Chapter 32

Finally, Real Happiness

BPOV

One Year Later

"Hey there mommy's beautiful little princess, what's all the fussing for, huh?"

You guessed it, another girl and just like her sister she's a hell raiser demanding all the attention these days. As I sat down on the couch in the bridal suite at St. Anne Parish to breastfeed our newest addition to the Cullen family, Demi Cullen, I looked around and thought about how much my life had changed over the past two and a half years and my eyes welled up with tears.

Today is Alice and Jasper's wedding day and I am giving our little one a feeding before Edward and I have to walk down the aisle. I am Alice's Matron of honor and Edward is one of Jasper's groomsmen. Rose, who is now eight months pregnant with their first girl, refused to walk down the aisle and of course Emmett is the Best Man and Angela is her bridesmaid.

Edward and I have just moved into our new home in Forks and he took the position at Forks hospital that Carlisle offered in the pediatrics department. Our home in Seattle is still on the market and we are hoping to get it sold soon, but this market hasn't been the best. We still have our condo in New York so when we are in town for the bookstore we can have some where to stay and relax for a few days if we want. Our new home is not as big as our home in Seattle square footage wise but it has four beds rooms and two baths, and a cozy family room. The living room and dining room are not as big, but we do have more space in our bedrooms.

Edward and I have learned to share the responsibility of having three toddlers and a newborn and how to take time for ourselves by allowing our family to help out. Esme and Carlisle have been great and very supportive with making sure as young parents we do not get overwhelmed.

"Love, it's almost time." Edward said bringing me out of my reverie.

"Okay, she should be just about done and then I can put my dress on."

"I'll send mom in to hold her while you get dress."

"Thanks sweetie"

I looked down to discover that during my reminiscing, Demi had fallen back to sleep without me noticing. There was a light knock on the door and in came my mother in law looking as beautiful as ever.

"There's my precious granddaughter, come to grandma darling" Esme said reaching out her arms for Demi. "And you my sweet daughter go get dress" she said kissing my cheek.

"Thanks Esme I won't be long"

As I stood in the mirror and stepped into my dress, Edward's reflection appeared in the doorway and he was sporting that crooked grin that still caused my hormones to rage. He looked so sexy in his black tux as he slowly walked up behind me, sweeping my hair off my neck to one side and placing soft kisses on the back of my neck.

"Need a hand?" he asked as he zipped the back of my dress up for me before spinning me around in his arms and holding me by my waist close to him.

"Have I told you how beautiful you are today and how much I love you?"

"Why Mr. Cullen I do believe you have, but by all means please repeat yourself."

"Mrs. Cullen, you look simply ravishing in that dress, and anything else you put on for that matter." He said in a voice so seductive I could have had an orgasm right then and there.

Clearing my throat I stepped back blinking a few times to regain my composure.

"If you don't stop we are not going to make it down that aisle for Jasper and Alice." I said with a nervous chuckle. After all this time, he still caused me to blush like no other.

Placing another lingering kiss to my forehead, he swatted my behind before turning on his heels to leave the dressing room.

"See you on the dance floor gorgeous" he said giving me one of his signature winks.

"I'll be the one looking at you all dreamy eyed" I said laughing.

As I turned to look at myself in the mirror one last time, a wave of emotions hit me. I had lost a lot in the past almost three years but, I had also gained so much more. I watched my parents live on through me and through their grandchildren. I have an amazing husband and four adorable children, a beautiful home and a loving family. I couldn't ask for a better cousins than Emmett and his wife Rosalie, better in-laws that Carlisle and Esme and better friends than Jasper and Alice.

I quickly blinked back the tears forming in my eyes as to not mess up Rosalie's make up job or she would kill me.

"Bella, they're ready to start sweetheart." Esme said giving me a motherly smile.

During the ceremony Esme kept Demi with her while Carlisle and Rosalie kept Edward, Jr., Ethan and Bianca sitting between them. To my surprise, Edward Jr. was the only one to stay awake during the ceremony.

OOOO0000OOOO

The reception was full of music, laughter and lots of alcohol that flowed all night, but luckily no one got out of hand.

"A penny for your thoughts beautiful" Edward said leaning forward and whispering in my ear sending shivers all through me.

"I was just remembering when this was us celebrating our wedding vows and dancing around in total bliss, except I was nowhere near as graceful as Alice with me being seven months pregnant with the triplets." I said chuckling.

"You were heartbreakingly gorgeous that night and I can remember thinking to myself, how did I get so lucky to get you to fall in love with me." Edward said running his nose against my cheek.

"Are you trying to get lucky tonight Mr. Cullen?" I said turning and giving him a small smile.

"I'm lucky any night that I can call you mine." he said kissing me behind my ear which drove me nuts. "Want to get out of here for a while?"

I quickly scanned the reception hall looking for my four precious children. Demi was fast asleep in her car seat next to Jessica and Jake, which as a new born that's what she did a lot. Carlisle was bouncing Bianca on his knee as she squealed in delight and Esme and Emmett had Tyler, Cody, Ethan and Edward, Jr. on the dance floor with a few other kids dancing around the bride and groom. Alice and Jasper looked so happy and carefree.

"Yeah, let's go for a walk" I said smiling at him.

It was a clear fall night with a light breeze, which is rare in Forks in October and we walked outside to the gazebo that sat next to a beautiful garden outside the reception hall.

"Are you cold?" Edward asked removing his jacket and throwing it around my shoulders.

"Just a little" I said sitting down on the bench in the gazebo.

"It's a beautiful night; I wish it was always like this in Forks."

"Tell me about it, nights like this make me miss New York and Central Park." I said gazing up at the sky.

"If you could, would you move back there?" He said looking at me intently.

"Only once the kids were much older and on set school schedules, but I would miss the family."

"We could always go back once Demi starts first grade." He said scooting closer and wrapping his arms around my waist pulling me against his chest.

"I wouldn't want to keep making you relocate your job and Carlisle and Esme would be devastated if we took their grandchildren so far away from them."

"Yeah, I think you're right they have grown quite attached to them."

"Plus once the kids are all in school, I've thought about starting up my tutoring service again part-time and maybe volunteering at the local grammar school a couple of days a week."

"That sounds great, how long have you mulled that one over?"

"For a couple of weeks now, it's just a thought, but I think I would really enjoy it"

"I do too, hey how do you feel about a weekend away just you, me and the kids. I've been working so much lately I barely see you guys and when I do it's to kiss you all goodnight. I found a place in Port Angeles that caters to family entertainment for all ages and they even have a gigantic playroom for toddlers where they can build with blocks, climb, jump and run and everything is padded for safety. I think the triplets would have a ball and we can have some family bonding time."

"I think that's wonderful Edward, when can we go?' I said sounding like a kid myself.

"I'm off next weekend and I thought we could go then."

"Okay, I can't wait, thank you Edward." I said turning around to kiss him and as I pressed my lips to his he deepened the kiss causing me to moan into his mouth.

I wrapped my arms around his neck as he lifted me onto his lap, with one hand on my lower back and the other resting on my thigh. As our tongues continued to dance around each other, Edward slowly lifted my dress and then I felt the warmth of his fingers on my inner thigh. He continued to rub soothing circles on my skin as his hand traveled higher and I could feel how wet my pretty lacy panties were.

I gasped as he reached my center and began to massage my clit through my underwear.

"Edward, I love so much" I said throwing my head back trying my best not to scream out loud.

"I love you too Bella, so damn much and fuck you're gorgeous baby."

He continued to rub my clit with his thumb while placing wet kisses down my neck and used his index and middle fingers to slide my underwear to the side before sinking those same two fingers into my soaked pussy.

"Fuck baby you are so wet for me, do you like how I'm making you feel?"

"Yesss…Ed…Edwarrrdd…yeeesssss… I love it!" I said as he added another finger and curled them up hitting that perfect spot that started me to coming undone.

"I feel how tight you are getting baby, let go for me love, come for me. I want to see you fall apart for me."

He whispered nibbling on my earlobe and thrusting his fingers in and out harder and faster and after one more thrust, I lost myself and cried out in pure ecstasy, while Edward gently brought me down. And when he removed his three fingers from inside me and placed them in his mouth I thought I would have another orgasm just from watching him.

"God you don't know how good you taste, I want more." He said gently kissing my lips. "Are you okay love?" he asked rubbing my back as I nuzzled my face in the crook of his neck.

"Yes, I'm better than okay Edward, you make me so happy and sometimes the joy is just so overwhelming." I said as a solitaire tear rolled down my cheek.

"Shhh, I like making you happy and you make me just as happy, you know that right?" he asked tilting my chin up to look in my eyes and I nodded grinning like the fool I was for my husband.

"I love you Edward."

"I love you more and we better get back inside to our children before they send out a search team." He said kissing my forehead.

The rest of the night was pretty uneventful with a lot of drunk offbeat dancing. Edward and I finally headed home with the kids around midnight thanking God that the car ride had put the triplets to sleep, but Demi was wide awake as I took her into her and Bianca's room and placed her on the changing table to change her diaper.

"Hey there baby girl, let's get this wet diaper off of you." Being only three months old, she lay there moving her arms involuntarily and looking at her own hand in front of her face trying to figure out what it was and where it came from.

After changing her I went to our room and sat in the rocking chair to feed her, but Edward walked in with a bottle of my breast milk that he had already prepared after getting the boys in bed.

"I'll feed her you go lay down and relax and I'll be over there to rub your feet in a little while." He said taking her from me and sitting down in the rocker.

"Thank you Edward, I really want to take a quick shower before I lay down, I'll be right out.

When I returned from my shower Edward was lying on the bed bare chest with nothing but pajama bottoms on. After getting one of his t-shirts out of my top drawer, I went and lay right beside him and as promised he scooted to the foot of the bed and placed one of my feet in his lap and began to message it.

"Mmmm…that feels so good Edward."

"Did you enjoy yourself tonight?" he asked as he worked his magic from my ankle to my toes and back up again.

"Yes I did and I am so happy for Jasper and Alice, they are good for each other; don't you think?"

"Anyone who can tolerate my sister this long and still have his sanity is special in my book." He said and we both laughed.

"I guess you have a point there." I said nodding my head

"I want to talk to you about something and hear me out before you make a decision, okay?"

"Okay" I said slowly cocking my head to the side "what is it?"

"First of all, Bella, I could not have asked for a better wife and mother for our kids, thank you for loving us the way you do. You are so nurturing and you take such good care of all of us and I truly appreciate you."

He paused and let out a nervous chuckle before running a hand through his hair.

"Just say it Edward, I promise I'll hear you out before responding."

"Well I know you love being home with the kids, but I also know you miss tutoring and teaching. Sooo…what do you think about putting the triplets in daycare for just a half day to start and if all goes well after a while we can consider fulltime."

"Oh…I don't know if I am ready to be away from them and leave them in the care of complete strangers Edward. I mean what if they don't like it and they cry the whole time they are there and what if…"

Edward cut me off by putting a finger to my lips.

"What if they do just fine? And what if you finally get to do some things for you that you enjoy, huh? Listen Bella you are amazing, but I know you have goals and dreams to and there is no reason you should put those on hold. You can have both and between you, me and the grandparents we can definitely make sure we have coverage at all times. Remember it's just for a few hours a day starting out and if you think it's not working out, tell me and we will pulled them out and keep them at home, but at least give it a try love, for me."

I studied him for a few minutes before answering, because he really did have a valid point. I did want to start tutoring and helping teach again.

"Alright Edward, I'll try it but if I think my babies are unhappy they stay home no questions asked."

"Yes love no questions asked."

Edward continued to massage my feet until I fell into a peaceful slumber.
