So this should have been out on Friday but Fan Fic wasn't letting me post! Thank you to Pears 13 and il_bel_mondo for helping me keep my sanity and realize that it wasn't just my computer! It might not be as good as some of my others but I have had kids home with the stomach flu all week and now a husband that's just as bad as the kids when he gets sick. I've tried to get some writing time in but it's been hard but I promised a Friday update so here you go. I hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any of the characters. That honor goes to the wonderful and talented Stephenie Meyers. I do however own my really awesome tickets to go see Daughtry in concert in May! I'm so excited! When I found out this week that he was coming to Green Bay I almost had a heart attack. Thank god I didn't but I did scream like a little girl!!!

EPOV

I woke up in the morning with Bella draped across me which has become my new favorite way to sleep. She was beautiful in the morning with her hair all over the place and such an innocent look on her face. I slipped out from underneath her arms and went to take a quick shower. My thoughts drifted back to last night. She fits in so well with my family it's amazing. She laughs and teases Emmett just like he was her own big brother and she talks and smiles with Alice just like she was her sister. I couldn't wait to make things official and ask her to be my wife.

I hurried in the shower knowing that I needed to get to the jewelers today so that I could get her ring taken care of. Bella didn't know it yet but the girls were going to pick her up at noon to take her to lunch and then for a little girl time. They now all know that her birthday is tomorrow and that we would be at the stadium for the majority of the day and then Bella and I had to work that night so they wanted to celebrate today. We were all going to go out for dinner and dancing tonight. My parents were also going to come with us since they were in town for Emmett's game.

Now I just had to break the news to Bella. I'm sure she won't mind unless my sister and sister-in-law decide to take her shopping which I have quickly found out is one of her least favorite things to do.

I walked over to the bed and knelt down on the floor on her side. She had her face turned towards me and she was still sleeping soundly. I kissed her cheek and she started to stir a little. I kissed her lips softly then and I saw a small smile spread across her face.

"Mmmm. What a way to wake up." she said and then she reached up and stretched her arms above her head and pointed her feet straight out to stretch her entire body. When she did this the covers slipped down a little and revealed the top of her breasts that I suddenly wanted to suck on.

I quickly stopped those thoughts because if I kept them going we would never get out of bed today. "Bella, baby you really need to get up and get a shower and get dressed before the girls get here." I said with a smile.

"Okayyy." She said with a smile. She went to sit up sleepily and then she stopped and looked right at me. "What did you just say?"

I smiled at her and said "The girls will be here at noon and you don't want to keep them waiting do you?"

"Edward, what in the hell are you talking about?" she asked me with confusion written all over her face.

"Alice and Rosalie know that tomorrow is your birthday." She rolled her eyes at me. "And because we will be at the game tomorrow and then working tomorrow night they decided that they wanted to celebrate today. So in exactly 2 hours they will be here to wisk you away for a little girl time and then they will bring you back to me so we can get you ready for a nice birthday dinner with my family and then off to dancing."

"I can't dance Edward." she said looking down at her feet. "You know first hand how clumsy I am."

"That I do my dear but don't worry, it's all in the leading." I smiled and then kissed the top of her head as I stood up. "Now hurry up and get moving while I go make you some breakfast."

Bella sat up completely and threw the covers off of her revealing her beautiful naked body. I groaned knowing that there really wasn't enough time to do all of the things to her that I wanted to do. I stood there for a moment and had to stifle the moans that were trying to escape my body. Bella just smiled up at me with those wicked eyes.

"See something that interests you Dr. Cullen?" Damn there she goes with the doctor shit.

Then I couldn't take it anymore. "Actually Miss Swan there is something that I've been craving for breakfast." I smirked at her and then pushed her back down on to the bed. I had her legs spread before me before she even knew what hit her and my head was now buried in between her legs. I kissed the inside of each one of her thighs and then slowly licked my way to that little patch of heaven. Bella was writhing in front of me and I knew what she wanted. Who was I to deny her?

I slowly licked my way up her folds and spread them with two of my fingers. Then I inserted my tongue and just kept licking and sucking and inserting my tongue inside of her. She was so warm and wet and sweet. I loved the taste of Bella in the morning. In fact I loved the taste of Bella all of the time. I found her little bundle of nerves and began sucking on her clit when I inserted two fingers to pump in and out of her at lightening speed. I could feel her climax coming and I wanted to make sure it was enough to keep her satisfied until tonight. I licked her folds while pumping my fingers in and out of her and then I said the words that I knew could send her over the edge. "Come on baby, cum for me." And just like that she came all over my hand and face. And I relished in every moment of it.

I kissed each one of her thighs lightly and smiled up at her. Then I stood up and walked out of the bedroom. I wanted to make sure and get out of there before I decided to lock her in our apartment for the rest of the weekend and just make sweet love to her. I made my way into the kitchen and started breakfast for her. I made her bacon, eggs and toast and I was just getting the orange juice out of the fridge when I felt her two little hands snake around my stomach from behind me.

"Hey baby. You never let me repay the favor this morning." I felt her smiling behind me as she said it.

"Yeah, well this weekend is all about you my dear. It isn't everyday that you celebrate you birthday." I told her. "Now sit down at the table and enjoy your breakfast. I have a feeling you are going to need all of your energy to keep up with the girls today."

"You know I must love you to allow you to subject me to a day of shopping or whatever it is that they are going to drag me to." She said before shoving a fork full of eggs into her mouth.

I just smiled and kissed her on the top of the head and then made my way back to the kitchen to clean up my mess.

After she ate Bella and I cuddled on the couch and watched a few Saturday morning cartoons which I haven't done in years when I heard a knock at the door. I looked down at Bella and she rolled her eyes at me.

"Just remember baby that they are doing this because they love you and they want to do this for you for your birthday." I said hoping that she wouldn't get upset with my family for wanting to do something nice for her.

I walked to the door and opened it as they started knocking again. I was shocked to see who was standing in front of me. "Mom?"

"Hey honey." My mom said pulling me into a hug. When I looked up I saw Alice, Rose and my Dad standing behind her.

"Hey Dad. I thought we wouldn't see you two until tonight." I said surprised.

"Yeah, well I couldn't exactly be left out of the fun today could I?" My mom said. "Now where's the birthday girl?"

"Hi Esme." Bella called from behind me. She walked up and right into the waiting arms of my mom. I loved the fact that they got along so well and so fast. "What are you doing here?"

"Well my dear, as soon as I found out that these two girls were going to kidnap you for the day I figured I better make sure to come along and keep them in line. After all it is your birthday and we should be doing whatever you want to do." My mom smiled at her comfortingly. Leave it to my mom to know exactly what Bella would like.

Bella smiled at her. "You guys are so sweet but it's not even my birthday yet. It's not until tomorrow."

Alice chirped in this time. "We know but tomorrow is going to be so busy with the game and everything and you deserve a full day devoted to you Bella so you'll just have to put up with us. Now lets get going so that we can have you back here and in your man's arms for dinner by 5 o'clock."

Bella came up to me and gave me a sweet kiss on the lips and wrapped her little arms around my torso for a hug before Rosalie and Alice grabbed her and dragged her out of our apartment. I was really grateful that my mom would be with to help reign them in.

After the girls were gone I turned to look at my dad. Well I guess it's just me and him now. "So dad how do you feel about going to the jewelry store with me?" I asked him with a smirk.

"I think I would like to do that son. Would you like to tell me why? Is this for a birthday present?" he asked me.

In truth I was going to be getting Bella something there for her birthday but I was also going to be taking her mother's engagement ring to talk to the jeweler and see if he could incorporate my ideas into the current ring. I smiled at him and said "Well yes but there is some other business that I need to take care of too." I looked at my dad and sighed. "Dad, I'm going to ask Bella to marry me."

My dad stood up swiftly and pulled me into his arms. He gave me a great big hug and said "Son, I'm so happy for you. Your mother and I adore Bella and we look forward to being able to call her our daughter, officially."

"Well, we better get going because I told Jasper and Emmett that I would hang out with them today too." I told him after he released me.

"How about we take the guys and go to the driving range for a while. I feel the need to hit some golf balls with my boys." My dad said with a huge grin on his face.

"Sounds good Dad."

And with that we headed out of the apartment with Bella's engagement ring in my front pocket.

We arrived at the jewelers about twenty minutes later and I walked in sweating bullets. I was really going to do this. I'm going to ask Bella to marry me! I walked up to the counter and asked to speak to the man that Jasper had referred me to.

"Hello sir, may I help you?" A short man with a round belly came walking up to me.

"Yes, are you Mr. Jenks?" I asked him.

"Yes I am. You must be Dr. Cullen. Mr. Whitlock informed me that you'd be stopping by today. So how can I help you?" he asked me.

I pulled the ring box out of my pocket and opened it for him to see. "I was wondering if you would be able to make a few adjustments to this ring. I plan to ask my girlfriend to marry me and this was her mother's engagement ring. She passed away several years ago and her father gave it to me. I know she would love it just the way it is, but I want to make it special. I want to make it hers."

"Ah, yes I see." The man said with a smile. "What did you have in mind?"

"Well, I don't want to touch the solitaire diamond, but I was wondering if you could add three marquee diamonds on each side of the solitaire. Nothing too big but just enough to accentuate the solitaire in the middle. And I would like a small inscription on the inside. Can you put the initials R.S. on the inside?"

My dad looked at me questioningly. "It was her mom's initials." I told him and he nodded smiling. "I just know how much she misses her mom and this way she will have a little piece of her with her always."

My dad patted me on the back and then went to look in some of the jewelry cases, no doubt picking something out for my mom.

"Well Dr. Cullen. I'm sure that I have a good idea of what you are looking for. How soon do you need it?" Mr. Jenks asked me.

That was a good question. How soon did I need it? When exactly am I going to propose to Bella and where? Just then it hit me like a ton of bricks. I knew the perfect place and time. "Can you get it ready by Thursday?"

I saw Mr. Jenks eyes bulge out of his head. "Are you serious? That's in 5 days." he said.

"Believe me Mr. Jenks, I am dead serious. I'm willing to pay you for all of your troubles and I will even give you a bonus if you can have it ready by Thursday morning." I told him.

"Well, it's a tall order but I think I can get it done." He shook my hand and then got the paperwork ready for me to fill out for him to do the work.

As he was writing out the agreement I took a moment to look over the case in front of me. Inside was the most beautiful pendant that I had ever seen. It was a heart with diamonds inset into the gold. It wasn't small but it wasn't big and gaudy either. As soon as I laid eyes on it I knew it would look perfect laying across Bella's neck. I finally knew what to get her for her birthday.

I signed the paperwork and then paid for the necklace and pendant and then put a rather large deposit down on the ring so that Mr. Jenks would know I was serious about the Thursday deadline. I asked him not to call my cell phone or home phone when it was done because I didn't want Bella to find out. I informed him that I would call him in a couple of days to check the progress of the ring.

We shook hands one more time and then my dad and I left to go meet up with Jasper and Emmett.

"So how did it go?" Jasper asked me while Emmett and my Dad where betting to see who could hit the golf ball farther.

"Good. I dropped off the ring and told him what I was looking for. I really think she'll like it. Of course I would love to get her some huge massive diamond for her to haul around and make sure that every other mother fucker on this planet knows she's mine but I really think that she will like this a lot more. I know it will mean the world to her that her father gave this to me to give to her." I was smiling at Jasper and he just shook his head.

"Boy you are definitely whipped." He laughed at me.

"Yes sir I most certainly am and I couldn't be happier to admit it." I told him.

Just then I heard Emmett bellowing. "Ahh man. I can't believe the old fart hit his damn ball farther than me. How is that even possible."

"Well this old fart just kicked your ass Emmett so I believe you owe me lunch now Son." My dad said.

Jasper and I chuckled and then followed my dad and brother into the club house at the golf course for lunch.

BPOV

Well I had to be honest with myself. Today hadn't been nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. I really think it helped that I had Esme here with me. She helped keep me sane and she helped reign in her daughter when she would get a little overbearing. It was so nice to have Esme around. She really made me feel like part of her family and it was almost like having a mom around again. Almost. I really missed my mom and now that my birthday was here it just made me miss her more.

I was sitting on the bench outside of the Gap trying not to be a gloomy gus while Alice went into full on shopping mode again when I felt Esme sit down beside me.

"Penny for your thoughts." she said.

"Well I hope you have a lot of pennies because I have so many things running through my head right now I don't even know where to start." I told her honestly.

"Well, why don't you start with what seems to have you so sad all of a sudden." she smiled at me.

I tried to force a smile back but I think she could see right through it. She put her arm around my shoulder and I could feel the tears well up in my eyes. It had been a long time but it still hurt to think about my mom. "I'm sorry, I was just thinking about my mom." I said wiping at my eyes. "I always think about her but it's especially hard around holidays and my birthday. My dad and I had started a tradition when I was really little. He would always take me to get flowers for my mom on my birthday. It was always daffodils because those were her favorite. I would give them to her as a thank you for having me. My dad had started doing it when I was a year old and as I got older he brought me into the tradition."

I looked up to see Esme smiling at me with tears in her eyes as well. Crap now I felt bad. "I'm really sorry Esme. I didn't mean to make you cry. I'm really sorry." I said feeling bad.

"Bella don't say you're sorry for sharing such a beautiful story with me. You have every right to think about your mom and especially on your birthday. I know that it isn't officially your birthday until tomorrow but I just want you to know that I feel honored to let me spend this day with you." Esme kissed me on the forehead and then wrapped her arms around me in a hug. It felt so good to have her hug me. It really made me miss my mom even more but if I couldn't have her around I was glad to at least have Edward's mom.

"I don't know how much more of this I can take." Rosalie said after she left the store leaving Alice in there alone. "I like to shop but my god someone has to put a leash on that little pixie."

Esme laughed and I started to laugh with her. Just then an angry looking Alice came walking out of the store. "What is going on out here?" she huffed.

"Well my dear I think Rosalie was just letting us know that it's time to head to the spa to get beautified for Bella's birthday bash tonight." Esme said.

"I couldn't have said it better myself." Rosalie smirked at Alice. And just like that we were off to the spa.

Four hours later and I had been massaged and waxed and pampered to within an inch of my life. Rosalie and Esme had insisted on paying for my portion when we went to leave and told me that it was a birthday present. I didn't want to make them feel bad so I just went along with it and thanked them profusely remembering what Edward had told me. They truly wanted to do this for me.

We were now back at Alice's house to get ready for dinner. Alice insisted that the girls get ready together here and that the boys would come by to pick us up. I was officially ready except for my dress. Alice told me that she had picked out the perfect dress for me and that I couldn't argue because it was her birthday present to me. Again, how could I say no when they were being so nice to me so I just smiled and agreed.

I stood there staring at the dress that was still covered by the garment bag. I slowly unzipped it and pulled it out by the hanger. It was absolutely stunning. It was a slim cocktail dress that had spaghetti straps and looked like it would go down to just above my knees. It was also a deep navy blue color that I knew would look good on my skin tone. I noticed that Alice had also taken the liberty to buy me some new Victoria's Secret lacey blue underwear and a blue lace strapless bra. I slid the robe off and put on the bra and underwear before slipping the dress over my skin. The dress fit absolutely perfectly. I was standing in front of the mirror admiring the dress and trying to figure out how exactly I was going to zip it up when there was a knock on the door.

I figured it was Alice so I yelled "Come in."

Before I knew it there were two strong hands sitting on my hips and Edward had his nose nuzzling my neck. I noticed that he was clean shaven and had on a pair of black slacks and a blue button down shirt. It wasn't quite the same shade as mine but I thought it was cute that we matched.

"I missed you today." he said placing kisses over my shoulder blades. He brought his hands to the open area of my dress on my back and started to slowly slide his fingers up and down my spine sending very noticeable shivers down my body and making all of my girly parts scream for more. Then he slid his hand down to the zipper of my dress and oh so torturously zipped the back. Damn him! He smiled against my skin and then looked up at the mirror and into my eyes. "You look absolutely breathtaking. Happy Birthday my Bella."

I smiled at him and turned around so that I could kiss him properly. We had just let our lips settle into a perfect pace when I heard a loud cough coming from the doorway. We broke apart and saw Carlisle standing at the door.

"Sorry kids but I was told to come see what was keeping the birthday girl but I should have guessed it would be Edward." he said with a smile. I smiled back warmly and grabbed Edward's hand so that we could head out for dinner.

"We'll be right there Dad." Edward said not letting me walk any farther. He gave his dad a little smirk and Carlisle nodded in his direction and then walked out.

"So Bella, I know how you hate presents but tomorrow is your birthday so I hope you will make one exception for me." And then he pulled out a small wrapped present from the pocket of his pants.

I looked up at him and smiled. "You really didn't have to do this Edward."

"I know but I really wanted to. Now please open it."

I took the package from his hand and opened the paper. It was a small velvet covered box. I knew it had to be some sort of jewelry. I stopped and looked up at him before I looked back down at the box and opened the lid. Inside was the most breathtaking necklace that I had ever seen. It was a gold heart with diamonds all the way around it. It must have cost a small fortune. I looked up at Edward and I could see his eyes glowing with pride at the gift that he had gotten me. I couldn't tell him that he spent to much. I knew that he had really wanted this for me so I just threw my arms around him and kissed him on the lips.

"Well that wasn't the reaction I was expecting but I'm more than willing to take it." He said as he kissed me back.

"Thank you Edward. I absolutely love it."

He took the necklace from the box and motioned for me to hold up my hair so he could place it around my neck. He clasped the necklace together and rested it on my neck. Then he adjusted it so that it sat perfectly on my chest. "Now you have my heart with you always. It has only ever belonged to you and it will continue to be yours as long as you want it." he said and then he took my lips in his for another passionate kiss.

"Are you two done in there yet? I'm starving." we heard Emmett bellowing from the stairway.

We both giggled and then headed out of the room hand in hand to go have my birthday dinner with his family.

Dinner had been really nice. We went to an expensive Italian restaurant that had the most amazing mushroom ravioli that I've ever eaten. We laughed and told stories and toasted to my birthday. It was the most fun that I have had on my birthday in quite some time. When dinner was over we headed out to a very nice martini bar that had a band playing Jazz music. It was very classy and not something that I would have thought the guys would be into but it was really nice. We had a few drinks and danced to a couple songs and then we were headed home. We knew that Emmett had to be up and at the stadium early and the rest of us wanted to get there early for tailgating. This was going to be a new experience for me and everyone insisted that if this was my first game that we must tailgate.

We got back to our apartment by 9 o'clock and I couldn't wait to get my feet out of these heels that Alice had put me in. I walked into the bedroom and sat on the edge of the bed and brought my foot up to unbuckle the strap that was holding the death traps to my feet. I hadn't even realized that Edward had followed me in until he was grabbing my foot himself and taking off my shoes. Without speaking a word he slid the shoes off and started to rub the soles of my feet. I moaned and I saw him smirk up at me.

Edward slowly stood up and pulled me up with him. Then he reached behind me and slowly slid the zipper of my dress down my back. I could feel my breath hitch in anticipation of what I knew was coming next. He slowly slid his fingers up my arms and to the straps of my dress and then stopped.

"Have I told you how absolutely beautiful you look tonight?" he asked me.

"Only once or twice but I wouldn't mind if you said it again." I smiled at him.

He slowly traced a pattern with his fingers over my shoulders before he said "You are the most breathtaking woman I have ever seen and I love you more than words can say." Then he slid his right hand down to the heart that was now resting on my chest.

I reached my arms up and slid my hands into his hair and then pulled his face down to mine.

"I love you so much. Thank you for a wonderful birthday." I told him before I kissed him.

"I'm glad you had a nice time tonight and just so you know it isn't technically your birthday yet which means the fun has only started."

"What do you mean? I thought this was my birthday celebration because we'll be at the game tomorrow." I said confused.

"Baby this was just the start. Now I think we have some more fun to get to." Then he slid my dress down my body. I heard him hiss when he took in the sight of me in my lacy navy blue bra and panties. "Oh my god I think my heart just stopped." he whispered.

"Well why don't we see what we can do to get it started again." I said before groping him through his trousers.

The next thing I knew I was laying on my back on the bed and my bra and panties were gone and Edward was above me naked. He entered me smoothly and we made love until we couldn't keep our eyes open anymore.

I was woken up at the ass crack of dawn by Edward's hard cock sticking in my back but I definitely wasn't about to complain. I smiled and tried to turn around to take care of his rather large problem when I felt his hands grip tighter around me.

"Don't even think about it my dear. We have to get up and get a shower if we plan to be at the stadium by 8 o'clock." he said into my hair.

"Remind me again why the hell we have to be up so early when the game doesn't start until noon?" I asked him.

"Because this is your first game and you have to get the whole experience which means tailgating with my crazy family. Now get your cute little butt up and in the shower so that I can give you your other birthday present."

"Edward…." I whined. "You weren't suppose to get me anything. Besides you already gave me your heart what more could I want?" I said turning in his arms and smiling against his chest.

"Well you're just going to have to deal with it. Now get going." And then he pushed me towards the edge of the bed.

I reluctantly got up and walked into the bathroom to take my shower. I took a quick shower and washed up my body and my hair. I quickly shaved my legs because I was planning to wear shorts to the game today knowing it would probably be pretty warm. I got out of the shower and wrapped myself in a towel before walking back into our bedroom. When I got there Edward was sitting on the bed in a pair of boxers with a small cake with a candle in it and a present sitting on the bed.

I walked over to him and sat down on the bed. "So Dr. Cullen, when did you do all of this?" I asked him.

"Wouldn't you like to know. Now blow out your candle." I smiled at him and blew out the candle making the one wish I hoped would come true more than anything else. I smiled up at Edward and he leaned over to kiss me. "Happy Birthday my love."

Then he handed me a fork. "Cake for breakfast?" I asked him.

"Yeah, well it only happens once a year right! Now eat up." He told me.

I took a few bites of the moist cake and I grinned. I absolutely loved butter cream frosting. Suddenly I was having the most amazing daydream of spreading this icing all over his body and licking it off. I was smiling and didn't even realize it when I heard Edward chuckling.

"What?" I asked him.

"I know what you're thinking and if you're a good girl we'll save some of this for later. Now open your present."

I laughed at him and the fact that his mind seemed to be on the same track as mine. I reached for the present and slowly opened the paper. I saw a box that looked like it would hold some type of clothing. I lifted the lid and gasped.

"Oh my god Edward. You got me a Seahawks jersey?" I squealed. I jumped up and grabbed Edward around the neck hugging myself tightly to him. I had completely forgotten that I was still only clad in a towel and that it seemed to have fallen off when I jumped on him.

"Woman you are really trying to kill me aren't you." He stated.

I kissed him quickly on the lips and then jumped up to put my clothes on. I grabbed my underwear and bra and slid them on. I knew I had an audience so I made sure to make my movements really slow. Then I slid on my pair of short blue jean shorts and a white tank top. Then I grabbed the jersey and slid it over top of my tank top. Then I noticed the number and chuckled.

"Number 83 huh?" I asked him.

He rubbed the back of his neck and smiled. "Well, Emmett would have killed me if I had gotten you Hasselback's jersey. But if it's not the one you want I can take it back and get you a different one."

"No way. I love the fact that your name is plastered across my back for everyone to see even if it is your brother's number."

I turned around and looked in the mirror and saw 'CULLEN' written across the back.

Okay I know I said that I would get you to the game in this chapter but I just felt like I needed to lead up to the game. That plus I have had many people asking for more interaction with the family, so I promise the next chapter will get you closer to what you are waiting for. The proposal isn't that far away! I promise! Now did you like it? Love it? Hate it? Let me know please!

Please review and make me feel better because I think my kids and husband have given me their stomach flu!
