Chapter 1

"Come on boys! Lets go!" I shouted to my two favorite men. My gorgeous husband Edward walked out of the door leading to the garage with a sleepy Roderick resting his head on his shoulder. I have Rod a kiss on the cheek and too him from Edward placing him in his car seat.

Edward placed his hand on my growing stomach. "Bella I want you to be more careful about carrying heavy things. Especially Rod, you don't want to hurt the baby do you?" No I didn't want to hurt the baby but my little two year old needed to be held by his mommy.

"But Edward, he needs his mommy." I wined looking up into his deep green eyes.

"His mommy is 8 months pregnant, I think he can last a little longer not being held by you." Okay so maybe it wasn't him that needed me but I needed him.

"We'll... Maybe but I want to hold and comfort my baby." I started to walk around to the passenger side our silver Volvo. We were headed to Edwards patents house for a cook out. I hadn't seen Esme or Alice in so long and I was in much need of family time.

"Let's just get going I want to see the family." I pulled open the door and awkwardly sat down. Edward chuckled as he pulled open his door and got in starting the car.

It only took fifteen minutes to get to his parents house and when we pulled up everyone's cars were in the drive.

Edward grabbed, a still sleepy, Rod out of the back seat. Rod rested his little head on Edwards shoulder. I grabbed his free hand and walked up to the front door with him.

Before I could ring the door bell a very excited Alice yanked re door open.

"Bella! Oh look at you! You look so beautiful!" She almost screamed at me. I put my finger to my lips quieting her and pointing to, a now asleep, Roderick. She snickered and pulled me I for a hug. It was an extremely awkward hug with both of our baby bellies bumping into each other.

"Looking good your self Alice." I said rubbing her six month belly. "But arn't you going to invite us in?" I raised my eyebrow at her. She quickly waived us in. Edward carefully bent down and kissed her cheek as he passed her.

"Mom, dad and Em are on the back patio. Rose is upstairs feeding Ian, and Jasper is going to be here soon he got tied up at work." Jasper was a fireman and probably had to tame a raging fire.

Edward and I made our way to the back patio. "Hey baby bro!" Emmett exclaimed waking up Roderick. He started to whine.

"Mommy!" He screamed reaching for me. Edward was reluctant to give him to me but he continued to scream for me. I wrapped him tightly in my arms his little legs stretching around my stomach.

"It's okay baby I'm right here. Thanks Emmett." I sneered at him. He gave me an apologetic look. Edward pulled up a chair behind me and I sat down with Rod on my lap. I wiped the tears of his cheeks and kissed the top of his head.

"Mommy." He said again. My heart broke at the pained expression on his face.

"What's wrong baby?" I asked wanting hi to be happy again.

"I's sweepy." I giggled.

"I know." I kissed his forehead. "Go back to sleep baby." He rested his head on my stomach. Rosalie, Emmett's wife walked our holding a cooing Ian in her arms.

Emmett held out his hand for the baby but Rosalie shook her head no and pulled a chair up next to me an sat down. She held Ian close to her chest.

Alice came bounding out onto the patio with a tired looking Jasper attached other hand.

"Yay! Everyone's here!" I don't understand how she is so energetic all the time.

"Foods read." Carlisle called. Edward took Roderick out of my arms and help me to stand up. We all sat around the table chatting.

"Bella, do you guys know what you are going to name the new little one?" Esme asked getting everyone's attention. I looked to Edward to see if it was okay if I answered. He nodded in the affirmative.

"Well... You all know its a girl." I said staging out the suspense. "We decided on Mackenzie Elizabeth."

"Oh! That's beautiful!" Esme swooned. And Carlisle smiled at us.

"Bella did you bring your swim suit."Alice chirped in.

"Um no why?" She never mentioned it to my why would I bring it. She looked at Edward. He smiled and nodded.

"What are you going to make me do now?" I said hiding my face in my hands.

"We are going to do aerobics to help the babies." Ugh! She was going to force me I to a skimpy bikini so I could do aerobics.

I looked at my body in the full length mirror. I looked fat. Edward wrapped his arms around my bulging stomach. "You don't look fat, love." He kissed my neck .

"Ugh! Yes I do." Surprisingly Edward and Roderick were dressed I swimming trunks.

"If you say I'm not fat then I can hold my baby." I bent down and pick him up and padded out I the room. Edward sighed loudly and followed behind me.

Alice, Jasper, Rose, Emmett, and Ian were already in the water.

"Swimmin'!" Roderick nearly screamed.

"Yes Rod, we are going swimming." Edward said pushing his crazy chocolate curls out of his face. He look exactly like Edward but had my dark brown curly hair.

I walked cautiously down the stairs into the pool with Roderick on my hip. Of corse the water was warm, Esme insisted on a heater. Roderick giggled in delight as he kicked and splashed the water.

"Bella give Rod to Edward. We are doing aerobics." Alice commanded. I felt silly as I did al of the strange positions that Alice showed me.

"Alice can we be done I want to spend time with my family." I said as I slowly swam away from her.

"Fine. Be we are going to do this again." She gave me a stern look. I swam to where Edward stood by the side of the pool ready to catch Rod when he jumped in. His musical giggles were the most amazing noise I have ever heard.

"You see day momma?" He asked as he splashed the water around Edwards arms.

"I sure did baby it was awesome!" I told him pushing the wet curls out of his face and kissing his forehead. Edward chuckled. "What?" I asked him.

"Nothing. I just love seeing my beautiful family spend time together. He leaned down and paced a chaste kiss on my lips. I kissed him back and smiled against his lips. I started to deepen the kiss when Carlisle's and Edward's pagers went off.

"My one day off and they have to call me in." Edward grumbled as he handed me Rod and went to get his pager.

"Looks like we got to go." Carlisle sighed. Carlisle an Edward worked at the hospital and were frequently called in together when something really bad happened.

"If I leave the car seat can you take Bella and Rod home, I don't know how late we will be." Edward asked Esme.

"Of corse dear." She kissed Edwards cheek. Edward walked over and kissed me deeply then placed a kiss in Roderick's head.

"I love you and ill be home tonight."

"I love you too. Don't worry about being too late we will probably just watch a movie and go to bed." He kissed me one more time and walked in the house after Carlisle to leave.

"You ready to go home baby?" I asked Rod. He looked like he was getting tired again. He has been sleeping a lot lately I hope he isn't getting sick.

"No momma. Swimmin'." I chuckled.

"Okay but only a little bit longer, okay?" I wanted to go home and sleep but I could t refuse his big eyes when he pleaded with me. We stayed for about an hour longer. Neither of us could keep our eyes open for very long.

I must have fallen asleep on the ride home because Esme shook my shoulder. "We're here darling. I'll get Rod, you go inside." I gave he a small smile.

She took Roderick into his room and layer him on his bed. "I'll see you later." She patted my stomach and kissed my cheek. I headed to Rods room to lay with him. I quickly fell asleep.

I woke up being lifted off the small bed and carried to my bed room. "Your going to hurt you back love." Edward whispered as he kissed my head. I don't remember anything after that I had fallen asleep again.
