bladder as she utters a loud grunt, but Beth doesn't even stop for a moment. Getting a disposablebottle from the tray she pushes the other end of the catheter into it, then flips the switch that has keptany liquid contained inside the tube before.A steep blush creeps over Bella's face and upper chest as the sound of her urine being expelled is theonly thing audible inside the room except for her shallow breaths, but she doesn't even try to add anyverbal protest. Only when Beth is done and with a quicker motion distracts the catheter Bella squeals,her cheeks even darker red when a few more drops trickle from the previously filled hole."Don't be such a prissy princess," Beth remarks dryly as she deposits the tube and closed bottle in theready waste bin. Bella's head snaps up and she looks ready to balk, but when she meets Beth's gazeshe thinks better of it. Closing her mouth again she lets her head loll back against the bench, while hereyes stare up at the ceiling.

confused at first, and I barely hold back a harsh laugh."What, do you really think I'm going to force this just to prove a point?"It's not my intention but my words clearly wound her, and with a sigh I try to backtrack to before thepoint where my own resentments got the better of me."Bella, listen to me. If you don't want me to fistfuck you, I'm not going to.But I know that you love the sensation of being full, that you love being stretched, it's just a logicalnext step. You don't need to have born any children to be able to take my whole hand inside, nor willdoing so stretch you permanently. Your vagina, like your anus, is mostly muscles, and muscles canstretch and accommodate when you want them to, but they can also clench down hard as well. Whenyou're not ready I don't comfortably get a finger into your ass, either, but a little time and I can fuckyou with my cock without you feeling like I'm tearing you apart. It's not that much different than that."I feel he

"Edward? Get the fuck over to the hospital right fucking now, my water just broke and I can't reachEm, he's at the motherfucking gym where the reception is crappy and I need you right fucking now! "That pretty much puts an end to our previous conversation, and after making sure that she has alreadycalled an ambulance I hand Rose over to Bella so I can take a U-turn at the next intersection andspeed right back the way we've come.Part of me is glad that years of medical training pretty much wipe my personal issues from my brain,but I know that this isn't over yet. Strangely enough Bella doesn't look as relieved about theunexpected reprieve she gets, but instead seems downright miserable. Which in turn makes mewonder again if I'm not just projecting my own insecurities onto her, and this is really aboutsomething else entirely. I don't know if that's a good thing, or not. It takes us only fifteen minutes to reach the hospital, but to me at least they seem endless. Even m

She frowns, but now she's avoiding my gaze."Puking, actually, but never mind, I'm good now."When she sees my raised brows she sighs, then rubs her eyes."Look, Edward, can we please not do this here? I really appreciate your concern, but now's not thetime and I'd really like to have that talk where less than half the hospital can hear us."I nod, if slowly, then reach up so gently cradle her cheek. Her smile widens, and for a moment hereyes close as she relaxes into my touch."We can go home, too. Right now. I'm sure Rose will do just fine without two more people standingaround uselessly, too."Bella shakes her head."No, of course we stay. She called you first, we can't just leave her now.""But if you're not feeling welll-""I'm fine, okay?"I cock a brow at her suddenly acidic tone, and after a moment she steps away from me and startswalking down the way we've come."Come on, unless you want to hear any more theories about what sordid things we might have been

Finally home after a grueling forty hours in the hospital all I really want to do is take a shower andsleep for a month, I know that's not gonna happen when I see Bella waiting for me on the sofa, lookingall wound up and wringing her hands.I saunter over and kiss her but she doesn't even relax, and I barely take the time to shower and grab abite to eat before I join her. By then my stomach is in knots because her obvious unease is quicklyinfecting me. Whatever she has to say can't be all good, or she would have been a little less stressed.At least she's not drawing this out, and starts talking the moment I'm sitting next to her. Her eyes arewide and her fingers now locked around one of the throw pillows, making me even more nervous."Okay, please don't freak but before we start I have to ask you one thing?""Sure, ask.""Edward, do you really want to marry me? Because I don't know if my answer's still yes."That's so not something I've expected, and nothing I've ever
