Previously…

He turned so she was the one on the wall, "Bella?"

"What?" She asked looking up into his impossibly green eyes. He smiled licking his lips slightly, "I love you, all of you, every single inch of you." He leaned his face closer, "Know what I love most?"

She sighed, "My butt?"

He laughed grazing her lips gently, "Your heart, and your soul that glows so luminously that even the stars can't compare." She gasped and his lips enveloped hers.

The morning of her appointment she paced the floor while he watched her flipping through some paperwork. "Bella I was thinking, shouldn't we get you an OB doctor in Forks? I mean you do want to deliver there right?"

"I do, but I also want you to be there and not knowing what your filming schedule will be. I need to be flexible right?"

He sat his papers down patting next to him. She followed his lead sitting beside him. He kissed her taking her hand in his, "I already told you. I will be with you no matter what. Nothing is more important to me than my family. If you want to be in Forks then we will be. We'll do this today then send a copy to the OB of your choice in Forks. I figure we can start moving the things I want there soon, the rest I'll leave."

He shrugged, "We'll keep this house as a second home, we can visit whenever and if I find we don't need it we can sell it. Are you wanting to keep your place or do you want something a little bigger?"

She took a moment to process what he said, "I…I only have two rooms. I would have to sell it. I never really planned any of this. I just planned on me and Timmy." He could see her confusion and smiled kissing her nose, "It's ok love, no hurry. I didn't mean to overwhelm you."

She leaned into him resting her face on his chest, "I didn't think about it. I've had so many other things on my mind." She absentmindedly ran her hand over her stomach. He smiled running his fingers through her hair, "I know baby and I am so sorry I haven't been here with you to help you through. You should not have been here alone to face things."

"We did the best we could." She answered softly.

He watched the way the sun light lit up the red in her hair making it glisten and smiled. "We should be getting ready sweetheart."

"I am ready, Alice said we could pick up Timmy whenever or she would drop him off so…"

She sat up and stood. He watched her cross the room and slip her flats on. It always amazed him how graceful she could be. She always claimed she was clumsy, but when she didn't think about it, when she didn't pay attention she moved with a fluid ease that was uniquely Bella.

He followed her and grabbed his car keys. The doctor was nice as she explained the ultrasound to them. Bella was still nervous and she wasn't sure if it was because this was in her face real or because Edward was sitting there and involved in this pregnancy.

He took her hand reassuringly. "Dr. Alexis how far along is she exactly?"

She smiled, "Well from everything I have here looks like 18 weeks 2 days." Bella felt her mouth drop. The doctor raised an eyebrow, "Were you expecting a different number?"

"I was just thinking more along the lines of a month or two." Bella said shocked.

Edward laughed, "We've known a short time and she's a few months late so it's expected. I just think we've had so much going on it's kind of a shock." Bella put her face in her hands, "I don't have a bed, or a room and I don't have anything ready, and…" He stopped her by standing and pulling her close rubbing her back in a soothing motion.

"Babe, relax we have time. It's ok." He looked back to Dr. Alexis. "We'll let you know where to send her record's as soon as we get the physician in Fork's. It should be soon."

"No problem. You two take care and call me if you need anything in the mean time. If it takes longer than a month be sure to bring her back in here."

"I will."

She walked out and he handed her the clothes from the chair. "Do you need any help love?"

"No, I'm fine." He watched as she dressed, but still seemed to be a little distracted. When she was finished he took her hand in his, "Bella, it's going to all be fine. You are going to be wonderful."

"I know."

He lifted her chin, "Look at me." Her eyes met his and he smiled, "I love you." She smiled then, "I love you too." His phone vibrated and he pulled it out looking at it and slid it back in his pocket.

"Ready love?"

"Yes." She took his hand and followed him out. They arrived home and he sighed, "I am going to look over a few thing love, why don't you look online and see if there are any bedroom sets you like for the baby? Or maybe houses you would like to look at when we get back to Forks? We won't have time to build unless you want to move after the baby is born."

"Sounds like fun."

"Ok, you do that. I'll check in with you in a little while. He kissed her head and handed her the laptop walking into his study and shutting his door. It was hours later, she had seen him pass to grab a drink but had not heard from him so she glanced in. He was sitting with his feet propped up on the oversized desk. A pen against his lips and his head leaned back with his face looking toward the wall as he stared off into space.

The phone rang and he pushed the button, "Hello."

"Hey, you finally decided to answer."

He sighed and frowned, "What is it?"

"What's the plan? I know you aren't happy with the changes, but Cullen what are you doing?"

She watched how his face grew confused then he tossed the pen angry, "I can't do it man. This is not what I agreed to. I have a family now. I will have to answer for this, I can't look my son in the eye and tell him why I played this kind of character it is disgusting. I just…It's not like I need the money, they can't sue me because they changed things."

"I am not saying do it. I just hope you know what you are doing. This company is huge, if you ever decided to come back they could remember this."

"They could, they could also remember the other good things I did for them before and why I chose to not do this one."

"What does Bella say?"

He inhaled deeply turning to the window, "I haven't told her. I don't want to worry her. I have put so much on her lately that I want to give her some peace. She needs to relax and just be my beautiful, wonderful wife."

"Uh huh well, just make sure you know what you are doing. This could be a huge mistake."

Edward's voice was cold as he cut him off, "Gotta run." He turned pushing the off button. Bella leaned on the door out of sight wondering what was going on. She had noticed he had seemed sort of distant and worried, but she didn't want to make it obvious that she knew. She knew if he wanted to talk he would come to her he always had.

Making her way to the kitchen she grabbed some water and leaned back to see him. He smiled, "How about going out for dinner tonight?"

"I guess, but doesn't that mean lots of photos?"

He grinned, "Depends on the planning." He grabbed his phone and pushed a button, "Yes, hello Marjorie darling this is Edward Cullen." He smiled at Bella and winked.

"Yes, yes well thank you it has been too long, I was thinking of stopping by tonight for dinner do you think you could make sure to keep a spot available should I decide to make a stop?"

He nodded, "You are such a doll, I really do appreciate it darling thank you so much. See you tonight."

He closed the phone with a smile. "That simple, only we don't show, but they are popular and they will let all of the photogs know I'll be there. Then they will be there looking for me."

Bella shook her head. She knew he could be sly but she had never heard him flirt like that or be quite so devious. She knew it was all part of his job but to actually see it was amazing and it was as if it took him no effort at all it just came so naturally. He kissed her head, "Most celebrities know where to go if they want shots taken and where to go if they don't."

She nodded, "I need to call Alice."

"I'll do it, why don't you relax. It's been a long day, how about a massage? You go get ready and I'll call Alice and be right up ok?"

"Edward…" She wanted to talk about things, things that were going on with him and seemed to be bothering him. Things he seemed to want to avoid. He kissed her softly, "Go beautiful, I'll be right up."

He pushed the button for Alice and blew her a kiss turning away leaving her little choice. She bit her lip turning and heading up the stairs. She took a quick shower and relaxed on the bed. He had already lit incense and was waiting for her shirtless against the balcony doors. He smiled, "I warmed the oil this time, should feel really good.

"Great."

He sat beside her removing her towel and starting at her feet. She had wanted to talk to him but the more he massaged the more incoherent her thoughts became. His warm strokes were heating her muscles. She moaned softly as he continued to move higher upon her body leaving trails of fire in his wake.

"Bella, you are so beautiful." He whispered kissing the small of her back. She gasped gripping the pillow with her knuckles. He smirked watching her reaction. He lifted up to sit over her backside and massage her shoulders and back. "You know when we were young and you used to massage my back it drove me crazy."

"Really?" She asked with a trembling voice.

He looked down at the smooth flesh as it yielded under his fingertips. She was so soft, so warm, and so delicate. "Yes, you never had any idea how much I was in love with you. It seemed like it took you forever to get the hint. Always so shy and beautiful, I loved to see you blush at the smallest things." She gasped at his words wondering why she had never noticed that when they were younger.

He leaned up, "Turn over." He knew he would regret it when she did, but it was inevitable he couldn't wait much longer his body was scorching and she was the reason why, and from the looks of things she was on the same wavelength.

She did and he reached above her head where she had rested her hands and started there, but his eyes were focused intensely on hers. "I was so happy to hold your hand and for everyone to know you were mine." Slowly never breaking eye contact, he slipped his hands into hers and leaned his forehead against hers.

"Now the world knows you are mine. You have no idea what you do to me, how much I want you right now."

His expression was so intense, so passionate. She closed her eyes trying to control her pounding heart. Willing it to stay in her chest. She wanted this man like she had never wanted any other and would never want any other again.

His nose caressed her jaw, "You have no idea what the thought of my babe growing inside you does to me my Bella…my beautiful bride." She gulped feeling emotions slamming into her in waves. His left hand slid down her arm, down her rib and came to rest on her stomach.

"We made this beautiful gift you and I. Out of love and passion we made this." His lips fell to her neck. She moaned her hands gripping his hair as she began to pant. His attempt at seduction was working because she was way past the boiling point.

All she could think was keep-talking baby. He leaned up kissing her deeply. She couldn't control the moan that escaped her lips and he chuckled moving slightly so he wouldn't be lying directly on her. He stroked her cheek, "We must be careful, I don't want to put my weight on you love."

He looked down making a trail with his finger, "There are however several places…" His lips fell to her ear, "I want to kiss you." She arched into his hand and he grinned wickedly pulling her hand from his arm, "Grip the bed love, you're going to need the support."

Several hours later they ate dinner at a quiet, cozy small Italian restaurant. They were in a dark candlelit corner. She looked around, "I really like this place." He took a sip of wine, "Me too. Very relaxing."

She giggled, "I thought you were already relaxed."

"Oh love, trust me when I say I was. I meant for a restaurant."

He leaned across taking her hand in his, "So how do you feel?" She smiled, "Relaxed. Calm. I am thinking that was the goal right?"

He smiled, "Yes, but I meant about things in general. I mean boy, girl. Move or no. " She understood what he meant and looked over his handsome face for a minute then nodded, "Well let me think a moment… I am thinking girl."

He wiped his mouth, "Really why?"

She shrugged, "Hoping?"

He laughed accepting her answer, "Ok, and house?"

"House I am thinking we need to look for something bigger, not like your house here. I want something simple. More like a normal house not a mansion."

He bit his lip, "Can we compromise?"

"How much?"

He rested his chin on his hands, "I want a little larger home, I would like the possibility of more children and I want to have room to breathe. I've always had a big home."

She thought a moment. He was right he had even growing up it wouldn't be fair for him to give up everything. She nodded, "Ok just not this big, a more normal sized big."

"Agreed."

She bit her lip as the waiter poured him more wine and left. "Edward, you know you can talk to me about anything."

He took a deep sip and sighed, "Yup, you almost ready?"

She reached across the table taking his hand, "What's wrong baby?" He was silent a moment then smiled, "Nothing love. Just tired."

"I feel like there is more to it then that."

He looked at the ground, "Bella, sometimes there are things I don't want to talk about just now. Let them go. When I am ready I will."

"Ok, I just wanted you to know I am here, I always have been."

He smiled kissing her hand. "I know love. It's something I need to figure out alone."

"You're not alone anymore."

He sighed standing, "The limo is waiting."

Thanks for your wonderful replies. I finally made it past 1000! Whoo Hoo!!!
