Chapter Twenty-Four, Pregnant Women Unite!
BPOV
"Butt out, Edward," My mother yelled. "I wasn't talking to you!" Renée walked straight over to us and I could see that she had, had at least two glasses of alcohol. I could tell.
"Please, leave me alone right now, Renée," I cried. Stupid hormones.
"I am your mother and you will call me that!" She screamed.
"Leave this house now!" Edward instructed. "I will have someone come get you if I have to." The threat did nothing. My mother kept advancing on us. She was like a shark and we were the people on the small inflatable life raft.
"No need," Charlie, my amazing father said from the doorway. Who is ironically a fisherman. "Renée, drop the bottle that you are hiding behind your back and step away from my daughter."
"Bite me, Charlie! I am through with you and all your bossing me around!" she screamed. Perfect, my parents had started fighting again.
"Edward, can you see if Phil is still here so she can get a ride to a hospital?" my dad asked spitting out Phil's name while peering around my mother.
"No problem," Edward replied pulling out his phone. Oren woke up due to the screaming and started to join in.
"Dad, please get her out," I pleaded.
"No problem, sweet pea," He smiled, as he grabbed Renée's arm and gently pulled her to the door and pushed her out. He shut the door while he was still inside and locked it tight. She was still outside the door pounding but that was much better than having her in the room. I carefully stood up in my robe and moved to get Oren.
"One of the staff is going to get her away from the door and I talked to Phil who said he would drag her to the hospital," Edward said, moving from the bed to where I was standing by the crib. "Go back to bed and eat some food, I can take care of Oren."
"How did the new baby come about?" Charlie asked. "Don't go into the actual making, mind you, I do know how that happens."
"Once again we had a minor accident in the birth control department," I replied. I settled into the big bed and smiled at the plate of food I had brought with me. It wasn't everyday I got bananas foster.
"Things just happened, we didn't mean to have another baby so soon," Edward said. He moved to sit on the couch with a very sleepy Oren in his arms. Charlie sat next to him and reached for Oren.
"Trust me, if there is one thing I can do it's getting a baby to fall asleep," Charlie smiled to Edward. "That one liked to stay up all night." He said motioning toward me.
"Very funny, daddy," I said sarcastically through my mouthful of food.
"You two need to be more careful," Charlie instructed. "I don't want to be the man with the obscene amount of grandkids."
"And we don't want to be the parents with the insane amount of kids," Edward added. Shockingly Oren was already asleep snuggled up in my fathers arm. Charlie simply smiled at me and stood up to put Oren in the crib.
"Go to sleep and no funny business!" He said, before exiting the room.
"That was interesting," Edward said with wide eyes.
"Very," I added. "Edward, thanks for helping to get rid of my crazy mother."
"That's what I am here for. After all I have to protect my future bride. Even more important I have to love you, I don't think I could love you anymore than I do now. Too bad I feel that everyday and then the next day my love grows."
"I feel the same way, I just don't use that many words," I laughed.
"It's good to know that after all of the trouble I caused earlier you don't want to hit me," Edward joked.
"I still want to hit you I am just waiting for the right moment," I smiled wickedly. My hand drifted to Edward's hip where I pulled his dress shirt out from his fancy pants. The tips of my nails barely tickled him and Edward had a lovely reaction a tiny little moan.
"Don't start things we can't finish," He pleaded.
"I wasn't starting anything," I said innocently. "I just tickled my fiancé a little. Plus I need my sleep and that would make it very hard to sleep."
"And your dad forbid it, tonight," Edward laughed.
"If we were going to, my response to that would be, 'It's not his house so we don't need to follow his rules'." Edward and I laughed as loudly as we dared.
"I think I need a cold shower," Edward commented, before getting off the bed and heading into the bathroom.
"I have wanted to revisit your Jacuzzi tub for awhile now. I want to soak the stress away!" Edward gave me a pleading look when I entered the bathroom. I guess I was torturing him more than I expected. I really wanted a bath though. "Mr. Naked-butt, could you get me my book?"
"If I join you, you won't need a book," Edward smiled hopefully.
"Maybe I want you to join." My wicked smiled forced Edward to advance on me. "We should steal some bath toys and play pirates!"
"Bella," Edward said as a warning. "Bella?" My head started to spin and not in any sexual way. I was very dizzy so I quickly sat on the floor cross legged with my head bowed slightly. Edward came and sat behind me, cradling me. "Are you okay, Bella?"
"Dizzy."
"I'm calling my dad," Edward warned. Perfect, his dad spent more time treating me as a patient than I cared for.
"Don't," I groaned. "Just take me to bed and I will be fine."
Minutes later I was in bed and Edward had called his dad. It would have been nice if he had listened to me. His dad told me to take some iron supplements and that he would do more in the morning. At least that Edward was going to let me sleep.
My Edward let me sleep through the night. Every time Oren would wake up he would take him. That was very nice. My dreams were surprisingly calm and I really enjoyed it. It was a peaceful haven in my mind. Waking up is always a challenge. It's not as hard when there is a screaming kid though.
"Hi, baby boy," I cooed while I stretched across the bed. Edward was lying on the other side of the bed propped on his side. Oren was between us rolling and crawling around. In true baby fashion Oren made his way over to me and face planted right into my chest. He is surely a boob man.
"Ma," Oren sighed into me.
"That's right, sweet one," I smiled, while leaning down to kiss his head. I didn't feel like moving quite yet so I just slid my night shirt so he could eat. Edward just shook his head and moved closer to us. "I am supporting two people you know. So if I don't want to be proper about feeding them you can't give me funny looks!"
"I wasn't giving you funny looks," He laughed. "I was admiring you."
"That I can deal with." Edward leaned down and kissed me sweetly on the lips. They lingered wantonly but Oren was between us. We broke the kiss and Edward wrapped his arm around Oren and me.
"What should we do today? Did you want to go home already?"
"I want to take Oren swimming in your parents' pool. The one way out back," I smiled.
"That sounds fun. I think Oren would like it." Edward chuckled. Oren decided he was done and started laughing between us. I put my silicon nursing pad back in place and covered myself again.
"Can you keep him? I need to pee like a pregnant woman," I laughed. "Maybe I am!"
"Possibly," Edward joked. "Don't take too long. Emmett is probably waiting in the kitchen for us. You know how much he likes food. Unless Rose has morning sickness in the morning. You are the afternoon sickness queen." I moved off the bed simply shaking my head at him and went into the bathroom. When I emerged I had a toothbrush hanging out of my mouth.
"She is far enough along that she probably isn't getting sick anymore," I said through a mouthful of toothpaste.
"Good to know," he laughed. A few minutes later I was dressed in simple clothes. We left Oren in his sleeper and Edward pulled on a shirt. He was much more comfortable than I was here. But he grew up here.
Emmett was waiting just like Edward had said. I laughed at the sight of Rosalie and her plateful of biscuits and gravy. It was almost the size of Emmett's. We ate together with Alice and Jasper and talked about going swimming. Before I had a chance to tell Alice I had forgotten my suit she told me that she put one in the closet last time she visited. She had far too much fun hiding things in with my clothes.
We went back to Edward's room and I put Oren into his little swimming diaper with swim trunks on top of it. Edward changed into his swim trunks and I put my body into the suit Alice picked. It wasn't a maternity suit and for that I was grateful. I wasn't that big in fact I could still wear my clothes…for the most part. My skinny pants hadn't fit in weeks. I didn't know it was because there was something living in me. The suit was a brown tankini that covered my entire stomach. It was brown with a teal flower pattern with white swirly leaves.
Edward was continually worried about me since he found out about the new baby. He gave me a speech about staying in the shallow end and not diving into the pool. Spoil sport. In an attempt to appease the loving man I let him steal a golf cart from the staff and drive us out to the pool that was hidden in the woods.
When we got there I had to laugh at the other golf cart waiting just outside the entry to the wooded path. "I take it Emmett is just as protective as you are," I laughed to Edward.
"I only want what's best for my family," Edward smiled crookedly back.
When we walked into the open area I saw the spectacular waterfall splashing into the bright pool. The air smelt of chlorine and Oren scrunched his nose a little when it hit him. Then I saw something I didn't need to. Emmett had Rosalie in the deeper area so very little of her body was showing. She was pressed against the pool wall and they were surly enjoying kissing.
"Payback stinks, doesn't it Emmett?" Edward yelled, right before I saw a flash. Apparently Edward had hidden a weatherproof disposable camera in the bushes.
"Oh you little…" Emmett started with his face turning red.
"Do you know how long I have had that camera there waiting for a moment like this?" Edward laughed.
"She's pregnant, Edward," I said with my temper flaring slightly.
"Pregnant women stick together, little brother," Rosalie chuckled.
"Do you remember what I was like during my pregnancy? You seemed to enjoy it," I laughed. Edward's face had a hint of fear as he went over to a trash bin and dropped the camera in it. No man would want to have two pregnant women mad at them.
"Eddie got in trouble!" Emmett yelled in victory. "All is right with the world!"
Oren started to wiggle in my arms while looking at the water. If he enjoyed this as much as he enjoyed bath time it would be a good day.
Author's note:
Hey peoples! So as you could tell from the top this chapter is dedicated to be my valentine! Now lets all sing her a birthday song;
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday dear be my valentine,
Happy birthday to you!
YAY!
So as far as I am concerned things are good. Life is happy right now. I played dress up last night! Who ever heard of a twenty year old who likes to dress up for no reason other than to feel pretty? I am a strange cookie.
Thank you,
Hellopants
P.S. The cookie chat room is open to any fan invited or not. My only suggestion is that if you are young you act it. I don't like hearing twelve year olds talk about sex. I have raised other peoples' children and have been a nanny. I really hate to see girls grow up too fast. So young girls just watch what you talk about to me. I don't want to go all mom like on your butt.
