Chapter 25: Unexpected Guest
BPOV
I woke up to the buzzing of Edward's cell phone. Edward was fast asleep on his side his arm around my waist. I reached for his phone answering since it was his parents. "Hello." I mumbled still half asleep. My body was still on the high of the previous night's pleasure.
"Bella," I heard Abby's voice say.
"Hi, sweetheart. How are you?" I asked immediately much more awake.
"I miss you and daddy." She responded.
"I miss you, too." I answered carefully sitting up without waking Edward. He looked very peaceful while he was asleep, almost like a little boy.
"Are you coming to pick me up?" She inquired in a hopeful tone.
"In a little, daring. It's still rather early." I replied noticing it was just after eight. "Aren't you having fun with Grandma and Grandpa?"
"We rode on the gondolas." She answered happily. "And then they took me to get ice cream, and I got you and daddy a cookie."
"A cookie?" I stated eagerly as she giggled.
"A chocolate chip cookie for you and daddy to share." She explained as I realized I had a smile on my face.
"That's wonderful, baby." I replied as I heard Esme mumbling in the background.
"Grandma wants to talk to you." She added as I heard the phone being handed to Esme.
"Edward, I'm so sorry." She began.
"It's Bella, Esme. Is something wrong?" I inquired looking down at Edward who was still fast asleep.
"Nothing the matter, dear. I just didn't see Abby get the phone. She's been awake since six, and wanted to call you. She must've gotten Carlisle's phone while we were in the room." She explained as I laughed.
"It's perfectly fine." I assured her.
"You might want to check the online celebrity sights. Edward and you made headlines again." She suggested as I groaned. I was obviously not going to be having a low key relationship with Edward.
"I don't even want to know." I added as Esme laughed.
"Just thought I'd let you know." She continued. "But I'll let you go. Are you coming here to pick up Abby?"
"Probably not." I replied with a sigh. "I should stay away from the Venetian until I go back to work. I'll have Edward give you a call when he wakes up."
"Get a few more hours of sleep." Esme suggested before hanging up.
I had gotten two weeks off from work to do all the moving things. We had already signed all the paperwork, and the house would be ready to move in by mid-week. However, we had a lot of furniture to buy and a lot of decorating to do.
I gently put the phone back on the nightstand snuggling closer to Edward. "Time to wake up, love." I said kissing him slowly.
At first he didn't respond, but he slowly began to return my kiss his arms wrapping around me. "This is wonderful, love." He whispered before returning his lips to mine.
"Very wonderful." I added as he pulled me on top of him, and I realized how ready he was to continue where we had left off the previous night.
His fingers entered me slowly making sure I was ready, before he pulled them out. I groaned at the lost of contact as I felt him enter me. The bare friction made me moan into his kiss as he guided my hips in movement.
"I love you." He whispered as we continued to move in synchrony. Every cell of my body felt like it was on fire as his lips ventured down to my neck and finally to my breasts.
Our moans and gasps became louder as we neared our climax. Stars erupted in my eyes as he hit the right spot making me crumble towards him. I gasped for air, as I held onto him feeling his own release empty within me.
"Good morning." He said softly his hands roaming my bare back.
"A very good morning," I added kissing his neck.

As much as I wanted to stay with her in my arms the whole day. I knew we needed to pick up Abby. I had learned that my five-year old daughter was not very patient, and she would probably drive my parents insane.
Bella had slipped on my shirt not bothering to put on underwear as she went to make us some breakfast. I stayed in bed a few more minutes trying to regain composure. As I slipped on my boxers and I was making my way to the kitchen I heard a knock on the door.
"I'll get it, love." I called making my way to the door.
I opened the door and was met with a middle-aged man. "Does Bella Swan live here?" He asked looking dumbstruck.
"She does. And you are?" I answered not realizing that I was only wearing my boxers.
"I should be asking you that." He replied looking angry. "I'm Police Chief Swan, Bella's father."
I gulped at the realization as Bella came out of the kitchen. "Who is it, Edward?" She asked as stood aside letting her see for herself.
"Dad!" She stated turning bright red. "Come in." She said not moving from her spot near the kitchen.
"Is there someone you want to introduce me to?" He inquired as Bella walked towards me pulling down on my shirt.
"Dad, this is my boyfriend, Edward. Edward, this is my dad, Charlie." She introduced.
"Nice to meet you, Chief Swan." I said offering him my hand. I hadn't expected to meat her dad after I had just had amazing sex with her daughter. I had never felt more awkward than I did at that moment.
"Edward," He said shaking my hand.
"I just made breakfast." Bella added biting her lip. "Help yourself, dad. We're going to change." She finished pointing her dad towards the kitchen as we both made our way back into the bedroom.
"He hates me." I sighed leaning against the door once it was closed.
"He does not." She corrected going into the closet while moving some of the boxes that she had already packed. "He's just surprised."
"Right," I said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes. "He's going to shoot me."
"He is not, Edward. I'm a grown woman, he does not get involved in my love life." She explained grabbing a pair of jeans and a sleeveless shirt.
I stayed quiet as she went into the bathroom to change. I slipped on a pair of jeans and grabbed a shirt. As much as she wanted me to believe that her dad didn't want to kill me, I knew the truth. I was definitely on his hit list.

To say I was mortified was putting it mildly. There was no question over what we had done. I knew my dad suspected that I wasn't a virgin, but I didn't think he needed conformation.
Edward followed me out of the bedroom and into the kitchen. My dad had helped himself to scrambled eggs and bacon. I could tell he was bothered by the situation, because he was just moving his food around the plate. My dad always ate all my cooking despite what mood he was in.
"You didn't call." I pointed out grabbing two other plates to serve us breakfast.
"I wanted to surprise you, but I guess I got the surprise." He answered still not making eye contact with Edward or me.
"Dad, I'm twenty-five." I pointed out as he nodded and sighed.
"I know, Bells. But it's a lot to take in either way. I definitely should've called." He answered finally looking up at us. "Does Alice still live here? Or is it just you two?"
"Alice lives here, but she's staying with her boyfriend, Jasper for a few days. Edward and I are moving in together." I added as Edward almost choked on his coffee. It was best to be up front with my dad.
"Moving in together." He repeated calmly. "That's a big step."
"Chief Swan," Edward began as he squeezed my hand.
"Charlie," My dad corrected.
"Charlie, I love your daughter very much." He replied in a confident tone. "She means the world to me. And even though we've only known each other for a short time, I know she's the one for me."
"I'm glad you feel that way. Bells is very special." My dad added as Edward nodded his cell phone ringing.
"That's probably Abby. We're late." Edward stated before leaving the room to pick up his phone.
"Abby?" My dad questioned as I sighed.
"Edward's daughter." I explained as his eyes widened.
"A daughter?" He inquired as I nodded.
"She's great dad, she's five years old. He just met her a week ago." I explained as the confusion wrote itself in my dad's face.
"It's a long story, dad." I began as Edward came inside.
"I'm going to pick her up. I can take her out for the day and give you two time together." Edward stated as I shook my head.
"My dad should meet Abby." I commented.
"I like children." My dad added as Edward nodded giving me a quick kiss.
"I should be back in less than an hour." He continued before leaving.
"How could he not know he had a daughter?" My father asked in an unbelieving tone. I didn't blame him, it didn't sound responsible.
I explained quickly what had happened, and I could tell my dad was highly affected by Edward's story. "He really loves her, and I do to." I added with a smile. "I love her as if she was my own."
"She sounds wonderful, Bella. But a child is a big responsibility." He answered.
"I know, dad. And I think I'm ready." I replied truthfully. I could see myself in no other place.
I spent the rest of the morning telling my dad about Edward and Abby. I told him about his career, and he was highly impressed. He loved the fact that Edward had a stable career and income. I could also tell he was looking forward to meeting the little girl that had won all our hearts.
A/N: It's Charlie (lol)! Some of you were dead on, and others had a bunch of theories. Which I must say were quite funny to read!
