Thanks for reviews for the last chapter.
BPOV
I woke up feeling more happy and content than I ever remembered feeling before. I was on my side with Edward completely wrapped around me, and I mean completely. He had one of his legs over mine, one arm under my neck with his hand tangled up in my hair and the other arm wrapped around my torso with his hand on my breast. His face was nuzzled into my hair and I could his breath on the back of my neck.
I moved slightly and the hand on my breast began to softly move. I automatically arched into it which made my ass grind back into his extremely hard morning wood. There were no words spoken as his hand moved down to my centre and began to rub my already wet core. He began to kiss my neck and shoulder as I got wetter and then he gently lifted my leg back over his. He placed himself at my entrance and thrust inside.
After we had finished we lay there, still connected, blissfully happy.
"Good morning baby," he whispered as he kissed the back of my neck.
"Hmm, good morning indeed." I murmured back.
"How are you feeling? Are you sore?" he asked worriedly.
"I'm fine. I'm a little sore but I'll be okay. It was worth it."
He moved back, separating us, and pulled me into his side. I automatically threw my leg over him and nuzzled into his chest as he wrapped his arms around me.
"I am so happy right now. I didn't think it was possible to be this happy," he whispered.
"I know. I love you Edward, so much. I didn't think I would ever feel this way about someone. I can't believe you actually feel the same way." I said almost to myself.
This man was unbelievably smart and kind. He was sweet, caring, loving and oh my lord was he handsome. He could have any woman he wanted but he, for some unknown reason, had chosen me.
"I do Bella. I've never loved someone so much in my life. I can't believe your mine." he answered and leaned down to kiss me.
Of course my stomach chose that moment to be heard.
"Hungry my love?" he asked, chuckling quietly.
"Yup. I don't want to move but I really need to clean up and eat. I'll go shower and then I will make breakfast while you shower." I said as I sat up.
"Or we could shower and then breakfast together," he replied.
"Or we could do that." I laughed and headed for the bathroom with Edward following closely behind.
A few hours later we headed to my parents house. When we got there Billy was already out in the back yard with my dad and Carson. My mom was in the kitchen putting a chicken in the oven. Roast chicken was about the only thing she could make without cremating it.
"Hey mom. This is Edward Cullen, my boyfriend. Edward this is my mom, Renee." I said as Edward let go of my hand and extended to my mother.
"It's nice to meet you Mrs Swan. I've heard a lot about you," he smiled.
"All good I hope! It's nice to meet you to Edward, and call me Renee. Although I've heard all about you from Bella, your mom and Carson. He's taken quite the shining to you."
"The feeling is mutual. He's a great little guy," Edward said as he watched Carson through the kitchen window.
"I hope my being here won't make things difficult today with Mr Black being here." he said as he looked at me.
I shook my head at his concern.
"Not at all. If there's any problem he can leave. Now Bella, what else needs to go in just now?" she asked me.
"Nothing mom you still have a little while. Why don't we all go out back?" I said as I grabbed bottles of water from the fridge for Edward and I.
The three of us headed out back.
"Hey sweetheart, Edward." my dad nodded over to us.
"Hi dad. Hey Billy. This is Edward Cullen, Edward this is Carsons Granpaw, Billy Black."
"Nice to meet you sir," Edward held out his hand but instead of taking it Billy just looked at it and then returned his attention to his grandson.
I made my way over to Carson pulling Edward behind me.
"I'm sorry about him-" I started but was interrupted.
"Momma! Ewa!" Carson yelled and ran over.
I put my arms out to catch him but he made a beeline for Edward.
"Hey little man," Edward smiled as he picked him up.
"Hey buddy, have you no kisses for your mommy?" I asked as I leaned over and he planted a big wet one on my cheek.
"You coming?" I put my arms out for him but he burrowed into Edward nuzzling his head into the crook of Edward's neck.
"I see how it is. You got a new friend now and I get ignored," I teased
We started back towards my parents and Billy. Billy was glaring at Edward. We sat down across the patio table from them and Billy continued to started at Edward as he played and talked with Carson.
"You coming to see your old granpaw son?" Billy asked and reached over for Carson but again he burrowed into Edward.
"No gampaw. Ewa." Carson stated and began babbling to Edward as he played with the collar on his shirt.
"Well it sure didn't take you long to find a replacement. I'm surprised he isn't calling him dad." Billy spat at me.
Before I had a chance to answer my dad cut in.
"Now Billy, we're all here for a nice dinner. However close Bella, Edward and Carson have become is none of your concern. We all know why Carson isn't spending time with Jake just now so lets just leave that subject alone." he said sternly.
"Are you honestly telling me you agree with all this? Come on Charlie! You can't honestly think it's coincidence that Bella starts seeing this guy and then all of a sudden she stops Jacob from seeing his son. I mean don't you think that's a little harsh? Then Carson is all over this guy as if he's known him forever and you all act like it's not a big deal!" he raised his voice and Carson looked up, startled.
"Billy, do not raise you're voice in front of my son. However close Carson is with Edward has nothing to do with Jacob not seeing him. Jacob has a problem and until he deals with that he will not be a apart of Carson's life. My son always has and always will be my number one priority. I was already considering this before I even met Edward again. Jacob has a lot of growing up to do and I will not allow him to flit in and out of Carson's life until he does so. If you are going to continue to go on about this then I will take Carson home." I said firmly.
"Let's be honest this is suiting you. You've never really wanted Jacob involved. You don't even let Carson come to the tribal bonfires when they're happening. You don't want him to learn about his heritage and you hate it when he spends time with any of us. Why do you think Jacob goes so long between visits?" he said as if I was stupid.
"Jacob goes so long between visits because it suits him. If I didn't want him involved I wouldn't have told any of you about Carson. I would have stayed in Port Angeles and kept him away but I didn't. I wanted him to be close with his father. I've already told you that if Carson wants to learn about the Quileute ways when he is older then I will fully support him but I won't make his mind up for him. I don't know where you get this idea that Jacob is the perfect father. He never has been. Now am I leaving or will you stop with this," I asked.
"Bella calm down. Now Billy. We talked about this and I told you that if and when Jacob deals with his issues then he can talk to Bella and maybe sort something out about visitation but so far he has done nothing. He hasn't even called to ask how Carson is. The only time he has asked to see him was when he showed up at Angela Webber's house drunk off his ass. Now the conversation ends now. So Edward what is it that you do?" Charlie asked while still glaring at Edward.
Edward answered and the conversation dragged from there. Eventually Edward and I took Carson to the swing at the bottom of the garden and played with him. I was going into the house to help my mom with the rest of dinner and Edward came with me. We got just inside the back door when I heard my mother on the phone.
"I can't talk right now. I'll call you later if I get a chance. I don't know. Soon hopefully. Okay. I love you too. Bye." she whispered.
I looked at Edward frowning and he shrugged his shoulders. My mom jumped as she came into the kitchen and saw us.
"Who was that?" I asked as I started pulling stuff out of the fridge.
"Just your aunt Karen. I told her I'd call her later so that I can get the rest of dinner started." she said almost nervously.
"If you want I'll fix the sides. You go relax with dad and Billy," I said as I got out an oven tray.
"Are you sure? I can help." she offered.
"It's fine. If I need help Edward will help." I replied as I began to peel potatoes. "Why don't you go and play with Carson. He wanted to play on the swing longer." I offered.
"Okay. Yell if you need me." she said over her shoulder on her way outside.
"So are you ready to run away screaming yet? I know I am" I joked with Edward.
"It's hard to believe how completely clueless Billy is about the whole situation. Does he really think that you would be doing all this if it wasn't in Carson's best interest? And what was all that about his heritage?" Edward asked as he peeled the carrots.
"You know how the tribe has been down at La Push for ever? Well Billy is a tribe elder. His ancestor was the tribe leader. Billy is at the moment and at some point it will be up to Jacob. This should eventually be passed on to Carson. When he was born and Jacob came back into the picture they wanted me to allow Carson to be raised on the reservation. They wanted me to go and stay in Jacobs house so that Carson could be raised in their ways and culture but I refused. I told them when Carson is old enough to understand I will talk to him and if he wishes to learn about their customs and things then I would allow him to do so. Billy thinks that I am being disrespectful but I'm not. I just want my son to know that there is more to this world than what happens on the reservation. Down there what the elders say goes and no-one is allowed to do anything differently. It's like a pack mentality and I don't want that for him."
"So I take it you are the big bad paleface keeping the prodigal grandchild from his people," he laughed.
"Basically, yeah. Depending on who you talk to. The Clearwaters are a lovely family. Leah can be a bit rough but once you really know her she's a sweetheart. The rest of them can talk to you one day and ignore you the next depending on their mood. Right now the Clearwaters are probably the only ones who would talk to me if I went down there. They can all go to hell. I'll probably never hear the end of it once it gets out that I'm talking to a lawyer," I sighed.
I covered the potatoes in goose fat, sprinkled them with rosemary and put them in the oven to roast. I basted the chicken and then fixed the carrots in a tin foil parcel with some herbs and butter then folded the foil up and put that on the counter to go in soon. I put the sweet potatoes on to boil and then we were done.
Dinner was quiet. My parents and Edward made small talk and I concentrated on Carson. Billy never spoke to anyone except my dad. As soon as we were done eating he asked my dad to take him home saying he felt unwell. He had to get in a parting shot though.
"You might want to slow things down Bella. You don't want the boy getting the wrong idea. What will he do when you're done with this guy and move on to the next," he called over his shoulder as he left.
He was gone before I had a chance to answer him.
"Well that was awkward," my mom said as she stood, "Anybody want some coffee?" she asked.
"I'm fine mom. Edward?" I looked over to him as he tickled Carson.
"Huh?" he asked.
"Would you like some coffee?" I asked as I smiled.
"Um, sure. That would be great," he answered and my mom headed back to the kitchen.
"Did you want to go?" he asked.
"No it's fine. I want to speak to my parents once my dad gets back anyway. I figure I should tell them about tomorrow."
"Probably a good idea. You know that Jacob will be furious when he finds out. It's probably best they hear it from you than from him." he answered.
I sat back and watched Edward interact with my son. It made me so happy to see how they had both taken to each other. In that moment we were all happy and content and it felt wonderful.
