No More

Chapter 9

Watching Edward play with Michael sent a flood of emotions through me. I stood there watching them, until Edward caught me staring and started talking to Michael. "Oh, look at that, your sexy mommy is awake, yes she is. Let's give mommy a kiss. Oh, such a big boy!" he lifted Michael up to kiss me and then Edward leaned in, looking for an OK in my eyes, which I readily nodded a yes to. He leaned down and gave me the most passionate kiss I'd ever received from any man, until Mike started babbling. We broke apart and stared at each other. "Bella, I can't, I can't stay away any longer. Please don't push me away." He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "I won't. I can't. I miss you. I want to be with you, I want you with us." I smiled. "Really? With Mike and you?" he smiled and I nodded. "You don't know how happy that makes me." He kissed me again and then told me had to go, his shift started in two hours and he had to go home and get ready. I thanked him for staying and taking care of Mike. "I'll call you when I get home in the morning." He smiled and kissed my forehead and gave a loud smacking kiss to Mike on his cheek, followed by a raspberry on the belly, causing squeals of delight.

I called Rose and told her the good news, she was all excited and said Emmett would be happy too. I could only hope. Rose and I talked about what was to come. I assured her we hadn't even begun to take the next step, but she was unbelieving, thinking things were going to move quite fast, knowing Edward wouldn't want to wait a moment longer.

The day seemed to pass by slowly. I did paper work, took Michael for a walk, went grocery shopping and then came home and cleaned house, before I knew it, it was time for Mike to go to bed. I tucked him in and went to draw myself a bath. While relaxing and having a glass of wine, my phone rang, smiling as I picked it up, seeing it was Edward. "Hey, sorry it's so late. We got slammed and I couldn't get away." He sighed. "No worries. We kept busy. I know your job can be rough at times, just like mine." I shrugged, even though he couldn't see me. "I just had to hear your voice. I'm on a break." I could tell he was smiling. "I'm relaxing in a bubble bath with a glass of wine." I smiled to myself. "Don't be a tease." He laughed. "Oh, no teasing." I made splashing noises for him and he laughed loudly. "It feels so good to be like this with you and not guarded. I hope it gets easier and easier." He sighed. "Me too." I said. "Well, I've got to go if I want to eat. I'll talk to you later. Kisses." He made kissing noises into the phone. "OK. Be careful." I made a kissing noise too and hung up, getting out of the bath as well.

Bang, bang, bang…

I heard several times on my door. Stumbling I get out of bed and walk to my door, looking through the peephole to see a smiling Edward. Opening the door, I'm caught in this searing kiss as he walks us backwards through the door. "Wow! If I'm greeted like that all the time, I'll let you come over every morning." I smiled. "I come bearing gifts of breakfast and coffee." he holds up the items, right as Mike wakes up. "Eat, drink your coffee. I'll go take care of him." He smiled and walked towards his room. I sat and ate bagels and drank my coffee. They came out a short while after, Mike with a clean diaper and Edward all smiles. "I could get use to this." He says out of nowhere and I look at him surprised. "What? I love this little guy and I love you." He says sincerely. "Edward? Do you really want to move this fast?" I asked. "Bella, we've known each other forever, been together on and off more times than I care to think about! I want you! I want Mike! I want us!" he smiled and kissed me sweetly, leaving me dazed.
