Chapter 15-Surprises

BPOV

Oh. My. God. What did he just say? He wants a family with me? Does that mean he wants to marry me too? As good as being Edward's wife sounded, this was way too fast—even for me. I have thought about marrying Edward, but what woman doesn't when she is in love? What scared me most of all was his honesty. Could Edward and I have a baby together?

I started daydreaming about a green-eyed, copper-haired baby, being held in its daddy's arms. Would I stay living with Angela or would he want me to move in with him? What if he didn't want me anymore? Would I be able to raise a baby by myself, with my wages? I didn't know. All I knew was Edward let go of my face and was staring at me with a concerned look, and I needed to say something.

"Errr…what did you say?"

"I said I want to be with you forever, Bella, when the time is right for both of us. If you end up pregnant, I will be there every step of the way. Sweetie, I promise you I will take care of anything you need. But for now, let's not worry about any of this. You never know what will happen, so we can worry about it later, if need be. I am sorry I scared you, but I just had to tell you how I felt."

"I know you are right, Edward. I do tend to worry too much. But I have to tell you something before we can drop this."

"OK. What is it, Bella? But first, just tell me I haven't lost you. I feel so foolish."

I inhaled a large breathe and released a loud sigh before I spoke again. I was about to tell Edward how I felt, and I was freaking out. Before I could process any more information, I blurted it all out.

"Edward, I love you. I want to be with you forever. I know it is too soon, but like you, I can't help it. I have this strange feeling about you that I can't control. If I am pregnant, I wanna keep it and be with you in any way you'll have me so we can do it together. This thing between us is so new and it scares me, but it's not a bad thing. Am I making any sense at all?"

Whew, I said it. It's out there, and now I have to wait and see what will happen. I looked at Edward, and he had this huge smile on his face that is apparently infectious since I now had the same smile. He leaned in to me and put his hands on the sides of my head again. His face came closer and before I knew it, he kissed me with more passion and love than I had ever felt.

After a few minutes of making out like needy teenagers, he pulled away and looked into my eyes.

"Bella, I love you more than I am capable of saying. I won't ever leave you, and I promise, we will live happily ever after. Promise me you will always remember that."

"I promise. All the things you have said to me in the past, I believe them. I won't ever doubt your feelings for me again."

Edward gave me a quick kiss and stood up.

"What do you say we do some dishes and get ready to spend the day together? It's Saturday, and I haven't seen you for nearly a week."

I smiled and jumped off my stool. Grabbing the dirty breakfast dishes, I met Edward at the sink and gave him a kiss.

"Sounds perfect. What did you have in mind?"

EPOV

Doing dishes with Bella was surprisingly easy. We moved about the kitchen in sync. It was like we had been doing it for years; each of us seemed to know the next move the other would make. We only collided with each other when we intended to—A kiss here, a grope there. It was the first time I ever enjoyed doing dishes.

We discussed things we could do together. There were the usual suggestions-

movie, bowling, picnic, walk, etc—but nothing really popped out to us that sounded good. There aren't a lot of exciting things to do in Port Angeles. Bella told me she didn't care what we did as long as we were together, and I had to agree.

I did have one idea. It consisted of some of the things we talked about doing, but it wasn't in town. The gears in my head roared to life as a plan came to mind. When Bella excused herself to make a phone call, I got on my computer and started looking for information.

I wanted to treat Bella to a fun day where we could just be, followed by a romantic dinner out. I researched all the hot spots in Seattle. I decided on the Seattle Aquarium, a boat tour of the harbor, Pike Place Market, and dinner at the Space Needle. It should be a fun-filled day.

Just as I was shutting down my computer, Bella came into the living room.

"What were you doing, Edward?" Bella asked, sounding skeptical.

"Nothing, just looking something up." I was being honest, as long as I didn't have to tell her what I was looking up.

"Yeah, OK. There is only one thing a man would be looking up and turning off as soon as a woman comes into the room. You were looking at porn." Bella had a hinge of humor in her eyes.

This couldn't be any funnier. She thought I was looking at porn? I haven't had to look at porn in years; there was no need. I had so many women I had to fight them off with a stick. Of course, now I really regret my past choices. Right now, I needed to get off of this subject and get us out of here.

"No, I actually wasn't. I have no need to look at porn; not while I have you." I stood and walked over to her, gave her a sweet peck on the lips, and squeezed her ass.

Bella giggled and threw her arms around me. I could hold my Bella all day long.

"As nice as staying in all day with you sounds, I have other plans. C'mon, let's go. Do you need to stop at home for anything?"

"Shit, my purse, I do need to get that. Plus, I told Angela I would pop in; she was really worried."

"Hmmmm," I kissed Bella's hair and inhaled her scent. I needed to get some of her own toiletries over here; I loved the way she used to smell like strawberries. "She called late last night, do you remember that?"

"Barely. I never knew she was such a worrier. I'm not used to having someone worry about me." Bella blushed, of course. I absolutely adored that part of her.

"Sweetie, I worry about you every moment we are not together. Now, let's go take care of the Angela situation and get your purse; I have a lot planned for today." I just hoped she enjoys it.

We stopped at Bella's apartment and managed to avoid Alice's interference. I met Angela and Ben; they were both very friendly. Angela seemed to want to say something, and I suppose it had to do with last week, but luckily we avoided that conversation as well. Once Bella got her purse, we got into my car and started the two-hour drive to Seattle.

As we drove through the Olympic Peninsula and around Puget Sound, we talked about anything and everything. We talked about silly things: our childhood, our families, dreams, desires, and whatever else people talk about when they are still getting to know each other. Before I knew it, we were in Seattle.

I took off downtown and headed toward the pier. The first place I wanted to take Bella was Pike Place Market. Being Saturday, it should be hopping and full of fresh products. When Bella saw where we were, she began bouncing in her seat. To say she was excited was an understatement.

"Oh my God, Edward! I've always wanted to come here. Can we see the place where they throw the fish?" Bella actually squealed.

"Anything you want, Baby." Seeing her happy made me happy.

I got out of the car and walked around to let Bella out. She was already out of her seat and slamming the door when I got to her side of the car.

"Excited are we?" I don't know why I asked, anyone within a hundred yards could hear how excited she was.

"Edward, this is perfect. C'mon, let's go!" Bella grabbed my hand and started running towards the market.

Our first stop was Pike Place Fish. They were already throwing fish, and Bella could hardly contain herself. It was entertaining to watch her get excited, especially about fish. We walked right up, Bella still tugging at my arm, and got up close and personal with the fishmongers. Bella's eyes were wide, and her smile was a big as it could get. We stood and watched as the men in orange jumpers threw fish back and, and I decided to get some salmon for us. I really wanted to see Bella's reaction to them tossing our fish.

"Can I get two Wild Alaskan King Salmon filets over here?" Bella heard me and turned around to face me.

"Edward, I love salmon! Do you think they are going to throw it?"

"Of course they are, Sweetie. It's what they do; it's what made them famous." How can she be so grown up, yet so innocent? I love this woman.

The guys hollered back and forth, and my two salmon filets went flying through the air. I watched Bella's eyes follow our flying fish and smiled. The monger closest to the front asked how I wanted it packed, and I selected the twenty-four hour packaging. It should stay cold and fresh till tomorrow afternoon. A couple minutes later, I was handed a box containing my now refrigerated fish.

Bella was still giddy from excitement, but had calmed down considerably. We walked around hand in hand, checking out all the fresh produce, flowers, and local artistry. We laughed a lot and had a great time. I bought Bella some flowers, which were also packed for traveling, and both of our hands were full of local produce. Bella even found a used bookstore in the market and managed to get a few books she had been looking for. I tried to buy them for her, but she wouldn't hear of it.

After an hour or so, we made a trip back to the car and unloaded our arms. I took a moment to steal a kiss or two and we started off towards the market again. Our destination? The pier. We took the stairs that traveled down to the pier and headed across the street to the Seattle Aquarium. Once again, Bella was thrilled beyond compare.

We spent the next two hours looking at all of the exhibits. We spent the most time in the Underwater Dome watching all the different sea creatures swim about. We sat on a bench quietly and just watched. As the viewing area emptied out we would kiss and touch, only stopping when someone new came in. We also saw the seals and otters, the tide pool exhibit, and there was even a coral reef display with sharks. Bella and I held hands or had our arms around each other the entire time.

When we were done at the aquarium, we walked down to another pier to have a bowl of clam chowder at the world-famous Ivar's Original Acres of Clams. The chowder was delicious, and just the right amount of food to hold us off until dinner—since we had such a late breakfast.

After our chowder snack, we headed over to Argosy Tours for the one-hour harbor tour of Elliott Bay. We cruised through the bay, learning about the Seattle skyline, viewing the Space Needle and gorgeous views of the Olympic Mountains, and meeting a famous resident of a buoy by the shipping terminal—a California Sea Lion. Once again, we spend the entire time engrossed with each other and always touching. Even though the boat was full of people, we still felt a sense of privacy and intimacy.

It was a wonderful way to end the day, or so I told Bella. On our way back to the car, Bella expressed her disappointment in not visiting the Space Needle. I told her we were out of time, but we could come back. We reached the car, and I opened the door for Bella. She thanked me for the wonderful time and gave me a kiss. I closed her door and walked around, getting in myself.

We talked about our day, as we 'headed for home'. It would be dark soon, so I told Bella we could swing by and at least look at the Space Needle on the way home. She had no idea what I was up to until I pulled in to the valet parking.

BPOV

Today had been the most fun I have ever had. Edward took me to all the places I wanted to visit but never had the chance to. The only place we hadn't gone to that I was dying to see was the Space Needle. I had seen it from the bay, but I had always wanted to see it up close—maybe even ride the elevator up. For now, I was happy enough just driving by. Edward had already done so much for me.

As we were approaching the Space Needle, I asked Edward if we could open the sun roof so I could look straight up. He didn't acknowledge my request and instead pulled into the valet parking lot.

"Edward, what are we doing here?" I had my suspicions, but I didn't want to assume.

As Edward stopped the car, he reached out and grabbed my hand. "Having dinner." He pulled my hand up and kissed the top of it.

"But…you said there wasn't time. How…why?" I was confused, but more than that, I was shocked. I never expected to eat here.

"That is what I was doing on the computer when you were on the phone; I was making reservations for tonight. I hope that is alright."

"It's more than alright, its…it's wonderful, Edward. Are we really eating here?" This was way too much; I don't know how I am going to be able to contain my excitement.

Edward chuckled as he got out of the car. This time I waited for him help me out of the car; the look he gave me at the market told me he enjoyed doing it. When we were both out and the car was driving off with the valet, I jumped into Edward's arms and hugged him tightly.

"Bella," Edward was still chuckling. "I love you too, Baby. Yes, we are having dinner here. C'mon, let's get going. We don't wanna miss our reservation."

I nodded excitedly. Edward put me down after kissing the top of my head, putting his hand on his small of my back and leading me inside. We rode the elevator all the up to the restaurant. Upon our arrival, the hostess took Edward's name and escorted us to a table next to a window. The view was spectacular.

We ordered our food as the restaurant slowly spun a full three-hundred and sixty degrees, over the course of about an hour. We ate our delectable food and talked continuously. To say that this was the best date would be an understatement. After Edward paid the check, we rode the elevator up to the observation deck.

It was dusk, but we were able to see everything clearly. It had been a beautiful day and everything was so much clearer without the windows. Edward stood behind me with his arms wrapped around me and his chin resting on top of my head while I stared off across the sound at the Olympic Mountains.

"It's so beautiful. Imagine, our lives are hidden in those mountains and usually by clouds." I was in a trance of sorts, thinking about my life out there and feeling Edward behind me.

"It is beautiful, but nothing compared to you, Love," Edward whispered in my ear as I blushed. "That blush is beautiful too."

"Edward, let's go home." I was having a blast, but I suddenly had the need for privacy.

"Everything alright, Bella?" Edward questioned while craning his head down to look at me.

"It's fine, I just have something else on my mind at the moment." I winked at him and felt his cock twitch.

"Well, what if I told you I had one more surprise for you?" He waggled his eyebrows and I instantly knew what he wanted.

"That depends on what it is." Oh please let it be what I think it is.

"I booked us a hotel room, as I figured we'd be out late. Do you wanna join me?" Really, he had to ask me that? Like I would ever say no to him.

"Of course I will join you, babe." That was the first time I ever called him anything other than Edward. The look on his face told me he liked it.

"Well, babe, let's go." Edward stressed the babe, probably to let me know that he noticed my own use of it.

Edward guided me towards the elevator; we traveled down, avoided the gift shop and went straight for the valet. Tonight was going to be amazing.

A/N: Would ya look at that? No cliffy! The trip to Seattle, was based on a trip I made a couple years ago, only we didn't have dinner at the Space Needle, we just went up for the view and we didn't buy any fish, and we stayed in a dump of a motel, lol. Please leave me a review, I enjoy them so much. Don't forget, I answer each one!
