Hey guys I know I know. It's been a while. But no more excuses her is another chapter I hope you like this one. I was thinking about this chapter being the last one but I feel there is more I can make from these two crazy kids. What do you think? I hope you like this one.
"Do you like it?"
I looked at Edward and he just stared staring at the tattoo I did.
"Edward you are starting to freak me out. Say something."
His green eyes met mine and he walked to me.
"Did it hurt?" He asked and looked at my tattoo again.
I pouted out my lips and said, "A little."
He flicked his eyes back to mine and I let my wavy hair fall. He smiled at me and I can see the evil in his eyes.
"Will it hurt if we…."
He didn't need to finish his sentence. He walked to me and kissed me hard and walked me to the couch and laid me on top of him. And he showed me how much he liked the tattoo.
I pulled away from Edward breathless with my wet hair was stuck to my forehead. I turned my head to look at Edward who was in the same state as me. I chuckled and leaned my head to his shoulder.
"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you."
I kept repeating over and over. Edward chuckled and leaned his cheek to my wet hair. As our breath was starting to calm down I rose to my elbow to face him and smiled.
"I don't know about you but I am hungry." I hit his belly and jumped up and ran to the kitchen. That's when I realized it was getting dark outside. I smiled. I smiled that we were alone today. No crying kids. No yelling at Eddie for him to behave or not to bother Renee. It was just Edward and I enjoying each other. I opened the fridge and shivered when the cold air hit my naked body. Damn! I should have wrapped in one of the sheets. I reached for the fruit salad I did this morning for the kids to take to Rosalie's. I must have forgotten to give it to her. I picked a pineapple and put it in my mouth. I licked my fingers and went back to Edward.
"What did you bring?"
He said while putting one of the couch pillows under his head. I put the bowl down and sat next to him. I wrapped a sheet around me. I picked up a green grape and put it in his mouth. As he chewed I leaned forward and I kissed him. I put my head on his shoulder and he put his arms around me.
"I love this. I love being with you like this."
I looked at him.
"I was thinking about that too when I went to the kitchen. I have an idea. We can call Esme and tell her that she can keep the kids and it will just be us in this big house."
Edward looked at me and shook his head.
"Who am I kidding? I couldn't do that. They are my babies. And I will miss them like crazy."
"I know. I would miss waking up and seeing Eddie sitting on my chest making growling noise. Thanks Emmett."
I laughed and snuggled closer to him.
"Yeah I would miss you running after Eddie and Renee trying to yell at you guys. She is so cute."
Edward touched the tip of my nose and said, "Just like her mother."
I blushed. Edward picked a strawberry and rubbed the juice on my lips and put it in my mouth. He removed his arm from under my head and rolled on top of me. He kissed the juice off of my lips and my head started to spin. God I love this man. As we pulled apart we both were breathless.
"I love you Isabella Cullen."
"And I love you Edward Cullen."
He kissed me again and his hand went to my side and started to tickle me. I was laughing and kicking trying to make in stop and he slipped inside me.
The bright sun shining into the bedroom woke me up. I turned to see Edward lying on his back with his sexy lips he had slightly parted. He was snoring lightly and I smiled. I kissed his shoulder and he stirred. I didn't want to wake him so I just turned and just stared at this gorgeous man in my bed. I mean our bed. I started thinking about our night together. I blushed at what we did. Last night was something Edward and I needed. We need to be together without distraction from the kids. Since we didn't want to go away for our honeymoon, this is something the family did for us. And I appreciated them for that. That's when it hit me. Our time together was about to come to an end. We had one more day together then back to real life. Rosalie is bringing the kids back today. Edward had classes tomorrow and I had online classes and taking care of the house and kids. Don't get me wrong I am not complaining. I love my life as Mrs. Edward Cullen. My heat started to pick up pace. I loved saying that and I love hearing it.
I heard the front door open and close and I smiled. My babies are home. I could hear them running up the stairs and Rosalie trying to tell them to be careful. I reached by the foot of the bed for my robe and slipped it one. I heard a little knock. Since Edward and I started living together, we had to teach them to knock before they enter. We didn't want them to see something they should see. I blushed at that thought.
"Come in." I said loud enough for them to hear me but not to wake up Edward.
They opened the door and I saw Renee's little face light up and she ran to the bed. I pulled back the cover and she slipped in with me. I grabbed Eddie and pulled him with me. I held my twins and started tickling them. I know when Edward with their screaming and laughing.
"What are you doing to my kids?"
Edward said while sitting up.
"Are you torturing out children?"
I shook my head and I stopped tickling them. Edward opened his beautiful eyes wide.
"I think we need to turn the tables."
Edward grabbed me and pushed me down on the bed. He pinned my arm above my head.
"Tickle mommy."
The twins squealed and jumped on me while they tickled me. Edward was nuzzling my neck tickling me and they twins were tickling my waist.
"Ok Ok. I can't take anymore." I said while trying to get them off.
"I think mommy had enough." He released my hand and gave me a loud kiss on my cheek. Edward got up and started rough housing with Eddie. Eddie would growl and try to jump on Edward and he just knocked him down. Eddie would just get up and run to Edward again and just kept getting knocked down. He wouldn't give up just like somebody else I knew. Renee lay next to me and started babbling about what she did with Uncle Ebbett and auntie Rozie. I love how she calls Emmett. It was just too cute. My cell phone started buzzing and I reached on my night table and saw I got a text. Edward gave me a look and I just shrugged my shoulders in answer to the question in his eyes. I pressed the button.
You guys need to go see Alice. NOW!
"Rose!" I yelled sitting up.
My yelling scared Eddie. He tripped and fell.
"Ok calm down baby." I grabbed his arm from getting up. He was about the throw a tantrum.
"Eddie I said calm down. Lay down." He listened. I guess he can tell that something was wrong.
"What's wrong babe."
I searched for the number I was looking for and hit call.
"Rose! I don't know I got a weird text from Emmett saying to go see Alice."
No answer. I tried again.
"Ok guys let's go. Eddie jumped on Edward of course. When Edward reached for Renee she pushed his hand away. She gets like this when we are apart. My baby.
"It's ok babe. Let her stay."
Rosalie walked in.
"I am trying her. But she isn't picking up. I called Jasper's phone but it just goes to voice mail." Rosalie said trying to call her again.
"I am going to call Emmett." Rosalie walked out of the room.
I pushed the cover off and got out of the bed. I called Edward to get Renee while I go jump in the shower really quick but she just got upset so I told her to stay in the room with daddy and she can come with me. That made her happy.
We pulled up to the Cullen's house. After Alice gave birth to Lizzie they moved into the house and had renovated the basement to make a little home for the three of them. Alice's idea of course and jasper just gave her whatever she wanted. The apartment had its own little entrance. We knocked but there was no answer. We knew somebody was there because we can hear Lizzie crying. As we walked in the apartment I gasped at what I saw. It was mess. Things were thrown all over the floor. Glass was everywhere. Books were all around the room. Clothes were all over the place. It looked like somebody ram shacked the whole place.
"Alice." Rosalie called as we walked through the kitchen to the living room. We found Alice sitting on the white couch and I noticed spots on her couch and thought that Alice isn't going to be too happy about that. I looked at her and she was just sitting there shaking. She was crying.
"Alice. Are you ok?"
"I am going to get Lizzie." Rosalie said and went to her room.
"Hon. Are you ok?"
I walked closer to her on the couch and I noticed the spots were blood. I ran to her. Thank God I left Renee with Esme. I lifted her hands and noticed she had cuts on her hand.
I shook her.
"Alice. What did you do?"
She looked like she was in a trance.
I shook her harder.
"Alice. Alice."
She looked at me and I saw great pain in her eyes. Alice started to cry. She whispered something but I couldn't hear her. I started to cry.
"Jasper cheated on me." Alice said.
"Oh Jasper." I said and pulled her into my arms. She started to cry hysterically.
"Oh honey." I said trying to comfort her.
I sent Alice in the bathroom to freshen up. She was puffy and her hands were bleeding. While she was in the shower I told Rosalie what happened.
"I could kill him." She said squeezing the broom like it was his neck.
"I know. What is up with these men?"
I shook my head. Rosalie went back to sweeping up the mess and I put on a kettle for tea. As Alice got out I put something on the table for her to eat.
"I am not hungry." Alice said while sitting down on the chair. I put a mug in front of her and told her that she needs some tea. I poured some for her. She didn't drink it but held it. The heat must be warming up her hands making her feel a little better.
Rosalie bent down to pick the broken plates and cleans up the food on the floor.
"What happen Alice?" I said softly.
She put the mug on the table and pushed back her short wet hair.
"This morning was good. Lizzie slept a little longer this morning so Jasper and I were being lazy. So we were in bed and just held each other and just talked. It was great. So after a while I decided that it's time for us to get up and start the day. You know me I am up before the sun is. So just lying around was starting to kill me."
Rosalie and I laughed. I can remember the times when we were pregnant and she would call me and I would wish death on her for waking us up.
"So we got up by then Lizzie was up and she was sitting in her chair drinking her milk and I was cooking breakfast for us. So the phone was ringing and it was Jasper's assistant. Valarie. She sometimes calls for him in the morning so I didn't think anything of it. So I called him. But she said she needed to talk to me."
Alice took a deep breath and her eyes started to fill. Rosalie moved to the chair and sat next to us.
"That kind of confused me. We talk but it is usually brief. She said that she isn't the type to hide stuff from people and if the roles were reversed that she would want to know. And that she needed to get it off her chest. And she is sorry to causing pain to my family. But she slept with Jasper and that she couldn't live with herself for sleeping with a married man."
"What!" Rosalie said,
"I know. I was shocked my husband the man I love above all things cheated on me." Her voice started to shake and tears fell down her cheek. I reached over and grabbed her hand. I know how that feels. I knew how it felt to be betrayed by the man you love. Who you see will be with you for the rest of your life.
"So I don't know what else she said after that but I noticed she had hung up so I hung up the phone and walked into the living room. I picked up Lizzie and brought her to her crib and closed her door. I walked back into the living room and I confronted him. At first he said he didn't do it. But then he said it was killing him too. He didn't mean to blah blah blah. So I don't know what came over me but I started throwing things and throwing the breakfast I cooked for us on the floor. I was punching pictures of us. And I told he ruined us. And I threw him out." She started crying harder.
"How could he… How could he do this?"
Rosalie pulled her into her arms and started murmuring in her hair. The door opened and we looked at the door.
I got up when I saw it was Jasper.
"Oh no. I think you should go."
"Alice baby I am sorry. I am so sorry."
"Get out!!" Alice yelled.
I tried to push Jasper but it wasn't working.
"Jasper please leave." Rosalie said.
"This is between me and my wife. Stay out of it." He said yelling at Rosalie.
She folded her arms and shifted her weight to one leg.
"You know better than that."
Jasper looked back at Alice.
"Please baby I am sorry. I am so sorry. What can I do make this right?"
Alice threw her mug at him and it hit in the head. Blood was darkening this blond hair but it didn't bother him.
"Get out! Get out!"
"Alice please." Jasper said and fell to his knees.
"Please I am nothing with you. I am nothing without my daughter. Don't do this."
That touched me. Jasper was on his knees crying for Alice. He loved her. You can see it in his clear blue eyes. Lizzie was screaming from the noise. Alice lips started quivering and she got up and walked to Jasper. She put her hand on his head and ran her fingers through his hair. She lifted his head so he can look at her and she slapped him hard across the face.
"I hate you for what you did to me."
She walked out of the kitchen and went to her daughter. Jasper broke down and started crying. I looked at Rosalie who was shooting daggers at him. But tears welled up in my eyes. I love Jasper. He's my brother. Even though it was shitty what he did to Alice but he was hurting too. I grabbed him and helped him up. Jasper was leaning on me crying and I told Rosalie to check on Alice and Lizzie. I helped Jasper out of the house and into the Cullen's house. I sat him on the couch and Esme walked in.
"Is everything ok?" She looked so concerned and wiped the tears off and blood off Jasper's face.
"I fucked up." He kept repeating. I tried to calm him down but he just kept repeated he messed up. I looked at Esme and told him what happened. She put her hand to her chest and shook her head.
"I am so sorry." He said over and over to Esme.
"It's ok. How's Alice?" She asked me.
"Broken." Jasper started crying harder.
Emmett walked in and I can see in his eyes he wanted to kill Jasper. I got off the couch and stood in front of him.
"No Don't."
"What do you mean don't? He cheated on her."
I put my hand to his chest to stop him from moving further to Jasper.
"I know he did but look at him. I think he's had enough for one day."
Emmett looked at him and dropped his shoulder. I told him to go to Alice to calm her down. He left and sat back down on the couch and threw my head back and exhaled.
"I have to make it up to her." Jasper said and rose off the couch and went out the back to go to the apartment.
I got up and ran after him.
"Wait Jasper. I think you should wait. Let her clam down before you talk to her."
He pushed me to the side.
"No I have to work this out now of I will lose my girls."
Jasper continued to walk to the apartment and I could hear Alice crying. He stopped and just listened to her.
"I did that to her. She will never forgive me for what I've done."
I put my hand on Jasper's shoulder.
"Give her time Jas. She loves you. I forgave Edward. And it was worse than this. It was with Tanya."
I shuddered and realized that I was still kind of pissed about that.
"I love her Bells." I looked at him and tears were rolling down his cheeks.
"I know you do Jas. Just give her time. Just let her be."
He dropped his heads and walked back into the house.
When I reached home I was exhausted. I stayed with Alice but I had to bring Renee home. She was fast asleep in the car on the way home. I picked her up and brought her to her room where Eddie was fast asleep. Thank God. After I changed her fro bed, I walked into the living room. Edward is feeding Mason. I kissed Mason and dropped on the couch.
"How is Alice?"
I looked at Edward and just rolled my eyes at him. Yup I was still pretty pissed out the Tanya situation.
"How do you think she is? A mess." I snapped at him.
"Are you ok?"
"I am not ok. My best friend is heart broken and you friend broke her heart. I know how she feels."
"Whoa wait what does that mean?" Edward said while sitting on the edge of the couch and adjusting Mason on his lap and arm.
I got up and took Mason out of his arms and took him to his nursery. Edward followed me. I kissed the top of his sweet smelling hair and laid him down. I left his room and went to our room. He grabbed me and turned me to face him.
"What the hell is that suppose to mean?"
"You guys amaze me. You are something else. We love you guys so much. We go out and mark our bodies for you and you cheat on us."
"Us?"
I stepped closer to him and stared into his eyes.
"Yes us. You are no better. You slept with Tanya."
Edward lifted his hand up and dropped them hitting his side. He walked around the room
"I can't believe you are bringing this up now."
"When am I supposed to bring it up?"
He stopped in front of me and grabbed my arms.
"I made a mistake and I made up for that mistake."
"You did?" I said pulling away from his hold.
"Yes I did. I am committed to you and our children. I have shown that you can trust me."
"I don't think I can trust you." I said putting my head down.
"Isabella. I married you. I want you. I didn't want anybody else."
I lifted my head and looked into his eyes.
"You wanted me so much you jumped right into Tanya's arm."
He ran his hand through his hair. His green eyes turned hard and cold while he is clenching his jaw.
"You left me. You left me and I was lonely. And I regretted doing it with her. We talked about this. Don't bring it up anymore."
He turned his back from me and I scoffed. I guess I wasn't the only person who was holding in pain.
"I had to leave. I had no choice. My dad…"
He turned to face me his eyes were softer
"I know he had to leave but you said you can't trust me. You lied just like I lied. You kept my children from me. I moved passed that. I am building a life with you now. I love you and we have to work pass this. And I trust you. I trust you with my life. And for you say you don't trust me hurts."
Edward turned his back to me. I do trust him. I trust him with my life and my children's life. I walked up behind him and put my arms around his waist. He was taller than me. So I put my forehead to his back.
"I'm sorry. I was just angry about everything. Seeing Alice brought it back for me."
He was about to turn but I told him no too.
"I do trust you. I wouldn't marry you if I didn't. I love you more than you know. You are my life."
Edward turned and lowered his head to mine and put his head against mine. I closed my eyes and breathed him in. I kissed him and whispered I love you against his lips.
This morning was hectic. Eddie was acting out as always. Mason was cranky because he was cutting a tooth. My poor baby. Renee was very clingy to Edward and she went crazy when he left. I tried to tell her that he would be back later and that he will miss her so much that he will drown her with kisses when he gets back. As I settled the mayhem that is known my life, I sat in front of the computer and started with my assignments from my on-line classes. It was going good and I couldn't wait to finish. It was taking a while because I had to take care of my kids. But I was going to finish. Nothing was going to stop me from that goal in my life. And I know Edward wouldn't be too happy if I did give up.
After I was done with the assignments and the lessons, I decide to go check on Alice. I walked into the house and the kids ran to Esme. She greeted them with open arms.
"Gamma gamma. Can I have cookees? Puease." Eddie said.
"Ok babe I will get you some."
I pointed down to let Esme know I was going to down stairs and I noticed a flash of pain hit her eyes. I went out the back and knocked on the door. Alice opened it and she looked a mess. Her hair was a mess. She had dark circles under her eyes. And she looked pale.
"Hey Alice." I said and hugged her.
I walked into her house and I noticed boxes everywhere.
"What's going on here?' I said while looking at the boxes that were marked Jasper's stuff.
"I am packing Jasper's crap."
"What? Are you sure you should do that?"
She gave me a dirty look.
"Of course I should. It's over between us."
"But Alice, you have to forgive him. You guys are meant to be together. It is Jasper and Alice."
She tapped up a box and looked at me while tapping the tape dispenser against her hand.
"Well it is over when it became Jasper, Alice and Veronica. Anyway, why are you taking his side?"
"I am not taking his side. I just know that you guys love each other and what about Lizzie?"
"He can come see his kids…."
"Kids?"
Alice huffed and walked to her bag and pulled out a sonogram picture. She walked to me and showed me the little picture.
"What a minute you are expecting and you got a tattoo?"
She took the picture from me.
"It isn't real. I told them just paint it with Henna or something and they did. I am glad I didn't though even if I wasn't pregnant. Then I wouldn't have to get it removed."
"Wait a minute. Does he know?"
She shook her head.
"You have to tell him Ali. He has to know about this."
"Why should I? You didn't tell Edward and it worked for you."
I closed my eyes. I was getting tired of them bringing that up.
"I didn't tell him because I didn't want him to walk away from his dreams to be a doctor. I knew eventually I was going to tell him. It just took 3 years."
"Well I don't want him in my life anymore."
"He's going to find out when he comes to see Lizzie and you are getting bigger and bigger."
"I am not going to tell him and that's final. You are suppose to be there f or me but you are a spokesperson for the man who broke my heart."
"Alice that isn't fair."
"I think you should leave."
"Alice. For somebody who was cheated on. I thought we would stick together. But I see you are weak. And I don't want to be weak like you."
My mouth hit the floor. I can't believe she just called me weak. For forgiving her brother for what he did to his family. I just looked at her while she was taping another box.
"You know where the door is. Use it."
She said without looking at me. I got up from the couch and walked past her.
"I am not weak because I forgave your brother. I love him and I would do anything to fight for my family. I fought for him. What's weak is that you are quick to throw it away. And not telling him about this. And I never thought of you as weak. I guess I was wrong."
I turned and walked out of the house. As I shut the door something was thrown against. I jumped and closed my eyes. Tears rolled down my cheek. I just fought with my best friend. I rolled my shoulder and wiped my tears and went inside the house.
I hope you guys like this chapter. Please send me some reviews. Thanks
