I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT!
Chapter 51
(Bella)
I sighed as Edward pulled up in front of his parent's house. "I'm so glad to be home."
"Me too," He said getting out and going around to get Matt out of the back seat of the car. He had fallen asleep on Jasper's bed and been asleep ever since.
Sue opened the front door for us and smiled sadly at Matt. "How is he?" She asked giving me a hug.
"He's okay, he knows about the baby," I said softly.
"How did he take it?" Sue asked.
"He was sad," I replied. "Although he was glad that Alice and Jasper are okay."
"I think I'm going to lay him down in his bed," Edward said.
"Why don't you lay him down in the room Charlie and I are using, that way if he wakes up we'll hear him."
He nodded and headed towards the guest room.
"Are you hungry? We have supper just about done," Sue said.
"Thank you, I haven't eaten anything today," I said.
"Bella, you and Edward need to eat."
"I know, I just haven't wanted to leave Matt."
Dad was sitting with Jaycie feeding her. "Mamamam," She squealed.
Tears began falling down my cheeks. "She called me mama."
"She did Bells," Dad said smiling at me. "I think Sam and Emily have been working with her."
"Hey baby girl," I said walking over and kissing the top of her head. Then I hugged my dad. "Is she eating for you?"
"She is, she's had some baby food, a steak and I'm thinking about giving her a beer," He said.
I raised my eye brows at him. "I don't think so," I laughed.
"Where is Edward and Matt?" He asked.
"Edward is laying him down, he's been asleep for a while now," I said.
"He probably will sleep a lot Bella. When does he go back to school?"
"The doctor said he's to stay home from school for a week, but then we are to take him to the doctor for a check up on Friday."
Dad nodded. "I'm taking a few weeks off, Sue and I can help where we are needed. Now how is Alice?"
"No change," I said sadly.
"She'll be okay," He said softly.
Sue fixed me a bowl of soup and set it down on the table. "Thank you," I said.
"I thought soup would be the best thing, it will fill you up and then you and Edward can go on to bed," Sue said.
"I feel like I could sleep for a week," I said yawning.
"Who is taking time off from work?" Sue asked.
"We haven't talked about it yet, maybe both of us," I said. "I don't think Edward wants to be away from him and I know I don't want to go into that school and have him not there."
"That's understandable," Dad said.
Edward came in. "Dadadadadaddad," Jaycie squealed.
He walked over and picked her up out of the high chair. "I've missed you angel," He said hugging her tightly.
Edward sat down with her at the table and Sue brought him his soup. "I could have gotten that," He said.
"I know that, but Jaycie is clinging to you right now," Sue said.
"Thank you," He said.
I looked at my fiancé, he looked exhausted. He had dark rings under his eyes and his hair was a mess. "Babe, you need to eat and go to bed."
"I will, I'm going to get Matt up in a while so he can eat and then give him a bath."
"What can we do to help?" Sue asked.
"I don't know," He sighed. "I'm not good at asking for help."
"Okay then, Jaycie's pack-n-play is still down stairs. Why don't you get her to bed tonight and we can get up with her. That way you can devote your attention to each other and Matt if he needs you," Dad said.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Really Bella," Dad said rolling his eyes. "You two need to sleep."
Edward got up, handed Jaycie to my dad and walked outside. "I'll be back," I sighed.
I found him sitting on the steps of the back porch with this head in his hands. "Hey," I said sitting down on the step next to him.
"Hi," He whispered.
I reached over and rubbed his back. "Do you want to talk about it?"
He shook his head. "I'll be in, just give me a few minutes," He said.
"Are you okay?" I asked him.
"For the first time since we started dating, I don't know if I'm okay of not," He said.
"I'm here if you need me," I said.
A tear slid down his cheek. "Thank you."
"Um, do you want me to wake Matt up?" I asked.
"Sure," He said softly.
I went back inside. "Is he okay?" Sue asked.
"He said he didn't know," I replied.
"You two need to spend some time talking after you've had some sleep," Sue said motioning for me to join her.
I followed her into the livingroom. "Let us take care of Matt and Jaycie tomorrow, you two spend the day sleeping or reconnecting."
"Sue," I gasped blushing.
"I'm serious Bella, you two need each other more than ever," She said.
"We'll see, I don't know if I have the energy for that," I admitted.
"You will," She said.
I hugged her. "I need to get Matt up," I said.
Matt was curled up under the blankets snoring softly. "Hey Matt," I said softly. He moaned but snuggled down deeper. "Hey buddy, you need to eat."
His eyes fluttered open. "Where am I?" He asked groggily.
"You are home, you fell asleep with Jasper and we brought you home," I said.
"I need to go potty," He said yawning.
I watched him stumble a bit and remembered that they said he might be unsteady on his feet for a few days. I took his hand and lead him into the bathroom and staying with him to make sure he didn't fall. "My head hurts," He whispered flushing the toilet.
"Okay, we'll get you some pain reliever and food, that should help," I said.
He nodded and raised his arms up for me to pick him up. "I just want to sleep."
"I know Matt and you can after you eat something," I said carrying him into the kitchen.
"Did you have a nice nap?" Dad asked him.
He nodded reaching for Charlie. "Where's Edward?" I asked.
"He took Jaycie to change her diaper," Sue said.
Matt curled up in dad's arms. "Here you go," I said handing him a cup with medicine in it. He took it quickly and curled back up resting his head in dad's chest.
"Would you like some soup?" Sue asked him
"No," He muttered.
"Buddy, you need to eat something, it will make you feel better," I said.
"I said no," He snapped. "I'm not hungry."
"Come on buddy, just a couple bites," I pleaded. He hadn't eaten much since lunch and I knew he was hungry.
"No!" He yelled.
I was shocked, he'd never yelled at me before. "Matt," I said reaching to rub his back.
"Leave me alone," He cried.
"What's going on?" Edward asked coming into the kitchen.
"I can't get him to eat," I said softly.
"Matt, what's going on?" Edward asked squatting next to him.
"I just want to sleep," He sobbed.
Edward glanced at me, he looked helpless. "What do we do?" He whispered.
"Matt, is there anything you would like to eat?" Sue asked.
"I want a cookie," He said.
Sue reached for a cookie and sat down across from him. "Alright, I'll let you have the cookie, but you have to eat two bites of soup."
He shook his head at first, but he ate half his soup and then ate his cookie. "Was it good?" I asked.
"Yes," He yawned. "I want to go to bed."
"Okay Matt, go take a bath and then you can," Edward said.
"Sleep good," Dad said hugging him.
"Are you leaving?" Matt asked.
"We're going to hang out here for a few days," Dad told him.
Matt smiled and hugged Sue. "Night nana, night papa."
"You two get him to bed and we'll take care of Jaycie," Dad said.
"Thank you," Edward and I said in unison.
(Edward)
Bella helped Matt undress as I started his bathwater. He had some bruises on his stomach and sides, but said they didn't hurt that bad. "Daddy, do I have to wash my hair?" He asked me.
"No Matt, not tonight."
He really needed to, but didn't want to run the risk of a meltdown. "Do you want bubbles?" I asked.
"Sure," He said.
Bella and I sat there in the bathroom as he played with a few bath toys. You could tell he wasn't himself and really was ready for bed.
"Would you like to get out?" I asked.
"Yes," He said softly.
I helped him stand and Bella wrapped a big fluffy towel around him. She picked him up and held him close to her. "I love you Matt."
"I love you too, mama," He said.
Once he was dressed, we tucked him into bed and Bella read him a story. I closed my eyes listening to her read. I knew what Matt loved about her, she was not only incredibly sexy, she had a soft voice and truly cared about people. She was an amazing teacher.
We kissed Matt, who was already asleep. "I need to clean out the tub," I said softly.
"Okay, I'm going to go take a quick shower and I'll meet you in bed," She said kissing me softly.
I hurried cleaning up the bath toys and Matt's dirty clothes. The stress of the past 24hours had caught up to me and I wanted nothing more to climb into bed next to Bella and hold her close to me.
The shower was still running when I went into my bedroom. I stripped my clothes off and slipped into the bathroom quietly. I groaned, my cock twitched as I watched Bella washing her body.
I couldn't stop myself, I stepped into the shower with her and wrapped my arms around her pressing my erection against her ass. "Edward," She gasped turning in my arms. I ran my hands over her breasts causing her to moan as I gently ran my nails over her nipples.
"So fucking gorgeous," I moaned dipping my head so I could gently suck on the soft skin under her ear.
"Show me," She breathed.
I moved my hand between her legs rubbing her slowly. "No Edward, I need you inside me," She whimpered.
I shifted us to where her back was against the wall and lifted her leg up over my hip. "Is this okay?" I asked.
"Wonderful," She said leaning in to kiss me. "I love you Edward."
"I love you too, my beautiful Bella," I said sliding into her.
Our releases so strong, we slid down the wall holding each other. The water started to run cold so I shut it off. I lifted her out of the tub and carried her to bed.
"Bella," I whispered.
"What," She murmured.
"Don't ever leave me."
She pulled me into her arms and we clung to each other. "I'm here Edward, I'm not going anywhere."
