Chapter 24

Edward

Months of grueling training have finally come to a damn end. Teaching trainees is as hard as being one yourself. Staying on top of the trainees, waking up early before them and then pushing them past their comfort zone, is a task within itself.

Now it's all over, and all before the New Year. It's taken everything in me to keep my departure a secret from Bella. I even had to convince Jasper and Emmett to do the same. Although everything was indeed going well and my commanding officer confided in me that my team would probably be sent home earlier than planned. I didn't want to give Bella false hope and eventually stress her out.

We're on a plane and should be in Seattle later this evening. This last round of trainees were fucking amazing and now can go out into the world of Marine Special Ops. Thank fucking God. This allows me to go home.

Emmett, Jasper, and I all decide not to say shit and surprise the girls. After talking to Bella on Christmas I think this is perfect. She was happy with all the presents her and the baby received. I ordered a load of shit off the net for both of them.

She's happy with my parents; I can hear it in her voice every time we speak. That was the best fucking decision I've ever made! I wanted to make sure she and the baby were comfortable and taken care of while I was away. She hasn't mentioned her parents, and I haven't asked, but I'm sure it's not the last we will hear from them.

I pull out my phone and look down at my screen saver-the latest ultra-sound of my son. The small writing in the corner says "Isabella Cullen" and makes me smile. It makes me happy seeing her with my last name.

Emmett nudges my shoulder. "Bella's going to be so fucking excited. What does she think is happening? I told Rose maybe next week."

"I told Bella the same. I wanted all of our stories to match up." I look down at my phone and zoom in on my son.

"I'm getting a ring tomorrow," Jasper says, smiling down at my son from the other side of me.

We are currently crammed together in a long row of soldiers trying to make it back to Seattle.

I look over at him smiling my ass off. "No shit?"

"I'm going to. Leaving Rose was so fucking hard. Damn, I just want her by my side forever," Emmett says, sitting back in his seat.

I look down at my son on the screen, running my fingers across the outline of his face. "Damn, I guess by this time next year there will be more babies."

What a difference a few months has made. The last time we flew in we were all bachelors; now we're all tied down to the loves of our lives.

~Dream~

As soon as we land, our entire team is pulled into a briefing room. Something doesn't feel right, and I'm desperate to grab a vehicle and get to my wife and child.

"Attention!" We all stand up and salute the General who is entering the room.

"At ease!" he says, standing in front of us.

We all sit down; everyone is a little nervous because we thought we would, at least, be on the road by now.

"Men, there's a high-level hostage situation that we just received word of while you were in the air. I'm sorry to have to do this, but with all other units in the Middle East, we will need your immediate departure. Sargent Thomas will brief you on the situation."

My heart plummets in my fucking chest I told Bella we would have a Skype date tonight, but I was really hoping that me showing up would be the surprise.

Fuck. My. Life.

We are briefed on the situation: we leave at twenty-two hundred hours. There is only one plane on base, and that's the one we came in on. Once the briefing is done, I lock myself in a private office, and pull out my computer to FaceTime Bella.

The hole in my chest is just as large as the day I had to leave her, and now I have to tell her I'm not coming home. The fucked up part is I can't tell her where we're going and have no idea of when I'll be back.

It rings a few times before she answers. She steps back, smiling and showing off her sexy-ass body. She's wearing a lace tank top and matching panties. Her belly is large and round with my son.

"You like?" she purrs out as she twirls around.

The view of her delectable ass is driving me fucking crazy. "Damn baby, you're making this hard on me."

"Oh, I know it's hard, but you'll be inside your pussy before you know it." She bites her lip. Damn I love it when she's horny like this.

I groan loudly, adjusting my growing erection. "Tiny, can you put on some clothes? I need to talk to you."

She walks over and picks up her robe off of the bed, wrapping it tightly around herself.

"Baby, can you get Mom and Dad so I can speak to you all together?"

I can see her body start to tremble through the small screen, and I feel like fucking shit.

"Edward, what's going on?" she asks with tears in her eyes.

I let out a frustrated sigh and tug on my hair, feeling like a fucking failure to my family. I'm supposed to be surprising her not breaking her fucking heart.

"Baby, please go and get Mom and Dad." I practically beg before I lose it and break down crying.

She disappears briefly and I take the time to try to compose myself. Nothing helps and I end up practically pulling my damn hair out.

"Son, is everything alright?" My dad's voice stops my torture on my hair.

I look up to find both my parents flanking Bella; knowing she's not alone gives me some solace.

"No, we're being sent on a mission tonight. I could be gone a few months. I'm not sure. Everything is still not clear, and I can't tell you any more than that."

Bella starts to sob uncontrollably. My mom starts crying quietly next to her. Dad tries to calm them both down wrapping his arms around them.

"What is the mission? Where are you going?" he asks, simply, but I can't tell him shit and it frustrates me even more.

I let out a breath. "I can't tell you that, Dad. It's top secret. We just got a small piece of the information and will get the rest on the flight I just wanted to say good-bye…"

Bella breaks down, her body shaking with her grief. The sight of her so heart-broken is killing me.

"Tiny, please look at me baby." I'm begging, my tears now falling down my face.

"No Edward! I thought you were coming home, and now you tell us you have to go on some top-secret mission to God knows where and for who knows how long. I really hate the fact that I'm on a need-to-know basis when it comes to my husbands whereabouts!" she yells out, her grief over taken by anger.

Mom bends down and rubs circles on her pregnant belly. "Bella, you need to calm down. You don't need to upset yourself. Edward will be safe and get back to us as soon as the mission is over."

"Cullen, we're moving out!" I turn when there's a knock at the door.

"I have to go, Mom, Dad, I love you. May I speak to Bella alone?" I try to give them a smile, knowing this is just as hard on them as it is on Bella and me.

My mom leans toward the computer and presses her fingers to the screen in a kiss.

"You come home to us as soon as you can sweetheart. I love you." My mom says causing me to get choked up.

"I love you, too, Mom."

"Watch your back out there, Edward. Love you son," my father says, wiping his eyes.

"I love you, Dad," I barely say, watching them leave the room.

When it's just Bella and I alone, she falls apart. Her body shakes with her sobs, and my own fucking tears fall freely. My shoulders shake as I try not to say fuck it all and go be with my wife. I'm forty-five minutes away from her but it feels like a whole fucking ocean is separating us.

"Baby, I gotta go. I love you and our son so fucking much." I wipe at my tears and look up at her.

"We love you too, Daddy," she says through her tears.

I groan. For some reason every time she calls me Daddy it turns me the fuck on.

"Can Daddy see your tits before I go?" I ask, trying to hold on to the moment.

She opens her robe and lifts her top. Fuck, she looks so damn good pregnant with my son.

"Damn, pregnancy is good to you. I'll have them in my mouth real soon baby."

"I'm counting on it."

"Cullen!"

I turn towards the closed door a little pissed off.

I turn back to Bella, "Take care of yourself and my son. I'll see you soon. Love you Tiny."

"I love you too. Always." She gives me a small smile before I press 'End'.

"Yes?" I ask as I practically yank the door off it's hinges.

The Marine on the other side takes a step back a little shocked at my anger.

"The plane is being worked on, Sir. It will not be ready for at least three-hours, The Lieutenant wanted me to inform you right away," he says a little nervously.

"Thank you." I dismiss him and then go in search of Jasper and Emmett.

If we have three hours before we go on this mission for God knows how long, I know just how to spend the time.

~~Dream~~

Reaching my parents' house, I park the jeep we borrowed and walk up the steps with excitement running through my blood. It's late and I know everyone is sleeping. It's pitch dark as I climb the stairs; years of sneaking in and out as teenager, gives me knowledge of the house in the dark no one else has.

Walking into my old bedroom, I stop and stare at my sleeping wife. She looks so damn beautiful, lying on top of the covers, her belly prominent, her hair flowing over the pillow.

Breath-taking.

I quickly take all my clothes off and crawl up the bed. My hands skim up her body and then ghost over her lace panties. Bella lets out a moan as I massage her pussy.

Kissing where my son lies safely sleeping in her belly, I say, "Hey, EJ. It's Daddy."

I stop to greet my son and then continue to move up Bella's body taking her tank top with me.

"Damn baby, your naked pregnant body is turning me the fuck on. I really wanted to cherish you and take my time, but I think I'm going to give it to you nice and hard." I bend down and kiss her lips.

"Damn, Tiny, I'm going to fuck that tight pussy of yours so good. My cock is seeping at just the thought of being inside of you after all this time."

"Sarge…"

I crash my lips to hers, kissing her hard. Moving to her breast, I take a nipple into my mouth. She arches her back offering herself up to me.

"You missed Daddy, huh, baby? You want me to fuck your tits until I come all over them marking you as mine? I think this swollen belly and that ring on your finger already make you mine."

"Always," she moans out as I insert a finger into her wet pussy.

"Hmmm … My pussy is nice and tight and waiting for Daddy's cock to ram it."

She screams out as I roughly push into her. Then I bring my fingers out and up into my mouth.

"God damn it Bella! I have to taste you right now, baby."

She's shaking her head back and forth, while I push her legs open preparing to lick her pussy.

"No Edward! I want your cock inside of me now! Please Sarge, before I wake up."

I smile at her. She's so fucking cute; she thinks she's dreaming. I'll wake her up soon enough. I dive into her pussy enjoying the taste of her on my mouth after months of being apart.

"Damn, you smell so fucking good, Tiny. I missed my pussy. I missed licking it."

Her hands shoot into my hair as I feast on her.

"I missed sucking on your plump little clit."

I take her clit into my mouth and suck on it hard causing her to scream out in pleasure.

"Oh fuck Sarge! So good! I miss you."

"I miss you too, Tiny, more than you can possibly imagine."

I start fucking her with my tongue while rubbing on her clit. She comes on my tongue and I lick up her middle enjoying the taste of her.

"I want you to squirt in my mouth, baby. You know how that shit turns me on. Just the thought of your sweet pussy juices dripping down my chin has my cock aching."

I dive back into the pussy licking and sucking for dear life. Taking her clit, I gently bite down and cause her to squirt.

"Hmm! You taste soo fucking good Tiny." I groan as I continue to drown myself in her essence.

I bury myself back into her dripping wet pussy to lick up every drop.

"Oh, fuck, baby. I missed your pussy so much. Missed the taste of it, the smell of it."

I crawl up her body licking and biting as I go. Reaching her lips, I kiss her hungrily.

"Sarge, don't let me wake up from this dream. You feel so real. Miss you so damn much." She's begging me.

I lift her leg and line my cock. "You're not dreaming, beautiful."

Pushing into her wet pussy, I still inside of her before I come prematurely. She arches her back and pulls me into her for a kiss.

"Fuuuuck it's good to be home in your tight little pussy Tiny. Fuck baby, I need you to come quick. It's been four months since I've had your pussy juices on my cock and I don't know if I'm going to last, baby."

"So good Sarge! So fucking real! Best dream ever. Oh Edward! Edward! I love you!" she cries out in pleasure.

I want to tell her I'm real, that I'm really here and buried so deep inside of her, but I can't find the fucking words.

I pull her other leg up and ram into her repeatedly, chasing my orgasm.

"Damn it Bella! You make a motherfucker want to go AWOL and just live in the pussy. I love you, too baby. Give me that fucking hot mouth of yours."

She offers me her tongue and I suck on it, careful not to put my weight on her protruding stomach. She moans loudly as I pinch her clit causing a fresh gush of liquid to cover my cock.

"That's it Tiny, cream Daddy's dick. I'm about to come in my pussy. Milk my cock baby. Fuck! Yeah Tiny."

She clenches my dick and at the same time my phone starts ringing. I told one of the other guys to call me when the plane was ready to go.

Suddenly, feeling the urgency, I flip Bella over so that she's on top of me.

"I gotta go baby so I need you to ride my cock fast and furious."

Taking her hips, I guide her up and down on my cock. She starts moving, tilting her head back in pleasure. I grab her breast and massage her nipples.

"Damn, look at what being pregnant with my son is doing to your body. I'm keeping you fucking pregnant. Ride Daddy's cock, Bella."

The phone starts ringing again. "I need you to come Tiny, I gotta go."

"No Sarge! Don't fucking leave me. Never want to wake up…"

I sit up and suck a nipple into my mouth, pulling her down onto my cock hard.

Her body shivers as her orgasm hits her hard, "Oh! Fuck, Sarge. So Good! Oh, Edww-aa-rr-dd!

"Yeah, baby! I'm coming, Oh Bella! Damn! Your pussy is so fucking good I'm going to be dreaming about it until I'm in it again."

Her body falls on mine and I roll us over so that she's in the bed. I pull the cover up around her and kiss her lips. The phone keeps ringing, and I take a deep breath, readying myself to say good-bye.

"I have to go Bella. I love you so much baby and I miss you more than anything in this world," I whisper against her lips.

"Edward…"

"Yeah, baby?"

I start getting dress, staring at how fucking cute she looks.

"I love you … best dream ever."

I laugh I can't believe she still thinks she's damn dreaming. Leaning down, I grab her face in my hand.

"Tiny, open your eyes." She looks up at me and I stare into her beautiful brown eyes.

"This is not a dream, baby. It's all real. Can't you feel it? Can't you feel how much I love you?" I kiss her lips again before she falls back to sleep.

I look around and find a piece of paper on the dresser to write her a note. Once the note is done, I walk back over to her bending down to press my lips to her pregnant belly. My son kicks me in my mouth and I let out a little chuckle.

"I love you too, buddy, take care of your mommy for me."

I kiss my girl one last time and pick up my ringing phone and quietly leave our room.

"Cullen… Yeah, I'm on my way."

I turn around to find my Mom and Dad both staring at me as if they saw a ghost. Shit, Tiny and I must have woken them up.

"Edward! What are you doing here?"

My mother rushes over to me and gives me a hug with tears in her eyes as my father walks up behind her smiling ear to ear.

"I thought maybe your wife was going crazy."

I laugh at his comment as my phone rings.

"No, I was actually going to surprise all of you when we were told about this new mission. I've been on base a few hours now." My ringing phone reminds me that I still have to go get Emmett and Jasper. I have to go. The plane is up and running now. I love you both—take care of my girl and my son. "

My dad pries my mother from my body as she continues to cry. If Bella didn't think it was all a dream I swear she would be the same way and that shit would tear my heart out.

"Of course we'll take care of Bella and the baby. They are just as precious to us as they are to you," my mother says as I squeeze her shoulder.

I pat my dad on the back and then run down the stairs to rush off to my unknown fate. One thing I know is I'm getting back to my little family no matter what; failure is not a fucking option.
