Bella the Babysitter
Epilogue
Bella Swan POV
I was woken up by velvety soft touches across my ribs. Glancing over at the clock I realized that it was three thirty in the morning and smiled.
"Really?" I asked clearing the sleep out of my throat. "Again?"
"It's your fault. I can't get enough of you." my husband whispered, his hands going straight for my breasts under the sheer nightshirt I had thrown on after our last round of love making. "I'm insatiable."
"You took the words right out of my mouth." I groaned as he cupped my breasts, rubbing the ends of my pebbled nipples with his talented thumbs. "Must have been while you were kissing me."
"I know you did not just quote Meatloaf while I'm trying to seduce you." Edward laughed trying to pull away but I grabbed his hands and kept them where they were.
"Sorry, I couldn't help it." I giggled. "Please resume to the seducification of your wife."
"Seducification? Where the fuck did you come up with that?" he chuckled pinching my right nipple roughly earning a lust filled yelp from me.
"It's just a Bella Cullen original, write that down." I tried to turn around so that I could kiss him but he wouldn't let me.
Instead I gasped as his lips and mouth attacked the crook of my neck sucking and nipping me as his hands continued to torture my boobs. I started to rock back into him loving the feeling of his erection against me, knowing that I was the one to cause his arousal made me feel like super woman.
"Be patient love."
"Oh just get it over with all ready." I groaned trying to pry his hand from my innocent, well not so innocent nipple and down to where I wanted him most, where I was absolutely sopping and throbbing for him.
"Wow what a way with words."
"Eh, I try. Please?" I begged reaching behind me and trying to get a grip on him but he was entirely evasive. "Let me touch you. It's only fair."
"Who said I was going to be fair baby?" he chuckled darkly grabbing my shoulders and turning me so that I was flat on my back.
As soon as he moved to roll on top of me, I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled roughly at the baby fine hair. He groaned and practically ripped my nightgown from my body leaving the both of us completely naked. I spread my legs a little wider trying to get him where I wanted him but he ignored my needs and wants and attacked the tops of my breasts with his mouth.
Edward Cullen was definitely a boob man ladies and gentlemen, but I'm pretty sure I didn't need to point that out.
His tongue swirled around my flesh working me into frenzy before he even touched me where I ached for him the most. Before I could reach my peak he released my skin with a small pop.
"You better not have given me another hicky Edward Cullen." I gasped feeling his hardness on my thigh as he shifted.
"Hmm, and so what if I did?"
"You'll pay. And you'll have to answer the unwanted questions I'm sure to be asked."
"What if I make it worth your wild?" he asked rubbing his nose against mine as he adjusted his erection in between my wet folds.
"Then we might be able to come to an agreement. It won't be easy though so you might want to get to it." I shifted in an effort to take him in but he decided to tease me, rubbing against my clit once, twice before pressing just inside of me.
"Is that a challenge?" he asked, his voice laced with lust.
"God Edward please just fuck me already." he thrust into me quick and hard causing the both of us to moan rather loudly our sounds reverberating from the walls.
"You asked for it Mrs. Cullen." He groaned into my neck as he started pushing in and out of me without abandon. I held onto him while he worked us towards our releases moving my hips as best as I could despite the fact that he was practically smothering me. I couldn't' complain though, he knew I loved the feeling of him on top of me, the feeling of our skin pressed together so tightly that we almost became one.
"Oh god Edward. I'm so close." I moaned after only a few minutes.
"Just a little bit longer baby." he grunted picking up the pace and wrapping his arms around my back to pull me closer to him. "Almost there."
"No, oh I'm coming." I moaned as I practically convulsed under him my body seizing tightly as I felt him tense above me.
"Oh Bella." He grunted riding out his release.
We collapsed back onto the bed together gasping for air and clinging to each other despite the fact that we were sticky with sweat and other fluids. He rubbed my ribs soothingly where he had squeezed a little too tight in our excitement.
"Mama." I heard a soft murmur over the baby monitor and sighed.
"Well you finished just in time Mr. Cullen."
"Ugh it's your turn."
"Don't even start. I endured hours and hours of labor not to mention th-"
"Don't you even start. That doesn't count because it's not like it's by choice. Men can't have babies." Edward scoffed as the whimpering grew louder. "Besides she's eleven months, you can't play that shit forever."
"Yes I can. Until she moves out. Go get her please. I'll go make her a bottle." I yawned. "It's your fault you wore me out."
"Hmm, true." Edward wagged his eyebrows as he pulled on a pair of boxer briefs before walking out of the room.
It's hard to believe that we had been married for little over five years. Time flies when you're having fun that's for sure. Our lives weren't prefect but they weren't miserable either. We had our share of fights and drama but we also had our cute moments and an undeniable love.
I never went on birth control before our honey moon and as much as we hoped to come home the week after with an extra person aboard, making a baby was harder than expected. It's weird to think that some people accidentally get pregnant on the first shot but when Edward and I were trying, it took more than two years to succeed at making Lucas an older brother.
Bailey Renee was born the day before my first baby started second grade and he was not happy. The nurse had just helped me into the bathroom when Edward brought Lucas in to take a look at the new family member and for some reason out of pure genius decided to mention that they had to hurry to get to school on time. Lucas got emotional and started to cry causing his little sister to cry as well. We managed to calm him down and he called me the second he got out of school on his dad's phone informing me that his class had made Bailey a happy birthday card during craft time.
I made quick work preparing a bottle spurred on by the screams I could hear across the hall knowing that Bailey was a dramatic baby. If we were a couple of minutes late with a feeding she screamed as if we hadn't fed her in day. I rushed across the hall and popped the bottle into her mouth laughing at the impatient sigh and grunt she emitted as she fed.
"It's like magic." Edward whispered in awe.
"Yeah, you ready for another?" I asked covering the bottom half of Bailey's body and kissing her forehead before exiting the room and heading over to check and make sure Lucas hadn't woken up.
"Huh?" Edward asked yawning widely.
"We agreed that we wanted three remember?" I asked turning Lucas's TV off and his radio on.
He liked to sleep with sound, something he started after Bailey was born. I figured it was because he couldn't stand when the baby cried but Lucas just assured me that he liked to go to sleep and wake up to music.
"Yeah. I'm still up for it." Edward whispered picking up a few stray toys so that Luke wouldn't trip in the morning on his way to the bathroom.
"Up for what?" I asked pulling him into our bedroom.
"For the baby making process. I'm ready when you are." he pulled me into his arms but started yawning again. "Well, not tonight but after I've had a good night's sleep I'll be ready."
"There's nothing to get ready for." I said reaching into my nightstand and pulling out the black and white picture. I handed it to Edward figuring he'd get the hint but he just sat there with a dumb look on his face.
"What's this?" he asked.
"I was hoping that it was a seamonkey." I waved nonchalantly. "But the doctor said it was a baby. We can find out the sex in a couple of months if we want. I was thinking that we should get a second opinion after that just to make sure. I'd hate to have to raise a little boy named Victoria."
Bailey's cord had played a nasty little trick on us and when she was born both Edward and I were surprised when the doctor announced 'It's a girl'. She wore a pink onesie that Esme found in the gift shop at the hospital because our three day stay was mostly filled with shock that we had a little girl instead of the baby boy we'd prepared for.
Edward blinked a few times.
"You're pregnant?"
"Yep. Two months. Are you still up for it?" I smiled.
Edward came at me pulling me into his arms roughly and swinging me around. I laughed until I noticed that he was crying.
"Edward?" I ran my hand over his cheek.
"I'm just happy. You make me so happy." he kissed my cheek.
"Likewise daddy. Now let's go to bed, the baby will be up in a couple of hours and thanks to my horny husband I haven't had any sleep tonight." I joked laying down and burrowing into the pillows. Edward got under the covers and pulled me close to him and rubbed my stomach.
"I can't believe there's a baby in there."
"Believe it."
BTB~BTB
The following morning I was awoken by the familiar screams from the infant across the hall. Before I could untangle myself from Edward I heard the door across the hall open and shut and the small pitter patter of little feet before the nursery door opened and then shut.
"Alright little girl." Lucas cooed sleepily. "You need to take a major chill pill. Momma and daddy will be awake in a little bit."
I could hear Bailey start to calm down but then start crying again. Lucas sighed heavily and I heard something creak and shot out of the bed and across the hall.
"Lucas Edward you better not even think about taking her out of the crib by yourself." I scolded as I swung the door open.
Lucas held his hands up in shock and leaned against the lowered crib rack nonchalantly.
"Who me? No I'd never try to take Bailey out of her crib without an adult." he smiled. "Alright so I was gonna help you change her diaper momma. I'm sorry."
"It's alright baby." I leaned down and kissed his nose ruffling his wild fire red hair. "Let me get her on the changing table and you can help me still."
We made quick work to get Princess Bailey (the nickname was given once Lucas realized how demanding his little sister was) changed and downstairs. Lucas begged and pleaded to be allowed to feed his little sister her banana mush and cereal so I set them up at the table before starting the coffee and preheating the oven for the muffins I planned to make for breakfast. I had just pulled out the ingredients when I felt a warm arm slip around my waist.
"How are my babies this morning?" Edward asked rubbing my stomach with the pad of his thumb.
"We are fine. Lucas tried to get Bailey out of the crib by himself again, but I got there in time." I turned around and kissed his lips. "How are you?"
"Elated, excited, overjoyed." he finished each word with a kiss. "When are you planning on meeting the girls today?"
"As soon as I finish breakfast, shower and get ready. What are the three of you going to do while I'm gone?"
"Oh I dunno, I thought about pulling out my old BB gun and teaching Lucas how to shoot. Then I was going to pull out my old chemistry set and teach them how to make meth." Edward shrugged earning a harsh slap to the chest. "I'm kidding, we'll probably go out back and play. I have to attach Bailey's swing to the swing set today so I'll be busy doing that while Lucas entertains her."
"Make sure Lucas doesn't let Sushi get too close to Bailey. She might be declawed but she can still bite." I commented making quick work of the muffin mix.
Sushi was a small fat ball of fluff. Lucas and I had been walking down the strip mall one afternoon when we happened upon an old woman with a cardboard box full of mewing little flea bags. I said no, Lucas gave me his signature puppy dog eyes. I said absolutely not, Lucas hugged himself around my legs and started to cry. I said I'd talk to his father about it and Lucas walked over to the box and pulled out the ugliest little cat I'd ever seen in my life and placed her into my hands. We ended up blowing entirely too much money at a pet store and Edward teased me mercilessly for weeks about how I gave in.
"Of course Bella." Edward chuckled. "Go shower so you can get out of here, your sort of annoying when you have things to do."
"Fine." I huffed playfully and set the muffins in the oven before rushing upstairs.
Thirty minutes later I was sitting in the middle of a small café waiting for the girls to arrive.
"Auntie Bewa." could be heard as soon as the door opened. I braced myself for Lacey knowing that when she was excited she could knock me out of my damn chair.
"Hi Lacey-poo how are we doing today?" I asked hugging her tightly.
"I's good. Momma said I get hot cocoa." she beamed.
"Really?"
"Really." Alice huffed sitting across from me. "As if she needs any more sugar in her hyperactive system."
"Then why'd you give in?" I smirked as Lacey settled her small body in my lap.
"Because she's just so adorable." Alice laughed winking at her five year old.
After arriving back from the honeymoon I found out that when Alice was eighteen she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. It made sense to things I had noticed before. Alice couldn't go into hospitals and had to take a giant handful of pills everyday because she had a very low immune system and to regulate her hormones. The cancer almost killed her and she even broke up with Jasper because she didn't want him to be around when she got sicker. The night she shaved her head because she didn't want to have to go through the heartbreak when she went through her chemo, Jasper climbed up to her bedroom and promised her that he would be by her side no matter what. When the doctors decided that a hysterectomy was in order, Jasper was the last thing she saw before she went under anesthesia and the first thing she saw when she woke up.
They were married down at the local court house the day after she was released from the hospital.
About a year ago she called me absolutely hysterical and I had no choice but to climb my pregnant ass into my truck and drive over to her house to find her freaking out on the front porch holding a giant envelope to her chest. I hadn't known that she and Jasper had applied for adoption so to say I was surprised when she shoved the paper in my hands informing them that they were being given the five year old. Two and a half weeks later, we had a welcoming party for Lacey Joy Whitlock. She had spent her entire life in an orphanage and took to Jasper and Alice immediately, calling them mommy and daddy. She and Lucas were best friends from the first day they met.
Lacy was a dark haired beauty, she had olive toned skin from her Indian roots and wide almond shaped brown eyes. She had recently lost all four of her front teeth so she talked with the cutest little lisp and was unable to say her R's and L's correctly.
"Sorry we're late." I heard before the chair next to me slid out and Rose plopped herself down careful not to tussle the newborn attached to her chest with a sling. "Avery wouldn't let me put him down for a nap. Something about almost six year olds don't need naps. Emmett still has a cold so I wanted Avery to go down before I left so that he could sleep a little bit. Dillon went down like that though, naturally." she snapped her fingers.
"It's fine, Alice and Lacey just got here." I hugged her from the side.
It took me a long time to call Rose and she allowed me to have the time I needed. I didn't meet the twins until they were three months old and as much as I regret not being there for her and Emmett; we all realized that the separation was actually good for us. We weren't as close as we were before I moved out of the apartment to work for Edward, but that was okay with us. Little Emma Lynn started to coo from her cocoon. As much as a surprise Avery and Dillon had been for Emmett and Rose, Emma Lynn was planned and prepared for and the light of the big bear's eye.
"So did you tell Edward?" Rose asked taking the baby from her chest and placing a bottle into her mouth.
"Tell Edward what?" Alice asked as she sat back down with a tray of drinks.
I laughed as she placed three ice cubes into Lacey's hot chocolate before handing it to her. She then added two artificial sweeteners into her and Rose's coffees before opening a plastic spoon and placing it in my cappuccino and sliding it over towards me so that I could eat the froth.
"About the baby." I smiled as Lacey bit into her giant muffin and groaned.
"You're pregnant?" Alice squealed jumping out of her chair and rushing over to me. "Oh I'm so happy for you."
"Alice sit you A-S-S down." Rose scolded. "Everyone is staring."
"Sorry." Alice pulled away before turning to the nosey people. "I'm sorry for causing a scene. I just found out I'm going to be an aunt again. Eeep."
No one cared what she was talking about as they turned back to what they were doing before she started squealing and that caused me to laugh.
"Some people are so rude." Alice muttered sitting back in her chair. "So how come you didn't tell me?"
I could see the question in her eye. Why did Rose find out before her? Alice and I were a lot closer and not just through marriage.
"Because I was at the doctor's office getting my check up when Bella found out. We ran into each other as we were leaving and I could tell from the look on her face." Rose assured Alice obviously feeling the tension.
"Oh."
We finished our coffees and made plans to meet up the following week same time same place. I ran by the grocery store to get all of the things I needed for Lucas's party at school. Forty five cupcakes and yours truly had to bake and decorate each and every one of them.
I was weighed down with bags as I walked through the front door and was more than surprised to find the house completely silent. After dropping off all of the groceries in the kitchen and putting up the perishables I went out back to find my family napping under the big tree. Edward was leaning back against the trunk and Lucas was cuddled up to his side, little Bailey was curled up in Edward's lap. I ran back inside and got my camera before snapping a couple of shots of my family.
I decided that the cupcakes could wait an hour or two and kicked my shoes off before cuddling up to Edward's vacant side.
"Hmm," he stirred.
"Hey I'm back." I kissed his jaw.
"Did you have fun?"
"Yeah, it's nice to get out and spend some time with the two of them every once and a while. I missed you guys though." I yawned burrowing my face into his chest. We fell asleep under the tree and woke up an hour later to the shrill cry of the starving baby.
Lucas looked up at me with a smirk on his face despite the fact that he was woken up during his nap.
"Hi momma."
"Hi baby."
"I'm not a baby." He grumbled.
"On the contrary you will always be my baby. Even when your old and married and have kids of your own." I wrapped my arms around his shoulders. "So get used to it and wipe that scowl off your face."
"Do I get to open a present tonight?" he asked giving me a sweet look.
"No, your birthday isn't until tomorrow."
"But it's like Christmas. It's my birthday eve." he pulled out the puppy dog eyes and I braced myself.
"Nice try mister." I covered his face with my hand. "You get to help me bake the cupcakes for your class tonight though. And if you're lucky, I'll let you lick the bowl."
"Really?" He beamed running toward the house before turning back. "You're the best momma."
Tears sprang to my eyes and Edward wrapped his arm around my shoulders. "He's right. You are the best momma. The best momma, the best wife, the best Bella. I love you."
"I love you too." I chocked out.
"And I love you both but come on we've got loads of cupcakes to bake." Lucas demanded from the porch.
Later that night I was sitting in front of Edward's lap top proofreading his latest article before he sent it off. I had started doing it for him once or twice and now it was just a habit. Just like the first time I'd pre-read it for him, there was a small notation at the bottom of the article for me.
Bella Cullen, I love you more than words can describe. You're the mother of my children and the love of my life and I thank god each and every day that you showed up on my doorstep when I needed you the most. Like I said earlier, you're the best person, the best momma, wife, Bella and babysitter. Now dry the tears I know are pouring down your perfect cheeks and come downstairs and spend some time with me beautiful. Love, your husband.
Grabbing a couple of tissues I did as instructed before shutting the office light off and heading downstairs to find my boss, my partner and my reason for living.
