"Glad we had dessert first." I smiled as he slid his button up shirt over me.
"Me too, I might want more later." He kissed me quickly before racing over to the oven.
"Is that Sue's baked ziti?" I asked.
"Yes, it is."
We plated it up with our salad and Sue's homemade garlic bread and went to the dining room.
We talked about our upcoming wedding and our honeymoon, which would be a weekend away due to our busy schedules and the kids.
After dinner, Emmett surprised me with a bubble bath while he cleaned the kitchen and then he joined me in the shower for another round of sex before we passed out.
I was awoken in the wee hours of the morning to sweet kisses from Emmett.
"Hey beautiful."
"Hey."
"I want you to know that I plan on spoiling you for the rest of our lives." He kissed me passionately.
"And I promise to be patient with you when things get crazy."
"Then hopefully you'll be patient when things get really crazy after graduation for me?" He rolls onto his back pulling me with him smiling.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I ask a little nervous.
"Well, I was offered a position with the Seahawks." He smiled.
"What?" I sat up.
"Yeah, they sent out a recruiter to several games and then they've been to practice every day this week, they came back to officially sign me yesterday. Dad and our lawyer were there." He smiled.
I slapped his chest and got off him.
"Babe, come on! I thought you'd be happy for me." He sat up in bed.
"Exactly! For you. This is supposed to be for us! We're getting married, you should have discussed this with me. This is going to affect our future!" I stormed into the bathroom to shower.
"Bella, open the door. Come on." He banged on the door.
I turned my music up and took a nice long shower, ignoring his plea to open the door.
"Alice, after everything!" I sighed into the phone as I sat wrapped in my robe on the bathroom floor.
"He wanted it to be a surprise Bella, that's what he just told me."
"I get that. But, that is a BIG decision! He'll be gone a lot, traveling and I'll be here, I won't be able to go with him, he won't be here the majority of the time." I started crying.
"Think of the bright side." Alice chirped happily.
"The bright side?" I scoffed.
"Yeah. You won't have to work. You'll be able to hire someone to help out around the house and you can finish school."
"I guess. Look, I need to go." We said our goodbyes and she told me to be supportive. I scoffed again before hanging up.
I walked into the bedroom and he was sitting on the bed, showered and dressed.
"Babe, I'm sorry. I should have talked to you. I just wanted to surprise you and make a better life for us." He pulled me to him.
"I get that, but from now on, big decisions like this are made together. OK?" I pulled his face to look at me before kissing him.
"OK."
AN: Sorry for the wait…
Wedding up next…
