Chapter Nine: The Hospital

By Technician Fan

A/N: This idea was given to me by GAjujubee, so I thank for this. As for all of you that answered the poll on the Author's Note I gave, thank you for your contribution. It was basically just Rose/Em or Esme/Carlisle that should have a kid. It was a tie. However, misscullen27 put in a good reason as to why her vote should have the kid first, so that pairing is to have the kid first. Don't worry, you'll find out who it is in this chapter. Thank for all the reviews, BTW! And Alice's movie obsession is based on the fact that I am dying to see that movie, too, but it's not in theaters yet.

Rose's POV:

"Hello, welcome to MacDonald's, how may I serve you?" Jasper asked the customer.

The rest of the us were sitting at a table, watching him and laughing.

"He's actually pretty good," Bella said, laughing.

"That he is," Carlisle said. "That he is."

We stood up to dispense of their trays as we saw Jasper getting done with his shift. When he got up to us, he asked, "So how did I look?"

"Very professional," I commented.

"I think he looked sexy," Alice said, smirking slightly. We all laughed again.

"Wanna go see a movie?" Edward asked.

"Sounds like fun!" Emmett said. "What movie should we see?"

"I want to see You're So Cupid!" Alice said.

I looked over at her, shaking my head at her obsession with this movie. "It's not out in theaters yet, Alice. It was only a preview we saw on that website."

"I know, but Brian Krause is so hot! I wish it'd come out already!"

I laughed at her. "You're so weird."

She smiled. "Thank you!"

Bella spoke up. "Why don't we go see Clash of the Titans?"

"Sounds great!" Carlisle said.

"Yeah, violence!" Emmett yelled. Everyone at the restaurant turned to look at us. "Sorry!" Emmett said. They all returned to their own business.

"Let's go discuss this outside… where Emmett can't embarrass us," Jasper said.

We laughed and headed out to the parking lot towards our cars. Halfway there, Esme started to swoon a little. She grabbed onto Carlisle's arm for support.

"Esme, what's wrong?" Carlisle asked.

"I… I just feel a little lightheaded," Esme said. "I think I just need to sit… sit…" She didn't get to finish her sentence as her eyes fluttered closed and she started to fall. Thankfully, Carlisle quickly caught her.

"Esme!"

XXXXXXX Esme's POV XXXXXXXX

I opened up my eyes to see the rest of my family standing me. I was lying in a hospital bed by the looks of it.

"Esme!" Carlisle said, coming forward to me. "Are you alright?"

"I'm.. I'm fine," I said, sitting up a little.

"Easy," Carlisle said, putting a firm hand on my shoulder.

Another doctor came in. "Carlisle!" he greeted. "Don't you have today off?"

"Yeah, Jim, I do. My wife got sick, though," Carlisle said.

"Oh, well, I can easily explain that," Jim said. "You're slightly anemic, which explains the fainting."

"Anemic?" I asked. "What the hell's that?"

"It means you have anemia."

I looked over at Carlisle. Maybe he could be more helpful. He smiled at me. "Dear, it means a deficiency of red blood cells."

I nodded. "Okay… So that's it?"

Jim shook his head. "Uh.. not quite. There's something else." He looked at the rest of the family. "If you could give us a moment?"

"It's fine," I said. "They're family. They can hear what you have to say."

"Very well," Jim said. He looked at a piece of paper on his clipboard before saying, "You're pregnant."

I stared at him, dumbfounded. "Wh.. what?" Everyone else in the family had the same expression.

"You're pregnant," Jim said, smiling. "Congratulations." His pager beeped and he quickly looked at it. "I have to go, but as soon as you're ready, you can leave the hospital." He smiled and waved goodbye, leaving the room.

"Oh my god," I whispered.

Alice squealed shrilly. She came running over and hugging me. "Yay!" Everyone else came forward and engulfed me in a huge hug. They all pulled away— well, all except Alice— after a minute or so.

"Alice," Jasper said. "Let Esme go." He grabbed her from around the waist and pulled her off of me. I smiled my thanks towards him.

I looked over at Carlisle. "We're having a baby."

He smiled and kissed my forehead. "Yes, we are."

A/N: So that's it. Esme/Carlisle are having the FIRST baby. There will be more. Trust me.

I have another poll for you:

Should the baby be a boy or a girl?

Please answer and review!!!
