Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, the all belong to the talented Stephanie Meyer.

Author's note: This isn't technically a new story for me. I have been co-writing this with CullenxVamp and I finally decided to post it. The first few chapters are a bit different to the ones on her profile as she wrote those before I met her. I re-wrote them so they were in my own writing style. This story is dedicated to CullenxVamp; it's her brainchild, after all.

Bella POV

All the way home, I had agonized over the decision I had made. I felt guilty, like I was betraying Edward. I knew that I was likely to tear the family apart, yet even knowing this I couldn't regret making that phone call. I knew that in the end it would all be worth it. When I held our baby in my arms, everything I had ever been through would be worth it, because it brought me there, to that point. The plane eventually landed in Seattle, once we got through security and retrieved our luggage, we were greeted by the Cullen's sullen faces. I ran to straight into Rosalie's arms. As the Cullen's took in what I had done, the atmosphere turned tenser still.

The drive home was stressful. Arguments erupted over who was to drive home with whom. In the End I was in Carlisle's recedes with him and Esme in the front, and Rosalie and Edward on either side of me in the backseat.

Almost as soon as we arrived back at the Cullen's mansion, the arguments started again. With yours truly in the middle. Why me?

Edward was seriously pissed to know that I had gone behind his back to contact Rosalie.

"Rose, we have no idea what the foetus will do to Bella, it may kill her, for all we know!"

Rosalie snapped back at Edward, "Exactly, Edward, we don't know that! How can you stand there and yell at me for trying to protect your baby! You should be happy; this baby is a God damn miracle! But no, not Emo Edward, instead of rejoicing that you get to have this experience, you are shouting at everyone and causing your wife even more stress!"

At some point during their argument Jasper had reached his limit with the tension and anger. He sent a wave of calm to everyone. Edward pinched the bridge of his nose; we all knew how frustrated he was. "Rose . . . baby, please let Edward calm down," Emmett tried to sooth his wife. Rose just looked at him as if he was speaking gibberish. She turned to look at Edward.

"I am sorry, Edward, but Bella wants to keep your child. I will not let you hurt an innocent baby!"

Everyone's eyes turned to look at me. All I could do was nod my head while I mumbled "yes, it's true. I want to keep my baby, I want to keep my little nudger . . . Edward, please don't make me kill our baby. It would kill me." Edward looked devastated from what I had just said. I immediately felt horrible for doing this to him but this was our baby, a life that was created from our love for each other. I would not let anything happen to our baby. He looked up at me and could see the determined set of my face.

"Fine, it seems that nothing can be done to change your mind." He turned slowly to face Rosalie "Rosalie, just know that if anything happens to Bella, I will hold you personally responsible and there will nothing that anyone will be able to do to stop me from tearing you apart and burning the pieces." No-one knew what to say to that, so we all sat there in silence. Finally Carlisle spoke.

"Right, now that everything is settled, I think we should do an ultrasound on you Bella. We will be able to get a better picture of what we are dealing with."

While Carlisle set everything up in his office, the rest of us sat in an awkward silence. When Carlisle called to tell us he was ready, we all let out a breath of relief.

After half an hour of Carlisle trying to get an image of the babies, we all came to the conclusion that it wasn't going to happen. It was only hours later while we were all sitting, watching a movie that we got our first clue of what was going on inside my stomach. Everyone else in the room suddenly turned to look at me in disbelief.

"Can everyone else here that?" Emmett asked, incredulously.

"Hear what?" I asked.

"Four other heartbeats," Edward answered, staring at my stomach in shock.

"You have some powerful sperm, dude. Your swimmers could be in the Olympics," Emmett said.

"Oh, my fucking God!" I screamed. I was having four babies. Four babies. We weren't certain of their genders. We couldn't even see the babies, just heard their fast beating hearts . . .
