A day in the life of an ex-mob boss ten years later

"Grayson Aro Carlisle Cullen, you get down here right now?" I heard Bella yelling from the kitchen as I walked in.

"Hey Daddy," Bailey said as she saw me. "Gway got full named."

She stilled called him her pet name for him, even though she long outgrew not being able to say Grayson.

"I heard sweet girl. What did he do?"

"Bad report card from school."

"Where's your report card?" I asked her.

"Right here."

I looked it over and smiled at her.

"Great job, sweetie." She definitely took after Bella in the academic department, I was smart in school but the studying sometimes was a challenge for me.

"Thanks daddy, I'm heading out to spend the night at Carlie's, Maria is picking me up," she said.

Maria was Jasper's new girlfriend, sadly him and Alice tried to reconcile, but he found out she was seeing someone. So they divorced and she gave up all rights to Carlie and moved to New York. He met Maria at the school play and they hit it off. He said they aren't nearly ready to get married, but are enjoying living together. She treats Carlie as her own and doesn't mind when Bailey comes to stay with them.

I had hoped that things would work out with Alice, but we never really mended our relationship either, we were civil when we had to be together, but I think its for the best. She represented everything that was in the past and all the hurt that was with it.

"Okay, make sure you behave and don't get into any trouble. Do you need any money?" I asked.

"Nope, mom gave me some. I'll behave, I'm twelve. How much trouble can I get into?" she asked with a laugh.

"You never know."

I watched her walk out the door and I went into the kitchen to see my still beautiful wife and our third child Cameron sitting at the table eating some carrots with ranch, his favorite before dinner snack.

"Hey buddy," I said as I ruffled his hair.

"Dad, don't mess my hair up," he said as my little princess giggled from her chair.

Aribella was our surprise fourth child five years ago. I couldn't help but smile as mini Bella laughed.

"Your hair is already messed up, Cam. Just like daddy's."

"Ari, how's daddy's princess?" I asked as I went over to her.

"Good. Gway's in trouble, mommy's mad," she said.

"Yeah, I heard."

I looked over at my wife and could see she was really upset.

"He's definitely your son," she said as she thrusted the report card at me. "Read the comments."

"Grayson is achieving below his level of intelligence, and is mouthy during class showing a lack of respect for authority," I read aloud.

"I'll talk to him. Do you think maybe we should get him into a sport or something?" I asked.

"Yeah, that could help. But let's not push him into it if he doesn't want too," Bella sighed as she turned back to the stove.

"Yeah I know, but maybe it will give him an outlet - he can pick whatever he likes, it can be chess for all I care, but his behavior is unacceptable."

Grayson came down the stairs, "Yes Mom."

"We need to have a little talk, buddy," I told him.

"You saw my report card," he said sitting down at the table.

"Yes, care to explain yourself?" I asked.

"School is boring, and the teacher is just a moron. Doesn't like when we express our opinions."

"She is your teacher and you need to be respectful no matter what."

"But dad..."

"No buts, you don't have to like your teacher or agree with her, but you do have to be respectful."

"Fine. Can I go to my room now?" he asked looking up at me. I could see so much of me in him, and I'm so glad that I got us out of the business because I'm sure he'd follow in my footsteps.

"No. I think you need to do some other activity. Is there any sport or activity that you're interested in pursuing?"

"I like to draw and write stories," he said quietly. "Most of the boys pick on me and call me names for it."

"Just ignore them, son. We can look at putting you in a drawing class and a creative writing class if you would like that."

"I'd like that."

"Okay, I'll look into it and see what they have. You can go play now."

He nodded as he got up and walked out of the kitchen as Bella came and stood behind me, putting her arm on my shoulder.

"Thanks, you handled that great," she said.

"You're welcome. I see myself in him and I'm so glad I got us out of the business. I could see him following me in it, and I wouldn't want that for him," I said as I pulled her in my lap. "How long until dinner?"

"About ten minutes. And I'm glad about your decision too, it was the best thing for our family."

"It was. Thank you for always supporting me."

"I always will, I believe in you, Edward."

I leaned in and pressed my lips to hers, kissing her softly as her fingers threaded into the back of my hair.

A gale of giggles sound from Aribella and gagging sounds come from Cam, rather ruining the moment.

"Later," Bella whispered as she pulled away and got off my lap.

I winked as she walks back to the stove.

I got up and kissed Aribella's forehead and went to grab plates and cups to set the table.

Bella brought the food to the table as Grayson came back into the kitchen.

I loved seeing my family around the table, it was one of the happiest moments of my day.

"Isn't your anniversary soon?" Grayson asked as he dug into his food.

"Yes it is," I said with a smile as I looked at Bella.

He nodded.

"How do you even remember that?" I asked him as I took Bella's hand in mine.

"Umm.. it's a secret, but Bailey and Gramma told me."

"Oh, I see. So you guys are conspiring huh?"

"Maybe," he smirked at us.

I couldn't help but laugh, he looked so much like me.

Bella smiled too, she loved that both Cameron and Grayson had my smirk.

"I do know that all the family is coming over for dinner on our anniversary, I got that much out of Mom," Bella said.

"Oh yeah! Emmett, Rose and the kids too?"

"Yep, and even Aunty Ren."

"I'm glad," I said. Aunt Renata's health has gone down a lot over the last few years, her memory is starting to slip more and more each time I see her.

Bella looked up at me, "I know, she's such a special lady. I miss Uncle Aro a lot too. He'd definitely be so proud of all you've accomplished."

"Thanks, I hope so."

She smiled over at me as we finished eating.

After we were done, the boys and I cleared the table and did the dishes as Bella took Aribella upstairs for her bath.

"Thanks boys, I appreciate your help."

"No problem," Grayson said as Cam just nodded. "Do we want to watch a movie? or no?"

"Yeah! Can we watch Ironman?"

"Sure, maybe mom made some of her special brownies and if we are really nice maybe she'll let us have ice cream with them," I said as Bella walked in and the three of us turned and smiled at her.

"Okay, what's up? What did you three do?" she asked.

"Did you make brownies, mom?" the boys asked in unison. "And can we have ice cream with them?"

"I did, and I guess since you asked so nicely we have ice cream with them."

"Yay," they all squealed.

"I think you made their night, baby," I said smiling over at her as we dished up the kids dessert.

The kids sat at the table giggling and enjoying their ice cream and brownies.

"How can I make your night, baby?" she asked me.

"You naked always makes my night," I whispered to her.

"I can do that."

Even after twelve years of marriage, my desire for her has never diminished.

After the kids were finished we cleaned up together and we took them tucked them in their beds and kissed them goodnight and then we checked on Aribella. She was sleeping peacefully.

I reached for Bella's hand and walked us to our room.

She smiled at me as we walked in the door.

I shut the door and then turned to her, "I want you naked and on our bed now, Isabella."

She grinned at me as she started stripping off her clothes.

I loved watching her and she was still the most beautiful woman in the world to me.

She dropped the last piece of her clothing on the floor and climbed onto the bed, sitting on her knees and looking at me.

"You look delicious," she said.

"I could say the same about you, baby," I said as I stripped out of my clothes.

I climbed on the bed and sat down next to her. I reached my hand up to her cheek and ran my fingers along it as she leaned into my hand.

"So beautiful, love," I murmured before I captured her lips in mine, Kissing her deeply as I wrapped my arms around her back moving her down to the bed as I hovered over her.

"You're always such a charmer," she said as she pulled me back to her lips.

We continued kissing for a few moments as our hands roamed and I could feel the heat building between us.

I nudged her legs apart as I reached down and stroked over her mound as she moaned beneath me.

"Edward," she panted out as I spread her open and ran my fingers through her wetness.

I loved feeling how wet I made her, even after all these years.

"Who makes you this wet, baby?" I asked as I lowered my head to her breast and sucking one of her nipples into my mouth, flicking my tongue over it as she moved under me.

"You do," she said breathlessly, desire filling her voice.

"Good," I growled as I began kissing down her body.

She writhed beneath me as I kissed down between her legs.

Slowly I licked up to her clit and then sucked it between my lips as she gripped onto my hair, moaning softly.

I loved that I could still make her make sounds like that.

I flicked my tongue over her again and again as she moved against my face, I slowly slipped a finger inside her as she cried out my name.

"Oh yes, Edward! Yes!"

I smiled against her as I continued licking and nipping at her clit as I added a second finger inside her and curled them upward.

I loved the taste of her and hearing her moan my name was such a high that no amount of money or power could give me.

"Oh god Edward, I'm so close...so close."

I pulled back a bit and pumped my fingers in and out of her, "Come for me, baby. I want to feel you all around my fingers and my tongue," I said as I pushed my fingers deeper.

She moaned and writhed against me as I sucked her clit between my lips, grazing my teeth against it.

Her walls clamped onto me and she came hard, squirting on my face and fingers.

"Ed... ward, oh god, fuck yes," she screamed out as she arched up off the bed.

I pulled my fingers from her and licked them clean, looking up at her with a grin.

She smiled up at me as she panted.

"Wow," she murmured as I hovered over her.

"Glad I still get that reaction from you, baby."

"Did you think you wouldn't?" she asked as she moved her hand down to my hard cock.

"No, but it still amazes me every time."

She smiled up at me as she continued to move her hand over me.

"Fuck, your hand feels amazing," I murmured.

"I bet my mouth would feel even better," she said with a grin.

"I'm sure, but I think I'd rather be inside you," I said looking down into her brown eyes.

She grinned at me as she pushes me to my back and climbed up over me.

"W...what are you doing, baby?" I asked as I moved my hands to her hips.

I loved the look she had in her eyes at this moment.

"Enjoying you."

She lifted up and aligned herself with my cock, and she slowly lowered herself on me.

"Fuck," I hissed out as I was fully sheathed inside her.

"I love riding you," she said as she moved her hips."

"I still love seeing you doing it, baby," I said as I thrusted up into her.

She groaned loudly and ground against me harder.

I gripped her hips and rolled us so that I was now on top.

"Edward," she whined.

"I want to be able to fuck you hard, baby."

She smiled up at me as she moved her hands to my back and I leaned down and kissed her as I grabbed the headboard.

We are on our fifth headboard and we finally got a wrought iron one, that I couldn't break.

I gripped the headboard tightly as I pounded into her and she wrapped her legs around my back.

"Oooh god, yes Edward, fuck me harder," she moaned as I slammed into her again and again.

Her walls were beginning to flutter and I knew I had her close again.

"Bella," I groaned as I continued thrusting as I watched her skin flush pink as she moved with me.

"I need you to come for me baby," I told her.

"So close, Edward. Just a bit more," she panted.

I reached between us, I rubbed her clit and thrusted into her even harder.

"Oh god, fuck yes," she screamed out as her body clamped onto my cock and she came hard around me.

Her coming was just what I needed, I thrusted a few more times and spilled deep inside her.

"Bella," I groaned out as I gripped her tightly to me as I trembled above her.

"You are so amazing, baby."

"So are you," she said looking up at me.

"I love how we are still this passionate with each other."

"It will always be this way, Edward, I can't imagine us not being this way. Even after four kids, I still have the same desire for you."

"Same here, baby."

I rolled us to our sides as I wrapped my arms around her.

"These twelve years have been the best of my entire life, baby. I love you so much," I said as I kissed her forehead

"I love you, Edward."

She snuggled into my chest, her hand laying against my heart as I held her close.

"Sleep, love. I have you," I murmured against her hair.

"Goodnight, my Edward."

"Night, my love."

I laid there holding her and thinking about everything.

Our lives were perfect, we had four amazing kids, and life was good for us. Dad finally retired and enjoyed traveling with Mom, and they would occasionally take the kids with them

.

Emmett finally found something he enjoyed, he opened a car restoration business with Rosalie. They moved into a house five streets from ours wit the children, Emma, Jason and Tyler. They were a rowdy, active bunch, but we enjoyed having them close by and enjoyed going to all their sports. Emma played lacrosse, Jason played football and Tyler played hockey.

All was as it should be in our lives, did I miss the danger of my previous life? Not at all.
