Chapter fourteen: An unneeded rescue

Edward's pov

Just as dad mentioned calling Charlie to explain things, my mother swooped into the room with a mischievous smile on her face.

"Edward, darling. I've missed you," she gushed as she hugged me tightly.

I opened my mouth to tell her I missed her too, but stopped cold when I saw a woman my mother's age and three girls that were my age, filing into the room. Confused I turned to my mother.

"What is going on here?"

"Oh, well... You see Tanya called her mother last night, utterly distraught about this girl you were going to bring home, what was her name again? Berta?"

"No mom, it's Bella," I sighed, already exasperated.

"Oh, right. Well I heard she's purposefully gotten herself pregnant and is now trying to trick you into marrying her."

I rolled my eyes. "Mom, sit down and listen, okay?"

"Of course sweetie."

I turned to the Denali women, shooting a death glare at Tanya, whose smug smile evaporated as soon as she saw my livid expression. "You girls better sit down and listen very carefully, because I will not explain myself again."

From the corner of my eye I saw dad leave the room, but I couldn't care less. I needed my mother and these conniving Denali girls to know exactly what was going on and how I would never give up on Bella for anything.

"Mom, I don't know what dad told you about Bella, but she's Chief Swans's daughter. The one you and dad always raved about when I came home from college over the past couple of years?"

Esme gasped and then blushed. "Oh, Edward, I am so sorry. I had no idea we were talking about her. If I did, I never would have invited the girls here today. It's just that Tanya made her out to be a girl with few morals and I stupidly believed her."

"You always only see the good side in people, mom, so I can't say I blame you for believing one of your friend's daughters over a girl you never even met, but next time, talk to me first?"

"Of course, of course."

"Well, then let me explain what happened with me and Bella. As you may or may not have heard through dad, Bella and I met at a party not too long ago. We really hit it off that night and after one or two minor misunderstandings, we started dating each other."

Esme smiled warmly at me and squeezed my hand. "Go on."

"Not too long ago, Bella was attacked by someone she though was her friend and that really stressed her out. It took us a long time to get over that together. In that time she blamed her lack of period on the stress, but then when she started feeling sick and things, she did a pregnancy test. It turned out to be positive."

I inhaled deeply before continuing. "She left me the choice to stay or walk away. Mom, I love her so damn much, I can't tell you how happy I was when I learned I was going to be a father. I asked her to marry me because I love her and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I really hope you can come to terms with that."

My mother was crying by the time I finished and while sniffling nodded vehemently. "I'm so sorry for doubting your judgement, Edward. It's just that Tanya was always sort of a look out for me while you were in college. She'd keep an eye on you from afar and when she first started mentioning this girl you were seeing, I guess I kind of panicked. Tanya didn't help matters by making me believe she wasn't good enough for you."

"Well," I sighed, shooting Tanya anther scowl. "Tanya is not exactly a good judge of the situation, because in all my time in college she never even talked to me until the night I proposed to Bella. She threatened her while they were a guest at our engagement party. Mom, do me a favour and never believe another word that girl tells you."

Mrs. Denali slowly stood and walked forward. "Edward, on behalf of my eldest daughter I wish to apologize. She had all of us believing the wrong things. I promise you that not Esme's nor mine intent was to see you hurt. We only hoped to see you happy with someone."

"But I am. With Bella. That is, if she'll still have me..." I trailed off.

Bella's pov.

I caught part of Edward's heated defence and it melted my heart, but when he said that last part, I felt like such a fool for making him doubt my love for him.

"Of course, I'll still have you. If you can forgive me for my stupid tendency to see the glass as half empty and subsequently doubting myself," I spoke, loud enough for everyone to hear.

Edward's head snapped up and I could see the hope in his eyes. "Do you mean it, because I can't take another argument like that."

"I mean it. I am so sorry."

He stepped towards me and rather roughly pulled me into his arms. His lips crashed down onto mine, setting my body on fire. I vaguely registered a disgusted sound coming from Tanya, but I couldn't care less.

My hands twisted in his hair as his hands slid down to my bottom. He pulled me close to him and I felt his erection press into my belly. I was about to hitch a leg over his hip when my father's distinct grumble caught my attention.

My cheeks flaming brightly, I pulled away, giving Edward a sheepish smile. Slowly I turned back to my father, who, much to my surprise, was grinning like a fool.

"Edward, son, welcome to the family," he grinned as he stretched out his hand.

Edward chuckled as he shook my dad's hand. "Thank you so much Charlie. It means a lot to me that you're accepting me as your future son-in-law."

"Don't mention it, son. Your dad and I have talked about getting you together with Bells for a while and I'm actually quite pleases that we were right."

Edward's mother cleared her throat and shot both my father as well as Dr. Cullen a meaningful glare. "You two have some apologies to make. First of all to Edward and Bella. Because you never told me any of your scheming and what you heard about those two, I have been worrying about Edward for nothing. If you would have simply told me they were dating and happy together, I would have seen through Tanya's lies so much sooner and not tried to set Edward up with one of these girls."

"Second of all you need to apologize to Carmen and her girls for the exact reason I just mentioned. And third I expect an apology for not including me. I would have loved to help you set Bella and Edward up."

I snickered hen I took in their faces. Both dad and Dr. Cullen looked like schoolboys being scolded by their favourite teacher. Edward buried his face in my neck and shook with silent laughter.

"Well," Esme said as she turned to us. "I owe you an apology, Bella dear. I let myself be led by Tanya's assessments and haven't given you an honest chance. I am so sorry. You must think I am such a hateful woman to try and push another girl on my son when he is already with you."

I stepped forward. "No, Mrs. Cullen, please don't apologize. If I had been in your shoes, I would have trusted the information of a family friend and I would have been just as doubtful as you were."

She gently hugged me before stepping away and walking Mrs. Denali and her daughters to the front door.

"If you will excuse me and Bella, we have something to discuss," Edward told our fathers right before he dragged me up the stairs and into his bedroom.

Edward's pov

I felt so overwhelmed that I just had to get Bella out of there and into my arms. I needed to taste her mouth and feel her body against mine. So when we entered my room, I kicked the door closed with my foot, while my mouth devoured hers.

Bella moaned softly as our tongues met and I pushed her lightly up against the wall. Bella's hands were pulling on my hair, while I was trying to get her shirt up and off of her. She gasped, arching her back into me as my mouth found her hardened nipples through the fabric of her bra.

We were both moaning, completely forgetting about our parents who were downstairs. I needed to be inside her.

"God, Edward, I want you," Bella breathed.

"Then get those fucking pants off, Bella. I want to be inside you."

Bella's eyes widened at my words, but then she was eagerly pushing her jeans down her legs. As soon as she stepped out of them, I lifted her off the floor and wrapped her legs around my waist. As Bella clung to me, I quickly opened my jeans and shoved them down far enough to free my dick from it's confines.

"Hang on, baby, because I'm going to fuck you against the wall."

"Edward!" Bella exclaimed. "I've never heard you talk like that."

"Well I was never quite in a roller-coaster like today baby," I explained softly.

She nodded. "Then fuck me, Edward."

With one powerful thrust I filled her to the hilt. We both sucked in sharp breaths at the sudden feeling. I waited for a couple of seconds before lifting her a little higher and starting to pump into her wet heat.

"You're mine and I am never letting you go," I grunted in her ear. "No man will ever fuck you like I do. No man will see you naked. Only me, always me."

"Oh, god Edward! Yes, yes, I'm yours. Only yours."

I groaned as she shifted her hips, making my angle of penetration even deeper.

"You're...so damn...tight and wet. God, Bella!"

Bella clapped her hand over her mouth to muffle her screams as she clamped down on me as her orgasm overtook her. I placed my forehead to her shoulder and stilled so I could focus on holding out a little longer.

When she came down from her high I started moving in her again, slower this time. When I sensed that Bella was getting closer again, I started moving faster.

"I'm going…" she gasped. "God, Edward!"

As her walls gripped me again, I lost myself in the pleasure that rocked through me. I barely had the sense to keep myself upright.

I gripped Bella tighter and walked over to my bed. I gently laid her down and crawled in behind her.

"Do we need to set an alarm?" Bella asked softly.

"I'll give us an hour, then we need to face our parents."

Bella groaned. "I am not looking forward to that. I am sure they heard us."

I grinned and pressed a kiss to her shoulder blade. "So what? It's not like they don't know we have done it before, Bella. You are pregnant after all."

"Oh, shush. It's different than hearing us go at it, Cullen."

"I know. I'm just too happy to care."

Bella turned in my arms to kiss me. "I love you so much and anytime you need to prove to me how much I belong to you, you are welcome to do it like you just did."

"I will and should the need ever arise for you, I am all yours."

An hour later my alarm woke us from our nap. Bella glared at it while she slammed her hand down on it.

"Love? Everything okay?"

'No. That damn alarm pulled me out of a dream and it was a good dream."

I chuckled. "What were you dreaming of?"

"The baby after it was born. I felt so happy, Edward. You were standing behind me with your arms around my waist and I had the baby in my arms. Couldn't tell if it was a boy or a girl, though."

My heart leaped at the image her words conjured. "That sounds like a wonderful dream, love. We need to get up, though, before our parents start worrying."

"Do you mind if I take a quick shower?"

"Go ahead, love. I will go down to talk to them."

She smiled, gave me a quick kiss and then hurried into my bathroom. After getting dressed, I walked downstairs in search of my parents and Charlie. I stopped short when I heard their hushed voices.

"I think they'll do great as parents," Charlie murmured.

"But they're so young. We should offer them a way to get out of this," Esme replied.

"What do you suggest? Abortion is out of the question if I know my daughter and I am sure that once the baby is born both of them will not give it up."

"Charlie, you of all people should know how hard it is to raise a kid at their age."

"I know, Esme, but they are both a lot more mature than Renee and I were. They'll manage. We just need to support them whichever way we can. Just think about it, you'll be a grandma who is young enough to actually enjoy this."

My mother sighed. "I suppose you are right. I'm just worried for the both of them. They deserve to enjoy their youth."

"They can do that even when they have a kid as long as they have us to fall back on."

Swallowing hard I walked back up the stairs. I was going to get Charlie an amazing gift for backing us up like that.
