New Beginnings
Chapter 2
***This is going to be SHORT… A few chapters at the most… Just Bella and Edward's life together with their children… it'll jump ahead by a few years as well with the chapters… ENJOY!***
"Baylee, Blayne! Can you put Charlene's shoes on please! I'm trying to get Emma Rose dressed and daddy will be here any minute!" I yelled from the nursery.
"Yes mama!" they yelled back in unison.
They were eight years old now. Charlene was six and Emma Rose was two. We'd had two miscarriages in between and of course were devastated but bounced back and were blessed with our other two. Blayne was very protective of all his sisters and him and Baylee were thick as thieves. They did everything together and rarely caused problems. They'd leave that to Charlene and Emma Rose. Charlene was the quiet, yet sneaky trouble maker and Emma Rose lived up to her name sakes and was loud and rambunctious. I often threatened Emmett and Rose that I would send her over she was having a meltdown, to which they'd just laugh.
"Bella! I'm here. Are you ready?" Edward yelled up the stairs.
"The kids are!" I snapped.
I heard him taking the steps two at a time.
"Why aren't you ready? We're going to be late!" He rubbed the bridge of his nose.
"Oh because I only had to get 4 kids ready! Bathed, dressed, hair brushed with all four, two braided and one screaming as I put in a bow and not to mention the horrible fit she threw when I put on her shoes. For someone named after Rose, I don't know why she hates shoes. So, I'm showered and I have makeup, but that's it, I need to slip into my dress, if you can wrangle them into the car I'd appreciate it!" I sighed.
The party was wonderful.
"Esme! You've outdone yourself again!" I gave her a big hug.
"It's not every day you get to celebrate your own son being named Chief of Staff." She smiled.
"I know. The only positive part is he'll be home on the weekends. Hopefully not super late every night. Especially with another one on the way." I smiled rubbing my small belly.
"He said this is the last one?" she questioned.
"Yeah. All our rooms will be full. We're thinking of adding on a special playroom now though. That way it'll be a place the bigger kids can go with their friends and won't bother the little ones." I shrugged.
"Can you get it done before this one?" Esme asked concerned.
"We have someone coming out next week to let us know. We're going to build it over the garage. We want it mostly completed, Edward will be taking two weeks off when the baby comes, but that's it and it's not 100% guaranteed. If an emergency arises, he has to go. You know that. You're getting Carlisle after all these years." I smiled.
"Yes I am, but now you and those precious grandbabies will have us on call whenever you need us." She squeezed my hand.
"Thanks Esme." I told her sincerely.
"There you are, is my mother monopolizing you?" Edward asked as he kissed my cheek handing me a sleeping Emma Rose.
"No, just talking about you." Esme smiled.
"I'm afraid." Edward laughed.
"As you should be." I smiled.
"Do you mind if I go hobnob some more?" he asked worried.
"No, I'm sitting, I'm fine for a little while. Are the others behaving?" I asked.
"Yeah, they're in the movie room, mom has it all set up." He smiled.
"Ok. See you in a few." I smiled as he walked away, such a smooth talker.
"Bella, why don't you go put the baby in the nursery and you lay in the guest room. You look tired my dear." Esme helped me up.
"I think I will. Will you let Edward know?" I asked. She nodded and I escaped quietly upstairs to rest.
A little later I felt the bed dip beside me and my shoes slide off.
"Babe, lift up. We're staying here tonight. The twins went home with Emmett and Rose, Charlene is in the nursery with Emma Rose and I just want to snuggle with my beautifully pregnant wife with no interruptions. Mom said she's got the girls when or if they wake up in the middle of the night and in the morning. Then her and dad are taking them to the park and will bring them home later tonight. We've got all day to ourselves and a dinner date tonight." He kissed my neck and pulled me closer, whispering for me to go to sleep.
