She said yes. Isabella Swan will now be Isabella Cullen and mine. That's not even the whole thing, I get to have my children as my children. This is going to be spectacular and wonderful. I have a real meaning to continue on.

It was Thursday and we were almost done bringing Bella and the twin's stuff over. We took her bed and placed it in Alice's old room. Alice and Jasper were going to live in Jasper's place while Edward was going to move on campus at Loyola. Everyone helped pack the trucks and load the cars, except Alice and the twins. It surprised me that even my mother helped, but she did her thing and directed where things had to be placed. Bella was helping load the truck move boxes from her room or the twin's room. Edward, Jasper, Carlisle and I were doing to heavy lifting, along with two movers. This was fun though. I know I shouldn't be doing this, but I want to. This is for my future, I had to do it.

By four 'o' clock we were all set in the house. The twins were up in their room, unpacked and asleep. Alice had taken them shopping today for new bed sheets, toys, clothes and stuff for Jacob. That little puppy even slept in their room. Bella and I were sitting in the living room. I was sitting on the couch watching a dvd since the cable wouldn't be on til Saturday. Bella was sitting on the ground going through some boxes of photos. Every once in a while she would show me some of the kids or of us when we were younger. She refused to show me pictures of when she was pregnant, but I got a hold of them anyway. She looked adorable pregnant. Actually, she was curvier now, in a very good way.

She was giggling and I was watching her smile, my smile was almost powered by hers. I could really get used to this. All of a sudden her laughter faded away and her smile seemed to disappear. In her hands she held the letter I left her, unopened. Of course, I never opened mine, I've wanted to wait for the right moment to open mine and it still hasn't come. Bella held the letter in her hands and stared at it. I quietly moved behind her. She moved her delicate nail up to the top as to open it, but I stopped her. Bella's head moved to the side to look at me.

"It's not the right time Bella...not now." My raspy voice whispered in her ear. She nodded and I sat down where I was. My arms wound around her waist and I pulled her back towards me. As soon as she felt my body next to hers, she melted into me. I attacked her neck with kisses while slowly moving up and down towards her shoulder and ear. Bella's moans really turned me on. My kisses grew fervent and passionate. Her body turned to straddle my waist. We kissed as I stood up with her still straddling my waist. Her small hands grazed up and down my back and hooked onto the bottom of my tee shirt. I pulled it off carefully before taking her tank top off leaving her in her white cotton bra. Slowly we moved around the corner down the short hall to our master bedroom and shut the door quietly.

"I love you Em."

"I love you Bells."

I woke up in the morning to the smell of a warm breakfast but the sound of rain outside. Realization hit me of what happened last night. A sly smile crawled upon my face as I pulled on my sweat pants. When I walked near the kitchen I heard the sound of Bella humming. She swayed her hips to her own music while cooking. Even though her eyes were closed she still had a giant smile on her face. Bella was back in her gray tank top and black spankies. I enjoyed this sight of her...well not as much as the one I saw last night. While Bella was facing the stove and still humming, I came up behind her and placed my hands on her small hips. She seemed to jump at the feel of my hands, but relaxed when I whispered in her ear.

"Good morning Isabella. How is my fiancée this morning?" She pressed her self into me while still keeping her hands cooking.

"Amazing. How is my fiancée this morning?"

"I don't know who is he- Oh wait I'm amazing as well." I said and kissed her temple.

"Well he can move that gorgeous body away from mine and go get his kids while I serve breakfast." She said moving out of my grasp with her pan of scrambled eggs. I laughed and went upstairs towards the twin's new room. Kellan was half-awake sitting in his bed while rubbing his eyes.

"Hey KC, how did you sleep?" I asked him in a hush tone. He put his hands up signaling me to pick him up. Kellan didn't say anything though, instead he laid his head on my shoulder and hummed slightly. "Well mommy made breakfast and it's ready downstairs." When I said that, he perked up and his eyes grew wide with excitement.

"Yummy!" he exclaimed. I heard Kris sniffling behind us. Slowly I turned around and picked Kris up in my other arm. She kissed me on the cheek and I kissed both of them on the forehead. I can't believe I'm waking up my children to go have breakfast, made by Bella in our own home! This is the life.

When we were downstairs, Bella had the table set for breakfast. The kids ate quietly so I took this opportunity to talk to Bella.

"Hey Bells, you know if this procedure works I'm going to back to college. Well here, I'm going to transfer onto NIU's football team." She looked at me with a smile and nodded.

"I know, I'm happy that you're doing something you love. We will be there to support you through it all... as a family." She spoke wile taking my plate back to the kitchen and kissing me on the forehead.

"My father wants to start chemo on Monday. I'm going to want you by me." She froze and turned towards me.

"Of course I will, they have to go back to day-care anyway next week. So I will be there as long as you need me. Until an hour past forever." She whispered and kissed my temple.

Monday came with nerves and fear between both Bella and I. She dropped off the kids at their day care center with over night bags for Jasper and Alice. Though, before they left I said good-bye to both of them and gave them a kiss on the forehead. Kellan was scared for me and Kristen was really sad. I told them it would all be okay and they seemed to trust me. Bella and I sat in the living room for a while together in silence. She would often caress my shaved head and kiss me. I would often squeeze her waist and kiss her neck. She seemed to be so scared that I would often catch her placing her hand over my heart just to feel it beat and know I was still alive.

We arrived at my father's office and my mother was there too.

"So Emmett, since your cancer is managing to stay at stage two, chemo will only last for about a month. Though there are a few methods of chemotherapy we've decided to go through with intravenous infusion." My father spoke.

"So basically an iv will be hooked up to you for about two hours for two hours, three days a week." My mother explained

"We are looking at acute side affects such as loss of hair," Bella's thumb brushed against my short blonde hair. "Anemia, drowsiness, pain, vomiting..." He rambled on.

"But, the good news is that we have scheduled the procedure for July thirtieth. We might have to do about one more month of chemotherapy, but you'll be in safe grounds after that if the procedure works correctly." He said. Bella looked nervous. I kissed her temple and then my mother led us to the front desk so we could check in for chemotherapy.

These past two weeks have been hell. Alice had been staying over with Jasper at our house to watch the kids. Of course I had been feeling like hell. My father said that the chemotherapy was working well and the cancer was responding well and disappearing. Bella had been feeling sick, we both had been vomiting. She had been feeling nauseous too. It was probably from staying up with me and traveling around the hospitals with me. We were both at our wits end with our bodies. Even Kristen had been catching a cold. We were not feeling good at all. But I promised myself that I would be better by the twin's birthday on the twentieth of August. I hope Bella would to.

Next week was my mother's birthday and since it was her first birthday as a grandmother, she was going to come over to our house and we would celebrate. Bella and I still hadn't been feeling that well neither had Kristen. Alice seemed to be immune to morning sickness or any side affects to pregnancy. She just floated around our house without a care in the world. Not only had she been taking care of Bella and I in bed, she actually kept the twins home and very occupied. As of this moment they were out to a local water park.

I wondered what Bella had been feeling. Lately she has been quiet when I bring up the subject. All she tells me is that she feels nausea, headaches and fatigue. I do know that she is bent over the toilet constantly every morning and even some late nights. Bella does find time to spend with the children when she's feeling better. Sometimes we even have family bed where the kids sleep with us. I took them out the other day to the park. It was fun just the three of us.

Sometimes at night when I couldn't sleep, I would listen to Bella talk in her sleep. Most of the time she didn't make any sense but, when she was coherent she spoke about her love for me and for the children. I made sure to pull her towards me and hold her when she would seem frightened or even when I was. Just her presence made everything alright.

Okay so not my favorite chapter, it just seemed to take forever to write and it just doesn't feel right. But I guess that's how it is when you write filler chapters.

Anyway..review and tell what you want to see in the future chapters.
