I do not own Twilight…or the characters…not even Jasper *sniffle* SM does!
Chapter 1
By the end of the second week of being woken up like this I was worried to say the least. I kept telling Edward and the others that it was just the flu; that it would be over tomorrow, but they weren't buying it.
"Bella you should talk to Carlisle" Esme told me soothingly, rubbing small circles into my back. I shook my head and stood up shakily. I flushed the toilet and went down to the kitchen, were I swished my mouth out with water.
"I'll be fine." I told her, going back upstairs to brush my teeth. "It's just the flu"
No one pressed the matter, even though I kept puking for a few more weeks every morning. I was surprised that Edward let me get away with it, usually he would be all over me in worry; but he's been unusually distant the past couple weeks.
"Bella!" Angela squealed, throwing open the door and greeting me warmly with a hug. "You look good!" I grinned at her,
"So do you! How is college?" She sighed and rolled her eyes.
"The same as high school, I am so glad that it's December. I get the entire month off!" I smiled at her. Then I caught a whiff of something, broccoli if my nose had it right, that made my stomach churn.
I ripped away from Angela and made a beeline for her bathroom, instantly upchucking into her toilet.
"Bella!" Angela cried, coming over to me and rubbing my back soothingly. "All you alright?" I quickly flushed the toilet, the smell was making me gag. I stumbled over to her sink and swished my mouth out. "Do you have the flu?"
"Sorry about that. I haven't been feeling well for a while" She took my hand and led me to the couch.
"How long have you been sick?" She asked me quietly.
"A month, maybe two" She threw me a shocked glance. "Well it has been easing up in the past few days" I defended myself.
"Symptoms?" She asked quietly, her college nursing classes kicking in.
"Puking every day, back pain, abnormal sleeping, peeing every two minutes, and mood swi-"
"Bella are you pregnant?" Angela interrupted me sharply. I gasped and stared at her, my mouth hanging open.
"What did you just say?" I asked quietly.
"When was your last menstrual cycle?" She asked. Under normal pretenses I would have blushed, instead I felt the blood drain out of my face.
"Two maybe three months ago" I whispered. With that Angela dragged me up off the couch and to the door where she helped me put my coat on. "Where are we going?" I asked her, still dazed. Surely I could be pregnant. I mean the only person I've slept with was Edward, and he was a vampire. She didn't answer me, instead she pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
"Claire? It's Angela, look I have a friend here and I think she pregnant" She glanced at me and my distant gaze, "Scratch that, I know she's pregnant. Do you think you can fit her in?" She paused listening, "Yeah right now" Another pause. "Thanks Claire I owe you one" She turn off her phone and looked over at me.
"Bella?" She asked softly.
"Yeah?" I whispered.
"I have a friend at the hospital; she is an Ob/gyn. She is going to take an ultrasound of your belly" I nodded silently and followed her to her car. We drove to the hospital in silence. She kept glancing at me, trying to see if I was still alive.
(A/N You all probably remember the LONG chat Bella had in her head in BD. Place that here! =D)
We got to the hospital in about ten minutes. Unlike the crazy Cullen's, Angela knew how to drive within the limit.
"Come on Bella" Angela coaxed, taking my hand and leading in. By the time we were walking in the door I remembered Carlisle was working today.
"Let's go in the other way" I told her quietly. At her glance I explained, "Carlisle is working today. If I am" gulp, "Pregnant, I don't want him to know right away." Understanding dawned on her face and she nodded. We went the long was round and arrived in front of the desk. I was still dazed.
"We have an appointment with Claire McGovery" Angela told the receptionist calmly.
"You have room 3," Patty, or so her nametag read, told us cheerily. "Best of luck!" We went into the room and I sat down on the table, Angela still at my side and holding my hand.
"Knock knock" A female voice said, knocking on the door and entering. She was pushing a cart into the room. She was tall, almost as tall as Angela; African-American, with braided black hair, green eyes, and was wearing peace earrings. She looked to be around twenty-one. "Hey Angela" She greeted in a small high voice.
"Hey, Claire meet Bella. Bella meet Claire." Angela introduced. When I didn't say anything she stepped forward slowly and looked me in the eyes.
"Let's get this show on the road" She told me happily. "Can you lift your shirt up for me sweetheart?" With shaking hands I lifted my shirt up so my belly was bare. She poured the jelly stuff on my stomach and turned the machine on.
Then I heard it. The small pat-pat-pat of a heart beat. Only it sounded off, not quite so rithmatic.
"There they are" Claire announced happily. She pointed to the screen where a figure was laying. I felt my jaw drop open in shock. "Goodness would you look at that!" She exclaimed.
"What?" I asked panicking. Now that I could actually see the child I realized how much I wanted him or her. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing is wrong, you are just very far along. You are going into your second trimester. Do you want to see the heads?" I noticed the plural.
"Yeah" She pointed out one, two, three heads on the screen.
"Triplets!" Angela and I blurted out in unison. Claire chuckled.
"Actually you have twins and a separate child." I stared at her in confusion. "It happens" She stated shrugging.
"And the ahh" I had to clear my throat. "The genders?"
"Twin girls and a boy" I stared at her in shock for a good five minutes. "I can see that you need time to process. I'll print off five copies for you and I'll take some blood so I can run some tests" She took some blood from my arm and left, promising to return with pictures and some test results.
"Oh my God" I stated slowly to Angela.
"Can you believe it?" I shook my head.
"Triplets, wow" She smiled.
"I know!" We sat and talked about it for a few minutes.
"So what do you think you are going to call them?" Angela gushed.
"Renesmee and Elizabeth for the twins" I replied promptly. "Elizabeth was Edward's biological mother's name. Renesmee is a mix of Renee and Esme" I explained at her confused look.
"I love the name Elizabeth! Think of all the nicknames you can make out of that!" She replied. "I'm not sure what you can do with Renesmee though" We thought hard on this for a few minutes, and that is how Claire found us when she came back in.
"Hey Claire," We said at the same time. "What nicknames can you get out of Renesmee?"
"Nessie?" She replied after a minute. We erupted into giggles at this. I was laughing so hard I had tears running down my face and I was gasping for air.
"My daughter is going to be named after the loch ness monster" I gasped still laughing. "That's priceless!" We chuckled at this for a bit longer until Angela asked,
"What of the boy?"
"Isaiah" I replied after a minute. "It's Charlie's real name" Angela's mouth dropped open. "Yeah, well his real name is Isaiah Charles Swan. He had a friend named Isaiah, so he picked up Charlie. People have just rolled with it from then on. Even his parents" Angela nodded.
"Edward will be put out that he doesn't get to decide the names" Angela teased. I shrugged.
"He live" I countered. "What did the tests say?"
"You and the babies are doing very well" Claire told me. She handed me a prescription for a prenatal drug and explained when to take them. As we got up Claire placed a hand on my arm.
"You are married to Edward Cullen, correct?" She asked. I nodded. "Son of Carlisle Cullen, the Doctor that works here?" I nodded again. She looked at Angela and she nodded ever so slightly.
"Bella I need to tell you something" I sighed.
"I bet a million dollars that you are about to tell me that you are a witch." I told her seriously. She stared at me,
"How did you know?" She stuttered. I shrugged.
"Once I realized that vampires and werewolves were real I kinda figured that everything else; faeries, witches, wizards, dragons, elves, dwarves, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, True Blood, The House of Night; were all real." When they didn't argue I stuck in, "So can you get me a date with Aragon?" just for fun.
"He died" Claire said sadly. I erupted into giggles at this.
"What about Eric? From True Blood?"
"I wouldn't make you out for an Eric girl" Angela said in a thoughtful voice. I rolled my eyes.
"Fang banger here" I told her seriously, pointing to myself. We all giggled at this.
We talked for a few more minutes and set up a lunch date for this upcoming Monday, so I could learn about witches. We decided to have them over at my house; I was currently still living with the rest of the Cullen's, because Claire had some valuable information on vampire/human hybrids.
Angela drove me back to her house and I got into my car and drove back to the Cullen's, nearly exploding with excitement at the prospect of telling my family that I was pregnant.
As I let myself into the house and was met by the sound of rock music being blared out at full blast. That was strange, no one was supposed to be here; they were all supposed to be gone for the weekend hunting. I further into the house to discover the noise was coming from Edward's room. Suddenly I heard an earsplitting bang, followed by another one, and another one. What in the world was going on?
I opened the door to Edward's room, only to have the smile wiped off my face.
In front of me were Edward and Alice. Together. In bed. Naked.
They didn't even notice my presence. After a moment I stumbled out of the doorway and ran down the stairs and into someone's arms.
"Bella! What's wrong?" She asked. I pulled out of her arms and ran over to Jasper. I grabbed his hand and dragged him upstairs, and pushed him into Edward's room. They were still at it. The sight made me physically drop to my knee's and start throwing up.
"Bella!" Esme called; suddenly she was at my side. She didn't speak. I could see the rest of the Cullen's in the doorway. I was crying, sobbing, and retching all at the same time.
I don't recommend it.
"What the hell!" Jasper roared.
Shock and horror dawned on their faces and they broke apart. They quickly dressed at vampire speed.
"We can explain" Edward mumbled. I looked up into his eyes and so many emotions swept into me that I was gasping for air. There was a blinding flash of light and I passed out.
