This chapter will be split in two because it is so long so I'll have more up soon.
EPOV
Finally, Bella and I get some time alone. Tanya and her family really need a life, well except for the one couple in their coven. I think Bella did a very good job with her little act. If not, they would still be there and we would be about to pull our ever-loving hair out.
"Bella, could you please stop being so seductive? We'll be out of the sight of human eyes soon enough."
I had planned for us to be going to the family beach house, located in a very scenic location, to be alone. But you know Alice and Jasper wanted to come along and now we have a party!
"Edward, stop being so difficult! Alice and Jasper wanted a weekend away too. Stop giving them such a hard time."
"Sorry Bella, but do you know how much I want you right now?"
Oh no! I really am starting to sound like the horny teenager I am.
"Yes I do. And yes you are, now stop being difficult."
"Yes love, hey wait a minute! Could you stop reading my mind? Just for a moment?"
"Sorry, but sometimes it is nice to know what you're thinking."
"I wish I could say the same. Now tell me. What are you thinking?"
"Well actually…"
"Go on, I won't laugh."
"I was thinking about us making love in the same house my mom was in. That would just feel so wrong to me, like I'm invading her space."
"That is highly irrelevant, for one if we did I also would be feeling very awkward the next day. Then two, we can wait a little longer. We waited almost two years and didn't have sex, I think we can wait three days."
She giggled and I laughed right along side her.
"Edward, you are so sweet sometimes."
"I try."
Then she kissed me lightly on the lips.
"Edward can I ask something?"
"Sure love, what do you want to know?"
"Well, I was thinking about my little performance from today. Do you think we made a mistake by starting our family so young? I know we never planned on children, but still."
"No, I haven't regretted it yet. Most vampires would kill for the chance at having a family no matter how young they were. Why do you ask?"
"I'm sort of, contemplating the real consequences of having Elizabeth right after we got married, and this baby right after my transformation. I mean, haven't you ever wondered why we were the only vampire couple blessed enough to be able to even have children?"
"Yes, every time I see you and your round stomach, or Elizabeth running up to me I think about it. I'm thankful we are able to, Rose is awfully jealous of that fact though. She has always wanted a child that she could say she held and cared for when they were born."
Bella came up and I opened my arms and embraced her. I absentmindedly started rubbing her stomach.
"You know I never really thought of that. She always keeps so quiet most of the time. I wish she could have my ability. You know I wonder about something else?"
"And what pray tell is that love?"
"Well, I sort of wonder what happened to my human friends. You know? Angela and Ben both seemed so in love, just like you and me. I sort of wonder if they've gone off and gotten married and started their own families."
"We could always find out."
"And how pray tell is that?"
"We can always go to Mr. and Mrs. Webber's house and ask. Or are you too scared?"
"No, I'd love to go see! When can we do it?"
"Anytime you like love, I'm finished hunting when you are."
"I've been done for a while, I was just teasing you."
"That is pure evil, and I love you for it."
"Now Mr. Cullen, are you ready?"
"Yes I am Mrs. Cullen, how about you?"
"Ready as I'll ever be."
We hurried back to Bella's Volvo, and she drove off.
"Bella, you really are starting to adjust to being a Cullen you know?"
"Well duh. I've been one for almost half a year now. It really is about time."
I thought about that for a minute and let it go.
"Bella, have you thought about moving?"
"No, why?"
"Well, you remember back in September of last year, that I told you my dad was trying to pass for thirty-three right?"
"Vaguely, I try not to dwell to much on the aspect of your disappearance."
"Well, he told me that trying to pass for thirty-five is getting old and that it may be time to leave Forks."
"For good?"
"Well, we can come back whenever we want to. Or we can stay since we do have a residence here."
"I'd rather live with the family, though this home here would still be a great private home. Where were you thinking of moving?"
"We're trying to decide that actually. Do you have any suggestions?"
"Not really, but one thing is for sure and that is that I will not be living anywhere near Denali, Alaska."
"Well if we even moved to Alaska we couldn't risk having so many there, and I'm also with you. Tanya, Kate, and Irina are bad enough as it is."
"Good, well I want to stay in the country. Nowhere near Renée though because then she will constantly check in on us."
"We couldn't really live in Jacksonville, Florida because of the weather."
"I was just saying." "Well, let me see… where is a place with no sunshine but we will still be in the United States? Hmm… that is the question that haunts me so."
"Oh be quiet we can discuss it later, we're here."
Bella pulled me up the driveway swiftly and rang the doorbell. Mrs. Webber answered it.
"Why hello Bella! What brings you here?"
"Well, actually we were looking to see if you knew where Angela was. Do you know?"
"Of course, she is studying over at Ben's. They both decided to go to Forks Community College for the first couple of years. Do you want to see her? You know where Ben's is and I'm sure they would both enjoy seeing you two. Oh Edward, sorry! I forgot you were there."
"No problem Mrs. Webber."
"We'll be on our way. Tell Mr. Webber we said hello!"
"Oh I will. Bye now!"
Wow she was rather pregnant! They sure didn't wait long.
You have no idea…
We got back in the car and drove a couple more miles down to Ben Cheney's house. Bella did the same thing as last time, but Ben answered the door.
"Bella, Edward? Is that you two?"
"Yes Ben, are you and Angela busy?"
"We were just studying, would you like to come in and sit with us so we can catch up?"
"Sure, you okay with that Edward?"
I nodded my head.
"Well come on in, and Bella watch your step."
Wow, Bella looks fantastic! And incredibly pregnant.
Does everyone in Forks think that the fact Bella is pregnant is a big shock?
We walked upstairs, Ben leading the way, to his room. In there sat Angela in a long sleeve blue and white striped shirt and jeans with a book in her hands.
"Angela, look whose here!"
She looked up and saw us and her face lit up.
"Bella! Edward! Oh my gosh, how are you two?"
"We're quite fine, and you?"
"I'm doing better now that you two are here! We have so much to catch up on! Like where have you two been the past year?"
"At the Cullen mansion. After the wedding I moved in with them."
"And Bella, don't tell my you're pregnant?"
"Yes, about a month. But this is our second child."
Both Angela's and Ben's jaws dropped simultaneously.
"You're kidding? You're both already parents?"
"No, we had a little girl two months after the wedding."
"But you didn't look or act pregnant at the wedding."
"Because I wasn't, I got pregnant on our honeymoon. Edward and I stayed virgins until after we were married. Somehow our little girl was born very healthy after only two months of my pregnancy."
"Oh my gosh Bella I'm so happy for you two! What is her name?"
"Well, we named her after both of our mothers. So, her name is Elizabeth Renée Cullen."
"Oh how sweet! And do you know about this baby yet?"
"No, we accidentally found out about our first one and want to keep this one a surprise. I think it is a girl, but Edward over there thinks it's a boy."
"That sounds about right, but what do you hope for?"
What is that supposed to mean? I just think it is a boy. No big deal about that I thought.
"I kind of want a boy, just for a change."
"Oh you have got to bring your daughter over here!"
"Would you like to meet her, we can get Alice to bring her over?"
"Oh yes! But let's go to your house and finish."
"Edward, can they come over?"
"Um, sure. But we'd better give Alice a heads up."
"Oh, fine! Ange, give me a minute to call her."
"Okay, let me call my mom too to tell her where we are. Leave a note for your parents too Ben."
"Hello? Alice! Um, we just wanted to call and ask if it's okay for Ben and Angela to come over to our house. Is it? Okay, we'll make sure to stay out of Elizabeth's nursery today but make sure Elizabeth can come out. Okay thanks, bye. She said it was okay just as long as we stayed out of Elizabeth's room today because she has something in there that we can't see."
"Okay, my mom said it was fine and Ben is leaving a note now come on!"
Bella directed the way to her car and we all climbed in.
"Wow Bella this is a nice car. But I thought you didn't want a new car."
"I didn't, but Edward got me this and a van for Christmas."
Bella gave me a menacing look and I pleaded with her.
Bella, I know we're always together and there was no need but what if there were an emergency? See there, I got you!
I smiled triumphantly while getting odd glances from the backseat.
"So Ben, Angela… you decided to stay in Forks a little longer?"
"Yes, um Angela said she wanted to stay closer to her family rather than move half-way across the country. And you two also decided to stay in Forks?"
"Well, after Bella found out she was pregnant we decided to stay here a little longer and let her not be so stressed out. So she actually gave a home birth, because her water broke on our ride home from a restaurant."
"Are you serious? Angela, if we ever get pregnant I so don't want that to happen. I guess you two are lucky that your father is a doctor."
"Yes very. If not it may have been a little worse because it only took a couple of hours for her to be born."
"So, other than college what have you two been up to?"
"Well, this is supposed to be kept secret for now, but we're planning on getting married pretty soon."
"You two are eloping?"
"Yes, because our parents don't want us getting married as young as you two. And after seeing you today Bella, my mom is on hyper alert. She told me if I got pregnant before I got out of college then I would be forcibly thrown out of the house."
"Are you serious, was that before or after seeing me?"
"Oh, very much before seeing you. She told me that when I was like fifteen."
"Oh, my dad was seriously contemplating killing Edward when he found out. My mom still isn't too happy about it either. They accepted this pregnancy a little easier though. Yeah Edward, what was it you told me my dad said on his way out the door?"
"I strictly and vividly remember your dad saying 'Wouldn't be sick if you'd have both kept your pants on.'"
Angela and Ben started laughing when we pulled up.
"Wow, that sounds about how one of our parents would react."
We walked inside and I couldn't believe my eyes…
I'm upset right now! We got only enough snow to cover our cars. And that was all ice! Well anyway, I'm writing more now so it won't be cliffy for long. And has anyone else noticed that I'm writing everyone in Forks either getting pregnant or married? I know I'm telling myself that but I just noticed. Anyway, I'll be back soon! ;-)
Edward's ONLY True Love ;-)
