"Okay, let's see" I said plopping down on my couch next to Bella.

She took a handful of popcorn from the bowl in her lap and opened the book.

"I think we should start with middle names" she said, "I have ideas"

"Okay" I said, "Shoot"

"Ahn, Edward"

"What?"

"No, the middle name… Edward" she said.

I looked at her, and she was biting her lip.

"You don't have to" I said.

"I want to"

"Really?" I asked grinning.

"Yeah"

"So, I have an idea for the girl's middle name"

"Not Isabella, or Bella" she said.

"No" I grinned, "Marie"

"Edward, no" she said.

"You don't like it?"

"I don't want to put my name in my daughter"

"Well, than we can't put my name in our son"

She rolled her eyes and sighed.

"We'll see. Maybe" she mumbled.

I smiled victoriously. We started reading names and meaning, and we had a hundred options when we finished the book.

"I like William, but with Edward would be… too much" Bella said.

"Maybe we should put William and forget Edward" I said.

"But you said…"

"I know, but if we put Edward, we have to put Marie" I insisted.

"Forget it, Edward. We're not going to put Marie" she sighed.

"Then we won't put Edward"

She glared at me and I smiled sweetly at her.

"Fine" she huffed, "We won't put Edward"

I shrugged. It wasn't a big deal for me. But I wanted to put Marie.

"Okay, but I was thinking. We have to put Marie" I said.

"I gave up Edward" she whined.

"But I want Marie"

"No" she said.

We stayed in the same discussion for an hour until I gave up. Bella grinned like Cheshire cat when I gave up 'Marie'.

"So, we have to find names and middle names" Bella said checking our list.

"I like Elizabeth" I said.

"I like it too" she said, "But isn't like a… Too classical name?"

"Yeah" I shrugged, "But we like it"

"Okay" Bella said, "How about Elizabeth as middle name"

"Sounds good"

"Okay, one middle name already chosen. The other now"

"Colin?"

"No" she said frowning.

"Charles? Like your dad?"

"That wouldn't be fair with Carlisle"

"Right…" I said nodding, "I'm out of ideas"

"This is worse than I thought! It's too hard!" she whined.

"That's what she said" we heard Emmett say.

We turned and he, Rose, Alice and Jazz were entering the apartment.

"Excuse me? Why are you in my apartment?"

"We came to watch a movie" Emm said.

"And help with the names!" Alice said.

"Yup. We'll have a loooong night" Bella sighed. "Guys, we appreciate but we want to do it alone"

"Told ya" Jasper said to Alice and Emmet smirking.

"But… Come on! We have great ideas!" Alice whined.

"No. Get out" I said.

She pouted at us and we continued to shake our heads. It was useless. Once she and Emmett wanted something they got it. So we spent the rest of the night watching movies and letting names' choice for later. When the second movie ended, Bella had fallen asleep against my shoulder. The guys were leaving and asked if I wanted they to give her a ride home.

"No, let her sleep. I'll put her in bed" I said gently pushing her away.

I got up from the couch stretched and frowned at the guys that sat back down on the couches, and ate popcorn with smirks. I wrapped my arms around Bella, and tried to lift her, almost yelling in pain as my back hurt with the effort.

"Shit, how much she weights?" I said while stretching again while they chuckled.

"Well, she weighted around 125 pounds before…" Jasper said smiling, "No she must weight around 145"

"Want some help?" Emmett asked getting up.

"Yes, please" I said.

We lifted her, and he helped me take her to my bedroom, and lay her down on the bed. The guys went home, and I was getting my pajamas when Bella woke up. She could have woken up before I tried to lift her. She looked at me, and smiled.

"I fell asleep?"

"Yeah. Go back to sleep. I'll be in the living room"

"Don't be silly, Edward. I can't steal your bed" she said sitting up.

"You can't sleep in the couch"

"Well…" she said looking around and blushed. "I don't mind sharing. Do you?"

"No…" I said hesitantly.

"Come on, there's a lot of space" she said patting the spot beside her.

"Fine. But you won't wake up punching my nose again, right?" I joked.

She rolled her eyes and laid back down, falling asleep immediately. I joined her, and couldn't help but wrap my arms around her belly before falling asleep, holding Bella in the same bed where all began.

I woke up hour later with my right arm numb. I look at it and saw Bella had rolled over, snuggling into my side, an arm around my waist, and lying on my arm. I tried to pull it without awaking her, but I couldn't move it. I could feel my fingertips, white from lack of blood flow. I tried to roll Bella away, so I could pull my arm. No use, she was really heavy. I shook her a little, and she stirred, rolled over, freeing my arm, and hugged one of the pillows, going back to her peaceful sleep.

"Edward" she breathed.

I smiled and kissed her forehead before going to sleep again, careful with my arm.


"I give up" Bella said and took a huge bite of a cupcake.

"Come on, we made some progress…" I tried to cheer her.

"No" she said wiping her mouth with a napkin. "I know. I choose the girl's name and you the boy's"

"Why don't we do the inverse?"

"Because you'll name her Isabel, or Marie" she narrowed her eyes.

"No, you're right" I said thinking she would name the boy Edward then. "So, when do we have to say the name?"

"Now" she said and smiled. "You first"

"Ahn… Lucas Thomas?" I said not really thinking.

"Oh, I liked it!" she said excitedly.

"Really?" I asked.

"Yeah! Lucas Thomas… Little Luke" she grinned. "And Thomas means twin. Perfect!"

"Okay" I smiled at her. "Then, Lucas Thomas. And the girl?"

"Lee Anne" she said and arched an eyebrow. "Too bad?"

"No. I liked! I loved it!" I said smiling, "Lee. Lovely!"

"Okay, then" she chuckled. "I guess the names are set"

"Just a month…" I said reaching a hand and touching her belly softly. One of the babies kicked.
