Chapter 10
Two days, that's how long I've been back from Isle Esme. Edward didn't even come inside the house when we got home. He dropped me off and went down to Grey's to meet with his family, since then I have not seen him. No phone calls, no short stops over to see how I was, nothing.
I had two weeks before I started classes, and if I wasn't going to see Edward this whole week I was going to go crazy. I was down in the kitchen making cookies, for the third time. I was going to be living off chocolate chip cookies soon. I was so bored, Alice was with Jasper most of the time and Rosalie was focusing on doing the babies room so I was stuck at my own place.
Not to mention if I left the house I had my own driver and guard, which was weird to me. I was on my second batch of cookies; I already had four containers full of cookies.
"Hello?" I heard Carlisle yell while opening the front door.
"In here," I yelled back while placing my pan into the oven. Carlisle smiled at me when he saw all the containers.
"Well aren't you just getting busy in the kitchen." He laughed taking a seat at an island stool.
"Yeah, I haven't talked or seen Edward in two days so I'm just trying to keep myself busy." I shrugged. "Do you know where he is?"
"Yeah, he's safe."
"Is he, cheating on me?" I whispered while scooping more cookie dough onto a empty pan. "Alice made this comment once how people in your line of work sometimes cheat."
"He's not cheating on you." Carlisle said reaching for a cookie and popping it in his mouth. "He would never do that, because he loves you and second I would beat the shit out of him."
I chuckled "Thanks Carlisle."
"No problem Cupcake," He snatched another cookie "I'm just coming over for a short visit, can I take some of these cookie?" I nodded and he grabbed the entire container. "See you later." He leaned over and kissed the top of my head before leaving.

Edward
"Clean up the body." I sighed placing my gun back on my waist and stepping over the limp body at my feet. The warehouse we were in was silent, and I walked to the corner bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. Blood splattered my face and on my shirt, I couldn't go home like this.
"Robert," I shouted to one of my guys "take me home." I texted Bella that I was on my way home but never got a reply; I assumed that she was asleep. When I got home instead of going inside I stopped in the garage first and stripping down; tossing my clothes into the washer.
I walked in the house and stopped in the downstairs bathroom, hopping into the shower and cleaning up before going upstairs. Bella laid sleeping in bed, her hair a mess and the covers pushed down around her feet. I crawled onto my side of the bed and brought her body close to mine.
"Hmm," She grumbled and slowly opened her eyes "you're home." Her arms went around my neck and kissed me. "I missed you."
"I missed you too." I said kissing her neck "I'm sorry I was gone for so long."
"Please come home every night," She whispered "I want you home with me."
It was a promise that I couldn't make; yet I still said. "I promise." I felt her feet reach to pull my boxers down and when she realized I was wearing any she smiled.
"Very nice," Bella laughed as I rolled her onto her back. I made quick work taking off her underwear and oversized shirt of mine that she wore to bed. I kissed down her stomach, I knew she liked this, and when I finally reached all the way down I let my tongue lightly skin over her soft flesh. Bella moaned and gripped my hair, fuck she was hot, I knew what she wanted. I parted her and dove right in. I devoured her, sucking, licking around her clit.
"Edward." Bella panted and I slipped a finger into her entrance "I-I need you." Smiling I licked a few more time before coming back up so I was face to face with her. I took her leg and draped it over my shoulder and thrust into her, hard.
"Fuck," I groaned once I was in her to the hilt. Her back arched and I pulled out slowly only to slam back into her. I let her leg drop and I bent down to capture her lips with mine, thrusting my tongue in her mouth.
"I love you," She moaned scratching her nails down my back "Fuck-Edward."
Thrusting faster and faster I felt her pussy clamp down on my dick and I knew she was close, I picked up my speed and Bella groaned screaming out my name as I fucked her through her orgasm. My climax was even more powerful, making my body rigid as I came and the way her pussy hugged my dick, my release was hard and I knew she had to be pregnant from all that I had felt inside her, fuck that was outrageous. That was one hell of a welcome home.
Bella
I woke up with a smile on my face and I wasn't sure if it was because of the amazing sex Edward and I had last night or because he was still sleeping next to me when I woke up. It was around eight and I knew when he was usually home he slept until ten, unless I cooked breakfast. I slowly slipped out of bed and grabbed my underwear that were thrown on the floor and grabbed Edward's old big college shirt and walked downstairs. The house was so quiet; with five bedrooms it made you feel alone when you were the only one in the house. It was crazy to say or think but I wanted kids, I wanted to fill this place up.
We had pancake mix, and I found some sausage in the freezer. I whipped together the mix and I knew the smell of the sausage and the pancakes would wake Edward up any second. I was making the six pancake, setting them all on one plate, when I heard his footsteps come down the steps.
He was so handsome, abs hard as a rock, tattoos covering eighty-percent of his chest and arms and sexy smile. "Do I smell pancakes?" I smiled because he looked so hot in his boxers and nothing else. I could see my name tattooed on his inner bicep and it made me want to fuck him right here.
"Yeah," I smiled "I thought we could have breakfast and then I have to run to Target and get some school stuff. Want to come with me, please?"
"Yeah I have some time before I have to go down to the shop. I have a shit ton of cars to work on today."
My shoulders slumped, I knew what that meant; he wouldn't be home until extremely late. "K." I whispered finishing up and setting everything on the island.
"What did I say?" Edward asked grabbing his first pancake and some sausage while I got syrup.
"Nothing Edward, I thought that you'd be home at maybe a reasonable time tonight." I shrugged "Forget it."
"Bella, it's hard for me to be home at eight every night. I have a lot of work to do, you knew that going into this."
"No I didn't." I pushed my plate away, I suddenly not hungry. "I'm going to go shopping. You eat, go to work and I'll clean up later." I went upstairs and brushed my teeth and hair. I quickly changed into jeans, sandals and an old band t-shirt I had before grabbing my purse and going downstairs.
When in the car I called Alice, not giving a shit if she was with Jasper. "What's up Cullen?"
"Come to Target with me," I sighed "I'm school shopping. I need a ton of new shit and my husband is pissing me off."
Alice laughed on the other line "Alright, Jasper is going to drop me off at Target. Want to have a sleepover tonight?"
"Yes." I smiled, because I really needed some Alice time. I waited inside the store for Alice and when she saw me she ran and hugged me. "Oh I missed you little one."
"Talk to me," She said reaching for a cart "what's going on at home."
"Nothing, that's the point. He's literally never home, I eat alone, I cook alone, I watch television alone, I am alone."
"He's always worked to much." She sighed and looked at all the notebooks when we walked into the supply aisle.
"I wish he'd take some time off and chill with me. He just kept eating when I left the house too, didn't even try and fight with me."
"He's probably tired." Alice smiled showing me some folders and I liked them, she tossed them in the cart.
"I miss him, especially since we didn't get a long honeymoon." I grabbed some pens and pencils. "I didn't know marrying him I'd see him less."
"Stop being sad," Alice said grabbing me some folders, binders and grabbing a small black book bag. "Let's go get some cupcake mix, and lots of chocolate." She looped her arm with mine while her free hand pushed the cart.
"Am I being childish?" I asked as we finally ringed out.
"No you're being a wife, yes you might bitch a little but I would to if Jasper was never around and didn't get a honeymoon."
I shrugged; I didn't know what to think anymore. I paid for my supplies and we headed back to my house, which was empty. The dishes were done, that was nice but other then that Edward was gone. "You know people follow us when we drive alone, why not drive with one of the drivers?"
"I'm lazy." I sighed setting all my school stuff in the living room. "Plus I like driving and jamming out to music, I can't do that with some random driver in the car."
"Bella, it's how it's got to be. Sooner or later Edward is going to force you to use the driver, it's how my dad said he had to be towards my mom."
"Enough," I said grabbing the cupcake mix and frosting we got "lets go make these so I can get fat."
We spent the next the two hours jamming to Carly Rae Jepson's new album while baking cupcakes.
"Can I tell you something weird?" I said while icing a cupcake.
"Of course," Alice mumbled.
"I want kids, like is that weird? I don't know if it's because I'm married and it's just assumed that you should pop out kids, it's just this house is so big for just two people."
"I don't think that's weird." Alice smiled "I think that's what happens when you fall in love, you want to start a family."
"Yeah." I huffed, "I don't know." I missed Edward, even though he was here this morning. I wanted to be baking cupcakes with him, or watching a movie.
"Cheer up buttercup, we're going to have a fantastic time tonight."

"Bella," I felt Alice nudge me "Bella your phone." I slowly opened my eyes and rolled over to grab my iPhone off the charger, the clock flashed '2:30am' at me.
"Hello?" I groaned snuggling back into my pillow. I told Alice to sleep in bed with me last night because I didn't like sleeping alone.
"Bella, it's Carlisle," I was alert now.
"What's wrong?" I asked sitting up and noticed Alice had passed back out.
"Do not freak out, Edwards in the hospital." My heart froze, oh my god. "He's just a little banged up, nothing to bad. Listen to me, are all the doors locked in the house?"
"Um yeah?" I rubbed the top of my head "Edward's fine right? Should I come down there?"
"No." Carlisle said quickly "Stay home, do not leave the house okay? I know Alice is with you, do not let her know something is going on. Edward should be discharged in another half hour."
"Carlisle, what's going on?"
"Stay inside." The line went dead.
Edward
"Very lucky Mr. Cullen." The nurse smiled at me while stitching up the tiny gash on my upper arm. "The blade didn't go to deep."
I gave her a small smile; she was not someone I wanted to have a conversation with. I was working late, my shop was empty, sent the entire shop home for the night. Little did I know a few guys that Emmett had pissed off a few months ago came to take it out on me. One got away, the one that sliced my arm and also a tiny cut on my chest with a knife, the other punk that took a few good hits at my face giving me a cut lip and the start of a black eye, dead.
"Whoa, your tattoos are amazing." She was working on my arm that was covered from shoulder to wrist, the arm that on my inner bicep held Bella's name. She finished on my arm and looked at the cut on my chest, letting her hands linger a little to long. She was cute, maybe mid twenties, but just cute. She wasn't Bella, my Bella.
"I told her to not leave the house." My dad sighed walked back into the room.
"This doesn't need stitches," She placed a Band-Aid over it. "Keep the cut with stitches clean, if it bothers you take some Aspirin. As for your face, ice is the best thing that I can say."
"Thanks, are we good to go?" I asked as my dad grabbed my shirt and helped me put it on. It was a little stiff to raise my arm but nothing to bad.
"Yeah, the doctor told me to repeat all that." She blushed "I'm Becky by the way."
"Nice to meet you Becky." I said passing her and following my dad outside of the emergency room. "Did you call Emmett?"
"Not yet, the minute he hears what happen he's going to drive over to Oregon and kill other guys and I don't have enough people to send with him." My dad said ushering me into his car.
"Fucking bastards, the one that got away is lucky." I sighed pulling my phone out of my pocket and noticing I had more then ten missed texts from Bella.
I made cupcakes; they're on the island. –B
Hope you're not still mad at me from this morning? –B
I'm sorry I love you. –B
I'm going to bed Alice is sleeping over. See you in the morning? Night, love you. –B
Carlisle just called me, please tell me you're okay? –B
Edward please if you're mad at me just tell me that you'll be home soon. –B
I wasn't mad at her, I hadn't had my phone on me most of the day and if I did it was on silent, I never meant to ignore her.
On my way home now, I'm not mad at you and I'm okay. I love you. –E
"I'm dropping you off and having Robert and Gino watch the house. Stay inside, and don't leave. I'll have Jasper come and get Alice at around eight. Take a few days off, two at the most, let that thing heal and if any of Benny's guys try something we'll know."
I nodded, my dad was right; I needed to take it easy. We weren't close the hospital, a fucking twenty-five minute drive. When we pulled up I gave my dad a small hug and walked up to the house, when I closed the front door and locked it I heard Bella's feet coming down the stairs. I turned just in time to see her throw herself at me.
"Oh my god," She cried into my chest "I was so scared, Carlisle freaked me out made me think you got shot."
I wiped at her eyes and gave her lips a tiny peck "I'm fine, just a little accident at work. Nothing to worry about, okay?"
"Yeah." She nodded "Your face," Her hand moved down my arm and I flinched with she skimmed my cut. "I'm sorry."
"Just a little cut, needs to heal." We walked into the kitchen and I immediately went to the cupcakes, they were fucking amazing. "Go back upstairs and go to sleep."
"I can't sleep now." She toyed with her wedding and engagement ring twirling it around her finger, something she only did when nervous or thinking. "You promise me you're okay?"
"Promise," I said reaching for another cupcake "grab me some milk." While she did that I sent Jasper a text to get Alice around seven, I wanted to be alone with Bella.
"Here" She slid the full glass over to me.
"I see the bags under you eyes, please go back up to sleep." I wrapped my good arm around her while my other hand held a cupcake. "I'm fine."
"Are you going to be here when I wake up? If not I'm not going to go to sleep because I haven't seen you all day." God her love was something else, I wanted to eat her up.
"I'm going to be here in the morning, promise." I kissed her "Go sleep baby." She gave me a small smile and kissed me back. I watched her walk back upstairs, her ass was something else, I loved looking at it. I walked away knowing I shouldn't have another cupcake and went into my office, I needed to clean my gun because if anyone came into this house uninvited they were dead.
