Fucking A! Why the fuck did I want to have a kid again? I can't fucking breathe, I can't see my feet, my back hurts and my husband is a fucking 2 year old. I swear to god if this kid comes out anything like his father I'll kill them both. What the hell is wrong with me? What am I thinking? I could never hurt my baby, Em yes, but QB1 never. I'm so glad this is almost over with; only 8 weeks to go and Lamaze classes are here at home over Thursday, for now, then we do one online class a week with my OBGYN's office via skype, but I'm sure dad will have me working on that shit when he's with us on the road. Hell I wouldn't put it past Jazz for that matter. All that's left is pulling off this whole RV/bus surprise for Em, kick off is in 8 days and we hit the road tomorrow.
"Sweets! Where the hell are you?" I bellowed as I make my way in the front door of the bakery.
"Upstairs."
As I make my way to the bake of the bakery I noticed the place is covered yet again in flour and Jasper is mumbling under his breath about something while sweeping the floor.
"Hun…"
"Edward." was all I got as a reply. Shit that's not good.
"How are the lessons going?" I asked hoping to have a little light shed on what happened this time.
"Done. Over with. No more. Not going to happen again."
"Love, you know it's not that bad. You just have to keep at it." Edward laughed. You shouldn't have laughed dumb ass.
"I'll continue baking lessons when you start inking lessons." Jasper smirked knowing he had finally won the battle.
"Whatever assholes. I just want to know if you got the package delivered or have you both been here fucking up my place all god damn morning?" I yelled. My patience already gone for the day.
"Relax Momma. The RV is out back and ready to go. We went last night and stocked everything. Food has been put away, sheets washed, beds made, freezer is full, grill has been cleaned and the tanks are full. The only thing missing is Bear."
"Thanks guys. Emmett is taken care of. I told him last night that I upgraded the RV, but he still has no clue the extent of the upgrade…" Before I could finish my phone beeped.
Heading you way. You want anything? Xoxo Em-
-Loops-
"Cool. Em's on his way."
"Keys are in the box on the desk. Leah and the guys have everything else under control. Inventory for both shops are done and stock put away. Mom's flight gets in at 7:00 this evening and she will be here until homecoming, then she is meeting us in Atlanta for the weekend before she flies home." Edward explained.
"Yea Bells. Everything is taken care of. Leah has agreed to cover the shop for me while we are gone so I'm free to enjoy myself as well. I also went ahead and put away your clothes as well as some other personnel items too. So relax." Jazz says with a wink.
What in the hell is he talking about? That can't be a good thing because Sweets is giving me that look that says he has no clue what's going on. Damn it boy.
"Whatever, Hun. Don't forget we are leaving my house no later than 5:00 am tomorrow morning; earlier if I can get Rose and Ali to move their asses." I stated before heading back up front to wait on Emmett.
"Already taken care of." Jasper laughed.
"What did you do, Love?" I head Edward ask and had to laugh at Jasper's reply. No clue what the boy did. I just pray to god it works.
"You will have to wait and see, just like everyone else." He laughed.

I'm hoping my little plan works. I finished a tattoo for a guy from the power company last month and told him to come by anytime and I'd take care of him. He showed up at the shop Monday and wanted to have his new son's name added just above his heart. After shooting the shit with the man for a few hours and I told him what was going on with the shop and so forth with kick off right around the corner I came up with the perfect plan to have Rosie and Tink on time for the first time in their lives. I just hope everything goes as planned.
***Flashback***
"Whitlock, man I need to add a name to my chest. My first son was born Saturday morning." Jim proudly proclaims.
"Congrats man. What'd ya name him, man?"
"Hunter Hartley Abrams. 7 lbs. 7 oz. 22 inches long."
"Hunter. I like it. Where did you get Hartley from? Never heard of that name before?"
"It was my grandpa's name. All the boys in my family are named for the father's grandpa, which is cool unless you're my cousin then you end up begin named Shannon. No lie." He laughed.
"So, your great grandfather's name was Jim then?"
"Hell no. His name was Frances. Thank you god my mother put her foot down and refused to use that as my first name and named me Jeremy instead, Jeremy Frances Abrams it was."
"That's funny. Jasper was my dad's name as well as my grandfather and great grandfather as so forth, we all have the same first name with a different middle name, Jasper Samuel Whitlock. But that tradition stops with me. I hate my name and will not force that shit on my son." I laughed and stopped suddenly. The perfect plan coming to mind.
"Dude, can you help me out with something?"
"Depends."
"Can you cut the power at my sister's place a day before its scheduled to be turned off. My sister and her wife always and I mean always make us late for everything and we have to be on the road no later than 5 Saturday morning or we will never make it to Oklahoma in time for the game. And I will not feel the wrath of a pregnant woman again because of them."
What the hell is he laughing at?
"Say nothing more. Just give me the address and I'll make it happen."
"Thanks."
"So when is your wife due?"
"No wife. I don't think my partner would like that too much." I laughed.
"Really, while she must be really special to go to all of this trouble."
"That she is. She is Edward's business partner and best friend. So if she ain't, then Edward ain't happy which makes me a very grumpy man." I laughed.
***End of Flashback***
"Love? Is everything alright?"
"Why would you ask that, Babe?" I asked puzzled.
"I've been trying to get your attention for the last few minutes. You looked a little lost."
"No babe. Everything is good. Just want to get on the road. There's nothing better that college football and getting to spend the season traveling around the states with you and our family makes it that much better." I explained pulling him close.
"Sorry for earlier. I won't make you do anything you don't want to do." I whispered placing a soft kiss to his ear.
"I know love. I just wanted to share something with you that I love almost as much as I love you. By the way, I think I have a plan to make our wedding ours alone and let Alice have her fun for a few months as well." I whispered in his ear as well.
"I would love to hear it, but Bear just pulled in."
EPOV
I can't believe Jasper and I have been engaged for a month now and we still have not set a date. Go figure. This is the one thing I will NOT let him do last minute, unplanned and completely unorganized. But, I'll be damned if I let the evil pixie plan my wedding. I just hope we can pull off what I have planned and that is to plan our wedding while she thinks she is planning it for us. Now, I know you are asking yourself how in the hell am I going to accomplish this small feet, well that's for me to know and you to find out. I just have to run my idea by Jazz and see what he says and of course make one very tiny phone call… I can't believe some of the shit that runs thru my head. I mean come on, he is standing here whispering his apologies in my ear so sweetly and I'm planning our wedding not even listening to him. Okay, time to move, get this shit on the road and then get him out of here, we still have to finish packing for the trip.
"Emmett, it's about fucking time you get here. We have shit to do before we leave. Bells, can we get this shit over with?" Jasper says so eloquently.
"Get what over with Momma?"
"Here, It's out back." Bella says tossing the keys towards Emmett.
"$50 says he drops the keys" Leah states.
"$100 says he just stands there opening and closing his mouth forever" Jasper returns.
"I'll see those bets and raise it to $200 and I say he does both then kisses the hood." I say laughing.
And that's when we hear the back door open and then Bella laughing.
"Pay up." I said over my shoulder as I make my way out the back. And sure enough, there he stands mouth opening and closing and the keys at his feet.
"Not so fast babe. One part of the bet has yet….." Jasper said dropping the sentence off as he noticed Emmett's face pressed into the hood of the bus.
"How in the hell did you know he would do that Edward?" Leah asked grinning.
"To be honest. It's what Jasper would have done if he were in Emmett's shoes." I laughed.
JPOV September 22, 2009
So here we are just 3 games into the season and the Bulldawgs are 2 and 1. We are a little over 4,000 miles into our road trip and I'm behind the wheel again as we make our way from Arkansas to Athens. We, the family as a whole, have all agreed that Emmett is forbidden to drive the RV ever again. Don't ask, it's a very short, scary as hell story and I'm not going to get into that again. Any way, it's around 5 in the morning so I figure it's safe to bring up wedding plans again, since Rose made sure Alice was out cold for a while.
"Babe, have you given any more thought to setting a date?"
"Yes Love, I have. I'm thinking the 31st of December at the stroke of midnight in New York with my mom. The catch is, I want it to be surprise for everyone else. Not tell them anything at all. It shouldn't be a problem since we are in New York at that time every year for the charity ball mom puts on every year to raise money for breast cancer research."
WOW! He really has thought about this more than I have. A New Year's Eve wedding. I like the sound of that.
"Sounds like a plan, but what about the Pixie? How are we going to get this past her?" I asked because I really didn't want her to plan our wedding. I want Edward to plan it and no one else.
"Easy. We tell everyone we have set a date sometime next summer and then turn her loose. We can tell her we already have the venue reserved and have the catering company picked out. We just have to pay them off to keep up the charade, then we work with my mom to have our wedding the way we want it."
"Wow, Babe. Sounds like a plan to me. You just tell me what time I need to be there and you and mom can plan your dream wedding." I laugh because there is no way in hell I'm going to help plan this thing. If it were up to me we'd be at the court house right now and be done with it.
"Not mine, Love. Ours." Edward whispers as he places a loving kiss on the side of my neck before taking a nip and sucking lightly on it.
"Edward. Don't start something you can't finish." I warned quietly.
"Who said anything about not finishing." He smirked.
"Damn it Edward. We can't do this now. I'm driving and we both make way to much noise. You and I both know we will wake everyone up."
"Same rules as last time. Keep your mouth shut and stay in your lane. One warning and I quit." He says while untying my sweat pants and slipping his hand inside.
"Edward. Don't"
"Don't do what love?" he replies innocently while stroking my cock painfully slow.
"Make a sound or swerve and I stop and get back in my seat." He whispers in my ear before moving down my neck nipping and sucking as he moves lower.
"Okay, I'll try." I whimpered.
Ever so slowly he continues to stroke my hard thick cock while nipping his way down my now exposed chest. He stops to pull down on the barbell in my left nipple which causes me to moan softly.
"You like that don't you, love. A little pain with your pleasure, but I told you not to make a sound. Anymore and I quit." All I can do is nod because I've fallen for this trick before and I refuse to answer verbally knowing that it will cause him to stop.
"Very good, love. You remembered. Now where was I. Oh, yes."
The next thing I know my cock is engulfed into his hot wet mouth 'til I hit the back of his throat. All I want to do is scream out his name as he slowly bobs up and down. The sensation of his teeth scrapping over the sensitive skin is making it so difficult to focus on the road, but if I swerve it's all over with. Whimpering in an effort to stay in my lane I can feel him smile. Little fucker.
"What was that, Love? You want me to stop."
I answer by shaking my head violently back and forth. Please god don't stop. I'm so fucking close.
"That's what I thought."
Taking me back into his fuck hot mouth, I can't help but thrust my hips forward. At this, he picks up his pace and slides a hand back into my sweats to tug on my balls gently. Thrusting wildly into his mouth, I feel him hollow out his cheeks and speed up his motions. As he swallows around my throbbing cock I lose it. Thrusting my hips one last time, I shoot my load down his throat with a long low groan. He continues to bob up and down milking me for everything I have moaning at the taste before releasing me.
"Mmmmmmm. I love the way your cum taste." he says tucking me back into my sweats after softly kissing my now flaccid cock .
"Now, about those wedding plans?" Edward asks smirking.
"I'd love to help you plan our wedding Babe. But, I can't wait to honeymoon and I'm planning it all by myself. You have a passport don't you? We also need to look into the laws governing same sex marriage in New York state because it's illegal to wed in Washington state, but they honor marriages from other states. " I smirked knowing it would drive him crazy having no say in something.
"Yes, I have a passport and I'll start looking into that Thursday after the pixie is gone. She said something about having a meeting with a design firm while in town. Her and Rose are staying in Atlanta 'til Friday evening so they'll be back in time for kick off Saturday."
"That works out perfect, because Bear, Bells and me have our last Lamaze class tomorrow morning via Skype, but Carlisle said something about practicing while on the road. You think you can talk to your mom and start researching everything while we finish up our class? I would love to keep this a surprise from everyone."
"Shit yea. I can get mom on the phone right after everyone leaves and have her help me with the laws and shit. I can also get her to send me the information on the venue and caterers she is using for the charity event. I'll also book us a flight up the week of our bye, that way we have plenty of time to visit and still make it back for the road trip to Jacksonville."
"Sounds like a plan."
I can't help but laugh to myself because he is so fucking cute right now. He climbed back into the passenger seat and booted up his laptop already working on an outline for research and plans. I wouldn't put it past him if he was able to have a chat window opened up with his mom right now. God, he's such a girl sometimes. But, he's my girl and I wouldn't have it any other way.
"Hey babe. What if everyone wore mask?" I asked thinking out loud really.
"That could work. I'll talk to mom see what she thinks."
"You said this thing is black tie, right. That means I have to wear a monkey suit, doesn't it?"
"Yes, dear. A monkey suit as you so eloquently put it is required. Why do you ask?"
"Just takes a while to psych myself up to wear one. Haven't wore one since my senior prom and I told myself I would never wear another one." I laughed. God I hated that damn thing. So fucking uncomfortable, felt like I couldn't' breathe. Worst night of my life. Hell I didn't own a suit 'til Rose got hitched and then I still didn't buy the damn thing, Allie did.
"And why is that love?" He says with a knowing look.
"Senior Prom. Worst night of my life. You know, losing your virginity and all." I laughed.
"Let me guess, couldn't get it up." He chuckled.
"Couldn't even work up the nerve to kiss her. It just felt wrong on so many levels and I just left. Went down by the water tower and that's where I meet Him. Hence I don't like monkey suits." I stated plainly.
"I understand, Love. But do you think you could wear it for me? For our wedding?" Edward pleaded.
"Anything for you, babe."
EPOV
Things to do, Things to do. So much shit to do. Time to make a spreadsheet of shit that needs to be done.
*Laws in New York state
*Laws in Washington state
*Theme…masks? Alice to design and bid on to raise money
*July 4th date for Tink to plan for. Make arrangements with a location and caters and agree on a $$$ amount to hold dates.
*Tuxes
*Flight arrangements for By week to travel to mom's
Shit, I need to talk to mom. Damn it. No wireless. Oh…text…that should work for now.
-Mom, need to talk to you about wedding plans. We had an idea. Xoxo E&J-
Damn that was quick.
-No problem baby boy. You boys let me know what you need and I'll work my magic. Xoxo mom-
-How what you feel about Dec. 31 wedding during the charity event? Maybe a masquerade ball…black and white theme maybe. Or will that be too much for you? Xoxo E&J-
-Sounds wonderful and the black and white is perfect. Winter Wonderland theme for this year's ball. I'll call with details later. Xoxo Mom-
-Perfect. Xoxo E&J-
"Love, mom said to let her know what we need and she would take care of it."
"Cool, but let's not discuss this now." He says tilting his head back towards the sitting area.
Damn, what the hell is wrong with him? What the hell have I done now? I swear here lately I can't do a god damn thing right.
"Why not? I want to talk about it now." I whined turning to look out my window.
"Good Morning Momma Bear. How are you feeling today?"
Well, that's a good reason not to talk about this right now, but still.
"Fuck you Jazz and what the hell has pretty boy's panties in a bunch at this hour?" Bella bitched and rubbing her lower back.
"Oh, he wants to discuss wedding dates and we have already decided on the 4th of July 2010, which is a Monday, and he wanted to have it on that Saturday the 2nd."
"Don't talk about me like I'm not here." I pouted.
"Cool. Dates set, which means the décor is taken care off, because we all know how Sweets is with this kind of shit. Let me guess. Red, white and blue color scheme and fireworks after dark, just like when you proposed. But that shit is being catered because I'll be damned if I'm cook for everyone if it's your damn wedding." Bella blatantly stated.
"You know me so well. Don't forget the jeans and the plain shirts." I said smirking at Jasper.
"Works for me, Babe. We'll just hand it all over to Ali and we are done."
About the time he finishes talking, I see Rose and Alice climbing out of their bunk and I hear the toilet flush. Thank you god for up-grades. Well, at least this is one thing I can make off my to-do list.
"Hand what over to me?" Alice asked sleepily.
"Wedding planning. We set a date, July 4, 2010. That will give you enough time to plan it right, Tink?"
"OH MY GOD! Finally. Yes, I'll have plenty of time to take care of everything. First thing is first, we need to find a location and then caters and a color scheme…." Alice squeaks.
"Hold on Ali. Momma Bear, you think we could have it at your place?"
"Sure, it's fine with me. I'll call Renee and Esme see if they will come out early and help me finish the landscaping in the back. Shouldn't be a problem."
"There Ali, location is set. The rest is all you. All Edward and I ask is that we get final say in the caterers. Right, Babe?" Jasper says with a wink.
"That's right, love. We get final say in the caterers and I approve all rental agreements before any payments are made. I was thinking something like an elegant BBQ." Something simple would be great, but Alice doesn't do anything simple.
"I can work with that." Alice says as she climbs head first into a storage bin coming up with a sketch book.
"Okay ladies, we're here. Home sweet home 'til October sometime. I'm going to bed." Jasper says with a yawn after pulling into the Cullen compound.
"Right behind you love."
"Come wake us up later. Love you all."
Kissing Bella and a quick rub for Tater we make our way to the back to our bunk, climb in and pull the shade down.
