Finding Love Again
Chapter 24
A/N: I do not own anything Stephanie Meyers, 'cause if I did some of those characters would never leave my room... XD
A/N: This one is longer than my usual chapters. Please do enjoy. ;P
The past few weeks seemed to have to just sped by. Almost felt like it shouldn't be July 2nd yet, but with the kids done school for the summer now, it was very real. Annie was now home babysitting her sisters while Bella had a chance to put in fours hours a day at the hospital. Bella was sitting at her desk in the hospital filing some medical bills for Jane.
" Hello darlin'.", Jasper drawled. He was on his rounds and popped by Bella's office. " How's the day treatin' ya?"
" It's good be out of the house, although I wish I could spend more of the summer sunshine outside with our girls. Good news though, James came to me and told me my ultrasound appointment is tomorrow at 11:00am.", Bella was excited. Jasper and her discussed that they definitely wanted to find out what they were having. She could swear that she was feeling little kicks everywhere.
Jasper smiled and said, " That's great darlin'. Ya know I'm not gonna miss that suga. I gotta go, I'll pop by so we can do lunch before ya go home."
" Okay Dr. Whitlock, see you in a couple hours. Love you.", Bella blew him a kiss. She nearly forgot to change her name on payroll. She talked to Jane about the name change once again. This time it wasn't going to change, Isabella (Bella) Whitlock is how she was now known. They had also legally changed all of their daughters last names to Whitlock, even though they had considered keeping them known as Cullen-Whitlock, but after Annie showed her strong distaste for the Cullen last name it was decided to drop Cullen all together. With Marie and Erica really too young to understand why their last name was being changed, they settled for that it was to match mommy and daddy's last name.

" Bella Whitlock here, what can I do for ya?", Bella answered her phone.
" I'll have to get used to that, though it does certainly have a good ring to it. My importance of this call today my dearest Bella, is to inform you of the court procedings against Caius and Tanya.", informed Aro. " The judge has sentenced Caius to ten years in Volterra Prison, and as for Tanya, she has been sentenced to a mental health facility in London for women. Tanya's sentencing could change depending on her length of stay in the rehabilitation mental health facility. Also, all of their financial assets have been either frozen or put into the financial trust of one Isabella Renee Volturi Swan Whitlock. My dear Isabella, it will be up to you to decide what to do with that money but no sooner than ten years from now."
Bella went all silent. She couldn't believe she had millions and millions of money in a trust for her to decide on what to do with in ten years from now. " Uncle Aro? Is this true? I can decide on what to do with that shitload of money? Would that mean that I don't even have to relinquish a single penny of it back to Caius or Tanya?"
Aro laughed, " Yes my dear, that is entirely up to you. I trust you will make a very wise decision when the time comes. Bella, I must attend to business. Please give my love to your family. Ciao Bella." Aro hung up.
Bella sure had a lot to talk to Jasper over lunch about. This is crazy. She continued to file the medical bills, and in no time, Jasper was back waiting to go to lunch.
" Hey darlin'. Ya ready?", Jasper asked.
She nodded her head yes. " Cowboy, let's get some grub." She put her arm through his, and off they walked to the diner. " Guess what?"
He looked over at her, " What?"
" Uncle Aro phoned me with plenty of news. In fact it was about Caius's and Tanya's court decisions. Caius has been sentenced to ten years at Volterra Prison in Italy, and Tanya to a mental health facility. Aro put all of their financial assets frozen and in trust of me. I can do what I wish with the money and assets but no earlier than ten years from now. Can you believe it?", Bella gushed.
" My my my, Bella that sure sounds like a heck of a lot of dough. Any ideas on what ya might do with all that cash?", Jasper chuckled.
" Nope. Not a single idea. Honestly, we don't even need the money, like never ever.", Bella bit into her extra spicy chicken burger. She moaned at the taste, and had some of the spicy sauce drip out the corner of her mouth. Jasper leaned over and licked it off.
" Mmmm, that sauce is good. I'm gonna be late tonight. I was asked to cover for Carlisle until midnight. Sorry darlin', ya don't have to wait up for me.", Jasper kissed her quickly and after they finished their meals, they walked back to her 'stang and she drove home.
Bella parked her car in the garage and walked in the side entrance. She saw the kids swimming in the pool, and figured she'd go put on a bikini and get in the pool too to relax. So what if her belly was round, she was comfy.
So what did you girls do today?"
Rose came out wearing a tankini top with a skirted bikini bottom to join them in the pool. It wasn't a scorcher, so she wanted to enjoy the sun too. " Ahh, this feels sooo goood. Almost better than..."
" Aunt Rose, if you continue that, I'm gonna blow chunks.", Annie cut her aunt off. Bella and Rosa started to laugh at Annie. " Mom, is it alright if Leah sleeps over tonight? She said she'd help me babysit tomorrow."
Bella chuckled, " You really have to ask honey?"
" Good, 'cause she's on her way here with Seth and this new guy she's started dating Ben. I'm gonna get out and wait out front for them.", Annie got out and grabbed a towel.
" Ahh teenage love. Her birthday's next week and wants to have her party here. She asked if she could invite the football team and their 'dates', 'cause she's friends with everyone. That means all the cheerleaders will be here too. Aye aye aye. Maybe I'll take Erica and Marie to the ranch for the night with Jasper. You guys gonna be alright here with a bunch of teenagers? Maybe I should ask Jake to 'bounce' this party too? Yeah, I'll ask him at the BBQ in a few days.", Bella was starting to get worried that she had such a beautiful young lady, and growing up fast. Next year will be Annie's 'Sweet 16th' and she already knew what to get her, or what to give her.
Rose smiled, " Yeah, Em and I will chaperone these punks. No one will mess with this mama. Asking Jake would probably be a great idea. Those two men would scare the daylights outta anyone." Bella and Rose cracked up.
" Mama, can you make us a snack. All this swimming is makin' us hunnngry.", Erica asked.
" Sure thing sweeties. I'll go cut up some fruit and maybe some cheese and crackers. How's that sound?", Bella got out of the pool and headed into the kitchen. She cut up some pineapple, oranges, and a bunch of grapes, and placed them in a big bowl. She placed some Triscuits and Ritz crackers along with some havarti cheese on a plate. Bella brought them out side onto the patio table, and the girls all grabbed towels to wrap around themselves.
" Mama, I wuv grapes and crackers.", Marie popped a couple grapes into her cheeks and she looked like a chipmunk.
" Easy Marie, we don't want you choking.", warned Bella.
Rose popped a chunk of pineapple into her mouth and moaned. " These are soo good." Bella did the same. Didn't take much these days to make her moan. Food was not an issue anymore, thank God. She wasn't over eating either.
" So, tomorrow, we have our ultrasound and I'm so excited. Jas and I decided we do want to know what we're having. The ultrasound tech is going to do a cool 3D one so we will definitely know. After that, do you want to go do shopping for the BBQ on Thursday?", asked Bella. Rose told she'd love to get out for a little while, and she loved to shop. Didn't matter if it was for food or clothes or anything at all.
Annie and her friends came around the corner. They put their bags on the deck and stripped down to their swimsuits and jumped into the pool. " Hey Bella and Rose. Hey Erica and Marie!", shouted the teens. " Are you ladies coming back in after your yummy snacks?", asked Leah.
" Nah, you kids enjoy yourselves. I'm gonna put on a movie for Erica and Marie. I need a nap and that would be perfect for them.", Bella told Annie and her friends.
" You sure? We would be alright to watch them so you can nap upstairs mom. We really don't mind. How about for an hour or so, and then I'll come wake you.", Annie wanted to make sure her mom was getting enough rest nowadays.
Rose nudged Bella. " Go on, take a nap. Em's gonna be home soon, so I'll stay out here or inside and get supper started." Bella thanked her and Annie and headed upstairs to her and Jasper's bedroom. She couldn't stop yawning, so she went to use her bathroom and got under her covers.
" Bells, hey sis. Wakey wakey sunshine. Supper's ready, and Rose's getting the kids plates ready. Annie came up here an hour ago, but didn't have the heart to wake you. Did you know that you snore pretty loudly?", Emmett teased Bella. She lightly smacked his arm, and he feigned as if he was really hurt. Bella told him she'd be down in a few minutes. He walked out, and she headed to the washroom. After she was done relieving herself, she through on a sundress over her bikini.
" Oh my God look what the cat dragged in. Get a good nap we hear?", Rose laughed. Bella stuck out her tongue and nodded yes.
Rose made spaghetti, garlic breadsticks and a tossed garden salad for supper. Food enough to feed this little army. She even put a plate away for Jasper for when he got home later that night. No one ever starved in this huge household. Everyone thanked Rose for cooking, and took their dishes to the kitchen rinsed them off and placed them into the dishwasher.
" Thanks a bunch Rose. Pasta is always a crowd pleaser.", Bella was really glad to have her brother and sister-in-law living with all of them now. It was seriously like the 'Brady Bunch' or 'Eight is Enough' around there now. Once the dishwasher was started, Rose and Em disappeared to their 'quarters' for the night. Annie and her friends went downstairs to the entertainment room and watched movies, leaving Bella to get Erica and Marie bathed and off to bed.
Bella wasn't tired yet, and decided to head outside into the hot tub for a while a little after 9:00pm. She heard the front door chime, and knew that Jasper was home. " I'm out here cowboy.", she called out to him, once she saw him through the patio windows in the kitchen. She saw him heat up his plate of food, grab a cold beer from the fridge, and then he strutted outside where he placed his plate on the table with his beer. Jasper walked over to the hot tub, leaned over the edge and kissed Bella's cheek.
" How ya feelin' darlin'?", Jasper asked between bites of pasta. " You look cozy in there. I think I should hurry up and com'in join ya."
" I'm just perfect. Wish you were done supper, so you could lay back in the bubbles with me under the stars. It really is beautiful tonight.", Bella sipped on her iced tea. Jasper kept looking at his wife while finishing his plate of food. Once he was done, he pushed back from the table and walked over to the hot tub unbuttoning his shirt the walk there.
Jasper drawls, " Darlin', are the kids sleepin', ya know the ones in the basement?" She shakes her head no. " Oh, well, I guess I shouldn't be doin' this then." He unbuckles his buckle, pops the button on his work cargos, and slides them down his legs. Jasper then slid down his boxers, and stepped into the hot tub. " Mmm, you're right darlin', this does feel niiice. Why dontchya scoot forward, so I can slip behind ya?" She moved forward enough to feel him and his hardness pressing into her lower back.
" How's that Jasssperrr?", she purred into his ear as she leaned back against his wet bubbly chest. He reached around her with both arms. One across her breasts, the other reaching lower past her navel. " Now, that feels..." She was cut off when he started kissing along her neck and jawline. Bella turned her head towards her husband so that she could taste his lips on hers. They both moaned as their tongues fought for dominance. She began to grind her ass against his erection, then leaned forward as he began nudging her with his erection. Jasper grabbed his stiff cock with one hand as Bella positioned herself at his tip. Bella then slid down onto his erection and once she had adjusted to his size, she rocked and swiveled her hips leaning back against his slick body.
" Darlin', allow me, don't move.", he held her at the hips and thrust quickly into her. One hand found her clit and rubbed fiercely as she was panting on top of him.
" Harder babe, harder! Mmm...oooohhhh...yeah...riiiight...I'mmm...Jassssp pperrrr!", she yelled his name coming all over his cock. He thrust three more times and was screaming her name too. They came down from their highs and then stepped out of the hot tub and towelled off. After locking up, the two lovebirds headed up to their room. Jasper took her hand and they stepped into a quick shower to wash off. They slipped under their covers, and fell asleep.
A few hours later, Jasper thought he was having an erotic dream about Bella and another unknown female. He was clearly part of a 'Jasper' sandwich, and could swear he was about to cum. Jasper was about to roll over, but could feel sucking and tugging at his cock and balls. He peeked open and looked at the sight below his navel. " Mmm, darlin', I looove ya." She smiled up at him still bobbing his cock in and out of her mouth. Bella could tell that he was close so she stopped and quickly lowered herself on to his stiffness. Both moaned simultaneously. He met her thrust for thrust and she leaned forward so he could captured her tits in his mouth.
" Cowwwboooy, I never...want...to...stop...fucking...your...dick.. .I'mmm...", she came all over his cock and he deep into her pussy.
" I love ya pussy darlin'. No other pussy for this cowboy. I think we should catch a few more zzz's though.", he kissed her good night, and she rolled off of him to snuggle into his side.
