Chapter 37: ETL
EPOV:
"How you holding up papa?" a voice asked causing me to jump up.
"Jesus Christ Haley you scared the shit out of me." I gasped.
"Well you have been drooling on those reports for almost an hour. I have to go track down my supply of Nerf darts now because they all ricocheted off of your back going god knows where and you didn't even budge." she laughed sitting on the edge of my desk. "Rough night?"
"Well apart from waking up at three o'clock to go get Bella chicken nuggets and a frosty and there's the whole her waking me up for sex. I swear she craves sex more than she does weird foods." I breathed rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.
Haley was like my best guy friend partially because she was a lesbian and the butch half of the relationship. We talked about things that would probably make Alice or even Rose cringe if I mentioned them and for that I was grateful.
Bella was now four months pregnant or nineteen weeks it had been about two weeks since Rose and Emmett's wedding and they were already living close to Seattle. Alice and Jasper were almost finished moving but staying in Forks until they were done. They refused to let us help them move because of the surprise or whatever.
Over the past two weeks, Bella's appetite both sexually and food related, the size of her bump and her cravings were doubled. Sometimes she would meet me by the door and have me take her there. Other times she would have me bring lunch to the label and we would eat in her office resulting in her bent over her desk with our pants at our ankles.
"What? The Edward Cullen is tired of having sex?" Haley laughed.
"That's just it though Haley. It's not that I am tired of having sex it's just sometimes I would like to have an actual conversation with her about the baby but instead we end up having sex. We haven't talked about baby names yet. We have known the sex of the baby for like three weeks and we haven't discussed that or the nursery."
"Hey, never had any babies. Fuck I've never seen a penis before so I don't know what it's like to be all addicted to the peen but maybe you should talk to her. Like sit down and have a conversation with her. Hell if you have to buy a chastity belt do it."
"God can you be serious about this please?" I shook my head.
"Nope, I can't. Get back to work, you have about thirty more minutes before you have to go to lunch. Like I said just talk to her. Don't let her talk you into lunch in her office, make her meet you at the café that should help." she laughed shaking her head as she pulled a Nerf dart out of my coffee cup. "Damn Cullen you were out of it."
"What can I say? I'm worn out physically mentally you name it." I yawned and turned back to the reports on my desk. "Thanks Haley."
"No problem." she called as she walked back to her desk.
I finished the reports a couple of minutes before I was scheduled to meet Bella for lunch when my phone beeped.
Hey babe wanna meet me at the office? I wanna show you something!
My back screamed in protest but my 'member' thought otherwise.
Shit!
I typed a reply before running out of the office: I'll be there in ten with lunch. Luv you.
"What the hell happened to conversation Edward?" Haley laughed as she walked down the hall with Brooke.
"It's ridiculous, conversation is for saps." I called as the elevator shut.
Twelve minutes later I had our lunch in a bag as I walked through the doors of Rock Gods. Marnie was sitting at the front desk talking on the phone she scribbled something on her note pad and held it up: Hey she's in her office. It's so cute.
What the hell is so cute about my pregnant girlfriend wanting me to screw her six ways to Sunday every minute of every day?
It was true I was kind of taken aback by Marnie's smile about the fact that Bella was going to attack me when I walked through the door. In more than one way it was kind of creepy and twisted that her bosses might know that we weren't just eating lunch behind closed doors.
I walked up to her door and took a deep breath. I couldn't deny her anything at all. If she wanted me to have sex with her until my dick fell off I would.
God please don't make it come to that please. I silently prayed as I twisted the door knob and entered the office.
Bella was sitting on the edge of her desk looking down at her belly. She was wearing an old black band tee that used to be a little loose on her but now Jack's Mannequin was stretched out across her chest. Oh yes, the tatas have grown as well. She had started wearing skirts ever since our rendezvous started but today she wore a pair of her maternity jeans.
She looked up as I shut the door and locked it but didn't move. I saw that she had been crying a little but that was normal. Bella cried about everything lately. "Hey baby what's wrong?" I asked as I set our lunch on the desk and hugged her.
"Oh I want to show you something. I just don't want you to freak out." she said.
"Okay is everything alright?" I started to worry.
"Just wait." she said pushing me away and standing up.
Bella pulled her shirt up and I noticed that she was wearing a soft cotton grey bra. Her breast were tender so no lace and under wire were worn lately. She turned around so that she was facing me and grabbed my hand placing it on her stomach.
Immediately I could feel the baby kicking my hand hard. She was an active little thing. I laughed as she proceeded to tap dance where my hand was. Bella pulled my hand away and I noticed that you could actually see the baby moving on the outside.
"Wow it looks like you ate some Mexican jumping beans." I laughed.
"I was thinking more of aliens, it's creepy huh?" she said watching a foot print show up on the front of her stomach.
"I think it's beautiful." I whispered kissing her.
We kissed sweetly for a few minutes allowing the baby to kick my stomach through Bella's but we pulled away when her stomach growled loudly. "Well someone is hungry let's eat." she laughed.
We sat at the desk and I broke out the sandwiches and pickles I had ordered. Bella pulled her shirt back on and pulled out two bottles of cranberry juice out of the little cooler she had under her desk. I needed to get her a mini fridge for her office but it always slipped my mind.
"So how was your day at work so far?" she asked with her mouth full.
"It was okay. I fell asleep on the reports and woke up to find that Haley was shooting darts at me. One landed in my coffee." I laughed. "Her aims is getting better."
"Your drinking coffee?" her eyes narrowed.
Oh shit. Damn it. Truth or lie truth or lie?
"Well I've been extra tired lately baby. I have to do something to keep myself awake." I told the truth.
Seriously the midnight runs for food were nothing but my body was in dire need of a break from the sex. Three or four times a day, every day wasn't normal.
Bella looked down at her food and pushed it away, tears welling up in her eyes. "I'm sorry." she said quietly.
Damn it. Now you made her cry. Fix it ass hole.
"No baby don't be sorry it's just… I need to sleep. It's not that I don't want you because I do all the time, it's just I need a breather. We haven't really talked lately it's all physical. Great now I sound like a chick." I muttered.
"No you don't." Bella sniffed. "I thought you wanted to have sex with me all the time."
"Baby I do it's just not physically possible to do it all the time." I strained the last three words.
"Well I read that sometimes women get put on bed rest or there are other reasons why they can't have sex. Once the baby is born we will have to wait six weeks and then there's the whole taking care of a newborn thing . I thought you might want to do it while we could. I don't want you to leave when we can't." she sobbed.
I stood up and walked over to her pulling her up into my arms. I let her cry for a little while into my shirt not caring that it was getting drenched in her tears. She held onto me like I was her lifeline and my heart sunk.
"Bella I would never leave you or go anywhere else just because we couldn't have sex. That isn't what our relationship is all about you know? What would make you think that?" I asked her pulling away.
"I don't know I'm just paranoid. My body is changing and I'm afraid you won't want me anymore and you'll leave to find something better. Just ignore me I'm just a psychotic pregnant lady." she tried to joke as she pulled away but I refused to let her go.
"Bella, I would never ignore you. Sure you think some crazy thought's I'll give you that but I love you. Only you. There will never be anything better than you baby. If you ever chose not to be with me I wouldn't want to live because I couldn't be without you." I told her kissing her softly. "Besides you're my psychotic pregnant lady."
"Edward." she laughed. "Thank you. You always know what to say to make me feel better. And there won't ever be a time when I don't want you."
"Just wait until you're pushing." I laughed. "Come on you barely ate."
"Alright." she said as she sat back down. "I miss talking to you, you know?"
"I missed talking to you too baby. God we are talking like we haven't seen each other every day." I laughed.
"Well I haven't really seen you. It's been a haze of lust filled eyes and jumping your bones." she giggled.
"So, I've been thinking about stuff we haven't talked about, naming the baby or the nursery really. Alice stopped calling but I think that is just because they are moving and she has other things on her mind. But I know as soon as she gets here she is going to bombard us."
"Well names, I've been playing with a couple but I don't want to say just yet." Bella blushed. "As far as nurseries go. I have been thinking about the whole fantasy theme. You know fairies mushrooms and butterflies? That way as she grows she could be living in a fairy tale."
"That's perfect. I love it." I smiled picturing our daughter growing up in a meadow like bedroom.
"Really?" Bella asked biting her bottom lip.
"Really. Well I have a confession. I would have gone with anything as long as it wasn't Hello Kitty. There's only so much pink a man can take." I grimaced thinking back to the picture that Alice had showed Bella.
"Well I want the walls a soft green maybe some murals. Esme still paints doesn't she?" Bella asked before biting into her sandwich.
"Yep, I'll call her later and ask her to plan a trip out here with Renee." I said knowing that Bella had been wanting to visit her parent's over the last couple of weeks but we didn't have the time or in my case the energy for the trip.
"That's perfect. I'm taking Friday off so if they want they could stay the weekend." Bella bounced.
"Okay. I have to get back to work. I'll see you when I get home." I stood up and threw away my garbage before kissing her mouth. "You had mustard on you lip."
Bella blushed and grabbed a napkin wiping her mouth. "Alright try again." she said before puckering up.
I laughed against her lips and kissed her soft lips. "I love you baby I'll be home after five."
"I love you too."
I kissed her stomach laughing when the baby kicked my lips. "Love you too She-bah."
"Oh we don't call her that anymore. Marnie used to have a dog named She-bah and I don't want my child being referred to as a Dutch hound." Bella laughed.
"Okay I'll try again." I said leaning down and kissing her stomach again. "Love you too baby girl."
"That's better. She is doing cartwheels or something. I think someone loves their daddy probably as much as mommy does." Bella glowed.
"I love you baby see you soon."
"Love you too."
I walked back into the building smiling widely and Haley was the first to comment. "So was your lunch break good?" she laughed.
"Yep and guess what?" I asked.
"Um, what?" she played along.
"We actually talked." I laughed.
Haley made a big show of gasping ad wiping away a fake tear. "That is so wonderful I didn't know you had it in you kid." she faked sobbed into her hand.
"Me neither." I rolled my eyes and walked back to my desk.
I finished the rest of the reports and helped Marcus, one of the new journalists for the business section of the paper by answering a couple of his questions. I was going to leave early but Marcus asked me to help him write one of his columns and I couldn't refuse, it was part of my job to help them.
I was running late. Marcus was an obsessive writer. He wrote with a vast knowledge of grammar even though his topic was mostly numbers. After about two hours I was ready to strangle him but Haley shot me with a dart to get my attention and gave me a death glare. I went back and obediently helped him finish his column.
I ran home to find Bella's car in the driveway. I smiled knowing that she made it home safely. I ran up the front steps and busted into the house thinking that she was going to jump me but instead I was hit with an intoxicating smell.
"Bells?" I called through the house.
"In the kitchen babe." she called back over the music that was playing.
I entered the kitchen to find my beautiful pregnant girlfriend dancing around the kitchen to Weezer. She danced around and looked me in the eye before singing along. "Beverly Hills that's where I want to be." she sang as she bounced around. "Living in Beverly Hills."
I laughed as she stirred something in a pot. "Look at all those movie stars they are so beautiful and clean when the housemaids scrub the floors they get the spaces in between." she danced around with one hand on her bump and another acting like she was scrubbing the counter. "What?" she laughed looking up at me.
"You're just really cute." I smiled walking over to her and kissing her. "What-cha cookin?"
"Do you really want to know?" She asked coyly.
"Yes."
"Really really really want to know?" she smiled.
"No. I changed my mind surprise me." I said turning around.
"Wait, you were supposed to be all what will it take for me to crack and tell you." she pouted.
"Fine, what will it take for you to crack?" I chuckled playing along.
"I want to pick the movie we watch after dinner. You have to pop the kettle corn when we need a refill and I want you to rub my feet."
"Damn Bella that's an awful lot I think I'll just hold off and wait." I joked and her face fell. "Kidding, aw come on baby I was just joking. You have yourself a deal now tell me what you're cooking."
"Goulash. With rotini noodles and bowties because we couldn't decide. Homemade tomato sauce and three kinds of sausage with cheddar cheese and pepper jack." she smiled and I think I saw the smallest hint of lust in her eyes.
Food arouses a pregnant woman? Hmm, I need to remember to look that up later. I thought.
"Sounds perfect but are you going to be okay with the spicy cheese?" I asked rubbing her stomach.
Bella suffered from brutal heartburn that lasted well into the night for the past couple of days. She shook her head and turned around walking to one of the cabinets. "I called Dr. Keene's office and she told me that Rolaids are safe. All I have to do is pop a couple after dinner and I'll be straight."
"That's good. I was starting to get worried about you." I took my tie off and threw it on the counter.
"Yeah me too. I felt like our little one had a flamethrower or something just using it full blast." she laughed. "Go change and I'll have everything on the table before you get back."
"Alright. What movie do you want to watch? I'll put it on so that it's ready."
"Hmm, a scary one how about Dead Silence?" she smiled evilly.
I threw my head back and groaned. She knew I hated dolls and the fact that these dolls killed people and talked just made it worse. "Bella please?" I was ready to get on my knees and beg.
"Nope, not a chance. I told you what we are having for dinner therefore we watch what I want. Besides I want an excuse to cuddle with you when you get scared." she giggled as she pulled some plates out of the cabinet.
"You don't have to have an excuse to cuddle with me." she gave me her best glare. "Fine I'll put it on. Be back in a few."
"Love you baby." she laughed.
I changed out of my slacks and into a pair of grey sweat pants and a white muscle tee. Bella had already changed into her shorts and tank top before I got home so I figured we were going for comfort instead of fashion. Alice would shit bricks if she saw what we wore to the dinner table.
I grabbed the movie and put it in before I went to the dining room. Bella was sitting across from my chair smiling sweetly at me as I sat down. She dished out the goulash and handed me my plate. "Here you go handsome."
"What happened to 'let's not be THAT couple'?" I laughed. "Thank you sweet thang."
"Eww don't try to pull off the southern accent it reminds me of Jasper and that is creepy." she shuddered. "I don't know what's up with me I'm just in a really good mood."
"I'm glad." I said taking a bite and moaning. "Bella this is sooo good."
"Thanks I was walking through the grocery store and it was just calling to me." she smiled as she shoveled food into her mouth.
We were silent for the rest of dinner the only sounds were the forks scraping against the plates and our swallowing or chewing. I offered to do the dishes while Bella started the movie but she wouldn't have any of it. She washed and I dried and put away the dishes.
We cuddled up on the couch as she started the movie. I had my head in her lap while she sat up with her feet on the coffee table playing with my hair. Every now and then I would feel the baby kicking my head and Bella would laugh when she noticed the small movement.
The movie started and I felt the baby kick the back of my head a couple more times. I smiled taking her actions as her way of telling me 'don't be scared daddy I'm right here'. Bella played with my hair for a little while but halfway through the movie I felt her take a deep breath and her hand fall.
I turned my head to find that she had fallen asleep so I snatched the remote from the table and turned the blasted movie off. There was no way I was watching that while she slept. I laid my head back in her lap and was almost asleep when I heard her start to mumble something.
"Edward go get her I'm sleepy." she mumbled.
"Go get who baby?" I asked out loud knowing that she was dreaming about our daughter.
"Evie duh, you can't hear her cry?"
"Evie huh?"
She didn't answer me but I watched the smile grow on her sleeping face. I smiled at the name and said it out loud. "Evie Cullen."
I don't know when but I must have fallen asleep because I woke up to Bella poking me in the forehead chanting 'I really have to pee, I really have to pee.' over and over again. I jumped up and helped her stand up.
"Bella why didn't you wake me up?" I laughed as she scooted off to the bathroom.
"Can't talk gotta pee. She is bouncing on my bladder." she said as she slammed the door.
I sat laughing quietly to myself and even harder when she walked back into the room glaring. "I can hear you, you know? Why are you laughing? Your daughter is using my bladder as a bounce house and I almost peed on you." she growled with her hands on her ever growing hips.
"I'm sorry." I yawned and remembered her sleep talking the night before. "Did you dream last night?"
"Nothing I remember why?"
"Because you said something and I was wondering if you remembered."
"Tell me."
"Nah, it's nothing big you just called our daughter by her name." I shrugged walking past her to the kitchen. "I feel like French toast today what ab-"
"Edward Anthony Cullen you tell me right now." Bella screamed jumping on my back and almost knocking me down.
"You said go get her, she's sleepy." I said.
"That isn't her name. She?" she shook her head. I could feel her blood boiling.
"I asked you who and you said Evie. I asked you who Evie was but you fell back asleep or whatever." I said.
"Evie?" she looked confused.
"Yep Evie Cullen." I smiled rubbing her stomach.
"Huh, that's not even on my list. I was thinking Jasmine, Katie, Ste-" I put my hand over her mouth.
"You definitely called her Evie." I said.
"What do you think?"
"I like it. Evie Cullen, she needs a middle name. Maybe you can take a nap and come up with something unconsciously."
"NO! I want to be a part of this while I am awake. What about Evie Joy Cullen. Because she is a joy to have. No that sounds weird or a Christmas card no. umm." Bella scratched her head lost in thought.
I went to the kitchen and started making breakfast when I heard her squeal and run through the door way. "I got it I got it." she bounced.
"What?"
"Evie Elizabeth Cullen. After your grandmother." she said.
Bella and I grew up together, both sets of her grandparents had died before she was born, so growing up we shared mine on my mother's side because both of my father's parent's were killed before I was even thought of. Bella and my grandma Liz were especially close and when she passed away I think she took it harder than I had.
"That's perfect." I smiled.
