A/N: I am so so sorry about the delay. RL has been manic as I fundraised and took my students out for christmas. Heres the next chapter with another one coming on Sunday.
I look at both officers while I struggle to control my anger.
The blonde officer looks smug and proud of his moves as he steps forward pulling out a notebook.
The short black haired one seems to be hesitant and upset by Officer Blondies' actions.
"Get out." I bark as I stare them down.
"Sir this will only take a few minutes of your time." The blondie states looking at me before turning to the bed. "Then you can get back to waiting for Miss Swan." I boil in anger as he sneers Bella's name as if she is some piece of dirt.
"I said get out." I shout at them hoping security or our body guards get here to help soon.
"Excuse me what is going on in here?" Angela says from the doorway eyeing up the police officers.
"We are conducting police business everyone other than Mr Cullen Junior will leave while we interview him."
"You were told to wait till the patient was awake." Angela states in a matter-of-fact tone.
"If Mr Cullen can have visitors then he is fine to give his statement."
I look at Angela and notice she mouths lawyer before my attention snaps back to the officers.
"Now Mr Cullen, where were you when the shooting started?" Officer Blondie barks.
"I have asked you to leave gentlemen." Angela states firmer whilest eyeing the blonde officer.
"We are conducting a police interview. If you don't leave you will be arrested for interfering in a police investigation." Officer Blondie barks staring at her.
"I want my lawyer. I will not be saying anything else." I watch Officer blondies face warps in disgust and dad pulls his phone out presumably to call our lawyer. I turn back to Bella and rub a knuckle down her face.
"Mr Cullen, there is no need for that." Officer Blondie sneers in clear disgust that I have lawyered up.
"Yes there is for a starter you've not even introduced yourselves secondly you have been told that I have to stay with my wife who is not up for visitors."
"Excuse me gentlemen." We all turn and see Angela at the door with three guys behind her and Dr Cheney in front.
"You gentlemen were told that you could interview and question my patient and her husband when she wakes up."
"We are questioning Mr Cullen. If he can have visitors he can answer questions." Blondie snaps agressivly at Ben.
"His visitors were authorised by me because they are the parents." Dr Cheney barks. "Security I want these men taken out the hospital I will not have them upsetting my patients, nurses or their families."
The three men move forward and grab the police officers by the arms to escort them out.
As the officers leave I can hear loud clapping from the other side of the wall.
I pop my head out the door and look on at all the nurses and Drs clapping and cheering as the officers are escorted out.
The police officers are shouting to be let go and issuing arrest threats as they are escorted out the area.
I look over to see my Mum bent over in laughter with my Dad chuckling and helping to hold her upright.
My attention is caught when one of the nurses walks forward.
"Mr Cullen you saved my life and the other staff and patients on this ward thank you. I just wish there was a better word but there isn't." She says as she looks down humbly.
I look around the room and see some people are crying and others are standing straight and some are toeing the ground.
The clapping starts again and I'm shocked at how many people are there let alone how many are actually looking at me.
"We tried to keep the officers away but they wouldn't listen." A short dark haired nurse says shyly looking at the ground when the clapping stops again.
"As far as we are concerned there is nothing we can't do for you and your wife." A tall blond says in the corner.
"I don't know what else to say but thank you." I say to everyone standing around.
"If there's anything you need please let us know." Another says.
"Right everyone back to work or your beds now." The tall blond barks and everyone scatters going to where they should be.
The tall blond nurse walks forward with her hand out.
"I'm the head nurse Jane please let me know if you need anything. And again thank you Mr Cullen. I owe you a lot of gratitude."
"I was just looking after my wife." I say not caring for her swooning.
"Yes there is. You saved my four year old daughter who was hidden in the janitor's closet with the rest of the staff nursery children." It's then that it clicks she means the nurse and children that were hidden in the cupboard.
I shake her hand and watch as she walks away.
"Well that was interesting." I chuckle looking at Dad who shakes his head in disbelief.
I walk back into the room and take Bella's hand before settling in for the long wait.
I don't know how long it is but I fall asleep only to wake up to the best feeling in the world my Bella's fingers drifting through my hair.
I moan before turning my head and looking into her eyes.
"Hi." I mumble sleepily rubbing at my eyes before sitting up. "How you feeling now?"
"Like a human being." She replies smiling at me a smile I soon return. "Edward, will you do something for me." She asks hesitantly looking down.
I stand up and pull her face up with a finger hooked under her chin.
"I would do anything and I mean anything for you." I say before passionately kissing her.
When we finally break away panting Bella looks into my eyes.
"Get Mum to organise a big mafia wedding."
I look at her shocked. "Bella?" I mumble unsure if I heard her right.
"I've been selfish Edward. Very selfish. You're right, the wedding needs to be done properly to show the other families I'm yours. That we are untouchable."
She whispers as her hand finds its way to her stomach.
I'm lost at what to say till I notice the tears down her face.
"Bella, love you need to calm down." I whisper as I wrap my arms around her and rub her back.
"I've been so selfish and stubborn I nearly got myself and bump killed." She cries into my neck.
"I love you Bella. I love you for who you are, and all the little things that make you who you are and I'll be here with you forever." I mumble into her hair hoping my words will calm her down.
After a few minutes I spot the call button and press it before waiting for Angela to come in.
I hear the door open then close again quickly and nothing else.
After a few more minutes and a sniffle Bella goes quiet.
"Bella" I whisper to check she's not cried herself to sleep.
"Yeah." She mumbles and pulls her head back to look into my face.
"I know something you don't know."
"What's that?" I smile at her question and look deep into her eyes.
"I'm in love with you. I have been since the day I met you. I just never realised it."
She smiles back at me before kissing my lips hard and passionately as her body sinks into mine.
"As have I."
We pull apart when we hear a throat clear and I see Ben in the doorway.
I quickly get back into my chair then smile at him.
"Hello Mrs Cullen I'm Dr..."
I watch as Bella turns to me and crosses her arms over her chest, raising her breasts. I look at her face to see the death look on her face.
'Fuck me I'm dead.'
"Mrs Cullen?" She seethes staring at me.
I look at the Ben hoping for some help.
"I am over here not there! "She snaps and my head snaps to her.
"Uuuuu."
"Edward Anthony Cullen!" She barks and my hands instinctively go to cover my jewels.
"I'm Swan not Cullen. What did you do?" She shouts as Angela now joins Ben and they try to hide their laughter.
I throw myself backwards resulting in me going over in the chair.
"Nothing." I quickly stand up and put my hands up. "I swear I did nothing." I plead with her to believe me.
She stares at me for a few minutes then mumbles "better not have."
Taking that as a good sign I slowly lift the chair up and look at Ben.
"My name is Isabella Marie Swan. Not. Cullen." She barks the last bit and I cower into my seat.
"Sorry Miss Swan." Dr Cheney says smiling at her. "as I was saying I'm Dr Cheney and I have been looking after you. Now I understand from your husband..."
"HUSBAND?" She shouts then turns to me.
"I did nothing I swear to you love." I try to find some help from anything or anyone but everyone is too busy standing in shock.
"Then why does he think you're my husband?" She barks pointing at Ben.
'How can I walk into a gunfight and not be afraid but an angry Bella scares the shit out of me?'
"Miss Swan." Bella turns to Ben staring at him. "That would be my fault ma'am." I watch him gulp as her eyes get narrower. As she gives him the Bella stare down.
"This hospital has a policy that only spouses can stay with their wives out of visiting hours."
Bella's features soften as he continues. "I felt that with everything that's gone on it might be best if Mr Cullen was here when you woke up."
"Oh." Bella says before blushing. "In that case thank you."
I take her hand in mine and squeeze it gently.
"Now I understand from Mr Cullen you've not had an ultrasound scan yet. am I correct?"
"No I've had one only." I look at Bella in shock.
"When was that?" I ask as this is the first I've heard of it.
"Just after Riley attacked me. I didn't look at the screen though. Told the Doctor I only wanted to know if bump was hurt. The first time I see bump I want it to be with you."
I burst into laughter and smile at her.
"Woman you have no idea how much I love you or how crazy you drive me."
"Miss Swan, you've now had two scans but Mr Cullen stepped out while we did one for the same reasons."
"We are a weird pair." She laughs. making me relax and laugh with her.
When we calm down again we watch as Angela brings in an ultra sound machine.
"Would you like to see them now?"
"Yes please." We say at the same time before I run around to the other side of Bella's bed and try to move a little closer to her.
I hold her hand and place a kiss in her hair as Ben moves her gown and blanket out of the way.
"I'm afraid this may be a bit cold." He looks at her as he rolls a bottle between his hands. "Sorry."
When he squirts some onto Bella's stomach she gasps, causing me to laugh.
"And here we go." Dr Cheney says before hitting a button filling the room with a fast thumping noise.
I turn to look down at Bella and see the tears running down her face.
"It's so fast." She says the amazement and wonder filling her voice as she smiles at me.
"They always are. Now you've listened to them do you want to see them?" Ben says and smiles at us.
I nod while Bella lets out a quiet but strained 'yes please.'
Ben turns the screen after pressing some buttons.
He points to the screen. "This is baby one's head and leg." His finger traces the screen.
'He said baby one. Why did he say baby one?'
I pull at my hair in confussion
' we only have one baby unless...'
As it hits me he moves the wand slightly and "This is baby number two."
"Twins!" Bella squeaks staring at the screen. "Are you sure?"
"Has no one told you?" He asks and we both shake our heads. "I know nothing but baby was okay when they said 'they' I thought they meant a baby."
Bella says calmly but her hands are slightly shaking.
"Well Miss Swan it's triplets not twins."
"Triplets? As in three babies?" I say stunned as I look down at my beautiful Bella.
I bury my face in her hair as I feel the tears coming and I place a hand on the top of her stomach out of the way of the wand.
"Yes Mr Cullen." Ben says "Would you like some photos?"
"Yes please. Can you tell us what they are?" Bella asks before leaning into me.
"Not at the moment. It's still too early but you should be able to find out in another six weeks." He says.
I hear some clicking and then it goes quiet as he stands up. "Doc?" Bella says quietly and I look down at her.
"Yes Miss Swan."
"Two things," she looks at me, "Actually make that three, one he did not cry" she points to me and we all laugh.
"Two it's Bella not Miss Swan, Mrs. Cullen or Isabella just Bella."
"In that case both of you are to call me Ben and what is three Bella?" He asked pleasantly.
"Get plenty of photos we have a huge ass family and they will shoot you and each other for copies of those photos."
"Will do Bella." He says leaving the room laughing.
"Triplets can you believe it?" She whispers as she looks at me.
"When it sinks in yes." I whisper before capturing her lips.
"You're no longer giving me a child you're giving me three." I take a deep breath and look straight into her eyes. "Thank you."
"Edward, there is nothing to be thankful for." She says and lifts her hands up to hug me.
"Yes there is. You're carrying three children of mine, three and you don't have to but you are." I feel her thumbs rub under my eyes and I realise I'm crying again.
"I'm not the only one that created these little ones of ours."
I place a hand on her stomach again and kiss her trying to seer all the love and gratitude into this kiss to her.
I pull out my phone and send a text off to Dad knowing he'll gather everyone else.
'Bella's awake. Visitors welcome now.'
I put my phone away and go back to loving my Bella. My Family.
A/N: I hope you found all the extra bits and enjoyed the changes :)
