This is kinda random but, I've been wanting to change the title of this story to something a little better. What do you guys think. Should I change it? Or just leave it as is? If I should change it, I need some ideas. I've been brainstorming, but I can't come up with anything super good.
*ALL CHARACTERS BELONG TO THE LOVELY STEPHENIE MEYERS
Chapter 21
Bella POV April
With a groan, I sit down yet another box and reached for a box cutter to cut open the tape. Today was big day for everyone. Today was moving day for Alice, Jasper and Little Kimberly. They have officially moved into their home and Edward had officially sold the condo and had moved all of his things into my...Well Our, home.
Miss Kimberly Claire Whitlock was born three weeks before her due date, on February 12th weighing just barely four pounds. The day she was born we had just finished up with Alice's baby shower and she was sitting in a chair while the guys put the presents in the car and Esme and I were cleaning up.
Alice had been quiet for most of the day and stayed seated for the entire shower. She had been complaining of a headache and swollen feet. I was worried about her as well as Jasper and Esme. I said we should just cancel the shower and do it after the baby was born, but Allie was determined to get this baby shower done and over with. She had been so excited about the party and had been helping and planning for months, so she said the party was staying as planned and she would be just fine.
Jasper was walking by to grab more stuff, when Alice grabbed his arm and stopped him. She started crying and saying that her headache was getting worse and something didn't feel right. Alice was apologizing to everyone between her sobs, stating that we were right and she should have let us cancel the shower.
Jasper and Carlisle didn't hesitate for a second and Jasper had her in his arms and out the door. Me and Esme, along with Edward and Masen all got into Carlisle and Esme SUV and tried to keep up with Jasper and Alice's Audi as it sped through the streets. We reached the hospital in less then ten minutes and the rest of them had already gotten there and the nurse took Alice up right away, when she saw how pale she was.
An hour later a frazzled Jasper came jogging into the waiting room wearing a blue set of scrubs and a hospital cap. Jasper announced that Alice had preeclampsia and her blood pressure was dangerously high, and baby girls heart rate was dropping. The doctor started prepping for a emergency C-section, right away. He said that the doctor had high hopes that everything would be alright.
After only 45 minutes, Jasper came back to the waiting room, red faced and teary eyed, but wearing a huge smile. "She's here and she's perfect. She's four pounds even and mom and baby are doing great! They are moving Alice into a room and they have moved baby girl into the NICU for some testing and oxygen." Jasper passed his IPhone out and showed everyone the tiny pink bundle in his arms.
Alice was released from the hospital four days later, but since Kimberly wasn't drinking from a bottle yet nor was she off the oxygen, the doctor informed them that She would have to stay there, in the NICU for a few more weeks.
Kimberly, She was tiny, but she lived up to her strong name and fought hard. After only six weeks, Kimmy was able to come home from the NICU. She made her grand entrance in a soft pink and white flowery dress and a white bow that was almost the size of her head.
She had light brown hair that was pin straight and the brightest blue eyes, for such a young age. But she was just absolutely beautiful and such a sweet baby. Kimmy, was almost two months old now and was doing really great. She was reaching each and every milestone she needed and was growing like a wild flower.
Kimberly has wrapped her uncle Edward around her tiny finger, each cry or squeak and Edward is up asking Alice if she's ok. Masen was very unsure about having another baby in the house, but once he realized that she was going to steal Edward or me away from him, he started to like her. Mase told Alice the day they brought Kimmy home, that Kimberly Claire was to long of a name, and he decided that he was going to call her Lee,Lee for short.
The little nickname actually stuck and fit her so well, that I've heard Alice and Jasper calling her Lee,Lee even when they swore up and down that her name was Kimberly and she would be called Kimberly. It's not that Kimberly is not a pretty name, it is, it's just so long for such a tiny baby. Edward often calls her Kimmy like I do, but refers to her as Lee,Lee for Maser.
We spent the last few weeks splitting up all of mine and Alice's stuff, while passing the baby around in between. We also had to tackle the garage and find all of Alice and Jaspers stuff, along with a few baby items from Masen that Alice asked if she could use for Kimmy. I was more then willing to let her use anything she wanted. I've been telling Edward that this is why, I've kept a lot of Masen's old things. They come in handy when someone in the family has another baby.
It took all of us two full day to get everything moved around in the garage and to find all of Alice's stuff. I was sure that once we moved out of this house, that we would probably find more of Alice's things mixed in with mine. I'm starting to realize that me and Alice are a bit of pack rats and not very organized ones.
Thankfully both of the kids did great with the move. I mean Kimmy doesn't really do much, just eat, sleeps, poops, repeats. She would nurse and burp and after a diaper change was more then happy to be put in her baby swing or bouncy seat. Alice and Jasper also took turns wearing, Kimmy in the baby wrap. It was quite cute and I made sure to take lots of pictures for Facebook.
Masen just wanted to be a big helper and was also ready to do anything we asked. Jasper and Edward tried to include him in carrying out the furniture and letting him help take things apart. I had him help me with cleaning the master bedroom and bathroom and helping me move all of my clothes into the closet and to unpack Edward things into his side and drawers.
Alice was always asking Masen to help with Kimberly. She was scared that Masen would think that she forgot about him, because she had a baby. So she made sure to include Masen in caring for Kimberly. He would give her, her binky and would hold her bottle and even throw away dirty diapers. It actually really helped Masen to enjoy having a new baby around. Seeing him with Kimmy, was kinda a nice tester to see how he would do with a baby, and so far so good!
It was already three in the afternoon and we had already moved Jasper and Alice out of our house and have started unpacking the U-Haul at their new house. When the guys were unpacking the truck while I tried to move the boxes to the right rooms and I tried to unpack the kitchen for Alice.
Alice was sitting on her new sofa, nursing Kimberly. Her head was back against the cushion with her eyes closed. The number of times I had sat there, just like that, when Masen was Kimmy's age… it seems like yesterday and yet it was almost four years ago. Next year, my little baby will be starting preschool! I'm not sure I'm ready for that. But I knew it was going to be good for Masen.
Edward walked through the door carrying a large box and surprisingly Esme and Carlisle were right behind him. Masen was perched in Carlisle arms with a cookie in his hands and crumbs on his mouth. "Let me see my little granddaughter!" Esme said, walking right over to Alice and reaching for the baby. Alice had just pulled Kimmy off and was pulling her shirt down. "She needs to be burped, Mom" Alice told Esme as she handed over a full and sleepy Kimberly.
Carlisle sit Masen down at one of the bar stools and placed a kiss on the crown of his head, before walking over to greet his daughter and Grandbaby. Edward sit down the large box announcing that they just needed to unload their bedroom furniture and they would be done with the truck. His face was flushed and he looked exhausted.
"There is some iced lemonade in the fridge, why don't you grab a glass, while I try to keep Masen's sugar intake to a minimum" I told Edward and gave him a quick kiss. Walking over to where Masen was sitting, I leaned against the bar and eyed the chocolate chip cookie in his hand. "Aright kiddo, fess up. Who gave you the cookie?" Masen giggles and shook his head. "I ain't tellin. Mama" Overexaggerating a sigh I placed a hand on either of his shoulders and pushed him slightly to look at me. "Alight, don't tell me, but I know where you live and I'll figure it out eventually" I shrugged and walked away from the bar and back over to Edward, who was leaning against the counter drinking his lemonade.
I wrapped my arms around him and laid my head on his sweaty chest. My poor man, has been working so hard today. We might have to sneak out of here early, so he can go home and enjoy a nice hot shower, and maybe after I put Masen to bed, I can give him a massage and get him all relaxed and maybe have a little massage myself, if you know what I mean...Wink, wink.
Alice said that they were buying everyone Pizza for their help today, and there would be no arguments heard about it. I was more then happy to not have to make dinner tonight. Edward offered to go with Jasper to pick up the pizza, I was sad to see him go, but I know it's good for him to spend time with his brother in-law. Carlisle was going to tag along as well, but Esme had just released, Kimberly and Grampy wanted his turn.
I finished unpacking the box, I had been working on, in the kitchen. It was full of glass dishes and was really heavy, so I didn't want Alice to have to worry about it, she was already going to have a lot on her hands with caring and nursing Kimberly. I asked Alice where she would like everything, and she ended up coming in the kitchen and helping me put things away. "Thanks again, Bella. We couldn't have done it without you guys" She gave me a tight hug and whispered in my ear. "I'm gonna miss you, Roomie" I gave her a squeeze, than pulled away from her.
"I will miss you too Allie, but I'm only ten minutes away and you can see me anytime. Plus I'm sure I will be over here at least three times a week; to see my Kimmy bear!" Alice smiled, her blue eyes a little watery. She was probably still dealing with the postpartum hormones. Or she might really be this sad. I wasn't going to lie, I was really sad to think that I wasn't going to be living with my best friend anymore.
We had been roomies for almost five years. Alice was my saving grace, when I had Masen. She was by my side, though the sleepless newborn nights, she helped me when I got Mastitis and was completely miserable. Alice, cared for Masen all by herself for a week, so I could rest and never once complained about it. Plus without her being my roommates, I wouldn't have met Edward.
We were closing a big chapter in our lives, but we were also turning the page to a even better chapter then the last. Alice was coming into Mommyhood and I was finding out who I was outside of my mommyhood and finding a love life. But we were always be each others best friend and a soul sister forever.
We walked back to the living room together and sit down on the sofa. Carlisle put Kimberly on her playmat and him and Masen were laying on their tummy's in front of her, cooing and trying desperately to get her attention. "Lee,Lee I gots you toy, you want your toy baby?" He shook it faster in front of her face, making Carlisle step in and show him how to do it slowly. Esme stood above them, snapping a million pictures of them.
"Now it's your turn, Bella. Just imagine your brown hair and Edward's green eyes! Gosh it would be a beautiful child" She sighed wistfully, getting a far off look, as she imagined a house full of grandbabies. "Not yet, Esme. I want to be married before I have another child. Me and Edward agreed to date for a full year before we decide when and if we want to get married. Edward hasn't mentioned anything about it and we are only two months away, from us being together a whole year!"
I picked at the string on my jeans, not wanting to look at the faces of my family. Edward has not mentioned us getting engaged, since I told him I wanted to have dated for at least a year, before I accepted a proposal. Maybe he thinks he can't even talk about it till then. The last he has mentioned is getting married was at Alice's wedding, and that was over eight months ago.
As almost sensing my distress, Masen hopped up from his spot on the floor and walked over to me, crawling in my lap. I smiled and wrapped my arms around my baby boy, kissing the top of his head. "Have you had a good day, Maser?" Masen nodded, smiling. "Yeah, I was such a big boy, mama! Eddie he let me help and so did Uncle Jazz" Masen hadn't called Edward daddy again and I knew that disappointed Edward, but we would never push Masen to do anything he didn't want too. Masen knows the right time to call Edward dad, and that's all, that matters.
Thinking back to his reaction too, when Edward got him the bike. Masen was so happy and excited, I think that was probably the best gift, Masen ever received. And coming from someone who he looks up to, means so much more. Just like, Edward said, Masen was fully riding his bicycle by the new year and now he's trying to talk Edward. (More me, then him) to take off his training wheels, so he can learn how to ride like a big boy. I mean he's only three! How can he be ready for a bike with no training wheels.
I asked, Charlie when me and, Emmett started riding a bike with no training wheels. I truly wasn't fully surprised by his answer. He said that when Emmett had just turned four, he found a free bike kids bike on the side of the street, so he grabbed it and brought it home. Emmett was always a bigger person, so he fit on the kids bike perfectly. Charlie said he didn't remember ever using training wheels, and honestly had no clue about them, till I started riding a bike. Charlie just threw Emmett on the bike and hoped for the best. He said Em, fell quite a few times, but he had it down to a pat, within a month and was riding everywhere!
I on the other hand didn't stop using training wheels till I was eleven years old and my brother bullied me into taking them off. I was even a clumsy kid and it took me the rest of the year to learn how, still to this day I can't ride a bicycle that well. It seems that Masen is taking after his uncle in the sport world. No surprise there.
Masen pulled my wrist in his lap and played with my new Apple Watch that Edward got me for Valentine's Day. It keeps Masen entertained for quite some time, and he can't even do that much on it. I've loved having it so far, I am able to respond to text and emails without having to get my phone. Now that way if Edward or whoever is watching Masen can always get ahold of me, even when my phone is off.
Mine and Edward's first Valentine's Day was just amazing. I told Edward I wanted to keep it low key, as Kimberly had just been born a few days ago and I wasn't sure I wanted to celebrate. Edward agreed, but I had another plans that he had no idea about. I asked Esme if Masen could stay the night with her. Carlisle had to work that Valentine's Day so they were going to celebrate on another day.
I reserved a suite for the night at the Crowne Plaza in downtown Seattle. It was a bit pricey but it was so worth it. Edward was always doing such extravagant things for me and I wanted to return the favor in some way. When Edward got home that might, I sent him straight to the shower and told him to put on the clothes I left in there.
Esme picked up Masen from Sybil's after her doctors appointment and I had already packed Masen's overnight bag and left it there with the sitter. I'm sure Sybil would have let Masen stay the night, but I personally prefer when Masen stays the night with family. Sybil is an amazing nanny, but she's not family at the end of the day.
Lately I've been on edge around anyone new. Since seeing James at Lake crescent in December I have been very jumpy. Any loud noise, if the house creeks or I think I saw a shadow anytime I'm alone. It's been getting so bad that Edward decided to fully move in early and moved almost everything into my house in January.
Not long after, Christmas was when the phone calls started. Always a different number and always the same thing. I answer the phone saying hello, but the other side is silent, I can only hear soft breathing and what sounds like a train in the background. I can't say that it's James, but it's weird as hell and makes me nervous. And Sue thinks she spotted him in the office of forks high school when she was leaving the other day. She immediately called me, letting me know what she had saw. She mentioned that he was also with a women with bright curly red hair. Which had to be Victoria, who else would it be and what the hell are they doing in forks much less. If Charlie was to see him around, he would kill him.
I don't like how close, James is getting. Me and Masen are in forks every once in awhile. Masen is there more then me, as he spends the night with Charlie. What if James comes to Port Angeles. It's less then an hour drive from forks and it's not hard to figure out what school I work out, and Edward is a known lawyer in PA.
With James, being so close by, we have asked Sybil to not take Masen to the park as much or any outings if she can. Sybil is almost 75 years old and Mase is not a slow kid, he can be out of your view with a snap of your fingers and be gone. With Sybil not able to move nearly as fast, I don't want to take the chance of Masen running off and someone finding him. But the fact is, I don't even know if James knows that Masen exists. I certainly never told him, and I didn't hangout with anyone other then Alice, Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett during college. They definitely didn't tell James, so it's kinda up in the air right now.
I've racked my brain over and over, trying to figure out who could have told him I was from Forks Washington. I mean my school file from college might have had my old home address, but I'm sure I just put down Renée's old home address. I can't see why I would have put Charlie's address on my application. I didn't talk to very many people on campus and I certainly didn't tell them that I was from anywhere other than Phoenix Arizona.
The front door opened and Masen jumped off my lap and effectively kicking me in the stomach, making me groan. "Damn Mase, you are so boney" Masen laughed and apologized for hurting my stomach, before going back to begging Edward for food. "Wait a second, you" Edward lightly scolded Masen. He picked him up and kissed his cheek before they walked over to me. "Won't you come eat with us, Princess?" Edward asked me; with a stretched out hand.
I didn't hesitate a second and I took his hand pulling myself up. "Well how could I say no, too my two favorite boys." I kissed Edward and pushed myself against his free side. His arm wrapped around me and held me close. Esme somehow convinced, Carlisle to give her Kimmy back and to go and eat with everyone else.
Alice seemed a little nervous about leaving Kimmy to go and eat, but I saw Jasper whispering in her ear and with one last look at her mother and daughter, she let Jazz pull her away to eat without a baby in her hands for a change. "Go sit down and I will bring you two plates" I told Edward, giving him one more kiss before letting him go.
I walked over to the pizza boxes and opened them. "Sooo, when are you and my brother finally going to tie the knot?" Alice asked me. She bumped her hip into mine giving me a smile. I just shrugged and continued to plate up the pizza. "I don't know, Al. Edward wants it to be a surprise and is definitely not hinting to anything. He mentioned that it would be our turn next at your wedding, but hasn't said anything sense. Our one year anniversary is just a couple months away, maybe he's planning to do something then"
I wasn't going to stress about it now, we decided months ago to wait to decide till one year. It will happen when it happens.
I cut up Masen's pepperoni pizza in four strips, just how he likes it and put some ranch dressing in the corner of his plate. Edward likes the supreme pizza, so I put two slices of that on his plate and a garlic bread knot. Mr Masen is not liking bread at the moment. Thankfully he doesn't realize that pizza is pretty much just bread. I'm sure this little food inversion will be over soon.
Edward had Masen sitting down with his cup and they were both waiting so patiently. I sit both of their plates down in front of them. "Here you go, guys. Edward, baby what can I get you to drink?" I asked him, my fingers rubbing the back of his neck. "I'll just take a beer, baby" He gave me a sweet smile and I could help but to lean down and kiss those pouty lips.
I got Edward his beer, and made my own plate and cup of water before taking a seat next to Edward and tried to catch up on what the conversation was.
Masen with his never ending stomach ate three whole slices of pizza and asked Alice for a cutie he spotted in their fridge, before he finally announced that he was done eating and was so full he could puke. I only ate one slice and half of the other. Edward ended up finishing mine and getting second. I wasn't very hungry, so I just sipped my water while, Edward and Masen finished eating. Edward took my half full glass of water and down the rest of it, before getting up and refilling it again and drinking half then sitting it down in front of me, so I could finish it off.
After dinner, Esme and Carlisle called it a night and told everyone goodnight, but not before Esme made each of us promise to come over to dinner on Sunday. Stating that we haven't had a family dinner since Kimberly was born and that just wouldn't do. Kimmy needed the full Cullen experience already and even Jasper agreed to that. Saying no one loves like Esme Cullen and Kimberly deserves to have that too.
Kimmy was starting to get fussy and I could tell that, Alice was ready to start her nighttime routine and get her off to bed. "Masen honey, why don't you tell Aunt Alice and uncle Jasper goodbye and give Lee,Lee a kissy" Masen made a face about giving Kimberly a kiss, but he still walked over there and had Alice lean down so he could give both of them a hug and kiss goodbye. Jasper picked him up and gave him a big squeeze, making Masen grunt and giggle.
Edward took Kimberly out of Alice's hands and cuddles her into his chest, placing a kiss on her head of hair. "You be good for your mama, Kimberly and don't you forget about your Uncle, now that you live away from me, Uncle definitely won't forget you Kimmy bear" Edward gave her one more kiss and cuddle, and very carefully place the wiggling bundle in my arms.
"Shhh, don't worry I will give you back to mommy. Can't I tell you goodbye first" I bounced her softly and she calmed down some, her blue eyes locked on my face, as if she was trying to remember everything about it.
"There you go, pretty baby. You are just so sweet and so beautiful. Yes you are. Sleep good for your parents tonight, you guys all need your sleep. Tomorrow Auntie Bella will come and see you, sweet dreams Kimmy bear" I kissed her chubby cheeks and gave her back to her mama. She started rooting at Alice shirt and I knew it was time for us to go.
"We will see y'all later, don't be a stranger now" Jasper says as he holds open the front door. "We won't and same for you and Alice. I've got to get my baby fix somewhere" Jasper laughed and shook his head, mumbling something about a baby crazed woman. He wished us one last goodbye and shut the door locking it up behind him.
Edward opened my door first and close it once I was inside. Masen held his hand and they walked around the car to the drivers side, and got Masen in his car seat. "Eddie we can play outside for a little while, when we gets home?" Masen asks in the sweetest little voice. "Please!" He adds in there. Edward eyes plead with me, begging me to accept. I nod slightly and smile.
"Yeah we can play for a bit. Not to long though we all need to get some sleep, buddy." Masen sighed, but agreed non the less. Just wanting to make sure him and Edward could at least play a full game of football. "If it's alright with mommy, we can play two full games, baby" Masen looked at me with a huge smile, like I would ever say no to him. "Of course you can Maser." I reached myself back and patted Masen's knee.
We made it home with more then enough time to spare before bedtime, so Masen and Edward went straight outside without a second to waste. While they played outside, I picked up the toys in the living room and folding the throw blankets, putting them away in the whicker basket by the couch. While I was folding the last blanket, Masen came barreling into the house, though the back door and straight to his room.
Crashes and bangs were coming from his room for a moment, till Masen came running back out of his room holding his football helmet and wearing the jersey that Emmett brought him. "Slow down Son. You are going to fall" without stopping or slowing down, he yelled out a yes ma'am and continued his path toward the door. I laughed shaking my head and went back to my chores.
Masen's room was messy as ever when I stepped in. I'm guessing the crashing was from him digging through his closet to find his football gear. I always keep all of his things in one spot, but Masen is notorious for dumping out everything till he finds the one thing he's looking for. I know that one day, I will walk into his room and it will be empty. All the toys will be long gone and the days where clothes scattered my floors would be no more, so for now, I cleaned up this mess with a smile and felt grateful that I was able to be cleaning up his mess.
When I wake up Saturday morning, Edward's side of the bed is empty and cold meaning he's been gone for quite some time now.
He loves to do this on Saturdays. He will wake up early and get up Masen, so I can sleep in. I've told him time and time again, that I don't expect him to do this and I'm more then happy to get up with Masen in the mornings. But I think he enjoys having a few hours of just him and Masen. They will watch cartoons and eat cereal on the couch together. Edward can't cook to save his life, so they just stick with the lucky charms, so he doesn't burn down my kitchen.
Today, Me and Edward are taking Masen to the state fair that's in town. Alice and Jasper surprisingly asked if they could tag along with Lee,Lee. I didn't expect them to want to go, seeing as they don't like to bring Kimberly out in public around new people and germs. Since she was a premature baby, they are very careful with her. If Kimmy was to get sick, she could likely end up in the hospital again, and non of us want that to happen.
When I asked Alice about it, she said that Kimberly would stay in the baby wrap, so no one could touch her and they could keep germs to a minimum. It's been a week since they moved into the new house and they were getting a little stir crazy and was ready to get out and about. I was just happy I was going to get to see my cute little niece. I'm hopeful that Alice will let me baby wear her for a little while. I know how hard it can be to share when they are that little.
I finally pull myself out of bed and take advantage of having a master bedroom and not having to leave my room to take a shower. This way Masen doesn't even realize I'm up yet and I'm shower normally goes interrupted, unless Edward follows me into the shower, but I definitely didn't mind. Saving water, ya know.
I was rinsing the shaving cream off my legs when the bathroom door opened, revealing a shirt less, Edward. "Good morning, baby. I hope you slept well" Edward said to me though the glass shower door. I pushed it open slightly and stuck my head out puckering my lips for a smoochie kiss, which he so sweetly granted me. "I did sleep well" I said once he pulled away. "Where's Masen?" I asked him. I was hoping we might be able to have a shower together. I feel like I haven't had a second alone with him in forever.
"He's eating a bowl of strawberries, while he watches Lego Batman for the millionth time this week" I smiled, Masen loves that movie, and would watch it all day long, if we let him. "Wanna join me? I'll wash your back" I wiggled my eyebrows and pulled the door open wider. "Only if you let me return the favor" Edward said with a wink. He pulled the red plaid sleep pants he was wearing, down his long legs, showing me that he hadn't bothered to put on underwear this morning.
Edward stepped into the shower, pulling me against him and letting the warm water fall over us. His lips met mine as we kissed blindly, our hands tracing up and down each others body's. "You're so pretty, baby" Edward whispered against my lips, making me shiver. "That's you, my love" I brought those addictive lips back once again, needed them more then I needed oxygen.
I felt his thick erection poking into my side making me unwillingly pull back. I didn't want to get him so worked up, when we both knew we didn't have a enough time to do anything about it. "I think I mentioned something about washing your back?" I asked. Leaning over I grabbed Edward's body wash and squirted a good amount on my hand instead of a wash cloth and lathered them together, before rubbing the suds over, Edward's chest.
He groaned at the feel of me touching him and roughly pulled me against him, rubbing his chest against mine and covering me in his manly smelling soap. "Now I'm gonna smell like a man all day" I said with a laugh, but Edward's green eyes darkened as he smirked at me. "No you're gonna smell like me, all day" he rasped. He washed away the suds from my neck and sucked on the skin he found. I knew that I was gonna have a hickey when he was finished, but it felt to good for me to stop him.
Somehow, we managed to make it out of the shower and got dressed as we both stole flirty glances and sweet kisses here and there. He just makes my heart so damn happy...I just don't understand how I got so blessed, to have such an amazingly perfect boyfriend and the cutest little boy in the world as my son. Gah!!
Edward was dress in dark blue jeans and a black V-neck T-shirt and looked so yummy. Since he was ready to go way before I was, he offered to get and get Masen ready for me and he will send him in here for me to do his hair. Edward stop trying to tame his hair a long time ago and he said he's just waiting for me to do the same with Masen. But I will probably forever try and tame, Masen's crazy curls, I at least try and get them away from his face.
Since it wasn't super hot yet, I wanted to fix my hair in a half up, half down look. Soon it was going to be much to warm for me to keep my hair down all the time, it's just much to hot and heavy for that nonsense. I split the top half of my hair and tied it up in a bun and kept it in place with Bobby-pins. I toweled dried my the lower half of my hair, slightly, that way the ends will be curly in a few hours.
Wanting to match with Edward and be that couple, so I put on a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and a black shirt that was tight at the bust and flowed down at the bottom. I liked it, and I couldn't wait to see if Edward noticed what I did. Smiling to myself, I pick up my watch and place it on my wrist, clipping it into place. I was putting my locket on when Masen opened the door and walked in with a big smile on his face. "Hi mama!" He skipped over to me and reached up for a hug. "Hello, my handsome boy. I love you this morning" I picked my baby boy up and cuddled him into my chest. Why does time fly so quickly, it seems like yesterday, he was my in tummy and now he's running around and has his own opinions on everything!
"I love you, Mama!" He gave me a wet kiss on my cheek, smiling big and showing off his pearly whites. "We gonna go ride roller coasters, mama! I soooooo excited" Edward came up and wrapped us both in his strong embrace, clearly feeling a bit left out. I gave him a smile and leaned my head against his chest. My heart felt so full it could burst at the seams.
"Are you gonna ride the biggest coaster there?" I asked Masen, my voice matching his excited tone of voice. "I'm gonna try mama! Will you ride with me?" I flinched. I wasn't planning on riding any roller coaster today, for starters I am terrified of those damn coasters and my tummy is a bit upset today and the last thing I needed was to get motion sickness and puke everywhere.
"I don't know, baby. Mommy is kinda scared of those big roller coaster, but I bet you that uncle Jazz and Eddie will totally be down to ride with you" Masen looked up at Edward and gave him the saddest puppy dog eyes ever! Even I wouldn't be able to turn that down. "I guess, but only because your the coolest kid in town" Masen squeezed Edward, squealing in both of our ears.
We met up with Alice and Jasper and baby Kimberly at local sub shop for lunch and all had our fill of delicious sandwiches and baked chips. Alice had mentioned that there wasn't any food there that wasn't deep fried or smothered in grease, and since Allie is breastfeeding and Edward along with Masen both get tummy aches if they have to much grease, so ultimately we just made the decision to eat before we got there, so that way we could snack on some sugary sweets, without feeling to badly about it.
After a shortish drive from the sub shop, we finally pulled up to Clallam County Fairgrounds. It was only twelve in the afternoon, but the place was PACKED! It took us nearly ten minutes just to find a parking space, that was so far from the entrance.
Edward got, Masen out of the car and set him on the hood of the Volvo, so I could put some sunscreen on him. Masen whimpered and whined the whole time, but it was necessary, because he would be whimpering and whining a hell of a lot more if he got a sunburn.
The high today was showing 60 degrees, the hottest day we've had in months here in Washington. It might be overcast, but you can still get burned when it's overcast, they say it can be even more harmful than a sunny day, because you don't realize how long you are in the sunlight, since it's not to hot outside.
There was a rather harsh wind at the moment, so I asked Edward if he would grab Masen's jumper, so he doesn't get to cold. I would rather us have it and him get to hot rather then us not have it and Masen he cold the whole time. Edward handed me the jacket and slipped it over my sons shoulders and zipped it up to his neck, then placed a kiss on the tip of his rosey nose.
Edward picked up Masen and sit him on his broad shoulders. Masen smiled widely, his chubby hands going right for Edwards copper locks and tugging on it. With one hand on Masen's knee, Edward reached for my hand and pulled me close to him. I leaned my head against his arm, but not before placing a kiss on his bicep. My Edward will forever be my cuddly bear, He never turns down a cuddle from me and I pray that he never does.
Alice and Jasper were waiting for us at the entrance. Alice was waving wildly and jumping up and down, while holding Jasper's hand. Thankfully Jasper was the one who was wearing little Kimmy in the baby wrap, or else Alice would be shaking her up right about now.
Masen released one hand full of Edward's hair to wave back at Alice, slightly bouncing around on Edwards shoulders, making Edward reluctantly let go of my hand to hold onto Masen's other knee. "You brought my Lee,Lee!" Masen squealed. Masen and Kimberly's relationship is really starting to bloom and grow closer as time pasted.
Masen has gotten quite attached to "His Lee,Lee" and wants to know what she's doing 24/7. I think he has missed not having her at our house anymore, now he only gets to see her once a week if we are lucky enough. Alice has missed Masen too. She said that it's like she's missing a kid, but she's not. I can understand that though. Alice has been there for Masen since I brought him home from the hospital at three days old, and hasn't left either of our sides ever since.
And Jasper came into play when Mase was only seven months old. Jazz and Masen were instantly best buddies and sometimes Jasper would come over to just hangout with Masen. He would be there helping Alice watch him when I returned from work or school and would stay and help with Masen still I took him away to nurse him and put him to bed. Masen has the best Auntie and uncle and it's definitely been different not having them around.
Alice rushed ahead and gave me a tight squeeze and I patted her back, chuckling as I did. "Alice we just saw you less then fifteen minutes ago" I said, pulling back from her hug. "I know, but am I not allowed to hug my bestest friend?" She quipped, raising her thin black eyebrows at me. "Well I guess you're not wrong" I say and return her tight hug again.
Alice grabbed my hand and we followed behind the boys, as they lead the way to booth where they sold the wristbands, to wear for the day. With this wristband you get into the park and most of the ride are free with the band, and the other few rides and games you have to buy tickets for. Luckily the ride that you needed 20 tickets for, was the biggest coaster in the park and Masen was to short to ride, so that save us some money. But I could see Edward and Jasper eyeing the ride as we walked around and I had a feeling that they might sneak a ride or two.
"That's a nice hickey your working today, Bella" Alice snickered and poked at the slightly sensitive bruise just under my ear. Damn Edward and his amazing mouth. "I'm not sure how I respond to that, Alice. Seeing as it was your big brother who put it there" Alice screamed Lalala, while she plugged her ears. "That's so gross Bella! I do not need the facts, thank you very much" I just rolled my eyes and bumped my shoulder to hers. Little pixie is who bought up this whole conversation.
After walking around for awhile trying to figure out where everything is, Masen finds the first he wanted to do, which just happened to be a mirror maze. Alice and Jasper hung around outside the building. Jasper didn't want to risk running into a wall while holding Kimberly and Alice just wasn't all that interested in it.
I took Masen's hand as we walked to the big spinning door. "Welcome, welcome. It's 5 tickets to enter" The man standing outside the house announced. He was holding a cane and looked like your typical carnival attendant. "We actually have the wristbands" Edward told him, I held out my hand to show him my band and Masen did the same. Once that was taken care of the man stepped aside to let us in.
"Alright buddy, you lead the way and me and Mama will follow behind you" Edward said. I released Masen's hand, but not before making him promise not to run off without me and Eddie.
Edward took the opportunity to grab my hand once again and pulled me close to his side, his long arm lazily draped over my side.
Masen was having a blast with the maze, he was running back and forth trying to find a way out, when BAM! He dead smacks right into a mirror, making the whole wall shake. I was expecting tears, but soon he burst into giggles and asking how he didn't shatter the mirror. Me and Edward couldn't help but laugh right along with him.
Masen ended up walking with his arms out in front of him, though the rest of the maze, keeping the face planting to a minimum. We ended up following a group of teenagers that knew the way out and found, Alice, Jasper and Kimmy all waking for us on the other side.
Jasper had taken, Kimmy out of the baby sling and was holding her in front of him, making her "talk" and congratulating us for making it out alive. I quickly took the opportunity and scooped my little niece into my arms and cuddled her close, raining a dozen kisses onto her sweet face. "I'm so happy you are here with us, Kimmy bear. You are just the sweetest little baby ever!"
Masen scoffed at my words and rolled his eyes at me and Kimberly. Edward notice this of course and picked up Masen, kissing his face just like I was doing to, Kimberly and making Masen laugh. Edward always being the best daddy, without even trying.
Alice and Jasper both wanted to ride this first roller coaster and asked if I would watch Kimberly and they would gladly take Masen to ride. I quickly agreed, having no want to ride the scary roller coaster, and was perfectly happy to stay here and soak in all these sweet baby cuddles.
Sooner than later, the sun started to set on this wonderful day, so we decided to ahead and call it a night. We rode everything in the park at least twice, and just as I thought, Jasper and Edward did in fact fake a bathroom break to go and ride the huge roller coaster. Since Masen couldn't ride with them, they weren't going to rub it in his face that they get to ride and Masen doesn't.
Masen was so happy with all the other rides and games, that he didn't even care that he couldn't ride that specific coaster. It was all around a wonderfully fun day. We all ate way to many sweets and treats, rode so many ride till our heads were spinning and laughed till our belly's hurt, so I would say today was a win.
We hugged and gave our goodbye kisses to Alice, Kimmy and Jasper and made our long walk back to the car. Edward offered to go get the car and come pick us back up at the entrance, but I didn't mind the walk and I definitely didn't want Edward to go off by himself and me stay here, we're both happier together.
Masen asked once again to ride on Edward's shoulders on the way to the Volvo, stating that his feet felt like they were gonna break in two. Edward leaned down and let Masen climb up his back. I ended up having to help some, but Masen wiggled his way up and leaned down, snuggling his face in Edwards soft hair. "Today was such a good day" I whispered to Edward, giving his hand a squeeze.
"it truly was, Bella. It was nice to see my baby sister so happy and back to her normal self. Seeing her so sad about Kimmy being in the NICU was hard" I nodded my head in agreement. Alice was just over herself when Kimmy was in the hospital. She couldn't eat or sleep, all she could do when she was away from Kimberly was cry about how much she missed her baby and that it was like she was walking around with a missing piece.
We are all so happy for Kimmy's safe arrival home and now we have a beautiful happy baby, to love up on. "Yeah, I couldn't imagine being separated from your child, that's my worst nightmare" My eyes found Masen, who was half asleep by now. He was my whole world and to think of a world where he wouldn't be with me, takes my breath away. But he's here with me and so is Edward. Today was just the beginning of all the wonderful days and memories we will have together as a family.
Sorry for the long wait, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! It was more of a filler chapter for what's to come! ;)
Till next time~Jade
