Let me explain-make excuses- I have a shit ton of things going on right now. School, rehearsals, I just finished my entry for the Truly Anon Contest, and I'm preparing for a trip to Disney that I'm taking next week. I am SO sorry about the wait! The chapters pretty long though, hope you enjoy!

I woke up to Edward pressing light kisses across my shoulders, "Good morning, beautiful."
"Hi, baby." I whispered before turning onto my back and wrapping my arms around his neck, he pressed a chaste kiss to my lips before pulling backwards and taking me with him.
I looked down to find him not only fully clothed but dressed nicely. "What's that for?" I asked with a pointed look at his outfit.
"We've got a doctor's appointment in-" He checked his cell phone. "About an hour." I groaned and lay against his shoulder.
"Let's not go and say we did."
"How about we go and say we didn't." He smirked; I frowned and pushed away from him, flopping ungracefully onto the bed, face first. He patted my ass before standing. "Get up; we wouldn't want to be late right?" I mumbled noncommittally and he chuckled before making his way out of the room. He stopped in the doorway, turning back towards me. "Get up, Baby."
I pulled myself into a sitting position and gave him thumbs up, before shifting my legs over the edge of the bed. He nodded to himself and left the doorway, while I fell back onto the bed, curling into a little ball. I closed my eyes and drifted back into a light sleep.
Ten minutes later someone was trying to pull my nose off of my face while Edward, who sounded distant, grumbled. I batted the hands away and they retaliated by smacking my cheek really fucking hard. My eyes shot open and Edward threw some clothes onto my feet as he murmured into the cell phone. Seth knelt next to me, looking quite put out as he returned to disassembling my face.
"Child. Stop." I said groggily. Seth smirked at me before diving at my face, slobbering on my cheek affectionately. "So rough…" I whispered to him as his nose nailed my cheek during his kiss. His little fists wrapped around my shirt as he tugged me up.
"Up, Mama. Up!" I groaned and shot up, surprising him as I lifted him into the air above my head. He giggled at me and squirmed in my hands, forcing me to set him back in my lap. Edward snapped impatiently at me from the other end of the room and I stood, propping Seth up onto my hip as I made my way to him.
"Thank god you're awake." He huffed before tossing me my cell phone. "I've been trying to play BFF with Alice all day but two pregnant women at once are…" I furrowed my eyebrows.
"But I was sleeping…" He rolled his eyes and took Seth.
"Hurry and get dressed, you slept way too late."
"What are you talking about?" He showed me his watch and I realized it was forty minutes later.
"Oh shit." He nodded before snapping again and raising my phone to my ear.
"Is that normal? I don't think that it's normal. Maybe I should start wearing Depends…" Alice babbled on into the phone.
"If you are peeing on yourself this early in the pregnancy you're just too lazy to hold it. The real issue is when the baby wants to use your bladder as a trampoline." I said turning the phone onto speaker so that I could search though my drawers and re-pick out my outfit, while simultaneously wondering if Edward was severely color blind.
"Uh oh…" Alice said after a moment of silence. There was a heaving noise and a few plops before I bid her a goodbye and hung up. It was normally hard for me to see people throwing up; it often induced my own puke. My being pregnant made that feeling ten times worse though, I felt queasy just hearing her. Ellie darted into my room screaming.
"Daddy said hurry up or we're leaving you, woman! He said that he wouldn't ever like you again if you didn't come. And that you wouldn't be invited to his birthday party if you didn't come now. And that you would stink if you didn't rush and that you're a-" I raised an eyebrow as Edward ran up behind her, covering her mouth.
"I said to tell her we leave in five." He grunted in her ear. She just smirked at him and walked out of the room, taking Seth's hand.
"One day I'm going to be gone, Baby. I'm going to need you to take my place." She said as she walked slowly with him, he seemed to be hanging onto her every word as they left.
"Bella! Baby, come on…" He gestured spastically towards the door. "What are you doing?" He asked as I rifled through my drawers.
"Looking for clothes." He gestured to the bed where his choices lay discarded. "Honey, I can't wear stripes and paisley." I said frowning at the skirt Carmen had sent me to make up for the sweaters.
"So… Alice asked me when we were going to announce our pregnancy." He said as he watched me strip and pull on a pair of jeans.
"What?"
"Tell our families that you are pregnant." I blanched and almost fell over, trying to shove my foot into the pant leg.
Oh shit.
"Agh… Mom is going to be pissed that I didn't tell her earlier."
"Say you just found out." He shrugged as if that was the perfect answer.
"Or I can just not tell them at all." Edward raised his eyebrows at my suggestion.
"I think she'd probably be less angry if you told her now." I frowned and ran a hand through my hair, followed by a brush. Ellie skidded into the room with my cell phone in hand. She tossed it at me and missed by a long shot, nailing Edward in the back. His back arched and he gasped.
"Sorry, Daddy." Ellie said stoically before turning to me. "Ms. Esme called. She said that Carlizle-" I snorted loudly at her pronunciation. "Got sick and that your appointment will have to be pushed back." Are you kidding me? I go through all of this trouble to get out of bed on a Saturday morning and they cancel?
"Is she still on the phone?" I asked, Ellie shook her head. "You just took my call for me?"
"Aunt Alice called too. She wants you to come shopping with her. So you would have to take me too, right?" She asked with wide eyes, I shrugged.
"Sure, when?"
"Ten minutes." I rolled my eyes and went to sit back on the bed. My phone rang again and I answered it without looking at the screen.
"Hello?" Ellie jumped up on the bed behind me and started messing with my hair.
"Bella?" Riley's voice filtered through, I bit my lip and looked to Edward who was retrieving Seth from the door. "Hello?"
"Um…Yes?" I cleared my throat and he did too.
"I wanted to apologize." He said quietly. "I just couldn't… resist." Ellie tugged roughly on my hair, making me tilt my head back.
"I've heard that before." I grunted, he sighed.
"I mean it. I understand… if you don't want me around anymore." I held back from saying something unnecessarily bitchy.
"Oh I should be the least of your worries." I chuckled humorlessly. Edward turned toward me with a lifted eyebrow. "Hold on, honey." I said to Ellie before exiting the room.
"Bella, give me another chance." I lifted an eyebrow.
"Are you crazy? You realize this shit happened yesterday!"
"I just want you to forgive me."
"How do you expect me to do that, asshole?" I said my voice raising. "You lied! About me, to my husband! You were obviously trying to hurt my relationship with Edward and I don't… I can't forgive that."
"Bella, if you knew how I feel about you-"
"It honestly wouldn't change anything. Riley, I can't seem to make you understand that I love Edward. That won't ever change, alright?" There was a huff on his end.
"I just need to know when to come by. I left all of my clothes and-" He continued to babble in my ear and I peeked back into the bedroom, where Edward was playing go fish with Ellie. It would be best if he came while none of us were here, but I also didn't want to be alone with him. I couldn't handle myself, but I didn't want it to come down to that.
"Edward?" He looked up at me curiously and Ellie screamed go fish in his ear. "What do you have to do today?"
He shrugged; my attempt at being sly obviously was unsuccessful. "I don't know. Why?"
"I wanted to make lunch and dinner, was wondering what time you'd be home again…"
He pulled Seth into my lap and ran his hand through his hair. "I don't know…" He repeated. "I need to finish up some paper work for my testimony down at the office, I'll probably leave here at three, and get back around six." I nodded and walked into Ellie's room.
"You should come around four." I said quietly, there was a sinking feeling in my stomach but I ignored it, pushing it away.
"Thank you, so much, Bell." I nodded and rolled my eyes.
"Bye." He continued to thank me as I snapped the phone shut. I sighed and turned to see Edward standing in the doorway. His arms were folded over his chest and he gave me an unreadable look.
He tilted his chin at me, his gaze now focused on my phone. "Who was that?"
I stepped towards him pulling his arms apart and wrapping them around my waist, locking my fingers behind his neck. There was a little voice in my head telling me to lie, and say it was Alice.
"That was Alec." I said honestly. His jaw clenched and his hands gripped my waist pushing me back so he could meet my eyes.
"Why were you calling Alec?" I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair.
"He wants to come by and get his things, Baby." I shrugged, moving past him and through the door.
"The hell he will." He growled from behind me. "Fuck that." He scoffed. I fumbled with my hands and sat back down in front of Ellie, letting her finish my hair. There was a knock on the door and Edwards gaze shot to the floor.
I rolled my eyes, "Edward. Calm down. It's Alice." My point was proven once the door hit the wall and she called out to me. I turned to grab my coat and saw Seth dead asleep on the bed amongst the cards they were playing with earlier. "Ellie, go find your coat." She nodded and jumped off of the bed. I stood and turned to Edward with a raised eyebrow. I wasn't going to say anything in regards to his behavior seeing as Riley assaulted me just the day before, putting him on guard.
I wrapped my arms around his waist, pressing my lips into his neck. "Baby," I whispered, making him shiver gently. "calm down. I'll be fine." I looked up and met his eyes. "I love you." Alice's steps thundered up the staircase and Edward pressed his lips to mine tightly. I moaned quietly and wrapped my arms around his neck, tangling my fingers into the small hairs at the nape of his neck. I pulled back from him, "I love you, and he won't do anything to change that, if that's what you are worried about." I met his eyes and he sighed, burying his nose into my neck and hugging me tightly.
"I love you too."
"This is too cute." Alice deadpanned from the doorway. "But I need to get baby shit. So…" She thrust her thumb behind her and turned walking off. I pecked Edward's lips once more.
"You want me to take Seth?" He shook his head.
"He needs to sleep anyway-" He murmured looking to our sleeping little boy. "Go on." I nodded and darted towards the door, where Ellie was pulling on her coat in silence.
"What's up, kid?" I tapped her chin and she tossed me a grin.
"Nothing." That was never a good answer in Ellie terms. There was a knock on the door and I was hoping Alec hadn't jumped the gun. My eyes widened and I headed for the living room sitting on the couch, freaking out for a bit before deciding to answer the door. I realized Ellie hadn't followed me.
"Ellie, don't answer the door. Wait until I get there." She sauntered into the room.
"I wasn't going to answer the door." She plopped back into my lap as I attempted to get up. I picked her up by the waist and set her on my hip as I went to the door.
"You're getting heavy kid." I grumbled, she rolled her eyes and kicked her feet.
"No stop! Trust me what is on the other side of that door is ugly and disgusting."
"I can here you." Alice shouted from the other side of the door. I pulled it open and set Ellie down. Alice looked down to Ellie and mumbled, "Bitch say what?" Ellie rolled her eyes.
"Bitch say you owe me a quarter!" She cackled.
Alice kneeled down in front of Ellie and wagged her finger, "No, no. Babies aren't allowed to cuss."
"Mhmm well only one of us still wets the bed at night, and it isn't me." She poked Alice in the nose and I grabbed my purse up and took Ellie's hand as we headed to the car. Ellie tugged on my hand as I put her into her car seat.
"You shouldn't lock anyone out, Ellie. It's not nice."
"Since when do I have to worry about being nice?"
"Since you started getting such a smart mouth." I raised an eyebrow and she smirked.
"Okay. I won't lock anyone out without reason. Alice is a reason."
"You also need to worry about watching your mouth."
"What I say?"
"You said bitch earlier, Ellie." I pointed out.
"Oh no! I meant the dog…"
"I doubt it,"
"Don't expect the unexpected."
"What?"
"If you assume you only make a 'you-know-what' out of you and me."
"What are you talking about?"
"Bippity boppity boo."
"Don't appease her by talking back, Bella. I say you just hit her." I shook my head.
This is why I'll probably end up adopting her kid.
"Well see there's a difference between you and me. You're a bad person." I got into the car and took off down the road. We shortly pulled up in front of the grocery store.
"I second that!" Ellie squeaked.
"Well you shouldn't talk about your aunt like that." Alice scolded in her adult voice, which also resembled her trying-to-pass-a-kidney-stone-while-giving-birth voice.
"Daddy doesn't have a sister technically." Ellie snipped.
"Yeah," Alice turned to look at her, "But Mommy has a secret lover." She ran a hand up my thigh and I hit her in the arm, with the side of my fist.
We all exited the car and I pulled Ellie from her car seat. She skipped ahead of Alice and me.
"You need to watch what you say around her." I hissed at Alice.
"I speak nothing but the truth, lover." She said loud enough to make Ellie turn and look at us with wide eyes.
"I'm going to need you to not convince my kid that I'm cheating on her father." I shook my head.
"What so now you can't double up? I say you can have the best of both worlds. Wise words Miley. Wise words…"
"Yes, take advice from someone who can't be tamed."
"She so easy she should be Staples new advertisement character. Instead of a button that says 'That was easy' she could just say 'Miley Cyrus'." She doubled over in laughter and I frowned.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?"
"Oh many things child. Many things." She groaned. Next thing I knew we were in front of a case of condoms.
"You ever used a chick condom? That shit is… ugh…"
"I haven't. It looks like you haven't either." I raised an eyebrow and patted her stomach.
She rolled her eyes and looked back to the condom display. "You know what I hate? Seeing ugly children on television."
"Condoms make you think of children?" I wrinkled my nose.
"It depends on the circumstance." She shrugged.
"I bet you weren't thinking about children when you decided to forgo the condom."
"Haha this is funny. Let's make more Alice is preggo jokes. Fucking hypocrite." Ellie held out her hand and Alice collapsed into tears. I pushed down Ellie's hand and pulled Alice into my arms, attempting to soothe her.
There was a whimper on my left and I lifted an eyebrow, because there was a shelf to the left of us.
"Shh… If you shut up they might kiss." A young male voice hissed. I snorted and let Alice go while Ellie stood on her tip toes to see through the gap.
"And this is why they say girls are smarter." She bit; the boys must have hit their heads on the shelf because the boxes of cereal on the above shelf rattled.
I pushed Ellie to the side to peak at the peepers and smirked.
"Mrs. Masen?" It was the kid that Edward and I had seen in the mall, the day I was bugged.
"Ben." I lifted an eyebrow and he looked over to find his friend who was long gone.
He sent a pointed glance at Alice who was sniffling into her jacket sleeve. "So… How are you?"
…TEC…
An hour after the run in with Edward's old student we were headed to some French store where all they sold was overpriced baby crap. Alice wanted the best though, so who was I to judge?
"This is cute." Alice said holding up a pink onesie that said 'Daddy's Girl', she tossed it to me and I kinked an eyebrow.
"You don't know the sex of the baby…" She just pointed at me with a knowing look before tossing me a blue one that said 'Momma's Boy'. I shook my head and even though I wasn't buying anything I checked the price tag, purely out of habit. My jaw dropped at what I saw.
"You're paying fifty dollars for an onesie?"
"No. I'm paying one hundred for two." She said lifting up little clothes with an appraising eye.
"Okay, you must not realize how quickly children blow through clothes. Especially the young ones. Fifty bucks is just unreasonable for something the baby can wear for a few months." I got an unappreciative glare from the store clerk and threw one right back. Ellie came up and tapped me on my hip.
"Mommy could you get this for me?" She held up a frilly pink dress that was about fifty sizes too small, it looked like it would fit a toddler.
"What? Why?"
"So I can play dress up."
"Honey, that's a little small for you." I said softly as she held the small fabric to her chest.
"It's not for me silly."
"Well then who's it for?"
"Say me and see what happens." Alice grunted from behind me, I snickered and she glared.
"It's for dress up, Mother." She said widening her eyes.
"Who would wear it?" She bit her lip and slipped the dress into Alice's basket. "Ellie!" She turned around.
"Seth. But I think he would like it!" Her hands were clasped in front of her face and she slid onto her knees in front of me.
"No." I helped her to her feet and shook my head.
"Mommy, I thought you wanted me to like him."
"Dressing him in drag won't make you like him anymore, Ellie." I murmured before taking Alice's basket and checking price tags, she was going to run Jasper dry with this unnecessary spree.
"Mommy, its bonding."
"No. Put it back." She frowned and hung the little dress on the nearest rack. I looked down at my watch and groaned. It was three thirty and Riley was supposed to come by soon.
"Alice, I need to get going, Hun." She nodded and picked up all of the little unnecessary things that I had put back, checking out quickly. Once we were in the car Alice babbled on about the little outfits she had bought while Ellie called her names from her car seat.
"What's wrong with you?" Alice asked as we pulled onto my street.
"I invited Riley back, to get his things." I cleared my throat and she shrugged.
"So?"
"So, Edward kicked him out yesterday." My breathing was getting shallower as we pulled up to my house. I really shouldn't have done this… I was just asking for some shit to go down.
"What? Why would he do that?"
"Daddy said Riley was getting really handsy with Mommy. And that Riley was a dick. But not to repeat that last part." Ellie said as she stared out of the window. I stopped the car and unbuckled Ellie before bounding up the steps with her in tote.
"Bella! What did Riley do? I want details…" Alice said as if it were normal for me to be borderline molested.
"No! Are you crazy?" I entered my key but the chain was on the door, keeping me out. My eyebrows furrowed because you had to be inside the house to chain the door. The door was pushed back under my hands and someone fumbled with the chain. Before the door opened to reveal a fuming Edward.
Oh shit.
"Is this some kind of game to you?" He asked gesturing upstairs. I could understand that he still held something against Riley but my anger escalated.
"I just let him come back to get clothes, Edward." I gritted. "In and out." Riley appeared upstairs in the hallway visible to where we stood.
He looked bad.
His face was bruised, an eye swollen and his nose askew. Alice gasped from behind me and I scratched my cheek. He looked a hell of a lot worse than he had when he was leaving yesterday. Ellie pushed her way past all of us until Alec was in sight. It was completely silent as she darted up the stairs and hugged him tightly.
He knelt down and whispered to her before hugging her once more.
"What did you do to him?" Edward glared at Alice and me, before making his way into the kitchen. Alec and Ellie were on the bottom floor, in front of us, by the time I looked back.
"I really am sorry." He said softly, I nodded and then stepped out of his way, hoping that this was the last time he fucked everything up for me. There was a honk outside and two cars were in my driveway. Jasper and Emmett's. Alice hugged me once before following after Riley to her car.
Ellie cleared her throat before darting up the steps towards her room.
"Edward?" I headed towards the kitchen to see him drinking out of a coffee mug.
"I just don't understand…" He mumbled over the edge of his cup, leaning back in his chair. "Why don't you tell me these things? He kisses you and I have to walk in on it a second time to realize what had happened. Then I come home and he is sitting on my porch?" His eyes pierced mine and I frowned.
"I'm sorry."
"Apparently so was he. Didn't stop him from doing it again did it?" He was going all Daddy mode on me, using the controlled tone that he used with Ellie.
"Edward." I warned, my phone buzzed and I checked the screen discreetly.
I know things are tough now. I rolled my eyes at Alice's text and then it beeped with a multimedia message, which I once again checked.
But remember Make up sex is the best. There was a picture of a man's ass with a woman's leg wrapped around it, obviously in the midst of fucking. It would be like Alice to have something like that saved into her phone.
"Bella." Edward waved at me from across the room and I went towards him, pulling a chair up so that I was right across from him.
"We couldn't just hold his clothes hostage, Baby." I scooted closer and his arms flexed as he gripped his chair, pushing it away from me. I leaned over and ran my hands up from his knee to the top of his thighs, lightly running my thumb over his hardening member. He was easier to work up than little Ben Cheney. I smirked and ran my nose down the side of his neck.
"Bella. Damn it." He grabbed my wrist, placing my hands back into my lap.
"I said I won't do it again. Don't make me punch you." I threatened for no apparent reason.
"Bella-" I wrapped my feet around the legs of his chair, pulling my own seat up to his. I flicked open the button of his pants and looked over my shoulder, before hearing Ellie thump around upstairs. "We need to talk-"
"I hope it's not important. I don't think you'll remember it after this." I pulled his semi out of his pants and through the hole in his boxers, his head fell back against the chair and he groaned.
"You can't fight every fucking fight with sex, Bella." I shook my head and kissed his hardening dick, making the blood flow to it even quicker.
"Of course not, handsome." I wrapped my hand around him and kissed the tip. "Just this one." He groaned and I wrapped my mouth around him, running my tongue over the veins in his throbbing cock.
"No-Bella…" I deep throated him and gagged a bit making him moan loudly.
He relaxed in his chair, wrapping my hair around his hand, thrusting into my mouth. "Okay, just this one."
…TEC…
I hope you laughed and or enjoyed!
Should Bella have invited him back? What would YOU have done?
I honestly want to hear what you think… please review even though I've missed like two updates :(
But I still love you all and I will finish and write another story, regardless.
We've got maybe one or two more chapters left before the end!
I know you all don't like Edward and Bella fighting, so I try to end the chapters with the ends of their arguments. Riley won't be a menace anymore though and we will end on a happy note!
Let's attempt… 900? Yes! P.S. Every reviewer (that's not anonymous) will get the rest of the 'I'm pregnant' conversation! I just couldn't fit it in this chapter.
