Bella POV
When I walked back into the living room, I saw Edward laying down on the couch, with Eli sitting on his stomach, putting band aids on ever inch of his forehead.
I couldn't help but smile. I grabbed my camera off of the counter and snapped a picture. Edward and Eli both turned around and smiled up at me.
"Mommy! Edward's sick but I fixed him!"
I first stared at Eli then Edward. Eli had on a cute little grin. Edward on the other hand, had a smile that was stretching from ear to ear. He looked like… a proud father. I couldn't help but laugh again.
"I see that baby girl. He looks a lot better now. You're a good doctor." I said, walking over to the couch and sitting on the arm.
"Edward taught me. I wanna be a Doctor just like him and his Daddy! Can I go to college with you tomorrow Mommy? Edward said you hafta go for lots and lots of years to be a Doctor." There was the look again. The look that works on Jacob. The look that she learned from Jacob.
"Someday you can baby girl. How about today though, you go outside and play with Masen. Don't you want to go play with his new kitten?"
I saw her face drop a little.
"Masen is playing with Edward's brother and sister, he doesn't want to play with me anymore." She said staring down at the box of band aids.
I always thought it was fascinating that Eli and Masen shared such a strong bond, for being opposite sexes. I guess what they say about twins was true. Two bodies but one strong bond.
Edward gathered her up in his arms and kissed her on the cheek.
"Why don't you go outside and ask Rosalie to play dress up with you. I bet she'll do your hair and makeup and everything."
Suddenly her face light up and she looked over at me.
"Can I Mommy?" She said smiling up at me.
There was many reasons why I knew this was a bad thing. First off I didn't want my four year old daughter wearing make up. Plus I was lacking in the make up department. Jake liked the natural look on me, so I didn't have that much make up to start with. And secondly I really didn't want Rosalie to see the upstairs, it was a mess. I would be beyond embarrassed.
"If Rosalie says its ok, then you two can do a make over."
Eli clapped her little hands together, kissed Edward on the cheek, then ran out the door.
Edward sat up, and shifted over to my side of the couch. He grabbed me around the waist and pulled me down to sit on his lap.
"I love you." He whispered into my ear, then kissed the skin right below it. The small gesture sent jolts of electricity through my body. I was barely able to breath out "I love you too." When I heard a throat clearing behind us.
A very beautiful Rosalie stood at the foot of the stairs, holding Eli's hand. I guess she agreed to do it.
"Edward there's little children around. Plus if Emmett sees you two, you'll never live it down. Now Bella, Elizabeth and I are going upstairs, someone has to teach your daughter what fashion is, I better do it before Alice digs her claws into her." She said and floated upstairs.
I turned back to Edward so I was facing him. He kissed my lips again and laugh chuckled against them. "She's right. I'll help you clean up love."
-:- -:- -:-
"Mommy, Mommy! Guess what Emmett showed me to do!" Masen said running into the kitchen. Edward was up to his elbows in dish soap, while I dried. Eli and Rosalie had come down for the "make over" and were now drawing in a Disney Princess coloring book in the living room.
"Should I be scared?" I muttered to Edward. He just shrugged his shoulders, and turned to Emmett. It looked like Emmett was saying something in his mind, then Edward nodded.
"What did you and Emmett do?" I asked, trying not to sound panicked.
"He showed me how to climb up the slide! The Spunky went down the slide. I wanted Emmett to go down, but he said the slide would break."
Well that was a relief, Emmett taught my son something and it had nothing to do with vampires, wolfs, or fire. What a relief that was.
"I told him Daddy would be mad if he broke the slide." Masen said, eyes darting down to the floor.
I looked over at Edward, who stopped washing dishes and listened to Masen's thoughts. A look of concern flashed over his face then quickly disappeared. I was just about to ask what it was, when the phone rang.
I walked over to the phone and looked at the ID. Charlie was calling. Crap I didn't notice it was already 8:15. "It's ok sweetie. How about you go get Eli and go put your Pajamas on. It's time to go back to Pappy's."
Masen disappeared into the living room. I picked up the phone, getting ready to apologize for not being there sooner.
"Hey Dad. Sorry, Esme and Carlisle came over with presents, then Emmett and Rose showed up..." I said starting to ramble off.
"No Bells it's fine. I'm calling to tell you, that...well Jake's been sitting on my porch for the last thirty minutes. I told him to leave but he won't. I threatened to call the cops down, but he still wouldn't budge. I'm telling you, just in case Dr. Cullen plans on coming down...I think its best that he doesn't."
I could feel my blood boiling and my face getting red. Edward grabbed my hand, while Rose and Emmett wandered in. I'm sure they could hear the conversation.
"Tell him to leave!" I all but shouted into the phone.
"Bella I did. I don't want to be causing anymore problems, do you hear me? When you bring the kids back, just please come alone. Please Bella for Eli and Masen, don't make this harder on them."
"Ok, ok. I have the divorce papers for him anyways. We'll leave here in five minutes. Just tell him I'll be there in a couple. Don't mention the divorce papers." I said before hanging up.
I heard the kids running down the stairs, so I pushed passed Edward and walked into the living room. Masen stood with Spunky in his hand, while Eli kept twirling her hair.
"You two ready to go? Say goodbye to Edward, Emmett and Rose."
"I don't want to leave Mommy. Can't I stay here and have a sleep over with Emmett? Pleeease Mommy Please." Masen begged, grabbing onto my pant leg. I looked over at Emmett, who had a big goofy grin on his face. That is until Rosalie back handed him.
"Not tonight little man. Another night though, I promise." Emmett said bending down to Masen's height and tousling his hair. Emmett straightened back up, waved goodbye and left with Rose trailing behind.
"Come on you two lets getting you back to Pappy's, ok?" I said grabbing their bags and enough supply to last Spunky for two weeks. Masen grabbed my hand while holding onto Spunky , while Eli grabbed Edward's.
"Are you coming too Edward?" She asked staring up at him with doe eyes.
"I can't come this time, darlin'. How about I walk you out to the car ."
Eli's face fell, then she gave a half smile, disappointment written all over her face.
When we got out to the car, Edward helped me put the kids in the car, kissing Eli on the forehead, and patting Masen on his head.
"I'll be back in a little. I love you." I said, kissing him on the lips and shutting the door.
-:- -:- -:-
"Mommy look Daddy's at Pappy and Mammy's house!" Masen said jumping up and down in his car seat. "Can I tell him about Emmett and his family? Oh Mommy I want to tell him about the slide!"
I took a look into the review mirror to see Masen's smile.
"Not tonight baby. Daddy doesn't like the Cullens. How about we wait just a little and tell him."
"Ok Mommy. Can I show him Spunky?"
"Sure sweetie."
I unbuckled my seatbelt, then grabbed the bags. Eli and Masen undid their seatbelts and got out of the car. I tried to handle, two backpacks, kitten supplies and two toddles, when my purse slipped.
"You could help me, you know." I shouted over to Jacob. Jacob got up off the steps and walked over to us. First look at his children and a huge smile broke out across his face. I felt a small pain in my heart, Jacob really did love the twins.
"Hey you three. What do you have there Mas?" He said, grabbing a hold of the backpacks.
"Daddy, Daddy! I got a wolf!" He said running into Jake's arms.
"A wolf huh? Mommy bought you a wolf?" He said looking over at me. I picked up Eli and shrugged over at him.
"His name is Spunky! He's gray. Some day he's going to be a HUGE wolf, just like me!"
When we reached the door, I opened it and walked in without knocking.
"DAD?! SUE?! I'm here, I have the twins and Jake decided to drop by, but you already know that."
I heard some footsteps upstairs, then two sets of foot shuffling down the stairs.
"Hey kiddo. What's all this?" Charlie asked, grabbing the kitten supplies.
"Masen has gotten a kitten, as a present today." I said smiling at the thought of Edward and the rest of the Cullen family.
"A kitten huh? Well isn't that nice. Jacob I see you made it off my porch." He said walking over to Spunky and petting his head.
"Yeah sorry bout that Charlie, I knew it was the only way Bella would talk to me…Sue can you take Eli and Masen upstairs to brush their teeth." Jacob said, handing the bags off to Sue.
Eli grasped onto my sweater and whispered into my ear, "Mommy I want to stay with you and Edward. Can't I stay with you and Edward?"
"No sweetie you have to stay here. It's only for a couple of days, then you can come home with me. Now go brush your teeth. I love you."
I placed her down on the floor and looked over at Jacob.
"Jake, we need to talk…outside." I said walking towards the door, Jake only a few steps behind.
When we got out to the porch, I paused on the steps looking out to the yard. I needed to collect myself. I patted my purse to make sure the divorce papers were still safely tucked away.
"I smell them on you and the kids." Jake said, sounding more worried then mad.
"All the Cullens came by today. They surprised me, and well brought the kids presents." I stared into his eyes, I wasn't going to back down. The Cullens weren't a threat, I wish I could make Jake see.
"Well I take it, that the leeches aren't the reason we are having this conversation…what's on your mind."
Jake walked over to wear I was standing and ran his fingers over my cheek, a concern look in his eyes. It was the Jake I missed, the Jake I love. I had to look away, to keep myself from crying. I had to keep myself together, keep myself strong.
"I went to the attorney today. He drew up divorce papers. I have a copy for you to look at with your lawyer. Look over them and we'll have to meet in court….My attorney said they're a lot to do and that…" I couldn't finish though. I felt my eyes start to sting, then tears fall from my eyes.
I felt Jake's warm arms engulf me, as his hand pushed my face into his chest. I didn't want to cry, but the whole divorce was starting to ware on me, and it's barely begun.
"Bella we don't have to talk about this right now. We don't have to get a divorce for awhile. I mean… Danica understands how hard it is…and it's not like that leech is going to pop the question anytime soon."
I pulled away from Jake. I so wasn't having this conversation. "Just here take these Jake and look over them. I'll have my attorney, get in touch with yours." I pulled the papers out of my purse, and handed them over. The pain in his eyes would of killed me, if the situation was different. If he didn't lie to me, cheat on me, hurt me. But he did do those things, and this was the situation we were in.
I shoved past Jake and walked over to the door. Before turning the knob, I turned back around to face Jake. "Stop harassing Charlie…and thank you." I said a small smile pulling at my lips.
"For what?" He asked, sounding confused.
"For not freaking out about the Cullens. I love him Jake, I love them. They were very good with Eli and Masen and they took well to them too." I turned the knob and walked inside.
-:- -:- -:-
When I got back to the house, I walked inside and slowly made my way upstairs.
"Edward?" I asked, taking the steps one at a time, careful not to fall.
When I got to the top of the steps, I saw him standing there waiting for me. "Hello Beautiful." He whispered into my ear, picking me up bridal style. " I know that you were giving Jacob the divorce papers, so I thought you might like a nice relaxing bath."
He took me to the bathroom, were the bath tub was filling up with steamy hot water and bubbles. He placed my feet down on the floor and started to strip me. His hands were gentle on my skin and I welcomed it.
"In." He said, when I was stripped down to nothing. Before my body knew what it was doing, I was up to my neck in hot bubbly water. I felt my muscles relax one by one. Edward pulled up one of the twin's stools and sat on it next to the tub.
"Thank you." I said, closing my eyes, just taking in the steam and the aroma. I stayed in the tub for thirty minutes, before I dragged myself up and toweled off. Holding onto the towel, I made my way to the bedroom, Edward following right behind me.
I pulled back the blankets, sat down and removed the towel. "I've missed you." I said, patting the bed next to me. Edward stripped down to his boxers and climbed into bed. "I've missed you too." He whispered into my ear, before lightly taking my lobe between his teeth.
The feeling made my body come alive, and my stomach clench. I felt his cold lips brush down my neck, then my collarbone, down to my breast. He took his time, kissing each breast equal amounts and made his way down my stomach. When he got to my C- section scar, he kissed it twice and made his way back up to my neck.
"I need you." I managed to get out. Edward chuckled into my neck.
Edward sat himself up and pulled his body so it was cover mine. I felt his erection straining against his boxers. His hands slide down my body and landed on his boxers, pulling them done.
I knew Edward was hesitant at first, afraid to hurt me, when I felt his erection enter my core. He went inch by inch, slow at first, then started to sped up.
I as ready to explode, but knew I had to hold on, for Edward, I wanted him to go first. I tried to focus, by closing my eyes. I reached my hand up and cupped Edward's face. The tempo of our bodies started to increase, and I couldn't hold back anymore. A climax slammed into me, as my walls tighten around Edward. I felt him thrust one more time, before my name escaped his lips and his head dropped into my neck.
"I love you." He whispered and rolled off of me. Dreams soon consumed me.
A/N: I was going to wait, but I couldn't so I decided to just go ahead and post the new chapter. I got a little lemony on the end, I'm determined to get up the nerve to write a really lemony chapter soon. Hope everyone enjoys. I started the next chapter, but its getting late and my niece's 6th birthday party is tomorrow, (and once again I'm sick) so I'll be kinda busy, but I'll try to get the next chapter out asap. Thank you for reading and sticking with me, I love you guys so much! Reviews of course are always welcomed, and brighten my day. Much love.
