Learning to Love
Chapter 4
Mike and I have been extremely busy.
It was only 2 nurses and I on the pediatric wing, the other doctor had gotten an offer from Seattle General and took it, so I worked a lot. Mike had secured 4 more stores to open within the year, so we'd decided not to get married anytime soon, we set a tentative date a year from now, his stores would at least be open, not sure if my situation would change by then, but at least he'd be home more, for a little while.
"Bella, I'm so sorry I've got to leave again. I feel so bad. We haven't spent much time together since our engagement." Mike hugged and kissed me while I made breakfast.
"I know babe. I understand. Look at my schedule this week, its better that you're gone. I'll be at the hospital most nights as it is." I sighed.
"Don't wear yourself done. You'll get sick and burnt out. And I need you well, I've got big plans." He wiggled his eyebrows at me.
I slapped his chest "Eat your breakfast. You'll miss your flight." I kissed his cheek.
He pulled me into his lap.
"I'd rather have more of you for breakfast." He kissed down my neck.
"Damn it Mike. You can't do that. Now I'll be wet all day." I kissed his lips.
"Come on, a quickie, I need you." He placed my hand over his harden cock.
"You are never satisfied." I giggled.
"Not when it comes to this." He groaned as he pushed his fingers into me.
And that's how we ended up fucking on the kitchen table and me ending up with syrup in my hair.
"Damn, I'll never get enough of you." He growled as he poured syrup on my tits and proceeded to suck it off.
"Fuck Mike. Just fuck me already." I moaned like a whore.
"Hold on baby, it's going to be rough." He started pounding into me as he pinched my swollen clit and found that sweet spot and had me screaming his name and him screaming mine as we fell apart together.
"That might last me a week." I panted.
"Here, one last reminder." He said as he sat in the chair and pulled me forward and proceeded to thrust his tongue in and out of me and nibble on my sensitive and swollen clit over and over again until I was cuming so hard that I couldn't cum anymore.
"Mike!" I screamed as he smiled and stood up, kissing me hard.
"Fuck! I love tasting myself on you." I kissed him back just as hard.
A banging on the door brought us to reality.
"Fuck. That will be Edward." He groaned.
I pulled my shirt down, since it was actually one of Mike's and Mike fixed his clothes.
"Edward!" I smiled and went to hug him but he pushed me away.
"You two loud enough? I don't think your neighbors quite heard you enough Mike." He looked over my shoulder to Mike who was grinning like crazy.
"Sorry man, she's insatiable." He shrugged and Edward held up his in surrender.
"I don't want to hear about my sisters sexuality." He shook his head.
"Just saying." Mike shrugged as he grabbed his suitcase and briefcase, then kissed me goodbye.
"HEY! I don't need to see that!" he growled as Mike kissed me passionately, grabbing at my bare ass.
After they finally left I showered and got ready for my long week.
I made sure I brought bath supplies and plenty of hair ties, as I knew I'd be on call all week, I just decided to stay at the hospital, I could use the scrubs there, so all I needed was bras and underwear.
I'd just made it into work when I was paged to ER.
"Bella, thank goodness, Jasper just came in with his baby and asked for you." The nurse sighed.
"Oh, I didn't know he was back in town yet." I shrugged.
"Yes, apparently they arrived two days ago and the baby was not feeling well then, but he thought it was just gas or something." The nurse replied.
I walked into the room and Jasper sat there with an extremely pissed off baby and looking completely worn out.
"Jasper, hey. I didn't know you were back." I smiled and took the baby from him.
"Yes, Sophia just turned a month. The doctors told me to wait at least a month before travelling with her. And now she's like this with a hard belly." He rubbed his face.
"Well Sophia is a cute little thing, little being the key word. How big was she at birth?" I asked.
"She was only 5 pounds, 16 inches long." He smiled.
"She hasn't gained any weight the nurse said." And he frowned at that.
"Jasper, that's not always bad, she hasn't lost any, that's what you have to focus on. It could be as simple as changing her formula." I smiled to reassure him. "I'm thinking with the hard belly and screaming that she's constipated or the milk is upsetting her little tummy. When was the last time she pooped?" I asked.
"Um, 3 days ago. Before we left." He shook his head.
"OK, it could be from travel too. The littlest things can mess them up if they get off schedule. Let me give her a suppository to help her go, we'll keep he here tonight and run some tests too, just to be on the safe side. I'll have a cot brought into her room, when they get you set up." I touched his shoulder and smiled.
I left the nurses to fawn over Sophia who was absolutely adorable, while I wrote up all the tests I wanted to run.
I had blood and urine tests done as well as an upper GI, to check for blockage.
I handed off the orders and then checked in on my 2 other patients. The first was a little girl from the reservation who'd almost drowned in the ocean. The current is so bad, it pulled her away quickly and took her under. The other a little boy just had his tonsils out yesterday. They were both sleeping so I proceeded to my office and saw there was a message that Mike had called. I called him back and instantly missed him.
"I wish I was with you." I sighed.
"Me too babe, ne too." He chuckled.
"Thankfully it's a slow night. Just my two previous patients and tonight a baby. She's so adorable. Gets me thinking." I smiled to myself.
"Well, well, well… Bella is human!" he laughed.
"What? Of course I am, why would you say that." I pouted.
"I didn't even WANT to think of having that conversation with you. You're so dedicated to your job." He made a shuddering noise.
"I do want children Mike, just not yet. But see this cute little girl, makes me want to saw screw my plans." I said seriously.
"Do you know the family?" he asked, no doubt trying to figure out who in Forks was that pregnant lately.
"Uh, yeah." I blew out a breath. "It's Jasper's little girl." I whispered.
"Oh." That's all he said and was quiet.
"What? Don't do this Mike." I said defensively.
"And how should I act? Your EX fiancé is back in town and you're fawning all over his baby, that he helped make with your EX best friend!" he yelled.
"Don' .There!" I threatened. "I'm with you! I love you! I'm your fiancé now, everyone in Forks knows it!" I yelled back.
"What am I supposed to think? You two have history. You once loved each other!" he snapped.
"Yeah and he cheated on me! This! This right here is why I should've stayed single." I cried.
"Maybe we should have waited." He snipped.
"What? You. You don't want me?" I questioned.
"I didn't say that." He growled.
"You might as well have. Yet another we aren't living together. I've got to go. I love you." I whispered and hung up, not waiting for a reply.
My cell phone rang a few seconds later the caller I.D. read 'Mike', I let it go to voicemail, along with the others that came tonight.
I went and did my rounds, checking on the children. The older two were still sleeping so I walked down to Sophia's room and heard Jasper singing to her.
It was the cutest site I'd ever seen.
Everything was good there, so I went to the front desk to let them know I was going to eat.
My phone went off again 'Edward'.
"Hello, brother dear." I sighed.
"What the hell is going on? Mike called in a complete panic! Where the fuck are you?" he yelled.
"In the cafeteria." I volunteered.
"I'm on my way!" he snapped.
Edward grabbed a coffee and rubbed his face as he sat down.
"What exactly happened?" he asked.
I repeated everything to him and he shook his head. "Mike is fucking torn up over this. He's called to apologized and threatening to return to fight for you!" he shook his head. "I told him I'd straighten everything out here and you'd be calling him in the morning." He demanded of me.
"I'm NOT interested in Jasper, that's what Mike thinks… All I said was Sophia was adorable. The same way I think McKenna is adorable. She's a patient, that's it. If he's going to freak out every time I have to talk to Jasper, then obviously he doesn't trust me and we don't need to continue our engagement." I proclaimed.
"Look, I'll call him tonight and give him the lowdown, you call in the morning and reassure him you still want to be together. Rose is about to blow a gasket! This all just happened and she's already freaking out. And your brother, is freaking out too!" he shook his head again and sighed.
"Um, you're my brother." I pointed out.
"No! Your goofy ass brother, he wants to go wherever Mike is right now and kick his ass. I obviously didn't tell him where he was." He chuckled.
"Ugh! I'll get with him. Thanks. And as for Mike, when you talk to him, tell him he better quit being an ass, I'm not going to put up with his jealousy, it's uncalled for." I advised.
He finished his coffee and I finished my dinner.
Going back to pediatrics, I checked on Sophia again who was now sleeping.
I headed to my office for a few hours' sleep on my couch.
AN:
Hope you enjoyed a little of the angst.
