CHAPTER 7
-Bella, are you feeling ok? - Rose asked when she noticed that Bella was moving constantly on the couch.
That evening, they were all seating on the couch and on the floor watching a movie. It had been two months since Renee and Charlie had took the twins back home with them, and the Bella/Edward situation had returned to normality again, except when Carlisle forced them to go together to buy some new stuff for the baby.
Bella was laying down on one of the couches surrounded by pillows, but still she was not comfortable. A couple of days ago she had started to feel pain in her pelvic area, as if they were contractions, and frightened she had called Carlisle, who reassured her and talk to Esme to take her to the hospital so that they could have a check on her. At the end it turned out to be what is known as Braxton Hicks contractions, which were preparing her for the upcoming birth of her baby, so they sent her back home telling her to just rest. But that contractions were now painful, she could hardly sleep and the fact that she had to get up to the bathroom every two hours didn't help either.
-Yeah- she growled uncomfortably.
She was on the week thirty-three of her pregnancy and now she had only seven weeks to go. She wanted that time to pass as fast as possible. Esme, Rosalie and her mother were preparing her a Baby Shower for the following week and they had invited so many people that they had to hire a ballroom in a hotel. The only man invited to that party was Edward, and he was trying to wriggle out with thousands of excuses, nevertheless, nothing was enough for Esme and she had to threaten him with his car and his most favorite chocolate cookies. When she said those last words Edward agreed, all for the cookies.
Bella continued squirming uncomfortably on the couch until she gave a little kick to Edward, which was on floor.
-Mom! Bel... Isabella has attacked me- Everyone in the room laughed, except for Alice which gave Bella a murderous look- What's so funny? She hit me!
-Don't complain son, you know she has done it unintentionally. Besides if you had remembered to use the "protection" I gave you, you would have avoided the situation.
Bella stood up with great difficulty attracting everyone's attention.
-Where are you going? The film hasn't finished yet- Emmett asked.
-I am going to throw this baby down the toilet. God, I want the baby out of me! - She answered as she disappeared through the corridors to the bathroom.
...
The chair she was sat down at was really very uncomfortable, but she was on the week thirty-five of her pregnancy and she couldn't stand anything, everything was uncomfortable at this point and besides she needed to put a happy face for her mother, Esme, Rose and Rose's mother Lillian Hale; who had worked pretty hard for the Baby Shower. They were all crazy from Bella's point of view but they were so happy she couldn't deny anything about what they wanted.
Soon, a lot of people started to arrived, there were women she didn't even knew and some of her high school classmates, with whom she hadn't spoken in her entire life but still had gone just to gossip. They brought many different sizes present which they started to pile up on a table. On the main table there was a white four-story cake and decorated with little green flowers matching the rest of the room, besides that cake there was a smaller one made with diapers.
Many of the woman approached her to congratulate her about the baby, which hopefully would soon be with her, an to ask her how was she doing those last weeks of her pregnancy to which she answered with a brief "I'm fine thank you" for that, she received a few scolding's from her mother and Esme which were asking her to be nicer to their guests. But how would she be nice to them when she felt like a big deal?
A couple of hours later, Esme got up from her seat and with a little spoon she hit a glass.
-Girls- she started- it's time to open the presents!
They started to give Bella some of the packages they had previously left on the table. A woman gave her a towel heater; other ones were more practical and less imaginative so they gave her baskets with plenty of baby supplies on them like, creams, brushes or towels. One of the most popular gifts was the bottles, clothes, and a mobile for the crib so they could hear the baby without being in the same room and teddy bears. Truth to be told she wasn't sure what was she going to do with all that stuff. It was too much.
At eight o´clock all the women started to leave the party. The family girls, started to put everything in the car with Edward's help while Bella was inside waiting for them to finish and leave towards home. She was exhausted, sleepy and hungry, besides she needed to go to the bathroom, but she was unable to get up alone, she needed help for everything right now and she hated that. They finished soon, and the only vacant seat was on Edward's ride, it looked like they had done it on purpose, so she had no choice but to go with him. The baby was moving constantly and giving kick, which was now very uncomfortable and painful.
-Auch- She complained when she received a kick from the baby.
-It's everything okay? - Edward inquired nervously. He didn't want to presence the moment when Bella started the labor, he wouldn't know what to do, and Bella complaining made him think it could be the moment anytime; he wanted to be as far away as possible.
-I'm okay, just continue driving and shut up- she growled.
When they arrived home, Bella started to climb the stairs without saying anything; she was not in a good mood.
TWO DAYS LATER…
Alice was sleeping at a friend's house, or at least that was what she had said, Rosalie and Emmett were watching a movie in the cinema and they were planning on spending the evening on the Hale house and Carlisle and Esme had gone to a restaurant to celebrate their anniversary. The only ones at home were Bella and Edward, and the last one was there because he had been forced to, since the first couldn't stay alone. She had insisted she could stay in her parents' house perfectly, but Carlisle and Esme had decline the suggestion claiming that Renee was alone taking care of the twins and she couldn't do anything if Bella started to labor, which she think it was very unlikely as she was 35 weeks pregnant.
The clock on her nightstand marked three-thirty in the morning and Bella was wandering when Esme and Carlisle would arrive home. It was starting to be late and she was worried. She was feeling increasing pain in the pelvic area and this was starting to put her extremely nervous, she didn't know what to do. She was moving constantly searching for the right position but the pain never left her body, and they were even more frequent now. She thought that maybe she just needed to pee, so with no little effort, she got up and headed to the bathroom. Once there, she was putting on its place the gown her mother had given her when she felt how something was making her legs wet. She looked down and saw a little puddle around her. Her body began to tremble and she started to shock her head. Some minutes later, when a new contraction heat her, she realized, she needed to keep calm, and started to walk toward Edward's room and after knocking on the door several times she entered, that was something she wouldn't had done in a normal situation but she hoped Edward wouldn't get angry.
Edward was lying on his bed with his head hanging from one of it sides and the blanket was wrapped around his body. Bella walked to him and started to touch his shoulder gently while saying his name, however, he was so far gone on his sleep that she couldn't got him up getting more nervous on the process, so she started to shout his name and to shake him. Edward snapped awake.
-What's going on? - He asked when he opened his eyes and saw Bella standing besides the bed he was in and realizing she had been the one waking her up- What are you doing in my room?
-The baby is coming- Edward opened his eyes and began to laugh- What are you laughing about? This isn't funny!
-You're joking right? - When he saw Bella shocking her head, his face turned pale- Isabella tell me this is a joke, please!
-It's not a jok...- She stopped middle sentence, holding her stomach, as she felt a painful contraction. Edward saw her without reaction as if he was in shock- Call Carlisle please, this is so painful!
Edward got up quickly and took his phone to call his father. He sat on the ground trembling and trying to heat the correct number.
-What do you want at 3:30 AM Edward- Carlisle asked with a sleepy voice.
-Dad...- his voice was trembling- Bella says the baby is coming.
-What? Why is she saying that? - Carlisle wanted to know.
-Bella my father asks why are you saying that the baby is coming? - Bella squinted.
-Because I am having contractions, and I my water broke like ten minutes ago! - She shouted annoyed.
-Ok Edward listen to me. Take her to the hospital immediately- Carlisle told him hearing Bella through the phone- I will call her doctor and I will see you both at the hospital- Before Edward could say a word the connection was broken.
-What did he said? Edward! What did Carlisle told you? - She asked when he didn't say a word.
-That...That I have to take you to the hospital.
-And why are you not moving that stupid ass of yours up from the floor and taking me taking me to the hospital? - Edward got up, when he heard Bella's voice. He didn't want to upset a laboring woman.
-I want the fucking epidural now! - Bella shouted when she felt a new contraction.
-Bella they can't get you the epidural jet, you have just dilate two centimeters.
-I don't care! I want it! - She whimpered.
It had been an hour and a half since Bella had arrived to the hospital and she had only dilated 2 centimeters which meant that she would be there for a long time. They were all in Bella's room, Bella's parents were there as well as Edward's; Edward was on a corner overwhelmed by the whole situation. He had wanted to return home once he left Bella at the hospital but a very serious Carlisle stopped him saying that if he miss that moment he would regret it forever and that he was sure Edward wanted to see his baby crying for the first time so he stayed there in a corner hearing Bella scream with every upcoming contraction. He was not ready for that.
-Hello Bella How is it my soon to be mom? - Dr. Stevenson asked when she entered the room.
...
-I hope you get hit by a train, we will see if you ask me how I am then- Bella asked irritated. Dr. Stevenson smiled whit that comment. It was not the first one and definitely not the last time a mother and especially a first time mother told her something like that.
-Okay, I need you to leave the room, I am going to check on Bella again- Everyone exited the room and Dr. Stevenson sat down on the bed between Bella's legs and started the revision- It seems like everything it's going on fine Bella. And quick you are almost four centimeter dilated so do you want the epidural?
-Yes, please yes! - Bella begged.
-Fine, let me call the anesthesiologist okay? - Bella nodded because finally the pain would cease.
Forty minutes later, Bella was totally relaxed lying on the bed, she could not feel her lower part of the body but it was far better than the pain she was feeling before
6 HOURS LATER…
-Truth be told Bella, you are surprising me, you are a first timer and this is going really fast! - Said the doctor checking she had dilated 10 centimeters now, and that she was able to push.
-Is she ready? - Carlisle asked.
-Yes, she is- The doctor answered- Bella, let me get everything ready and then you can start to push- Bella nodded fighting the need to help her little baby to get out.
-Finally we are going to know whether it is a boy or a girl- Said both grandmothers.
-Edward come here, you don't want to miss it.
-Do you really think it is necessary dad? Edward asked reluctantly.
-Yes, come here- He said pointing Bella's bed corner. Edward approached the bed mumbling quietly.
After the doctor had everything right in position, she made Carlisle and Renee to hold Bella's legs while she started to push.
TWO HOUR LATER…
-Came on Bella! You have to push harder, if not these baby is not coming out and we will need to do a c-section.
-I can't do it, I'm so tired- she cried.
-Of course you can honey, you are my baby girl and I know you are strong enough. For your baby, to see her or his little face and to know if it is a boy or a girl, came on! - Renee encouraged her.
When the next contraction arrived, Bella started to push with every strength she had left.
-Very well Bella, I can see the head, a little bit more and everything will be over honey!- Bella followed the orders the doctor was giving her and some minutes later the cute sound of a baby crying filled the room melting the heart of everyone, including Edward's who was watching everything shocked.
-Congratulation sweetie- The doctor said.
-What it is? - Bella asked starting to cry.
-It's a perfectly healthy and a handsome little boy.
...
Later they were all on the room watching the baby sleep tenderly in his mother arms.
-He's exactly like Edward when he was born. Look Edward he has your hair, I want to know whose eyes he has- Esme said looking to her grandson.
-Do you know how are you going to name him Bella? - Bella looked away from his son for a moment to look at Emmett.
-More or less, I have the first name but I haven't decided on the second one yet.
-Edward why don't you decide his second name? - Esme asked her son.
-Me? Do you want me to choose his name? - Edward asked astonished.
-Why not? It's your son too. What do you think Bella?
-I don't care; I don't really care about anything right now.
-Okay so Bella is going to decide about his name and Edward the second one, which is his first name?
-Ethan.
-Edward? - Edward started to think about names until he came up with one.
-Anthony?
-That's your second name- Carlisle said.
-I know, I like my name besides, it's your name two so I thought...
-Ok, I like it so Ethan Anthony Cullen, Welcome to the family- Carlisle said.
Everyone smiled
...
That night everyone left, leaving the new parents alone. The forced Edward to stay with Bella and help her taking care of their son; from now on they would have to take care of him and they had to learn how to manage, other than try and establish a good relationship between them.
If there was any doubt in Edward's mind about the baby, it was completely dissipated from the first moment he saw Ethan. There was no doubt, that baby was his and a lot of feelings were moving inside of him. He was terrified about everything about Ethan, but he was also extremely happy even if he didn't exactly new why that was but there was one more feeling. Guilt. He felt guilty because he had been denying him for almost nine months. It was weird, he never thought it would be this way, Ethan had changed something inside of him and he knew he had to stop being the way he was. Everything had happened so quickly that he was a little dazed, it was like he was not the same person he was 24 hours ago, his world had changed and he could feel that inside.
When Bella and Ethan where sleeping peacefully, Edward got up from the uncomfortable chair he was sat down in and approached to his son's crib to watch him sleep. He was staring at him with a silly smile on his face; suddenly, he looked at Bella with that same grin on the face.
