***STEPHENIE MEYER OWNS ALL THINGS TWILIGHT***

A/N: You guys are awesome! I'm so glad ya'll like this story and are following it and reviewing. It's time for the beat down…..

EPOV

Retribution. That's an interesting word in itself. When I heard the cell door click behind me all I could see in front of me was the sorry bastard that dared to put his hands on my wife and my unborn child. Retribution.

"HUNTER! On your feet you sorry son of a bitch!" I walked over to him and grabbed him by the collar on his orange jumpsuit. Before I could stop myself, I threw him against the cell wall and pinned him there with my body. I was going on pure adrenaline and even I didn't recognize my voice. He reached up and put his hand in my hair and began to tug. I raised my knee and swiftly caught him in the nuts.

"You disgusting motherfucker." He had fallen to the ground and I was right behind him straddling him as I punched him in the face alternating left and right hand punches. All he could do was put his hands over his face. This only served to piss me off more. Slapping his hands away I grabbed his collar again and brought his bloody face inches from my own.

"Let me tell you something you dickless bastard, I warned you. I gave you a chance to leave my wife alone. But you didn't listen. You pursued her and made passes at her and had she told me I would have ended you then and there. But when you put your slimy motherfucking hands on her, you made one fatal mistake. YOU. HURT. WHAT. IS. MINE. And Hunter, that just will not do." I slammed his head against the concrete floor over and over until he was limp in my arms. That's when I felt Charlie pulling me off him, telling me to calm down. Through the entire thing, James never said a word. I stood up and stepped away from him and from Charlie. I was in such a rage I knew that if Charlie came close to me I would inadvertently hit him and I didn't want to do that. I was still seeing red when I noticed that Emmett, Jasper, and Jake had come into the cell. Jake was picking James up from the floor and applying pressure to a gash on the back of his head. I stood in the corner of the cell just watching. As James became more aware of what had just occurred he looked up at me and smirked. In an instant, Charlie landed a right hook directly on his jaw, the loud crunching sound along with James' howl of pain assured me it was broken. Now it was my turn to smirk.

I still wasn't satisfied. Yeah, I got to beat on him, I made him bleed, but I wasn't finished. I walked over to where he was laying back on the ground after Charlie punched him. I wanted him to look at me one more time so I could knock the cocky smirk off his face.

"Look at me you piece of shit. It's your lucky day. I'm not going to kill you. Although it does sound quite tempting. No, I'd rather know that you are going to prison for a good long while. You know what inmates absolutely despise?" I was holding his head up by his hair and making him look at me. "Inmates hate cops. Even better, they hate BAD cops. And when they find out that you tried to rape a pregnant woman and could have caused her to lose her child, well, they don't take too kindly to that either." I kicked him forcefully in the stomach. "That one is from me Asshole." Before he could react again, I kicked him more forcefully in the ribs hoping to shatter them. "And that one is for Bella. I can't wait to see you in prison James. I can't wait for you to be somebody's bitch!" For good measure, I slammed my fist into his jaw one more time. He winced in pain and finally uttered some words.

"OK CULLEN! STOP! I FUCKING GOT THE POINT. PLEASE…LEAVE ME ALONE." He was spitting blood and wheezing pretty bad. A satisfied smile spread across my face knowing that meant I had indeed broken a few ribs. Jasper reached out and grabbed my shoulder.

"Come on Edward. That's enough. He looks awful. It's a pity he was being so uncooperative when we tried to serve him dinner. I mean, first he resisted arrest and now this. Well, you'd think he'd know to behave but he just can't help himself it would appear. And you know, we had to defend ourselves." He smiled at me and I caught on. Apparently that was our story and we were sticking to it.

I turned and took one more look at James and he looked truly defeated. He looked like he had gotten his ass kicked. It was nowhere near what I wanted to do to him, but we did have to keep it to a minimum to avoid trouble. There was only so much Sgt. Cheney could explain away.

We went back to Cheney's office and Emmett brought in an ice pack for my hands. I hadn't noticed until now that my knuckles on both hands were badly bruised and bleeding. Now that the fight was over, I was coming down from my adrenaline high and began to shake badly. Charlie noticed.

"Calm down kid. It's all over now. You showed him what you are made of and he knows now how big of a mistake he made. Let's get you home to my daughter." He patted me on the shoulder and with that I had a new respect for Charlie Swan. Not only was he my father in law, but I respected him even more as an officer of the law. Plus, Charlie had a damn fine right hook. I couldn't wait to get home to Bella.

BPOV

They had been gone for a little over two hours. Alice and I tried to watch a movie, but I couldn't get into it. I was so worried about Edward getting hurt. More so, I was worried about what he would do to James. I didn't want his anger to end his career. Edward was a damn fine Trooper. He truly cared about his job and it would be a shame to ruin that. I was in the kitchen getting a bottle of water when I saw the headlights of Edward's truck pull into the driveway. My heart sped up and I called out to Alice that they were here. Within a few minutes Edward and my Dad came in through the garage entrance. I launched myself at Edward.

"Edward! Baby are you ok? Are you hurt? What happened?" He caught me in mid-air and placed his arms under my ass to hold me up while I wrapped my legs around his waist.

"It's ok Darlin' I'm fine. Everything is fine." He was stroking my hair and nuzzling his face in my neck. For a brief moment, I forgot that my father and Alice were in the room.

"Bells, everything is good. No worries. Edward here was the perfect gentleman. He simply told James that what he did was unacceptable and would be dealt with accordingly." Yeah, my dad was full of bullshit. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Edward had most likely beaten the hell out of James and I wasn't so sure my father hadn't helped.

"Thank you Charlie. Bella, your daddy is right. I was a gentleman." He set me back down on my own feet and when he pulled his hands away from me, I grabbed them back and noticed the knuckles on both his hands were bruised and swollen. Still holding his hands, I looked up at him and quirked a brow then looked back down at his hands. The bastard smirked at me and winked while he turned to the refrigerator to grab a beer. Tossing my father one too, he took a big swig and proceeded to burp loudly. This made everyone giggle except Alice.

"Very classy brother….very classy. I'm gonna head home now that you guys are back. Jazz is off shift soon and I want to spend some time with him before he has to go back on in a few hours." She hugged me goodbye and I thanked her for staying with me.

"Well Bells, Edward, I think I'm gonna turn in for the night. Been a long, interesting day. I'm pretty beat." He looked at Edward and both of them cracked up. Inside joke I'm sure. So it appeared that my father and my husband had bonded. I was happy about it although the circumstances that caused it left a little to be desired. I was ready to curl up in bed with my Trooper Fuckhot and forget the name James Hunter once and for all.

THREE MONTHS LATER- BELLA IS 6 MONTHS PREGNANT

EPOV

Bella and I had settled into her pregnancy pretty easily. The nightmare that was former Trooper James Hunter was finally over. He had been basically barred from law enforcement for the rest of his pathetic life and charged with aggravated assault of a police officer. Even though Bella isn't a Trooper or a patrol officer, she is a police dispatcher and as such in the eyes of Texas law, she is considered a police officer. Because Bella was pregnant at the time of the assault, he was also charged with an additional assault charge on our unborn child. All the charges bumped him up to a third degree felony and he was sentenced to ten years in a Texas prison. There was a chance he would be out in five but I felt sure that he wouldn't behave in prison for that to happen. Hopefully he would become some guy named Spike's bitch. James was a pretty boy and a bad cop, so I was sure he would find some prison love.

Today we were setting up our nursery. At her last appointment, Bella had an ultrasound and we were able to determine that our baby would be a girl. I can't even describe the feelings I have had at becoming the father of a little girl. I could only hope she was as beautiful as her mother. Although, that did mean I would have to make sure all my shotguns were in working order so I could run off all these little hard dicked boys that would be showing up at my door to take my daughter out. I was one of them, so I know how they think. She will not be dating until she's at least thirty five years old.

I was painting the nursery walls pink today by Bella's request. Because of the paint fumes that would be spreading throughout the townhouse, Alice had taken Bella shopping for baby things. They were picking out the crib and all the bedding as well as furniture. I had to admit, I was pretty excited about the nursery and I couldn't wait to see what it was going to look like. After about four hours, I was done painting and decided to go into town and grab a bite to eat. I needed a shower first though. It wouldn't look good for Trooper Edward Cullen of the Texas Department of Public Safety to go around town with baby girl pink paint in his hair. I laughed at my own ridiculousness as I stepped into the shower.

Bella and Alice returned later that evening with a car load of baby items. A delivery truck was going to bring the big stuff tomorrow. When I met them at the door, Bella looked exhausted.

"Edward, you never told me your sister was a ball of unlimited energy. My feet hurt, my back hurts, and my boobs hurt. I just want to get this baby out of me already." She wrapped her arms around my neck and I tried to support her weight as much as possible to give her some relief. Bless her heart, she was only six months pregnant and already hurting like this, I couldn't imagine what the next three months would bring. Bella is a tiny woman and apparently being pregnant was taking its toll on her small frame. Plus the fact that my sister is exactly what Bella said, a ball of unlimited energy, the day had gotten the better of Bella.

"Go upstairs baby, and I'll run you a hot bath. Then I'll give you a full body massage. After all, it's my fault you are in this condition." I wiggled my eyebrows at her and kissed her chastely. Alice rolled her eyes as she stood behind Bella watching us.

"I'm sorry I ran you ragged today Bella. I hope you aren't too mad at me." Alice stuck her bottom lip out and blinked her blue eyes quickly over and over.

"No, Alice it's fine. I had a lot of fun today. I just didn't rest enough between stores. Thanks for everything. You're the best." Bella hugged Alice tightly and excused herself to go upstairs. I thanked my wonder twin and showed her out the door quickly so I could get upstairs to run Bella's bath. When I walked into our bedroom, Bella was laying on her side nearly asleep. I almost hated to wake her but I knew a hot bath would make her feel better.

Once the water was done, I lit some aromatherapy candles all over the bathroom and turned on some soft music. I walked back out to our bed and knelt down beside my sleeping angel.

"Bella, sweetheart, your bath is ready. Come on darlin' and I'll help you get undressed." She sat up and smiled lazily at me.

"Will you get in with me Fuckhot? I wanna feel your hot body against my back." I was speechless. A moment ago she was dead to the world and now she was trying to seduce me. God this woman was perfect for me!

"Of course I will baby. You know I will never pass up an opportunity to get your naked body anywhere near me. Especially lately when you look so insanely beautiful carrying my child." I kissed her deeply as I scooped her up in my arms and carried her to the bathroom.

"You're perfect Edward. I couldn't ask for a better husband or a better man. You take such good care of me and I know you're going to be an incredible father." I touched Bella gently on the cheek as I removed her shirt and bra. She removed the rest of her clothes and stood bare before me. I took just a moment to really look at her. There was a gentle curve to her spine now to accommodate her growing belly. I couldn't help myself. I ran my hands all over her stomach, caressing her soft skin and relishing in the fact that our daughter was inside her body. Bella was making sure our little girl had the best start possible and taking extra special care of herself. I marveled at the miracle that was womanhood. To be able to grow an entire human being inside your body and give life to it, well, I was speechless. I hated to admit that I was jealous of the relationship that Bella already had with our little miracle. I knew our baby would know my voice just as well as she would her mother's, but I was finding myself always talking to or touching Bella's stomach. To sum it all up, I was in awe of my beautiful wife.

"God Bella, I can't tell you how much I admire you. I mean, I have always thought you were the most beautiful woman on the planet, and I never dreamed you could be more beautiful. But baby, seeing you pregnant and glowing and full of my child, it's enough to bring me to my knees Sweetheart. I just want you to always know how grateful I am and how much I absolutely cherish you to the ends of the earth. Thank you for giving me everything I never knew I could have." I kissed her warmly on the mouth as I stepped into the bathtub, holding my hand out to assist her in getting in. When she sat down, I felt and heard her crying softly.

"Bella, honey are you ok? What's wrong?" I felt panic beginning to set in.

"Nothing is wrong. Are you kidding me? You just tell me the most precious, heart-warming, beautiful thing you have ever said to me and think I'm not going to bawl like a baby?" She reached back and playfully swatted me on the chest.

"Well, it's how I feel. It's how I've been feeling. Christ Almighty Bella, I think I'm turning into a woman or something. I'm so emotional lately. I have never felt like this." Now my wife was laughing at me. "Hey, what's funny?"

"It's nothing Trooper. I think you are having sympathy hormones or something. I think it's adorable." She kissed me deeply. Before I knew it, she had turned in my arms and was straddling my now rock hard cock. The moan that escaped her lips when I gently raised my hips to meet her grinding core was more than I could bare. Slowly and gently, I raised her slightly and slipped into her tight wet heat. Our simultaneous moans were loud and in perfect sync.

"Fuck Bella, you feel like heaven on my cock. Does that feel good sweetheart? Do you like it when I get so hard for you? Only you Bella, this cock belongs to only you." I nipped at her neck and sucked on the spot behind her ear that I knew drove her insane.

"Mmmm yes Edward. Yes baby. God you make me feel so good." She threw her head back as I ran my hands behind her neck and gently held her there to support her. This pushed her beautiful and very full breasts directly into my waiting mouth. I knew her nipples were tender so I was as gentle as possible, only barely flicking my tongue against them.

"You look so beautiful riding me baby. Your tits are so luscious and full. Bella Cullen, you are absolute perfection." I grabbed her by the hips and started to move her up and down more firmly, needing more friction. Her breathing began to get more ragged and her moans were getting louder. I knew she was close. Thank fuck for that because I was about to blow my load like a thirteen year old boy watching his first porno. This woman did things to me that I never imagined were possible.

"Yeah Fuckhot….come on…make me cum Edward. Fuck me hard….please…I need more."

"Oh you want more huh? You wanna see stars darlin'? You wanna cum so hard you can't see straight? Because you know I..thrust…can…thrust…do…thrust…it…thrust."

"Oh fuck Edward…I'm gonna…cu…." She clamped down on my cock harder than ever before and it sent me spiraling over the edge with her. Water was sloshing out of the bathtub over the sides and I was gripping her hips harder than I probably should have been as we both came down from our highs.

"Shit baby. God that was amazing." I rested my forehead against hers for a moment.

"It was very amazing. You are amazing Mr. Cullen."

TWO MONTHS LATER – BELLA IS NEARLY 8 ½ MONTHS PREGNANT

BPOV

"Edward, baby can you please come here?" I was sitting on our bed desperately trying to tie my own fucking shoes. After twenty minutes I had given up. That shit was just not happening with the huge belly I was sporting.

"Whatcha need gorgeous?" My fuckhot husband walked into the bedroom looking every bit the GQ model he always had.

"Can you please tie these cock sucking shoes? I can't reach my damn feet." It seemed that the more pregnant I became the bigger potty mouth I had. Edward wasn't able to hide the grin on his perfect face.

"Baby, why don't you just wear some slip on shoes? It would be a lot easier…"

"If you don't want to fucking help me just fucking say so. You don't have to be a total bastard Edward fucking Cullen." Geez, I was even getting on my own damn nerves. This kid seriously needed to come out of me.

"I'm sorry Sweetness, I wasn't trying to be a bastard." He knelt down on the floor and obediently tied my shoes. Ugh I'm such a bitch and he's all like 'no problem baby, I love you gorgeous, you're so beautiful Bella…'

"No, I'm sorry Trooper. I don't mean to be such a bitch to you. Honestly, I just feel miserable. Please forgive me." I cupped his face and gave him a sweet kiss on his lips.

"Sweetheart, you are carrying my child. You're under a lot of stress and you never feel good. I understand baby. I really do. No worries."

EPOV

I was very close to smothering Bella in her sleep. God love her, she was the devil incarnate lately. I tried to be understanding, I really REALLY tried. I let her take out her frustrations on me and I just dealt with it. I figured it was the least I could do since she was giving me a beautiful daughter very soon. One thing that I found hilarious, and I know I'm going directly to hell for it, is the fact that Bella's mouth had gotten so dirty lately. Every other word was a cuss word. And I'm not talking about the standard 'shit' or 'ass', no, my Bella was dropping F bombs, cocksucker-this, motherfucking whore-that. It was almost comical. But one day last week, shit got serious.

Bella had been trying to cook dinner. Her feet were swelling by the end of each day and her doctor had told her to stay off them as much as possible. But my Bella is hard headed and stubborn and when she decides she wants to do something, well, there's no stopping her. I had come home from work with some really good grilled chicken salads from a little café down the road from us. We often ate there and I knew Bella loved that salad. She was supposed to be resting, so I never dreamed she would be cooking.

FLASHBACK

"Sweetheart, I'm home." I walked into the kitchen and found Bella standing over the stove stirring some sort of sauce. "Baby, what are you doing?"

"What does it look like I'm doing Sherlock? I'm cooking supper." She smirked at me over her shoulder.

"Oh, well…um…I stopped at The Busy Bee and got us a couple of the grilled chicken salads you love. Sweetie, Dr. Amun wanted you to take it easy and stay off your feet."

"Yes EDWARD. I know what the doctor told me. I am well aware that I need to stay off my feet. I don't need you reminding me about how fat and ugly I look. I know I have cankles! Look, you can't see where my calves end and my ankles begin. CANKLES!" And with that, she bursts into tears. I stood there dumbfounded and wondered what just happened.

"Baby, I think you look beautiful! You are so gorgeous. I love how you look pregnant with my child. In fact, I think I want to keep you pregnant." As soon as I said it, I knew I was fucked. You know that horror movie where the chick spews the green puke and her head goes all the way around? I swear Bella just did that.

"You want to WHAT?" She is glaring at me and I carefully cup my junk in my hands in preparation for her attack.

"Bella, I didn't mean it like that. I just meant.."

"Oh I know what you meant Trooper Not So Fuckhot." She stalked toward me as quickly as she could. Once she was right in front of me, she pulled something out of the pocket of the apron she was wearing. When she held it up in front of me, I felt the breath leave my body and I could feel the perspiration beading up on my forehead.

"Come on honey, there's no need for that. I didn't mean anything other than you are the most beautiful I have ever seen you when you are preparing to give life to our little girl."

"Never forget that this little tube of Super Glue is always near me. Fuck with me Trooper. I fucking dare you."

END OF FLASHBACK

I shudder thinking about that day. Bella apologized profusely afterwards, blaming her raging hormones. Still, I slept with one eye open in the nights that followed. I wasn't eager to relive the ESGI any time soon.

Bella and I were going for our nightly walk around the neighborhood. Once we got her shoes on and tied, she relaxed quite a bit and leaned into me as we walked.

"You know baby, I wanted to tell you how much I love you. I haven't been the easiest to live with lately and you have been an absolute jewel." She pulled on my hand to get me to stop walking and turned me to face her.

"Sweetheart, I love you more than my own life. There's nothing I wouldn't do for you. If I could go through this for you I would in a heartbeat." I kissed her deeply. She began to run her hands through my hair and gently scratch my scalp. Pretty soon our kiss began to heat up. I decided we should probably head back home. I didn't really want to make love to my gorgeous wife on the sidewalk in our neighborhood.

"Mmm Trooper, is that your gun in your pocket?" She palmed my erection and gently began to rub it.

"Come on Hot Mama, we need to get back to the house before we both get charged with public lewdness."

As soon as we made it inside the front door, clothes started getting thrown in all directions. The best thing about Bella's pregnancy was that she was extremely horny. I benefited greatly from this.

"I'm going to spend a couple minutes in the bathroom and get cleaned up Trooper. Light some candles and I'll be right out."

"You got it Darlin'. Don't keep me waiting long." I swatted her on the ass as she closed the bathroom door.

Moments later I was lighting the last candle when I heard Bella calling me. Her voice was a faint whisper.

"Sweetheart, is everything ok in there" I was standing at the bathroom door just as Bella opened it. She looked very pale and her eyes were wide with what I assumed to be fear. My heart was in my throat.

"Edward, my water just broke."

A/N: Uh oh! It's almost time to meet our Little Trooperette! I'd love to hear your suggestions about baby names. I have a couple in mind but haven't decided what to name her yet. Of course, if I use a suggestion from one of you guys you will be credited. Stay tuned!
