Chapter 26
EPOV
Two days I told her. Two days and then I was coming back to my Brownie Eyes. Two days that turned out to be two weeks away. I was pissed off with Alice to the point it was the first time I had gotten into a real fight with her. Jasper tried to calm my nerves and defend her, of course. But that was enough. There was a limit. We had started touring thinking about just about doing a month, our first on the road. Now, we were ending after almost three months singing in different cities. Unbelievable.
Tonight was the last show, the last city after my fight with Alice. She wanted us to go to Los Angeles and be on TV, but I told her no. One more month and I was finished. It was enough. I wasn´t enjoying this. I was feeling miserable.
"I don´t care if it's the President that wants to see me. It´s done. I´m done, Alice," I told her, very frustrated.
"But, it´s important and they asked for you and..."
"NO. Alice I said no!" I had raised my voice.
"Edward, calm down, man. It's not a big deal." Jasper tried to calm me, but it was impossible.
"Jasper, this is between Alice and me. Stay out of this conversation."
"Conversation? Your sister is my girlfriend-"
I cut him off. "Right now, I don´t fucking care. Alice, call them and cancel everything. After tonight, I'm going home," I said while walking to my room.
"But Edward..." I heard Alice's whining behind me.
"'But Edward' nothing," I sighed, exasperated. Turning around I could see her standing at my door. "Don´t you understand it's enough? I started with music, but not for this. I don´t fucking care about being on tour. Do you know how tired I am? But most importantly, how much I miss Bella? Alice, she was sick and I couldn´t be with her."
"Bella is fine, it was just stress."
"Yeah, it´s what you were telling me, but I feel there's something more."
"It´s just a week, maybe a few more days..."
"NO!"
"But..."
"I said NO. This is not the first time you've crossed the line. You're part of this team, but you're my sister first. Don´t you see there's something wrong here? Do you? I need you to be my sister and not my fucking manager. I´m not a business."
"I'm...I'm sorry." Alice started crying.
Even if she had pushed me to my limit I shouldn´t take my anger out on her.
"I´m sorry. I got all excited and I forgot even my limits. It´s just...I see you on stage so happy and your fans are so excited that I forget you don´t want the fame. I´m so sorry," she said between sobs. I went to her and hugged her. "I promise you to not do that anymore. I won´t push you on anything and I won´t do anything without asking you first."
"Alice, just calm down a little bit, please. There's a time for everything and now I need to go home."
"Okay." Alice hugged me, but I could see she had something on her mind.
"What now?"
"We could postpone all the TV shows and maybe do it later?"
"No, no TV for me. Let's try doing this more familiar and intimate, please."
"I can do that," Alice said, smiling.
"I know," I laughed. Of course she can.
"Time to go home?" Jasper asked yelling from the living room.
I looked at my sister and smiled. "Time to go home."
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
I couldn´t wait to see her, to have her in my arms. Rose had told me Bella was fine. That it was just stress and she needed some rest. She was tired emotionally and psychologically. She missed me as much I missed her. Even if we had some time together during the tour, it wasn´t enough. Now, it was the right time. I could feel it and I was going to need some help to do what I had in mind.
But first Bella. I needed to see her. I arrived home and when I thought she was going to jump on me I found myself alone. I left my stuff in the living room and went straight to our room. My Brownie Eyes was sleeping peacefully hugging a pillow. The TV was on probably to make noise and keep her company. Even if I had the need to jump her bones and make her scream my name, something told me to let her rest. Slowly and without making noise, I joined her. I pulled the pillow out of her arms and replaced it with myself. Bella snuggled on my chest, wrapping her arms and legs around my body. She apparently had missed me a lot, I thought. I kissed her head and closed my eyes.
I woke up with Bella´s kisses upon my face and her giggles. She was sitting on me with knees bent and I groaned when she moved on my crotch. "Baby, don´t do that please." Bells kept moving and I grabbed her hip. I wrapped my arms around her waist leaning her on my chest. "So much better. I missed this," I said, kissing her nose.
"I missed you, Pouty Lips." She kissed me back. First it was sweet, slow, savoring every second of it, forgetting the weeks far away from each other. We deepened our kiss, playing with our tongues; it was getting too much to keep her like that without being inside her. Breathless, Bella broke the kiss and rested her forehead on mine. "Finally you're home, baby."
"Until Alice says otherwise." I laughed. Bella looked at me almost angrily and suddenly she was sitting on me again with her arms crossed. "What?"
"Don´t you dare leave again! I swear, I will fucking kick your ass if you leave me here alone again. I'll go with you no matter what. I don´t care if I have to stay at the hotel or be nice to your fans, or wait for you…I'll go with you. I'll take pictures, write another book, and write more and more..."
"Brownie Eyes, breathe, please." I laughed.
"Do you think this is funny?"
"No, you are funny. Bella. Relax. There is no tour anymore." I caressed her hips and she relaxed.
"But you said Alice-"
"She wanted me to do more shows in L.A., but I said no. And here I am. I'll do a special show here in Forks."
"So you won´t be traveling around the States?" Bella leaned her head on my chest again.
"No. Not until the next album and that tour won´t be like this one. And of course, you are coming with me, Brownie Eyes."
"Thank God, I was going crazy here. I wrote two books, you know. My editor was surprised since he asked me just for one."
"I´m very proud of you, baby. Do you think you can get some books for the show? You can start there."
"Really? Because it´s your show."
"It´s yours too." I winked at her and she smiled.

At this point nothing surprises me anymore. Alice doesn´t surprise me. When Edward told me about this last show I thought it was going to take a while, but you can´t win against my sister-in-law. What made me most nervous was the fact she didn´t let me do anything. Like Edward, she told me it was my show too. I don´t know what to think anymore so Esme and Rosalie helped me with my books and to my joy the fans reacted really well.
It´s not even necessary to say Jake's bar was full tonight. After the first songs, Edward took a break and joined us to drink something. The next thing I knew, he was on stage and dedicating a new song to me.
"You're my light, my sky, my other half.
I would die for your love and more.
And everything you do to me
White and black become colors,
And everything is sweet when it´s in your voice.
And if it is born from you,
I'm going to love it and make you feel.
Because you give me your love without measure,
I want my whole life with you…"
While the song was still up, Edward decided to talk to the fans. His look and smirk made me shiver.
"I'm very glad everybody's here tonight. It's a special night and I'll need your help with something." People yelled giving him more courage. "Do you see that beautiful girl close to the bar? Brown hair, chocolate eyes. Lights, please." Suddenly everybody was watching at me, I tried to hide myself behind Alice and Esme but they pushed me into the light. "That beautiful woman is my Brownie Eyes, my beautiful Bella. Please, love, come on stage." I blushed and hurried, walking through the people, I went to him. The people opened a path so they let me walk without any trouble. Finally, I was on stage with Edward; his big and beautiful smile melted me. And definitely there was something more behind it.
"I've been trying to do something for months, but without any luck. For that reason, I will need your help," Edward said without taking his eyes off me. In just seconds, he was on his knee and the public started to yell and celebrate. "I have being asking you this and you keep saying no. Extreme situations need extreme measures. With all these people here as my witness, Bella, my Brownie Eyes, you are my life, my soul and my heart. My everything. Will you marry me?"
I gasped and tears started to fall on my cheeks. "You're not playing fair," I said between sobs.
"I never said I was going to. " Edward stood up and took my face into his hands. "Will you be my wife?"
"I should kick your ass, Pouty Lips. You made me wait and I think you deserve the same." I giggled when Edward looked at me in confusion. "But I can´t do it."
"I´m starting to freak out, Brownie Eyes."
I couldn´t stop laughing and crying of happiness. I threw myself into his arms yelling yes, yes, yes! Edward grabbed me and lifted me up.
"Wait," I said looking at him. It was my show now.

Bella looked at me and there was something more behind those chocolate eyes. The music was still up, the song wasn´t done. It was time for the guys to show their talent. I followed them giving them my support. Slowly and without taking her eyes of me, Bella kissed me on my cheek and with that sneaky and wild look, she whispered something I couldn´t hear. I frowned and she did it again. Still confused, Bella laughed and wrapped her arms around me.
"I said...I'm pregnant, my Pouty Lips."
I heard what I heard, right? I froze and stopped playing my guitar. A baby?
"You weren´t the only one with news, love," she giggled and I wrapped her into my arms. Again I looked at her trying to confirm what she had said.
"I´m going to be a daddy?" Damn, it sounded so good. Bella, looking very emotional, just nodded. "I'm going to be dad!" I yelled.
We started laughing and dancing around like crazies. The people joined us in our celebration with their claps and screams while the band kept playing for us.
"Free drinks people. Tonight is a celebration!" Jake yelled from the bar.
I hugged my Brownie Eyes to me. Our engagement and coming baby definitely was cause for celebration.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
What do you think? I´m surprised since I didn´t think about a baby but they wanted it I guess.
See you soon!
