Chapter 33 – Valentine's Day
EPOV
Tomorrow was Valentine's Day and I had arranged a special day for Bella and me. She was getting too far along to really go anywhere seeing as how she was due at the end of March. Carlisle said that he doubted she would make it until then. He was trying to talk her into a scheduled C-Section but our dear stubborn Bella wouldn't have it. Carlisle had ordered Bella on bed rest since she was being stubborn.
I still wanted her to be able to enjoy Valentine's Day confined to the bed so I worked it out with everyone so that Bella and I could have the house alone. Carlisle and Esme were at a medical conference in Seattle anyways. Alice and Jasper decided to go to Port Angeles and have some fun on the beach while Emmett and Rosalie were going to have a romp in the woods during the Alice predicted thunderstorm tomorrow afternoon. I had never been able to experience it firsthand but I had been told and had "seen" what a thunderstorm did to a vampire's libido.
I was making chicken fettuccini alfredo for Bella and we then hopefully spend a slow intimate night in bed together. I had already picked up everything and the lilies would be delivered tomorrow for Bella. I had also retrieved a piece of my mother's jewelry as a present for her. It was a simple lapis lazuli bracelet. I remembered that it was one of my mother's favorite pieces. My father had given it to her on their 10th wedding anniversary.

I got up the next day and set about the preparations. I had propped Bella up in bed and brought her a breakfast tray with some scrambled eggs, toast, and juice. She ate and watched TV before nodding off for a nap. The pregnancy was making her really tired lately. While she slept I took the time to set the flowers that had been delivered up around the bedroom. I made dinner and had it ready to go on the hall table. I knew when she woke up that she would need to use the bathroom.
I tiptoed into the room and kissed Bella softly on the lips, rousing her from her sleep like she was my fairy tale princess. Her eyes fluttered open and she smiled before kissing me back.
"Hello love, did you sleep well?" I asked.
"Yes, and I had the best wake-up call of all time just now," Bella mused at me. "OOOOO, gotta pee!"
I laughed and helped her up from the bed and towards the bathroom, her belly almost knocking the lamp off the table when she stumbled. While she was taking care of business in the bathroom I retrieved the red blanket from the hall and spread it out on the bed and brought in the food, setting it on the dresser. I knocked on the bathroom door when I heard the toilet flush and Bella opened it and reluctantly took my arm for the trip back to the bed.
"You know, I can walk by myself," Bella said as her toe caught the edge of the rug and I had to grab her to keep her upright. "Well, I used to be able to…" We both laughed at her comment and I helped her to the bed.
"Here we are love, Happy Valentine's Day," I said and kissed her again.
"Happy Valentine's Day Edward, this is the best one ever," Bella said, "even though I am stuck to this bed. Mmm, what smells good?"
"Dinner, I prepared chicken fettuccini alfredo for us and you are getting dinner in bed," I said with a grand bow. Bella giggled and settled herself on the bed. I retrieved the plates of food and crawled onto the bed to sit beside my wife. I loved the sound of that. My wife. The soon to be mother of my children. Could life get any better?
Bella and I sat on the bed, eating and talking easily. After we were finished eating I took the plates downstairs and retrieved the strawberry cheesecake I had prepared yesterday. I took it upstairs and Bella melted when she saw it. I spoon fed her the entire slice then she insisted on returning the favor.
She made sure to get some on my face then tried to lean forward and lick it off only to be blocked by her stomach. I chuckled lightly and leaned forward so that she could complete her original plan and was instantly turned on when her warm moist tongue slowly licked the side of my mouth. I twisted my head slightly, causing her tongue to dance across my lips. I wrapped one arm around her and deepened the kiss slightly, enjoying the sensation and flavor of her lips and tongue. Bella pressed herself into me faintly and tried to deepen the kiss even more. I could tell that this was starting to go too far so I pulled back and was rewarded with a scowl and a pout from Bella.
"Why on earth did you stop?" Bella asked in a sulky manner.
"Because Carlisle said bed rest and no sex," I replied. I couldn't believe my excuse was that my daddy wouldn't let me have sex. I felt like I was 14 years old.
"Fuck Carlisle and fuck the no sex rule! He may be this all knowing vampire with years of medical training but he has no say so over my sex life!" Bella fumed and I had to bite my tongue to keep from laughing.
"Love…" I began but Bella cut me off.
"Look, can we at least try, I will let you set the pace and I promise to tell you if it starts to hurt. Please??? It's Valentine's Day! I want my husband to make love to me."
I let out a big sigh and gave in. How could I deny Bella when she was begging and pouting? This woman was going to be the death of me. I leaned back into Bella and kissed her softly. She slowly wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me back passionately. I wanted her so badly at that moment that it took everything I had to not strip both of us down and take her.
I helped her out of her shirt before recapturing her lips with mine. Bella's warm breasts pressed against my chest and I leaned her back some so that I could taste them. I let my tongue dance around each of her nipples before sucking one then the other into my mouth. Bella was breathing heavily and panting my name out as my tongue worked against her breasts. I wanted to take things very slowly but my body had other intentions. I stood up and helped Bella out of her pants and panties before disrobing and joining her on the bed.
I instructed her to lie on her side and I positioned myself behind her, my body forming against hers like a puzzle piece. I put one arm under her, reaching around to tease her breast as the other one helped to guide me home, into the sweet and warm grotto that I yearned for.
Bella moaned as I entered her and I set a very slow, almost painful, pace in and out of her. I wrapped her in my arms as I spooned her and made love to her, calling her name out as I kissed and nibbled on her ear. Bella was rocking slightly to meet my slow thrusts. Bella moaned out as I reached around and found her bundle of nerves. It sounded almost painful and I froze.
"Are you ok?" I asked in a panicked tone.
"I'm fine, that was a good moan," Bella said and shifted her hips to rock against me again. Suddenly she drew in a deep breath through her teeth as she clutched her stomach.
I could feel the contraction since I was still buried deep within her. I might have passed it off as an orgasm if I hadn't felt it with my hand on her stomach. I pulled out of her immediately and threw on my pants before helping her sit up some. Bella was trying to take deep breaths as another contraction hit. I grabbed my phone and tried to call Carlisle but it was going straight to voice mail. I tried several more times to get him on the phone with the same end results. All the while, Bella's phone had been ringing nonstop. I grabbed it and saw Alice's number flashing.
"Alice!" I said into the phone.
"Edward, she is going into labor. Her water is going to break soon. Get her into the bathroom then get her dressed and downstairs. We are on our way there. Jasper called Carlisle and he and Esme are on their way back. Call Rose and Emmett and have them get home now!" Alice instructed me. I thanked her and hung up.
Bella was moaning and clutching her stomach when I turned around. I helped her up as gently as I could and got her into the bathroom. The moment her feet touched the tile her water broke. Bella started crying and I shushed her and calmed her the best I could.
"It's ok baby, it's just your water. It is normal. Let's get you dressed and downstairs. I am going to call Em and Rose and get them to come home and take us to the hospital," I told her as I dried her legs off and helped her back into the bedroom.
I picked up the clothes she had been wearing and got her back into them before grabbing a coat and some slippers for her to wear. I quickly dressed myself and we started the slow descent downstairs. I was mentally timing the contractions and realized that they were already 4 minutes apart. We wouldn't be able to wait for Em and Rose. I called them when we got to the living room and told Emmett that we were heading to the hospital and for them to meet us there. Bella groaned loudly as I was hanging up the phone so I decided that we couldn't waste any more time. I grabbed my keys and helped her out to the Volvo. It was pouring down rain and we were both soaked by the time we got in it.
I headed down the driveway not even paying attention to my speed. The moment my tires touched the pavement I floored the SUV, my only concern was getting Bella to the hospital in time. I wasn't paying as much attention to the road as I should have because of Bella's severe contractions rocketing through her small frame. She was trying not to cry and it pained me to know that I couldn't do anything to help ease her pain.
Bella screamed out and I looked to her, taking my eyes completely off the road. When I put them back on the road I saw the deer darting across the pavement. I slammed on the brakes and jerked the steering wheel to the right to avoid the impact. Suddenly the SUV was sliding out of control and I saw us heading right for the tree line. I looked at Bella and her eyes were wide with fear as she saw the trees coming closer and closer towards her door. I reached for her and tried to brace us for the inevitable impact.
