Forgetting the Trouble

EPOV

"I think I found something!" My head shot up at Roger's words. Embry, Emily, and I all leaned forward, trying to figure out what was happening while the two computer guys continued conversing in code.

Roger turned around to look at Emily.

"Do you allow your employees to remotely access into your system?" He asked her.

"Yes, on occasion. When there is an overload of work, I allow the techs to take things with them to enter later. Did someone from my office access the Cullen information from home?" Emily asked. Roger nodded.

"It has been accessed twice from outside this system. Once by someone that works here, L. Mallory. And it has also been accessed by an unknown address that I will have to investigate further. But, I can do that from my own system." He then started railing on Emily's tech guy for inadequate security measures. Emily was shaking her head.

"I'm not sure why Lauren would need access to your file." She said, looking at me. She suddenly got up and went into a different office. She came back in, carrying a planner. "She was working that week, but she was not assigned to Bella." She closed it and shook her head. "I will talk to Lauren and ask her why she was accessing your information. Edward, if this has all happened because of one of my employees…" She paused before continuing, "I don't even know how to express how sorry I am. I promise that she will be fired if she had anything to do with it." Emily looked like she was close to being in tears. I nodded to her. I knew she wanted nothing more than for Bella to have a healthy pregnancy. This wasn't her fault.

"Emily, I just want to find out who is behind it and the sooner the better. I know you have no fault here. Is it alright with you if Roger further investigates the other person that accessed the information and you talk to your employee?" I asked her.

"Yes, that's fine. Can you just let me know what you find?" She asked him. "I guess I need to update the system security." Her voice was hard and her technician gulped. Roger nodded to Embry and we all stood. Embry put his hand out to shake with Emily.

"We appreciate your assistance with this. We won't take up anymore of your time. If you could please contact me with anything you learn from Miss Mallory, I would appreciate it. If she is not cooperative, perhaps I could get her contact information from you and talk to her myself?" Embry asked her.

"Yes, that's fine. I want this solved as much as you do." She said softly. I thanked her again before the three of us left. I listened to Embry and Roger talking as we walked to the car.

"I don't care what she says, let's get everything we can find on this Mallory girl." Embry said.

"I will get on it." Roger replied. Embry looked at me.

"Well, we have a couple leads now. We will find out who did it." I nodded to him.

"Whatever occurs in what you find, I want you to still get any information you can about Victoria and James." I told him.

"We will. I should have something for you very soon." Embry said.

I drove us back to my place and they left in Embry's car. I went in and found Bella writing at her desk. She looked so determined as she typed away, totally unaware that I was watching her. I hated to interrupt her, but I really wanted to get her out of there. It was a crisp September Saturday, the sun was shining, and she had been cooped up in the apartment all week. I quickly ran upstairs and packed a couple bags, taking a moment to call my father to borrow his yacht. I would have rather sailed, but it was a longer trip I wanted to take that day, and his boat had a bigger motor on it. I let him know that Bella and I would be back in time to meet them at the Bears game Sunday afternoon. I called Emmett and told him of the news we learned from Embry and that I was going to take Bella out of town for the night. I finally called and made a reservation at a resort in New Buffalo, Michigan. It would take a few hours to leisurely travel there by boat and I thought an afternoon on the water would do Bella some good. I couldn't deny that I also needed a bit of a break from the stress of the past week.

I dropped our bags off by the front door and went into the study. She was still working and I smiled, seeing her frown in concentration. Like a stealth ninja, I quietly moved behind her. I was about to put my arms around her, when she called me out.

"You are not nearly as sneaky as you think you are, Edward." I laughed at her assessment of my attempt at surprise. She turned her head and smiled up at me. I couldn't keep myself from putting my arms around her and kissing those perfect lips. I knelt down beside her chair and grabbed her hand.

"Baby, how would you feel about getting out of here for the night? I want to take you away on a short trip. We will be back in time for Em's game tomorrow." Her eyes lit up and I knew she was excited.

"Absolutely! I feel like I haven't been out of this apartment in ages. Where are we going?" She asked. I told her about taking dad's boat out and staying the night in Michigan. She loved the idea and immediately saved her work and closed her laptop.

"I've already packed some bags for us, so just grab your purse and we can take off. I want to try and get there before the sun sets." I told her. She nodded and quickly grabbed her purse and phone and we were off.

On the way to the marina, I filled her in on the information we had from Embry so far, and that hopefully we would have more in a few days. She took it all in and then turned to me.

"Alright. We know we can't do anything more right now. I feel like this is all we have concentrated on since we got back from our honeymoon. Let's just forget about it for a couple days. Is that OK with you?" It was perfectly fine with me. I nodded to her, relieved that she felt the same need for escape that I did. I brought her hand up to kiss.

"I agree completely. Let's enjoy ourselves and not think of it again." I said.

We had a blast taking the boat around the bottom curve of Lake Michigan. I even let Bella take control for a while, since she had never done it before. We arrived at the marina, adjacent to the hotel, right around sunset. The view of the sunset off the water was beautiful; and I loved seeing the color in Bella's rosy cheeks, as she smiled in happiness. We quickly checked in and dropped our bags in our room, before going back out to have dinner near the docks. It was quite the romantic scene, complete with candlelight and soft music, as we had a perfect view of the boats coming in to port after a day on the water.

"Thanks so much for doing this, Edward. I'm so happy we are here. This is perfect." I leaned over and kissed her. It made me happy when she was happy. I probably should take advantage of these spontaneous moments with her as much as possible, because once the baby is born, it will be much more difficult to get away. She suddenly gasped.

"Oh my gosh, I forgot to tell you." She said excitedly. "Emmett is going to propose to Rose tomorrow!" She squealed.

Good for Emmett. It's about time he got a ring on her finger. Although, I guess they can't all move as fast as I did.

"How is he going to do it?" I asked her.

"Well, before the game starts tomorrow, while they are out on the field warming up, he is having a surprise delivery made to the suite for Rose. Alice is in on the plan and I think she has pulled some strings to get the message back to Em with Rose's response. It should be fun." She explained. I shook my head. I imagined this would all be footage on sportscenter before Alice was through with them.

"It should be an interesting family dinner tomorrow night." I said. I noticed Bella's glare at the approaching server, who came to ask if we wanted dessert. I raised my eyebrows at Bella.

Is she upset about something? I grabbed her hand to hold.

"Do you want some dessert, baby?" I asked. She just shook her head and looked down. I turned to the server and asked her for the check.

"What's wrong, Bella?" I asked her when the server left us.

"She has been ogling you all night. I might as well not even be here." I was surprised. I hadn't even noticed the server at all. I chuckled to myself, when I realized Bella was jealous. She needn't worry, because there is no woman in the world that could compare to her. I kissed her hand.

"I didn't even notice her, Bella. In my eyes, there aren't any other women in the room when I am looking at you. There is no comparison." I told her. Her eyes flashed, as I felt her hand grip my thigh under the table.

"I think I need to take you upstairs and remind you that you are mine." I swear my cock practically jumped out of my pants, listening to her fierce voice. I licked my lips and paid the check as fast as possible.

We barely made it to our room before she attacked me. It was similar to her forwardness on the plane to Hawaii and I couldn't have been more pleased. I wasn't sure if it was the pregnancy hormones flowing through her or that she was just more comfortable sexually with me, but I wasn't going to question it. I felt her unbutton my jeans and pull them and my boxers down with one tug. She pushed me down into a chair and knelt in front of me.

Yes! Fuck yes!

Every ounce of blood in my body seemed to go straight to my dick, as I watched her hands come around me and her hot tongue licking up and down my shaft. Those cherry-red lips wrapped around the tip as her tongue swirled, tasting my leaking precum. I was panting as she looked up at me under her lashes, taking me into her mouth. A war was raging in my brain. I wanted to close my eyes and savor the sensations of how good it felt as she bobbed up and down, sucking and licking and moaning. But, I also wanted to keep my eyes open and watch every moment of my perfect wife going down on me. I groaned as my cock kept hitting the back of her throat. Then she shocked the hell out of me when I felt her hand leave the base of my cock and grab my hand, which had been gripping the chair, placing it on the back of her head and then repeating the process on the other side. Shit! She wants me to fuck her mouth. My fingers dove into her hair and I gently maneuvered her head to take me in, as I lightly thrusted my hips. If possible, my dick got even harder; my eyes watching as I moved myself in and out of her mouth. One of her hands reached around to clutch my ass, urging me to go deeper. I increased the speed of my thrusts and was close to exploding, as she hummed around me.

"Baby, I'm going to come." I gasped out and she gripped my ass tighter. I pushed myself in as deep as I could and let go. I came so hard that it felt like I shot a gallon of my load down her throat. My grip on her hair loosened as my orgasm receded and I felt her still lapping my softening dick.

"That was the most amazing blowjob in history." I told her, pulling her up and kissing her hard. She smiled smugly as my hands moved to undress her. I wanted my mouth on her pussy immediately. I put my arms around her naked body and walked her over to the bed, laying her down in the middle and spreading her legs wide open for me. She was already soaked. Damn, that turned me on. I leaned over her, rubbing her clit with my thumb.

"Did you get all wet from my cock in your mouth?" I asked in her ear.

"Yes." She breathed out. Fuck, she was so sexy. I kissed and sucked my way down to her slick center. I tossed her leg over my shoulder and dove in, enjoying the taste of my angel. I knew exactly what she liked and what would send her over the edge. I would lick, nip, and flick until she was so close and then pull back again, easing to gentle strokes of my fingers and tongue. Her moans got increasingly louder, the longer I teased. "Please, Edward." I couldn't help but smile at her pleading voice.

"Did you need something, baby?" She just moaned. I wouldn't tease her much longer. "Do you want to come, Bella?"

"Yes!" She practically growled, her hands gripped in my hair. My fingers pushed inside her, as I sucked her clit; and I felt her clamp down on me, screaming my name. I was hard again, hearing the satisfaction I brought her. I moved up her body so I could plunge inside her before she came down completely. I knew I could make her climax again while she was still sensitive from her first. She is so tight and wet. I grunted as I pumped into her, rubbing her clit until I heard her cry out again and come around me. I was a goner soon after, and collapsed next to her, spent from the long day and our lovemaking. I pulled her to me and hugged her tight.

"I love you so much, Bella." I smiled, hearing her sigh of content.

"I love you too, Edward." With those most important words ringing in my ears, I fell into a restful sleep.

BPOV

The spontaneous overnight trip was just what I needed. I was starting to feel claustrophobic in the apartment. It wasn't like I couldn't go out at all; I just hated being a burden and having to have someone babysit me out in public, like I was a child. I actually got a lot of work done on the novel. At the rate I was going, I may have it finished before Christmas.

Maybe I could give a copy to Esme as a present?

I smiled as the wind whipped through my hair. Edward and I were on our way back to Chicago and the boat was flying through the water. The night before had been so romantic. Watching the sunset on the water and eating dinner by candlelight; it almost felt like we were back on our honeymoon again. Plus, there was the fuckhot sex. It was quite clear to me that I had married a bonafide sex god.

My hoohah was in complete agreement.

I was glad that Edward was able to put the package/threat/Embry/Harry fiasco away for a couple days and just enjoy himself. All I wanted was to be able to enjoy our time together without the nagging worry that had been hanging over us the last week. I felt better when Edward told me that Embry had a couple leads from investigating Dr. Young's computer system. I didn't know what kind of a sick person hacks into a computer to get information about a pregnancy to threaten another, but I knew they would eventually get their comeuppance. I let all the worry and new information stay locked in a back compartment of my mind and allowed myself to have a good time.

As soon as we docked in Chicago, we changed into our jerseys and sped off to the stadium. I wanted to be there when Rose's surprise proposal happened. We were the last of the family to arrive in the suite and we got there just in time. I saw the players were down on the field warming up. The hugs of greeting were flowing around as we heard a throat clear in the doorway. There was a gentleman there with a large bouquet of red roses and a box.

"I have a delivery for a Miss Rosalie Hale." He said. I bit my lip to keep from smiling and giving anything away. Rose went over and grabbed the items from him. I saw Carlisle slip over and hand the guy a tip and send him on his way. Rose looked perplexed as she placed the flowers and box on a counter. When she opened the box, she started crying.

"Oh my God!" She squeaked. She showed all of us what was inside the box. I let out a chuckle seeing the cake in the shape of a football, with "Will you marry me, Rose?" written in icing on the top. The engagement ring was sitting, diamond up, right on the football laces. She picked up the ring, licked off the icing, and started jumping up and down after putting it on her finger. I was suddenly crushed in a hug and I couldn't have been happier for my Rose.

"I hope that means you are saying yes." I laughed and I joined her with tears in my eyes. "Now, we are officially going to be sisters." I told her. Alice finally got her attention and said that Emmett was waiting for a response.

"What do you mean?" Rose asked. Alice pulled out a huge white sheet, with 'YES!' written in big block letters on it. They ran over to open the windows out to overlook the field and Alice made some motion to Jasper. I watched Jasper get on his phone, knowing something had been coordinated. Alice and Rose leaned over the balcony edge and hung the sheet up. The letters on the sheet were so big, they were likely visible from the moon. I watched the big screens around the stadium light up with the words 'Emmett, she said yes!' and then the screens switched to show Emmett's smiling face as his teammates congratulated him. Edward came up behind me, hugging me close to him, as we watched this all unfold. It was the perfect proposal for Rose and Em. I grinned as I saw Esme bouncing around next to Carlisle. She was such a romantic soul.

Things finally calmed down inside the suite and we watched the Bears beat the Atlanta Falcons. Emmett played a great game, protecting Cutler and creating running lanes. We watched the TV broadcast and the FOX announcers would keep going back to show the footage of Emmett's reaction to Rose's accepting his proposal. Each time it played, Rose squealed. It seemed the cameras had also caught Rose as she leaned over the balcony waving at Em from afar and blowing him a kiss. I needed to get Alice a gift for once again helping set up the perfect romantic setting.

After the game, the family met for dinner at Carlisle and Esme's house. I was surprised that no questions had been lobbied at me at all that day regarding news of the investigation. I wondered if Edward had told everyone to leave it alone. I joined Esme in the kitchen and helped get dinner together. She had already premade lasagnas, so we put them in the oven while I buttered French bread loaves and she made up salad. Katherine and Elizabeth wandered in and sat at the island, drinking glasses of wine and conversing with us. Esme came over and rubbed my belly with a smile.

"Bella, you sit down here too. I don't want you running yourself ragged." She was absolutely the sweetest woman alive. I took a sip of my fruit drink, courtesy of Alice, and chatted with the ladies. They thanked me for the ultrasound pictures and we talked about the birth date.

"I was in my third trimester in the middle of the summer, when I had Carlisle. Be thankful you won't have to deal with the sweltering heat." Katherine told me. Elizabeth hugged Esme to her.

"Yes, this one here came in October, so I know all about carrying during those summer months. That was back in the days without great air conditioning, too." Elizabeth said and they laughed. Esme beamed at me.

I heard Rose and Emmett walk in, greeted by loud congratulations all around. I smiled and was so happy Rose was getting her well-deserved attention. Rose and Alice then came busting into the kitchen together and everyone cooed at her ring again. I was listening to them all talk about wedding plans for Rose and noticed Edward walk in to grab a few beers out of the fridge. He glanced over at me and winked. He was just so handsome, that I couldn't help my body's reaction every time I saw him. My heart raced, my face blushed, and my girly parts tingled. I bit my lip, trying to calm myself down. As he was walking by us, he stopped behind me and whispered in my ear.

"When you bite your lip like that, it makes me want to drag you into the next room." I was happy that I was able to contain the moan that wanted to be released. I watched him walk away grinning, taking the beers in to the guys. Alice was shaking her head at me and smirking, when I turned back around to the ladies. I tried to clear the Edward sex god haze from my head, and started listening to the conversation surrounding me.

"Yes, we were at the Nestler benefit last night and there were the most awful rumors floating around about Kristina Hamilton and Caroline Montgomery. Alice, you may know them, they are about your age." Katherine said, looking at Alice. Alice nodded.

"Yeah, I know them." She said. "What were the rumors?"

"Well, apparently they have both been pretty much disowned by their families. Kristina was caught having an affair with one of her father's partners. The man's wife actually walked in on them in the act, because someone called her and told her what was going on. The wife is also a lifelong friend of Kristina's mother." I watched Alice's stoic face take in the news. "Then Caroline was pulled over for speeding and the police found a mess of drugs in her car. She is facing jail time. Of course, these were just the rumors going around. Neither of their families were there last night, so I assume some kind of damage control was happening behind the scenes." I smiled, listening to Katherine's gossiping. Esme huffed and I looked over at her angry face.

"Not enough punishment for those two…yet." She said. My eyes widened as I realized who they were talking about. Katherine and Elizabeth both looked at Esme curiously and Alice was grinning.

"What do you mean?" Elizabeth asked. Alice looked at me.

"Can I tell them about the vapid bitches?" She asked. I nodded, stunned at the news that some payback had been delivered to those ugly women. Alice went on to tell her grandmothers about what they had done to me in the clothing store. The vengeful words being tossed around afterward by all of them made me very glad they were on my side. I would hate to be someone that ever crossed this group. I began to wonder how much Alice and Esme had to do with the current scandals surrounding the two women.

About that time, the lasagnas were done and we all gathered in the dining room. It was nice sitting around with the family. Everyone was having a great time, especially Emmett, who was always hyperactive after a win. That was only compounded by his engagement to Rose. I really wanted to join in with everyone, but I was feeling extremely nauseous. Edward was rubbing my hand under the table, noticing I wasn't eating.

"Baby, are you not feeling well? Do you want me to take you to the couch?" He leaned over and asked in my ear. I knew I was ill when his whispered words didn't get me worked up. I shook my head and grit my teeth, not wanting to ruin a family dinner, especially on Rose's night. I looked at my lap, trying to control my breathing, begging my body to keep the food down. I held it as long as possible, before I had to scoot my chair back and run to the bathroom. I barely made it. Soon after, I felt Edward behind me, rubbing my back and holding my hair as I hugged the toilet. I was crying as I flushed the toilet weakly, slumping on the floor.

"Edward, go back in there with your family. I don't want to ruin everyone's night." I bawled out. He pulled me on his lap, sitting with me on the floor, still rubbing my back.

"Bella, you aren't ruining anybody's night. Don't be silly." He said, making me cry harder for some reason. I heard Esme knock on the door and Edward tell her to come in. I felt her wiping my face with cool water.

"I'm sorry, Esme. I'm fine. Edward called me silly. You can go back to dinner." I sobbed. I didn't really know what was wrong with me, only that something was wrong. I looked up at Esme, who had started laughing a little.

"Sweetheart, you are fine. Believe me, we all go through this. It's just the hormones. You aren't ruining anything. Come on, let's get you up and I will get some ginger ale for you." She pulled me to my feet and I washed my mouth and face. I watched her slap Edward across the arm lightly.

"Hey! What's that for?" He asked.

"Don't call her silly!" Esme retorted. That scene actually had me laughing a little. She smiled at me and grabbed my arm, taking me to sit down away from the food odors.

We didn't stay much longer, Edward wanting to put me to bed after the long day and my nauseous stomach. I said goodbye to everyone, being sure to congratulate Rose and Em again. Katherine and Elizabeth hugged me with understanding and I'm pretty sure I overheard Edward's grandfathers mentioning something about mood swings when they were waving him off sympathetically. I narrowed my eyes at Edward when he put me in the car and got in to drive.

"So, you think I have mood swings?" I asked. He looked over at me with wide eyes, gulping as if he didn't know the right answer.

"Uh, do you think you have mood swings?" He asked me back. Now he was just being ridiculous. I crossed my arms over my chest and looked out my window. I felt his hand rubbing my arm and I pulled away.

"I'm sorry, baby. I think you are perfect. You know that." He said. I almost forgave him.

He's definitely not getting sex tonight. My inner good girl was great at doling out punishment.

Bitch, please. My inner bad girl didn't seem to think the punishment fit the crime. Or, she was just horny.

I had mostly forgotten why I was mad in the first place by the time we got home and Edward plied me with a plate of ginger snap cookies and a cup of tea. After I showered and brushed my teeth, even inner good girl was ready to snuggle up with our beautiful man. I fell asleep to gentle kisses and soothing humming from my Edward.

AN2: So, Lauren Mallory has popped up. Does she have anything to do with the package? What about the unidentified person that accessed their info? Were you happy for Rose and Emmett? What did you think of the clothing store bitches? Anybody feeling sorry for poor Edward dealing with a moody Bella?
