Chapter 16

The holidays flew by and soon enough, it was new years eve.

The Cullen house was filled with distant relatives, the number of which had grown over the holiday.

It had started with Grandma Cullen who had arrived on christmas eve.

Then on christmas day we were joined by Carlisle's sister, Aunt Sophie, her husband Uncle Grahame and three year old cousin Grace.

Esme's sister and her two children showed up a few hours later, followed finally by Carlisle's brother and his girlfriend who looked like she'd just fell off a catwalk.

Then gradually over the next week more distant relatives turned up with the intention with staying just the one night, however most of them were still here.

It had just gone 10 o'clock and currently the living room was crowded with the Cullen clan, dancing to music, drinking and just generally being loud and jolly.

I sat out of the way with Esme and Grandma in the kitchen, as they prepared canopes (how posh!) and poured more drinks.

'Are you sure you don't want one dear?' Grandma asked as she poured wine into a collection of glasses.

'No, no...I'm fine' I smiled, nodding to my orange juice on the table in front of me.

She nodded and proceeded to chug her own drink down in one.

I laughed as she poured herself another, winking at me.

I liked Grandma Cullen.

She'd hugged me liked she'd known me for years when we'd first met on Christmas eve.

She'd put thirty dollars in a card for me, saying, had she'd known I would be here she would have gotten me a proper present. I'd blushed as I told her I had nothing for her in return, to which she laughed and shook her head, telling me not to worry in the slightest.

She constantly asked if I was okay and told me how happy she was that Edward had finally settled with a lovely girl, grinning at us whenever we were together.

She had welcomed me to the family with open arms.

Jane Cullen also happened to be the coolest fucking Gran I had ever come across.

She had better fucking dress sense than me, she swore constantly and told the dirtiest jokes that made even Edward blush.

She played video games with Emmett (kicking his ass everytime might I add) and went sale shopping with Alice.

'Bella, would you be a darling and just take these through to the living room, my legs seem to have forgotten what they're supposed to do' she chortled as she wobbled towards me with the tray of drinks, spilling most of them.

'Sure' I giggled, sliding off my chair and taking it from her before she dropped the whole lot.

'You are a diamond' she grinned, patting my cheek.

I wandered through to the living room where the party was in full swing.

I carefully navigated my way through Emily, Kate and Lucy (who, if I remembered correctly was Carlisle's cousin's daughter) as they danced with three year old Grace, past Alice and Rosalie who were singing karaoke...badly. In between Emmett and Jasper having a drunken dance off on the Wii and finally squeezing round Grahame and Sophie who had their tongues down each other's throats.

I grimaced discreetly as I placed the tray on the coffee table, where it was quickly emptied.

I stood cheering on Emmett and Jazz as they shook there booty's to Beyonce, laughing when Emmett waggled his finger at him saying 'You can't touch this' very camply.

Jasper pushed him away lightly, but Emmett was drunk, and as he did so he stumbled backwards and...straight into me.

I tumbled back against the wall, bringing my hand up across my stomach protectively.

'Shit...oh shit Bella! I'm so sorry, are you okay?' he asked loudly as he steadied me with his large hands.

'I'm fine Emmett' I assured.

'But what about the ba...'

Suddenly a hand was clamped over Emmett's mouth, stopping him from saying anymore.

'Shut your big fucking gob!' Edward warned, slapping him round the head.

'Shit, right...sorry' he mumbled scratching as his head.

'It's fine' I smiled.

'Fuck off' Edward snapped, pushing his brother back towards Jasper who was still dancing away to his hearts content.

Edward took my hand and led me to the hallway.

'Are you okay?' he asked, taking my face in his hands.

'I'm fine Edward' I nodded, taking in his massive pupils, which meant he'd been drinking.

'You sure?' he asked, glancing behind him quickly before placing a hand gently on my stomach.

'Yeah' I smiled, patting his hand. 'Where've you been?'

'Mom made me go to the garage to get more beer in cause these animals have drunk it all already' he rolled his eyes.

'What are you kids doing out here?'

We both jumped and Edward quickly snapped his hand back.

'Not a lot Gran' Edward grinned as we turned to face Grandma Cullen who was leaning against the door jamb, no doubt using it to hold herself up, and spilling her drink all over the floor.

'Hmm...well if you wanna have sex please refrain from doing it in hallway' she cackled loudly.

'Gran!' We both exclaimed.

'What? I'm no prude, I just don't wanna see it is all!' she laughed before walking clumsily back to the kitchen.

'Your Gran is awesome' I giggled.

'Yeah' he smiled distracted as he glanced at my lips.

Drinking made Edward frisky.

He leaned down, pressing his lips to mine.

I responded, opening my mouth to him.

His tongue crashed against mine as he pushed me gently back against the wall and I groaned when he grabbed my ass and squeezed hard.

It had been so long.

I sighed into his mouth when the doorbell rang.

I bit his lip teasingly as he pulled away. He growled and cursed whoever was at the door loudly as he tore himself away from me and went to answer it.

I watched as he yanked the door open and revealed who was on the other side.

'What are you doing here?' I gasped, stepping forward.

'I want to talk' Charlie answered, glaring at Edward.

I hadn't spoken to my dad since the day he'd found out I was pregnant, and I wasn't planning on it now.

'I have nothing to say to you!' I snapped, stepping behind Edward and grabbing his hand.

'Please Bella...' he sighed his eyes softening.

'You heard her' Edward said curtly, pushing the door closed.

'Please!' Charlie pleaded, his hand shooting up, trying to prevent the door closing in his face.

Edward stopped.

'I want to apologise' Charlie declared.

'Fine...' I spat. '...as long as you apoligise to Edward first'

'And why the fuck would I do that?' he barked.

'You hit him!' I shouted. 'You hurt him and you had no fucking right!'

'He deserved it!' Charlie snapped.

'Leave!' I demanded, urging Edward to close the door again.

'Okay okay...' Charlie sighed, reluctantly holding his hand out. 'I'm sorry' he mumbled like a toddler being forced to say it.

Edward looked to me and then at Charlie's hand.

'I accept your apology Charlie...but I won't shake your hand' he said.

'Fine!' Charlie shoved his hand in his pocket. 'So...can we talk?' he asked awkwardly.

I rolled my eyes.

'Just say what you have to say' I said bluntly, walking back down the hallway.

I heard Edward sigh angrily as he reluctantly let Charlie in, slamming the door behind him.

We stood awkwardly.

'Can we have a minute?' Charlie barked at Edward.

Edward shook his head, wrapping an arm tightly round my waist. 'I'm staying'

Charlie rolled his eyes and rubbed at his temples before sighing and holding his hands out.

'Well...I guess...I wanna say sorry'

I cocked an eyebrow.

'I over-reacted I know, but I was just doing what I thought was best for you' he paused and looked up at me.

'And killing my baby is the best thing to do?' I snapped.

'It's not like that!' he countered. 'I don't want to kill anything...I'm just trying to stop you doing something...christ...something so fucking stupid Bella'

'Why?' I hit back. 'When have you ever give a shit about what I do?'

'Of course I give a shit!'

'No dad, you don't!'

'Thats bullshit and you know it' he thundered.

'Yeah?' I raised an eyebrow. 'So where were you when James attacked me? Huh?' I shrieked as Edward's arm tightened around me. 'Were you the one who stopped him? Were you the one who drove me to hopsital?' I spat as Charlie looked at his shoes. 'Were you the one who comforted me when I cried? Did you make me feel safe?'

'I was woking Bella! What was I supposed to do?' he defended. 'I didn't even know you were seeing someone!'

'That's because you're never home! I never saw you Dad!' I cried. 'You couldn't even stay with me for one fucking day!'

'I have a job!'

'I don't care! You should have been there! I needed you there Dad!' I swiped at the angry tears sliding down my cheeks.

Charlie said nothing.

'Well you know what?' I continued. 'I don't need you anymore...because you know who was there Dad?' I hissed. 'You know who did all of the stuff you were supposed to, even when we weren't even fucking speaking?' I inquired harshly. 'Edward! Edward was! It was all Edward!'

Charlie's eye twitched.

'So don't you dare stand there and tell me you only want what's best for me!' I snapped acidly. 'You haven't got a fucking clue!'

'Bella...'

'No!' I refused shaking my head. 'You have no fucking right to be so conde-fucking-cending when you've never given a shit before!'

'Thats not...'

'What's going on out here?' Grandma stepped into the hall, frowning at Charlie.

'What's it gotta do with you?' Charlie snapped.

'Don't fucking speak to her like that!' I snapped at him as Grandma Cullen walked towards us.

'Who is this?' she enquired, glaring at Charlie.

'Bella's dad' Edward answered when I didn't.

'Excuse me but this is a private fucking conversation if you dont mind' Charlie growled.

'Oh I mind' she narrowed her eyes at him before turning to me. 'Are you okay Bella?' she asked concerned.

I nodded.

'This has nothing to do with you!' Charlie snarled.

'Bella is my grandson's girlfriend, which makes her family...so in fact yes it fucking does' she shot back, poking him hard in the chest.

'And you're proud of your grandson getting my nineteen year old daughter pregnant are you?'

Grandma gasped.

'That's what I thought' Charlie sneered.

She turned to us and raised her eyebrows quickly.

My eyes welled at the thought of her being angry at me.

'I think you should leave' my head shot up, thinking she was talking to me, but she had turned back towards Charlie.

'I haven't finished'

'Yes, you have!' I snapped, turning on my heel and storming into the kitchen.

I ran my hands through my hair, tugging hard at the roots. 'Argh!'

It was time's like these I wish I could still drink.

Edward appeared a few minutes later, immeadiately pulling me into his arms.

'I hate him! I hate him!' I cried into his chest.

'I know baby, I know' he soothed, running his hands up and down my back.

My head shot up at the sound of the front door slamming shut.

Grandma Cullen entered the room soon after.

I smiled at her wearily.

She walked past us straight to her glass of wine on the counter. She downed all of it before turning to us.

'Wow, he's a bit of an asshole isnt he?'

I nodded.

'So what he said?' she asked.

'It's true' I whispered looking at the floor.

She sighed and I glanced up, expecting to see dissapointment on her face and definitely not the wide grin that spread across her lips.

'My darlings, that's wonderful' she beamed, strolling towards us, her arms wide.

She encased both of us in a hug, squeezing tight, before pulling back and frowning.

Here it comes.

'Though I am dissapointed'

My eyes darted back towards the floor.

'That I had to hear it from that dickmunch, no offence, and not you two'

'None taken' I laughed with relief.

'And honestly, I'm slightly relieved'

'Relieved?' I frowned.

'Yes, well I was getting worried you were a total bore when you wouldn't dance or have a drink' she winked. 'Ohh I'm so happy for you two!' she beamed, hugging us again.

Edward laughed and wriggled free.

'Well I dont know about you but I need a fucking drink!' he declared, diving into a cupboard underneath the centre counter, moving some stuff around and pulling out a bottle of vodka.

'Ooh the good stuff!' Grandma squealed, very Alice-like, snatching it from his hands.

When they'd had three shots each we proceeded through to the living room where the furniture had now been pushed aside and the space was now being used as a dancefloor.

The music had been pumped up and most of the Cullen clan were dancing.

Esme and Carlisle were closest to us, pulling off some pretty cool moves.

'Wow!' I gave them a thumbs up as Edward cringed.

Rosalie was grinding against Emmett, as Jasper spun Alice round the room.

Grandma Jane jumped in and started bouncing round the room, shaking her butt everywhere.

'Hey, wanna get out of here?' Edward whispered in my ear.

I turned to him and smiled, nodding.

I grabbed his hand and led him back through the kitchen and out the patio doors into the garden. I slid the doors closed behind us, shutting out the noise from the house.

Edward wandered over to a sun lounger next to the pool and sat on the edge, running a hand through his hair.

'Bella...can I ask you something?' he asked when I approached.

'Sure you can baby' I smiled, placing my hand on his neck and playing with the hairs there.

'I...I...fuck...I want a cigarette...' he looked up at me.

Edward always smoked when he was pissed off or had been drinking, though he'd refrained from doing so since I got pregnant.

'You can have one...' I laughed.'Just go over there' I pointed to the other side of the pool.

He pulled my hand from his neck and kissed it, before getting up and striding round the pool and sitting on the edge as I took his seat.

He rolled his jeans up to his knees and dangled his legs in the water.

I saw him cringe at the cold and laughed. I heard him chuckle as he kicked water towards me.

He leaned back on one hand and dug in his pocket, pulling out a packet of cigarettes.

He slipped one from the pack along with a lighter and left the rest on the side next to him.

He put the cigarette to his lips and inhaled as he lit it.

He took a long pull from it and closed his eyes as he slowly exhaled through his nose, tilting his head back slightly and smiling contentedly.

I had always loved watching Edward smoke.

It did things to me.

And he knew it.

He glanced at over at me as he took another drag, winking as he pursed his lips and blew out slowly.

I felt my cheeks warm as he smirked.

He smoked the rest, his eyes on me the whole time.

When he'd finished he dipped the end into the swimming pool, extinguishing it before throwing it behind him.

'That's disgusting Edward!' I shouted as he stood and walked back towards me.

'What?' he frowned.

'Putting it out in the pool! People dont wanna swim round in your ashes you dirty bastard' I slapped his leg when he stood in front of me.

He shrugged. 'Theres all sorts of shit in there' he told me as he climbed onto the chair and sat behind me, his legs either side of me.

He leaned his head on my shoulder and rested his hands on my thighs.

'Are you okay?' he breathed into my ear and the scent of smoke washed over my face.

'What? Yeah course' I frowned, turning slightly so I could see his face.

'I just mean, with the whole Charlie thing?'

'Oh yeah, I'm okay...' I shrugged. 'He's an asshole' I whispered.

'I know' Edward nodded against me. 'And he doesn't know what he's talking about Bella'

'I know' I nodded.

'He has no idea' he said tersely.

'Baby...' I swivelled round so I was facing him, my legs wrapped round his waist. I cupped his cheek and leaned my forehead against his. 'Please...don't let him get you angry...it's New Years Eve and I just...I don't want him to ruin it'

Edward sighed and nodded.

He placed a hand lightly on my jaw and tilted my chin up slightly so I met his lips.

He ever so lightly brushed his lips against mine, and I moved into him as he deepened the kiss.

I could taste the cigarette on him as his tongue slowly slipped across mine.

I moaned into his mouth.

He ran his hands lightly up and down my back as I tugged at his hair.

'Hey!' someone called as the patio doors crashed open.

Suddenly we were pounced on and as we were jolted I accidentally bit Edward's lip. Hard.

'Shiiiit!' he jerked backwards, hitting his head on the back of the sun lounger.

'Are you okay?' I gasped as I pulled him back up into a sitting position.

Alice, the pouncer, giggled.

'What the fuck Alice?' Edward snapped as he rubbed at his head and licked his lip.

I peered closer to see if it was bleeding. It wasn't.

'Sorry' she shrugged.

'What's up Alice?' I asked as Edward glared at her.

'I just came to tell you it's ten minutes to midnight' she grinned, pointing to her watch. 'Ohh Eddie, cheer up!' she pouted, leaning down and hugging him.

Edward couldn't help smiling as he pushed her off him. 'I'm cheered' he rolled his eyes.

'Are you coming in to watch the countdown?' she asked as she leaned her elbow on my head.

I glanced at Edward.

I didn't mind, but I would have preferred just to stay here and see in the new year, just me and Edward.

'Nah...we'll be in after though' he smiled at me. It was like he had read my mind.

'Boooring' Alice sung as she skipped away.

'You don't mind do you?' Edward asked once she'd gone.

I shook my head. 'I was thinking exactly the same thing' I smiled pecking his lips.

'Okay...wait here...I'll be two seconds' he held up two fingers before untangling himself from me and jogging to the house.

He reappeared a few minutes later with two glasses and a blanket.

He left the doors open and I could hear the distant noise of the party inside.

'Here' he handed the blanket to me.

He returned to his seat behind me, holding the glasses out of the way as I wiggled up the lounger so my back was against his chest and pulled the blanket up over us.

He lowered his hands and handed me one glass which was filled with orange juice as he took a mouthful from his own which was filled with beer.

'Thankyou baby' I smiled, taking a sip.

'Your very welcome' he kissed the side of my neck.

I leaned my head back onto his shoulder and sighed contently

'How long?' I asked quietly.

'Three minutes' he breathed into my ear. 'Three minutes until a new year of loving you more than ever'

I closed my eyes and smiled.

He pressed his lips to my cheek. 'Mmmm' he sighed.

We sat in silence for a moment before he spoke again.

'Two minutes' he whispered.

'Two minutes until the year are family starts' I smiled as his warm breath washed across my face.

Another minute passed.

He slipped his free hand round me.

'One minute...one minute until the year our baby is born' he flattened his palm against my stomach.

I placed my hand on top of his and slipped my fingers between his.

He squeezed them tight.

I could hear the faint sound of a countdown coming from inside and I turned so our noses were almost touching.

He grinned the crooked smile I loved so fucking much as our eyes met.

He glanced at his watch but quickly returned his gaze to me.

'Three...' he breathed.

'Two' he edged closer his lips brushing mine.

'One' our lips met, moving slowly as fireworks exploded above our heads and cheers erupted from inside the house.

He squeezed me tighter to him as he licked my lips.

I couldnt be any closer to him, yet it still wasnt enough.

I opened my mouth to him and met his eager tongue with my own, moaning into his mouth.

'I love you' he whispered frantically as he broke away and kissed every inch of my face.

'I love you too' I pulled his lips back to mine.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him as close as possible.

I felt him smile into the kiss and I couldn't help but do the same.

He bit my lip and pulled back.

'Happy new year baby' he grinned, his eyes twinkling as the fireworks continued to boom above us.

'Happy new year' I beamed, leaning forward and capturing his lips again.

He chuckled but responded eagerly.

We kissed until it was hard to breath properly and I had to reluctantly pull myself away.

Edward took my face in his hands gently.

He pecked my lips once, before leaning back and looking deep into my eyes.

'The beginning to the rest of our lives'
