Remember 22

Chapter 22

Bell's POV

"Just close your eyes, rest for a while. We'll be there soon enough."

Flying always tires me out, and it seems even worse being pregnant. I take Edward's advice and close my eyes.

Green blurs around me as this incredible feeling of being free and powerful courses through me. I'm running unbelievably fast, and I laugh. I hear a chuckle beside me and turn to find Edward running just as fast with me. It's definitely my Edward, but there's something different about him, he seems paler, and his beautiful green eyes are a butterscotch color instead.

"Edward," I smile at him when a mischievous smile plays at his lips. He literally tackles me to the ground, and though I expect it to hurt, it doesn't. We land in a field of green, blue, purple and yellow, it's beautiful, but the man hovering above me distracts me from it all.

I reach out and touch his face, tracing his cheekbone, just under his eyes. The clouds above us break, and the sun shines down on us. The most beautiful sight lights up before me... Edward looks like a diamond, sparkling.

Magnificent.

"What are you?" I hear myself whisper in awe.

Edward chuckles, again, "We're the same," he says, showing me our laced fingers. And he's right, we are the same. "We're vampires."

He leans down and kisses me with so much force and passion, I want more. I pull him closer and wrap my legs around him. I need more.

"Hey, I knew you would distract her," Alice says in a song-song voice. "Come on, you two can make up for it later." And with a slight swoosh, Alice was gone.

Edward laughs but hops up and offers me a hand. Together we run after Alice. It's strange, it's almost like I can still hear her, smell her. We come up to a large glass house and stop. Alice is inside already and so is everyone else. But there's this sound, a strange fluttering that is beautiful to me for some reason.

"What is that sound?" I ask.

"Come, find out." Edward pulls me along. He let's go of me the second we're inside and goes ahead of me. I watch as he picks up a small child. "Bella, come meet her."

"Her?" I can hear myself asking.

"Bella?" Edward says but sounds muffled. "Bella ... Bella, love, we're here."

I open my eyes to see I'm surrounded by green, and I sit up a little more.

"What were you dreaming about?" Edward asks.

I look around, "You, and vampires."

He laughs, "Tell me about it?"

"We were vampires, we were running through a thick green forest." I look around again, "Alice was one too, and she came to get us, so that..." I stop.

"So that, what?" Edward asks, taking my hand in his.

I smile, "I think she was taking me to meet our daughter."

"Really, what did she look like?"

I shrug, "You woke me up before I could see her."

"Sorry," he leans over to kiss me, "But we're here now."

"Where are we?"

"Home, Bella, we're home." My mouth drops when the house from my dreams comes into view.

"Do you like it?" He asks.

I nod, "I thought we were moving to Seattle,"

He shrugs, "I wanted you to be closer to Charlie. Down that way, you'll find Alice and Jasper's place and that way Carlisle and Esme's; they all want to stay close."

"This is perfect," I smile, ready to see the house.

-9 months pregnant-

"I really wish you two would have found out if you're having a girl or boy. Things would be so much easier." Alice complains.

I smile down at my giant belly as my little one again starts moving.

I say my belly is giant, but honestly, it looks like I have a basketball hiding under my shirt. Esme says I'm all belly and lucky for that.

"Is the baby moving?" Esme asks. I nod and reach for her hand so she can feel. "Oh, hi little baby, it's your aunty." Esme gushes. "You know you're due any day now. He or she could be getting ready and in position."

I nod, "I just went to the doctor the other day. They said the baby is defiantly getting ready."

"Have you heard from the guys?" Alice asks.

I nod, "Edward says they'll be here tomorrow...he hopes."

Esme pats my cheek, "I'm sure they will."

"What I don't understand is why they didn't take goofus with them." Just as Alice speaks, Emmett walks through the kitchen door. He's been vegged out in my living room the past two days.

"Someone needed to watch you girls, and I volunteered," Emmett says proudly.

"We don't need any babysitters, we can handle ourselves just fine," Alice says sticking her tongue out at him.

I laugh as the two bicker back and forth when a pain hits in my lower back. I make a face and try to rub it out.

"Are you all right, Bella? Braxton Hicks?" Esme asks, getting the attention of the others.

I nod, "I think so?"

"How about Emmett takes you to the living room. Put your feet up for a while and relax," Esme says, and Emmett is right beside me in an instant.

"How's my baby niece or nephew?" Emmett asks, placing an arm around my waist and helping me down the hall and into the living room. I smile at the dork when another contraction hits. "Are you okay?" Emmett asks, holding me upright.

I nod. "I just need to sit for a minute. I was having some of these last night, and the doctor says it's normal." Just as I'm about to sit, a strange, warm feeling happens between my legs and then the sound of something being spilled on the hardwood floors follow.

"What was that?" Emmett asks.

I look down at my feet, which I can barely see and then back up at him. That's when another contraction hits and I double over. "Emmett, go get Esme." I pant.

He looks panicked for a few seconds, his eyes going between mine, my belly, and I'm pretty sure down to my wet leggings. "Emmett!" I shout, making him jump. "I need help."

"Right, sorry, I'm going." He says.

The second he disappears I pull my cell phone out and call the number I'm only supposed to call if there's an emergency.

The line picks up on the first ring, "Bella?" Edward answers.

"Yeah, it's me," I tell him as I stare down at my feet.

"What's wrong, are you okay?" He asks, and you can hear the slight panic in his voice.

I smile, "Yeah, no. I'm okay, I just ... My water just broke, and Emmett is going to get Esme."

He's quiet on the other line, dead quiet for almost a good minute before he starts yelling at the others.

"So, it's time, you're going to have the baby?" Edward asks.

"Yeah, the baby is coming so you better hurry up."

"Bella says her water broke." I can hear Edward telling someone, and he sounds panicked. "Don't tell me to fucking calm down!" he shouts making me laugh.

"Ow, ow, ow," I say as another smaller contraction tightens my back.

"Bella, baby, are you okay?" Edward asks in a completely different tone. "We're heading back to you right now; do you think you'll have the baby within the hour?"

I shake my head, "I don't know, but hurry Edward, I need you here." I tell him just as Esme, Emmett, and Alice come flying into the room.

"Emmett said you peed yourself."

"I'm going to kill him," I mumble.

"Who?" Edward asks.

"Your brother, he told Esme I peed myself."

Edward laughs, "He's an idiot, you can't hold that against him."

"Your water broke. Emmett, go get the car, and Alice grab Bella's hospital bag." Esme starts giving orders, thank God. Everyone rushes off to do what they're told, and Esme rushes to my side, "Is that Edward?"

I nod, "It is."

"Tell him he better hurry, there's no telling if this baby will take their time or just come right out."

"I'm on my way, I'll see you in less than an hour." Edward says, "I love you, baby."

I smile, "I love you, too, Edward." I say before hanging up.

Emmett pulls the car around front, and Alice is bounding down the stairs with my hospital bag and the diaper bag that we packed just for this occasion. "All ready!" Alice says excitedly.

"Let's go have this baby," Esme says, squeezing my hand.

Once I'm checked into the hospital things start to slow down, the contractions are still too far apart but getting closer. I call my dad and let him know where I am, and he's on his way. I called my mom to tell her too. She and Phil are taking the next flight out. I text Edward to let him know how I'm doing and he assures me that he will be here one way or another.

Esme and Alice stay by my side the entire time, Charlie and Emmett hang out in a waiting room just down the hall. It makes me nervous to leave Emmett with my father, but Esme promised that he'd behave even though I can hear Emmett or Charlie burst out laughing every now and then. The second Carlisle gets here I'll feel better because I know he'll keep Emmett in line. Now my father knows a lot but he doesn't know everything, and I'm afraid Emmett will say the wrong thing.

As the time goes on my contractions become closer, but still no Edward and that might scare me more than Emmett opening his big mouth to my father about their lifestyle. Before I know it, the doctor is coming in to do another check, my contractions are much closer, and she decides to check how far dilated I am.

"Okay, Bella, you're almost at a nine, we're going to get you your epidural, and everything else set up so that you can meet this little baby of yours."

I look to Esme. "I'll call him." She says, stepping out.

I smile sadly at my doctor, "My boyfriend is on his way, he really doesn't want to miss this but he just might." I say.

"Who knows, miracles happen every day." She smiles back and then heads out of the room.

A flurry of motion starts and honestly, I'm getting more and more nervous by the second. Edward hasn't arrived, and they have a few nurses in here along with the guy who oversees my epidural and administering the medication. Alice books it, saying something about not wanting to be scared for life.

Esme stays by my side though, and I'm thankful for that.

"I promise I won't leave you until Edward gets here." She says, squeezing my hand.

I nod in agreement, I want it to be just Edward, but if he can't be here, Esme is the next best thing.

"Okay, Bella, we're going to get your legs propped up right here and then we'll start having this baby." I look to Esme ... Okay, I'm officially terrified.

"It's okay, Bella, we're going to get through this." She says comfortingly.

"Wait, move out of my fucking way, I'm here!" I hear shouting down the hall, "Where the fuck is she?"

"Edward?" I call out.

"Bella, I'm here!" He says running into the room, "Oh thank fuck, I'm here, did you have the baby yet?"

I smile, tears springing to my eyes, "No, you're just on time." I tell him.

"I'll be in the hall," Esme says, pausing to give Edward a hug.

He comes to my side where Esme had been and leans down to kiss me. "You look beautiful," Edward says.

I laugh, "I don't think so."

"I do." He says, "Let's have this baby."

After a couple of hours of pushing, screaming in pain, and pushing some more, we finally hear an incredible cry and a gasp around the room.

You can tell the nurses and doctors are smiling even behind their surgical masks.

"He is absolutely beautiful." The doc says, making tears spring to my eyes.

"A boy, we have a boy?" Edward asks as the doctor holds up the baby for us to see. "We have a boy!"

I can hear Esme squeal, but we've decided, we won't tell anyone else until they come in to see the baby, but with Edward shouting, I wouldn't be surprised if they all don't already know.

"Masen Anthony Cullen," I say taking my baby in my arms for the first time. "He's perfect."

After we're all cleaned and taken care of, we're moved to another room. Edward won't leave our side, and he's wearing the biggest grin as he stares at our son.

"I would have loved him even if he was a girl but I'm so fucking happy." He says, kissing my head.

I nod, "I'm happy, too."

"Are you ready for some guests?" Edward asks.

"Sure, why not." I say, "Can you get my dad?"

When Edward comes back, he has Charlie and Esme.

"Well, what did we have?" Charlie asks. "Oh, blue, Masen?"

I nod, "Yes, Masen Anthony Cullen."

Charlie's mustache twitches, "What's wrong Grandpa?"

"Cullen?" He asks, looking at Edward.

I nod, "Cullen, do you have a problem with that?"

He grunts, "Well, no, I guess not." He says, and then he smiles. "He sure is one good looking kid, Bells."

"He's beautiful!" Esme says, eyes misty with tears.

"Who wants to hold him first?" I ask.

"Oh, let Charlie, I'll never let him go otherwise," Esme says.

I watch Charlie awkwardly take his grandson, and I can't help but smile,

"What," he grumps. I'm out of practice, I haven't held a baby since ...well, you." He says looking back to me.

I shake my head, "You're looking great, Grandpa."

He glares, "How about Pops?"

"Whatever you want."

Esme was serious, once she got Masen, she couldn't go, so when Charlie left he sent back only one, Carlisle. I was a tad nervous with him in the room, but he couldn't take his eyes off his wife and my baby, his great-nephew.

Luckily when he leaves, he manages to take his wife with him. Alice and Jasper, Emmett and James, they all slowly made their way over to see me, or well ... baby, Masen. When the day was finally done and over with I was happy and content with my baby in my arms, Edward by my side.

I yawn, "Are you okay, I can take him for a little while so that you can rest."

I nod and gently place Masen in Edward's arms, it doesn't' take long for my heavy eyes to fall shut.

2 years later

"Baby, I'm home!" Edward calls out as he enters the house.

"Da-da!" Masen squeals and crawls racing towards the door. "Da-da-da-da-da." Masen goes on until Edward scoops him off the floor. Masen looks so much like Edward already, the green eyes; the shape of his lips the wildness of his hair. But I do see me in there too; the color of his hair, his nose. Edward insists that he also has my attitude. I flipped him off, and Masen giggled.

"My baby boy, how's my buddy?" Edward asks, kissing his head, "Where's Mom?"

I love watching them together, they're so amazing.

"Ma," Masen looks to where I stand in the hallway, watching them.

Edward gives me that crooked grin, and it sends my heart racing. I'll never get over this feeling.

"Are you ready to go?" Edward asks.

I nod, "Let me just get his diaper bag." I say turning back down the hall and heading for Masen's room. Tonight, we're going out just the two of us, it's been a few months since we've actually gone on a date and Edward insisted. I'm okay spending time with just Edward.

I love my boys, but I must admit that I'm happy to spend it with just one of them tonight.

Once I have everything, we head out the door. We're dropping Masen off with Esme tonight. She's excited, she says we need to leave him with her more. I know he's in great hands with her and Carlisle.

"Where are we going?" I ask after we leave the house.

"It's a surprise," Edward says. "I've been working on it all day."

"I know, you've been gone all day." I tease him.

He laces our fingers together and kisses my knuckles, "I want tonight to be perfect."

I smile and am completely content to sit here and let Edward take me wherever he may want, just as long as we're together.

It's dark when we pull up to a cabin in the middle of nowhere. I know I say cabin, but honestly, it's like another little home. Not as big as ours, but it definitely has more room in it than a regular size cabin, and it's completely lit up in a warm, soft glow.

It looks beautiful, magical.

"Come on," Edward says, opening his door and rushing around to mine.

I feel nervous suddenly, but I let Edward take me from the car and lead me up the pathway. Once inside it's cozy warm and smells amazing ... like food.

"Do you need anything?" He asks, I shake my head no, and let him lead me to a dining room to find everything is already set, piping hot and waiting to be served,. "Alice helped; she left just before we got here." He explains.

"Please tell me you didn't let Alice cook," I tell him.

He laughs, "I don't feel like be poisoned tonight. No, I did the cooking, she just helped set the place up and made sure everything stayed warm."

"Good, it smells amazing." I tell him, "Thank you."

We sit down to eat and even though everything looks and smells delicious I can't eat very much, I'm too preoccupied with how good Edward looks. We have sex, but a lot of times we're exhausted, or it's quickie sex. But right now, there's nothing to disturb us at all. We could fuck right here on the dining room table.

"What are you thinking about?" Edward asks, "You're almost drooling."

I smirk, "You."

His eyes turn dark, "Mm, are you done?"

I nod and stand when Edward does, he takes our wine glasses with us and the bottle even though I haven't touched my wine, and we head into a den. I sit down and pull off my shoes to make myself more comfortable, and Edward sets everything down.

"Ugh, I can't wait any longer." He says, looking nervous.

I watch him, unsure about his rambles. "What's wrong?" I ask him.

He shakes his head, "Absolutely nothing." He says, getting to one knee. I sit up straight as he brings out a black velvet box. "Isabella Swan, you've given me everything I never knew I wanted ... needed. You've brought purpose and happiness into my life, and I never want to spend another minute of that life without you being permanently inside of it. You're strong, beautiful, smart and sexy…you're my son's mother, you're all that I want. Will you marry me?"

I-I…holy shit, "Yes!" I say excited, "Yes, I'll marry you!"

He smiles so big and nods, "Yeah?"

"Yes, you idiot, I said it twice." I laugh, and he playfully glares at me, but he slides the ring on my finger, a perfect fit, beautiful. Three diamonds, one large and two smaller, princess cut. It's perfect.

"I love it." I tell him, "I love you." I say before pulling him to me for a kiss. I feel his hands on my thighs and a feeling of electricity runs through me as his hands move up, closer to my waist. His thumbs add pressure near my inner thigh, and the feeling makes me squirm. I run my fingers through his thick hair and pull him impossibly closer.

I wanted him, needed him in every way possible, my soon to be husband.

He lays me back on the couch and hovers over me, his hands moving tortuously slow, deliciously right. He has me like a puddle of goo, just for him. I reach down his body to unbutton his shirt and the second the last button was undone, he was yanking it off. I have no problem with this; I get to touch him, like he's touching me, in all the right places.

I run my fingers up his chest, over his nipples, which makes him hiss and then up and over his shoulders before heading for his hair again. I tug on his locks, and he groans, so sexy I can feel it run through his chest before leaving his lips. His hands push my shirt up, and I sit up enough for him to take it off and fling it elsewhere.

When I meet his eyes, smoldering green fire, a pit in my tummy forms and it consumes me like wildfire. He slips his hand under me, and I arch my back so he can reach where he's heading. He unhooks my bra and slowly slides it down my body, off my arms and on to the floor. My body is covered in goose bumps.

Suddenly, without warning, Edward lifts us up from the couch, and I wrap myself around him as he carries me down a hall and into a cozy bedroom with a giant bed. That's all I get to notice as Edward has demanded all my attention at the moment. He unbuttons my jeans and pulls them slowly off, leaving me in my best black lacy panties. He leans away from me, and a smirk graces his beautiful lips, I watch as he unbuckles his belt.

Is it possible that this right here could be considered sexy? The way he's watching me, the way he's moving, it's god-like sexy. I rub my thighs together, waiting ... wanting him to stop with the torture and yet I can't seem to form the words. His jeans hit the floor with a light thud, and when I look down his body, I notice he's fully naked. I scoot back away from him, and he pouts.

I smirk.

"Please?" I whisper, reaching for him. His fingers lace with mine as he climbs back on to the bed and climbs over me.

"Please what?" Edward asks, now with his own smirk.

"I need you," I whisper, his lips ghost across my collarbone before finding purchase on my neck. I wrap my legs around his waist and curse my panties that are still on. I feel Edward hook his thumbs under them and slowly he pulls them away from me.

He doesn't' take his time anymore; it's like the hunger has finally hit him as hard as it's been with me. I pull him to me, I hold him close as he enters me and together we make love ... raw, passionate love.

In the morning, I find Edward sprawled out next to me, his arm and leg draped over me. I smile as I stretch my body, a familiar ache between my legs is a welcomed feeling. The last couple of times we've had sex it was always rough and quick. It got the job done, we both got ours, but last night, I really needed that.

I manage to get out of bed without waking Edward and head for the bathroom first. I find a robe and toothbrush, and afterward, I head for the dining room to clean up. When I bring in the wine glasses, mine is still full, and Edward's is half gone. Just then he walks into the kitchen, only boxers on and a major case of bedhead.

"Good morning, beautiful." Edward kisses my forehead before taking the bottle away from me. "We didn't really drink much last night, did we?" he asks.

I shake my head, "No, not really."

He looks at the counter where I set down the glasses. "You didn't drink at all."

I shrug, "I can't."

"What do you mean you can't?" he asks, taking a swig from the bottle.

I turn to him, "I can't because I'm pregnant."

That one gets his attention, and he sets down the bottle. "Are you serious?" He asks, and I nod with a smile on my face. "We're having another baby?" His own smile has grown.

"We're having another baby," I confirm as Edward sweeps me off my feet.

"Ah, baby, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Edward says as he lays kisses all over my face making me giggle.

Our life may have started at a tragic place, and at first, I couldn't remember a single thing. But eventually, I did, and an overwhelming amount of anger filled me. This tragedy forced us together for vengeance, but now, things are falling into place, and even though we met the way we did, I wouldn't change a single thing.

I have my boys and a new baby on the way.

I have a family I love dearly and would do anything for, and they'd do anything for me.

Life is pretty great.

That's one thing I'll always remember.

The End.
