ARMY WIVES
Chapter 21
Bella's POV
I woke up the next morning pressed up against a rock hard body. I snuggled into the man I loves chest and felt his arms hold me against his body even tighter. He knew I was awake because I felt his lips on my forehead.
"Good morning, love" He said. I smiled and opened my eyes to be met with two dashing, green Iris's staring back at me.
"Morning" I mumbled as he pulled the blankets tighter around my body. "What is your plan of attack today?"
He shrugged and buried his face back into my hair. The baby suddenly thought it would be a good time to make himself or herself present. Edward flinched and looked down at my large stomach between us.
He smiled and placed both of his hands on both sides of my stomach.
"Good morning to you to, baby" He whispered and placed a sweet kiss on top of my belly button causing the baby to get excited and kick even harder.
"I have a doctor's appointment on Wednesday" I whispered to him. He looked up and nodded.
"If you don't want me to go, I am totally ok with that" He said. "I can understand if you don't want me to go. I mean, I haven't been the best fiancé in the world"
"Of course I want you to come" I said as I threw the blankets off my body and waddled to the bathroom where I did my business.
"I'm going back to work on Friday" He said as he chucked on a pair of jeans.
"That's good" I said as I helped him make the bed. "It should keep you busy" He smiled and nodded before taking my hand in his and kissing both of them.
"I love you" He said to me. "You know that right?"
"Of course I do" I laughed. "Just because we had a bit of a rocky stage in our relationship doesn't mean I don't love you anymore"
He nodded and pulled me into a soft, romantic hug that made me turn into goo in his arms.
"How about we go out for breakfast at that diner of yours" He whispered in my arm. I shivered when I felt his warm breath on my ear but managed to nod in response.
"Do you want to have a shower first?" I asked. He nodded and kissed my forehead. "But hurry, I want to have one after too"
"Why don't we have one together?" He whispered seductively at me. I giggled and let him pull me into the bathroom.
An hour later we were walking down the main street towards my diner which was currently set up like a 60's diner.
As we walked through the door I saw Rosalie and Alice sitting there along with Jasper and Emmett. I knew Edward would be nervous so I kissed his cheek softly and whispered that everything would be ok.
"Edward, good to have you back" Emmett yelled as he stood up to give Edward a man hug. Rosalie moved over for me to sit down and we all squashed into one booth. My stomach was nearly touching the table so I placed my hand in front of it just in case I moved and knocked it.
"You're getting so big" Alice squealed. "I can't believe I'm going to be an aunty soon"
"Ali, you're not related to Edward or Bella" Jasper said. "You can't technically be the baby's aunty if you're not blood related.
"I know that, Jazzy" She said. "But since Edward and Bella don't have any siblings I thought I would take up the role of becoming the babies Aunty"
"Hey, don't forget about me" Rose said as she took a sip of her coffee.
While everyone bickered about who was going to be the babies aunty and uncle I looked over at Edward to find his fidgeting with my engagement ring on my finger.
"Hi Bella" A soft voice said. I looked over and saw Jessie standing there with her apron and work clothes on.
"Hey Jessie" I said. "Edward this is Jessie, Jessie this is Edward"
"Nice to meet you" Edward said. Jessie was extremely shy and didn't like to talk every often. It was hard for her to talk to customers, but she needed the job so I let her be.
"Do you guys want anything to eat?" She asked.
"Um, can I get pancakes with chocolate syrup" I said. I have been craving chocolate for the past three days and it was killing me. "Edward, what would you like?"
"I'll have the same please" He said. Jessie nodded and wheeled away on his roller blades. "This place is pretty cool"
"Thanks" I said. "I wanted it to look like the ones in the 60's"
"And you did a brilliant job of doing that" Edward said as he placed a soft kiss on my lips. I looked over to Emmett and Jasper to find they were whispering about something.
"We need to get going" Jasper said as he put his phone back into his pocket. "Carlisle needs us for some reason"
"Carlisle" Edward said. "As in my father, Carlisle"
"Ah, yeah, dude" Emmett said. "Didn't anyone tell you that?"
"Carlisle's been doing you're job while you were away" I whispered to him. He swallowed long and hard and nodded. I put my hand in his and hoped that he would get to angry over it.
"Why don't you come along with us" Jasper said. "See what's going on"
"Yeah, you're coming back on Friday" Emmett said. "Carlisle can run over some things with you"
Edward looked at me and I nodded for him to go.
"But what about his breakfast" Alice said. "Can't you two wait until he's finished?"
"Sorry, Ali" Jasper said. "We need to get going now"
"I'll go and cancel my order" Edward said as he stood up.
"Don't worry about it" I said. "I'm eating for two, remember"
Edward laughed and kissed the top of my head. Emmett, Jasper and Edward walked outside talking and mucking around with each other like old times.
"How is he?" Alice asked.
"He seems fine" I said. "I'm glad he's better"
"Do you want to come shopping with us?" Rosalie asked. "We need to get some stuff for your baby shower on Sunday"
"Oh, I completely forgot about that" I said. "I actually need to do some stuff here for a while, maybe we can catch up tonight or something"
They nodded and left me to eat my breakfast alone. I couldn't have been happier knowing that Emmett and Jasper are treating Edward as though nothing happened.
I have my husband back to his normal self, I have a baby on its way and my diner is up and running perfectly.
My life is simply great.
