AUTHOR NOTE: I am alive! I know I have been gone for a week, and that is a long time considering I usually do five updates a week. I also realize that I never uploaded that chapter that I said I was going to upload last Friday or Saturday.

My personal life has been very crazy this week and I had some really important things to attend to. Trust me when I say that it was top priority!

Change in updates: I will have to scale the updates down some. I will now upload three chapters a week. It will most likely be Monday, Wednesday, Friday, but could change. As of now, count on three updates a week.

THis chapter is short, but hey it's better than nothing.

CHAPTER 25:

BPOV

Married life…..Hmmmm….. I really didn't expect much to change seeing as Edward and I already lived together and had pledged our loyalty to each other. The only thing that changed was now we were having sex. And damn is was good sex.

I was nervous on our wedding night, since I have basically hardly any sexual experience.

But Edward and I have been making up for it. The past three days we have been mind blowing! Since we had a toddler roaming around, I was worried how an at-home honeymoon was going to work. We have made it work though. First thing in the morning: sex. Liam's nap time: sex. After Liam goes to bed: sex, lots and lots of sex. I may be addicted, but Edward doesn't seem to mind.

Liam was down for his nap and I was going to pounce Edward. He was in his office doing some work and preparing for the introduction to the families that was now four days away. I knocked and heard a "come in."

I sauntered in with a mischievous smile playing on my lips. Edward caught sight of it and smirked. He knew what I wanted. I straddled him on his office chair, but before the fun could begin, Edward had other ideas.

"Bella, before we start ripping each other's clothes off, there is something I need to talk to you about."

I started to kiss his neck, "I'm sure it can wait." I said breathlessly in his ear.

I could feel Edward harden underneath me. "Bella, I have actually been trying to talk you about it for the past three days, but every time we are alone you seduce me."

I faked a pout. "Are you saying you haven't been enjoying yourself?"

Edward laughed, "No, I have been enjoying myself, very much so, but part of what I needed to talk to you about is your wedding gift."

That got my attention since we I thought we weren't going to exchange gifts.

Edward gently removed me from off of his lap and got up himself. He went to a file cabinet and came back to his desk with an envelope and a small box.

"I hope you don't think that I had forgotten a previous conversation we had." he said while handing me the file.

Inside were adoption papers along with the papers to change Liam's name. Edward had said he wanted to adopt Liam and I had been surprised but happy when he first told me during a previous conversation. We had also discussed changing Liam's last name and having Swan as his middle name since when he was born I didn't give him a middle name.

I stared at the paper for a moment.

William Swan Cullen

I flipped back to the other papers. Edward was now legally Liam's dad. I fought the tears of joy that threatened to over spill.

"Thank you Edward." I flung my arms around him in a body consuming hug.

"There is more." he said.

I pulled back and gave him look indicating I didn't know what else there was more to give.

He handed me the small box that he had also taken out of the file cabinet. I opened it and inside was a pocket watch. It was beautiful and I am pretty sure real gold. Edward flipped it over and on the back was inscribed.

To William,

Love Dad

The tears at this point spilled over. Edward gently wiped them away and spoke.

"Liam is too young now to appreciate the gift, but-"

I cut him off with a kiss.

"Thank you/" I breathed out once we finally parted.

"I love you both so much." He said before crushing his lips against mine.

Our movements became frantic. We tore at each other clothes as our lips were on each other's bodies. Soon nothing separated us and felt Edward inside me.

Bliss. It was the only word I could think of to describe what I was feeling. The past few days Edward and I had lived in the moment. The sex was also helping with my mood. After our session in Edward's office, we did another round in the shower not even an hour later.

The phone ringing broke me out of tranquility. Stephan's name lit up on the screen.

"Hello"

"Hello, Bella?"

"Yes it's me."

"Are we still resuming training today?" he asked

Shit. I forgot about that I was supposed to meet Stephan today. I had taken a few days off to enjoy being with Edward.

"Uh.. Yeah, Sorry, I got caught up with something." Yeah Edward's cock

"Okay. I'm in the training room so come down whenever you are ready.

"Okay. See you in about 10 minutes." and I hung up.

I found Edward and explained that I needed to go train. He was more than happy to watch Liam and take a break from work. I made my way downstairs and into the training room.

We jumped right into training and by a half an hour into it I was sore. Maybe taking a few days off wasn't such a good idea. Or maybe I was also sore since I have been having sex marathons with Edward. Stephan noticed when I winced in pain when getting off the floor.

"You okay? I didn't hurt you did I?" He asked worried.

"No."

"Are you sure? You looked like you were in pain."

"I'm just sore." I shrugged.

"See it is my fault. I'm working you too hard today, especially with you having a break." Since when did he worry about working me too hard?

"Trust me you're not the reason I am sore, but if you want someone to blame you can thank Edward." I said with a laugh.

But Stephan wasn't laughing. He actually seemed a little upset or maybe even mad.

"Stephan, you okay?" I asked cautiously.

"Did he force himself on you?" What the fuck.

"NO!" I practically shrieked, "It was consensual. Trust me he didn't force me to do anything." I said trying to ease the tension.

"So you just gave it up easily? Just like that?" He was angry. Why was he upset?

"I am married! And my sex life isn't any of your business anyway." I spat.

And with that I got my stuff and left. My heart was racing a million miles an hour when I went back to the Edward. A guard didn't escort me down today and for that I was grateful. They would have known something was wrong and would have told Edward. Why the hell did Stephan give a damn about my sex life? I knew I needed to tell Edward, but with the introductions to the families being this week I didn't want to stress him out. Also there was the issue the Volturi. Damn it! Everything that had been previously stressing me out was now plaguing my mind. I was in such a good mood and Stephan ruined it! I knew I needed to tell Edward what happened with Stephan, but I wasn't sure when or how.
