No More

Chapter 6

BPOV

It's been three months since I had Michael and things are going great.

The nanny has started and Michael has taken to her, which I was glad of, he was kind of picky, it seamed, he loved Emmett and Rose. Jasper always seemed to get him to sleep, no matter the fit, oh yeah, he's got a temper, nice! Alice and Edward, he's iffy on. I think because Alice is so high strung and always bouncing and with Edward, he's just usually fussy, unless he's just ate.

I was going to start working today, but from my home office, I'm going to work from home mostly in being a Profiler/Negotiator, so a few cases a month and I'll be fine.

I went to sign in and check my e-mails and go through a few cases that had been sent to me.

The day flew by and before I knew it, it was lunch time.

I told Mary my nanny I was going out for lunch and I'd be back in about an hour, to call if she needed anything, she nodded and kept playing with Michael.

I walked to the corner deli, it was a hot summer day, and I had on a simple summer dress and sandals, with my hair in a ponytail.

I sat at one of the outside tables and ordered, sipping on my ice tea and I pulled out my book from my bag and started reading, next thing I know I hear a chair being pulled out, I look up and see James.

"Hey Bella, how is the mommy business?" he asked.

"Going great. Michael is getting big and he's still got his crazy Mohawk going on." I giggled and pulled out my phone to show him pictures.

"Wow! He's adorable. Has Paul seen him?" he asked.

"No. He hasn't even acknowledged me since I last saw you guys, I sent him a picture through text and I know he got it, but he didn't say anything." I shrugged. "It's fine though, Michael doesn't need negativity around him." I smiled.

"Good, glad you have a positive attitude and a good support system." he smiled.

"So, how are you and your girlfriend?" I asked, he smiled wickedly.

"Great! I actually asked her to marry me a week ago. It's going to be this Christmas." he smiled.

"Congratulations!" I stood up and hugged him.

"Well, I've got to run, having lunch with your NOT favorite person, but we'll sit inside." he smiled sadly at me and hugged me goodbye.

I finished my lunch and paid, walking out the side entrance, so I wouldn't have to see Paul.

I walked into a couple of shops and looked around for a little while, before I decided I better go home.

When I got back Michael was fussy and Mary was walking him in circles.

"Oh, Bella, he just started and his tummy is so hard, it might be gas, but he won't burp." she said with a frown.

I took him and held him to see if that helped, but he continued to cry.

"Mary, hold him for just a few minutes, please. I'm calling Edward and then you can go for the day." I smiled and handed him back.

"Dr. Cullen" he answered after the third ring.

"Edward. Michael is screaming his head off and his tummy is so hard, but he won't burp." I explained.

"O.K., look, I'm coming now, so it'll be about 15 minutes, will you be O.K. until then?" he asked.

"Yeah, thanks." I sighed and hung up.

Mary handed him back and left, I continued to walk him around, trying to get him to burp, I even laid him on the couch and pumped his legs like he was riding a bike, to see if that would help, but no luck, finally Edward was there and asked about his diapers and stuff, I called Mary and let them talk, he had a scowl on his face when he hung up.

"Mary said he hasn't pooped today, so maybe he's constipated. Have you switched anything?" he asked.

"Um, he's just been eating more. Oh, I've started putting a little cereal in his milk, to make it thicker, hoping he'll eat less." I sighed. "I started it yesterday." I shrugged.

"O.K., that helps. We'll give him some prune juice mixed with water of course and place a warm washcloth on his belly." he smiled and said he'd go to the store and get the juice.

I kept the washcloth on his belly and continued rubbing his belly and pumping his legs.

We took turns doing this all night and finally after about two hours we had a fart and little poop. I was so excited I kissed Edward and immediately pulled away.

"Sorry. I'm just happy it's working." I smiled.

"Me too. And listen, he's just whimpering a little now." he smiled.

I got Michael to sleep and offered to cook dinner for Edward; we watched a movie and ate chicken parmesan.

He left a little after 9 and I thanked him again.

Life carried on as normal for the next year, working and spending time with my family and friends, I didn't date, mainly because I was really busy, even with only taking a maximum of four cases a month, with all the research I had to do and plus take care of Michael, even though Mary was a great help, I still had to do most, I just felt better doing so.

Michael was walking now and babbling, he had two teeth and was proud to show them to everyone and he loved to try and bite Alice and Edward, which was super funny.

I was sitting at home, it was late May, Michael was in bed and my phone rang.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Bella? Is it you?" A familiar voice asked.

"May I ask who's speaking?" I said frustrated.

"Hey, it's me Mike! I'm in Seattle and wanted to see you." he chuckled.

A/N: Yeah, I know I suck for leaving it there and making it so short…

Sorry… But I needed to update and get to this point.

A whole new game starts now!

Mike doesn't know about Bella having a baby, so will he still feel the same?
