Chapter 1: Triplets
It has been a whole year since I got married to Jacob and we celebrated our first anniversary with a eight month trip to Hawaii. We were on our way back to tell my parents something that my father, Edward, would probably kill my new husband for. We haven't told anyone yet that I was pregnant and I knew that everyone would be shock because no one in the Cullen family knew about this not even Carlisle. Bella and Edward came to pick me and Jacob up, but the shock of my huge plump belly made them stop dead in their tracks. Both Jacob and I looked a little worried with Bella's changing facial expressions and Edward was as still as stone as he just stared at my belly.
"Please tell me you just got fat on your anniversary trip," Bella said with disbelieve in every word she said.
"Surprise Mom and Dad!" I said running towards my father with happiness, but it didn't work he was still frozen where he stood. I knew that this was going to need a lot of time for both my parents to get over this one. I really regretted hiding the news from them for eight months, but back then it seemed like a wonderful plan to finish the trip and then come back and surprise everyone, boy was I wrong! It was so awkward in the car that it made me uncomfortable to look my parents in the eyes. I have always pictured this day I would come and tell my parents I was pregnant Bella would be overjoyed to be having grandchildren and Edward would grudgingly accept the idea. I didn't really think both of them would be this much in disapproval, after all it is normal for a marry couple to bare children it really wasn't a big deal.
"Mom, Dad what wrong I thought you would be extremely happy," I said as we pulled up into the Cullen driveway, none of us even tried to get out we were going to talk about this right here and now.
"It's not that we aren't happy sweetie but you should have told us when you first found out…about the baby," Bella said worried as she started at how enormous my belly was. It was just a baby but the way my parents looked, it was like something bad was about to happen.
"How long have you to know about this?" My father finally said breaking out of his state of shook.
"About eight months ago," I said watching there expression change into extremely worried ones. My father grabbed me like a little child up into the house where the whole family was waiting for us the living room. Their expressions when they saw my belly, Rosalie and Alice's expressions were of pure joy, but Carlisle and Esme both had the same looks that my parents had they were horrified. Carlisle went out of the room as everyone flooded over to give me my congratulations. In the back of my eye I could see Jacob being taken away somewhere secret by my parents. I was just about to go follow them but Carlisle was back and had hooked me up with medical equipment.
"I can't believe we are going to be getting another Cullen to our family," Rosalie said jumping up and down hardly able to contain her excitement, at least someone like the idea, I swear the everyone else was acting like I was going to die from this.
"Cullens," Carlisle corrected but it got the whole family quiet and looking at him for an explanation. He took a deep breath and shook his head at me before continuing speaking. "Really Renesmee, why didn't you tell us this earlier, I'm guessing you have known for some months about this pregnancy," I nodded and Carlisle looked like he was having a manger headache.
"Is something wrong?"
"Yes you aren't just having a baby; you are having three of them." The whole room was dead silent; I couldn't help having a smile on my face I was going to give birth to three little Jacobs! I felt like I just won the lottery. But everyone wasn't so happy anymore which surprise me even Rosalie wasn't jumping up and down anymore.
"Renesmee this isn't going to be a normal pregnancy," My father said coming back with Jacob and mom they looked so down in the dumps was I the only one who didn't get what was going on? Mom and Dad sat down on the table in front of me and explained the horrors of Mom's pregnancy with me. The whole thing left me shocked as I look at mother it was my fault that she was like this…a vampire. My father reassured that it wasn't my fault that Mom was a vampire she wanted to be one for a long time before they even got married.
"Why did none of you tell me that it was dangerous to have…kids?"
"We didn't want you to be scared of having children if you really want them. If you don't want these babies Carlisle could always-"
"Dad there is no way in the world I'm giving up my precious little babies," I said while shielding my belly I wasn't going to lose my pregnancy to anything that I could stop. Everyone looked worried, but I just smiled at them like these babies inside of me were the best things that ever happened to me…other than Jacob of course.
"Are you sure Neisse are you sure you want to go through this? I thought that maybe since your belly was growing normally that you were going to have a normal pregnancy, but no one would blame you if you didn't want-"
"Jake Black, no means no," I said using his full name so that he knew that my decision was final.
"When are they due?" Edward said trying his hardest to except the whole the thing. Carlisle said two weeks by the way they were moving around in my womb. The only thing that put them at ease was that it had taken the babies more time to develop then it took me when I was little, which meant more time for them to be little kids with us.
"Don't worry Renesmee if you really want these children I'm going to support you a hundred percent of the time," Jacob said in a strong voice and he kissed me on the check which resulted in me giving him a kiss on the lips. During the kiss I could feel three kicks in my stomach at first when they got to the kicking stage I just thought that the baby just liked kicking three times, now I knew they were triplets in me I hope they are cute and look the same that would make me the happiest mom in the whole world.
"Mom, Dad and everyone, will you guys support me to, please?" they all gave their nods of approval. As the day went by everyone left except Mom, Dad, Rosalie and Emmett and off course my grandparents after all they did own the house. Every day until the final day of those two weeks both Carlisle, Edward and Jacob have been hovering over me making sure I was okay at all times of the day during the nights Jacob tried to stay awake and I admired him for it he was really taking this whole baby thing seriously he was even coming up with boys names and girls names. So far over the course of one week and a half we manage to get Andrew, Edgar and Charles if they are boys, but we couldn't seem to find any good girl names so I kind of had my fingers crossed for all boys. On the night before the deadline that Carlisle set up expired we had a baby shower that of course like all parties was planned by Alice even though the babies were giving her a headache because she wanted to look through the future to see if I made it through the pregnancy okay. The boys made a beautiful baby room in the house that Esme made for me and Jacob just a little further away from my parents' house. Edward decided to hear the thoughts of all the babies, so he pressed his ear to my stomach and his face lit up and I believe he got over the baby thing at that moment, but then his face drastically changed from a soft one to a worried one.
"I can only hear two babies' thoughts," he said in alarm, I was also panicking even though Jasper was calming me down, but really it wasn't going to work on me knowing that one of my babies might be…dead in there? Carlisle did an ultrasound and it turns out that one wasn't doing so well, but the little baby was still doing okay, but I was still a little scared for that one baby I wouldn't know what to do if I lost even one of them, but I was calm enough for Jasper to calm me down.
"Don't worry," Jacob said rubbing my belly and this time I could only feel two kicks which left me with a scared expression my face, my mom saw my worried expression and got all the boys out of the room into the kitchen and all the girls huddle around me and I felt kind of better.
"Darling you shouldn't worry, your panicking won't do the babies any good," Esme said patting my head gentle.
"You have nothing to worry about they are all going to be okay after all you are going to have a normal delivery according to Carlisle," Rosalie said happily, she couldn't wait to be able to take care of a baby again.
"Saying that Rose her children aren't going to be normal in the least," Alice said but even though it didn't really have the calming effect on me I still smiled and thought of three little boys changing into little cute werewolves. At that moment I started hyperventilating and I could feel the babies kicking more violently, they were coming a day early! I screamed for Carlisle and there he was in three seconds with the rest of the males in the family they took me to the kitchen and laid me on the dining table. I started to fill pain trough out my whole body as I could feel them fighting to get out first. Carlisle was screaming orders at every one of the boys to get him different things.
"Renesmee stay calm and push when I tell you and if you do that I assure you these babies will be out of you in no time," I tried to smile the best I could through the pain and the snapping sound of Jacob's hand which I was squeezing way too hard that after sometime, after the first one came out Jacob had to change places with my mother before I destroyed ever bone in his hand and even for a werewolf that probably had to hurt. Another hour of intense labor pasted and two of them were already out it was the last one that was the hardest. The baby just didn't want to come out no matter how much I pushed, but Carlisle assured me that it was coming out today no matter what.
"I can't do it anymore!" I said tears' falling from my eyes and everyone in the room was thinking the same thing I was thinking maybe the baby was stuck or even worse dead. I was crying so hard at the thought of one the children that I was going to give birth was going to die before it got to see the world outside of my belly. "Please little baby please come out!" I yelled like the baby would just follow the command, I was on the verge of giving up I was going to give it one big push and if it didn't come out there was something seriously wrong with it. It was a miracle sent from above the baby popped out not crying like the other but silently shivering violently, the baby had white dog ears coming out of its head.
"Congratulation Renesmee, they're all out but sorry to burst your bubble they're all girls," Edward said handing two out of three children that I gave birth to me and Jacob. They looked normal at least until Edward told us they were both half human and vampire and the one I was holding in my arms could see into people's past which made Alice light up with joy another person like her in the house. The one that Jacob was could control people with her mind. At that moment Carlisle gasped a little from the bathroom where he was examining the last baby.
"What is it," I almost shrieked upsetting the baby in my arm I gave her to Bella to hold. Carlisle came back in and took the baby in Jacob's hands and handed to Edward and gave Jacob the last baby. Jacob was quitting with a little bit of pain. I was looking scared again I demanded Carlisle tell me what was going on.
"It looks like this little girl has human, vampire and werewolf DNA. It seems that the conflicting temperatures are giving the baby a little trouble," he said in a grave voice that made me horrified again. Carlisle told me that all she needed was a little time to find her right temperature so he brought me back to the living room to sleep and for the rest of the night I had to force myself to sleep because I was worried about that little girl.
"Hey sweetie wakeup," I heard Jacob say gentle into my ear. At first I didn't want to get up Jacob's hot lips were moving across my ear and it felt too good to wake up. As I remembered the baby I jolt up and headed into the kitchen where both of my parents were holding the other two babies in their arms, I guess they want to spoil them the same way they did when I was born. Carlisle was holding the baby that I was worried about but I stopped worrying when I saw his smiling face holding the baby that for some reason didn't have little white ears anymore and was sleeping soundly.
"What happened to her ears Carlisle and is she okay now?" I asked getting her from him to see for myself and when I did the young little girl opened her eyes revealing a pair of memorizing bright green eyes the same eyes.
"She's fine and once she settled on a temperature her ears despaired," Carlisle said leaving the room. When I touched the babies pale white skin I felt an intense warmth coming from her body that was sharing both the heat of a werewolf and the coldness of a vampire.
"Renesmee we have to think of names for them since they turned out to be all girls." I knew exactly what to name this child in my arms.
"This little girl will be called Andrea Isabel Cullen," I said jumping up and down hugging our daughter a little too hard but she didn't even mind she was a lot stronger looking today then she was yesterday. Jacob and my parents agreed with the name and Edward told me the baby did too. The next two I let Jacob and my parents choose they all thought it was pretty cool to name them all names beginning in 'A' because they looked the same. The one that could look into the past was named Amanda Mary Cullen by my parents. The one that could control people, Jacob named her Amy Brook Cullen and the baby showed her approval by making Jacob start to jump up and down like a five year old. Everyone tried to hold in their laughter especially Edward. They all had the same color of eyes, the same shape features and the same amount of black hair on their heads. They were all magnificent and to think they were going to be gotten rid of if I hadn't believe that I could do it. To Carlisle surprise even though they had vampire DNA they hated to even be around blood and even hated animal blood more than human's and also they were growing normal speed so we could send them to school the thing I got to miss out on because of my always changing body, but it was okay the family took turns teaching me things, the best teacher was Emmett by far.
"Renesmee they are so amazingly beautiful!" Rosalie said as she took Amanda right out of Jacob's arms which I could tell pissed him off, him and Rose never really saw eye to eye after my mother's pregnancy with me. I gave him the glare I give him when I want him to behave and that settled that matter before they got into another cold war of verbal abuse. Alice was holding Amy not willing to give her back to anyone except me but I didn't want to take her way yet after all it was rare for Alice to take this much interest in a baby. Emmett was being torture by Andrea he decided to play with her and for some reason it looked more like she was playing with him. She was biting him and at one time we actually saw him being dragged by his hair on the floor by her, she was a really strong baby and she was Emmett's new partner in crime, Jasper was being replaced but he didn't seem to care he was more intrigued with Amanda. I was the happiest mother in the world right now, my children were all healthy and active and they fit along with us just perfectly! I couldn't wait to see them grow and that will take a lot of patience since they were all growing human speed, which I found was the slowest things on earth. After some days of testing them Carlisle approved that all the children were safe enough for Charlie to see so I invited him to the main house and he was just as shocked as my father was when he found out he was going to be a grandparent, but Charlie was even more shocked he was going to be a great-grandparent at the age of sixty. After he got over the shock he loved the girls and kept on commenting that they all were the most beautiful babies in the world…next to mom and me of course. The only thing that worried me was Andrea, Carlisle told me to keep her away from Charlie because they weren't sure all of her powers, but for some reason she always had a curious face on as she stared at people and when people hold her they always got this annoying thing in their minds that was talking which really interested Carlisle to no end.
I really hated lying to Charlie because he wanted to hold Andrea so badly but I was glad he didn't make a big fuss about it. When Charlie had left Carlisle came into the room holding Andrea with a triumphant smile on his prefect face.
"Everyone gather around it looks like Andrea has the powers not only to transform into a werewolf but super strength and speed that exceeds any vampire and also she can put herself into people's heads. It is like Edward's power but she can both hear your thoughts and if she allows you, you can hear hers," Everyone was surprised except Edward he had already known for a long time but I guess they both tried to keep it a secret from everyone until they figured it out on their own. At that moment I heard giggling in my head that sounded like sweet music and from the looks of everyone except Bella they heard it too. It was all Andrea's doing she was laughing because it took us this long to figure it out. From that day on Andrea didn't hold back her powers it seemed that she was always in people's heads talking to everyone. I could tell from everyone including Edward who's head wasn't safe from Andrea that this was going to be another headache for all of them, but her sisters didn't seem to mind by the time they could all talk they always were seen having silent conversations that no one else could hear, which was both cool and worrying to me I never knew what was going through their minds not even Edward because we also found out that Andrea could block other people from seeing into others minds as well as her mind.
The funniest day was on their first birthday we invited all the werewolves in La Plush, Tanya and her family and Nahuel. When they came in and the werewolves went to play with Andrea they couldn't believe her power Sam says that was kind of like the power the werewolves had when they were in wolf form to communicate. Seth and Paul were both excited to see such an unique girl that they took her outside to teacher her how to turn full wolf. As I watched Andrea try to copy them I kind of expect to see a big wolf to be honest but when she finally got it right after many funny attempts where only ears would pop out or a tail. When she turned full werewolf I guess the boys were expecting a bigger wolf too because when they saw her transform she looked like a little snow white puppy with huge red color eyes and a beautiful dress that Alice worked hard to pick out for her, they started to laugh at her and from that moment I heard Edward laugh a little. I was about to ask him what was up but then I heard howling from outside and then I turned to see my one year old little daughter beating the stuffing out of both the boys with her super strength and speed they were defenseless. The whole party started laughing as Andrea chased them around our backyard. Jasper calmed down Andrea long enough for the boys to transform into human form and get dressed and when they came back to the party they looked like they both just got mauled by angry bears. To get Andrea back to human form Jasper made her relax and she rolled up into a ball and fell asleep and that's when she changed back into her normal form, but Alice grabbed her from Jasper and started to bring Andrea upstairs to get her in another dress.
While everyone was getting over the wolf thing I went into the kitchen to bring the cake that Esme just baked. I felt a little sad as I came into the living room with Esme, we couldn't light the candles because Carlisle wasn't sure it was safe for them to have them lighted at this age. When I came into the living room everyone was dead silent looking at Leah going completely loony at first I thought she drank too much but then I saw all my girls giggling as Leash did the chicken dance with Amy in her hands. I felt sorry for Leah so I got Amy away from her but she was still acting crazy and Amy refused to make her better so for the whole party Amy kept on doing things to her that made her and everyone else laugh especially her father that was laughing harder than anyone in the room. The party was cut short for the good of everyone, we manage to get Andrea to tell Amy to fix Leah and as soon as she did Amy fixed everything so I kind of figured Andrea was the master mind controlling everything. To my surprise Amanda and Nahuel were talking quietly I think he was talking about his past to her, the only well behaved out of my three daughters. Most matured I think it came from being born first, but she seemed to have intelligence of a twenty year old in a one year old body, she was the only one that could form proper sentences out my daughters and she seem to connect to Nahuel perfectly, maybe she'll end up with him. If that does happen I will support them a hundred percent.
By the time they were three I could tell my daughters apart from each other, not because we made sure that they had different hair styles and lengths of hair and clothes to help the rest of the family to tell them apart, Amy had hair down to her shoulders that were always in pig-tails and she wore only dress and skirts, Amanda had hair down to her elbows with her hair in a little pony- tail that left her a lot of hair out and she wore only sweaters and skirts and Andrea had hair way past her bum in a full pony-tail and she wore overalls and shorts and baggy clothes that I really have no idea how she doesn't trip over her big clothes. The only thing they all had in common was that they all had side bangs that covered there left eyes a little. From all that I didn't need any differences in their appearances to tell them apart. Amanda was the brightest and most mature of them all to the point that I can see the logic in everything she did so she could never fool me with a switch in styles they use to fool the others. Amy is a very mischievous girl that doesn't seem to use her powers when Andrea told her anymore, and she adopted Alice's hyper girliness so it was impossible for her to also fool me she thought both of her sisters were fashion blind. Andrea was the hardest to get from all of them, but I finally got her she was a very edgy girl that loved to every extreme sport…to put it bluntly she was a tom-boy that hated all girly things so whenever she switched with her sisters I could see a hint of disgust in her face which always gave her away. They were all different like day and night Amanda love to stay in her room and read books that were way beyond what three year olds should really be reading, but it kept her from getting bored and causing trouble. Amy loved going shopping every day with Alice to find new clothes because she refuses to wear the same thing twice, which left her with the most clothes in her closet; she is also an amazing artist she could draw anything that looked like someone just took a picture. Andy was usually out of the house playing with either Emmett or Jacob and his pack, she loved to get muddy and dirty doing extreme sports that I try my hardest not to picture because if I do I would probably force her to stay inside the house. She was the son that Jacob always wanted, she could do anything way better than any of the boys so that made him happy, but Andrea wasn't only interested in life treating sports, she loved music which Edward was happy to help her with, she was almost as good as him in piano within a month of lessons. She now knew how to play the piano, guitar, drums and the violin. They were all unique in their own ways but they all got along like three peas in a pod, so it was pretty peaceful with them going to school and never complaining or fighting. The real drama didn't start happen till they were sixteen and two out of three of them…had…boyfriends.
