~~~Bella~~~
Biting my cheek, I lay silently with my eyes closed, pretending to be asleep. I wasn't sure if Edward was singing to me or the baby, either way, he sounded ridiculous. I was having a hard time holding in the giggles. Edward, was currently singing his heart out, singing 'I'm gonna be' (500 miles), complete with a thick Scottish accent. His beautiful voice was butchering it, it was a disgrace to Scottish people everywhere.
"When I wake up, well I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next you
When I go out, yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
If I get drunk, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver up, Yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you"
I sighed heavily to try and relax my face, suppressing a smile. He kept elongating the words and accentuating the "I'm gonna be" slower than the rest, really giving it that Scottish enunciation.
"But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door"
Bella take deep breaths, deep breaths. God your husband is such a dork. Shut up, he's cute. I had to give myself a little pep talk. He kept right along singing and I did my best to stay still, until he started to really break it down.
"da da da da da da
da da da da da da
Da Da Da Dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh Da
da da da da da da
da da da da da da
Da Da Da Dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh Da"
I fucking lost it, laughing hysterically, covering my face with both hands. Edward stopped singing and gasped.
"Bella! What is it? Are you in pain? Baby talk to me" He pleaded. Quickly, I realized I must look like I was crying. In fact, I did have a few tears that streamed down my cheeks.
"I'm fine" I rasped between chuckles, hands still covering my face. I peaked between my fingers and saw Edward and EJ sitting in one of those hospital recliners, a few feet away from the bed. Edward looked adorable, holding a swaddled EJ, with a burp rag draped over his right shoulder. I took a few more deep breaths and composed myself.
"Are you done now?" Edward asked. I turned to him and raised an eyebrow. "Was it really that funny?" I nodded my head yes, biting my lip.
"Your mommy has a funny sense of humor" He spoke to EJ, I giggled.
"How long have I been asleep?" I asked curious.
After everyone came in to say goodnight and sit with us, it was nearly two in the morning. They gave us time to spend with our family, completely going against visiting hours. I know women have had worse, however, going through eight hours of labor were tough enough. I was glad it wasn't a longer process. Dr Eleazar, didn't approve after I literally relaxed for twenty minutes and begged her to let our family, plus Edward and EJ, in to see me. I should have listened to her.
When everyone left, I had just dozed off and woke up to EJ screaming. It was my own fault, the nurses offered to keep him in the nursery, but I wanted him with me. He was crying and I was scared shit. Did I really think my newborn son was going to sleep through the night when he didn't in utero? Silly Bella. The nurse came in after Edward and I fussed over him for a while. We checked his diaper, which was dry, he had just had his first bottle, so he wasn't hungry. The nurse came in and told me to lay back, I did as she asked and she placed EJ on my chest, his head on my heart. Turns out, that's what he has been listening to for the past few months, my heart. He calmed instantly, for which I was glad.
"Just over two hours" Edward said, I nodded. So it must be a little after nine in the morning.
"How are you two doing over there?" I smiled.
"We're doing great, I just gave this wee one breakfast" Edward replied in a thick Scottish accent. I giggled, surprised I understood him.
"We also just changed his diaper" He continued. Edward then lifted the baby, covering his face with EJ. I furrowed my brows confused.
"This diaper's making my nuts rub together. It's gonna start a fire" He continued with the accent.
Edward did not just quote fat bastard from those Austin Powers movies, while he was holding my son. I laughed, it was funny. Then I stopped, feeling overwhelmed again, as tears filled my eyes. I had months to prepare for this, I read book after book, all about parenting, but what did I know. It's not like EJ can talk yet and tell me what's wrong. How will I know? How am I supposed to take this baby home and care for him? I was so scared. Suddenly, it felt as though giving birth was the easiest feat so far, what now?
"Hey you, how you doing over there?" Edward asked. I wiped my face and smiled in his direction.
"I'm fine" I lied.
"I know what you need, you need a dose of this little guy. He makes all those worries go away" Edward said as he walked over to the bed. I scooted over for him to lay next to me, with EJ in his arms.
"Hi Mommy" Edward squeaked as he lifted EJ's little hand out of the swaddle and waved it at me.
"Awww" I crooned. His little hand was so cute. That's not all that was cute about him. He had these little rosie chubby cheeks, button nose, my dark brown hair, and what looked like Edward's lips. He opened his eyes last night and they were a dark shade of coal gray. They said he will most likely have brown eyes, like me. He was beautiful. I wished that he would have green eyes like his father, but I loved him the way he was.
Edward handed him over and I hugged him close to me. He did make all those worries go away. I stared at my child and my heart swelled. I loved him more than anything. Alice was right, Edward was the love of my life, until EJ was born. I didn't love Edward any less, my heart just grew. I never fully comprehended what Alice was telling me all these months. When they handed EJ to me the first time, I knew exactly what she meant. It was love at first sight. He was apart of me for so long and he still is, he just isn't inside of me. My life before him, didn't matter anymore, because I couldn't imagine a world where little Edward Anthony Cullen II didn't exist.
"Relax Love, I know you're scared- shit- I am too, but it's not like we're going to kill him" Edward reached over and brushed my bangs away from my face as I stared at him blankly.
"Don't say shit like that" I whisper/yelled. "What if someone heard you" Edward chuckled.
"Come on momma bear, you're going to be great. You already are. I was just trying to make you feel better" Edward started to rub my shoulder.
"Yeah, I feel so much better. Now I have to worry about inadvertently killing my son" I whispered and held EJ closer.
"Geez, when you passed the placenta, did you lose your sense of humor too" Edward teased. Since my hands were full, I kicked him.
"Alright, it wasn't funny, I'm sorry" He leaned over and kissed my forehead. "Seriously though, our son has some set of balls, he's going to be well endowed, just like his daddy. You know what I am saying?" Edward smiled widely, proud of our son's penis size. I rolled my eyes and smiled back.
The three of us sat there silently for a while. EJ between Edward and I, sharing loving glances and smiles, crooning over the baby. Holding EJ's little hands, he had a strong grip and didn't want to give me my finger back, I giggled.
"How can you love someone so much that you just met?" I asked Edward. He shrugged his shoulders.
"It's amazing isn't it?" Edward sighed. I nodded my head yes. "I love you" Edward rasped, his voice thick. I turned my head to him, meeting his gaze. His eyes were glassy and he stared lovingly into my eyes.
"I love you too" I smiled and turned my head back to EJ. I felt Edward's hand cup under my chin, turning my face to his again. He leaned over and kissed me. "Thank you" He whispered against my lips. "Isabella, you have made me the happiest man in the world. Just being with you was gift enough and then you give me something-" He pointed his eyes down to our son. "That I never knew to ask for or wanted" He paused, choked up. "Bella I -I"
I placed my finger on his lips, stopping him. He didn't have to say anymore. For I knew exactly how he felt and couldn't express it in words correctly either. EJ was a part of the both of us, most of all a part of Edward. I could thank Edward just as he thanked me, for giving me such a gift as well, besides all the love that Edward himself has given me.
"And I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the girl who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door" I dropped the accent and sang it off key, against Edward's lips, before he grasped my head, tangling my hair in his hand and crashed his lips to mine. Sparks flew, butterflies invaded my stomach, and my crotch ached; all at the same time. I pulled away first and giggled to myself. I heard Edward chuckling beside me, wiping his cheeks.
"What's so funny?" I asked curious. Edward shook his head, his chuckling now loud guffaws.
"We are so emotionally retarded" He gasped between chuckles. I shrugged and smiled. I guess we are.
"I hope we didn't pass it along" I giggled and looked down to EJ. Edward slapped his knee and laughed harder.
"He's fucked babe" I rolled my eyes again and laughed with him. Edward composed himself and we went back to staring adoringly at our son. Soon it was feeding time and we had to un-swaddle him, to keep him awake while feeding him. Another trick the nurses told us. Every time we went to feed him, he wouldn't wake up and eat. If you make him a little uncomfortable, he will wake up. Huh? He enjoyed his bottle, we watched as he sucked it down, occasionally it looked at though his eyes rolled and we would chuckle.
"Now that's a turkey leg" I giggled. "He sure is" Edward sighed and kissed my hair.
//=//=//=//=//
The first few days home from the hospital, our house was a revolving door. Our families were always over. Everyone constantly fought each other, they all wanted to hold EJ. Of course, I couldn't blame them, he is just so precious. But, I also didn't want to spoil him. When the novelty is over and they stop with the constant visits, it's not as though I can hold him every hour of the day. Plus, I also needed to get into a routine. Alice told me it was essential and I agreed with her. Changing his diaper every two hours, feeding him every four, and a nap after. Babies are adaptable and EJ will conform, work with me, if we kept to a schedule. I tried my best to keep it that way, but it's difficult when people doubt what you are trying to do and insist they know best, better than you, and you doubt yourself.
When ever he would cry or whimper, someone would suggest something and I wanted to scream. No longer truly afraid of caring for my son, I wanted to do just that. Care for my son, without everyone telling me what I should do. Maybe I am being stubborn. Okay I am. I know they are only trying to help.
I learned quickly within the few days. I just knew. When he was really hungry or if he just needed to be rocked and calmed down. Edward was great with him and we took turns during the night, getting up with him. I thoroughly enjoyed that. Sleeping while I could. Edward will be going back to work in two weeks and I didn't expect him to do any of that. When he had to work those long hours.
After the first week passed, everyone dwindled in and out still, but they didn't linger for hours like they did. The second week, I was able to get EJ into a routine, I was so happy that it was working out. And wanted to thank Rosalie and Alice who forced me to get a vibrating bouncy chair, it instantly calmed him, if I or Edward couldn't.
The only people that came by everyday was Rosalie and my mom. Rosalie would stop by during the morning and my mom would stop by in the afternoon. I enjoyed their visits, it wasn't so overwhelming when people came over one at a time. It was the crazy mob that had me wanting to pull my hair out. I would sometimes call Alice whenever I had a question and she gave me a lot of insight. I missed her and the twins. Alice or Jasper would stop by occasionally, but not together. It was freezing outside, Christmas being two weeks away, and they didn't want to take the twins out, if they didn't have to.
Christmas was to be held here. When they all discussed this and agreed, without mine or Edward's input, I panicked. Edward and I didn't have a tree, or any decorations, or the time to decorate. Since we were all a family this year, there wouldn't be Christmas eve at Alice's, Breakfast at Rosalie's, or Christmas dinner at the Cullen's. We were having one big celebration, Christmas day. I didn't want EJ to leave the house yet, but I convinced my mother and Esme, to move the celebration to the Cullen's house.
Edward and I, decided not to exchange gifts this year. We both received the best Christmas gift to each other a month early. Edward argued that EJ was my gift to him and that he just had to get me something. It was a stupid argument. I had to lay the facts straight, this year Edward gave me a house, a minivan, and a kid. What more could I want? I wanted for nothing. Edward reluctantly relented, but I still have my suspicions.
The first week Edward returned to work and we didn't have a united front, when it came to caring for EJ, I had my hands full. I used to stand on my feet for hours, assisting in surgery after surgery, days on call when it was never ending, and I was more tired now than ever before. Yet I loved every minute of being a mom, waking up multiple times a night, skipping meals because I simply didn't have the time, tickling EJ's cheek to get a smile out of him. It was all worth it. Don't get me wrong, as soon as my husband walked through the door in the evenings, I would greet him, give him time to settle down and run into the shower, washing my hair that often had baby vomit in it, changing my stinky clothes, and just relaxing my muscles under the hot soothing spray.
I exited the shower and dried off, putting on another pair of pajamas. I lived in the damn things now.
It was really quiet when I left the bathroom. This is usually the time at night when EJ gets really fussy when we try to put him down. Had Edward successfully put EJ to bed already? I quietly walked to the nursery, finding it empty. Continuing my journey, I stopped dead in my track in the living room.
Edward was asleep on the couch, EJ asleep on his chest, with Edward's hand covering his small ass. I rapidly ran to get my camera, I had to get this on film, they were both so adorable.
I took like ten of the same picture, I couldn't help myself. Then Edward's eyes started to flutter open.
"Hey" I smiled. Edward smiled back. "Sorry, I fell asleep on the job" He let out a small chuckle. I waved my hand at him. "It's easy, he's a cuddly kid"
Edward sat up and made sure not to startle EJ. We walked quietly to EJ's room, putting him down in his crib. He did not stir, I grabbed the baby monitor and turned on the sound machine. Then we quietly tip toed back out to the hall, closing the door half way. If EJ stayed asleep for a while, this would be the first night that he didn't scream when we put him down for bed.
Back in the living room, Edward and I cuddled on the couch. Heaven.
"How was your day?" I asked. Edward let out a gust of breath. "Not as interesting as yours I am sure" I giggled.
"Oh yeah, you totally missed all the fun. Especially when EJ took such a huge shit, it went all the way up his back and I had to give him a bath" I laughed. "Or when he literally peed on me" I turned to face him. "Edward, I was so impressed. It actually got on my face" I continued to laugh.
"That's my boy" Edward laughed with me. "Any thing new going on in the O.R?" I asked. I felt Edward shrug.
"Well, if by anything new, you mean Bon Secours becoming a teaching hospital, then yeah" He laughed. I turned to face him, staring at him wide eyed.
"Our small town hospital is going to be crawling with interns?" I asked incredulously. He nodded.
"They announced it this morning at the surgical meeting and I am not happy about it. Apparently the University at Scranton, needs to place a few, there won't be many, just one for each of us attendings. On Monday, I will be assigned my own intern. My intern will be with me, the entire seventy two hours that I am on-call" He sighed.
"My intern will also follow me during office hours. My own intern.....to torture" He let out a sinister chuckle. I slapped his leg.
"Promise me you won't. Don't you remember what it was like to be a student, new to the operating room, I remember during my clinicals at Orange Regional- the Doctors were so mean- I used to blink back tears, praying I wouldn't contaminate my sterile field" I ranted. I couldn't imagine what pressure must be on a new Doctor.
"Oh Love, you are so compassionate" He crooned as he rubbed my shoulders. "And you my dear are pure evil" I laughed.
"I made my dad promise me that he won't stick me with some idiot"
I heard Edward's stomach growl. I turned to face him again.
"Do you want me to fix you something?" I asked. I managed to scarf down a bowl of cereal a few hours ago, but that wasn't exactly dinner.
"No, I'm okay. I'll grab something in a little while" Edward shrugged. I stood up and pulled his hands.
"Come on, let's go raid the fridge" I laughed. I knew Edward was hungry and just wanted to enjoy the moment, but he worked so hard. I wonder if he had the time to eat today. He usually did.
"How bout I raid you" Edward deadpanned and pulled my hands back hard, making fall into his lap. I turned around and straddled his lap.
"Dr Cullen, you know better than that. We have at least another three weeks before we can-" Edward cut me off, kissing my so passionately, my heart began to beat rapidly and I felt myself get wet from his contact.
The man was hungry all right. In more ways than one. It may sound silly, this was the first open mouthed kiss we shared since we were in the hospital. We kissed chastely and embraced each other, but the temptation was too high. It wouldn't be fair to Edward, to get all worked up, with out a happy ending. I offered on many occasions to alleviate some of Edward's sexual tension and he never took me up on it. Always stating that he wasn't an animal and could wait for me. I moaned into his mouth as his tongue vigorously caressed mine. Edward growled in response and grasped my hips, pushing it down onto his arousal. Believe me baby, I know its there. I started to rock my hips against him, picking up a steady rhythm and the friction that it caused felt amazing.
Edward started to pant, trailing kisses along my jaw and neck, his hands a tangled mess in my hair. I started to rub myself against him faster. He grasped my breasts, then my back, holding me tightly to him, he started to buck his hips to me roughly. No longer sore, I wanted him, we should really lose the clothes. But before I could suggest that. Edward grunted and shuddered, grasping my hips onto him, stilling them there. I could feel his heart beating in his chest rapidly as he tried to catch his breath.
"Edward did you just-" I trailed off puzzled and looked to his face. His cheeks were pink and he gave me his trade mark crooked smirk. "Ahuh" he nodded. Shit. I made him come in his pants. I felt terrible, having to actually bite down on both my lips, to keep from laughing. Oh God I am a horrible wife. It is understandable though, if we had kept this up longer, I probably would have followed. We both needed release and haven't done so in three weeks. Geez, we are sex fiends.
"It's okay, I was just going to suggest that we um..." I stopped talking again, rethinking what I was about to say. If I was fertile before and now with just having a baby.... I shivered. Imagining getting pregnant back to back.
"What is it love?" Edward asked. I smiled at him, glad that he wasn't embarrassed. "Nothing" I shook my head. "I was just going to say that despite the way you feel, we can still do other things" I insisted. He smiled deviously at me.
"Like what? I'm down for whatever you want to do, anything new" He said in a awe like tone. I looked to him surprised. What happened to not being an animal and waiting for me? It was a stupid concept anyway and now he was contradicting himself.
"What changed your mind?" I asked. He shifted and grimaced under me, no doubt his jizz was drying on his leg or something. I rose and sat next to him.
"You called me Dr Cullen" He chuckled. "Gets me every time. Plus, I am simply going insane" I giggled.
"Do you do this-" I pointed to his cock. "Every time, someone calls you Dr Cullen?" I asked. He let out a playful growl and tickled my side, I started laughing instantly, he knew how ticklish I was.
"Edward- stop" I panted after I couldn't take it anymore. "I'm sorry Dr Cullen" I rasped, he smirked and gave me the stink eye.
"Wow, if you can't wait just a measly few weeks, we might just have to enroll you in some sex-a-holics anonymous support group or something" I teased him.
"Only if you give me road head on the way to my meetings" Edward chuckled. We sat there silently for a few minutes, while I wondered why Edward hasn't gotten up to shower yet.
"Any suggestions?" Edward asked. I shrugged. "Cause I have one" He said as he stood up. I watched him walk over to the closet and take something out of his coat pocket. He came back over and tossed something in my lap. I stared blankly at the cold metallic blue and white tube.
"Surgi-lube babe? You stole this from the hospital, instead of just going to rite-aid for some KY" I asked as he plopped down next to me.
"It's brand new, it's not like anyone used it and it's the same thing" I nodded. "What are we supposed to do with it?" I asked stupidly and then smacked my forehead with my palm. Anal sex? Really? Never thought of it as appealing before.
"Have you ever done that?" Edward asked. I shook my head no. "Do you want to?" He smiled. I shrugged.
"We can try it, I guess. Have you ever done that?" I asked him. "Once in college" He shrugged. "My ex was a real freak, turns out she was just a real slut" He laughed. "Thought I was special" He shook his head. "Not even close" He chuckled.
"Anyway, I'm going to go take a shower, why don't you meet me in bed?" He asked. I nodded and purposely stood from the couch, leaving the lube on one of the cushions.
"Hey Love, you forgot something" I gulped and turned to face him. He handed me the lube and kissed my cheek.
"I am not going to hurt you, we just have to go slow and you must relax. It won't work otherwise" I nodded and walked to our bedroom, waiting for him.
In our bedroom, I glanced in the mirror. I looked frumpy. Wearing one of Edward's huge T-shirts and flannel pants. I took them off and jumped under the covers, I didn't even want to look at myself naked yet. I still had a little bump that was by no means solid with baby. Under the surface, close to my pelvic bone, it was solid, with enlarged uterus. Holy Hell, my breasts were still huge, even after choosing not to breast feed, although they weren't as perky as they were before.
Why are you worrying about your breast? When you should be worrying about his cock going in your ass. Edward won't hurt me. True, but it's still going to feel weird regardless, stop worrying about your body. This is the first time he will see me naked since EJ was born.
One thing was for sure, if I ceased to stop my inner monologues, I would need therapy. Maybe you could get a specialist, one who deals with perverted sex fiend husbands and constant worry warts that talk to themselves. Shut up!!!
I stopped mentally talking to myself, when a flash of movement caught my attention. Edward just ran into the bedroom and jumped on the bed, standing tall over me, wearing nothing but a towel. I stared at the beads of water that he neglected to dry off, his perfect sculpted chest, his muscular arms. Damn, I missed him.
"I am Edward MacCullen of the clan MacCullen" He proudly exclaimed in that silly accent, with his hands resting on his hips.
"What's with the accent?" I laughed. Edward shrugged and sat down next to me. "You don't remember that show, you know highlander?" He asked. I nodded.
"Caught it a few weeks ago on SyFy, I thought Mac's accent was cool, even back then, when it was still on the air" I did in fact remember that show. Duncan MacCleod was hot. I crawled my fingers over to his towel.
"So you going to show me what's under that kilt?" I giggled. Edward kept his gaze on me as he took off the towel and flung it off the bed. I tried my best to keep eye contact, but in my feeble attempt to try, I quickly glanced down to his cock. He was ready.
"Like what you see, Mrs Cullen" Edward chuckled. "I do" I said as I leaned my lips towards his. We started heavily making out and trailing our hands down each others bodies. When I felt Edward's chest, flush against mine, I got a familiar jolt of electricity at the contact. Instantly excited, I hugged his body tightly to mine. I needed him.
"Did you want to you know, try that" Edward panted. Way to kill the mood, the spell was broken, I needed him in my vag that ached for his cock. Not my ass.
"Sure" I said breathlessly, reluctantly agreeing. "You trust me, right?" Edward asked as he trailed his thumb across my lips. I nodded. I did trust him. "Get on all fours, Isabella" He whispered in my ear and it went straight to my pussy. Excited again, I did as he asked.
I could feel myself blushing, holding my breath, as Edward ghosted his hands along my hips and ass.
"Breathe Bella, you have to relax" I nodded and took deep breaths. He started to rub up and down my back. Trailing his fingers down my spine, then he would end at my ass cheeks and give them a good squeeze. It felt completely erotic and good.
"So fucking sexy" Edward sighed.
I stifled a few moans, but I kept waiting for him to do something, else. Like, touch my rectum maybe?
"Edward what are you-" I turned to face him, turning my body. He steadied me, placing his hand at the small of my back.
"Always so impatient" He chuckled. "Prepare yourself, this may feel cold" He continued. I clenched my teeth and tightly closed my eyes. Damn, it was cold. It kind of tickled too. It didn't feel bad, different maybe? However, he wasn't even inside me yet. I felt Edward lean against me, reaching his hand around, he started to rub on my clit, as I felt subtle pressure in my asshole. It started to sting a little, it was definitely uncomfortable. It was pleasure and pain at the same time. Edwards fingers on my clit were tantalizing, his dick in my ass, I guess I could go through with it. I now felt full, Edward must be inside already. I breathed a sigh of relief.
"How you doing love?" Edward asked. "I'm okay, it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I thought your dick was going to split me in half" I laughed.
"That's not my dick Bella, it's just my finger" What the fuck? That shit stung too much to be just a finger.
"Oh fuck this" I nearly shouted, cupping my butt cheeks and pulling away from him. I turned to face him. "Edward, I'm too nervous. It hurt. I- I can't do this, can we wait till I'm drunk or something" I sheepishly asked.
"Shhh love, it's okay" He chuckled and pulled me to him. "It's not that big of a deal. I just thought we could try something new since my usual place of worship is under construction" He laughed. Just then I heard EJ crying through the baby monitor. Saved by the baby!
"I'll be right back" I said as I left Edward's arms and grabbed my bathrobe, pulling it on as I went to the nursery. EJ's face was all scrunched up, he was screaming, showing me his gums, tears streaming down his face. Even crying he was a cute kid. I cradled him in my arms and started to rock him. He stopped crying immediately.
"Me and you have to stick together" I crooned. "We make a great team, you just saved me from daddy and his magical rectal sizer" I laughed.
"I heard that!" Edward shouted. Fuck, I forgot about the baby monitor.
