Leah's point of view:

"More than one baby?" I whispered. "Twins?"

"There's baby A," Carlisle said, pointing to different points on the screen. "Baby B, and there's baby C."

My mouth opened and closed as a heavy silence filled the room.

"Th-three babies?" I whispered.

"Yes," Carlisle replied. "This will make things more complicated. I'll highly recommend you get blood through a feeding tube, Leah. I don't want to risk anything with you or your children."

I nodded numbly, my eyes making contact with Demetri. He looked as shocked as I felt. Tears filled my eyes as I looked at him. His hand came to caress my face.

"You're going to be okay, Leah," he said. "I won't let you get sick."

I nodded as he held my face. "We're going to have three beautiful children together."

He a brilliant smile covered his face. "Three beautiful children, Leah." He laughed. "Three beautiful children, my angel."

He gave me several kisses before he pulled away.

"I'm going to get measurements of your babies' heartbeats and their sizes," Carlisle explained. "This should tell me how many weeks you are pregnant, Leah. What was the last day of your first period?"

I thought back. "I'd say six weeks ago, but it hasn't been very regular since I phased."

Carlisle nodded as he pushed buttons on his machine. "I'd say they're about three months along, but I'm guessing you've only been pregnant a month. It looks as if you'll have them within the next two to three months, a lot longer than Bella's pregnancy. They will most likely deliver in six weeks at the latest though since you're having triplets."

My breath rushed out of me when I heard the word triplets as I nodded. "I'd like you to stay with us. Take your time to get some things together, and within the next week, I'll need you here on strict bed rest. I'd say you need to go on blood as soon as possible. I'm going to monitor you each day, Leah."

I sighed, grumbling internally. Carlisle ran a few more sets on me before he put away his equipment.

"Your vitals are normal, which makes me feel encouraged. Bella's blood pressure was very high early on in her pregnancy," Carlisle said.

"Thank you, Doc. For helping us," I said, smiling at him.

"It's my pleasure, Leah." He gave me a smile in return. "Now go get some rest, and you may want to refrain from any intercourse after this."

Demetri grumbled. "After being apart for two weeks …"

"I'll make it up to you," I said, hushing him.

I turned to see Jacob making face at Demetri, and I frowned at him. Jake caught my eye, and he abruptly turned on his heal and stomped out of the room. My shoulders slumped forward as I looked down. I counted Jacob as one of my very few close friends.

"Give him time, Leah," Carlisle said. "He took your absence hard."

"We'd better go, amore," Demetri said, wrapping an arm around my waist as he kissed my temple.

"Would you two like to stay for dinner?" Carlisle asked. "Esme is cooking."

"Maybe tomorrow?" I asked. "I need to see my mom; I need to tell her what's going on. She was the only one that knew of Demetri and I, but I want to tell her I'm pregnant before anyone else. Thank you for your help."

"You're welcome anytime," Carlisle said. "We have an open door policy with the pack, and Esme wouldn't be happy with me if I didn't invite you."

"Of course." I smiled at him. "Thank you for everything."

"My pleasure, Leah," Carlisle said, giving me a kind smile. "Make sure you come over tomorrow."

"Of course." I gave him a polite smile.

Within twenty minutes (and a plate full of food from Esme later), Demetri pulled into Mom's front house. She walked out of the front door, a large smile covered her face. I dashed out of the car and gave Mom a huge hug.

"Oh, Leah," she said into my ear. "I've missed you so much."

"I missed you too," I replied.

"I was wondering when your young man would show up," she said, smiling at me.

"Mom, he's actually a lot older than you," I commented.

Mom snorted. "Not looking like that he doesn't." Mom eyes ran up and down Demetri.

"Mom," I protested, laughing. "What about Charlie."

"She's a lot better looking that what you've got," she said, smiling and making me laugh; she was cute with Charlie. "Come on in. We made dinner. How are you Demetri?"

"I'm good, thank you," he said politely.

"Have you been taking good care of my Leah?" Mom asked as we stepped inside.

"Of course." Demetri took my hand and smiled. "She's my best friend, and I've never been happier."

A humph from my stepfather made me laugh. He stood in the entryway to the kitchen with his arms folded.

"Not sure what it is with my daughters and vampires," he muttered.

I laughed. "It's nice to see you too, Charlie." I kissed his cheek. "Are you taking care of my mom?"

"Of course," he replied, snaking his arm around Mom's waist. "But I think she's getting the short end of the stick."

Mom rolled her eyes. "I'd say the same Charlie."

He smiled and gave her a kiss.

"Still acting as if you're on your honeymoon, I see," I commented.

"What made you come back to the States?" Charlie asked. "I wish your mom and I could've stayed longer. Taken a longer honeymoon when we came to see you in Italy."

I took a deep breath and looked down.

"Do you want me to tell them?" Demetri asked.

I shook my head and took a deep breath. "I'm pregnant. Dr. Cullen just confirmed it."

Mom took several steps back as she opened and closed her mouth. "What … Leah. I thought you couldn't …"

"I guess I can," I said, taking several steps forward. "So far, I'm doing much better than Bella did."

Mom shook her head. "Are you sure, Leah?"

"Yes, Mom," I said launching into what Carlisle had told me.

She cupped my cheek. "So do you know when you're due?"

"In about two months, but I'll most likely deliver early," I explained as we sat at our small table. We moved there instead of standing; Carlisle and Demetri were watching a game on TV. "He thinks I'm the equivalent of three months along."

Mom nodded and took my hand. "Are you happy, Leah?"

"Very, very happy," I said.

"He'd better be good to you," a gruff voice said from the left. Charlie leaned against the wall with his arms across his chest.

"He is Charlie." I stood and hugged my stepdad. "Thank you for caring about me."

"You're … uh, welcome, Leah," he said gruffly into my ear as he patted my back.

"Are you ready to have more hybrid grandchildren?" I asked.

Charlie snorted and rolled his eyes. "What kind of world did I get into?"

"A crazy one," I muttered.

The rest of the night, I spent with my stepdad, Mom and boyfriend, talking late into the night. When Demetri got us back to our cabin I promptly fell into bed and asleep.

Five weeks later:

I groaned as I sunk into the large tub of hot water with the help on my now husband; Demetri got married a month ago. He didn't want our children to be born without us being married. His arms came around me with his hands splayed on my large belly.

"I'm so uncomfortable, Demetri," I moaned. "My back."

"Relax," Demetri said soothingly in my ear. "Relax, my darling."

I took a deep breath as Demetri muttered Italian in my ear; I loved hearing the language roll off his tongue. I replied a few times, having picked up Italian from our time together. I hissed as a pain ran down my stomach, causing me to curl over my large belly.

"Oh my gosh," I said as tears ran down my face. "It hurts, Demetri. Please …"

The door opened and Carlisle came in, a concerned look covered his face.

"May I check you, Leah?" Carlisle asked as he kneeled by the tub, and I nodded. "Would you rather stay here or go to the bed?"

"Stay here," I replied. "I'm … I'm in too much pain."

"You're in labor, Leah," Carlisle said after his exam. "Much like we hoped for."

"How far along?" I asked.

"Not much. About two centimeters," he replied, standing. "You stay in the tub and I'll get the room ready for you so we'll be able to get to the C-section first."

I nodded. "Hurry," I hissed as pain racked through me, making me feel as if I were being ripped in two.

He moved so quick he was a blur. Vaguely, I heard him getting ready in the room above us. We decided to have a C-section to get my babies out, just in case they wanted to bite their way out and expose me to venom that would kill me.

"He's ready, Leah," Demetri said, lifting us both up.

Within moments, I was dried, upstairs, and on Carlisle's medical table.

"We're having our babies," I muttered to Demetri as he stood by myside.

A large smile covered his face. "We're going to be parents, amore."

I hissed again as pain ran through me. "Carlisle," I moaned. "Help."

"I'm injecting you with a high pain killer," Carlisle said. "It'll be safe for you and the babies."

I felt myself relax as the drug ran through my system.

"Are you okay to stay, Demetri?" Carlisle asked as he placed a sheet vertically, blocking my view of my stomach.

"Her blood doesn't tempt me," Demetri said.

Carlisle nodded. "I'll be quick, Leah."

I nodded Demetri caressed my forehead. I felt a light touch on my belly.

"I'm cutting you open now," Carlisle said and was silent for a few moments. "I'm almost through to the placenta. It looks good; I can get through it without biting."

I felt pulling and tugging, making me feel uncomfortable.

"I have the first baby," Carlisle said, and a few moments later, a loud piercing cry filled the air.

"Here we are," he said with excitement. "A healthy boy. Edward, if you will."

Edward held up my baby, a dark hair boy. I smiled at him before Edward took him away as there was more pulling and tugging on my stomach.

"I've got the second baby," Carlisle said. "This is going well, Leah."

I held my breath until I heard a new cry.

"Another boy," Demetri said with pride in his voice. "Another son, Leah."

Tears ran down my face as Esme came to take my son.

"Now for the last baby," Carlisle said. "I'm almost there … I'm going to have to cut you again, Leah. Your body is trying to heal itself."

Carlisle worked on my belly for several long moments until I felt more pressure in my stomach.

"I have the last baby, I'm getting them now," Carlisle said with concentration. "A little girl, Leah. Healthy little girl."

He handed her off to Rosalie. Rosalie held up the crying baby, the loudest of the three.

"A little girl," Demetri said in Italian. "My precious, baby girl."

I cried tears of joy. "Demetri, we have babies now."

"We do love." He kissed me gently. "Should I go check on them?"

"Please," I said.

He was gone from my side in an instant.

"I've closed you back up, Leah. Your body will do the rest," Carlisle said.

"That has to be the quickest birth," I said.

"It was, and I doubt I'll be a part of it again, unless you decide to have more children." Carlisle took my blood pressure as he talked. "You did well, Leah."

"I think I'm happy with the miracles I have now, Carlisle, so I doubt we'll have more children." I smiled up at him. "Thank you for all of your help."

"It's my pleasure, Leah." He gave me a genuine smile. "Rest now. We'll watch over your children."

What seemed like moments later, I woke up in a large, comfortable bed. My body felt heavy and I opened my eyes slowly, but I was too tired. I needed more sleep. I gasped and opened my eyes when I remembered that I'd given birth to three beautiful babies.

"Where are my children?" I asked, looking around the room.

"Mommy's awake," Demetri said, stepping up the bed. "I have our sons."

I smiled as I sat up, wanting to see my miracles in Demetri's arms.

"Let me help you, Leah," Carlisle said as he helped me sit up fully; my stomach hurt terribly. "How's your pain?"

"Tolerable," I replied not taking my eyes off of my husband as he sat next me.

"Here is our first born." Demetri held out our oldest son.

I took him, careful not to wake him up. "How beautiful he is," I said, stroking his dark hair. "He looks like my dad."

"I think he wants to meet you as well," Demetri said, holding out our second born.

"Oh you precious boy," I said to the wide-eyed boy. I took him in the crook of my right arm. "Oh my precious boys. Mommy loves you very much."

His large eyes stared up at me as I talked to him. "Are they identical?" I asked Carlisle.

"It seems so," Carlisle said. "I suspected, but wasn't sure."

"And my daughter?" I asked.

"Such a beautiful dear," Esme said, approaching the bed. "She's a tiny, little thing."

Demetri took our daughter and sat next to me. I leaned against his side to get a good look at her. She had lighter skin than her brothers, with just as dark hair, and slept with her mouth open. I smiled down at her.

My family that I'd dreamed of was here, but never had I expected to have these three precious children with my vampire imprint by my side
