BPOV:
I could not wait to get this baby out of me. I'm in my seventh month now and I don't think I can make it two more months. Everything hurts. All. The. Time. Don't get me wrong, I mean, I would do anything to get my little boy here safe and healthy, but I'm getting tired of it. I don't think I have had normal sized ankles for at least a solid month.
That brings me to what Edward and I are doing right now.
I'm lounging on the sofa and Edward is sitting on the other end with my feet in his lap, which he is massaging.
"Edward, you have no idea how good that feels." I told him.
"Well, it's the least I can do; you are carrying my child and all."
I laughed at his comment and closed my eyes. I didn't remember drifting off to sleep, but I woke up to a sharp pain in my lower abdomen. I let out a yelp and Edward was immediately at my side.
"What's the matter love?" He asked with concern evident on his face.
"There's a pain in my stomach." I said trying to control my tears.
"I think we should go to the hospital." Edward said, trying to help me off of the sofa.
"But he's not ready yet Edward. I still have a few months to go." I was starting to panic by this time.
"Let's just get to the hospital."
We headed out the door and the pain was not subsiding. I don't think Edward had ever driven that fast in his entire life and he was already a maniac when it came to driving. We arrived at the hospital in record time and I was whisked into the hospital and into a wheelchair.
"Can I help you two?" A nurse walking by asked.
"Yes, I think my wife is going into early labor. We need a room and Dr. Carlisle Cullen." Edward demanded more than said.
The nurse led us to a room and I was given a gown to put on. I had no idea how I would get it on, this pain was unbearable.
"Here, let me help you get that on." Edward said, offering me a hand to stand up.
After I had the gown on and was tucked into the bed Carlisle arrived.
"I got here as fast as I could." He said.
He walked over to the machines I was hooked up to and studied the information.
"What kind of pain are you experiencing?" Carlisle asked.
"My stomach just keeps clenching and it hurts." I said as a tear slipped down my face. Edward wiped it away and took my hand into his.
"Well than let's just get you checked out." Carlisle said with a warm smile on his face. I just nodded.
"Everything's going to be fine; I promise." Edward said and he sealed his promise with a kiss.
Carlisle got everything set up and checked to see how many centimeters dilated I was.
"Bella, has your water broken?" Carlisle asked.
"No not yet."
"Well, you've not started to dilate yet." He explained.
"What does that mean?" Edward asked.
"Just a moment." He said before turning to me.
"Bella, when was the last time you felt any pain."
"Um, not in a while. I haven't even noticed." I said.
"I think you have gone into false labor." Carlisle stated.
"Then what about the contractions?" Edward asked.
"Bella has been experiencing something we call Braxton Hicks." Carlisle explained.
"But they hurt so badly." I said.
"They can." Carlisle said, "I'll just go get your discharge papers, so you guys can get home."
When Carlisle left Edward helped me take the gown off and put my normal clothes back on.
"How are you feeling?" Edward asked, while tying my shoes.
"Kind of stupid; I wasn't even in labor Edward. And it hurt so badly. How am I going to do the real thing?" I asked, breaking into sobs.
"Bella, you can do this. You're so much stronger than you think you are." Edward said, bringing me to his chest.
"Let's just get out of here, I'm really tired."
Edward nodded and we left the room and went to the nurse's station to sign my discharge papers. We got into the car and started to drive home; all the while I was still crying. We finally pulled into the driveway and Edward came around to help me out of the car. We got into the house and headed straight upstairs. I walked into our bedroom and Edward was not far behind me.
"Bella, something else is wrong, just tell me." Edward said, turning me around and gazing into my eyes.
I immediately started to tear up again. Edward took me by the hand and led me to the bed; we sat down and I curled into him.
"Edward, I-I was just so stupid. I wasn't really in labor." I sobbed into his shoulder. I think a lot of this crying was due to hormones; another wonderful side-effect of pregnancy.
"Bella, there's more to it than that. You can tell me." He said handing me a tissue off the bed side table.
"I'm just so scared, it hurt so much. For a second I thought we were losing him because it wasn't time. It terrified me."
"Bella, love, I'm so sorry; I didn't realize…" I then stopped him mid-sentence with a searing kiss.
"Bella…what…"
"I need you, Edward. I need the connection. Please."
Edward crushed his lips to mine and we both fell back onto the bed in a heated kiss. My hands automatically went to take off Edward's shirt and as soon as it was discarded, mine soon joined it on the floor. Edward started to trail kisses across my jaw and down my neck. His hands soon went behind my back and started to unclasp my bra. Once both of our torsos were bare, Edward took my left nipple into his mouth.
"Oh Edward, don't stop." I moaned out.
He then switched over to my right nipple and began to suck on it with the same vigor. My hands started to trail their way down Edward's side and to his belt buckle. I soon had his pants and boxers off and mine went right with his. Edward gazed lovingly down into my eyes and kissed me so deeply I thought I would cum right there.
"Please, Edward." That was all I had to say before Edward flipped us over and he was sheathed inside me.
As soon as I hit my fifth month we found it a lot easier if I was on top; it was the only position that didn't crush my stomach.
I started to bounce up and down on Edward and his hands immediately went to my hips to help. We soon found a good, steady pace and I was close. Edward picked up on this and brought his hand from my hip to my throbbing bundle of nerves. He began to rub it roughly and drove me that much closer to the edge. I leaned down to give Edward a searing kiss and that's when I lost it. I saw stars burst behind my eyelids as Edward continued to pound into me relentlessly. After only a few more thrust from Edward, he exploded inside of me.
I continued to lay on top of Edward until he moved me onto my side. I sighed when I felt him slip out of me; I would never tire of being this way with him. I cuddled up to Edward to enjoy the bubble of bliss we were in.
"Thank you so much" I said as I turned to look at Edward.
"You don't have to thank me, love." Edward chuckled.
"I know, I'm just so glad I found someone as good as you." I said, kissing his cheek.
With that we both drifted into a very peaceful sleep; forgetting the stressful day we had.
~.~.~ABM~.~.~
When I woke up the next morning, I was being crushed to Edward's chest. I tried my best to untangle myself from his arms, but every time I would almost get away his arms would warp around me tighter than before. I really didn't want to wake him; he just looked so peaceful. But, I also really had to pee. Being pregnant will do that to you. I finally decided to just give up and wake him.
"Edward. Edward, wake up." I said while shaking him.
"Hmmph..What?"
"I need to pee and you won't let go of me." I said still trying to free myself from his arms.
"Oh, sorry love."
Edward let go of me and I proceeded to make my way into the bathroom. After I took care of business I brushed my teeth and put my clothes on for the day. I put on a simple sundress because it starting to get hotter and hotter around here and I also didn't want to fool with any pants.
When I emerged from the bathroom Edward was starting to make the bed, so like the good wife I am, I went over to help him.
"You look beautiful, love." Edward said, coming over to give me a kiss.
"Yeah right." I said, putting the last of the pillows on the bed.
"I mean it; you look good for the baby shower."
"Crap, I forgot that was today. I don't think I can handle so much Alice." I said, putting my face in Edward's neck.
"I think you'll survive, Bella." Edward chuckled.
Edward grabbed my hand and we headed down the stairs together to get a late breakfast. When we got to the kitchen Edward walked over to the fridge and I went to sit at the breakfast bar.
"Omelet?" Edward asked.
"You know me so well." I said with a grin.
Edward had my omelet fixed it record time and I had it down in record time. I had a nagging feeling that I would hate the taste of eggs after this pregnancy was over.
"What time do we have to be at your parents for the baby shower?" I asked Edward.
"We should probably leave right now actually." Edward said pulling me towards the door.
We got into the Volvo and made the journey toward the outskirts of town to Carlisle and Esme's house. I always liked where their house was located. It was very secluded; no one would ever think there was a house there.
We soon pulled up to the massive house and got out of the car. We walked up to the front door hand-in-hand and walked in; worst mistake of my life. As soon as I stepped inside I was attacked by Alice who was talking a mile a minute about what we had to do.
"Alice, calm down, it's just a baby shower." I said, walking over to take a seat on the couch.
"It's not 'just a baby shower', Bella." She said annoyed.
I looked around the living room and saw that Alice had pretty much everything set up already. She had all the food on one table and a separate table for people to put their gifts on. Across from that were the party favors she had made up.
Edward walked over to the couch and sat down next to me. "How are you feeling?" He asked.
"Just a little tired and overwhelmed." A said resting my head on his shoulder.
"Don't worry, when this is over we can go home and sleep all we want." Edward said while he leaned down to place a sweet kiss on the crown of my head.
Edward and I didn't have to wait much longer for people to start arriving. There weren't really that many, just some people Esme knew and some teachers I used to work with. It was honestly a pretty good baby shower. We got more than enough diapers and wipes, but you can never have too many of those. We also got some outfits for when Monroe was a little older, which I thought was nice since we already have way too many clothes for when he's little. I would have to say my favorite gift came from Carlisle and Esme. They had gotten Edward and I a photo album with Monroe's name on the front, so we could document his first year with us. After everyone had left and everything was cleaned up, Edward and I made the trip back to our house. We walked in and went straight to the bedroom. I stripped and put on one of Edward's shirts and climbed into bed; Edward was close behind me. I cuddled up to Edward and kissed him sweetly.
"Did you have a good time today?" He asked me, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear.
"Yeah, I really like the photo album your mom and dad got us." I said, letting a yawn slip out at the end.
Edward laughed and put his hand on my stomach. As always Monroe started kicking and that put a smile on mine and Edward's face.
"I can't wait until he gets here." Edward said leaning down to kiss my belly.
"Me neither." I said and comfortably drifted off to sleep.
