Chapter Eight 'Seventh Times the Charm'

Bella and the rest of the Cullen family headed back home to Forks. It was time for a little R&R before heading back to school. Bella was lying on the bed when Edward walked through. He smiled watching her as she read one of her latest novels. "Good," he said causing her to look up.

"Yeah," Bella said sitting up on the bed and setting her book down. "Come here," she said motioning him with her finger.

Edward licked his lips before heading over at vampire speed to his wife. "We have to get to school my love," he said lying with her.

"Do we?" Bella asked rolling so that she was slightly on top of him. "Do we really?" She asked placing kisses on his neck and running her hands down his body.

"I guess we can be a little late," Edward said pulling her into a passionate kiss. Bella began unbuttoning his shirt and he helped her shrug it off.

They both stood up on their knees and slowly began undressing each other. They laid back down still in their underwear and Edward crawled on top of her. "Edward," Bella giggled.

"You are still so breathe taking," Edward said kissing her lips softly then moving down. He lifted her body up to he could take off her bra and she helped him toss it to the side.

Bella bit her lips slightly as he began to work his magic on her breast. "Oh god," Bella moaned out as he took his right breast into his mouth flicking her nipple with his tongue.

"You taste so sweet," Edward mumbled against her flesh and moved further down. He slowly lowered her soaked panties and kissed her legs on the way down.

"Edward stop teasing me," Bella moaned out gripping the sheets.

"Don't tare the sheets my love," Edward said kissing his way back up. "We just got new ones yesterday," he said before kissing her folds.

"Mmmm," Bella moaned out as he began to taste her. "Oh god," she said as he inserted his tongue into her opening.

Edward began to licking, sucking and biting on her clit. He plunged to fingers inside of her and began to pick up the pace. "Oh god," she moaned out. "Oh baby," she said grabbing his hair.

"Cum for me," Edward said against her bundle and she did as he command. He lapped her up and kissed his way back to her lips.

"Make love to me," Bella said into his ear causing him to growl. He slowly entered her and made love for most of the day. They ended up staying home while the others were at school.

Bella and Edward were still in bed once the others got home. Emmett burst through the door of their bedroom and the others followed. "Told you," he said with a smirk.

"You guys are like rabbits," Rosalie said with a smirk on her face. Bella knew if she could blush she would be right now and Edward helped her covered up.

"How was school?" Edward asked causing them to shrug.

"Mom and dad aren't going to be happy that you weren't there," Alice said sitting on the end of the bed and picking up Bella's bra with her finger.

Bella covered her chest up with the sheet and snatched her bra back. "I will talk with dad and everything will be fine," she said softly.

"Alice darling," Jasper said feeling the emotions coming off Edward and Bella. "I need some help in the bedroom," he said causing her to jump up.

"Emmy bear," Rosalie said purring in his ear and Emmett lifted her of the ground. They ran out of the room causing Bella and Edward to laugh.

"We got a few more hours before mom and dad come back," Edward kissing her neck and she moaned out. They fell back onto the bed making love once again.

Edward came out of the bathroom seeing that his wife just got off the phone. "We better head down stairs before they get home," he said causing Bella to turn.

"Edward," Bella said with a choked voice and he rushed to her.

"What is wrong you look upset?" Edward asked stroking her face.

"They found the reason we couldn't hold on to our child," Bella said with a smile. "It's because of the nutrition," she said with her smile getting bigger.

"So?" Edward asked taking her hands.

"They found a way to make it work," Bella said wrapping her arms around him.

"EDWARD!! BELLA!!" Esme yelled from down stairs and they pulled away.

"We better get down there," Bella said just before her husband kissed her. They went downstairs to talk to their parents while the others were out hunting.

"I am going to be a grandmother," Esme replied with a smile on her face.

"Yes," Bella said with a nod and tears in her eyes.

"Congratulations," Carlisle said shaking Edward's hand. "Can this experiment work for anyone?" He asked taking a hold of Esme's hand.

All of us knew they wanted to have children of their own some day. "We don't even know if it'll still work for us," Bella said with a sadden look. "But I am not giving up," she replied.

"We'll tell the others something," Carlisle said with a smile on her face. Edward placed his arm around his wife and kissed her forehead.

"You get us packed and I will get the tickets," Edward said causing her to nod her head. Bella went up the room and Edward went to the call the airport.

Bella was sitting on the table after being inseminated with the egg and the sperm. She was strap to a blood transfusion machine and laid their waiting. She would have to been in this bed for the next month and Edward would never leave her side. They realized they were going to have to tell their family at this point. "Are you ready for this?" Edward asked causing her to sigh.

"I don't," Bella said shaking her head. "Rosalie has always wanted a child," she said looking down at the floor. "I don't want to get her hopes up," she said causing Edward to kiss her.

"Bring them in," Edward said looking over at Felix and they walked into the room. Rosalie looked over at her and Emmett looked over at him.

"What is going on?" Jasper asked feeling the tension in the room.

"There is a possibility that I can have a baby," Bella said softly. "That any vampire can and we've been trying for the last six months," she said softly.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Rosalie asked coming over to her sister.

"Because we didn't want to hurt any of you if it didn't happen," Bella said in a low voice. "But we think we made a break through," she said. "Now all we can do is wait," she said softly.

"I might be an uncle," Emmett said with a smile on his face. "This is so awesome!" He yelled out causing all of us to laugh.

"Could it work for us?" Rosalie asked causing Emmett to take her hand.

"I don't see why not," Felix said softly. "But until we see about Bella I would like to refrain from trying," he said causing her to nod.

A few weeks had past with Bella being put on bed rest. She had a permanent IV of human blood but her family would always make sure she had a daily supply of animal blood. Edward was with the family in the other room when they heard a scream. "Bella," Edward said getting up.

Bella was looking down at her swollen stomach making her at least three months along. Felix had rushed in with some lab techs and Aro at his side. "What the hell?" She asked.

"This is very interesting," Felix said going to touch her stomach and she growled at him. Edward went to her and touched her face.

"Let him check you," Edward said causing her to nod and hold onto his hand.

"I am guessing the birthing process is different for a vampire," Felix said softly. "I say you look about three and a half months along," he said. "Would you concur Carlisle?" He asked.

"Yes," Carlisle said coming over to Bella. "This is quiet a miracle," he said softly. Edward kissed the top of her head.

"I guess seventh times the charm," Bella said causing all of us to laugh. Soon they would have a new addition to the family.
