Bella POV:
After a few days Anthony was settled and I could finally breathe. It's strange, being in a new environment when all of your memories come from an old one, but now I can look forward to making new memories; memories that finally include Edward.
I've never seen Edward so youthful and content. It's as if all of his stress from work is alleviated as soon as he walks through the front door and sees his son. Edward arrives home every day at five forty-five, and every day Anthony sits in the middle of the foyer to eagerly await his father's return. I smile at the thought of Edward dropping his briefcase in the entryway to free his arms so he can hold his son.
We fell into a routine in our first week, we eat breakfast together as a little family, I edit and care for Anthony when Edward is at work, and we spend the night together eating dinner, playing games, and watching movies. Edward's patience is endless; he will play go-fish with our son for hours without the smallest complaint. Anthony is still scared at night, which I suppose is only natural, this being a new place and all. But regardless of that fact, Edward still finds time to make love to me. Mostly in the shower where the water masks the sounds of our moans. It's been blissful.
As the excitement has begun to wear off I finally realize how tired I am. Moving has really taken it out of me and I can't help but feel forty rather than in my twenties. I've found myself napping during the day, which is something I have never done in the past. Anthony always wakes me up though; with a toy in hand he always insists that mommy plays with him. Anthony has been more energetic than usual and if not for Alice, I don't know how I would manage.
She insisted on babysitting tonight. Pete has been dying for a playdate with Anthony almost as much as I have been dying for a night alone with Edward. On the drive to Alice's I take a quick detour to Voxx for a latte. I can't stand coffee and only drink it when it is the only option, but if I have a night alone with Edward, I know I will need my energy.
"Cocoa mommy," Anthony asks as we wait in line.
"Baby if you drink hot chocolate you are going to be awake all night." I can't imagine doing that to Alice. Pete is energetic enough on his own.
"Mommy! I wake to see movie."
Anthony is fussy and I pick him up so he can rest his head on my chest. Being held always calms him and whenever I sense a tantrum I hold him in my arms until his mood shifts. I have to admit, I am incredibly lucky to have such a well-mannered child. Even as a baby he had a good temperament.
"You can have an apple juice Anthony."
"You pick up night," Anthony asks as he plays with my hair.
"Baby I thought you wanted to have a sleepover with Pete?" Now I'm sounding whiney.
"Miss you mommy. Miss dada," Anthony pouts.
I'm too tired to argue. "I'll ask your dad tonight buddy."
"Sleep ova wif you," Anthony smiles.
Part of me is bummed about Edward and I not having the bed to ourselves tonight, but another small part of me knows it won't always be like this. Anthony won't always want to be around me and I want to cherish these moments while I can with him.
"We will see buddy," I tease before ordering our drinks.
The house feels bigger with no one else in it. With a large latte in my system, my brain is more awake. I rarely have espresso, so its effects are only more potent. Edward will be home shortly and I clean, buff, and shave until I feel like a whole new woman. Having a nice long scented bubble bath is unheard of for me. In the past I have been lucky if I had time to shave my legs when I took my notorious five minute showers.
I even take time tonight to curl my hair and apply a liberal amount of makeup. I feel feminine, beautiful, and refreshed. I want to be a woman that Edward would be proud to have on his arm. I know that I am that woman in his eyes, but tonight in my new dress I finally have the confidence to feel I belong next to a man like Edward.
As soon as Edward walks through the front door and sees me I find myself blushing like a teenager. He always has the ability to make me feel like the most important person in the world. His eyes focus on me and it's as if everything else has disappeared.
"Good evening beautiful," he smiles as he sets down his briefcase and walks into my open arms.
He kisses me until I am weak at the knees and pulls away for us both to breathe. I chuckle into his neck, astounded by how easily he can make my heart race.
"Did you dress up for me gorgeous," Edward smiles into my hair. "You look incredible, but you truly always look amazing Bella."
"You're not too bad yourself," I tease as I mold my curves against his lightly muscled frame.
"Where would you like to go beautiful? We can go wherever you are in the mood for; it's your special night."
I yawn before shrugging my shoulders to indicate I don't have a preference.
"Baby you look so tired, has someone been keeping you awake," Edward teases, but I can tell he is concerned.
"I'm fine, I've just felt out of sorts today."
"I have an idea," Edward smiles as one of his strong hands begins to rub my lower back, "why don't we order in and I'll give you a nice long massage and a relaxing evening at home."
"I thought you wanted to go out," I can't help but yawn again.
"I can't go out if my baby is tired," Edward chuckles. "Why don't you run upstairs and slip out of this dress and put on a nice robe. I'll order some food and open up a bottle of wine."
I smile at his suggestion, feeling relieved we don't have to leave the house tonight. As an introvert, going out to a busy restaurant to sit in a table that is a few feet from someone else's is not really my idea of fun. It has to be an occasional thing, a very occasional thing. Besides, with a man like Edward, what woman would ever really want to go out?
I come back down stairs after changing into my fluffiest robe to find candles, a bottle of my favorite white wine, and pillows by the fire. It's beautiful and tears prick my eyes at the thought of how thoughtful Edward can be. He looks incredibly handsome, his jacket is gone and the top buttons of his shirt are opened, revealing his chest hair. He is sitting by the fire and pouring two glasses of wine. He smiles at my approach and pats the pillow beside him.
"You look adorable in that," Edward smiles as he takes in the sight of my fluffy hot pink oversized robe.
"Thanks," I smile, taking my glass of wine.
"Here's to us," Edward toasts, "and here's to our future together."
"To our future," I say quietly before taking a drink.
"I ordered a large selection from the sushi restaurant close by, I hope you don't mind."
"That's perfect Edward, thank you," I approve.
"And I thought I might give my beautiful girlfriend a massage while we wait."
Edward helps me slip out of my robe and positions me so I lay comfortably across his lap. His hands are a welcomed relief as he rubs the sore muscles of my lower back. My eyelids flutter at the sensation and I relax against his thighs. I feel myself nodding off as every muscle of my back begins to relax. His hands have been working for at least a half an hour now and my body feels like it is floating on a cloud. Before sleep manages to take me, Edward's hand drops between my legs and I perk up instantly.
One finger slips inside me and then another, while his thumb plays with my clit. I moan softly, feeling blissful as Edward touches me after his long massage. I feel so taken care of, so loved. I want to reciprocate but my body feels weak as I approach an orgasm. Edward plays with my hair and kisses my back as his fingers pump in and out. My stomach tenses and I soon find my release, coming until my body feels like jelly.
"I love you Bella and I love you more than you know."
"I think I do know," I chuckle as I turn to around to sit on his lap, looking into his eyes I continue, "I know because I love you just as much."
Edward smiles, but before he can say more the doorbell rings. My stomach groans in anticipation.
"Looks like the delivery man had great timing," Edward teases before tickling my stomach.
He wasn't kidding when he said he ordered quite the selection. There's spider rolls, dynamite rolls, Philadelphia and California rolls…I have no idea how he imagined we would eat all of this. I dig right in, and to my surprise I manage to eat more than usual. As dinner comes to an end I finish off my third glass of wine and find myself falling asleep at the table.
"Baby do you want to go to bed," Edward asks as he begins to clean up and put the leftovers in the fridge.
"No," I yawn, "I want you to make love to me before we pick up Anthony."
"Baby this isn't the only night we will have alone together…if you need to sleep you have to listen to your body."
I yawn again, "I want to show you how much I love you."
"I know you do my beautiful girl," Edward chuckles as he helps me up from the dining room table, "but you don't have to have sex with me to show me that. I know you love me silly girl."
I give him a tired smile and allow him to pick me up and carry me to his bed room. As soon as I hit the bed I feel even more tired. Edward tucks me in and places a tender kiss on my forehead.
"I'll go get our son baby, you can go to sleep."
I'm too tired to argue. Edward holds me gently in his arms until sleep finally takes me.
A/N: I was going to post this chapter a bit earlier…but Walking Dead was on haha. I hope you liked this small bit of cuteness and get ready to meet Edward's parents soon.
