As usual thank for reviews.
BPOV
I woke feeling extremely stiff.
I immediately looked over to Carson who had slept peacefully all night. I thought he would be up with nightmares after how clingy he was but I never heard anything. Unless I just didn't hear him. I turned to look at Edward, who had dark circles under his eyes. He opened his eyes and looked into mine.
"Morning baby. How are you feeling?" he asked as he kissed my forehead and then bent down to snuggle into my neck.
"I'm a bit stiff and sore. Besides that I'm fine. Did you not sleep?" I asked as I scratched his head.
"Mmm, I did eventually. It just took me some time to fall asleep. I'll call the nurse and get her to bring you something for the pain." he mumbled against my skin.
"No, not yet. I just want to lay here. Do you think everyone would mind terribly if we asked them to see us tomorrow? My head is sore and I still feel tired. I'd really just like to lounge around at home, maybe watch some movies or something. You are coming home with us right?" I asked nervously.
"Where else would I go? I'll be with you whenever you need me to be. As for the others, I think that'll be fine. I'll tell dad when he comes in. He said last night that he's on at eight so he'd be in to check on you and hopefully fill out your discharge papers." he answered sleepily.
We lay just enjoying the quiet, me playing with his hair and scratching his scalp and him lazily kissing my neck every now and then. Eventually we heard a little voice.
"Momma? Ewa? I up." he called.
He couldn't get out of the bed because the side rails were up. If we left him too long though he would try and climb over so Edward got up and got him and we sat and chatted with him on my bed while we waited for Carlisle. He came in soon after Carson woke up.
"Good morning. How are you feeling Bella?" he asked with a smile as he looked over my chart.
"I'm a bit sore and my shoulders and arms feel stiff." I answered with a grimace.
"That's normal. You were probably jerked around when your car was crashed into sweetie. How's your head?"
"It feels okay right now but I can feel the throbbing getting worse the longer I'm awake. Can I go home today?" I asked hopefully.
"Sure can. I'll just get you a prescription for painkillers that you should fill today. Esme sent this for breakfast. Eat first and I'll send someone in with medication while I fill out the paperwork."
He passed us over a bag that had three plates, still warm inside. There were pancakes, sausage and bacon. There was also a little container with syrup. The nurse came in shortly after Carlisle left and almost threw the painkillers at me.
"You know being Doctor Cullen's family will only get you so far. You're not allowed to have food other than what we give you in the your room." she sneered, more looking at Edward than me.
"Well, since my dad brought it in maybe you should stop being rude to patients and go speak to him about it." he answered with a smirk on hid face.
She huffed and stormed from the room red faced.
"Who was that?" I asked.
"That was the nurse who tried to stop us coming to find you yesterday. I told her my dad had said we were fine to come to your room after Carson had been checked and she wasn't too happy."
"Ah, I see. So are we eating this breakfast then? My head fells like I have little men with hammers pounding on it"
We ate and then Carlisle came back to check my stitches and give me some more dressings to cover it with. We left the hospital a little while later. As soon as we got through the front door Edward sent texts to his mom, Alice, Rosalie, Angela and my dad saying that we would see them all tomorrow. We snuggled on the couch and settled for watching monsters inc while Carson played on the floor. We had a really relaxing day. I dozed on and off and Edward made soup for our lunch.
We ordered chinese for dinner and then we put Carson to bed. I went back downstairs to watch tv but Edward seemed to be taking a long time upstairs. He called me after about twenty minutes. I went upstairs to see my bedroom in darkness except for some candles dotted here and there. My bathroom light was on and Edward was standing by the bed.
"What's all this?" I asked with a smile.
"I thought a bath would be good for your shoulders and arms but I thought I would give you a massage first. If that's okay." he looked nervous.
"It's more than okay. Where do you want me?" I asked.
It was going to be awkward. I had a bruise from my seatbelt across my chest so it was uncomfortable to lie on my front. He came over and led me to the bed. He sat me on the edge of it and got up on his knees behind me. He pulled my top over my head carefully and then I heard him unscrew a cap something.
He started out gently rubbing over my shoulders gradually applying more pressure. It felt so good. Whatever he was using was warm and it felt great on my sore muscles.
"Okay baby?" he asked s he placed a soft kiss on my neck.
"Mmhm" was all I got out.
"Do you a bit better?"
"I do, yes. Is it time for my bath now?" he nodded.
"Are you joining me?" I asked.
"If you want me to," he whispered.
I stood up and turned to him and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"You take such good care of me baby" I whispered to him as I kissed him.
"Let's get you in the tub before you get cold." he stood too and took me by the hand and we went into the bathroom.
We got comfortable in the bathtub and sat quietly enjoying being so close. Edward was behind me and I was leaning back on his chest. He was rubbing my arms and dropping little kisses on the back of my neck. I had pulled my hair up so my neck was bare.
"Do you ever think about the future Bella?" he asked quietly.
"Sometimes. Do you?" I asked wondering where this was going.
"I do but even more so since yesterday. I really thought I had lost you yesterday. I have never been so scared in my life as when I didn't know where you two were. And I know that Carson isn't my son by blood but I love him, I really do."
"He loves you too baby. We both do. What's wrong Edward?" I asked worriedly.
I turned to look at him and saw him looking down. Eventually he looked up at me. He still looked so nervous.
"Bella, I know we haven't known each other again for all that long and I know you deserve more than this. I had wanted to do this somewhere really romantic but I can't wait, I don't want to wait. Bella will you and Carson become my family officially? Will you marry me baby?" he asked as he stared into my eyes.
I could feel the tears spill down my face.
"Yes, yes, of course I will. Of course we will." I said into his neck as I wrapped my arms around him.
He pulled me tightly against him.
"Thank you. I love you so much Bella."
"I love you too. So much." I whispered.
We stayed wrapped around each other kissing until the water went cold. When we got out he dried every inch of me and led me to the bed. He again sat me on the edge and then went to his bedside table. He came over and began to kiss me softly as he slipped a ring on my finger. I turned my head to look at it. It was a perfect round diamond solitaire. I gasped when I saw it.
"Do you like it? I thought you'd prefer it to something over the top. If you don't like it-"
I silenced him with a kiss.
"It's perfect. I love it. Now I'd like for you to make love to me." I whispered as I tried to pull him on top of me but he resisted.
"Are you sure? You're not too sore?" he asked as he kissed down my neck and pulled one of my nipples into his mouth.
I groaned as he began sucking on it.
"I'm positive Edward. I need to feel you inside me." I moaned.
He lay me in the middle of the bed and continued his ministrations on my breasts being careful to avoid the bruising. As good as it felt I needed more. Like always he anticipated what I needed. He moved a hand down and began massaging my inner thigh before moving his hand up to my core and rubbing my clit.
I was panting and moaning as he slipped two fingers inside me and began thrusting them. He moved back up to my mouth and started to thrust his tongue in my mouth in time with his fingers. Before long I could feel the coil in my stomach growing tighter.
"Oh god Edward, I love you so much," I moaned as I came all over his hand.
"I love you too baby." he replied as he moved up and entered me in one swift thrust.
He moved in me slowly and deeply as he whispered his love and devotion in my ear.
"Baby, I'm so close, come with me" he groaned in me ear before sucking the lobe into his mouth and biting gently.
"Edward! I'm so close!" I panted as he quickly rubbed my clit.
We came together and then drifted off to sleep wrapped in each others arms.
When I woke the next morning I was in bed alone. I looked at the clock and saw it was ten thirty. I got up and went downstairs to find my two guys in the kitchen making me breakfast.
"Good morning. Something smells good in here," I said as I kissed Carson good morning and then went up behind Edward to cuddle him from behind.
I rested my head on his back as he held my hands around him. He moved the pan off the cooker and turned around.
"Good morning my beautiful fiancée," he cuddled me and kissed my forehead.
"How are you feeling today?" he asked as he put the eggs and bacon onto plates and added toast.
"Okay. My head hurts a little but I don't feel as stiff. My chest is a little sore though. I'll take something for it one I've eaten this lovely breakfast." I replied.
I was told to sit down as I was served with my plate and some juice. He gave Carson his plate with some toast and fruit and his sippy cup and then sat down.
"I was thinking we could talk before we get invaded today. I've told everyone to come over after lunch, maybe after one." Edward started.
"Okay. What did you want to talk about?" I asked.
"I was thinking about what was going to happen once we get married. Where do you see us living?" he asked.
"I hadn't really thought about it. What were you thinking?" I asked curiously.
"Well I know that you love this house, as do I, but my house will be good to go soon and it has more room. I know we would have enough room here now but what if we have more children? My house we would have a room for us, one for Carson plus two spares. The other option would be to sell the two houses and buy something together or buy some land and build something." he answered.
He had obviously gave this a lot of thought.
"I think the best thing would be for us to move in with you. The house will be ready soon will it not?" I asked.
"It would have been ready just after new years but we can change anything you don't like or want different. I haven't ordered any furniture and I kind of sold most of my old stuff with my apartment in Seattle. We could use yours and add to it." he answered.
"We can talk about that later. When would you want us to move in?" I asked.
"I had planned to move in maybe around the third week in January but we can make it earlier or later whatever you want."
"How about this. We change one of the rooms for Carson and as soon as it's ready we move. I can put this place on the market once we move. I have one stipulation though."
"What?"
"I know that you've already paid for the house so I would like to buy any furniture we need and I want us to split every bill. I won't have you paying for everything."
"Whatever you want baby. We can sort out the details later. How about the wedding?" he asked with a grin.
"Well obviously we'll need to wait for your papers to come through. I would like something intimate, just family and close friends. I don't want a big over the top elaborate wedding. Do you think we could plan it ourselves without Alice?" I asked.
"If that's what you want that's what we'll do. I had no say in my first wedding and I hated it so it'll be good to have some input. When do you want to tell everyone?" he asked as he started to clear the table.
"Do you think we can hold of until we have some of the plans in place? You know the minute your mom and Alice find out they will be all over everything. Plus I should probably speak to my own mother at some point." I said quietly.
"We'll deal with that when you're ready. Why don't you go and shower and I'll get Carson ready."
I made my way upstairs staring at my ring and I couldn't keep the smile off of my face. I made my to the shower to get ready before everyone descended upon us.
