*~Bella~*

Since my interview with Elizabeth went so well yesterday I have eagerly been anticipating my new job...It's a shame that I couldn't start earlier like today but then again I had the whole weekend free before my schedule in life could be interrupted with work shifts...I woke up this morning reeling from last night and Edward and mine's first date had been forever stuck in my head...Even in my dreams I had relived it in every detail...I think I may grow to like surprises especially when it was Edward who was involved in them somehow.

I had just finished writing in my diary...The date made for a good entry and I also took it upon myself to write about my feelings for Edward and where I thought my new relationship would go...I desperately wanted to be with him for as long as possible..He made me feel good about myself and I never imagined that one person could make you feel the way Edward makes me feel. If a person could feel perfect then I would use that word to describe me. I also entered my SHORT relationship with Mike which in my head still seemed a bit unfair on him but I would also feel awful if I had to put him through what I was going through.

I closed my diary and put it back in my bedside drawer...I started to wonder what I could do today to pass the time...Alice and Emmett were out and I didn't know whether Edward was in or not..I had wanted him to be with me last night however I do not think it would be right with my family around...Whether they knew or not.

Before I could even comprehend was I was doing or what I was about to do I walked out of my room and made my way up to Esme and Carlisle's room...I know that Carlisle was at work and it dawned on me that I hadn't asked Esme how the meeting went at Carlisle's work last night...It was as good an excuse as any to drop in on her.

I opened the door to their room and saw Esme sitting on the bed reaching into a large cardboard box that was placed in front of her...She smiled as she saw me in the doorway.

"Good morning sweetheart" Esme acknowledged.

"Esme...Do you have a minute?"

"Of course, Bella...There is no need to ask me that..Come and sit down" she said grabbing the box with both hands and putting it on the floor and sitting back up when she had finished..I sat myself down on the empty spot.

"What were you doing? I wasn't interrupting anything important was I?"

"Oh no...Just looking through old scrapbooks...I like to do that sometimes when I am on my own...Re live the memories as it were" she answered...I breathed a silent sigh of relief..Even if I had been intruding on something important Esme would never tell me..She enjoyed the company and I never blamed her for that..Being in the house day after day must have taken it's toll on her long ago.

"I don't quite know how to word this..-" I began clasping both my hands together and twiddling my thumbs.

"Okay...You take your time, Bella" Esme answered and I took a deep breath.

"What exactly do you know about Edward and I?" I asked her wearily biting my lip in anticipation for her answer...Please don't be mad at me...I don't think I could bear it.

"Edward told me that he was in love with you when you were back in England...I assumed that it was one-sided but I decided to wait before one of you..Or even BOTH of you to tell me how it really was later on" she answered soothingly...Trust Esme to attempt to make this awkward situation better for me.

"He was telling the truth...I told Carlisle before I went how I felt about Edward"

"I see...So are things official now?"

"In a way...I mean, yes they are...I am just worried that it makes the family a bit unstructured"

"I don't see how it would...That's great news, Bella"

"You're not angry?"

"Why in god's name would I be angry...See sweetheart the thing with Edward..We have always had an ongoing problem of his confusion about growing up...He never took it too well and his reaction was to lash out or do the wrong things and land himself into more trouble. I did notice the change in him around Christmas, Bella and I am not going to lie to you...I thought it was Jessica at first but then when he told me he was in love with you..It all seemed to fit"

"I don't want Edward to be confused...He is SO good...He is amazing with me and I have no words to describe how I feel when I am around him"

"I saw the way he looked at you, Bella...Even when you first came here there was something else there..Something that Edward never seemed to possess with Emmett and Alice...I let it go because I like to see things span out. You have changed him, Bella"

"I haven't done anything...Really I believe that Edward has always been like this he just needed the right situation in his life to bring it out in him."

"You obviously don't see yourself very clearly"

"How do you mean?"

"Oh come on, Bella...You're incredibly intelligent for one so young, you are absolutely beautiful in every way that a person can be and you're just a generally good person, Bella...Kind and honest the best traits in any kind of person"

I choked slightly feeling the impact on my abdomen..."Esme, I'm not all those things"

"It seems Edward thinks you are and we all see it too...You just need to see it in yourself"

"I don't understand how everyone can be so calm about all of this"

"Why wouldn't we? It doesn't put us out and in any case it makes an even number of couples"

I laughed lightly at Esme's remark...I could feel myself about to cry..I moved my body so that I could lay down on my side still facing the same way towards where Esme was. I sighed.

"I love him, mum...You'll never know how much...Everything just seems to be happening so fast and I seem to lack the ability to control it...The emotions overwhelm me and it's scary"

"Why is it scary, Bella?"

"I don't know....I can determine whether it's my own insecurities that make me feel like this or whether it is just Edward but he makes me feel so...Perfect...Like I was made for him and him for me it sounds so corny like a line from a cheesy film but I cannot put it any other way" Silent tears fell down my cheeks as I buried my head into the duvet.

"Come here, Bella" Esme said..I looked up at her as she dragged her body backward to lean against her pillows..She gestured towards her lap..I slithered my way up to her lap still on my stomach and turned my body round so that I had my gaze up on the ceiling...Esme took my hair out from underneath my body and sprawled it around my head swirling her fingers around the ends..I closed my eyes letting the tears fall down my face so I could see more clearly.

"You have nothing to be insecure or self-conscious about...Nothing at all...I have been blessed in so many ways having you as a daughter, Bella...I am not just saying that because I am your adopted mother I am saying it because I mean it"

I did believe Esme...She spoke with meaning in everything that she said...However I do not think that I am all that great and everything that she describes...I just wish I could take her words and use them to convince myself I am who she describes every day.

Esme reached down onto the floor with me still in her lap...I tilted my head sideways and watched her bring an album up in her hand...I sat up as she placed the album down next to her and pulled me further into her lap by my shoulders...I backed my body up all the way...so that my back was against her chest she picked the album back up and put it front of us.

Esme turned the first page which simply stated:

Edward Cullen (born Masen) adopted by Carlisle and Esme Cullen.

Edward was so beautiful as a child...He had a smile that melted me anyway as he is my boyfriend now but as a child he must have really been loved by people...I cannot stress the fact that Edward now he is older has MUCH better dress sense but then again I used to take the occasional glances at my own childhood photographs and gagged at the clothes my mum put me in.

"As you can see here, Edward was a bright and fun-loving child...Everyone wanted to play with him and he was always making friends...That's him and his best friend Jacob in the summer one year..They are still best friends now" Esme explained...I glanced at Jacob in the picture with his arm around Edward..He hadn't changed at all.

"So then we got to this particular time of the year and we meet-"Esme stated.

I looked at the photo and saw a young girl kissing Edward on the cheek as he smiled at the camera..I knew who that was and I didn't need to be told.

"Jessica Stanley" I stated..It wasn't a question.

"If you can believe in love at this age then I will say that she was his first love, Bella"

My stomach ached suddenly at the thought that I wasn't Edward's first love as he was mine.

"I never thought I would see that look on his face again, Bella...However-"Esme trailed off putting the album back down in the direction of the floor..I am guessing to put it back in the cardboard box. Esme looked at my face from the side putting her hands around my waist "I see that look once again, Bella...With you...You bring it out in him" she finished.

"Esme-" I began

"You have brought my son back to life, Bella...It would be incredibly wrong of us to say that we wanted to give up on him...But there was nothing we could have done...Then you come along. I am not saying that my son is perfect, Bella...I have more experience of him showing his flaws than being squeaky clean but he told me countless times that he wanted to be a good brother to you...There was a determination something that I haven't seen in him since he was a child. He wanted to be good for you...To make a good impression"

"He told you that?"

"Whenever he did you wrong Bella he cried...He cried for his misdoings but also his confusion about life...He adores you now, Bella....I cannot stress enough how amazing it is that you have found each other"

"Do you really think that I am good enough for him...That we are good enough for each other?"

"Do not let that photograph of Edward and Jessica get you down, Bella....Jessica was his past but now YOU are his present and you have to take every moment as it comes"

"Even if it meant doing something that you never thought you would but deep down inside you wanted?"

"Exactly that...Living life and relationships to the full...If you do not live completely then how are you going to enjoy it?"

"I wouldn't"

"So...You do not have to worry about anything, Bella...You believe me don't you?"

I leaned my head into hers and smiled "Yes...Strangely enough I do"

"Good" she answered kissing my cheek "I heard about the job by the way"

"How did you find out about that?"

"Alice"

"I need to stop telling her things"

"Bella she is ecstatic for you...We all are. So do you want to tell me a little bit about it?"

"I don't know much about it all I know is that everyone who works there is really nice...Jacob. Edward's best friend works there too"

"Oh you have met him already?! It's a shame he and Edward do not hang out as much as they used to...He is a nice young man"

"He seems nice...They all do"

"That's all that is important..A job is never worth doing if you do not have a good support system within the rest of your employees. Alice always praises that place"

"I can see why"

"So when do you start?"

"Monday"

"Are you nervous?"

"A little...I am sure I will be okay though"

Esme hugged me tighter and rocked me slowly from side to side "that's the attitude, Bella"

"I have never worked before, though"

"Just be yourself, Bella...You work hard and you are a good person...You won't have a problem"

"Thank you"

"You're always welcome, sweetheart"

"So did you need a hand with anything...Before I go and lay down for an hour or two"

"No of course not, Bella...You go ahead"

Esme kissed my cheek again as I climbed off of her lap...I walked over to the door but stopped.

"Do you have any recent pictures of Edward?"

Esme smiled and reached further into the bottom of the box and pulled out a single photograph and held it out to me I walked over and took it from her but kept it hidden...I needed to see it alone so that I wouldn't embarrass myself in front of Esme with my reaction.

I walked out of the room and went back down to my room closing the door behind me...I leant against it and flipped the picture round in my hands.

My boyfriend is beautiful...My boyfriend is gorgeous...I LOVE my boyfriend!!

I gaped at the photograph my mouth hanging open...The photo had been professionally done and Edward was silhouetted in black and white...He was leaning against a wall of some sort but his gaze was not on the camera it was something near to the left of the lens...He wasn't posing like models did in magazines..He was in a relaxed stance with both his hands in his pockets and his head cowered slightly as he beamed widely his perfect teeth on show to the camera.

I still couldn't believe that this guy was mine...ALL mine and I would fight for him to the death if any other girl got in the way of our time together...I opened up my bedside drawer and kissed the picture before putting it in there gently before closing it again. I was still tired however when I glanced over at my bed the idea wasn't tempting anymore..I stepped out of my room and closed the door behind me without another thought in my head.

I flew into Edward's room closing the door behind me to find it empty and silent...I paced over to the bed the tears falling from my face after my talk with Esme and the beauty that was Edward...I stroked his soft duvet cover once with my hand...I climbed onto his bed and buried my head into his pillow...Inhaling his scent all around me...That amazing one-of a kind fruity smell with a hint of male musk...I doubt it was the musk that I am used to men of the older people wearing in England...It was more modern but goodness knows what name it was called.

I kept my eyes open even though my tears made affected my vision completely...I was about to close my eyes when something caught my eye on the bedside table...I pushed my torso up with my arms and leaned in closer to the table...I picked up the small pile and placed it in both my hands...I looked down and gasped quietly the minute I rubbed the tears away from my eyes.

They were photos...The photos from my wardrobe back at home in England...My mum and myself as a child were staring back at me...I stroked my mum's happy face and forced the sobs to break free from my body..If I was going to let all my emotion go then now would be the best time.

"Bella?" I swung my head around to find Edward in the doorway...Surely I could have heard something as loud as the bedroom door opening and closing but now it seemed like I was missing a lot more than I had realised...I saw Edward's glance descend to the photos in my hand...He looked worried and concerned as he took a deep breath...I am sure that I sure him bite his lip down also but I couldn't be sure with my emotional state.

"I am sorry...I shouldn't have taken them...I thought that you might want to keep them for memory sake maybe keep them in your diary or something-" he trailed off his hands burrowing into both of his pockets...How could he be sorry? I had completely forgotten about them and if I had realised too late then they may have been gone forever...New occupants never want any traces of old occupants in new houses that they save up to afford.

I didn't want to speak...I leant over and put the photos back on the bedside table...I got up onto my knees and crawled towards Edward who still hadn't moved from the inside of his bedroom door...I picked his hand up and grasped it in mine before pushing up my head to reach his lips...I connected our mouths and ran my free hand through his hair...Keeping my mouth steady but keeping my emotion strong...I opened my mouth and took him in fully feverishly moving my mouth to anywhere I could be in his...God did I love my boyfriend!

In England I came across girls who would state how much they missed their boyfriends yet they had only been away from them a day...I used to wonder whether they were saying it just to gain the right amount of attention from others or whether what they said was genuine...I could relate to missing my boyfriend...Totally and completely.

I moved my hand out of his and started to unbutton his shirt...I tried desperately to keep my hands steady but it was proving to be impossible...I had got to the second button still connecting our tongues.

"Bella-"Edward whispered quietly against my lips...He was about to protest and say that I didn't have to do it...It wasn't the fact that I HAD to do anything...I NEEDED to...He had shown me how he felt for me and how he made me feel back in England and now as once again he has proven that he has one of the greatest hearts beating in any other guy in the world I thought it only right that I would return the favour..He needed it as much as I did and my needs were not important right now...It needed to be about him for a change. I got to the fourth button continuing my trail down to the last.

"Bella-"Edward said again breaking our lips apart.

"Ssh" I whispered against his lips moving my lips down to his neck...He felt so good against my mouth...I loved how his throat vibrated when he moaned and how his chest rose and fell with every breath he made...I loved the smell of his skin...I love him...Everything about him even the fact that he can make mistakes and say the wrong thing...He was mine.

I undid the last button and pulled his shirt down his shoulders to his forearms he stayed still as a statue as I moved my lips from his neck down his chest...trailing my mouth along the length of his collarbone and gaining a guttural moan in response...I got to his pecks rock hard and beautiful I pulled out my tongue and kissed both his pecks and his nipples as I would his mouth...As I got to the second nipple Edward put both his hands in my hair...He did not use force and push my head down further because he wasn't like that...He was never going to hurt me or pressure me...I knew that now and he would always make my needs met before his own and as much as I loved him for it I wasn't going to spend our relationship with him wanting to please me all the time..He didn't need to do anything physical to please me however it was a plus...Edward gave me what I wanted just by breathing and existing and as long as he was in my life..I wanted us to be equal...I felt powerful at least more powerful in myself when I had been able to make him feel the way he did back in England and I wanted to feel that again...I am ALMOST ready to love him fully but for now until I knew I was completely and utterly ready then I would do as best I could for him because everyone knows that you can only do your best and nothing more.

I trailed further down his stomach to his abdominal muscles and I felt him buckle slightly...I halted my movements and without looking up at his face grabbed him forcefully by the shoulders with both my hands and led him towards me...He obliged and leant down to climb onto the bed putting his weight on his knees as he continued to move forwards with me...I connected our mouths again and twisted my body slightly..I pushed him down onto the bed so that his back sunk fully into the mattress...I kept my mouth moving on his and put both my legs on either side of his torso and lent forwards my hair brushing his chest.

"God..Bella" Edward moaned running out of his oxygen supply.

"Tell me what you want, Edward?" I whispered against his lips as he moaned again..It wasn't a moan of pleasure it was more a moan of aggravation..I could sense that he was disappointed in himself and how his body reacted to me as his head wanted me to stop so that he could do these things to me instead.

"Bella..I..Can't" He choked out as I had moved downwards to kiss his abs.

"Edward...I want to please you" I pleaded rubbing my two index fingers along the 'V-shaped' muscle on his lower stomach.

"You please me already, Bella...Too much...I can't lose control with you right now because I will do things I will regret" he answered his voice low and deep.

I unbuckled his belt slowly as his hips automatically thrust upwards...I wasn't scared this time...I didn't need to be..Fair enough I didn't want to do this whole thing fully because all of my clothes were still intact but if I was able to do this without being nude then I was all for it.

I hooked my fingers around his jeans and pushed them down half-way so they landed on his knees.

"Bella...Please?" Edward pleaded and I smiled against his skin as I kissed along the waistband of his boxers...I could see his desire for me but it only spurred me on more...What was happening to me?

"Tell me, Edward" I demanded in a whisper...I took Edward's silence as an opportunity to look at him. He had his hands covering his face...Was I doing something wrong?

I sat up and waited for him to take his hands off of his face...It wasn't long before he did so...I took a deep breath as I saw tears trailing down his cheeks.

"Edward...I'm sorry...I am new with all of this and I am sorry if I am doing it all wrong" I apologised putting both my hands in my lap and biting down on my lip.

"Jesus Christ!" Edward cursed and sat up using his arms to support him "It's not you, Bella...It's me...This is amazing and something that I never imagined would happen with you..I am scared for you sweetheart I don't want you to do this until you feel it is right to do so"

"Do you think I did this because I HAD to?"

"No...I would demand that you didn't do it"

"Edward what you did for me...Back when we were in England...You set my soul alight when you touched me and I felt special...I have never felt like that...I need you to feel that too"

"Bella-"

"Edward for once in your life will you take the plunge and allow me to love you like I do...I cannot say how I feel about you in words there isn't enough...I have to show you"

"I won't-"

I put my hand on his genitals then as he threw his head back into the pillow moaning hard...I must make a mental note then and there to put that gesture down as a definite get-out clause of a sticky situation and possible argument. I moved my hand up and down slowly...This felt strange to me but also appealing at the same time..Edward was large that I could feel and fear creeped over me slightly as I wondered how we were going to connect that way. I kept one hand going with my motions and trailed my head up to Edward's...He had his eyes closed and his breathing was now ragged and very fast...Could I really do this to him?

I kissed his forehead and both his cheeks and moved down to his jaw as his breathing got faster and faster...I could feel his body moving up and further into my hand..I didn't know what was the best way to move my hand...Whether there was a trick or a knack to it all I knew was that Edward liked it and that was all that matters.

I wrapped my mouth around his suppressing his moans that were now getting louder..He forcefully grabbed my hair and pulled me closer to him..My hand and arm were beginning to ache but Edward needed this and I would do it for him...Like I would do anything for him.

"Bella..I'm-" he stuttered as I kissed his eyelids.

"Do it, Edward...I need you to" I admitted as he then let go after a few moments of struggle...Now, I knew about orgasms and even though I had lacked the knowledge about how it feels and what it could do to a person..I could watch Edward have one every hour of every day...Did I just think that? I saw his smile as he relaxed all of his muscles..The smile was like what alcohol did to my mum...A look of pure....Ecstasy...If that is the right word.

I lifted my hand from him...It was slightly moist but I didn't care...I was too damn happy right now...Near to ecstatic knowing that it was me that had done that to him and no one else. Edward's breathing died down as he finally fluttered his eyes open..I smiled down at him as he took my waist and pulled me down so that I was laying completely in his chest...He then cocooned his arms around my back and kissed my head numerous times as I snuggled into my usual crook.

"Do you know how amazing you are, Bella?" He asked...His voice had steadied now.

"You are the amazing one" I answered...He grabbed each side of my head and pulled me up to connect our eyes again...I looked down deep in the green orbs searching for what he would say next but as usual...I saw nothing.

"Stop doing that" he said a little forcefully "I am nowhere near the kind of person you are my love...I am not ashamed to admit that, either. Can you even begin to know the extent of how much I love you...How much I keep loving you more and more as each day passes...I want to be able to do what you have just done to me one day but I will wait for you...I can wait forever, Bella if you asked me to"

I stroked his cheek with one of my hands but remained silent allowing his words to sink in. "You know when I first met you...I knew that you were special...You were the one person who would take away my pain and replace it with laughter and you would throw all the issues of my life out of the window just by talking to me...I was honoured to have you as my sister, Bella as corny as that might sound...Now you belong to me I am never ever going to let you go..I would never hurt one hair on your beautiful head and I would never change you...My heart and soul are yours, Bella..Along with my body and they will be yours until the day I die whether we are still together then or not"

Edward spoke with such sincerity and I had always known that he was genuine even when we weren't going out but now he had touched me and spoke volumes that I never thought I would receive in my life...I wanted to be loved one day and I didn't know what to expect...Now I didn't ever want Edward to go.

"I wasn't rejecting you before...I need you to know that..Possessing the ability to reject anything from you is not in my vocabulary I was scared for you..I didn't want you to regret it, Bella"

"I would never regret it, Edward...I have always done things in my life that I wanted to do and sometimes it has worked and sometimes it hasn't but I wanted this for you" I admitted "Now...Would you please shut up and kiss me?" I finished with a smile...He smiled back his eyes lighting up as he did so.

"With pleasure" he answered as he crashed his lips to mine.

*~Alice~*

"Rose...The least you can do is come out and let me see...You know I can't wear these anymore!" I whined at Rose's closed dressing room curtain..I had wanted to go out lingerie shopping with her for a while but the only time we get to go out is when I am too FAT to fit into anything...I looked over at the assistant who was giving me a stern look..I bit down on my lip and slouched back further into the wall.

"Alice...I am NOT going to humiliate myself" Rose stated...I huffed and strode towards the curtain leaning so that my mouth was inches away from the fabric.

"Then at least let me come in and see" I whispered...I heard Rose exhale from the other side and I jumped instantly when the curtain flew open to half-way...I stepped in and closed it after me.

"Rose you look great!" I exclaimed looking at her reflection in the mirror...Rose always looked good in lingerie but the colour yellow was a given considering her hair colour and blue eyes.

"I feel silly...I don't even LIKE yellow" Rose moaned.

"You are going to stand there and tell me that you don't look good...Emmett doesn't know what he is missing"

"He rarely has a chance to miss anything with me..I can never say no to him"

"So what's stopping you?"

"The fact that he has never seen me in yellow...He loves red on me I know that much"

"How do you know if you don't try...You are always the one to take risks, Rose"

"Yeah and now it is coming back to bit me on the ass now when I WANT to be solemn and sensible..Alice come on I am going to have to WAX if I buy this"

"What's a bit of waxing when you can have Emmett eating out of the palm of your hand...I know my brother and even though I have never thought about him having sex I know how much he worships you, Rose"

"Alice we do not worship each other...At least not in the way that you and Jasper do...See this colour yellow would look so much better on you...Or even Bella...But not me"

"This is not about me OR Bella...It's all about you"

"If I buy it will you stop hassling me?"

"No because I need you to promise that you will wear it...It's all very well saying that you will buy it, Rose but then it can be in a drawer for the next five years when you get it home"

"Jeez, Alice sometimes I swear you are psychic"

"I am not...I just know you"

Rose grunted in defeat and threw her hands up...I clapped jumping up and down a little finding it hard due to my increase in weight...I then skipped back out of the curtain and waited for Rose to get dressed again.

Once Rose had brought lingerie we took our appointments at our usual health spa...Rose added on a wax to her list and we spent the day in pure relaxation...I needed to do as much as I could now until the baby came..As my attention would be entirely on my child once it was born I needed to get as much time for myself as I could.

I was terrified about having mine and Jasper's child but I couldn't help but feel excited either.

*~Carlisle~*

On any normal day I would get home and go into the confines of my office to turn on my mind to the usual daily paperwork I received...However I had some good news today...One of my bosses above my position in the hospital had spoken to Esme and I recently about my progress at Sandgrove..Before attending the meeting I hadn't helped by thinking that I was going to be disciplined because of my decision to endure the adoption process of Bella...As she was originally one of my patients and we do as doctors in the medical profession keep doctor and patient relationships to a strict guideline.

However this fact never came up...My boss whose name is Miss Evans was very brief in the criteria of the interview but she had nothing but the highest praise and I felt good walking out of there knowing that I could have that effect on people.

I walked into the living room automatically turning my gaze to the kitchen to find Esme cooking...I wrapped my arms around her waist as I reached her and she turned around to wrap her arms around my shoulders...I held her for a moment neither of us saying anything before I broke apart and cupped one of her cheeks in my hand.

"I have good news darling" I stated as she waited patiently beneath my touch. "I have been promoted" I finished

Esme...My beautiful wife beamed her mouth-dropping smile and squealed as she threw herself onto me..I lifted her off of the ground as she laughed into my shoulder...I loved how my wife wanted the same things I did and was so supportive. I placed her back down.

"That's amazing sweetheart" she choked out moving her lips to touch mine..I caressed her mouth with mine for only a moment..Even though I wanted to go further..I always wanted my Esme and I would never stop now we had come this far together and gone through so much together in both our lives.

"The employees of the hospital are throwing a party for me...In my honour" I said against her lips.

"When"? she breathed back.

"Friday"

"That's three days away!" Esme exclaimed as I put my index finger on her lips.

"You do not have to hostess this time sweetheart...They are throwing it in the village hall..They want all of my family to come"

"Oh...Of course we will be there baby...Is it a formal occasion?"

"Yes...However it is NOT a black and white rule like last time" The last time I had got promoted the rules were that the people invited would need to be in black and white...It was a silly thing to do in all honesty even though I was completely grateful for being thrown a party at all...Trying to calm Emmett down when he is complaining endlessly about how he looks like a penguin is NOT an easy job.

"Are you going to tell everyone?"

"Yes...Tonight at dinner" I answered kissing her one last time and letting go of her. "Do you need any help?"

"No...You go and work...I will come and get you when it is ready" Esme turned back round but before she could turn around fully I grabbed her waist with one hand and moved closer to her again.

"I love you, Esme" I said as she smiled.

"Where did that come from?" she exclaimed humorously.

"Is it a crime for a husband to love his wife?" I teased.

"Of course not...It was just all a bit sudden that's all"

"So you don't love me, then?"

"Why would you even ask something like that, my love" Esme cooed.

"Simple" I said with a smile...Esme rolled her eyes.

"I loved you the day I met you. Carlisle...I love you now and I will love you forever" she answered

"That's all I needed to know" I replied and caressed her mouth with mine again.

"We will have to continue this later my darling...The dinner isn't going to cook itself" Esme protested but I wasn't having any of it.

"Stuff the dinner, I will get a takeaway" I demanded as I moved my hands to the sides of her waist and pushed my fingers in and moved them around in a circling motion.

"Carlisle-"Esme started

"Yes?" I whispered my mouth moving to her neck as I ravished every angle with kisses.

"We...Can't" she choked out through moans of pleasure...I always knew how to back her into a corner and I loved every second of it.

"You're body is reacting differently to your words, my love" I teased she placed her hands on my shoulders.

"Bella and Edward-" she started

"I want you" I stated.

That was it...That was all I needed for Esme to lift her hands to the sides of my head and crash her lips to mine and melt her tongue with mine..She threw herself on me and wrapped her legs around my waist...I gripped her thighs and walked out of the kitchen our mouths working together resulting in both of us panting...I walked up the stairs silencing my own moans as I passed both Edward and Bella's rooms before I got further down the hallway and opened the door to our bedroom...I stumbled in and felt Esme giggle on my lips...The vibrations sending pleasure straight to my already erect penis. I pushed her down hard as she stood back down on her feet...I started undoing the buttons of her top however due to my heightened desire I found it impossible...I tore both sides of the top so that it ripped in half and flew off of her body..I studied her amazing torso and chest before attacking her neck...Esme threw her head back allowing me more space to roam..I snaked one of my hands towards her back and undid her bra in one swift movement..What can I say I have had a lot of practice! The bra fell down her body easily...I kneaded one of her breasts as I showered the other one with my mouth..Esme was panting hard..She needed this as much as I did...She tore my shirt the same way I had done hers and let it fall off of me before immediately moving to my belt buckle...I kept my attention on the other breast I hadn't kissed yet as she threw my belt buckle somewhere in the room.

Esme hooked her fingers around my trousers as she fell backwards on the bed taking me with her...I kissed her stomach and continued down to her waist...I unbuttoned her trousers and pulled them down slightly to reveal her lacy underwear which was the same colour her bra had been and would now have the same fate in the room. I groaned as Esme lifted herself up off the bed indicating that it was okay for me to remove her trousers...I took her trousers all the way down to her knees and kissed along the band of her underwear...Her legs moved upwards so that she could kick off her trousers completely.

"Carlisle" she groaned in her beautiful husky voice...I would NEVER grow tired of that voice!

"What is it love?" I answered her...Teasing her slightly by not moving my hands at all.

"I need you" she stated her voice breaking slightly...I could deny her nothing...I lowered her underwear down to her knees the same way I had done with her trousers as she pulled my trousers off with her feet..I moved back up so that our faces were close together and swiftly entered her..We both moaned in unison at the contact..Esme tilted her head back as I pulled out and thrusted back in again now filling her completely...Our connection this way had always been right...Like we were made for each other.

With each thrust I went deeper and deeper inside of her as we found our rhythm easily...Esme's moans were now frantic ...I loved making love to my wife..However this could be more easily described as just sex because we had gone into it in such a hurry.

It wasn't long before I could feel my orgasm emerge from my lower abdomen...Esme was still panting hard and meeting my thrusts as best she could even though I could see that her strength was wilting ever so slightly...I waited for her orgasm first...I had the stamina to last for her...I always would.

"Carlisle" she breathed after a moment

"Come for me, Esme" I whispered moving one of my hands to where we were connected...As soon as my hand cupped both of us Esme orgasmed violently her body shaking and her muscles relaxing gradually as she came back down to reality...I let myself go into her once she had finished hers so that she could feel what she did to me...I fell onto her and kissed her passionately our pants still there but slower and deeper this time.

"I love you" Esme said as she moved her lips to my forehead and my eyelids...My eyes were still closed from my ecstasy.

"I love you too" I stuttered sinking further into her body never breaking my connection with her.

(Later)

I walked up to the house holding the pocket which held the ring inside of it still...I hoped to god that Rosalie would like it...I had spent most of this morning going through all of her clothes and makeup to find a colour that she used and wore more than once...It was a toss between gold and red and seeing as I could not get a gold stone...I picked a yellow gold ring with a large Ruby in the middle and two little diamonds on the outside...Ruby was also Rose's birthstone and you could never go wrong with those she had already proven that to me when we brought Bella's Christmas present.

"Hello!" I called into the house the sound of my voice echoing off the walls.

"In the dining room, Emmett!" My dad called back in response..I put my car keys on the coffee table and walked into the dining room to find every member of my family sitting down...However their plates were all empty.

"Come and sit down, Emmett...I have something to say to everyone before we all eat" dad explained and I obliged going over to sit in my seat...I shot my mum a worried look but she smiled lightly in response soothing me.

"Now as you all know I went to a meeting with Esme recently with a boss of mine...She got back to me with information about how she thought the interview went and it turns out that...I have been promoted"!

I looked over at Alice, Bella and Edward who were all smiling widely at the news...I smiled over at my dad...If anyone deserved a promotion it would be my dad...I had always thought that he worked too hard in his job.

"I think I speak for everyone when I say...A toast-" I started as my siblings all raised their glasses enthusiastically..Mum had joined in as I carried on "To dad...Congratulations" I said gesturing my glass to him.

"Congratulations!" My siblings all said in unison as we all took a sip and put our glasses back down on the table.

"Thank you very much...But that isn't all...There will be a party thrown in my honour at the village hall on Friday night..My bosses would like you ALL to attend...Alice and Emmett you may bring Jasper and Rosalie if you wish to do so"

"Thank you, dad" Alice said

"Thanks" I said after her...I looked over at Bella and Edward who were still smiling. "So can we eat now?" I finished.

Dad smiled and rolled his eyes "Yes" he answered simply as I dived in to my food.

I would need to tell dad about how I was going to propose to Rosalie at some point before the party this week...I wasn't planning to keep the moment off for much longer because I had a master plan about how to do it.

Need to talk to dad...Need to talk to dad.

I need to also say thank you to 'Miss. Ally Lautner, tears-to-cry and Devil nightmare' for your reviews..I have only just received them after finishing the chapter.
