Chapter 24 (Recap).
Months past…
During the last few months I helped promote the maternity line, and Edward the men's department. Finally with my seven month big belly and Edward as handsome as ever we got comfortable in the airplane seats. We were finally going home well as close as home as we could get. We were waiting for takeoff as this plane that would take us to New York where we will get on a transfer plane that will that us to Utah were we will again transfer to another plane that will take us to California.
So California we are coming home.
Once the plane landed I felt a weight left from my shoulders but as we walked out of the airport into the sunny California air I felt a different weight being put on my shoulders. It's amazing what a year, a little less than a year can do to people I mean I can hardly see my feet anymore. Okay that s a lie I can't see my feet anymore my belly is making me feel like a whale. Edward and I got into our designated car that is taking us to the house Jim and Carter have decided would be a great home for us.
Soon we pulled up to a cute simple looking two story house in a private gated community. Once we got out Carter came running out.
"Oh Bella baby, look how big you are." Carter asked.
"Uh, thanks grandma, way to make me feel pretty," I reply sarcastically looking at my huge belly. "I mean I can't see my feet as it is no need to make me feel even worse about it."
"Oh hush girl you look great being eight months pregnant," Carter spun me around to get a good look at me while Edward and Jim took our bags into the house.
"Dear would you mind bringing the girl in, I know you missed her as did I but get her out of the heat will you." Jim called from the doorway.
"Alright honey, alright. Let's show you around I decorated the whole house I think it looks wonderful but I want to know what you think." With that I was dragged into the house. She showed us each and every room along with explaining what she thought about this and that for the room and if I wanted to change something. The main floor held a living room, kitchen, office, bathroom and the outside held a swimming pool with a hot tub connected to a beautiful patio and backyard. The top floor held three bedrooms, one as the baby's room the other two as guest rooms, along with the master bedroom with a in suite bathroom, two other bathrooms. What surprised me was that there was a basement and the basement had been converted to a hang out place, in one corner there was a table island like thing that held candy, a hot dog cooker, fondue maker, a cotton candy maker, a popcorn maker, and of course a drink bar full of nonalcoholic drinks. Another corner was filled with movies and games for different game systems. In the middle of one wall there was a fireplace with a 52" flat screen TV on top of that, with theater chairs in front of it.
"Wow, grandma, grandpa this is too much we can't accept this," I reply as we settle into the seats that were in the living room.
"Yes you can, and you will." Jim answered leaving no room to argue so we nodded.
"Thank you," Edward and I said at the same time.
"You're welcome now let us tell you how it's going to work here." With that Carter and Jim told us what time we were to be at work, what hours we will work, when I take maternity leave that is a leave of abstains so my contract is put on hold until I am qualified to go back to work. They left soon after they finished explaining everything, the one that irritates me is that we are not allowed to talk to any family or friends until at least two week after the baby is born.
Life went on Edward and I settled nicely into our new home and routine. Everything was working out well I thought.
June 23. 4:23 a.m.
"Oh, this isn't good." I moan as I walk back into the bedroom from have my water break in the bathroom and contractions hitting me every 30 minutes. "Edward!"
"Umm." He hummed a response, "It's too early go back to bed."
"Well Edward you tell your child that wants to come in this world it is to early so that I can sleep, but considering I am having contractions we need to get moving!" I answered a little harshly back. That statement had Edward jumping out of the bed.
"oh my god, oh my god," Edward mumbled running around the room like a lunatic, "Hold in there, baby, we are going to get you to the hospital in no time, I just need to find the overnight bag, oh found it." He put on some shoes and helped me downstairs. "Oh shit I forgot the keys babe I will be right back hold on."
"Like I would go anywhere anyways," I answered as I sat uncomfortable in the smoky grey 4-door ford truck that we bought together. Ugh why in the world did we get a truck again, oh yeah because it was the only vehicle that we could agree on. "Can we go now?" I growled out as another contraction hit me.
"Yes, yes we are going, breathe in, breathe out. " Edward said as he pulled out of the gated community that we live in and headed to the hospital. "In, out. In, out."
"You're not helping here! Just get to the damn hospital!" I growled out harshly as a particularly bad contraction hit. The rest of the ride was quiet except the occasional cuss or moan of pain from me the contractions were coming faster. Thankfully we were at the hospital not to long after we left the house which I couldn't wait for so of the pain medication cause the pain was well painful. The nurses swarmed around me getting me into a wheelchair and wheeling me away to a birthing room, Edward right on the nurses heels with the overnight bag in hand.
"Well Mrs. Mason- oh my bad Mrs. Cullen, I'm doctor Curtis and I well be delivering your baby." A doctor in the standard blue scrubs said. "Let's check how far along you are." With that he took a look down there, "Well we are pretty far dilated, so we can't give you any pain medication since you are dilated to a 6 almost a 7."
"You have to be kidding me! I can't have any pain medication?" I asked just as another contraction hit.
"Sorry ma'am but the medication wouldn't kick in soon enough I say you will be having this baby within an hour or less. I will check on you in a little while, try to relax." I tried to concentrate on my breathing and the soap opera that Edward had turned it onto.
"You should call Jim and Carter honey," I tell Edward as we wait for me to be dilated.
"Okay I will be right back," Edward than stepped out of the room to the nurses' station to call Jim and Carter. He came back within a few minutes , within a few more minutes Jim and Carter arrived.
"Oh dear! You are in labor I am so excited!" Carter could barely keep her voice at a reasonable level. "Bella dear how are you doing?"
"I'm alright, my back hurts," I complained a little. Soon the doctor came back in and said that it was time to push.
"On the count of three push, one, two," Doctor Curtis counted, "Three." I pushed with all my might screaming. "Okay again." I waited until the count of three and pushed.
"Edward I am cutting your balls off," I hissed through the pain of pushing, "We are never having another kid!" I hiss again as I pushed his child out.
"Congratulations you have a son," Dr. Curtis announced to us as I squeezed the life out of Edwards hand.
"You did great babe, we have a son, I'm so proud of you," Edward kissed me.
"I'm still thinking of cutting you balls off," I whispered just as the nurse handed me a beautiful baby boy. He has brown hair with auburn mixed into it, chubby cheeks, with beautiful green eyes and slightly full lips a perfect blend of Edward and I. "Hi there, I'm your mommy."
"And I'm your daddy," Edward said as he leaned over and rubbed his finger across our boy's cheek.
"He is adorable Bella, Edward what are you going to name him?" Carter asked leaning on the other side of me to take a look at our son.
"Well, we thought about it and we decided on, Jace Charles Mason Cullen." Edward announced the boy in my arms name.
"I think we should head home and get changed and all that and bring some real food for Edward. We will be back you need your rest Bella. Love you Bells." Jim said as my eyes were drooping.
"Love you guys thanks for being here." I replied handing Jace over to Edward.
"You're not really going to cut off my balls are you Bells?" Edward asked in a whisper as our son slept in his arms.
"Naw, Edward if we make that beautiful boy just imagine what our little girl will be, " I tease, "Seriously though I would love to have a little girl." I smile as I drift off into sleep. A few days later we were released out of the hospital, it was the first day Jace Cullen got to see the sun and be in the fresh air.
The next two weeks were interesting to say the least, waking up at the most unusual times to food, change, or just hold a crying Jace. Life with a child is a lot harder than you would think, I am on maternity leave while Edward still has to go into work every morning at 9. It is hard being teenage parents, we are still going over our class material although I can't what grade material it is the agency gave us both our junior and senior year material. So our day would go like this, first we would take turns in the morning tending to Jace, than we would get up at 8 o'clock get ready for the day, Edward would leave for work while I would plan my to do list for the day, along with working out for two hours sometimes more. Edward would get home at 4 o'clock we would cook dinner together, studying school material after dinner, than we would get ready for bed, it is a very log day.
It wasn't long before we got the chance or more like were allowed to visit family and friends. We decided we should go talk to Edwards parents first as they would most likely me the most calm out of everyone we need to inform of our umm… new addition to the family. Carter said she would watch Jace for us while just Edward and I talk to his parents she would be at park down the street from the Cullen's house and when I called will bring Jace over.
"Are you sure I look okay? Not to fat? Maybe I should wear that other outfit," I said as I turned in front of our mirror in jeans and a t-shirt that hugged my new craves but I feel like I look fat.
"Babe, I promise you look great, you just had a handsome little boy you're not going to be just like you were before you got pregnant. " Edward told me standing next to me. "I think your perfect."
"Ugh, okay fine, "I turned away from the sight I saw in the mirror, "Thanks babe, let's go."
"Kay let's go." We walked out to the truck and started toward Edward's parents as Carter picked Jace up earlier. The car ride over was funny because Edward told me stories of his childhood.
"Here we are," Edward said excitedly, he hasn't seen his parents for almost a year. "Let's go in, " We got out and he immediately grabbed my hand as we walked up the steps leading to the front door of Edwards childhood home.
Knock. Knock.
I felt my heart start to hammer at the sound of Edward knocking on the door, here I was going to meet his parents for the first time, yet I am already married and had a son with their son and we are well okay I am still 17 and Edward is only 18. What are his parents going to think of me? I squeezed Edwards hand for comfort when the door started to slowly open up.
"Hello?" A mothering voice called as the door opened, a caramel haired woman was the person who opened the door, I looked at her eyes and were met with the emerald green that I have grown to love, immediately knowing this is his mother. "Edward?"
"Hi mom," Edward replied with a huge grin on his face about as big as the first time he saw Jace.
"OH! Edward my baby!" she threw herself into a huge. "Come in, come in."
"Esme, honey, what is going on?" a tall man with blonde hair, and blue eyes walked down the stairs to where we are at standing in the foyer. "Edward!" The two men hugged while Mrs. Cullen-oh wait I am Mrs. Cullen too- Esme held tears in her eyes neither one noticed I was there yet.
"Dad," Edward sounded relieved to see both of his parents.
"Let's go to the living room you can tell us everything in there," Mrs. Cullen- ugh, Esme said. They started to head to the living room but I bit my lip and stayed back nervous. That was until Edward reached behind him to where I was hiding and grabbed my hand, leading or more like dragging me with him to the living room, and pulled me to sit next to him on the couch.
"Oh my, who are you?" Esme asked as her and Mr. Cullen got confused looks on their face.
"Oh, umm, I am Isabella Swan-Volturi but you can call me Bella." I introduced myself. "It's nice to meet you Mr. and Mrs. Cullen."
"It's nice to meet you too Bella," Esme replied.
"Please dear call us Carlisle and Esme." Carlisle Cullen Edward's father told me.
"Uh, mom, dad, Bella just kind of lied to you," Edward said smugly, his parents looked confused as did I.
"What are you talking about?" We all asked at the same time.
"Well mom, dad I would like you to meet Isabella Marie Swan Volturi Mason-Cullen, why Bells you have a long name, in short this is Bella Mason-Cullen my wife," Edward announced while I put my head in my hands.
"What you got married?" Esme asked.
"Yes while we were on that mission," Edward explained.
"Oh" Esme asked.
"Will you explain please son?" Carlisle asked, with that Edward explained what happened on our mission and all that leaving out the part where I got pregnant and that good stuff. "Okay so you two are legally married?"
"Yes we are legally married, since we could not back out of the wedding ceremony on the cruise without blowing our cover. We could get a divorce if we wanted but we realize that it would be mess and well we do love each other." I answered.
"That is so sweet," Esme sighed.
"Excuse me for a moment," Edward said than slipped out of the room, so here I am left by myself with my in-laws that I have never met before.
"So sweet tell me where do you work that is if you have a job?" Esme asked, great here comes the questions.
"I work with the CIA, and for 'La Rosa' Fashion Corp. with Edward. I am still in school though so it will be different." I answered.
"What is your favorite hobby? " Carlisle asked.
"Well umm, I don't really know, I mean I like soccer, I do cheerleading with my cousins, I have always done karate any type, and I surfer." I answered.
"Mom, dad, please don't interrogate Bella," Edward spoke up from the entryway.
"Dear we weren't interrogating the poor girl we are just curious we want to know our daughter-in-law." Esme replied to Edwards words.
" Sure you weren't mom, anyways if you want to know her story you can just ask." Edward replied.
"Of course son, Bella-" Ding dong, Carlisle was interrupted by the doorbell. "Now who could that be?"
"I will get it." Edward and I said at the same time. We went to the door and found my grandmother Carter standing there with Jace in her arms, I grabbed Jace while Edward grabbed the diaper bag and baby carrier.
"Thank you grandma for watching him," I thanked her.
"Yes thank you Carter." Edward says.
"Oh it was no problem and Edward honey call me grandma since after all I am now." Carter tells us. "Now I must get back to work call me later."
"Ready to do this?" I asked Edward biting my lip, Edward nods slowly. He puts down the baby stuff and I walk behind him so that they don't see Jace yet.
"Is everything alright?" Carlisle asks, Edward nods, "Well who was at the door?"
"It was Bella's grandmother, anyway umm, we need to tell you something," Edward starts, "You see while we were on our mission we-this is awkward- we umm had sex okay, well Bella got pregnant."
"You got Bella pregnant! You are still in high school, how far along is she? What were you thinking? Do you have any plans for your future now?"Carlisle and Esme asked at the same time.
"Well you see um, Carlisle, Esme, we would like you," I took a deep breath, "to meet," I stepped out into their view, "Jace Charles Mason Cullen."
"Oh he is so adorable." Esme gushed as she saw the deep emerald green eyes that were just like her own. "What do you think honey?" She asked Carlisle as he just stood there.
"I don't know what to think, I am proud that they decided to take responsibility for their choices, and I will admit that this choice is a cute one. But I have to know what are you going to do?" Carlisle finally answered.
"We are sorry if you are disappointed in us, we were being careful but it was our wedding night on the cruise that we-I got pregnant. We have decided we are going to be a family, we have a house, a vehicle, and jobs so we will be okay. " I explained.
