Chapter 20
Edward's POV;
He'd said it. My baby boy had said 'dada'. I'm not ashamed to admit that I shed a tear or 50 when I lifted him out of his cot this morning and my greeting of 'good morning Ace' was replied to with 'dada' and a wide gummy smile.
I was still stood by his crib, the both of us still grinning at each other when Bella stumbled in and started to shake Evie awake gently a few minutes later. In fact, my smile didn't leave my face as I changed Ollie's shitty nappy, or as I showered and got dressed for work, or even as I kissed my family goodbye, literally the worst part of my morning.
And then, just before I was about to leave for work and my smile had started to diminish a little bit he reached his pudgy arms to me again, shouting 'dada' at the top of his lungs and giggling when I dropped my briefcase and lunged for him, hugging him to me tightly.
I shared a slightly watery smile with Bella, who had been trying to wrestle Evie into a pair of socks that she hadn't chosen – and thus refused to wear because 'they aren't Mulan Mummy. Mulan saved China' – while hastily eating a piece of toast and packing the baby bag. My woman was a superhero.
Fuck it, I'd be a little late to work today.
I buckled Oliver into his shoes and strapped him into his pram, handing him his teddy bear. He sucked on the threadbare ear contently while I took over the packing of the baby bag from Bella, restocking nappies, wipes and extra clothes before adding a few Tupperware containers of fruit, rusks and crackers.
Evie had finished kindergarten for the summer and Bella had started taking the kids to a play group for both toddlers and babies. The group gave Bella the opportunity to make friends with other parents and allowed Oliver and Evie to interact with children their own age. Today was my last day working full time, as of next week I'd be going to work only a couple of days a week and working mostly from my home office so that I could spend more time with my family. It was one of my conditions for the summer when I went back to work after Evie was born and I was grateful that my bosses were so accommodating.
I couldn't stall any longer and after pressing a final kiss to Evie's cheek, Oliver's forehead and Bella's lips I climbed into my car and drove to work. I was only a couple of minutes late and rushed to my office, with the mind-set that the quicker I started, the quicker I'd finish.
I settled behind my desk and pulled up my first report with a sigh. I'd literally give anything to be with my family right now.

I dropped my briefcase carelessly by the front door, frowning in confusion when I didn't hear the usual noise that accompanied dinner in the Cullen Cottage. I walked through to the kitchen, tilting my head when it was empty of my girlfriend and children. I reached into my pocket for my phone to call Bella and ask where she was when I felt slender arms wrap around my waist from behind. I smiled and rested my hand on top of the joined ones on my chest, leaning into the hug before turning and wrapping my arms around Bella, inhaling her vanilla scent.
"Where are the kids?" I murmured into her hair, leaning back so that I could see her face and give her a kiss.
"They're having a sleepover at your parent's house. Evie wanted a chance to show off her and Ollie's matching pyjamas." I chuckled at the thought, remembering the squeal of excitement that came from Evie when she found the matching brother/sister onesies last time we shopped. She had demanded them, stating that they were absolutely required so that everyone would know that she was a big sister.
"So we have the house to ourselves?" I tried to keep the hope out of my voice. I honestly would wait forever for Bella but since our last almost romp all I could think about was her body and the sound of her moans. God did I want to hear her moan again.
"Yeah, I was thinking that we could order Chinese and curl up together somewhere comfy?" I smiled down at her and pressed a kiss to her forehead before pulling away to order her favourite and my regular order from the local Chinese while she pulled a few blankets to the sofa and looked through our collection of films. I joined her a couple of minutes later, throwing my blazer over the back of the couch, undoing my tie and my top buttons before rolling up the sleeves of my shirt and stretching my arm across the back of the sofa.
It was Bella's turn to choose a film from our frankly pathetic 'adult' collection, as Disney films made up most of our film collection. I love our kids but it was a welcome change when we could watch films with swearing and violence rather than princesses and princes randomly bursting into song and constantly having perfect hair.
I smiled contently, watching the action packed film while snuggling under a fluffy blanket with the woman that I loved nestled into my side. I tried to ignore the possessive feelings that always pushed their way to the surface when I saw her in my clothes. She was practically swimming in the grey t-shirt that I gave her to sleep in all those months ago on her first night here. Her hair was slightly damp and shoved in a messy bun high on her head; a few tendrils had escaped and were brushing at her smooth neck. I pulled her closer and inhaled again, enjoying the scent of her vanilla shampoo and clamping down hard on my arousal when I realised that she also smelled like me; she'd used my body wash.
I groaned silently and willed away the beginnings of my erection, grumbling slightly when the doorbell rung and plastering on a fake smile for the delivery guy, making sure to include a tip for him and wish him a good evening.
We ate out of the boxes with chopsticks while nestled on the couch next to each other, me watching her while she watched the film. I watched the slight changes in her facial expression, the way she flinched a little when there was an explosion and the way her lips upturned when she found something amusing.
I loved her so fucking much.
"Edward are you going to watch the film at all?" I grinned at her, unseen as she hadn't turned away from the film while she teased me.
"I have something more interesting to watch." She turned her head toward me then, smiling softly as she reached out and put the rest of her food on the coffee table.
"Is that so?" She tilted her head playfully and straddled my lap, her arms resting loosely on my shoulders as she pressed teasing chaste kisses to my lips. I just nodded before dragging her into a deeper kiss, my tongue sweeping her bottom lip until she opened her mouth and let it in and then we were battling for dominance. My hands reached up and took the bobble out of her hair, groaning as the scent of vanilla became more pronounced and carding my fingers through the damp curls, using them to anchor her to me.
She moaned long and loud into my mouth, her arms tightening around my neck and drawing me closer. Our lips broke apart and I immediately dove for her creamy neck, getting harder in my pants when I smelled vanilla and my own body wash on her. I growled lowly as my possessiveness reared up again, and couldn't stop myself from marking her neck up so that anyone that came across her would know she is off limits. My teeth scraped along her neck lightly, sucking gently at her pulse point with her moans ringing in my ears and her hips moving against mine.
Her fingers tightened in the short hairs at the back of my head and tugged gently, urging me to pull my head away from her neck and covering my lips with her own immediately. She pulled insistently at my shirt, tugging on the buttons until they came undone or came away from the material completely. I let go of her hips to rip my tie off from around my neck, entertaining the idea of tying her wrists together with the material for a second before dropping it and helping her bare my torso completely.
The soft grey t-shirt was yanked over her head, and the sight almost made me swallow my tongue. Her hair was wild and curly around her beautifully flushed face. Her eyes were hooded and full of lust and desire for me. Her breasts were bare, here rosy nipples hard and almost straining towards me. I reared forward and sucked a nipple into my mouth hard, grazing at it with my teeth and revelling in the sharp gasp and moan that she let out, locking my arms around her when she arched into my mouth.
Her hands grasped at my shoulders, her nails digging in as she ground her hips hard down on mine and searched for relief. I released her nipple and surged up, keeping her in my arms. I wasn't going to do this with the woman I loved for the first time on the sofa like a couple of teenagers. She was going to spread across our bed as I make her come apart again and again.
And again.
Her legs locked around my waist and her lips began sucking a mark into my neck as a climbed the stairs as quickly as I could manage. I dropped her down onto our bed and removed my belt, feeling equally aroused and embarrassed as she watched me, biting her lip as I tugged my trousers and boxers down and left myself bare. Her eyes devoured my length, standing hard and proud, cut, curved and resting on my stomach before slowly, almost shyly opening her legs for me and beckoning her to me. My cock jumped visibly, and she watched the movement as I crawled up the bed to nestle between her legs.
I could feel her heat through the thin shorts she was wearing and grasped them, looking to her for confirmation before sliding them down and off. I stroked at the light, fine hairs across her pubic bone before letting my fingers dip lower and press against her clit. She groaned and arched up into my touch, her legs falling open a little more. I dropped a kiss on her bare shoulder before trailing kisses and sucking marks into her skin until I reached my goal.
My finger slid into her slowly as my lips closed around her clit, suckling firmly as I fingered her slowly. Her hands reached down and grasped at my hair as she planted her feet and pushed her pussy into my mouth, moaning loudly as I slid another finger into her.
"Edward, please. I need more, please. Please. Please." She continued her litany of begging and praise as I fingered her deeply but slowly, bringing her to the edge and pushing her over. Her legs clenched and shook with the intensity of her orgasm as she screamed herself hoarse. I unlatched from her clit and slowly withdrew my fingers, holding her gaze as I lapped at the wetness left on them. I tried to ignore the throbbing of my cock as I gazed up her body, my eyes drawn to her heaving chest and the marks I'd left on her breasts. I fisted my cock, earning a whimper from Bella, as she brought herself up on shaky arms to watch with hooded eyes.
"Bella, you look so fucking sexy right now baby. I could come just looking at that body." She smirked at me and reached into the bedside table on her side, pulling out a strip of condoms. My mouth went dry as she pulled one off and offered it to me before lying back down and spreading her legs invitingly. I ripped the condom wrapper open, almost tearing the condom itself in my haste, and used it to cover my cock. I crawled up her body and braced myself with a hand on either side of her head.
"I love you so much." I whispered against her lips, smiling as she returned the sentiment. I lined myself up at her entrance and pushed in slowly, groaning at the tight fit and forcing myself to take it slow and not hurt her. She hooked her legs around my hips and wound our arms together, pulling me so that more of my weight rested against her. Our foreheads rested together, and our breath intermingled as I thrusted shallowly, letting her get used to my girth and length.
My thrusts gradually got deeper and harder of their own accord, my body reacting to the pleasure of being inside her and my will power fading. Soon I was pounding her into the mattress, our shouts and moans of pleasure echoing around our dimly lit room, hands grasping and groping and hanging on as we chased our release.
She came first, her wet channel pulsing around my cock suddenly as her mouth fell open slackly and let out pants and mewls of pleasure. I buried my face in her neck, reeling at the vice-like grip she had my cock in as I continued to thrust furiously, on the brink of orgasm. She released her tight hold on my shoulders and ran her fingers through the short, soft hairs at the back of my head, murmuring love and encouragement in my ears.
I could feel her heat surrounding me through the condom, her breasts pushed against my chest, her nipples rubbing against my fine chest hair with every thrust. I could feel her legs wrapped around my waist and her breath against the shell of my ear as she told me how good I made her feel. And when her lips pressed a kiss in the sweet spot behind my ear it was like the snapping of a piece of string that was pulled too tight. My orgasm flooded through me, feeling like it came from the top of my head and the tips of my toes. I struggled to keep my weight supported on my forearms as I emptied inside of Bella, shaking a little through the aftershocks as she milked me for every last drop.
She pressed kisses along my cheek and neck, the fingers of one hand still running through my hair while the other stroked along my spine soothingly. My neck bowed, my face pressing into the pillow next to her head as I struggled to regain my senses.
"I love you Edward. Honestly, I adore you. And what you just did to me was mind blowing, honestly the best sex I've ever had, and I can't wait to do it again." I closed my eyes as her fingers trailed across my cheekbones and a kiss was pressed to my temple. "You were incredible. But you're crushing me, baby."
I chuckled and pulled out of her slowly, rolling off her as soon as my cock was free of her body, my chest still heaving to reclaim the breath that was punched from my lungs. I rolled onto my side and tucked her into me, curling around her body and cupping a breast as I rested my head in between her shoulder blades.
"You're such a boob man." I smiled into her skin and pressed a gentle kiss to her back.
"I'm a Bella man. Now shush and get some sleep. You'll need to be well rested for round two."
"Yes, sir!" I ignored my cocks attempt at stiffening up again and snuggled into Bella's back further, aligning our bodies so that they slotted together like spoons.
Life couldn't get much better.
I know that I haven't updated in forever, but this parenting thing is no joke. I thought I knew what I was talking about when I started writing this – I had no clue! Haha. We had a little boy, and he's beautiful, even if he was agony to birth. 6lb 7oz, 10 fingers and 10 toes, with dark hair and his daddy's nose. I'm so in love with him honestly, you have no idea. I thought I knew what love was and then I gave birth and now its like the whole world has shifted.
I want this story to have a bit of a time jump so the date is 5th August 2016.
As always, read, review and enjoy my lovelies!
