Therapy…
We've been in therapy for two months. We've made wonderful progress.
Edward is set to move back home this week. I'm so ready for him.
We've come to realize we both had forms of Post-Partum Depression. I've been put on medication from my personal therapist and Edward has learned how to balance home and work, not working 95% of the time.
We've yet to make love, but our joint therapist told us when Edward moves back in that we need to have a romantic evening at home, the night he comes home, minus the children, Esme and Carlisle are keeping them and we need to do this once a month at least, a romantic dinner out, dancing, weekends away, whatever it is, at least once a month and not to forget about each other during the other days, small touches, kisses, looks, remind each other how much we love each other every day.
"Edward, are you ready to go home?" our therapist asked.
"Yes! Very much. I want to be under the same roof as my babies and my wife. I can't describe how much I miss being there for them all the time." He sighed and tears sprang from his eyes.
I grabbed his hands and turned towards him. "We miss you so much too." I leaned forward and kissed him.
"Bella, I can tell you're ready. Are you prepared to work on this, just the 2 of you?" the therapist asked.
"Yes! We've been doing that already. I've been going to visit him at work, we talk on the phone and discuss changes we've made and will continue to make." I smiled.
"Good, good. Well, I'm happy to tell you my work is done. I would like to see you both in two months, just for an update and then we'll go to six months and a year. After that, you shouldn't need me anymore, you'll both still meet with your personal therapists as determined by them. Should you two ever need me, I'm just a phone call away." She smiled and finished up a few questions before letting us go.
"Bella, I can't wait for Friday. If I wasn't working for Steve, I'd be home tonight." Edward sighed.
"Yeah, but this is something you promised months ago and he covered for you when I had the babies, you can repay him with him having his first." I kissed his cheek.
"I know this isn't going to be a complete cake walk Bella, but I'm willing to work my ass off to keep my family intact and to ensure these never come off again!" he kissed my rings.
"Me too Edward, me too." I gave him a tight squeeze.
"OK, I've got to go, time to shower and grab a quick meal." He kissed me softly.
"Do you want me to being breakfast in the morning? The kids are going to the zoo with your parents tomorrow." I said.
"Sounds great. Bring extras, you know I work with some greedy pigs." He laughed.
"You got it hubby." I laughed.
"OK wifey." He smiled cheeseily.
We kissed softly one more time and walked to our respective vehicles. Glancing at each other one last time before driving away.
