EPOV:

Sam is an amazing artist. Just looking at his book of sketches, paintings, and photographs of different tattoos he has done in the past, has me itching to get more than the one tattoo I came for. If I didn't have a budget to keep me in place, I would be getting the tattoo I've been wanting for my son. I want his footprints tattooed on my leg, with the date of his birth underneath. He's changed my life, and I want the image of his little feet forever inked on my body.

I want something for Bella as well, something colorful with a beautiful design. The tat I'm getting today will symbolize my eternal love for her, but I want something else as well. I put the binder of Sam's work down, it's too tempting for a guy like me to look at. I love tattoos, but I know I have more important things to use my money on.

Sam finishes up with the leg piece he's currently working on, and I sign my release form and get ready to go back. I hope Bella doesn't notice my tattoo before I'm ready to show her. I'd been so excited to get it, I hadn't thought that far in advance. I have so many tattoos, I doubt she'll notice one more. This one is so different than my others though. I'll be getting 'Isabella' in cursive, wrapped around my ring finger. If Sam wasn't as talented as he is, I wouldn't have trust him with the cursive lettering, but something like this is nothing for him.

As soon as I'm seated on the leather chair, I feel fucking elated. I love the excitement that brims inside of me every time I await the feeling of the tattoo gun against my skin. Getting a tattoo has always been a rush, but it feels better today because this tattoo will be for my future wife. Sam and I make small-talk as he gets his station ready. I'm happy to see the pride he takes in keeping his station clean, with every tool in place. I'll have to come back to him for all my future tats.

I smile as I feel the needle of the tattoo gun prick my skin. This tattoo hurts like a fucking bitch, but I'd expected it considering how he is practically tattooing against my bone. Despite the pain, I find that it feels incredible at the same time. I've always found pleasure in the pain, which is how I managed to sit through so many long tattooing sessions. I'm transfixed as I watch her name become permanently inked on my skin. Now, she'll be with me forever.

"That's amazing, man," I compliment, as soon as Sam is finished.

"I think she'll love it," he assures me with a warm grin.

"I hope so, I haven't asked her yet."

Sam smiles at this and shakes his head with a laugh. "You're a confident man then. She'll say yes, I'm sure."

I shake his hand and go to the front counter to pay my bill, telling him about my tattoo ideas along the way. I give him a nice tip, and leave with his card in hand. I know I'll be coming back as soon as I have the finances to do so. I'm fucking thrilled with how my tattoo has turned out. The lettering is so feminine and beautiful, just like my Bella. I feel close to her every time I look at her name etched beautifully into my skin. She's always on my mind, but this is a nice reminder that she is mine.

I stop by Jasper's to pick up Charlie. I could have had Bella babysit, but I was worried she would ask to come along, and I needed this to be a surprise. Plus, I want Charlie to find a friend in Cyndy. It's nice to have him play with other kids, especially now that he is beginning to walk.

"Check it out man," I say, as I hold up my left hand for Jasper to see.

He smiles, and I know he is thrilled for his sister-in-law. Once upon a time, I worried that he'd dislike me and want Bella to dump me for a man that's more 'suitable', but that never happened and instead we've become close friends.

"She'll love it. Are you going to show her tonight?"

I blush, realizing how hard it could be to hide this from her. "I wanted to show her, when I propose. I think I'll have the courage to do it this weekend."

"Just distract her."

My eyes widen. Is Bella's brother-in-law suggesting what I think he's suggesting? I must look fucking shocked, because Jasper chuckles and moves aside, to let me into his home. Charlie is on the carpeted living room floor, playing with Cyndy and her favorite stuffed animals. He looks so happy, and I'm thrilled to see him playing with a friend. As soon as he sees me, he stops playing and crawls to the sofa, where he manages to pull himself up. He takes shaky steps in my direction, and I move forward, proudly meeting him halfway.

"Good job, buddy!"

Charlie giggles as I pick him up and wrap him in my arms. "Do you like my tattoo for mommy, Charlie?" I show him my finger, and he tries to stick it into his mouth. I point at the tattoo again, and he reaches out to touch it with his small pointer finger.

"Ma ma," he babbles as he looks at the tattoo. "Ma ma!"

"That's right, Charlie. Bella's your mommy."

I say hi to Cyndy, who is too wrapped up in her toys to give me anything more than a wave. I chuckle, I've never seen a girl with so many stuffed animals. Alice must spoil her like crazy.

"Alice is out shopping and God knows she'll come home with more stuff for Cyndy," Jasper says, confirming my suspicions.

I know Bella spoils Charlie, despite her hatred of shopping. I couldn't imagine what it would be like if she were like her sister. I chat with Jasper for a bit, before we finally head home. On the way home, I decided to wrap a band-aid around my finger, and claim it's just a cut from work. I get cuts all the time, so it's nothing out of the norm for me. I pull the pack of bandages from my glove compartment as soon as I pull into the parking lot of my apartment. I wrap one around my ring finger to hide my new tattoo, and add a band-aid to my thumb on the opposite hand for good measure.

Bella looks a lot better than she did last night. She seems at ease, and I presume this Liam fucker has left her alone. I know if he continues to harass my girl, I'm going to flip. She jumps off the couch as soon as I walk through the door, and presses her lips against mine. Kissing me thoroughly before pulling away to give Charlie a kiss on his forehead.

"What was that for?" I chuckle.

"What? I can't give my boyfriend a nice kiss when he comes home?" She challenges.

She's acting different. I wonder if she's worried about Liam and has decided to change her tactics on how she goes about handling it. Perhaps she's worried this guy will affect our relationship, more worried than she's previously let on. I'll spend the night showing her that I'm here to stay, if that's what it takes. I'd be more than happy to do so.

I gave Bella time to relax with Charlie, and made dinner. It wasn't up to par with Bella's cooking, but I was able to make a simple baked mac & cheese dish without too much trouble. Charlie loved the food, which made my heart swell with pride. I know it wasn't the healthiest thing to feed a baby, but I'm just happy to see him eating something besides the usual stuff. He can be so picky for an eleven month old! Of course, I don't have anything to compare him to. The mac & cheese caused Charlie to practically fall asleep in his high chair. I was more than happy to tuck him into his crib, because I wanted some alone time with my girl. I want to assure her that some guy isn't going to hurt our relationship.

As soon as I am finished putting Charlie to bed, I find Bella cleaning up in the kitchen. I take a moment to enjoy the curve of her perfect ass, before she notices me.

"Come to bed," I say, holding out my hand for her to take.

She puts the sponge down and wipes her hands off, and with a shy smile she walks across the room to take my hand in hers. She gets so bashful about sex until I get her naked, then she loves to fucking jump on me and beg for my cock. It's so arousing, seeing my girl lose control like that. I'm so thankful she feels so comfortable with me.

"I want you so much," she moans in my ear as I pull her into my bedroom.

I pull back so I can yank her shirt off of her. God, she is so fucking beautiful. I stare at how amazing her tits look in her push-up bra, before pulling it off of her so I can worship her naked tits. Any tension the day causes, instantly slips away as soon as my lips wrap around her nipple. Sucking on her tits is as arousing as it is calming. She runs her hands through my hair as I play with her tits. I suckle her until I'm throbbing in my jeans, and only when my erection becomes painful, do I pull away. I just want to fuck her into the mattress and claim her, but I also want to be gentle as well.

I slow down and give her lips sweet kisses as she unbuttons my pants and unzips my fly. She pulls my cock into her hand, and pumps it, showing me that she wants it rough. My girl loves being fucked just as much as she loves making love. Our kisses evolve into something more passionate and I'm so fucking horny I can barely think straight. I need to be inside of her.

We strip naked, and I throw her onto the bed, kissing my way up her legs until my mouth is on her wet, little pussy. I fuck her with my tongue, while she moans and writhes on the bed. She is so fucking hot like this, and I begin to stroke my cock as I watch her. I can easily masturbate at the sight of my girl. Perhaps we should do that sometime? I would love to watch her make herself come in front of me. God, just the fucking thought is hot enough to make me blow my load. I give her pussy one more kiss before climbing up her body so I'm on top of her with my cock throbbing at her entrance. I bring my lips down to hers, before thrusting inside. I know I won't be gentle with her. Not tonight. I slam my cock into her, fucking her into the mattress. I know she loves it, by the way she smiles and moans beneath me. Rising to my knees, I take her legs and wrap them around my waist, so her hips are in the air as I plunge my cock into her at an unforgiving pace.

"So good, Edward!" She moans, while closing her eyes to focus on the pleasure I'm giving her. "Harder, Edward! Fuck me harder!"

I smile and slam into her harder than I ever have before. It feels so good, fucking her like an animal. She tightens her legs around my hips and I know she's close. She bites down on her lip and her brows are knitted together in concentration, before her orgasm hits and she falls apart. I feel her entire body relax as her pussy pulses around my cock. I fuck her through her orgasm, before finding mine and coming with a roar.

Afterward, I hold her in my arms and listen to the sound of the rain outside. I love holding her after sex, almost as much as I love the sex itself. It's the one time I get to relax and feel how much I love my girl. Bella drifts off to sleep, sated after the thorough fucking I gave her, and I take the time to go check on my son and plan my proposal in my head. I want it to be romantic and perfect, everything Bella has dreamed of. I hope I can live up to what she has imagined growing up. I know every girl plans their wedding when they are younger, and I'm sure Bella was no different. I hope that my proposal will show her, without a doubt, that I am the man for her.

A/N: I know some of you hate Liam…so I hope this lemon cheered you up! Thanks for sticking with me .
