A/N: Just a side note… I don't really know what kind of weather the Forks area has during December and in order for this to happen how I want it, we're going to ignore the fact that it may be too cold to have a wedding outside… or to plant a garden. All that will make more sense when you read. :) So don't hate me for getting the weather wrong. :) Thanks!

It's not stated in the story, simply because I couldn't find a place to put it, but the time Alice and Jasper are getting married changed because of schooling issues. Workloads and all that mess were too much, so they just waited until the end of semester to have the wedding. :)

OH! And I forwent that cliffhanger I told you I planned on leaving you with. I know... I love you, too. ;)

Urm... sorry it took so long to get this out. Please forgive me. It's also unbeat'd. I literally just finished it. :)

We'll talk more at the end. Enjoy the show!

Chapter 23: Surprises

I try to stifle my giggle. He's so cute when he's asleep. I could look at him for days. However, now isn't the time to stare at him. I have to help my best friend plan her wedding. Well, plan isn't the right word for it really. It's more like take orders from her as to what I'm allowed to do. She's really nervous, more so since her and Jasper are technically already married and she's positive that her mother is going to find out before they can be wed for the second time. It doesn't help that Esme is in the middle of everything, wanting to do all of the mother/daughter things she hasn't gotten to do with her other children's weddings.

I move to get out of the bed, but a long arm wraps around my waist and pulls me against a nice firm chest. "And where do you think you're going, little girl?"

I roll over in his arms and smile at him. "I have to get ready so I can help your sister pull off this wedding."

He closes his eyes and shakes his head. "It doesn't matter what you do, love." He opens his eyes. "They're going to get caught."

"We need positive thinking, Edward. Positive, not negative. Maybe if we put enough positive thinking behind this everything will go well."

He scoffs. "There isn't enough positive thinking in the world, Bella. The best thing you can do right now is brace yourself. Once Mom finds out that Alice and Jasper eloped, she's going to explode. It's best you aren't around when that happens. I've seen my mother get angry like that one time… and one time was more than enough."

I roll my eyes. "I don't think Esme could get that angry if she tried. Regardless, I still have to help. Now, you can get up and take a shower with me or you can continue to sleep."

He smiles at me, raising the blanket up so he can look me up and down. He scoffs. "Right, like I could sleep knowing you're naked not 20 feet away from me. Besides, I have morning wood."

I laugh at him as he attacks me.

Edward and I make it downstairs in time to find Esme telling Alice what she has planned for the week ahead.

"I figure we can all go to Seattle and find you a dress and matching bride's maid dresses. Then, if we have time we can go to that flower shop we used for Bella and Edward's wedding. Emmett insisted on cooking for the reception, so that's covered. Oh, your father and I ran into Father Jefferies. We spoke to him about marrying you and Jasper and he agreed to do it. So you won't have to worry about that. We just need to go get the marriage certificate."

I could visibly see Alice's face freeze up. Thankfully, Esme has her back to her daughter.

"Bella!" Alice exclaims excitedly.

"Good morning, Alice."

Edward scoffs. "I don't get my name screamed? What the hell?"

Alice laughs nervous. "Sorry. Just excited. Good morning, Edward."

Edward smiles crookedly. "That's better than nothing," he tells her with a wink.

Esme turns to us, drying her hands on the nearby dish towel. "Edward, your father, Emmett, and Jasper are in the office. They were talking tuxes that last time I was in there."

He nods. "I'll go see what I can do to help."

Esme smiles at him and walks over to the kitchen table, where there are a stack of wedding magazines. He kisses my forehead and winks at me. "Love you."

I close my eyes and smile. "Love you."

As Edward walks out of the kitchen door, Rosalie comes down the back stair case. She looks tired. Morning sickness has been kicking her ass for awhile now. She's looking forward to the day it stops. She plans on celebrating by binge eating.

"Oh, good, Rose is here. How are you feeling, dear?" Esme asks with too much sincerity that only a mother could get away with.

Rose nods. "Okay for now. I'm going to try to eat something. Just a small something… like a cracker and a sip of water."

I feel so sorry for her and pray that when I get pregnant it goes more smoothly than this. I take her hand and smile apologetically at her. "Sit down. I'll get it for you."

She smiles at me sweetly, sighing happily. "Thanks, Bella."

I grab her a pack of crackers and some water before taking my seat beside Alice at the table. Esme hands Alice one of the magazines from in front of her. "I've marked a few pages in these magazines that you might like for the ceremony and reception. They have a lot of beautiful ideas."

Alice plasters on a big smile for her mother. Anything Esme wants, Esme is going to get. That's Alice's mantra. She wants to make sure that Esme stays happy. She hopes this will lighten the blow in case everyone finds out what she and Jasper did. This is going to be a long week…

I open the door to my father's office to find Emmett and Jasper sitting in the seats in front of his desk with Dad sitting on the desk in front of them. Dad smiles at me. "It's about time you woke up."

I smile apologetically. Medical school is wearing me out. Winter break is a very much needed break indeed. I hardly get to sleep with Bella these days. Studying for finals has been keeping me up at all hours for night. Thankfully, Bella is being her understanding self, but I fucking miss her. Everyone is going to have to excuse me while I catch up on all the time I missed with my wife. I know it's supposed to be about Alice and Jasper, but I'm really not giving a fuck.

"So what's up? Mom tells me I missed out on the tux conversation."

Jasper nods. "Yeah, we decided to just go with some traditional tuxedos. Nothing fancy."

"What about all the setting up? Have you two decided where you're going to have it?"

Jasper nods again. "In the garden out back."

I chuckle. "I bet Mom is going to love that."

Dad nods. "She did. She loved the idea."

I walk over and lean against the desk beside my father. "So what about chairs and tables and all that shit?"

"Dad called the same place we used for your wedding. They have all we need. We just need a truck to go get everything."

"I'm pretty sure Charlie or Jacob could help us out. When do we need to go get them?"

"They'll be ready in a couple of days," Dad tells me. "Until then, we need to clean up the garden."

The three of us groan while Dad laughs at us. "Go change into something you can get dirty. We have a lot of work to do. We're going to need to go to Port Angeles and pick up some flowers and things later in the week. Esme really hasn't fooled with it much this year."

I stand up straight. "I can't work on an empty stomach. I need breakfast first."

Dad rolls his eyes. "You have thirty minutes to eat, change, and have your ass out in that garden. Do you understand me?"

I hold my hands up in surrender. "Calm down. I'll be out there as soon as I can."

He narrows his eyes slightly before he turns to walk out. Emmett and Jasper sigh as they get to their feet. Emmett looks at Jasper. "You better be glad I love my sister so much. Replanting a garden isn't something I was looking forward to doing during winter break."

Jasper sighs. "Trust me. I'm glad. Anything to make this—"

Jasper catches himself. Emmett knows nothing about why everything needs to go according to plan. Bella and I are still the only ones that know the secret surrounding this wedding.

"Anything to make this perfect for Alice," Jasper tells Emmett, effectively wiping the confused look off my brother's face.

Emmett pats Jasper on the shoulder. "Everything is going to go fine."

Emmett turns and walks out of the room. Jasper and I look at one another pointedly. "Just remember when everything decides to not go fine, Bella and I knew nothing of this treachery."

I walk out before Jasper can comment. I don't even want to know what Mom would do to Bella and me for keeping this secret from her. It obviously wouldn't be as bad as what she'll do to Alice and Jasper, but I just don't want any of her wrath pointed towards us. I wasn't joking when I told Bella that this wasn't something she wanted to bear witness to.

Alice and Rose are gushing over one of the pages Esme marked for the reception when Carlisle walks into the kitchen. "We're going to get started on the garden as soon as Edward has had breakfast."

My stomach rumbles at the mention of the meal. I forgot we missed breakfast. Sleeping late in this house usually leaves you hungry. Esme tends to not wait for late risers. If you want her to cook for you, you better be up when she's cooking.

We didn't mean to sleep late. It's just medical school has been taking its toll on Edward. We hardly get to see one another since he's been studying for finals. This break is a much needed one for both of us. Edward can rest his brain and catch up on his sleep and I can spend time with my husband.

I push away from the table. "I'll go find him. We'll go get something to eat at the diner."

Carlisle smiles crookedly. "Have him back in thirty minutes, Bella. He's not getting out of this."

I smile and nod. "You got it."

As I walk out of the kitchen, Emmett walks in. He gives me a head nod and quick wave as we pass. I giggle and shake my head, waving back. Right as I turn to walk down the hall leading to Carlisle's office, Edward walks out.

He smiles down at me as he pulls me into a hug. "I was just about to come find you."

"Looks like I found you first," I say before I kiss him.

"Indeed."

"We need to get you fed before you start working on the garden, Farmer Ed."

He narrows his eyes. "Watch it, little girl."

I roll my eyes and push away from him. "Come on. We don't have time for banter, and besides, I'm hungry."

Once we're back from the diner, Bella gets pulled upstairs with Alice, Rose, and Mom to get her measurements for her maid-of-honor dress. I quickly change and head outside to find Em, Jasper, and Dad trying to figure out what they plan to do with the garden.

"Well, Alice said she wants the colors for the wedding to be baby blue and yellow. So, if we could find a lot of those colored flowers that would be great."

"It just depends on what they have at the Gardening Depot. I doubt we find that many flowers this time of year," Dad says as he hands Jasper a rake.

He notices me and smiles. "Right on time. I was starting to worry."

He tosses a rake at me and the four of us get to work.

The next morning, Bella and I get woke up by a very rapid and incessant knocking. Bella groans as she gets out of bed and slips on one of my shirts.

"Bella? Bella, are you awake? Please wake up," Alice says from the other side of the door.

Bella looks back at me with a worried frown. I sit up and watch as Bella opens the door and lets Alice in. She quickly walks in, ringing her hands and looking like she's on the verge of crying.

"The court house called a few minutes ago. They said there was a problem with the marriage certificate and that Jasper and I need to get down there as soon as we can."

I sigh. "Alice, I told you that you wouldn't be able to file for a certificate if you've already got one. It's going to come back saying that the two of you are already married."

Alice starts to panic. Bella wraps her arms around her and rubs her back. "Calm down, Alice. It's okay. Maybe we can stall Esme or something. Maybe get her to stay here while you and Jasper go down there. We can come up with a lie."

I scoff. "No we can't. Alice and Jasper can come up with the lie. I'm sorry, but I honestly don't want any part of this."

Bella's worried frown turns into one of anger. "Edward!"

I shake my head. "I'm sorry, but you guys can do what you want. This is going to hurt Mom enough and I want nothing to do with that. It's best to tell her before she finds out on her own, Alice."

Alice starts crying on Bella's shoulder. Bella glares at me, but before she can say anything Alice sobs out, "You're right. I'm sorry for dragging you guys into this. This is our problem. She's going to be so angry."

Bella's angry face softens as she holds onto her best friend as she breaks down. I know it's mean to leave them out on the line like this, but they knew what they were doing when they ran off to Vegas. They shouldn't have waited this long to tell everyone. They should've told them as soon as they got home and we could be having a wedding without all this stress. I feel like we were walking on egg shells, having to watch what we say.

Alice pulls away from Bella and wipes her face. "I'm going to find Jasper. We need to tell Mom right now."

Before Bella could say anything in the way of encouragement, Alice is out of the room with the door shut behind her. Bella turns to me. "How could you be so ready to leave them stranded like that?"

"Bella, I don't want to be blamed for this at all. We lied for them while they were still in Vegas, we've kept the truth for them this entire time, and now everything is coming down around their ears just like I told them it would. This isn't our problem, baby. Alice and Jasper are two grown people that need to fess up to their fuck ups."

Bella gets back in bed with me and sighs. "Still, I feel sorry for them. Esme is going to be so upset."

I nod. "It's probably best we get up and head downstairs. Maybe we can help with the damage control?"

She nods and we get out of bed. We forgo our morning shower for now and pull on the pajamas we tried to sleep in last night. As soon as we take the stair case down to the kitchen we can hear my mom.

"Jennifer Gooding just called me. She told me that her assistant spoke to you this morning about your marriage certificate. She wanted to call me and tell me that she double checked with the state of Nevada to make sure what they sent to her was correct. She told me that you're already married to a Jasper Whitlock and have been for the past few months now. What is she talking about Alice?"

Bella and I stop on the stairs. We don't want to interrupt, but we're too nosy to go back to the room.

"The night of Edward and Bella's wedding, when Jasper came back, we left for Vegas. Those days we were missing we were having our honeymoon."

"You did what?" Mom asks in a very high pitch and angry voice.

"Esme, please stay calm." Thank God Dad is there to keep her in check.

"I refuse to stay calm. Call me selfish, but I was looking forward to helping my daughter plan her wedding. Alice, you always wanted a huge fairytale wedding. How could getting married in some tacky chapel by some ridiculous Elvis impersonator be anything close to what you wanted?"

I can hear the tears in Alice's voice as she says, "It's not, but we were just caught up in the moment. He came home. He wanted to be with me. He wanted to marry me as soon as possible. I wanted to be married to him as soon as possible."

We hear a loud bang and I know my mother threw something in the sink. Bella jumps at the sound and moves closer to me.

"This is unbelievable. Why didn't you tell us? Why did you let us get this far in planning a wedding that isn't even going to take place?"

"No! No, I want it to take place. I want to have a wedding. I know I messed up, but why can't we still have a wedding?"

"Because the bride and groom are already married, Alice!"

"Answer the question, Alice. Why didn't you tell us?" Dad asks.

All of the sudden, someone comes running into the kitchen. "This isn't entirely Alice's fault. If you want to get angry with someone, get angry with me. It was my idea. I suggested it."

Well, what the fuck took him so long, cowboy?

Mom laughs humorlessly. "I don't care who's idea it was, Jasper. Why didn't you tell us?"

Alice sighs. "Because you were already pissed off about Edward and Bella's wedding. At the time, I didn't want you to be angry with me as well. I figured we could just get married and no one would be the wiser to what we'd done."

"Alice, this is still a happy occasion. You should've told us. We were hurt with Edward and Bella's actions, but we get to see them happy every day. What we didn't get to capture on photo takes place in front of us all the time. We were upset, but our anger wasn't that great," Dad explains in his always calm voice. Nothing gets to that man, I swear.

"I'm sorry," Alice apologizes in a small voice. "I didn't know what to do. Please, I just want to have this wedding. I want to give you guys what you didn't get when we got married."

We hear a sniffle and a sigh. "You're just going to have to give me a little while to calm down."

I grab Bella's hand and pull her behind me as I hurry upstairs. The footsteps walking towards the stairs sounded like Mom's and I didn't want her to know that we were standing there listening. As I shut the door to our room, Bella sighs. "Well, that went better than what I expected. I thought you said she was going to be vicious."

I shrug. "Maybe she's calmed down over the years. I think she's more hurt than pissed. That's probably what took the fire out of her fury."

Bella takes a seat on the end of the bed and looks down at her wedding ring. "I still think we should have the wedding. They can just renew their vows or whatever. I think Esme and Carlisle deserve that much."

I walk over to her and squat down in front of her. "What's going on in that head of yours?"

She looks me in the eyes and smiles. "I was just remembering our wedding day. I think everyone should get a chance to celebrate their marriage in front of their family, even if when the couple got married they were in some tacky little chapel."

I chuckle at her use of Mom's words. "I agree."

She smiles brightly before throwing herself at me, knocking me onto my back with her straddling my hips. She lays her hands on my chest and bites her bottom lip as she runs her fingers over my chest. "I think since we took a bath last night that we should get extra dirty before we take our morning shower."

"Oh, you do, do you?"

She nods happily with her idea. "Yes. I think it's a waste of soap and water if we aren't dirty."

I sit up, wrapping my arms around her hips in order to hold her body against mine. "And how dirty do you want to get?"

She moves closer, placing her lips against my ear. "I want to be sweaty," she says before she kisses me below my ear. "And sticky," she adds with a little lick to where she kissed me.

I stand up with her in my arms and toss her on the bed. I can't help but take a second to stop and look at the beauty lying before me in my UW shirt with her messy brown hair spread around her head, rubbing her thighs together.

Fucking perfect…

***Two Years Later***

No, no, no, no! This can't be happening. Not now! I mean, don't get me wrong, I want this to happen, but I also wanted other things to happen before this happened. I wanted to finish college. I wanted to buy a house. I wanted to travel more. I wanted to… do more! How did this happen to even fucking start with? I'm on birth control! You can't get pregnant on birth control. That sort of defeats the fucking purpose, doesn't it?

I reach up and open the medicine cabinet. I grab my birth control and make sure I didn't skip any days. Nope, not a single fucking one. I hurry downstairs and grab my cell phone. I schedule an appointment with my doctor. I have to lie and tell him I'm feeling ill. My doctor knows both Edward and Carlisle. I don't want that pregnancy test to be wrong and I get everyone's hopes up. Babies are a big deal to this family. The fuss they made over Em and Rose's little boy and how crazy they went when Alice announced her pregnancy last month gives me a small insight into what I can expect their reaction to be for Edward and me.

And Edward? He'd be crazy with happiness. I cringe at the amount of happy he'd actually be. Everything would be planned and paid for before my first trimester is even over! I couldn't do that to him. He wants kids so badly, and to get his hopes up just to crush them… it makes me ill just thinking about how disappointed he'd be.

My appointment is in two days. I think I can wait two days. I hope I can wait two days. I'm not going to be able to wait two days. I have to tell someone. Rose… I grab my cell phone and press the speed dial to her number.

"Hey, Bella."

"Hey, Rose. Are you busy?"

"Not really. Andy is passed out on the couch. I was going to pick up the house a little. Why? Is everything okay?"

"I… I'm… Can I come over? I'd rather say all this in person."

"Absolutely!"

"Thanks, Rose."

I hang up before she can say anything else and jump in the Mustang. As soon as I walk in the front door, she's there with a worried look on her face.

"Bella, is everything alright?"

I shrug. "I'm not sure yet. After my doctor's appointment in a couple of days, I'll be able to give you a more definite answer."

Rose looks confused for a second until she realizes what I'm talking about. She smiles brightly. "I didn't even know you guys were trying!"

She takes my hand and leads me into the kitchen, placing her finger over her mouth as she points to Andy snoring on the couch. I give her a small smile and nod, letting her know I'll keep it down. Andy is a sweet kid, but he's really hyper. Sometimes he gets so excited when Edward and I come over that he just takes our hands and jumps up and down, smiling so big that I know his cheeks have to hurt.

Once we're seated at the kitchen table, I shake my head. "We aren't trying. I have no idea how I might be pregnant. I didn't get my period like I was supposed to and I've been feeling kind of… off. So I just took a test, just to make sure. It came back positive."

Rose frowns slightly. "Are you okay with this? You aren't as excited as I would expect you to be…"

I shake my head. "It's not that. I want this baby. Very much. I just want to be sure I'm pregnant before I tell everyone… before I tell Edward. I just couldn't keep it to myself."

She holds up her hand. "I promise to keep this between us."

I sigh happily. "Thanks, Rose."

She takes my hand. "You're welcome, Bella. Do you want me to come with you to the doctor's appointment?"

I nod vigorously. "Yes! That would be great!"

She smiles brightly and winks as she says, "Consider it a date!"

Jesus… where have the past couple of years gone? Feels like just yesterday I was watching Alice and Jasper renew their vows. Everything has been perfect. I have nothing to complain about. School is going great. I'm at the top of my class and all the doctor's love me. Bella and I are still as much in love as the first day. We've been talking about buying a house, but we haven't actually put forth the effort to do it. This weekend I have a feeling that will change. We need a house. She's got two more years of college left, and come graduation night, I'm burning her birth control.

Right now, I'm the happiest man alive. Hands down.

And tonight, I'll be an even happier man. College is officially out until January. I've got the weekend off, which is very surprising. Bella and I are going to hide away here in the apartment for the next couple of days, catching up on some much needed us time. I pull up into the drive way and find that her Mustang is parked in the garage. I didn't expect her home. She said she was going to be having lunch with Rosalie today, which usually means I don't see her until that night. I guess she's excited about our weekend as much as I am.

I park behind her and hurry into the house. The smell hits me before I even open the door all the way. Fried chicken… fucking delicious… I hurry into the kitchen to find my beautiful wife dressed up. She has on a pretty white dress with no shoes and her hair pull back from her face. She smiles at me as I stop in the door way.

"Hey, baby," she says before walking up to me and kissing the corner of my mouth.

I smile down at her as she continues to smile up at me. "You look beautiful. You're positively glowing."

She giggles and blushes as she moves away from me. "I got some really good news today. Go take a shower and I'll tell you all about it when you come back down."

I nod, slowly, wondering exactly what this news could be. As far as I know, she wasn't expecting anything like that. "Alright, I'll be right back."

I hurry upstairs and shower quickly. The excitement started to build the second I came upstairs. Now I'm ready to burst with it and I'm not sure why. I walk into the closet and go through my clothes. I want to wear something just right. Bella is downstairs looking magnificent and I want to take the time to look great for her too.

I pull on a pair of black slacks and long sleeve charcoal grey shirt. I opt for the 'no shoes look' as well. I hurry back in the bathroom and try to make my hair calm down a little before rushing downstairs. Bella smiles at me from the kitchen table, where she's placing all of the food she cooked for dinner. I notice a piece of paper sitting beside my plate and walk over to it as Bella continues to bring things to the table.

Oh my God…

I open my mouth to say something, but I have no words to tell her how happy I am. I look at her in shock, down to her stomach, and then back up to her face. "Bella…"

BPOV

I'll admit, when he picked up the piece of paper, I was a little nervous. I don't know why. It's not like he'd get angry or something, but the second he said my name, I couldn't stop smiling.

"We're pregnant? This is really happening?"

I nod my head, tears coming to my eyes. The look of happiness on his face made me just as happy. "Yeah, I'm a month along."

He drops the piece of paper and picks me up, twirling me around as he laughs happily. "This is great! This is fucking perfect!" He sets me down and kisses me. "Oh, baby, I love you so much!"

"I love you, too, Edward!" I tell him as he buries his face against my neck.

He drops to his knees and showers my belly with kisses. He stares intently at my stomach as I run my fingers through his damp hair. "That's out little boy in there, baby."

I laugh out of happiness, excitement, and just because I can't help it. Edward smiles at me as he stands. He grabs me up and wraps my legs around his waist before kissing me heatedly. I feel him start to move and pull out of the kiss. I see that he's walking upstairs. I smile down at him. "What about dinner?"

He grins crookedly as he starts up the stairs. "It'll still be there when I'm done with you."

My hands dive into the sides of his hair as my lips attack his. He's going to make love to me just like he said he would. Before I realize it, we're in our room and I'm on my back in the middle of the bed. He strips his shirt off and moves onto the bed with me, hovering over me. He brushes the backs for his fingers over my cheek.

"This is exactly how it's supposed to be, baby."

Tears come to my eyes again as I nod. "I know," I whisper.

He smiles brightly before leaning down and kissing me slowly. He takes his time kissing me, moving along my jaw and down my neck. He places a kiss at the top of my cleavage and rests his forehead against my collarbone. I move my hands from his shoulders on to his back as he runs his free hand up under my dress. He sits back on his legs so he can use both hands to run up my dress until I have to sit up to pull it off over my head.

He gently pushes me to lie back down as he moves between my legs. He grabs the sides of my white boyshorts and pulls them off as soon as I raise my hips up. He smiles crookedly as his eyes move over my naked body. He bends down and kisses my stomach, moving up my body just as slowly as he did before. After nearly kissing me senseless, he makes his way back down until my legs are thrown over his shoulders and his face is buried in my pussy.

One hand latches onto the blanket while my other weaves into his hair. His fingers move in and out of me as his tongue and lips work my clit. My gasps and moans spur him on to move his fingers faster and suck harder. I fight off my orgasm just so I can enjoy this a little longer.

All of the sudden, he stops. I look down at him to see him grinning up at me crookedly. "Are you holding back?"

I bite my lip and nod. He knows me too well… "Don't. The sooner you come for me, the sooner I can be inside of you."

I moan at the thought of him being inside of me. I nod. "Okay, I'll stop holding back."

He kisses my thigh and winks. "Thank you, love."

It doesn't take him any longer than thirty seconds to achieve his goal. I come sighing his name. He kisses his way up my body, giving my belly a few extra kisses. As soon as I can reach it, I grab the button of his pants and unfasten it, pulling the zipper down along with it. He rolls onto his back, shedding his clothes and pulling me up to straddle him.

"I want to see all of you, baby."

The both of us moan deeply as I slide onto him. It feels like it has been forever since we've done this. His shifts at the hospital were scattered all over the place. Sometimes he works nights and sometimes he works days. He works extremely long hours regardless of when it is. He is always so tired when he comes home from work that I just want him to rest. Our days of making love have turned into every-so-oftens.

The lack of physical contact over the past few days makes this all the more special.

"Bella, you're going to have to move."

"Sorry, I was just relishing the way this feels."

He grips my hips gently and pulls me up, trying to get me to start moving up and down on him. I comply, but move slowly. He had the chance to take his time kissing me and get me all worked up, I think it's time I repay the favor.

He groans softly. "Baby, you're killing me."

I smile down at him. "Just breathe, Edward. Enjoy this."

"I am," he sighs. "I'm not going to last long and I want you to come again."

I get off of him and lay beside him, pulling him on top of me. "This way. I want to feel all of you."

He doesn't say a word; he just does as I ask. He slides back inside of me, moving a little faster than I was before, but not as fast as I know he wants to go. He's too busy kissing me senseless again. He moves his kisses down my jaw and neck as he picks up his pace.

"Yes, Edward! Mmmm! I've missed this."

His grip on my shoulders tightens. "Me too, Bella. I've missed you so much, baby."

I wrap my arms around his back a little tighter, digging my fingers into his shoulders as he moves a little faster. He pulls away slightly, moving all his weight onto one arm as he moves his free hand down to my clit. His lips attach themselves to my nipple, sucking greedily as his fingers rub my clit. Everything becomes too much and my orgasm hits me hard.

"Fuck! Yes!"

Edward follows right behind, swearing and calling my name. He collapses on top of me, panting. "Never again," he tells me. "Never again are we going that long without sex." He looks up at me. "I don't care if I walk through that door acting like a zombie, we're having sex more often."

I giggle at him, scrunching my nose. "If you come through that door acting like a zombie, I'm locking myself in the bathroom and calling Emmett."

He chuckles, shaking his head and rolling off of me. "You know what I mean, little girl." He pulls me against him, kissing my forehead. "I can't believe we're going to have a baby."

I lean up on my elbow and look down at him. He smiles up at me, pure happiness radiating from his beautiful green eyes. "Well, you better believe it, buddy. In eight months, life is going to change."

He smiles brighter and nods. "I can't wait. I can't fucking wait, baby."

I lay my head on his shoulder and curl up against him. "Me either."

"Tomorrow we need to get up early so we can go house hunting."

"So soon?" I ask with a giggle.

He chuckles. "Yes! I want to be moved in before you get too big. I don't want you worrying about a thing when it comes to the house. I want you taking care of yourself. Which means no lifting of anything when it comes to moving. You can pack the light stuff, but when it comes to picking anything up call me to do it."

"Edward, I'm pregnant. Not helpless. Pregnant woman work all the way through their pregnancies."

Edward turns over, rolling me onto my back as he leans on his elbow beside me. "Bella, you aren't just any pregnant woman. You're my pregnant wife. I want you and our son to be as safe as possible." He rests his hand on my belly, rubbing his thumb back and forth. "You are twice as important to me as you were before, and incase you were unaware, you are pretty fucking important to me."

I nod. "Okay, I won't argue with you, but I would like to get one more semester in before I have to leave college for a little while."

He sighs and looks down at my belly. "I can agree to that. It's just school. The walking would be good exercise for you."

I smile up at him. "You're planning all this out, aren't you? I see the cogs in your head turning."

He chuckles and shakes his head. "Planning? Bella, this has been planned for a while now. I've been looking forward to this moment for a long time."

I run my hand through his hair. "Well, you can finally put all that thinking into action now."

He smiles brightly and nods, but before he can comment, my stomach lets out a loud grumble. "You need to eat."

He pulls me out of bed and hands me one of his shirts as he pulls on his pants from earlier. He sweeps me up and carries me downstairs, setting me down in my usual chair. As soon as he sits down, we pile our plates full of the warm food. Edward begins to tell me everything he has planned, from all the classes and vitamins he thinks I should take to all the names he has picked out already. I can't help but smile at his enthusiasm. He's so excited about being a father. I can't wait to see him in action.

After dinner, cleaning the kitchen, and taking a nice, long, hot shower together, I finally get to lay with my beautiful wife in my arms. She's sleeping soundly on her side with her back against my chest, molded together like always. I slip my hand up my shirt that she's wearing, splaying my hand over her belly.

My imagination runs wild, seeing my beautiful Bella lying in bed with her shirt pulled up over her big belly. She smiles over at me as our son starts kicking. She grabs my hand so I can feel it as we lay there in wonder.

All the excitement that I felt all day triples with that thought. I can't stop smiling and I know Bella would laugh at me if she could see my face. I can't help it. Everything is fucking perfect. So fucking perfect.

The End! Well, for this story. We still have one more story to go: The Matron Swan and the Cullen Offspring. As for when it's going to be posted: it won't be posted until I'm done writing it. No more waiting for chapters or writer's block or anything like that. As soon as the entire story is done, I'll start posting it once a week. I have no idea when that'll actually happen. I've got the first chapter kind of planned out in my head, but that's about as far it goes. Follow me on Twitter and that'll keep you updated (link in my profile). Also, I have no beta for the next story. So if someone has some free time on their hands and wants to do it, let me know. Urm… I think that's all that needs to be said… :D

I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. You peeps know the drill! Leave 'em if ya got 'em! *muah*
