BPOV

The house had changed since the last time we had been here. The walls were painted a deep lavender with a full living room set in an off white color. Everything had been rearranged and it looked fantastic. But the thing that surprised me most was the cascading stairs leading upwards to the second floor.

"Wow mom! This place looks fantastic!"

"We just finished remodeling, we also added a few extra bedrooms. Phil's job is paying much better than we expected."

This house is much bigger than last time.

"Mrs. Dwyer, this place looks absolutely breath-taking."

"Please, call me Renée. And it could never live up to the standards your mother set for her home."

I smiled, "Well mom… When will we be able to go outside?"

"Will Edward be joining us this time?"

"Yes."

"Well, the clouds will be overhead for the next few days, but it should be nice enough to go out."

"Liz here is dying to go out and play. So will we be able to now?"

"Sure, but let's eat lunch first."

"Sure. May I speak with you for a minute privately Edward?"

"Yes love."

We stepped into the kitchen and I began.

"Edward, how are we going to eat? I know vampires don't eat normal food."

"Well, if we have to eat…"

"I'll see what I can do."

"You probably don't want to know how we have to dispose of the human food."

"I figured so when you hesitated."

We walked back into the living room where my mom was talking to Liz.

"…oh daddy told you that?"

Oh crap! Bella what are we going to do?

"Good question."

"Oh Bella, we were just talking about the ride you took from the house to the airport."

She gave Edward a death glare, which looked much like my own.

"Oh, and what was that about?"

"Well Elizabeth told me Edward gave her his own version of the talk. Is that true?"

"Yes, but she asked. Bella and I were giving each other chaste looks and Liz there is very perceptive."

"Well, I hope it doesn't happen again. So, other than that mishap how has it been? Come sit down so we can catch up."

"Well, on the plane the baby kicked for the first time."

"Yes, and mommy said it hurt a wot."

My mom gasped, "Bella really? You're what a month pregnant? If so I think you should go see a doctor as soon as you can."

"Yes mom, and if you remember I develop much quicker than most. And my dad is giving me my first ultrasound as soon as we come back."

"Dad?"

"Oh sorry, that sounds confusing. Carlisle, Edward's father will be doing it. I just forgot."

"That still doesn't sound normal, baby's parts don't start developing until they are a little more mature."

"Like I said, I develop quickly. But mom, I do have to say I'm not going to be very hungry for the next few days. It's just this weird pregnancy thing. I know it sounds backwards, but I'm not normal."

"Okay honey, I know how backwards you can be!"

Edward nudged me and gave me a pleading look. I whispered in his ear, "Just do it for me love. I'll make it up to you."

"I don't know if you'll want to do that right after we eat."

I'll explain later.

I followed my mom and Phil back into the car and buckled Elizabeth into the car seat. I then climbed into the seat next to Edward.

"So, what have you two been up to lately?"

"Well, just yesterday I met up with my best friend from Forks and her fiancé."

"Oh really? Who was it? Jess, Ange?"

"Angela, she and Ben are getting married when we get back from the beach."

"You mean they're getting married in three days?"

"No, we're going to the coast of North Carolina and then back home."

My mom's jaw dropped.

"North Carolina? I didn't know you liked it in the south?"

"Edward's mother and father wanted a beach house, and didn't want it in California. And they also said North Carolina is really nice and warm."

"Oh, well that is nice. I remember when you and I visited there… you were still really little. I think you were four. It was magnificent there, and really sunny. Especially in the eastern part. Really down home, southern comfort type stuff."

"Mommy, why can't I go?"

Edward nudged me, which told me she wanted to know why she couldn't go.

"Bella, aren't you going to bring Elizabeth?"

"Edward, Alice, Jasper, and I were going to go by ourselves. Rose, Emmett, Carlisle, and Esme are all staying behind and spending time with her. Us couples wanted some alone time."

My mom's eyes went wide and I realized what she took that as. Though, I knew a little of that was going to inevitably happen with both parties.

"Let me clarify. By alone time, I mean we just need some time to be alone as a couple. I never realized children didn't give you much time alone with the one you love."

I sighed with relief and then Edward gave me a pleading look.

Is that how you really feel? That is so sweet. And please tell me you won't hold your grudge for long. I don't know how much of your seductiveness my member can take.

I giggled as we pulled up to the restaurant. Edward unbuckled Liz, who jumped out of the car, and then helped me out. We walked into the restaurant and were seated. The waiter was very overfriendly and really liked me. I ordered a water, and Edward did the same. I laughed in response to the waiter's look. He looked at me with what he probably thought was a seductive look, but really looked kind of like a grimace, and then Edward hissed at him quietly and spooked him. He must have been thinking some very inappropriate thoughts, which means Liz probably heard too.

"So mom, how are things with you and Phil going?"

Phil answered for her, "She and I are getting along very well."

He pecked her on the lips and my automatic gag reflex kicked in.

"Excuse me for a moment, I'm going to the bathroom."

I went into a stall and locked it, and heaved.

This baby loves to torture me doesn't it?

I heard a knock on the stall and my mother's weary voice.

"Bella, honey, are you okay?"

"Yes, it's nothing I'm not already accustomed to by now."

"Oh, morning sickness! That stuff is the worst. Are you sure you're okay? Edward is worried sick out there."

"Yeah, give me a minute."

I unlocked the door went over to the sink, and washed my face off with some cool water. I walked out alongside my mom and walked over to Edward and whispered sweetly in his ear.

"That worried about me?"

You know how awful I feel when you get sick.

That was when the food arrived. My mom kept offering Edward and I food, as we both declined, saying it was jet lag and it was affecting our appetite. The waiter brought us our bill with one last pleading look, which I returned with a wink that sent him melting and Edward growled again.

Being a little flirty today?

"Edward, he has been hitting on me since we got here. I just wanted to give him a little wink," and then I whispered in his ear, "and when you squeezed my butt he really didn't appreciate it. I could tell by that look."

I wanted to let him know you were mine.

"Edward, I'm pregnant with our second child. Do you really think I'm going to fall into the arms of someone I met at a restaurant?"

"Well, no. But you were being awfully flirtatious."

I gave him a quick peck on the mouth, right before my mom could object to it.

"Now you two, we have to set a ground rule. That is, nothing more than a quick kiss goes on in the house. Is that understood?"

"Yes mom, we aren't the horny teenagers we may appear to be."

"Bella, how dare you talk like that? Well, that is what we ask. We don't want any of that going on in our house. We'll show you to your rooms and you can get changed for the beach. That all right with everyone?"

"Yes, Liz are you ready?"

"Yes mommy! I wanna go now!"

We pulled up to the house and my mom led us up the stairs.

"Bella, Edward, your room is right here. Elizabeth's is right across the hall. Our room is a few doors down. The bathroom is right next-door. If you guys need anything, just call either Phil or me. Bella, if you need something for that morning sickness I've got something. Just going to tell you. Now get changed, we'll head down to the beach in a few minutes."

"Thanks mom. I won't need any, it was just some freaky type of thing."

"Okay, we'll be down the hall if you need something."

I pulled Liz into Edward's and my bathroom so I could get her into her swimwear. Edward tickled her though, which restricted the process.

"Edward, either help me get her in it, or go into the bathroom and change into your own."

"I'll help, Liz can you hold still for daddy?"

She stopped after that and I got it on her. It was really cute on her. It was a sea blue top with a little green and sea blue striped overskirt that overlapped the green baby underwear.

"Liz that looks adorable on you! Now can you go to your room real quickly so mommy and daddy can change?"

"Yes mommy."

She toddled out of our room and I smiled. For a baby, she really was much more advanced than you would expect. She looks so small, but she is really very smart. I began to get dressed in my swimsuit and Edward watched.

"Enjoying the view?"

"Yes, very much so."

I pulled the top on and told him, "If you're coming with us get dressed."

I took a look in the mirror and gazed at what was supposed to be my reflection. My swimsuit was orange, white, navy, pale yellow, and pale blue striped with orange bottoms and a striped belt. Alice had insisted it also be maternity swimwear. Which it actually accentuated that fact and actually looked good. Edward undressed and pulled on his swim trunks. They were plain and black, but they looked good on him. I purred and he noticed.

"Enjoying your view as well I see."

"When you have a husband like mine, you can't help it."

He gave me my favorite crooked grin and I started laughing.

"Edward come on, my mom will think we're disobeying her rules if we stay up here like this too much longer. Now come along."

"All right dear, but wait a minute before you open that door."

"W-"

His lips cut me off and he drove me into a passionate kiss. My hands tangled into his hair and he gently pulled me away.

"Sorry Bella, I needed a kiss before I went insane."

I pulled on a white halter-top cover up over my swimsuit and Edward scoffed.

"Bella, you really are too modest."

I giggled, "Edward, I'm not as self-confident as I may appear to be. I hate being the center of attention."

"You really don't succeed. You are the center focus of my attention."

"Edward that would be because you are totally in love with me."

"You obviously haven't heard some of the things human males like to say about you."

"I really don't want to know. I'd rather it be a surprise!"

He mock laughed at me and I pulled him out the door and went to Liz's room and gathered her up in my arms. Renée and Phil were waiting downstairs on the sofa making googly eyes at each other, which again set off my gag reflex and I ran back upstairs to heave. I set Liz down and ran to the toilet. I felt Edward come and pull my hair out of my face.

"Bella, are you okay? Your morning sickness used to be on a more definite schedule. What's up?"

I went over to the sink and washed my face again.

"I think it has something to do with the fact that Phil and my mom are acting like teenagers again. I'm just not used to it, and it is making me sick. I want to ask them to stop, but that would be rude. It would be like her asking you not to kiss me. Which she did, to a certain extent."

"I'll ask her for you love, I don't like it when you're sick."

I gave him a thankful smile and gathered Liz up again.

"I'm sorry sweetie, mommy isn't feeling too well today."

My mom looked up and saw us come down.

"It took you three long enough."

"Renée, I need to speak to you and Phil a moment. It seems Bella is having a bit more than morning sickness. We started downstairs a few minutes ago and you and Phil were giving each other very promiscuous looks at the time. And apparently Bella can't handle your affection very well. If you'll recall we have two scenes from today, which justify this. That would be just a few minutes ago, and today at lunch when you kissed Renée, Bella got very sick. I'd just like to ask of you that if you are to enforce these rules, you too should abide by them."

"They have a good point dear, if you and I are going to enforce the rule we should abide by it as well."

"We're not trying to be pushy mom, but unless you want me to be sick the entire time I would suggest that you listen."

My mom sighed and agreed.

"Bella, I guess you do know what is best for your health. You need to be as healthy as possible."

"Thanks mom, and Edward and I will abide the rule as well. Now come on, Liz will pull my arm off in a minute if we don't come on!"

I got pulled outside and we ran towards the beach. It was cloudy overhead and I smiled.

At least I don't have to stay inside.

Edward came up behind me and sat on the sand.

"Edward, don't sneak up on me. You scared me!"

"It's easy to do love."

I heard my mom and Phil whispering behind us.

"They are so in love, it is so sweet Renée."

"I know honey, I sometimes wish you and I could be that young again."

"Sweet, don't say that. I love you just the age you are."

"I know, we can kiss later, behind closed doors. I know they're probably kissing behind our backs."

"They're only nineteen. What do you expect them to do?"

"That's true, come on, we need to catch up."

I sat on the sand next to Edward and he put his arms around my shoulders. He pecked my mouth and I pulled myself up, bringing him with me.

"Come on, let's go play."

I jogged up to where Elizabeth had toddled over to and picked her up.

"Would you like to go swimming?"

"Yes!"

Edward held one hand and I held the other one and we swung her over the waves.

"Be careful honey. Don't drop her."

"I won't mom, we're being careful."

Edward threw her up and caught her then and we jogged back up to shore. I sat on a beach towel and started making a sand castle.

"Come here baby, we'll make a sandcastle."

Edward came over with her and we made a small castle. Then the tide started coming up and washed it away.

"Bella, Liz, Edward, its time to go. The sun is setting."

"Okay, come on love."

I gathered up a towel and wrapped it around my middle. Edward picked Elizabeth up and we walked up to where my mom and Phil were.

"Did you three have fun?"

"Yes, it's been a while since I've really played like that. Liz, did you have fun?"

"Can we go back tomowow?"

"We'll see, we have two more days to play."

"Otay."

We walked back up the drive and ran up to our room.

"Bella, you three take a shower and meet us back downstairs in an hour. We'll eat supper then."

"Got it, see you in a few."

We walked into our room and sat Liz on a towel in the middle of the floor.

"Okay Liz, you're first in line for a bath."

"Mommy, will you and daddy take a shower togever?"

"No honey, we can't do stuff like that here. Now let's get you undressed and into the bathroom."

Edward undressed her and I wrapped her in the towel and carried her into the tub. Edward brought me her shampoo and I washed her and her hair.

"Okay Liz, you're finished. Now Edward, can you get her dressed while I shower?"

"Yes love, mission possible."

I laughed and pecked him on the cheek. I stripped out of my suit and took a long shower. It had been quite a while since I'd showered alone. I pulled a towel out of the cabinet and wrapped it around me. I walked into our bedroom to see Edward had laid out some clothes for me. But he was still trying to get Liz dressed.

"Edward, go get a shower. I'll handle this."

"Thank you, she just won't stay still."

I pulled my clothes on quickly and sat Liz on our bed. I put on a clean diaper and put her in a new outfit.

"Your aunt Alice sure does like to spend a lot of money on you."

Edward walked into the room shortly and gave me an incredulous look.

"How did you do that so quickly?"

"Years of babysitting, and a lot of patience."

"Well I guess practice does help."

"Yes it does, I'm going downstairs. I'll see you in a few."

Edward hurried down after I said that and we ate dinner.

"Bella, are you hungry?"

"No, but thank you anyway."

"Edward?"

"I'm not hungry either."

"You two haven't eaten anything at all. Are you sure you're okay?"

They continued on eating though and were finished quickly. I helped clear the dishes and wash them.

"Since when did you become so responsible mom?"

"I guess love does that to you."

I gagged silently and tried again, "So you and Phil are really in love. How is his baseball going?"

"Pretty well, we won't be moving anytime soon. Oh, and speaking of moving, are you three going to move out of the Cullen's house?"

"We hadn't planned on it, why?"

"Well, you and Edward have started a family and I don't want you bombarding them."

"They have no problem with it. They love having Edward and I in the house. And also, none of the Cullen women are able to have children and love Liz. If we moved out, well I don't want to think about it."

"Bella, that may be true, but if you have a big family… which seeing how you and Edward act, that may just happen… well I don't want them looking after your children. I mean, what if you go off to college? Who will keep up with Elizabeth and this baby?"

"Mom, could you please call her Liz? She doesn't really like her full name being used."

"I see she follows in her mother's footsteps."

I smiled, "Well I guess so. Now please mom, can we drop this?"

"Fine, Phil and I are going to get to bed quickly tonight."

"Okay, we'll keep quiet."

"Goodnight Bella."

"Night mom."

She kissed my cheek and she and Phil walked hand-in-hand up to their room. I walked into the living room and I whispered in Edward's ear, "Are those two planning something inappropriate? If they are we need Liz in bed soon so she won't hear anything."

"Well, I could tell Phil was wiped… but Renée certainly felt in the mood for something more than sleeping."

I gagged again and picked Liz up.

"Come on Liz, it's bedtime."

She yawned against her own will before she could fight back. I carried her up the stairs with Edward right behind me.

"Night Liz, we'll play some more tomorrow."

She yawned again and I giggled. I kissed her nose and Edward did the same. We closed the door to her room and headed to our room. We heard faint giggles coming from my mom and step dad's room.

"Edward, is there someway we can turn off the vampire hearing? I so don't want to hear that."

"Nope, sorry love. But just imagine what I have to go through with the mind reading."

"Ooh, ouch, guess I should be thankful the only mind I can read is my own personal sex idol's."

"Is that how you think of me really?"

"Why yes my dear, now let's get to bed."

"Well, you can get to bed. I get to watch you."

We walked in the room and I got into a more concealed nightgown, while Edward changed into a pair of sleeper pants.

"You know you look sexy love, even when you aren't trying to be?"

My smile lit up and he kissed me deeply.

"Edward, I love you."

"I love you too love."

I kissed him and he pulled back.

"I only have so much self-control, and the way you just lay against me is killing me."

I kissed him again, and this time he didn't pull back. I pulled back and he moved to my neck.

"Edward, I need to sleep. And plus, my back is killing me."

He began rubbing my back and I instantly fell asleep. The last thing I remember was he kissed my jaw and said, "I love you."

Okay, so I'm sorry this chapter took so long. But it is the longest chapter I've ever written so be happy! It is ten pages and over three thousand words. I'm glad to hear everyone enjoyed the last chapter. I didn't think I did well, but you all thought otherwise. Okay, now in parts of this chapter I started getting really fluffy and cheesy. And I'll tell you why. I just got new music for my mp3 player and the three songs that got me all mushy were: Broken- by Seether featuring Amy Lee, S.O.S.-The Jonas Brothers, and When You Look Me In The Eyes- The Jonas Brothers. Now don't ask how S.O.S. did that, it just did. The other two I highly suggest if you've never heard them do listen to them. Another reason is I've been reading some really mushy fanfiction, which is never a bad thing. They are 'The Perfect Day' by nothingleft, and 'The Curse Of The Smiley' by hellopants. I suggest you check those out too. Okay, so I'm almost done with my rant now. I couldn't really effectivley explain Bella's, Liz's, and Edward's suits/coverup. So, with that being said I'm going to put the pictures of them up on my profile page. I suggest you go check them out, they are really pretty and cute! Okay, now after all of my ranting and suggestions... I am done.

Edward's ONLY True Love ;-)
