BPOV
When everyone was seated, I sighed and was going to repeat the twins' name but Alice and Jasper beat me to it. Wow! This is going to be one long night. I'm just glad Phil and Renee aren't in town for the week. They all at me with expectant eyes. I sighed again, then, Edward gave me a quick peck on the head and I felt my confidence boost up instantaneously.
'The day, you dropped me off at my dad's, to go on that week- long hunting trip, I was getting sick quite a bit, so he took me to the hospital. They did the usual check- up and found out I was pregnant. You can't imagine how pissed my father was when he found out. Naturally, like any parent would act, he overreacted and forced me on a plane. While I was throwing a fit, the necklace holding my wedding ring, slipped off my neck. Well, let's just say I haven't spoken to Charlie since.
'Bella, when we got back and I went to Charlie's, he wasn't there. It was like he moved or something.'
'Oh! About that, he requested to be transferred to another city. I don't know where exactly. I have been staying with my Mom and Phil, since then. Though, I wasn't given as much freedom as I have now. I tried calling your house a lot after I was given my freedom back, but no one answered. I called Angela and she told me that you moved a while ago.'
'Jasper, I don't mean to be rude by asking this, but how is it that you're not affected by the smell of Max and Ally's blood?'
'Well, to tell you the truth, Edward's scent is masking everything altogether. To you, his pheromones smell nice, but to me and the rest of us, it smells like old sweaty socks,' we all laugh at Edward's discomfort.
'Bella, when are the twins' birthday?'
'May 10th'. Alice squeals with utter delight. I can't help but wonder what she has planned. We continue to talk about Max and Ally and what happened during the pregnancy for about an hour, when the twins wake up simultaneously and begin to cry. Great! Everyone, except Carlisle and Esme, look at me wondrously. I just explain that their hungry and start to stand up to get the baby bag from the car, but Edward, as usual, goes instead.
He comes back with the bag and we head off to the kitchen. Everything looks almost the same. I brought out their bottles, filled a saucepan with water, put the bottles in the saucepan and switched on the gas. While I was doing all this, Edward followed my every move.
'What?'
'Nothing' he answers and continues to watch me, smiling the whole time.
'Please tell me.'
'Okay', he sighs defeated 'it's just that, I feared I'll never see you again, and I can't believe that I'm actually a father. I'm just extremely happy.' He walks over to me, human pace, holds my face between both palms and kisses me ever so gently, but at the same time with intense passion. It wasn't until we heard someone clear their throat that we stopped. We turned to see who it was. I was shocked to see the family by the door looking at us. To say I blushed a little is an understatement.
'Wow man, at least let the poor girl breath', only Emmett will say something like that. His statement made me blush even more.
'We came to see what was taking so long because they won't stop crying. By the way we have tried everything' Rosalie.
I took the bottles off the fire and tested them, they were a little too hot, and so I set them down to cool and went to collect Max from Rosalie while Edward took Ally from Esme. Almost immediately after Edward collected Ally, she stopped crying. I, on the other hand, don't have much luck, Max was still crying. Just to see what effect Edward would have on him, I pass him over to Edward. Sure enough, Max stops crying as well. Now I feel even more insignificant.
Everyone just marvels at the scene before them. Both babies, in their father's arms, are just quiet and looking up at him. Edward seems to be in heaven right now, because he can't stop smiling (like a mad man) and can't take his eyes off them.
I test the milk again and they have cooled down to the right temperature. We walk back to into living room. The scene that greeted me when I entered the room was purely classic. Emmett and Carlisle (of all people, Carlisle) were arguing with the rrest of the family that it was their turn to hold the twins. After arguing for about a minute or two, I had to grant them their wish. How could I let them down, they did make strong points.
After burping the babies, they dozed off rather quickly- probably with the help of jasper-. Hey! Who am I to complain. I wish he was there during the earlier stages.
'Okay. I think it's time for me to take the little ones home'.
'HOME!' They all said in unison. They all looked so heartbroken, but the worst were Edward and Alice
'Bella, please spend the night here. I could get everything you need for the night'. This came from Alice
'Tomorrow morning, we can take you back to your house' Edward continued. He did that smouldering thing he does, while giving me that puppy dog look. Hey, how can I say no to that face? He looked satisfied with the expression on my face. Alice gives a squeal of delight and I tell her everything I need, including the address to my house. She and jasper were out the door in no time flat.
'Let's take them up to my room' Edward says as he carries both twins in his arms. We walk up in silence. I opened the door and saw how totally different the room looked. It was so simple but elegant. On one side of the room was Edward's collection of cds and the cd player, on another was a black leather sofa, but what caught my eye was the bed. It was huge. It was a princess sized, four poster bed with cream and red, Egyptian cotton sheets. He placed Max and Ally on the bed and we went over to the sofa.
We laid there just talking and kissing. Well kissing most of the time. In the middle of our make out session, Alice barges in.
'Oops! Sorry'
'You know Alice, there is a thing called knocking' Edward states.
'I said I was sorry. Anyway here are your things. I also got you some take- out'.
'Thanks Alice and don't mind him. He just missed me too much'.
I can see that' she says and laughs.
Until I started eating my pasta, that was when I realized how hungry I was with Edward and Alice watching me as usual. After eating and talking for a while with Alice, I decided to take a shower. Alice gave me one of her pyjamas. I headed to the bathroom and had a quick shower. By the time I came out, Alice was gone and Edward was on the bed watching the twins in amazement.
He looked up at me and said 'it's so hard to believe that they are ours. I feel like the luckiest man in the world'. I just looked at him and nodded. I don't even remember when I fell asleep.
AN: Thanks for all the reviews. Now I understand how hard it is for people to update. Sorry the chapter is short.
