Chapter Recap......

"Are you going to be with me today for Alice's wedding planning?" I asked. He nodded.

"You will not be alone." He said. I smiled and took his hand. He caressed my knuckles with his thumb as I finished my breakfast.

"Oh and I have to go home sometime to pick up the bed's delivery." I said. He nodded as I picked up my plate and went to the sink to wash it. Edward came up behind me as I did. I turned in his arms and wrapped my arms around his neck. He leaned down and kissed me but before it could go too far, someone clapped their hands. We looked up to see Alice with her hands on her hips.

"C'mon you two we have so little time and so much to do." She said. I rolled my eyes and moved out of Edward's arms and followed Alice. I didn't know what was planned for today, but this was the first day in a long time that I had felt perfectly completely happy. And as I looked at Edward I knew it had everything to do with him.

Chapter 29: Bliss

EPOV

I sat beside Bella, her hand in mine as I lightly stroked her knuckles. I wasn't really listening to what Alice had been saying, I had only been gazing at Bella. She looked breathtaking, as usual, in a loose aquamarine mini dress that showed off her smooth long legs, which were crossed in front of her. My eyes kept on sliding up and down them, lingering on her tattoo, the tattoo that proclaimed her love for me. 'And so the lion fell in love with the lamb ~ E&B'.

Everything about her was perfect, even that tattoo made her even more perfect. My eyes flew up to her face, and her long luscious hair. It was flowing around her shoulders, curly and messy, but still sexy. I reached up clutch a strand of it in my fingers when I heard Alice call my name.

"Edward what do you think?" She and Bella were both turned to look at me. I looked into Alice's mind.

"I hope he says yes to them doing their own vows, it would be so perfect and sweet." I smiled at that idea. Our own vows was perfect.

"Yes Alice, I think that's a great idea. It would help me be able to convey how much I really love Bella. I'm pretty sure only my own vows would be able to do that." I said and Alice smiled in agreement.

"Good." She said as she quickly wrote it down on her small notepad.

"Alice I think you already know that me and Edward have decided to have the wedding sometime in July, after school is finished."Bella said as I continued to caress her hand. She squeezed my hand lightly to let me know she was completely aware of it.

"Yes, I know. The second you guys decided it last night, I knew. Also why don't you want an engagement party?" Alice asked as she placed her hands on her hips. I frowned and looked at Bella. Her cheeks were slightly pink at Alice's words.

"I didn't know that you'd seen that too." Bella said. I stared at Bella, enjoying the blush while it lasted. "Yes I saw that and I want to know why. Engagement parties are so much fun, and plus I know you're not really interested in a bachelorette party, but an engagement party would be great." Alice said. Bella shrugged.

"I don't think it's necessary. Everyone's going to know anyway. If we have an engagement party, it should be joined with the graduation party. I know you've been planning it since the beginning of senior year." Alice looked taken aback for a second at Bella's rightful guess and then nodded.

"That's actually a really great idea. It'll be nicer because everyone will be dressed up. But I told you that the announcement will be in the paper, I've already gotten it set up to be in Monday's paper."Bella nodded. I watched as Alice wrote down the idea of a joint graduation and engagement party and her brain began to go on different tangents of planning. I smiled and leaned into Bella's ear.

"Look what you've done, now she's in a planning trance." I whispered against Bella's ear. She smiled and shook her head.

"Oh well, she would have gone on that without my help." Bella said back. I laughed and nodded, knowing she was right. Alice blinked out of her daydream and then looked at her list again. She quickly began to read it off.

"Okay so we know a semi-date for the wedding and the date of the engagement party will be graduation night, color themes for the wedding will coordinate with the bridesmaid dresses, flowers will be violets, red and white roses and white orchids, full spa day with hair and makeup for bride and all wedding party and our trip to New York will be next week Friday. Now lastly-" But at the sound of Alice saying 'trip to New York' I frowned.

"Wait, why are you guys going to New York?" I asked. Alice raised an eyebrow and Bella turned to me with a smile.

"Kleinfield, the largest and best bridal store is in New York. I know they'll have the dress for me. And it's bad luck if the groom sees the dress before the wedding, so you can't come." She said with a grin. I grinned back and then nodded to Alice to continue.

"Thank you. Now as I was saying, the last thing to get is a caterer. I don't think that anyone other then Emmett would be good enough to do your wedding. So what do you think about having Emmett do the catering? I don't know if he'll want to bake the wedding cake, or if you'll want to order it…..but for the food for the wedding, definitely Emmett." Alice said. I nodded at the idea, knowing Emmett would love the opportunity and Bella had a huge smile on her face.

"Yes, I'd love to have Emmett cater. If he did the cake I know he'd make it so amazing." Bella said. Alice wrote quickly on her notepad as Bella glanced at the clock.

"Alice can we take a break, I need to make a phone call to my mom and go home to get my bed that's being delivered." Bella said. Alice nodded.

"Okay, come back when you're done and we'll continue with this." Alice said. I stood up and took Bella's hand. It was already mid-afternoon as Bella stood up and stretched lightly. I pulled her up against me and wrapped my arms around her.

"See things are going well." I said to her as we stood there. She nodded.

"I'm surprised that you actually kind of paid attention." She said. I frowned playfully.

"I paid attention." I said. Bella laughed and poked my nose lightly.

"Edward you always forget I can hear your thoughts when I concentrate on you. You caressing my hand didn't make it easy for me to pay attention to Alice the whole time, so I kept catching snippets of your thoughts." She said. I rolled my eyes and she laughed and patted my chest.

"Well can you blame me? You look delectable in that dress." I said as I moved and kissed her. I felt her arms wrapping around my neck as we kissed, but then she pulled back.

"Edward, if I keep kissing you like this, then I'll never get home to pick up my bed or get to call my mother." She said, I nodded and then reluctantly let her go. She walked over to the house phone and picked it up. AS she called her mother, I went over to look at the twins. Rose had Lizzy, while Alice had Eddie.

"We're going to go give them their baths before we put them down for their naps." Rosalie said.

"Okay, well Bella's calling her mom and then we're going to go to her house to get her bed. Mine will probably get here a little bit after, so could one of you sign for it and I'll take it upstairs when I get back." I said. They both nodded.

"Sure thing. Now it's bath time." Alice said as she tickled Eddie and moved upstairs. Rosalie followed and I turned back to Bella, who was holding the receiver away from her ear. She smiled at me and mouthed, 'she's really excited'. I nodded and went to get her keys so that we could leave after she finished with her mother. I went upstairs to her room and looked around. I quickly spotted her keys on the night table beside the bed and grabbed them. I went downstairs and saw that Bella was waiting for me at the door. She smiled at me as I handed her the keys.

"Okay, my mom was ecstatic that we're engaged. She was screaming into the phone and she was so loud she was hurting my ears. Anyway she said she'll be down here with Phil next week Wednesday. She also wants to come with me to Kleinfield to pick out my dress." Bella said as we walked outside and to the car. We got in and I smiled at Bella.

"Well that's good. At least you'll have your mom and Alice there with you. It'll be a fun experience." I said as Bella started the car and drove out of the driveway. She nodded and then glanced at me.

"So first thing we have to do is get my old bed out of my room." She said. I nodded.

"I'll handle that and then when the bed comes we can put it together." Bella said with a smirk as she parked in the driveway. We both got out, Bella taking out the pillows and bed sheets we'd purchased for her bed from the day before, out of the trunk. Bella unlocked the front door, throwing her keys on the kitchen table and quickly running upstairs. I heard her drop the stuff in her bedroom and then she came back down at vampire speed. She picked up her mail and turned it over in her hands. She was looking at the four large envelopes in her hand.

"Oh I totally forgot about these." She said as she ripped one open. From what I could see, they were university acceptance letters.

"Where did you get accepted?" I asked, vaguely remembering getting mine. I hadn't really paid attention to them, I'd only had Bella on my mind.

"Dartmouth, University of Alaska, Brown and University of Maryland." I frowned at the last university as Bella glanced at me.

"I applied there, thinking I'd be living there. Same goes for University of Alaska." She said as she put the envelopes on the counter. I nodded in understanding.

"I should probably go get your bed from upstairs." Bella nodded as I left the kitchen.

BPOV

I listened as Edward went upstairs and began to pull apart my bed. I looked around the kitchen and saw my cell phone lying on the counter. I picked it up and quickly sent a text message.

Text message: Hey Adam. I heard your message and I'm glad you called. I'll see you on Tuesday for practice. Bella

I sent the text and put my phone down just as I heard the doorbell ring. As I went to the door, I saw Edward, at vampire speed, rush downstairs with what was left of my bed frame and go out the backdoor. I guessed he was taking it to the garbage through the back. I smiled and opened the front door.

Two burly men looked down at me as I opened the door. They both smiled at me and one rolled in the four pieces of my bed frame, my headboard and a mattress. The other one had a clip board and was smiling slightly goofily as I smiled back at him.

"Can you sign this ma'am?" He asked politely as he handed me the clipboard and pen. I quickly signed the board as the other man walked past me, back onto the porch. I handed the clipboard back to the first man.

"Thank you." He said. He seemed to want to say something more, and I quickly used my left hand to push back my hair. Making sure that my ring was very visible.

"Is there anything else?" I asked politely as I saw both men notice the ring. The first man's face fell slightly and he shook his head.

"No. Thank you for your time. Goodbye." He said as he turned and went down the porch with the other man following. I shut the door and turned to see Edward leaning against the banister.

"Subtle." He said as I walked over to him.

"Well I didn't want to say straight out, I'm engaged, so this was my solution." I said as he took my hand and kissed it. He held it against his cool lips, as he pressed kisses onto it and lightly grazed the back of my hand with his lips. It was sending little wisps of pleasure shooting through me and I rolled my eyes and pulled my hand away.

"C'mon. We need to get all this stuff upstairs and in my room." I said. He nodded with a sad smile and I laughed. I went behind him and pushed him. He picked up all the bed frame pieces and the headboard and went upstairs at vampire speed. I picked up the mattress and followed quickly.

When I got up there, Edward was already putting together the bed frame and I set the mattress aside. I moved over and took the old mattress out of the room. I came back in and saw that Edward was finished with the bed frame, and was just checking to reinforce it.I went over to the mattress and took off its plastic cover. I picked it up and laid it onto the bed frame. It fit, and I straightened it so that it fit properly.

I went over and took out the royal blue sheets that we had bought yesterday and with Edward's help, we set the bed. I put on the matching pillowcases and then threw the pillows on the bed in a slightly messy array. I stood back to look at my work and then nodded. I turned around to find Edward standing behind me.

"Let's break it in." He said and before I knew it, he had swept me up into his arms and had laid us both on the bed, with him on top. I laughed and shook my head.

"We're not breaking anything. And anyway we have to get back to Alice." I said as I tried to pull Edward off of me. All it did was cause him to roll over taking me with him. His arms were wrapped tightly around my waist, as I lay on his chest.

"Alice can wait." He purred into my ear as he began to kiss my lobe. I shivered a little as his lips began to kiss and nibble my ear. He knew that doing that turned me on the most. He'd found out that that was my "spot" during the three days we'd spent in bed. He had wanted to explore my whole body and had been interested to know what places would make me moan the loudest.

The way he expertly teased my ear coupled with his hands, which had now began to caress my back, I couldn't suppress the moan that escaped me. I felt his lips curl into a smile against me, as one of his hands slipped underneath my dress and caressed my butt.

"So are we letting Alice wait?" He whispered huskily into my ear. He moved my face so that he could see my eyes. I sighed in defeat and then nodded ever so lightly. He smiled and then crushed his lips to mine.

He kissed me passionately, his hand holding my cheek and his lips sending heat running through me. His tongue licked my bottom lip, causing me to moan out and open my lips. He slid his tongue in as soon as my lips parted and began to explore my mouth. I could feel his tongue caressing my mouth and then finding my tongue. He began to lightly stroke it with his own, and then my tongue began to caress his back.

Every moment of it was pure heat as Edward's hand began to enflame my body with their caresses. I slid my hands over his arms, feeling the muscles as there. I pulled back for a moment, so that I could breathe and as I did, Edward's lips moved to my neck. I could feel one of his hands, lifting up my dress and the other was in the waistband of my panties.

I could feel Edward's erection pressing out of his jeans, and I smiled at that. I pulled back and straddled his hips. I slid my hands over him, caressing him through his jeans. I watched him as he groaned and shut his eyes in pleasure. I unbuttoned the jeans and then moved my hands away to tease him. His eyes popped open and he pouted. I smiled and leaned up to kiss him. I placed my hands on his chest and began to unbutton, very slowly, the buttons on his shirt. I let my fingers slide over his skin after I'd opened each button and I slid my fingers up and down his chest after I'd opened all of them. He groaned as I pulled away and bit his bottom lip playfully.

He growled as I sat up, looking down at him. My hands were running over his chest, pushing his shirt out of the way. He quickly moved and shook it off, leaving his chest bare. I felt his hands pull up my dress, and I grabbed it, pulling it up and over my head. I threw it onto the floor beside Edward's shirt and his hands, automatically began to caress my skin. His hands moved efficiently and unhooked my bra.

I sighed as I felt his hands take hold of both my breasts. He lightly caressed them, his fingers rolling my nipples and I groaned at the feeling. My back arched as he palmed my breasts and he smiled. I took a deep breath as I moved a little so that I could unzip his pants, continuously and purposely brushing against him as I did.

Edward groaned at the feeling, and I climbed off of him so that I could pull off his jeans. They slid to the floor and leaving him in only his boxers. I climbed back onto the bed, but he pulled me underneath him, so that he was leaning over me. He kissed me passionately and I filled my hands with his hair. I felt his hands slide down my stomach and reach my hips. He lightly pulled off my panties and I loosened and kicked them off my legs.

Edward pulled back and began to kiss my breasts. I ran my fingers through his hair as he toyed with my nipple with his tongue. I was moaning over the heat of his movement, making me want him more. I was completely ready for him and I wanted him now, but Edward had other plans. He could feel my hands trying to pull him back up to my lips, but he resisted. He pulled his lips away from my breast and began to kiss down my stomach, trailing his tongue over my skin as he moved between my legs. He held my hips down as his tongue slid over my clit. I cried out at the exquisite wave of pleasure that flowed through me as his tongue began to caress my clit.

I wanted to thrash around on the bed, to move my hips, but Edward held me down. His tongue was moving quickly over me, changing in tempo and pressure. It was driving me crazy as pleasure ran through me hotly. I could feel my stomach tightening, the climax building as he continued.

My back arched, as I felt myself reach it as Edward flicked my clit hard. I moaned loudly as I hit my orgasm and Edward held onto me. I fell back on the bed, panting after the intensity of the pleasure. I felt Edward let go of my hips, and move back up my body. He kissed my shoulder and my neck on the way up and then looked into my face. I could feel his bare skin on me, and I guessed that he'd removed his boxers during my orgasm.

"I love you Bella." He said. I smiled up at him and looked into the golden eyes.

"As I love you." I said back. He smiled and kissed me, sliding into me as his lips touched mine. Our bodies molded together, became one, as Edward pressed deeply into me. I could feel every hard inch of him and it felt amazing. He started to glide deeply and slowly into me. I could feel the pleasure pulsing through me with every thrust.

Our mouths and tongues caressed each other softly and I could feel his kiss getting deeper as he held my face. I let him kiss me deeper, his mouth mimicking his body as he pressed even deeper into me. Our lips pulled apart only an inch from each other. I took a deep, shaking breath when our lips were apart. Edward's movements were getting me to my orgasm again. I could feel the tightening where he thrust into me and I could hear him groaning as he pressed his lips to my cheek.

I grabbed onto Edward's back and pressed my face into his shoulder as his thrusting became more aggressive. I heard him groan into my ear and I whimpered as my body, trapped by Edward's hard thrusts, sent pleasure pulsing through my veins. I felt the tightening in my stomach recoil and then burst. I felt my orgasm fly through my body. Heat and pleasure flew through every limp, and burned hotly beneath my skin.

I cried out into Edward's shoulder as it hit me, and I heard him groan against me as he thrust faster and then stilled as his body hit his orgasm. His body trembled above mine as his orgasm pulsated through him. I held onto him, and then he collapsed on top of me. I held his body to mine, and kissed his shoulder very lightly. I heard him sigh against me and then move off of me, but hold me close beside him. I nuzzled into his chest as his arms held me tightly. We lay in silence as our breathing went back to normal.

"Edward, we're going to have to get up sometime." I said quietly against him. He groaned.

"We never have a quiet moment for ourselves. I don't want this to end." He said. I smiled against him and nodded.

"I understand, but we're blessed to have what we do." I said against him. I felt Edward kiss the top of my head.

"I know. We have two amazing children, who are everything to us. They were a miracle and now after everything's happened, they're our little angels. They're probably all we'll ever have." He whispered. At this I went rigid in Edward's arms. I began to think…..I'd read something about women's bodies after pregnancy. I could see from the corner of my eye that Edward was watching me in surprise now.

"Bella? Bells….what's wrong?" I heard his voice, but my mind was swirling. I still had blood pumping through my veins, my heart still beat……that could mean that my period…….

"Shit!" I yelled and I sat up. Edward sat up as well and draped his arm over my shoulders, holding me tightly. I was shaking, and I had my face in my hands.

EPOV

I watched as Bella shook her head, while her face was in her hands. I wished desperately that I could read her mind, she was scaring me.

"Bella please talk to me." I said, trying to stay calm. She lifted her face and looked at me.

"I haven't been thinking this past week. I should have been thinking more logically. I don't know yet what this new body is capable of." She said as she got up and began to pace around the bed. I still didn't understand as I watched Bella.

"Bella I still don't understand what's wrong. Please you're worrying me." I said as I swung my legs over the side of the bed.

"Edward I don't know if I can still get pregnant or not." She said. I frowned, I still didn't understand. Bella stared at me in disbelief.

"Edward it would be a very bad thing if I got pregnant again so soon after the twins. Not only because it would be not even two months after I had them, but also because things would be different this time. I'm not a full human anymore, and the twins' pregnancy went very well luckily. But if I can, and do get pregnant again, this baby could be way more dangerous then the twins. It would three quarter vampire and one quarter human. We don't know what this kid could possibly be capable of……or what it could do to me or……" Bella put her face in her hands again and I reached over to her and pulled her to sit down beside me. I stroked her back lightly as she rested her head on my shoulder.

"Bella just calm down. For all we know you may not be able to have more children. You haven't had your period have you?" I asked. She looked up at me and rolled her eyes.

"That doesn't tell me anything. It can take up to six months for a woman's body to get completely back to normal after childbirth. For all I know, I could get my period,but haven't yet." She said.

"But how do we even know that you're pregnant?" She raised an eyebrow at me.

"C'mon, if I can get pregnant, there is no way that I'm not, after this past week spent with you." She said. I nodded, but then I had a terrible thought, that made me go rigid. I hadn't been the only person that Bella had been with this week. I saw her look at me over my reaction.

"Finally you're having a normal reaction." She said as I shook my head and turned her to face me. I put both my hands on her shoulders and looked her in the eye.

"Bella, think. I'm not the only person that you've been with this week, so……." I stopped there, as I saw her realize what I meant. She scoffed and shook her head.

"Adam is not a possibility. We used protection, I saw him with my own eyes put on a condom. And with my special vision I could tell that it was good. Don't worry about that." She said. I sighed and nodded and she smiled and hugged me.

"I'm not worried about the father of this possible child. It could and would only be you." Bella whispered against my shoulder. I wrapped my arms around her and nodded. I took her face in my hands and looked into her chocolate brown eyes.

"Whatever happens, we'll get through it together. But the only way we can know for sure about this whole situation, is we have to let Carlisle check you out." I said to her. She nodded and then I lightly kissed her. She stood up then and began to find her clothes and get dressed. She threw my shirt at me as she put on her bra and panties. I pouted and she shook her head at me lightly. She slipped on her dress as I grabbed my boxers and jeans. I put them on and gave Bella my hand.

She took it and I was about to pull her out of the room, but she stopped. She turned to look at the bed and then quickly went in and made it. I smiled and then she came back and took my hand again. We went downstairs and I grabbed her keys off the table so that we could go back to the house. We shut and locked the front door and then as I handed the keys to Bella, she shook her head, pushing them back toward me.

I frowned and opened the passenger door for her. She got in and I went to the driver's side. I watched her as we drove back to the house. She was quiet and stared out the window. When we got back to the home, she got out and walked toward the house. I quickly followed after her as she went into the house.

I could see Alice coming toward us as we got in and I caught her around the shoulders and steered her away from Bella. I caught a glimpse of my bed frame pieces and mattress sitting at the bottom of the stairs as I pulled her into the laundry room and shut the door. Alice put her hands on her hips and frowned at me.

"Edward what-" I silenced her by raising one hand.

"I don't think Bella's in the mood to talk about weddings anymore." I said to her. Alice frowned.

"Why not? What happened?" Alice asked. I sighed.

"Well I don't really know if I can say. I don't know if she wants anyone to know yet. But she's not very happy. I think you should relax on the wedding planning at least until tomorrow." She stared at me for a moment and then nodded.

"I'm going to go talk to her." Alice said. I nodded as she moved past me and out the door. I stayed there for a moment as I thought of something that would cheer up Bella. I also needed to talk to Carlisle so that we could find out once and for all if Bella could get or was pregnant.

BPOV

I lightly stroked Lizzy's cheek as I looked down at her asleep in her playpen. I heard someone come up behind me and I turned my head a little to see Alice standing beside me. I turned and smiled at her lightly.

"Ready to get back to planning?" I asked, trying not to let her see my conflicting emotions. Alice was watching me intently and then she took my hand and began to pull me out of the living room. I frowned and let her lead me up to her bedroom.

She pulled me in and shut the door behind her. She leaned against it looking at me and I smiled. I went over and sat down on the bed as she continued to stare at me.

"Alice, I'm guessing you want to talk to me so….let's talk." I said. She came over and sat beside me on the bed.

"Bella, what happened?" She asked. I sighed and looked at my hands.

"It's complicated." I said quietly.

"Hm…….well as your best friend I think I can handle complicated." She said just as quietly as I had. I took a deep breath and then looked up at her.

"Alice……..well I guess it's about me and Edward and if we're going to have another baby." Alice's eyes widened and I stood up, clasping my hands together, trying to figure out the right way to explain this.

"So you're going to have another baby?" Alice asked.

"No….I mean, I don't know if I physically can have another baby." "But you just said……." Alice said as I groaned and pressed my temples.

"I know what I said, but it's not like I'd never want another child…..I don't know I've never really thought about it. I mean I just had the twins and even just getting pregnant and having them has been an adjustment. I never thought that I'd be a mother now and it's not like I don't love it because I do, but I don't want to start having another baby so soon after the twins." I said in a rush. I sighed and I went over to sit beside Alice again as she processed everything. She smiled and then looked at me.

"And you're worried that because of all the love making you and Edward have been doing, you think you might be pregnant again, and you're not sure it's something you want at this moment and time." I smiled and nodded vigorously. She understood.

"Am I horrible to think that way?" I asked. Alice took my hands and shook her head.

"No Bells. Everyone has different feelings about children. It's something you want to be prepared for. And in your case, it's an especially delicate subject because of the possibility that you may not be able to physically have children anymore." Everything she was saying was making perfect sense and I was glad that I could get someone to understand how conflicted I was. I was confused on whether I wanted more children, I was happy that I was a mother now, I was sad to know that I may not be able to have more children and I was angry at myself for thinking that I may not want more children.

"I wonder if Edward will be as understanding as you." I whispered to myself. Alice looked at me with a fierce look on her face and she squeezed my hands.

"Don't ever think that Edward wouldn't love you just the same even if you can't have anymore children. He never thought that he'd ever be a father and you gave him the opportunity to be. He loves you even more for that. When you were pregnant with the twins, he was so afraid that he'd lose you and he blamed himself for that because he'd gotten you pregnant. Please don't think that Edward will love you any less for how you feel, he thinks of you as his personal angel straight from heaven and he loves you more then himself because you've given him things that he never thought he would have." Alice said. I thought about that, smiled and then I nodded. I reached over and pulled Alice into a hug.

"Thank you." I whispered into her ear. She pulled back and she was smiling.

"Anytime." Alice said. She patted my knee and pulled me up. She linked arms with me and pulled me to the door. When we opened it, Carlisle was standing there with a smile on his face. I could tell, by his knowing look, that Edward had talked to him. I pulled my arm out of Alice's and smiled at her.

"Moment of truth, I'm going to find out what the verdict is." Alice smiled and kissed my cheek before I turned and followed Carlisle out of Alice's room.

EPOV

I waited for Bella in front of Carlisle's personal clinic. Bella came up to me with a smile and I kissed her lightly while Carlisle went in.

"It'll be okay, whatever happens." I whispered to her. She nodded and we both went in hand and hand.

Carlisle quickly took some blood from Bella, and then began to perform his checkup. I was there the entire time holding Bella's hand when she needed it. I didn't listen to Carlisle's thoughts as he worked on Bella, and from Bella's expressionless face, I guessed she was doing the same.

When Carlisle was finished, he asked for us to wait for him in his office. Bella looked scared as she clutched onto my hand. I was holding her left hand in-between both my hands. After about ten minutes sitting there alone, Carlisle came in. He sat down and folded his hands on the desk and looked at both of us.

"Bella you are not pregnant and can no longer get pregnant because your reproductive organs have taken the characteristics of a female vampire's reproductive organs. There is no possible way that you could or would be pregnant." He said. Bella nodded and then smiled lightly and let out a pent up breath. She stood up and so did I.

"Thank you Carlisle." She said. He nodded. We quickly left after that and I hugged Bella outside of the door. She looked up at me after we'd pulled away.

"I'm relieved, but I'm also sad." She said. I stroked her cheek and nodded. "But we have our beautiful children and that's all that matters." I said as she smiled. I leaned down and kissed her lightly before I pulled away and looked at her.

"I kind of have an impromptu surprise for you. I could see that you needed some fun, so go get dressed." I said. She looked at me and then a small smirk came to her lips.

"How should I dress? Casual or dressy?" She asked me.

"Dressy but comfortable." I said. She smiled and turned to go to her room, but stopped and turned back to me. She quickly kissed my cheek and then turned and went to her room. I smiled as I went to my room. I could hear the shower running in Bella's bathroom, and I smiled. I had an inkling to go join her in it, but I controlled myself. When I got to my bedroom, I remembered I had to build my bed, so I went downstairs and grabbed all the pieces.

I moved at vampire speed, making sure to keep an ear out for Bella. I made room for the bed, rearranging things in my room so that it would fit. After this, I began to put together the bed frame, and then the headboard. The bed frame pieces had been made for easy construction, so it took very little time to put it together. I put on the mattress, and then looked at it. It looked good but plain. I moved over to my closet and got out the pillows, pillowcases and sheets of black silk. I made the bed and then smiled. That was much better.

By this point, I could hear Bella blow drying her hair. I quickly went and jumped in the shower and then started getting dressed. I put on a pair of black pants, with a white collared shirt and a black blazer. I brushed my hair simply and then smiled. I looked at my watch and then went to Bella's door, I knocked very lightly and I heard her still in the room.

"Yes?" She asked.

"Bella, I'll be waiting for you downstairs. Come down whenever you're ready." I said through the door.

"Alright." She said as I heard her begin moving again. I smiled and then went downstairs. I looked in the play pen and saw that Eddie was awake. He reached his arms up to me when he saw me, and I picked him up. I went and sat down on the couch with him.

"Hey little man. How are you feeling?" I asked him as he clutched onto my collar. He smiled.

"Good daddy. Why you dressed up?" He asked. I smiled at how he noticed such things.

"Well I'm taking your mom to dinner tonight."

"Oh, so you and momma gonna have fun?" He asked.

"I hope so." I said as I looked at him. He nodded and then pulled closer to me, resting his head underneath my chin, against my neck.

"Okay." He said as he nuzzled against me. I smiled and held his warm little body close. We sat like that for a long time, until I heard his little stomach grumble very quietly. I moved him so he was up against my shoulder and I went into the kitchen. I pulled out one of the numerous bottles of milk from the fridge and warmed it up. Eddie pulled back to look at me. He had a smile on.

"How you know I'm hungry daddy?" Eddie asked as I took out the bottle and tested its temperature on the back of my hand. I shrugged and took it back into the living room with me. I sat back down and cradled Eddie in my arms, so that I could feed him his bottle.

"Open up." I said to him. He happily obliged and held onto the bottle while he ate. I watched him in wonder, thinking that I was so lucky to have such an amazing son. I glanced over at the play pen and smiled to myself. I also had an amazing daughter and it was all because of my sweet Bella.

Eddie soon finished his bottle, and I put it on the living room table so that I could burp him. I put him against my shoulder and began to tap him lightly on his back. I continued to do that until he let out a huge belch. I laughed at that and then held him up in front of me.

"Wow." I said, he giggled and reached forward. I felt him wrap his arms around my neck and hug me. I hugged him back. He let go and I began to pepper his face and cheeks with kisses. He squealed.

"Daddy!" He said as he giggled and tried to push me away. I laughed and continued.

"How cute." I heard from the doorway. I stopped to look up and saw Bella standing there.

"Momma……you look pretty." Eddie said as I stood up to go over to Bella. Eddie was right as I looked at the violet halter dress that had beading across the halter neckline and on the band underneath her bust. Her hair was pulled back loosely into a messy bun and strands of her hair fell around her ears, framing her face in wisps of curls. I looked at her shoes, which were simple violet sandal wedges. I smiled at Bella and she smiled back.

"Yes, you look beautiful." I said. She smiled and reached over and took Eddie from me. He nuzzled cheeks with her for a moment and then she looked at him.

"So what have you and daddy been doing?" She asked.

"Daddy's been attacking me with kisses momma." Eddie said. Bella grinned and looked at me.

"I think I saw that. But I didn't think it was attacking." Bella said.

"It wasn't. I know he liked it, he was giggling." I said from behind Bella. Eddie leaned against Bella's shoulder, facing me. I stuck my tongue out at Eddie playfully and he stuck his out too. We both laughed as Bella looked at Eddie and turned to look at me. She rolled her eyes at the two of us.

"Okay so who do you want to come and watch you while me and your daddy are gone?" Bella asked him. I watched him as he thought for a moment, and then he smiled.

"Uncle Emmett. He's funny." Eddie said. Bella raised an eyebrow and I shrugged.

"Okay then. Emmett can you watch Lizzy and Eddie while me and Bella go out?" I said into the house.

"Sure, you two have fun." Emmett said from somewhere in the house.

"Emmett, come take Eddie. He wants to play with you." Bella said. In a flash, Emmett was beside us, taking Eddie from Bella's arms.

"Hey little guy. You wanna play with uncle Emmett?" He asked as he took Eddie out of the living room. I smiled and took Bella's hand.

"Ready?" I asked. She nodded and I pulled her to the front door. We went into the garage and I opened the door to the Volvo for her. She smiled and got in. I quickly got into the driver's seat and started the car.

"So are you going to tell me where we're going?" Bella asked as she reached for my hand. I took it and held it as we drove.

"Nope. It's a complete surprise." I said with a smile. She rolled her eyes and nodded.

BPOV

I watched as we drove fast down the highway. I knew that we weren't going to Port Angeles by the look of things. I knew if I'd wanted I could just read Edward's mind and hear where we were going, but I let him have his fun and surprise me. When I saw the sign for Seattle, I turned to him.

"Oh so your taking me to Seattle? I'm excited now." I said with a grin. He smiled and squeezed my hand lightly.

"Good, I want to have fun tonight." He said as we drove into the city. I looked at all the lights, and different places, wondering where we were going to go. We parked in front of a nice looking restaurant by the name of Il Bistro. Edward was a gentleman as he opened my door for me and helped me out. We walked to the door hand in hand, and were seated right away. I ordered my food and took Edward's hand across the table.

"Edward this was really sweet of you. You didn't need to do this." I said as I smiled at him.

"I know, but I know we haven't gone on a date in a long time and plus I wanted to do something that would make you happy after everything that happened today." He said. I nodded in understanding.

"Thank you, you're too good for me." I said as I caressed his hand. He smiled at me and kissed the back of my hand.

"No Bella, you are too good for me." He whispered.

I didn't have to wait too long for my food after I ordered it, and everything was delicious. Of course Edward didn't eat, but we kept talking through the entire meal. After I'd had dessert and he had paid for the dinner, we left. I moved toward the car, but Edward pulled me in the opposite direction. I frowned.

"I have another surprise for you. Come, let's walk a little." He said. I smiled and he put his arm around my waist and we began to walk down the streets of Seattle. It was peaceful and the sun was just about to set as we made our way to the lake shore. It was beautiful there, with the water sparkling and glittering. My breath caught at the sight of it. The sun was sinking behind the water, and I felt Edward wrap his arms completely around me and place his chin on my shoulder. We stood entwined, watching as the sun set in all its beauty.

After that was over, we walked all over the city: going into parks, seeing the Seattle art museum and going to the Japanese Garden which was beautiful. It was a wonderful evening and as Edward and I got back to the car, I turned to him and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"You are the best. I loved everything we did and it really did cheer me up." I said. He smiled and put his hands on my waist.

"I'm glad." He said before he leaned down and kissed me. We stood in the moonlight, kissing for a moment, before I pulled back and smiled. I moved over to the car and got in. As we drove home, I thought of one more thing that we could do that would be fun. We'd never done it before and I knew that Edward would especially enjoy this. So when we got back to the house, I pulled him outside. I'd taken off my shoes and was barefoot now. He stared at me and then came to stand in front of me as I held his hand.

"What is it?" He asked.

"I want to do one more thing with you." I said. He looked at me curiously.

"What's that my love?"

"Run…….run through the forest with me. We've never done it before, and tonight would be perfect . Say yes." I whispered. His eyes sparkled in the moonlight and he nodded. I smiled and then led him to the forest edge, surrounding the house.

"Alright don't get carried away." He said. I laughed as I pulled my hair down around my shoulders.

"Ha! You're just worried I'm faster than you." I said. He raised an eyebrow and began to take off his shoes as well. He shrugged out of his blazer and dropped it on the ground.

"Is that what you think? Well I think a race will tell us who's faster so……first one to the meadow is the winner." He said. I grinned and nodded.

"What's the prize?" I asked. He shrugged.

"Think of something that you'd like if you win and I'll do the same." I nodded at that, and then got into a crouching position.

"On your marks………get set……….go!" I heard Edward yell, and I was off like a rocket, laughing at the silliness of it all with my hair blowing out behind me. I could hear him nearby and I swooped through the woods, dodging the trees like nothing. I heard him fly behind me and I giggled. Then I could see him slightly ahead of me. I took a deep breath and put on an extra burst of speed. We both burst into the meadow at the same time. But Edward lifted me up into his arms when we'd gotten there. I laughed at him as he held me close.

"Tonight has been absolutely amazing." I whispered as I lightly ran my fingers through his hair. He smiled.

"Good, because everyday of our lives will be like this. I promise." He said. I smiled and leaned in. He kissed me gently and sweetly in the moonlight and then slowly we sank to ground, the moon the only witness to our love that night in the meadow.
