The Geek's Guide to Parenthood

Happy Birthday

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-Seven: Happy Birthday

BPOV

"Edward, can you please hand me my fluffy socks?" I asked from my perch on the bed. "My feet are cold."

"Sure gorgeous," he said as he rummaged through my drawer. He found my socks and put them on my feet. "Jasper, Demetri, Alex and Matthew will be here to help me finish Owen's room. You are not allowed to see it until it's done. Got it, Mrs. Cullen?"

"Yes, dear," I giggled. Edward rolled his eyes before he kissed me, leaving me to watch television.

I had been put on bed rest after our meeting with Emmett. Well, light bed rest. My blood pressure had elevated slightly and Dr. Payne put me on lock down for a few weeks. After that, I was able to move around more. Until I slipped and fell. I wrenched my back and I went into pre-term labor. I spent a week in the hospital but Dr. Payne released me as long as I stayed in bed only to get up to pee and to go to doctor's appointments. It sucked since I couldn't spend time with my family. Kyra was growing like a weed and was getting into everything. Now that she was crawling, walking and dancing, she was opening and closing doors, playing with everything and just driving poor Edward crazy with her shenanigans.

Alice had wanted to give me another baby shower, but we had so much stuff from when Kyra was a baby that we decided to bypass the baby shower. Most of the stuff was brand new since the first three months of her life was spent in Italy and Nana Esme and Papa Marcus spoiled her with clothes, toys, and other necessities. The gender neutral clothing would be used for Owen and the rest were given to Ava, Rose's baby girl.

I was getting close to the end of my pregnancy and I was as big as a house. My body was hot but my fingers and feet were cold. Plus, it didn't help that it was the coolest September in history. Edward turned on the heat on September second.

Now, here it was, the day before my birthday and the boys were putting together Owen's bedroom. Kyra was spending time with Alice, Rose, Ava, Adam and Lucas. I was enjoying...okay, not really...my bed rest. I cannot believe that a year ago, Edward and I had just come home from Italy with our principessa and celebrated my twenty-sixth birthday at a hotel and making love. Now, I'll be lucky if I get a nipple squeeze and dinner in bed.

Bed. Rest. Sucks.

I know that this is what's best for Owen, but I've got to do something. Watching Maury Povich identify who is who's baby daddy is not my idea of stellar television. Reading that Fifty Shades book over and over again is not helping my overactive but not used libido.

"Bella, I can hear you huffing from across the house," Edward snickered as he crawled into bed.

"I'm bored, Edward. My back hurts. I'm horny. I'm hungry. I want you to fuck me. I want chocolate," I whined.

"Wow. That's quite a list," he chuckled. "Bored...can't help you there unless you want your laptop? You could do some writing or work on Rose's movie thing?"

"That would help," I pouted.

"Your back hurts. Hmmmm, I can get you a heating pad and once I'm done, I'll give you a massage," he said as he moved closer to me, draping his arm over my beach ball that was my waist. I nodded and looked up into his golden eyes. I bit my lip, reaching for the waist of his grubby jeans. "Move this fingers away from the peen, Cullen."
