BPOV

Since we had our 'reconnect', things have been going better than imagined. During the following week, Edward has invited me to stay over a couple nights. It was was a way to get more time with our child and I accepted. I couldn't turn that down.

Jake and I are no longer hooking up. It had been that way for a while. Although we are on good terms, I'm looking for a new job. It has to be done if I want to continue going in the good direction that Edward and I have been going in. As I fold up some laundry, I think about the first time I stayed overnight.

I'm kinda nervous after our last interaction. I'm really confused. Does he want me back? Will we get back together? And what about sleeping arrangements? Is it silly of me to accept an invite to stay the night? We still haven't talked about if we are going to divorce or not. The thought terrifies me. But I will come to terms and deal with it, if that's what he wants.

I did this to us.

The thought of Edward with another woman shatters my heart. I can't bare the the thought of another woman raising my baby. I can't think about any of it.

I'm packing my bag for tonight and I'm not sure what to pack. I have sexy pajamas and I have really cheesy, dorky ones. Nothing in between. But to be honest, I don't think my sexy pjs would fit, I've lost so much weight from not eating and stressing about my life. What a shame. I just settle with a pair of sleeping shorts and my giant oversized t-shirt.

I arrive a little early because Edward has not returned from doing whatever it is he's doing. I wonder about if he's changed the locks and I decide to try and find out. Not sure why it surprises me, but the key works. I go back to the car and grab my overnight bag and walk into the house.

It smells like a home. Toys are all over the floor and there's dirty laundry everywhere. Since I let myself in, I figure I can help out and clean up the toys and start some laundry. It isn't until I'm putting wet clothes into the dryer that I hear the doorknob giggle. The door swings open and reveals my beloved family.

Aimee squeals and wiggles free of Edward and clumsily runs towards me. She hugs my leg with all her might. I loosen her grip and pick her up and cover her face in kisses. I put her back down and she runs off looking for her toys.

'I hope it's okay that I let myself in. I loaded the washer and dryer with clothes and washed the dishes.' I say awkwardly.

'That's okay, thank you.' He walks over to me to what I assume will be a hug but he shocked me with a kiss. 'I'm sorry.' He jumps back.

'It's okay. Can I make something for dinner?' And from there on, things felt normal. We gave Aimee a bath and Edward let me tuck her in. She was definitely a happy baby.

I walk out into the living room to see Edward making a makeshift bed on the couch. He glances up when he notices that I'm in the room.

'I was just setting up out here so you can sleep in the bed.' He said.

'You don't have to do that. I can sleep on the couch and you could sleep in the bed.' I reply back to him. He sat down on the couch and patted the seat next to him, making the motion that he wants me to sit next to him. I go and join him on the couch.

We both sit on the couch watching tv when he suddenly puts his hand on my thigh. I turn to look at him and he's already looking at me. I can see the hunger in his eyes, the fire that burns in them. He moves his hand further up my thigh until it's under my dress. This is kind of exciting. I decide to spread my legs a little to see how he'd react.

To his surprise, I'm not wearing underwear. He should know my dislike for underwear is never going to change. He slides a finger inside of me and I gasp in delight. He continues to play with me until we can no longer contain ourselves. He unbuckles his pants and frees himself as he looks me dead in the eye. He licks his lips as if he's daring me to make the next move.

Without hesitation, I crawl into his lap, straddling him. He lets out a groan as I slowly lower myself onto him. We sync up in rhythm, getting lost into each other. I can feel that we are both getting close and that motivates me to really get into it. We are both breathing so hard and we are both moaning and groaning so loud when I finally reach my release. I cry out in pleasure and he's right behind me.

Before I can catch myself, his lips find mine. It is such a tender yet passion filled kiss. I hop off of his lap and grab him by the hand and lead him to the bedroom where we made love all night.

I blush as I finish folding up my laundry.
