BPOV
I woke up the next morning in my love's arms, snuggled against his chest.
"Good morning sunshine. How did you sleep?"
"Very well actually, I finally tuned out the background noises."
"It got a little rowdy last night yes, and woke Liz up."
"You're kidding?"
"No, I left you and your sleep talking for a few minutes because she started whimpering. She said she kept hearing stuff and wanted it to stop. A little bit later, after I hummed your lullaby for her she went to sleep instantly."
"You are the best! I wish I could have stayed awake a little longer, but it sounds like it was a rough night for everybody…"
"Please don't go there love, it was disturbing enough hearing it. And don't bring it up either, now if we sneak downstairs right now and scrounge in the kitchen we can pretend we ate. Then your mom will stop bugging us."
"All right, come on."
He pulled me up from the bed and carried me downstairs.
"You know I can walk right?"
"Well, it's really more fun to carry you."
He sheepishly grinned at me and I grinned.
"I can't stay mad at you long."
I shook my head and he pecked my cheek. We scrounged in the kitchen and dirtied up some bowls and plates. That is when Phil and my mom came down, in robes, still very exhausted looking.
"You two are up early, have you woken Eli-, I mean Liz up yet?"
"No, she is still asleep. We'll wake her up a little later."
"Okay, well it seems you've already eaten."
"Yeah, we're going back up to our room for a while."
"Okay honey, be down soon though. I've got another big day planned for us."
We ran upstairs and crashed on the bed.
"So what has she got planned for us today?"
"Well, I know she is taking us back to the beach. And she is going to be concerned about you all day. But you know that's a given."
I rolled my eyes, "Well other than that, what are we doing?"
"Nothing so far. She is still excruciatingly happy from last night."
I involuntarily shuddered, "Can we please not relive that very disturbing part of last night?"
"Sure love, now can I ask a question?"
I nodded to him, "Well love, you know we have a no sexual contact policy under the roof of this home right?"
"Yes, and?"
"Well, you aren't mad at me anymore are you?"
"Oh, I'm still upset about it. But no, I'm not mad anymore. Why?"
"Well, Alice and Jasper have both told me if I upset you there would be no physical contact between us for about seven more months."
"Oh, don't worry. I've talked to my sister and brother. They are very aware that you have the raging hormones of a thirteen year old boy who just got a new issue of Playboy."
"Oh ha ha, really funny. Is that really how you feel about me though?"
"No silly. You have perfectly raging hormones that make you all the more sexy beyond belief."
He swooned and I giggled. Then Phil entered the room.
"What's so funny in here?"
He grinned and I answered, still giggling, "Edward was being incredibly funny."
"Oh, okay. Well Liz needs to wake up in a few, and you two need to get dressed."
"Thanks Phil, we'll start getting ready."
I rolled over off of the bed and Edward chuckled.
"Need some help?"
"No, I'm perfectly fine. Go ahead and get dressed. I'll get Liz."
He swiftly got out of bed and gave me a hand.
"Thank you, would you like to help me?"
"I thought you'd never ask."
He pecked my lips and we walked to her room.
"Wake up sleeping beauty. We've got a big day planned."
She whimpered and I picked her up.
"Come on, we have to get dressed."
I put her on the changing table my mom had set up and changed her diaper while Edward picked a few clothes up to put on her. He put on her clothes and we carried her downstairs and gave her to my mom.
"We need to get dressed, we'll be down in a few."
I ran upstairs with Edward close behind me. He had already laid out both our clothes to where all we had to do was slip them on. Which he thoroughly enjoyed, that way he had time to kiss me before my mom started to get mad. We laid on the bed and made out and heard a knock.
"Come on you two, it doesn't take that long for two people to get dressed."
"Sorry mom, we just had a hard time deciding what to wear."
"Well come on, you have to be dressed by now."
We climbed out of bed and straightened our clothes, then laughed at how that looked. We stepped outside and saw Liz whimpering again.
"She won't stop. I've tried everything, maybe she'll calm down if she sees mommy and daddy."
She passed her to Edward and she immediately calmed down.
"Wow, you must have the magic touch Edward."
"So I've been told…"
I giggled and we made our way back downstairs.
"Phil left early today because he had practice. He'll be back tonight."
I sighed mentally with relief. He was nice, but sometimes he made me uncomfortable.
"Okay, so what are we doing today mom?"
"Well, later this afternoon we'll be going to the beach. This morning we're going to stroll around Jacksonville a little. But it's still overcast, so it won't be as cheery as it normally is."
I looked up at the sky and smiled, "It's okay mom. I like it, even when it is overcast."
Nice one, you really can think on your feet.
We walked around town a few minutes and then Liz began crying again.
"Is there something wrong Liz?"
Edward whispered in my ear, too low for anyone to hear, "She is just upset today. I'm not sure why right now but it has something to do with you and the baby."
"Oh, okay. Well I don't know what could be causing the problem. I've been really sweet and nice, I haven't given her the brunt of my pregnancy hormones… what could be up?"
"I don't know love, now shush or your mom will get involved."
"So mom, where to now?"
"Would you like some ice cream?"
"I'm not in the mood, but how about you Liz?"
She buried her head into Edward's shoulder.
"Hold on mom, Liz is a little temperamental right now. I'll be right back. Come on Edward. We'll meet you at the ice cream shop."
"Okay, see you soon."
We walked off to a more secluded area and sat down.
"Liz, what's up? Did I do something to you?"
"No, duh baby said mean tings to me."
"Huh? What do you mean baby?"
"Daddy, the baby towd me that mommy wuved it more."
"That isn't true, I don't see though how the baby was talking to you."
"Liz and this baby may have some kind of twin telepathy thing. I wouldn't doubt it. Anything is possible when two vampire parents mate."
I giggled and he caught me in a hug.
"I'm sorry honey, just control your temper. If grandma sees you this way it is bad. Okay?"
"I will mommy. Now can I hab ice cweam?"
I picked her up off the ground and got a few sidelong glances. I wanted to yell 'Do you have a flipping problem with a woman caring for her child?' But unfortunately I can't so I just went on about my business. We met up with my mom at the ice cream shop and got some of it. We left after a while and I took a nap. When I woke up the sun had gone down.
"Nice nap?" I yawned and stretched.
"Yes, a very good one. What time is it?"
"About five. You've been asleep for a while. We're going to the beach now. Do you want to come?"
"Yes, I'll be up in a second."
I got up and we started off. I didn't want to swim tonight so I just sat on the sand and gazed at the stars…
Okay, so I've been busy for the past couple days and haven't updated. Sorry about that. Oh and I wanted you all to know I'm starting my own original story on FictionPress. I can't post anything yet, but I will. And I'm upset about not getting many reviews with my last chapter. So now I shall punish you! Just kidding!
Edward's ONLY True Love ;-)
