I don't own anything. I forget to put this always...but we all know that Stephenie owns it all.
Here we are. I've documented myself on what I wrote, God bless Wikipedia :D
EPOV
This was a bad day. Besides the car, I haven't done anything I wanted.
Now, sitting in my brother's living room made the day worse. Jasper was throwing me angry glares while Emmett kept joking about my relationship with Bella.
"You're frustrated!" Emmett stated, then he turned to Japer, "He's frustrated."
"See, if you're not good, you get moody, pregnant Bella?" Jasper laughed.
Then her phone rang and I took it to the kitchen; I could hear her talking with someone in the hallway, then she went back to the kitchen.
"Seriously, man! It will be better, trust me. This lasts a month or two, and then you won't take her off you!" Emmett laughed at me.
Rose screamed effectively stopping my retort, we all bounded in the kitchen in time to see Bella fall off her chair. "BELLA!" I yelled and caught her.
Rose took the phone, someone was yelling in it. She left, stumbling on her way out of the kitchen. Now I knew how to wake Bella so I asked for cologne and Alice gave me her perfume.
To my surprise and horror it didn't work, Bella just wrinkled her nose, but nothing else.
"Jazz, call Dad! Now!" I turned to my brother, then picked Bella up and carried her to the couch.
"What happened?" I asked Alice, looking at Bella.
"I've no idea. The phone rang, Rose screamed and Bella fainted. I didn't see who called." Alice whispered scared.
"Sweetie, can you hear me?" I asked, stroking Bella's hair. "Bella, wake up, come on, you're scaring me."
"WHERE ARE YOU GOING??" Emmett yelled.
"Stop screaming! I have to go somewhere...Here, her phone." Rose handed me Bella's phone looking distraught and somewhat happy at the same time.
"Rosalie, you are not leaving until you tell me where you are going!!" I haven't heard Emmett so possessive in my life. Bella's fingers twitched in mine but she didn't come around.
"I will explain everything when I come back. Promise. He is waiting for me, please Emmett." Rose pleaded.
"I'm coming with you!" he huffed.
"Fine. Just hurry." She said and then turned to me. "Prepare Bella…tell her…he is coming." She sighed and slipped out the front door with Emmett hot on her heels.
My head was swelling with all this new information. Who was coming…who was this...he? Was there someone Bella hadn't told me about, someone besides Paul?
Dad arrived shortly after Em and Rose had left. While he consulted Bella, Mom took me in her arms.
"What happened, honey?" she asked scared. I shrugged and kept my eyes on my life that had yet to open her eyes.
Carlisle sighed and shook his head.
"WHAT?? Is she okay?" I shouted, my voice sounded wrong.
"I think…she's in shock. Had she got some unexpected news…or something?" he asked.
Alice explained what had happened in the kitchen and Carlisle sighed again. "She'll come around on her own."
After what felt like days, Bella opened her eyes and they settled on me.
"Edward…" she croaked out.
"I'm right here. How do you feel?" I asked, squeezing her hand. "You scared me." I admitted.
"I'm sorry." She whispered blushing.
"Why don't you help her up?" Esme asked me. I helped Bella in a sitting position.
"Oh, child, I'm so sorry for being so rough to you! I never thought Edward will do such thing, but I guess you do anything for love. And I see how much he loves you." Esme whispered to Bella who looked in tears. They hugged and whispered to each other, I just stayed on the other side of Bella, happy that Mom had accepted Bella.
"Oh, I know! I won't let him-" Bella said louder and turned to me just when the front door opened and voices flooded inside. I had forgotten to prepare her.
There was a man in army uniform, a little girl was holding his hand and Emmett looked…well he didn't look anything; his face was composed and he wasn't showing any emotion. Rose was grinning and she simply came next to the army guy, hugging him and turned to us.
"He's Jared. My…friend. And this is Kim, his little girl." Rose explained. Bella was stiff next to me, her eyes trained on Jared, she wasn't even breathing.
"Hello everyone!" he said to us. Bella started hyperventilating; I squeezed her hand, trying to calm her.
"Izzy." That word sent Bella in his arms, only a word. A word she despised in high school. I saw Esme scowling; amazing, fucking amazing! Not now, after Mom was warming up to the idea of Bella and me together!
I could see Jared change a look with Rose to which she answered, "A lot." Jared sighed and squeezed my fiancée.
I got up and side-stepped Carlisle who wanted to stop me, then stopped next to them, "Excuse me, you have something that's mine." I announced him. When I reached to get Bella from him, she clung to him further, choking on her tears. To say I was hurt it is an understanding. I felt…embarrassed. Who was this guy? Why had he such an effect on my Bella?
"Why don't we sit? There are things we should talk about." Rose said and gestured to the couch.
Bella turned around, her eyes widened at something and she rushed out of the room.
"What's wrong?" Jared asked scared.
"Edward…you know the way to the bathroom. Make sure you keep the door closed, it's the smell of the food, I'm sure." Rose muttered and pushed me out of the room. I wanted to stay there and know who this person was! But Bella was more important so I made my way to the bathroom.
Bella was sitting on the floor, leaning on the tub hugging her knees and rocking. Her head snapped up when she heard the door.
"I thought you were sick." I whispered and crouched in front of her.
"I was." She answered.
"Bella? Who is that guy?" I should learn to tune my jealousy, I'm sure he's harmless.
"Jared." She whispered with a ghost of a smile on her lips.
She had stopped rocking and was just looking in my eyes with her doe ones. I touched her cheek and she leaned into it, "Sweetheart…" I whispered at a loss of what to say.
"Not now." She told me and reached behind my head bring me closer and kissing me. The kiss was hungry and had an edge in it, an edge I didn't like. I tried to pull away but she kept my head in her hands deepening the kiss. I moaned against my own volition when her tongue touched mine and my finger got under her shirt, feeling her soft skin.
Someone pounded on the door, "What are you doing in my bathroom?!" Emmett yelled from the other side of the door.
Bella groaned and pecked my lips then got up and opened the door to reveal an annoyed Emmett.
"Really, man? With all of us in the house? Esme will be proud of you!" he shouted and turned on his heels. Bella rolled her eyes, took my hand and followed him to the living room. Something was definitely wrong. Bella never acted like this! She sauntered back in the living room, pushing me on the couch and sitting in my lap. All this nonchalant air crept me up.
"Now that we're all here, we should explain this visit." Rose started and Bella squirmed in my lap.
"Colonel Jared Smith. US Army. Now father and-" he stopped and shook his head as if to send away bad memories. "Do they know?" he asked looking at Bella.
"Just Rose-"
"Of course she knows!" Jared exclaimed. "Anyone else?"
"Edward." Bella whispered and almost choked me with her death grip on my neck. "Colonel, really?" she continued amazed.
"Yes. I'll stop there. Kim needs my undivided attention." He said and glanced at me, scrutinizing me. I felt as if I was X-rayed.
"Shall I explain or…" Jared trailed off.
"I can't." Bella whispered and snuggled further in my arms.
Jared with a bit of Rose's help explained that year in college when Bella had met Paul and what happened after that.
"Is Kim yours?" Bella whispered in the eerie silence that had fallen around the room.
"I adopted her. Three years ago, there was a fire and everyone died. I told them to look again in that block, they said it's done and no one is alive. I heard her crying and left in search for the crying sound, everyone screamed after me it's unstable and that the building might fall. I found a two year old girl with a teddy bear in her arms, crying. I loved her instantly so I took her under my wing, took care of her and ended up adopting her." He explained.
"I'm pregnant." Bella said at the same time as Esme and Alice 'awwed' at the man. He seemed to hear Bella because he looked at her strangely. Jared glanced at me and what I saw in his eyes scared the shit out of me. He seemed sorrowful somehow.
"Yours?" he asked me. I nodded numbly. "Can we have a word?"
Carlisle furrowed his brows at this and looked between us, "Could I come, too? I am a doctor."
Jared nodded and left the room with Carlisle after him.
"I'll be right back. I love you." I kissed Bella's forehead and got up.
"Okay. Love you." She whispered and sat back on the sofa.
"Edward, right?" Jared asked extending his hand.
"Yes." I shook it and sat in front of him. We were in the kitchen at the table. "My father, Carlisle." I gestured to Dad.
"Yes. We met while you were in the bathroom." Jared smiled lightly. "Listen, there's something you must know. Take care of Bella. When she…last time…that baby, there were some complications…" My heart literally stopped.
"Edward! Son, it's okay. Let's hear him out. Breathe." Carlisle instructed, I couldn't find my lungs. What was wrong? What had happened to Bella?
"PID." Jared said quietly. I looked at him confused, but Carlisle gasped and glanced to the living room.
"But she's pregnant!" he said amazed.
"It's amazing, a miracle, yes. That's why you should know this and…take extra care of her. I'm sure she'll scream and kick as every woman that she's not an invalid, but… she needs bed rest and very close attention." Jared continued.
"Of course. Thank you for telling me. I can't believe I didn't see it." Carlisle muttered.
"Will one of you tell me what is wrong with Bella?" I exclaimed angrily.
"Son, PID or pelvic inflammatory disease is a generic term for inflammation of the female uterus, fallopian tubes, and/or ovaries as it progresses to scar formation with adhesions to nearby tissues and organs. If there are symptoms then fever, cervical motion tenderness, lower abdominal pain, painful intercourse, or irregular menstrual bleeding may be noted. It is important to note that PID can occur and cause serious harm without causing any noticeable symptoms…" he kept explaining how it is treated, but words like 'inflammation', 'uterus', 'ovaries', 'cervical motion tenderness' 'lower abdominal pain' kept floating in my head. That's when I remembered that she told me a few times that her lower abdomen hurt a little, we blamed it on the menstruation.
"Shit!" I mumbled.
"Has she had any of those symptoms?" Dad asked scared. I nodded carefully.
"The pain you talked about…and from what remember and from what she told me, just recently her menstruation started being regular." I whispered.
"How recent? It's very important." I blushed and mumbled under my breath "Since I came back."
"Again, Edward. Louder." Carlisle said and started pacing.
"Since I came back in her life! Happy?" I shouted.
"Must be the pill." Jared said.
"Nope. She never took it." I said.
"Figures or she wouldn't be pregnant." He laughed making me groan.
"I'll see what I can do. In the meanwhile, Edward, take care of her. Can she work from home? When she gets after the fourth month we'd be relaxed until then…" Carlisle told me.
"She can. She will." I said. "Thank you for telling us this." I turned to Jared who nodded.
"My pleasure. I never told her this; I never wanted to scare her. She was already down from everything." He sighed.
We had dinner, after which Carlisle explained to Bella what we have talked in the kitchen.
"I will be careful, thanks for telling me." Bella whispered to him and then came straight to my arms where she fell sobbing.
"Shh, it will be ok." I soothed her, rubbing her back slowly.
Before I realized it, New Year was here and Bella was begging me to spend it at the new hose.
"Have you heard Carlisle? I don't want to take risks! We'll have the rest of our lives to spend it there! Come on, love, your safety is more important." I kept saying and she kept insisting to go.
I was currently staying in her living room watching TV when I felt her arms around my neck.
"I'm sorry. I don't want to fight, not now. Not ever." Bella whispered in my ear and hugged me closer.
"Come here." I patted the couch next to me, but Bella snuggled on my lap. "We won't fight, I promise." I murmured and hugged her closer.
We stayed like that until close to midnight when she got up and dragged me to her bedroom.
"I just want to be with you in here when we ring in the next year." She whispered blushing and started kissing me. I kissed back carefully not sure what she wanted to do.
When Bella started to fumble with my pajama bottoms I realized how she wanted to ring in the next year and I couldn't be happier. I helped her undress me and I helped her out of my old jersey.
We got on the bed still kissing and touching, she was moaning and trashing under me.
Someone on the TV started the countdown, "TEN, NINE, EIGHT, SEVEN, SIX…"
"I love you, Bella." I whispered in her mouth.
"I love you, too. So much, Edward." She whispered back and alienating us.
"THREE, TWO, ONE!" I plunged in her and kissed her hungrily; Bella moaned and buckled her hips in mine.
"Mmm Happy New Year!" she moaned and arched her back. I put my hand on her waist and pressed my mouth to her neck.
"Happy New Year, indeed." I chuckled and kept our dance. Soon, I couldn't move so gently anymore and I braced my hands on the headboard and pushed in her hard and fast.
"Edwardddd…the window!" Bella groaned and I felt her clamping on my cock. Damn window! I was so close I couldn't give a shit about the window. Bella arched her back again and clamped hard on me sending me over the edge after one my push. I tumbled on the bed trying to regain my breathing. She stroked my hair and kissed my face sweetly.
"That was the best night between years." She giggled and put her head on my shoulder.
I pulled the blanket over us and put a hand on her stomach, "You make immensely happy." I said before I drifted off to sleep.
Next three months passed in blur, most of the time Bella complaining about being treated as an invalid; she was staying home and working from there, when she didn't have a patient she was reading or writing on her books. I kept buying stuff for the house, I got Bella with me when I bought the color for the walls, but otherwise she was staying home. I believed her when she said she's sick of staying in the house, but I couldn't do anything about it. The baby was developing very well and the doctor reassured us it's perfect. Bella had thrown a fit when I said I wanted to know what it was, so we had to wait another five months to know.
Carlisle had promised her that after her April appointment she could go back to her life, but much more careful that she was before. Needless to say, Bella was so cheerful today that I thought she's burst of happiness.
She had kissed me long and slow when I left this morning promising to get back around twelve so I could get her to the appointment.
I was looking through a case when a knock on the door startled me. "Come in!"
"Oh that's why I'm here, too." Jasper grinned and closed the door. "What are you doing about this one?"
I shrugged and told him a few things I had jolted down.
"WATCH OUT! Pregnant woman ahead!" Emmett yelled down the hall.
"Could he be any more immature?" I muttered to Jasper.
"I wonder what Rose is doing here…" he laughed and rolled his eyes. She was due soon, at the end of this month.
The door to my office banged to the wall. One day, soon, he will shatter my glass.
Bella was standing in the doorway blushing hard and looking as if she wished she hadn't come. I rushed to her side, "What's wrong, love? Why are you here?"
"I came here so you won't come and get me." She whispered and took a non-existent lint off my jacket.
"Emmett! Why must you act like this?" I groaned and helped Bella on my chair.
"What have I done? I told Jim to watch out, he had a lot of stuff in his hands and couldn't see where he was walking." Emmett defended himself.
"Get out of here." I whispered and pushed him out.
"I'll go, too. Oh, Mom called earlier…I don't know what's wrong but you should call and talk with her. She sounded distraught." Jasper said and waved to us then left.
"I'm calling Esme and then we'll go, okay?" I said and Bella nodded, turning toward the window.
"Edward!" I didn't know how to place her voice.
"Esme…what's wrong?" I asked watching Bella as she turned with the chair and grinned like a kid.
"Well…there is no delicate way to put it. You tell me and I pass the information, I won't make you talk with her." What is she talking about?
"Wait…you're not making any sense. Talk with who?" I asked and leaned on my desk, tracing a finger on Bella's cheek. She had gained some weight and she looked rounder, healthier.
"…have you heard me? Are you still there?" Ohh, Esme.
"Sorry…You were saying?" I grinned and Bella took my hand and kissed it.
"I said that a pipe in the kitchen broke and Tanya doesn't know who to call. She told me there was a carpenter you always called…" Esme's voice carried on. Not that blasted pipe again! I've told Tyler to change it!
"Isn't it on the fridge?" My voice sounded tight and it caught Bella's attention.
"I don't know, Edward. I'm not there." Esme told me.
"Oh, then if you want to be the intermediary, tell Tanya to look on the fridge. That's where I put it…I think I have it here somewhere, as well…My office is a bit of a mess right now." I said nonchalantly, all the time gripping Bella's hand in mine.
I felt Bella freeze and I squeezed her fingers looking at her trying to tell her this will be over soon.
"Okay. Will do. Keep your phone close." Esme sighed and hung up.
"Let's go. I want to see our child again." I whispered to Bella, raising her and putting my hands on her stomach.
"What's going on?" she whispered.
"The pipe in the kitchen broke again. It never was good." I told her and guided her out of my office.
"And why did she call Esme?" huffed Bella.
"I'm sure she doesn't know who to call. I always took care of that or similar things." I sighed and opened the car's door. Bella had gotten used to travel in the car, she still felt turned on by it, but I always took care of that. It was amazing to know that she was turned on by the car.
We got to the hospital and the doctor showed us the baby, I concentrated to see if I could realize what it was without asking. But of course it was too small for that and the position wasn't helping either.
"See you in June, then." Dr. Fletcher told us, shaking my hand.
"Of course. I hope I'll convince her to want to know the sex." I sighed and glanced at Bella who shook her head no.
"Where to now?" I asked when we got in the car.
"I want Chinese and to see the house. Let's spend the night there. Please." I couldn't resist her begging so I gave in.
Esme hadn't called again and I was beyond happy, I didn't need that now. We got the food and we were on the mattress in front of the fireplace in house.
"I've talked with Jared and he'll be happy to move in my place when we move in here." Bella told me between bites of something gross.
"That's nice of you. How can you eat that?" I asked eyeing dubiously whatever she was eating.
"Mmmm it's-"
"Don't tell me! You're worse that Rose with your eating habits!" I groaned and focused on my sushi.
Something that looked like a pea landed in my box of food, I glanced at Bella who looked innocently at me.
"Oh that's what you want! Food fight?" I teased and threw the rice in my sticks at her which it landed on her hair. I laughed at her new decorations.
Bella took the piece of hair and inspected it after which she threw some more food at me, we ended up covered in raw fish and God knows what she was eating…something gooey.
"Why don't we have a shower?" I asked taking bits of rice from my hair.
"I'd rather lick it off." Bella purred and crawled to me, sucking on some food on my cheek.
"I have towels. Come on." I picked her up and walked to the bathroom. I washed her carefully rinsing all the food from her hair as she did the same for me, then we kissed and when I realized we won't stop there I flicked the water close, scooped Bella up, wrapped her in the towel and went to the mattress.
"I've always wanted this. You, a fireplace and a plush rug…well, this mattress will do for now." She giggled and rolled us over so she was on top.
Bella lowered on my shaft and moved slowly up and down. I couldn't help but admire how her stomach had rounded, how her hips had got bigger, her breasts were swelling, she was glorious.
I ran my hands over her body, memorizing her forms; her hair fell on my face when she leaned to kiss me. I turned us over and raised her leg, moving faster. Emmett had been right; I should enjoy this as long as it lasted. Soon, I won't be able to be on top and later on, after the baby was born…who knows when we'll do this again?
Bella shuddered and fell apart in my arms, I followed soon enough. I tugged two big, fluffy blankets over us and snuggled with her, she fell asleep on my chest, her breathing lulling me to sleep.
I heard my phone vibrating somewhere but I was too tired and lazy to get up and see what was wrong.
Sorry for jumping over those months but I had to get here. Now the fun of painting and furnishing the house will begin. Edward covered in many colors, in a wife-beater and low cut jeans...:D Sounds good?
Review! I'm sorry for bringing Tanya back, she's harmless, I promise. My mood made me do this...sorry I'm takin git out on you guys.
