Living a Lie
Chapter 24
BPOV
Edward kneeled down next to me and held my hair back. I threw up a few times and coughed.
"What's wrong with me?" I asked when I was finished.
"Nothing's wrong with you sweetie. You're pregnant; the baby is just developing faster than normal. We're going to take you to see Carlisle as soon as we get home. We're going to leave today."
"I don't want to be the reason we leave though, we just got here."
"Bella, we can always go on another honeymoon. You and this baby are all that matters."
"Let's go get our stuff," I said, feeling bad that I was the reason for us leaving. Edward helped me up. He went over to our stuff and we conveniently weren't unpacked.
Edward and I gathered our luggage and headed out to the Volvo. He helped me into the car and then got in his side and started driving.
"How are you feeling?" he asked.
"Fine." I didn't know if that was completely true or not. To be honest I was terrified that something was wrong with me or the baby.
"You migt want to call your mom," Edward said handing me his phone. I opened it and dialed my mom's number.
"Hello?" she answered.
"Hi mom, I replied.
"Aren't you supposed to be on your honeymoon, Bella?"
"We're coming home early because we need to see Carlisle."
"Bella, what is wrong?" she asked getting worried.
"We don't know. I am already showing and I'm only about four weeks along. Also my morning sickness is getting really bad."
"Bella, how close are you to Forks?"
"About two hours away."
"Go straight to the hospital. Don't come home first. I will meet you there."
"Okay, I love you mom."
"I love you too, baby." I hung up after that. I handed Edward his phone.
"What did she say?" Edward asked.
"She wants us to go straight to the hospital and she will meet us there."
"Alright." Edward looked like he had a lot going through his mind. I didn't ask him about it so he didn't get stressed.
I put my iPod in and put the playlist on shuffle. I listened to about half the songs before we got to the hospital.
Edward got out and helped me out of my side.
We walked into the hospital and were met by my mom and Carlisle talking. They saw us and came over to greet us. After a short greeting, Carlisle took us to a room.
"Alright, Bells, let's see what's going on." Carlisle started an ultra sound. He squirted some gel on my stomach. He put the machine on my little bump and looked at the screen.
"See there," Carlisle said and pointed at a section on the screen. "That is your baby. I had talked to your mother and she said that the same thing happened to her when she was pregnant with you. So this is perfectly normal. I could tell you the gender if you would like."
"Sure," I said.
"Alright then, you are having a baby girl. Congrats." Carlisle said handing me a towel to wipe my stomach off. "I want to see you back here in about six weeks. You're due date is going to change now. You are twice as far as you should be so I am going to say that your due date should be October thirty first."
"That soon?" I asked shocked. It was already almost July.
"Bells, you have to remember that you are nearly twice as far into the pregnancy than you really should be."
I didn't say anything after that. I had too much on my mind.
Edward and I thanked Carlisle and left for our apartment.
When we got to the apartment complex Edward and I went to my old apartment to get my things to move into Edward's. When we walked in we saw that there were boxes everywhere.
"Is this all mine?" I asked.
"No, some of it is Jasper's and Emmett's," Rose said as she came to see me. She gave me a hug and pulled away. She looked at my stomach and then looked me in the eyes.
"I am not as far along as I look," I assured her.
"How far along are you really?"
"About four weeks."
"Wow, Bells, you shouldn't be showing that much yet."
"I know. This happened to my mom when she was pregnant with me too."
"Let me help you get your things," Rose offered.
"Thanks." All three of us grabbed a box. Edward made sure I didn't carry a heavy one. Once we got all of my boxes into Edward's apartment we rested.
"When Alice gets home would you like to go shopping for the baby?" Rose asked getting excited.
"Sure," I said not wanting to disappoint her.
"Yay!" she squealed. "Do you know the gender?"
"Yes, it's a girl." I said with a smile. I had always wanted a little girl.
"Awe, she is going to be so spoiled! And I don't mean by Alice or me. I can tell that Edward is going to spoil her like no other. Whatever the baby wants, she will probably get with Edward around," Rose laughed.
After another half hour of aimless conversation Alice got home with Emmett and Jasper. They were each carrying two boxes. We went over and helped. Emmett gave me the job of keeping the door open because he didn't want me to lift anything.
"Emmett, why won't you let me help?" I asked getting angry.
"Bella, I don't want anything to happen to my nephew," Emmett said guessing the gender of the baby.
"What makes you so certain that the baby is a boy?" I asked.
"Because that is what I want it to be," he said sounding extremely confident.
"Em, I am not having a boy. We figured out today that I am having a girl."
"You're not far enough along to know the gender yet," Emmett said confused.
"I am twice as far along as I'm supposed to be. Mom said that the same thing happened to her when she was pregnant with me."
"So I am going to have a niece?"
"Yeah," I said and Emmett's smile grew.
"Alright, Bella, Alice, let's go shopping for our niece," Rose said with a smile. The three of us left for the mall. We took Alice's Porsche.
"So, Bella, all four of us were thinking that we could all move into a bigger house so we could help with the baby." Alice said after being in the car for about two minutes.
"Alice, you know that is not necessary. Edward nad I are only across the hall."
"I know but I still want you to live with us. I will miss staying up late with you and all the fun we had."
"I'll talk to Edward about it." I said giving up. It would be nice to have some help with the baby.
"Thank you Bells!" Alice said excitedly.
The rest of the car ride I learned that Emmett and Jasper were moving in with Rose and Alice. When we got to the mall we got out and headed straight to the baby store. Immediately they started to everything pink and purple. After about an hour they had filled that cart with clothes.
Alice wouldn't let me convince her to putting some of the clothes back. I think that Alice picked out enough clothes to last the baby for a year.
"Alice put some of the clothes back," I said for the tenth time.
"Bella, she is my niece and I want to spoil her."
"Fine, but you have to five all of this to me for my baby shower present. No earlier." I wasn't giving up too easy.
"Fine," Alice said. My jaw dropped. I couldn't believe that Alice had actually given into my demand.
We checked out and Alice had about five huge bags filled with clothes and accessories.
We drove home and took the bags up to mine and Edward's apartment. We opened the door and walked in. when Edward saw Alice's bags his eyes went wide. I held my hands up to let him know that it wasn't my fault.
"Alice, this baby isn't due for another four months and you are already spoiling it?" he asked astonished.
"Don't tell me I can't spoil my niece," she scolded. Edward just shook his head and laughed.
I went over and to the couch and laid down. Edward picked upmy legs and sat under them.
"Your feet are swollen, baby," Edward pointed out. I looked at my feet and wiggled my toes.
"They feel fine, though."
Soon after talking for a while Alice and Rose left.
"Alice wants us to get a huge house so all six of us can live together," I stated after a few moments of silence.
"Why is that?" he asked.
"They want to help with the baby and Alice and Rose don't want m to move you and live with you," I laughed.
"That sounds like a good idea. We could use all the help we can get with the baby. And I think it would be good to live with our babysitters," Edward laughed at his last statement. I picked up my phone and texted Alice.
Bella: when are we looking for a house?"
Alice: asap
Bella. Okay. Ilu
Alice: ilu2
"Alright, so Alice is probably super excited now," I laughed.
"I think so too," he chuckled.
Edward turned on the television and there was a program about adopting children in Africa playing. Edward started rubbing my feet. Knots that I didn't even know were there started undoing and my feet felt like there was less pressure on them.
Edward got up after a little while and went into the kitchen.
"Would you like anything?" he called.
"A glass of water please," I called back.
Edward came back with a glass of water and an apple. He handed me the water and sat under my legs again. I rested my hand on my stomach. I felt a little kick and gasped.
"What is it? What's wrong?" he asked.
"The baby is kicking," I said as I grabbed his hand and rested it on my stomach. He felt her kicking.
"She is kicking already?" he asked.
"She just started today; she kicks more when you talk. I think she likes your voice." Edward smiled at my comment. I looked at the clock. It was 10:30 p.m.
"I'm going to bed," I announced.
"I'll join you," Edward said.
We went and lay in bed. Edward held me in his arms and I lay my on his neck. Edward hummed the melody to Have I Told You Lately. I slowly drifted to sleep.
When I awoke the next morning Edward still had me in his arms. He was still asleep. I wiggled my way out of his grasp and got out of bed. I changed my clothes and checked my phone. I had two missed calls and five texts. All of these were from Alice. In every single text, she was telling me to wake up so we could go shopping for apartments. I texted Alice back, finally.
Bella: hey, sorry I just woke up.
Alice: it's about time! all six of us need to head out.
Bella: Edward is still sleeping. I don't want to wake him up.
Alice: I'm coming over. I'll wake him up.
Bella: no, I'll do it. See you in about an hour.
Alice: okay.
I went into our room and sat on the bed. I leaned over and kissed Edward.
"Edward," I called sweetly. "C'mon, time to wake up." He rolled over, grabbed me and pulled me on top of him. "Edward!" I laughed.
"I love you," he laughed.
"I love you too but you have to get up. All six of us are going house shopping."
"Can't they go without us?"
"No, they found one we might get. Alice says that there are five bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a kitchen, dining room and living room."
"I'm up, I'm up," Edward said as he let me get of him and he slowly got up.
I went over to a box, pulled out an outfit and started changing. As I took my shirt off I looked at my stomach in a mirror. I turned to the side. You could see faint stretch marks. I groaned.
"What's wrong, sweetie?" Edward asked coming into the room with his coffee.
"I am huge! And stretch marks are forming," I complained.
"What are you talking about? You're beautiful and perfect." He set his coffee down and wrapped his arms around me. He kissed my cheek then picked up his coffee again. He went over to his closet and picked out a shirt and pants. I went out into the kitchen and poured myself some orange juice and got some cereal. I jumped up to sit on the counter while I drank my juice and ate my cereal. Edward came in seconds later with his shirt unbuttoned and his boxers showing.
"Nice," I commented on his outfit.
"Same goes for you," he laughed. He was looking straight at my chest and saw that I had milk on my shirt. I grabbed a napkin but Edward came over and grabbed the hand that held the napkin.
"Allow me," he said as he took the napkin and wiped my chest. I leaned my head and shoulders back, exposing my chest to him. He put the napkin down and kissed my neck and placed his hands on my chest. I moaned slightly. Edward pulled away.
"We have to stop." He stepped back a little.
"No, don't stop, it feels good," I moaned.
"Bella, I'm serious, we need to stop." Rejection washed over me.
"Why?" I asked, hurt hidden in my voice.
"Because, we can't do this Bella, you're pregnant."
"So, we can't even make out? Would you like it better if I had an abortion so it wouldn't be so hard on you?" I asked. I clamped my hand over my mouth, shocked at the last statement.
"Do you think that I regret getting you pregnant?" he asked shocked, and getting angry.
"You don't kiss me the way you did before I was pregnant. I didn't mean for the abortion thing to come out though." I said ashamed.
"Bella, I kiss you the same way every time."
"No, you don't, there isn't the amount of love as before. Now it's just a kiss instead of the kiss from the man I love."
"Bella, I don't know what you're talking about."
"I just need to know, is the fact that I'm pregnant affecting the way you act around me?"
"Bella, I don't want you or the baby to get hurt."
"We aren't made of glass for goodness sakes!" I exclaimed.
"I know you're not made of glass! I just have a feeling that I could hurt you if I touch you the wrong way, or kiss you too hard."
"Edward, I may look fragile, but I'm not. You could hit me, I won't break though."
"Bella, I know that."
"I just need to know one thing though. Do you think that because of me being pregnant you can't touch me the same way?"
"Bella, I'm not trying to touch you any differently. It just happens."
"Edward, you can kiss me like you used to. You can hold me as tight as you used to. I don't want to you to feel like you need to be careful with me." Edward looked like he was going to say something but he was cut off by Alice walking into the apartment. I got off the counter and went over to hug her. She squeezed me as hard as she could.
"Alice, be careful!" Edward hissed. I pulled away and looked at him. I can't believe he is still overprotective even after we had just had a discussion that he doesn't need to be. I walked into our room and into the bathroom. I shut the door and locked it.
"What did you do to her?" I heard Alice ask.
"Nothing, it's nothing. Let me take care of this." He sighed. I heard Edward come over to the door. "Bella, please come out."
"Why? Alice might hurt me," I mocked.
"Bella, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to," he apologized. I opened the door and walked over to the bed.
"Edward, you have to stop being so protective. Save that for our baby, when she needs it. I don't need your supervision and security for everything that I do."
"I know. Bella, I am so sorry, I just can't see anything happen to you." I walked over to Edward. I cupped his face in my hands.
"Nothing is going to happen to me." I said seriously. His hands grabbed mine and he leaned in to kiss me.
"Ahem," Alice said, breaking us up. "Are you guys all set?" she asked.
"No, give us a few hours." I laughed. Edward picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his torso and arms around his neck. He kissed me again, this time with more love.
"Hey, being pregnant and having sex is not good for the baby, and I don't want to see you all over my brother," Alice informed me. Edward broke away and put me down.
"Better?" he asking, mockingly.
"Much," Alice said, an accomplished smile grew on her face. She came over and pulled me by the hand so I would follow her. Edward was close behind as she kept pulling me behind her.
"Alice, let go!" I laughed.
"Not until we get to my apartment!" she laughed. I was trying to dig my heels into the floor. I ended up falling and pulling Alice down with me. Edward nearly tripped over us. Alice and I laid on the floor laughing.
Eventually we got up and went into Alice's apartment. The other four were there waiting for us in the living room.
"Finally!" Emmett said with a sigh. "What took you guys so long?"
"We had to get ready, jeez, sorry," I said holding up my hands.
"Alright, alright, let's just go." We all headed out the door. We headed down to Emmett's jeep. We piled in, one by one and drove off. We got to the house within five minutes. On the outside it looked huge, and like something that would be rated five stars. We went up and knocked on the door.
"Hello, you must be the people that are interested in buying this house."
"Yes, we are," Alice answered. We got a tour of the house. By the end of the tour we had claimed rooms, mine and Edward's being connected with another room to make the nursery, and we told them that we would be buying the house. Carlisle and Esme were paying for the house as a gift for us. Alice quickly turned to look at the lady again.
"When would you like us to move in?" she asked.
"As soon as is possible for you. As you just saw I am all packed and ready to go. So, you can move in whenever."
"Is two days from now fine?" Alice asked. We all looked at her with wide eyes.
"Yeah, that's perfect!" she exclaimed.
"Alright, we'll see you then." We all said our goodbyes and piled back into the jeep.
"Alice, are you crazy?" Edward asked when we pulled away. "We can't be packed in two days!"
"Edward, calm down. Jasper, Bella, and Emmett are already packed. Jasper will help me, Emmett will help Rose and Bella will help you. We will be packed."
Emmett turned the radio up. We all started singing along to the songs. When we got back to the apartment we headed up to our apartments and started packing.
Edward and I went to his room with boxes that we got from his closet. He still had the boxes from when he moved into the apartment. I started in his bedside table. I found random items in his drawer like pain killers prescribed when he broke his ribs, a few candles, and a few pictures; some of which caught my eye. They were of me and him. I was on his back and holding the camera in front of us. This must have been at the beach because I had my bikini on. Another one was the one that Alice took of Edward and me making out on the couch. I looked through the rest of them, remembering all of the fun memories we had.
"You found those, did you?" Edward asked from behind me. I jumped, being broken from my memories so suddenly. I put my hand over my heart.
"Sorry, love, didn't mean to scare you," he said kissing my cheek. His face was all scratchy from not shaving. I laughed at the feeling of it.
"What is so funny?" he asked.
"Nothing. It just felt weird when you kissed me because you didn't shave this morning." I laughed.
"Oh," he laughed. He rubbed his chin and cheeks all over my face. I playfully slapped his shoulder. He leaned over and started kissing me hungrily. I broke away and laughed.
"We need to finish packing. We only have a day to get packed," I smiled and kissed him one more time. He cupped his hands around my face. We were kissing the same way as Peter and M.J. did in Spiderman. I tangled my fingers in his hair.
We pulled apart and he kissed me softly one last time. He walked back over to his box and I finished cleaning out his bedside table. I then moved into his bathroom.
I cleaned out his drawers and laid the things that he needed for the next few days on the counter. I figured out that Edward wore contacts.
"Hey Edward!" I called. He walked in and wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Yes?" he asked.
"Since when do you wear contacts?" I asked.
"I've worn contacts every day of my life from the age of ten."
"Why didn't I know that?" I asked. I found a pair of glasses. "You never wear these either."
"Would you like to see me in them?" he asked.
"Of course," I smiled. I handed him his glasses and put them on. Edward looked really cute with glasses.
"How do I look?" he asked.
"Sexy. But that's nothing new." I laughed. "Why don't you wear these?"
"I don't like them. I like contacts better."
"Oh," I said. I returned to my packing. Edward stood with his arms still around my waist, watching me. I found a letter. I scrunched my eyebrows together. The letter was addressed to Eddie.
"Who called you Eddie?" I asked.
"You did," he whispered. I looked up at him.
"I did?" I asked.
"Yeah, you did." I opened the letter. It read
Bella: I am so scared about tomorrow. This seems like a nightmare where I will wake up and he will be gone and I will be standing at the altar alone.
Edward: Bells, he isn't going to leave you. And if he does, I am here for you and I love you.
Bella: half of me wants him to leave, but half doesn't. If he leaves, then I can be with you, but I am in love with him and want to marry him. I am going to be Isabella Marie Black tomorrow.
Edward: I can't believe you talked me into being YOUR best man.
Bella: you didn't even put up a fight like I thought you were going to.
Edward: would you mind if I did something, just because it is the last time I will see you before the wedding?
Bella: yes.
The note ended there.
"What did you do?" I asked.
"This," Edward said. He leaned forward and kissed me passionately. I kissed him back. I wrapped my arms around his neck. When I pulled away he laughed.
"You did that too." I smiled.
"Why didn't I just tell you instead of writing a note?"
"You were crying because of a dream that you had. It was easier for you to write the not. I was your best friend, and the man you loved. But so was Jacob. We were in love before you forgot who I was."
I closed my eyes and tried to think. Before I realized what was happening it was like a video playing in my brain.
"Eddie, open up, please," I sobbed. I was banging on Edward's window. It was 2:35 a.m. and I had just woken up from a terrible dream. I turned around and sat on his roof. I pulled my knees up to my chest and laid my head on my knees.
"Bella! What's wrong?" Edward asked coming out and grabbing my hand. He pulled me to his window and helped me through. He pulled me into his arms and held me there and let me cry and ruin his shirt. He was humming an unfamiliar song to help calm me. When the crying slowed he asked me what was wrong again. I motioned toward his notepad that he wrote his songs in. he handed it to me and a pen.
"Bella, Bella!" I felt Edward shaking me. I opened my eyes and gasped.
"What happened, sweetie?" he asked.
"I think I just had a flashback to the night before my wedding."
"Oh," he said, understanding in his voice.
After a few more hours of packing we were finally most of the way finished. All we had left were the necessities that we needed for the next few days. I laid down on the couch and Edward came over and sat under my head. He started playing with my hair and I closed my eyes.
"Who's ready to party?!" I heard Emmett yell. It sounded super close. I opened my eyes and he was right above me. I screamed and fell off the couch. "Jeez, Bells, I didn't mean to scare you." Emmett said, trying to suppress his laughter.
"I can't help but be scared with your ugly face," I grinned.
"Alright, you asked for it," Emmett said coming over to me. I tried to get up and get away from Emmett but he was too quick. He picked me up and threw me over his shoulder. "Edward, hold her down." Emmett gave me to Edward.
"Edward! No! Don't do it, Edward!" I scolded. Edward grabbed my arms and held them behind my back.
"Sorry, love," he whispered into my ear. Emmett came at me and tickled my side. I immediately started squirming and laughing.
"Stop! Please!" I pleaded. I then got an idea. I lightly kicked Edward where the sun don't shine. He let go of me and fell to the floor in agony.
"Bella!" Emmett said, looking at his best friend who was lying on the floor. I sat down next to Edward.
"I didn't kick him hard," I defended myself. I then felt myself lying on the floor with Edward kneeling over me. He was grinning. I stuck my tongue out at him. When I put my tongue back in my mouth he leaned down and softly kissed me.
"Dude, get off my sister. We're going clubbing," Emmett said. We pulled apart and looked at each other.
"Emmett, in case you haven't noticed, I'm pregnant and can't go clubbing," I stated.
"Bella, you don't have to drink, you just have to come. Alice and Rose won't take no for an answer."
"I am not going. Not when I'm pregnant."
"Yes you are, Bella!" Alice said coming up to Edward's couch. "We are celebrating that you are pregnant."
"By going to a club?" I asked astonished.
"Why, yes. Why wouldn't we?" She asked.
"Two words, I'm pregnant."
"You don't have to drink, Bella. Being pregnant doesn't stop you from going out and having fun though!"
"I can't believe you talked me into this," I sighed. She squealed and started heading out of the room saying that she would be back in a minute and to stay put. I walked out into the living room where Edward was. I saw that he was already changed.
"Wow, you change fast," I laughed. He was wearing jeans and a green dress shirt with the top few buttons left undone.
"Let's just say that these are the same jeans and this dress shirt, Alice bought."
"I can't believe she is making us go to a club," I laughed.
"Yeah, but you know that when Alice has something in her head, she never lets it go."
"Bella! I thought that I told you to stay put!" Alice yelled.
"Oops, I have to go." I leaned up and kissed him and ran into our room.
Alice shut the door behind her. She then proceeded to take a short blue sparkly dress out of a garment bag.
"You expect me to wear that?"
"Yes, and I will make you wear it no matter what."
After a couple minutes of trying to stall, Alice nearly forced the dress onto me. After it was finally on I looked into the mirror. The dress was halter strapped and had a v-neck that came down to just under my breasts and tied all the way down. The dress length stopped right after my thighs and about two inches above my knees.
"Alice, how did you get this in my size?" I asked astonished.
"The maternity section," she shrugged. I did not even imagine that anyone would ever think of making something this revealing for the maternity section.
Rose came in not even a minute later with a hair straightener, a hair curler, and a couple pins, and two garment bags. Rose and Alice changed into dresses that were the same as mine except that Rose's was red, and Alice's was yellow. Obviously, Alice and Rose got the dresses at a special store because their dresses definitely weren't from the maternity section.
"Alright, ladies! Let's do our hair and make-up!" Rose announced.
"We went into the bathroom and Rose started on my hair and Alice started on my make-up. Alice took forty five minutes to finish and perfect my makeup while Rose took an hour to do the same to my hair. When I was done they began working on their own hair and make-up.
I looked into the mirror and my hair was in loose curls with a few strands pinned back. I wore silver eye shadow with light blue eyeliner. I had a clear lip gloss on to make my lips look plumper. I had to admit, Rose and Alice did an awesome job.
When Alice and Rose finished with their hair and make-up we went out and were greeted by wide eyes and dropped jaws. We smiled and went over to the men that we loved.
"Hey," I said as I walked up to Edward.
"How did you fit into one of your old dresses?" he asked.
"I didn't, Alice got this for me."
"Where?"
"The maternity section at some store."
"Wow."
"Your reaction was the same as mine." I smiled.
"Alright, let's go!" Alice squealed.
We all headed outside. We walked to the club, called Twilight, because it was about three blocks from out apartment. When we got to the club, we headed inside and went straight to the dance floor.
The first song that we danced to was Kiss Me Thru the Phone by Soulja Boy Tell 'Em. We dance for what seemed like hours.
"I'm going to go get a drink. Would you like a non-alcoholic beverage?" Edward asked over the music.
"No, I'm fine."
"Okay, I'll be right back," he said and kissed my cheek. I started dancing alone for a minute. Then I felt someone's hand on my waist.
"Hey, I saw you dancing, I was waiting for that man to leave so I could get a chance," an unfamiliar voice said.
"He is my husband, creep. And I'm pregnant." I tried pulling away but the man grabbed my arm.
"You're not going anywhere until you dance with me."
"Let go of me!" I slapped him in the face. This made him mad. He held onto my arm tighter until I screamed.
"I said you aren't going anywhere until you dance with me!"
"And I told you I have a husband." I tried slapping him again but he grabbed my hand. He brought my arm down and grabbed my hand with the same hand that was holding my arm. He slapped me as soon as he had a grip of my hand. I fell to my knees.
"You pathetic, bitch," he spat.
"Hey!" I heard Edward yell.
"And who are you?" the man asked.
"Her husband," he said. I then heard the sound of Edward's fist connecting with the man's face. The man yelled some words that not even I would repeat and walked off.
"Bella!" Edward yelled, helping me up. "Bella, are you all right?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I said. I tried standing on my own, but that slap made me dizzy so I had to lean on Edward for support.
"C'mon, let's get out of here. It's two in the morning anyways. Alice and them already headed home." Edward picked me up and began pushing through the crowd. I fell asleep on the walk home.
Hey everyone!
Thank you for reading the latest chapter! I am so sorry that it took me so long to write this chapter. I think that the only reason that I got it done TODAY was because I was at home in bed sick with nothing else to do. Otherwise, it would not be finished yet. But, anyway, please review because that inspires me to write faster. I will update as soon as I can. Thanks again!
Lots of love,
Nikki
