Disclaimer: We do not own Twilight. But I am so excited that the movie is coming out THIS MONTH! Mhm…of course I'll get to see it an hour before you because of the time difference. Must you ruin all my fun? Lol…I'm sorry babe.
To the TGIF Gang. May the force be with you…and the shwartz be with you as well.
I would like to dedicate this chapter to jeninferalycexo for saying that if this story had a penis, she'd have sex with it. To tiffany who suggested wed dress up as a doctor and naughty nurse for Halloween. To Jessica Supercali…I'm so sorry to hear about your grandpa.
I want to wish everyone a very Happy Halloween…I hope it was good for you guys and college you were at didn't start on fire at two in the morning like it did when I went to visit my friend at UWM. And I also hope when you texted your boyfriend about having to evacuate a building that was (thought to be) on fire, his response wasn't "shhhh….sleep." LOL! Hey… in defense, I was ASLEEP!
So because of Halloween and my best friend's birthday, not to mention Hayd (babe) having to work, this is late. We do apologize and I did work hard to get my last BPOV done on Thursday. But life got in the way, as it often does, so please forgive us.
Heeeeeeey ya! So this weekend was an eventful one. ON Sunday, I called the girl. And we talked for two hours, among other things. And today… Car/Phone Sex…does life get any better? Avoid the roads in Ohio, I'm distracted…
So, to those of you who made fun of me for listening to the HSM3: Senior Year soundtrack, suck it! I'm listening to it now; I love some of the lyrics. Pretty much amazing… Here's a sample :D
Take my hand, take a breath. Pull me close, and take one step. Keep your eyes, locked to mine. And let the music be your guide. Won't you promise me, we'll keep dancing wherever we go next. It's like catching lightening the chances of finding someone like you. It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do. And with every step together, we just keep on getting better. So can I have this dance?
My favorite song, cuz it reminds me of the girl :D Enjoy!
If I could, I'd send you each a copy of my home made movie called Cherokee Nation (which I did when I was a junior in high school). But since I can't (I know, it's unfortunate), I will settle for giving you the newest chapter of TEOTH. So, ON WITH IT…
BPOV
Arriving back at Alice's house, both Edward and I were smiling. It was true that things hadn't been the same. We couldn't simply pick up as innocently as where we'd left off and continue on, we both realized that; but we'd gotten a lot straightened out. Everything was said that needed to be said, no matter how difficult, and no stone was left unturned.
Of course, we realized that I had to leave the next day for Hawaii, so Edward would need to stay behind to put his house up for sale by himself. We would just deal with my apartment when we got back.
We stumbled through the door, laughing, after reciting the lyrics to LFO's "Summer Girls" on the way home. I had been shocked to find that Edward could 'white boy rap' the entire song, and we'd been laughing hysterically since getting out of the car.
Alice looked at us with a soft smile, as I tried to stifle my giggle. "Shhh," she said, putting a finger to her lips as if to enforce the sound. "Libby's sleeping."
I made an "o" shape with my mouth, but I stayed silent as I slipped off my shoes and gently set them on the ground. Edward stood close to me and when I stood up, we were almost chest to chest, though neither of us knew exactly where to go from there.
"I think I'll go check on her," Alice said with a sly smile. "We did do a lot of shopping." Then, Alice disappeared into the master bedroom.
I turned back to look at Edward, only to find him already staring down at me, making my cheeks flare up. I cleared my throat, not knowing exactly what to say. "Edward…" but before I could finish, his lips were on mine and his arms were wound around my waist.
I put my hands on his shoulders, and he pushed me back a step or two until I was pressed up against the wall. His hands made their way to the orange jacket and the buttons that fastened it… He made quick work of them and threw the jacket from my body, leaving me in just the black tank top I had worn underneath.
His lips left mine, traveling down the exposed skin on my neck and collar bone, leaving me gasping for air as my fingers dug into his shoulders, and my eyes drifted helplessly closed.
"Ahem."
We jerked our heads up to see an amused looking Alice leaning against the bedroom door, her arms crossed over her chest as she watched us.
My face heated up, but Edward made no attempt to move from our close and rather intimate embrace. Instead he stood his ground; if anything, he tightened his grip around me, as he looked back at our pixie friend.
"Edward, would you like to spend the night?" Alice asked looking at him with a now stern expression. Edward turned his head to give me a crooked grin. "NOT like that," Alice clarified. "Libby's asleep and I was wondering if you wanted to sleep in the bedroom with her, rather than drive home."
"Yeah, actually that's very nice of you, Alice," he answered giving her an appreciative smile.
"Good, then Bella and I will take the spare room," she said, turning on her heel to go back into the bedroom, probably to get her pajamas.
Edward took a step away once Alice was out of sight, and held my hands in his, looking down at them.
"You know," he started, "You could always come and join us."
I took one hand from his and cupped it instead on his cheek, making him lean into my palm as he closed his eyes peacefully. "You know I want to." He let out a sigh, probably anticipating the 'but' that was to come, "But, since we just got back together, we may want to take things a little slower," I said as gently as I could. I didn't want him to think I was turning him down…that I didn't want to be with him in that way. I did; more than he could know, but with everything going on in our lives, it just wasn't the time to jump immediately back in bed.
He leaned down and gave me a quick kiss, before taking my hand and leading me toward the bedroom. Alice was just exiting as we entered and Edward let go of me so I could rummage around in my suitcase for my pajamas. With the pants and long sleeved shirt in hand, I went back to Edward, whispering so that I didn't wake up Libby.
"Goodnight, Edward," I smiled at him as I whispered.
"Sweet dreams, my love," he said back with a sigh, as his right hand came up to caress my cheek. "If you need anything through the night, you know where to find me," he whispered as his hand trailed down the side of my breast and down to my hip.
I nodded silently, already feeling my resolve crumbling.
Leaving that room was ridiculously hard. I wanted Edward- that hadn't changed. The way he touched me made me feel indescribably and could make my heart feel as if it were going to thump right out of my chest. What was worse, I thought, as I changed into my pj's, was that all I had to do was open that bedroom door and go to him. I would only have to say three words, "I want you" and I was sure he would give me exactly what I wanted.
With that thought burning in my mind, I went to the spare room to find Alice under the covers, smiling up at me.
So you left the room," she stated.
"I left the room," I sighed, as I flopped down onto the bed next to her before letting out a groan. "God, I'm stupid, aren't I?"
Alice giggled as she wrapped her arms around me in an awkward way because we were laying down. "No, you're very smart," she said, as she brushed my bangs out of my eyes. "Very smart and now sexually deprived," she giggled.
After that I grumbled my goodnight to my best friend, but as she drifted off without a sound, I tossed and turned, running scenarios of what Edward and I could be doing in my mind. I huffed and puffed in frustration until I finally settled for staring up at the ceiling in the dark.
What else was there to do?
Well…..
EPOV
Libby snored softly next to me as I tried to hold back a chuckle. I ran my hand up and down her small back, watching her sleep. Alice had changed Libby into a big t-shirt of Jasper's, and she looked quite comfortable. Her hair was spread out over the white pillowcase, her cupid's bow lips slightly parted. "My sweet little angel" I whispered, so that I didn't wake my daughter.
A creaking door drew my attention to the hallway. Propping myself up onto my elbow, I watched the slit underneath the door. Socked feet came to stand in front of it, but then moved away. I raised an eyebrow, when I saw the socks come back into view. When I heard a hand on the knob, I went to the door, and gently pulled the door open to see a blushing Bella, "Can I help you, love?"
"Umm… Hi."
I bit my lip to keep from smirking at Bella's obvious discomfort. I reached my hand out to graze the skin on her left hip where her shirt had ridden up. Using my thumb, I gently traced small circles over the smooth, fair skin, moving toward Bella, "Darling, aren't you supposed to be in bed?"
My breath ghosted over hers as I blew purposely on her mouth, hoping that mingling our breath would make her more willing to stay. When she didn't step back, I grazed my lips against hers, just briefly letting them touch. Bella groaned, and she tangled her fingers in my hair, pulling my face to hers. Her lips parted, inviting my tongue inside.
Gasping, I pulled back, but Bella's pathetic mewling soon became harsh and demanding, "Kiss me. Now."
She slammed her lips against mine with such bruising force that I gripped her hips harder. I pushed her against the door frame, and she raised her leg, settling it on my hip as she tried to bring her core closer to mine.
Lifting Bella so that she was hooked around my hips, I turned and began backing into the hallway. It would be interesting to back down the stairs with Bella grinding her hips against me the way she was. I broke away, panting, from her now swollen mouth.
"Bella, love, I need to put you down."
She groaned against my ear, the noise making me buck my hips toward her, my head lolling back, "No…Edward…"
"Bella, if I don't put you down, we'll both fall down the stairs. Either you walk, or you ride on my back. It's your choice."
Bella slid down my body, her body rubbing against my cock the entire way. A soft groan spilled from my lips, as Bella jerked my arm around so that my back was facing her, "Help me climb on." When I groaned again, she looked at me with a raised eyebrow, "You offered?"
Smirking, I bent my knees so that she could climb onto my back. Once she was settled there, Bella nibbled at my neck, and my ear; licking and biting. I descended the stairs, taking one step at a time, carefully, as the vixen kissed me softly, humming soft vibrations against my skin.
Once we were by the sofa, Bella slowly slid down my back, her feet quietly landing on the floor. She reached her hands forward, and gripped the waistband of my boxers from behind me, her fingers teasing the soft skin there, "Missed this." Her fingernails skated across my abs, as her arms moved up and down the length of my torso, torturing my skin, and I couldn't help but turn to her.
Abruptly she pushed against my chest, my legs hit the front of the couch, and she proceeded to push me down. I stretched out languidly, my body ready to receive hers. Bella eyed me as if I was her favorite treat, and I swallowed, my Adam's apple bobbing as I watched her. Stretching herself across me, Bella lapped at the exposed skin on my neck, her hips rocking slowly against mine, fucking me through her clothing.
"Oh my fuck, Bella. …'S good." I managed to groan. The goddess above me giggled, before she brought her lips to mine. My hips moved against her thigh, as she tried to get herself off on my leg. Neither of us was quite ready for sex yet, but this would do just… "Fuck! Bella!"
Swollen lips pushed against mine and I exploded, feeling the cum seep into my boxers. The way Bella was panting and moaning my name signaled that she too, had come. Sagging against me, Bella kissed my chest, before resting her head on it. My lips moved to her hair, gently kissing the exotically scented strands. She inhaled, and sighed, seemingly settled, and I understood just how good she felt as we drifted away.
"Edward!"
Had I moved any faster I would have smacked my head into Bella's as she rose at the same time I did. She giggled before burying her face in the crook of my shoulder, sighing contentedly. "How dare you take advantage of Bella."
I rolled my eyes toward the ceiling, and moved my hand across the uncovered skin of Bella's back, "Alice, we are fully clothed. And if you'll notice, Bella is on top of me, so she's the one that took advantage of me!"
Bella pushed away from my chest, and smacked my pec, her eyes narrowing at me, "Excuse me, Edward Anthony?"
"I took advantage of you?" Bella nodded, pressing her mouth against mine. She took my bottom lip between her teeth, tugging it away from my teeth. She shook her head slowly as she pulled at it. I looked toward Alice who was trying to suppress her laughter.
"Wow, Edward, somebody's…" She made a gesture with her hand as though she'd cracked a whip.
I nodded and smirked as Bella released my lip, "Yes I am, and I love every minute of it."
Alice giggled, and Libby wandered in from the kitchen. It was obvious that Alice had awakened to find us asleep in the living room, had gotten my daughter up and dressed without a problem, "Just wait until that baby starts to show itself, Edward. Then you'll be up at all hours of the night getting pickles and peanut butter, and trying to find a watermelon for her during the winter."
Libby crinkled her nose as she stirred her Frosted Flakes, "Eww, I hate those things."
When she came close enough I grabbed her tiny shirt, and pulled her close to me. Libby squealed at me as I narrowed my eyes, "Can I have a mouthful?"
She nodded slowly, crinkling her nose, "But just one, okay Daddy? Don't eat it all, piggy."
I scooped a heap of Frosted Flakes onto the spoon, and Libby stomped her foot, "Daddy! That's a really big bite!"
When she reached for her bowl, I snapped at her, and she giggled, jumping backward as I put the spoon into my mouth. Bella grabbed some skin on my side, and pinched, hard. I gave her a wounded look, my bottom lip poking out into a pout, "Yes, Mommy?"
"Give our daughter her food back, now." I handed Libby the bowl, and Alice laughed at her goddaughter as she scooped up her cereal, looking happy.
"Libby, that has boy germs on it now."
Libby shrugged, looking at me with a grin that could only be described as wicked, "So? I've kissed JJ, I've already got boy germs."
My eyes widened as Bella pressed me back down into the couch. "NO! She's not allowed to date until she's forty! Bella, let me go! I have a boy to go murder!"
BPOV
After calming an overprotective Edward and helping Libby polish off the rest of her Frosted Flakes, we decided that we all needed a little bit more sleep and walked towards our respective bedrooms.
As I glumly walked towards Alice's spare room, sulking after my friend, Edward grabbed my hand and pulled me to him.
"And where do you think you're going?" he asked with a smirk as he raised an eyebrow.
"Bed?" I asked more as if I was asking him permission.
"Why don't you come keep Libby company tonight," he said, adding a wink to know it wasn't just for her sake. "She's been away from her mommy for a long time, and I think she'd like a night with her."
I nodded at him before turning to a smiling Alice. "I um…am going to sleep with Libby tonight. I've missed her," I explained.
"Mhm…sure," she said, straining to keep a somewhat straight face.
I shrugged my shoulders at her with a smile before we said our goodnights and I went to the master bedroom to lie on the left side of the bed. Libby lay between Edward and I. Over the top of her I could see Edward smiling at me as her breathing became more even and heavy, until finally tiny snores fell from her parted mouth.
Her tiny arms reached out to hold me in her sleep and I couldn't keep the smile from my face. I held her close to me as Edward moved closer to our hugging forms to hold us as well.
Trapped in our tiny little family embrace, I couldn't help but sigh in contentment and slowly drift back to sleep myself. I don't remember what I dreamt of exactly that night, but I had a feeling it was amongst my better dreams, because I woke up in the morning with a smile on my face and feeling better than I had in a long time.
"Good morning, love," Edward whispered and I turned over to see Edward's sparkling eyes running over my face.
It always seemed that he woke up before me. Only once did I remember waking to find his eyes still closed and his breathing deep. He looked so peaceful and devastatingly handsome that it almost made my heart hurt.
"Why are we whispering?" I asked, not completely coherent in the mornings.
He smiled at me, his form shaking with a chuckle as he nodded down to my waist. I followed his gaze to find a sleeping Libby wrapped round my middle tightly.
Lost in the moment, I smiled down at the bronze hair so much like her father's and rubbed circles in her warm, soft back.
"I think she missed her mommy," Edward whispered as he looked at his daughter snuggled closely to me. His eyes looked glassy as if on the verge of tears. "She's never had anyone to act like a mother for her," he continued. "Not until you came."
I looked back down at her as I spoke. "I'm really excited that you made one with me," I whispered softly feeling my eyes start to prickle.
Edward leaned across the little space and kissed my cheek. "Me too, darling,"
Libby started to stir and after staying in bed for about forty-five minutes, and having a tickle war with Edward and Libby, we finally were able to bathe the little one and then get ourselves ready for the day: my last day.
Alice had been great, saying that I could spend the day with Libby and Edward and she would take care of the little packing that needed to be done for our return to Hawaii. So in our spare time, we went to the playground in the park, pushing Libby on the swing and catching her as she slid down the slide.
We laughed as we ate lunch, watching Libby attempt to eat a giant piece of pizza until she finally gave up and let her father cut it into pieces with a knife so she could eat it in smaller bits. But as it was my last day with them, we couldn't stop at pizza, we had to get ice cream as well.
On our way back to Edward's parked car, Libby stumbled on a crack in the concrete and dropped her cone on the sidewalk. She began to tear up, her face crumbling as she was about to cry, but I reached down to give her the remainder of my chocolate cone and she smiled sadly up at me.
"It's alright, sweetheart, you can take it," I promised.
"It looks like your clumsiness is starting to rub off on our daughter," Edward laughed, making Libby looked up wide eyed at her daddy.
"You mean I get to be like mommy?" she asked with a smile.
Edward leaned down and kissed the tip of her nose before smiling, "You are getting more like mommy every single day."
I had to swallow the lump that had formed in my throat when Libby smiled and jumped up and down, squealing "Yay!"
But as great as the day had been, it also had to come to an end. When we arrived back at Alice's place our bags were packed and set by the door, a clear sign saying it was time to go. I didn't want to leave them behind, not again, even if I knew I'd see them soon. The good-byes were going to be the hardest for me and I didn't want to have to say them.
I turned toward Edward, a solemn expression on my face, afraid that if I left, he would disappear, and I just couldn't live with that.
EPOV
Bella sagged against me, her face pressed into my chest. She seemed to be inhaling my scent, as I wrapped my arms around her. When she finally stepped back, her eyes met mine, "Do you really have to stay?"
Kissing her brown hair, I sighed, taking in the scent of her shampoo, "Yes, love, I need to stay, but just until we have a new house in our possession. It won't take long; I just need to make sure it's a place we'll both want to live."
Her fingers tugged at my belt loops, "Well if you come with me, I'll make it worth your while."
A low groan passed across my lips as she pulled me closer, my hips gently bumping into her, "Bella, love, you are making this extremely difficult. I love you, and if there was any other way to go about this, I would. Trust me."
She pouted, her bottom lip jutting out more than was needed for a normal pout, "But baby, I want you and Libby to come with me…"
I reached at her hand, and allowed my thumb to rub across the pouting lip, "Bella, you can take Libby with you, if you'd like. The ultimate decision is hers, but if she wants to be with her Mommy, then I won't stop her."
"Can I go, Daddy? Please?" Libby was bouncing on the balls of her feet, as she beamed up at me. I understood that she had missed her mother, but a part of me had hoped that she would want to stay with me.
"Do you want to go, Libby Bug?" She nodded slowly, as if gauging my reaction. When I winked, she squealed loudly, her fingers grabbing at my pants.
"Thank you, Daddy!" I hefted her up from the floor, cradling my four year old gently.
"You need to behave, Elizabeth Cullen, because your Mommy can punish you just as I have. My phone will always be on so you can call me if you need anything, alright pumpkin?"
Libby nodded furiously; her enthusiasm had obviously not been tempered when I told her that she needed to behave well. When I put her down, she scampered over towards Bella, and hugged her legs, "Oh Mommy! Me, you, Alice, and Nemo will have soooo much fun!"
Hiding my face in the fabric of my t-shirt, I snorted, trying to control my laughter. Bella was petting Libby's hair, watching me with a curious expression on her face, "Nemo, peanut?"
"Mhm! Cause Heather telled me Nemo's swimming. So, Dory says, "Just keep swimmin' just keep swimmin'" the baby's swimmin', Mommy!"
Bella giggled, and leaned down to kiss Libby's nose, "And then what happened?"
Our daughter shrugged, "She says dat Bren Bren swam. And then, Uncle Li called Daddy a 'sloooow swimmer' and he got slapped." Obviously proud of her story, Libby smiled, and I couldn't hold back my laughter any longer.
Clutching my stomach, I leaned back into the couch, my back pressing against the cushions as I sat down. Laughter spilled from my lips and my girls looked at each other with giant smiles. Libby moved Bella's hands away from the soon to be swelling skin, and lifted her shirt slowly. Bella gazed down at Libby who kissed the soft skin on Bella's stomach and said, "Nemo bringed daddy's laugh back. Good job!"
Tears of mirth spilled down my cheeks and Libby came towards me, climbing into my lap, and laying her head against my heart. I stroked her hair, then Bella came to me, too, her fingers gently wiping away the tears rolling down my face.
She pressed her lips against my wet cheek, before her teeth moved to nibble at my ear, "I love you; both of you. It's good to be home."
Pressing my lips against hers soundly, I smiled, backing away to speak softly, "Just wait until we have our own home, love. I'll make sure it's good enough for you, and our children."
There was a knock at the door, and Alice went to open it. My parents were standing outside looking sheepish; well my father was standing sheepishly, my mother had a bright smile lighting up her features, "So, what's going on with my favorite couple?"
Alice giggled, "Well, Jasper's still in Hawaii, so I'm here alone."
Esme laughed softly, embracing Alice tightly, "How are you, Alice?"
"I'm trying to pry these two lovebirds apart so Bella, Libby and I can go back to Hawaii while Edward stays here to sell the house."
My mother squinted down at me, a smile no longer present on her face, "Edward, sweetheart, could I talk to you in the kitchen?"
I winced, shifting Libby onto Bella's lap, "Sure, Mom."
Her hand grasped at my t-shirt and she practically dragged me toward the kitchen. I heard Libby's not so hushed whisper, "Oooh, Daddy's in trouble!"
When she had me in the kitchen, my mother began to whisper furiously at me. I'm sure that everyone in the house could hear the hissing of her whispers, but hoped that no one would be able to make them out, "Edward, what in the world are you thinking?"
Grimacing, I backed away, and lifted myself onto the counter, "I'm standing in the kitchen with you, well, sitting now."
Her pointer finger prodded my chest, her eyes flashing, "Do not get lippy with me, young man. I can't believe you're letting Bella, your pregnant girlfriend, go back to Hawaii by herself, when she has a STALKER!"
Groaning, I let my head bang against the counter, "Mom, the stalker hasn't even shown up there. Plus, I can't be her bodyguard anymore, I'm a med student. And anyway, my emotions would just get in the way…"
I trailed off, glancing towards the living room, my eyes lingering on Bella and Libby. Bella was tickling our squirming daughter, and as soon as I thought the word 'our', my mother put her arm around me, "Sweetheart, your father and I will sell your house, find you a new one, and have everything moved for you. If you don't like it, you can sell it as soon as filming is over. We can even decorate it for you, if you'd like."
"Mom, you don't have---"
Esme cut me off, her hand covering my mouth, "Edward. Hush. You're going with them and that's final. Am I understood?"
"Yes, ma'am" I mumbled through her fingers.
"Good. Now go tell Bella that you will be joining them." Esme pushed away from the counter, her hand swatting at my ass as I walked towards my family. My girls…oh God, how I loved them.
Well I hoped you guys liked it. We are one step closer to a lemon, that's how I look at it…lol. Hopefully we can actually update on time this coming week, that would be nice. But again, I apologize if we can't.
