Chapter 19
"Her kisses left something to be desired... the rest of her"
Edward's POV
I crushed my lips back onto hers. She was starting to pull away and squirm her way away from the wall. I wasn't having that. I threw my hands up onto the wall, flanking her head. She had no way out now. I pushed her back into the wall. She seemed hesitant. She wasn't kissing me back.
"Come on Bella…." I whispered in her ear as I placed kisses down her neck. Her hands wrapped around my waist and pulled me closer to her. I smiled against her skin.
"Edward" she moaned. "We shouldn't be doing this here…". I stopped kissing her and sighed. I rested my forehead on her shoulder.
"You're right" I mumbled. Bella began rubbing my back.
"We better get going Edward…if we have to be back here by five. I still don't understand what's going on…" she said
"I don't want to move" I groaned. I felt about five years old but I really didn't want to move. I just wanted to have Bella near me. I nuzzled my face deeper into the nape of her neck.
"Edward, honey, you're being very silly" she cooed as she pulled my face away from her neck and looked into my eyes.
"I know" I sighed. She leaned into give me a gentle kiss on the lips and then took my hand.
"Shall we get going?" she asked. I nodded and walked with her to the elevators. We stepped in. We were the only two people in there. That was unusual. This was a hospital. People took elevators twenty four seven and the elevators were usually crammed. Bella walked right to the back the of the elevator and leaned against the railing while I pushed the button for ground level. While doing so though the huge red "STOP" button caught my attention. I glimpsed quickly over to look at Bella. She was staring at the ceiling. I moved my eyes back to focus on the "STOP" button. A voice in my head told me to not push it but I ignored it. I pushed the button with one finger and waited for the elevator to come to a halt. The elevator shook slightly then stopped and Bella gasped.
"What's going on?" she asked in a worried tone. "Tell me where stuck!"
"Well you could kind of say that…" I said with a devious smile as I approached her.
"Edward Cullen! What did you do?" she screeched.
"Accidentally pushed the wrong button…"
"Yeah right! You're a liar" she giggled. By this point I was inches away from her face.
"Maybe I am…" I whispered as I pushed my lips gently to hers. This time she reciprocated. At first our actions were very tame but then they became intense, driven by passion. Her hands were tangled in my hair and mine were roaming all over her back. She lightly bit my lower lip as she pulled away from me to kiss my neck. She sent chills down my spine. I leaned by head back as she continued to kiss me.
"Bella" I moaned. Her kisses became stronger. She moved her lips back to mine. Her motions were exaggerated and fierce. I took over at this point. I let my tongue enter her mouth. I felt her smile. She followed my every move. I pulled away from her and began kissing the area of her chest that was exposed to me.
"That tickles" Bella giggled. I continued to kiss down her chest until I ran into the fabric of her sweater. Feeling frisky I undid the zipper of her sweater and pulled it off. She had nothing else on but her bra. Suddenly Bella's hands were at by belt buckle. She yanked me towards her, pulling me closer. I placed tiny kisses along the edge of her bra line. I felt her tremble.
"Give into me Bella" I whispered as I moved to kiss her earlobe. I felt her go limp in my arms. Was she finally giving in? I continued kissing her making my way from her ear to her jaw line then back to her lips. She was breathing heavy now. Suddenly she had he hands at the bottom of my t-shirt. She pulled up and I helped her take it off. Before I even managed to pull my head out of the shirt she was kissing my chest. I felt my knees go weak beneath me. I was loosing control. I hoisted her up onto me, her legs wrapping around my waist. I pushed us against the wall of the elevator. I was kissing her more passionately then ever. Her nails were digging into my back but I enjoyed the pain. I managed to get one hand to reach the clasp of her bra. Unexpectedly she pulled away from me and hung her head.
"Not now…" she whispered.
"Why not honey?" I asked as kissed her shoulders.
"This isn't right. I don't want to do this here. Please Edward…" she said as he pulled my face to meet hers. I saw how scared she was. I didn't want to push her anymore than I already had.
"I'm so sorry Bella…" I said as I placed her back on the ground. "I should have never started this…"
"No! It's not your fault. It's mine. I should be the sorry one. I know this is what you want…" she said with tears forming in her eyes.
"It's true Bella...I do want this. But I can wait as long as you want. I can see you're scared sweetheart. It's okay…" I comforted her as I pulled her closer to me. I rested my chin on the top of her head. I felt like a total asshole. I then realized I was acting like every other teenage boy in the world…stupid and hormone driven.
She pulled away from me and smiled.
'Thanks" was all she whispered before she bent down to grab her sweater from the floor and put it on. She the handed me my shirt. I threw in on quickly and moved back to the buttons of the elevator. I released the stop button and felt the elevator start to move again. I looked over my shoulder at Bella. She had her arms folded over her stomach. She looked sickly.
"Bella are you okay?" I asked
"Just shaken up. I'm fine" she smiled at me.
"Oh god. I'm so sorry Bella. I don't know what I was thinking…".
'Stop" she commanded as she held her hand up in front of her. 'Just stop. You have nothing to be sorry about. Everything is fine Edward I promise. I thought I was ready for this but I'm not. That's all. I hope you understand that…."
"I do" I stated as I moved in to hug her. She held me tightly to her. The doors to the elevator then opened and we stepped out. There was a huge crowd of people standing around the elevators. Everyone looked pissed. Bella hid her face in my chest and giggled. I tried to keep a straight face.
"That stupid thing got stuck! We must have been in there for forty five minutes. I wouldn't suggest taking it…" I said remaining quite composed. I pushed our way out of the crowd and eventually we reached the front door. Bella jumped out in front of me.
"That was hilarious!" she laughed. I winked at her. She ran ahead of me and stood beside my car. She hopped into the passenger seat and waited for me to get in. Bella seemed to be back to her normal self. I was thankful. I could never forgive myself if I had hurt her.
"So?" she asked as I pulled out of the parking spot. "What's going on today?"
"Oh yeah that. I almost forgot. Rose and Emmett have asked the family to move in with them for a little while. Rose is being released from the hospital but only because my Dad has agreed to look after her while she's at home recuperating. They could use help with the twins" I explained
"Oh" she sighed. "Well I'm sure you guys will have lots of fun". She looked sad when she spoke.
"What do you mean Bella? You're coming with us…" I said trying to clear up any confusion. She laughed.
"Whoops! I feel like an idiot. I thought you guys didn't want me there". I smiled at her.
"Never…" I said. Bella seemed to be ecstatic. She pulled her cell phone out of her purse and began dialing someone's number. Eventually I clued in and realized it was Charlie's. She was getting his permission to move in with Rose. Clearly Charlie had agreed because I saw a huge smile appear on her face. Her conversation ended quickly. She looked back at me.
"Whose house first? Yours or mine?" she asked
"Mine if you don't mind. You house is on the way to Rose and Emmett's. It will be easier.
"Fine by me! Drive faster would you?" she said with a wink. I listened and sped up my driving. I was surprised Bella wanted me to go that fast. She was probably just excited. We pulled into my garage and parked beside Jasper's SUV. I saw the he already had packed a suitcase and it was sitting in the back seat. Bella jumped out of the car and made her way to the door in the garage that led into my house. I ran after her but she was already inside. By the time I had caught up with her she was already in Jasper's arms giving him a huge hug. Jasper was squeezing her extra tight and she struggled to get out a laugh. I feared that she was suffocating but he eventually released her and held her around her waist with one arm and kissed the top of her head. They were both facing me. Jasper loved Bella immensely. He would often call her to talk about presents for Alice or the wedding. Bella had admitted to me on several occasions that she adored Jasper as well.
"I missed you Bella" he chuckled as he looked at me and smiled.
"Hey man" he said as he let Bella go and walked over to me. "Long time no see" he said with a wink. I laughed.
"How's the packing coming along here? I see you're packed and ready to go" I said while I pointed to the garage.
"I was packed in like 10 minutes. The rest of the time I've been moping around here waiting for Alice and Esme to finish packing". He checked his watch. "We are approaching two hours now…" he sighed. Poor guy. He was probably frustrated. I was laughing so hard I thought I was going to pass out. Jasper just stared at me for awhile before smacking me upside the head playfully.
"Cut it out would you?" he asked seriously but then reverted to laughing along with me. I noticed that Bella was missing. She'd probably gone wondering through the house for the rest of the family. Jasper and I walked into the kitchen in hopes of finding her and there she was, sitting with my dad.
"Hi Dad" I said as I joined them at the kitchen table. "Are you and Bella discussing something important?"
"Oh not really…" he responded. "Just the tree at Harvard. I'm glad you had a chance to show it to her Edward". Bella winked at me.
"Well if you all will excuse me. I'm going to track down my wife and head out of here to Rose's and Emmett's place. See you all there?" he questioned as he stood up from the table. We all nodded as he left the kitchen and headed up the stairs.
"So guys. Are you willing to help me pack?" I asked Bella and Jazz.
"I am!" Bella exclaimed
"Might as well. Alice won't let me help her anyways" Jasper chirped. We ran upstairs. Bella took a second to pop into my parent's room to say hello to my mom and then joined me and Jasper in my room. I had pulled out a suitcase from the back of my closet.
"What do you want me to do Edward?" Bella asked.
"Grab some clothes out of my closet for me will ya?" I said. She hurried to the closet and began scanning through the options. She pulled random tops and bottoms off hangers and folded them. Jasper was helping me pack up miscellaneous items and I packed my toiletry bag. I didn't have much left in my room since it was all left in Boston. Within 10 minutes we were all packed and heading towards Alice's room. Thankfully she was finished just about the same time as I was. She had loaded up two suitcases. I wasn't surprised however. It was my sister after all. When Alice saw Bella she jumped off her bed and ran towards her engulfing her in a huge embrace. They chit chatted for awhile before Jasper insisted that it was time to leave. Once we had got our luggage downstairs we shut off all the lights and made our way to the garage.
"Why don't you ride with us?" Jasper suggested motioning to his Lexus and pulling his suitcase out of the back seat. "There's plenty of room and we'll save some gas". I looked at Bella. She was already getting into the back seat with Alice.
"Sounds like a plan". I rushed over to my Volvo and grabbed my laptop out of the back seat before I helped Jasper load the suitcases into the back of the vehicle. I then got into the passenger's seat. I informed Jasper that we needed to head to Bella's place before we went to Rose and Emmett's. He nodded and zoomed out of the driveway. Alice and Bella were talking non stop in the back seat. I didn't even bother to interrupt them.
"So how does it feel to be an Uncle?" Jasper asked me while he changed lanes.
"One of the best feelings ever…" I tried to explain. "How about you?"
"It's pretty damn awesome. It's amazing how I fell in love with them the second I held them" he said with a smile appearing on his face.
"I know what you mean. It was like that for me too. They're beautiful aren't they?"
"They'd certainly win that "most beautiful baby" contest" he laughed. It was so true. Jasper continued to race to Bella's house. It was already 4:00 and we needed to get back to the hospital by 5:00.
Jasper pulled up beside the curb in front of Bella's house. Alice started to step out of the car.
"Oh no you don't Alice. If you go in to help Bella we'll be here for another two hours!" I joked. She wasn't pleased with me. She slammed her door shut and crossed her arms over her chest. Jasper laughed.
"We'll wait in the car I think…" Jasper whispered as I got out. I helped Bella jump out of the car and we rushed into her house. She bolted up the stairs to her room and I followed slightly behind. She yanked a suitcase out of the corner of her room and threw it onto her bed.
"You" she said pointing to me. "You can grab me all the flip flops that are sitting in the bottom of my closet and throw them into the suitcase".
"You're so hot when you're barking orders at me…" I said. She gave me a look and then I realized I should probably get to work. In a matter of twenty minutes Bella's suitcase was packed and in the back portion of Jasper's SUV. Jasper had calmed Alice down and she was back to her cheery self. Jasper pulled away from Bella's house.
"What do you think Edward? Should we head to the hospital now? I don't think there's enough time to drop everything off at the house…" he said.
"I agree. That's probably our best bet". Jasper gave me a thumbs up and drove in the direction of the hospital. In half an hour we had parked underground (next to Emmett's Red Lincoln Navigator and my father's Mercedes) and were heading up to see Rose, Emmett, and the girls. We met my parents outside the door. We entered the room quickly and saw that Rose was dressed in a purple sweat suit and ready to go in a wheelchair. She looked as stunning as ever. She smiled as she watched us all walk in.
"Perfect timing!" she exclaimed. "Lets get this show on the road!". My dad approached her and began pushing her wheelchair out the door. Emmett was near the bed strapping the girls into their car seats. I walked over to him and asked if he needed help. He asked if I minded carrying Sophie down to his car. Of course I didn't mind. Emmett was going to carry Mimi. I noticed that my mom, Alice, Jasper, and Bella were carrying all of the presents and flowers that Rose and the girls had received. We all approached the elevator simultaneously and stepped in. The girls seemed to be behaving themselves. No crying as of yet. Emmett looked pretty tired though. Soon we were back in the underground parking. I helped Emmett place the girls into the car before helping my Dad with getting Rose into the front seat. Everything was loaded up in their truck.
"I'm going to ride with them okay sweetheart?" My father asked my mom as he handed her the keys to his car. She nodded and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.
"Alright everyone. We'll see you at the house" Emmett announced as he hopped into the driver's seat and drove off. My mom told us to drive safe as she got into the Mercedes and followed Emmett's lead. Those of us remaining got back into Jasper's car and followed the rest of the family. In twenty five minutes we were at Rose and Emmett's place. I saw my mom helping Emmett with the girl's car seats and my dad helping Rose into the house so there was no need to rush. We lifted the suitcases of the car and dragged them towards the house. Alice and Jasper lugged their suitcases straight up to their rooms but I stayed in the hall of the house with Bella.
Bella's POV
Edward was standing beside me. He moved to give me a hug and kissed the top of my head.
"We're home" he chuckled. So much had happened in the last three days I couldn't even believe it. Emmett moseyed back downstairs.
"I put the girls in their nursery for now. They seem to like it so far" he laughed. "Mom and Dad are with them now. Rose is up in bed resting. She did tell me that she wanted to talk to you though Bells…" Emmett said.
"Oh? Right now?" I asked. Emmett smiled and nodded. "You better hurry too Bella…you know how Rose gets" he said with a wink. I laughed as I gave him a peck on the cheek and kissed Edward on the lips. I started to ascend the stairs. I heard Emmett tell Edward that he was hungry and that they should order a pizza or something. They both walked off into the family room. When I reached the top of the staircase I proceeded to walk to the end of the hall where the master bedroom was located. I knocked softly on the door.
"Come on in Bella!" she said. I peeked my head through the door before entering the room.
"How are you feeling?" I asked while I sat in the bed next to her.
"Tired. But I'm glad I'm home. And I'm glad everyone is here. Especially you Bella. There's something I want to show you" she said as she flung the comforter off of her and began to get out of bed.
"Rose should you really be doing that?" I asked, worried. She winked at me.
"Don't tell Carlisle okay?" she asked.
"I won't" I said with a smile. I hopped off the bed myself and stood by Rose's side to make sure she was fine to walk.
"Follow me" she whispered. I did as she asked and followed her back towards the staircase. She quickly turned right and headed down another hallway. I kept pace with her. She stopped abruptly in front of a closed door.
"Open it!" she said with a huge grin and pointed to the door. What was she doing? This was strange but I opened the door anyways.
"Oh my God…" I gasped.
"Do you like it?..." I heard Rose ask.
