Chapter Twenty-Four

Edward Cullen

When I woke up in the morning, I immediately realized Bella wasn't in bed with me. Groggy, I went wandering downstairs. I felt shitty and hung over and halfway down the stairs, the sounds of Audrey wailing amplified my headache. I followed the sound to the living room where Bella was sitting cross legged on the couch, wearing just one of my t-shirts and panties. She looked hot.

"Hey," I said gently, wincing a bit at Audrey's cries. Bella looked up, startled and I noticed tears streaming down her puffy face, "B? What's wrong? Is Audrey alright?"

"I...I...take her please?" Bella got out between sobs and I immediately took her, holding her on my shoulder. I was honestly not sure which of my two girls I should comfort first.

"Bella... baby, you have to tell me what's wrong. You're scaring the fuck out of me," I told her as I paced around the room with our daughter.

"We... last night..." Bella drew her knees to her chest and cried against then. Shit, did she regret making love last night? Was she sore, maybe I was too rough?

"We didn't use protection," she finally whispered.

"That's what you're so worried about? B, it was one time. We'll use protection from now on," I tried to sooth her.

"What if I got pregnant?"

"Come on, what are the chances?"

Bella looked pointedly on the now calming baby on my shoulder.

"I don't think the only two times we've fucked that you weren't pregnant, that you'd end up pregnant." I put Audrey in her swing and sat next to B, watching our girl yawn and stretch. I pulled my fiancée onto my lap and started kissing the back of her neck.

"That's true… I mean, what are the odds? I bet we'd be the only people able to say that," Bella said sniffling and wiping her watery eyes.

"It'd be pretty funny… they'd be so close in age but that'd be okay… get though all this baby stuff early," I said, officially putting it on the tablet that I was fine with having another baby.

"Edward… you're sure?"

"Let's just play it by ear, baby. Just try to make it a boy," I grin against the back of her neck which I've consistently been kissing and nipping between words.

"Mmm, you have control over that," she giggles and I feel better knowing my words have made her feel better.

I also feel better that I've made a decision that I think is the right one. That we talked it out some more last night, that we're talking know. We're both all in.

"How do you feel?"

"That feels nice," Bella moaned softly as I caught her ear lobe in my mouth and tugged gently. My hand slid up her silky thigh and she spread her legs, allowing me to carefully cup her sex, "No, baby. I mean how do you feel, right here?"

She ground against my hand and reached her own back to grip my hair, "Ungh... good. I was so scared sex would be different but I want you... where are the condoms"

"I don't think I own a single condom," I admitted to her. Bella turned in my lap so she was straddling me, her eyes still teary, "You hate condoms," she whispered sadly. I shrugged, not denying it – what man didn't? Even more – what man who'd gone ten months without using them wanted to go back? Why were we talking about the gross things, anyway? Whatever happens, happens. That's my new mantra.

"But, B… I'm confused. I thought we two minutes ago, we agreed that whatever happens, happens," I rubbed what I hope were soothing circles on her back and she pressed herself closer against me.

"But then this morning, I brought Audrey down here and she didn't want to eat and she was so good until we went out and your parents bottle-fed her and she cried for like, two hours before she finally ate then she cried until you came down, Edward," Bella rubbed her face against my shoulder. Bella had but so even with her hormones but this little back and forth caught me off guard.

"Oh, baby. You just had rough morning. Why didn't you wake me up?" I slid my hands up the back of her shirt and resumed rubbing and trying to relax her.

"I should be able to get Audrey to calm down, I'm her mama! I feed her… I carried her for nine months… I wanted her for so long," Bella whined softly.

"There are going to be times where she just cries… she's only a month old. She doesn't know, maybe her stomach hurt or maybe she was just overtired… like I think you are right now," I told her softly.

We sat silently still for a few minutes and I thought Bella might have even drifted off to sleep until I felt her hips shift against mine. I thought it was an accident and didn't say anything until she did it again, rubbing herself over me. I groaned softly. I heard a soft giggle and knew she was up to no good. Mood swing.

"Bella… we don't have to…"

"Shhh… I want to. God, I want to," Bella whispered in my ear, pulling back to kiss me hard on the lips.

"I could pull out…"

"No, like you said… whatever happens, happens?" I could feel her hotness between my boxers and her panties, definitely a good sign.

"Mmm, exactly," I murmured, still kissing her. I pulled up the hem of her shirt and she got my drift right away, lifting her arms. I grinned and pulled it off, tossing it across the room.

"Very nice, B," I murmured. I still wasn't sure if I could touch them or if that would be weird. But I definitely wanted to fondle them. Bella giggled softly and took my hand, bringing it up to cup her tit.

"Just… your hands and be gentle with them," Bella whispered, her last word turning into a whimper as I gently massaged her.

"I just miss them," I grinned at her and did the same with her other breast. Bella was moaning and dragging her fingers through my hair as her ground her hips against mine, being a little more aggressive than I was used to but I liked it.

I knew she had said only hands but I leaned down and kissed each of her erect nipples. I pulled away before I could get brushed away and kissed my way up her breast, up her neck and to her jaw line. I nipped and sucked and definitely left marks but I wanted a day in so it was cool.

"Edward, you feel so good," Bella whined, practically dry humping me. I knew every time my cock came in contact with her clit because she made a litte yelping noise.

"What do you want, baby? Want me to make you get off like this? Go down on you?"

"Nooo, Edward… please, you know what I want," she cried out as I thrust up at the same time as she trust down.

"You have to say it, baby. Tell me what you want, Isabella," I smirked at her.

"Oh… fuck me, Edward!" Bella practically screamed. That was exactly what I wanted. In no time flat, I had supported her back and adjusted her so she was lying on the couch, pushed down my boxers and her panties and had the head of my cock rubbing against her clit.

"Oh, I asked, please… oh my God, please!" Bella cried out but I wanted her to cum first.

"I wanted to do something for you first, for being so nice," I smirked at her as I kept rubbing my cock against her clit. I slipped down B's hot, wet slit, rubbing my cock up and down a few times before I lined it with her entrance. She threw her head back, prepared.

"Right there! Oh… no!" Bella cried out as I moved my cock away. The smirk stayed on my face but I knew I couldn't last much longer.

"I want to hear more, Bella… tell me step by step, what you want me to do," I whispered in her ear.

B made a loud, frustrated noise, "I want you to put your cock in me."

"Not specific enough… would you like me to put your cock here?" I put my fingers against her lips. She shook her head. I moved my hand down to her pussy but slid past her front entrance to the back, rubbing the hole gently, "No… Edward. Pleeease!"

"Tell me where, baby girl. And me a good little English teacher, use a full sentence."

And I almost came when she said, looking up at me with her wide, innocent eyes, and said in a pleading voice, "Edward, will you please put your huge, colossal, amazing, gorgeous cock in my wet, hot, ready pussy that belongs to you and only you."

"That's just what I was looking for, little girl… remember that for next time," I smirked at her as I reached my cock down and guided it into her. "Fuck, fuck, fuck," I did a little whimpering myself. Her tightness was amazing and I was going to last for about twenty seconds.

"Owww," Bella whined and I looked up at her, alarmed and started to pull out. When she realized what I was doing, she practically screamed not to.

"I just have to get used to you again. Please, please… do me, Edward," Bella was into the begging today and it didn't help with my I'm-going-to-cum-in-two-seconds-because-my-financee-is-the-tightest-thing-I've-ever-been-in issue.

"I just… oh, fuck… Bella," I moaned as I pushed back in slowly. She relaxed slowly with each trust and it wasn't long before she was relaxed enough that she was crying out my name, begging for harder as she came, clenching her already too-tight pussy around me.

"Are you sure you can handle that?" I asked her, holding her hips. She nodded, breathless and still spasming from her orgasm. B whimpered and nodded. I adjusted her long legs over my shoulders and started thrusting harder but definitely not my hardest. A few seconds later, we were both calling for each other as we fell over the edge together this time.

Bella's legs immediately slid down and wrapped around my waist and I sat up so she was straddling me. I held her against my and felt wetness around my chest and figured it was sweat but there was more than that.

I pulled away and looked between us, noticing her tits were leaking. I made a face.

"Oh my God, I did… oh my God, I'm so sorry!" Bella's face was bright red and she hid it against my chest, putting her arm across her breasts.

"It's okay, baby. Stuff like this has happened before to other people, I bet."

She pulled her tanned, heart shaped face away and kissed me. Once, twice, three times.

"Edward, you're so sweet and understanding," she whispered in my ear, before pulling the lobe between her teeth and pulling. I grunted softly, glancing at our sleeping baby in her swing.

"Rosalie and Alice called earlier.... they want to go dress shopping and shopping for stuff for the wedding," she nuzzled my neck.

"That's great, baby. When were you thinking, this weekend?"

My hands slid over her ass and slapped gently. She squealed softly and grabbed behind her for my hands. I left her catch them and she brought my grasped wrists in front of her and sweetly started kissing on my hands, finally landing five kisses on my left ring finger

"Today," Bella said then played with her engagement ring.

"Today what, baby?"

"Shopping… Emmett and Jasper have off and agreed to come help watch the baby. Plus, they're watching their kids Is that alright, Edward?" Bella slid off my lap and found her panties and shirt and tossed me my boxers. She got 'dressed' quickly and I nodded, "Sure."

I fixed my pulled on my underwear and frowned when then doorbell rang loudly, waking Audrey from deep slumber with a single cry. Bella and I had just been screaming and yelling but the one doorbell ring wakes her up? Good to know. Bella rushed over to the baby, gesturing to get the door.

I grumbled a little about being almost naked before going over and swinging opening the heavy wooden door.

"Woo-hoo, sexy Eddie Cullen!" Emmett catcalled as the brigade entered the house and there are suddenly kids of all shapes and sizes screaming and playing and I can hear my Audrey crying from the directions of the stairs, where Bella must be headed. I rolled my eyes because I'm kind of annoyed to have to deal with this and gesture for our friends to follow me to the living room. I didn't really get the part where all the kids would be staying here until it was too late.

In alphabetical order we have:

Alice: hugely pregnant. Her hair was longer than I'd ever seen in and pulled into the two tiniest pigtails in existence. She had no make up on and looked prettier than normal, in some weird way. She has the glowing pregnant look as Bella did but not as bright and happy. I'd never seen her not fashionable and this was no different. She had on a cream and pink dress strapless, flowing dress and pink sandals.

Charlotte: Her hair was getting longer too but today one of them had brushed it into two curly pig tails. She had on a romper in a weird shade of brown and ruffles along the edges of the top and the bottoms of the legs. The brown was short or a weird shade but her hair was even blonder from playing in the sun and she was tanner so the color worked on her. Her sandals were T-strapped and white and surprisingly simple.

Emmett: His hair was curly, which was natural for him. Once, he'd gone to a stylist and she'd insisted that he constantly straighten it but with two kids, I think it's easier to let it go normal and I knew Rose was a big fan of the girls. He was also apparently starting to grow a beard. I made a mental note to ask him later. He was dressed like the Emmett I remembered. He was dressed in khaki shorts and a short sleeved white polo and flip flops. Different from his normal suits.

Henry: Was identical to both his father and little brother in face. Without the beard of course. His dark hair was all over the place, getting slightly longer, ("He refuses to have it cut," Rose explained to me when I ran my hand though it.) and he was dressed in jeans shirt, a Cub's t-shirt and hat. On his feet, he had on Blue Converse High Tops.

Jasper: With a phone attached to his ear, you could hear him trying to calm down an upset parent. Other than that, he looked ready to relax. Dark red Nike basketball shorts and a white t-shirt and shoes that kinda matched the shorts and his hair wasn't even close to how gelled it normally was. He'd probably just woken up.

Jax: He was dressed exactly the same as his big brother and immediately was crawling around, not wanting to be told to sit still. His hair was the only thing really different than Jax, styled in a Mohawk and instead of Converse he had a pair of blue sandals on his feet.

Rosalie: Her long blonde hair was in a sloppy bun on the top of her head and she was wearing a similar outfit to Alice. She wore a deep purple and lavender sheer, strapless dress with a solid layer of lavender underneath and light lavender sandals. I wondered if those strapless dresses were easier to change out of and that's why they'd picked them.

As we made our way into the living room, Rosalie made a face as they entered the room and shared the look with Alice. Jasper started laughing and Emmett joined in. I scowled, wondering what the joke is and why the fuck I'm not in on it.

"What the hell?"

"Dude," Emmett stopped to laugh some more, "it smells like sex in here. What happened to waiting for the wedding?"

Rose and Alice share a smirk and I scowl at them.

"I know about you two giving Bella advice into tricking me into getting her pregnant again. Too bad for you, Emmett ruined that last night and told me all about how you can get knocked up when pregnant and that Rose did twice," I punctuated this fact by holding up two fingers.

The two of them look embarrassed which they should.

"Rosie, babe, that wasn't cool to help," Emmett said and Rose pouts and juts out her stomach, "But I just want them to be happy like we are!"

I rolled my eyes and started picking up the room, making sure there were no choking hazards for the kids cause I don't want to deal with that today then I got out the two toy box that Bella kept stocked with tons of stuff for when they come over.

I really should have realized that with all the stuff Bella did and still does for her friends' kids that one wouldn't be enough for her. One was like a drop in the bucket. Could I marry someone who wanted something so completely different? I was in love with her – no doubt about it and I wasn't sure if I could even breath without her anymore – but were our wants to different?

Not to mention the law firm, which was already in motion, office space and a decorator and all. Cullen and Scott would be coming soon and I was hoping we'd had an investor by the name of Swan. It wasn't that I wanted her money – I just wanted her to be a part of it, it own a share of it.

I decided to run the idea by the guys while we watched the kids – I mean, Jasper was opening a pediatric practice, right? He should have some helpful advice.

I got everyone drinks and we all sat around, making small talk until Bella finally came down with Audrey on her shoulder. They were both obviously freshly bathed and I was sure Bella probably took A in with her. We'd had a few family showers cause B thought it was a cute bonding thing but I just thought it was weird.

"Bella!" Alice and Rose called out in unison then they all three laughed, hugging as best as they could with Audrey in the middle. Bella came and sat on my lap and said Audrey on her lap. I noticed that Bella was also wearing a strapless, flowing dress but it was white and that her hair was twisted in some sort of intricate bun. Audrey was dressed in the same romper as Audrey but in a raspberry color.

"We have to leave soon," Rose said, looking at her watch, "Our appointment's in about thirty minutes and we'll need this time to get there!"

"Appointment?" I whispered in Bella's ears and her cheeks flamed. So it goes from being spontaneous dress shopping to them having appointments? Bella kissed me and handed Audrey to me. I got up and followed the girls out and helped usher them out.

When I put Audrey in the bouncy seat, I groaned as I stood. Jax was laying on a play-mat and Charlotte and Henry were watching Aladian. I dramatically threw myself back onto the part of the couch Jasper ad Emmett weren't on, gaining two sets of gained eyebrows.

"What's up, dude?" Emmett was the first to ask. I groaned louder and rubbed my hands over my face.

"Does this have anything to do with Bella trying to trick you into having another kid?" Jasper asked.

I kept my hands over my face and nodded silently.

"And the fact that they made it seem like a surprise that they were going wedding dress shopping today when they made the appointment a few days ago?" Jasper spoke again

I breathed loudly out of my nose before silently agreeing again.

"And that you're opening a law practice and you haven't told her yet?"

My hands flew off my face and I stared at my childhood best friend, not sure how the fuck he knew that.

"Wait, you're what? Law? I thought you were a teacher."

"How about I go shower and get dressed before we have this conversation? And Jazz, you're on the wet spot," I laughed then looked at Em, "Order pizza and shit and I have beer. I have a feeling they'll be gone for a while."

I ran up the stairs, taking them two at a time wondering how they knew all this stuff. Either they were really observant or everyone talked while saying they were keeping secrets. I hopped in to the shower and was quick about it then shaved and brushed my teeth. I towel dried my hair and dressed in cargo shorts and a dark blue t-shirt. By the time I got back downstairs, everyone was pretty much in the same spots but Jasper had moved from the wet spot. I grinned, "Thanks, guys. I feel a lot better. Bella was being pretty feisty earlier," I laughed.

"Gross," Jasper muttered. Then he repeated the same thing he'd said before I went upstairs but Emmett answered for me.

"Nope. Eddie boy was a pretty prestigious lawyer. He was the top of his class, fast track to partner, passed the boards in both Chicago and New York with flying fucking colors. Dude, Edward, I thought it was gonna be awesome. I'd open my bar; you'd be an awesome lawyer here. It was kind of fucked up that you left with barely a goodbye," Emmett mumbled.

"I was, uh, in a bad place. I just wanted to party so I thought partying… New York," I mumbled.

"Does Bella know about that part, at least?"

"Of course! How'd you know about the practice?"

"You realize our parents are like best friends forever?"

I frowned, rubbing my face.

"Did you tell Rosalie about the whole thing?"

"She was there," Emmett admitted but kind of shrugged, "Rose is going to wait for you to tell her."

"Oh, fuck. Thank God it wasn't Aice that hear it," I mumbled.

"Hey!" Jasper scowled. Charlotte looked up from her movie, making sure her Dad was okay. When he smiled and nodded at her, she gave him a smile back and went back to watching television.

"Sorry man, I don't mean that… offensively. Alice hates the fuck out of me," I reminded Jasper. He shook his head, looked like he was thinking then shrugged, "She wouldn't invade other people's privacy. But you have to tell Bella this! It's going to affect your lives so fully," Jasper finished, shaking his head. I groaned softly.

"She was going to trick me into getting pregnant. Thank God you two said what you did last night," I said but then paused. What good did them telling me do? I didn't use a condom or pull out.

"At least you found out in time. You were able to use some sort of protection, right?"

"No, man. We had a long talk last night. What happens, happens."

What was weird was up until Bella, I wore a condom every time. But the first time together, which I remember more clearly now, I didn't. Just because I'd had my fingers in her and I'd wanted to feel that tightness around my cock, nothing separating the two. And I was so fucking drunk I could barely walk into the apartment.

"Man," Emmett laughed and shook his head. "You don't want any kids. You put up a big fight about that our whole lives. You fuck up in New York and come home. You come to my bar. You fuck the one girl who I've never seen have a one night stand. A month and a half later, we get told she's knocked up. You get engaged. Eddie Cullen seems to be settling down. You guys finally get your shit together and stop fighting.

You buy a house. The baby is born. You say no more, she cries. She tries to trick you. You, I'm sure, freak out. Then she has sex with you again and you don't use protection. What's she going to think, asshole?" Emmett finishes, shaking his head. I sound like a fucking douche back but he's missing some things.

"Alight man, you're right on most of those things but number one, I talked to my parents last night. I always kind of thought I was an accident and even though my parents thought I was cute and all, I wasn't planned. But my mom told me this story about how this guy she was with beat her and fucked up her reproductive organs so I was her miracle baby. And I feel like shit because I constantly nagged her for a little brother when I was little… then it got so bad then I even tried to bargain with her – saying it could be a girl if I could just have sibling. That must have fucking sucked for her."

"Bella has told me that her definition of family when she was little was living in one house with your Mom and Dad and having a bunch of brothers and sisters and a cat and a dog. And you might fight with them but at the end of the day you say you love each other and never go to bed angry," I paused and took a deep breath, sure I'm about to reveal too much about Bella's past.

"She never had that. It was her definition because it was what she thought all of her friends had. Her mom took her from her Dad when she was a baby and was fucked up. Man, when she'd be fucking a guy who didn't like having a little kid around, she'd pay the extra money to send her on a flight alone and to her Dad.

She was back and forth all her life. She's finally steady, happy in school and her mom fucking uproots her 'cause she met her current husband. Bella gets used to living with her Dad, is happy, graduates at seventeen even though she was born in fucking September… turns eighteen right after and her Dad dies and leaves her this massive amount of money. Her mom only calls when she wants money," I finished and my fists are clenched because if I ever meet Renee Dwyer, I might kill her.

"Holy shit," Jasper muttered.

"No kidding," Emmett said, in awe.

"I thought she had money cause her grandparents' died," Jasper tries to correct me but I shake my head.

"She's never touched that money but she's used Charlie's life insurance."

"I kind of thought both her parents were dead since no one talks about them and no one came when Audrey was born. I asked Ro but she told me not to worry about it," Emmett says and I can tell they feel bad for her, which isn't what she wanted.

"Listen, guys, don't mention it. She hates talking about it, she hates sympathy."

They both agreed and I sighed heavily, looking over at my daughter who is once again asleep. She looked so much like her mother, even thought she had my hair and was clearly going to have green eyes.

"And something changed. After hearing my mom's story… I feel like this is a fucking gift, guys," I gestured to Audrey, "If we can have babies and can support them and love them then yeah, whatever happens, happens," I grinned at my friends, knowing that sounded like the corniest fucking thing I've said but I don't care. I'm planning to do fucking pro-bono work. B's making me a better person.

"I feel like we should sit in a circle and sing Kumbaya or some shit," Emmett laughed. I shook my head.

"Bella and I will be talking about the lying and the law firm but dude, how bad could that conversation go?"
