I hadn't even realized that I had dozed off until the intoxicating scent of Edward's cologne filled my nostrils and I opened my eyes to see him laying two inches away from me, a huge smile on his face. After realizing how close he was to me I was no longer tired. I felt as if I had all the energy in the world. I probably could've stayed up all night just staring at his flawless face and beautiful smile. Is that creepy? Oh well, he wants to marry me, so he will just have to deal with my creepiness.
A giggle escaped from my throat, but it was so low that Edward probably didn't even hear it. I wiggled my way a couple inches to the right so I could be a little closer to him, and let out a more audible giggle as I stared him at with raised eyebrows, trying to uncover the motive behind his dazzling smile.
I wasn't too sure why he was smiling. There were several possibilities. It could have been because he was happy he got to stay over, or he was glad we had nothing left to tell my dad, or…he was so pleased by the fact that he had gotten Alice to agree to sleep on the floor. Yup, that had to have been it.
I glanced down at my carpeted floor and let out a much louder giggle. I probably sounded as if I could be related to a hyena or something, but I just couldn't help myself. I'm pretty sure anyone witnessing the same sight I was would've had the same reaction.
Little Alice was strewn across my floor, her head hanging off of a throw pillow, legs curled up into a ball, and hands placed strategically on her stomach. She looked pretty cute, but I had no idea how Edward ever got her to give up her place on my bed. It's not like she's just dying to do favors for him.
Edward let out a chuckle and stroked my cheek gently with his hand. His touch felt cold, but nice. I smiled then closed my eyes. I was exhausted. I wanted nothing more than to close my eyes and let sleep take over, but of course I was unwilling to admit that to Edward.
"Love, I'm so sorry for waking you. Close your eyes and get some rest. I'll be right here when you wake up in the morning. We can talk then."
I fought to keep my eyes open and shook my head. "No, I'm not that sleepy anymore, I lied.
He let out a groan and placed a gentle but affectionate kiss on my forehead. That was his nice way of saying, 'Of course you aren't, you stubborn girl'.
"Edward, what happens now, I questioned. We are engaged and I'm pregnant with triplets, but now what? Do we get married before or after the babies arrive, and when they do come where are we to live? Here? Your parent's house or do we find our own home?"
A million different thoughts and questions were running through my mind. I knew I was engaged and I knew that I would be a mom soon, but that's all I knew. I was absolutely clueless as to what the rest of the future held for me, and that scared me. I didn't when or where my wedding would be or where my family would live, and I most certainly did not know what I would name my little girls. The one thing I did know was that if I didn't figure things out soon I would be sitting in a cardboard box, unmarried with three little nameless babies.
Edward wiggled closer to me and reached for my right hand. With his left hand he pushed my bangs away from my face and kissed my forehead again. He gave a little chuckle before replying. It always drove me crazy when he did that, but that's Edward for you.
"My love, stop worrying, close your pretty little eyes, and go to sleep. We will figure everything out I promise we will, but we don't have to do it tonight. We still have plenty of time before the triplets come. We have time to do everything we need to do. Right now all you need to do is sleep. Stop worrying, and go to sleep."
I groaned and pulled my hand away. His reply was not good enough for me. I was pregnant, hormonal, and scared. I needed a much better sense of security that what he was providing for me. I didn't want to figure things out later; I wanted to know right then and there that everything would be ok. I wanted to know when we would get married and I wanted to ensure that our babies would have a safe place to sleep.
"No Edward, I don't want to go to sleep. I want to talk and I want to talk now." I huffed.
Edward chuckled again, louder this time, and kissed my lips slowly but passionately. That kiss distracted me a little, and hell yes I enjoyed it, but it was Edward's way of trying to get me give in to what he wanted and I wasn't going to let that happen. I pulled away and slapped Edward's arm playfully. I wasn't going to let him distract me. I wanted answers, and I was determined to get them.
He chuckled and finally caved. "Fine Belles, I'll stay up as long as you want, and we can talk about whatever you want. What's on your mind?" he asked.
I smiled smugly. He said exactly what I wanted to hear. I sighed and thought about the question for a minute, trying to decide what issue to address first.
"Well you proposed to me earlier today. You gave me a beautiful ring. It's simple and small, but it's beautiful. It's me, and I can't wait to be your wife but when exactly will I become your wife?" I asked
He moved closer to me, and i could feel his bare chest against my enlarged belly. His touch was driving me crazy, but I fought the feeling off.
" Love, I will make you my wife whenever you wish. As soon or as far into the future as you want. Just tell me what you want and that's what we will do" he replied.
I thought about his response for a while. To be honest I wasn't completely sure what I wanted at the moment. It would be nice to get married and have the babies at our wedding, but then after they are born how much time are we seriously going to have to plan a wedding? The best thing to do would probably be to get married before the triplets come. That only left us with a couple months to plan, and that also meant that I would be as fat as a whale in my wedding pictures, but with a little help from Alice pretty much anything is possible
"Ok, well I think I want to get married before the triplets come, and I think I would like to have Alice plan the wedding for me. You know Alice, she will make sure everything turns out perfectly plus it will relieve me from having to stress about it. I'll let her take care of all the preparations, and all I will have to do is show up." I decided.
Edward stifled a chuckle and kissed my left cheek. "That sounds like a wonderful idea. We will everything to Alice. She will definitely be thrilled with the idea of planning our wedding. So, now we have the wedding situation under control, can we go to sleep?"
Seriously? Now, it was my turn to laugh. I giggled and shook my head. "No, now I want to know where we are going to lay our adorable little babies at night. We can't just live out of your Volvo, so where are we supposed to live?" I asked
"Well no, we most certainly can't live out of the car, my love. That would be much to small, and quite frankly I think the cramped space would just enhance the cries of our children. No, the car is definitely out of the question. I was thinking more along the lines of one of the lovely benches in the park. We would have plenty of space, tons of fresh air, and hey if we ever needed a break there's always strangers in the park to watch the girls for us.", he joked.
I laughed sarcastically and smacked his arm. "Seriously, Edward Cullen, I am refusing to sleep until I have a legitimate answer."
He chuckled and mumbled "Oh Bella" under his breath. "Love, do you remember that one day we cruised around Fork's just because we had nothing better to do?" he asked.
I was a little puzzled by the question, and didn't know why he was asking it, but I did remember that day so I nodded my head and mumbled "Yes"
"Do you remember the small two story Victorian home we passed by that day? I immediately nodded my head. I could never forget that house. I've loved it ever since I was a little girl and I had first seen it. I used to tell Rennee that I would live there one day and she would just laugh. The house had everything I had ever wanted in a house. It was painted a beautiful shade of baby blue and had the nicest most inviting front porch. It was large and shady and I could just picture myself sitting there in a wooden rocking chair with a baby in my arms, but I think my favorite feature of the house would have to be the second story balcony. It reminded me of something from a movie, so yes of course I remembered the house. I remembered it perfectly.
I was puzzled yet again by his question, but I answered anyway. "Yeah I loved that house; it's like my dream house, so of course I remember it. I could never forget it." I replied.
Even in the darkness of my room I could see a smile appearing on Edward's face. "I know you loved that house, so that's why I bought it." He replied like he was merely saying "Oh yeah I took out the trash"
It took a while for his words to register in my mind due to the fact that I was absolutely exhausted. "Oh my goodness Edward did you seriously buy that house?" I exclaimed.
He chuckled and exclaimed, "Yes Belles, I bought you your dream home. You can sit on our porch and rock our babies to sleep"
My eyes grew so wide that they felt like they were going to pop out of my head at any second.
I let out a high pitched, Alice style squeal and leaped at him, so that I could hug him.
He chuckled and kissed the top of my head. "So I'm guessing you prefer the house over the park bench", he joked.
I smacked his arm gently and then moved in for a kiss. "I much prefer the house over the park bench, sweetheart", I replied once I had broken our kiss.
"Good, I was hoping you might. Now, Ms. Swann, we have decided to let your overly perky best friend plan our wedding which we decided will be before the triplets are born, and I have just told you where we will be living after we get married, so can we please go to sleep now?", he asked.
I giggled mischievously, then kissed his butter soft lips quickly. "Of course not", I replied simply.
He let out a groan, then threw his loving arms around my fat belly. "Isabella Swan, what more could we possibly have to discuss that can't wait until the morning, my dear?", he asked.
"Well would you like our daughters to have names?", I asked
He chuckled and let out a sigh. "Yes, my love, I would like that very much, but we have plenty of time to choose names for our daughters. We are not going to do that right now. Right now you are going to close your pretty chocolate brown eyes and get some sleep. It's been a long day, and I know you must be tired, so please hush now, and get some rest."
I let out a loud groan, but decided that Edward was right, and that there was no way he was going to let me win this one, so I finally just closed my eyes and let sleep take over.
