"Thanks for coming over early dad, I just wanted to talk about a few things before dinner tonight."
"No problem, son. What's going on? I can sense there's something up, I can tell it in the way you and Bella are with each other," he said as he took a seat.
"I want to tell you my plan and where I keep all my papers."
"Why? Are you expecting something to happen?"
"No...just being careful."
"Does Bella know of the meeting and where the papers are?" he asked taking a sip of his drink.
"She knows when the meeting is and where the papers are, but the plan she doesn't know anything about."
"And you want to tell me?"
"Yes, I trust you with my family, more than I do Emmett."
"Thank you, that means a lot."
"You're welcome, dad."
"When is the big meeting?" he asked.
"The day of the baby shower. That's a good time, since Bella and the kids won't be here," I said taking a sip of my drink. "It's just going to be Caius and I."
"Edward, isn't that asking for trouble?"
"I know I can take him - it will just be the two of us, man to man."
"I'm not sure I like that, too much could go wrong. Don't you think it'd be better with Emmett here?"
"Emmett is a hot head - he would shoot before the time was right."
"I'm uneasy with this plan, Edward. Does Bella know its just you and Caius?"
"Yes."
"And she's fine with it?" he asked.
"Not really, but she respects my decision."
"Okay, I'll see it your way. I'll do whatever you need me to, if something happens," he said as there was a small knock at the door.
"Come in," I said.
Bella opened the door and stepped inside, "I just wanted to let you know that dinner is ready."
"Okay love, thanks, we'll be down in a moment."
She nodded as she went back out the door.
"You both seem different, stronger," he said as he stood up.
"Thanks, I think we really are."
"Is that Bella's manicotti I smell?" he asked as we left the office and started down the stairs.
"Yes it is."
"Mmm... let's hurry. Her manicotti is almost better than your mothers and Aunty Ren's."
"Don't worry, I won't tell, dad," I said with a laugh.
I walked over and wrapped my arm around Bella's waist and whispered in her ear.
She looked over at my father and winked.
"Pop-pop, you missed Gway walking wif me. He walk now, I welped him," Bailey said.
"Good job, you're such a good big sister."
"I am. Gramma said I da best."
"You're the best big sister ever."
"Edward, sit by me son," my mom said to me.
I sat down next to my mom as my father helped Bella with dinner.
"What's up, mom?" I asked.
"Nothing, I just wanted to sit with you a moment. You and Bella seem to be doing better," she said as she moved her fingers over my hair.
"We're doing great."
"That's good to know. I know that there's something big going on. Be safe, Edward. I want more grand children," she said as she kissed my cheek as my dad brought our plates over.
I couldn't help but grin at my mom.
As my father and Bella sat down, my father reached for his glass and raised it up.
"I'd like to propose a toast to my beautiful daughter in law, may she forever have the smile that is in her eyes at this moment. To Bella," he said as he clinked his glass with hers.
Bright red flooded her face.
"To Bella," I said softly as I looked into her eyes.
She smiled and lowered her eyes.
She was simply beautiful in this moment, and I wanted nothing more than to kiss her sweet lips.
But unfortunately that had to wait.
There would be time later.
We ate and talked about the plans for Grayson's birthday.
"We're doing a super hero party."
"I can't believe he's going to be one already," my mom said. "Superhero's are really cool. You could do a cupcake pull apart cake."
"I like the sound of that," Bella said.
"Me too," I said around a mouthful of food. "I wike cupakes."
"I didn't know that Emmett was here," Bella said with a laugh.
"Sorry," I said swallowing my mouthful of food.
"Its okay," she laughed.
I enjoyed dinner with my family and my parents.
After dinner my father and I cleared the table and did the dishes as Bella, my mom and the kids sat in the living room.
"You have a beautiful family, son."
"I do. I'm a lucky man, dad. I could've threw it all away," I said as I put the glasses away.
"But you didn't and you've both come out the other side stronger."
"We are, so much stronger. I can't take the credit for it, its Bella. She made me listen to her, she didn't waiver."
"She's good for you, always has been."
"That she is, dad."
I got the tea pot and the dessert that Bella prepared and put it on a tray as my father carried the tray with the cups and plates into the living room.
"Thank you, Edward," Bella said, as we walked in.
"You're welcome, love. All part of me pampering you," I said softly as I saw my mom smiling over at me.
She winked at me as I sat the tray down.
My father handed out the plates with the cake on it and I poured the tea.
"Ma-ma, I eat cake too?"
"Of course, baby girl."
I had dad give her a small piece.
"Did you make this, Bella?" my dad asked her as he took a huge bite.
"Yes," she said softly.
"It's wonderful."
"Thank you."
We all ate the delicious cake happily and watched the kids as Bailey showed my dad how Grayson walked.
"Ba-ee stay with Pop-pop?" she asked as she sat on his lap.
"That's up to your parents."
"Ma-ma, me stay at Pop-pop's night? Pwease?" she asked.
"If it's okay with pop-pop and gramma, then it's okay with me."
"Tan I, Pop-pop, Gramma?"
"Of course, you're one of our favorite guests."
"Yay," she squealed. "Is Gway toming too?"
"That's up to pop-pop and gramma."
"If you want him too," my dad said.
"He can," I said as I looked up at Bella and she smiled.
"I'll go get them a bag ready," Bella said as she stood up.
This would be a fun night for us.
She came downstairs and handed my dad their bag as I helped them with their coats.
"I see you morrow, ma-ma and da-da. I wuv you." Bailey said.
"We love you too," we both said.
We hugged our kids before mom and dad took the kids.
We watched them leave and then I shut and locked the door.
"So now what are we going to do?" she asked looking up at me.
"I think maybe some fun time for us."
"Mmm... I think I like that idea," she said with a smile.
I winked at her and pulled her closer.
I lowered my lips to hers and kissed her slowly.
I lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around my waist as I carried her upstairs.
Her fingers were in the back of my hair as she kissed behind my ear, "What do you plan on doing to me, Mr. Cullen?"
"Mmm, so many options."
"What are you thinking?" she asked as we near the top of the stairs.
"About a hundred different things," I said with a smile.
"Go for it, I'm yours to do with as you wish."
"I plan on savoring you, Mrs Cullen," I told her.
"Mmm... I like the sound of that. Do I get to savor you also?" she asked.
"If you want."
"Of course, I want to. You are my favorite indulgence next to chocolate," she smirked.
I opened our bedroom door and walked inside, then I shut the door behind me.
I put her down on her feet and ran my fingers over her cheeks, "Am I before chocolate?"
"Yes, though I would love to have chocolate on you."
"That can be arranged, I'm sure we have chocolate sauce in the house. Stay right here, I'll go check," I told her.
"Should I get undressed?"
"Yes and wait on the bed."
I quickly made my way downstairs to the kitchen to look for chocolate sauce.
I opened the refrigerator to find both chocolate and caramel sauces, so I put some in bowls and warmed them up in the microwave.
I know she really loved the chocolate sauce, but I loved drizzling caramel over her nipples and sucking them until she was nearly ready to come.
I put them on a tray, along with some ice cubes and some whipped cream.
I think we'll have a lot of fun with this, well I have some fun with the ice cubes and her nipples.
I wonder if she'll have an aversion to being blindfolded, and if she's a good girl I won't tie her up, but if she protested I could use some of my ties to tie her to our headboard.
Mmm... just thinking about that image of her blindfolded and her arms tied to our headboard as I'm teasing her clit with the ice cubes is making my cock impossibly harder.
I hurriedly walked up the stairs to see her laying against the pillows, with her legs spread wide and her fingers running over her clit.
"You started the party without me?" I asked with a smirk. "Such a naughty girl, I guess that means I have to punish you."
"Punish away, baby. I'm feeling quite naughty," she said as she pushed one of her fingers inside her wet pussy as she let out a loud moan.
I watched as she plunged her finger in and out as she moaned softly, her eyes focused on mine.
"Isabella," I growled.
"What?" she asked innocently as she kept her finger moving.
"You.. pleasuring yourself, I am the only one who is supposed to pleasure you."
"I started thinking about your hard cock and I couldn't wait any longer."
"That's all well and good, but now I have to punish you by tying up your hands. I was just going to blindfold you, but now I have to bind your hands too."
"Do what you have to," she said with a wicked grin.
"I plan on it, baby," I said as I sat the tray down on the nightstand.
She watched as I got out the restraints and secured her hands to the head board.
"What a beautiful sight, all tied up and spread open for me. Hmm... what shall I do first?"
I reached for the blindfold and secured it around her head.
"Is this okay?" I asked.
"Mmm... yes."
I quickly stripped out of my clothes as I picked up an ice cube.
"Good," I said as I moved between her legs and pressed the ice cube gently to her clit.
I watched as she gasped in surprise at the coldness.
I blew gently on her clit and she gasped again.
"Edward," she murmured as she arched her back and pulled against her restraints.
"What is it, baby?"
"I.. I want more."
I gently pushed just the tip of the ice cube into her pussy and she gasped even louder.
I could see her arousal seeping out of her pussy and I felt my cock jump a bit.
I replaced the ice cube with my finger, pumping into her a few times.
"Yes... baby, yes," she murmured as she moved against my fingers.
I pulled them away abruptly and reached for the caramel sauce.
She growled in frustration as I drizzled the warm sauce over her nipples, letting it drip over her breast as she moaned.
I lowered my mouth to her nipple and sucked slowly.
I could hear her breathing pick up and she arched into me.
I loved how sensitive her nipples were when she's pregnant, it doesn't take much to make them hard and erect.
"E...Edward," she moaned.
I flicked my tongue back and forth over it several times.
"Fuck," she hissed out as I drizzled more caramel on her other breast, but then I drizzled it down her body too.
I followed the trail down her body, licking and sucking.
I kissed over our baby, as I continued lower.
I was loving the sounds that were coming from her lips.
"Ed...ward, fuck... I need your fingers, fuck... please."
I brushed my fingers against her slick lips - her hips flexed, trying to move herself closer.
"Isabella, hold yourself still or I will pull away again," I told her in a stern voice.
She nodded as I leaned in and flicked my tongue over her erect clit.
"F...fuck," she hissed as she held still.
I swirled my tongue around her clit before pushing a finger inside her.
"Yes.. yes, more baby."
I added a second finger as I sucked her clit between my teeth.
I moved my fingers out to grab a piece of ice and held it between my fingers as I slipped them back in and kept sucking at her clit.
"Oooh... oh god, yes, yes," she screamed as I slid my fingers in and out, pushing in deeper each time as she tried in vain to be still.
Her hips moved with my hand as she moaned and murmured my name.
I loved that I could do this to her.
I knew that when she came it was going to be hard and I was banking on her squirting all over me.
I curled my fingers upward as I sucked and nipped her clit.
Her pussy began to quiver around me and I pumped my fingers in harder.
"Edward... oh god... fuck, Edward," she gasped out as she moved against my face and my fingers.
I nipped at her clit and her pussy exploded around me. She came hard, squirting in my fingers and face.
"Mmm... yes, Edward," she panted out as a breathtaking smile crossed her face.
"Mmm, delicious," I told her.
"Come up here," she murmured.
"I'm here," I said.
"Kiss me."
I kissed her slowly and deeply.
Our tongues massaged against each others as she moaned and tasted herself on my lips and tongue.
"That was unbelievable," she said pulling away.
I reached up and pulled the blindfold from her head, and I untied her hands, letting them fall on the bed.
"It was, but who says I'm done yet."
"Mmmm," she hummed.
She wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me close.
"You never cease to amaze me, Edward."
"Why's that?"
"You just keep getting better and better."
"I like pleasing you...it pleases me."
"You always please me. What are you planning on doing now?" she asked as she leaned up to kiss my lips.
"Well there is chocolate sauce if you're interested."
"For you or me?" she asked.
"Which ever you prefer, love."
"We could do both, but I think its your turn now. Lay on your back," she said as pushed on my shoulder.
I complied - I loved this side of her.
She reached over and got the bowl of chocolate and she dipped her finger into it.
She brought it up to her lips and sucked her finger into her mouth.
"Mmm... so good. Where should I put it?" she asked as she swirled her fingers in the chocolate.
"Anywhere, love," I said looking into her chocolate brown eyes.
She dipped her fingers in the chocolate sauce and rubbed it down my cock.
I gasped a bit at the feel of the chocolate and her fingers.
"You like that? Tell me how much you like it."
"I love it, baby."
"Tell me more, Edward."
She ran her tongue over the chocolate as she looked up at me.
"I love seeing your pink lips wrapped around my tip," I moaned as she slipped her tongue out and licked at it.
"I love your big chocolate cock," she murmured.
"Oh god, baby. So fucking good."
I felt her tongue licking up to the tip of my cock and then she slowly ran it around the ridge.
"Fuck," I groaned out.
She slowly slipped me into her mouth and she started to move her mouth up and down my hard cock.
"Oh fuck, baby, your mouth is perfect."
She hummed around me as she relaxed her throat as she took me in deeper.
"Oh god Bella," I moaned as she sucked harder.
It felt like she was taking me in deeper than she has ever done before.
I moved my hand to her hair and gripped it in my fingers.
She moaned as I slightly pulled her hair and she sucked and licked the tip of my cock as it twitched in her mouth.
"Yes, Bella, yes," I moaned out.
She hollowed out her cheeks and pulled back a bit as my cock hardened further and twitched again before exploding in her mouth, sending streams of hot come down her throat.
"Fuck love," I moaned. "That's it, swallow it all."
She swallowed around me and then she licked me clean as she slowly released my cock from her mouth.
She sat up on her knees and looked down at me.
"Oh Bella...you are magnificent," I said taking her face in my hands.
"Did you enjoy that?" she smirked up at me.
"Loved it, most definitely."
"Mmm.. it was most delicious."
I pulled her into my arms and held her tight.
"I love you so much, and I love bringing you pleasure too."
"I love you...more than anything."
"Show me," she said softly. "Make love to me."
Her voice was soft and her eyes were pleading as she clung to me.
I could feel myself getting hard again.
She was amazing and she doesn't realize the power she has over me.
Her mere touch can make me hard, and I wanted to show her how much I loved and needed her.
I nudged her onto her back and nudged her legs apart.
I loved seeing her so open and ready for me.
I slipped into her gently until I was fully sheathed.
"Fuck," I breathed out as she wrapped her legs around my back, pulling me in deeper.
She arched up, her body meeting mine.
I brushed my fingers over her cheeks and she smiled up at me.
"So beautiful," I murmured.
She smiled a shy smile but doesn't look away and doesn't argue - I hope she is finally believing how beautiful she is.
We moved against each other, nothing hurried about it. Both of us enjoying the moment and each other.
I loved every little sound she made.
I could see on her face when she was close...the way her mouth dropped open and her eyes fluttered.
It wouldn't be long now, I picked up my pace wanting to bring us over the edge at the same time.
She shattered around me, pulling me with her and we both called out together.
I cradled her against me as we both shuddered and clung to each other, kissing deeply.
"I love you," she murmured quietly against my lips.
"I love you, my Bella."
I didn't want to let her go, and it seemed like she wasn't letting me go either but I needed to move us so that I wasn't putting too much weight on her.
I tried to move us a bit but she gripped me tighter.
"I'm just rolling us to our sides, baby, I'm not going anywhere."
She nodded and loosened her grip a bit as I rolled us to our sides.
I pulled her back against me, holding her tight.
"I.. I'm just not ready to let go," she said softly against my shoulder.
"Neither am I, baby."
I leaned in and captured her lips in mine and I kissed her softly.
She sighed against me and her arms tightened around me.
I knew where all this was coming from, her fears of something happening to me.
"Everything will be okay, my angel."
She nodded as she brought her hand up to the side of my face, as her thumb stroked my cheek.
"You have to come back to me, Edward...you have to."
"I promise, baby. I could never leave you or our children," I said softly as we held each other.
"What are you grinning about?" she asked.
"I just love seeing your amazing body, and seeing our son growing inside there," I said as I brushed my fingers over him.
She smiled as her hand covered mine.
"Don't you ever get tired of seeing this?"
"No baby, its amazing and you're so beautiful with each stage of your pregnancy. I love how your body changes, the curves of your hips and the fullness of your breasts," I said as I brushed my fingers over them as she squirmed against me.
"Edward," she whined.
"Let me compliment you - I love every single inch of you."
She smiled over at me as I continued massaging her breasts and hearing her little moans.
"You captivate me. Everything you do amazes me and I love watching you with our kids, they are your heart. You'd do anything for them, and for me. I will forever want and need you, love. Nothing will ever take me from you," I said as I laid her back on the bed as I hovered over her.
I could see the tears starting to form in her eyes.
I nudged her legs apart with my knees and I gently slipped inside her.
"I am so glad that we found each other, and that we stayed strong together. I'm never letting you go," I murmured as I moved slowly in and out of her.
"Edward," she murmured as she pulled my lips down to hers.
I kissed her long and slow.
I couldn't get enough of her as our bodies moved together, and we kissed as her hands slipped up into my hair pulling slightly.
Our moans and the squeaking sound of our bed were the only sounds you could hear.
"Edward," she cried out as her body clamped onto mine.
I pumped into a couple more times before I spilled deep inside her as my body trembled above her.
"Edward, Edward," she murmured over and over.
We clung to each other breathlessly as I rolled us over to our sides.
I smiled over at her as I held her, "Let's get some sleep, love."
"Okay," she said sleepily.
"I love you, Isabella Marie Cullen. Nothing will ever change that," I murmured as I kissed her forehead.
"And I love you, Edward Anthony Masen Cullen - nothing will ever change that either."
I could hear her breathing even out and I knew she was sleeping.
I loved holding her as she slept, she looked like an angel sleeping.
I moved a few stray hairs from her face and snuggled in close as my eyes began to close.
I woke up sometime later to an empty bed.
I looked over at the clock and it said it was a little after three.
I sat up and looked towards the bathroom but there was no light coming from there.
Where could Bella be?
I got out of bed and pulled on my boxers as I walked out of our room.
It was quiet in the house as I made my way downstairs.
I looked in the kitchen but she wasn't in there, she must have been at one time since the tea kettle was still quite warm.
"Bella," I called softly as I walked towards the music room.
I opened the door and stepped inside to see her curled up on the couch listening to the cd I made of my songs.
"Baby," I said from the doorway.
"Sorry, I couldn't sleep and I didn't want to wake you."
"Are you feeling okay?" I asked as I sat next to her.
"Yeah...just restless I guess.
"You could've woke me up," I said pushing her hair off her shoulder.
"You needed your sleep, too."
I nodded. "Is there something bothering you?"
"Just my normal worries."
"Anything I can do to help take those worries away?"
"No...not till this mess with Caius is over."
"It will be over very soon, the day after tomorrow, baby. I promise then our lives will be easy and peaceful."
"I hope so."
I smiled over at her as I ran my fingers through her hair, "It will be."
"Okay...I trust you."
I kissed her shoulder as I pulled her into my lap, her arms went around my back
Her fingers stroked over my chest as I deepened our kiss, the music of her lullaby played in the background.
"I want to feel you, Edward."
"I'm right here, baby," I said softly as I pushed her robe off her shoulders revealing her full round breasts to me.
My thumb brushed over her hardening nipples as she moaned softly.
I brushed them again and again.
She moved in my lap against my erect cock, as I moaned.
"Mmm... so hard, baby," she murmured as she slid her hand down to it.
Her fingers moved along my shaft before she put her hand inside my boxers and wrapping her hand around me.
"Do you want to go back to our bedroom?" I murmured against her neck.
"Yes," she says breathlessly.
"Hold on tight, baby," I said as I stood up with her in my lap.
I carried her quickly up to our room and I laid her back on the bed as I stepped out of my boxers.
I got on the bed and she sat up and pushed me onto my back.
"My turn," she said as she straddled my legs.
I watched as she raised herself up and guided me inside her.
"Fuck, you look amazing on top of me," I murmured.
She braced her hands in my chest and started moving.
I moved my hands to her hips as she rocked over me.
I was mesmerized by her, watching her breasts bounce with her every move.
"Mmm... yes, Edward," she moaned out as I thrusted upward into her.
We moved together, both of us moaning.
"Yes, love that's it," I said as she moved faster over me, her moans growing louder.
I moved one hand to her breast, pinching her nipple between my fingers.
"Fuck," she yelled out as I felt her pussy clenching over me.
"Yes, baby, that's it," I groaned out.
She moved herself faster over as her orgasm took over and she came hard on me, screaming out my name as my cock jumped inside her.
"Yes, yes... Edward, fuck," she murmured.
Her pussy milked me and my cock exploded inside me.
"Fuck," I roared out as her pussy clamped on to me.
I gripped her hips as I emptied inside her.
She collapsed on my chest and I wrapped my arms around her as we both tried to calm our breathing.
"I love you," I panted out as I kissed the top of her head.
"Mmm.. I love you, too."
She yawned against me and I knew we had to get a bit more sleep.
"Let's sleep a bit, love."
She snuggled closer to me and kissed my chest lightly.
I wrapped my arms around her and listened to her breathing.
It didn't take long for it to even out and for her to drift back to sleep.
I fell back asleep with my wife in my arms, right where she is supposed to be.
"Daddy!" Is the yell I woke up to. I opened my eyes and Bailey was bouncing on the bed next to me.
Holy hell, how did she get in here? I thought they stayed with my parents.
"Bailey, how did you get here?" I asked as I sat up and rubbed my eyes.
"Gramma and Pop-pop," she said as she leaned over and kissed Bella's face.
"No.. don't wanna, Edward," she murmured.
"I not Edwoord, I, Ba-ee, Ma-ma," she said in her high pitched little voice.
"Bailey, how.. when, huh," she stammered.
"Yeah, she woke me up by bouncing on the bed. My parents brought them, so I imagine they are still here," I said as I got up and slipped on some clothes. "I'll head down there and see them. Come down when you get dressed."
"Okay. Edward?"
"Yeah," I said turning towards her.
"Last night was amazing," she said as she stood up to find some clothes.
"It was. I wouldn't mind a repeat in the near future."
"Mmm, me too, anytime you want."
"See you in a few minutes," I said as I went out the door.
I went downstairs to see my parents and Grayson sitting on the couch.
"Is everything okay?"
"Yeah, it good. Bailey wanted to come home, she missed her mommy," my mom said.
"Ok, were they good?"
"Of course," my dad said. "How was your night? Any chance she got you to change your plan?"
"Awesome night - and no, plan is on."
"Oh, I was hoping," he said as I picked up Grayson.
"I've got it all worked out, dad, it's going to be good."
"Da-da," Grayson said as he pulled my face to his.
"I hope so, Caius is crafty," he said as I snuggled my face against Grayson.
I looked up to see Bella and Bailey walking into the living room.
She looked a bit pale and I knew she has heard what dad said.
"How were they, mom?" Bella asked as she stood by my mom.
"Very good."
"Good. Would you like to stay for breakfast?" she asked.
She averted her eyes from mine as she waited for my parents to answer.
"That would be nice, thanks," Dad said.
Bella sat Bailey down and excused herself to the kitchen.
"I'll be right back," I said walking into the kitchen behind Bella.
"Baby?"
She didn't turn around as I walked into the kitchen.
"Bella, talk to me. I know you heard what my dad said," I said softly as I wrapped my arms around her waist.
I could feel her breathe deeply, I knew she was trying to be brave.
"I know what your dad said is true...still just hard to hear it, makes it seem more real."
"Trust me, baby. I've studied how Caius operates. I know what to expect."
"I know, but you can't know his mind...I can't help but worry, you're my everything, Edward."
"I swear to you, it will be okay. I am smarter than he thinks, and I can handle myself. You're my everything too. Let's make some breakfast and enjoy our day together."
"Okay," she said quietly.
We worked side by side to make eggs, bacon, toast, cinnamon rolls and some cut up fruit.
I really enjoyed working in the kitchen with her.
"I'll go get everyone."
She nodded and started setting the table.
"Breakfast is ready," I said when I came into the living room.
My mom picked up Grayson as Bailey ran ahead of her.
"Everything okay, Edward?" my dad asked.
"Yes, Bella just worries."
"She has every right to. I'm worried for you too," he said.
"I'll be okay, promise."
He nodded as we went in the kitchen.
"Wow, Bella you out did yourself," he said as he kissed her cheek.
"I had a good helper," she says winking at me.
"Edward cooks, since when and what did he make? So I won't eat it," he said with a laugh.
"He cooks for me all the time," she said with a grin.
He laughed as we made our plates and we all sat down to eat.
It was nice to have my parents here with us.
We ate and talked and laughed at Bailey as she told us about Unca Emmett and his crazy dance.
"You'll have to show us," my dad said.
"Otay," Bailey said. "Me finish then dance."
We all laughed, she was so excited.
After we finished, me and dad cleared the table and did the dishes.
"Daddy, are you and Pop-pop, toming?" Bailey yelled.
"Yes sweetie, we're coming," I said.
"Otay. Ma-ma music," she said as we came in the living room.
Bella turned the music on and Bailey started shaking her little bottom.
She put her hands on her hips and wiggled them as she spun around.
We were all rolling with laughter.
"Oh my, did I drop him on his head?" my mom exclaimed.
"I think you must have, mom."
The song ended and Bailey took a bow.
We all clapped and cheered - she was too cute.
"Unca Emmy, dance gooder than me."
"I think yours is the best," I told her.
"Weally da-da? I da best?" she asked.
"Of course, sweet girl," I smiled at her as she wrapped her arms around my neck.
"I wuv you da-da."
"I love you too, Bailey," I told her as I nuzzled her cheek.
"Da.. da.., me," Grayson said as he toddled over to me.
I scooped him up in my arms, "I love you too, buddy."
I heard Bella sniffle as she watched us.
"Ma-ma," Grayson said and I moved my arm to pull Bella into our hug.
Everything that was precious to me was in my arms at this moment.
"Aww... " we heard from my parents.
"Get the camera, Carlisle," I heard mom said.
"I forgot they were here," I whispered to Bella and she laughed softly as she nuzzled closer to me.
"Look at pop-pop kiddos," dad said.
We all turned to look at him and he took the picture.
"That one is definitely for the mantle," my mom said looking at the picture.
"I would like a copy," Bella said.
"Of course dear," mom said with a smile.
We got up and the kids went to play as my parents got ready to leave.
"Bella, I'll see you tomorrow at the shower," my mom said as she slipped on her coat.
"Okay," Bella said softly as she came to my side.
She slipped her arm around my waist.
"Be safe, son," my dad said as he looked me in the eye.
"I will, dad."
He nodded as he followed my mom out the door and I pulled Bella into a hug.
"Is there anything you want to do today?" I asked her.
"Just spend it with you."
"Perfect, that's all I want to do too. Spend my day with you and our kids," I said as I kissed her softly.
"Ma-ma, tissing boys yucky," Bailey said as she pulled on her leg.
"You'll like it some day...but not for twenty years," I said with a laugh.
She giggled, "Tome play wif us. We make tea and Gway is wearing a trown."
"Okay," I said as I let her lead me away.
We played tea with our kids and I loved every minute of it.
These are the days I hoped to have more of as we got out of the business.
I'd have a normal hours with no threats of danger.
"What are you thinking?" Bella asked softly.
"Just how I want more of this, and once we are out of the business, this will be our normal. I'll have a 9 to 5 job, and be home with you and the kids more," I said as I took her hand in mine.
"That I'll like."
"Plus we'll be in no danger. When I met with the other families in the syndicate, they were very supportive of the choice I was making. A lot of them wished us luck at getting out of the business."
"That makes me feel some better."
"It will be fine, love."
She nodded as we focused on our children and our tea party.
After an hour of playing the kids were starting to get sleepy.
"Are you ready to take your nap sweet girl?" I asked.
"Wes, da-da," she said sleepily.
"Let's get you and your brother to sleep then."
"Otay, you be here when I get up?" she asked as she bit her bottom lip, a habit she must've got from Bella.
"Of course," I assured her.
She nodded and smiled up at me, as I lifted her up and she wrapped her fingers around the ends of my hair.
So much like Bella, I thought with a smile.
"You hair soft da-da," she murmured.
"Your ma-ma likes it too," I said as we walked upstairs.
"That I do, Bailey," Bella said from behind me.
I smiled at her over my shoulder.
We laid the kids down in their beds and then I took Bella by the hand.
"What do you want to do while they are sleeping?" I asked pulling her to me.
"Anything is fine with me."
"We can make lunch and then maybe take some new pictures of you. We have pictures of you pregnant with both kids, so we need new ones of you pregnant with Cameron."
"Okay."
"Okay? I thought I'd have to argue some to get you to do it."
"No, I want to do it. I know how much you enjoy your pictures," she said with a smile as went to make something for lunch.
Once in the kitchen, we made sandwiches and had some chips.
We kissed and held hands all through lunch, and we were finished we went into the music room to take pictures.
I loved seeing her on my piano and in various positions.
She knew no one would be seeing the pictures except for me, so she was free to be however she wanted to be.
We made out on the couch like a couple of teenagers, but we didn't have sex, that could wait till later.
It wasn't long before the kids were up, we fed them and then spent the time watching movies and just enjoying the time together.
As each hour ticked by I saw Bella getting a little more on edge, I tried to reassure her as much as possible, but nothing seemed to calm her nerves.
I know that everything will be fine and I'll be safely in her arms tomorrow night.
We decided to order pizza for dinner and after we ate we watched another movie and then we gave the kids a bath before putting the kids to bed.
"Come with me, Mrs. Cullen," I whispered as I pulled her with em.
I took her hand and led her to our room, where I lit candles and pulled down the covers on our bed.
"When did you do this?" she asked as I pulled her into my arms.
"A few minutes ago," I said kissing her lips.
"Mmm... " she moaned softly as I started undressing her.
I loved seeing the candlelight flickering over her skin, as I took her clothes off.
"Lay back love," I murmured as I stripped out of my clothes.
She laid back and I crawled up her body as I settled between her legs and gently slipped inside her.
Slowly and gently we made love until we were both exhausted and were ready to fall asleep.
I held her close to me, telling her how much I loved her and that everything would be okay.
She nodded as she drifted off to sleep in my arms.
I laid awake for a bit stroking her hair and thinking over the plan.
I knew this would work.
In the morning I would make us a nice breakfast, and then they would leave to go to the shower and then Caius would be here, and by dinnertime, everything would be over.
I know I'm better than Caius and I will end him.
My gun was ready and loaded, there's nothing that I haven't thought of.
I know Bella was worried that I'll be here alone, but if anyone else was here it wouldn't work the way I wanted it too.
This plan will work - I know it and tomorrow night I'll be making love with my wife in safety and peace.
I was woken up by my beautiful wife running her small hands up and down my sides.
"Morning," she said with a smile.
"Morning beautiful."
She kissed over my heart as she sat up, the sheet slipping down her body.
I love seeing her beautiful curves first thing in the morning.
I reached out to caress her breast.
She moaned softly as my fingers closed over her nipple.
I brushed them gently loving the feel of them on my fingers.
"Edward," she said softly as I smiled down at her.
I lowered my lips to her hard nipple and sucked it in my mouth slowly.
She slipped her fingers into my hair, holding me to her breast.
I moved my lips to her other breast and repeated my actions.
"More," she murmured.
I kept sucking her nipple as I slipped a hand between her legs.
She arched into me as I ran my fingers over her clit.
"Yes," she breathed out.
I slipped my finger inside her and pumped it in and out of her.
She arched against me and reached for my cock.
"I.. I want you, Edward. Make love to me, please."
I nudged her back on the bed and slipped easily inside her warm pussy.
She placed her hands on my shoulders as we moved together as our eyes locked onto each others.
I could see all her concerns reflected in her eyes.
"It will be fine, baby. I promise," I told her as I held her face between my hands as I thrusted deeply.
She moaned out and held me tighter to her.
"I love you," she murmured against my lips.
"I love you, my Bella."
I picked up my pace and thrusted harder and faster into her.
"Are you close?" I asked.
"Y.. yes," she breathed out as she slipped her hand between us and rubbed at her clit.
I so loved seeing her touch herself.
"That's it, baby. Come for me," I moaned loudly as she wrapped her legs around my back.
She rubbed faster till her pussy clamped down in me.
"Oooh god, Edward, yes... yes," she screamed as her body shook and she gripped me tighter.
Her sounds pushed me over the edge and I exploded inside her.
"Bella, fuck... yes," I murmured as I kissed her sweet lips.
I could feel my body trembled as she wrapped me in her arms.
"It's okay, everything is okay," she said softly.
I held her tight to me as my body calmed down.
We laid there together murmuring our love to each other.
"I promise Bella, everything will be okay. I love you so much, baby."
"I love you."
We were quiet for a few moments, just holding each other and then we heard Bailey yelling for us.
"Perfect timing," we both said together and then we laughed.
We got up and dressed quickly and went down the hall.
We walked into her room, and she was sitting up in her bed.
"I weady to go to arty for tousin. Me want to go now," she said
"We'll go as soon as your brother is awake."
"Da-da go?" she asked.
"No, da-da has something to do here," I told her.
"Otay."
"Come on pretty girl, let's put in your party dress," Bella said to her.
"Otay, Ma-ma."
Bella got out a blue and white dress for her and little white tights.
"Da-da, you gunna miss us while we gone?" she asked as Bella took her pajamas off and slipped the dress on.
"I always miss you."
"Ma-ma too? and Gway?"
"Yes, all of you."
She smiled up at me as Bella fixed her hair.
"I pwetty da-da?"
"Yes, sweet girl. You're as beautiful as your Ma-ma," I told her as I touch her curls around her face.
She beamed up at me.
"I go get Gway up, gotta go party harty," she said as she ran to Grayson's room.
We both laughed, she's picking up a lot of Emmett's phrases.
"I'm going to smack your brother in the head when I see him," she was as we went to Grayson's room.
"Add an extra one for me please."
"I will," she smirked as we walked into Grayson's room to see Bailey with his diaper ready and his clothes by the changing table.
It's hard to believe that she's just going to be two, she already so grown up and talkative.
I hope she doesn't grow up too fast.
I watched as Bella dressed Grayson and then we went downstairs to eat breakfast, my plan of making a nice breakfast for them didn't work out.
So we had toast and cereal.
"I wanted to make you a nice breakfast, baby. But I was distracted by my sexy wife," I said with a smirk.
"Your company makes it nice," Bella said.
I smiled at her, as I looked into her eyes and I could see that she was hiding her fears.
We ate in relative silence.
"Edward, you'll call when your meeting is over?" she asked softly.
"Of course."
She smiled over at me as she finished eating.
I loved seeing her eat.
"What are you grinning about?" she asked.
"I love seeing you eat, it makes me happy.
"I'm doing plenty of that lately."
"Your body needs it, love. You are eating for two."
She nodded as she looked at the clock.
"I guess we better go," she said as she got up and up her dishes in the sink.
I helped her clean the kids up and put them in their coats.
I grabbed her coat and helped her put it on.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. I'll call you after the meeting," I told her as we walked to the car.
She smiled a bit.
I kissed her lightly on the lips, "Don't worry, baby."
"I'll try," she said softly as Seth opened her door.
We loaded the kids in and I kissed them both, then I turned back to her.
"I love you, and I'll see you in a while."
"Be careful, please," she said. "I love you, too."
"I will," I said as I helped her in the car and kissed her lips.
"Drive safely, Seth. You have my world in your hands," I told him.
"Yes, boss."
I closed the door and he started the car.
I waved and then went inside the house.
I walked back in the house and went up to our room.
I got out my best suit and changed into it and then went to my office for my gun.
I went back downstairs to wait for Caius to show up.
He showed up about twenty minutes later.
He knocked loudly at the door - I was waiting on the couch for him.
I walked to the door confidently as I opened the door.
He was standing on the doorstep looking like his typical smug ass self.
"Edward," he sneered.
" , glad to see you had the balls to show up."
"Why wouldn't I? I don't back down," he said as he came inside.
"Yes, but you always let others do your dirty work."
"That may be true, but at least it gets done. The Cullen family used to be well respected, but now I've been hearing you're selling out. What would Aro think of that?"
"Aro would have been proud."
"Doubtful, but let's get on with this. I have places to be. Where is that adorable wife of yours?"
"None of your fucking business."
"Too bad, I'm looking forward to fucking her once you're out of the way. She's mighty fine, and so young."
I yanked my gun out and had it in his face in about a second. "Don't you even fucking think about my wife!"
Caius laughed in my face. "You Cullen's always care too much - your biggest weakness, boy."
"I think its our greatest asset," I said as I stared him down as he walked around the room.
He picked up pictures on the mantel, leering at pictures of Bella and I felt my blood boil.
"Hmm... I look forward to the challenge of taking her. Those legs and that body, yeah... she will be a wonderful addition to my collection. Does she scream loud? I enjoy when they scream," he said as he ran his fingers over Bella's image.
I was angrier than I ever have been, I couldn't even see straight as I raised my gun to shoot him in the back - I will end this fucker.
Everything happened in slow motion - my hand was shaking and I missed my shot, hitting Caius in the left shoulder blade. He swore and whirled to face me letting off two shots in quick succession. One shot hit me in the shoulder, the second hit me in the gut, right below my ribs and I could feel myself crumple.
Excruciating pain jolted through me and I brought my hand to my stomach. I could feel the warmth and stickiness of my blood soaking my shirt.
Caius came to stand over me, a smirk on his face.
"I want you to think of me fucking your wife till she passes out while you lay there and bleed out."
He laughed again as my vision started it blur, I had to protect my family. I raised my hand and fired. I could see my shot hit him square in the heart and he dropped before me.
I collapsed back and I thought of Bella and my kids. I let her down...I promised to come home. I knew I was dying, I could feel the strength leaving my body. "I love you, my Bella," I whispered as my world went black.
