Chapter 19.

Edwards POV

Friday

Nessie had a pretty restless night, though none of us slept very well, waking often to check the other two people were still next to us, then falling back to sleep. So not surprisingly we were all still tired and had breakfast in bed, and then stayed there most of the morning. I fetched the TV from my room and that was on, but no one was really watching it. I thought back over what had happened over the last week, Bella coming into my life was definitely the best thing that could ever have happened to me, I had no idea how I was going to cope raising a kid but now, now I couldn't think of anything I wanted more than these two incredible girls in my life.

Both my girls had been through so much, and I wanted to give them both a new life. Yesterday was such a shitty day for all of us, Rose was a psychotic bitch and had been ruling my life much more than I had ever realised, thinking about it, she had used my nervousness with woman against me, I could see that now, Bella had done so much to raise my confidence so far that it was obvious to me now. I had been so mad when I saw Jake Black in the lot helping Rose, and when he made a grab for my Bella, I wanted to kill him. All my anger at everyone, at Rose for her taking Ness, and the things she'd done, to Masen and Kate for dying and leaving Nessie alone, but most of all Charlie, and Jake for what they had done to my Bella. I had put all my anger into it when I hit Jake, even after he was on the floor, my knuckles were covered in his blood when I was pulled off him by the store security, and they kept him restrained so I could go after Rose. And then my girl had broken Rose's nose, smashing it into her skull, my girl was fucking awesome. But fuck me when Nessie had cried from Rose's arms, and called Bella momma, I felt my heart clench at the memory, if I hadn't been so frantic at the time I probably would have cried. I knew now that neither our Pumpkin or myself would be able to cope if Bella leaves on Sunday.

"You can't leave on Sunday." I said, Bella was as always sat between my legs with her back resting against my chest, with my arms around her and my chin resting on her shoulder, just the way I liked to hold her.

"I know." she said. "I wish I knew what to do." she admitted and I kissed her neck.

"Me too, but I know I can't live without you Bella. I really do love you and I know you feel the same, I want us to be together as a family, the way we have been this week." I told her, she twisted around to look at me, and I kissed her lips. "I love you." I said.

"I love you too." she replied with a worried frown on her face.

"And I yuve you too." our Pumpkin said, standing up and hugging both our necks.

"We love you too Pumpkin." I said rubbing her back.

We got up to help mom make lunch and not much later Emmett and Angela finally arrived back, they were both buzzed, but Emmett was like a different person, a day away from Rose and he was himself again. Angela couldn't stop raving about how good he was and had hired him as her own photographer, which meant he would need to move to Seattle.

"I happen to know of an apartment not far from there that still has six months on the lease if your interested." Bella said, and we all turned to her, what was she thinking?

"Really?" Emmett asked excitedly.

"But of course that will make me homeless." she said scratching her chin and looking confused.

"I'm sure Eddie has a spare room he wouldn't mind sharing with you." Emmett said, everyone turned to me except for Bella, I wrapped my arms around her shoulders.

"Bella, I will be working at the hospital and trying to raise my niece like a daughter in Seattle, I'd very much like to have you by my side... always." I said.

"So you're asking me to..?" she asked.

"I'm asking you to move into my apartment... as my girlfriend." I said, I couldn't help but smirk when I said 'girlfriend.' "You said the only reason you needed the job with Angela was to pay rent, this way you won't need it, and you can write from... home, and if you want to, take care of Ness." I said, turning her around and looking at her hopefully. I looked down when I felt something tug on my jeans, our Pumpkin was standing by my leg, I released Bella so that I could pick her up, so now Bella had the two of us gazing at her with pleading eyes.

"But Angela?" she said.

"Will have Emmett, to replace you, which is something that we can't do, we just need you, Bella." I said.

"I yuv you." Pumpkin added with her heart melting pout.

"I love you."I added.

Tears rolled down her face. "Okay." she almost whimpered.

"Yayey." Pumpkin squealed, and I pulled Bella into a three way hug with us.

Rehearsal dinner

Bella was dressed in the midnight blue floor length silk dress that I had bought for her, she was a vision, the backless dress was very tempting, seeing her flawless pale skin, I couldn't keep my hands off her, she was without doubt the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, and she had agreed to move in with me, and I was on top of the world.

The moment we arrived at the rehearsal dinner I saw Lauren heading our way, but with Bella at my side I felt confident now, and before Lauren was too near to me I turned Bella and I so that Lauren could see my hand half missing where I had my fingers slipped inside Bella's dress caressing her hip. It wasn't enough to stop her though, I could see her scowl but she was still coming closer, so I lifted Bella's chin and lent down to kiss her. Bella grinned up at me when we pulled away.

"Edwooord." Lauren said, grating on my nerves instantly.

"What do you want?" I said not hiding my annoyance at her.

She stopped dead a few feet away and took a second to get herself together, shocked at my tone. "I just found out they have changed the seating, I have to be on the main table with the bride, so will you make sure you save a dance for me later please." she said.

"Oh hell no, Lauren, I have no intention of dancing with anyone but my Bella." I said pulling Bella against my side.

"I'm sure Bella isn't afraid of a little competition." Lauren said nastily grimacing at her.

"Bella is my girlfriend and we live together, she has no competition." I informed Lauren.

"You only live together because she is staying with you this week." she had the nerve to argue. I smiled I couldn't help myself.

"Well that's where you're wrong... Bella is moving in with me in my apartment in Seattle." I informed her, I smiled down at Bella and her smile in return was so beautiful I lent down to kiss her chastely.

"No, that's not far, why would you never sleep with me again? We were good together." she asked.

"Actually Lauren I have never slept with you, that was Masen, his standers were always a lot lower than mine." I informed her turning away from her and walking into the dining room.

I was relieved that there would be no Charlie, Jake or Rose here tonight, maybe we could have a quiet evening together, I picked Nessie up and we made our way through the crowd to find our table, fortunately we had Emmett, Angela, Alice and Jasper at our table. Unfortunately we also had Ty and Eric, who were staring at my woman like she was a trailer for Halo 4.

I pulled Bella's chair out for her, then sat Nessie in her seat, Bella had brought a cushion to help raise her a little, she was happy to be more on a level instead of below everyone. Nessie was also relieved to have Alice, Jasper and Emmett here.

"So Bella, its great to have you back in town, how much longer are you staying, we'd love to catch up with you... you know, alone." Tylor said. I felt my entire body tense up, but Bella put her hand on my thigh and stroked my leg.

"Actually I've got to get back to Seattle on Sunday." she said.

"Damn, what's in Seattle that's so important?" Eric asked.

"I have to pack, I'm moving into a new apartment." she said squeezing my thigh, if she moves her hand much higher she's going to make me hard.

"Bigger place?" Ty asked.

"My place." I interrupted, they both stared at me.

"What? you're moving in together?" Eric asked, his disappointment made me feel good.

"Yeah, what can I say, I just can't keep my hands off him." Bella said and smirked as her hand slid further up my leg and her fingers slid over my cock, urgh, I lent over and sucked on her earlobe.

"Much more of that and I'll cum in my boxers." I whispered, making her giggle, she blatantly stroked over my now hard cock, and it felt like it had been so long since I was inside her that I was aching to have her again. But now was not the time to have these thoughts so reluctantly I took her hand in mine and held in on my thigh.

"You two must have been together for a while then?" Ty asked.

"Long enough to know that she's the women I want to share my life with." I said lifting her hand up and kissing it.

"I think we should move to Seattle too." Alice announced.

"Well why didn't you say so earlier when I was talking to dad?" Jasper said.

"I hadn't realised how much I was going to miss Bella and Nessie then." Alice said sticking her tongue out at him.

"Why what were you talking to dad about?" I asked Jaz.

"There are a couple of positions that have come up at your hospital, we were thinking of applying for them." He said, my eyes opened wide in shock,

"Mom and Dad would be prepared to move to Seattle, I thought they were happy to stay in Forks." I said, Jaz I could understand wanting to move to Seattle, what with Alice having just graduated, they had more chance of finding work for them both in Seattle.

"After this week, I think they have decided like the rest of us... its time to get the hell out of dodge." he replied. All my family together in Seattle would be brilliant.

A/N Hope it wasn't too bad a read. :*
