"Ok, so I don't know how this conversation is going to go, but I figured I'd let you start, you can put your pro's and con's and any concerns you might have and then I'll answer and we can maybe come to a solution?" Edward asked, seeming just as nervous as I am. I understand it though, if I agree to this, all our lives will be changing drastically. Taking a deep breath, I try and make sense of everything that is floating around in my head, trying to organize my thoughts though seemed to be impossible so I started with the easy one.
"I don't want you paying for everything. If we do this, it will be equal. I know you have way more money than I ever will, but I can't mooch off of you, I refuse to." That one right there was a deal breaker, even in high school, I had had a part time job so that I would have spending money. I didn't like taking it from people and to do so now would go against everything I've always taught Ethan about working for what you want.
Edward only nodded, but I had a feeling it wouldn't end there.
"Second, I think, that seeing as how our relationship has progressed, we would be ok sharing a room, only if you're agreeable that is." I could feel my cheeks heating at that statement. It was a simple enough request, but the undertones of it were not so innocent. I glance a look up and I see Edward smirking, I think he knew what had me blushing. I continued on.
"Third, I want a house, it was my plan all along for Ethan and I to live in a house, I had planned to start looking here soon for one for us. I want Ethan to be able to play outside without an adult and in his own front yard. Finally, I'll agree to you using the sale of the condo towards Ethan's college but I don't want the other half for me. If anything should happen to us, we'll deal with it then but I couldn't accept that money anymore then I could have you paying all the bills." There. I had said everything I had been thinking, now to hear what Edward wants.

I'll say that I was defiantly surprised. I figured she'd have put up more resistance then what she did. I was expecting the 'we haven't been together long enough to be living together' speech but instead I get hit with the possibility of sharing a bed! I think it's safe to say that Bella will always keep me guessing, but that's one of the things I love about her. Yea, I said love. I wouldn't say I'm completely in love yet, but it's on a crash course for it for sure. My only hang up about all this is the money issue. Hopefully we can get all this resolved tonight so we can share with Ethan tomorrow.
"OK, your first thing is bills. How about I take care of the mortgage, power and water and you can take care of groceries and any other bills we might have like cable, cellphone and internet? I realize that it's not divided down the middle and not to sound like an ass but I do make more then you, please let me provide for my family, I'm already agreeing to you paying some of the bills." She chewed her lip for a second, eyeing me like she could see right through my soul. Seeming to have come to some kind of decision, she took a deep breath and nodded.
"OK, I'll agree to that, only since it's so important to you. I just don't like to feel like I'm not contributing, ok? So, I'll do all the cooking and any household chores as well. We don't need to hire a housekeeper since I can work from home most of the time anyways." Yea, Bella nearly flipped when she found out I had one. 'It's just you here and you're never really here anyways so why in the hell would you have a housekeeper for?' I just shrugged at her; we'd always had them so it made sense at the time.
"OK, you're second condition is sharing a room? Well, that doesn't really need to be discussed now does it? I'm sure we could play nicely together, don't you?" There's that blush that you like, when she see's my smile, she punches me in the arm, "ass" she says, but I saw the smile that graced her lips.
"Now the third is getting a house. I completely agree. I only got the condo because it was just me and I think as a family a house would be the best bet. We can start looking at houses right away, if you wanted. Or if we don't find anything we like we can always have something built and please remember that you agreed to me paying for the mortgage so, price doesn't matter, Bella. Tell me what your dream house would look like?"
We spent the next 20 minutes with her telling me what she wanted in a house. Her most passionate with the kitchen with state of the art everything, granite countertops and a center island. She wanted at least a garden tube in the master bathroom to take bubble baths in. I'll admit that my mind imagined us together in that bath. She wanted an office for work and for Ethan to have a boy's area for games both video and not. The biggest thing was space; she wanted a lot of yard space for Ethan so he could run around and just have fun. I wanted the same thing and told her so. We grabbed her laptop and looked up houses for sale. We managed to narrow them down to three one in Seattle and two in Bellevue. Now, we just had to talk to Ethan, I scheduled an appointment to view these houses tomorrow, so hopefully can all go and look tomorrow.
"Well, I guess I'll go ahead and go, I'll be back early tomorrow, so we can talk to Ethan and look at some of the houses." I made to get up when I felt Bella's hand on my leg.
"Why don't you just stay? If we're going to move in together Ethan might as well get use to us sleeping together." I quirked an eyebrow at Bella, I knew what she meant but I couldn't help it, she was so easy to mess with.
"You know what I mean you perv. But hey, you want to act like that you can just sleep on the couch like usual."
Pushing me back, she jumped up off the couch and started walking towards her room, I grabbed her just as she got up, pulling me back down into my lap.
"Where did you think you were going?"
I brought my lips to hers, giving her a searing kiss, as I moved her so that she was straddling me. putting my hands on her ass, she ground her heat onto my throbbing cock. groaning slightly I went to push her further onto me. Giving me one more quick kiss, she broke the hold I had on her and jumped back up.
"Have fun on the couch!"
I refused to sleep on that couch another night, so I jumped up, caught up with her and wrapped my arms around her waist from behind. She squealed as I picked her up and went into her room, shutting the door with my foot. Lightly throwing her on the bed, she turned over onto her back, that's when I pounced.
"That was not very nice little girl. I might just have to make you pay for that." With that, I put my mouth on hers kissing her without mercy. Her hands wasted no time finding my hair, her fingers twining between the locks and tugging slightly making me moan. Meanwhile, my hands were trailing down her side to find the end of her shirt. Finding it, I push my hands just under the hem, giving her a moment to tell me to stop. I knew we couldn't do much with Ethan down the hall, but that didn't mean, I couldn't give my girl a little release. No hearing anything from Bella to stop me, I lifted her shirt up and off of her. Pulling the cup of her bra down I wasted no time in attaching my lips to her breast.
I had always considered myself and 'ass' man, but damn, Bella's breasts' have converted me. They fit just right into the palm of my hand, and are so firm and round; I could spend hours just on her breasts. While my mouth was busy with the right one, my hand went to the left so it wasn't feeling neglected. Meanwhile, Bella was working on relieving me of my shirt, once she had gotten as far as her and could reach, I reluctantly sat up to remove it the rest of the way, while Bella worked to remove her bra. Not one to miss an opportunity, I started to undo the button on her pants, this had her pause, wanted to reassure her, I said;
"I don't plan on making love to you tonight. I want our first time to be special and I want to be able to take our time, not having to worry if our son is going to burst in on us at any second. I just want to make you feel good, ok?" She nodded, and I continued undoing and removing her jeans and then her underwear. We had never messed around with this much clothing removed before, and my poor cock was going to have permanent zipper lines on it from how hard it was just seeing Bella naked spread out before me. Kissing her stomach, I made my way south. Kissing a trail to her bellybutton, I went right, to her hip nipping as I went before trailing over to the other one, I knew I was teasing her, but it was all about building her pleasure. I kissed my way back to her naval before going down to the tops of the soft curls covering her pussy. I used my finger first, swirling it around in her wetness, dipping into her heat then going back up to her clit, rubbing softly. She smelled so sweet that I couldn't hold off any longer, removing my finger I heard her groan as she pushed her hips up to find my finger again, instead, she met my tongue. I gave one slow lick from bottom to top, running over her clit giving it a few swipes before sucking it into my mouth, flicking it with my tongue as I did. Bella had grabbed a pillow from the head of the bed and had it over her face, beneath it I could hear her moans of pleasure, deciding to step it up a bit, I added two fingers to the mix, pushing them up into her, trying to find that spongy little pleasure center, finding it, I lightly rubbed it while continuing to tease her clit with my tongue. Bella's moaning turning into near screaming coupled with a "Fuck" and an "oh fuck" every now and then. I could tell that she was close, her pussy was clamping down on my fingers like a vice this only made me think about how it'd be when we made love for the first time, that thought alone almost made me jizz my pants. I sped up my ministrations slightly knowing she was so close, she started bucking her hips up into me, so I moved faster, sucking her clit into my mouth again was all it took for her to explode into passion, sending her essence into my mouth which I lapped up happily. Removing my fingers, I kissed a slow trail back up to her mouth, when I got there, I hesitated slightly, not knowing whether or not she wanted me to kiss her after having been down there, but she surprised me back grabbing hold of my neck, pulling me down to her and kissing me hard, trusting her tongue into my mouth. Knowing that she tasted herself on me only served to make me harder, which at this point was slightly painful. Trying to be the gentleman I knew my mother raised I moved my lower half away from her, so she wouldn't know just how hard this was for me of course she knew instantly and wanted to help. "It's the least I could do after what you just did for me." She pushed me back onto the bed and started to undo my jeans. I grabbed at her hands to stop her, and I swear I could hear my cock groan in frustration.
"Bella, baby I did that because I wanted to, not because I was expecting anything in return." She smiled at me, removing her hands from mine.
"I want to, please? Let me make you feel as good as you make me feel." That was all the agreement I needed. She slowly undid the zipper on my jeans. Taking care not to hurt me, I was going to commando after all. She pushed my jeans down, before pulling them all the way off. Situating herself between my legs, she grasped my cock firmly, but softly in her small hand. Giving it a few pumps she lowered her head and licked the head. It was like sending a jolt of electricity directly through me, making me jump slightly. Bella stopped looking up at me, concerned.
"Did I hurt you?" No, she most certainly didn't hurt me.
"Not at all, It just felt so good, and it's been a while." She nodded and went back to what she was doing. She licked around the head for a bit before taking me into her mouth. Heaven is the only word I could use to describe it. She used her hand for what she couldn't fit into her mouth and slowly she began to move her mouth up and down on my cock, using her tongue to drive me further insane, I was close already and this was just making my impending orgasm come sooner, pun intended! Just like Bella, I grabbed a pillow, to muffle my moans of pleasure. She sped up then taking a little bit more into her mouth with each downward thrust, till I felt my cock hit the back of her throat. Damn, my girl could deep throat. It was taking every ounce of self-control I had to not thrust up into her mouth. She started moving her head faster and hallowing out her cheeks as she went, I felt it, and I need her to move or I was going to come in her mouth.
"Bella, baby move I'm going to come." She didn't though, she hummed slightly and that threw me over the edge and came harder than I ever had. My breathing labored and my heart going a mile a minute, I barely noticed Bella make her way back up to me a smirk on her face.
"How was that?"
Trying to clear the fog from my head, I said, "I think you're trying to kill me woman. That being said, that was the best blow job I think I've had."
We pulled the covers up over our still naked bodies and drifted into a content sleep.
Next morning we woke up early, to ensure we were decent before Ethan woke up. Bella went to get breakfast started while I hopped in the shower. After getting done I got out, dressing in clothes that I had left over here at some point. Reemerging in the kitchen I noticed Ethan at the table eating his pancakes. He didn't look like he expected anything but with him you just never knew. Sitting down Bella sat a plate in front of me then set hers down before sitting next to me. Looking at her I she nodded, so I took that as my cue to start the conversation.
"Ethan, your mom and I have something we want to discuss with you. I was hoping you could let us talk then when we're done you can ask questions and we'll try to answer them, ok?"
He put his fork down and looked at us expectantly, so I continued.
"Your mom and I discussed last night and we think that it'd be a good idea if we all lived together, we'd get a house together, one that we all pick out that way we can all be together and I don't have to go home at night. What do you think?" I knew I was slightly rambling but Ethan's opinion was most important to me, this would never work if he didn't agree to it. I know that's putting a lot of trust in a 9 year old but, it's his life too.
"Well, I don't know dad, will you and mom be together, and does this mean you're getting married now? What are your intentions with my mother?" I gulped. I don't know how it was impossible to feel intimidated by a nine year old but at that moment I was scared shitless.
"Well, your mom and I are together yes, but as of right now there aren't any marriage plans, that's not to say though that one day there won't be any just, not right now, ok?" I hope this placates him for now. I saw marriage with Bella defiantly, but we still had much to learn about each other. I looked over to Bella and I'm sure we were wearing matching expressions. I grabbed her hand which had been white-knuckling the table, and looked back over at our son. He noticed the gesture, but continued on with his questioning.
"I have one more question for you." His face hadn't lost that hard look he'd had since the beginning and I was starting to worry now.
"Can we have a pool?" His face lost the hard demeanor instantly and then he broke out into giggles.
"Oh my god, you should have seen your faces! That was payback for kissing in front of me the other night!" He was messing with us? Oh that is it! I grabbed him and threw him over my shoulder walking into the living room where I tossed him onto the couch before ticking him until his face turned red.
"OK, OK uncle I'm sorry! Dad! If you don't stop I'm going to pee all over you!" That got me to stop immediately.
"Just kidding!" He tackled me and started tickling me right back. We wrestled around on the living room floor like this for a while before we heard a throat clearing.
"If you two are done acting like heathens, could you please come back in and finish your breakfasts, we have that appointment to look at houses in a few hours." I could tell she wasn't really mad about us leaving the table; the smile on her face gave it away.
Sitting back down at the table, I took a second, looking at Bella and Ethan, wondering how I had gotten so lucky, to not only has an amazing girlfriend but a son as well. I couldn't wait for our lives together to begin.
