Chapter 20
BPOV
I woke up to two soft lips pressed against mine and I smiled. Edward always knew how to wake me up right.
"Mmm, Prince Charming?" I said with a giggle.
"I am whoever you want me to be my love" Edward said, kissing me again.
"Well then Prince Charming, which fairy tale character am I?" I played.
"Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty…none of them compare to your beauty."
"How did I end up so lucky?"
"I think I should be the one asking that. You truly are God's greatest gift."
I smiled again and Edward kissed me tenderly.
"Edward..."
"Yes love?"
"I was thinking…"
"About what?"
"Well, I feel really bad about the way I spoke to Charlie and I know we are getting married in 3 weeks but I was wondering if we could go back to Forks soon so I have time to repair the damage with Charlie and visit with everyone there. What do you think?"
"I think that is a wonderful idea. When would you want to leave?"
"How about tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow would be perfect!!!"
"Fantastic! I will book the flights today" Edward said as he kissed me again.
Edward arranged our flight as I packed for us and got everything ready for the trip back to Forks. When I finished packing I decided to head downstairs and find something to eat for us. I walked into the kitchen to find Alice already preparing something.
"Mmmm, it actually smells good Alice, what is it?" I asked her, sniffing the aromas.
"Baked Ziti with cheddar garlic rolls" Alice said cheerfully as she opened the oven to reveal the cheesy gooey goodness.
"Ummm, am I going to be able to keep it down?" I asked, unsure of whether or not to even attempt to eat it.
"Yes silly! I have already seen it. Oh and remember, before you go to bed tonight, you need to call Renee, that way you can tell her before Charlie does" Alice said, sitting the yummy goodness down on the counter.
"Do I have to call her?" I whined like a 5 year old not wanting to pick up my toys.
"Yes, you have to" Alice said, shaking a wooden spoon at me. "You don't want me to use this on you do you?" she said, playing along.
"Awww, mom! Come on! I will do it tomorrow I promise!" I said, playing back.
"Isabella Marie Cullen! Don't make me call your Edward!" Alice said, playfully scolding me.
"Hey now, I might enjoy that…especially if he used that spoon" I said and Alice looked shocked. A smile soon fell across her face and we erupted into fits of laughter.
Emmett walked in on us just then and scowled. "Hey! No one is allowed to have fun unless I am involved!" he pouted.
"Yes daddy" Alice and I said in unison and that brought on more laughter.
"Hmmm dad…" Emmett said as he looked deep in thought for a moment before his golden eyes lit up. "Oh Rosie, you wanna play a game?" he called out walking out of the room.
"EWWWWW!" Alice and I both said as we shuddered at the thought. The next thing we heard was Rose squealing. We looked to see Emmett carrying her upstairs over his shoulder and her spanking him the whole way. They passed a confused looking Edward on the stairs and the look on his face made Alice and I laugh even harder.
Edward came into the kitchen as Alice and I were collapsing on the floor from the laughter; tears were streaming from my eyes. "Do I even want to know?" Edward asked.
"That all depends…daddy…" I said as playfully as I could. Alice and I looked at each other, debating on whether or not to tell him and when our eyes met we burst into laughter again.
Edward bent over and placed his lips against my ear. "Bella, you are only allowed to call me daddy in the bedroom" he said then stood up and stepped over our shaking bodies and took two plates out of the cabinet, the whole time chuckling to himself.
He dished up food for us and set it at the bar, the dining room table was still occupied by the mattress and pillows from my ultrasound. Edward got my prenatal vitamin for me and drinks for us too.
Alice helped me up off of the floor and I sat down to the scrumptious food. I tentatively stabbed some of the baked ziti and looked at it, debating on Alice's vision.
"Go on, eat it" Alice said, nudging me softly. I placed the fork in my mouth and savored the flavor. It was swimming with tomatoes, oregano, and garlic, and tasted SO good.
I swallowed the bite and dug in for more. I finished before Edward did and Alice dished me up seconds. I finished those at the same time Edward finished his first helping. I washed it down with a big swig of soda and then let out a huge burp. My hands flew up to cover my mouth and I blushed in embarrassment.
"Enchanting Bella, such a turn on" Edward said and laughed before he kissed me. "Ok, time to call Renee."
"NO!!!" I whined. "I don't want to."
"Bella, you have to" Edward said.
"Don't take Alice's side; you are supposed to be on my side!" I said.
"I am not taking sides, Alice just told me earlier that if you don't call her soon that Charlie will and I have a feeling that Charlie will not put a nice spin on it" Edward explained.
"Fine!" I huffed and got up from my chair. "Just let me go get my cell phone."
"Already have it" Alice said, flashing a smile at me as she produced my phone. "Oh and can you please turn it on speaker, I think Edward will enjoy the conversation."
"Huh?" Edward and I said in unison.
"Trust me Bella, I will be right here and will take it off of speaker myself if I see anything coming that you might not want anyone to hear" Alice said as she flipped the phone open, dialed Renee's number and placed the phone on speaker. She set it down on the bar as it started ringing. Two rings later Renee's voice filled the room.
"Bella! I haven't heard from you in forever! How are you? How is school? Are the Cullen's treating you well? You know that I still don't like the fact that you moved away with them but Charlie said they are nice and are taking care of you" Renee said without giving me a chance to answer.
"Mom…mom…MOM!" I said, trying to get her attention. "Take a breath and give me a chance to answer one question at a time."
"Ok, so, how are you?" Renee said and I laughed. I love my mom even though she is scatterbrained.
"I am fine; 2-school is great, I passed all of my finals and am taking a break before finishing up; and 3-the Cullens are fantastic and are treating me wonderfully."
"That is great to hear Bella. So, is there a reason you called? Did Charlie tell you about Phil being traded?"
"Phil got traded? Where to?"
"To the Round Rock Express in Texas, they are just outside of Austin. We are moving in a week and then Phil gets a month off before he starts training with them. They start work early there. He is soooo excited Bella. You should come and visit."
"That sounds great mom, tell Phil congratulations ok?"
"Will do honey. Now, I take it that isn't the reason you called. Why are you calling honey?"
"Well mom, I have some good news, well good news for me at least."
"Really Bella? Tell me tell me tell me tell me!"
"Mom, calm down, ok, well, I am pregnant! WITH TWINS!" I squealed into the phone and was answered by silence. "Mom? Did you hear me? I said I am pregnant. Mom? Mom? MOM!?!"
"Bella, are you sure?"
"Yes mom, Carlisle confirmed it and I have even heard the heartbeats on an ultrasound."
"So soon? When are you due?"
"March 21st."
"That is wonderful Bella, but who is the father? Oh no! Is it that boy Emmett? Or is it Jasper? You haven't told me about anyone else but them and I don't think it is Emmett; you talk about him like he is a big brother. But that Jasper, the way you talk about him made me think that there might be something going on but isn't he with Alice? She is supposed to be your friend Bella! What is she going to say when she finds out that you have been sleeping with her boyfriend? Bella! What were you thinking? How could you?" Renee carried on and my jaw was on the floor. Edward and Alice were trying to stifle their laughter and it didn't seem to be working well because they kept snorting and chuckling.
"MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed into the phone. "Calm down! No! They are not Emmett or Jasper's babies. They are Edward's!"
"HUH?!?" Renee said. "Edward? Edward Cullen? Oh honey Edward's dead, let me speak to Carlisle or Esme, I think we need to talk about medicating you."
"No mom, he came back! Charlie found him unconscious in the woods and took him to the hospital…" I said then told Renee the whole story of how Charlie had nursed Edward back to health but that he had amnesia then he sent him to me and how he remembered me and everything. "Oh mom, there is one more thing…"
"What's that Bella?"
"Well, can you and Phil be in Forks on September 5th?"
"For what?"
"Edward and I are getting married and I really really really want you guys there" I pleaded.
"Of course Bella! That is wonderful! Oh, I am so happy for you and Edward. I was so worried you would never get over the loss of him and now he is back and you are happy and PREGNANT!!! I will have to talk with Esme about the baby shower and everything…" Renee started up but I interrupted her.
"Mom, can we talk about this later? I have to get to bed early tonight because Edward and I are flying back to Forks tomorrow to start getting things ready for the wedding and so that I can try and repair things with Charlie."
"Why? What happened with Charlie?"
"Let's just say that he didn't take the news well and we got into a slightly heated argument over it. I want to try and make up with him."
"Ok Bella, good luck with that. You know how he can be. And we will definitely be there Bella; I wouldn't miss it for the world. Give everyone my love and I will see you in a few weeks. And Bella?"
"Yes?"
"I love you."
"I love you too mom."
I hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. Edward and Alice finally released their laughter and I joined in with them.
"So? You and Jasper huh?" Edward teased me. Upon hearing his name, Jasper appeared in the kitchen.
"Me and Bella what?" he said and it caused a fresh wave of laughter from Alice, Edward, and me.
"Apparently I am missing something. That will teach me to go hunting alone" Jasper said as he wrapped his arms around Alice's waist and kissed her shoulder.
"Apparently you are the father of Bella's children, at least according to her mom. She seems to think that Bella has a thing for you" Alice said, teasing me and I blushed deeply.
"Really Bella? I had no idea you felt that way for me" Jasper said playing along.
I decided to have fun with it and mess with Jasper. I pictured Edward naked between my legs and looked at Jasper with smoldering eyes. I batted my eyelashes at him as I got up and walked toward him slowly, swaying my hips the entire time. I reached up and trailed a finger down his arm and he swallowed loudly and nervously.
"Jasper?" I said in a low and sexy voice.
"Umm Bella, are you ok?" Jasper said, darting his eyes between Alice, Edward, and me. "Cause ummm, I am feeling, ummm…"
"Yes Jasper, I am fine now that I can finally tell you how I really feel about you" I said, trying to keep a straight face.
"Bella, I really don't think you should be doing…" Jasper started and I burst into laughter, followed by Edward and Alice.
"I am just messing with you Jasper!" I said and he relaxed immediately, letting out a deep breath.
"Not funny Bella! Not funny at all!" Jasper scolded me before Alice kissed him.
"Sorry Jasper, I won't do it again" I said, still laughing. Edward came up behind me and kissed me on the neck.
"Let's go relax in the room before tomorrow. It is a long flight tomorrow and I have a feeling it will be tiresome for you" Edward said as he took my hand and led the way upstairs. We spent the rest of the day watching movies in the room and cuddling. I finally fell asleep around 1:00 am and settled into a restless sleep as I dreamed of how many ways things could go badly with Charlie.
We got up the next morning and prepared to head out. Carlisle and Esme drove us to the airport and saw us off. It was a 6 hour flight from Philadelphia to Seattle. We also had to be at the airport 3 hours before departure and had a 3.5 hour drive from Seattle to Forks. It was 8:00 pm when we finally pulled into the gravel drive that lead up to the Cullen's house.
Edward helped me out of the car; I was stiff from all the sitting. I opened the door as he started to get the luggage. Esme had definitely had the cleaners there. My stomach growled suddenly and I wandered into the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat. Thankfully, Esme had the fridge stocked for us and I found the makings for sandwiches. I made Edward and I a few sandwiches as he took our stuff upstairs. Esme had to have his bedroom refurnished since I had everything moved to Pennsylvania after everything had happened.
When Edward was finished getting everything upstairs, we settled on the living room floor in front of the fireplace, eating and watching TV. I ended up falling asleep in front of the fire and Edward must have carried me upstairs to bed because that is where I woke up the next morning.
"So, you ready to face Charlie?" Edward asked over breakfast. He had made us scrambled eggs and toast. I was grateful that the morning sickness seemed to be subsiding already. I was starting my 3rd month and was starting to get hungrier faster and the pregnancy craving meals just didn't seem to fully fill me up anymore.
"I guess there is no time better than now" I said as I finished my glass of milk.
I washed up the dishes and we got into our rental car and headed for Charlie's house. I wondered what the day had in store for me.
Well? What did you think? What do you think is going to happen? If you review I will tell you who is going to enter the story line.............. (insert evil laugh here)
Thanks!
