Chapter 23

BPOV

After I stormed upstairs I sat on the bed and waited for Edward to come up and apologize and give in to my wishes. He didn't and I was shocked! I opened the door and tried to listen in for him. I heard some mumbling from downstairs so I tiptoed down the hall and tried to listen in better.

"Carlisle, she practically called off the wedding unless the treaty can be revised for it. You have to do something!" Edward said. I assumed he was on his phone. I heard a few "uh huhs" before Edward clicked his phone shut. I hurried back down the hall and sat on the bed waiting for him.

It was a few minutes later when I heard a small knocking at the door.

"Love? Can I come in?" Edward said.

"Of course, this is your room too," I replied softly.

Edward came in and sat down on the bed beside me, scooting over until his side was against mine. Then he put his arm around me and pulled me close.

"Bella…" he began before I stopped him.

"Edward, I will not call off the wedding but I want everyone there. I am only going to do this once and I waited years longer than I ever thought I would. But now we are finally doing it and I want to do it right. In fact, Alice is surprised by it. Anyways, no matter what, I will marry you on September 5th and no one will stop us," I said and he kissed me in response.

"Come with me?" Edward said, suddenly breaking the kiss and getting up off the bed. His hand reached out for mine.

"Where to?" I asked.

"Downstairs…" Edward said with a crooked smile.

"What are you up to?" I asked. Did I really want to know?

"You will see," he said as he helped me up off the bed and led me downstairs.

Edward led the way downstairs and I noticed a flickering glow coming from the living room. We descended the stairs and turned the corner into the living room and I gasped. There were candles everywhere and on his piano was a deep blue blanked and two glasses of something bubbly.

"Edward is that…" I started to ask and he cut me off.

"It is sparkling cider. Do you really think I would try and give you champagne?" he said, beaming at me while raising one eyebrow.

"Thank you Edward," I said and kissed him. He broke away before I could deepen it and led me to the piano. The lid was open, exposing the keys and I began to wonder what was going on. Edward hadn't played since he returned. Did he even know how to play anymore?

"I want to try something Bella. Will you let me play for you?" he said with a hint of nervousness in his voice.

"Ok…" I said and moved to sit on the bench next to him but he didn't let me sit there. Instead he picked me up and sat me on top of the piano so I could look at him directly while he played. I could grow to enjoy this setup. He sat at the bench and pulled out some pieces of paper.

"I have found that I can't play well without the notes in front of me, so if you don't mind, I will use them," Edward explained while he looked down. He almost looked embarrassed by the fact that he needed the sheet music.

"Edward? I don't care if you play me Mary Had a Little Lamb, any music from you is pure heaven," I said, trying to comfort him.

"Are you sure Bella? I feel embarrassed that I need the notes in front of me," Edward said.

"Yes Edward, I am sure," I replied.

"Well, then I guess it is a good thing I wrote down all of my music," he said as he positioned his fingers on the keys.

Edward started playing and I immediately recognized the tune, it was my lullaby! He was playing my lullaby! I felt the tears start up in my eyes and drip down my cheeks. Edward paused to turn the page of the sheet music and I stopped him.

"Nod when you need it turned," I said and placed my hand on top of his. Edward nodded his gratitude and replaced his fingers on the piano keys. I turned the page and he started playing again. He would occasionally look up at me and I smiled at him in adoration. I truly loved everything about Edward Cullen. The next time he looked up he nodded and I turned the page. We continued like this for a while until my lullaby came to a close.

Edward silently closed the cover for the keys and stood up. I tried to get off of the piano but Edward stopped me and shook his head. When I went to speak he placed his fingers over my lips and shushed me. He leaned up against me and captured my lips in his and I drank in his essence.

Edward leaned me back on top of the piano and crawled up on top of it with me, his lips never leaving mine. He trailed his fingers up my body and back down it while our tongues danced together. I could feel my arousal building for him but wanted to take our time with this. I wrapped one arm around his neck and used my fingers to gently graze his ear, this made him moan into my mouth and his hand found one of my breasts. He gently played with my hardened nipple through the fabric and I moaned back into his mouth.

He broke his lips from mine but trailed them down my jaw to nibble on my ear, then down my neck to nibble on my collar bone. My hands instinctively found their way to his coppery locks and I played with them and wrapped them around my fingers as he kissed lower and lower down my body. He paused and started to unbutton my blouse with his teeth. I thought I was going to die of lust at that very moment but knew I would die happy.

When he finished unbuttoning my blouse he lifted me up and removed it, throwing it to the floor. He smoothly unclasped my bra and it joined the blouse. He laid me back on the piano and moved his lips down to the button on my slacks. He used his teeth to undo the button on them while he slowly unzipped them. I held my breath in anticipation. He was looking me in the eye while he was doing it and I almost fainted when he winked at me right before he slowly tugged them down my hips, taking my panties with them.

There I laid, fully naked in front of him, a small mound rising from my abdomen. He leaned forward and placed his hands on my baby bump and kissed it twice. I reached toward him and placed my hand on his cheek and he nuzzled it. I moved my eyes from his to his body and smirked at the sight of all the clothing. Edward seemed to take the cue and he stood up on the piano bench and slowly started to unbutton his shirt, one at a time, moving from the neckline to the waistline.

I licked my lips when he let the shirt fall from his shoulders onto the floor. He saw the gesture and smiled at me seductively. He moved his hands to his belt and slowly pulled it free from the belt loops. I was almost painful to watch the slow, deliberate movements. His fingers returned to the button on his slacks and he slowly undid it and then moved to the zipper. I heard every click of the metal as he lowered it.

I took a deep breath when he hooked his thumbs into his waist band and he slowly pushed them down towards his feet. He stepped out of them and I noticed his eyes graze over my naked body. He paused while looking at my center and I noticed his boxers spring to life. I rubbed my thighs together as I felt the moisture surge forward. His boxers nodded in response to my gesture and he looked like he was struggling to not consume me that very moment.

He made slow but deliberate work of removing his boxers and discarding them before looking me over again. He licked his lips at the sight of me, naked, laid out for him on top of his piano. His erection was standing proudly before me as he climbed back on top of the piano. His lips started at my waistline and made their way up one side of my body, making sure to kiss around and over one breast. He kissed up my collar bone and across to my other shoulder then followed the opposite trail back down to my waist again. I was panting with desire and was about to beg him for release.

He must have sensed my need because he lowered his face until it hovered over my core. My eyes pleaded with him to continue and he smiled at me before lowering his lips to mine. I gasped and my back arched, thrusting my hips up toward his face. He chuckled lightly and then used his tongue to slowly lick my folds from bottom to top and back down again. I threw my head back and moaned his name loudly as he used his tongue to part my lips and lick my core. I came as soon as his tongue found my core.

Edward licked up my juices as they surged forward for him. I thought he was done but he wasn't. He returned his tongue to my core as he slowly slid two fingers inside of me, very slowly stroking in and out of me. I started to writhe under his touch and felt another orgasm quickly building. Edward kept up the slow tempo as he licked in time with his strokes. When I thought I could handle no more my second orgasm burst forward and I screamed out his name.

Edward must have felt that he had done a thorough job because he removed his face from my center and licked the remnants of my juices from his chin and fingers. He slowly crawled his way up my body and lowered himself beside me, caressing my body with one hand and leaning his head on the other. I decided that it was my turn to take charge of the situation.

I pushed his shoulder and rolled him onto his back as I lifted myself up and straddled his hips. He took a deep breath as I teased his erection with my lips, grazing them across his head. His member pulsed with desire and he clenched his jaw. I teased him with grazes across his head for a few more moments as my hands traced nonexistent patterns on his chest and shoulders.

Edward pulled in a deep breath and looked at me with pleading eyes, practically begging me to end the torture. I smiled seductively at him as I slowly lowered myself onto him. We moaned in unison as the contact. I settled myself onto his hips and braced my hands on his sides. I started to rock slowly forward and back on him and closed my eyes at the wonderful friction this position put on my bud. I kept the pace slow and deliberate as I watched Edward's eyes roll back and his head roll from side to side in ecstasy.

I leaned forward and put my hands on either side of his head and kept the pace but added in a lift of my butt on each rock of my hips. The new position had him hitting deeper spots and I felt the beginnings of another orgasm. Edward lifted his head up and grabbed mine, pressing his lips against mine and seeking entrance with his tongue. I willingly let him enter my mouth and moaned as he filled both ends of me simultaneously. The moan made his thrust his hips and I had to pull back and shake my head at him, scolding his eagerness. He groaned in response and moved his hands to my thighs and started stroking them as I continued to rock against his hips and member.

Edward's thumbs stroked the inside of my thighs as his fingers gripped the outside of them. The pressure heightened my desire and I leaned backwards, bracing myself on his thighs with my hands. I continued to rock and each rock exposed my center to him. Edward's eyes glazed over at the sight and he growled low and deep with desire. His hands moved higher up my thighs and started to stroke my folds as I thrust slowly on top of him.

I almost lost it when Edward's thumbs parted my lips and found my bud, stroking it in time with the rocking of my hips. I knew I wouldn't last long with Edward's thumbs in the mix so I reached back with one hand and found his sack hanging between his thighs, soaked in my juices. I started to massage it while I continued to rock against Edward.

My orgasm built quicker and I fought against the urge to quicken my rocks but stayed the course I had started. Suddenly, my orgasm burst forward like flood gates opening and I was consumed by it. When my walls clamped down on Edward he screamed my name and spilled his seed deep inside of me. The last thing I remembered was collapsing against Edward and whispering, "I love you," before drifting off to sleep in his arms.

I awoke to the sound of a door shutting and then heard Alice.

"OH MY GOD! EDWARD! BELLA! WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING DOWN HERE NAKED?!?" Alice screamed and we were awake instantly. Edward grabbed the blanket and covered us up quickly as Rose and Esme appeared behind Alice.

Edward and I blushed deeply as Rose's jaw dropped and Esme smirked and stifled a giggle.

"Um…oh…well…you see…" I tried to speak but I was at a loss for words.

"Well, I see you two made up," Rose said as she sat down on the loveseat. Edward and I were occupying the couch. He must have moved me there at some point last night.

"Why don't we go get our bags from the car ladies so Edward and Bella can go compose themselves?" Esme said. Alice and Rose smirked at us before following her out the front door.

The moment the door shut we got up and ran upstairs, laughing the whole way. In the safety of our room we collapsed in laughter at being caught. It was kind of thrilling.

"Well, I bet they didn't see this coming, did they?" Edward said between laughs.

"I bet not," I replied and laughed some more.

Alice's voice interrupted our laughter as she yelled up the stairs, "EDWARD! BELLA! HURRY UP! WE HAVE MATTERS TO DISCUSS!"

"Damn evil pixie!" I said. "She ruined our fun!"

"I HEARD THAT BELLA!" Alice screamed back at me from the living room and I laughed some more.

Edward headed to the closet and got each of us shirts and pants while I retrieved our underwear and a bra for me.

I tossed Edward his boxers and he set the jeans and shirt on the bed for me as I quickly put on my panties and bra. I picked up the jeans and slid my legs into them then tried to button them up.

"SHIT!" I cursed!

"What?" Edward said as Alice almost burst through the bedroom door followed closely by Rose and Esme. Thankfully Edward had his boxers on and I had my bra on. We weren't expecting the sudden audience.

"Is everything ok Bella?" Rose asked quickly.

"I can't button my pants!" I whined and everyone laughed at me. "WHAT???? Don't laugh, it isn't funny!" I pouted.

"It was bound to happen Bella," Esme said as Edward came up behind me and placed his hands on my baby belly.

"But it is a good reason why they won't button," Edward said as he kissed my shoulder but I still pouted.

Edward walked to the dresser and pulled out a pair of his pajama pants and handed them to me. I slid off my now-too-small-jeans and threw them at the floor. I loved those jeans. I reluctantly put on Edward's pajama pants and had to tighten the strings so they wouldn't fall off. At least there was something in the house I could wear.

"This wasn't supposed to happen this soon! I should still be able to wear my own clothes," I whined as I started to put my shirt on. I almost cried when it wouldn't fully cover my belly; about an inch of my pale skin peeked out between the shirt and the pants.

"Awww, honey! It is ok Bella. We can go shopping later today for some new clothes for you. Don't worry about it happening already, remember, you are having twins," Esme reminded me. "Edward, put your pants on please."

We all laughed at request and Edward slid his jeans on then pulled a black, snug t-shirt over his head.

"Ok, can we take this downstairs?" Rose asked. "There isn't enough space in here for all of us."

We all agreed and headed down to the living room. Rose eyed the couch suspiciously before deciding to sit on the loveseat. Edward and I laughed at this and decided to sit on the offending couch.

Alice sat on the arm of the loveseat and Esme sat in the chair.

"Ok, so who is going to tell us what you guys are doing here?" Edward asked.

"Oh, we were going to call but it was late when we caught our flight. After the phone call to Carlisle last night he thought it would be best for us all to go ahead and head out here so that we could get things settled before the wedding. But, there were only 3 seats available at such short notice, who would have thought that so many people would be flying into Seattle at such an odd hour. We were pleasantly surprised to discover that is was so packed because the Seattle Seahawks were flying back from a game. Rose had fun flirting shamelessly with them and got quite a few numbers," Alice said as Rose pulled a wad of papers from her pocket and smiled. I cleared my throat as a way of getting her back on track.

"Oh, right! So, since there were only 3 seats left we decided that us girls would fly back first and the guys are catching the next flight out. They should be here by tonight," Alice concluded.

"So why are you all back here again?" I asked, slightly confused.

"Duh, silly! We are here to get everything settled for the wedding and make sure that everyone can be there. Carlisle already phoned Sam, the alpha of the pack, and asked for a meeting tomorrow morning to discuss the boundaries for the wedding," Alice said triumphantly with a big smile.

"Oh thank you thank you thank you!" I squealed as I got up and ran to Alice to hug her.

"Ok, but for now Bella, we have to get you something new to wear, those pajama pants just aren't doing it for me," Rose said jokingly and Edward laughed.

"Well, I don't know about all of you, but I love seeing Bella in my pants!" Edward said and everyone groaned at the joke.

"Ok, I think we can get you in the first store with those pants on but that's it. Bella, get your shoes, we are going shopping!" Alice said sounding a lot like Donkey from Shrek talking about waffles.

I groaned and slowly made my way upstairs to retrieve my shoes.

Ok, so there it is! What do you think and what do you think will happen at the meeting between the Cullens and the Pack? It will be in the next chapter!
