Chapter 19

Friday: October 27, 2008

Bella and I had spent the last month in total bliss in New York City. I had never been happier in my entire life…including when we were in high school. Everything just clicked with us. If I had ever doubted it before…I was one hundred percent sure of it now…she is my soul mate. She was made for me and I was made for her. Unfortunately…this morning we had to start our journey home.

We landed in Los Angeles this afternoon after a flight without incident. Bella and I had spent the eight hours just holding each other…trading gentle caresses and quiet words…trying to figure out what the hell we were going to do next.

While we were waiting to board this morning, Bella let me listen to the voice mail Mike left her. She was nervous about telling me…but I assured her that she did the right thing. We were going into this thing with no secrets and I wanted to keep it that way. And all I can say is…after listening to those messages…the one in particular…the fucking bastard was going to pay.

I'm not going to lie, I was seeing red and ready to kill that fucker the moment we landed. It took Bella a good ten minutes to calm me down enough for them to let me board the plane. But I did, knowing missing our flight wouldn't solve anything. I made Bella save it, and everything else just in case. I also made her forward the text messages he sent to my email.

That no good son of a bitch is going to die. How dare he threaten her that way? There was no way in hell he was getting his hands back on my girl…my girl…my future wife I hoped. Once all of this shit was sorted out with Tanya and Mike…I really wanted to make that a reality.

We both decided it would be best to stay at Alice and Jasper's place, which they whole heartedly agreed to allow. Emmett and Rose had enough problems stemming from our lives and Alice insisted we stay with them. I had no issues.

We got off of the plane and started making our way through the airport to get our luggage.

"Bella!" my pixie sister's voice rang out through the baggage claim of the airport. I turned and saw a head full of black, spiky hair nearly crash tackle the love of my existence in a bear hug that could rival Emmett's. Behind her trailed Jasper with the biggest shit eating grin on his face.

"Hey man," he said as we exchanged the manly one armed hug.

"Your home, your home, your HOME!" Alice sang as she wrapped her thin arms around me the best she could. Alice was starting to show a slight baby belly that, combined with her short arms, didn't work well for her hugging abilities.

"Bella," Jasper said softly as he wrapped my love in a warm embrace.

"Your home!" Alice squealed again. I laughed. My sister was starting to sound like a broken record.

"Yes, we're home Alice. We are home."

"That's what I mean," Alice looked at me, smirking. My words hit me as I realized what Alice was getting at. Bella and I are home.

Yeah, being with Bella is home.

"Come on man, let's go get the bags." Jasper and I made quick work of the luggage and hauled it out to their SUV. Bella and I took the back seat with Bella leaning against me, as Jasper drove. Alice was turned in her seat talking animatedly.

"So I invited Rose and Em over for lunch and we're going to figure out what the fuck we're going to do about this mess." I felt Bella tense in my arms.

"Alice…" she started, but was cut off by my hyper active sister.

"Don't 'Alice' me missy. You two are together and if I have anything to say it is staying that way. This family is complete now; we just have to get rid of the spares. Family takes care of family. And so help me if that means circling the wagons and presenting a united front against the BB's then we will do it with a smile. Anyway, my little one's going to need his or her's favorite aunt to help with the English homework." Alice smiled as she placed a hand on her stomach. Bella sighed with a large grin taking over her face.

"BB's?" I asked, catching Alice's phrase from a moment ago.

"Bitch and Bastard, respectively," Alice piped up. "Now I was thinking we should get a private investigator to follow those two around. I have a friend who would be willing to help and would do it for free. Rose and I helped him out with his sister's wedding. They needed last minute bridesmaid gowns. With the economy, business has been slow and he's bored. I'll give Seth a call. He and his sister run the business together and trust me; you don't want to mess with them."

Bella remained quiet through all this. Personally, I had no issues with a private investigator. I wanted more than just a divorce from the Bitch. And as far as he was concerned…I wanted the Bastard either in the grave or in a jail cell. I think Bella would be upset if I put him six feet under, so the jail cell will have to do.

I wonder if this Seth guy would be willing to help dispose of a body?

We unloaded the car and Bella and I made our way to the spare bedroom, now our room, to decompress before Emmett and Rosalie got here.

"Come here," Bella held her arms open to me as she lay on the bed. I crawled in beside her and held her in my arms. She ran her hands through my hair, gently scratching the scalp.

It didn't matter that we had a mess of our marriages to deal with right now. Nor did it matter that the Bastard may very well come after Bella and me once this hit. I didn't even want to think what kind of bullshit the Bitch might try to pull.

I had Bella in my arms, and we were together.

I hummed in contentment, never wanting to leave this room again.

BPOV

Alice mentioned a private investigator to gather evidence against Mike and Tanya.

A little over a month ago I would have said hell no, but now…now it wasn't looking like such a bad idea.

Edward and I lay on the bed for a good hour and a half, just being, letting the stress of the next coming weeks sit outside the bedroom door. This bed was a stress free zone.

"Bells? Ed-o? Come on down," I heard Emmett holler up the stairs. I burrowed into Edward's shoulder, not wanting to move.

"Come on love, time to circle the wagons."

Alice mentioning circling the wagons in the car had made me want to cry. They were willing to fight for us, do whatever it took to help us get free, because we were family. Alice reminded me of Esme when she said that. She is so strong and determined; willing to do anything for her family. Sweet, sweet Alice was ready to claw some eyes out to get Edward and me out of this mess.

And I loved her even more than I already did for it.

"Come on," Edward pulled me off the bed and down the stairs, never letting my hand go.

We exchanged hugs with Rose and Emmett, who wouldn't let go of me for a full two minutes, before we sat down on the back patio to eat chicken salad and pasta.

"Down to business," Alice said from her spot at the head of the table. "First, what were you two thinking of doing? We need to know your plan so we're all on the same page."

I looked at Edward and he squeezed my hand. Taking a deep breath I dove right in with our plans.

"I sent a text to the Bastard," wow, I was so getting into Alice's nickname for him, "and kept it pretty vague. All I said is that I'd talk to him when I got back. I gave him the impression I'd give him what he wants. The message he left was…well…" Edward jumped in, explaining the disturbing voicemails and text messages Mike had sent. Rose clenched her fist while Emmett wrapped a beefy arm around his wife's shoulders.

"Nobody will use us as a threat," Rose seethed. I had no doubt of her sincerity.

"I agree," Alice started. "And besides that…if he wants to try and turn-in Emmett and Rose…let him. Those pictures we took of you before you left for New York prove what he did to you Bells. He won't look credible."

"You took pictures?" Edward asked his tiny sister.

"Yes, sir! We were documenting!"

Edward walked over to his sister and hugged her tightly. "My sister is fucking brilliant."

"Anyway," I continued, wanting to get away from that subject for now, "Edward and I were thinking of heading over when no one was home and getting some of our stuff. Then we will call and make a date to speak to them both in public. Neither of us wants to break the divorce news in private. It's just safer to do everything as publicly as possible. I like the idea of Alice using Seth's agency. Digging up some dirt and just watching Mike in general makes me feel safer. Same for Tanya; she's a conniving bitch and I wouldn't put it past her to try something…especially now that her equally conniving sister has joined the party. The best thing is to just get this done and finished as soon as possible." I finished with a sigh.

"I like it," Emmett spoke up, his voice grim. "Neither of you are going over there alone, nor are you meeting them, whether it's in public or not. Jazz and I will play backup."

I could live with that, and I told them just that.

Saturday: October 28, 2008

Edward and I made love well into the early hours of the morning. We were both spent by the time we were finished. I had never felt more alive in my life. He was my everything…for now and for always. I couldn't fathom how I made through the past few years apart from him. I would never make that mistake again.

I was awakened by the feeling of feather light kisses all of my body. "Mmmm…didn't you get enough last night…well I guess I should say this morning?"

We were both still completely naked and before he responded, he had flipped me onto my back and started kissing his way further down my body. "Nonsense, love…I will never get enough of you," he said in between kisses.

I was grasping at the sheets just from his light touches and kisses. He was driving me insane. And just when he had made it between my legs and nudged them apart…and was just about to place his tongue right where I wanted it…that's when I felt it…this overwhelming need to vomit.

I shoved him off of me and ran into the bathroom that was thankfully adjoined to the guest room and emptied what little was in my stomach. Once I started I couldn't stop. I felt Edward caressing my back and holding my hair up for me. Bless his heart.

"Damn sweetie, are you alright?"

I sat back on my heels for a minute. I put my hand over my mouth and nodded slowly. "Wow where did that come from? I felt fine when I first woke up."

"Maybe it was that spicy Thai takeout we had last night for dinner."

"Yeah you're probably right…damn Alice and her cravings."

We both laughed at that. I started to get up off of the floor but swayed a bit with dizziness. "Whoa there sweetheart…are you sure you're alright?"

"I think I just stood up too fast Edward. I'm fine. I need to brush my teeth though, I feel gross."

"Well if it's all the same to you…I think I'll just stand right here and hold you up while you do that…just to make sure you're okay."

"Oh and it has nothing to do with the fact that you'll use any excuse to put your hands all over me…does it Mr. Cullen?" I asked him playfully.

"Hmmm…you know me too well Miss Swan."

He wrapped his arms around my waist from behind. He held true to his word and held me up while I brushed my teeth. I was kind of glad he did…because if I was being honest…I still didn't feel great. But I didn't want to worry him so I kept it to myself. I was sure it was just the spicy food from last night. I knew better than to eat it. It never sits well with me when I eat spicy food.

We were in our own little bubble in the bathroom until we heard shouting from downstairs. It sounded like three female voices and one male. I knew Alice and Jasper were down there. So I could only imagine who the other two females were.

Can we get a break for just once…please?

I was only just getting started on my Bella when she pushed me off of her and ran into the bathroom. When I walked in there, she was throwing up the contents of her stomach. I immediately went in to care and protect mode and rubbed soothing circles on her back while I held her hair up for her.

Then when she tried to get up from the floor, she almost landed back on it. She told me she thought she got up too quickly but I knew there was more to it. She looked really green. And she might not have noticed it recently…but I have…she's been very tired and sometimes moody.

If I was being honest with myself…there was only one conclusion that made sense for me to come to…I think she's pregnant. And god help me but I fucking hope she is. It would make me so happy for her to be pregnant with my child. I didn't know how to bring it up to her so I was going to let it go for now.

For now I just settled with her thinking it was spicy Thai food from last night and holding her up while she brushed her teeth. As I held her there…I saw images of us standing just like this in a few months…only her stomach wasn't flat…it was protruding out…swollen…with our child.

Our child. I can't tell you how much I loved the sound of that. I wanted it so badly. There was only one problem with my perfect little scenario. Mike…or should I say Bastard? Depending on how far along she is…the baby could be his. She was having sex with him before we started sleeping together. And then there was the time that he…forced himself on her…before we went to New York.

It didn't matter to me though. If she is pregnant. I don't care who the father is. Of course I want it to be me…but it will still be part of Bella…and I will love it no matter what. And Mike will not get anywhere near this baby whether it is his or not.

Look at me…thinking like it's already a reality. We don't know that she's pregnant. Hell that thought hasn't even crossed her mind. And I guess it shouldn't…she is on the pill. So it probably is just the Thai food from last night and I am just wishful thinking.

Bella had finished brushing her teeth and was just staring back at me in the mirror, smiling. "Where are you? You seem so deep in thought." She said to me.

"I'm right here…right where I want to be."

And because we are Edward and Bella and seem to be incapable of having too many perfect moments…apparently we've met our quota for the month…just as I was about to contemplate taking her right here on this bathroom counter…we heard voices arguing downstairs.

Unfortunately…I knew exactly who was here. My fucking soon-to-be-ex-wife and her no good sister. This should be fun.

Bella sighed…and I smiled at her as I took her hand and led her downstairs to the source of the commotion.

Alice POV

Saturday: October 28, 2008

I was so happy for my brother and my best friend. I couldn't believe how everything had turned out…finally. Now we just had to take care of their problems. And then everything could go back to the way it was supposed to be. I was so excited and couldn't wait.

It was to my husband's delight that I was in such a good mood this morning. Also…much to his enjoyment…I was at the part of my pregnancy where I was…shall we say…insatiable. Jasper was more than happy to meet all my needs.

He was a tad bit grumpy when I woke him up this morning because we were kept up late by the sounds coming from the guest room. Unfortunately for us, my brother and Bella are also insatiable and they are quite loud about it.

But Jasper was in a much better mood when he discovered why I woke him up…once he looked up and saw my hand wrapped around his cock…stroking it up and down.

As I was just about to take my rather large and willing husband into my mouth…there was an annoying knock on the door downstairs…along with the doorbell being rang repeatedly. It was quite annoying and I was pissed…to say the least.

Somehow, I had a feeling that I knew exactly who was at our front door. And she was about to get a fucking ear full!

I growled as I got up out of our bed. Jasper was spewing off profanities. "Sorry that I have to leave you hanging Jazzy. But I think there is a blonde downstairs just dying to get her ass kicked."

He laughed and said, "Damn you're hot Ali when you are pissed. Go get her baby!"

I threw my robe on, hurried down the stairs, and threw open the front door. I hoped the look on my face was as menacing as I intended it to be. Jasper often told me when I was trying to look mean I looked like a kitten trying to be a cougar. But this time I meant business!

"What the fuck do you want Tanya?" I hissed at her.

She was standing at the door with her own menacing look. Like I was scared of this fake blonde twig. There was another woman with her. She was another blonde…a darker shade of blonde than Tanya…looked like she was maybe a year older than Tanya at the most.

"Where is he Alice? I know that you know! Now either he is here staying with you or he is somewhere else in which case…I know that you know where!"

She sounded like an idiot! And she looked kind of psychotic.

"I'm sure I don't know what you are talking about Tanya. Who is your friend?" I asked pointing to Kate.

"Oh…this is Kate."

I smirked at them both as I said, "Ah I see," I tapped my finger to my chin and continued, "Now would this be…Kate your sister…or Kate…Bella's college roommate? Hmmm…which one is she Tanya?"

They were both silent. Tanya looked shocked. "Let me answer that question for you troll…it's both! That's right…Edward's on to you and your little games Tanya. He is so done with you. And I couldn't be happier. We are finally going to be rid of you from this family. Now I suggest that you get the hell off of my property before I call the police and have you removed!"

I started to shut the door in her face but they both put their hands out to stop me. "I mean it Tanya. Get lost!"

These bitches were actually trying to force their way through the fucking front door. "I'm not leaving here until I have searched every inch of this house you little bitch! I know my Edward is here and I want to talk to him…now!"

They were forcing their way through and I was too tiny to hold them off…I couldn't take on the both of them…and I didn't want any harm coming to my baby. As Jasper was coming down the stairs they made their final shove forward which knocked me to the ground. Tanya was standing over me…about to grab the collar of my robe…probably to shake some answers out of me or something stupid like that. She didn't get very far though.

My usually passive husband was pissed! And damn he was hot.

"What the FUCK do you think you are doing? My wife is pregnant you idiots! How dare you come into our home and have the audacity to knock her to the fucking ground. I was raised to never hit a woman but I think even my mama would want me to make an exception in this case."

As he said that he raised his hand to slap Tanya across the face…but my honey being the gentleman that he is…couldn't follow through. So he just politely shoved her into the wall away from me.

He leaned down and helped me up. My Jazzy scooped me up into his arms and carried me into the living room. As he sat me down on the couch he spoke to me, "Ali…are you alright darlin'? Is the baby okay?"

I cupped his cheek. I loved this man so much. "I'm fine my hero! That bitch can't hurt me."

"Oh you just wait and see how much I can hurt you…you…you annoying little bitch!"

"Wow…Tanya…that was such an amazing comeback…I don't know how you ever thought of it," I said to her rolling my eyes.

Jasper was literally growling at her…daring her to come near me. Tanya put up her hands and her expression softened…but Kate spoke.

"Look, this is all getting out of hand. Just let Tanya see Edward and everything will be fine with everyone. She just wants to talk to her husband."

Then I heard the voice that I was wondering whether or not it would be making an appearance. I knew they had to have heard all of the commotion.

"Yes…well I won't be her husband for very much longer."

Tanya whipped her head around and looked at the couple standing at the bottom of the stairs…with their hands clasped tightly together…while Edward had his free hand wrapped around Bella's waist with her pulled firmly into him.

And let's just say…Tanya looked like a caged animal that was ready to be unleashed.

This was not going to be good.
