I don't own any of the Twilght books!
I promise Esme will warm up to Bella. Imagine Bella's name double strikethrough, it wouldn't work like that here for osme reason :(
BPOV
I woke up confused, I barely remember coming to bed. I still had Edward's anorak on me, the one he gave me at his house. I went to the kitchen to make some breakfast.
While I waited for the eggs to boil, I slipped my hand in the pocket and my hand wrapped against something. I took it out and frowned at the piece of paper.
Things I am thankful for. That's how it started. It must have been since Thanksgiving, that horrible night.
1. My Volvo
2. Bella Tanya EMMETT
3. Peter
The shimmer from the water that got on my cooking machine brought me back to reality.
"Shit! I just cleaned you!" I muttered and took the eggs off it.
Why Emmett? And who was Peter? Why had he even put Tanya there? And why in the world was my name double strikethrough?
I peeled the eggs and put them on a plate, then I cut some bread. All the time thinking of the list that now lay on the table.
Edward's hands around me, lying on my stomach startled me. He nuzzled in my neck and moaned softly.
"Morning." I whispered.
"Hi. No coffee?" He asked, his voice laced with sleep.
"Don't…talk about it." I groaned.
"Sorry. Can you bear the smell? I need some." He whispered.
"Let's try and see what happens. The worst is to end up throwing up." I laughed. Edward kissed my forehead and busied himself with my coffee maker. He had mastered how to use it.
It turned I could bear the smell of coffee, so now we were seated at the table, munching on the eggs.
"What's this?" Edward asked gesturing to his list. "OH shit…it was in the anorak?" he groaned.
"Yes…Who is Peter?" I asked
"The one who made the tattoo."
"Oh…"
We looked each other in the eye for a minute, until I blurred out, "Why is my name double strikethrough? Why is Tanya there? WHY is the Volvo the first one??"
"Easy, there…I couldn't very well put you on the list, as much as I wanted. So I doubled crossed your name so no one will read the name. Tanya…well, I HAD to, but I ended up putting Em, as you see. It was he who told me about the reunion! The Volvo…it was my first love…" Edward sighed and fake wiped a tear.
"Shower and then we go and look for that car you wanted?" I offered.
"As in…together?" He asked hopefully.
"Yes." I whispered. Edward picked me up carefully and walked to the bathroom, kissing me all the way there. I was just thinking how we hadn't bumped in anything when he bumped my head on the door frame of the bathroom.
"Fuck! I'm sorry, love. Where did I hurt you?" he asked panicked and massaged the general area on my scalp where he thought he hit me.
"I'm fine. And it's on the other side…the bump." I giggled.
"Tell me your list." He whispered while adjusting the water. We stepped in the shower and I went under the spray. Edward's arms came around me and he pressed our bodies close together.
"One. You, of course." I sighed making Edward laugh. "Two. My job. No. The tree in front of my old house, in Forks. And three, Math."
"Really, now?" he laughed and picked me up, pressing my back on the wall. "No more worries!"
"What?" I asked distracted by his kisses on my neck.
"No more…protection. I can feel you." Edward murmured in my neck, sucking on a spot; he was going to leave a hickey, but I didn't care.
I trailed my hand on his wet body making him shiver and he bit gently on my neck; my head dropped back, smacking it on the wall when Edward started running his fingers along my ribcage and close to my juncture. A hand touched lightly my inner thigh making me giggle and he paused for a second in his actions.
"Ticklish." I whispered afraid of the consequences.
Edward didn't seem to hear me, too preoccupied to ravage my neck and his fingers finally found their destination. My hand dropped to his ass and I squeezed earning a groan from him.
"Bella…I want…not like this…" Huh? He didn't want this?
"What?" I asked dumbfounded.
Edward closed the water, which had turned cold and wrapped a towel around my back, walking back to the bed. He laid me down gently, took my hands in his and entered me slowly. The fire in his eyes was too much for me to wrap my mind around what I was seeing. I almost saw his soul that very second, it was too profound this moment and I won't resist if I kept watching his expressive green eyes, so I closed mine.
"No! Open your eyes." Edward commanded in a strained voice. I could see his Adam apple bobbing up and down, his neck muscles were strained, as well as his arms' muscles, his fingers squeezing mine while he moved in me slowly, languorously. It was all too much and I couldn't take it, I cummed. Edward's eyes widened and he bit his bottom lip, concentrating. He managed to hold and changed our position. He sat with his ass on his heels and dragged me on his lap, holding me to his chest and moving his hips gently, I moved mine, too and he groaned.
"I love mmm you." Edward whispered in my ear.
"I love you more." I moaned in his ear and bit his earlobe. I felt him twitch inside me and his movements got more uncoordinated.
I could feel his cock so much more that ever now, this position was so intimidate letting me feel every bit of my man. I winded my finger in his crazy locks bringing our mouth together. The second our tongues touched, Edward shouted and cummed inside me in a few long spurs; I clamped on him and milked him again. He tumbled back on the bed breathing hard.
"Jesus! You'll be the death of me, woman." Edward groaned and took deep breaths of air. I fell next to him and hugged him to me, giggling. I felt so much better. My foul mood from yesterday forgotten.
My fingers traced the tattoo and he shuddered making me grin.
"I love these lyrics. Did you know? But seeing them here, means a lot to me. I can't tell you what I felt when I saw them…" I confessed.
"Honestly, I almost burst in tears when Peter finished it and I saw them there. It felt as if I had you close, but still no where to be seen." Edward told me in a hoarse voice.
Now we were in a Ford agency where Edward was talking with a clerk about the car. He was enthusiastic and flinging his arms around and grinning like a fool. We had managed to gain enough strength and get dressed, hop in a taxi and come here.
Edward came skipping to me. The man actually skipped like a little girl. He wrapped me in a big hug and peppered my face with kisses.
"Edward?" I squirmed, getting uncomfortable with the display of affection in a public place. I still wasn't used to this. I have always hid my relationship with him, but now we were a normal couple.
"I –kiss- got –kiss- the car –kiss-." He whispered in between kisses.
"Really? So fast? Just an hour?" I teased him making him pout and a look of concern appear on his face.
"Are you okay? You stayed here…on this seat? Not feeling well? Ha-"
"Shh I'm fine. Just got bored." I whispered blushing. I had made him worry for nothing.
"Mr. Cullen?" The clerk called his name.
"Come. See the beauty." Edward grinned at me. He took my hand and dragged me there.
Holy cow! I appreciated a car when I liked it. I loved this one! The lines, the curves…and it was BLACK! What happened with Edward's obsession for silver? The headlights had an amazing design, the whole car…it made my heart thump wildly. I had never seen something so arousing, besides Edward. God, Bella…this pregnancy is bad for you! A car…arousing, really?
"So? Do you like it, love?" Edward's voice brought me back from my lust-induced daze of the car.
"I love it." I said blushing furiously. I was fucking wet.
Edward talked some more with the clerk and he came to me with two sets of keys.
"It's done. I have to pay for it for a few months. It's worth every cent." He chuckled and opened the door for me. Is he serious? He wants me to step inside? I am afraid I'd violate the beauty if I touch it.
"Come on, love. Hop in. We're going to see the house and test the Taurus." He laughed and gestured to the car. I shuddered. Taurus. It earned its name. I had a red sweater…and I became wetter thinking of how it could slam me and take me its- Stop thinking about the car like that! I hopped in and while Edward rounded it to get to his door, I rubbed my legs to alienate the wetness, my discomfort; I touched the dashboard gently, it was smooth and cold.
"What's wrong, Bella? You are flushed…do you need some cold air?" Edward asked concerned. I shook my head.
He started the car and I couldn't hold back the moan that escaped at the sound and the vibration of the purring engine. Edward shot me a confused look and I bit my lip, blushing. He'll think I'm mad.
While he drove grinning, I got lost in the feelings the car gave me and how smooth it flew across the streets. I had no idea what was going on with me. I usually don't pay attention to cars. One reason I don't have a car, as much as I love to drive…I have no clue how a car should be. THIS car…changed my conception about cars. Edward will be deeply hurt if I told him I loved this one more than the Volvo. Maybe he felt this way about the Volvo…No! Of course, he didn't…I can't believe I am turned on so badly by a car. That moment, Edward revved it and I looked at him incredulously. Did he want me to cum by this car's purring?
Soon we stopped in front of a big house.
"Here we are." Edward murmured and looked at the house with a lazy grin on his face.
"Edward…" I can't believe I'm going to tell him this.
"Ilovethecar" I rushed out blushing.
"I love it, too. Could you feel the purring?" he asked and turned to me, taking in my red cheeks.
"Yes…it made me…from the first second I saw it…." I stopped rambling. I couldn't tell him that!
"You what?" he asked concerned and amused.
I couldn't answer so I took his hand and put it against my damp knickers. I had worn a skirt today.
"Holy mother of…..BELLA!" Edward retracted his hand as if it burnt and looked pained around. He jumped out, came to me, took me in his arms closed the door and then rushed to the house. He fumbled with the keys and opened the door after five minutes.
The house was magnificent from the inside, better than the pictures showed it.
Edward pressed me to the closed door and attacked me.
"I can't…oh God! You are turned on by the car!" Edward groaned and grounded his hips in mine. I could feel his erection pressing in my stomach and I jumped up, wrapping my legs around his waist.
"There's something wrong with me…" I whispered scared.
"No, love. You are sane and I love you so much, I can't believe the car has done that to you! And I am not even jealous of it making you wet. I can help you with that." He told me enthusiastically.
"Show me the house. It's only normal to show someone around when you take one in a new house." I teased him. Edward stopped molesting my breasts and narrowed his eyes at me. He watched me carefully for a few minutes, sighed and settled me on the floor taking my hand and leading me to a door on the left.
"Kitchen." He pointed out. "To your right you have the living room. Further there, under the stairs will be my piano room." We ascended and on the first floor he pointed out a few rooms, on the second floor was a room he thought it would be nice to be our bedroom, then on the third floor it was only a door. We got in there and looked around it. We could put things we won't need here, memories.
On the way downstairs, Edward pressed me to a wall, "I can't wait to have you again." He murmured in my neck.
"Can we do something first?" I asked anxiously. Edward muttered something in my neck but didn't move away. "Edward! I want to call Charlie." I said. This got his attention.
"Tell me you are joking! Not now, Bella." He looked scared. "He will catch the first flight here and kill me!"
"He won't! Just, please… for me, let's call him." I pleaded.
He walked me to the living room where was a mattress and we sat there, wrapped in a thick, woolen blanket.
"Hello?" Charlie answered. I glanced at Edward and at the phone in my hand. It was on speaker.
"Hi!" I whispered.
"I didn't expect you to call so soon. How are you, honey?" Edward shook his head, pleading me with his eyes not to tell Charlie, but I had to.
"About that…you know how I've been sick-"
"What's wrong, Bella? What do you have?" Charlie cut me worried.
"She's fine, don't fuss up!" I heard Sue yell at him. She knew! Of course she knew…Don't drink champagne.
"Dad…I'mpregnant!" I blurred out.
"WHAT? Tell me I didn't hear right!" he yelled. Shit!
"I…"
"Charlie, it's Edward. We just found out. I had no idea; I still want to marry her. I love your daughter." Edward explained.
"Of course you will marry her!" Charlie screamed. I could see his red face and the vein pulsing on his temple.
"Dad, we just wanted to let you know…that I am…pregnant." I told him.
"I can't wait to hear what Renee has to say about this!" How could I forget about Renee?
"I'll call her soon." I said.
"Okay, Bella. I guess I'm happy, let me digest the news. I am going to be a grandpa." He grunted.
"Yes, you will be. Bye, Charlie."
"Bye, kids. Take care of her, Cullen!"
"Always, sir." I hung up and sighed in relief. It went far better than how I thought it will go.
"Bella?" Edward asked and pressed his chest to my back.
I was lost in thoughts, how happy I was now. How…I knew that I was pregnant…I shuddered thinking of the last time I had been pregnant.
"'mmmkay." I moaned when he kissed my neck.
"Something's bugging you. What is it?"
"I am extremely happy." I said honestly.
"But…?" Edward trailed off and turned me in his arms.
"All my dreams are coming true. You are finally only mine. Nothing in between us…" I explained.
"Bella! Don't change the subject! I know what's wrong." He sounded convinced of that, although I doubt he knew it.
"You do?" I asked slightly scared.
"Yes. Nothing will happen. Now, you know that you pregnant and I will take care of you." He really knew about my fears. "Bella, I'd never let anything happen to you or to this baby." I sighed and snuggled in his arms.
"I…don't want to get married" he stiffened at my words, " right now. After the baby is born, please."
"As long as you marry me, anytime you want." He chuckled and relaxed.
My phone vibrated, telling me I had a message.
We need to talk. Come over when you can. Bring that imbecile with you. Rosie.
"What? She wants me there? In her house, close to Emmett? She really doesn't love me." Edward muttered.
"He won't touch you again." I murmured and hugged him.
"Mama bear in action." He chuckled and kissed my cheek. I pinched his arm. "Hey!" he protested.
"Wait! I have to go back in the car?" I asked, my eyes wide.
"Sure. And, tonight, when we get home we talk about how you want the house painted and furnished." Edward told me and helped me up.
I took tentative steps towards the car and got inside. The effect was immediate. I reacted to the velvet leather and the smell of it, and when Edward started it, I bit my lip hard to keep from moaning and embarrassing myself further.
"Love, are you okay?" he teased me and put his hand on my leg, keeping it there.
I distracted myself by calling Rose to tell her we are coming.
"Finally! What took you s long?" Rose asked when she answered the door and shoved us inside.
"We weren't home." I said.
"You got it?" Emmett boomed and bounded down the stairs, beaming like a little kid. Edward looked mildly scared but nodded. His brother pushed him back outside in the cold air and they went to look at the car.
"Well, that was easy. I thought he will still be angry." I said amused watching Emmett circling the car and exclaiming something to Edward who laughed and started explaining something.
"Emmett is a big kid. If you know how to take him, you've got the best child. He can be annoying at times. Let's go sit and talk while they act like children." Rose walked me to the living room.
"Tea?" I nodded and she brought two cups of steaming tea.
"Thanks. How are you?" I asked.
She looked at me for a minute and giggled, "Horny."
I sputtered on my tea. "Excuse me?"
"It happens…after the morning sickness is gone."
"Only morning? All day sickness. I feel bad for saying no, but my stomach turned in bad ways when Edward touched me today. I wanted it, but I couldn't take it…I'm not making sense." I sighed.
"You are. I know how you feel. And you denied him? He looks happy."
"Of course I didn't deny him! I can't." I told her, blushing.
"Oh, Bella." She shook her head and took a sip of the tea. "Really, how do you feel? You know what I mean."
"I am…coping. Edward is right. I know I am pregnant and nothing will happen, but I am scared…what if…something happens."
"Don't think like that! Where were you, if not home?" she asked curious.
"We bought the car…and Edward showed me the house." I grinned. Rose looked confused.
"What house?"
"The one I brought for us." Edward said as he came in and lounged on the couch next to me.
"What do you think of it? Big enough?" asked Emmett watching me closely.
"Sure. It's better than the flat. I've always wanted to live in a house." I said.
"You knew and you didn't tell me?!?" Rose yelled and glared at Emmett.
"Babe…Edward made me and Jasper swear we won't tell a word." Nice save, Em.
"So you kept this form me!" Rose turned to Edward.
"Rose…why will you care if Edward bought a house?" I asked. She narrowed her eyes at me for not being on her side.
"Babe, don't be mad at us. We wanted to keep it a secret. " Emmett pacified her. Rose huffed but settled back in her armchair, sipping from her tea.
"How are you, love?" Edward murmured and pulled me on his lap.
"Okay. Now." I grinned and pecked him quickly. He dragged me closer, keeping a hand on my ass making me blush. I put my head on his shoulder and stayed quiet while he talked with Emmett about a case they wanted to get.
"When are you going back to work?" Rose asked me.
"January…I think. I have to talk with Mike, maybe I won't have to go so often." I mused, thinking how nice it will be to have a longer vacation.
"But I want Sarah. You get the best ones, always!" Emmett moaned.
"I'm sorry, Em. She came to me." Edward emphasized the last word. Who was Sarah?
"Who's Sarah?" I blurred out before I realized I said anything.
Emmett launched in an explanation about her looks and money, while Edward groaned and muttered something about "decency and respect for people".
"I really don't get her!" Emmett finished.
"Because you never had her!" Edward chuckled and looked proud.
"Why divorce when you'd marry the same guy not two moths later??" Emmett asked exasperated.
"That is private information." Edward told him coolly. I could see lawyer Edward in action. They kept arguing, Edward blocking all of Emmett's questions and stating.
"Emmett. Stop bothering him!" I snapped at him, I could see Edward was getting annoyed by his brother's behavior.
Edward tightened his arms around me and breathed angrily in my neck. I stroked his hair, trying to calm him.
"Don't let him bother you. He is immature, you know that." I whispered and kissed his cheek.
"Ahh you make me sick. Aren't they sickening sweet?" Emmett asked Rose and they started laughing.
Edward closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "I love my family." He muttered under his breath.
"Do you want to go? We can go." I told him. His eyes snapped open, and he nodded violently.
"Of course you aren't leaving yet! We'll have dinner in family. Alice and Jazz are coming, too. After that…movie time!" Emmett shouted.
The doorbell buzzed and I squirmed in Edward's lap, anxious. Alice hadn't said anything yesterday, what was she thinking about me?
"Alice loves you. She will never judge you. Jazz, on the other hand, holds grudges." Edward explained and kissed my lips slowly, settling a hand over my stomach. "I love you."
"I love you, too. I'll go help Rose with dinner. Don't let your brothers bother you, please." I murmured.
"Have no fear. You'll find him unharmed." Emmett grinned at me and pushed me towards the kitchen.
"Don't push her! What if she fell? She's caring my child!" Edward yelled.
"Possessive obsessive much?" I heard Jasper mutter as I passed him on my way to the kitchen.
Edward was in for a long evening. As was I.
"Bella! This is so awesome!" Alice jumped on me when I entered the kitchen.
"What is awesome?" I asked disentangling myself from her and went to Rose who was peeling potatoes. "What can I do?"
"Nothing. Just stay there. Alice, please!" Rose exclaimed.
Alice sat next to me bouncing on the chair, "So..." she trailed off watching me excited.
I raised an eyebrow not getting her.
"You are both pregnant! Do you like the house? Have you thought of names? Don't be upset with Esme, she will warm in time. Ohh I'm soooo excited!" Alice squealed.
"Whoa! One at a time, please." I told her getting dizzy by her agitation.
"How did you know about the house?" huffed Rose. Alice tapped her head smirking and turned to me clapping her hands. I didn't like the glint in her eyes.
"What, Alice? I love the house! If that's what you want to hear. Tell me what happened yesterday after we left." I said, I really wanted to know that.
"Not much. We called it a day and left. Esme is not really happy about this, but she will warm up. Next time we go shopping, we're taking her with us!" Alice said. Say what? Shopping? Me...I don't go shopping!
I heard my phone ring from the other room. It was the ring tone I had for patients. Who was mad enough to call during break?
Edward brought me the phone looking slightly flustered for some reason.
Jacob. Oh God…what had he done now?
"Excuse me." I muttered to the girls and went to the hallway. "Hello, Jake."
"Ms. Sawn, I'm sorry to interrupt your holiday-"
"Jake, it's Bella for the last time and…what happened?" I cut him off. I heard him breathing irregularly.
"I've done it! It is a month since I made Leah cry. Thank you so much! I wanted to say Happy Holidays." He laughed. I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Jacob. Tell Leah I said hi, okay? Happy Holidays for you, too. Now, be good and don't upset her." I said feeling proud of this accomplishment. He truly had changed.
"Of course! I wouldn't dream of hurting her again! Good bye, Bella!" he told me.
"Bye!" I said back and snapped the phone shut.
I went back in the kitchen and we kept talking until my phone took off again. This time another name flashed on the screen, a name I haven't thought of in a long time. Jared.
Rose screamed upon seeing the name and glanced at me; I shrugged and took the phone in my shaking hand.
"H-hello?" My voice shook as I answered.
"Izzy!" The accent and the memories his voice brought back made everything go black. I faintly heard someone yell my name but I drowned in the blackness.
Reviews will explain more. Who do you think Jared is? I'd love to hear your opinion.
The car is on the web, think of it as a black one.:)
