Chapter 25 Part II
BPOV
The room that Edward had booked for us was amazing; It had a Jacuzzi tub, a fireplace, plasma TV's everywhere, and a view that you wouldn't believe.
Edward opened the door and the bell boy brought our bags in and left them in the bedroom. I saw Edward slip the man a tip and I caught a glimpse at the denomination; honestly did he just give the guy a $50?
I knew that we were going to have to have a talk about money, and I knew that it wasn't going to be pleasant. I can't stand the thought of having to depend on Carlisle and Esme for everything.
"What do you think Bella?" He asked snapping me out of my thoughts.
"It's beautiful Edward, but it must be so expensive, shouldn't we be saving money?"
He walked up behind me where I was standing at the window enjoying the view and wrapped his arms around me. "Bella, honey, what's your obsession with money?" "More importantly what is with your aversion to my spending it on you?"
"Edward, we have a baby on the way and I don't think that it's fair that Esme and Carlisle have to carry the financial burden for it."
"Bella, listen to me, Esme and Carlisle won't be. Yes, I live there, and though I have offered they refuse to let me pay rent." "Bella, I pay my own way, I even paid for my own college, even though they offered to do it for me." "When my parents died, they left me quite a sizable trust fund." "I am independently well off financially speaking."
"Really, why do you live at home then?" I was honestly curious.
"Bella, I live at home because I want to, not because I can't afford to be out on my own." "I love being close to my family."
"Neither you nor our child will ever want for anything, and that's on me not on my parents, do you understand?"
"Yes, thank you, I feel better now."
"Do you have any other questions or concerns, or can we get you into bed for a nap before we have to get ready to go?" He asked.
"A nap sounds wonderful" I admitted.
I had already kicked off my shoes and was half way to the bed; Edward crawled in beside me and held me until I fell asleep.
Sometime later he was waking me, explaining that we need to get ready to leave.
"Mmm, too comfortable, can't we just stay in and order room service?"
"Come on sweet girl, dinner will be nice, it's nothing fancy, just steaks with our friends and family."
I got up and was ready in just a few minutes, I just needed long enough to brush my teeth and hair.
Everyone else had already arrived when we pulled into the parking lot.
We were greeted with hugs by everyone, Esme and Alice begain asking me about the hotel.
"It's beautiful" I admitted.
"Really romantic, isn't it?" Esme asked.
I didn't want to respond to that.
Finally we were shown to our table, and dinner was amazing. The conversation was very light and friendly. We had a great time.
Carlisle announced that it was time to get on the road back to Forks, we all said our goodbyes and we headed back to the hotel.
"How are you feeling, love?" Edward asked me as we reached the room.
"Actually, pretty good." I told him.
"So do you want to watch a movie?"
"Sounds good" , I went to the bathroom and changed into a pair of pajama bottoms and a t-shirt. Much better.
When I walked out Edward was starting a fire in the fireplace. Wow, this is the life.
Edward quickly changed into some sleep pants and a wife beater and we climbed into the bed.
We started flipping channels and finally decided to order Black Swan, neither of us had seen it yet and I had heard that it was really good.
Not only was it very good, but it was pretty erotic.
"Edward" I began whimpering.
He must have been intentionally holding his body away from mine, because instantly he was on top of me, kissing me passionately, and hard as a rock.
"What is it sweet girl?" He whispered after breaking the kiss in order for us to be able to breathe
"Edward, I need you now, please."
"Bella, you have me, I need to you to really tell me what you want."
He then used his leg, to nudge mine further apart; he began trailing his hands down my body and began to tease me through my pajama bottoms.
"Uhm, Bella, so wet already, Christ I can feel you through your clothes. I think that you like watching others don't you?"
All I could do was moan.
"Answer me Bella, do you get turned on by watching others fuck?"
He was still teasing me outside of my clothes and I was squirming trying to get him to touch me without barriers.
"Yes Edward" I said through clenched teeth. I was really becoming frustrated now. Instantly he stopped touching me and pulled away from me.
I was about to cry now, oh God, did I repulse him? Was that too trashy for him? I was about to apologize to him when he bent down to kiss me and he said "Breathe Bella, and patience, I want you really worked up tonight, there are so many things that I am going to do to you. I just want to make sure that you're really ready."
"Ugh, Edward, I'm ready" I whined.
He just chuckled and said "I don't think that you're ready enough"
He then picked up the remote and began looking for something on the PPV menu.
"Edward, it wasn't over."
"Ok Bella, I can go back, but do you really want to lay back down and finish the movie?"
"Uh now that you mention it NO."
"Don't worry love, this movie is definitely being added to our collection, first stop tomorrow will be to buy it."
He got up and went to get something out of the bag, but he held it in a way I couldn't see what it was. He then came back to the bed and put the item(s) on the floor.
I guess he could see concern on my face when he said "relax Bella, I won't do anything that you don't want me too, all that you have to do is say stop, ok?"
"I trust you Edward"
"Good, now, have you ever watched one of these?"
He pressed order on another movie and instantly I knew it was porn; I began to blush and bite my bottom lip.
"No" I whisper.
"It's ok baby, watch it, there is nothing wrong with getting turned on by it."
"Do you watch it often?" I ask him, almost afraid of the answer.
"No love, very, very rarely, but something tells me I'll develop a better appreciation for it, watching with you."
After a few minutes, once the initial shock wore off, how did they get in that position anyway? I realized that Edward was right about me, I was getting more and more turned on by the minute.
I began writhing against his leg, looking for some relief.
He reached over and began to undress me, beginning with my shirt and then very slowly sliding my pants and panties down.
"God Bella, you're so fucking beautiful," "Do you trust me love?"
"Of course Edward, with my life?"
He then reached down and pulled one of the items from the floor; It was then that I got my first look at it or rather them.
He had four very soft looking silk scarves He raised my arms and gently tied each one to the headboard, and then repeated the process with my ankles.
"Is this ok love, they're not hurting you are they?"
"No not at all" I assured him. "But I can't touch you" I protested.
"That's sort of the point, Bella." He said with a smirk.
He propped my head up on the pillows so that I could still see the t.v., he rolled back over to his side and said "keep watching it love."
He then started teasing me lightly with his fingers, trailing them up and down my body, touching me everywhere but where I needed him to.
"Gah Edward" He's killing me now, and I'm so wet that fluids are running down my thighs.
He has my legs tied far enough apart that I can't give myself any relief and I'm beginning to think that the word for the night is going to be torture.
"Something wrong love?" He asked with that smirk still on his face.
"No" I squeaked, the bastard knew that he was killing me.
"No huh, then you won't mind if we drag this out a bit longer will you?"
"Edward" I wailed.
"What do you want Isabella?"
"I I I want…"
"Yes?"
He then started sliding down my body and began lapping at the juices running down my thighs.
Ugh, yes"
Once he was through with one side, he positioned himself so that he would have access to the other, pausing only briefly to blow a puff of warm air against my already overheated core.
"Edward, please taste me." I begged.
He chuckled and said "that's all you needed to say love."
He had left enough length on the scarves that were holding my ankles so that I could bend my legs and he helped me do just that.
Then he attacked me with his mouth.
"Fuck Bella, you taste so good." "I have been wanting to taste you all night."
"You too Edward, please, I want your cock in my mouth now."
I guess that did it, he sat up quickly and began to untie my wrists and ankles; taking time to rub any soreness out of them.
He rolled me over onto my side and turned his body around so that he could resume devouring me.
We were perfectly aligned so that I could easily take him in my mouth also.
Hmm, I like this, we had never done this before.
"What do you think Bella, should I let you cum now?" He asked while circling my clit with his thumb.
I couldn't answer his because my mouth was currently very full and I wasn't letting go; So I began thrusting my pelvis and moaning, hoping that would let him know.
He took the hint and inserted two fingers deep inside of me, hitting my sweet spot every time he pumped them.
"OH God" I moaned around his cock and began thrusting harder against his hand, at the same time he started thrusting into my mouth; holy fuck, he's fucking my mouth.
"Now Bella" he roared as he came, bringing me with him.
"Jesus Bella, you're going to be the death of me" He sighed, pulling my head to rest on his chest.
The movie was still on and I'm pretty sure that Edward was about to turn if off, but something that they were doing caught my attention, damn you would have thought that it would have been Edward that would have been so fascinated by this act; I have no idea why I want to try it so much, truly it's kind of disgusting but still….. I couldn't help the moan the escaped my lips and the juices started flowing again.
"Seriously Bella, are you sure about that?" "You're not wanting to do that for me are you, because I'm not that interested."
"Oh you don't want to, don't worry about it." I said.
"Bella baby, I want you to experience everything that interests you; I just need to know that this is about you and not me."
"Edward this is for me, if it doesn't work, then I know, but I would like to try."
"Ok sweet girl, what you want you get."
He started rolling over onto my side and then he pulled a tube of something out from where he had laid it on the floor.
"Wait Edward, first I need to know why you don't want this."
"Because Bella, it's going to be painful and the thought of causing you that kind of pain, just kind of turns me off, I'm sorry."
"But it hurt when I lost my virginity too, and I was fine after a minute or so."
"Bella, I don't think that you quite understand, this will be a whole different kind of pain."
"Ok Edward, I get it and I love you for it, so let's agree to try sometime, but not until we find a way that you will be more comfortable with."
"Thank you love." He said while kissing me on top of my head.
He turned off the tv and we just laid there for a while, holding each other, talking about some of the events of the day, talking about our worries for the future, discussing my fears of telling Charlie.
"Bella, I will be with you, I promise you that you aren't going to face him alone."
"I know but he's going to hate me."
"Bella, he's your father, he's going to be disappointed sure, but he couldn't hate you."
"What if he arrests you?"
"Bella, baby, he can't, you're past the age of consent, legally there is nothing that he can do to me."
"What if he won't let me see you anymore?"
"Bella, that's not for him to decide, he can't stop you, I don't want to make any more trouble for you than I already have, but I won't leave you or our baby, you're the two most important things in my life now."
I really wanted to make love again but suddenly I was exhausted; I got up to get a bottle of juice out of the fridge and brought Edward a beer; I had not even finished half of it, when I put the bottle down and passed out.
I woke up the next morning with a wave of nausea, Edward was sound asleep laying half on top of me; I wiggled my way out from underneath him, trying my best not to wake him, and barely made it to the bathroom before I began vomiting.
"Bella, are you ok?" So much for not waking him.
"Yeah I'll be fine." I said after rinsing my mouth.
He handed me a bottle of Pepsi and a package of crackers and said "Mom said that this will help." He took my hand and led me back to sit on the bed.
A few minutes later I was feeling better and we got up and took a shower before checking out of this beautiful hotel.
I really hated leaving because I knew that real life was about to intrude on the happiness that I was feeling.
"Hungry love?" Edward asked after the valet brought the car back to us.
"Believe it or not, no." I answered.
"Well, there are a couple of errands that I want to run while we are here if you don't mind."
We pulled out of the parking lot and into heavy Seattle traffic. It was raining of course and I was still feeling kind of tired.
A few minutes later we pulled into a Best Buy and we went in to pick up a copy of Black Swan and we also chose a few other movies that we both love. He also bought two Macbook Air's. I must have looked at him like he was crazy.
"Relax Bella, they're Christmas presents." He chuckled.
About a half an hour later we were outside of another building, the sign simply said Kalie's and nothing more.
"Bella, I want to run in here for a few minutes, but I have to ask you to stay in the car."
"Why Edward, I know that you bought my present yesterday, I could tell by the look on your face, don't tell me that you're getting me something else."
"No Bella, it's not a Christmas present, it's just…" He was beginning to look embarrassed.
"Just what Edward?" "It's just that you're not quite old enough to go in here." He was bright red now.
"Oh, uh, oh ok." It was the only thing that I knew to say.
"I won't be long, I'm sorry."
Hmm, now I wonder what they carry in this store?
About 10 minutes later he was back carrying a brown paper bag that he quickly put in the trunk.
"So what was all of that?" I ask.
"We'll explore that later, now I want to feed you and our baby, if you don't mind."
It was close to noon and as soon as he mentioned it, I realized that I was starving.
He drove us to this nice deli, inside I could smell a variety of soups and I had to have some. The day was perfect for it.
Edward and I both had loaded potato soup in bread bowls, it was amazing.
"I wonder if they deliver to Forks" I said jokingly."I could probably buy a franchise and set it up there" he joked back, or at least I hoped that he was joking.
After I was stuffed and Edward bought me a couple of cookies for the road; just in case he said, we were on our way back to Forks.
I slept the whole way and I didn't want to think about his driving, because it seemed that we made record time.
After Edward grabbed everything out of the trunk we were greeted by everyone, of course Angela and Ben and Jake and Nessie were gone.
He took all of the bags upstairs and I joined the rest of the family in the family room.
"Now that everyone is here it's time to get started" Alice squealed.
"Get started on what Alice?" I asked.
"Time to put up the Christmas tree of course." "Every year mom bakes her famous cookies, and we turn on Christmas music and everyone helps decorate the tree."
That's what I was smelling, homemade cookies yum. Then I began wondering if Charlie even owned a tree or decorations.
We were all having a wonderful time, the cookies were amazing and so was the hot chocolate. We had just about finished decorating the tree and we were about to light it up, when Alice walked up to Edward and I.
"Every year we buy one new ornament for the tree, but this year we thought that it would be more fitting to buy two."
She handed one of them to me and the other to Edward.
Mine was a gold teddy bear with the words Baby Cullen, 2012, engraved on it. Oh my gosh, here come the tears again. I showed it to Edward and I almost thought that he was going to cry too.
Then he showed me his, it was of two angles standing together and was engraved to say: Bella and Edward our first Christmas together. 2011
"Do you like them?" Alice asked sweetly
"They're perfect Alice, thank you." Edward said sincerely.
"I love them" I told her giving her a hug after Edward was through.
Edward found two branches together so that they could hang with each other. "There just the way that they should be." He said.
I was crying uncontrollably now; "Good night everyone, I think that I need to get her up to bed."
Esme and Carmen just looked at me sympathetically, Carlisle gave Edward a look as if to say go take care of her. Everyone else just wished us a good night.
"What time are you leaving tomorrow?" He asked the Denali's.
"Around 10:00 I think," Carmen said.
"We'll be up and will see you before you go." Edward told her.
"You'd better" Tanya laughed.
After we were tucked safely away in Edward's room, he looked at me with concern "are you ok now love?" "Yeah I'm fine, it's just my hormones are going crazy and everything that your family has done is so sweet." "I just can't seem to keep myself under control."
"Edward, I'm so scared about tomorrow" I confessed.
"I know love, it's going to be ok though, one way or the other, I promise."
"It's not just Charlie, though I am terrified of how he's going to react, it's also about having to leave you and your family, I have never felt so loved and safe in my life." "I don't want it to end."
"You are loved and we will protect you with everything that we have Bella, you are part of our family now, and it will never end." He assured me.
"No I meant, I don't know how I'm going to be able to leave you tomorrow."
"My offer still stands love, we want you here Bella."
"I know" I sobbed unable to help myself.
I cried myself to sleep, the sun was shining when I woke up and Edward was laying next to me running his fingers through my hair. Somehow he had managed to undress me last night without waking me. I could feel the tears stirring again.
"Good morning beautiful" "Baby please don't cry, we'll figure out something." He said while handing me a cold Pepsi, "here drink this before you try to get up, mom said that is the key."
"I'm sorry Edward, I didn't mean to ruin our last night together."
"Bella, I was with you, you could never ruin our night." "You needed the rest, you're under so much stress right now, please baby it's ok."
I drank the soda and got up to go shower and brush my teeth. We needed to get downstairs to see the Denali's off.
Edward held my hand down the stairs and in fact he didn't let go of me until it was time to say goodbye to everyone.
"Bella, it was so nice to meet you" Tanya said. "Please keep me posted as to how things are going and you'd better call when you find out what you're having." "I have shopping to do, you know." Yep I can tell that she and Alice are related.
"We promise" I told her and giving her a second hug.
We watched outside as they pulled out of the drive; "Come on Bella, you need food."
"Honestly Edward, I'm not feeling well right now, I'll just make some toast." I said.
"No butter" Esme said.
A few minutes later Edward's cell phone rang and he looked shocked to see who was calling.
"Hey Jake" Why is Jake calling him?
Edward just looked at me and answered him "probably around 3:00 or so."
"I see, why?" Boy I sure wanted to know what Jacob was telling him.
"Ok, see you then, and thanks." With that he hung up; "What was that about?" I Ask.
"Jacob wants to meet us at your house, he wants to be there for moral support for when we tell Charlie."
"Really?" I asked looking confused. "Just support Bella, that's all." I had a feeling that wasn't the case at all.
"Baby, I'll be back down in a few minutes, there's something that I need to do upstairs, ok?"
"Well what's with the cryptic all of a sudden?" It didn't take me too long to find out.
A few hours later I had packed everything and Edward had loaded it all into the car. I said tearful goodbyes to everyone, thanking them for all of the love and support that they had given me and also taking care of me the other night.
Esme and Carlisle gathered me into their arms and told me that I was welcome at their house, anytime I needed to get away or if I needed a place to stay. "Never feel like you don't have choices Bella, this is your home too."
Alice and Rose came up to me and they both hugged me and promised to see me soon.
Jasper hugged me and told me to relax and that I would be fine.
And Emmett being Emmet hugged me and said if Charlie gave me too hard of a time to call him and he would take care of it for me. But when he said that I saw that he was giving Edward a strange look.
Much too soon we were at my home and I saw the cruiser in the driveway. I suddenly felt sick.
Edward and I waited by his car for a few minutes until we saw Jacob's VW Rabbit pull up behind Edward.
"Hey guys" he said calmly.
"Hey Jake, what are you doing here?" I asked him thinking that I might get a better answer than Edward gave me.
"Uh, well, I just thought that you two might need the support and since I know Charlie so well, it might as well be me right?"
"Um, sure I guess, are you sure that you want to see this though?" I asked.
"Hey what are best friends for, Bells?"
Just then Edward got a text message, he quickly read it and said "come on baby, let's go inside and get this over with." "Edward, I need to get my stuff out of your car." "Bella, let's just wait to see how this goes first." he said and then grabbed my hand, pulling me towards the door.
I unlocked the door and we walked in, Charlie of course was sitting in his recliner with a beer in his hand.
"Hey kids, Jake what are you doing here?" His speech was a little slurred and I could tell that this wasn't his first beer of the day.
"Dad, we need to talk to you" I said while biting my lip.
"What's going on kid, you look like you just lost your best friend."
"Uh well dad, do you remember when I got that sinus infection a few weeks ago?" "Sure, what's the matter, you're not sick again are you?"
"Well no, it's just that….."
"What she's trying to say Charlie is that Dr. Clearwater didn't tell her that antibiotics counteract another medicine that she was on, so that it wouldn't work anymore." Edward offered.
"What other medicine are you on Bella?" He was looking worried now.
"Uh uh,…" I was so tongue tied now.
"Charlie she was on the pill." Edward said. Thank God for him.
"What do you mean was?" He was shouting now.
Jake stepped up this time, "She's pregnant Charlie."
He didn't say anything for a minute and then he snorted out; "Well the bitch taught you well didn't she?"
"Charlie, don't say something you'll regret" Jake warned.
"What did you mean by that" I asked, I was getting angry now.
"Looks like the student surpassed the teacher though didn't she; You're mom trapped me by getting pregnant with you and now you've gone out and trapped some unsuspecting guy like Edward." "Except you went for money, when she didn't have the common sense to."
"Charlie, don't talk to her like that, I'm warning you." Edward said.
"You're warning me?" "Maybe I should have been the one to warn you and your poor family, I should have known that she would have done something like this."
I must have looked like he hit me, I couldn't believe the things that he was saying about me and mom for that matter.
"Well Bella, you better get your ass on the phone and tell her to buy you a plane ticket, you need to go back to Phoenix or Jacksonville or wherever her ass is now."
"I'm not going back to live with mom." I said bravely.
"Well I'm not supporting you or this bastard kid either."
Edward jumped and was about to hit him when Jacob pulled him back. Oh so this is why he decided to tag along.
"You can kick her out if you want Charlie, in fact I hope you do, but you can't make her leave forks." Edward said.
"What are you going to do saddle yourself with her and the brat, hell, how do you know that it is even yours?" "For all you know she had been whoring around before you even met and when she got pregnant she thought you would be the best target to trap?""Charlie, I'm going to warn you one more time, you need to watch what you say."
Then Edward picked up his phone and dialed a number, all that he said was "get in here now."
"Jake how many times did she let you fuck her?" "Hell you may be the daddy for all we know."
Just then Emmett burst in the door and pulled Edward away from Charlie.
"Charlie, Bella and I have never been together, Edward was her first and only." Jacob said.
"So she says."
"Why are you talking about me like this, you know me better than that?"
"You're just like her." "She did the same thing to me." "Now you're going to saddle Edward and his family with the burden of your mistake."
"First of all Charlie, I'm just as responsible for the baby as she is."
"Well you're a guy, guys are going to do what they do, but she was being a slut."
"Don't you dare call her that" It was taking Emmett and Jacob to hold him back now.
"So what you're saying dad, is that it's ok for guys to have sex, but not girls, who the hell are they supposed to have sex with?"
"Sluts, Bella, that's who guys fuck, but not the girls that they marry, guys like Edward deserve a lady, not a whore."
Emmett stepped forward now, "Say it again Charlie, call your daughter a whore and I'm going to kick your fucking ass."
I was hysterical now, I was screaming and crying, I couldn't breathe.
"Edward, dad said that this ready to go, just shoot it in her arm." It was another syringe , probably the same stuff from the other night.
"What are you going to do now Bella?" "How long do you think that the Cullen's will let you mooch off of them?" "When they get tired of you where are you going to go then?"
Edward had given me the shot and I was beginning to breathe better.
"Charlie she will not be mooching off of my family, they love her like she's their own and she is welcome to live with us if she wants" "If she doesn't want to I am more than capable of supporting her and our baby." "I will be happy to buy us a house tomorrow."
"Edward, why do you still want to be with her, shit, you're a good looking enough guy, you could probably have your choice of classy ladies, why would you tie yourself down now?"
"God damn you, I never knew that anyone could be this cruel, especially to their child, you just don't get it. She is my choice, she and our baby are my life, I've never wanted anything more."
"Bella baby, is there anything in your room that is irreplaceable?" I ask her.
My Ipod, all those clothes that Alice bought me, my laptop."
"Bella, clothes, makeup, jewelry, bags, shoes, computers are all replaceable, We'll go shopping next weekend and replace it all, you don't need to be here a moment longer, Jake can you go up to her room and get her Ipod?"
"Yeah on my way, I'll grab her laptop also." Jake said.
"Edward I need clothes to go to school." "You've got a suitcase full in my car, that will do for the week."
Edward and Emmett stood between me and Charlie, I knew that he still felt angry about what happened between he and Renee, but I never thought that he would take it out on me.
Jake came running down the stairs with my Ipod, laptop and my photo albums. "Here Bells, I thought that you might want these too."
"Thanks Jake, I love you, you know." "Back at ya Bells."
"See what I mean Edward, she's standing with you, carrying what you assume to be your baby and telling another guy that she loves him, what does that tell you?"
"It tells me that despite all of your shit, she is the most loving and wonderful person that I have ever met."
"Come on baby, let's go home." Edward said putting his arm around me.
"You know Charlie, one day you will regret this." Jacob said, "and when I tell dad and Harry how you acted today, you won't have a single friend left in this world."
"You know" Emmett added "One day you're going to want to know you're grandchild and I hope that they won't let you near it." "Don't ever let me hear you say something about Bella or my niece or nephew again, I will make you regret it."
Jacob and Emmett then followed Edward and I out of my old house.
I was crumbling now, Edward picked me up and carried me to his car; I really didn't think that I could walk. Jacob walked over and gave me my things and then Emmett said "Jake and I are going to follow you home, just to make sure that you don't have any police harassment."
A/N
Thanks again to all of you that take the time to review or to favorite or add this story to alerts. I'm really grateful.
Ok I hated doing what I did with Charlie, but he has so much resentment towards Renee, when he heard the news, it was like his life flashing before his eyes.
Oh and so sorry for the delay; I got a new kitten and she likes to run across the keyboard when I type, so it took about three times longer than it normally would, oh and because of that we're going to say that the typo's are hers. Also it was by far the longest chapter yet.
