Thank you Moonstruck Kitten for all the help you've given so far … the story is coming along wonderfully, and I don't think I'd be able to pull it off without you. So again, thank you.

My readers: I love you all—well the majority!

To the people reading my story for the sole purpose of bashing it: If you don't like my story, don't like how I have written it, or the decisions I've made in regards to my characters … THEN DON'T READ IT! No one is holding a gun to your head; you are not being forced to read it!

I'm sick of the comments regarding Bella being irresponsible regarding birth control! News flash, NOT EVERYONE CAN BE ON BIRTH CONTROL! NOR DOES EVERYONE HAVE A REASON TO BE ON BIRTH CONTROL. I'm done with the comments. We are 9 chapters in, you don't have all the facts yet so stop being so damn mean, and just negative … basically, if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all… move on now, I don't want you reading my story. I mean honestly, if the story pisses you off, annoys you to that point, what is the sense? All you're doing is wasting your time, and quite frankly, I don't want your reviews. I'm writing this story—as well as all my others—because I want to. Because I actually have readers that enjoy the story, don't feel the need to bash fictional characters, and because they asked me to bring it back.

I'm sorry if I've offended anyone, but I'm done with the shity comments. I won't hesitate to pull the story again, only this time it won't be reposted.

Now with that all said … I don't expect you to always agree with Bella and/or Edward's actions, and I don't mind the comments saying so, but there is a point of venting your opinion and just being plain nasty. You have a right to your opinions, and I honestly value your opinions, but when all I'm getting over and over again from the same readers is pure negativity, no positive, no encouragement to go on, it leaves me to wonder why you are wasting your time. I love my readers that voice their opinion, but in the next breath tell me they love the story and beg me to continue—I truly do!

CHAPTER 9

"Oh! I um …" there was a shuffling sound, followed by silence, before she spat, "Who is this?"

"Bella …"

All was silent for a moment and I started to think maybe his phone had lost the signal.

"Well, Bella, put Edward, the father of my child, on. Now!"

I poked my head out to see what Edward and Masen were doing and found they were no longer in the living room. "Edward's not available right now. He's spending time with his son."

Again, silence.

"Jesus," she finally huffed. "I thought we were done with your homely ass for good. But no, you had to find some way to weasel your way back into his life … God, why can't you just get it? He doesn't want you … and he sure as hell doesn't want that bastard child of yours! If he's even his … Seriously, how pathetic are you?"

I felt like I was going to cry. Not that I actually believed a word she was saying, especially in regards to Masen. Masen was Edward's world, and anyone that's actually saw my son, knew there was no denying he was a Cullen. But she really knew how to cut deep.

Well so do you!

"I'm pathetic? You're the one trying to trap him. News flash, it's not gonna work! The prearranged custody and support agreement wasn't your first clue?"

"Edward's just confused." The bitch really was crazy. I think she actually believed the shit she was spewing. "I'm confident I can change that while I'm with him. At his house. By the time my apartment's ready, I'll be sleeping in his bed, and he won't want me to leave."

"Jesus, Edward was right. You are a crazy bitch …"

"Yeah, well, I'm the crazy bitch that's carrying his daughter …"

Ouch! That hurt.

Yeah well, I gave him his firstborn son. The one that will carry on the Cullen name. So bite me!

She continued her ramblings but I didn't hear most of it, at least until she said, "… he'll get all those first's he missed with your little bastard back, with me and our little Mya…"

Three words kept repeating over and over in my head.

He. Is. Mine!

And I just snapped. It was time to take back what was mine. I wasn't letting this bitch win.

Not again!

"You know what, Tanya?" I sneered into the phone. "You'll be all by your lonesome during your stay at Edward's. You wanna know why? Because he'll be staying here with us. His son and I.

"And as far as all the first's he missed, you're right, if your baby is his, he'll get to see some of those first. I say some, because that's all he'll see, just some of them. However, when our baby is born in October, he'll get to see them all! With me…"

I was shaking I was so mad, but I wasn't quite done with the bitch. "Oh! And Tanya? If you ever call my son a bastard again, the pain you feel during child birth will be nothing compared to what I inflict on you!"

She started to say something but I cut her off. "Now, until paternity is established. STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY BOYFRIEND!" I hit the end button on Edward's phone, tossing it onto the counter.

"Uh, Bella?"

I gasped then slowly turned to face Edward. He was leaning against the wall with an amused look on his face. He looked so damn smug. But so fucking hot!

Bastard!

"Who was that?"

I could feel my face heating up. "Um, Tanya?"

"Hmm," he hummed, nodding, a smirk covering his face. "And what did she want?"

I rolled my eyes, crossing my arms over my chest. "Oh, cut the shit, Edward! Obviously you heard."

He pushed off the wall and stalked towards me. "I heard enough. You know it's not good for you, or the baby, to get worked up like that? Why didn't you give me the phone?"

"Really?" I spat dropping my arms. "That's the only thing you're concerned about? Jesus, Edward …" I picked his cell phone up from the counter and threw it at him. "Why don't you just fucking call her back?"

I tried to walk away, but he grabbed a hold of me, pulling me into his arms. I fought against him for a moment, but then gave up, letting my body relax into him.

"I fucking heard …" he started to say, but Masen caught my attention and I pushed away from him, effectively cutting him off.

"Hey buddy … you probably want some lunch, don't you?"

Masen looked scared and confused as he stood there staring at Edward and I.

Edward stepped back pulling his hand through his hair. "Come on, buddy. Let's go set the table for mommy."

Masen nodded his head shyly, following Edward to the table. I turned on the stove to warm up the now cold macaroni and cheese, and then dished up our lunch once everything was ready again.

We ate in uncomfortable silence that afternoon.

~OOO~

We didn't talk anymore about the phone call for the rest of the day. I figured once we got Masen down for the night we'd discuss it, but then he made like he was gonna leave.

"What? We're not gonna talk about the conversation with Tanya?"

He seemed hesitant for a moment but then spoke. "Do you wanna talk about it?"

I rolled my eyes and plopped down onto the couch. "Stop being an ass, okay? I know you heard what I said to her."

"I heard everything from you telling her I'd be staying here while she stayed at my house, to you telling her to stay the hell away from your boyfriend … what do you want me to say, Bella?"

I sat there stock still staring at him. What did I want him to say? Suddenly I realized I was the only one that held on to any possibility over the years. For Edward, it was over. He didn't want me anymore.

He doesn't want me anymore.

I didn't realize he had sat down next to me until I felt him whipping my tears away. "Bella, you were … did you ... I mean, I …"

A knock at the door interrupted him.

"Expecting someone?" Edward asked. I shook my head. Edward got up to answer the door with me hot on his heels. I stood directly behind him as he opened the door.

"Oh! Is, uh, Bella home?" I heard Jacob ask and cringed internally.

This is bad. Very, very bad.

"And you are?"

"It's okay, Edward." I placed my hand on his back as I stepped around him. "What's up Jake?"

Jake continued to glare at Edward. "I was just gonna see if you were up for a movie night"— he looked to me holding up a DVD—"But you're obviously busy."

"Yeah, sorry Jake." I smiled apologetically. "A rain check?"

Jake didn't seem happy but agreed anyway. "Sure, give me a call."

"Okay, bye Jake."

"See ya, Bella."

I no sooner got the door closed when Edward pinned me against it. He gripped my face in his right hand, and crashed his lips against mine. I whimpered in his mouth when he ground his growing erection against me. I wasn't sure what the fuck had just happened, but I was not about to complain about it! I was beyond fucking horny, and damn it, I wanted him!

He broke the kiss and began trailing kisses to my ear, his other hand slowly moving up and under my shirt. "You are mine, Bella," he ground out, grabbing my breast in his hand.

"Every fucking part of you is mine … always has been mine … YOU'RE. FUCKING. MINE!" He latched onto my neck, and I cried out.

"Bella," he whispered against my neck. "Fuck! Tell me your still mine, baby."

He pulled my shirt over my head, ducking his head to suck a nipple into his mouth as his other hand groped at my other breast. I was a whimpering mess as he worked me into a frenzy with his mouth.

Mmm … his mouth … oh …

"Fucking tell me!" he roared against my breast, bringing me out of my lust induced haze.

Edward slid his hand into my pants, and started gently stroking between my wet folds, his thumb stroking back and forth over my clit. He was pushing me closer to the edge, but not quite over it. He shoved a finger in, and then another before he started pumping them in and out, his thumb still rubbing earnestly on my clit.

Edward bit my nipple, thrusting a third finger in. "Tell me, Bella. Please, baby?"

"Oh, God, Edward," I cried bucking my hips. "I'm yours! All … fuck … yours!"

Edward withdrew his fingers from me, and I bellowed in frustration, I was so close. "NO! Edward, I'm yours … please?"

"Oh, I know you are, baby." Edward smirked. "But don't you think we should take this to the bedroom?"

I blushed. "Oh, um … that would probably be best."

Edward chuckled, grabbing a hold of my hand; he pulled me down the hall and into my bedroom.

As soon as he got the door closed, he pushed me against it; bringing his hands up to box me in. "I meant what I said, Bella," he whispered, brushing his lips against mine as he brought his hand down to knead my breast.

I opened my mouth and pulled his top lip between mine. Edward let out a groan and stepped closer, pushing his rock hard cock against my thigh. I whimpered, nipping and sucking at his lips as he ground his erection into me over and over again.

He moved his hands to cup my face. "You're my girl, Bella. You always have been, and you always will be … you're my family, you, Masen, and little baby boy or girl Cullen in here, are my family."

Tears welled up in my eyes and quickly started falling. Edward quietly wiped them away as he brought his lips back to mine. I whimpered when he pressed himself closer to me.

Edward trailed kisses down my chin. "Edward…"

He moved his lips to my neck, his hands back to my breasts. "Hmm, baby?"

"Wha … what if …oh …"

He sucked forcefully on my neck, while his hands continued their assault on my breasts. My whimpers and cries filled the room, from both the stimulation and the discomfort—my breasts were fucking killing me—but I wasn't about to stop him.

"Ahhh … Edward, we … oh, God ..."—he bit my nipple—"What if … Masen ..."

He brought his left hand down, wrapping it around my waist as he pulled me across the room. "Masen's sleepin' baby … I locked the door ..."

He brought his lips back to mine, in a sweet, innocent, kiss, and suddenly I felt the bed against the back of my legs. He gently lowered me onto it, hovering over me.

I moaned, wrapping my legs around his waist when he bent his head taking a nipple into his mouth.

"Edward, oh … God, you … you locked …"

"Doors locked, baby." Edward breathed against my breast. "I hope you're still good at keeping quiet … we don't wanna wake Masen, now do we?"

His tongue circled my tight bud. "N … no … Edward … please?"

Edward began trailing kisses down my body eventually coming to rest directly above where our baby currently resided. I whimpered as he pulled my pants from me, his lips following the same path. I felt his breath sweep over my wet mound and instinctively bucked my hips.

"P-p-please Edward…?"

And I'm officially begging.

Edward swept his tongue between my wet folds, and I shoved my hips closer to his face. He nipped and sucked at my clit sending bolts of electricity throughout my body.

I cried out when his fingers joined the show. "Fuck! Edward …"

"Hmm …" he hummed smugly against my clit. His fingers stroking in and out of me, as I brought my hands to his head, intertwining my fingers in his hair, keeping him right where I wanted him—at least for the moment.

Edward removed his fingers, and I'm not ashamed to say I whined. Luckily, they were quickly replaced with his tongue.

"Ooh …" I moaned, grinding myself against his face as his tongue stroked in and out. Licking and lapping … in and out ... "Fuck … Edward, oh, God … I'm gonna …"

My head was thrashed from side to side, my grip on his hair tightened when he dragged his teeth over my clit. His tongue lapped at my dripping pussy and I lost any and all hope of holding on.

"Ed-ward…"

I laid there panting, while Edward cleaned up between my legs with his tongue. Once he was sure I was clean, he trailed kisses up my body.

My arms fell limply to my sides, and I was a withering mess of anticipation. The closer he got the worse it was. I couldn't wait to have his lips on mine, his tongue caressing mine…

But Edward stopped at my breast. The kisses turned to gentle nips, the gentle nips turned to full on sucking. I shoved my hands back in his hair, and pulled. Hard.

Edward hissed, but began ascending to my mouth.

I sighed when his lips finally met mine. I could taste myself on him, and that only excited me more.

I wrapped my legs around his waist, and pouted when his jean covered cock rested where I wanted it the most. "Edward," I whined. "Please?"

Edward smirked. "Please what, baby?" I rubbed my once again wet pussy against his groin as explanation, eliciting a hiss from Edward. "Fuck!"

"Please…?" I whimpered helplessly.

"Jesus, Bella," Edward groaned. "How in the hell could I say no to that?"

Edward jumped off the bed, and removed his jeans and boxers in one swift motion before returning to his previous place ... his cock nudging my entrance.

I wrapped my legs around him pulling the head of his cock into my wet warmth.

Edward slowly pushed forward grunting. "Ahh … fuck!" I locked my legs and lifted my hips bringing him the rest of the way in. "Jesus baby!" he hissed, wrapping his left hand around the back of my knee, pulling it up farther. My moans and whimpers quickly filled the room as he picked up his pace.

Lacing the fingers of his right hand into my hair, he brought his lips back to mine in a searing kiss before moving them to pay special attention to the spot just below my ear—the one that made me weak in the knees every time. I was withering away to nothing as he rocked in and out of me, sucking ruthlessly on my neck.

There will definitely be marks there tomorrow.

He brushed the fingers that were in my hair over my sensitive nipple, and then placed another heated kiss on my lips, before pulling back. Pushing my knees up further, he started thrusting with wild abandon.

I stretched my arms up over my head, and grabbed onto the headboard, making him go deeper—if that was even possible.

I'd managed to remain rather quiet verbally so far, only quiet whimpers and moans, the occasional cry escaping me. That was until his finger found my clit and started rubbing fiercely.

"Ooohh … shit ..."

"Fuck, yes! God, Bella … you feel … so good," Edward grunted slamming into me.

"God, Edward … fuck! So good … ooh, so good baby…"

Edward leaned down, attaching his lips to mine, as his fingers latched onto my nipple, pinching. Hard. His mouth muffled my screams as my orgasm rocked through my body. Edward grunted in my mouth, thrusting deep into me and then going perfectly still as his own release surged through him. Edward collapsed to my side gasping for air.

I snuggled into his side panting. "God, Edward … that was …"

"Amazing." Edward panted gently squeezing my breast in his hand. "Do these hurt?"

He let go before I answered. "Um … yeah."

Edward adjusted me so he could look me in the eye. "Why didn't you say anything?"

"Because." I shrugged. "You like them."

"Fuck, baby. I love them!" Edward smiled, bringing his lips to mine. "But that doesn't mean I want you miserable …"

I laughed. "Did I seriously look miserable Edward?"

"Well, no. But …"

"No, no buts'." I shook my head. "Yes, they hurt, but that was the last thing on my mind! Trust me … I was anything but miserable."

I brought my lips to his, kissing him patiently as he pulled me to straddle him.

We spent the next few hours fucking like bunnies, and then eventually we slept.

I startled awake as Edward shifted me off of him to slide out of bed. "Mmm, where are you going?" I whispered, rolling over slightly.

The sheet fell exposing my fully erect nipple making Edward groan. "Home." He leaned down placing a chaste kiss on my lips.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him back to me. "No …"

I was totally whining.

"Believe me baby, I'd love nothing more than to stay, but Masen …"

"You don't want Masen knowing?" I asked sitting up.

"Uh … shit, Bella, I don't know … I mean …"

"Edward," I huffed, stammering out of the bed. "What is this? What the fuck just happened?"

Edward shook his head. "What do you mean?"

I pulled my shirt over my head. "What. Is. This?" I rounded on him. "What are we doing? I swear to God, Edward, if you just fucking played me …"

"Jesus, shut up!" he interrupted. I stood there staring, waiting, so he went on, "I didn't play you, Bella. God, what the hell? Do you really think I'd start something I wasn't planning on following through with? I meant everything I said …"

"Then why are you leaving?"

"Do we really want Masen to catch us in bed together?"

"You're not some random guy I picked up, Edward. You're his father for God's sake …"

"Yeah, I'm well aware of that fact!" Edward spit through clenched teeth. "And so help me God, if you had random guys here while my son was right fucking there, I will beat the living shit out of you!"

"Oh, but it's okay for you to get head right in front of him!?" I screeched turning my back.

Apparently I lost my filter.

Edward fisted a handful of my hair in his hand, yanking as he brought his mouth to my ear. "That's not fucking fair, and you know it! Now, I was leaving, because I didn't figure you'd want to spring too much on him to soon … but if you wanna tell him, fine by me!"

He placed an open-mouthed kiss on my neck, let go of my hair and walked into the bathroom. I stood there dumbfounded—and maybe a bit horny—until he returned.

I still had my back to him when I heard the door open. "Um, Edward?"

He wrapped his arms around my waist, and whispered in my ear, "Yes, my love?"

I shivered. He chuckled kissing up and down my neck.

"I think you may be right …"

He turned my head, nipping at my chin. "Oh, yeah?"

"Uh … huh." I moved my mouth in search of his, which Edward didn't disappoint. I whimpered a bit when his tongue came in contact with mine, his hands gently kneading my breasts.

Edward broke the kiss and whispered against my ear. "Does this hurt…? Do you want me to stop?" A choked whimper escaped when he took my earlobe into his mouth.

"N-n-no … please, Edward." I pushed my ass firmly against his erection.

Edward wasted no time bending me over my dresser.

I'm nervous, but I still want them.
