Anybody notice how I forgot about Rosalie's pregnancy? Haha. I just realized that. I guess she will go a little over her due date. Well, I hope you like this chapter. It should be great. Bella finds out the sex of the babies! –Love and Rockets, Shalaina. PS. This chapter will skip ahead another month, but I only want to do that because I want Bella to find out the gender then it will go back to 2 or 3 weeks at a time. Don't worry guys; Edward will be back before you know it! ;D
BPOV (1 month later)
I really hope parenthood isn't as bad as Rosalie made it out to be. She was always complaining about not getting any sleep and how he was always crying. She was always yelling at everyone, no matter what they were doing. Oh yeah, did I mention Rose had her baby boy? Yep. Jonathan Daniel Cullen was born about three weeks ago.
Emmett was absolutely great with him and was always saying positive things about him finally being in the world, but Rosalie. Wow. She had all of these leftover hormones built up and she was unleashing them left and right.
I, however, have hit my five month mark, well a few days over and I get to find out the sex of the babies today. I honestly didn't even have a guess as to what they would be. The Cullen's thought they were girls, but I know Edward wanted a boy and a girl. I honestly could care less as to what the gender was because I would love them unconditionally, boy or girl.
Now, here I sat, at Carlisle and Esme's house, waiting for Alice to get her scrawny butt down here to take me to my appointment. I would have asked Rosalie to go, but I had been really cranky lately and I didn't want to deal with her crap. Plus, I knew she probably wouldn't want to leave John. I absentmindedly rubbed my stomach while crunching on a piece of watermelon with salt on it, my latest craving. Last week it was spaghetti and chicken strips, all chopped up together with ketchup. The strong smell of the ketchup kind of made m gag, but it was so good, I couldn't help but eat it. My babies want what my babies want.
"I'm here!" Alice busted through the front door, scaring me out of my thoughts. "Gosh, I'm sorry I'm late Bella, but there is just so much I can do in the little time you give me."
"I told you about this appointment five hours ago Alice."
"So? I had to pick out the perfect outfit for finding out the sex of your babies, then I had to fix my hair, which was not easy, let me tell you!-" She was about to go on, but I cut her off.
"Alice, I'm not in the mood. Can we just go?" I walked to the kitchen to put my dirty bowl in the sink, then put on a light jacket and lead Alice outside. She knew not to mess with me when I was in an irritable mood.
When we got to the hospital, we had to wait forever to get in the room. Maybe it was due to the fact that we were about 30 minutes early, but there was like no one in the waiting room, so what could possibly be taking up all the rooms?
"Isabella Cullen." Great. Lauren Mallory. Again. Like I needed to deal with her today.
Alice and I got up and followed her back to the ultrasound room. She was popping her gum the whole way there and I was about to slap her. Once we got in the room, she started doing the normal protocol. Blood pressure, heart beat, etc.
Right before she left the room, she had to open her big mouth. "So, who'd you sleep with after Edward left Bella? You were obviously waiting for him to be gone, so you wouldn't have to sneak around anymore." She sneered.
"I didn't sleep with anyone, but Edward, Lauren! These are Edward's babies. I got pregnant right before he left."
"Whatever, you're a whore and you know it."
"Wow. You would know exactly what whoring is like wouldn't you Lauren?"
She just huffed and walked away. It wasn't my best argument, but she got the point. Finally, the doctor came in and checked the other necessary things then rolled out the ultrasound machine.
"Do you want to find out the sex today, Bella?" Mr. Moor asked.
"Absolutely!" I said excitedly. Alice was bouncing silently next to me.
Dr. Moor put the icky goo on my stomach and I shivered from the coldness. She moved the little and around my lower abdomen. After a while she sighed. "It seems they don't want to let me see." She moved the wand around more and after another five minutes, she put her hands on my stomach and kind of massaged it a little. She looked perplexed.
"What's the matter, doc?" I asked worried.
"I'm sorry, Bella. But it doesn't look like you're going to be able to find out the sex today. Maybe when you come back in a few months you'll be able to see. Unless you just want to be surprised."
I usually didn't like surprises, but I could make an exception on this. I didn't even think about this being a surprise until now, I was just so anxious to find out what my babies were.
"I think I'll keep it a surprise, doctor, thank you." Alice handed me a Kleenex and I wiped all the goo off then pulled my shirt down.
"Well, I'll see you in a few months Bella. After our next appointment, you should be about ready to pop. Bye bye!" She handed me a paper with a copy of her preferences concerning how far along I am then left the room.
"Oh, Bella! This is so exciting, now we can shop for both genders!"
"What if I don't have or boy? Or if I don't have a girl?"
"Well then we'll keep it for the next baby!" She was just so excited to shop; I wasn't going to ruin it for her.
"Before we leave, I have to pee!" I said, hurrying to the bathroom. Ah, the perks of having two babies lying on your bladder.
As I was coming out of the bathroom, rounding the corner to go back to Alice, I almost bumped into someone.
"Whoa, I am so sorry, I didn't see you there." A male voice said.
I looked up and a guy about my age was standing in front of me. He had black spiky hair and was bulky, but not as built as Emmett.
"Oh, it's okay; I should have been watching where I was going." Tried to step around him, but he cut me off subtly.
"I'm Jacob. What's your name, beautiful?"
"Bella, now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to my friend." I tried to move around him and finally made it this time. But unfortunately, he followed me.
"That's a pretty name. Can I ask why you're here?"
"It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out." I told him, pointing to my stomach.
"Oh, I, uh, didn't see that there. Well, I guess I'll go, maybe I'll see you later." He said then hurried off. That's what I thought. No guy likes an already pregnant woman.
"What are they? What are they? What are they?" Esme was practically pulling an Alice and jumping up and down as we entered the house.
"Well, they were being stubborn and not letting Dr. Moor see their sex, so I've decided to keep it a surprise until they are born." I said, rubbing my stomach lightly.
"That's wonderful, Bella. We'll just set up the nursery using its original jungle theme." She smiled and walked off to the kitchen to make dinner.
"I'm so excited Alice. I can't wait to find out what they are." I sat down on the couch and she sat down beside me.
"You should go upstairs and rest, Bella, you've been on your feet all day." She said.
"Yeah, I'm exhausted. I'll see you tomorrow, Alice."
"Goodnight, Bella."
Yeah, I know it's really short, but I wanted to get this chapter out. It's been two weeks and I didn't want to keep you guys waiting anymore.
I hope you're okay with me keeping the genders a surprise. I just wanted to keep it interesting you know? Anyway, hope you enjoyed the chapter. Thanks for reading. –Love and Rockets, Shalaina.
PS: I have started another account with my best friend Mary called AcceptableHumans, we haven't posted our story yet and it won't be Twilight, it's an original book, but I hope you'll check it out when it's posted. Thanks!
