I realize that I owed you this chapter a while ago. But well, personal issues came up and I just couldn't get it out.
As always Stephenie Meyer owns all things Twilight.
Some may be confused with the title. It's from the song Airplanes by B.O.B and Hayley Williams, an AMAZING song! It will make more sense as we get further into the story.
Esme POV
I lay back onto the pillows Carlisle had arranged around me. I grabbed the remote off the side of the table and started flipping through the same shows that were on every day.
I had been officially pregnant for 32 weeks now. I was put on bed rest two weeks ago because apparently the doctor said I had been "doing too much."
I honestly agreed with him. I knew I had been doing too much but life is life and I have 5 kids to take care of. Carlisle had been very supportive through the whole thing, taking me to doctor appointments, watching the kids while I took a nap and taking them to and from baseball practice and games and ballet lessons.
Our daughter was due June 26 if everything went well. Carlisle and I had decided ahead of time that we would know the sex as soon as possible. We wanted to get her room done and the kids had been bugging us about it constantly.
To say Rosalie and Alice were thrilled it was a girl would have been an understatement. School had let out early that day and they boys had baseball practice till 6 so Alice and Rose had accompanied me to the appointment. They had screamed their hearts out and almost knocked over the ultrasound machine as they danced around the room.
We had yet to decide on a name, all of us arguing over her middle name mostly. (A/N this is where you all come in)
The house was fairly quiet for now. I knew as soon as the kids got off the bus they would charge straight upstairs to see how I was doing. Emmett, Edward and Jasper hadn't been thrilled that it was a girl. As they wanted a boy so they could teach him how to play baseball and get in fights, I had even heard them talking with Carlisle on teaching the baby ways to annoy me.
I heard the door open and the sound of feet coming up the stairs. "Mom! Mom!" was repeated over and over. The door to the room burst open and the boys piled onto the bed. The girls were a little more reserved as they climbed up and put their hands on my stomach.
"Has Ali been active?" Alice asked her piercing green eyes wide with curiosity.
"Ugh. Ali really? Why does the baby get to be named after her?" Emmett questioned.
"It Doesn't. We haven't decided on a name you know that" I replied.
"I still like Elizabeth" Rosalie said softly.
"Why do you like that name so much?" Jasper asked her.
"Mommy, our other Mom" she clarified "always told me that when she had another baby if it was a girl she would of named her Elizabeth" she said sadly. Jasper looked over at her sadly. He didn't remember much of Kate and he often turned to Rosalie to relieve memories of her. As I looked closely at them huddled together on my bed I started to notice the small differences in the kids. Jasper was taller than Rose was already; I knew he would take after his father with his height. Garrett had been 6'4.
I glanced over at Emmett and noticed the thick muscle that wrapped around his arm. He was only 13 but he had the body of a 15 year old. Edward was no longer the chubby 8 year old I remembered, he was tall, skinny and a you could make out a bit of his muscle definition under his T-Shirt. Jasper was tall almost as tall as Emmett. He wasn't quite as muscular but he didn't have a wiry body either.
Alice and Rosalie were complete opposites. Rosalie was tall, blond and very shapely. Carlisle had barely let her out of the house the other day in a bikini when the kids went to the neighborhood pool. Alice was short only 4'2. She had recently gotten most of her hair chopped off; it now went every which way.
The door downstairs opened and shut. I heard Carlisle set his briefcase down and walk up the stairs. Alice's eyes widened as she realized who was coming up the stairs. She had always been a daddy's girl. She was the only one that still called him daddy besides Emmett when he was mocking her.
"Daddy!" Alice called as he entered the room. She jumped off the bed and into his arms.
"Hey, baby. How was school?" he asked.
"Well" she started "there's this boy, his name is Mike and he's new. He asked Bella if she wanted to be his girlfriend, but she said no."
"Boys are already asking you out? You're in the fifth grade!" Carlisle said.
I rolled my eyes at him as he told the kids to start their homework.
"I promised them we would make that pizza for dinner again." Carlisle smirked.
"Really? You know what happened last time you all tried to make a homemade pizza."
"Were experienced now."
"Alright" I said leaning back against the pillows and flipping through the channels.
"How are you feeling?" Carlisle asked as he settled beside me.
"I'm fine. You left work about half an hour ago, you're not in doctor mode anymore" I said slapping his hand away.
"Sorry" he whispered as he kissed me.
"Now, go feed your kids."
He got off the bed and headed towards the closet. He came back out dressed in an old Harvard t-shirt and sweats. He kissed me on the forehead and then he kissed my stomach before leaving the room.
Jasper came in the room a few minutes later carrying a plate. "So you all survived? You didn't burn down the kitchen?" I laughed.
"No, it actually tastes good too" he smiled.
I took the slice of pizza he gave me and took a bite. "Not bad."
"Yours is better" he said.
"Aw, thanks baby."
At that moment a scream rang through the house.
I know, I'm such a horrible person for ending it like this but it's nothing to bad I promise. The link to my facebook profile is on my profile.
I'm setting up a poll as soon as I post this, go vote on the baby's name. Reviews are love (:
Love, OWTC
