Chapter 5

Edward

"I… I could try to nurse him." Her words came like an angel's sent to save me. My head snapped up. "I don't know if it would work. I've only ever nursed Elizabeth."

"You'd try?" I stood to look her in the eye to see if she was serious.

"Yeah, I mean, my heart is breaking for him. I want to help." I was willing to try anything, even this. I had no idea if it would work, but I took Charlie from Esme.

"How do we do this?" I asked.

"I just need a place to sit down. A couch would be perfect."

I carried Charlie into the living room toward the couch. As soon as I handed Charlie to Bella he began to try to nurse through her clothes. It was similar to what he'd done with Esme, and with me a few times when I held him close, but with Bella it was different. I supposed he could smell her milk and knew she had what he so desperately needed. I turned my back as to not embarrass her. "I'll, uh, give you privacy," I said and walked back into the kitchen. Esme followed.

Charlie had stopped crying for a moment, but started again. He started crying for a second time, stopped and started a third. I was about to go back in there and thank Bella for trying but Esme stopped me. "Give it a few minutes. It might seem like a natural thing, but newborns have a hard time latching on. It's only going to be harder for Charlie. He's used to a bottle."

"What does that have to do with anything?" I asked.

Esme held up one of his bottles. "Look at the nipple." I looked at it. It looked like every baby bottle nipple I'd ever seen.

"So?"

"Does this look like any woman's nipples you've ever seen?" The lightbulb clicked. "I'm sure it's not like Bella's."

Why the hell did she have to say that. An image of Bella's breasts popped into my head and I felt my cock tingle. She was right though. No woman had nipples like the bottle and I had to assume Bella didn't either.

"Anyway, it's quiet now and that means it's working."

Again Esme was right. I'd never left him with anyone other than Esme and I was a bit nervous. I busied myself cleaning up the milk on the floor which reminded me of why we were doing this in the first place.
