I've been crying writing these last few chapters, becuase this is one of my babies, and when I entered the NaughtyHeels contest, I never imagined the response and the love I've gotten over both sites. Not to mention that you've actually pushed past "Dance with Me" to make this my most read and reviewed story up here. But more on that in the final note. One last picture to be posted below and the epi will be following this soon.
Thanks to the NaughtyHeels bunch and Patti996 and A Cullen Wannabe who beta my other stuff so I have the time to pump this baby out!

Heading back to work after three months of being home with my daughter was hard. The only comfort was the fact that I worked from home so I didn't actually have to leave her. Edward was just starting classes and my birthday was next week, the big 25, which I knew Edward was scheming about. I was never a big one for celebrating myself, but Edward would probably never listen if I told him to stop whatever he was thinking.
I was busy with my article on local parks and their festivals for the end of summer when Edward came home from his first day of classes with a smile on his face. "Baby, shit, I love being back home. I'm glad you agreed to move back before work and school got in the way."
"Me too, it is nice to be home."
I put down my laptop and Edward sat next to me pulling me into his lap as his lips attached to my neck. "I missed this. My parents are like ninjas and your mom was almost as bad."
I laughed remembering all the make out sessions she interrupted. "Don't worry; the only person who can interrupt us is sound asleep in the other room."
Edward's lips curled up into a crooked smile as he found my lips and ran his hands up to my breasts and I let out a hiss. "Baby?"
"Our daughter's really doing a number on these bad boys."
"I'll remember to be gentler." He got an odd look in his eye as he said it that instantly made me curious.
"What's with that look?"
"What look?"
His eyes glinted and I laughed. "That look, right there!"
"It's nothing."
He blushed…Edward Cullen actually blushed! "Edward."
"It's just that I watch you feed Billie and see how happy she gets and I wonder what it tastes like?"
My jaw dropped and he pulled away. "Edward, why didn't you say something?"
"What do you mean?"
He was still confused so I decided to help him. I unbuttoned my shirt and then went for the flap in my bra. Edward's eyes bugged out and I brushed my hand across his cheek, pulling him to me. "Bon Appétit."
"You're sure?" I nodded and Edward moved his lips to my chest. He suckled at my swollen breast for a minute before Billie's spidey sense kicked in and she woke up screaming for her own lunch.
Edward got her while I switched breasts and she attached to my nipple. Edward watched with that same glint in his eyes he'd had before and I was smiling at him. "How'd you like it?"
Edward's grin was so big I had to laugh. "That was by far the hottest thing I've ever done! You're unbelievable."
"And you're my wet dream come true." I mouthed to him, earning a husky groan.
We sat around joking until I started to nod off and Edward took Billie so I could nap.

I had been plotting and planning for Bella's birthday, but I had no idea. Where do you take someone whose job is to find out the coolest places in the city for her birthday? I knew I wanted us to go somewhere without Billie, which meant we couldn't do too much, but I really didn't know what to plan, then I talked to Alice.
Evidently, there was something that Bella had wanted to do and had never been able to talk someone into, so I dove on it.
Bella was getting ready; I had told her not to dress up too much because I wanted her to be comfortable. When she came out in the black and white, 'in rock and love we trust' shirt I smiled and took her hand, leading her to the car while my mom and dad fawned over the grandbaby at our place.
We started out with dinner at Sky City, the restaurant in the Space Needle, because I knew it was one of her favorites and I wanted to make this special. I was nervous as there was a certain little box in my jacket pocket, but I hadn't thought about my proposal. I knew I wanted to speak from the heart and that I'd know the exact moment, but I didn't want to rush it, so I was simply being prepared at this point.
During the course of dinner Bella looked between the view and me and at one point she let out a contented sigh. "I want to thank you for not going overboard and planning some huge party or anything. I hate being the center of any type of spectacle and I was so scared you'd propose during dinner or something…"
Everything she said in the next minute or so was lost as my world collapsed. I knew she loved me, but to hear she was glad I wasn't proposing made me a little ill. I shook it off as best as I could and then got back into the conversation. Bella called my parents twice during dinner to check on the baby and as we rode the long ride back to the ground I was still thinking about her statement.
We drove over to the theater where my big surprise was and Bella lit up as soon as she knew where we were. I walked her to the door where I paid for us both and we both had our foreheads marked with a "V" and then were led in.
Bella was giddy that I had brought her to "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and was willing to live through the embarrassment that went along with it.
For the next 3 hours we were subjected to the 'Virgin Dance' watched the 'Underwear Run' and threw various items from toilet paper to rice at the screen and the other people, all while laughing and stealing kisses. When it was finally over, Bella and I walked out to the car and we drove back home.
"Thank you Edward, that was an awesome birthday. You totally got my mind off the fact that I'm an old woman now."
"You are old…decrepit almost." I teased as she smacked my arm.
"You shouldn't tease the woman who makes little Eddie jump for joy." She half-threatened as I ran my hand up her thigh.
"You'd think I'd know that by now?"
We both laughed as I pulled up to our building and we went up to our apartment. My parents wished Bella a happy birthday before she went to the bathroom and gasped, letting me know she'd found the gift I'd asked my mom to sit on the bathroom counter after we left.
She ran out and kissed me. "Oh my God, that basket of bath soaps was perfect."
"I thought you'd like to relax."
We went into the bedroom to go to sleep, but Billie started screaming and Bella went to check on her.
I was waiting in the bedroom, looking down at the ring in abject horror. She'd made the comment so lightly, but it left me seriously worried. She hated big productions, but did proposing fall under that category? I hadn't been planning anything huge at dinner and now that we'd made it through the pregnancy and grown so much closer I hoped she'd know it was her and not just some sense of duty driving the decision.
I wanted to do it right and I knew it felt right every time I saw her with our daughter. I heard the cries quiet so I decided to check on them.
Billie was back in her crib and Bella was sitting on the rocking chair with her feet up. As I walked in she parted her legs and motioned for me to sit in front of her. "Edward, are you okay, you seem really tense?"
"I'm fine, I was just worried you wouldn't like the date, that's why I picked the early show, I knew that you wouldn't want to stay out until three am."
Bella's hands began massaging my muscles and I let my head drop forward at the feeling of her hands on me. "Edward, I loved the date, and your gift was so thoughtful, but that isn't surprising."
The ring sat in my pants pocket, now free of the box and this felt right, the two of us together, just being, I couldn't hold it in anymore. Bella worked on my muscles and finally I sat up between her legs on the chair, her hands working through my hair, helping to ease my nerves.
"Baby, you know how much I love you, right?"
Bella's hands stopped and wrapped around my waist. "Of course I do!"
"I just don't feel lit I say it enough, but I do." I started playing with her hands and saw the ring she was wearing on her ring finger and took advantage. I slid it off her hand and began playing with it as I continued talking. "I know we've only known each other a year, but I honestly can't imagine my live without you." I replaced her ring with the simple solitaire I had bought her as I continued with my rambling proposal. "We've been through so much, but I would go through it all again if it meant that I got to keep you and Billie, because you're what I want for the rest of my life."
Bella's hands stilled in my lap and she leaned her head against my back. "Are you asking me something?"
"I'm asking you everything." She pulled her hands back through my arms and gasped as I turned to face her. "Marry me." It wasn't a question; it was the pleading of a desperate man.
"Yes." Our lips crashed together and soon we were shedding clothes. Once I was naked, Bella took the blanket off the top of the rocker and laid it out. "Sit down, I want to try something."
I did as she asked and watched as she carefully laced her legs through the arms of the chair so she was standing on the ground, straddling the chair. She lowered herself over me and then placed her hands on either side of my head, holding the top of the chair. Then she started rocking.
Alternating between rocking with it and feeling the extra momentum and going against the rocking so I nearly came out of her before slamming down and filling her again, she was driving me wild as we had the added turn on of trying to be quiet and not wake the baby. Bella looked radiant as she rode me hard, the only thing that made it better was the occasional light catching her ring, reminding me that she was mine forever.
I grabbed her hips, pulling her forcefully to me as I felt her start to tighten. "Tell me…tell me we're going to spend the rest of our lives like this."
"Fucking like rabbits in inappropriate places?" Bella teased and I slapped her ass for good measure.
"No, not being afraid to try new things, or tell the other what we're thinking…I want you…to come to me…if you want to try something wild."
"I'll always cum with you."
We both laughed and I looked up at her. "I'm serious."
"I know. I promise, we have to be honest…oh fuck I'm gonna cum. Say it for me?"
I chuckled, the fact that she loved the most random and dirty thing I ever said cracked me up. Something about my laughter and our movements must have done something for her because she clamped down and began writhing in ecstasy above me, her feet lifting off the ground as I exploded inside her. "That's it baby, milk my cock."
As soon as the words left my mouth she kissed me riding out her orgasm while we gripped each other and then collapsed in the chair. Bella struggled to get her legs out of the chair and then sat on my lap. "I love you, Edward. Thank you for this past year. I never knew I could be this happy."
"The pleasure is mine, Baby. And next year is going to be even better, I promise."
