Chapter 10
I wondered how I managed to get this lucky, here I was, lying in Edward's arms, he had both hands on my baby bump and he was smiling brightly.
He hadn't let me go of me since we had each confessed our love to one another. He had then caught me by surprise me by asking an important question about the babies.
"Do you know what gender the baby is yet or have you decided not to find out until the birth?" He asked me softly whilst looking down at my baby bump, it was quite a shy but loving gesture.
I suddenly remembered that yes I had told Edward I was pregnant but I hadn't told him I was having twins!
I quickly sat up, catching Edward off guard and I saw a worried expression flit across his face.
He looked at me sharply saying "What's wrong love, does something hurt, do you need doctor?" he said, the words rushing out of his mouth almost to quickly.
"No, no Edward, I'm sorry I didn't mean to worry you, it's just there is something that I had forgotten to tell you, it's something really important".
"What's that love?" he said as his arms tightened around me, protectively.
"Well it's just that when I told you I was pregnant I left an important bit out, I forgot to tell you that I am having twins" I felt the blush spread all over my body again.
"Twins! As in two... two babies?" Edward stuttered whilst looking into my eyes as though he needed to confirm he had heard me right.
It was quite funny to watch a vampire stutter!
"Yeah, there are two babies, I only just found out" I whispered, looking at Edward to try and gauge his response about the fact that we were having two babies. One baby was a shock, but two!
Edward gently put his hands on either side of my head; he was very gentle as though he was scared he would hurt me. Then he whispered to me the word "two" before a bright smile spread all over his face, he began kissing, light butterfly kisses all over my face.
"I can't believe it, you have made me the happiness man on the earth, we are going to have two babies Bella, this should be impossible" he said kissing me in between each word.
"I'm so glad your happy Edward, I'm sorry I did not tell you earlier, but it just it slipped my mind, what with having you back here with me I lost track" I said gazing into his amber eyes.
"Don't worry yourself about that love, I know now but you didn't answer my question, have you found out about their genders yet?"
"Yes Edward I have" I whispered, looking down at my hands with a shy expression on my face. "I take it you would like to know then?" I said in a low teasing voice.
"Of course I would" he stated in a stern voice, I guess he did not like to be teased.
I decided I would have a little fun with him, so I asked again,
"Now Edward, are you doubly sure? I mean it would be a nice surprise?" I stated in a honey toned voice whilst fluttering my lashes.
"God love, your killing me here, please tell me already" he pleaded in an almost pain filled voice. When I heard the anguish in his tone it was my undoing, so I had to give in then.
"Okay then, if your sure, can you pass me my duffle bag by your feet please"
"Certainly, but I cannot see what your duffle bag has to do with anything"
"You'll see" I said reaching to take the bag from Edward.
I got the feeling for a moment that Edward was going to be a little bit over protective during the rest of the pregnancy, not that it bothered me really, but I knew how bad he could get.
I quickly found what I wanted, so I retrieved it from my bag and held it face down on the blanket so that Edward could not see what it was.
"What is it love?" Edward asked sweetly.
"This my sweet, is the sonogram of our babies" I said holding the photo up to show Edward.
Edward took the picture in his hand and gasped as he looked at the babies in the picture. If he could cry I'm sure he would have at that moment, he held the picture and stared at it for what seemed ages, he held it as though it was the most precious thing in the world and the absolute reverence on his face was astounding.
I went into a world of my own then, thinking of how I found out I was having twins…. "what" I whispered to myself. The midwife continued "see the other circle you pointed out that's your second babies head" "oh god" tears were following down my cheeks "there's two babies" "yes Miss Swan, congratulations" " two" I laughed happily with tears still flowing down my face. "Would you like to know the genders of the babies Miss Swan" "yes please" I had already decided to find out the gender of the baby if it was possible or should I say babies now that thought made me smile. "Okay that little one the right is a boy and if I just move the stick I can see that the baby on the left is a baby girl" "congratulations Miss Swan you having one of each" she said with a big smile on her face "thank you" I whispered. End of flash back.
"It would seem further congratulations is in order Miss Swan you are expecting twins"
Edward was still staring at the photo while I pointed each baby out.
"Well the one on the right is our baby boy and the one on the left is our baby girl". I explained as happy tears ran down my face.
"One of each, god, I really am the most lucky man or should I say vampire, to walk the earth. I have my soul mate and we are going to be a family and have both a baby boy and a baby girl" he said trying to hide his emotions but I could tell he was close to breaking point.
"Do you know the one thing could make my life better" Edward said looking in my eyes.
"Oh what is that" I said breathlessly almost forgetting to breathe for a minute as I was lost in his gaze.
Edward then put the picture of the babies down on my lap, holding onto my hands, he kneeled down on one knee. Oh no, this cannot be happening, I thought to myself, I'm only 18 years old. But at that moment I did not care about my age all I could think about was Edward and our babies.
"Isabella Marie Swan, will you make me the happiest man to ever walk the this earth, I know I don't deserve to ask you as I hurt you really bad but I regret ever leaving you, please will you marry me Bella, will you give me the honour of becoming my wife and the mother of my children?" He asked me in a soft and loving voice.
