"... You're going to love it, I know it! I can't wait to see your reactions! If you both get attached to this layout, we can always recreate it when we get back home."

Alice had been talking my ear off for the past ten minutes about the nurseries near completion. I had been trying to get a peak at the finished picture through the girls thoughts but they were successfully blocking me from seeing.

We were waiting on Bella from another one of her many human moments, sitting in the living room chatting. Rosalie and Esme were upstairs putting their finishing touches to the room while Carlisle sat reading up on various medical techniques to make the birth easier. Jasper and Emmett were hunting on the mainland in preparation.

It had been 7 minutes since Bella entered the bathroom and I was beginning to get impatient. I hated not being able to see and feel my Bella near me. It makes me anxious to have her out of my sight for too long, and 7 minutes was definitely too long.

"Jeeez Edward calm down. She will be out in 34 seconds. She's just about to wash her hands. As I was saying, the colour scheme is suited to either boy or girl so don't worry. We can always decorate the..."Zoning her excited babbling out, I focused on the bathroom door and waited for my love to emerge.

Exactly 34 seconds later the door slowly opened revealing my very hot and bothered goddess. 8 days had passed on Isle Esme and Bella seemed to be around 8 months along from the measurements taken earlier today. Her movements had become more sluggish and laboured as her expanding bump started weighing her down. Luckily she no longer complained about me carrying her places or offering cushions and extra comfort. She was putting on a brave face for us all but we could see how uncomfortable she was beginning to feel. I wished there was some way I could help.

Pulling her down next to me on the sofa, I fluffed up her cushions and rearranged them comfortably behind her back. Sighing in relief she snuggled into my side, pressing her heated face into my cool chest and wrapping her arms around my waist. My coldness was a god send for Bella in these hot conditions. Last night when she had asked me to take off my shirt in bed, I had panicked, worrying I would have to explain myself again on not being intimate. Thankfully her reasoning of wanting to feel my cool skin more closely to her overheated body was understandable. Of course I had instantly obliged. Anything to make my wife more comfortable. It took all of my 100 years of self restraint to control myself when she stripped down to just her panties and fitted herself to my shape. It seemed her ideas on intimacy flew out the window as her discomfort grew and the temperature finally started getting to her. As she slept happily cooled down by my body, I had recited the alphabet in Portuguese, Italian and German in order to calm myself down. It took a few hours but I finally managed to get rid of some of my more xrated fantasies and enjoy holding my Bella as she slept.

This morning when she woke up, I gave her a long sensuous kiss and treated my hands to giving her a long soothing back rub. Hearing her moan as my hands found the troublesome knots in her back did not help my control, but it made her feel better, so it was definitely worth it. Besides when she excused herself to take a shower, I'd used the other bathroom for a long cold shower of my own.

Now it was four O'clock and we were waiting for the girls to call us when they were finished upstairs. Bella was excited to see the place our baby would be spending its first few weeks of life. I was more excited for Bella's reaction. I knew whatever my mother and sisters had done would be amazing and couldn't wait to see.
