Chapter Thirty-Four

Edward Cullen

We were married. Fina-fucking-ly. It felt like it took forever for the wedding day to arrive no matter how busy the days before were. Emmett, Jasper and I practiced in secret so Rose wouldn't tell Bella. Alice had no idea because she was generally only letting Jasper in to pick up and drop off Charlotte.

Bella and I had a bet going on whether or not they reunited when Alice went into labor. I said no, Alice was a little bag of crazy while Bella hit me and said yes, Alice has loved Jasper from the moment she saw him and the birth of their second child would bring them together.

After getting to the hotel, I was a little disappointed that there would be no wedding night sex but I could see through the foundation and concealer that Bella was exhausted. I had stripped to my boxers but she was still in her dress, the little bump of her stomach visible already. I didn't remember her starting to show so early with Audrey but I think I had also mentally blocked that period of my life out of my mind. Or maybe I wasn't even involved at this point.

I felt like a fuck up sometimes in regards to how I had reacted to Bella being pregnant the first time. One day, Audrey might ask and what are we going to tell her? Daddy was a prick and Mommy left his apartment in tears after he suggested she wasn't his and would she get an abortion?

No.

We'd tell her she was a surprise but the best kind of surprise. The kind of surprise you didn't know you wanted… no, needed, until you had it in front of you. That's what Audrey was to me. I already missed her.

Bella started to stir before squinting her eyes open. Her mascara and eyeliner was smeared but she still looked beautiful.

"Morning," she whispered, glancing down at what she was wearing. "Oh my God! I can't believe I slept in this…"

"You were tired," I shrugged.

"Oh but it's all wrinkly…"

"It's fine, you were going to have it cleaned and stored anyway, B. They'll take care of it."

Bella's shoulders visibly relaxed and I took the opportunity to lean over and kiss her.

"Hi, Mrs. Cullen."

"Mmm, hi Mr. Cullen," she snuggled up to me, despite the dress.

"How do you feel?" I asked, hoping she felt well enough for sex. Or at least a blow job.

"I feel great… let me shower, I'll be right back, k?"

I nodded, taking that as a good sign. She drug her suitcase into the bathroom with her and I rolled my eyes. Women and their fucking toiletries.

Figuring she'd be a while, I slid my boxers off and wrapped my hand around my dick. Groaning softly, I began to stroke myself. Slowly at first then quicker.

I imagined Bella naked on the beach on her hands and knees, screaming as I fucked her from behind. Then I thought of her in this bed, her wrapping her tiny fist around me and jerking me off exactly how she knew I liked it.

Just as I was about to come, the bathroom door opened and Bella was standing there in a white bikini that barely covered her tits and drying her hair with a towel. That did it for me. I stared at her breasts and grunted her name as I came on my stomach.

"Getting started without me?" Bella asked her voice more mischievous that I'd ever heard it.

"Couldn't help it, B. You looked so hot… now you look that much fucking hotter," I told her, holding my hand out for the towel. Bella shook her head and climbed onto the bed on her hands and knees. Then she very slowly wiped off my stomach with the damp towel.

"Mmm, you look good too," Bella ran her hand over my now clean abs. I grinned and pulled her on top of me, capturing her lips. She was straddling my stomach and I could feel the heat from her through her bikini.

"Oh, wait… wait!" Bella hopped up and I hoped she wasn't going to be sick. Morning sickness fucking sucked and often interrupted us time. Instead of getting off the bed though, she turned so I could see her ass.

Her ass was barely covered with by the white bikini that was bedazzled with the words 'Mrs. Edward Cullen.'

How fucking hot.

"Holy shit, B."

It was spelled out in pink rhinestones but fuck; it was her wearing it, not me. As long as she didn't try to put me in a matching bedazzled Speedo, we were cool.

Bella looked over her shoulder, her dark hair swinging to one side. "Do you like it?"

Getting on my knees, I kneeled behind her and pressed my dick against her ass. She moaned softly and wiggled her pert ass back against me.

"Guess you like it," B giggled.

I tugged the strings on each side, pulling it off her easily. I was in no mood for foreplay – it had been days since we'd been together. Bella watched me over her shoulders, her chocolate eyes even darker. She made a little whimpering noise as I slid the head of my cock between her cheeks, going as far to apply just the smallest amount of pressure at her entrance.

"Edward!" Bella sounded shocked, making me chuckle.

"I know, baby. Not now. I wouldn't… without, you know, getting you ready. But you did promise –"

"I know! Just not our first time being married," Bella whined and I knew she was right and had never intended it, anyway. Moving backwards on my knees, I told her to lie on her back.

Bella look bewildered but did what I asked anyway. I grinned at the sight of her in just the bikini top. She squirmed under my look, bending her knees and crossing her ankles.

I shook my head.

"What?" Bella asked, trying to portray innocence. I turned and uncrossed her ankles, spreading her knees.

"That's what," I said, settling between her legs. I held myself up on my forearms, careful not to put any weight on her before leaning down and kissing her full lips.

Bella wrapped her arms around my neck and returned the kiss eagerly. Shifting my weight to my right arm, I used my left hand to untie the string behind her neck, letting the bikini loosen before pushing it away. I groaned softly at the sight of her – I didn't think I'd ever get over how hot she is – before leaning down and planting open mouthed kisses on the swell of her right tit then her left.

"That… mmm, Edward," Bella murmured, her hands finding their way to the hair at the base of my neck. I picked a spot and sucked softly, wanting to mark her. She arched her back when I pulled away. "Don't stop," her voice begged. I had no intention of stopping.

I captured her lips again as I palmed her breast for a second before my hand traveled south between our bodies. I groaned softly into her mouth as I ran the tip of my finger down her slit. She was hot and soaked and I needed to be in her. Wrapping my hand around my dick, I aligned myself with her entrance and sank into her with a long, loud moan. She felt… so fucking good.

Amazing.

Heaven.

Bella Cullen

We spent the rest of the day like every honeymooning couple should. We ate breakfast, had sex again, went to the beach, had more sex, did a little bit of shopping, had sex in a changing room, went to a fancy dinner on the beach, had sex on the beach.

By the end of the day, he was exhausted and I was exhausted. After we'd both showered and washed the sand out of… all the places you'd rather not have sand, I pulled on a sheet white negligee that I'd bought specifically for our honeymoon.

As I sat on the bed, waiting for Edward to finish in the bathroom, I checked my phone. I'd called Esme about a hundred times already and Audrey was fine but now I had 26 missed calls? My heart started racing and my fingers were trembling as I tried to unlock it to see who had called so many times. What if something was wrong with Audrey?

I finally got it unlocked and as I was about to pick the option, the phone started ringing.

Jasper Whitlock.

I answered; still terrified that something could be wrong with Audrey. Had they had Jasper call because of his experience in dealing with upset parents?

"Hello?" I said my voice cautious.

"Bella? Finally, hey it's Jasper…"

"Is Audrey alright?" I blurted. If something was wrong with her, he should just spit it out and not dance around the subject.

"Uh, Audrey?"

"Audrey! My daughter!"

"Oh yeah… shit, sorry. Uh, Alice is in labor. She's asking for you and I know you're on your honeymoon but shit, she won't let anyone else in and says she just wants you -" Jasper prattled on and I interrupted him before he could go any further.

Edward came into the room, raising his eyebrows at me and the phone. He mouthed, "My mom?" I shook my head and mouthed back, "Jasper."

"We're in Malibu but we'll catch the first flight back, I don't want her to be alone," I agreed.

"Alright, thanks, Bella. Try to hurry because she's six centimeters and fully effaced, I don't think there's that much longer."

Jasper hung up and I stared at Edward for a minute, exasperated.

"Alice is in labor and won't let anyone in and keeps asking for me. Then Jasper tells me to hurry!"

"We're on our honeymoon, though," Edward scowled and I could see the wheels in his head turning. "Did you bother them on their honeymoon?"

"No but—"

"Why should we have to go back? We've only been here for a day!"

"I know but—"

"And the airplane tickets are gonna cost a fortune."

"Yeah but—"

"We're on our honeymoon!"

"Edward!"

Finally, that got his attention.

"What?"

"Alice is one of my best friends and Jasper is one of yours… we can't just abandon them in their time of need!"

A bit dramatic but it was true.

It took a few more minutes of persuasion and promises of tons of sex and blow jobs and Audrey staying at his parents' as promised before he agreed.

Plus, this wasn't our real honeymoon. Our real honeymoon would be a few months after the baby was born.

Edward booked our flight online while I ran around packing our stuff up. Luckily, we hadn't unpacked completely otherwise it'd be a complete pain in the butt.

The flight was thankfully and rather expensively in just two hours – we'd have enough time to get from the hotel and through airport security.

"I want to stay in Malibu," Edward complained.

I walked over to him and laid my hand on his chest, kissing him softly over his t-shirt.

"I want to stay in Malibu, too… but Alice needs us. And then you'll have me all to yourself at home," I murmured, sliding my hand down his chest and stomach. I unbuttoned his khaki shorts.

"What are you doing?" Edward asked, running his fingers through my hair.

"A goodbye to the fantasticness that was Malibu?"

I pushed his shorts and boxers down then dropped to my knees in front of him. Luckily, the carpet was plush against my knees.

"You don't have to—" Edward moaned as I wrapped my lips around the head of his cock.

"Mmm…" I hummed, taking him into my mouth and sucking softly. His fingers dug into my scalp as he tried to push himself further into my mouth. I moaned around him and relaxed my throat and began bobbing my head

After a year of being together, I knew just what to do to make him cum and make him cum fast. I carefully ran my teeth along his dick, causing him to moan my name loudly. Then I took his balls into my hand, applying just the amount of pressure.

In no time at all, Edward was loudly declaring his love for me as he came down my throat. I swallowed every last drop before pulling away, kissing the head of his dick.

Edward was still panting as he spoke, "That's a great way to say farewell."

By the time we made it back to Chicago, Alice had already given birth to a beautiful little boy named Bennett Max. Obviously, Charlotte had some say in the middle name.

When we entered the room, Jasper was holding the tiny bundle and sitting on the side of Alice's bed, rocking him and speaking softly. Charlotte was basically wrapped like a monkey around her father's back, peeking at her new baby brother.

As much as she seemed to love babies, her face read something like, "That's going to come and live in my house all the time?"

Alice was perched up, watching her little family with a smile on her face. She looked exhausted and her hair was a mess but that seemed to be the least of her concerns.

"Aunt Bella!" Charlotte squealed when she saw me. She climbed off the hospital bed and ran to Edward, "I can call you Uncle Edward now cause you married my Aunt Bella, right, Mommy? Right, Daddy?" Charlotte looked back at her parents for confirmation.

"As long as it's okay with Edward."

"Only if it's okay with Edward."

Alice and Jasper spoke at the same time then looked at each other and laughed.

I smirked at Edward, I knew they'd reconcile. He rolled his eyes at me and mouthed, "Give it a few weeks," before picking up Charlotte. She hugged him tight and grinned at him, "Is it okay?"

"Yeah, of course," Edward said. There was some emotion on his face that I couldn't quite read, almost like he was proud that he'd gotten the title of uncle from Charlotte.

"Alice," I said, sitting on the other side of the bed, "I'm so sorry we didn't make it here in time!"

"It's alright… Jasper stepped up once we realized that you wouldn't be able to make it. He delivered Bennett," Alice smiled proudly.

"Wow… so are you two…?"

"I honestly don't know. He found a partner so he won't be on call twenty-four, seven… that would take a lot of stress off but we both said some things that can't be taken back," Alice said quietly.

I nodded, understanding what she meant. Edward and I had our fair share of saying things that couldn't be taken back but we'd worked through them. "Have you thought of marriage counseling?"

"No," Alice shook her head and sighed. "I suggested it once and you would have thought I suggested slaughtering a bunny in front of Charlotte."

"He's a doctor, you would think…"

"Yeah, you would think but he thinks it's all a bunch of bull. It might be but I don't know, maybe it wouldn't hurt to try."

"How are you feeling?" I held her hand in mine, now knowing how exhausting labor and child birth is.

"Sore… tired… can you believe he was only an ounce shy of ten pounds?"

"Ten pounds? Oh my God!"

I looked up to see that Jasper and Edward were talking quietly, Jasper now holding Charlotte and Edward holding Bennett.

"I had no idea he would be so big! Even the doctors were amazed… Charlotte was only six pounds, eleven ounces."

"I can't even imagine…" I trailed off because I might have to imagine. Audrey was small but what if this baby was huge?

"Where are Emmett and Rose?"

"Oh, they went to relieve Jasper and Rose's parents from babysitting Henry and Jax so they could come see Bennett."

"Speaking of Bennett, I want to see him," I told Alice, patting her hand gently and walking over to where Edward and Jasper were whispering.

Edward looked up and grinned at me and I smiled back, holding my arms out for the not-so-tiny bundle.

"Hi Bennett…" I whispered, stroking his chubby little cheek. Seeing him like this made me long for Audrey in a way that I never knew was possible. Knowing she was close but that I wasn't with her made it even harder.

Jasper carried Charlotte over to Alice. Charlotte was asking a ton of questions but the main thing seemed to be, "And he's coming to live with us?" I guess Charlotte had already heard her little brother's cries and wasn't too impressed.

"You're a natural with kids," Edward said, staring at me and Bennett with the same grin on his face. "I can just imagine in seven months, you holding our little boy…"

I smirked at him, "What if we have all girls?"

"Then we'll just have to keep going and going until you finally produce an heir to the Cullen fortune."

it's almost over, folks.

and on that note, at this moment, one year ago today, i was sitting in the hospital waiting room to hear how my sister's c-section went and if the baby was alright. happy first birthday to my beautiful niece, c.g.!
