The Inevitable

Edward POV

Standing in the nursery I watched as my little girls slept. Isabella and I were just thankful they were sleeping through the night now. I brushed my hand over their thick curls and placed kisses on their foreheads. Keiara stretched in her sleep and in her own language started talking in her sleep. I smiled because she reminded me of her mother when she did that. I turned the carousel over their cribs on and then left the room leaving the door partially open.

I walked to my and Isabella's bedroom and saw that she hadn't come upstairs yet. When I walked down stairs I could hear her quietly talking in the kitchen and assumed she was on the phone. I picked up the girls little teething toys up off their blanket we had on the floor for their tummy time and placed them in the play pin. I moved their swigs back against the wall and turned off the television. When I start to walk towards the kitchen I hear Isabella say.

"Yes Mom, no Edward just put them to bed. Of course we'll bring them to see you; we're just not comfortable flying with them yet."

I continue to head into the kitchen and see that Isabella is washing the dishes. I walk over to her and place a kiss on her cheek and tell her to tell her mother I said hello.

"Mom, Edward says hello. No I'm not telling him you said that- because he is my husband and the only person who should be saying that to him is me."

Isabella says into the phone her cheeks flushed from her blush as she smiled. I watched as she finished washing one of the girl's bottles and I took it from her to dry. After she finished the dishes she turned leaning against the sink and made the motion with her hand that her mother was still talking a lot. Smiling I stood in front of Isabella locking her between my arms. I leaned into her placing one soft kiss on her lips, then another on her neck.

"Yes I agree mom, but that is a decision for Angela and Ben to make."

She says into the phone and I dart my tongue out against her neck, sucking gently and she jumps then slaps my shoulder playfully. "Stop." She says covering the mouth piece on the phone. I shake my head with a grin on my face and lean into her placing another kiss on the other side of her neck.

"I don't know, you how dad is."

Isabella says into the phone. "Maybe he'll le-let…" her words trail off as she struggles to concentrate. Sucking gently on her neck now, I gripped her thighs. "Oh god." She moaned holding the phone against her chest so her mother wouldn't hear her. I brought my lips up to her ears sucking her jeweled earlobe into my mouth.

"I want you Mrs. Cullen, the girls are sleep and I want to put my wife to bed."

I whisper into her ear and she shudders. "Yes mom I understand…I-I need…to-to…"she stopped just short of saying whatever it is she was about to say when I ran my hand across her breast pinching her nipple between my fingers. As I slid my other hand up the side of her thigh thankful that all she wore was her little silk panties and my shirt I whispered what I planned to do to her when she got off the phone with her mother. I palmed her ass and I grinded my erection into her.

"Do you feel what you do to me chéri?"

I ask her taking her ear lobe into my mouth again. I quickly pick her up and sit her on the counter. I run my hands up her thighs and press my lips against her neck.

"Mom I really need to call you back one the girls woke up and Edward just got in the shower."

She says and I smile against her neck. "Ok love you too bye." Isabella said quickly and then hung up dropping the phone in the sink.

"Isabella anyone ever tell you it's not nice to lie"

"Has anyone ever told you that it's wrong to seduce your wife while she's on the phone with her mother?"

She asked back and I laughed. "How could it be wrong when my wife is so damn tempting?" I ask her and she laughs placing her hands on either side of my face.

"So about those things you planned to do to me, was it just talk or…?"

She asked and I devoured her mouth before she could finish. Her fingers slid into my hair, deepening our kiss. I slid my hand under the shirt and fisted her underwear in my hand.

"Tell me you don't like these."

I growl against her lips, "rip them." She says biting on my lower lip. I pull on her silk panties until they tear from around her smooth waist. Her hands are on the waist band over my pants as she starts to push them down around my hips. My cock springs out from my pants and her little hands wraps around it.

"Do you know how badly I want you right now, Isabella?"

"I can feel how bad you want me Edward."

She says giving my dick another gentle squeeze. My mouth met her in another desperate kiss in one quick movement. I needed her more than air. I quickly pulled the shirt up over her head and placed kisses over her swollen breast. Her lips are slowly gliding across my jaw and then she nibbles on my ear lobe.

"I want you to fuck me in this kitchen Edward."

She says in my ear and gripping her hips I slam into her making us both moan in pleasure. I kept still as I let her walls sheath me. I inhaled her scent, trying to keep myself from losing the little control I had left. Her legs wrapped around me pushing me further into her and I groaned.

"Please..."

She moaned and I started to move inside of her slowly at first, but as her body engulfed me my pace picked up. I cupped her face and devoured her lips as she moaned into my mouth. I rocked into her faster and faster making her moan loudly as her nails scratched over my back.

"Fuck Edward don't stop."

She tells me holding me tighter to her. I slid out of her almost completely and then slammed back into her causing her to groan loudly. Over and over I pound into her until her nails dig into my back with her piercing scream of her release. I place a kiss on her neck letting her come down from her release.

"Down and bend over."

I tell her slipping out of her. She inhales and nods her head. She gets down from the counter and I point over to the kitchen island. She smiles as she walks over and I fill my hand with my cock as I admire her naked ass walking through our kitchen. She bends over the kitchen island and I slowly walk up behind her. I run my hand over the length of her back and then place a kiss on the curve of her lower back. I looked up and saw our reflection in the glass of the back door.

"Look at us Isabella."

I tell her and lifting her head by her hair and forcing her to look at our reflection. "Watch me make love to you in our kitchen chéri." I whisper into her ear. She bits her lip as I pull her back against me and reenter her making us both moan. I pulled out of her slowly and without warning she pushed herself back causing me to fill her again. I held her hips trying to pull my shit together as the sensation was overpowering my senses. She whimpered my name repeatedly as I started to move in and out of her thrusting as deeply as this position would allow.

Our bodies moved in sync like they always seemed to do. She took as much as I gave and I took as much as she gave. I could never possibly be tired of making love to her. She pushed her hips roughly back and her walls clenched down around me.

"Fuck cheri."

I growled dropping my head against her back. "You feel so good inside of me Edward…" She moaned and I placed a kiss on her back and swirled my tongue in the dip of her back.

"You feel even better around me Isabella, hold on."

I tell her and she nods her head against the marble of the counter. I stood up straight and watched our reflection in the glass door. Gripping her hair I told her to watch us. When our eyes connected I watched myself thrusting in and out of her sweet abyss. The force was causing her body to rock forward with each movement I made into her.

"Fuck you own me Isabella."

I tell her placing a kiss on her shoulder blade. "I'm close." She moans and I rock into her faster, pounding hitting her g-spot repeatedly.

"Touch me Edward, I'm so close."

She moans and I bring my hand to her clit and began to massage it in tune with my thrust. Pinching, plucking and pulling at her clit had her moaning loudly. She kept telling me how good I was making her feel. Her walls became slicker and I looked down watching myself disappear into her body and then reappear. It was the most erotic thing I've ever watched. She couldn't watch me enter her so I took her hand and slid it between her thighs until our hands touched my cock as it slid out of her.

"Do you feel how wet you made my cock?"

I asked her and she moaned out a long yes. I slid my cock between our fingers as I reentered her. I told her to keep her hand there as I massaged her clit. Working her, her back arched with every thrust I made into her body. I picked up my speed in both thrusting and massaging her clit and with one last loud cry of pleasure she came hard around me. I gripped her hips tightly and pulled her to me, her name leaving my lips over and over again as I came inside of her. Isabella collapsed against the counter and I dropped my head on to her back and I kissed her softly.

"Vous m'avez propres, chérie "

I whisper against her back. I wasn't sure if she truly understood how much I meant that. I slowly pull out of her hating the loss of contact I felt not being inside of her. I turn her to face me and she's glowing as she looks up at me. I look into her russet eyes remembering how in love I was with looking into her eyes. Her beautifully heart shaped face that our girls shared, her soft succulent lips, her perfect ass, her lush breast, the way she moaned my name, stood up to me like no other, her smart mind, her feisty spirit, they were all just some of the reasons I loved her so much. Today was our first year wedding anniversary and we spent it at home with the girls.

"Can round two be in the bathtub?"

She asked and I grinned remembering another reason I loved this woman so much. "Lead the way, chéri. I want to eat at my favorite place anyway, it's between your left and right thigh." I tell her and she giggles tossing her head back. I quickly capture her mouth, kissing her until I could feel her trying to control her breathing.

"Happy Anniversary, Mrs. Cullen, I love you."

I whisper against her lips. "Prove it." She says with a grin and I toss her over my shoulder and head up stairs for round two.

~~~~~RTI~~~~~

The next morning Isabella and I sat in our kitchen feeding our girls breakfast.

"Come on Kiah try some for daddy."

I say with the spoon at her mouth, but her lips stayed tight. I placed the spoon down and Isabella laughed placing Keiara in the high chair next to Kiah's.

"I told you she doesn't like that one."

Isabella says kissing the top of Kiah's head. "There banana's who doesn't like banana's?" I asked getting up from the chair.

"Your daughter, apparently."

Isabella answered walking over to the coffee maker. I shook my head and placed some cheerios on the high chair tray for the girls. Keiara smiled, fisted them up and stuffs them in her mouth. I kissed the top of both their heads and Kiah giggled and I was sure it was from the stubble on my face. I looked over at Isabella who was wearing a fitted grey skirt with a matching blazer. As always she looked amazing. Her hair fell onto her shoulders longer since she had the girls. I walked up behind her wrapping my arms around her waist.

"Have I told you how beautiful you look this morning?"

I ask her and she smiles, "Thank you. You don't think it's too chic for my first day back?" She asked me and I kissed her neck.

"Nope, I think you're perfect."

I tell her and she says she doesn't know why she asked me because that was what I always said. "That's because it's true chéri." I tell her and she places her coffee cup down and turns in my arms.

"I'm nervous."

She tells me looking up at me, "Why? You'll be great." I tell her and she shakes her head. "It's been a little over six months since I've been in front of the camera, what if I mess up." She replies, and I hold her face in my hand.

"You're a natural and you will be amazing as always."

"What if everyone likes the guest host more than me, it happened to Lauren. That's how I got her job."

"Isabella, America loves you almost as much as I do, I doubt that will happen."

I respond and she smiles at me. The girls let out a loud scream that I called the 'I want attention' scream. Isabella and I both turned to them as we watched them bang on the tray and knock some of the cheerios onto the floor.

I release Isabella from my arms and we both walk over to the girls. "Kiah look at your face, why didn't daddy wipe your face." Isabella says and I smile,

"Daddy got distracted by mommy."

I answer and she laughs shaking her head at me as she grabs a wipe from the wipes container. The gate bell rings and I look at the little monitor seeing that it was the girls Nanny arriving. I pressed the button for the gates to open and I went back to cleaning up the mess the girls made. A moment later we heard the front door open and I knew it was Penelope.

"Good morning Mr. and Mrs. Cullen."

She says entering the kitchen, "Morning Penelope." Isabella says with a smile on her face. "Morning Penelope." I say getting up from the floor once I knew I had picked up all the cheerios.

"How are my two favorite girls this morning?"

She says walking over to the high chair and picking up Keiara. We hired Penelope two months ago knowing we both would have to get back to work soon. She came over every day getting to know the girls and us. Today would be the real test because Isabella and I were actually leaving the house for more than a couple hours.

"Penelope, Edward already feed the girls so they'll just need to be washed up and changed."

Isabella tells her, "Yes, Mrs. Cullen." Penelope says placing Keiara back in her highchair. I remembered when we first hired Penelope we tried to tell her she could call us by our names but she refused saying she's never called her employers by their first names. Penelope was highly recommended to us and Isabella fell in her love with her the moment we met her.

Isabella and I spent thirty minutes telling the girls bye, knowing I wouldn't see them for the next eight hours was killing me.

"Edward, can I take them to work with me?"

Isabella asked and I laughed. "Do you want to take the chance trying to get them through the paparazzi?" I ask her and she groans.

"No."

"Hey you two ready!"

I hear Seth yell from the front door. We kiss the girls bye a few more times than grab our things and meet Seth outside.

"Bella are you crying?"

Seth asked with an amused look on his face, "Shut up Seth, I'm going to miss my babies." She says hitting his shoulder and he laughs. "I'm going to miss them too chéri, but we'll be home soon." I tell her as I help Isabella into the car. We leave and drop Isabella off first so that she can make the meeting before the show airs. She leans over and places a kiss on my lips.

"I love you."

"I love you too, have a good show."

I tell her. Seth helps her out of the car and the paparazzi snaps their pictures. Isabella looks back at me with a smile and a wave. I mouth back I love you Mrs. Cullen and she blushes as she rushes into the building. Seth climbs back into the car and pulls off for my office. We make small talk about the baseball game that was on last night on the way there. When I arrive to the Masen Building it's packed with protestors because of my involvement in endorsing a new medicine. Supposedly they were testing on animals and PETA was pissed. They wanted me to withdraw my investment into the company, but I was determined to stand my ground because the medicine was for cancer patients.

"You're an animal murderer Edward Cullen!"

One person shouted and Seth helped me into the building. I ignored them like I did whenever I came into the office. I headed up to my floor and was greeted by Kayla and Jessica at the elevator doors.

"Mr. Cullen you have a message from Apple, Sony and Toshiba."

"All trying to get their share of the new computer Masen Tech is coming up with no doubt."

I say and Kayla laughs, "Of course. Each one, offering a sum larger than the one before." She informs me and I nod my head.

"Jessica you haven't met me at the elevator in a while so I know you have something important to tell me."

"Masen Corp has dropped on Wall Street since your involvement in the drug treatment."

She tells me and I see the look on her face, "How much?" I ask her and she gives me a number I toss around in my head.

"It will go back up in a month's time, just wait."

I tell her she nods her head aware of what I'm telling her to do. Kayla continues to talk to me as I enter my office. I take my seat behind my desk and she hands me my mail. I continue to listen to her as I look through the mail. They were mostly letters from places trying to invest or by a share of my company. I raise my hand to stop Kayla from talking when my eyes land on to the name on the return address part of the envelope.

Maria Santiago

I wave for Kayla to leave the room and she does quickly closing my office door behind her. My nose flares as I slowly open the envelope and pull out the folded sheet of paper that was inside.

Dear Edward.

I am writing this to tell you that she only won for a little while. Mark my words the two of you will pay for what you have done to me. I only wanted to love you, for you to look at me the way you look at her. Remember when you use to make love to me, the way you use to touch me? You use to not be able to get enough of me, now you just discard of me like garbage. You are all I ever wanted, everything I did was for us to be together, so remember that anything I do after this is for us to be together as well. I love you Edward, forgive me.

Maria Santiago (soon to be) Cullen

I balled up the paper and called the psychiatric hospital Maria was at. When they answered I quickly asked if she was still there and was told she was released. Before they could give me any bogus reason as to why I hung up and called Seth.

"Go to my house and make sure the girls are safe."

"Got it, what's wrong?"

"Maria was released from the hospital."

I say and now I can hear Seth rushing "Fuck I'm running out the door now." He says and I hang up and call Isabella. She doesn't answer and it only fucking worries me more. I run to Emmett's office and tell him to bring his ass on.

Bella POV

After Seth and Edward dropped me off I went to the meeting first then back to my dressing room. When I opened the door I was faced with the bitch from hell herself.

"Maria."

I say trying to hide the fear sneaking up into me as I face the barrel of her gun.

"Hello slut shut the door."

She tells me and I do so slowly never taking my eyes off of her. "What do you want?" I ask her and she smiles.

"Lock the door."

She tells me and lock it. "Sit." She commands next, and I walk over to the couch in my dressing room. "Someone will be in here to get me; I go on air in a half hour." I inform her and she shrugs her shoulders.

"So, you won't be alive."

"So your plan is to kill me?"

I ask her with a brow raised, "Do you think you'll win Edward over this way? By killing me?" I ask her and she shakes her head as if to shake something out so I continue talking. "He'll just see to it that Seth or Emmett kills you, if he doesn't do it his self." I inform her and she growls at me.

"He'll forget about you."

"He still won't want you."

I tell her and she walks over to me quickly and slaps me across my face. She quickly aims the gun back in my face when I go to hit her back.

"He loves me. HE. LOVES. ME."

She repeats over and over again. I wipe the blood from my lip then look up at her. "Are you trying to convince me or yourself with that lie?" I ask her and she hits me again harder this time.

"You have a lot of fucking mouth for someone who is about to die."

She says with a smile, "You're pretty stupid to think you'll get away with it." I reply back and she presses the gun into my head.

"Do you know what I miss most about Edward?"

She asked me and I looked up at her saying nothing. "I miss that thick cock of his. The way he used to pound into me, I bet when he's fucking your ass he's thinking about me." She says and I inhale a deep breath at the thought of Edward fucking her. It made me sick just thinking about it.

"When Edward takes me back, I'll be mommy to your brats."

"Over my dead body."

"As you wish. Maybe they accidently drown in the tub. Then I can give him the son you failed to give him."

"You won't go anywhere near my children!"

I yell at her, just then my phone rings playing Edward's ring tone. Still aiming the gun at me she digs in my purse and takes the phone out.

"He's calling you…"

"I have to answer if I don't he'll worry."

"Nope."

She says dropping my phone on the floor then crushing it under her feet. "If you want me dead why haven't you killed me yet?" I ask her looking around the room for something to hit her with.

"Is it because you know you can't beat me? Or that you know once you kill me Edward will NEVER take you back?"

I ask hoping to egg her on. I knew if I kept going she would try to slap me again. "You know Edward told me I am the best he's ever had, that no woman before me can compare." I continue and I see her face turning red. I noticed one of my stiletto heels in the closet by the couch and debate if I can get to it before she came to me.

"Edward will never love you Maria because you are nothing but a crazy-money hungry-whore- who couldn't make it as a stripper or lover. You're weak and stupid and he will never take you back."

I say and she screams storming over towards me, I quickly reach for the stiletto and when she makes it to me I stab her in the shoulder with the heel. She screams out in pain and drops the gun making it slide under the couch. I quickly jump up and slam her in the body length mirror that was against the wall by the couch. I bang her head into it making her scream again as it cracked from the impact. She reaches for my hair and punches me in my face causing me to stumble back.

"Bella! Bella! Open the door!"

I hear Rose yelling on the other side of the door. But I don't, I wanted to be done with this bitch once and for all. This fight between Maria and I was inevitable and I was determined to stop resisting it and be done with her once and for all. She yanks the heel from her shoulder screaming loudly. I can hear the banging on the door but I ignore it and hall off and punch Maria in her face.

"That's for Edward."

I yell at her then I hit her again. "That's for Esme." I tell her and then I hit her again harder. "That's for the entire family." I say and then knee her in the stomach.

"And that's for me."

I say watching her fall over onto the floor. Breathing heavily I walk over to the door and open it just as I see Carlos and Mike getting ready to try and break the door down.

"Oh my god! Bella are you ok?"

Alice asked pushing them out of the way. "Where is she? I will tear that bitch a new asshole!" Rose yelled pushing past me and then a gunshot rung out and Rose screamed in agony. I quickly turned around and saw Maria standing there with the gun in her hand. I dropped down to my knees next to Rose.

"Rose, where are you hit?"

I ask her and she points to her shoulder. "I think it's just a flesh wound, hurts like a bitch though." She says and I stand back up.

"Maria if you want me dead then kill me, but I swear to you, you will not make it out of this fucking room alive."

I tell her, "CLOSE THE DAMN DOOR! THE NEXT PERSON TO COME IN HERE WILL BE MEETING THEIR MAKER!" She yells and Carlos and Mike both looked freaked the hell out.

"I'm not going any damn where."

Alice told her and Maria aimed her gun at her and I quickly stood in front of Alice. "Maria this is between you and me, leave them out of it." I tell her and she glares at me.

"Close the fucking door, if the stupid bitch wants to stay and die with you that's her problem."

She says, I inhale a deep breath and we close the door. "Lock it and push that dresser in front of it." She says and we do as she tells us.

"I wanted to make your death quick but after your little punches I plan to make you jump out this window instead."

"You can't make me do anything."

"Oh but I can, because if you don't you can watch me kill these two instead."

She says and I suck in a deep breath. "Leave them out of it." I tell her and she smiles that devilish smile again.

"Come on so we can get this over with."

She says and I slowly walk over to her. "Where is she!" I hear Edward's booming voice yelling from the hall. "Someone better fucking answer me and tell me where my wife is!" He yelled some more. Maria quickly reaches for me gripping me by my hair and the banging on the door starts. It was loud like a sludge hammer on wood. The dresser fell first, Alice jumping back and the banging came harder and harder. Before I knew it the door was kicked in and Edward and Emmett appeared. Emmett quickly ran to Rose and Edward glared over at Maria and I.

"Maria let her go!"

He growled at her. "Edward, baby I'm happy you're here." She says with a scary looking smile on her face. "I was just going to rid of her then we can run away." She says and Edward shakes his head.

"I'm going to give you five seconds to let her go."

"Edward I just want us to be together."

"I don't want to be with you. I want to be with my wife. Now let- her- go."

He says and I have never seen him this pissed before. "You don't mean that, you love me. You promised you would always love me." She says pulling on my hair harder as she spoke. I watched Emmett rise to his feet and he pulled a gun from his suit jacket and aimed it in our direction.

"Let her go Maria, or I will gladly shoot you like I should have done years ago."

Emmett says, "Fuck you Emmett, you're just mad I wouldn't fuck you!" she yells wrapping more of my hair around her hand. I screamed from the pain of the way she jerked my head and Edward's eyes went dark as he took a step towards us.

"LET HER GO!"

He yelled with such force I felt it. "One." Edward said counting as he took another step towards us. "Two." He continued.

"When he gets to five I'm going to place this bullet in my barrel between your eyes Maria."

Emmett says, "Three." Edward continues and I inhaled another deep breath. I closed my eyes and then as fast as I could I tossed my head back hitting Maria in the face. She stumbled back taking me with her so I did it again and heard the glass of my mirror shatter behind us. Edward was over to us in seconds freeing me from her grip. He quickly got me away from her when I heard her yell,

"NO! You can't choose her!"

Then I heard a loud gunshot and I gripped Edward's shirt in fear that he or I would be shot. When I realized it wasn't us I turned around to see a dead Maria laying across the floor and Emmett with his gun still aimed at her. I quickly turned around and hugged Edward nuzzling my face in his neck. His hand rested on the back of my head as he placed kisses on my head over and over again repeatedly saying.

"I love you so much Isabella."

I cried with the relief of being in his arms because I didn't know what else to do. He held me tightly in his arms as he continued to tell me he loved me in both French and English.

~~~~~~RTI~~~~~~

Lying in Edward arms I smiled as I watched the girls sleep in our bed. After the shooting at the station we went to the hospital with Rose and thankfully it was just a flesh wound. We couldn't help laughing at her when she kept complaining about her ruined blouse and blood stained hair. She kept warning to not blame myself because she would do it again if it meant it saved my life. When we made it home I went straight up to the girls' nursery and sat with them while Edward explained to Seth just what happened. Eventually the four of us ended up in our bed and I ran my finger over their cheeks.

"I'm going to put them in the bassinette."

He whispers in my ear and I nod my head. He places a kiss on my temple then turns my face and places another on my lips. He gets up from the bed and places the girls into the bassinette. Next he hits the lights then climbs back into the bed. He pulls me back against him and places a kiss on my neck.

"Vous êtes mon chéri cœur, ma raison d'exister. J'ai presque que vous avez perdu aujourd'hui, et il aurait pris tout en moi pout survivre et élever nos filles si j'avais. Vous sont mes Isabella vie, mon univers."

He says in French and I turn on my back to look up at him. "What does that mean?" I ask him and he places his forehead against mine. "You are my heart, my reason for existing. I almost lost you today and it would have taken everything in me to survive and raise our girls if I had. You are my life Isabella, my universe." He translated and I cupped his face in my hand.

"If it would have come to it, you could have raised the girls. You're a great father."

"I would have only been half of myself."

"I'm not ever leaving you or our girls without one hell of a fight first."

I tell him and he smiles and lowers his lips to mine. "Promise." He said and I kissed him soundly and as deeply as I could.

"Cross my heart."

I whispered against his lips. "The next person to put your life in danger is dying by my own hands." He says and I see the seriousness in his eyes from his words. I pushed his hair over his forehead.

"No more talking about this, I'm safe and I'm going to stay that way. Maria is dead and James is locked up for life. You have me forever."

"No measure of time with you is enough, but we can start with forever."

He said and I knew he was quoting the engraving I had placed on the back of the pocket watch I had given him on our wedding day.

"Make love to me Edward and make me forget today."

I whisper, running my fingers through his hair. He lowers his head to mine again placing a kiss on my lips. I fist his hair as our kiss is slow, consuming and passionate. His other hand runs up my side and he slowly peals my underwear down over my waist. Our eyes never left each other as we undressed the other. When we were both naked Edward positioned his self between my thighs and slowly slid into me. My eyes closed on their owned as I basked in the pleasure I felt as he filled me.

He pushed his self all the way inside of me and I wrapped my arms around him. Pulling my legs up I planted my feet into the bed giving him better access into my body. He moved slowly and sensually into me placing soft kisses along my jaw, neck and shoulder. With his hands braced on either side of me keeping his full body weight from being on top of me I ordered him to look at me, and there is where I saw the fear that was in his eyes earlier today. Today we could have lost each other. He pushed into me deeper and it caused my breath to get stuck in my throat, but I needed him closer.

"More…"

I moan placing my hands on his hips and encouraging him to thrust harder. His eyes still on mine he thrust harder and I gasp as I felt him enter me.

"I'm so sorry chéri, I promised to keep you safe and …"

"…shh it's not your fault. You did nothing wrong, and I am safe."

"I can't ever lose you."

He says in such a desperate voice it damn near broke my heart. I brought my hand up between us and ran my fingers over his lips.

"You won't."

I told him and he pushed into me harder and harder. I felt the desperation in each thrust to get closer to me and I understood him completely. I cupped his face and our eyes never left each other as he continued to make love to me. It wasn't like last night. Tonight his hand slowly glided up my thigh lifting me from the bed to meet his thrust. Tonight his kisses were softer and yet needier, his eyes were still filled with so much love but now they held just a bit of fear.

The fact was clear; if he hadn't gotten there when he did I could be dead. I knew that and he knew that, and even though I'm safe now that fear that we could have lost each other was still eating at us like a plague.

"Closer Edward…"

I moaned and he hitched my leg over his hip and pushed into me, slipping deeper. I slid my hands up his back and into his hair. He lowered his lips to mine and kissed me softly. In and out of me his swollen cock went and each time he reentered me it was like another declaration of his love to me. I felt him everywhere as he rocked into me skillfully. This was more than about sexual release this was about reminding the other that we were here together, forever. That we needed each other the same way and that we would forever complete each other.

"I can't get close enough…"

He said against my lips and I wrapped my legs around him pressing him deeper into me. I knew what he meant, even connected this way I wanted more of him, to be engulfed by every fiber of this man. His arm wrapped around me, pressing our bare chest together as my legs locked our lower region tightly together. Looking up into his eyes I felt it then, saw it, we were no longer two people but one. Together we were complete, a unit and unbreakable. Apart we would crumble from the lost of the other. His thrust grew faster, more aggressive as he must have seen the same thing in my eyes.

"Nous sommes faits pour être ensemble"

He whispers against my lips and I place a soft kiss on his lips, and before I could ask what that means he says. "We are meant to be together." I smile pushing my fingers into his hair.

"Vous m'avez propres"

I say having learned how to say 'You own me' in French. He grins my favorite smile and I knew that we would be perfectly fine. We would be happy as long as we had each other. His lips came crashing down on mine as I fisted his hair. Lifting my hips from the bed I met each of this thrust, rolling my hips and clenching my walls down around him. No matter how many times he made love to me, filling him inside of me was like nothing else. He was always so hard, strong and swollen. He made my mouth water and my body shiver, as I knew my release was coming.

"Come with me…"

I moan into his mouth and he grunts as he pushes into me faster, harder. To keep from screaming and waking the girls I kiss him harder as my release rips through me like a hurricane. He soon follows as he chants my name over and over against my lips. Our breathing erratic, we didn't move leaving our bodies tangled together. He turned on his side but we never separated. I wanted to sleep with him inside of me; truthfully I always wished he never had to leave. Kissing my brow he forced me to look up at him.

"It's over."

He says and I knew what he was referring to so I wanted to lighten the mood, so I say, "You don't have any more crazy, ex girlfriends I should know about, do you?" He laughs and begins to tickle my sides making me laugh. "Christ." He growls dropping his head onto my shoulder.

"What's wrong?"

"When you laughed, I felt it."

He says and I smile and purposely laugh again. I stop laughing when he slams up into me, my breath hitching. I looked at him and saw he was ready to go again.

"Old man stamina has never been a problem for you has it?"

I teased and he tickled me again making me laugh. I felt the vibrations of my laugh and I know he felt the tremors. His hand made small circles over the skin of my thigh.

"As long as I have a wife as gorgeous as you Isabella, stamina will never be an issue."

He replies back as he starts to move inside of me. I kissed him hard as we started on round two for the night, never more thankfully the girls slept like rocks now.

Edward POV (two months later)

I was having a small meeting in my office when Isabella arrived with the girls. They sat over in the lounge section of the office while I talked to Mac, Emily and Jessica. Emily never hid her dissatisfaction if Mac said something she didn't like and it was becoming annoying. When I finished talking with Mac and Jessica I sent then on their way and turned to Emily.

"Do you have to be so rude to him?"

"I just stated my opinion; if he can't handle it maybe he doesn't have the Masen back bone."

She replies and I shake my head. "Well ease up." I tell her and she rolls her eyes shrugging her shoulders.

"Fine, now on to other business…"

"Like what?"

"Oprah wants to do an interview with you and Bella."

Emily said sitting across from me at my desk. It had been two months since the entire shooting at the station. The show hadn't been back on since and there was talk about Isabella being too scared, that she was going to start her own television show, or that I told her she couldn't go back to television. It was all just really pissing us off. Everyone wanted an interview with us about it but we continued to decline.

"I thought Oprah was retired."

I say and Emily rolls her eyes. "You can't seriously be considering telling Oprah no. I mean she's Oprah no one tells her no." Emily says and I laugh at the way she said that.

"I'm Edward Cullen."

"So she's OPRAH!"

Emily says sounding out every syllable of her name. "Isabella and I agreed not to give any interviews about that shooting." I reply and Emily blows out a frustrated breath.

"Edward I know you think you're like king of the world, but you're not. This is Oprah we are talking about. You can't tell her no."

I go to tell her that I guess I would be the first person to tell Oprah no when Isabella says.

"Honey she's right, telling Oprah no is just not possible."

With a brow raised I look over at her as she sits on my office floor playing with the girls. "So you want to do it?" I ask and she shrugs her shoulders. "Sure. Tell Oprah will we do the interview, but in the comfort of our own home." Isabella tells Emily and Emily nods her head with a smile on her face.

"Thank you Bella, your ass of a husband was actually getting ready to say no. I saw his lips thin and everything."

Emily said and Isabella laughed, "He was your brother before he was my husband Emily." She says and Emily smiles.

"True but you choose to spend the rest of your life with this ass, I got him by gods sick sense of humor."

She said and I tossed my head back laughing, and as if a chain reaction both of the girls broke out into laughter pulling their selves up on the coffee table and bouncing up and down as they watched me.

"Ok I'm going to go now; I love you both but love my nieces more. Toodles!"

Emily yells and leaves my office. I shake my head and finally done with meeting with Emily I get up from my desk to properly greet my girls.

"Come here Keiara and Kiah, come to daddy."

I say kneeling onto the floor. They giggled then let go of the coffee table and fell onto their little butts. Kiah crawled over Isabella first to get to me and I smiled at her as she crawled towards me. I laughed when Keiara crawled under the table instead of over her mother. They both reached me at the same time and I held my hands out to them both helping them stand up. Even though they had my eyes they were looking more and more like their mother.

"Do you think they're going to walk soon?"

"They're only ten months Edward."

Isabella says with a smile on her face. I remember how fucking scared I was two months ago that Maria was going to kill her and every day I thanked the heavens that I still had her.

"They're genius's chéri, they get it from their father."

"Is that right? From the same father who placed their metal spoons in the microwave last night?"

She replied back and I laughed so loudly that it scared the girls, making them both fall on to their butts again and then join me in laughing.

"I forgot they were in the bowls."

I say and she shakes her head. "Whatever makes you feel better, are you ready to go?" She asked getting up from the floor. Today the girls had a check up with their doctor and like always I went with them. I picked both girls up from the floor and then kissed both of their cheeks. My office phone rung and I looked at Isabella, knowing my hands were full and I had already sent Kayla home. She rolled her eyes with a smile then walked over to my desk and picked up the phone.

"Edward Cullen's office, this is Isabella Cullen how can I help you?"

She said sweetly into the phone. "Oh hello Jenks, he's here let me put you on speaker." She says then she presses the speaker button.

"Hey Jenks!"

"Hey Edward, I was just calling to let you know that the doctor who was caring for Maria lost his license and the hospital agreed on a settlement to pay you guys."

He said and I smiled. Despite Isabella telling me not to, I sued the psychiatric hospital that Maria was in, for putting Isabella's life in danger by not notifying us that she was released.

"Good now give the money to the Feed a child foundation in Africa."

I tell him and Isabella smiles, "Don't you want to know how much it is, I mean it's a large amount Edward." He says and I laugh.

"Jenks seriously I don't need the money. If it's so much split it between that foundation and the children's cancer foundation."

I tell him, "Yes sir as you wish." He says and I tell him that I have to go and that I will talk to him later. After he hung up I looked up at Isabella.

"You know you amaze me every day."

"Did you really think I would have kept that money?"

"I don't ever know what to think when it comes to you. Come on before we're late for their doctor's appointment."

Isabella says coming over to me and first placing a kiss on my lips then taking Kiah out of my arms. We took the private elevator down to the garage where Isabella had parked her car since she drove to my office alone. Of course I was paranoid about Isabella doing anything alone but she often reminded me that we could not spend the rest of our lives walking on egg shells. Maria was dead and James was locked up for life. We placed the girls in their car seats and Isabella handed me her keys.

"You don't want to drive?"

"I don't feel like hearing you complain about me driving like an elderly person."

She says and I laugh and pull her to me placing a kiss on her lips. "I love you chéri." I tell her and she blushes.

"I love you more my Assward."

We both climb into the car when we hear the damn paparazzi screaming from the gate. I start the car just as I hear a little voice say,

"Da da da"

I turn and look into the back seat and Keiara and Kiah are both smiling at me as they play with their fingers. I look over at Isabella and her face is beaming with a smile.

"You heard that too?"

I asked her and she nodded her head. We turn back around and this time we hear. "Mmmma ma" We turn around again, only see the two of them looking at us in amusement.

"You two think this is funny don't you?"

I ask them with smile and they giggle their mothers giggle and my grin widens. "They're going to have a smart mouth just like their mother." I say and Isabella playfully punches me in my arm.

"I thought you loved my smart mouth."

She says with a pout and I lean over to her in the car and place a kiss on her lips. "I love everything about your sexy mouth chéri, especially what you did with it last night." I say and she laughs.

"Ass."

"I'm your ass chéri, just yours."

I tell her now placing the car in gear and pulling out of the parking spot. After everything we've been through I knew I wouldn't have changed a thing. Somehow I loved Isabella more now than I did when I first set my eyes on her. When we drove past the paparazzi Isabella rolled down her window some and waved out at them.

"Tease."

I say with a smile and she laughs, "They only get a sample, while you get to have the full entrée." She replies and at a red light I lean over grabbing her face and kissing her hard as I mumble mine against her lips.

"Da da da…"

"Mmmma ma..."

The girls say again at the same time and we look back them just for them to both break out into giggles.
