Okay, so this is actually a Carlisle/Esme story but I'll get there eventually.
(no Renesmee)
Bella POV
The doctor came out and beckoned Alice and Jasper. She slid her hand into his and they walked after him. They didn't seem as nervous as any of the other couples. After a few minutes there was a shriek of excitement. Esme smiled and looked up at Carlisle. He tried to smile back but just came across nervous.
When they came out Jasper gave us the thumbs up and Alice hugged Rosalie.
It was our turn next. We had been holding hands for the past hour, but Edwards grip tightened on mine. When we came in the doctor was smiling. I hoped it was a good sign.
"Can you just tell us yes or no?" I asked him quickly, somewhat rudely. He smile grew wider.
"Yes."
"You mean yes as in 'yes I can tell you' or-"
"He means yes as in we can have a baby, Bella," Edward told me quietly. I leapt up and hugged the doctor, then my husband. I couldn't wipe my smile off my face.
Everyone in the house had been taking pills specially designed for vampires for the last month and a half. The idea was, after that we should all be able to have kids. It was like the opposite of 'the pill' for humans, except after a month and a half, if it worked the effects were permanent. If it didn't work, well, then it didn't work.
The doctor looked down at the papers and sighed. I didn't see the name on them but he shuffled them to the back. Edward looked at me and shook his head. My heart sunk a little bit.
"Who's is it?" I whispered so only he could hear.
"I don't know, I couldn't see," he whispered back.
"Rosalie and Emmett?" the white coat called.
They both got up. Rose's hands shook badly even though Emmett had his arm around her waist. I crossed my fingers for her sake.
There was a cheer. From the waiting room we cheered too. When she came out she hugged me, giggling uncontrollably.
The doctor looked down at the papers in front of him again and shuffled them. Carlisle took one look at him and wrapped his arms around Esme, seeming in the other man's face what he was about to say. Esme seemed oblivious and jumped up, grabbing Carlisle's hand and pulling him up too. He fidgeted and I could see him hyperventilating. He pulled Esme closer to him as they walked.
"I love you," he whispered. I wasn't sure that we were supposed to be able to hear it.
Edward looked at me sadly and I knew. I could feel calming waves being sent off by Jasper. Rose looked close to tears and Alice looked like she was trying to see something. Emmett stared at his hands.
This time there was no cheer, no laughter, no pure joy. The door stayed closed longer and when it did open, it was the doctor that came out. All we heard was silence, then a quiet sob from Esme.
"I think we should go for a walk," Edward said suddenly. "All of us."
We reluctantly agreed, assuming that either Carlisle or Esme had asked him to make us go. We loitered around Volturi castle for much of the day. When we had nowhere left to go, we were forced back.
Esme's face was still wet but there were no more tears. She was leaning into Carlisle who had his arms wrapped around her. She had her arms limply around his waist. Carlisle just looked numb but it didn't appear he had been crying. I guessed not for Esme's sake.
Neither of them said anything as we walked to our cars. Carlisle talked to us a little bit on the plane but was silent again by the time we got home. They disappeared as soon as we got in.
