~Sorry for the delay~
E. P.O.V
3 hours! They were gone for 3 hours! Jasper got a call from Alice, saying she went shopping with Bella and Esme, which was half an hour ago. I was sort of hoping she would a vision then tell me what gender the baby is. I guess that's out of my hopes.
I was relentless, pacing across the living room where Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper and Carlisle were also waiting. What if something horrible happened? Is that why they've been out for so long? My heart picked up pace as I considered the possibilities. In the other room Jasper groaned.
"Edward stop! Your moods are so unnecessary! Stop worrying for once" he shouted from the other room, the door slammed shut; sounding Jasper's departure. I sighed and walked into the living room, Emmett and Rosalie were sitting together on the loveseat and Carlisle was reading his medical book. They all looked up when I came in.
Emmett grinned, though Rosalie didn't say anything.
"Heya bro, what you worrying about so much that made Jazz leave?" I could hear the curious in his words, though Emmett visibly looked relaxed, and quite huge. I sighed and flopped down on the nearest chair.
"I don't know Em," I ran my hand over my face "you saw the time, its late; too late, and what if something happened to them? What if something happened to Bella?" a deep shudder and pricks ran through me and I fought to stop phasing.
"Whoa, dude you really are in deep shit aren't you?" Emmett low whistled, earning a smack from Rosalie.
"You're annoying me! I'm trying to paint my nails for god's sake!" she snarled
"Sorry Rosie" Emmett mumbled.
Carlisle stopped reading and spoke for the first time in the conversation.
"Edward, you have to get used to the fact that when Alice shops...she shops a long time son." Carlisle looked pointedly at the clock, an hour had passed. I moaned and rested my head on the chair, succumbing to a peaceful nap.
_ _ 2 ½ hours later_*Emmett, Carlisle gone hunting*_
Ring! Ring! Ring!
I jumped, shocked from my sleep by the high pitched ringing of my phone.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
"Well are you going to get it or what?" I heard Rosalie's voice "It might be Be-"
I quickly snatched up the phone
"Hello?"
"Edward? Oh Edward!" I heard my sweet angel, relief flooded through me as I heard her beautiful voice.
"Bella," I breathed
"Edward I want to go home," My Bella moaned.
"What's wrong?" I panicked.
"Alice," she mumbled in annoyance "Hey I heard that!" Alice's voice yelled in the distance. I chuckled, but annoyed that it was Alice who was making Bella irritated.
"Where are you?" I paced around the room again.
"Umm...a designers shop, it's in Italian so I can't read the name"
I stopped pacing and frowned, "What are you doing there?"
"Getting cute little coats for the twi- Oops!"
"Twi? What's a 'Twi'?"
"Umm it's supposed to be a surprise,"
"Surprise?"
"I'll tell you anyway, Ok...Edward?"
"Yes love?" I said cautiously
"We're having Twins!" Bella squealed excitedly, Twins! I heard Rosalie grit her teeth when a big smile spread across my face.
"What gender?" I asked eagerly
"Both!" I could almost visualize Bella jumping up and down,
"Both? Like a girl and a boy?" my voice rising in excitement as well.
"Yes!" Bella said
"Wow, love it's amazing, how far along are we?"
"Only 2 months, I was due to be in 4 months time" I had to sit down, otherwise I might've fallen over. 4 months! 4 months was only a little time, in 4 months I would be a father.
"Ok love, I'll see you when you get back in...?"
"30 minutes, tops"
"Hurry back to me,"
"Always"
I hung up the phone with a grin on my lips, 30 minutes. I looked back to Rosalie; she was glaring at me, my smile faded.
"I hate this, I hate you!" She snarled before she sprung at me.
B. P.O.V
Finally! I thought in relief as Alice and Esme both put the shopping in the car. The shopping filled half the car so Alice had to squeeze in the back seat while Esme drove and I sat in the passenger seat. In seconds we were speeding down the highway back to Forks.
I couldn't stay still! I was so excited for Edward to see the baby ultrasound pictures, they were so beautiful! Though tiny, they had a lot of features already. I sighed, but it came out in a squeal.
Esme hugged me sideways when there was a traffic light.
"Oh Bella! I'm so happy for you!" she sniffed. I patted her back
"Aw Esme, I'm just happy that I get to be a mother, and Edward will be a father! You know he really wants to be a father? We always wanted to raise a child...but now I conceived twins! I really wanted to tell him in person, so I could see his face!" I looked at Alice, she was staring at me in shock.
"You. Told. Him!" she screeched. I flinched and looked at my hands.
"Err yeah, but not about the pictures!" I quickly added when Alice glared at me, she sighed in defeat.
"Fine, but remember not to-" Alice trailed off, her eyes distant and she swayed a little. I quickly sat next to her to control her balance. Her distant blank eyes changed to horror and she gasped; it was a broken, half-choked sound.
"What? What Alice!" I growled.
"E-E-d-d-ward" Alice mumbled into my shirt, sobbing quietly.
Silence
It felt as if I was on fire, my body burned in anguish and I whimpered against the fiery tortures that scorched me in pain. Edward. Edward. No, no, no, no, no...
I couldn't help it; I was going to change, in the car.
I leapt out the door and bolted into the trees, the prickly pins were as painful as ever, I screamed and I exploded into a lioness. Edward, Edward, Edward, Edward...No!
Alice suddenly appeared at my side, "Bella!" she yelled and gripped my fur, I slumped to the ground.
"Bella come on! We need to go home! Home to Edward! He's in trouble!" she yanked on me again. I hit my head on a tree, making it snap and fall, how could I be so stupid! Edward is in trouble and I'm just laying here! I got up and sprinted to the way home, leaving Alice behind.
A.P.O.V
I watched Bella run away, that was more like it, I thought. I pulled out my cell and dialled Carlisle's number; he picked up on the first ring.
"What's wrong Alice?" he asked
"Carlisle, get to the house! I think Rosalie and Edward are fighting, Rosalie took him off-guard and..." I swallowed.
"Where are you Alice?"
"In the forest, Bella's going to the house as I speak, so is Esme. They'll be there in 10 minutes,"
"Okay Alice, I have Emmett and Jasper here with me, they're running to the house now,"
"Tell them to hurry" I whispered "Edward's not doing so well,"
And with that I ran after Bella back to the house; full sprint.
E. P.O.V
I was so stupid to use telekinesis while fighting; now I'm as weak as ever and can hardly phase, let alone fight.
Great idea, Edward I thought sarcastically. Rosalie threw me into the wall, crashing Esme's collection of plates on the mantelpiece. Blood wheezed out from my cut in my arm and it hurt like hell.
Rosalie stalked towards me, her black eyes were hungry, she sprung at me but I quickly rolled over, causing her to crash into the wall. The glass pieces flew everywhere.
"Rosalie," I whispered
All I heard was a growl, Rosalie clawed at my torso, making me bleed more, god it hurt.
"Rosalie, stop!" I screamed, "Stop..." I choked as she gripped my throat. Black spots were clouding my vision and I couldn't see. My hands reached out to her hand and I twisted it, breaking her bones and making her hiss.
"Bastard," she snarled and kicked me into the wall. I tasted something warm and runny in my mouth, I spat and red blood dripped to the floor. I saw her coming again and dodged, grabbing her arms and pulling it over her head. A metallic screech echoed through her snarls and screams, I threw her limbs behind me and moved out of the way as she came at me.
I gasped my breath through my teeth, the pain was getting less and less bearable to fight through .
Rosalie was obviously getting annoyed, however, the loss of two arms were not forever for vampires- they could just put themselves back together. Sort of like Humpty Dumpty, but more advanced.
I looked up, but it was too late.
"You think you're so special, stupid pure breed" she spat before something came in contact with my wounded chest.
Everything went black.
