Okay, so here it is. The sequel for A Nerd Story of Love. I don't own any of this. The only thing I do own is the plot to the story and a very cool 'Geekward' mug. I'm planning on keeping the story lighthearted as can be, but there will be angsty moments. I will post warnings in the author's notes at the beginning of the chapters for fair warning.
Thanks for everyone who's faved, reviewed or read my story. I love writing SGB and Nerdella and I'm so happy that you all love them too.
Chapter Twenty-Five: Courtroom Drama
BPOV
"Bella, how are you decorating the nursery for Owen?" asked a still gimpy Alex. "Do you need help?"
"Like you can do anything," I teased as I finished feeding Kyra. Alex scowled at me and adjusted his injured leg on the couch. "Was that good my principessa?"
"Mo!" she giggled. "Pease."
"You are such a little piglet," I said as I scooped her up. I placed her in Alex's lap and cleaned up her lunch, strained squash. It's the color of baby poop. How can that be appetizing? "And to answer your question, Alex, no we haven't made any decisions for Owen's nursery other than not paint the walls blue. Edward and I want Owen to have a boy's room without shoving blue down the child's throat." I laid my hand on my belly and Owen kicked soundly. "Yes, no blue, baby boy."
"Did he kick?" Matthew asked from his spot near the stove. He was making some lunch for us while I fed Kyra and entertained a very crabby and bored Alex.
"Yep," I replied. I grabbed Matthew's hand and placed it on my belly. He got a swift kick to the heel of his hand. Matthew pulled his hand away, blowing a low whistle. "Soccer, I tell you. He'll be playing soccer."
It had been a week since our meeting with our family at Whitlock Technologies. Edward was busy working on a newer version of the tablet that he invented to distract himself from Emmett's trial. He was also working with the attorneys in the Cook County State's Attorney's office to solidify the evidence in the case against his brother. Emmett's trial was high profile since of his numerous transgressions and his status as a former attorney. As far as we knew, Emmett was assigned a public defender. It didn't look good.
For him.
Insert maniacal laughter here. Asstard.
Kate, Edward's cousin, explained what Emmett had to overcome in order to get acquitted and let's just say that there's a better chance that hell would freeze over than that happening. He was absolutely screwed. He had nearly fifty charges against him, not including the two murder charges of Carlisle and Lauren.
Anyhow, I'll be so happy once this is behind us. So will Edward. He's been a nervous wreck. I swear that man will go bald with all of the anxious pulling at his hair. I tried to distract him with sex but he's afraid of hurting me or the baby. Come hell or high water, I will calm down my edgy hubby. In some way, damn it. But preferably with sex.
Momma's horny. Can you tell?
"Of course, Mr. Edward...sorry, Edward," Matthew said sheepishly. "She's right here. Hold on." He handed me the phone with his good arm. "He's in rare form, Bella."
"Oh lord," I sighed as I took the phone from him. "Yes, angel?"
"I got a phone call from Charlie. They're letting Emmett out of solitary to meet with his attorney," Edward moaned. "He's going to put a hit on us. I think you need to visit your mother in Phoenix."
"Edward, I'm not leaving. You need to calm down," I said. "Besides, Dr. Payne doesn't want me flying. I'm staying close to home."
"But...what if we drive you?" he suggested.
