AN: Thank you for all the great reviews in the last week. I can't believe this story is nearing 600! It's very exciting and heart-warming to read all your thoughts and questions. This chapter will involve some changing of minds and changing of bodies. Keep your fingers crossed for poor Edward dealing with Bella's mood swings!

Thanks to my pre-reader Bridgette (aka A Jasper For Me) and beta Jen (aka anonymouslysufferingfromOCD). Also, thanks to all the great writers that I WCed with this week.

BPOV

I woke up the next morning, wishing Edward was beside me. I hated how early he had to be at the hospital and I couldn't wait until he could set his own hours. I eventually quit pouting and got myself into the shower. My morning sickness had subsided somewhat in the past week and I couldn't be more thankful. However, now I was hungry all the time. I think I may have left some conditioner in my hair in my haste to get myself fed.

As I made myself scrambled eggs and sliced fruit, my mind wandered to Alice's birthday. It was coming up in a few days and Jasper had already rented the establishment for the celebration. I couldn't help but chuckle knowing we were going bowling for the night. Apparently, Alice wanted to partake in activities she had never enjoyed as a teenager. Jasper had rented out part of a local bowling alley and the whole family was going to be there. I winced remembering my previous bowling experience. I had only tried it once before and my clumsiness had resulted in a ball dropped on my foot and two broken toes.

Maybe Edward can stand behind me and help with my posture?

Inner bad girl liked this idea immensely. Just the thought of Edward pressed against me made me moan out loud. I was glad there were no witnesses in my empty kitchen. I took my breakfast into the office, eating at my desk as I checked email and looked over the progress of my most recent chapter. It was no coincidence that the main male character had so many similarities to my husband. I couldn't think of a more romantic or perfect man from which to draw inspiration. I continued reading and nibbling, changing words around as I went along. The novel took over after a while and I went into a zone where I didn't realize how much time had elapsed. I was thoroughly engrossed in my writing until my concentration was snapped by the phone.

Edward.

He promised to call as soon as he heard anything from our realtor. I answered eagerly, in hopeful anticipation that we had some good news to celebrate.

"Hi." I called out as soon as I connected.

"Hey, Baby." My insides melted.

"How is work?" I wished he was there with me.

"Slow. I have finished all my charts already. I could probably take off, but I don't want to rock the boat too much since I won't be here much longer." Did that mean what I thought it meant? I squealed and he laughed.

"Tell me! Did they accept the offer?" I bounced around in my seat, waiting for him to talk.

"How bad do you want to know?" I'm pretty sure I growled.

"Edward!"

"You know I love when you scream my name." My girly parts started tingling when he used his seductive voice. I kicked inner bad girl for panting.

"I hope you aren't around any patients." He laughed.

"No, just me. Sitting here alone. In this empty on-call room. Wishing you were lying on this bed." His distractions were starting to work. My fuzzy brain forgot what I had been asking about moments before. I licked my lips.

"What would you do if I were on that bed?" I smiled when I heard his breathing deepen. He hummed a little.

"That depends. What are you wearing?" I looked down at my sweatpants and t-shirt. These certainly wouldn't do. I closed my eyes and imagined something sexy, wanting to turn Edward on.

"Well, I am in a long coat, tall boots, and…..nothing else." He groaned and the sound sent a jolt through me.

"You are wearing a coat with nothing underneath?" I bit my lip and nodded. Maybe we should be on skype?

"Yes. Are you wearing scrubs?" He knew how it turned me on when he wore scrubs. Maybe he has his glasses on, too?

"Yes. I don't have anything on underneath either." I moaned.

"Do you want me to take off the coat?" I tried to sound seductive. My voice sounded more like a croak to me, but Edward seemed to like it.

"Oh, yes." There was just a hint of desperation in his voice.

"It's off. I only have my boots on now. Do you want me to take those off?" I could just imagine the way his eyes darkened.

"No." His declaration came out as a growl.

"Do you think I look good on the bed, wearing only my knee-high boots?" I asked innocently.

"Fuck, yes." His breathing was even harsher and I wondered if he was touching himself.

"What happens then?" I felt my own breathing stutter.

"I watch you spread your legs open in front of me and touch yourself." Mmmm. I started acting out his words, slipping my hand in my panties.

"Are you touching yourself, Edward? Does watching me turn you on?" It turns me on to watch him.

"Yes, my cock is so hard right now. I want my tongue inside your pussy instead of your fingers." Edward's tongue was magical. I wanted it right then.

"Do I taste good? I love your tongue on me. I love your tongue in me." My fingers were wet from my excitement and slid easily over my throbbing clit.

"Fuck, Bella. You taste so fucking good. I would keep my tongue buried in your pussy all day long if you would let me." Gah!

"But, I love your cock inside me too. Do you want to fuck me, Edward?" He moaned loudly into the phone. I knew that moan. I knew he was close.

"Yes, I want to fuck you. I want to fuck you so hard you can't remember your name. I'm fucking you so deep right now. I'm holding your thighs back and those boots are bouncing in the air every time I drive into you." I could see it happening in my mind. His words were so close to setting me off.

"Harder, Edward. Fuck me hard." My fingers rubbed over my clit vigorously and I exploded, crying out my high as the phone dropped to the floor. I couldn't believe how amazing that had been. I had never come like that from my own fingers before. I finally regained my senses and picked up the phone again.

"Edward?" I asked breathlessly.

"Yeah, baby?" His relaxed voice assured me he had reached his climax also.

"That was…" I didn't have the words

"Awesome." He finished for me.

"Yes, that's one way to describe it." We both chuckled. I heard his pager going off.

"Shit." Well, no more time for fun, sexy talk.

"Do you have to go?" I didn't want to keep him if there was an emergency.

"Yes, I'm sorry baby." I wanted to chuckle. Silly man.

"That's alright, Edward. You are at work after all." He laughed.

"I will be home around six." I loved when he came through the front door.

"I will be waiting." Maybe I will be waiting naked.

"I love you." Sometimes, it was hard to comprehend why this perfect man loved me. But, I was so glad he did.

"I love you, too." There weren't enough words to tell him how much I loved him.

"Oh, and Bella?" He asked suddenly.

"Yes?" What else did my beautiful man have up his sleeve?

"We got the house; they agreed to our offer." I screamed, remembering the reason for the call in the first place, and started dancing around in joy. I heard Edward's laughter through the phone. We got the house that we loved. Just as long as all the inspections went well.

"I'm so happy, Edward." As if he couldn't tell from my screaming.

"I'm glad, baby. I really do have to go. We will talk more about it tonight, OK?" I wondered how soon we could get the inspections done.

"Yes. I love you. Goodbye." My mind was moving to images of each of the rooms of the new house and how I wanted to set it up.

"Goodbye, angel." I smiled. I loved when he called me angel.

After ending the call, I went upstairs and cleaned myself up. I called up Rose and asked if she wanted to go shopping. She never turned down a shopping trip and happily agreed. It was fortunate that she still needed to get a gift for Alice, too. We ended up spending the afternoon buying Alice birthday presents and I just happened to pick myself out a nice pair of knee-high boots. I wouldn't tell Rose why I had a silly grin plastered on my face.

When Edward and I sat down for dinner that evening, we talked about the rest of the process before the home would become ours. It had been agreed on that our offer contract would only be binding if two separate inspections passed to our approval. The inspectors were chosen by us and our realtor because we were planning to purchase the home outright, instead of dealing with the hassle of a mortgage and lender when there was no need. Edward told me he had already alerted our financial lawyer and advisor that funds would need to be made available for the home purchase if the inspections went through successfully. The first inspection was going to be on Wednesday and the second on Friday. We would know by Friday evening if we had our new home. Later that night, I had so much fun lying next to Edward, talking about how we wanted our house to look. I knew it wasn't technically ours at that point, but it felt like it was so close.

On Wednesday, when Esme and I went on our weekly lunch and trip to the hospital, I wanted to surprise my beautiful man by wearing my long coat and brand new boots. Even though I was wearing an outfit underneath, I knew Edward's eyes would pop out the moment he saw me arrive. I couldn't stop the random giggling that erupted during lunch, and Esme's knowing glances made me think she knew I was up to something. She and I discussed everything about the decorating and design of the new house as we ate lunch and on our way to the hospital. I loved having Esme's opinions to help Edward and I set up a perfect home for our growing family.

As soon as we got off the elevator on Edward's floor of the hospital, I saw him standing near the nurse's desk with his back turned to us. His long white coat fit snuggly across his broad shoulders and I was already practically panting. How could his covered back make me so hot? I shook my head at myself. He must have sensed us near, because he turned around with a smile on his face. That expression changed to shock when he took in my outfit. I watched his eyes travel from my head to my feet and back up again as his jaw practically hit the floor. I bit my lip to keep myself from laughing. His darkened eyes never left mine as he stalked over to us.

"Good afternoon, Edward." Esme said to him. I watched him glance at his mom briefly and clear his throat.

"Hi, mom. Do you mind going ahead in with the kids? I need to talk to Bella for a minute." His eyes were piercing mine again and my breath hitched. Esme just chuckled and shook her head.

"I'll be fine. You two go talk. Bella, just meet me in there when you are done." The smirk on her face should have embarrassed me, but my body was tingling with anticipation instead. I was sure that she and Carlisle had more than a few scandalous hospital trysts in all the days of their long marriage. Edward didn't even wait for a response before he pulled my arm to walk with him. He got us into the elevator and onto another floor immediately. No words were spoken until he and I entered a small room, complete with desk and a small bed. I turned around to face him when I heard the click of the lock on the door.

"You are a very naughty girl, Bella." The tingly in my body only increased when he called me naughty. Edward wasted no time getting his hands on me. Even though he found me in clothes underneath the coat, he was excited at the boots and short skirt with no panties underneath. We made entirely too much noise, but it felt so good that I didn't care if anyone else heard. Edward assured me that no patients were around this area and that any doctors passing by would never say a word. I was back by Esme's side fifteen minutes later, flushed but happy.

That evening brought both good news and bad news. We got the report from our first inspection and the house passed with flying colors. There was no reason to think the second inspection wouldn't produce the exact same news. We could be signing the closing documents the next week. The bad news came when Marcus Volturi called us. Edward put him on speakerphone so he could address us both at the same time.

"Edward and Bella, I'm sorry to say that a grand jury has heard the arguments for prosecution of the former DA and the indictments have been issued. There will be a trial in a month and the evidence I have been informed of makes me believe he will be found guilty. That means that it is probable the confession of James Monroe and the sentence set forth from it will be nullified." It all sounded like confusing legal jargon to me and I just wanted him to spell it out. I needed a law for dummies book.

"What is the bottom line?" Edward asked him, holding my hand in his.

"Monroe won't be released from prison before a charge of murder is placed on him again. But, it will mean that there will be a trial. Due to circumstances and his lawyer arguing false imprisonment, they will make it high priority to try it as soon as possible. Basically, I am thinking that a trial for the murder of Chief Swan by James Monroe will be held in about three or four months." I shivered, thinking about having to go to Washington.

"But, you are going to get Bella out of testifying in court?" Edward asked.

"I will do everything I can. I will keep you informed of anything I learn from this point. You should expect to hear from me in a few weeks at the latest, when we find out what happens with the trial of the former DA." Marcus sounded apologetic.

"Thank you, Marcus." I said. I was scared, but I appreciated him trying to get me out of it. I heard Marcus and Edward exchanging words a few more times before the call ended, but my mind was whirling with thoughts of a trial. As Edward and I held each other in bed that night, I couldn't help but voice my concern.

"Edward?" I brushed a piece of hair from his face as he opened his eyes to look at me.

"Yes, baby?" His tired voice made me want to delay this conversation. I didn't need to lay anymore drama on him that night, when he had to get up so early in the morning. I decided to wait.

"Nothing. I love you." I leaned in to give him a gentle kiss as he told me he loved me too. He wrapped his arms around me, snuggling in close; and I smiled, hearing his deep, sleeping breaths soon after.

The next morning I woke up with a splitting headache. I was in enough pain that I actually called Edward to make sure anything I took wouldn't harm our babies. Edward told me it was fine to take a couple Tylenol. The pills helped take the edge off the pain, but didn't improve the foul mood I was in all day. It did not bode well for Alice's birthday bowling bash that evening.

I spent the day filling Alice's kindle I bought her with a ton of new books, some favorite novels of mine, and also a few naughty selections I thought she would like. I wanted something just from me, to thank her for all her help. I knew that Edward had gotten her a spa trip from the both of us. After I had wrapped the gifts, I proceeded to scrub down the kitchen. I went over it twice, not being able to get it clean enough. After two broken nails, I gave up and decided to start getting ready. Edward was supposed to pick me up as soon as he got off work so that we could go to the bowling alley. When I stubbed my toe on an end table as I moved to the stairs, I sat down and burst into tears. I heard the phone ringing, but I ignored it so that I could wallow on the couch. I wasn't really sure why I was upset, but the tears flowed freely.

Eventually, I grew tired of my sobbing and got myself together enough to get upstairs and into the shower. At least the water helped to soothe my psyche. I rubbed over my protruding bump lovingly, while washing myself down with sweet-smelling soap. I almost felt normal when I put on my bra and underwear, before drying my hair and brushing my teeth. That all went to hell when I entered the closet, looking for something to wear that evening. Bowling meant casual; however every single piece of clothing I owned wasn't fitting me right.

I was fat.

I was ugly.

I was angry.

EPOV

I hurried out of the hospital on Thursday, eager to get Bella and go have a night of fun with the family for Alice's birthday. As soon as I walked in the door, I heard a screech coming from upstairs and my mind immediately went into panic mode. Bella. I ran the stairs two at a time and burst into our bedroom. My eyes scanned the room, finding nothing. From the corner of my eye, I saw a pair of jeans flying through the air from inside the walk-in closet. What the hell?

I heard another screech and another piece of clothing taking flight. Hmmm. At least Bella isn't being attacked. It's more like she is on the attack. I approached slowly, knowing any sudden moves may attract the attention of the predator. I had learned that my Bella's mood swings could be highly detrimental to her prey. That meant me at the moment. I cringed, just thinking about the toilet seat incident. I briefly considered abandoning ship and turning around, but decided the brave thing to do was see if I could help ease her distress. What I needed here was a calming environment. Where the hell is that sound machine featuring the sounds of ocean waves or crickets?

"Baby?" I called out softly and in a calm tone. I heard a grunt and something being kicked. My hand reflexively moved to cover my balls. I inched along the wall, not daring to put myself directly in the line of fire. Maybe I should have brought some chocolate? I shook my head at myself.

You outweigh her by at least sixty pounds. Quit being a pansy and get in there.

I straightened my shoulders and took a deep breath before turning my head to peek into the closet. My mouth gaped at the destruction zone. It was a sea of clothes everywhere, except on the hangars. Before I could think of what to say, I was hit with a direct shot. I didn't even see the shoe coming my way before it struck the middle of my forehead. I fell to the floor in a thud, seeing stars. And not the good kind of stars, like after a fuckawesome orgasm. These stars were the ones in the Looney Toons episodes after some character was hit over the head with a sledgehammer.

"Edward, is that you?" I heard the devilwoman's voice coming close, yet I couldn't get my body to obey my mind's request to escape immediately. Bella came into view, wearing only panties and a bra. Normally, that would make me hot, but a scowl was all I could conjure. Her curious look at me on the floor was replaced with concern when she saw the shoe lying beside me and its imprint forming on my forehead.

"Oh, Edward. I'm so sorry. Did that hit you, sweetheart?" She straddled my lap, immediately stroking my forehead with her fingers. She pulled me into a hug, burying my face right in her cleavage as she crooned and tried to soothe me, her hands running through my hair and rubbing my back.

Well, maybe this isn't too bad.

My cock was stirring from having Bella practically naked and rubbing me down, but we didn't have any time for the debauchery I wanted. It was difficult to concentrate though, with my nose buried between her soft breasts. She smelled so good. My hands moved to squeeze her ass, pressing her into me. I took a deep breath, trying to keep myself from taking her right there on the floor.

"Baby, we have to go." I said. I just hoped my almost severe head injury had made her forget the obvious frustration she was in when I walked in.

"I don't have anything to wear. I'm too fat." I raised my head up to look at her incredulously. She was anything but fat. Yet, I knew this was a dangerous minefield I was entering. I had to proceed very carefully.

"Bella, you are gorgeous." My hand rubbed her beautiful bump holding our babies. I thought she got prettier every single day. She just scoffed.

"Edward, I'm disgusting and it is only going to get worse. You won't be able to look at me when I have a basketball-sized belly." She started to try and stand up and I grabbed her waist, pulling her back down tight to me. My hands moved down to her hips and rocked her over my hard cock, thrusting into her to make sure she felt how excited she made me.

"Do you feel how much I want you?" I growled, looking into her eyes. She bit her lip and I knew she felt my desire. "Bella, I think you are the sexiest woman on the planet." I leaned in close so our noses were almost touching. "Your body changing because of carrying our children makes me want you even more. Do you believe me when I say I want you?" She shrugged her shoulders and I looked on in disbelief.

"You have to want me, I'm your wife." I chuckled at her reasoning. There were plenty of married couples that didn't want each other.

"Bella, surely by now you know how attracted I am to you. I don't even see anybody else because all I want to see is you." I saw her eyes as she started to realize how absurd she was being. But, I decided that I needed to fuck some sense into her. My cock sighed in relief. We were just going to be a little late to Alice's party. I kissed her hard as my fingers unbuttoned my pants and lowered them enough to release me. She moaned into my mouth as I stroked her, feeling her wet for me. I grabbed her ass again, lifting her up enough to slide her panties to the side and guide her down on my cock. It didn't matter that we were still on the floor. I wasn't waiting any longer.

"Fuck." She felt so good around me as she sank down and I filled her up. I grabbed her hips and moved her up and down my shaft before she started riding me on her own. "Baby, you are so fucking sexy riding my cock." I couldn't take my eyes off her breasts which were bouncing in my face. I found the clasp of her bra and released them so my mouth could taste her sweet skin. I sucked on one breast and then the other, biting gently on her hard nipples.

I finally looked up, watching as her head was tilted back and her eyes closed, moaning each time my cock hit her deep when she came down. I wished she could see what I did. There was nobody sexier than she was. I felt the tightening in my groin and thrusted up into her each time she came down, loving when her cries got louder. I brought my knees up behind her and leaned back on one hand, watching her hot body rising and falling. My other hand moved to lay over her baby bump while my thumb started rubbing her clit.

"Ungh…oh…oh," she cried out, getting very close. She then went rigid, crying out a final time and I thrusted into her hard joining her with my own orgasm. I reached out to hug her to me, pressing her chest tightly to mine, while I kissed her deeply. I kept kissing her until I saw a smile on her lips.

"I love you, my sexy, gorgeous, beautiful, wonderful wife." I watched her eyes open and look into mine.

"I love you, too." Her soft words were music to my ears.

Eventually, we got ourselves up off the floor and I helped Bella find some pants that she said she didn't feel horrendous wearing. I made a mental note to ask Alice to take her shopping as soon as possible for some maternity wear that made her feel good. I hated that my Bella ever had any doubts about her beauty.

When we finally got to the bowling alley, the rest of the family was there waiting for us. Luckily they didn't demand explanations even though Bella and I both apologized for being late. Jasper did take the opportunity to ask about the red bump on my forehead. He just laughed when I told him to mind his own business. I hoped Alice's aim was as good as Bella's. The night ended up being a lot of fun, although I was leery of the rented shoes I had to wear. Bella sought my assistance when her turn came up and I was very happy to oblige, molding myself to her from behind. I may have pressed into her a little more than necessary, but her giggles assured me she liked my perversion.

I took time to speak with my father on the side, letting him know about what was going on in Washington with Monroe's case. Emmett and I had talked earlier that day about the chances of a trial and he was willing to fly out there and testify, if necessary. He wanted to keep James locked up at all costs. I couldn't agree more, although I didn't want Bella to be questioned if we could avoid it.

There was also plenty of conversation regarding our new home. Bella and I were both ecstatic that the first inspection went so well and were eager to hear from the second inspector the next day. I heard my mom and Alice discussing furniture options. I smiled, wanting Bella to have free reign to make this into her dream home.

We all took a break from bowling and had greasy pizza for dinner. I shook my head at Alice's happiness regarding Jasper's choice of birthday celebration venues. She had never been into bowling before, however she seemed to be enjoying herself. It is hard to fathom the inner workings of the pregnant female mind. I had to admit, it was fun having a playful night out with everyone. Alice squealed over all her gifts and Bella smiled at me in surprise when she realized that the gift from us was not only for Alice, but for all the ladies in the family to go on a weekend spa trip. Alice was already eagerly planning the outing to happen soon.

After several hours of laughing over Bella's gutter balls and Emmett's antics every time he threw a strike, we all called it a night. As Bella and I got into bed, I pulled her close to me. I loved the way my body fit perfectly around hers while we slept. I sighed into her hair and smiled.

"Edward?" I heard her say softly. I hummed in response. "I want to tell you something."

"What's that, baby?" I had no idea what she was going to say, but my body braced slightly from her hesitant tone.

"If it comes down to helping put James away for good and getting justice for my father, I have changed my mind." My heart clenched, anticipating her next words. "I've decided that I do want to testify."

My body froze as her words sunk in.

She wants to face James.

AN2: Like the phone sex? Anybody want to bring an icepack over for Edward's head? Are you excited that Bella and Edward could be getting their new home soon? Are Bella's pregnancy hormones out of control? What do you think of her changing her mind in regards to possibly testifying?
