BPOV

After dad dropped off Grayson's medicine, I gave him some and put them both down for a nap as I went to start making dinner.

I hated that my babies were sick, but it was an advantage to have a doctor in the family.

I was a bit worried about Edward, he sent me a text a while ago and he was still gone.

I hope nothing has came up.

I can't help but worry with people like Caius out there and other people who would love to take down the Cullen's.

I hoped that Edward's plan of going legit would work, I don't mind the life that we lead, but if it was possible for us all to live safely and not worry about anything happening, I'm all for it.

I just put the stuffed shells in the oven to bake, when I heard the front door open.

"Edward?"

"Yeah baby, its me."

I walked out of the kitchen to go meet him.

He was taking off his shoes as I walked up to him.

"How did it go?" I asked looking up into his flat green eyes.

He took a deep breath as he unbuttoned his coat," Alice is really sick - I don't know that she'll ever be herself again."

"Why? What did she say?" I asked as I touched his cheek.

His eyes didn't meet mine and I knew it couldn't be good.

"Edward, please just tell me. Don't hide things from me," I said as I took his hand in mine and leading him to the couch.

"She's blaming you still - she said some really horrible things."

"Like what?"

"Well one thing she said is that this baby probably isn't mine."

"Oh my god, she's totally lost her don't believe that do you?"

"Of course I don't baby, she's out of her mind."

"I'm glad you don't believe her. I would never cheat on you, ever. What else did she have to say?"

"I know you wouldn't, baby. Apparently her and Jane cooked up this plan to separate us."

"Why? Never mind, I know why. Jane still wants you," I said softly, knowing that is what is behind this.

"Yeah, thats what Alice said."

"Well too bad, she can't and will never have you. You are mine, forever," I said as I moved to sit in his lap. "Did she say anything about Aro?"

I moved my fingers through his hair as he leaned his head against my chest.

"Yeah - she gave Jane info that lead to his death."

"Oh my god. How horrible. How did you take that?"

My heart was breaking for my husband and family.

"I wanted to strangle her with my bare hands right there in her room."

"I'm sorry, Edward. I know how close you were to her," I said as I stroked his cheek.

He leaned into my touch, breathing deeply, trying to stay calm I think.

"She called you a bitch a few times and I nearly lost. I told her that she's dead to me and I left," he said flatly.

I pulled his head down to my shoulder and ran my fingers over his back.

"I'm sorry," I whispered as I held him to me.

"I know," he said as he heaved a deep sigh.

"How are you feeling? I can call mom and dad to cancel dinner tonight."

"Okay, there's no reason to cancel, I'll be fine."

I nodded as I continued rubbing his back.

"That feels good, love," he said softly. "How are the kids?"

"Sleeping - I gave them a dose of the meds after dad came back."

"That's good. They should start feeling better soon. What time is everyone coming over?"

"In about a half an hour."

"Oh, are you almost done with dinner? I don't want to let you go yet. Can we lay on the couch for a bit?"

"Sure, I have a few minutes, though dinner is already in the oven."

He laid back on the couch and pulled me on top of him.

"I just want to hold you, baby," he said wrapping his arms around my back.

He kissed the side of my face gently as he moved his hands up and down my back.

It felt nice to be held in his warm embrace, I couldn't deny him anything when he sounded so broken.

"How did you feel after you went to the cemetery?" I asked softly.

"A little bit better."

"You know I'm here for you whenever you need to talk," I said as I slipped my fingers under the hem of his shirt and ran my fingers over his skin of his stomach.

"I know baby, you're my rock."

"I try, you just have to let me in," I said as I moved my fingers through the hairs under his belly button.

"Baby, if you don't stop that, I won't be held accountable for what I do," he said with a smirk.

"I suppose I'll be good since your parents will be here soon."

"You can continue this later, baby," he said softly as he nuzzled my neck.

"Definitely."

I couldn't wait till later, I wanted to take care of my husband. Perhaps I'll get out the handcuffs and blindfold tonight.

I couldn't help but smirk at the thought of him handcuffed and blindfolded as I rode him.

"What's with the smirk, love?" he asked as I sat up.

"Just thinking about what I want to do to you later."

"Mmm...I'm sure I'll like whatever it is, baby."

"You will," I said as the doorbell rang.

"Time to be good," he said with a wink.

"Yeah, are you up for the challenge?" I smirked.

"Yeah I think so."

Edward went to let his family in as I went upstairs to get the kids.

Once upstairs I went into Bailey's room and got her up and changed her.

Then I went in and picked up Grayson, I changed his diaper and checked his temperature.

He seemed to have a slight fever but not as bad as this morning.

I carefully carried him down the stairs as Bailey held my hand.

"How are you feeling, big girl? Edward asked her.

"Bedder da-da," she said.

"That's good," he said swinging her up into his arms and kissing her.

I couldn't help but smile at the interaction between them.

"How's Grayson, love?"

"Still a little warm but not as bad as this morning."

"Pop-pop," Bailey squealed as she wiggled in Edward's arms.

"Hello, sweetheart," Carlisle said.

"Aunty Ren, how are you?" I asked as I hugged her.

"Getting by," she said.

"Hey Aunty," Edward said coming over to her and she pulled him into a hug.

"Hello dear boy."

Edward smiled at her.

"Are things okay, sweet boy?" she asked him.

"A few tricky things, but over all going well."

"I heard that there's a new Cullen on the way. Aro would've been so excited," she said softly.

"Yes," I told her, lightly touching my stomach.

"Wonderful, when are you due?" she asked as we all sat down.

"In the summer," I said.

"Is he treating you well?" she asked looking over at Edward.

"Always," I said with a smile.

"Good, if he wasn't I'd kick his ass," she said with a laugh.

I laughed though I knew she meant it.

We all walked into the dining room as I went to get dinner out of the oven.

"Is there anything I can help you with Bella?" Renata asked.

"Yes, please, do you mind getting drinks for everyone?"

"No, I don't mind," she said as she busied herself getting drinks.

Edward came up behind me, "Thanks for letting her help. She needs to feel needed."

"I'm glad for the help."

"I always help you, baby," he said as he grabbed the basket of bread.

"I know, but extra help is alway welcome too, gives me extra time to kiss my gorgeous husband."

"Mmm...I like that idea," he murmured as I kissed his lips.

"More later," I whispered against his lips.

"Eat now ma-ma? Ba-ee hunwry."

"Yes sweetie, it's time to eat."

"Yay," she said as I put some stuffed shells and a bit of salad and bread on her plate.

"Tanks ma-ma."

"You're welcome, lovely girl."

Everyone helped themselves to the food and the conversation flowed around the table as we ate.

"Jasper said you visited Alice today," dad said.

"Yes," Edward said in a tense voice.

"Did she say or do something Edward?" he asked.

"I don't really want to talk about it in front of the kids, she was pretty bad."

Carlisle nodded as we continued eating.

"It's sad what is going on with poor Alice," Renata said as I heard Edward gritting his teeth.

I reached for his hand under the table and gave it a squeeze.

"Bella, this is really good," Esme said with a smile.

"Thank you," I told her with a smile.

The rest of dinner went by in a tense silence and then Edward and his dad cleared away the dishes as Esme and I went to put the kids to bed.

Once we finished we walked downstairs to see that Edward and Carlisle had dessert all set up.

Renata was laughing at something Carlisle was saying.

"Thank you," I said looking at Carlisle.

"No problem."

"Are the kids asleep, baby?" Edward asked as I sat next to him.

"They are waiting for daddy to kiss them, you better hurry though, they were pretty tired."

"Okay, I'll do that right now," he said as he dashed upstairs.

"It's so good to see that boy smiling so much, Bella. He is so much like my Aro in the way he loves you and his children," Renata said softly with a sad smile. "I should tell him that."

"That would make Edward very happy to hear that."

"I shall tell him that, dear Bella," she said softly as she touched my hand.

She seemed much older now than when I first met her.

Edward came bounding down the stairs and sat close to me, "Were they asleep?"

"Grayson was but Bailey was waiting for me."

"I figured, she was a bit upset I took her upstairs without a daddy kiss."

"Yeah, she loves me," he said with a smirk.

"We all do, silly," I told him with a laugh.

"It's so nice to see you both smiling and happy," Esme said.

"Thanks, it feels good," I said smiling over at Edward.

"Edward dear, I wanted you to know that you remind me so much of my Aro in the way you love Bella and your children. He loved me so much and even though we didn't have children he loved you and your siblings like his own," Renata said to him as she took his hand in hers.

"That means everything to me aunty," he said as he gave her a hug.

"Son, tell us what happened with Alice," Carlisle said as Edward pulled away from Renata.

"She said a lot of really horrible things about Bella, accused her of being less than faithful."

"That's just ridiculous," Carlisle said. "What the hell is her problem?"

"I don't know, dad. She was nothing like the Alice I've always known."

"What aren't you saying Edward?" dad asked.

"I don't know if I should say anymore, dad, it will only hurt people in this room."

"Just say whatever it is, and we can deal with it as a family," Esme said as I took Edward's hand and nodded at him.

"Alice fed Jane the info that led to Aro's murder."

There was a collective gasped from Esme and Renata.

"W...why would she do that?" Esme asked.

"I'm not sure mom, none of her reasons made sense."

"What were her reasons?" Renata asked as she dabbed her eyes with a tissue.

"She said no one respected her."

"What kind of stupid reason is that?" dad all but yelled.

"I don't know dad, she started babbling on and on about respect - it didn't make any sense at all."

"Did she say anything else?" Mom asked.

"She said everyone just wanted her to be Bella."

"That's ridiculous," Renata said. "Its a shame that she doesn't see that we all loved her for her. Even Aro."

"She doesn't see it at all Aunty - it's like everything I said while I was there was completely wasted."

"I find it all sad," Bella said softly.

"It is sad, and I don't know what any of us can do for her," Edward said.

"I'm not sure," Dad said as he looked over at Edward.

Silence filled the room, we all seemed lost in our own thoughts.

"I'm done, dad. I told her that she is dead to me," Edward said.

I heard Esme sob next to Carlisle.

"No...Edward, you can't mean that."

"She has betrayed me, Bella, Aro and Renata in every possible way - I don't want to know her anymore."

"I get that but she is your sister," mom said.

"Well that relation certainly means nothing to her - look at all the horrible things she did."

"Esme, Edward is doing just as Aro would've done. Yes, she's his sister, but she has betrayed us all. If she can nearly break up their marriage from the hospital, what else is she capable of. Edward dear boy, you've made the right decision. Never doubt that Aro would've been proud of you and the decisions you are making now for the family. Go with you are planning," Renata said as she squeezed his hand.

It was as if she knew about his plan to go legit.

Edward hugged his aunt and I knew her blessing meant the world to him.

We ate our dessert quietly, Esme seemed like she had more to say but after what Renata said she bit her tongue.

After everyone was finished I started to gather the dishes from everyone.

Esme helped me clean up.

"Do you think Edward is right in how he's treating Alice?" she asked me as we loaded the dishwasher.

"It's up to him - only he can say how much her betrayal hurt him."

"What are your thoughts on it?"

"I thinks it's sad since they used to be so close, but how much is Edward expected to forgive after her monstrous betrayal?"

"I guess, I just don't like seeing my children at odds," she said with a sigh.

"I don't like seeing it either but if he keeps forgiving her she'll never stop."

"You do have a point there," she said as we walked back out into the living room.

I went and wrapped my arm around Edward's waist as he stood with his aunt and dad.

"Hey love," he said looking down at me.

I smiled up at him as I leaned against him.

"Thank you for coming to dinner," he told his parents and aunt.

"Thank you so much for inviting me dears," Renata said to us.

"Your welcome anytime, Aunty Ren," Edward said as he hugged her. "I love you."

"I love you too, dear boy. Never doubt know what to do," she said softly as she hugged him again.

I could see the weight just lifting off of his shoulders as she gave him the reassurance he needed.

After they left, he pulled me to him and brushed his lips against mine.

"Thank you for tonight, love."

"Your welcome, but I really didn't do anything."

"You were strong for me, you always are - I was so damn mad when I came home."

"I know you were. I'm always here for you, baby," I said as I took his hand and led him up to our room.

"What are you up to, Mrs. Cullen?" he asked with a smirk.

"Something fun," I told him with a wink.

We checked on the kids before going into our room.

Both were sleeping like little angels.

I led him into our room and closed the door, my confidence was soaring as I looked up at him.

"Take off your clothes and lay on the bed," I told him as I went to the dresser to retrieve the handcuffs and blindfold.

He did as he was told with a huge grin on his face.

I stepped out of my clothes and slowly took off my bra and underwear as his eyes roamed over my body.

I loved when he looked at me with such blatant lust.

"Fuck, you're so beautiful baby."

"You look pretty damn good yourself," I told him, letting my eyes drink in his gorgeous rock hard body.

I straddled his legs as I ran my hands up his chest and I pulled his arms up over his head and handcuffed him to the headboard.

"Mmm...you look so good now," I said as I leaned down and nipped his bottom lip.

I reached for the blindfold and ran it over his chest.

"I'm going to blindfold you, any objections?" I asked softly.

"None at all, baby, I'm at your mercy."

"Good to know," I said as I leaned over and fastened it around his head.

"Can you see me?"

"Nope," he said with a grin.

"Good. Just feel," I said as I slowly kissed his lips.

His hips flexed toward me and he moaned deep in his chest.

I moved my hand down his chest and over his stomach as I wrapped my hand around his erect cock.

"Fuck," he hissed as I started to moved my hand up and down him.

I loved the feel of his rigid cock in my hand.

"Mmm... I love how hard you are for me."

"Always for you, baby," he groaned out.

I released him and sat back on my heels.

"Hmm...what to do," I said softly. "You're making me so wet...I want you so badly."

"I'm all yours baby, but I want you so fucking bad too."

I slowly raised up and gripped his cock in my hand and guided him inside me.

"Fuck," he moaned out as I lowered myself fully onto him.

"Yes...you feel so good," I said as I leaned down to kiss him, our tongues tangling together as I started to move over him slowly.

He thrusted up into me as I rolled my hips over him.

God, he felt so fucking good buried deep inside me.

"Ed...ward...fuck you feel...mmm...so good. "

"So do you, baby," he groaned out as he thrusted harder.

"Fuck yes, again, Edward," I panted as I moved over him faster.

He pushed up into me again and again, each time a little harder.

I bounced on him harder and faster as I placed my hands on his chest.

"Fuck...fuck...yes, oooh yes," I murmured as we moved together.

"Fuck, Bella, I'm so close."

"Y...yes, mmm...me too," I said as I arched my back and moved faster over him.

I could feel my walls clenching around him as I rocked harder.

"That's it baby," he groaned.

"Oooh...Edward," I screamed as my orgasm ripped through me. "Fuck...yes."

I kept moving through my orgasm and I felt him jump inside me and his warm cum filled me as he moaned out my name.

I leaned down on his chest as we breathed heavily.

"Release my hands, baby, I need to touch you."

I reached for the key and unlocked his hands and he pushed the blindfold off of his head as he wrapped his arms around me.

His hands ran up and down my back as he held me tight against him.

"You were unbelievable," he said, kissing along my neck."

"I wanted to make you feel good."

"You did way more then that, baby."

"Really? I wasn't sure about the blindfold."

"I really needed to just feel."

"I'm glad you enjoyed it," I said as I kissed his lips.

"I always enjoy everything you do, baby."

I snuggled against his chest - I felt so loved and content.

He kept his hands moving up and down my back.

"I love moments like these," I said softly.

"So do I," he said, kissing the top of my head.

"Dinner went well. I'm glad Renata said those things to you."

"It really meant a lot, in an odd way it was like getting Aro's approval."

"I know. It was like what you needed to hear. I think you are on the right track."

"Thanks, it means everything to have you on my side, I couldn't do this if you didn't approve."

"I'm always going to be on your side. Where else would I be?" I asked him as I sat up and looked into his green eyes.

"Not all husbands and wives agree, look at my parents; dad agrees with me cutting Alice from my life, but I can tell mom isn't convinced it's the right thing."

"True. I know that if I felt you were wrong I would tell you, and I'd disagree with you but it doesn't mean that I wouldn't support you."

"You are a wonderful woman, Bella, you know that?"

"Sometimes."

"Well you are all the time."

"Thanks. You're an amazing man and I'm so glad I get to spend my life with you."

He pulled my lips to his and kissed me gently...sweetly.

I moaned softly as his tongue slid against mine.

"I want you again, baby."

"I'm yours, Edward. I want you again, too," I said softly.

He rolled us and settled between my knees, pushing gently into me with a moan.

I intertwined my fingers with his and he put them on either side of my head as he slowly moved in and out of me.

"Ooh...yes, Edward," I moaned as he thrusted harder into me as our eyes locked onto each others.

There was so much love in his gaze and so much lust.

He kept his movements steady and I spiraled higher.

I could feel my orgasm building with every movement that we made.

"Yes, Edward, yes," I panted.

"I'm nearly there, baby," he said as he moved faster over me.

I reached for my nipple and pinched it between my fingers.

"Mmm...yeah baby, I love seeing you touch yourself. That is so fucking hot. Touch yourself again for me," he said as he thrusted harder and deeper inside of me.

Again I reached up and pinched my nipple between my fingers, making my pussy clamp onto his cock.

"Mmm...yes...baby, so good."

He began to move faster over me as I moaned and pulled on my nipples, then he stilled over me and I felt him spill his cum deep inside me as he chanted my name.

"Yes Edward that's it."

I gripped his shoulders tightly as I raised my hips off the bed.

"Fuck...fuck Bella, yes. So fucking good," he panted as I felt my pussy squeezing his cock.

He lowered himself gently on me and rolled us to our side.

He kissed my lips softly as he held me close to him.

"I love you my beautiful, sexy wife."

"I love you, my gorgeous husband."

I yawned against his shoulder.

"Tired, baby?"

"Yeah, my husband wore me out."

"Well let me tuck my sweet wife in."

"Are you going to sleep too?" I asked looking up at him.

"Yeah I think so - been a long day...mentally."

"Okay," I said with a smile.

I hated when he'd get out of bed and work on something.

I was so glad he was staying in bed with me.

"I just want to cuddle with my love," he said as he kissed my lips.

I smiled against him and snuggled closer.

"I'm glad you're staying in bed with me."

"I'm glad too."

I could feel my eyes getting heavy as he brushed his lips over my forehead and he rested his hands against the swell of my stomach.

"I love you, Bella."

"I love you, Edward."
