So heres your next chapter and enjoy (:
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Twilight
I walked back down the stairs. I didn't hear any footsteps so I assumed he was in the same place I had just left him.
How dare he, I show up with two kids and now he wants to talk, you've had four bloody years buddy.
I was too busy thinking that in my haste to get to the kitchen I tripped over the suitcases still sitting at the bottom of the stairs. Great, fucking great. I tensed and thrust my arms forward hoping to catch myself, I closed my eyes and waited for the pain of falling in heels arrive. It never came. Someone had wrapped their arm around my waist to stop me from falling. I knew who it was.
Edward stood up straight bringing me up with him. I could feel the heat radiating in my chest before it rose up further and into my cheeks. I was glad it was dark, then he wouldn't see my blush. He still had his arm around me.
"Uh, thanks you can, let go of me now" I said before clearing my throat.
He didn't answer but I felt him remove his arm. I immediately felt a sense of loss and was suddenly very cold.
Gah! Bella don't think about that now
I thanked him again before turning back around and walking into the kitchen. Esme, Rose and Alice were doing the dishes. I decided to help them, welcoming it as a distraction.
"What's got you all flustered Bells?" Rose asked me, raising a perfectly sculpted eyebrow.
"Nothing" but my answering blush gave me away. I looked down, focusing intently on drying the glass in my hands.
"Bullshit what happened?" Alice asked, throwing down her tea towel.
"Alice, language" Esme scolded her daughter.
"Sorry mom" Alice mumbled. Esme just shook her head, continuing to put some of the dishes away.
"Look, nothing happened okay. I put the twins in their bed and came back down here" I said exasperated.
"Mhmm, sure it has nothing to do with a certain someone?" Rose piped up, she must have seen Edward follow me upstairs. I sent her a warning look, clearly saying 'I don't want to talk about it'.
"Okay, okay" she said, throwing her hands up in surrender. "I won't say anything else"
"Thank you" I said.
We managed to get all the dishes done before settling down at the kitchen bench and making coffee.
"So where are all the guys?" I asked.
"They're in the lounge watching a football game" Alice said, rolling her eyes.
I smiled, Alice could never understand a guys obsession for sports, just as I couldn't understand hers for shopping.
"And Tanya?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"She's in there with them, a good thing too. Do you know how many times I wanted to rip her a new one during dinner? And I've only been in her presence for a few hours!" Rose exclaimed.
We all laughed.
"I know how you feel Rose" Alice began "When she said, Bells was a sex worker, in front of the kids no less, I wanted to pummel her. But I knew you could hold your own Bella. Well done for that too by the way" she said, proudly.
I blushed.
"She asked for it. I wanted so bad, to slap that smug smirk of her face" I said, laughing.
"Well, I'm glad you didn't" Esme said, "I just want you girls to be careful, I know you don't like her and I'm not too fond of her either but she is a guest and I'd prefer she left the same way she arrived. Intact" she finished looking at Rose pointedly.
"Fine, but I can't promise you anything" Rose huffed. Esme then turned her attention to Alice and I.
"Same as Rose" we said in unison. Esme sighed but nodded her head knowing that's as good a promise she'll get out of us, regarding Tanya's well being.
We poured ourselves a cup of coffee before settling down and just talking. Rose and Alice were telling me about the boutique they had just opened in Seattle but wouldn't be returning until after the wedding. Esme told me how our house was coming along but said it wouldn't be ready for a few weeks.
Then, they started talking about wedding plans. I never really liked weddings, I'm sure you could guess why but as I look at them, I realise how much I had missed them. I think some girl time was long over due.
"So where is the wedding going to be?" I asked.
"The entire wedding will be done here." Esme said, smiling at Alice.
I nodded my head. Then I zoned out, like I said. I wasn't much for wedding planning.
After we had finished our coffees, I told the girls to leave their cups. I would wash them. Esme tried telling me to just leave them be and she'll do it the morning. Operative word being tried. I didn't mind, it was just a few cups.
She relented and patted my hand before mumbling about why her sons couldn't be like me. You could say my head grew a bit bigger at her praise. So what?
I had just finished putting the cups away when I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I turned around and saw Edward standing only a few feet away from me. I yelped in surprise and slipped, he reached out to help me but I managed to grab onto the kitchen counter, saving myself from further embarrassment.
"Fucking Hell! Edward, you scared the shit out of me, don't you know to make a noise when you enter a room?" I said breathlessly, looking at him as if he were crazy.
"I'm sorry I…" He sighed and looked at me apologetically. I gave him a short nod before closing the cupboard doors and wiping down the bench.
I turned around to see he was still standing there, looking frustrated.
"Did you want something?" I asked, confused.
"We…we…Damn it, Bella we have to talk" he said pleadingly. Running his hands through his hair. I was momentarily distracted, I wanted to be the one to do that.
Shit, Stop it Bella.
"Bella are you listening?" Edward said, stepping closer to me looking aggravated. I retreated a little but stopped when I felt myself hit the counter. He moved closer until he was only about 2 feet away.
I closed my eyes, I didn't want to do this now. I couldn't.
"Edward, I don't want to do this now, I can't do this now" I said as I opened my eyes, begging him with my eyes.
If anything, what I'd said had aggravated him a little more.
"But-" I cut him off.
"I told you before, only an hour ago Edward, you've had four years to talk, I'm not going to do this now. I just got here" I said throwing my hands up in provocation.
The kitchen door swung open.
"Eddie baby, where-" Tanya stopped short as she saw me in here with him. Edward jumped back, when he realised how close he was.
"What's going on?" she asked snappily, glaring at me. I turned around ignoring her question, I don't answer to her.
"N-nothing I, forget it" I heard Edward say before his retreating footsteps.
I finished my job before folding up the tea towel and putting it back where it belonged.
I turned around to see Tanya still standing there glaring at me, I rolled my eyes before attempting to walk pass her and into the lounge. She pushed her arm up across the doorway, blocking me from getting out.
She started walking towards me and I backed up a bit not wanting her to touch me. She smirked, psh! better think again, if she assumes I'm afraid of her.
"Listen here bitch" she said getting right up in my face, sneering at me.
She actually poked me in the shoulder with one of her perfectly manicured nails.
It took all I had not to grab it and snap it in half.
"Eddie is with me, We're getting married soon which means he's like, mine now, which means, I will not allow an underclass whore such as yourself to take him away from me. So stay away from my Eddie and like keep your filthy little skanky paws off my man. Then we won't have a problem" She said tersely, glowering at me.
I couldn't help it, I laughed. Hard.
She grabbed me by the front of my dress and sneered.
"You think I'm joking?" she said callously.
I calmed down a bit and looked her straight in the eye before smiling pleasantly.
"Sweetie, you have about 5 seconds to get your hands off me before I grab you by your hair and break that pretty little face of yours against the counter top. Don't think I won't do it" I added, still smiling at her. I wouldn't actually do it but i might do something. She didn't have to know that though.
I saw a brief look of panic flash in her eyes, before she glared at me and let me go. Too late honey, I saw that look.
"Good girl, it seems you're not as obtuse as I thought. Now that that's out of the way, let me lay it down for you. Don't worry, its foolproof so the old grey matter should be able to keep up. I don't appreciate it when people insult me, and yes, you have Edward now, congratulations but FYI, I had him before you, so all you really have are my leftovers, now, tell me, how do they taste?" I asked, smirking at her.
"You're lying, like he would ever take a second look at you, you're like, so euw" she said disgusted, looking me over once.
"Like I said before, I don't take too well to insults and if you don't believe me, ask him who his first was Darling." I said sweetly, patting her cheek before walking pass her and opening the kitchen door. I stopped and turned around.
"Oh and by the way, here's a little tid bit for you, stay out of my way and leave me alone. Threaten me again and I just might have to beat your ass" I said, sneering at her.
"Like, Eddie's family would let you do that" she scoffed, "They love me, I'm going to be their future daughter/sister in-law"
I chuckled before smiling wickedly.
"Oh honey, that's where you are wrong. They'd only be too happy to help" I laughed before walking out and closing the door behind me. I heard her shriek in anger as I walked away.
I made my way in to the lounge to see everyone and their partners (except Edwards) cuddled up watching a movie.
"Hey Jelly Bean, you seen slut-fa-" Esme coughed, before glaring at Emmett, warning him not to finish, what he was about to say.
"I mean Tanya" Emmett gulped. I'd be terrified too. You don't ever want to be on the receiving end of Esme's glares.
"Yeah, she's in the kitchen" I said smiling brightly.
"What did you do?" Edward asked, suspiciously.
"Why would I do anything?" I asked, feigning innocence. He sighed in frustration, knowing that that was all I was going to say.
"Lucky bitch" I heard Rose mutter underneath her breath. I chuckled.
"Bells come watch the movie with us" Alice chirped from underneath Jaspers arm.
I was just about to sit down when Tanya walked back in and sat on Edwards lap. Well fuck. There goes the rest of my night.
"Actually, i think i might get some shut eye. I'm still a little jet lagged." i said, faking a yawn.
"Okay sweetheart, we'll see you in the morning" Esme said.
I walked over to her and gave her hug.
"I'm so glad you're home" she whispered in my ear.
"Thanks Esme" i said, before kissing her on the cheek.
I said goodnight to everyone else and blowing them a few kisses.
I made my way up the stairs, lugging the suitcase i had left earlier behind me. I went in to my bedroom and left them by the dresser. I'd unpack everything in the morning. I opened one of the suitcase, grabbing a tank top, pyjama shorts and my toiletries before going in to the bathroom.
I'd already had a shower at Charlie's so i was fine till tomorrow morning. I washed my face and brushed my teeth before putting my pyjamas on.
I checked on the twins before hopping into bed and settling down.
I wondered how i was going to tell Edward the twins are his. If he hasn't figured it out yet which would be highly unlikely, they're both spitting images of him, you'd be a fool not to see the resemblence, like Tanya.
Tanya, Tanya, Tanya. God she annoys me, its quite funny how she tries to intimidate me, operative word being 'tries'. I think Rose is more scarier than her and that's saying something. I'd congratulate the girl if she left without a scratch on her.
But she just didn't seem Edward's type but then again who am i to say anything. He's the epitome of sexy and he should be with someone like her, it just makes more sense. But i'll be damned if i'm going to let the tramp walk all over me.
Tonight wasn't so bad, i guess it could've gone worse. But i know i'm going to have to stop stalling and talk to Edward soon. He deserves that much.
The next morning i woke up to find Emmetts face a little more than 2 inches from mine, eyes open, staring at me, so inevitably I screamed bloody murder and jumped back so far i fell off the bad. Thanks Em.
"God Damn it! Emmett what the hell is wrong with you?" i yelled from floor. I sat up then proceeded to glare at him.
He was guffawing so loudly, i don't think he heard me.
"You......your.....face......fuckin hilarious" he said in between laughs, pointing at me.
"Oh ha ha, hope you choke on your spit you bastard" i grumbled unintelligibly, i could feel the heat in my face. Great, another reason for him to laugh at me.
I huffed before standing up and folding my arms across my chest. Emmett was still laughing at me and going red in the face. He calmed down some before trying to talk to me. Wanker. I turned my head away.
"Oh, come one Jellybean it was funny" he whined, trying to get me to look at him.
"How exactly, is me falling on my ass suppose to be funny?" i asked him, finally turning to look at him. He looked at me as if i were stupid.
"Well, come on, if it were anyone else you'd laugh your head off" he pointed out. Yeah that's true.
"Fine. Just don't do it again" i sighed. I could never stay mad at him.
"Scouts honour" he said. I giggled.
"You were never a scout" i said. He thought about it before nodding his head, agreeing with me. I rolled my eyes.
"So is there any particular reason for the wake up call?" i asked.
"Yeah, everyone's awake and breakfast is ready, so mom said to wait for you to get up. I couldn't so i came up here" he said before he took off out the door.
"Damn it! Emmett!" i yelled. God that man would do anything for food. I shook my head and walked in to the bathroom to freshen up then made my way down stairs in to the dining room.
"Momma!" i heard the twins yell. They both jumped off Carlisle and Esmes lap, racing over to me.
I crouched down so they could jump in to my arms.
"Good morning, my babies" i said, kissing their foreheads. I walked over to the table and sat down next to Alice and handed Delilah over to her.
"Morning Bells" everyone greeted me, i smiled at them in return.
"Did you get a good sleep last night?" i asked the twins.
"Yes, mommy we did" Delilah said, smiling up at me.
"Okay, so is everyone ready to eat?" Carlisle asked, looking around.
"Hell yeah!" Emmett boomed, Rose just slapped his head.
"Ow Rosie" he pouted at her rubbing his head. Everyone chuckled.
"Dig in then" Carlisle said.
I asked the Cameron first what he wanted. Esme had gotten up early to cook breakfast for everyone. There were scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon, fried tomatoes, pancakes, waffles and toast.
"Can i 'ave bacon and waffles please momma?" Cameron asked. So i fixed him up his plate, 3 strips of bacon and 2 waffles. Alice did Delilahs.
"Here you go sweetheart" Esme said, passing me the twins sippy cups, which already had orange juice in them.
"Thanks Esme" i said. She smiled.
I looked around the table and noticed that two people were missing.
"Where's Edward and Tanya?" i asked no one specifically.
"Tanya packed a shit-ake mushroom this morning" nice save Rose "when she found out that Mom couldn't cook any vegan breakfast meals or what ever, so Edward took her to the diner in town. I hope he leaves her there" she finished. We all snickered.
"Rose" Esme warned. Rose just rolled her eyes, mumbling unintelligibly.
"What was that?" Esme asked, an eyebrow raised.
"Nothing" said Rose, smiling sweetly. Esme just laughed.
I grabbed a plate and fixed me up something to eat. I didn't have much on it, only a piece of bacon and one waffle. I heard someone clear their throat. I looked up to see Esme staring at my plate disapprovingly. I hurriedly grabbed some more bacon, another waffle and a spoonfullof eggs. She smiled approvingly, then continuedto eat her food. I heard Alice snicker to my left.
"What are you laughing at?" i grumbled. She full on laughed.
We were half way through breakfast when we heard the front door open.
"We're home!" a nasally voice called out. Tanya.
"This ain't your home" Emmett mumbled. We all laughed including Esme and Carlisle.
Tanya walked in to the dining room, followed by Edward, who looked, dare i say it, mighty damn fine. He was wearing dark grey-wash denim jeans and a black button down shirt, his hair in its normal disheveled sate. I think i wet my panties just a little. Shit. Stop it Bella!
I looked up to see his eyes on me. Shit he caught me ogling him, I felt the heat rise up in my cheeks before i could look away. He smirked a little. Smug bastard.
I looked down at my plate and continued to eat. I noticed that Cameron had finished his breakfast.
"Are you done sweetie, would you like some more?" I asked him.
"No thanks momma" he said, beaming at me. I kissed his forehead then finished eating mine.
"So, what are the plans for today?" Edward asked, looking around the room.
"Well Rose, Bella, Mom and I are gonna go shopping and we'll take the twins with us. You guys can do what ever you want" Alice said very matter of factly.
I dropped my fork when she said my name. It's not that i didn't like shopping, Alice just tended to go over board
"I don't get a say in this do i?" I asked, already knowing the answer.
"Nope" she and Rose said together. I huffed, knowing that they'd get there way even if i put up a fight.
"Fine, what ever" i said. We continued to eat.
"Ahem" we all looked up at Edward. He arched his head towards Tanya. I looked over at Alice, wondering if she knew what he was trying to say. She shrugged as if to say 'No bloody clue'.
"Tanya" he said before turning his head to look at her "Would you like to go shopping with girls?" he asked. Fuck!!.
"Oh what the fuck?!" Rose exclaimed throwing her hands up. Jasper and Emmett snickered whilst Alice and I covered the twins ears.
"Jesus, Rose my kids are still sitting at the table" i hissed at her. Esme was giving her a warning stare and Carlisle was trying to hide his smile behind his hand. Edward and Tanya just glared at her.
"Of course you should come dear, she was just kidding" Esme said smiling, we looked at her incredulously.
"Yeah, Whatever" Tanya said rolling her eyes and looking at her nails.
Rose pushed her chair out scraping it across the floor, glaring at Tanya. Tanya looked terrified and jumped behind Edward for protection i'd guess. That ain't gonna do you much good sweetie. Emmett jumped up and grabbed Rose from behind and whispered in her ear for her to calm down. Rose looked once at Esme and saw the warning glare on her face before she huffed and stormed out of the room with Emmett trailing behind her.
Alice and i uncovered the twins ears and asked them if they were alright.
"Momma, is aunty Rosie ok?" Delilah asked, looking up at me sadly. I smiled down at her and kissed her cheek,
"She's fine baby" i said, i looked up to see Edward watching us with an unfathomable expression. He looked away when he noticed me staring at him.
"Okay, well i take it you're all finished?" Esme asked. Those of us still at the table nodded our heads.
"Good. Carlisle, Jasper and Edward i'll leave you guys to the table and the dishes" she said. It wasn't a request. The all groaned but knew not to argue and got started on the job.
"Ok well i'll go upstairs and get the kids bathed, Esme, Alice, can you's help?" i asked. They nodded their heads before we walked out of the dining room and back up the stairs.
We finished giving the kids a bath and dressed them up.
[Outfits on page]
Delilah was wearing a denim skirt with 3 buttons on the bottom right corner, a short sleeved shirt with a frill on the bottom and blue ankle gladiators. Cameron was dressed in blue denim shorts, a white shirt with black and grey stripes and navy blue lace ups. Esme and Alice took them downstairs while i had a shower and got ready.I dressed in black high waisted shorts and a short sleeve crescent stripe wool top with ballerines to go on my feet. I had washed my hiar so i decided to just leave it and let it dry naturally.
I walked downstairs and grabbed my hand bag and things, then walked in to the kitchen. Jasper and Emmett were holding the twins and Edward was watching them. Tanya was standing next to him looking at her nails. Alice, Rose and Esme were just milling around.
"Okay, so you guys ready to go?" I asked, alerting everyone of my presence.
"Damn girl you look hot" Rose whistled. I blushed and rolled my eyes. I looked over at Edward to see him staring at me, or my legs i should say. His eyes slowly made their way up my torso before he reached my eyes. He saw me looking at him and quickly looked away with a slightly pink tinge to his cheek. Too late, i saw you checking me out.
"Ok lets get going" Alice clapped before pulling Esme out the door. Rose and i went to grab the twins from the boys before following them out as well. I didn't check to see if Tanya was coming or not.
We got out to the cars when we realised we of course, had to take two cars.
"So who's going with who?" i asked, hoping Tanya wouldn't be coming with the twins and i.
"Well Alice and you can take the minivan, Tanya and I will go with Rose in her car" Esme said.
"No, Hell no, i don't want her" Alice and I were quick to cover the twins ears "skanky ass anywhere near my car seats" Rose said angrily. Esme just glared at her.
"Fine then. But she's sitting at the back" she huffed before getting in to the drivers seat.
I wonder how today will play out.
AN: So there you have it. Next chapter will be shopping and probably more bitch fights, i know some of you were hoping for Edward and Bella to talk
but i think we should make him wait a little longer.
So let me know what you think and review. PLEASE (:
