(A/N: Special thanks to Leibeezer! Who gave me my first and second reviews! I love you all but Grrr... sometimes you make me mad. I've had over 160 views for this story but only two reviews. There's no reason you 164 viewers can't review, it only takes a minute and it takes me about two hours to publish each chapter. Enjoy chapter four!)
**Four week time skip, Bella POV**
After I had gotten sick again Edward pulled me up. "I don't get it. I was sick a month ago. I hope I'm not getting sick again!" I wailed. His cool hands brushed back my hair and put it in a messy ponytail. "Go get dressed, love." I nodded and changed out of my pajamas. "Where are we going?"
Edward passed me the carton of strawberries. He filled up a water bottle with chocolate milk. "The OB GYN."
"What? But I tested negative. You know that. And we haven't done anything since." I took my strawberries and chocolate milk and we walked to his car hand in hand. We only had one car. There was only enough space at the apartment complex for each apartment owner to have one.
"Bella, think about it. You can't stay on your feet for more than two minutes without feeling dizzy. Every morning you ask for strawberries and chocolate milk. You've been getting upset more than usual. You've been throwing up a ton. It all fits together perfectly. Please, let's just go and make sure. We have nothing to lose." I groaned.
"Of course there is. We're losing money. Money that could be spent on a car or a house. I'm not going!" I flung the car door back open. Earlier this week Edward and Carlisle had insisted on getting me a boot to wear after I hurt my foot trying - and failing - to run away. It got in my way and I landed on the ground face first. Edward came running after and scooped me up.
"You okay? Can I feel?"
"I'm fine!" I snarled. His hand traveled down to my foot. I couldn't help but wince. "Edward stop babying me! I told you I'm fine." I kicked his hand away.
"Bella, you broke something. Stop trying to go places without my assistance. Please understand that I just want to help and make it better."
"Help?!" I screeched. "You just caused me unnecessary pain for crying out loud!"
Edward set me back down in the passenger seat. The drive there was silent. It hurt to conceal my limp walking down the hallway, but it was better than getting a cast. I just wanted to get out of here.
~Edward POV~
The room was painted with pink and blue stripes. This was the room that was going to change our future forever. Bella rolled her eyes at the colors and laid down. "All right, Mrs. Isabella Cullen. Take it away." She motioned to Bella. Bella rolled her eyes privately to me.
"I've been getting sick nonstop and we.. did it... 5 weeks ago. Without protection. We tried a test but I scored negative."
"Okay. Please go take this one." The nurse pulled out a pregnancy test out of the drawer. Bella left the room. We sat in comfortable silence until she came back.
"Negative..."
I squeezed her hand and gave her a reassuring look. "Ah right. Can you lay down again, Isabella? I am going to run one final test." Bella shrugged and leaned back. "This is going to be cold," the nurse warned, holding up a tube that reminded me a bit of toothpaste. Bella giggled slightly at the touch and I grinned back at her. "I love you," she mouthed my direction. She turned her attention to the screen.
"Ah, yes. Congratulations, you are pregnant after all. Exactly five weeks."
Bella smiled, unusually showing all teeth. This was real. We were having a baby together. Bella and I.
"Oh wait. There's another."
"Excuse me?"
"It's twins," she confirmed. Bella stared down at her stomach in disbelief. She moved her hand gently along, picking up some goo in the process. She wiped it on her leg.
"Would you like a photo?" The woman asked. Bella opened her mouth to answer but nothing came out. "Please," I answered for her. The nurse left and I turned to Bella.
Bella rolled onto her side and I stroked back some of the hair that fell out of the sloppy ponytail. "Still too stunned to speak?" I joked.
The nurse - who never told us her name - returned with pictures and a damp washcloth she handed to Bella. She scribbled on her clipboard.
"Okay, Isabella Cullen. I want to see you again in five weeks. Then we can tell you the genders if you would like. Any questions?" Bella nodded. "When do I first feel them move?"
"Any time between 10 weeks and 22 weeks is normal. Okay. Now, I want you to take these vitamins two times a day until the babies arrive. I'll give you another at 20 weeks." She gave us the clouded plastic jar.
"Thank you." As Bella and I left the facility her limp grew worse by the step. Once in the car, I called Carlisle to tell him we were coming over. Esme was ready for us at the door. She hugged us both and took a step back.
"Oh, Bella! You look pale. Are you feeling okay?"
"Actually, can I sit down?" Esme nodded and I carried Bella over to the couch. "I'm fine, I'm okay," she tried to reassure Esme. "I can't stand too long, I had to quit work. I can't stand long enough to work."
"You poor dear. Let me know if I can get you anything." Bella nodded.
"Sorry. I've been feeling very dizzy lately. I'm fine if I'm sitting, though." Esme pressed her hand against Bella's forehead. "How are you feeling, Bella? Have you figured out what's making you sick?" Bella and I exchanged glances. We slowly nodded.
"I'm pregnant." Esme's face was priceless. It was her first grand child after all. "And it's twins!" I chimed in, laughing and pulling Bella into my lap. I reached around and my hands connected together in front of her stomach.
"Congratulations, you two! I'm so happy for you!" Esme swarmed us with questions.
"Doctor Cullen always knows best," Carlisle laughed.
"May I feel, sweetie?" Esme motioned to Bella's stomach.
"Of course. You don't have to ask." I took my hands off and Esme's hands replaced mine.
"You can't really feel anything yet," Bella said, obviously feeling a bit disappointed. "But you should start showing in a few short weeks. Because there's two," Carlisle pointed out.
"I'm going to go use the bathroom real quick." Bella got up. She walked away, her limp obvious.
"Bella, what happened?" Both my parents asked. "Crap." She tilted her head back and groaned. I laughed.
