Chapter 12

Bella's POV

"Bella, how are you feeling?" Esme asked me as she brushed my tangled hair.

"Like shit, pardon my French." I responded back.

And it was true. I did feel like crap. It's like when you wake up having a cold and your head is dizzy, spinning everything around, and you have a weird knot in your stomach. But I wasn't sick. I have marks on the back of my shoulders and don't remember much of last night. Alice and Rosalie brought me food and drinks but only the stuff I'm allowed to eat –I have to be healthy for the twins.

"There all better." Esme said as she finished brushing my hair.

"Things will get better, Bella." Alice said.

"Did you see me getting better during the next full moon?" I asked, hopeful.

"No, not really. Your future is still blurry." Alice said. "But you'll get better once the twins are born."

"Yeah," I cheered in fake enthusiasm.

"Have you and Edward decided on any names yet?" Rosalie asked, watching me eat a piece of mango.

"No, not yet. Isn't it too early? I mean, we don't even know what the sex is."

"I know what the names are going to be." Alice sang.

"Alice, Rose was right before in the hospital. We don't know if I will have those children you saw in your vision –which by the way, you never told me about." I reminded her. "What are –were the names you saw?"

She smiled, "Nope, not going to tell you."

"Alice!"

"You and Edward will decide on the names and when you tell us what the names are going to be, Emmett is going to lose his bet."

"Why does Emmett and Jasper keeping on betting on me and the babies?" I murmured, angrily.

"Well, they shouldn't be betting at all." Esme said. "Besides, Emmett should know by now to never bet against Alice."

"But then again, her visions aren't always accurate."

"Hey, I'm right here!" Alice cried and I laughed.

"We should listen to some music so the men don't overhear our conservation." Rosalie recommended. "Any suggestions?"

"Anything's fine."

She put in a random CD and I realized it was Muse playing. I like Muse.

"Bella, are you alright?" Rosalie asked me when she saw me jolt up and my hand went straight to my stomach.

"I think so…" I said unsure. "Rosalie, go back to the song."

Rosalie grabbed the album and read the track number, "Supermassive Black Hole." She read. "Do you like this song?"

"I think…the twins like it." I said, still unsure.

"What?"

I grabbed Esme's hand and pressed it against my stomach. "The babies are kicking."

"Oh my," Esme gasped.

"Alice, Rosalie." I gestured for them to do the same thing and both of them jumped feeling the kick as well.

"I don't believe it." Rosalie breathed.

"Ah, this is so amazing!" Alice squealed.

Esme chuckled, "They are just like their father. Music is becoming their passion." X

I smiled at the thought of a little boy playing piano with his father. "Where's Edward?" I asked.

"He's downstairs with the rest of the guys."

"Can one of you get him please? I don't want him missing this." I said as I placed my hand on my big bump.

Rosalie went to get Edward while Alice and Esme began talking about how they should make a baby book for the twins, making each day what they were doing. I wasn't really listening because I focusing on the twins. I wondered if one of them is kicking or is just both of them. Edward came back to our room and Esme and Alice left to give us some privacy.

"Give me your hand," I ordered as I took his cold hand and placed it against the bump as another song by Muse played.

Edward's eyes lifted up and stared at me with disbelief. "Is that…?"

"They're kicking," I smiled. "They love the sound of the music playing just as much as you do."

"I don't believe it. Of all my years…this is incredible."

"Easy for you to say, I feel like they're kicking my guts." I said, groaning at bit.

"How about I change the sound to a calmer music and you sleep." Edward suggested. "You had a lot of excitement last night."

"Stay with me?"

"Always," Edward promised and put on Debussy.

And for a few minutes, I soon feel asleep at the beautiful sound.

Edward's POV

"Edward, are you alright?" Jasper asked me.

"Your wife is thinking about baby's clothes." I said to him. "And now, teenage clothes. Does she honestly believe I would let my daughter –if I have daughter, wear a tube top?"

Jasper laughed, "What do you expect? It's Alice. If you do have a daughter and she's anything like Bella, Alice would have to force her to wear it."

I cringed, "Please don't think about that. For now, I want to think of the babies as babies."

Alexander chuckled, "I remember someone saying that once about their child." He said looking at Caleb.

"Only because your aunt and Rebecca couldn't wait to dress Bella." Caleb growled. "I believe I threatened Linda at one point."

"Edward," I turned around and saw Rosalie standing near the stairwell.

"Is everything alright?" Carlisle asked my sister.

She smiled –it was a happy smile, it was rare to see a smile like that coming from her. "Bella wants to show something."

"Alright, Edward!" Emmett laughed.

Rosalie super-speed to Emmett and hit him in the back of the head. "Not something like that, you pervert. It's about the twins."

"Are they alright?"

"Yes, of course they are. But go upstairs. Your wife is waiting for you."

Your wife…I smiled at the sound of that coming from someone else other than me. I quickly went upstairs as Alice and Esme walked out of the room, giving me genuine smiles. Bella sat up on the bed, wearing a nightgown Alice gave her. She still looked beautiful even if she is big and pregnant.

"Give me your hand," She demanded and took it.

I felt something inside her stomach, almost like butterflies flying around. But it was a hard and…I looked up at Bella's brown eyes as she smiled at me. "Is that…"

"They're kicking. They love the sound of the music playing as much as you do." Bella explained with a smile on her face.

"I don't believe it. Of all my years…this is incredible."

I was feeling my children's first kick.

"Easy for you say, I feel like they're kicking my guts." Bella groaned, adjusting her position.

"How about I change the sound to a calmer music and you sleep. You had a lot of excitement last night."

"Stay with me?"

"Always," I promised and changed it to "Clair de Lune."

A couple of minutes later, Bella fell asleep in my arms as I put my hand against the bump, waiting to feel another kick. But only one came from the right side. Could it be possible that the twins already have different personalities? I chuckled at the thought of my children being twins but be so different. But instead of getting a kick, I felt something else.

It was the heartbeats. I could feel the twins' heartbeats!

"Edward, if you want the babies to kick you can try talking to them." Carlisle said and I realized he and Esme were standing in the doorway.

"What do I say?"

"You can talk about anything. The babies will get use to the sound of your voice and it will be familiar to them." Esme announced to me.

"I can feel their heartbeats." I whispered. "This is amazing."

"We'll be downstairs if you need us." Carlisle said and closed the door behind them.

"Um, hello. I'm your father and in case you don't know, my name is Edward." I began and realized how ridiculous this was. Can they really hear me? "I met your mother during our junior year and the first day she came to Forks." And I began the story of how I met Bella and how her scent was excoriating and delicious but then, I went to how I fell in love with Bella each day whenever we talk.

"I've waited for your mother for almost a century and couldn't believe that she wasn't frightened for what I was –for what my family was." I said. "But I guess it proved something, your mother loves me no matter what I am. And I will always her for what she is, human or not. Hopefully, one day both of you will understand the same love we have."

I held my breath when I felt both kicks. They can hear me!

"Ow," Bella whispered and fluttered her eyes open. "That hurts."

I chuckled, "Sorry, love. I was having conservation with the twins."

"I know I heard you." She smiled at me. "But I would appreciate if you rather feel the heartbeat than the kicks? I don't think I can stand it while I'm sleeping."

"Of course, love." I said and continued enjoying the life I was hearing from my own ears.

A/N: Please comment and let me know what you think. I'm trying to make everyone in the family enjoy the time with Bella while she's pregnant because you know, they've never been around pregnant women and know what's happening. Well, besides Carlisle.
