Double Deceit
Chapter 6
Monday finally arrived, I'd asked Kathleen to schedule Bella to be my last patient, I knew I was going to take longer to examine her and talk and I didn't want any of the patients to wait. Thankfully, it was a light day and I could leave after I finished with Bella, no matter the result. I wanted to make dinner for her in the studio again. She was scheduled to come in at eleven, I got everything I would need for her appointment ready while I waited for her to arrive. The lab had given me her results earlier this morning, they were in a sealed envelope on my desk. I had to suppress the urge to open and read its contents. All weekend I thought about the fact that if she was indeed pregnant, the baby could be mine. I smiled at the thought.
The beep of the intercom brought me out of my happy musings, "Dr. Cullen, Mrs. Swan-Black is here," Kathleen said.
"Send her right in, I'm ready for her" I told her.
A few seconds later Bella came in looking like a vision right out of my wettest dream. She had on a royal blue dress that fell mid-thigh and hugged her breasts perfectly, with a short slit on the side. She paired it with cream tights and blue Louboutins. In her hands she had a matching bag and a black coat.
She closed the door behind her and placed the coat and bag on the chair in front of my desk. She looked at me coyly, her plump lower lip between her teeth. I stood up and closed the space between us, "you look so beautiful baby," I told her.
I felt her shake as she hugged me, she was nervous.
"Come take a seat" I instructed her, instead of sitting on the available chair, she chose to seat on my lap.
"Do you have the results?" She asked.
I nodded, handing her the sealed envelope. She opened it with shaky hands, as she scanned the page. She took a shocked breath and she started crying.
"What is it love? What does it say?" I was alarmed.
"I'm pregnant Edward, I'm finally pregnant!" She shouted excitedly, handing me the paper.
I read through it and she was right, the blood analysis results were positive.
"Congratulations darling," I told her with a smile.
"Let's get you examined," I said.
Bella motioned to remove her dress but I stood behind her and stopped her.
"Let me, please," I said, Bella nodded.
My fingers wandered to her back, where I found her zipper and gently unzipped her dress. She removed the straps and it pooled at her feet. She stepped out of the dress and my hands gravitated towards her waist to the edge of her tights. I removed the tights quickly and carried her to the exam table. I sat her at the edge and then placed the hospital robe over her shoulders. Bella tied the sides quickly and laid down.
Bella's POV
Pregnant, I was pregnant. I was FINALLY pregnant! My mind was going a million miles an hour. I had to tell my parents… fuck, I had to tell Jacob. Will he be happy this time? Or will he yell at me like he did two years ago? He wanted to have sex with me, he knows I don't use contraception and this is the consequence of unprotected sex. At the thought of him being mad at me a wave of nervousness hit me and I started shaking.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Edward asked, holding my hand.
"I'm just nervous," I confessed.
Edward smiled at me, "it's going to be okay," he reassured me.
He held my hand for a few moments, stroking it gently. Every time I was with him, I felt comfortable, protected. His soft, slow, rhythmic touches were relaxing me, making me feel safe and at home.
He let go of my hand for a moment, went to grab the tablet with my medical chart, and began to read it, though he knew it by heart.
"You started the Utrogestant regimen almost a month ago and per your last results…mmmh, everything seems to be fine," he commented. He sat down on the rolling chair and placed the tablet on his lap; then looking at me again he asked, "So, Bella, how far along are you according to your calculations?"
"A couple of weeks, I think, but I'm not sure," I said tentatively, he nodded thoughtfully, his long fingers crossed under his chin, he rolled to get something from the desk, oh the memories of that desk…
After a few seconds he started fiddling with the ultrasound machine.
"I'm going to try and do an abdominal ultrasound first, if I can't see anything then I'm going to do a transvaginal one. Is that okay with you?"
I nodded, "everything's ready, it's time to see the baby," he said smiling.
I ran a hand over my stomach, it was still relatively flat. It was… chilling to think that in a few months it would be round as the life I bore grew inside. Edward had his back to me, he was starting up and controlling the instruments to make the first scan.
He put the cold gel on my skin, making me jump a little. He smiled, I smiled widely back. I looked into his eyes, and all I saw was calmness and anticipation. I relaxed on the exam table as he placed the transducer on my abdomen.
Edward's POV
The image appeared on the screen and there it was, clear as day, she was pregnant. My brow furrowed as I examined the image closely.
"What's wrong?" Bella asked, alarmed.
"Um, there are two babies," I replied.
"Twins?" She said her voice cracking.
"Yes, there are two babies in one sac," I explained.
"Sorry for my ignorance, but what does that mean?" She asked, blushing.
"That the babies are identical," I added.
"Identical twins?"
"Yes,"
The scan took a few minutes; I was examining her very closely. My brow furrowed again as I noticed an incongruence. This didn't go unnoticed by Bella, "Is everything okay?" she asked, alarmed and rising from the table.
"Lay back down please," I asked her.
"What's wrong?" She asked again, crying.
I removed the transducer from her abdomen and rolled my chair to be beside her.
"Hey, don't cry," I said, wiping her tears.
"What's wrong with the babies?" She repeated.
I took a deep breath, "there's nothing wrong with the babies per se, Bella. What happens is, they look bigger," I explained.
"Bigger, how so?"
"They were conceived at a different date than what you told me," I stated.
"What does that mean exactly, Edward?" she said. I could sense some annoyance in her voice now.
I chuckled, oh god how I love this woman! "Bella, your husband is not the only man you've been with," I reminded her with a smile.
She took in my words, and then realization hit her, "Are you saying that they could be yours?" She gasped.
I smiled widely, "I'm not saying could, Bella, they are mine," I said with conviction.
Bella leaned back and I brought the ultrasound machine closer, I placed the transducer on her skin again and moved it until the babies were on display.
"Those are your babies Edward," she said her eyes glassy with tears.
"No, Bella, our babies," I stated and leaned in to kiss her.
My heart beat faster as her lips came in contact with mine, I groaned into her mouth. I let myself go and shed some tears of happiness as I had confirmed my suspicions, her babies were mine. We broke apart breathless. I looked at the screen and smiled, I nudged Bella down on the chair again and finished the exam.
"Can I get a picture?" She asked.
"Sure, I'll get you a few," I said as I took out some shots for her. I emailed one of the pictures to my personal email, so I could look at it later.
"You can get the images before you leave," I instructed.
"Do you have to go?" I asked her.
"No, I have time, why?" She asked curiously.
"I was wondering if you would like to have lunch with me," I asked her sheepishly.
"At the studio?"
I nodded my head and looked down, I wished I could take her out, but it wasn't feasible right now.
Bella placed her hands on my cheeks and raised my head, "yes of course I would love to have lunch with you," she kissed my lips lightly.
I helped her off the exam table and handed her the dress and tights, Bella dressed quickly after I cleaned off the transducer gel off of her abdomen. She giggled, "it tickles," she said.
I smiled and kissed her again, "I love you," I stated.
Bella blushed and hugged me tight, I knew she wasn't ready to tell me yet, but I also know that she feels something for me. I was a little clingy and distraught today as Leah and I fought last night, the things she said to me broke my heart. To be honest I don't know how much more of this I can take, I'm tired of her attitude and mistreatments. I needed to do something about it fast.
You're a fucking wimp Edward, I don't even know why I married you! Were some of the things she said to me. I slept in Hayden's room last night, and cried myself to sleep like the wimp she said I was. I was crying so hard I woke my baby boy up. He got up from his bed and came to me on the floor and tried to console me.
"Dada okay?" He'd asked.
"Yeah baby, daddy is okay," I replied to him. After that I just held him close to my body and rocked him back to sleep. I drifted off a few minutes after he did…I hugged Bella closer to me and inhaled her sweet scent as I came back to the present.
"How far along am I?" she asked.
"Five weeks," I replied.
"What am I telling my husband and family?" she asked.
"That you are about two weeks along,"
"But my bump, I'm not going to be able to hide it for long," she said. Fuck she was right!
"Can you hide it for a few more weeks? Not wear a dress like this one for a while?" I suggested it to her.
"Yes, I guess, although I'm going to be showing more in a few weeks. Can I just say it's because they're twins? Could I get away with it?" she asked me.
"I guess you could, I don't think people are going to be as nitpicky, you're petit, you're bound to look a little bigger," I chuckled.
"Are you calling me fat, Edward?" she smiled.
"Not in a million years," I said.
She smiled, "when is my due date?" she asked.
"June," I said. "And for my family?"
"July," she nodded.
"Obviously we'll have to check every month, but due to your petite stature, maybe even every two weeks. Remember to come see me if you have any problems," I said the last sentence with a mischievous smile, Bella also smiled.
"I'll head off to the studio first. Do you want me to pick up something to eat?" She asked.
"No, but could you go down to the Italian bakery and get some garlic bread and maybe something for dessert?" I asked her.
"Sure," she smiled as she grabbed her things and headed out of the building.
I tried to hand her some money but she declined, "no, it's on me darling," she said.
~DD~
I arrived at the studio before Bella. I shrugged off my shoes, opened my belt to untuck my shirt, unbuttoned it, and shrugged it off. After that, I started boiling the water for the homemade pasta that Mrs. Biers makes. Over the years she has taught me how to make some Italian dishes from scratch. She was an Italian who married an American. I loved that woman to pieces. I wondered if I could tell her about Bella. I put on some soft music as I gathered the ingredients for the alfredo sauce while the chicken and spinach cooked with some onion and spices. I didn't know if Bella would like this dish, I hoped she would.
While cooking, I realized that Bella and I didn't know each other that much, so I thought of questions to ask her as I stirred everything. The pasta was almost done, so I mixed the sauce with the chicken and let it simmer for a few minutes. After that, the pasta was perfectly cooked to al dente. After removing some of the water, I drained the rest, then added it to the pan with the chicken and sauce mixture. It had dried up a little so I added some of the pasta water. After that, I sautéed some vegetables with some butter and garlic. The studio smelled amazing, as I turned off the pan with the vegetables I felt a pair of arms wrap around my middle.
"Hi," I greeted her.
"It smells so good. What did you make?" Bella asked.
"Alfredo pasta with chicken and spinach, and I sautéed some vegetables,"
"Oh Edward, pasta alfredo is my favorite," Bella exclaimed excitedly.
"Sorry I took so long, there was a line at the bakery for some reason," she apologized.
"It 's okay. What did you bring?" I asked.
"I brought half a loaf of garlic bread and a few pastries: some cannolis and lobster tail pastries filled with cheese cream. Also some chocolate strawberries and a slice of Italian cheesecake," she said with a wicked smile.
"You're planning on eating all of that?" she pinched my arm in response.
"No, I might share some of it with you," she said, kissing me.
Bella set the table as I brought the pan and everything else to the table. We sat close together and I served us the pasta and vegetables. Bella moaned when she took the first bite, I chuckled.
"This tastes so good," she said, taking another bite.
We ate in silence for a few minutes, then I asked my first menial question.
"What is your favorite color?"
"Um, I really don't have a favorite color, but I gravitate towards bright colors," she said. Most of the clothes she'd worn before had some sort of print or color, the blue dress she was wearing today looked amazing. Both the color and the style of the dress.
With her finger, she motioned me to answer the question, as her mouth was full of pasta, "I like blue in any shade," I said smiling and caressing the bit of fabric on her thigh.
"Do you have any pets?" She asked after she swallowed a bite of food.
"Yes, I have a dog, his name is Milo, but he lives in my parents' home," I explained.
She looked at me curiously, "why?"
I sighed before answering, "My wife is allergic, so my parents take care of him for me," I replied.
"You don't seem to be happy about it," she noticed, clever girl.
"No, I'm not keen on the idea, but there's nothing I can do about it," I told her.
"What about you?"
"My parents worked too much so as a kid I didn't have a pet, and now I can't have one because my husband is severely allergic to pet dander," she said. I chuckled, "what?" she asked curiously.
"Our spouses are very alike," she nodded.
"You know I'm a doctor, what do you work in exactly?"
"Um, well I'm finishing my degree in business, but I'm the executive manager in my parents' company, I also oversee the marketing department. I'm basically in charge of the employees and ads for the company," She replied.
"You're 20 years old, right?" she nodded, "which brings on my next question, does it bother you that I'm older than you?"
"Not in the slightest, my husband is four years older than me," she said nonchalantly, I smiled.
"So you like Italian food?" she nodded, "what else do you like to eat?"
"Anything that is not pork, crab or ginger and celery," she replied, wrinkling her nose.
"My mom makes a mean braised pork, and she also does fried pork chunks with onion, I might change your mind," I said smugly.
"You can try Dr. Cullen," she challenged me.
After we finished what was on our plates, we placed everything in the dishwasher. I brought the tray of pastries to the living room and settled it on the coffee table. "Do you want anything to drink with dessert?" I asked her.
"Do you have some milk?" I nodded.
I brought milk and a cup of coffee for myself.
"You're cruel," she said, looking at the cup.
"You can drink one cup of coffee a day while pregnant, just one," I told her, she nodded.
Before I sat down I unbuckled my belt and removed it, as I was putting it away I remembered what I had gotten her.
"I have a surprise for you," I said, and she looked at me excitedly.
I brought the bundle over and handed it to her, she unwrapped the tissue paper and smiled.
"Now you have one for when you come here," I stated, I had gotten her another blanket like the one she had in her car.
"Thanks Edward," she said leaning in and giving me a quick kiss.
I leaned back and made space for her to lean against me, she wrapped the blanket around herself and got comfortable.
"All of this looks delicious," I said, grabbing a cannoli from the tray and placing it between us. We bit the decadent pastry and groaned as we tasted it, it was so good.
After that I grabbed a lobster tail, "I haven't had one of these in a while," I told Bella.
"It's one of my favorites, I love the crust is so flaky," she said, her eyes rolling back as she took a bite. I ate the other one relishing the succulent taste.
We finished the rest of the pastries and fed each other a slice of cheesecake. We fought for the last bite, Bella grabbed the last spoonful and placed it on my lips, she then leaned in and kissed me. I grabbed her waist and kissed her back eagerly. She groaned into my mouth and pressed her body against mine. I sat up on the couch and placed her on my lap, not breaking the kiss. Her little whimpers and groans were spurring me on, this woman doesn't know the extent of the effect she has on me, or how much I want her.
Her hands grazed over my naked torso, her nails slightly scratching my skin pleasurably, I groaned and ventured down her neck. With both hands I searched for her zipper and lowered it. She swiftly pulled the dress over her head and displayed her body for me. I saw the curve of her abdomen where my babies resided. A warm feeling spread over me at the thought, Bella was having my babies.
I needed to gain access to her lower half so in the midst of our frenzied kissing I ripped her tights.
"Edward!" Bella exclaimed, surprised.
"I'll buy you twenty pairs, don't worry," I chuckled as I grazed her nipples which had pebbled as the cold air hit them.
"Oh, Edward," Bella moaned. "Please make me cum darling, please," she whimpered.
I kissed her neck and chest and swiftly removed her bra freeing her breasts, Bella moaned at the feeling of them being free.
"They're going to get big, fuck I can't wait!" I smiled against her supple skin.
Bella opened the fly of my pants with quick fingers, I slid them off and stayed in my boxer briefs. She palmed my cock making it fully erect, then she ground her heated core on my erection.
"Bella," I groaned into her mouth.
We continued kissing and grinding on each other, her pussy, slick with arousal, making it very easy for her to slide against me. I buried my face in her cleavage and ravished her tits as she continued to rock her hips against my cock. We dry humped like two horny teenagers.
"Yes, oh! Bella, baby, yes," I moaned. Hell if she continued doing that, she was going to make me cum.
"Oh, oh, oh, yes" she said as I moved my hips in sync with hers.
I loved the way her tits bounced as she took pleasure from me.
"Fuck! Edward, yes!" Bella mumbled as she quivered and I felt her come undone.
"OH, FUCK YES!" she screamed as her orgasm rippled through her, she continued rocking her hips, her slick pussy encasing my cock.
"Bella, Bella, oh darling, ung" I groaned, hugging her to me as I let go and came undone myself.
"Edward," she whimpered as she clung to me, she was shaking, "did you cum again?" I asked her breathless, she nodded burying her face in my neck…
~DD~
BPOV
I got in my car and headed home, rethinking the date with Edward. He was always the best, he had been since I met him. Every time I went to my appointments we had sex, something I hadn't been able to enjoy until now. Edward and Jacob were so different, I needed to set my feelings straight, but what Edward doesn't know is, Jacob and I are bound to each other for five years. We have to be married at least that long in order for there not to be any repercussions for the company. No one could find out of my affair with Edward, if it was known, my family would lose everything in favor of the blacks and vice versa. Now we were going to have a baby together…babies, I smiled at the thought.
I hoped Jacob took the news of the babies well, I really don't want a repeat of last time.
I parked in the garage and then opened the door, "I'm home!" I called out as I entered the house, it was a little after two. Jacob was home because he wasn't feeling well.
Jacob appeared from the living room and lifted me into welcoming arms, "Hello, honey," he kissed me.
"Is everything okay? Did you get checked out?" he asked, "Did you have lunch already?" I replied with another question.
"Yeah, Mrs. Cope made me something before she left for the day. She said you gave her permission," I nodded.
"Bella what's wrong?" He asked as he noticed my hesitation.
"Please don't be mad at me" I started.
"Why would I get mad, what happened?" He asked again.
I looked in my purse for the results and the ultrasound pictures, I handed the envelope to Jacob.
He took it wearily, he then opened it, and scanned the contents, I had a lump in my throat. I was waiting for him to yell at me but he didn't do that.
"You're pregnant?" He asked, I nodded, "with twins," I added. Then he looked at the ultrasound pictures.
"How far along?"
"About three weeks," I lied just like Edward told me to do.
"Are you mad?" I asked, biting my lip as he wasn't saying anything.
"No," he said as his eyes widened with excitement, I think he was in shock
He closed the space between us and lifted me up in his arms, "Bells! My love, that's fantastic!" he said.
"Mrs. Black, I love you so much!" he said, kissing me deeply.
I looked at him, "me too Jake," I said.
"We have to tell everyone!" He said smiling, "later," I nodded in agreement.
"How did the appointment go?" He asked, leading me into the living room where he had been resting.
"It went well, I'll have to check myself every month, possibly every two weeks because of my small frame, but it's okay, the babies are fine" I said smiling.
"I'm going to turn off the television," he said, grabbing the remote quickly.
These babies meant a lot to me, but if anyone ever found out about the way they were conceived… the hours of passion Edward and I shared a few weeks ago. The wild sex, the shocking pleasure... the absence of a condom or any other contraceptive method. I was sure that Edward was the hottest and sexiest man Ihad ever met, and I felt an incredible attraction to him. An all too tempting attraction. But it was not love…. Or was it? He made my dream finally come true, and helped me find out what was wrong with me and then made my womb thrive with life.
I could only hope that the babies would have my brown hair, or else it would be a problem…
EPOV
I'd just gotten back home from two exhausting births. One natural, that lasted about eight hours and an emergency C- section for a pre-eclampsia patient that didn't follow my recommendations.
I drifted off but woke up what felt like minutes later because my phone was ringing. It was a number I didn't know but I answered it regardless.
"Hello," I said, my voice groggy.
"Is this Dr. Cullen?" It was an older woman.
"Yes, this is he,"
"Oh thank goodness, I'm calling on behalf of Isabella Swan…"
I nearly jumped off the bed when I heard her name.
"What happened?" I tried to mask the worry in my voice.
"She's in shock, she's been hurt, you have to come quick!" She said in a shaky voice.
After that she proceeded to give me the address to Bella's home. I quickly grabbed what I needed and ran out of the house like a bat out of Hell. I got in the car and was muttering the address to myself until I entered it into the GPS.
I drove as quickly as I could, the woman's words repeating like a mantra in my head.
So who wants Edward to cook them some pasta shirtless?
What do you think happened with Bella?
Q&A from last chapter:
