"I wish I could go to the appointment with you," he said as he pulled on his shoes.

"I'll be okay," I told him.

"I have no doubts of that, I just want to be with you."

I flashed him my best smile - I'm excited about my appointment today.

"I'll call you as soon as the appointment is over," I said as I finished putting Matthew's stuff in his diaper bag.

"Okay, baby."

"We'll miss you."

"I'll miss you both, too."

I stood up and wrapped my arms around him and leaned my head on his chest as he wrapped his arms around my back.

"I can't wait for tonight, baby," he said.

"Mmm... me either, it's been so long."

"It has," he said, kissing the top of my head.

He grabbed his backpack and then picked up Matthew and kissed his forehead, "Be good for, mommy. I love you, buddy."

Matthew rewarded him with a tiny smile.

"Ready?" I asked since I was driving him to school today so that I could keep the car.

"Yep, I'll carry the car seat."

I nodded as I grabbed my jacket and then the diaper bag.

Edward picked up Matthew's car seat and followed me out the door.

We walked to the elevator and got in.

Matthew was looking around as he sucked on his pacifier.

"He doesn't seem to mind his car seat," Edward said as he looked down at him.

"No, he's such a good baby."

"That he is."

The elevator stopped and opened as we walked out and went to the car.

"Careful," I said with a smirk. It was nice to tell him that this time.

"I got it, baby."

"Just checking," I said as I got in the drivers seat and he put Matthew in the back.

"You look great behind the wheel, baby."

"Thanks. You look hot in the passenger seat."

I drove towards campus as he smiled over at me.

I pulled up to the curb and leaned over to give him a kiss.

"What time are your classes over?" I asked as I pulled away.

"Five, but I'll take the bus home," he said as he cupped my cheek in his hand.

"Okay, I'll see you at home."

"Call me."

"I will. Anything particular you want for dinner?" I asked as he got out of the car.

"Whatever you fix is fine with me, baby."

"Okay, I'll surprise you. Have a good day," I said as he closed the door and waved at me.

"Alright, buddy, just you and me now," I said swinging out on to the road.

I drove carefully towards Dr. Cheney's office.

I still hated going to the doctor.

I pulled into the parking lot and got Matthew out of the car.

I can see why Edward insisted on carrying the car seat, it was quite heavy along with the diaper bag.

I had to use both hands to lug the car seat inside.

Once inside I went up to the reception desk and gave the nurse my name.

She told me the doctor would be right with me.

I looked down at Matthew, who was sleeping peacefully.

"Bella Cullen," the nurse called from the doorway.

I stood up and followed her to the exam room.

Once inside I sat Matthew down and the nurse handed me a paper gown, "Change into this and the doctor will be right in."

She was a newer nurse and not very friendly at all.

I slipped out of my clothes and into the paper gown.

I got up on the exam table and waited for Dr. Cheney, thankfully he came in without that nurse.

"How are we feeling?" he asked cheerfully.

"I'm feeling really well," I said as I looked at him.

"Let's give everything a look and see if everything has healed."

I nodded as I laid back on the exam table.

He checked me quickly and said everything looked great.

"So no restrictions?" I asked softly.

"Nope, you're free as a bird."

I smiled up at him.

"Any concerns, Bella?"

"No, not really."

"Alright, take care," he said as he left the room.

I got up and got dressed and then picked up Matthew.

I walked out of the exam room and out of the office, walking slowly to the car.

"You are heavy buddy," I told Matthew.

He just cooed as I put him in the car and then got in.

I got in and headed for the grocery store to get something for dinner.

Once I parked the car, I picked up my phone and dialed Edward's number.

"Hey, I'm finished, and I'm good to go."

"Awesome, baby. Where are you?" he asked.

"At the grocery store."

"Okay, do you know what you are making?"

"How does burritos sound?"

"Sounds great, love."

"Okay, I'll see you at home later."

"Alright, baby, can't wait to get home."

I closed my phone and got Matthew out of the car.

I set his car seat in a shopping cart and went to get the stuff we needed.

Matthew looked around at the stuff hanging over his head as I grabbed the ingredients.

"You're such a good shopping buddy, shall we buy a cake to surprise daddy?"

He just cooed at me, I took that as a yes.

I picked out a double chocolate cake with chocolate chips on top.

"I'm sure daddy will enjoy this," I told Matthew. "One day you will too."

After I got everything I needed I checked out.

I made sure that the bags weren't too heavy and that there weren't many of them.

I loaded the groceries and Matthew into the car.

I started the car and drove home slowly.

"You were such a good boy at the store, buddy," I said softly.

Once back home I took the car seat in one hand and the grocery sacks in the other hand.

Now I can see why Edward carried Matthew and the bags for me.

I'm very grateful our building has an elevator.

The elevator stopped and I gathered everything and walked to our door.

I opened it and walked in, setting everything on the floor and then closed the door.

"Okay buddy, are you hungry?" I asked.

"Let me put this stuff away real quick and I'll feed you."

He made a gurgling sound and waved his arm around.

I put the stuff away and popped a microwave meal in and then came back to feed him.

Once he was asleep I sat down with a book and ate my lunch.

My phone chimed with an incoming text.

I picked up my phone and looked at the message.

"Hey my beautiful, sexy wife... I love and miss you so much. Love , E."

I sent him a message back immediately, "I love and miss you my adorable husband. Love, B."

He could make me smile even with a simple text message.

"Do I need to stop to get some condoms on my way home?" he texted.

"Nope, got some at the grocery store." I replied.

"You're the smartest, love. C ya soon."

I sent him a smiley face back and finished my lunch.

I checked on Matthew and then looked over at the clock, I had enough time to take a small nap before I had to start dinner.

I wanted it to be nearly ready when he walked in.

I went to our room and curled up on the bed.

I set the alarm on my phone and looked over at Matthew, he was sleeping peacefully.

It didn't take me any time to fall asleep.

I slept for about two hours and then my alarm went off.

I clicked it off and checked on Matthew, he was still sleeping.

I picked up the monitor and then went into the kitchen to start dinner.

It wasn't really difficult, but I wanted Edward to have a nice hot dinner waiting for him.

I was nervous about tonight, what if I didn't feel the same to him.

I tried to put those thoughts aside as I cooked.

I had everything ready as I heard his key in the door.

"Baby, I'm home," I heard him call from the living room.

"I'm in the kitchen."

"Hey love," he said as he put his arms around my waist and in his hand was a bouquet of white and red roses.

"Edward, these are beautiful, what's the occasion."

"Just because I love you, baby."

"They're gorgeous, thank you."

"You're welcome. Where's Matthew?" he asked as he kissed my neck.

"Still asleep."

"Do you think he'll wake up before bed?"

"Probably, he'll most likely be hungry, he's already been asleep for three hours."

"Cool, I missed him," he said as he turned me in his arms. "I missed you so much too."

"Mmm, I missed you too."

He leaned in and pressed his lips to mine.

I moaned as I slipped my fingers into his hair.

His tongue brushed over mine as he slowly pulled away, "Wow."

"You're the wow."

"Nah, its all you, love. Just a simple kiss has me ready to take you right here, right now."

I couldn't help but giggle.

"I'm not kidding, baby. Ever since your text saying everything is good, I've thought of nothing but having you again."

I bit my lip, I wanted him like crazy too, but I was worried.

I turned around to grab some plates and get the food out.

"Baby, what's wrong?" he asked.

"I'm just...worried."

"About?"

"That...I'll feel...different to you...and maybe you won't want me as much."

"I'll always want you my Bella," he said softly as I brought our plates to the table.

"But what if I'm just too different."

"You won't be, love. I promise," he said softly as we sat down.

I nodded, trying not to worry any more.

"How were your classes?"

"Boring - I just wanted to be home with you."

"Aww... we missed you too," I said looking up at him.

"I wish I never had to go anywhere."

"I know, but then you'd never be the awesome teacher I know you're going to be. I wouldn't want to deprive children of the fabulous Mr. Cullen."

"You have so much faith in me, baby."

"I do, just as you have in me. I know you'll be amazing," I said as I took a bite of my food.

"You're amazing too, baby."

"I'm not sure about that."

"I am."

"What makes you think so?" I asked looking at him.

"I believe in you, I know you can do anything you want."

"I just want to help kids who are in situations like I was and not have them be as afraid to tell someone."

"You'll be amazing at that, baby."

"I hope so," I said as we Matthew crying in our room.

"I'll get him," Edward said.

I nodded as he hopped up and headed to our room.

He came back a few minutes later with Matthew in his arms.

I can't help but smile at my two boys.

So handsome.

"I love seeing you holding him."

"I love holding him - never get enough."

"Was he wet?" I asked.

"Yeah, I already changed him."

I nodded, "I'll feed him after we are done. Oh we bought you a surprise for dessert. Matthew helped pick it out."

"Oh, you mean you're not it?" he said with a wink.

"No, an actual dessert," I said as I felt my cheeks heating up.

"That will be good too," he said.

We finished eating as we talked and watched Matthew.

He liked being held by his daddy.

"Have you heard from Alice?" I asked picking up the plates.

"Yeah, she called me after you did."

"And?" I asked.

"She's not pregnant," he said relieved.

"Thank God," I said as cut us a slice of cake.

"Mmm.. that looks good, love."

"I hope it tastes good," I said as I sat down next to him.

"Delicious," he said taking a big bite. "Yeah, I'm glad she's not pregnant. It's not the right time for her."

"It's not, maybe in a few years."

He nodded as he ate his cake.

I smiled over at him as I took a small bite, I was beginning to feel really nervous now.

"You're awful quiet," he said. "What's up?"

"Nothing," I said taking another bite.

"Baby, I know something is bothering you."

"I just feel nervous, I can't help it," I sighed.

"About being with me again?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"I told you already," I said looking down.

"Baby, I love every inch of you, no matter what."

I nodded as I heard the sincerity in his voice.

We finished our dessert and then he handed me Matthew as he went to clean up the dishes.

I went into the living room and started to feed him.

He fed on both sides and yawned.

"Tired, sweet boy?" I asked as I burped him.

After his burp I cuddled him in my arms as I watched him fall asleep.

"Now that is a pretty picture," Edward said from the doorway.

I looked up at him with a smile.

"Is he asleep?"

"Yeah."

"I can put him in bed, if you would like a few minutes before bed."

"Okay," I said as I stood up and placed him in his arms.

I went to our room as Edward headed down the hall to lay Matthew down.

I went in the bathroom and quickly changed out of my clothes and I put on a dark blue baby doll and ran the brush through my hair.

My stomach was churning with nerves.

I heard him walk into our room as I took a deep breath.

I opened the door slowly and peeked in to our room.

He was sitting on the bed in just his boxers and he looked up when he heard the door open.

I pulled my bottom lip between my teeth - he looked so good.

"Hey beautiful," he said softly as I walked towards him.

"Hey yourself," I said quietly.

He reached his hand out to me and I took it in mine.

He pulled me gently to him, his lips finding mine immediately.

He scooted us back so that I was laying on my back and he was hovering over me as his tongue slid against mine and my fingers were threaded into his hair.

I moaned in his mouth as I felt desire boiling inside me.

He moved his hands down my sides as he pulled his lips from mine as he kissed her way over to my ear.

"Mmm... so beautiful," he murmured against my ear as he sucked my earlobe into his mouth.

I moaned and arched against him, pulling on his hair.

"That's it baby, just feel," he said as he moved his hand over my breast, squeezing gently.

I pulled him tighter against me, needing to feel more of him.

"Edward," I murmured as he moved to pull the nightgown off.

"Are you okay, baby?"

"Yeah, just afraid you won't like what you see," I said softly as his fingers slid up my body.

"I love what I see."

I couldn't help but smile as he pulled the gown off and he smiled down at me.

"So gorgeous."

His hand moved down my body, cupping my breasts as he kissed me deeply.

I moved my hands down his back, pressing him closer to me and feeling his erection hard against my stomach.

I ran my hand over his body, palming his hard cock.

I pushed his boxers down his hips and then he kicked them off the rest of the way.

His hand moved further down my body and over my heated mound.

"Edward," I murmured as I arched into his hand.

His hand slipped between my thighs and parted my folds, rubbing over my clit.

I still felt nervous as his fingers moved against me.

"Just relax baby...feel."

I nodded as I closed my eyes and just felt what he was doing.

His fingers moved gently against me - taking me higher.

"Edward," I moaned as I moved against his hand.

"Tell me what you want, baby."

"Just you."

"Are you ready?" he asked.

"Yes," I said looking up at him.

He moved over me, settling between my legs.

He reached for a condom as he sat up quickly and slipped it on, before settling back between my legs.

"I nearly forgot," he said softly.

I smiled at him and pulled him closer.

He lined himself up with my entrance and he slowly slipped inside me.

"Oh yes, Edward." I moaned.

"Mmm.. you feel so good, baby."

"Oh god Edward, so do you."

I moved my hands up around his neck as I slipped my fingers into his hair as he locked his eyes on mine.

He moved gently in and out of me.

"Fuck," I murmured as he thrusted upwards a bit.

"I'm not hurting you am I?" he asked.

"No, not at all. Don't stop."

He picked up his pace and pushed in harder.

"Mmm... yes, yes... Edward."

"Fuck baby, I'm so close," he moaned out.

"Me.. too," I panted out as I looked into his dark green eyes.

He pushed in even harder, sweat beading on his forehead.

I felt my walls starting tremble, "Let go Edward, I'm there."

He slammed into me again and again.

"Yes.. yes, Edward," I screamed out as I clutched onto his shoulders.

"That's it, baby" he called out.

"A..are you closer now?" I panted.

"Yes, baby, yes! I'm coming!"

He pulsed inside me and I held him closer to me.

"Yes Edward, oh yes!"

He rolled off of me and disposed of the condom as he pulled me to him.

"Oh god baby, that's was amazing."

"Was it like before?" I asked softly.

"It was just as amazing."

I smiled at him as I leaned in and kissed his lips.

"I missed this so much."

"Me too."

"Nothing hurts, love?"

"Nope."

"Good, I'm glad," he said as he pushed my hair off my shoulder as he kissed it.

"Me too."

I couldn't help but smile as his lips brushed over my skin, god they felt amazing.

I ran my fingers through his hair and over his body.

"What are you up to love?" he asked.

"Reacquainting myself with your gorgeous body."

"Mmm... I love the feel of your hands."

I moved my hands over his muscled chest and abs.

I ran my fingers down his stomach and over that little trail of hair under his belly button.

"Mmm, I love this little trail."

I pushed him onto his back as I scooted down and kissed down his chest and over his stomach until I reached his trail.

I kissed over it softly.

He groaned deep in his chest.

I skimmed my hand over his hardening cock are I continued kissing over his stomach.

I gripped his cock firmly and stroked it.

"B..bella," he murmured as he pressed his head into the pillow.

I brought his cock to my mouth and kissed it gently.

He moaned loudly as I slipped him between my lips.

"Oh god, Bella."

I slipped him farther into my mouth as I bobbed my head up and down on him.

I gripped him harder and stroked faster.

"F...fuck, Bella," he murmured as he gripped the sheet in one hand and his other hand he threaded it in my hair.

I sucked him in even deeper, keeping my hand moving along him.

I could feel him getting harder inside my mouth and I wanted to make him come.

"B.. bella, I'm ... fuck, going to c...come," he panted out as he thrusted up into my mouth gently.

I sucked him even harder till he jumped in my mouth and his hot come pulsed out.

"F...fuck... fuck, yes, Bella," he murmured as I swallowed around him, and licked him clean before releasing him and sitting up between his legs with a smirk on my face.

His arm was draped over his face and he was breathing deeply.

I loved seeing him like that, it made me feel good to know that I brought him to that state.

"I love that I can do that to you."

He nodded as he moved his arm from over his face.

I loved that I rendered him speechless.

I laid down next to him, "Are you okay?"

"You are so incredible Bella," he said breathlessly.

"I think you're pretty incredible too."

He leaned up on his elbows and looked at me, "I think I owe you now."

"You don't owe me anything, I was happy to do it."

"I want to watch you come undone too," he said softly as he reached out to palm my breast.

I smiled at him as I felt the fire ignite inside me.

"What are you thinking, love?"

"How good your touch feels."

"Yeah," he said with a smirk as he leaned in to kiss my breast as he moved his hand to my other breast.

"Yes," I breathed out.

"Shall I continue, baby?" he asked as he flicked my nipple with his tongue.

"Y...yes."

I felt him smile against my breast as he sucked my nipple gently between his lips.

"Edward..." I moaned out.

He kissed down my stomach and I tried to cover my stomach, it wasn't as flat as before.

He pushed my hand away and kissed right over my belly.

"Edward," I protested.

"You're beautiful...always have been, always will be."

I continued kissing his way down as he nudged my legs apart.

"Mmm... so warm, so wet, baby."

"You always make me this way."

He smiled as he pushed my legs farther apart and placed a kiss over my mound.

"Edward," I murmured.

He dipped his tongue between my folds and licked me gently.

I moaned loudly as I threaded my fingers in his hair.

"Yes," I moaned out as he pushed two fingers inside me.

I loved the feeling of his fingers sliding in and out of me, and his tongue against my clit.

"Yes Edward, yes."

He curled his fingers upward as he moved them in and out of me.

I tugged on his hair as I arched towards him, and he looked up at me through his lashes as he flicked his tongue over my clit.

"Yes Edward - so close."

He pulled his lips from me and smiled, "I want to feel you come, baby. Let go for me."

He went back to licking and sucking at my clit as he plunged his fingers in and out faster.

"Yes! Edward, oh fuck!" I called out as I came undone around him.

I felt him lapping at me as he moved his fingers slowly out of me.

I was seeing stars and panting.

He kissed his way up my body and he laid next to me, and smiled.

"How do you feel, baby?" he asked.

"Wonderful."

"I love being able to do that to you baby," he said.

I nodded as I leaned in and kissed him softly, tasting myself on his lips.

"I love when you do it," I murmured as I pulled away and yawned. "Sorry."

"Sorry for what, love?"

"Yawning."

"Don't worry about it baby, I'm tired too."

"It seems so early," I said softly.

"It's not too early."

I smiled over at him as I sat up, "I need to go to the bathroom and check on Matthew. Do you need anything?"

"Some water would be nice."

"Okay, I'll bring you back some," I said as I got up from the bed and reached for his shirt laying on the chair.

I slipped it on and went into the bathroom.

After I was done I checked Matthew real quick.

He was sleeping soundly and didn't need to feed yet.

I closed his door and walked to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water and walked back to our room.

He was sitting up leaning against the headboard and I handed him the water.

I kept the shirt on as I slipped into bed.

He took a drink of the water and held it out to me.

"Thank you," I said taking it and taking a drink.

"Was Matthew okay?" he asked as I handed him the bottle back.

"Yep, sound asleep."

He laid back on the bed and pulled me close to him, "I love you, baby."

"I love you."

He wrapped me in his arms and held me against him as I yawned again.

"Sleep now love, I've got you."

I nodded as i snuggled into his chest and closed my eyes.

It felt nice to reconnect with him in this way, but he was right our relationship went way deeper than sex.

I smiled as I felt his heart beneath my cheek.

I never thought my life would be anything like it is now.

I have a wonderful husband, and a baby that I adore, and a real family that cares about me, and most of all I have friends that are there for me.

I'd say that everything is perfect in my little piece of the world, sure we'll have our problems, but together we can do anything.
