Emmett pulled the cast iron pan out of the fire and we started with our salads. I unwrapped the foil off the pot and lifted the lid and then checked the meat temperature and it was perfect. Emmett brought out 6 large bowls and I scooped the pot pie into them. It sounded like a six person orgy while we were eating. The only sounds in the room were moans and groans. Finally, Emmett said, "Excuse me; I'm the only one that my fiancée is suppose to be having sex with. Could you guys quit all the moaning and groaning over her skills please?"

I wasn't expecting him to say that; I was just happy everyone was enjoying their dinner. I swallowed wrong in my reaction to Emmett's comment and suddenly I couldn't breathe. I dropped my bowl on the coffee table and grabbed my throat gasping for oxygen.

Chapter 36

Everyone else's laughter stopped. Alice and Emmett were the closest and trying to get me away from the coffee table. I was struggling for air to breath and getting scared. Suddenly, someone was behind me and lifting me up against my breast bone. With one firm thrust up, the meat came loose and I really started coughing. I was then sitting back on the floor and resting against Emmett. I finished spitting out the meat that I choked on. Rose took my bowl away and handed me a water bottle and said, "Small sips."

Once Emmett felt my pulse finally slow back down, he said, "I'm so sorry, Angel."

"Emmett, it's okay. It was an accident and funny as shit. Edward, thanks for the assist."

"No problem, but I knew we didn't have time to get you standing. Hopefully, Emmett and my wife don't kill me for grabbing your boobs like that."

Emmett went to punch his arm and instead gave him a man hug saying, "Thanks man."

Jasper brought me another bowl of my pot pie and said, "Shall we all finish now if Emmett can keep his sex thoughts to himself?"

I lifted a bite and said, "Everyone repeat after me nom, nom, nom."

They all did and we finished dinner without any more moans and groans. I saved the leftovers and the girls cleaned up the kitchen as the guys set up the living room. We played video games tonight. I finally settled down on the air mattress to go to sleep. Emmett had turned on the heat. He set it at 60 to start warming up the place. He was trying not to get me to hot, since I was sleeping in PJs in the living room with everyone. At some point in my sleep, I felt myself being pulled into Emmett and our bare skin touching chest and stomach to my side.

The next morning I awoke to being nuzzled in my neck by Emmett. "Bella, wake up, please. Are you okay?"

"What?" I jumped.

"Bella, you haven't woken up all night and it's about an hour later than normal for your second bathroom call."

"No, I'm fine; but give me my robe and let me get to the bathroom now."

"Yes ma'am."

He helped me up and I groaned from the stiffness in my body. Emmett stayed with me as I went to the bathroom. When I came out, he pulled me into a hug asking, "Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yes I'm fine; I'm grateful for the one solid night of sleep."

He smiled at me and said, "I slept like crap for the last five hours because I was so worried about you."

"Em, just wake me up next time."

"No way, letting a pregnant woman sleep is as important as letting a baby sleep."

"You're learning," I smiled. "You can take a nap with me today."

"Okay."

We returned to the living room and Jasper was on the phone. "Okay," we heard him say.

He hung up and I said, "What?"

"We need to get dressed in warm layers and work on getting chains on the rental. Jake is on the way over to help us get to the main roads. They're being cleared now and then we should be able to get to the B & B and the airport by noon for our flight out."

"Okay, let's go," I said.

Emmett said, "Angel, I'll turn the heat up more and then you can start on breakfast while we get to work outside."

"Thanks Emmett."

I kissed him and went into the kitchen. I threw cinnamon rolls in the oven while I mixed up an Italian egg frittata. I kept the rolls warm on top of the oven while the frittata baked. An hour later, I heard everyone come in and I poured out hot chocolate and coffee for everyone. I snuggled into Emmett even though he was cold and drank my hot chocolate. We sat down and enjoyed an amazing breakfast together. The other two couples went to get cleaned up as best they could. Emmett and I cleaned up the kitchen and he trapped me against the sink. I reached behind me and wrapped my arms around his neck whispering, "I love you; and though I'll miss my new friends, I need to make love to you before our nap."

He kissed behind my ear and said, "I agree."

I sucked in my breath and said, "Maybe we can start with a bath."

"Definitely."

Then we finished cleaning up the kitchen. About 90 minutes later, Jake pulled in with the truck and plow. Everyone argued with me, but I put on my ugg boots along with many wraps and headed outside to tell everyone good bye. I was crying and couldn't stop. It was hormones and everyone promised to stay in contact via email, Skype, texting and phone calls. They all wanted to know when the baby came.

I hugged them and said, "Goodbye." I went inside and sat down crying.

"Angel, please stop," and I was in Emmett's arms.

"Emmett, I can't. It's the hormones; I'll miss them."

"I know, but you're not allowed to fly right now. There's no way in hell I'm driving you back to LA. Plus, those guys travel all the time right now. From here, you can talk to them whenever you want."

"I know but…"

"I know what we can do?"

"What's that?"

He carried me to bed and laid me down. "I need you naked against me, my Angel." Soon we were both naked, slowly exploring our bodies and then making love. Emmett slid in behind me holding my breasts in one hand, my clit with the other and I screamed his name. He was amazing and wore me out with that sweet loving torture and we fell asleep. I woke to Emmett bringing me lunch in bed.

I threw on a sweatshirt and stayed in bed to eat with him. Then we moved to movies until my phone rang and it was Alice.

"Bella, I'm going to miss you, but we're all at the airport. The runway is clear and we should be boarding in half an hour." I talked to Rose and they both told me to take care of myself.

Emmett and I settled back into a simple life. We ventured out twice a week for the doctor's and the grocery store. While we were out, we ate out otherwise we stayed in and I remembered how much I enjoyed the solitude. Irina told us to take it easy making love right now and we did. But I couldn't ignore Emmett either, he was so damn lovable and his dimples were hard to resist. Loving just became gentler and slower.

By the first of February, I was done with being pregnant and I was due by the twentieth. I was slow and cautious at everything. Emmett made sure of that as well. Okay, one thing, I wasn't slow about, I could eat. I hoped one day I got back to my original size. Emmett assured me he would help but he really didn't care if I did or not.

When we went to the doctor's on the seventh, I was three centimeters dilated and we talked with Irina about what to watch for as labor signs. She assured us we were not going to make it to the 20th. We went and had crab bisque and other goodies for lunch and walked around the small shops just to stretch my legs. At home, I put more food in the freezer for Emmett and I. I came out of the bathroom on the ninth and heard Emmett on the phone. I could hear some nervousness in his voice then I heard him say, "Bella should be out and I'll let you know. Bye."

"Who was that Emmett?"

"Leah."

"What's wrong?"

"I'm worried about you."

"I did this to you and you're going to be in a lot of pain. You're always cooking right now; are you nesting?"

"From what I have read, I would say yes. Yes, Em, I'll hurt delivering Emma; but I want her and you so much it's worth it."

"Leah asked are you feeling any contractions at all?"

"Nope, I just feel like there's a watermelon that wants out and she wants room to stretch. Come see this." I laid on my side and Emmett and I watched Emma stretching and moving for the next thirty minutes and then Emma and I took a nap. I woke to Emmett bringing me some of my chowder soup. It was delicious and then we watched a movie and Emmett hummed me to sleep. I awoke the next morning and went running to the bathroom. I thought I saw a speck of blood, but who knew it was dark and the lights were bright. I saw nothing when I wiped again. I waddled back to bed and Emmett just smiled his incredible dimple grin at me.

"I love you and you're glowing, Angel."

I giggled and said, "A pregnant angel what would god say about that."

"I don't care because you're mine. Now get back under the covers with me."

I did and slept for a couple more hours. Emma got a kick in and woke me up. Emmett felt it to and said, "Emma behave yourself. You can kick all you want when you come out of mommy's belly." I giggled and Emmett and I went and made eggs, bacon and hash browns for breakfast. As we finished cleaning up, I asked, "Emmett, I need a hand with an area I can't reach anymore, are you up for it?"

"Of course, what do you need me to do?"

"Come back to bed and I'll show you." I open my robe and drop my panties and PJ bottoms and said, "Will you clean up my pussy area please? I can't see it."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Shave up the bikini line and trim the rest very short please."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, I trust you. Then, maybe, I can think of a way to thank you because I'm sure this is going to be hard on you and I rubbed him throw his robe. "I can already tell how hard this is going to be."

"Angel, shit. Just lay down and I'll be right back. He was gentle and careful and so loving all at the same time. By the time he was done, I needed him inside me so bad.

"Emmett roll onto your side of the bed."

I stripped his lounge pants and sweatshirt and then I mounted him and he held my hips in place and growled, "Lose that top. I need to see your huge boobs."

I did and very slowly we came together. I think I rode him for fifteen minutes before we both came.

I whispered into his ear, "Do you feel better now?"

"Fuck yes?" and he kissed me. Then he asked, "Will you let me do that again someday?"

"Maybe," and he tickled me.

I started wiggling and pleading for him to stop. Then I felt a gush between my legs. Emmett looked at me in terror and I just giggled into a fit of laughter. "Stop it, Bella. This is serious."

"No it's not Emmett. We have plenty of time and I so want to see everyone's faces when we tell them how I went into labor."

"Angel, all I'm going to tell anyone is that I was tickling you and nothing else."

"You try that and we'll see how far you get."

I reached over and called Irina. She answered and said, "Are you in labor?"

"My water broke, but I'm not feeling any pain or contractions."

"Okay, make your way to the hospital carefully."

"Can I take a shower first?"

"Yes, just carefully and get your hair dry."

"Yes, ma'am. Emmett is good at getting my hair dry."

Emmett stuttered, "Bella."

"Yes, Irina. Here Emmett, Irina wants to talk to you."

"Yes, ma'am," was all I heard several times over and then he hung up.

I looked at him and said, "What was that about?"

She said, "Follow your lead. If you want a shower and dry hair, that is what I am to do."

"Good boy."

"I'm going to the shower. You can throw the sheets and blanket into the washer and join me if you like. My bag is already at the door thanks to someone. If I'm still not in pain from contractions when we are ready to leave, we'll have a sandwich and fruit because I'm sure that's the last good meal I'll have for a couple days."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Good boy, see you in a few."

I was starting to feel pressure down between my legs while Emmett dried my hair but six or seven minutes apart. We had our sandwiches and fruit. We headed to the hospital and I texted everyone I was on my way to hospital. I was timing the pressure in my head and now they were down to five minutes and starting to hurt a little more. I hung up with my mom and took Emmett's hand. "Are you okay?" he asked.

"I'm finally starting to feel it and they're about five minutes apart now."
