Twilight is not mine!
We're almost Tanya-free! This story will be longer than anticipated :D
BPOV
"I need my lucky shirt!" the little boy in front of me demanded.
"It's in the hamper! Get another one. Look, this grey-" I reasoned.
"No! No! Daddy!!!!!" Edward appeared in the door way.
"Listen to your mother, put that on you and go down to Uncle Emmett" The kid listened and disappeared from the room. Edward's arms circled me and rubbed my large belly. "I love you"
I woke up with a start, I was sitting up on the bed, gasping. What was that?
"Bella, love? Are you ok?" Edward asked, rubbing my back.
"I think so…" I murmured, my voice trembling.
He took me in his arms, "Happy birthday, my love" Edward whispered in my ear. Oh yes! What a way to wake up on my birthday! I turned in his arms and smiled up at him.
"I have something for you" he murmured and jumped off the bed. He came back with a little box.
"You know I hate it when you spend money on me"
"Open it. I'm anxious" he said running a hand through his wild hair. I opened the box and burst in tears when I saw the beautiful pendant on the golden necklace. The pendant was oval, with an angel in it and a star above the angel, I was positive the star was a diamond. Edward never did things half way. I didn't want to think how much he had spent on it.
"Bella?" his voice broke through my thoughts, it sounded tense.
"I love it! I love you!" I jumped in his arms and kissed him.
"Anything for you. I love you, too. Let me put it on" he clasped it and the pendant fell between my breasts.
Edward started to kiss me everywhere he could reach and soon we were naked and making love. We poured our hearts in it; I've never felt his love stronger than now. We didn't leave the bed until five o'clock.
"Put the dress on, please. I want to take you to dinner" Edward pleaded me.
"It's beautiful, but Edward…it's too much. The V-neck is too deep and the split is too big, imagine how much I'll reveal when I sit down"
"Bella, don't be difficult. Come on" he pouted. I couldn't resist him. So I put the beautiful dress on. A Chanel. Then I saw the shoes.
"You want me dead!" I screamed from the bath. He burst in the bathroom scared, then he saw the shoes in my hand and smirked.
"I'll be with you, I won't let you fall" I had the urge to kick him in the head with the heel of the shoe.
When I got out of the bathroom, Edward was frowning in a mirror, trying to tame his hair. I went behind him and ruffled said hair.
"It took me ten minutes to flatten it!" he groaned, then he turned and saw me. "Forget about dinner!"
"No! We are going to dinner as you wanted" I said, tugging at the fabric in a futile attempt to make it longer.
Edward put his jacket on me and took my hand leading me out of the hotel. We took a cab to a restaurant. Everyone was looking at me.
"I hate you" I murmured to Edward. His grin widened.
"They're jealous" he whispered and kissed my heated cheek.
I was aware of my heels clicking on the hallway of the restaurant and I could feel eyes on me. Thankfully, Edward asked for a secluded table. We sat and ordered.
"I love the dress on you" he admired.
"Sure, you can see everything!" I groaned.
"Calm down! Why don't you tell me about your dream?" my eyes widened. Could I?
"Don't panic! Just a dream. We were together…and we had a little boy and I was pregnant again" I said smiling, remembering the beautiful little boy. With Edward's eyes and his wild hair.
Edward came next to me and took me in his arms, "Shh" he wiped my tears, I didn't even realize I was crying. "I want it, too. Oh, how I want it! I want everything with you, Bella"
He sat next to me for the rest of the dinner and touched me constantly, my arm, my leg, my hair.
"When's the plane?" I asked when we were done.
"In three hours. Let's head back"
The moment I closed the door of the room, Edward assaulted me. He shove my knickers away and just lifted me off the floor, still in the dress and lowered his pants and boxers, took a condom, almost destroying it in his haste and was in me in a matter of seconds. He groaned in relief and planted wet kisses on my shoulder, moving slowly inside me. My heels digging in his ass, my hands in his hair, keeping him as close as humanly possible.
"Remember the prom night?" Edward murmured in my neck.
"What part? The history classroom, your car or your bedroom?" I moaned.
"Bedroom. That's when I realized I wanted to spend my whole life with you"
"What song was it? Oh, it was so wonderful!" I sneaked a hand under his shirt and trailed my fingers on his chest. Edward purred like a big, oversized cat and nipped at my neck.
"Collide…mhmm…God…Howie Day, Yessss Ahh Bella"
I came apart in his arms, bringing him with me. He pulled out and I moaned at the loss.
An hour later we were in a taxi going to the airport.
"I'll go mad without you" Edward murmured while waiting in the queue.
"We'll survive" I assured him.
"I'm meeting Benton tomorrow and when Tanya is back I'm showing her the documents. Oh, Emmett knows, I'm positive. Don't panic, he won't talk"
"I figured" I sighed. I hoped he won't talk.
In the plane, I started to get nervous and I played with the necklace.
"You know why I bought an angel?" Edward murmured lowly in my ear. I shook my head. "You are my angel" he whispered and kissed me quickly.
"And you are my guardian angel" I grinned, remembering how he always seemed to be there, in high school, when I was in danger.
We stayed quiet, holding hands, listening to my iPod, dreading the landing.
In the airport, I turn my phone on and saw I had several missed calls. They were from Rosalie.
"27 times, what does he want?" I turned to Edward who was staring at his phone. "Emmett" he explained.
"Rose's been calling me, too" I said.
"There you are!" a voice boomed behind us, Emmett.
"What are you doing here?" demanded Edward.
"Go to Rose, she's there. Quick, Bella" Emmett urged me. Edward kept a firm hold on my arm. "Let her go! Tanya's here to get you home!! Bella go!" Emmett pushed me towards Rose.
"I'll call you" I heard Edward yell.
Now, not only Emmett knows, Rose knows as well. Damn it! This is getting out of hand.
"Hey, Bella" she hugged me.
"Hello" I whispered.
"Give me your address" I said it and we walked quietly to her car.
"Nice car" I said smiling.
"Not mine. Em's. We take it when we go out of town," she explained. "It's a Cadillac Escalade"
"Cool" I said watching interested the lights and its black color.
"Bella, you and cars don't mix. Stop acting interested"
"Why aren't we leaving?" I asked anxious.
"We're waiting for Em, of course. He's not stupid to stay in Tanya's way long enough. Why Edward accepted in the first place to marry her is beyond me!" Rose exclaimed angrily, slamming the steering wheel and honking, making me jump. The door open and Emmett jumped in the back seat. "Drive" he muttered. She looked at him in the rear-view mirror and fired the engine.
"What happened?" asked Rose.
"Mom dropped him on his head a lot when he was a baby! That's what happened" Emmett laughed. "Tanya hugged him and he side-stepped her. The bastard said 'Don't touch me' and demanded to know why she was back so soon. How much stupid can he get?"
"Are you sure Carmen will help? No, scratch that, are you sure Tanya won't make a scene?" asked Rose through gritted teeth.
"We all know she will fight, but Carmen said she will dig and will find shit about her"
"I have a feeling our lives will become complicated. When did this happen?" groaned Rose, gripping the steering wheel.
"Thank Bella. She brought action in our lives. Only she will cause so much trouble" Emmett chuckled and poked my shoulder.
"Why, Emmett I'm happy for entertaining you" I sneered.
"I'll wait here, help her with the luggage" Rose said as she parked in front of my building.
"She asked me if I know something about Edward cheating on her. I said nothing. The bitch is smart. Please be careful" Emmett advised me.
"I will. Thank you" he nodded and left me.
EPOV
It was November! Fucking November and I was still with Tanya, because Carmen needed something stronger than fights and different characters!
I met Bella as often as I could, that was at two days, sometimes three. I haven't touched Tanya in any way since that night when we slept together. Those had to be reason enough I had stopped loving her!
We were coming home from a Sunday in family at my parents' house. I was pushing Tanya away and Esme was stroking her ego.
I had left home around middle of October; I couldn't stay in the same house anymore. I stayed with Bella or at Emmett's. I almost groaned aloud remembering Halloween. I had to get some papers that were in my office at home. Tanya was there, waiting, of course. I somehow ended up in my old bed, bounded to it, with Tanya above with a whip. There was a God up there giving me force to rip the bounding. It was the first time I had hit her. I slapped her and called her a bitch. I had enough presence of mind to get the papers and then I fled out of the house.
I don't even want to think what she could have done if I hadn't escaped. Tonight we kept pretence for my parents.
"Edward, slow down! It snowed and there is ice" she had the nerve to tell me how to drive.
"Shut up! Just shut up! If you'd just sign the damn papers, this wouldn't have happen!" I snarled, accelerating. I had to get her home and then go away. To Bella, because, there was no way I was going to stay with pregnant Rosalie one more night. 'Oh, Edward, be a dear and go and buy me some ice-cream!' or ' I really need that' and when I gave it to her, she started screamed that it makes her sick. The car swerved a bit and Tanya screamed.
"Stop it, tiger" she purred. That did it, I had built and built range in me, now I snapped.
I slammed the breaks having in mind to get her out and continue to Bella. The car swerved again and we started spinning. Tanya's nails dug in my arm and I tried to stop the car from moving. I started to panic when I saw lights from ahead. They had to stop, they will see us. They tried to stop, but they slid towards us.
"They'll hit us!" Tanya screamed. The last attempt of chivalry, I unbuckled my seatbelt and threw my arms over her. The car hit us, on her side and sent us flying in another car, I think. I heard another crashing sound and then quiet.
I was bleeding; I could feel it on my forehead.
Tanya was crying and I saw she clutched her right leg. I moved off her and then I saw it or rather felt it. A part of the window was in my left side; my shirt was full of blood. The last thing I remember is my head hitting Tanya's bony leg when I fell.
TPOV
NO! This is not happening!
"Miss! Miss, are you ok?" someone asked from behind the window.
"Help" I told them. "I need help! He's hurt!" the man got me out of the car and a guy from ambulance got Edward.
"Where are you taking him?" I asked.
"Metropolitan Hospital Center and you should come, too. That leg looks pretty awful" the EMT said. In the ambulance I took Edward's phone from his pocket and called his father.
"Son?"
"Carlisle…it's me" I tried to stifle my tears.
"Tanya?" I could hear that everyone had quieted and let him talk.
"We had been in an accident. We're heading to Metropolitan Hospital Center"
"We'll be there" he hung up.
At the hospital they took him away and got me in a room and started taking care of my leg.
The doctor looked at me; "I'll be careful, I know you need it to look good" he smiled up at me. I frowned, not understanding him. "You're Tanya Cullen, the model" I nodded, but didn't say anything.
The door burst open and the Cullen came in.
"She just needs rest, she is ok" the doctor explained.
"My son! Tell me, is he okay??" cried Esme.
"I don't know madam, I'll send someone to update you" after that he left.
"What happened?" asked Emmett. I explained and he cursed loudly.
"If something happens to him, it's your fault!" he accused and left the room.
"But I told him to go slower" I moaned and felt the tears coming back. Alice huffed and went after Emmett, Rosalie following close by.
A doctor came in and recognizing Carlisle gestured to follow him.
I felt devastated. Edward had simply left the house on October 11th, he came back on Halloween and attacked me when I told him that I wanted to play. I was still his wife! I knew he will come home that day, Kate told me. Kate is my secret agent. She tells me everything Edward is doing. He's spending time with a woman, I figured he is cheating. I will destroy her if I find out who she is. But now I had to focus on Edward being safe. His name brought me fame, after all. Before him, no one knew me.
Carlisle came back, "He's in surgery. They are positive the glass didn't cut the lung, but they have to be sure. You should rest, we're in the waiting room" he said and led his wife and Jasper that had remained there, outside.
BPOV
I was looking through Alice's files. I could only imagine the pressure she had been under. That man constantly asking her about his future and if something didn't happen like that he called her a freak in public.
My phone took off, I glanced at the clock, 11 pm.
"Hello?" I answered without checking, typical me.
"Bella? It's Emmett"
"Hi Emmett! Why are you calling so late?" I started to panic.
"About that. I'm at Metropolitan Hospital Center. Can you make it here now?"
"What happened?" I asked feeling a wave of hysteria hitting me.
"Car accident" he said gravely.
"Who?" Please, don't say Edward!
"Edward and Tanya" I screamed.
"Bella, stay focus, please! You must come here. When he'll be out of the surgery and wake up, he'll ask for you. We both know that"
"SURGERY?? Emmett what happened??" I choked.
"Typical. They were fighting, nothing new. He hit the brakes on ice! They slid in another car or something like that. I don't know really, Tanya's shaken and can't talk. Her leg was cut. She is ok because our gentleman threw himself over her, getting stabbed by a piece of window in the process" Emmett growled.
"I'm coming!" I told him.
"OK, watch out for us, we're all here" he said and hung up.
I felt as if my world was crumbling down. Like cards, I had put cards to build the perfect life and now, they fell. I put some sneakers, grabbed a coat that I realized was Edward's and I got a cab. I felt dazed, intoxicated by the smell of his coat, imagines of him flying through my head, his smile, his frown, his hair…
"Miss, we're here" the driver looked amused at me. I threw him some money.
I rushed in the hospital and to the waiting room. There they were.
Emmett was the first to acknowledge my presence and took me in a hug. "He's out of surgery, stable" he whispered in my ear. I let the tears fall.
"Bella" Alice jumped up and rushed to me.
"Hi" I whispered. She frowned at me.
"What are you wearing?" she demanded horrified. Busted!
"Ehh"
"Yoga pants, tank top, winter coat and sneakers! Bella, seriously, no offense, but you need a shrink"
"Leave her alone" Emmett glared at Alice and put an arm around me.
"Mum, Dad, remember Bella? Chief Swan's daughter, from Forks" Emmett said to his parents.
"We saw her at Rose's birthday, Emmett" explained Carlisle, watching me closely. I blushed when his eyes looked between my face and the coat.
"Are you the Cullens?" a doctor came running to us. They nodded, "I need a Bella in room 443" he gasped. My eyes widened and I felt all eyes on me.
Emmett stepped in front of me, "Why?"
"That is the request, rather demand" he said scared and rubbed his arm, which I saw it was red. It had traces of scars, like a cat had scratched him.
"We'll be back. Come after us if there are news about Eddie" Emmett murmured and stirred me towards room 443.
"Do I want to know who is there?" I asked.
"You already know" he frowned. "Relax, I'm coming in with you" he pushed open the door. There on the bed was Tanya, surrounded by crumpled tissues, her eyes red form crying, her once arranged hair was flying in every direction and when she settled her eyes on us, they looked wild. Maybe she'll lose her mind.
Emmett closed the door, "What do you want from Bella?" he demanded.
"Assistance. I'm going mad. I swear I'll lose my mind if something happens to Edward. It's my fault! I was going to tell him the truth tonight! He is right, I'm a bitch!" she screeched.
"Tell him what?" asked Emmett, shuffling with something in his pocket.
"That I've put someone to follow him. I am stupid. I should have just accepted that he didn't like me anymore! And there's the other thing!"
"What other thing?" snapped Emmett. I tried to take in the fact that someone must have seen me with Edward.
"What I'm doing besides being a model!" So Carmen was right. She had called me tonight and told me that Tanya's a porn model, as well and I laughed at her. But it seemed that the mad woman is in a confession mode. She told us how it started, with her posing in lingerie and then, sexy pictures and then porn pictures. Tanya kept talking, apologizing, even. Emmett put his finger on his lips to tell me stay quiet and showed me his phone, it was on record. Emmett is a smart man. I smiled at him.
"I'll even sign the damn papers. I now realize, I had it coming! Just please, tell me he will be ok. I can't live with myself knowing I had…hurt him" she finished.
"Oh you hurt him a lot of times, even without realizing it" Emmett snapped at her.
She started talking nonsense and soon fell asleep. Emmett stopped the recorder and we got out.
"How did she know I was here??" I asked scared.
"Who cares? This, baby, is the last piece to help with the divorce" Emmett grinned and kissed his phone.
"Are you getting a fetish for phones?" I asked amused.
"Hush!" he groaned and hugged me side-ways.
In the waiting room were only Carlisle, Esme and Rose.
"Where are the others?" I asked.
"He woke up, we've been there, now it's Alice and Jasper's turn" explained Esme.
"We're next. What room?" questioned Emmett. I felt my heart pick up, he was awake. He was alive!
"401" Alice's voice chimed behind us. I practically dragged Emmett there.
"Slow down, he's not going anywhere"
I opened the door and went in. Edward was on the bed, his torso wrapped in bandages, a stitch on his cheek another bandage on his left arm, on his biceps. He was preoccupied with whatever it was on TV, his eyes sad.
Emmett gestured for me to be quiet.
"Eddie-teddy's alive!" he boomed. Edward jumped, visibly winced and cursed. His head turned to Emmett and then he saw me.
"Bella…" he whispered, his voice rough and his breath cut. I rushed to him and threw my arms around his neck.
"You're alive! Never, ever scare me like that!" I whispered in his neck.
"No…Emmett, please close the TV. If I see it one more time I'll puke and I can't go to bath so it will be pretty nasty"
Emmett unplugged the TV, "At least you didn't lose your sense of humor. What was there, anyway?"
"The accident. My baby is dead. They kept showing it and talking about it" Edward groaned.
"What baby?" shouted Emmett.
Edward didn't hear him, he kept muttering "My baby is dead"
Emmett took hold of Edward head and asked forcedly, "What baby?"
"My Volvo! What other baby?" Edward cried out and winced when he moved. Emmett visibly relaxed. I knew it, Edward was talking about his car, he loved it.
"I'm glad you're ok. I'll go and tell everyone to go home. The show is over. Oh, Bella…tell him the news" Emmett grinned and left.
Edward turned his head to me, "Hey, beautiful"
"Edward" I grinned at him and touched his cheek gently.
"I totally understand your hurt soldier from the story. How he could get a boner when the girl visited. You in my clothes, is a big turn on" he chuckled and then coughed wincing.
"Take it easy, insatiable boy" I could see he was excited, all right.
"So, what news was Em talking about?"
"He recorded Tanya confessing shit. Carmen called earlier and told me some things that your lovely wife confirmed not half an hour ago" I murmured, playing in his hair, distracted.
"Things…like what?" I explained him how she was tracking him and about her porn pictures.
"Wow. She really said that she will sign the papers? Call Carmen! Might as well do it now when she's drugged" Edward said excitedly.
"No, she will anyway. I saw it in her eyes, she will do it. Trust the shrink" I grinned at him.
"My shrink" he murmured, then frowned. "That sounded weird"
I kissed his forehead and took his hand in mine. "We'll be fine, finally"
"Yes. We'll buy or even build that house that we invented in your room on sleepless nights, we'll buy that dog that you wanted, we'll make the children that you've been dreaming of lately and we'll be together forever" Edward smiled brightly, squeezing my hand. It was then when I realized the absence of the cold metal.
"Where's your wedding ring?" I asked confused.
"In a drawer in my office, at work. Stay here with me" he murmured, slurring the words.
I moved to a couch opposite his bed and watched as he fell asleep with a light smile on his face.
I woke up some time later, someone was shaking me awake. I cracked an eye open and then I opened the both wide. I panicked, Edward's father was here.
"Here, it's Tylenol, you'll be sore for sleeping on that thing" gave me the pills and some water. I nodded, "Thanks" I croaked out.
He nodded and went to the machine next to Edward's bed and checked them. I saw that he had new bandages, someone had changed them.
Dr. Cullen came next to me, "I have to apologize to you, Bella. I don't know if it's possible for you to forgive me" I gaped at him.
"I took Edward away from you. I should have realized he had someone, not anyone, someone he was determinate to spend the rest of his life with. I realized it later, hours later. We had stopped for gas in Custer, Idaho somewhere. Everyone was sleeping, or so I thought. When I returned to the car, I heard sniffling. I turned and saw Edward, clutching something to his chest crying so hard I thought he'll suffocate, big, fat tears rolling from his eyes, gasping for air, but not stopping crying.
'Edward, son? What's wrong?' I had asked him and he muttered something that sounded an awful lot with 'Go to hell'. Then I saw what was in his hands, a picture, of you two from his prom and I don't want to embarrass you or anything, but he had wrapped around his wrist a pair of your knickers. I question him, knowing full well you were a minor and he told me flat out that he hates me for destroying his life, for taking his life away, that were his words. I continued driving. At night, we stopped in a motel, we booked three rooms. Edward wanted to be alone. I heard him screaming in his sleep, he was on the other side of the wall, he screamed your name.
When we finally got here, in New York, he started college. I ran in an old friend and he told me about this girl, whose parents had died, and she seemed to be what Edward needed. Or so I thought. They met and one day he came to me.
'Give me money, I want to buy a ring', I asked if he is sure and he insisted. I should have seen through it. He did it to get me off his back and I think he really loved her on some degree. He was never that Edward that he was senior year, never. Until, September. When he met you again. My son was back, he was alive again!" Carlisle finished his speech.
"Are you done embarrassing me?" rasped Edward from across the room.
"I merely apologized to her. And now I apologize to you, too. I'm sorry for being so insensible. I should have turned the car back, job be damned!"
"That you should have done" snapped Edward.
"I have other patients, I'll come by later. You'll be out in a few days, but you aren't to go to work. Bed rest, that's what you'll do" Carlisle told his son.
"I will as long as I have a good nurse" he winked at me, making me blush.
"I'm sure Tanya will be on bed rest, too" Carlisle chuckled.
"I'm talking about Bella and you know it! Ehh, not to be rude, but is…Tanya ok?" he asked.
"Sprain ankle and a few stitches on her right leg" Carlisle explained.
"Ok, see you later, dad"
We were alone, it was then that I realized it's Monday.
"What hour is it?" I jumped on my feet, searching the phone. It was ten. I groaned.
"Bella?"
"Shh, it's Monday! I have a session at 12. I should make it. I'll come back tonight, I promise" I went to him and kissed him.
"Love you" he murmured, pouting when I separated from him.
"Love you, too. Bye, Edward"
"Take care of you. I'll miss you every second" he grinned at me. I kissed his forehead and left.
Review! Pictures of the dress, necklace and car on my profile.
When I wrote the accident the were sirens blarring outside, it was creepy
