I was so excited today, I could barely sit still. Sophie kept giving weird looks all throughout breakfast. I would just smile at her and she would continue to eat. Today was my ultrasound, today I would find out if Edward and I get our wish of a little boy. I dropped Sophie off at school and headed over to mama Cullen's to meet the girls and that is where I am headed as we speak. I pull up and the girls have beaten me here, not surprising. Alice said she has big news and Rose is trying to convince my goon of a brother to procreate. The door swings open.
"Get in here, I'm dying to tell you guys my news. Damn it woman move." She tells me in a rush. Damn she can be annoying. Doesn't she know you don't move as fast as you once did when you are 20 weeks pregnant?
"Damn woman give me a minute. You want me to fall up these steps and go into labor, because than that would be your fault." I tell her trying to hide my smile.
"Shut it" she says and storms off. I chuckle and follow her inside. Everyone is waiting. Esme gets up to give me a hug.
"Hello sweetie. How are you feeling?" She asked me.
"I'm good thank you"
"Hey Bells" Rose said give me a little wave. I tell her a hi back.
"Ok. So now that you are all here" she said emphasizing the all looking at me until she continued. "I'm pregnant" she screeched out bouncing up and down.
"YAY" I screeched out and jumped up to pull her into my arms. "I'm so happy for you" I tell her my eyes starting to water. Damn hormones. I release her and she looks at me funny. I was never emotional with Sophie.
"Bells what's wrong?" Alice asks me worry lacing her voice. I wipe the moisture from my eyes and shake my head.
"Nothing I'm just so happy. Damn hormones" I move away and grab my phone.
E- Ali and Jas are prego. YAY. –B
J- Congrats. I'm so happy for you. –B
B- Jas told me a couple days ago. Told me to let Al tell u. Forgive me? Luv u sweet girl. –E
B- Thanx B. She is so happy. Have fun today. –J
E- Of course I forgive u baby. Luv u 2 handsome. Miss u. –B
B- miss u 2 baby. Call me after appt. Can't wait. Kiss my sis 4 me. –E
E- I will. So xcited. I will. She is bouncing right now. Literally. Kisses. –B
B- I can imagine. Kisses back. Gotta go babe. Talk later. –E
I smile and put my phone away. I go up to Alice and give her a big hug and kiss on the cheek.
"That's from Edward" I tell her and she smiles widely.
"So Rose now it's your turn. When are you going to convince my goon of a brother to knock you up?" I ask her and she sighs.
"Have no clue Bells. He is almost as stubborn as you. He wants kids, he does. He just doesn't want the whole baby phase. He wants them to instantly be like 5 or 6 so he can wrestle with them. It will happen when it will happen. I told him he has 2 years to knock me up. I told him I want to be pregnant by the time I'm 30."
"That's a good compromise Rose. He does want kids he has just never been around a baby. Besides Sophie and Jacks." I tell her. We all talk for a few more minutes before its time to go. We all pile into my Range Rover, since I'm the only one to comfortably fit all of us. Esme and Rose both have a 2 door car. Jasper dropped Alice off today.
We get to the doctor office and park. We walk into the office and I sign in.
"Bella Cullen" My name gets called pretty quickly and we all go back into the room. The nurse smiles warmly at me and greets us all. She has been working for Carlisle for years. Some people think it's weird that my father in law is my OB/GYN. I don't. He is the only one I trust to deliver my children. There is a knock on the door.
"Come in" I yell and I see Carlisle peek his head through.
"Hey just want to say hi real quick. I'm booked solid today. Tell me as soon as you know young lady." He scolds me playfully. He gives Esme a quick chaste kiss and leaves. About 10 minutes later someone else knocks on the door.
"Come in" I say again.
"Bella" Dr. Mitchell greets me.
"Hi Dr. Mitchell. You remember Rose right? Of course you know Alice and Esme" She says hello to everyone.
"Ok Bella up on the table. Pull your shirt up and your pants down to just around your lower hips." I do as told and she starts setting the machine up.
"Ok this will be cold" She tells me while squeezing the lubricating gel on my ever expanding stomach. I know they say you show faster with your second child, but come on. I was huge. Sophie kept asking me if it was time for the baby yet because I was so GINORMOUS. I wasn't this big with Sophie until I was 8 months along.
She starts moving the wand around my stomach. My eyes are glued to the screen. Black and white images start to appear. My eyes go wide.
"Susan please tells me if I'm seeing that right" I tell her and she smiles at me and nods her head.
"OHMYGOD" I screech. Alice actually covers her ears. "Sorry" I wince back.
"Someone please explain" Rose demands.
"Well if you all look here" Dr. Susan Mitchell says pointing to images on the screen. Everyone nods. "Well there is one baby and here is the other. Twins." Everyone starts shrieking excitedly. I'm surprised no one has come into the room to make sure everything is ok. "Do you want to know the sexes Bella?"
"Yes" I tell her
"OK well we have got a little boy here and here…" she says moving the wand around trying to get a better view. "Ah here we go. Two boys Bella. Congratulations."
"Thank you so much." I am crying now. "Alice my phone please" I say holding out my hand while the doctor continues with all the measurements. I feel my phone in my hand and go to the name I want and press send. It rings and rings. I'm about to hang up when I hear his voice.
"Baby" I cry into the phone.
"Bella? What's wrong baby? Is something wrong with the baby?" He asks frantically.
"No no everything is perfect baby. We are going to have two healthy baby boys" I tell him not being able to control the tears falling down my face.
"A boy really…wait two healthy baby boys? Twins?"
"Uh huh"
"FUCKING AWESOME" he shouts. It's somewhat distant so I know he is holding the phone away. I hear him yelling in the background. "Bella just found out boys. Twins" I hear cheers. I can't help but smile. "Baby I love you" He whispers back into the phone.
"I love you so fucking much Edward" I tell him. We are silent for a minute before we have to hang up. I hang up the phone and notice Esme gone.
"She went to tell dad" Alice says answering my unasked question. I just nod. Susan finishes up and prints a whole shit load of pictures out for me. I can't wait to get home and scan the photos so I can email them to Edward and my parents.
I'm so happy I don't even care that we have been shopping for hours now. Jasper is picking up the kids so I don't have to worry about picking Soph up. We are at some maternity store. Rose and Esme are handing me clothes left and right. I can't take the smile off my face. I try on some dresses and skirts. I get some new shorts and skirts and a whole shit load of shirts and some new capris and jeans. Alice is loaded down with clothes also. Esme insists on buying everything. I've learned not to argue I won't win anyway. Damn Cullen's and their powers of persuasion on the world.
It was getting late so we all decided on dinner.
"So Bells have you guys talked about names at all?" Alice asks.
"We had some picked out when I was pregnant with Sophie and I have a couple new ones I like but I'll have to talk to Edward about it" I tell them while we all wait for our food. There is small talk. We get our food and continue with the mindless chatter. It's late and I'm tired. I miss my baby girl and I just want to get home.
I drive Alice home so I can pick up Sophie. We pull up to their house and I follow her in. Jasper is there and he greets us. Alice tells him the news and he is excited and he pulls me in for a hug. I can't help but hold on just a little longer. Edwards phone call from yesterday coming back to me. He pulls back and gives me a funny look, like he knows I know something. He doesn't say anything and neither do I. Now I know something is going on, but I'll trust my husband and best friend.
I give them kisses goodbye and promise Alice that this weekend we will take the kids shopping. I don't know what else they need. I mean we already took them school shopping but to Alice you always need new clothes.
We get home and I tuck my princess into bed and crash into my own bed, but not before sending Edward a quick I love you.
Days turn into weeks and I still haven't been able to figure anything out about what's going on with Jasper. It's starting to really annoy me because I know they are both hiding something. Edward calls me as much as he can and we email every day. He loved the new sonogram pictures I emailed him. We talked about names and decided on Connor Edward and Ethan Jakob. We decided to wait to tell everyone till the babies were born. Let's just say not everyone was happy about that. *cough* Alice.
I was now 26 weeks. Time was moving so fast. Edward was able to finagle it so he could have from the 20th of April to the 15th of May off. I was so excited. I so wanted him here for the boy's birth. He missed Sophie's by one day. One day. He was pissed I understood. I married him knowing what he did for a living. Hell a week after we were married he was shipped off.
I had an appointment with Carlisle a couple weeks ago and everything was progressing great. I was bigger than a house but other than that it was honkey dorey. I was now on my way to the bank. I had sold some pictures to National geographic a while ago. I loved my work. Working as a freelance photographer had its perks. Worked when I wanted. Travel where ever I wanted and write off expenses as a work write off. I didn't travel that much since Sophie was born. It's hard to travel to all these foreign places with a child in school.
The photos I sold them were of some of the grey wolves. They are such beautiful creatures. Mia was doing wonderfully. She looked more and more like a wolf every day. She was so well behaved, and Sophie could crawl and sit on her and Mia would just roll over and take it. She was so good. She was also becoming quite the watch dog.
Just the other day I came home from dropping Sophie at school and the front door is wide open and I can hear Mia growling. I rush inside the house not thinking someone dangerous could be here. I almost fell over laughing at the sight before my eyes. There was my burly man of a brother on top of my kitchen table with a growling Mia bearing her teeth at him. I told her down and she did. Emmett doesn't come over anymore unless I'm home now.
I pull into the bank and walk in and get in line. It's pretty busy which is unusual for a weekday morning.
"Howdy stranger" I hear someone behind me. I jump and the voice chuckles. I turn to see my blue eyed best friend standing before me. I slap him playfully on the arm.
"Damn it Jas you almost gave me a heart attack"
"Sorry sugar"
"No worries. What brings you to the bank this lovely morning?"
"Eh just getting some stuff taken care of" He is very vague. I can't take it anymore.
"Ok spill. Now." I tell him sternly. He sighs.
"Edward told you?"
"All I know is he is worried about you and he told me to keep an eye on you. Damn it Jasper we have known each other our whole lives." I'm on the verge of tears. I know something serious is going on. I also know Alice doesn't know. She has just been way too happy lately. Besides she can't keep a secret.
"Ok but you can't tell Al Bells" I just nod at him before he tells me what is going on. Tears are streaming down my face and I'm shaking. I'm sobbing and he has to pull me into his arms. I can't control the sobs now and I know people are looking at us funny. I don't care. Jasper leads me out of line to some chairs off to the side. I can hear someone asking if I'm alright. He reassures them I'm fine. But I'm not.
"Jasper" I choke out. "This is…not…happening" It's hard for me to breath. Jasper is rubbing my back telling me to calm down, that everything will be fine. This is wrong. He is comforting me. I should be comforting him. I shake my head.
"Jasper stop. Everything is not going to be ok. You have to tell Alice"
"No. I want to live my life to the fullest with her and Jacks happy, and if they know they won't be happy. I want my memories of them to be filled with smiles and laughter." I just nod knowing he is right. If Alice knew he would not be allowed out of their bed.
I don't know how long we sit there him holding me and me crying into his shirt when there is a loud commotion behind us. I lift my head to look at Jasper and his eyes are wide and afraid. I go to turn around but his hold on me is so tight it starts to hurt. He just shakes his head at me and pulls me closer. I can hear everyone yelling, but I can't make out any words. I hear the words gun, and safe and I know what is happening. I start shaking again.
Please God no. Please let this be a dream. Please protect my husband and my little girl. Let them know I love them. Oh God please let us make it out of here alive and ok.
I feel someone pulling me away from Jasper but he won't let go.
"Let go of her or I'll put a bullet in your head" The masked man says harshly pushing a hand gun into Jaspers' head. He gradually lets go. I'm forced up and thrown to the floor. I feel a sharp pain in my stomach and liquid starts running down my leg. I scream. Jasper looks at me and sees what has happened. I'm holding my stomach hunched over in pain. Jasper punches the guy who has thrown me. I stare in horror and the world I knew has just drastically changed.
~EPOV~
"Captain" Private Crowley walks in. Salutes me and stands firm.
"At ease." He relaxes his stance. "What is it private?"
"Orders for you sir from General Alton. You are to leave immediately." He tells me handing over the orders. I read them over and my world crumbles around me. I vaguely remember dismissing the private and packing a bag quickly. I can't cry I can't do anything. I'm in shock. My wife has gone into labor, one of the babies was still born and my other baby boy is in the NICU. My best friend lays in the ICU with a bullet in his brain. I finally break down. Wrenching sobs leave my body.
A/N Don't hate me please. Review and let me know what you think. The next chap will probably be up by weekend.
