Sunflower Fran is my beta!
14 Days Later
My heart is beating within my chest as I plate our breakfast. The small box in my pocket is practically burning a hole in my pajama pants.
The memory of the weight that lifted off my chest when Bella took her first breath after the fire repeatedly plays in my head fourteen days later. After that night I knew I needed to make her mine forever.
Some people will think it is too soon, but I know there is no other woman in the world for me.
My house has been a revolving door for our families to come and visit as they check on Bella. What could have been the worst event of my life changed me forever. I know without a shadow of a doubt that there was no other woman in this world for me, but Bella.
It's been fourteen glorious days since the fire, and even with the constant presence of one or all of our family members, Bella and I have still found time to express our love for each other. I smile, thinking about how many times it's been since she was cleared by the doctors ten days ago. Although she had no physical injuries, her body and her voice still needed to heal.
Bella was happy she was able to make it back to school for the last week with the kids, and I went back to work on my regular shift. I think I was driving her crazy with all my hovering, but after almost losing her, I couldn't let her out of my sight.
I've asked Bella to move in with me. Her apartment building is ruined; no one will be able to occupy it for months, if ever.
I walk up the stairs to our room with a wide smile on my face. Once I enter, I find my girl still asleep. The covers have fallen off to reveal her long sexy back. Her perfect plump ass is peeking out, and I'm instantly hard from the sight.
After placing the tray with our breakfast on the nightstand, I crawl onto the bed, placing open mouth kisses to her back.
"Hmm," Bella moans as she turns over, exposing her naked body to me.
I take a hard nipple into my mouth, looking up into her sleepy eyes. She gives me a sexy smile as I flick the pert flesh with my tongue.
My cock is hard, and I want nothing more but to take her right now, but the small box in my pocket reminds me I have a question to ask.
Pulling away, I kiss her lips. "Your breakfast is going to get cold." I groan as she palms my erection.
"I'm not hungry for food." She bites my bottom lip, sucking it into her mouth.
Her hand slips inside my pajama pants, and she starts stroking me from base to tip. I lose all thought as our tongues caress each other and her grip becomes tighter.
Kissing to her long neck, I suck the flesh into my mouth, thrusting as she twists her hand over the sensitive head of my cock.
"Oh God, marry me Bella," I moan.
All movement stops and Bella releases my cock.
"What?" she asks, turning to me wide-eyed.
I sigh out in frustration, burying my head in her neck.
I fucked that up royally.
I move from the bed and take a deep breath before I bend down on one knee, removing the velvet box from my pajama pants.
"Oh my God!" Bella cries, sitting up.
Her hands cover her face as tears begin to fall.
"Isabella Swan, from the moment I met you, I knew there was something special happening. It took me fourteen days to realize I loved you with all my heart. That was the day I almost lost you. That day was the single worst day of my entire existence. I never want to be without you, please do me the honor of becoming my wife. Will you marry me?"
My heart is beating fast as tears fall down my cheeks. I open the ring box to reveal the round diamond in a platinum setting with diamonds halfway around the band.
Bella gasps, her eyes wide as she stares from me to the ring.
It seems as if I wait years for her to say something but before I know it she launches her naked body at me, nearly knocking me to the floor.
"Yes! God, yes, Edward!" She peppers my face with a million kisses.
Laughing, I pull the crazy woman to me, taking her lips in a fierce kiss.
"I love you," Bella whispers against my lips.
I pull her naked body close to me, picking her up and lying her on the bed. My lips devour hers hungrily as she pushes my pajama pants down with her feet. We're desperate and hungry for each other as our tongues battle, my hands roam her curvy body, enjoying the feel of her.
"I can't wait to make you my wife," I whisper desperately against her skin.
Kissing a path to her lips, I kiss her hard as I line my cock up to her wet and waiting pussy.
"Fuck me, fiancé," she purrs out before biting my bottom lip.
My cock is aching to be inside of her. Pushing forward, I moan when I'm engulfed in her heat, wanting to be right here for the rest of our lives.
"God, baby, you feel so fucking good," I grit out as I start to move inside of her.
My hands roam her body as I kiss and suck on her neck. I take her deep and hard, enjoying the fact that I will be the last man to ever have her this way.
"Ahh, Edward!" she cries out, pulling me to her by the hair.
Kissing her greedily, I take both her hands in mine, holding them over her head as I pound into her wet pussy.
Her pussy tightens around me, and it's the best fucking feeling having her come undone around me.
"Fuck!" she yells while I practically lift her off the bed.
"Mine!" I growl like the fucking animal she makes me.
"Yours! Only yours!" she says as she stares into my eyes, causing me to come.
"Ahh, Bella!"
My body stills before I bonelessly fall beside her. Pulling her close, I take her lips with mine, enjoying how happy we are.
"We're getting married!" she squeals before she throws her body onto mine, officially forgetting about breakfast.
14 Months Later
Edward
I'm driving twenty miles in a forty-five-mile zone. I take another deep breath as a car cuts me off, holding their horn down. I'm nervous as hell because it's official, I now have precious cargo. Checking the rearview mirror, I look at Bella, and she rolls her eyes.
It's been a worldwind fourteen months, and I've never been happier in my fucking life.
Bella and I were married three months after I proposed in a small ceremony with just our family and friends. She was so beautiful that day dressed in a flowing white gown when we were pronounced husband and wife. I felt whole as I pressed my lips to my wifes It was the happiest day of my life until two days ago.
Ellen Page Masen came crying into the world at eight pounds and three ounces with Bella's blonde hair and little button nose. Bella was in labor for twenty hours.
Our family piled into the hospital with balloons and teddy bears excited to meet our baby girl.
We were only married a couple of months when Bella started feeling ill most days. Angela and Rose both had newborns by then and saw the signs of pregnancy quickly. To say I was surprised when Bella presented me with a large present and I opened box after box to finally reveal a positive pregnancy test is an understatement.
It was on our two-week honeymoon in Costa Rica that we decided Bella should stop taking birth control. We never thought we would get pregnant so quickly, but watching Bella grow with my child filled me with such pride.
"Really Edward driving the speed limit is not going to hurt us," Bella says from the backseat as another car speeds past me.
"I have precious cargo, Bella," I say, my eyes on the road as I get closer to our home
"Daddy's being silly, isn't he?" Bella says, making a baby voice to Ellen.
Daddy.
I'm a daddy.
My smile is wide as I finally reach our home. Our family is there waiting for us. I told them all they only had thirty minutes before I kicked them out so my wife and daughter can rest.
Turning off the car, I look up to see Rose and Carlisle holding their daughter, Charlotte, she's waving a chubby little hand at us. Angela and Emmett are among the group with their son, Bryson.
Getting out, I rush to open the door for my wife, helping her out of the car. Our mothers surround her as I go in for our daughter.
"Edward, bring my grandbaby in!" my mother says excitedly.
The house is covered with 'It's a girl' balloons, and there is a plethora of food on the kitchen island, and I'm glad we have such a great support system.
After the fire at Bella's apartment, our house became the central meeting place for our families.
Placing the car seat next to my wife, I watch as she removes our daughter from the small contraption. The sight of them together is still so fresh, and every time my heart skips a beat and tears pool in my eyes.
"Look at your cousin, Carlottte," Rose tells my soon to be one-year-old neice.
"Do you want a plate, baby? I know you're tired of hospital food." I smile down at her.
"Yes, I'm starving, and I know this one is going to need to eat soon," Bella says as she passes our daughter to her mother.
"Fatherhood looks good on you," Emmett says, slapping my back.
Ass.
"It does. I didn't think my little brother would grow up so fast." Carlisle hands me a plate.
"Love will do that to you," Jasper says, helping himself to a beer in my fridge.
"It will," I agree looking over at my wife and daughter.
Both of our dads are watching from the sideline with identical smiles on their faces.
"When will you be back to work?" Emmett asks, taking my attention from the front room.
"I'm taking a month off. Bella's not going back until January." I finish making my wife a plate.
The front door opens, and Alice comes in with her girlfriend, Irina. Yes, my little sister decided that she would like to be with a woman.
Irina is really nice and seems to adore the ground my sister walks on.
"We've bought more presents for my niece!" Alice yells, holding up the gifts in her hand.
"We had a field day at the mall! All the little girl clothes are so adorable!" Irinasays equally excited.
"Didn't those two just bring four bags of clothes to the hospital?" Emmett asks, shaking his head.
"Our sister likes to shop and apparently so does her girlfriend." Carlisle chuckles.
Walking over to Bella, I kiss her for head before handing her the plate. She looks up at me all smiles and twinkling eyes.
"That's how you two got this one," Esme says, looking down at my daughter.
"Speaking of kids, where are yours, upstairs?" I ask, noticing Seth and Leah are not around.
"You know they love the entertainment center. They like it here more than at home," Jasper says, sitting on the arm of the couch next to his wife.
"Bella, wait until you see what Irina and I picked out for Ellie." Alice pushes me out the way to get to my wife.
I chuckle and then make my way over to our fathers.
Dad pulls me into a hug. "I'm so proud of you Edward," he says with tears in his eyes.
"Thanks, Dad, they're my life," I say honestly as I watch Bella take out outfit after outfit.
"You move fast, I'll give you that," Charlie says, laughing at me. "One minute you're dating my baby girl the next you're married, and now I have a granddaughter, who's perfect." Charlie shakes his head.
"She is perfect." I take a deep breath my eyes again becoming misty.
Ever since Ellen was born, I seem to be crying nonstop. I guess tears come with being so damn happy. My eyes find my wife, and she's smiling ear to ear.
'I love you.' I mouth to her, causing her to blush.
'I love you, too.' She mouths in return.
Wiping my teary eyes, I sigh out in contentment.
I'm the luckiest man in the world, and it only took fourteen days for me to know it.
