CHAPTER 20
Ever since Renee and I had dinner, I was coming to a understanding of why she did what she did. I still didn't totally forgive her,but I was getting there slowly. I still had to talk to Edward about Lilly meeting her as her grandmother and how to deal with that situation. Phil and Renee were staying through the holidays and then they had to go back.
Thanksgiving was one week away and I was having everyone over here for the first time. Our solarium will be finished in a couple of days and I can't wait to be able to share it with Edward. Esme and Edward are busy getting everything for the room and it should be great when it's finished.
I saw Lauren not too long ago at the hospital when I was visiting Edward for lunch. She had confessed to me that Tyler had told her the whole story about our past years ago. She was appalled at his actions and almost broke up with him, but decided to give him a second chance. He is sort of on probation with her and I am sure she will take advantage as much as she can. I sort of feel sorry for Tyler on what she has planned, but then again no I don't feel bad for him. He deserves everything that Lauren is going to dish out. Maybe he will totally realize what he has done to Lilly and me. Maybe one day I can forgive him, but right now, not going to happen. All I want to do is concentrate on my life with Edward.
I was in the kitchen making dinner and waiting for Edward to come home. Lilly was playing with her Barbies for now. I heard the door open and keys thrown on table and knew Edward was home. He came right into the kitchen and gave me a kiss on my neck.
"I love coming home and seeing you in the kitchen. Every time I leave the hospital I have a big smile on my face knowing you and Lilly are here home waiting for me. It's the best feeling in the world to me."
"We love being here too in your home."
"Correction Bella, in our home."
"Our home."
I heard little pattered feet coming towards us.
"Edward, you are home."
I saw Edward turn around with a wicked grin on his face. He slowly turned around and looked at Lilly. Lilly's eyes got really big as Edward said,
"HMMM the tickle monster is here for Lilly Swan."
Before I knew it Lilly was running away from Edward and he was chasing her. I really couldn't holler at Lilly for running in the house with Edward chasing her. Maybe I should punish him later.. Hmm,interesting idea.
We all sat down to eat dinner and as usual, Lilly was talking a mile a minute. She was telling Edward all about school and how she couldn't wait for next Tuesday when she will be out of school. She wouldn't have to go back til after Thanksgiving. I saw a little wink between her and Edward and dismissed it.
As we were cleaning up, Lilly was watching Dora again and I saw her drifting to dreamland.
"Bella, I will go put Lilly to bed. You just relax and I will be back shortly."
"Thanks Edward."
I was sitting on the couch watching Revenge when Edward came back down.
"Hey."
"I missed you today, Bella. I was thinking about you all day and couldn't wait to get home."
I moved closer to him on the couch and said, "I missed you too."
"I can't wait until we can do this in our new room with the fireplace and all."
"Hmm, I totally agree."
"Edward, I need to discuss something with you about Lilly. You are going to adopt her soon and you need to be involved in the decisions. My mom wants to meet Lilly officially as her grandmother. What do you think?"
When I looked up at him I saw some tears in his eyes that surprised me, but then that big crooked smile appeared and I knew he was happy that I was including him.
"Bella, it means the world to me that you are including me in decisions about Lilly. Jenks told me the other day that the paperwork is almost finished. I think it's time that we explained things to Lilly about your mom and let them meet. They are only going to be here through the holidays and they need sometime together. "
"I was thinking the same thing, but I really needed your opinion. I feel like I have taken too long to get to this point and I am cutting Lilly's time with her grandmother ."
"Bella, you needed this time to come to grips with everything. I am so glad you are calling her Mom now. Why don't we explain things to Lilly after breakfast tomorrow and then invite Phil and Renee over for dinner?"
"That's a good idea Dr Cullen. Now, what I need from my doctor right now is for him to kiss me."
I was crawling onto his lap as I was saying that. He didn't wait that long before he grabbed my face and started kissing me passionately. All of a sudden he stood up and I had my legs wrapped around his waist and we went up to our room.
Once we got up to our room, he put my feet down on the floor and we started taking each others clothes off. When he saw my sexy, red lace bra and pantie set, his eyes grew wide.
"So, Miss swan were you dressing for someone particular this morning?"
"Only you Edward, hoping we would be able to have some fun tonight."
He then looked really sad saying, "Bella, I know I have been very busy lately and we haven't had a lot of time for each other, but I promise to make it up to you."
"Its okay, Edward, we both has been busy. Let's just concentrate on us right now."
He was hovering over me and we were touching each other everywhere we could reach. He was licking and sucking my breasts as I was playing with his very prominent erection. We were moaning and groaning from the feelings we had. I never in my dreams thought I would be here with Edward when I decided to come back home. I feel so completely in love with him, and I know I could never live without him, especially now. I can't wait to break the news to him but I have to get proof first.
"Edward, I need you now."
He didn't wait as he rubbed his beautiful cock in my juices and enter into me very slowly. It feels like heaven every time he is inside of me. As we were joined together, we were looking into each other eyes and all I could see was the love he had for me. I felt tears going down my cheeks.
"Don't cry Bella, I just love you so much. I feel so blissfully complete when I am with you. I just can't explain it any better than that. I never want to let you go, ever."
"I feel the same way Edward. I never thought I would get my dreams to come true when I came back to Forks. You are everything to me, and I feel like I'm in heaven being with you."
"No going to heaven yet baby, I have so many experiences I need to experience with you yet."
As we were thrusting together I felt myself get ready to come and I saw it in Edward's face too. Before I knew it, we were coming so hard and it felt so amazing. We collapsed down together holding each other as if we were afraid to let go.
"Bella, why are you crying?"
"God, I don't know, all I know is that I am so blissfully happy with you. I never thought I would be here with you when I decided to come back to forks. It was the best decision of my life even though I had to deal with Tyler."
"I am so glad you came back too, I have waited for you for too long. You and Lilly are my life now."
We held each other falling asleep as if we would never want to let go. I slept so peacefully until I felt bouncing on the bed. I opened my eyes and saw my wonderful daughter bouncing on our bed. I couldn't do anything because I knew I was naked under the sheets.
"Okay miss monkey jumping on the bed, let's give mommy some time to wake up. Let's go downstairs and make breakfast."
I noticed when Edward got out of bed he had pajama pants on and I wondered when he did that. As they were walking out, Edward turned his head and winked at me. I shook my head at my sexy, fuckhot boyfriend of mine, who I can't wait until he is my fiance. Stupid Bella you should have said yes before.
EPOV
"Okay, Lilly what are we going to make for breakfast?"
"Pancakes daddy!"
The first time Lilly decided she wanted to call me daddy really surprised me. She loves saying it and knows I am not really her dad yet, but she feels I am.
"Daddy, are we still giving mommy present at Thanksgiving?"
"Shh, it's a surprise remember Lilly. Yes, we are still giving mommy a present at Thanksgiving."
"I am so excited for that day to come. Mommy needs nice surprises, she was so sad when we were at Phoenix."
"I know sweetie, I want to make Mommy happy, and I just thought it would be nice for us to surprise her together."
"Okay."
We worked together to make pancakes for when Bella came downstairs.
When we were done, I saw Bella come downstairs and she looked so beautiful. I can't wait until she is my wife.
BPOV
I finished showering and I could hear them talking and making breakfast. I was so lucky I have Edward in my life, not just for me but for Lilly too.
I went downstairs and they had made pancakes, probably at Lilly's request. I sat down and they brought the food to the table.
"Wow, this is a treat from my two favorite people in the whole world."
Lilly giggled and Edward smiled. We all ate our breakfast and I was getting nervous about our talk with Lilly. Edward sensed my nervousness and looked at me and smiled. After we finished eating we cleaned up and Lilly was watching her cartoons.
"Lilly, Edward and I have something to talk to you about,so we are going to turn the TV off for now."
"Daddy."
"What?"
"You said Edward, but he is my daddy."
I smiled and said, "That's right baby, sorry about that."
We all sat on the couch and Edward took Lilly and sat her on his lap. I turned my body so I was facing them and brought my knees up so I could hug them.
"Well, you remember when we talked about my mommy and how she made me sad when I was little."
Lilly nodded so I guess I could find the strength to continue.
"When I was little, my mom left me and grandpa Charlie. We really didn't know why, because she wouldn't contact us. She recently found us and spoke with grandpa Charlie about visiting. She explained that when she left she had intentions on coming back but she was very sick. It took her a long time to get better and then she needed to deal with the guilt over leaving me. At first I was really mad at her and didn't even want to talk with her. I know in my heart that wasn't the right thing to do because we should always give people a chance to explain. We are becoming very close again and I would love you to meet your grandmother and her husband Phil."
"Did grandpa Charlie and her get a divorce?"
"How do you know about divorces?"
"Some kids in school talk about their parents divorces."
"Oh I see, well yes they did. Grandpa has Sue now."
"Yeah, I know. She is great and wuvs him."
We laughed and giggled.
"So, do you mind if they come over for dinner tonight?"
"Yeah, they can come and I can show them my room."
"Is it clean?"
She lowered her head.
"I guess you need to clean it up before tonight then."
"Okay, Mommy."
She got up off Edward's lap and went to go upstairs and stopped.
"Mommy, will you ever leave me?"
"No Lilly never. Come see me, baby."
She climbed in my lap and looked at me.
"Baby, I will never, ever leave you and daddy. You are my world and I can't live without either of you. You never have to worry about that, okay."
She nodded and hugged me and I felt tears falling.
"I love you Lilly Swan."
"Love you too mommy."
She got off my lap and went up the stairs to her room. I felt Edward pull me on his lap and I just cried.
After the heavy talk we just decided to lay around for the day. I had some grading to do and Edward had some research to look up on an upcoming surgery.
"Edward."
"Hmm."
"Would you be able to have time to run to the bakery for dessert for tonight?"
"Sure, I am finishing up here. I'll go and get Lilly, and we will go together. It will give you some time to get a bath before our company."
"That sounds like a good idea. Thank you so much, I don't know what I did without you."
He kissed me for a bit and then left to get Lilly ready. I went upstairs to start my bath and when I just got in, there was a knock on the door.
"Baby."
"Yes Edward."
"I was thinking maybe I should just run down to Italian place and get a pan of their lasagna and a big container of salad. We can heat it up later before they get here. I will pick up some rolls at bakery also."
"Oh Edward that's sounds great. Thanks baby for making this as easy on me as possible."
"I love you Bella, more than anything."
"Love you too."
He left and I finished relaxing in my bath. I just hope everything went well tonight.
I finished with my bath and got dressed for tonight. I still had some things to finish up in the house. I checked Lilly's room and she did a decent job, I just had to fix her bed a little.
When I got downstairs I cleaned up my school stuff and little things hanging around. I made a cup of coffee from our new keurig machine. I decided to cut up some vegetables and make ranch dip for us to munch on.
I heard the door open and Lilly and Edward coming in. Edward brought everything in kitchen.
"Hey, babe, feel better."
"Much thank you."
"Well, the restaurant warmed the pan of lasagna so we just have to keep warm in oven. They should be here soon anyway."
The doorbell rang and Edward went to get it. They were talking as they were coming in to living room. I put the veggie tray on table and Lilly was clinging to my leg.
My mom came over to give me a hug and whispered 'thank you' in my ear.
"Mom, I want you to meet Lilly, Lilly this is your grandma Renee."
My mom crouched down to Lilly and said,
"It is such a pleasure to meet you, I have waited a long time for this."
Lilly smiled but still clung to me.
"Hi"
"Are u really my grandma Renee?"
"Yes I am."
"You made my mommy sad. I don't like it when she is sad."
" Lilly that's not nice," said Bella
"Sorry mommy."
"Bella its okay. Lilly is right I did make you sad, but Lilly I am so sorry about that. I promise to never ever do that again."
"Pinky promise", Lilly said putting our her pinky.
My mom smiled and put out her pinky and linked it with Lilly.
"Pinky promise."
They then hugged and laughed and everything was good in Lilly's world. She then proceeded to take my mom and Phil's hand and dragged them upstairs to her room talking a mile a minute.
I looked at Edward and smiled.
"That went good."
He came over to me and hugged me.
The rest of the evening went great. Lilly was stumped on what to call Phil. She decided on Gramps Phil.
I'm not sure how pleased he was.
The guys doing the room was coming back Sunday so we couldn't do anything. Renee and Phil wanted to take Lilly out for the day. That gave Edward and I some quiet time.
I was writing down my menu for Thanksgiving and Esme was coming over later to see what she could help with.
As we were discussing the menu, the guys told us they were all done. The room looked great. They put up all our bookcases, flat screen led TV was up on wall. All furniture was put where we wanted it. I hugged Esme. And Edward and told them it was just what I wanted.
"Baby what's wrong." I must have been crying.
"Nothing Edward, everything in my life is perfect right now."
My Dr appt tomorrow would clarify some things for me hopefully.
Edward took Lilly to school the next day so I could make my appt. I told Edward it was just a routine checkup.
After my Dr appt I went into work. The kids were rambunctious due to the holiday coming up. Tomorrow was last day before Thanksgiving mini vacation. We talked about the book we were reading and had a good discussion. I told them over their holiday I wanted them to write a short essay on which character they admire the most. I told them it needs to be more than a couple of paragraphs and in depth.
Rose was picking up Lilly so I could go to grocery store. I wanted to get started on some prepping.
I started making pies on Tuesday night when Esme came over to help. I wanted so much to tell her but I couldn't til I told Edward. I was going to surprise him at Thanksgiving dinner.
Before I knew it, Thanksgiving was here. I have been so busy prepping for the holiday dinner, I didn't get to enjoy our new room. The guys were watching the games in there today.
Edward and Lilly was acting strange. He seemed very nervous and I didn't have time to figure it out. I had enough nervous energy on my own.
Renee and Lilly were really hitting it off and I was really glad for that. My mom and I were getting closer too and I felt more loved and complete.
We put down all the food on table while everyone was gathering around.
Carlisle got up with his glass of wine,
"I am so happy this year because not only for we have the whole family here, we also have extended family here also. Renee,Phil,Charlie,Sue and especially Bella and Lilly,who have brought back the life in my son's eyes. We are forever grateful for that. I wish to toast everyone at this table a long and healthy life forever. We have a tradition of going around table and saying what we are thankful for and I guess my speech is what I am thankful for."
We proceeded around the table with everyone doing the same thing. When it was Lilly's turn she said
"I am thankful my mommy not sad anymore and that I love her and Edward lots."
Edward and I just looked at each other with tears in our eyes. Now Edward turn.
"Bella you are my lifesaver. I am so glad you came into my life. I love you so much and I want to love you forever and ever."
He winked at Lilly and she got up and went next to him.
"Lilly and I have a surprise for you."
Edward went in his pocket and brought out a square box
Then they said together
"We love you, will you marry us."
I was so stunned that they did this together and I heard everyone gasp in the background.
"Yes Edward and Lilly I would love to marry you."
"Mommy silly you marry Edward not me."
I hugged them both and Edward was so happy he picked me up and swung me around.
When he put me down I told him I had a surprise for him too.
I picked up the gift bag I had by my chair and handed it to Edward.
When he lifted his gift out, it was a onesie that had 'I love my daddy' on it. He looked at me and I nodded and he picked me up again and swung me around.
"Edward I know you are very happy but I may get sick with all this swinging." He put me down right away and kissed me with everything he had.
"I love you so much, future Mrs Cullen."
I love you too my fiancée.
Everyone clapped and we sat down to eat happy as anything.
Of course Emmett was just excited we were finally eating.
When I decided to come home for good I never in my life thought I would find my happily ever after. Edward is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I can't wait to live with him forever.
Okay guys there you have it. I am not sure if I am going to end it there or do an epilogue. What does everyone want. Did I do it justice and cover everything. My husband is currently very ill in the hospital so it maybe a while before I do the epi.
Thanks for all your support!
