Chapter Thirty Six
Marriage: I never knew it could be like this. We had only been married a few months, and every day, I loved Edward more. Separations were physically painful, my heart breaking on the few occasions we were separated. All that I was, I had given to him. I couldn't bear to think about the years without him. This was my life now, and I would never have to let go.
"Hello, Gracie." Esme beamed as Grace reached out of my arms for her.
"Nan Na." Grace smiled, placing her little hands on Esme's face.
"Bella, I swear I love this child more every time I see her."
"I think Grace feels the same way about you, Esme." I smiled as we walked into the house. "Is Carlisle home?"
"No, dear. He's working." Esme settled Grace on her hip. "Do you want a coffee?"
"Please." I had become so close to Esme since moving into the cottage. Now that Edward and I were married, I looked at her as a second mom.
"When is Edward due back?" She asked, placing Grace on the floor. We both giggled when Grace raced towards me, stumbling and falling against my legs.
"In two weeks." I replied, picking Grace up.
"You are such a little monkey!" I beamed at my daughter.
"I am sure the time will fly. Edward hates being away from you both."
"I was thinking of surprising him with a visit."
"Oh Bella, he would love that. The only reason he couldn't take the two of you in the first place, was because Grace was so ill." Esme placed a coffee next to me on the breakfast bar. "She seems a lot better now."
"Yeah, she had such a bad cold, my poor angel."
"Such a shame Grace had to come down with a temperature just before you were due to travel. I wasn't sure Edward would leave." Esme's eyes twinkled.
Edward hated leaving Grace, he worried that she was so ill. I finally convinced him that the worst was over, so, with much grumbling and last minute care instructions, he finally agreed to go. Although he didn't like it, he still had his duties to the band.
Esme and I sat in the garden watching Grace play with the in the mini gardening set Carlisle had bought her. She was wandering around with her pink little watering can, watering the flowers. It was so cute to watch.
"I did have my doubts about you, Bella." Esme mused. "When Edward first mentioned you, I was worried, mostly because of your wealth, and then all that business with Alex Volturi happened... I was scared for my son. I had never seen him so broken."
"We spent a long time destroying each other." I grimaced. "I know a lot of it was my fault - I should have realised what I had in the first place. Your son is an amazing man, Esme, and a wonderful father. Even now, I don't feel worthy of his love, but I try to be worthy of him. He is my everything; without him I wouldn't have Grace... I'd have nothing"
"You complete him, Bella. Somehow, Edward always knew it was you."
"I love him more than anything. I never wanted to hurt him. Somehow, it just got so out of hand, hurting us both."
"You're here now, Bella, that is all that matters. Finally you can live your lives together." Esme touched my face. "Thank you for loving him the way he needs to be loved. You keep him grounded."
"Hardly." I smirked. "Edward does have a little bit of an ego - we all know that." Esme laughed with me. "But I trust him with my life. I know he would never hurt me."
"That's what grounds him; the faith you have always had in him. It made him take flight, become the man I knew he always could be." Esme hugged me tightly, tears in her eyes. "You are my daughter now, Bella. You and Grace have completed him, and our family."
When Grace and I got home, I booked the flights to see Edward. I hadn't seen him in three weeks, and having to wait another two was just too much. I couldn't wait any longer to see my husband. My husband: my heart still soared when I thought that, and always would.
oxoxox
"Do you have ID with you, Miss?" Emmet teased by the doorway. We had finally reached the hotel in Milan. "You're not another one of those crazy fans with Edward's love child are you? This cute bundle definitely does have his hair colour. What is his wife going to say?"
"Funny, Emmet, and risky. I'm armed with a sleeping toddler, who will not be happy if she's woken up." I grinned at him. "Is he here?"
"He's on the top floor in the bar."
"The bar?" I asked, alarmed. God, I hope he wasn't drinking himself fucking stupid with Garret.
"Yeah, but its fine, Bella. Come on... you'll see." Emmet grabbed my bags, handing them to a security man before leading me to the elevator. Grace shifted slightly against my shoulder, mumbling in her sleep.
"Grace gets cuter each time I see her." Emmet sighed, watching her just as the door opened. "He's through there, alone. Did you want me to take Grace? She can sleep in our room. Rose will love having her."
"Are you sure?" I asked, as Emmet took her from me. "Edward will want to see her, so we won't be long."
"Yeah, its fine. You guys are still in your honeymoon period, so you need a bit of alone time." Emmet winked as I stepped out of the lift to find Edward.
Beautiful music filled the corridor, tugging at my heart. I paused, listening. Only Edward could play something that spoke to my soul. I followed the notes to the bar. On the far side of the room stood a grand piano with the most beautiful man in the world sat playing at it. Edward was lost in his music.
I stepped over the threshold, pausing again when he began singing, still unaware that I was watching him. His words were the most poetic I'd ever heard, each word melting into my heart as he sang them. By the third verse I had no doubt this song was about us.
The words of the chorus were swimming around in my head against the beautiful melody Edward was playing.
Playing with fire, I know you're going to break my heart tonight.
I'm playing with fire (Playing with fire)
It was our love, described in perfect verse.
Tears fell, knowing Edward had put his heart and soul into this song. He stopped playing, clearly unhappy with something, as he began scribbling on a piece of paper
I released a breath I didn't realise I was holding, my heart aching that he had stopped.
"That was beautiful."
"Bella!" Edward beamed, crossing the room in a heartbeat. "What are you doing here?" Edward smiled, kissing me as I wrapped my arms around him.
"I wanted to surprise you." I smiled against his lips.
"You have no idea how happy I am that you did." Edward began kissing down my neck. One touch, and I was yearning already.
"What happen to your guitar?" I nodding towards the grand piano.
"Some songs need a special touch." Edward ran his hands through my hair. "What did you think? It still needs a lot of work."
"It does? It sounded perfect to me."
"Garret wants to put it on the next album. He thinks it's one of those life changing songs that no one will ever forget."
"I'll never forget it. It's more than beautiful." I smiled while my hands wandered down his chest. God I had missed him. Edward kissed me softly and I heard him close the bar door and lock it. "What are you doing?" I asked, as he pulled him into his arms.
"Bella, we have a grand piano." Edward smirked, picking me up and walking to the piano before gently placing me on it. "I need your help to inspire me."
"And how do you propose I do that?" I teased, opening my legs so Edward could push himself against me.
"Screaming my name while you come on it might help." Edward grin was wicked as he hands ran up my skirt. I groaned as I felt Edward hook his fingers into my panties and drag them down.. "I fucking love taking you on a piano." Edward moaned, crashing his lips against mine and I surrendered to him.
Edward spread my legs wider apart, my breath hitching as I felt him pulling me closer to him. The coldness of the piano against his warm, loving hands made me shudder as I gripped the side of the piano. I felt his tongue dip inside me and struggled to adjust myself as he pulled me further down onto his tongue.
"Ed... Edward..." I groaned, my hands finding his hair as he swirled his tongue against my clit. "Fuck... don't ... stop..."
"Wasn't planning to, love." Edward whispered. I felt his fingers deep inside me as he sucked on my bundle of nerves. "Fuck... Bella." Edward growled as I began thrusting against his fingers, needing more friction.
I moaned, feeling the pleasure begin to rise through my body... anytime now... the fireworks were coming - I could feel them.
Edward could sense my body building and increased his pace, pushing his tongue further inside me, sucking and licking. Holy hell, it felt so good. I screamed out his name in ecstasy, gripping his hair while Edward steadied my legs, keeping me close to him as I finally fell off my cliff.
I was still coming down from my high as I watched Edward drop his pants in front of me. Would I ever get use to his perfect cock? Probably not, Bella, if you think about the things he can do to you with it.
"Fuck, Bella." Edward pulled me roughly against him. "I need you so much." I whimpered, feeling his hard length at my soaking entrance.
"I think I need you more." I whimpered again, pushing myself against him.
"We'll see." Edward's voice was husky. I gripped his shoulders for support as he slowly he entered me. I hoped this was a fuck - three weeks without him was too long and I needed him to fuck me right now.
Edward began thrusting as I clung to him with my legs wrapped around his perfect body. The sounds he was making spurred me, pushing me. I was vaguely aware of words, sounds tumbling from my lips, rambling.
"Fuck me... harder... fuck... yes."
"Fuck... Bella," Edward suddenly pulled my top off in a swift motion, pulling my bra away a moment later. "Fuck... I love you." Edward groaned, taking my breasts in his hands. I whimpered, leaning back against the piano. "You are so wet... it's fucking incredible." Edward pushed deeper, hitting my g spot with every thrust, feeding my release.
"You're going to come, aren't you, love? I can feel you tightening around me." I was arching up to him, thrusting against him. He took my nipple in his mouth while massaging my other breast. I was screaming his name begging for more. "Every piano we see, Bella - I am going to fuck you on it." Edward growled, pushing, dragging me closer to the cliff. I felt it coming, my body beginning to tingle.
"I am going to make you scream my name, love. Are you ready?" Fuck, I was ready. I just couldn't say it. "Come for me, Isabella." A hand slid down my body, his fingers playing with my clit as he thrust in and out. The pressure, the pleasure - it was too much and I fell.
"EDWARD!" I screamed, as I fell off the cliff, holding on to him for dear life, wanting to take every ounce of him with me. Edward followed soon after, emptying myself into me completely, moaning my name in worship.
"Was that inspiring enough?" I panted, clinging to him as we came down from our high.
"You have no idea, Mrs Cullen." Edward smirked, kissing my lips as he lifted me off the piano.
"Grace is here, too. Rose and Emmet are looking after her." Edwards face lit up then he kissed me fiercely.
"How has she been?" He asked as I put my underwear and top back on.
"She is fine. It was just a cold, and a twenty four hour temperature." I smiled, touching his face.
"Can we go and see her?" Edward asked.
"Of course" I smiled at his eagerness to see his daughter. "That's why we both came. Grace is missing you like crazy."
We got into the elevator and I looked at the lust in Edward's eyes. "Don't even think about it - this hotel doesn't have twenty four floors." I teased.
"Did I say anything?" Edward smirked, pushing me against the lift wall.
"Edward," I giggled, feeling his hands moving towards my breasts. "What is the name of your song?" I moaned, trying to make conversation so he wouldn't take me in the elevator. Edward was winning at this moment in time.
"Playing with Fire." Edward murmured, kissing down my neck. He moved to push a button and the lift stopped dead. "Which is how I felt until you became my wife. Every touch we shared we always burned each other." Edward's hands trailed up my skirt, skimming in between my legs through my panties. "It never stopped me coming back to you, though, Bella. I just couldn't get enough. Just like now, you drive me insane with desire."
I moaned again, feeling his hands slide inside my panties. I was already drenched, ready for him. My panting began as I felt his fingers slip inside me. Fuck, here comes round two.
"I knew it was meant to be like this. You and I, taking on the world together. You give me the fire to want more in life. I want the world so I can give you and Grace the stars." All I could do was groan as Edward pushed his fingers in and out of me. I was clinging to him, thrusting against his hand.
"Fucking hell Bella you have only just been fucked on the piano and now you want more." Fuck, yes I wanted more. "You and I, Bella. It's all I've ever wanted."
"Fuck. Edward." I moaned as his hands dove up my top, straight under my bra. Edward flicked his thumbs over my nipples, already hard and sensitive. I wanted to fuck him, right now. "You... are... god... that's good." I panted, grabbing his trousers. Foreplay wasn't enough.
"Bella, love." Edward grinned as I made quick work of his trousers. "What are you doing?"
"Having sex in an elevator. What does it look like?" I teased, pushing him back and taking him in my hand. God, he was so ready for round two, too.
Edward lifted me up and slammed me against the wall, "You see what you do to me?" Edward growled, pushing himself against me. "Its pure fire when I am with you. I just can't control it."
I took Edward's length in my hand, stroking it. He hissed through his teeth, tearing away my panties.
"You are in so much trouble." Edward cupped my ass, lifting me up to push me against the wall. "I am going to fuck your tight pussy so hard you won't walk straight for a week"
Fuck, dirty talk. Another surge of moisture between my thighs.
"I don't care if anyone walks in. I won't stop until you have been well and truly fucked."
"Fucking hell, Edward." I moaned, feeling his cock twitch at my entrance. "Get on with it, please."
Edward chuckled against my neck and thrust into me, hard. I let out a whimper, wrapping my legs tighter around him. Edward hands took a firm hold of my ass to grind harder into me, pushing deeper with each thrust.
My fingers slid over my nipples to heighten the experience.
"Fuck, Bella." Edward panted, pushing deeper. "That is so fucking hot." I gave him a wicked smile and quickly removed my top, pulling my bra down to run my finger over my pebbled nipple. Edward clamped himself harder against me as he took my other nipple in his mouth.
"So... good." I managed to choke out, feeling my body begin to shudder.
"I can never get enough of fucking you." Edward's words were pure lust as he fucked me hard. "Forever, Bella. I will want to fuck you forever." Edward was close too, and my orgasm erupted, pulling him with me. We came together, kissing each other fiercely as our bodies shook with the intense fireworks.
Edward rode out our orgasms slowly as his hands relaxed "Fuck me, Bella." Edward breathed, resting his head against my chest. Our panting was all I could hear, but my body... my body was humming with bliss.
"I know." I laughed, running my hands through his hair. "Fireworks - what more can I say?" Edward laughed to, kissing me tenderly before he slowly pulled out of me.
"Earthshattering fireworks." Edward smirked while we hastily straightened our clothing. .
I was smiling as we walked down the corridor to find Grace. My body was still humming with pleasure as I held Edward's hand.
"Do you enjoy that?" I asked.
"I think you know I did, love." Edward rolled his eyes at me. "I thought I was meant to be the sex crazed one?"
"You must be rubbing off on me." I teased as Edward knocked on Rose's door.
"Hey," Emmet smiled. "Perfect timing - Grace has just woken up."
I stood by the door watching Edward as Grace ran over to him, screaming with excitement.
"Why is it every female has to scream at him?" Emmet joked.
"Hey, Bella" Rose hugged me. "Grace seems a lot better."
"Yeah." I smiled, looking down at Rose touching her belly. "How are you anyway? How was the scan?"
"It's all looking good." Rose smiled, holding her belly and Emmet walked to her side.
"We'll leave you guys to rest. Thanks for having Grace for us." Edward carried Grace, who was resting on his shoulder, stroking his top. It was so adorable.
"Any time." Rose smiled "We need the practice."
"You two will be amazing parents." Edward smiled. "You guys love each other - that's the golden rule to parenting."
"Thanks, Yoda." Emmet called after us.
"Have you been a good girl for Mommy?" Edward asked Grace. She nodded. "Are you sure?" Edward smiled. "Did you miss me?" Grace planted a big kiss on his lips and put her hand on his face.
"I'll take that a 'yes'" Edward beamed.
Grace and I stayed with Edward for the last two weeks of his tour. Seeing him on stage from the side lines was amazing. He was now an artist in his own right, and the band was magic on stage together. Edward had come a long way from the green eyed bar man I first fell in love with, but I had never felt prouder to be his wife and mother of his child.
I began writing my own book. Edward's love inspired me in ways I couldn't understand, and he knocked me breathless when he bought me my own small publishing company in Seattle. I, however, had one gift I was still desperate to give him.
oxoxoxo
"Bella, are you okay, sweetheart?" Edward called through the bathroom door. I was counting the days in my head, and I was definitely two weeks late now. Was I pregnant? I hoped so - I had been off the pill for six months now. Could this be it?
"I'm fine." I walked out to see Edward, in just his sweats, playing the guitar.
"Are you sick?"
"Nope." I smiled, sitting down next to him. "I'm two weeks late." I whispered into his ear.
"You mean... you... do you think you might be..." Edward's eyes burned into mine with pure emotion.
"We'll have to do a test."
"Do you have one?"
"Yes."
"Well?" Edward was up, racing to the bathroom. "What are we waiting for?" I sniggered, following him.
"Don't get your hopes up, okay?" I closed the door to pee on the stick - it was the only part I really didn't need Edward to watch.
I had no idea who was more excited while we sat, waiting for the test. Edward was tapping his fingers on my knee while I was holding his hand so tight it must have hurt. Suddenly the line began to appear and my breath stopped.
"What does it mean?" Edward asked.
"We're having another baby!" I screeched, jumping on him, euphoric. Edward kissed me with so much passion, I could have been on fire. When I finally pulled away, his eyes were wet with emotion.
"Bella." Edward gently cupped my face "I love you so much."
"I love you, too. I guess I should have an appointment at the doctors. I can't be more than four weeks along, at most."
"I can't believe it... I'm going to be a daddy again!"
"And this child will love you just as much as Grace does." I reached up to kiss him.
"I don't know how much more my heart can take - it's overloaded with love."
"I can't think of anything I want more than another child of yours growing inside me." I kissed him, pushing him down onto the bed. Edward rolled me over as we lost ourselves in total happiness and each other.
Never in my life did I think I could have a happiness like this. Looking into Edward's green eyes, I had everything. I was the richest woman in the world, and not because I held a famous rock god in my arms. No, to me, he would always be my green eyed barman who stole my heart simply by the way he loved me. Just the person he was made him better and brighter than any other soul on this earth, and I was grateful that fate had destined us together.
Who knew that fairy tales really could come true?
Review me. It's almost over!
