CHAPTER 26

BPOV

Previously

All the way up the elevator, Edward tried to apologize, but I told him "not now." I was in too much pain to discuss what had just happened.

________________________________________________________________________

"Bella, please just let me explain." "I love you sweetie." What part of not now did Edward not understand? I didn't mean to come across like a witch, but the contractions were not letting up at all. If anything they were getting worse.

"Edward, what part of not now do you not understand?" "I am in the middle of having a very painful contraction, so I am sorry if I don't feel like talking about Tanya." I am not sure if the tears that were now falling down my face was from the pain of the contraction or from what Tanya did.

I think Edward finally got the hint, because he didn't say anything else about the Tanya thing. Instead he just came over and started rubbing my back to help keep me calm.

As the elevator door opened, I saw Carlisle right in front of us. "What took you guys so long?" Knowing that I would not want to answer, Alice just said, "don't ask." Carlisle led us to a room and then a nurse came to get me set up with the baby monitor. As I was getting situated another contraction came on. This one was really bad.

The nurse looked at me and said, "Bella, you need to remember to breath in and out, very slowly." I know she was just trying to help, but I was not in the mood to hear her nice little soft voice. I think Edward could tell I was not happy with nurse, so he just started rubbing my back and caressing my hand.

I have to say that even though I was not happy with what happened between Edward, what he was doing was making me feel alittle better. "Thanks Edward." "I think that one is over now."

Once I was comfortable in the bed and had the monitor all set up, Carlisle came back in to check on me. "Bella, I need to do another exam to see if you have dilated anymore since being in the office." Edward once again starting rubbing my hand, and I just looked him in his eyes to keep my mind off of the pain I was experiencing. As I was looking at him he mouthed the words I needed to hear. "I love you Bella." I knew that Edward did love me and that it was Tanya who kissed him. Keeping my eyes directly on Edward I whispered back to him, "I love you too." He then kissed my forehead and we both looked at Carlisle to hear if I was making any progress.

"Well Bella you are now 4 centimeters and I think I am going to break your water." "This should help speed things up alittle for you." Before leaving Carlisle asked one more question, "Bella, do you want any medication?" I knew he was talking about an epidural. Did I want to have one? Edward and I never really talked about this so I was not sure what I should do. I think Carlisle could tell I was not sure so he just told us to talk it over with each other and let him know. I still had a while to go before I needed to make a final decision.

Once Carlisle left the room, Alice said she was going to go call everyone to let them now I was having the baby. I thanked her for everything she has done and then she left.

I looked at Edward and I could tell he was feeling sorry for what happened. I was not really wanting to talk about Tanya, but I needed to let him know that I was not mad at me, but at the situation. We needed to get past this before Olivia was born.

"Edward, I want to let you know….". And that is how far I got before another contraction came. Right away he tried to relax and have me breath in and out. After several long minutes, the contraction was over and I tried to talk again.

"Edward, I want to let you know that I am not mad at you." "I am upset with the situation and with Tanya, but I know you did not kiss her." "I just wish she would leave you alone." Edward took my hand and said, "Bella, I love you so much." "I don't know how, but some how I am going to get Tanya to leave us alone." "I am so sorry you saw that, but please know I would never ever kiss another woman." "You are the only woman I want to and ever will kiss." "You are my life."

Right then he kissed me and for just a second I felt wonderful. I was sitting here in the hospital getting ready to have a baby with the most amazing guy in the world. Now don't get me wrong, emotional I would continue to feel wonderful, but the pain that came with the next contraction was not so wonderful. As the next contraction came, the tears started to come right along. These contractions were getting worse and I was not sure how much longer I could take them. Edward tried to keep me calm with the breathing, but it was not helping.

"Bella, if you want to get an epidural it is okay." "Are you sure Edward it won't hurt the baby?" "Bella, sweetie, it will be just fine." "A lot of woman get an epidural and if you want one it is fine with me." With that being said, I hit the nurse button and told her I was ready for an epidural.

Not ten minutes later, Carlisle was back with another doctor who was going to give me the epidural. Boy was I feeling a lot better. I was still able to feel the contractions some, but it was nothing compared to what it was before the epidural. Edward looked at me and I could tell he was more relaxed now. Carlisle did a quick exam and I had already went from 4 to 6 centimeters. He told me that I was progressing very nicely and that he would be back soon.

As Carlisle was leaving, Renee, Esme, Rosalie, and Alice came in. "Oh Bella, are you okay?" "Yes mom I am fine." "Are you sure Bella?" "Alice told us what happened with Tanya." "Everyone, I promise you that everything is okay." "Please don't worry." Esme looked at me and said, "Bella, you know we just love you and are worried." I have to say that I was so lucky to be having such a wonderful woman to have as a mother in law After a few more contraction, everyone but Edward left.

"Bella, you look tired." "Why don't you try and rest alittle." I knew he was right and I tried to close my eyes. Thirty minutes later, I was woken up and my contractions were so strong that the epidural was not helping much at all. "Edward, it hurts." I tried not to cry, but the pain was so bad. Edward took me in his arms and rubbed my back and tried to get me to breath nice and slow. He sure did have the magic touch.

After a few more very strong contractions, Carlisle came back in to check on my progress. "Bella, only a few more to go." "You are now 8 centimeters so it could be anytime now." Carlisle left the room to go tell everyone that I was soon going to start pushing and get things ready for the baby to come.

"Edward, I can't believe that this is happening." "I know sweetie." "I can't believe that I am going to be a daddy really soon." "Edward, thank you." "For what Bella?" "For just being so wonderful and for making me so very happy." I tried to stop the tears from coming, but this was just so emotional.

With the next contraction, I felt different. "Edward, I feel like I need to push." "It's okay Bella, I will go get Carlisle." Edward ran out into the hallway and got Carlisle. "Well there is no turning back now Bella." "Are you ready dear?" "As ready as I am ever going to be Carlisle."

I think I pushed for about a half an hour before I heard Carlisle say, "just one more Bella." With the last push I could hear her. Our daughter, Olivia Alexsandra, was here in my arms. I looked at Edward and he had the biggest smile on his face along with a few tears rolling down his face.

I handed Olivia over to Edward and he took her to the warmer to get weighed and measured. I knew she was going to small, so I was not too worried. Edward came back over to my side as the nurse took care of Olivia. I still could not believe that I was finally a mother.

Edward looked at me, took my hand and said, "I love you Isabella Swan." "I love you Edward Cullen." As Edward was giving me a sweet soft kiss, the nurse asked us if we wanted to know how much Olivia weighed. "I am pleased to say that she weighs 4lbs and 8 ounces and is 18 inches long." Oh my little peanut. "Can I hold her?" "Of course you can sweetie." With that the nurse brought Olivia over to me and placed her in my arms.

Edward joined me on the bed and put his hand around me and the two of us just looked at our little girl and just smiled. She was beautiful. She had dark brown hair and green eyes. She had my nose, but seemed to have most of Edward's facial features.

A few minutes later, our family and friends started to come in. Everyone was so happy and kept on saying how beautiful she was. After everyone got a chance to hold Olivia, Carlisle came in and said that I needed my rest. With that everyone but Edward left. He was going to stay all night with me.

When we were alone, I looked at him and just started crying. "Bella, love, what is wrong?" "Edward, I am just so happy." "I can't believe that she is finally here and that we are now a family." "Bella, I love you and Olivia more than anything." "Edward, I love you too."

I yawned a few times and Edward insisted that I rest. He took Olivia in his arms and I fell right to sleep.

EPOV

I sat there with Olivia in my arms and could not start smiling. I was holding my daughter. I still can't believe that I was a daddy now. As I rocked Olivia to sleep I couldn't get over how lucky I was.

I had the most beautiful daughter and was going to be marrying the most amazing woman in the world. What more could a man ask for?

I stayed in the chair rocking Olivia for most of the night. I knew I should have tried to sleep, but since I had the next few days off I knew I could sleep later.

As I sat looking at my daughter I started to think about what I was going to do about the Tanya situation. I needed to stop this once and for all. Not just for myself, but for Bella and now Olivia.

I knew I was not going to like what I needed to do, but I had no choice. It was time that I stood up to Tanya once and for all. Eventually I had the plan all set in my mind and so I decided to close my eyes and rest for a while.

I am not sure how long I was asleep, but it was definitely morning. I woke up to Bella feeding Olivia. Bella was so beautiful and watching her feed our daughter was breathtaking.

I looked at Bella and told her how much I loved her. She of course told me that she loved me back. As we were sitting there looking at our daughter, I tried not to yawn. I was more tired then I thought I was. I know I slept alittle bit, but I guess it was not enough.

"Edward, why don't you go home and get some sleep." "I am sure my family and your family will be coming soon to visit, so you should go home and try to rest." I idea of leaving Bella and Olivia didn't make me happy, but I knew Bella was right. I needed to get some sleep, but I also had something else to do before I could rest.

I didn't argue with her. "Okay Bella, I will go home and rest for a while." "I will be back soon." "Call me if you need me for anything." "Edward, we will be fine." "Now go."

As I got into my car I called Jacob to see if he knew Tanya's home address. I decided last night that I had to take care of the situation with Tanya once and for all. Jacob gave me her address and asked if he wanted him to go with me. I thanked him, but said this was something I needed to do myself. Before hanging up he said, "congratulations Edward." I knew that was not easy for him to say. "Jacob, thanks." We hung up and I made my way over to Tanya's house.

I was hoping that she was not working this morning. I needed to get this over with before Bella was out of the hospital. I pulled up to her apartment and saw her car there. Well here it goes.

I got out of my car and before I could knock on the door, Tanya opened it. "Oh, Edward, I knew you would someday change your mind." As I stood there I thought that maybe this was a mistake. What if Tanya got the wrong idea? No. I needed to tell her to her face once and for all how things were.

"Tanya, you are wrong.' "I am not here because I have changed my mind." "That will never happen." Tanya, I am here to tell her to leave Bella and I alone." "I love Bella and that will never change." "Edward, you don't mean that." Wow this woman is nuts. I was going to leave and just forget it, but for Bella and Olivia I needed to do this.

"Tanya, I need you to understand that nothing you do or say will stop me from loving Bella." "She is the person I am going to marry and the mother of my child." "She is my world, my everything." "You need to stop this." "Please leave us alone Tanya."

I felt alittle bad seeing Tanya cry, but I knew she needed to hear what I said. "Tanya, I don't want to involve the police anymore and I don't want to have you banned from the hospital, but if you don't leave us alone then you give me no choice." After a few minutes of silence and Tanya crying some more, she finally spoke.

"Edward, I am sorry." "I just saw the way you loved Bella and I just wanted that too." "I never meant for it to get carried out of hand as much as it did." "I am sorry." I was not too sure if I believed what was coming out of Tanya's mouth. This could all be just some kind of trick.

However, the next thing she said made me feel like maybe she was telling the truth. "Edward, please know that I will not bother you or Bella anymore." "I thin I am going to move to Port Angeles closer to my job." "I am sorry again and I hope one day you will be able to forgive me for what I did to both you and Bella." "And by the way, congratulations."

I did not know what to say at that point. I was so happy to hear that Tanya was moving out of town. I did not want to ask if she was going to change doctors but I was thinking that maybe she was. I thanked her for making this decision to leave than left.

As I was on my way home, I couldn't stop thinking about Bella and Olivia. My world was now complete.

I was able to get a few hours of sleep before I went back to the hospital. On my way to see Bella and Olivia, my phone rang and I noticed that it was Jacob. "Hey man, what's up?" "Edward, I am not sure what you said to Tanya, but I thought you would be interested in knowing that she just called Jessica and told her that she was moving out of town." "I thought you would be happy to hear that." I had my doubts that Tanya was telling me the truth about moving, but I guess she was being honest. I thanked Jacob for the heads up and asked him if he was going to be stopping by the hospital. "Jacob, I know it would mean a lot to Bella if you came by." I think he was shocked. "Are you sure Edward?" "I am more than sure Jacob." He told me that Jessica and him would be up later on that day and then we hung up.

I was so happy to see Bella and Olivia again. I know I was only gone for a few hours, but it seemed like I was gone forever. As I was sitting next to Bella with Olivia in my hands, Angela came in to visit and tell Bella the good news. "Tanya is leaving town." "Are you serious Angela?" "Yes Bella, she just called me and told me that she is moving to Port Angeles." I was so happy. Looking at Bella's face told me that she was just as happy to hear the news as I was. She didn't ask what brought on her decision to leave, and I know I was going to have to tell her about my visit to Tanya, but I did not think the hospital was the place for that talk.

My dad came in and told Bella and I that Olivia was going to need to stay at the hospital a few extra days for observation, but that Bella could stay with her. Olivia was breathing fine on her own but they wanted to make sure that there would be no other complications for her before we took her home.

It was Tuesday and I didn't have to go back to work until Thursday. My dad said that we should be able to take Olivia home by either Sunday or Monday. I know that Bella was alittle upset about this, but I told her that they are just doing what was best for Olivia.

The week went by fast and before we knew it we were taking Olivia home. I took the next two days off so I could help Bella for the first couple of days at home. Having both Bella and Olivia home made things complete. My life could not get any better than it is now. I have a beautiful and amazing woman who will soon become my wife and the most sweetest little baby girl. What more can a person ask for.

BPOV

Having Edward home for the first couple of days of bringing Olivia home was helpful. I was healing just fine from the delivery, but I was running very tired. Olivia was needing to be fed every three hours and since I was breastfeeding Edward couldn't help much with that. However, he did everything else. He always wanted to change her, and hold her and rock her to sleep. I always knew that he would be a great father, but seeing him in action made me grow to love him even more.

While Edward was home, he told me about his conversation with Tanya. At first I was alittle upset to think that he had gone over to her house, but then I realized that he did it for us. To say that we were happy that Tanya was going to be out of the picture was an understatement. Edward and I were both thrilled to know that she would have nothing to do with our lives anymore.

Before I knew it, Edward was back to work and it was just Olivia and I during the day. I have to say that I was extremely lucky because Olivia was a great baby. She hardly cried and slept a lot. My family and friends would stop by for a few hours during the day just to make sure that I was okay. I have to admit that I am one of the luckiest person. I not only have an amazing man who is going to become my husband and a beautiful daughter who I never thought I could love so much, but I have a wonderful support of family and friends. I don't think there is anything more a person could ask for.

I don't know how it happened, but before I knew it Olivia was a month old. She had gained a pound and a half and grew another inch as well. The doctor said she was doing great and had no concerns what so ever. I also had a check up with Carlisle and he said I was doing just fine. I would be able to return back to work in just a few weeks and I could go back to all my normal routines. When Carlisle said those words I took it that he was referring to being able to be intimate with Edward. It seems like it has been forever since Edward and I have touched each other besides kissing.

On my way home from my appointment, I called my mom and asked her if she would mind keeping Olivia for a few hours while Edward and I reconnected. Of course she did not have a problem. When I got home from dropping off Olivia to my mom I started to prepare dinner. I was making one of Edward's favorite so I wanted to make sure everything was perfect.

I had dinner all set and then went to get ready. Alice had taken me shopping last weekend and I had bought an amazing dress with matching undergarments. Edward was going to be so shocked but not in a bad way of course. As I was just putting the finishing touches to our bedroom, Edward walked in. "Bella sweetie, where are you?" I walked down the hallway into the living room and when he saw me his eyes just filled with tears. "Oh Bella you look stunning." I was not sure why he was all teary, but I was not going to ask.

After asking about where Olivia was, Edward and I made our way to the dining room for dinner. When I asked Edward if he wanted dessert, he looked at me and just "and what would that be Bella love?" I knew then that both of us had the same idea. Edward and I enjoyed each other in ways that words could not express.

After we were done, Edward looked at me and I looked at him and we both just said "I love you." My mom dropped off Olivia shortly after and then our family was complete. Edward, Olivia and I. One big happy family. I couldn't ask for anything more.
