Bella POV
….. a very scary Jasper on top of him, holding him down and viciously growling. Jacob and Seth came bounding in the back door in wolf form, having heard the commotion. Seth ran to Addy and helped nudge her over the back of the couch into my lap. Then, leaped over the back of the couch and hovered over us. Jacob had already jumped the couch and was standing beside the pair on the floor and growling down in Eric's face.
Alice came running into the house, and Esme said: "What in the world is going on in here? Jasper get off him and explain yourself; he was just delivering some packages. Everyone needs to calm down."
"He was doing more than delivering packages; he felt like he wanted to deliver something else. His emotions were so strong, they almost crippled me outside. He is having very strong inappropriate feelings about Bella; and if he knows what is good for him, he will never look in her direction again. He needs to be very glad Edward is not home to read his thoughts, he may not have survived that encounter," he growled out.
Jasper slowly let Eric up; it was obvious he had wet his pants. Jasper signed his electronic gadget, shoved it back in his hand, and told him that all deliveries to his, Emmett's, and Edward's houses would be delivered to his office in Forkington; and Maggie would sign for them. He was to never set foot in any of their houses; and if he did, he would be missing some very important body parts that he might need in the future. Jasper told Jacob to escort Eric to the door; and he did, growling at him all the way.
Seth jumped off the couch; and when Jacob came back in the room, I told them thank you and that Edward was bringing dinner home around 2:30 p.m. and for them to come back and eat. They told me through their mind that they would be here, and then they left out the way they came. Esme cleaned up the mess Eric had made on the floor. She now understood what had happened, but she also wanted to know why Jasper was here at Edward's home and not at work.
"Well, Alice 'saw' what all happened this morning and wanted to come check on Bella after she got her chores done. So we were on our way over here, when I felt so much lust that I doubled over. When I recovered my senses, I knew Edward was not home and there shouldn't be any lust happening in his house. I knew that Eric was delivering something because I heard him pull up in the driveway and get out of the vehicle. So, I put two and two together and rushed into the house and let my instincts take over. I felt a threat and responded. By the way, I owe you a door," he said turning to me.
"I will call the contractor when I get home. Oh, and to the question to why I am not at work, I decided to take another day off. I will go into work tomorrow because I know you ladies will be busy tomorrow," he said.
"Don't worry about the door, I will tell Edward to add it to the list when he calls them today. He is going to have them install a laundry chute, so I won't have to carry the laundry down the stairs," I said.
"I am going to call him right now and tell him what happened before the rumor mill reaches him, and I will tell him about the door," he said as he headed outside.
Alice came around the couch and wanted to know how I was feeling and if I needed her to do something for me. I convinced her that Esme and Emily should be taking care of everything that needed to be done.
She started eying the boxes sitting in the floor. I told her to open them up and hand me the items and we could both see what Edward ordered together. By now, Jasper had come back in the house; and he ripped the boxes open and set them at Alice's feet. He picked Addy up, who was still curled up in my lap; and he asked her if she would help him build something. So they sat down in the floor and started to build with her blocks. I guessed he wanted to make sure that she wasn't scared of him, after his display of aggression.
Alice started on the box with the books and pulled them out, looking at all the titles. She said I truly was a geek if I liked these books. She then pulled out two sets of sheets and set them on the couch. The last box earned all kinds of squeals, as she pulled out the hot chocolate, chocolate bars, marshmallows, and graham crackers. She said we should have had these last night when we grilled. I told her we would have them soon. Both Edward and I had ordered extra candy bars. So I divided a couple up amongst us. I wondered if the general store carried them; I always had a sweet tooth for chocolate.
Emily had been dealing with the laundry for a while; when she came back in the family room, she was grinning like a Cheshire cat. She looked at the couch and noticed the sheets. "So, you ordered some replacements for all those ripped sheets, huh? With the condition those sheets are in, it is a wonder you can even walk, much less run around here working your tail off," she laughed out.
My face turned red and Esme scolded her, but couldn't hide her smile. It must be a sight, seeing all those ripped sheets flying in the wind.
"I saw those ripped sheets on the way over here; Edward must be more animal than I am because our sheets survived the binding," Jasper laughed out.
Esme said she was going to go through the house and do some light cleaning, so that would be one less thing that I would have to deal with and for us to change the subject we were on because the room had little ears. She said as her head tilted to Addy, busy with her blocks. That was fine with me; I didn't like the subject anyway.
Alice wanted to know what I wanted to do with my order. I told her the books went on an empty shelf near my reading chair in the office, the food needed to go in a kitchen cabinet, and the sheets needed to be taken to mine and Edward's bedroom.
Esme grabbed the sheets and said she was going upstairs anyway, Jasper grabbed the books, and Alice took the food to the kitchen. Emily took the empty boxes to recycle; and she said some of the clothes were dry on the line, and she asked Addy if she would like to help bring her clothes in from outside.
Addy looked at me and asked, "Will you be okay for a wittle while? I be right back."
"Yes, Sweetheart, I will be just fine; go and help Emily with the clothes," I said.
Jasper came out of the office and asked Alice if she wanted to go with him to pick up the food from town. He said Edward had asked him to pick it up, so he could get home quicker. She, of course, agreed; and they left to pick up the food. This meant Edward would be home soon.
It was eerily quiet now, after all the turmoil that had happened today. Esme was upstairs, Jasper and Alice had left for town, and Emily and Addy were outside. So, I just lay down and closed my eyes. Soon the scent of freesias overpowered me; and before I knew what was happening, I was getting kisses placed all over my face.
"Don't you worry me like that again! I don't want to receive another sat call where you are hysterically crying. It was hard enough to be such a great distance from you, and then to get a sat call with you lying on the couch crying; it was about too much for me to take. I love you and there is no way that I would ever send you back. So get that out of your brain for good. Now, let's have a look and see if there is a problem, or you just overdid it today," Edward said, as I sat up; and he started pulling instruments out of his bag that I just noticed that he had with him.
He checked all my vitals, and he said everything was normal. He helped me to stand up, and I didn't feel dizzy. I guessed I just needed some rest. He told me I seemed fine now, but I was to do no more work without resting consistently. We then sat back down on the couch.
"You are going to have to spread your chores out to where there is plenty of rest time between different tasks being performed. Unless that still proves to be a problem, and we will just have to get you some assistance with your work. You don't have to rush to get all of your jobs done while I am at work. I don't have to have your undivided attention when I am home. I will tell you when I have plans and we will work around your chore schedule. I know you have shopping tomorrow with Esme and Alice; and you will need to rest when you get home, so I have no plans for you but rest. But Wednesday when I get home from work, we will need to go to the confinement chambers and see about your dad. He is supposed to arrive Wednesday morning," he told me.
"I am sorry that I scared you, but I knew I had a busy week ahead with my chores, shopping, Dad's arrival, planning for Emmett's and Rosalie's binding, and whatever else decides to crop up this week. Plus, I have to prepare meals and tend to Addy. I just wanted to get all that laundry over with and the bread done, and I just bit off more than I could chew. I will definitely slow down; I know now I can't go at full speed, and I certainly don't want to take a chance on losing the baby," I told him.
I still smelled flowers and finally looked around to discover the source. It was a lovely bouquet of freesias lying on the couch, along with a bear. I pointed them out; and it was obvious he had forgotten all about them, in the rush to see about me.
Handing me the flowers, he said: "I got you these, Angel, hoping they would make you feel a little better; and the bear is for Addy. The flowers smell just like you do to me. I will find a vase for them; I think Mother had put one up in a kitchen cabinet somewhere when she was helping me decorate the place," he said, as he took them from me and headed into the kitchen. I told him that I needed to go to the bathroom, so I headed down the hall to his office.
After I came back into the family room, everyone had arrived back from their destinations. Edward was holding Addy, who was hugging her new bear. Alice was putting all the food out on the bar, and it smelled good; it had been a while since breakfast, and I was starving. Jasper sounded like he was trying to locate Seth and Jacob; and soon they were lumbering into the house, only in their cut-off jeans. Alice mumbled something about making them some clothes. Alice, Esme, and I fixed our mates' plates and set them on the table. I got Addy's high chair out and fixed her up with food and drink. The rest of us fixed our plates and either sat at the table or at the bar.
Before the meal was up, Edward was asking Jasper about all the details of the Eric debacle. He wasn't too happy about his emotions towards me, but thought it was funny that he had wet his pants. He was glad Jasper had told him to make all deliveries to Jasper's office in town. He told him to tell Maggie if he received something, for her to call him on his sat; and he would stop by and pick it up. He said Emmett might want any packages he got to be sent to his auto repair shop; they would discuss it with him later.
Soon lunch was over; and after the clean-up, most headed out. Emily said that she would get all the clothes in off the line and have them folded on the couch. Esme told us she would have a light dinner for everyone at six tonight, and she asked Addy if she would like to go home with her for the afternoon. Edward said that I was going to take a nap. He picked me up and carried me upstairs, where he promptly undressed us; and we crawled in bed and snuggled up to each other. He started running his fingers through my hair and humming my lullaby. I was soon drifting off to sleep.
But it only seemed a little while later, when I felt him slowly enter me. He had been spooning me as I slept, and I guess the temptation was too much. I didn't mind; it felt so good. When we made love, I felt so connected to him. He was rubbing lightly on my breast and using feather like touches on my nipples. My moans seemed to spur him on. He picked up the pace and his hands moved down to my hips to hold me to him as he thrust into me. I told him that it felt so good.
"I love you, baby. I am sorry I woke you up, but I couldn't stand lying here next to you and not being inside you. We have to get up in a little while anyway, but I couldn't resist. Your luscious body just calls to me and I have to answer. Mmmm, baby, this feels so good," he whispered in my ear, as he kissed my shoulder and neck. His thrusts were becoming more urgent, and he removed one hand from my hip and brought it around to my nub.
Yes, that felt good, and I started meeting him thrust for thrust. The tingling began in my center and exploded out to my toes and my fingertips. He thrust a few more times and growled out his release. After he held me close a few minutes, he picked me up; and we headed for the bathroom.
We only had time for a quick shower before it was time to go to his parents' house. I grabbed the items for the smores*, and we headed over to the main house. They were on the back deck again, so that was good. We would have a fire for the marshmallows, but we needed sticks for them. I mentioned this to Edward; and he had never roasted marshmallows before, so I had to explain how to do it and what we needed. He and Jasper headed out to the woods to get some small diameter sticks. They soon came back with what we needed and sharpened up the ends for us.
After we had dinner, everyone wanted to try a smore. Alice and I laid out the graham crackers and chocolate and made sure everyone was set up with a stick and a marshmallow. Soon the marshmallows were roasted and everyone had their smore, and Addy soon had a mess. She had marshmallow and melted chocolate stuck in the fur on her face, her whiskers, and all over her hands. Everyone thought it was funny, but her.
"Mama Angel, me sticky. It was good, but I dwon't like being sticky, ewwww," she said, as she held up her hands for me to clean.
I told her it would all wash off in the bath tonight and not to worry about it. I went on and cleaned up what I could with a warm wet washcloth though.
After clean-up, we all dispersed to our respective homes. After Addy's bath and bedtime story, I was ready for bed. Even after having a nap, I was tired. Edward and I were soon cuddled up, and I was ready to leave behind a somewhat stressful day. Not sure tomorrow would be any less stressful. It would be Alice and shopping, oh my!
