Chapter 32

EPOV

The next week flew by with Cheyenne trying with everything she had to befriend my Bella but she wasn't having any of it. We had had multiple arguments with our friends and family about the sleeping arrangements for the eve of our wedding but we had put our foot down and said we weren't separating in any form or fashion. We had also argued with them about having bachelor/bachelorette parties but we had both said we didn't want either of those but we would settle for a family dinner the night before. They had given in on all accounts because we weren't budging at all. We knew what we wanted and weren't giving an inch to make this anything other than what we wanted.

Before I knew it, my Bella and I were pulling up in front of the Tybee lighthouse with our entire family following in separate vehicles. We were all casually dressed yet looked amazing according to Alice. All of the guys, including Gavyn, was wearing blue jeans with a white button up shirt untucked and the sleeves rolled up to our elbows. All of the women were wearing similar dresses, except Bella's was white and the others were blue include Blakely's.

"You ready to do this?" Bella asked as she pulled our marriage license from the glove box that we had to have the preacher sign after performing the simple ceremony.

I nodded eagerly as I pulled our rings from the middle console taking them out of the box. Mine was a simple white gold ring with a row of diamonds running in the middle all the way around the ring. Bella's was absolutely gorgeous. She had fought me on it initially but I had begged her to let me buy it for her, she had wanted to get something to match the engagement ring but we couldn't find anything we liked. I eventually talked her into letting me buy her an entire new bridal set so she had picked out this one. It had a solitary diamond on top but had a solid band of diamonds that ran all the way around both the wedding band and the engagement ring that came with the bridal set. They were gorgeous and matched my girl perfectly because they weren't big and gaudy like she had complained most of the rings were. "Absolutely. Are you?" I asked her as I handed her my ring to hold on to as I slipped hers onto my pinky finger until I could slide them onto her finger.

She nodded eagerly as we watched our entire family pull up around us. Gerald had taken off work for a few days to make it and he had rode with Carlisle and Esme since he was staying at their house while he was in town because we honestly didn't have room in our house. Thankfully he had left the girls' mother in New York City. Bella had shocked me when Dr. Alvarez had congratulated us this morning through Skype, apparently she had kept in contact with my old therapist from Boston and had been sending him pictures of Gavyn and me also. "Absolutely." She said as we climbed from the car, her reaching into the backseat to pull Gavyn from his car seat.

The ceremony was simple and beautiful as we exchanged our vows as the sun dipped below the horizon. It was us in a nutshell.

"Are we still all going to dinner?" Gerald asked as we walked out of the lighthouse after the ceremony.

I nodded as I held Bella's hand in mine. "Yes sir, we are all going to the Crab Shack." I told him as Bella went to strap Gavyn into his car seat.

"Okay, son, I will see you three there. Congratulations." Gerald said as he headed for Esme and Carlisle's BMW.

We had a great time at dinner as we all told stories of each other over the year and enjoyed our dinner.

Despite everybody offering to babysit Gavyn so we could have some semblance of a honeymoon, we declined each and every one of them because we had just left him last weekend and didn't want to do it again any time soon. Plus, he was sleeping through the nights now so he wasn't any problem unless he was sick or just not feeling good. Instead, Alice, Rose, Jasper, Emmett, and Blakely had given us the house to ourselves for the weekend while they all flew back to Chicago with our dad. We had decided that we would take a family vacation next summer and count that as our honeymoon.

"You ready for bed, Mrs. Masen?" I asked Bella as she laid Gavyn down in his crib after his exhausting evening.

She smiled wickedly over her shoulder at me and nodded. "I don't know how much sleep we are going to get tonight, Mr. Masen."

I groaned and reached down to scoop her up into my arms and carry her across the hall to our bedroom.

The next few weeks flew by and before we knew it, Halloween was upon us and Cheyenne was inviting us to another party.

"It will be so much fun and it is being held at that old barn that is said to be haunted. We are having a couple's costume competition and everything." Cheyenne said as she bounced in her seat in front of us in Algebra.

I shrugged my shoulders as I looked to Bella to see what she wanted to do. "It sounds like fun and it will allow Alice some practice for her fashion design class." She said as she doodled in her notebook aimlessly.

I nodded as I looked down the table towards Emmett who was texting on his phone to who I assumed was Rose asking her opinion. "Emmett?" I called his name.

He held up a finger just as his phone vibrated to an incoming text message. "Rosie says she's game but she's not staying out all night because Blakely has been cranky lately for some unknown reason." He said as he showed us a picture of what looked like a screaming Blakely causing me to cringe because I remembered when Gavyn was coming home with us and would scream for no apparent reason other than to hear himself.

I nodded as I turned back to face Cheyenne. "Sounds like we are game. Do you have a flyer?" I asked her just as the teacher entered the room.

She beamed as she slid a bright orange flyer onto our table before turning around to face the class.

"Disney? Make them as sexy as possible?" I groaned as Bella snatched the flyer from my hands stuffing it in her notebook.

"Don't you worry your gorgeous head over it, Casanova. Alice, Rose, and I will take care of this." She said with a devious smile on her face.

Emmett and I both groaned as we delved head first into College Algebra. I had to admit that I was looking forward to the Halloween party this coming weekend but I was a little scared as to what the ladies were going to dress us in. I knew my Bella wouldn't put me in anything that would make me uncomfortable but I was still a little scared.

I was brought out of my thoughts when Bella nudged my knee with hers motioning to the piece of paper she had slid over to me with a note written on it.

Think 'Genie in a bottle', You as Aladdin, me as Princess Jasmine?. Are we still taking Gavyn trick or treating in the neighborhood?

I scrunched my eyebrows up in confusion but I trusted her.

Yes, we can do that on Thursday and the party is Friday . I think Emmett and Rose are taking Blakely too. He still going as a monkey?

Instead of writing me a note back she just quickly nodded as she tucked our notes back into her notebook. We had found him the cutest little monkey costume online but it had yet to show up.

The next few days were spent getting ready for both Trick or Treating with the babies and the Halloween party. Alice had commandeered the game room as her personal work zone for the week and allowed nobody but the women and babies in there. We had all decided that we wanted to all go with the babies trick or treating since it was their first time ever going. Bella and I had offered to be designated drivers the night of the party but were shocked when everybody said they weren't drinking this time around so a designated driver wasn't necessary.

I was currently up in the 'office' area writing out checks to pay the bills for the month when Bella sauntered in wearing the smallest costume I had ever seen on her. "Is this..." I started but was speechless at her costume.

"Do you like?" She asked as she hopped up on the corner of my desk that had been my dad's and my grandfather's before it became mine.

I groaned as she crossed her legs showing the slit up the outside of the blue balloon pants she was wearing. "Is there anything else to it?" I asked as I ran my hands up her exposed thighs through the slit than ran from upper thigh to knee and again from knee to ankle.

She just laughed and shook her head. "Nope." She said popping her 'p' and shaking her head sending her braid swishing around her head.

I groaned as I stood up spreading her legs and stepping between them. "I hope you have me dressed decent because this outfit is going to cause me to have a perpetual hard on all night." I growled into her neck as I stroked the exposed skin of her stomach.

She giggled and nodded. "That's why I came to get you." She said between giggles as I scratched her neck with my stubble.

I pulled back and quirked an eyebrow at her in confusion. "You came to get me because you knew this costume would cause perpetual hard on's?"

She laughed and shook her head. "No silly. Alice needs to try your costume on to see if it fits just right." She said between giggles.

I groaned and laid my head on her bare shoulder. "Right now?" I asked lightly.

She shook her head. "Nope, she's adjusting Jasper at the moment. She gave us an hour." She said as she leaned back on the desk letting me get a good look at her full costume. It consisted of a shirt that wrapped around each arm and her chest with a gold band underneath and blue balloon pants with a gold belt that settled low on her hips. Her shoulders and stomach were completely bare as was the outside of her legs because of the slits.

"Good." I said as I tugged her to the edge of my desk and latched my mouth to hers.

An hour later I was standing on a little wooden pedestal in the lowest level of my house being criticized by my sister in law. I thought she had done an amazing job when she showed me a picture of Aladdin she was customizing her design from. She had gotten the costume spot on in my opinion. "What is Jasper wearing? He's been super tight lipped since he found out about the costume party." I asked Alice as she fixed a pleat in the white balloon pants she had me in that came to mid-calf.

She just giggled and shook her head. "He begged me not to say anything, Edward. You will find out the night of the party." She said as she smiled and nodded. "You are perfect. Take it off and go hang it on the rod where Bella's dress is." She said as she pointed to the bathroom.

I quickly skipped to the bathroom to change out of my costume. When I saw all the costumes hanging there I just had to look through them to see what Jasper was wearing. "Tights?" I said lightly as I saw the stretchy green material hanging on a hanger with a green tunic and leather rope belt that had a knife attached to it. I quirked an eyebrow when I saw a colonial like costume hanging there also. "I wonder which one is Jasper's?" I asked myself as I hung my costume up over Bella's.

I shook my head as I dressed back in my jeans and t-shirt before heading back up the stairs as Alice pointed Rose to the bathroom. I groaned when I walked back into my office to see Bella sitting there looking at the bills I had laid out on the desk. "What's up, baby?" I asked as I sat on the corner of my desk since she was in the chair.

She shook her head. "Nothing. I was just curious as to what you was concentrating on so hard up here. You've been holed up in this office for hours." She said as she finished filling out the check that I had started to fill out earlier. We had our joint checking account so either of us could sign the checks.

"I was just paying the bills and figuring out some investments." I told her as I fiddled with her ponytail holder.

She sighed and nodded. "I didn't realize our light bill and water bill was so high." She said as she tore out the check and laid it aside and began filling out the next one I pointed to.

"It's not really considering how many people live here and how many clothes we wash a week." I told her honestly.

She nodded as she signed her name to the check before tearing it out. "Yeah, speaking of that, what are we going to do with this big old house when they all move out?"

I laughed and shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know, baby. I figure you can have an office, I can have an office, we can have a designated playroom, and I figured we would have more kids in the future." I told her honestly.

She nodded. "I hadn't thought of being able to spread out, we have all gotten so used to just sharing all the spaces. And more kids? You've thought about us having more kids?" she asked with a small smile on her face.

I nodded. "Of course, Emmett and Rose will move out eventually and take Blakely with them. Gavyn is almost six months old and I know you said you would prefer them to be close together in age."

She tore out the last check before pushing up from the chair. "Sit." She said as she stood to the side.

I knew what she wanted, she wanted to be held in our own little sanctuary, and I had no problem with that. I sat in the chair before tugging her down into my lap. She surprised me by straddling my hips with her knees pressed closely to my hips in the chair. "I did say that but we both have college and that is important too. It's not fair to have more kids and expecting your parents to watch them while we are in school." She said as she threaded her fingers through my hair.

I chuckled and nodded. "What if one of us only went to school part time or took classes online? It's not like we are hurting for money. Hell, neither one of us needs to work for the rest of our lives but we want to." I told her as I wrapped my arms around her back holding her close.

She giggled and snuggled in close to me. "I hadn't really thought about it and it's not right for me to quit school just to raise our kids." She said quietly.

I smiled as I stroked my hands up and down her back. "That is the most important job in the world, Isabella. If you want to quit after this next semester and stay home with Gavyn then I am perfectly okay with that as long as you are okay with it too."

I could feel her smile into my neck. "Really? I would love to stay at home with him until he at least starts school. I can always do online classes just to get some things out of the way for when I do go back. And go back I will." She said firmly.

I nodded as I slid my hands down to cup her butt in my hands pressing her hips closer to mine. "Fine, Isabella. I just want you and our kids to be happy."

"Oh, you make me beyond happy, Edward. How soon do you want more kids?"

I shrugged because I honestly didn't know. "I don't know, baby, whenever you are ready to give them to me I guess."

She pulled back to look me in the eyes as she cupped my face in her palms. "I love you, Edward Anthony Masen, and I say let's just let Mother Nature take over. She brought us Gavyn; surely she will send us another one just as perfect our way."

I tickled her sides at her words which caused her to squirm against me which caused a certain part of my anatomy to react almost instantly. "Again?" she asked with a quirked eyebrow.

I smiled and nodded as I eased my hand down her back once again only this time I dipped below her shorts cupping her delicious bottom in my palm.
