The Perfect Day
Edward POV
"Baby I can't find my bracelet!" I hear Isabella scream from the bedroom. Isabella and I decided to move back into the penthouse I lived in when we met. We didn't have much privacy at my parents place even if it was large and Isabella still wasn't comfortable with moving back into the house. I planned to talk to her about simply selling it and buying a new one.
"Are you sure you didn't leave it at my parents?" I yelled back as I placed the kid's breakfast down on the table.
"No, I had it yesterday." She yelled back and I smiled at the kids when I say,
"Your mother would lose her head if it wasn't attached to her body." All three of them laugh hysterically. Once each of them has their breakfast, I walk to the refrigerator and take out the milk.
"What were you little munchkins laughing at?" I heard Isabella ask as she entered the kitchen.
"Daddy said you would lose your head if it wasn't on your body." Kiah said making Keiara and Ethan laugh again. I turn around leaning on the counter as I smile at her.
"So you're snitching on me now Miss Kiah?" I asked and she started giggling like Isabella often did. Isabella walked over to me and placed a kiss on my lips.
"You are so lucky I love you." She mumbled against them. She took over making the kids their milk while I cleaned up the kitchen.
"Mommy can we go see the stars again today?" Ethan asked. Isabella looked my way with a smile on her face. After taking them the day after the press conference they wanted to come back almost every day. They seemed to love it just as much as Isabella did.
"We went yesterday." Isabella said and all three of the kids started whining please. Isabella poured some milk in my coffee as she looked at me with a brow raised.
"What do you think?" Isabella asked me.
"I could see the stars again." I said with a roll of my eyes and Isabella laughed while the kids screamed out a loud "yay!"
"You have to eat all of your breakfast first." Isabella tells them and I smile when I see Kiah roll her eyes. Keiara never gave us trouble when it came to eating. I swore somehow she had Emmett's appetite. Ethan was just picky about who's cooking he ate. While Kiah, Kiah was the pickiest eater I've ever met.
I knew because of her we had at least another hour or two before we actually had to get ready to leave. Leaning against the counter, I watched Isabella and the kids talk and eat breakfast. Every now and then Isabella would look up at me with a smile on her face.
"You like something you see Mr. Cullen?" Isabella asked and I was getting ready to reply when the house phone rung. I saw it was Jenks on the caller I.D. I knew he was calling with information regarding Faith and Eric and I didn't want to talk about it in front of the kids. So far we managed to keep them clueless about what was going on around them.
"I'm going to take that in the office." I said pointing at the phone and Isabella nodded her head. I walked into the office and quickly answered the phone.
"Yeah Jenks."
"Hey Edward. I'm calling to let you know that I have the trial dates for Eric and Faith." He said and then gave me the dates. I wrote them down on the calendar and it didn't go unnoticed that Faith's trial date was close to Isabella's due date.
"Do we have to testify at all?" I asked him.
"They want you to testify against Eric because believe it or not he and his lawyer entered a plea of not guilty."
"What!" I yelled, and then pinched the bridge of my nose trying to calm myself down.
"Eric is trying to claim it was a set up. I haven't heard the entire story. I just found out his plea today from the District Attorney. Since it is the State of Illinois against Eric they can't provide me with any more information without jeopardizing the case." Jenks told me and I shook my head.
"What about Isabella?" I asked needing to know if she would have to testify at all.
"I don't know for sure yet if she has to testify at all. I'll let you know."
"Thanks Jenks."
"No problem Edward. Tell Bella I said hello."
"Will do." I replied then hung up the phone.
"Is everything all right?" I heard Isabella ask from the doorway of the room.
"Eric pleaded not guilty." I told her.
"What? He can't do that can he? I mean he was there when they… I swear to god if he thinks he is going to get away with this he has another thing coming. I will strangle him with my bare hands for what he did to you Edward…" Isabella ranted with her hands flying around in the air. As pissed off as she was all I could think about was how fucking beautiful she looked.
"That son of a bitch conducted this entire thing and he think he's just going to walk away. He can't Edward…He can't or I'll-I'll die if he gets away with what he did to you." Isabella continued and I saw the tears in her eyes. Quickly I walked over to her and pulled her into my arms.
"He won't chéri. I won't let him." I informed her and she nodded her head against my chest. Slowly I ran my fingers through her hair as we listened to the kids laugh in the distance.
"I want to talk to you about something." I said and she pulled her head from my chest and looked up at me.
"What is it?"
"It's about the house…"
"…Edward I can't go back there. Two people died in our house. If a scumbag like Orlando could get in while special agents were inside I just-I won't-I don't feel safe there." She told me and I held her face between my hands.
"I know Chéri, and that's why I think we should sell it." I told her and she actually looked surprised. She shook her head.
"We don't have to. I'm being silly. It's one of the safest neighborhoods near the city I know that. Maybe if we remodel or something, I know how much you love that house…"
"…I love you more. If you don't want to live there anymore we won't."
"So what are we going to do then? We can't stay here, there isn't enough space for the six of us." Isabella said and I smiled now rubbing my hand over her stomach.
"Then I guess we have some house hunting to do." I replied and she smiled up at me.
"You know what though?"
"What?"
"I love the master bathroom here. Even more than the one at the house." She told me and I laughed already knowing that. I remembered her first reaction to my bathroom here.
"Then I'll make sure the new house has a bathroom like this one."
"Promise."
"Whatever you want Isabella, it's yours." I replied and then lowered my lips over hers.
"I wish we could continue what we started this morning…" She moaned against my lips. I laughed at how insatiable she was with this pregnancy.
"There is always later."
Narrator POV
Kiah, Keiara and Ethan Cullen walked into their room quietly so their parents wouldn't hear them. They were young but smarter than most adults.
"Daddy is going to be real mad if we let Queen Elizabeth out again." Kiah said as she watched her sister and brother walk over to the rabbit's cage.
"But we haven't gotten to pet her since Uncle Seth brought her here," Keiara said, sticking her little finger in the cage.
"I can catch her if she runs," Ethan said with a smile.
"You can?" Kiah asked, returning his smile. She hoped he could catch the rabbit because she really wanted to pet her.
"Yup, I'm fast just like daddy," Ethan said, with pride in his chest at the thought of being like his father.
"See Kiah, Ethan can catch her," Keiara said, lifting the hook on the cage.
"Wait!" Kiah yelled, making Keiara freeze. Kiah ran out of the room and then quickly ran back in with a carrot in her hand.
"We have to give her a treat," Kiah said, holding the orange slender vegetable up in the air. They closed their bedroom door back and Keiara lifted the hook on the cage. She pulled their pet rabbit from the cage and sat down on the bed. Softly she petted her while Kiah tried feeding her the carrot.
"I think she's mad at us," Ethan said, sitting down next to his sister.
"Why?"
"Because we left her and didn't take her with us," Ethan said, petting the rabbits head.
"We're sorry Queen Elizabeth. Mommy said we couldn't take you to Maw-we with us," Keiara said, pronouncing Maui incorrectly.
"Do you think daddy wanted to take us with him while he was gone all that time?" Kiah asked, and Ethan and Keiara looked at their sister.
"I dunno, but he said he really really misseded us," Ethan said, and Kiah and Keiara both nodded their heads in agreement.
"Mommy was sad while daddy was gone," Kiah said, just as Queen Elizabeth finally took a bite of the carrot.
"Yeah, but she's happy now," Keiara said, with a smile on her face.
"Then why was they making those funny noises yesterday?" Ethan asked and Kiah and Keiara shrugged their shoulders.
"Grownups are just weird," Kiah said, and Keiara agreed. They petted their rabbit while she ate the carrot.
"Do you think mommy and daddy will send me away when Elijah is born?" Ethan asked and Kiah and Keiara looked at their brother like he was crazy.
"No! Mommy always says that family is more important than anything and that family sticks together." Keiara told him with a smile on her face.
"Yup and your family Ethan…you stuck with us forevers." Kiah said leaning against her brother.
"Where did you munchkins run off too?" They heard their mother yell in the distance.
"Oh no! We have to put Queen Elizabeth back," Kiah said. Keiara quickly stood up but the rapid movement scared the poor rabbit. Quickly Queen Elizabeth jumped from her arms.
"Get her!" Keiara yelled as she started to chase after her. Queen Elizabeth quickly ran under the bed.
"I can get her!" Ethan yelled diving under the bed to get her.
"She's over there!" Kiah yelled as she watched the rabbit jump up onto the dresser. The kids chased the rabbit around the room with no success in catching her.
"What are the three of you doing in…here?" Their mother asked walking into the room and the rabbit quickly ran out of the door.
"Oh no!" All three of the children yelled as they watched the rabbit run out past their mother. Isabella placed her hand on her hip as she looked at her children. There was a loud crash followed by their father yelling,
"Damn it! Who let Queen Elizabeth out!"
Edward POV
I watched the damn rabbit run past me and I shook my head as Isabella and the kids all walked out into the living room. Isabella was smiling while all three of the kids were looking down at their feet.
"So which one of you let the rabbit out?" I asked them.
"I did," all three of them said making Isabella and I laugh. There was another crash behind me and I turn around to see the rabbit jumping down from the table by the front door.
"All right gang we have to catch her," I said slapping my hands together. Together we all chased the rabbit around the penthouse. I was really starting to regret ever getting this damn rabbit. Isabella stood off to the side, laughing whenever I would get close to Queen Elizabeth just for her to hop away before I could reach her.
Queen Elizabeth finally stopped just under the dining table. Slowly I walked up behind the rabbit and looked over at the kids. I winked at Isabella, placed my finger against my lips when and in my best Elmer Fudd voice I said,
"Shh I'm hunting wabbit." The kids started laughing making Queen Elizabeth run to hide under the couch. The girls giggled when I cursed under my breath. I walked over to the couch and lowered myself to the floor. I reached under the couch and I swear the rabbit was moving back further out of my reach.
"Daddy I can get her…" Ethan says and I turn to him.
"Really?"
"Yeah, I have little arms." He said holding up both of his arms. I waved him over to me and together we tried to get Queen Elizabeth.
"Come on queenie. We won't hurt you." Ethan said waving his hand under the couch. Slowly she came out from under the couch and Ethan tried to grab her. She slipped through his fingers and ran up the hallway.
"Go get her!" Kiah yelled as Keiara and Ethan started running up the hallway after the rabbit.
"Need help getting off the floor old man?" Isabella asked standing over me and I smiled up at her.
"Very funny Mrs. Cullen, Remind me again why we got that damn rabbit," I asked and she laughed holding her hand out to me. I took her hand but pulled her down into my lap making her laugh.
"Because you couldn't tell the girls no," Isabella said, laughing as I tickled her.
"Every time they let her out, something gets broken," I said and Isabella started playing with my fingers.
"True, but they love her."
"Yeah and I love them."
"Daddy we got her!" I hear Keiara yelling coming up the hallway.
"We got her! We got her!" Kiah yelled and I turned around to see Ethan with his little arms wrapped tightly around Queen Elizabeth. I kissed Isabella's neck and then helped her up so that I could get up. I walked over to the kids and took Queen Elizabeth out of Ethan's arms.
"I'm strong just like you daddy." Ethan said and I grinned at him.
"Good thing you are big man, or I would have still be chasing her down." I told him and he laughed hysterically.
"I'm going to put Queen Elizabeth back in the cage and then we are heading to the planetarium."
"Yay!" They all yelled as I headed for their bedroom.
~~~~~~~~~~FTI~~~~~~~~~~
"Daddy look that one looks like a butterfly," Keiara said pointing up at the stars. I smiled watching the smiles on the kids' faces as they looked up at the show that was playing.
"Daddy can we visit Saturn it's pretty," Kiah asked,
"No I want to visit Mars and all the aliens." Ethan said with a smile and I laughed knowing he only said that because Emmett told him Aliens were cool.
"Leave it to our children who have the world at their feet to want a different world entirely." Isabella says with her head resting on my shoulder.
"You spoil them…" I teased and she sat up and looked at me.
"Me? I'm not the one who brought them all a house before they were in kindergarten." She replied and I smirked at her.
"I have no idea what you are talking about Mrs. Cullen."
"Oh I think you do Mr. Cullen." Isabella replied, her gorgeous russet eyes glowing. I placed my hand on her stomach and Elijah started moving instantly. I smiled that he always seemed to know when it was my hand on her stomach.
"What do you want to do after this?" I asked her and she shrugged her shoulders.
"Let the kids decide." She said and I looked at her with a brow raised. We both knew that if the kids decided where we were going it was bound to be some place that we wouldn't have much privacy if any.
"They've been locked up in the house and can you remember the last time we went out and did something just the five of us?" Isabella asked and I honestly couldn't think of anything. Every time we went out Emmett or Seth wasn't far behind. Since the media found out I was home and charges were filed against Eric and Faith, we had no peace when we went out. So we avoided going out as much as possible. I turned the kids and asked,
"What do you guys want to do after this?"
"Daddy we're not guys we're girls remember…" Keiara said tapping me on my forehead and I laughed.
"I'm sorry sweetheart, what would you ladies and gentleman like to do after we leave here?" I asked them and they looked at each other as if having some private conversation.
"Can we go anywhere we want?" Kiah asked with her mother's smile.
"Yeah, like anywhere in the world?" Keiara added playing with my fingers. I was getting nervous at what they were about to say.
"Anywhere in the city of Chicago." Isabella told them and they pouted making me laugh.
"No outer space." Ethan said and I shook my head brushing my hand over his hair.
"No buddy no outer space." I told him and he inhaled a deep breath then his eyes went large as he looked at his sisters. When Kiah and Keiara looked at him their eyes lit up too as if they could read his mind.
Isabella and I always wondered if the girls had some private connection or language and I was really starting to think they must have let Ethan in on it too. They just looked at each other for a while then all turned to me wearing smiles on their faces and at the same time they said,
"The D & B place!"
"What D &B place?" I asked looking at them confused as hell and Isabella started laughing. Obviously she knew what the hell they were talking about.
"Dave & Busters, while you were—gone….Jake and Nahuel took the kids there and they had a blast." Isabella told me and I nodded my head still slightly confused what Dave and Busters was.
"So what is this place? It's not like chucky cheese is it?" I asked and the kids all giggled and laughed along with Isabella.
"Remember baby you promised them anywhere." She said before placing a kiss on my lips. I looked at my three children and my wife. I had a feeling that I was being set up somehow.
We left the planetarium and I followed the directions from the GPS on how to get to Dave and Busters. The kids were so damn excited I thought they were going to explode. I smiled at them in the rear view mirror. It didn't matter where we were going. As long as they kept that smile on their faces I knew it would be worth it. Isabella reached her hand over the console and grabbed my hand.
"It's times like this I feel like our life is at least a little normal." Isabella said. I looked over at her and brought her hand to my lips. When we arrived the kids started screaming before I even pulled into a parking spot.
"They are really excited about this…" I said placing the car in park.
"Baby you've really never been to Dave and Busters?" Isabella asked and I shook my head. Before Isabella there was a lot of things I never done. We traveled a lot when I was younger and it was always important to my parents to keep Emily, Bree and I out of the spotlight while growing up. Isabella smiled up at me.
"It's like chucky cheese but for adults." She told with a smile on her face.
"Really?" I asked with a brow raised. Isabella laughed opening her door and climbing out of the car. We got the kids out of the car and holding their hands we headed for the restaurant.
"Daddy we have to play basketball." Ethan told me and I smiled telling him that we would. The moment we walked through the door I could hear the screaming and laughter of children. I had no damn idea what to do so I followed Isabella as she got everyone their power cards. Every now and then I would see someone looking our way and taking second looks.
"Okay before we start playing, no running off without me or Daddy understood?" Isabella asked them and they all wore their best smiles as they said,
"Yes mommy."
"No fighting with each other either or we go home." Isabella continued and they all pouted with another,
"Yes mommy." I couldn't help smiling as I looked at the three of them. I kneeled down between them and looked up at Isabella when I said,
"Can we go play now mommy?" She smiled at me, her eyes shining and the kids laughed.
"Yeah let's go have fun Cullen's." Isabella said and the kids started cheering as they ran off. Isabella and I followed behind them. We played a few games with the kids and I was surprised at how competitive they were.
"We beat daddy, we beat daddy, we beat daddy." The Kiah and Keiara cheered of their win over me in Ice-Age Icebreaker. I grinned watching them do their victory dance Isabella taught them.
"Can we play basketball now?" Ethan asked and already pulling me towards the game. Isabella said something about her and the girls going to jump rope. I swiped the power card and it lit up as it released the basketballs. I placed Ethan on my shoulders and passed him the balls as he tossed them into the court. He missed the first few but screamed when the fifth ball went in.
When the backboard started moving Ethan told me to take the shots instead. Once the time was up I noticed that we formed a little of a crowd watching us. They cheered for Ethan and a few asked to take a picture with me.
I managed to get away with only signing autographs and Ethan and I walked away in search of Isabella and the girls. When I found them there was a little crowd around them as it looked like Kiah and Keiara was jumping over a light. With Ethan on my back I walked over to Isabella who looked away from the girls for a second to look at me.
"What are they doing?" I asked and Isabella laughed.
"Their jumping rope, they've been at it for a while now." Isabella said with a smile on her face. I watched the girls jump over the ray of light that was going under their feet. I was amazed at how well they were keeping up with them.
Holding hands they both wore huge smiles on their races while the mini crowd that formed started counting their jumps. I spotted some guy recording them with his cell phone and my nose flared.
"Isabella take Ethan." I told her already placing him in her arms.
"Edward's what's wrong?" Isabella asked pulling him against her chest and I looked over at the ass recording the girls.
"Oh for fucks sake. Edward please don't kill him." Isabella said and I nodded my head as I started walking over to the guy. I stood directly in front of his damn cell phone.
"Yo man get out of the way I'm trying…"
"…to get your ass kicked." I finished for him and he looked up at me with his brow raised. Then his eyes went large when he registered who the hell I was.
"I-I uh…"
"I can't make you delete that video but as their father I am going to ask that you delete it." I said trying to keep my cool. He looked at his phone, then back at me.
"What if I don't?"
"Then I'll have to kick your ass like the prick you are." I said hardly above a whisper. I pushed my hands into my front pockets and stepped a little closer to him.
"See to you those two little girls are a meal ticket, your shot at five minutes of fame for getting Edward Cullen's daughters on a little video clip. But to me-to me they are my little girls. And I will protect from assholes like you until the day I die. So either delete that video or star in someone else's video of me kicking your ass." I informed him and he inhaled a deep breath. He turned his phone towards me as I watched him delete the video from his phone.
"Thank you. Enjoy the rest of your day." I said walking back towards Isabella and the children. The girls smiles grew as I approached them.
"Did you see us jumping daddy?" Keiara asked me and I smiled as I picked her up.
"Yeah I saw you girls, you were both really awesome." I told them. They both blushed as they said,
"Thank you daddy." We continued to play the games and Isabella talked me into playing some game called Fruit Ninja. It was the craziest damn game I've ever played. I placed each of the kids in my lap allowing them to slice the fruit that popped up on the screen.
I couldn't think of the last time we had all been out and had this much fun. Just seeing the smiles on Isabella and the kids' faces as we played games was worth it.
I will admit I turned into a kid again when I saw the driving games. Ethan sat in my lap while the girls cheered on their mother when we raced against each other. When Ethan I won, we high fived each other while the ladies stuck their tongues out at us.
"Cheater Cheater pumpkin eaters." Kiah and Keiara chanted making me laugh.
"Come girls don't be a sore loser like your mother." I said with a grin tossed over their heads as I looked at Isabella.
"Later, you and me Mr. Cullen." Isabella said, her eyes shining.
"I look forward to it Mrs. Cullen." I replied making her blush. The next game Isabella challenged me to. The kids were apparently enjoying watching Isabella and I go against each other.
"I'm going to kick your butt in Pacman." Isabella says with a smile on her face and I looked over at her with a brow raised.
"You think so?" I asked her.
"Yes. I never told you I was the all-around champ in Pacman? Ask Ang and Jake. I've been kicking their butts since we were kids." She said as we sat down the kids standing between us. When the game started Isabella was apparently a trash talker while playing pacman. It still amazed me that I was always learning something new about my darling wife.
~~~~~~~~~~FTI~~~~~~~~~~
"But daddy I don't like eating carrots." Kiah said picking at her plate and I laughed sitting back in my chair.
"Kiah either eat the carrots or no dessert." I told her and she pouted pushing the carrots around on her plate. After we left Dave and Busters we headed home. It didn't take long for the media to figure out where we were. And it took them even less time to get good pictures of the five of us playing games.
What surprised me was some of the complete strangers who played interference so Isabella and I could get the children out.
Since we didn't have dinner there Isabella had made dinner here at home. Kiah was the only one who hadn't finished eating. The two of us had been sitting at the dinner table for the last hour because she refused to eat her carrots. Isabella, Keiara and Ethan were all watching a movie in the living room.
"I don't like carrots daddy," Kiah said, with a pout looking a lot like her mother. I sat back in the chair and kicked my left leg up over my right.
"That's too bad because mommy made it and you have to eat it,"
"Can I feed them to Queen Elizabeth? She likes carrots." Kiah asked and I couldn't help the laugh that erupted from my chest.
"No you cannot feed them to Queen Elizabeth. Kiah Rose Cullen we can sit here all night young lady, but you are going to eat those carrots," I told her and she gave me those puppy dog eyes. I saw the tears forming in them. She was pulling out the big guns now. She knew I was a sucker for her and her sibling's tears. I watched her pick up a carrot and then she placed it in her mouth.
Then she started gagging and I was up out of my seat patting her back to get that damn carrot out of my little girl. Who would have thought a vegetable could be dangerous? She finally spit it out and I thanked god.
"Kiah go ahead and watch the movie," I told her. There was no way I was about to tell her to finish her food now.
"I don't have to eat my carrots?" She asked looking up at me with her face red, and her eyes water.
"No sweetheart," I answered looking at the carrots as if I was ready to commit murder on them. Then her entire face changed. A smile spread across her face, she jumped up on the chair and placed a kiss on my cheek.
"Thank you, daddy!" She said with so much enthusiasm. Then she jumped down out of the chair and ran for the living room. I had this sudden feeling that my daughter just played the hell out of me.
"So did she actually finish her…never mind I see that she didn't," I heard Isabella say and I look up at her. She was smiling as she looked from me to Kiah's plate.
"She was choking and…"
"Yeah baby, she was only acting. I don't know where she got it from but that's how she gets out of eating the food she doesn't like. She got Jake really good with it." Isabella said as she walked over to me and picked up Kiah's plate off the table.
"Cheri, our little girl was choking…"
"No she wasn't baby. I think we might just have a really good actress on our hands." Isabella replied then placed a kiss on my lips before walking over to the sink. I still stood there shaking my head as I heard the garbage disposal cut on.
"I really thought she was choking…"
"I know. I keep telling she that she shouldn't play like that because if she was ever really choking no one would believe her." Isabella said standing at the sink and watching the little dishes that were there. I walked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist. I placed as kiss on her neck just as I felt Elijah move against my hand.
"Cheri I wanted to talk to you about something." I say into her ear and she leans back into my arms.
"About what?"
"Elijah's middle name," I answered and she turned around in my arms and lean against the sink.
"You want to change it?" She asked me. I knew what I had to say would surprise her since we agreed to name him Elijah after Carlisle and William as his middle name after Emmett.
"Change it or give him two middle names instead of one,"
"Um all right, what's the name?" She asked.
"Vincent. I feel fucking responsible for his death. If it wasn't for him I could have been the one who died that night and…" Isabella stopped me by placing a finger over my lips.
"I understand, but you have to remember baby none of it was your fault."
"I know but chéri…"
"…none of it Cullen." She told me sternly cutting me off. I nodded my head and she pushed her fingers into my hair.
"I think Elijah William Vincent Cullen sounds nice."
"It's a mouthfull." I said with a laugh.
"Says, Mr. Edward Anthony Masen Cullen." She replied and I laughed. I guess when I thought about it, it would make sense one of our children had four names like me. Isabella and I stood there looking at each other and the moment was soon filled with the laughter of the kids.
"Can we start house hunting tomorrow?" Isabella asked and I looked at her surprised.
"Seriously?"
"Yes. I think it would be best if we have the house before Elijah arrives."
"All right I'll call the realtor." I replied and she smiled her gorgeous damn smile at me. I rubbed her stomach, loving the feeling of Elijah moving under my hand. She rose up on her toes and placed a soft kiss on my lips.
"Tonight Mr. Cullen I will make up for us being interrupted this morning." She whispered against my lips. I couldn't have stopped the grin that formed on my face if I would have tried. She giggled a sound I rarely heard anymore as she walked away for the living room. I picked the phone up to call our realtor.
"Madison Stewart speaking."
"Hey Madison, it's Edward."
"Oh Mr. Cullen, hi how are you?" She said her voice more chipper than it was when she answered the phone. The woman loved when I called because she knew it meant a huge commission check was coming her way. It might have also had something to do with the fact that she adored Isabella.
"I'm doing better. How about you?"
"I can't complain. What do I owe the pleasure of this call?"
"Well Isabella and I have decided to sale the house here in Chicago and start looking for another."
"Wow, I never thought I hear you say that."
"Why's that?" I asked with a light laugh.
"I know how much she loved that house."
"Yeah I know but after everything that's happened I'm afraid Isabella doesn't see it as home anymore."
"I can't blame her. I'll be more than happy to help. Can the two of you meet me at the house tomorrow?" Madison asked and I told her that I could meet her there but that I knew Isabella wouldn't. We made an appointment to meet so that she could look at the house and get a general idea of how to go about selling it. I called Seth and Emmett next to let them both know, so that Emmett could go with me and Seth could stay with Isabella and the kids.
I walked into the living room to see Isabella sitting on the couch. Ethan had his head in her lap while she played with his hair. I loved watching her with the kids.
"Mommy if we were lost like Nemo would you swim the entire ocean to find us?" Keiara asked sitting at Isabella's feet.
"Of course, and I wouldn't stop until I found all of you…even if I had to fight a thousand sharks." Isabella said and all the kids started laughing. None of them understand just how serious she was.
"Not without me you wouldn't," I said making my presence known to the room. They all turned around smiling at me. I sat down next to Isabella and Keiara quickly climbed into my lap.
"Would you come looking for us too daddy?"
"Hell yeah I would!" I said making all the kids laugh again.
"Daddy you owe us one dollar." Kiah said with her hand out.
"What? Hell isn't a bad word," I said looking from them to Isabella. Who just simply shook her head at me.
"So we can say it?" Ethan asked and I realized then that they had me. I dug in my pocket and pulled out a dollar handing it to the little bank teller named Kiah. She ran for the bedroom where their swear jar sat, Keiara and Ethan following behind her.
"I bet we have a trillion dollars now," I heard Ethan say as they walked up the hall.
"Yeah if we see Uncle Emmett we could get even more." Keiara said, all three of them laughed. I looked at Isabella with shook on my face. My children were plotting to get more money for their swear jar, and worse of all they even knew who to get it from.
"Hey don't look at me, they get that from you."
"Me?"
"Yes you! I bet Keiara will be the next in line for Masen Corp if she keeps thinking like that." Isabella said laughing and I tickled her sides only making her laugh more.
"Keiara uh?"
"Possibly, unless you think it has to be one of our son's."
"You know I don't think like that love." I replied, she smiled placing her hand against my cheek.
"I know baby I was only teasing, but seriously have you ever given any thought to who the company will be left to." She asked and I sat back against the couch to look at her.
"What has been on your mind that has you thinking about this?" I asked her she shrugged her shoulders.
"Nothing really, it's just I know that if something was to ever happen to you it is to be left to me. But what if something was to happen to us both, whom hands will the company fall into."
"I never gave it much thought. It has to stay in the family that's for certain."
"Of course. Edmund worked hard to give the family a legacy."
"Yeah he did, but I don't want our children to feel obligated to do it because it is the Masen legacy. We are the Swan-Cullen family…and we have our own legacy to build." I told her and she started laughing.
"Swan-Cullen uh?"
"Yes Mrs. Cullen or have you forgotten your previous last name?" I teased and she giggled again. I really loved that sound coming from her.
"Alright so then what?"
"I guess I leave it in shares to the family. Let each of them do with it as they please."
"What if they want to sell it?" She asked and I knew there was always that possibility. I couldn't predict the future but I could try to avoid the family ever losing the company.
"That's why my love our children will have the largest shares. It will give a better chance to our family at least holding on to it."
"Not everyone will be happy with that," Isabella replied and I knew she was right, but I knew that no matter what choice I made someone would always be upset about my choice. I had faith that our children would make the right choices if they even possessed half of the heart their mother has.
"True, but our children have your fire and my determination and both of our stubbornness. Where there are only two of us now, there are four of them and the possibility of more." I replied with a grin on my face. I knew that we never really talked about more children after Elijah. Hell I knew that four for some people was already too many. I didn't see any real reason why we should stop. We had more than enough money, space and heart.
"Possibility of more?" she asked with a brow raised.
"Maybe one or two more." I said with a grin on my face.
"Edward that would be six children in total!" She shouted sitting up and I started laughing.
"I once knew a woman who had ten." I sort of half lied. I didn't really know the woman, but I knew about her. It was Jessica's grandmother.
"Liar!" She said laughing and falling back against my side.
"Ask Jessica, her grandmother had ten children."
"Yeah, yeah. We'll let god take control. If it is meant to be it will be."
"So is that a yes?" I asked with a huge stupid grin on my face and she giggled again.
"Oh no get her!" I heard Keiara yell and then I hear a loud crash. Before I could ask what broke Isabella and I was soon joined by Queen Elizabeth hopping around the living room. Isabella started laughing right away and I shook my head getting up from the couch.
I started chasing after the damn rabbit who as always slipped away. She went over by the bookcase and I ran over to grab before her before she broke the little statue Isabella had gotten from Greece two years ago. The damn rabbit jumped and I hit my head on the edge of the bookcase. I could hear the giggles of my wife and children.
"Let me see baby…" Isabella said now standing in front of me. She held my face between her delicate hands as she examined my head. I watched her face, always mesmerized by how beautiful she was.
"We can have more children, but we have to get another rabbit too." She said looking up at me and I laughed.
"You think this is funny."
"Yes, I love watching you chase after a rabbit. I find it hot." She teased, and I wrapped my arm around her pulling her tightly against my body as I devoured her lips which was soon followed but the "Eww" noises coming from our children.
~~~~~~~~~~FTI~~~~~~~~~~
We put the kids to bed, not surprised that it didn't take them long to fall right to sleep. I suggested taking a bath together. Truthfully I wanted to hold my wife's naked wet body against mine but it wasn't the only reason I suggested the bath. She would never complain while she was pregnant but I knew her back was killing her. I climbed into the tub first and settled myself in the water. I watched Isabella's robe fall down around her feet. I groaned taking in how beautiful she was standing in front of me. Her belly swelling with my child would always make me want her more if that was even possible. I held my hand out to assist her into the tub and she placed her hand in mine.
Jesus everything she did was turning me on. I don't think she would ever truly understand how serious I was when I said she owned me. I watched as she lowered her self between my legs. A soft moan left her lips as the water surrounded her.
"Feels good?" I asked and she moaned again leaning back into my chest. I wrapped my arms around her, pressing her soft body into mine.
"This was a really good idea." She said so low I hardly heard her.
"I thought you might need it."
"Well you were correct." She told me looking back at me over her shoulder. I looked into her eyes and saw the happiness residing in them. It was my job to make sure that it stayed that way. She went to turn back around and I placed my hand under her chin. Holding her face in hand I lowered my lips to hers and completely covered her mouth. Sweeping my tongue inside I ravished her hungrily. I felt her hand come up cupping my face as her succulent mouth opened wider giving me absolute permission to devour her the way I needed.
My breath came in gasps as I stroked my hand down her face and cupping her neck. I turned slightly in the tub so that she wouldn't be uncomfortable. I had never been more thankful for the size of this tub then I was right now. I pulled her closer to me, my erection begging for her.
"Edward…"She moaned softly and I knew what she wanted, what she needed. Our tongues danced intimately as I snaked my hand lower down her body. Worshipping her curves as my hand roamed over her body. Isabella made a mewling sound, deep in her throat as if from a cat purring. She wrapped her hand around my neck. Her fingers dug into the hair on the back of my neck.
My hand slipped between her smooth thighs. Isabella gasped in both shock and pleasure when I cupped her moistness then ran my fingers over the slick flesh of her womanhood. She groaned gripping my hair tightly in her hand. Her body started to quiver as I pushed my fingers inside of her. She was so hot and wet it caused me to groan deep in my chest.
"You feel so good chéri…" I whispered my tongue traced over the corners of her mouth. She whimpered as the walls of her canal gave way and her hot pulsing flesh clamped around me like a blood-sucking leech. I loved having this affect over her. I started working my fingers faster and deeper back and forth inside of her. The tip of my thumb strummed over her swollen clit.
Her head fell back as she enjoyed my fingers stroking her. I watched her face, her eyes shut tight, and her mouth slightly opened as soft moans escaped her lips. I knew she was close when her hips started bucking against my hand. I pushed my fingers deeper and strummed her harder and faster.
"Edward…baby I'm com…"
"Come, Isabella. I needed to see you come, chéri," I told her then covered her mouth needing to taste her. She fisted my hair as her hips rocked faster as she shattered in my arms letting ecstasy claim her.
"Have I told you I love you?" She asked, breathlessly. I laughed as I placed another soft kiss on her lips. Slowly I pulled my fingers from between her thighs.
"I love you too." I replied. I lend over to reach for her sponge. I washed her slowly and delicately, missing no part of her beautiful body. I shifted us in the tub so that I was facing her. Lifting her leg from the water she watched me as I wash her leg.
"I swear I don't deserve you…" She says with a smile on her face and I shook my head at her foolishness.
"That's stupid…" I replied and she looked at me with a brow raised.
"You think so?" She asked and I could see in her eyes she was teasing.
"I know so." I replied with a grin on my face as I switched to her other leg. For what felt like the longest moment she simply looked at me. Then gradually she pulled her foot from my hand. She rose up on her knees and my jaw went tight as I watched the water cascade down her body.
I wanted her so badly in that moment. The tub felt much bigger than I wanted it to be now. She felt too far away. Smiling at me she bent over and placed her hands palms down into the water. Then slowly I watched my little sex kitten of a wife crawl over to me in the water. I swallowed hard wanting to avoid embarrassing myself by drooling as I watched her.
"What are you up to Mrs. Cullen?" I asked her as she came up between my legs. I could feel her hands under the water as they slowly traveled up the length of my legs.
"I am proving myself worthy of the wonderful…" Kiss. "…amazing…"Kiss. "…sexy…" Kiss. "generous, selfless…" Kiss with tongue. She was trying to kill me. "…man that I am married to." She said as her hands reached my inner thighs. I was seconds away from begging her to touch me.
"You are more than worthy chéri…" I told her as I felt her hand wrap around my erection. My head fell back as a moan escaped my lips.
"I know you think so but I don't ever want you to think I don't appreciate you." She said placing hot kiss along my jaw, chin and mouth.
"Woman you are going to make me explode."
"Only in my mouth baby…" She moaned as her hand started to work my erection under the water. My eyes shut tightly while I enjoyed the pleasure she was causing inside of me. Faster her hand worked me over and I knew I wouldn't be able to hold on.
"Isabella…"
"I know baby. Lift up." She said and I don't know how but somehow I did as she requested. Before my hips were even completely out of the water her mouth was around my cock. My arms almost gave out on me as I held myself up. I moaned feeling her wet, warm mouth close completely around the head of my shaft. She started sucking me with a delicious sensuous rhythm that left my mind blank.
Isabella worked her mouth over me, taking in as much as she could. It was complete and pure rapture to watch her engulf me. Her mouth hot as she whispered and loved me in only the way she ever could and would. Back and forth, up and down. She teased and caressed and tortured me with her mouth and hands. When she would look up at me I almost came instantly.
"Fuck chéri I'm com…ing…" I growled as I felt my balls tighten, my cock pulse and my lungs constrict cutting off vital air. My body tensed as divine pleasure exploded through me. I heard her moan as he inhaled me. As I came down from my release I lowered myself back into the water and my darling wife wore a very proud smile.
"That has to be a record…" She teased and I laughed taking her hand and pulling her to me. I kissed her tasting myself on her tongue. She moaned holding my face to hers.
"Every day for the rest of our lives I will remind you that you are loved beyond recognition." She whispered against my lips. I needed her more in that moment than I've needed her in a long time. Holding her I stood up from the water. She giggled into my neck, wrapping her arms around my neck.
"Are you sure carrying me won't hurt your back old man…" She teased looking up at me and I smiled down into her face.
"Old man, I'll show you an old man." I said stepping out of the tub. Her eyes shining as she looked up at me.
"I look forward to it." She replied and I lowered my head to hers and placed a searing kiss on her lips. I walked us into our bedroom and placed her in the center of the bed.
"Our bed is going to be wet now…"Isabella said leaning up on her elbows. I leaned over her placing another kiss on her lips. Slowly I let my mouth descend down her body. Taking her nipple into my mouth and swirling it around as she watched me. I released her breast with a pop and grinned at her when I said,
"Yes, but by the time I get through with you it will be wet by something other than water…" I watched her take in a shaky breath and I continued my adventure down her body. I felt Elijah kick against my lips and we both laughed.
"Not tonight buddy, I'm tending to mommy." I said making her laugh. I continued placing kisses down her body pulling her legs up onto the bed. I placed a kiss on her hip and she moaned. The closer I came to her hot center the sweeter she smelled. Gripping both her thighs I inhaled her. Using my tongue I flicked it against her hard mound as her hips rose from the bed.
I sucked her citreous into my mouth causing her hands to quickly find my hair. I felt like a hungry man feasting on her. Using the muscles of my jaws, my teeth and my tongue I devoured her. She arched her back and dug her nails into my hair. Her body thrashed restlessly under me. She was always so damn responsive and intense it drove me wild with want and desire for her.
"Hmm baby I'm going to come…" She moaned and I looked up at her as I watched her licking her lips. Gripping her thighs, I pulled flush against my face and consumed her. I loved the smell radiating from her hot heat. I worked her over until she came violently, fisting my hair and growling in the darkness of the room. I thanked the high moon allowing me to see her.
I didn't need light to know that her entire body was flushed right now. Her breathing came fast as she started to come down from her release but I needed to taste her again. While still in the haze of passion my tongue made shocking contact with her opening making us both moan. I entered her with my tongue and ravished in her. When she came again she dripped from my mouth. Yes now I was pleased.
Lifting up from between her legs I smiled at her. I climbed into the bed and turned her on her side. Pulling her back against my chest I placed kisses along her neck.
"If you were trying to out due me you succeeded." She joked and I laughed turning her head towards me. She looked up at me her eyes still glazed over from her release.
"No cheri, I wanted to show you that YOU are loved beyond recognition." I said using her words. Her hand reached back for my face and we shared a kiss. The taste of the two of us mixed together how they should be.
"Make love to me Edward…" She moaned against my lips. Still on our sides I lifted her left leg up leaving her lower body open and visible to me. Together we watched as she guided me into her body. I grunted as I started to enter her. Shutting my eyes tightly as her body enveloped me. I released her leg and she grew tighter around me. I wanted to take this slow, savor every delicate thrill of her tight body encasing my rock, hard wanting shaft.
I wanted to hear every sigh, every infinite sob, and every moan, growl and groan that came from her gorgeous mouth. I wanted to watch her face as I made love to her. Look into her eyes as I reconnected our bodies over and over again.
"Hmm just like that baby…" She moaned licking her lips as she rocked her hips back against me. I gripped her breast into my hand. Pinching and teasing her nipple as I pushed into her repeatedly.
I don't know what Isabella had done to me, but I was hers for eternity. I surged fluently into her pushing and pounding into her. The eagerness in me of wanting to be completed by her.
It was a rawness I only felt with her.
A passion where I was more than just myself, I was whole.
I was completed by her, we completed each other.
"You own me chéri…fuck you own me…" I growled against her ear. Her whimpers filled the room as she reached back for me. I captured her mouth and my tongue swerved into her mouth as I began to move possessively inside of her.
Again and Again I slammed into her, rotating my hips and flexing the muscles in my body. The sensual heat of ageless mating, would forever consume me when I was with her. If I could remain hard, hot, flesh to flesh inside of her I would never leave. This was love, pure and explosive and for the rest of our lives I will show her how grateful I was for her staining my Armani suit that first day we officially met. Time itself felt as if it stopped when she exploded around me.
"Oh god more…Edward more please…" She moaned rocking harder against me. Lifting her leg again I slammed up into her. Her cry of pleasure rung in my ears. She gasped continuously matching the masterful, powerful trust I made into her body. I wanted her to be aware of every millimeter, of my thick length. I wanted her to feel every muscle, every ripple as I pumped in and out of her.
Her hand covered mine holding her thigh, gripping my fingers. I could feel the sweat forming on us urging me to continue. I filled her, let myself get lost in simply feeling her.
"Don't stop…faster…" She moaned biting down on her lower lip. I lifted her leg a little higher and pounded into her. Growling as I knew that ecstasy was about to claim us both. Her nails dug into my hand as she moaned my name. I couldn't get deep enough, I couldn't move fast enough. I felt the sharp jolt of my release shoot up my spine. I held it, I had to. I needed her to come.
"Come Edward…"
"Not before you…"
"Come baby I'll follow…" She said taking my balls into her hands.
"Aww fuck Isabella what are you doing to me?" I groaned into her neck. Then I felt her clinch around me, milking me.
"I'm loving you…" She said then slammed back against me causing me to slam up into her. Gripping her thigh tighter than I meant I fell into the pleasure abyss that was my wife.
"Aww yessssssssssss..." She moaned as I felt her body tighten and milk me as she came. I held her to me afraid that she would vanish from my arms. My body shook as I gave into her. Our breathing matched as we tried catching our breaths.
"Do you think they would put death by orgasm on a death certificate?" I asked and she giggled making me groan because I felt it. We laid there for a while before deciding we should go to sleep. I climb out of bed and grabbed a pair of sleep pants and gave her my t-shirt and a pair of underwear. As much as I would have loved sleeping naked with her, I knew the children would be come in the morning. After we climbed under the covers and I pulled her against my body.
"Thank you…" I heard her say softly.
"For what?"
"Today. It was perfect. We haven't had one of these kinds of days in a long time." She said pulling my arm tighter around her body. I placed a kiss on her neck.
"Then I'll work to make sure we have many more of them. Sleep chéri we only have a few hours before the kids wake us." I told her and soon we both let sleep claim us.
What do you have to say about the chapter?
