When I got home the next day Abby was already at Emily's for school and the twins at daycare. Seth had left a note saying that Leah had her baby. It was a boy named Jonathan David. He was born one hour after Ally to the minute.
When Seth got home he looked annoyed
"What's wrong?" I asked him, rocking Ally in my arms.
"Embry got into an argument with Elaine. Turns out she's pregnant; again," He replied taking Ally from my arms.
"What's wrong with that? Besides the fact he doesn't want any more kids," I asked.
"Actually the fact he doesn't want any more kids is what made it annoying," He answered.
"How so?" I asked confused.
"He was going on and on about how she's pregnant and he doesn't want more kids," Seth answered.
"What I find strange is that she never called to tell me," I said thoughtfully.
"They were both very angry with each other," He replied calmly; probably since he got that out of the way as well as the fact that he was holding our one day old daughter.
"I'm gonna go call her," I said as I got up to get the phone.
I called Elaine's cell phone to avoid dealing with an angry Embry.
"Hi Emmaline," Elaine answered.
"Hey, so… You're pregnant again?" I asked.
"Yep, and Embry's pissed. I think he's pissed at me, but I don't know," She answered.
"You sound pissed at him too," I replied.
"I am pissed at him. I'm pregnant and he's not being supportive," She said.
"Is he home?" I asked.
"Yeah, why?" She answered confused.
"You should talk to him. I gotta go; bye!" I said then hung up.
Two months later Elaine went to the doctor to see if it was multiples; it was quintuplets. Embry went along trying to be supportive, but fainted when he found that out. Elaine told Carlisle he was fine and that he was simply surprised. When Elaine called me to tell me she was still at the office since Embry was still passed out. I was speechless, and later when I told Seth he was just as shocked as me.
The news got out quickly that Elaine was having quints. It began to seem as though everybody in the United States knew.
Soon enough Elaine was in the hospital
Five months later
"I bet you two of them are boys. Twenty-five bucks for each," Embry said to Elaine as we waited for Elaine to be taken to have a c-section.
"You're on!" She answered as Carlisle walked in.
"Ready?" Carlisle asked.
"Ready," Elaine confirmed.
***
Half an hour later Embry came out to announce the babies were born. He looked unhappy, as if he'd lost a bet.
"How much did you lose dude?" Seth asked him.
"Fifty bucks; they're all girls!" Embry replied.
"Did you name them yet?" I asked trying to change the subject.
"Yes; in order it's Elizibeth Taylor, Cathryn Angela, Annabeth Marie, Nicole Allison, and Makayla Makall. Elaine begged me to name her that," He answered.
"How is Elaine anyway?" I asked him.
"She's very ill. She needs a blood transfusion," Embry answered sounding sad. Then he sat down with his head in his hands muttering stuff like, "how could I let this happen," and, "I'm such an idiot," to himself.
Then a nurse came over and said, "Mr. Call, your wife."
It must have scared the crap out of him because he got up and rushed down the hall.
"Excuse me, but could I please speak with Dr. Cullen?" I asked the nurse just as she was about to walk away.
"I can't give out personal information, unless you're her sister," The nurse replied coldly just as Carlisle came over to us.
"What's the problem?" Carlisle asked.
"They want to speak to you about a patient," The nurse said gritting her teeth together.
"It's fine; they're close friends to Mr. and Mrs. Call as well as myself," Carlisle said trying to calm her down.
"Fine," She said as she walked away.
"Is she gonna make it?" I asked as soon as the nurse walked away.
"Why don't you come with me," Carlisle answered as he showed us to Elaine's hospital room.
When we got there we saw a young, blonde haired nurse talking to Embry. She must have heard us walk in because she turned around. I was shocked at who it was. It was my older sister Katie.
"Thank you Katie, I'll take it from here. You can go back to the office," Carlisle said. Then she walked out.
"Dr. Cullen, will she make it? Will the babies make it?" Embry asked frantically.
"Yes and yes. I'm sure they will all make it," Carlisle answered.
We spent the next forty-five minutes chatting. When Elaine woke up it was sweet. Embry had her petite hand in his large one. When she woke up she looked at him and he looked at her. It was like they were having a conversation without speaking aloud. Embry then looked over at Carlisle. Carlisle nodded in response. Then Elaine and Embry kissed. When it got to be too much, Carlisle cleared his throat. It startled them. When Elaine saw me she smiled weakly. Then she looked at Carlisle.
"Dr. Cullen, how are my babies?" She asked. What was strange was that neither Elaine nor I ever really called Carlisle Dr. Cullen.
"They're all doing well. However, Makayla's, having a bit of trouble breathing. Don't worry, we're doing our best. When you've recovered a bit more you can be taken to see them," Carlisle answered.
"My poor baby!" Elaine exclaimed.
"Honey, it's okay-"Embry started to say.
"No, it's not! She's my baby!" Elaine interrupted.
"Elaine. It's fine. Now you need to calm down. It helps you recover faster," Carlisle said firmly yet gently.
"Fine, but how long till I can see them?" Elaine asked calmer.
"We'll try for tomorrow," Carlisle answered.
"Fine," Elaine sighed sounding annoyed.
The next day Elaine got to see her babies. Makayla, Nicole, and Cathryn looked a lot like Embry. Annabeth was a perfect blend of her two parents. Elizabeth looked very much like Elaine. I was invited to come but a nurse tried to stop me from entering. Carlisle explained it to her in a voice the nurse couldn't say not to, so I was finally allowed to enter. Elaine practically cried when she saw Makayla. Anyone would have been able to tell she truly loved her.
