oyal Love chapter 5
Edward POV
I must have dozed of as the next thing I know the door burst open and my mother was stood there, my father stood behind her.
"What are you doing in here? You should be in there doting on your nephew!" Mum said in shock and walking towards the door that connects to the two rooms together.
"Mum stop," she stopped and looked at me, "Alice is currently breastfeeding or trying to which is why I'm in here. So instead of overwhelming her, why don't you wait until Jasper says we can go in. Trust me mum, it will be worth the wait," I said while patting the spot on the sofa next to me. I looked over at my dad and he was giving me a cheeky smile.
"Oh okay fine!" Mum huffed and plopped down next to me. "I just really want to see him. I knew we shouldn't have gone Carlisle; I had a feeling, but no. You insisted that we go. And now look what's happened? I've misses the birth of my first grand child. Shame on you Carlisle, shame on you." Mother was pointing at him and had her eyebrows risen. Dad took a step back and held his hands up; probably hoping it would calm her down, but now she was on a roll there was no stopping her.
"I mean, I had this instinct and I told you about it, yet you just blew it off and said, 'Esme dear, Alice has at least two weeks left and both Edward and Jasper were late so theirs a fair chance that this baby will, trust me May, you won't miss it.' And now look what's happened! I've missed it. Jeez Mary and Jack were so convinced that they decided to go on an anniversary trip to Paris and their still not here, and where's Cynthia?"
My eyes widened, shit I forgot to call Cynthia. Quickly taking my phone out my pocket I called her. It rang a couple of times before she picked up.
"Hello?" She said when she picked up.
"Cynthia? its Edward. I'm just wondering where you are?" I asked, all the while trying to ignore my mothers burning stair into the side of my head.
"I'm just getting ready to go out for dinner with some friends. Why what's up?" She asked nonchalantly.
"Change of plans. By any chance can you get to The Portland Hospital as quickly as you can?" I asked simply. There was a pause.
"Why…?" She drawled out.
"Because your sister has had the baby and I think she would like for you to be here," I said with a frown, thinking why else would I tell her to come to the Portland.
"Oh no need. Alice called and told me she had him. I asked if she wanted me to come and she said no, that I may as well just wait until she left as she'll have to deal with two overtly excited grandmother to deal with and that they'll be bickering over who's held him the longest and what not, so we both thought it would be easier to wait until she gets home for me to see the little tyke. So no need for the call, but thanks for the call Ed, I'll see you later."
And she put the phone down. I looked at it, smiled and shook my head. I looked up at my mother who was still giving me a death glare.
"Alice called her and they both decided that it would be easier to wait until she'd left the hospital as she'd have two grandmothers to contented with," I tried to hide my smirk, but I couldn't, it didn't help that I could hear dad chucking from the across the room and before I knew it, I was laughing. Mums lips twitched and she smiled too, but shook her head as well.
"What's with the laughing? I thought you were here to see my son?"
We all looked up to see Jasper stood in the door way with baby Harry in his arms. Mum gasped and was out of her seat so quick I'm sure I saw a blur.
"Oh a boy! Oh Jasper! I'm so happy for you and Alice. But let me see my grandson," Mum all but demanded, Jasper chuckled and carefully handed Harry to her.
"Oh hello handsome, I'm nana Esme. Aren't you just beautiful? He's amazing. Oh look at that little tuff of blonde hair at the front? Ph you and Alice made such a gorgeous little boy! What's his name?" Mum said in practically one breath. I looked at her wide eyed, then looked towards my dad, he was just smiling and walked over to look at him also.
"His name is Harry Jackson Edward. Amazing isn't he?" Jasper gloated. I chuckled and got up off the sofa. I bypassed the doting father and grand parents and went to see Alice. But was surprise to see she was still talking to Bella.
"Honestly Bella I couldn't thank you enough. You were so calm, soothing and assuring. I think I'm gonna nominate you for midwife of the year if there's such a thing." Alice smiled at her and squeezed her hand.
"But also you said you delivered your first baby at sixteen? What happened for that to happen?" Alice asked. Bella chuckled.
"Erm…I'd just turned sixteen and I was in the elevator at a clothing store and it broke down. They told us that it would be a while as for some reason there was a delay. There was only me and the woman in the lift so I was okay. I hadn't even noticed that she was pregnant. It had been two hours when she let out a cry of pain. I asked her what was wrong and she told me she was in labour and that she'd been having pains all day but thought they were Braxton Hicks contractions as she still had a couple of days left. Not two minutes later her water broke and she told me she needed to push. I got on the phone and told them that they better send an ambulance as well as their was going to be a baby joining us soon. Twenty minutes later the baby boy was born and let's just say it had a lasting effect on me. From that moment I knew I wanted to be a midwife. And I did." I smiled at the story and coughed lightly to let myself be known. They both looked over at me.
"I thought I'd talk to my sister-in-law while Jasper tries to stop mum from stealing Harry…"
"I heard that!" Mum shouted making us all laugh. I walked further into the room and sat in the seat at the other side of Alice's bed.
"How you're feeling Ally?" I asked her.
"Surprisingly well Edward, but I had a very good labour and birth. All thanks to Bella here," Alice said looking at Bella again and she blushed at her praise.
"Any midwife would have done the same Alice." Bella said reassuringly. "Okay so I'm going to leave you to it. I came back to tell you that my shifts over and that Angela will come in a check on you. I assure you that she is more than capable. She's also my best friend. So you're in very, very good hands. I may not see you before you leave so if I don't congratulations and enjoy it. Princess, your Majesty," Bella got up smiled, walked to the door, turned back waved and walked out and closing the door behind her.
"So how are you felling?" Alice asked me.
"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" I asked her with a raised eyebrow and a smile.
"You already did and plus I know that Lady Bitch was at the event in Manchester. I cannot be more glad that Harry decided to show up, means I didn't have to see that social climbing, queen wannabe," Alice ranted at me. My eyes went wide at her rant, but I couldn't help the laugh that escaped me.
"Oh Alice, what would I do without you?"
"Probably die of boredom. Plus you wouldn't have any help trying to get all the hordes of women away from you," I laughed at her words, I couldn't help it. It was completely true.
"Plus, without me you won't have met the prettiest midwife there is. So should I ask what the staring was about?" Alice demanded. I gulped.
"I have no idea what you're talking about," I said with a shrug and sitting back in the chair.
"On come on? I'd literally just given birth and I could see the way you were looking at her. Although I can see why, she is very beautiful," She said with a far off look on her face. I shook my head and smiled. She was about to say more when my mum walked back into the room gushing about baby Harry.
Things got loud and proud not long after that, as Alice's parents showed up and all our mobiles started ringing on and off as the news of Harry's birth became known. Also gifts of flowers and cards also flocked to the room too. I was also right about the bickering between the grandmothers, as they both complained about holding the baby. In the end my father took the baby from Mary, Alice's mum and gave him back to Alice.
"I think it's time we all left and let mother, father and baby have their rest. It's been a very exhorting day for all of us and Harry's going to be around forever, so time to go. Mary, Jack you're more than welcome to come stay at our house…"
They continued to talk amongst themselves as they said their goodbyes and noisily left the room. I chuckled and turned back to Alice and Jasper.
"I'll see you when you get home and I'll make sure the motley crew does as well as you need time to bond with little Harry. So I'll see you then and make sure everything's set up for your arrival home." I gave Alice and Harry a kiss goodbye, hugged Jasper and made my way from the hospital.
We left through the front door this time seen as the world now knew about our youngest member of the family and the press was out in hordes already. I discreetly shook my head and smiled.
"King Edward?"
"King Edward?"
"How's Princess Alice?"
"Is the baby okay?"
The questions were endless and I just smiled. I was just about to get into the car I turned around and gave them a little something.
"Jasper, Alice and the baby are perfectly fine. I just hope you respect their privacy in this special time. That's all I ask," I nodded to them and got in the car and headed back to Buckingham Palace.
Where I couldn't get a certain beautiful brunette out of my head.
*RL*
Two days later on the 14th of May Jasper and Alice took baby Harry home to their apartment at Kensington Palace. They had moved in last year and Alice adored it. It had also just gone through some light renovations.
The world was currently going baby Prince Harry crazy. All wanting to know what he looked like, the reason behind the name, why schools he would possibly going to. All I could think was that he was just a baby. Simple as. He was just a sweet innocent baby who had an amazing life a head of him. I honestly couldn't wait to see it. Also I was starting to feel a little broody myself, which I couldn't believe.
Also the one other thing was that I couldn't get Bella out of my head. When I wasn't immediately thinking about her, another part of my brain was. She was constantly on my mind. Them huge big brown doe eyes were always staring back at me whenever I closed my eyes. I had dreamed about her these past two nights and let's just say they left me with a rather large predicament in the morning.
I was so obsessed that I had Alec run a more thorough background check done on her. I know it was ridiculous of me but I couldn't help myself. I was currently stood in my personal office when there was a knock at the door.
"Come in," I called out and looked up for my computer to see Alec walk into the room holding a folder.
"This is the background check you wanted sir," Alec said while walking across the room and holding the folder out of me to take. Nodding I took the folder from him.
"Thanks Alec, will that be all?" I asked him.
"Yes sir. Have a good day sir," I smiled and nodded to him.
"You to Alec, tell Jane I said hello," Alec smiled and nodded to me also.
"Will do sir." And with that he walked out of the room.
Sitting back in my chair I hesitated before opening the folder but impatience got the best of me. Moving some things around, I laid the folder flat and opened it.

Just from reading the background check I liked her even more. She still lived at home, which I completely understand due to times been very hard for people right now, even though people would contradict that for me as right now I'm not currently feeling the pinch everyone else is. Although I could have done with out the general election this year as it made a coalition government which, I honestly don't see working. Plus I really can't stand David Cameron. He's a snobby bastard if I ever saw one, and that's coming from me! A king for Christ sake!
Anyway, I think I've met her father Charlie, I'm not quite sure. But that also means that Charlie Swan has worked very hard in his career to get where he is now at forty-seven. That's for sure. Plus Renee was promoted to head teacher of her primary school at the end of last year's school year, she's well respected and has a way with the children that makes them love her. This year her school is looking to have some of the best year six SATs exam results the school has ever seen. Her brother Emmett is currently the lead physio therapist for Tottenham Hotspurs football team, and is engaged to a one Rosalie Hale, sports pundit for Sky Sports News. They're a perfect match really, they also have a two year old son called Henry and Rosalie is currently six month pregnant with their second child.
Isabella herself has exceptional exam results. In your basic, English, Maths and Science, she excelled in her A-levels to achieve A*s in English and Science but stayed the same in math, I don't blame her, maths is a pain in the arse, she also sat several other exams and stayed in the range of A-B grades. I bet her family was really proud of her. And to have learned that she had only done a year instead of two in A-level makes me realise that she is a hell of a lot smarter than she looks.
She got special acceptance into the midwifery program at City University London, due to her volunteer work at her local maternity hospital and that she'd already delivered a baby, her letters of recommendation from staff at the hospital was practically glowing, it basically says that she helped out wherever she possibly could and even helped in the NICU, just holding the babies when their parents couldn't be there for them. So she was accepted into the program at seventeen instead of eighteen, even though she turned eighteen two weeks into the course. Due to her doing a midwifery course, she had no student bills as the NHS (National Health Service) plays for all training midwife courses. So she was not in any duet whatsoever and had a rather good job considering how early in her career she is.
I don't know why but I felt an overwhelming feeling of pride for her. She'd worked herself to the bone and got where she wants to be in life. Therefore making me, feel proud of her myself. She would be an amazing role model to so may people it would be unreal.
I put the papers back into the folder and put them into the top draw of my desk. Sitting back and turning my chair around to look out of the window at the beautiful grounds of Buckingham Palace's gardens, I thought about how I could possibly pursue Bella when she'd have to give up everything she's worked so hard for if everything goes the way I'd want it to go.
But nobody would deny that she would make an amazing Queen.
*RL*
Sunday the formal pictures ofAlice, Jasper and baby Harry were released to the world, causing another storm of baby news coverage. And there was on thing everyone could agree on, baby Prince Harry was absolutely gorgeous and the perfect mix of mother and father, they also couldn't get over the little blonde tuff of hair at the front of his head. To be honest everyone adored it.
I had just arrived at Kensington Palace to see my adorable nephew as I knew that my father had told my mother that she needs to leave it for a day and let everyone else have a look and cuddle with him. Mum had scowled at him and walked out in a huff, I couldn't help it I had laughed. But as far as I knew I would be the only person here today, which I was looking forward to as I hadn't actually gotten a chance to hold Harry yet.
Walking though the front door of Jasper and Alice's four floor apartment, I could hear laughter coming from the informal living room. I walked around the corner and got the shock of my life when I saw Bella sat on the sofa holding Harry.
She looked up at me and gave me what had to have been the most beautiful smile I had ever seen, her cheeks had a light blush to them and her eyes were sparkling with, what I could only assume to be happiness. She looked so beautiful with her hair down in waves to the middle of her back, she was wearing hardly any make-up, which I think she didn't need anyway, and she was beautiful without it. She also had on a gorgeous blue dress that made her creamy skin look exquisite and nude heels. Around she looked amazing.
"Edward? Hey you made it," My head snapped in the direction it came from, which was Jasper. I smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, I was hoping that I would finally get cuddle today," I smiled and walked over to Alice to give her a peck on the cheek and hand her the gift bags full of things for both her and Harry.
"Oh Edward you didn't have to,"Alice smiled lazily at me, I frowned at her, she looked totally blissed out, which I could understand, but I though she might have been a little sleepy as aren't babies supposed to not sleep?Alice looks like she's had a good twelve hours.
"You're looking very well rested Alice, Harry not keeping you up?" I chuckled.
"No actually, he's such a good baby, he only wakes up twice at the most, and Jasper gets up when he cry's as he loves daddy cuddles," Alice smiled lovingly at Jasper who sat back down next to her and kissed her cheek.
I looked back over at Bella and she was smiling at them, she turned to look at me and blushed when she saw me looking at her, I gave her my signature crooked smile and she blushed a little more. Oh how I'm going to love that when she's mine.
Wait…What?
"Nice to see you again Bella, although I'm a little surprised to," I said honestly looking back over at Alice and jasper.
"Oh I invited her on Friday when I saw her before we left. Plus I had asked her to be in that charity fashion show I'm hosting, one of the models had to drop out due to family reasons and it's on the 26th so I'm trying to persuaded her to take part, but she's stalling for some reason," Alice said looking back over at Bella, who blushed when all the attention was on her.
"I'm too short to be a model, plus I have no coordination whatsoever, and I'd end up falling flat on my face and possibly breaking a leg," Bella said, I chuckled making her look at me.
"At least think about it Bella, I really want you to be apart of it, plus its not just models taking part, it's people from all walks of life so your not alone," Alice said.
Alice had started planning the fashion show when she was five months pregnant, it was to raise money for her charities. So far all I knew was that it was supposed to happen the week before Aliceg ave birth and that I had to be there, which I didn't mind as some of her charities I was a patron of as well. Also the other thing was that she'd managed to get both high street designers and high fashion to take part and offer up some clothing. So far it sounded like it was going to be a great evening and if Bella was going to take part then I sure as hell couldn't wait.
"Here you go your majesty, I know you want to hold him." Bella said standing up and coming over to hand him to me. I met her half way and took him from her. He whimpered a little when Bella moved her arms to help accommodate him into my arms, I looked up at her and she was looking lovingly down at him with a slight smile on her face. It also didn't escape me that she smelt amazing, all strawberry's and freesia's. It was delectable, just like she was.
"Perfect, don't you think your majesty?" Bella asked and looked up at me with her huge big brown doe eyes.
"Edward." I suddenly said. She frowned at me.
"Call me Edward." She looked at me wide eyed for a moment before giving me a small smile and nodding her head.
"Edward," She whispered.
And I near about died then and there.
