I started typing this about a month ago. I figure I should finish it before I fly out for vacation! It isn't much, but we went big now it is wrap up tidy and nice time. Just a tiny peek into how and what they are doing.
ENJOY :-)
Chapter 40
Epilogue
End of June 2015
He wraps his arms around her after sneaking up on her in the kitchen. It was no easy task, four kids in the house, four kids he had to pass in order to get to his heavily pregnant wife.
Bella sighs. "Hey"
"Hey yourself" He nuzzles her neck, his hands rub up and down her completely round stomach. "How was your day?"
"I'm selling the kids" They are out of school for the summer now and it is week two. She is 8 months pregnant and has had enough.
Edward snorts, he nips her ear lobe making her moan. The fourth time around is completely different. With Masen they were all over the place, making sure everything was ready and perfect. With Paget they were slightly laid back, with Ava they were barely a unit. This time around they are completely relaxed and ready.
She loves that the kids are older. They have been in Forks for two years now. Masen and Lucy celebrated their 10th birthday, Paget went a bouncing 7, and Ava turned into a perfect 5 year back in January.
Life is really good; the kids are so excited about the new baby. The whole family is excited. Bella is handling it so well, graceful, and flawless. She goes 36 later this year and feels amazing. Tipping her head to the side she lets him have full nibble room. Giggling a bit she moans softly. "Edward, you have to stop"
His hand rub over their baby, he laughs when their baby kicks his hands away.
"She says stop too"
"You think a she now?" He moans rubbing his nose against her skin.
"Yeah"
Pulling back he leans against the counter next to her and watches her glance at him while she mixes whatever she is making. It smells amazing whatever it is. "How was your day?"
"Long" She glances at him and smiles. "You?"
"Long, I'm glad that I'm here now" He tells her gently. "Glad it is the weekend, glad I'm home with you and the kids"
Smiling she blushes at his words. His words still make her go weak in the knees and cause butterflies to dance around her heart. They haven't had it easy, but over the years it is gotten easier to let go and live the life path they were dealt.
Aro has not been a problem since those few years ago. She knows he won't be any longer. Edward has been promoted at his small Port Angeles firm. He is happy with his job. She is happy that he is happy.
The children are amazing, their family. Charlie and Sue are such a big part of their lives. Esme and Carlisle drive up once a month and spent the weekend with the kids, and every other month they spend the weekend with the kids without her and Edward. That is how this one, the last one, was created. The two take a trip to the city and stay in their home which has not been rented out.
They are making ends meet with the help of Carlisle and Esme; they owe a lot to them, really.
"Mommy…Daddy?" Ava frowns. "When did you get home Daddy?"
"A little bit ago" Edward lifts his youngest daughter up and kisses her forehead. She is still such a snuggler. She wiggles completely against his chest and rests her body heavily on his. He welcomes the weight.
Bella glances at the two of them for a moment before bringing her attention back to dinner. She lifts the pot, and moves some pans while Edward and Ava chat together.
Dinner is relaxed and easy. The children chat to each other, and their parents. Edward is on bath duty for Ava and Paget. Paget has insisted that she can take showers now like Masen and Lucy. Edward is weary his baby is growing up too fast. Bella thoughtfully reminded him that she is having another so not to worry.
"You are so beautiful" He smiles stepping into their bedroom.
She smiles over her naked shoulder. "I have the figure of a whale, but thank you"
Edward walks over to her and wraps his arms around her body; they push up her heavy breasts and settle around her. He stares ahead looking at nothing, holding her. His chin rests on her shoulder. "You don't look like a whale to me"
Bella smiles and tips her head to the side, she sighs softly. Her hand strokes atop of his. "I was undressing to shower, join me?" She says turning her head and nuzzling his cheek and chin.
Bella laughs as they slowly wash each other and play around in the shower. He helps her out when they are fully clean.
Edward wraps a towel around his middle and then over her shoulders, he dries her belly off and her back smiling and talking to her and their baby as he goes.
Both settle into bed under the cool sheet, damp hair wetting the pillows, he holds her close.
Bella laughs and places a kiss to his naked warm chest.
"What?"
"Nothing"
"So did you pick your name choice yet?" He touches the swell of her belly. They have 4 weeks to go, Bella has 4 weeks to go. He knows she is ready. He is glad she won't be pregnant over the summer. The timing is nice because the kids will be home to 'help' out and she doesn't have to worry about carting them around. They have a few camp activities here and there but Sue is happy to step in when needed.
"No, but Ava has told me, she wants the baby to be called 'Barbie" She pauses for effect. "Doll'" Bella says trying not to laugh at her 5 year old daughter's name choice.
Edward turns his head and face into her neck and snorts at the name choice.
She strokes her fingers into his hair and laughs along with him. "I told her not a chance"
"What did she say?"
"She pouted for two hours" Bella rolls her eyes. "That was my day" She informs him.
"Would you change it?" He whispers lifting his head, her fingers drop from his hair. "Change this?" He would have changed so many things years ago but looking at how they are now. He doesn't know anymore if he would.
"Never" She whispers before sliding her hand up the side of his neck and pulling his head so their mouths meet. "Never" She whispers before resuming the kiss, a kiss that will take them through the next 60 years together.
Edward pulls back a moment and smiles at her.
That is the end my friends.
Thanks for all the support and kind words. This was my 1st story on FFnet even though I am JUST finishing it. It was the 'baby'.
So thank you again.
-Cheers!
PS: Shall we try and make it to 450?
