Chapter 31

Taken From Real Life


Edward


There she stood. Small, petite, delicate and looking at me with her big eyes. She was wearing a short pink nightgown. I saw her body contours and the beautiful curve of her breasts.

And her look.

Was she afraid of me? Could that be? God, I didn't want to argue with her, much less have her afraid of me. My own wife ... afraid of me? Please don't. But I couldn't leave it like that, we had to talk about it.

James' mind ran riot.

He was afraid for her and for my reaction.

She looked at me and backed away a little.

So she was afraid - that made me sad.

"Isabella, I ..."

Hmm ... what should I tell her?

She stood still and looked at me expectantly.

Her look changed. She had decided to fight, I saw it. That was my Bella. I would have loved to smile at her. When it came down to it, she rose above herself.

"Edward, I ..." she breathed.

And she too didn't seem to know where to begin.

Her eyes filled with tears, which she tried to suppress.

Heavens, I didn't want that! She had suffered the whole damn day just like me, guaranteed.

I quickly went to her and just wrapped her in my arms.

She was astonished by this, but visibly relieved. Breathing a sigh of relief, she returned my embrace and pressed her face against my chest. I gently stroked her back and she me.

So we stood there for some time, holding each other in silence.

After that I pushed her a little away from me and gently took her face in my hands.

She looked at me.

"Please, never be afraid of me, Isabella," I whispered.

She nodded.

"I would never hurt you, you hear, never!"

"I know," she said softly.

"But that didn't look like it just now. I never again want you to back away when you see me," I said sadly.

"I'm sorry," she breathed, a thick tear running down her face.

I kissed her away and pressed her against me again.

"I'm sorry, too," I whispered.

James breathed a sigh of relief.

"We will go to your father's wedding. I will accompany you," I said.

"Thank you," she whispered. "But if you'd rather I stay here, we'll cancel," she added.

James smirked in thought.

That's not possible. So they both make each other's day a living hell, resolve to settle it in the evening, and as soon as they see each other, they both give in. I don't believe it. What a love!

I smirked at his thoughts.

He was right. We made strange bedfellows.

"We'll go there, little one. I didn't want to miss my father's wedding either. So I can understand your wish," I said.

"I'm sorry I didn't talk to you on the phone," she whispered.

"I'm sorry I snapped at you," I whispered.

"I'm sorry I called you a control freak," she said.

"Yes, that hurt me," I said.

"Is everything settled now?" she asked.

"Yes," I said.

"Thank heaven," she sighed, and then we both had to laugh.

"I love you," I said.

"So do I you," she said.

"Were you going to bed already?", I asked.

"Yeah, I'm a little tired," she said.

'She was tired already at noon and kept herself awake with coffee. Nanny was here and told her to sleep more ...,' added James.

I picked her up and carried her to her bed.

"I'll just get undressed and then I'll come to you, okay?", I asked.

She nodded.

I briskly jumped into the shower and put on fresh underwear and a T-shirt.

When I came to her, she was already asleep. Carefully I snuggled up to her.

She was like in a coma, totally gone and no longer noticed anything. Her heart beat calmly and evenly, her breathing was just as calm.

I looked at them.

She was so beautiful. This smooth skin, long eyelashes and rosy cheeks.


In the middle of the night she became more restless and began to whimper.

"No, please don't, please, please, don't ..." she whispered, tossing and turning.

I pulled her into my arm.

"Alec, go away, I hate you," she suddenly screamed, lashing out.

I held her tightly.

"Bella! Wake up, it's just a dream!"

Startled, she opened her eyes. Her pulse was racing and her heart was beating fast.

"It's all right, darling. I'm here. You were dreaming."

She looked at me, took a breath and relaxed. Slowly she let herself slide into my arms and visibly tried to calm down.

"Will you tell me what you dreamed, please?", I asked.

She was silent.

"Dear, please tell me," I demanded.

"Alec attacked me with a knife," she whispered, trembling slightly.

I held her tightly.

"Was it the same dream as last time?", I asked.

"Yes, almost identical. I was wearing different clothes and it was in a different place. But the situation itself was the same and also what he said," she whispered.

"What did he say?", I asked.

"I'll kill you and your bastard," she whispered and began to cry.

James brought a glass of water; he had no idea what else to do.

He felt as helpless as I did.

She took a sip and breathed, "Thank you."

I hummed her song to get her to calm down, but it took a long time for her to fall back asleep.

'I'm worried, Sir, I wonder if that's a clue,' James thought.

"The thought crossed my mind too," I whispered to him.

'We have to keep an eye on her, always. She must not take a step alone,' he thought.

"Yes, you're right. That's the way it has to be. I'm sure Aro and Alec are planning something. At the latest when they find out about the pregnancy," I said quietly.

'We have to tell the king. This fatigue is also extreme. Maybe she'll feel better if she's already drinking blood?' he pondered.

"Yes, I will talk to her about it again. Did she tell Nanny?", I asked.

'Nanny felt it and asked her, whereupon she admitted it. Besides, the Princess already has a bump on her belly - Nanny noticed - and also advised her to tell the king soon, so that he has blood there when the time comes.'

"Thank you, James," I said.

I would talk to Bella about it again as soon as possible. I would also prefer that at least my father knew soon. So it was really true. I still could hardly believe it. I was going to be a father. What a feeling of elation. I was happy. And I was afraid - for both of them.

Tenderly, I stroked a stray curl from her face and kissed her gently. Carefully, I slid my hand under the covers and placed it over her nightgown on Bella's stomach.

In fact, a little bump. Unbelievable.

I left my hand there and rejoiced.

I imagined myself dashing across the meadow with a little boy or twirling a little girl in circles. Edward - Daddy. Hmm ... funny and beautiful.

She woke up again at five o'clock because she had to go to the bathroom and then snuggled up to me again.

"Can I lie on top of you?" she whispered.

"Why not?", I asked back.

She lay down on my chest and her head on my shoulder.

"Hmm..." she sighed.

I laughed.

"And that's comfortable?", I asked.

"No, but nice," she said with a smile.

I stroked her back.

"Hmm...," she sighed with pleasure.

My little savourer.

"Bella, I'd like to tell my dad so he has blood there if you need it," I said.

"Okay," she said.

"Okay?", I asked.

"Yes, we'll tell him. Hmm ... I'll tell him. Is he in the practice tomorrow?" she asked.

"Of course," I said.

"Well, then I'll go to office hours," she said with a smile.

"Okay," I said, "but then call me first and I'll come right along."

"That's nice. May I see your office then?" she asked.

"Logical," I said.

"I want you now," she then said.

"What?", I asked irritated.

She laughed, sat up, pulled her nightgown up to her stomach and rubbed her hot middle over my private parts.

Wow... that's what she wanted. I wouldn't say no to that.

I stroked her thighs and then let one hand slide onto her panties, rubbing over them and pressing firmly on her middle.

"Oh ..." she moaned.

So I slipped my fingers into her panties and rubbed them hard, squeezing her clit and she moaned loudly. My penis was already stiff.

She was so hot. She quickly took off her nightgown, threw it next to the bed and her beautiful breasts smiled at me.

I tore the panties and she gave me an indignant look.

Then she lifted her bottom, pushed my hand away and took my penis. She guided it to her vagina and then slowly let it slide inside her while she sank down on me.

"Ohhh ..." she moaned with pleasure as she did so, and I moaned too.

Then she began to move on me, irregularly, firmly, demanding and with her mouth slightly open. She had her eyes closed and concentrated on her feeling. It looked very erotic. Her long hair played around her shoulders and breasts.

I put my hands on her breasts and tenderly played with her nipples, which pointed pointed and firmly in my direction.

She bent over a bit and now found a steady rhythm. I joined in and she cried out enthusiastically. Her hands rested on my chest. She was looking for support because she was approaching climax. I lifted her ass and quickened, thrusting harder into her.

"Yes," she moaned, and I sensed she was about to come.

"Come for me, Isabella," I whispered, and she came.

Loud and fierce.

I also let myself go.

It was so erotic how she contracted around me and moaned.

Exhausted, she sank back onto my chest.

I held her and still twitched inside her.

"That was intense," she breathed enthusiastically.

"Yes, nice and fierce," I said, stroking her backside.

She slid next to me and was asleep again within seconds.

Unbelievable.

I got up at 7:00 with a heavy heart, got ready and went to work.

"James, bring her to me later, after she's slept it off," I said.

"Very well, Your Highness," he said.


Around 10:00 a.m., while I was engrossed in files, my secretary said through the intercom, "Your wife is here, Mr. Volturi!"

"Oh ... show her in right away, please, Miss Denali," I said, and shortly after she came in - with James.

Miss Denali followed her and looked at Isabella appraisingly from top to bottom.

"Good morning, my love. Slept in?", I asked, walking up to Isabella and greeting her.

She wore a light blue silk costume, light blue pumps and looked like a movie star. Her hair was pinned up, but individual strands hung out curly.

"Yes, good morning," she replied and I pulled her into my arms to kiss her.

That way, my annoying secretary might finally realize that she wouldn't stand a chance with me.

Isabella returned my kiss and put her hands on my nape.

Hmm ... that felt good.

After our kiss, I said, "You can go, Miss Denali," and she disappeared, not without giving me a venomous look.

Oh ... the woman was so primitively stupid. If she wasn't so good professionally and so reliable, I would have thrown her out long ago.

"So this is your office," said the most beautiful wife of all, looking around.

She walked around my desk. Then she discovered the picture.

"That's me," she said in amazement.

"I don't think I'd get another woman's photo framed and put it here," I said with a smile.

She looked at me and smiled.

"It's pretty dark in here," she then noted.

"That's right, I never noticed before," I noted.

The side door opened and my young colleague came in - with files in his hand.

"Mr. Volturi, I ..." he said, looking toward the desk.

But he didn't see me, he saw Isabella first.

"Oh, I'm sorry," he then said, looking to me. "I didn't know you had visitors, Sir, I'm sorry. I thought we didn't have any clients here today," he rambled, looking at my wife. Wow ... what a hot woman. I wonder if he'll let me take the case.

He drooled in thought and I groaned inwardly.

"Garrett, may I introduce you to my wife? Isabella, this is Garrett. I hired him so that he could take work off my hands."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Volturi," Garrett said, walking closer to her and extending his hand.

"Good afternoon, Garrett, it's nice to see you too," my wife said, quickly letting go of his hand and coming over to me. "Shall we go?" she then asked.

"Yeah," I said, putting my arm around her, "Garrett, I'm going to go over to my dad's practice with my wife for a minute."

"Okay, Sir," Garrett said, thinking, I'd go anywhere with her.

Deep breath, Edward, I thought, and led Isabella out.

In the foyer, Miss Denali sat behind the counter and immediately looked up.

"Miss Denali, we're briefly across the hall at my father's," I said.

"Yes, Sir, " she said well-behaved and thought: How he holds her in his arms and looks at her. How lucky she is!

We left the office, walked across the hallway of the office complex, and then through the next door.

Carlisle Volturi, MD, was written on the door.

Daddy's medical assistant number one was standing at the counter, typing something into the computer. She looked up briefly, recognized me, and then immediately turned to me.

"Oh ... Mr. Volturi," she warbled.

"My wife wants an appointment with my father," I said.

"I'll have to see when something is free," she actually said and I had to laugh.

"Miss, please tell him that his daughter-in-law is here, and you'll see that he'll call her in immediately. You're not seriously going to find an appointment for her right now?" I asked.

She turned bright red.

"Of course, Mr. Volturi, just a moment please!" she said.

Then she pressed the intercom.

"Yes?" asked Dad.

"Sir, your daughter-in-law is here to see you," she said.

"What daughter-in-law?" asked Dad.

"Isabella," I said with a smile.

"Isabella Volturi," the young lady repeated.

"Oh... let her come in at once," Dad said.

"I know the way," I said, taking Isabella by the hand.

James followed us.

We went in Dad's room and the physician's assistant followed us as well.

"Good morning, you two pretties," Dad said, coming out from behind his desk, shaking my hand, and gently hugging Isabella.

"Good morning, Dad," Isabella said, and I "Hi, Daddy."

"Did something happen?" he then asked with concern, looking at us in turn.

"You could say that," Isabella smiled at him.

He eyed her and considered.

She is pregnant!, he then shouted in his mind.

"No, a baby?" he asked.

Isabella nodded.

"Yeah ..." exclaimed Dad, hugging us both. "Congratulations, that was fast!"

He held Isabella by the upper arms and looked at her.

Then he looked at the physician's assistant and said, "You can go, and I don't want to be disturbed!"

She left the room in a hurry.

Such a fuss over a pregnancy, she thought to herself.

"Since when do you know?" he then asked gently.

"Hmm ... from the beginning. It happened on the last night of vacation," Isabella said.

"What, that was just now? You felt that?" he asked, astonished.

"Yes, Dad, she said after sex that I had just made a baby. She would feel us connecting inside her right now," I explained.

"Edward!" whispered Bella indignantly.

"It's not embarrassing, darling, it's amazing," I said with a smile.

"And you're sure?" he asked Bella.

"Of course," she said, slightly offended.

"Dad, her breasts are swollen, her belly is already bulging, she's tired all the time and Nanny felt it right away yesterday and confirmed it," I said.

"You're a phenomenon, Isabella," Dad said.

She smiled.

"No, just pregnant."

He also smiled.

"I am glad. Isabella, I need to draw blood to know once your values, once examine urine and if I may, do an ultrasound," he said quite doctor.

She nodded.

Dad walked over to the desk and pressed the intercom.

"Anything for a blood draw and a urine cup, please."

Dad offered us a seat.

The physician's assistant brought a tray with syringe, needles and empty ampoules as well as the cup shortly after.

"Come with me, please. I'll show you the bathroom," she said to Bella.

Bella rose and followed her. James, of course, went along.

The doctor's assistant eyed him with irritation.

"He's my bodyguard and will be waiting outside the restroom door, miss. He never leaves me alone."

"I see," she said, thinking: What's so special about that one that she's so guarded?

When they were gone, Dad looked at me.

"I'm scared for both of them, Dad," I said.

"I can feel that. She's going to make it, Edward. I'll get everything ready. She'll be fine. I'm sure she will. Nanny is also there and will take care of her. This tiredness is already blood deficiency. We will give her something right away and see how she reacts," he said.

"Yeah, I hope she likes it," I sighed.

"At the wedding, she drank it without batting an eye," he said.

"Yes, but just a nip," I said.

"We'll see. Your mother and Rose drank it willingly," he said.

"Dad, something else. She's dreamed twice in a row now that Alec is threatening her - with a knife. He said both times that he was going to kill her and that bastard. She was screaming in her sleep in terror, and I could barely get her to calm down."

"Hmm ... that's not good. She feels something like that. Alec and Aro are up to something. Oh God, don't leave her alone for a moment!" he added.

"Yes, Dad. Demetri is standing outside. I'm still scared. Dad, if something happens to her, I'll take my life too. I can't be without her anymore."

He looked at me.

"I know, my son, I feel it. She loves you as well. You are one."

At that moment, Bella came back with James, and right after that, the physician's assistant with a test strip.

"The urine is okay, doc. She could drink a little more," she said and left the room.

Dad looked at the strip.

"Would you mind lying down on the examination couch, please?" he asked Bella gently, and she nodded. "Oh ... you'll have to take off that blouse. I need to get to your arm and then your belly too," he said and she nodded.

I rose and went with her to the examination couch. She undressed the blouse and I took it from her. She also undressed the skirt and then she stood there in light blue lingerie. I also took off her skirt and enjoyed her beautiful sight.

"Edward!" she said reprovingly.

I laughed and so did Dad.

Bella laid down and I passed the clothes to James, who stayed discreetly in the background.

Dad drew blood first.

'Don't you mind?' he asked me in his mind.

"No, Dad, I could never hurt her. I don't mind at all," I said and Bella looked at me.

I smiled at her and she smiled at me.

Full of love was her look.

On the other side of the examination couch was a stool. I sat down on it and took her hand tenderly in mine.

Dad was busy drawing blood.

"There's already a baby bump," Bella said, looking down at her belly.

"I know, I already had my hand on it tonight while you were sleeping," I said and she smiled.

"That's nice," she said.

Dad stuck a Band-Aid on her arm, put the tray away on his desk, and then rejoined us.

"I need to put contact gel on your belly for the ultrasound, it's going to be a little cold," he said apologetically, spreading a translucent mass on the bump of her belly.

Then he switched on the device and let the transducer glide over Isabella's abdomen.

We all stared intently at the screen.

Strange, thought Dad.

I looked at him worriedly.

What was not okay?

Bladder, kidneys, liver, all there. But that's not possible, he wondered.

"Dad, what's wrong?", I asked.

"Hmm ... I've never experienced anything like this before."

He eyed my wife, who looked at him anxiously.

"Dad, talk to us, you're scaring her," I said reproachfully.

"Oh ... sorry," he said, "I was so irritated. Bella, I can see everything but the baby. You have a great belly, everything is where it should be, but I can't see inside the womb. It's ... hmm ... like it's impermeable to the device. I've never experienced anything like this," he explained.

Bella looked at him anxiously.

"And what does that mean?" she asked.

I stroked her arm reassuringly.

"Nothing, little one. I think your kid is fine, you just won't let me in. I guess it's your shield. You don't let anything get to your kid!" he said with a smile.

"But I'm not doing anything," she said, irritated.

"Yes you are, you're protecting your baby because you love him," Dad said with a smile.

He put the device away and cleaned Isabella's belly.

"I'll try listening to it, though," he said, putting his stethoscope to his ears.

He listened to her belly.

"Heart sounds are there," he said with a smile, and Isabella breathed a sigh of relief.

Somehow they are there twice, Dad mused.

Now I looked at him in irritation.

Maybe the stethoscope has a wobble, Dad thought, taking it off and wiggling the listening part on his ear. Strange, he thought.

I decided to ignore him.

Sometimes he really had a screw loose.

"You can get dressed," he said to Bella, and James brought her clothes.

I helped her and then we sat back down with Dad.

"So ... Bella, the pregnancy will be shorter than a normal one, I'm sure Edward has already told you that," he began.

"How much faster?" she asked.

"The child will be born in November already. It will be a completely normal-looking baby. Its heartbeat is only a little faster than a human's, it will be healthier, rarely sick and live forever if one don't kill it. Half-vampires are intelligent and grow quickly. The child will be fully grown at about twenty years of age. So childhood proceeds at human speed, but then there is a halt in development. But only in the physical, mentally, of course, it continues to develop."

Bella nodded.

"To pregnancy. You need to eat well, you're too thin anyway. The baby needs nourishment," Dad continued, now looking at James.

The nodded.

"Also, you should get enough sleep. You will be exhausted faster than usual. A normal pregnancy is already exhausting for a woman. Since it's faster for half-beings, it's even more exhausting. And your baby needs blood – I fear, already. Edward said that you are tired and when you sleep you are like in coma. You need blood. Would you try it now?"

Bella nodded hesitantly and I took her hand in mine.

"All right, I'll get you something," Dad said.

He disappeared briefly into his lab next door and then came back, carrying an opaque cup with a straw sticking out of it. He pressed the cup into Bella's hand, then squatted in front of her and looked at her expectantly.

Bella took the straw between her lips and sucked. Without making a face, she drank the cup empty and gave it back to Dad.

"Was that human blood?" she asked quietly.

Dad nodded.

"Yes, but I didn't take it from anyone by force, dear. I will use donor blood for you. Animal blood is not enough for the baby."

"Okay," she said softly.

"Isabella, please don't worry about that. You are pregnant and the baby and you ... you need the blood. It's not your fault and it's your right to make sure you both do well. So it's just as justified as if you were sick," Dad said firmly.

"How often do I have to drink this?" she asked.

"Usually one cup a day is enough," Dad said.

"Are you going to bring it to me then, or how are we going to do this?" she asked.

"I'll make sure there's always a supply of it in your room. We'll put a small refrigerator for it, okay?" asked Dad and we both agreed.

'My favorite thing would be for Demetri to come and pick it up fresh here every day, in the evening ... and put it in the fridge. Then I'm sure it will arrive as it should,' Dad then thought for me and I nodded.

"Good, my sweet," Dad said lovingly, gently pulling Bella into his arms. "You make me very happy with this, too. I'm happy to become a grandfather, thank you!"

He kissed her on the forehead and she smiled at him.

"James, take care of her!" he then added and escorted us out.

"Come back to my office for a minute. I need to have you to myself for a moment," I said.

She smiled and followed me.

Miss Denali looked up and watched us.

Her brain was working at full speed, unfortunately not about the work she was supposed to do.

"I don't want to be disturbed!", I said and pulled my wife into my office.

James closed the door behind us and stopped in front of it.

I pulled Isabella into my arms.

"Are you really all right, love?", I asked.

"Yes, Edward, don't worry, everything is fine. I am so happy," she whispered.

I pushed her a little away from me and looked at her.

"Me too, Isabella. Besides, I'm looking forward to the baby. We need to extend," I said with a smile.

"You think? I thought it was allowed to sleep with us? I don't think I have the strength to put it anywhere by itself," she said.

"But it needs space for its stuff and when it gets bigger maybe a bed, hmm ...?", I asked.

She nodded.

"It's possible, but very close to us it has to be. I don't want to be a distant mother like mine was for me. I love it already," she whispered tenderly.

"I love you both," I said. "Maybe we can make an opening. There are empty rooms next to ours, so we can just build on," I suggested.

"That sounds brilliant," she said. "Will you kiss me?" she asked softly, her big brown eyes sinking into my gaze.

"Yes," I breathed and slowly I approached her beautiful face.

She closed her eyes and gently I pressed my lips to hers.

Immediately she opened her mouth slightly and her small hot tongue came towards me. I pulled her hips closer to me and she buried her hands in my hair. Tenderly our tongues played with each other and she moaned into our kiss.

I had to smile.

"I better go, I'm so in lust with you," she whispered, pressing her abdomen against mine.

"Bella," I moaned, my erection growing.

Our kiss became fierce and demanding.

If that ever works out, James thought, and he was right.

I gently pushed my hot wife away from me and took a deep breath.

"Yeah, you better go, you seductive person. We'll make up for it tonight," I said and she laughed at me.

"Okay, Mr. Volturi, I won't forget!" she said. "Oh, one more thing. When are we going to tell your mom, your brothers and Rose?" she asked.

"Whenever you want, darling," I said, and pressed her quickly once more to me.

She moaned and pushed me away.

"Let go of me now. I'm all wet already. You are terrible!" she said.

I laughed.

"We're both equally bad, I'd say."

"Right," she said, looking down the front of my pants.

"Mrs. Volturi," I said threateningly, and she laughed.

"I'm going to go tell your mom now. We'll visit your siblings together, okay?" she asked.

"Okay, now get out of here. I can't work with you around!" I said, and James opened the door with a smirk to show her out.

"See you later, Mr. Volturi and I won't forget your promise," she whispered erotically on her way out and her words twitched all the way to my abdomen.

I was already looking forward to the evening.

I dropped into the chair behind my desk and looked at her picture in front of me.

She was a gift. My gift and I would guard it until our end. I could not put my feelings for her into words. It was simply deeper and more intimate than could be verbalized. My world revolved only around her and also around our baby.

I pressed my intercom.

"Mr. Volturi," Miss Denali purred.

"Connect me to the flower store."

Shortly thereafter, the salesman I knew at the store got in touch.

"Mr. Volturi, what can I do for you today?" he asked.

"Please send a dozen red baccarat roses to my wife," I said.

"Would you like to write something on the little card?" he asked.

"Yes, please write on it, 'I'm looking forward to tonight!' - that's enough!", I said.

"Okay, sir, we'll deliver in thirty minutes and deduct from your account?" he asked.

"Exactly, great," I said. "Miss Denali?" I said into the intercom.

"Sir?"

"Please get a box of chocolates across the street, preferably the most expensive ones you can find," I said.

"Oh ... then your wife will gain weight!" she said cheekily.

"I hope so, Miss Denali. Because unlike you, she can afford it!"

I switched off the intercom.

Silly cow, I thought, grinning as I imagined her outraged face.

Fifteen minutes later, with a withering look, she brought me the chocolate. I also had it brought to Isabella by messenger.

I hoped it would sweeten her afternoon a bit.

Sighing, I turned to my work and tried to push my thoughts away.


I had to catch up on some work that had been left behind and so it was 7:00 p.m. before I could finally leave. Everything else had time until tomorrow.

I dashed home and was already listening in the corridor, but heard nothing.

Quietly, I immediately went into Bella's room and then had to grin.

She was lying on the bed in black, clearly sexy lingerie and had fallen asleep.

On the table were the roses in a vase and the chocolate she had actually opened and tasted.

James greeted me with a smile.

"She was very happy, my Prince. Then around 6:00 p.m. she styled herself and fell asleep. She was pretty tired again," he said with a smile.

I took a shower and then just crawled to her naked.

Hmm ... I would just excite her. I had to feel her now. All day I had been looking forward to it and I would get her awake already.

So I breathed soft kisses on her shoulders. Then I let my lips wander into her décolleté and she turned onto her back and sighed comfortably.

That was fast.

I pushed her hot bra under the breasts and gently sucked the nipples.

She moaned excitedly and put her hands on my head, stroking through my hair.

Her eyes remained closed and she enjoyed my touch - but was clearly awake.

With a flourish, I turned her onto her stomach.

At the first moment she was startled and cried out briefly.

"It's all good, trust me," I said, stroking her back, unclasping her bra and beginning to spread gentle kisses down her spine.

I kissed very slowly from the neck down to the buttocks and she sighed happily.

Carefully I pushed the panties away and down from her legs. Then I kissed my way up her legs, all the way back to her sweet tight butt.

I firmly caressed her buttocks and said, "Now get on your knees."

She did and I immediately licked over her vagina to the anus. Gently I pushed her buttocks and labia apart with my fingers and kissed her in between, licking her.

She tasted so damn good and was so wet and excited that everything tingled me.

I let my tongue sink into her anus and she cried out. Now I put two fingers into her vagina, while continuing to suck her ass and penetrated her with my tongue.

"Oh God, what are you doing," she whimpered excitedly.

"I love you, fiercely, Isabella. Let me spoil you," I said and continued my game.

She was very relaxed and let me do what I wanted, so she liked it.

Carefully I now pushed a finger into her anus and she cried out again excitedly. Slowly I moved the finger and with the other hand I again let two fingers sink into her vagina and moved them in the same rhythm.

She whimpered.

"Is that good?", I asked, hearing myself that the excitement was over my voice.

"Yes, please don't stop," she whispered, whimpering again.

"I wasn't going to, my sweet," I said.

I let both hands speed up and she moaned.

Then I pulled my hand out of her vagina, straightened up and thrust my penis into her.

"God," she cried out as I so suddenly stretched her and filled her completely.

With my free hand I pulled her hips closer to me and found a fast violent rhythm. With the index finger of the other hand I stayed in her anus and moved it further quickly up and down.

I sensed that she was about to come and sped up a bit more.

"Come for me, let it out," I whispered excitedly and then she came, violently.

She cried out several times. I did not let up until she collapsed under me.

"What are you doing to me," she whined and I gently kissed her back.

Carefully I pulled my finger and my penis out of her.

I was still aroused and had a hard-on, but gave her a break.

Gently I stroked her back.

"You are so beautiful," I whispered. "You are so tender and soft - so beautiful - so sexy - so perfect - I love you, Bella, so much ..."

Her heartbeat and breathing calmed down a bit.

"Are you okay?", I asked.

"Yes," she said.

"Do you want to sleep?", I asked.

"What do you want?" she asked.

"Do you really want to know?", I asked back.

"Yes," she said.

"More sex," I said.

"Then take it," she urged me.

"Really?", I asked.

"Yes," she said.

I turned her towards me and sat her up, then I slid out of bed and stood in front of it. Then I pulled Bella up to the edge of the bed and spread her legs.

Her eyes were dark and shining with excitement. She looked at me and smiled happily.

"Sure?", I asked.

"Yep ..." she said.

I clasped my hard erection and rubbed the tip up and down her vagina.

"Oh ..." she moaned.

Then I thrust into her and her gaze veiled with excitement. With now glazed eyes she looked at me.

I embraced her buttocks, pushed them close to me and then I found a fast rhythm.

Without breaking eye contact, she let me and it was so erotic the way she looked at me, opening her mouth slightly to breathe and moan.

She put her hands on my shoulders.

Her moans were killing me, it was so erotic. I felt I was going to come soon, but she wasn't yet. So I slowed down a bit, moved one hand between us and squeezed and circled her clit.

"Edward," she whispered excited and in love, and I came.

Deeply I poured myself into her and she sighed contentedly.

But she hadn't come, so I pulled out of her, slid deeper and sucked firmly on her clit and let two fingers slide into her again. Shortly after, I had her ready and felt her inner walls contract with arousal. She whimpered and twitched.

Then she suddenly pushed my hands away and laughed.

"Oh God, stop, I can't take it anymore!"

"That's good," I laughed and gently pushed her back onto the bed.

I slid next to her and we kissed intimately.

"Edward, I love you so much," she said, stroking my face.

"Sono pazzo di te!", I replied. (I am crazy about you!)

She kissed me tenderly and pressed herself against me.

Shortly after, she fell asleep, exhausted.

I looked at her and stroked her and then I put a hand on our baby again.

In the middle of the night she startled up again because she had the Alec dream. James brought her something to drink and I could barely get her to calm down, she was so upset.

I felt so helpless because there was nothing I could do.


The next evening we had my brothers and sisters-in-law over.

They all came at the same time.

"I already know, I already know," Alice whooped as soon as she walked in, and Bella rolled her eyes in annoyance.

Jasper laughed and hugged my wife.

"I'm sorry, Bella, you know how she is. But she didn't tell me anything," he said.

"It's okay, Jasper, don't worry about it. I think your wife is annoying but cute," Bella said and Alice freaked out.

"Annoying, but cute? That's some nerve..." she nagged, but Bella just laughed and pulled Alice over to the sofa and next to her.

"So, what did you want to tell us?" asked Emmett, dropping into an armchair.

"We're having a baby," Bella said with a smile.

"No!" exclaimed Rose in surprise.

"Yes, I do!" exclaimed Bella happily.

Rose jumped up and hugged Bella tenderly.

"Oh ... how happy I am. I know this is what you've wanted, Bella, and you're so sweet to Grace. You'll be a wonderful mother and Grace will have company. Is that nice ..."

Bella laughed and asked: "Are you going to take a breath again sometime, Rose?"

Rose laughed.

"Sorry, I was just so happy!"

Bella laughed along and hugged Rose tightly once again.

After that Rose hugged me.

"Bella has brought you out of your shell, Edward. I hope the baby makes you happy for good then," she said, eyeing me. "Are you happy?" she then asked.

"Yes, Rose, very much. I never thought I would ever get to experience this. But I'm also worried," I added more quietly.

She nodded in understanding.

"She'll be fine. I'll help her as much as I can," Rose said.

"I know, thank you," I said, pulling her against me once.

She sincerely loved my wife and that pleased me very much.

Emmett twirled Bella around tumultuously.

"There you little person make my brother completely happy, I'm glad!" he shouted and Bella slapped his shoulders laughing.

"Put me down, you maniac. You're crushing us!"

He gently set it down again.

"If you need anything, you come to me, you know that, hmm ...?" he then said seriously.

"Yes, Emmett, thank you," said Bella, still gasping for air.

Afterwards, Emmett came up to me and gave me a hug.

Silent. That was so unusual.

'I'm happy for you, brother dear. Please take care of her. You can't overweight her with gold.'

"Thanks, Em, I know. I lie next to her every night and can't believe my luck."

'I believe that,' he thought.

Then he pulled Rose onto his lap and slumped back in the chair with her. Rose snuggled up to him and he put his huge arms around the small delicate person.

Jasper also hugged Bella, but with him it went more quietly and seriously. As expected.

"And don't overextend yourself, Bella. Take it easy. Your studies are secondary right now, okay?"

"I know, but I'm fine. I'll be fine, don't worry," Bella said.

Alice hopped around the two of them and also hugged my wife again.

"Alice, if you don't calm down, I think I'll go shopping by myself," Bella said.

"Shopping?"

Alice stood still.

"I was actually going to ask you and Rose to join me next week. I already can't get my pants to close ..."

"Oh yeah, I'd love to. We could go somewhere else sometime, not Olympia. I know a maternity store that's in ..."

Oh God, my poor wife.

Jasper came to me laughing and hugged me too.

"Congratulations, Edward. Bella looks so happy. But she is so small and petite, so thin and delicate. I'm worried after all. She is even more petite than Rose..." he whispered worriedly.

I nodded.

"I'm scared, too, Jasper. Dad and Nanny are quite optimistic, though."

"We will have to wait and see," he said quietly.

"We have no other choice," I said.

We watched Alice, who was still talking at my wife.

At some point Jasper went to her and pulled her against his chest. Then he dropped down on the sofa with her and Alice irritably interrupted her torrent of words, which made us all laugh.

"What did Mom say about that?" asked Emmett.

"It's better if Bella tells you that. She told her alone. With Dad, we were together. He did the initial tests. Everything is okay and he is very happy," I said.

"Mom, too," Bella said. "She didn't say anything at first and hugged me tight. I think she would have cried if she could have," Bella said.

"We considered making an opening to the next room so that we would have space for the children's things," I was about to explain when Alice interrupted me.

"Oh yes, please let me plan and decorate. I would so love to decorate a nursery someday," she babbled off.

Bella looked skeptical.

"Not?" Alice asked her disappointedly.

"Yes, you may, but you won't decide or buy anything without checking with me or Edward first, okay? Because I don't want a pink-flower-room!" said Isabella and Alice agreed.

"Then we'd have that settled, too," Emmett smirked.

"What do you want to name the child?" asked Rose curiously.

"We haven't talked about that yet," I said, and Bella smiled at me. "Do you have an idea yet?", I asked her.

"Yes, but I'll tell you those in private," she said with a smile.

"Okay," I said and was curious.

We chatted for a long time and Bella fell tired into bed when the visit left.

"Will you tell me your name idea?", I asked, snuggling up to her.

"For a girl, I think Hope would be nice," she said.

"I like that, too," I noted.

"For a boy, I don't have the hard-hitting idea yet," she said.

"We'll think of something," I said.

"Yes, it must," she smiled and kissed me once tenderly.

"Hmm ... what was that for?", I asked.

"Because I love you so much and I'm so happy," she said. "So Hope is okay?" she then asked.

"Yes, definitely," I said.

"I'm totally happy about that. Somehow I think the name is really fitting for our child," she said and stroked her belly.

I slid under the covers and kissed the belly.

"Then that's what you shall be called, little Hope," I said to the beautiful belly.

Bella laughed.

"Don't, don't do that. If it's a boy, he's offended now because you call him Hope!"

I slid back up and looked at her.

"A son also means hope for me, Bella. Hope for a new full life with you and the child. I love you so much!"

She looked at me and then pulled my head closer so that my lips touched hers again. Gently we kissed each other.


The week then passed quietly.

I worked and spoiled the most beautiful wife of all in the evening. She herself studied and wrote, played with Grace and met with Mom, Rose or Nanny.

Bella's little belly grew very slowly but steadily, visible to us. And I was proud. She drank the blood with a naturalness that I would never have expected.

Finally the day of the concert arrived.

I came home from work and Bella was already excited.

"What's wrong?", I asked as she paced back and forth excitedly.

"I'm so happy. I loooove Plain White," she said, planting a kiss on my face as she walked by.

James laughed.

"She's been bouncing around all the time. I think she's been with Alice too much!" he said and Bella laughed.

She wore jeans, a black silk top, black patent ballerinas and had her hair down.

So I also put on jeans, a black shirt and black shoes, so we fit well together.

She eyed me.

"Don't you like me?", I asked.

"Yes, very much, Mr. Volturi," she said, coming closer, pulling me to her and kissing me. "You look so hot, I'm almost be tempted to do something else with you right now," she then whispered, stroking over my chest.

"But only almost, hmm ...?", I asked with a smile.

"Yes, that's it, Plain White is better," she said saucily, laughing and jumping up me, clutching my hips with her legs.

God, how I loved that hottie.

"Well, if you're in the mood after Plain White, we can go to another event," I said, looking at the bed.

"Okay," she said, kissing me. "Now put me down. We have to go!"

She jumped down, grabbed her bag and jacket, and dashed to the door.

We followed her. Demetri was already standing in the hallway and smiled too, then we walked after her.

Outside was a big black VW bus. And Emmett with Rose, Alice and Jasper just joined it.

"I figured if you, me, Jasper, James, and Demetri are on it, we can leave Rose's guard with Grace and Alice won't need one either. Then we'll easily fit on the bus," he said with a grin.

"And who's driving?", I asked skeptically.

"I do, of course," he said, and Rose groaned.

"Then I'd like to sit between Jasper and James, please, so I can get there without bruising," Rose said.

Emmett laughed and pulled Rose into his arms.

"I'll drive real careful, sugar," he said, and she laughed in disbelief.

"Now that would be something new!" she said.

Isabella looked at me skeptically.

At that moment, Alec came to us.

"Hi, guys, I'm going too!" he said grinning happily and looking at my wife.
