Chapter 14

February 4, 2011- 33 weeks pregnant

I knew i was going to get big, but wow am i big. Yesterday at our doctors appointment Dr. Mason pointed out that the girls were rather big and that i would most likely be induced as soon as they could breathe on their own.

I blame Edward for all of it. I really shouldn't because my dad is tall too but blaming Edward just, i Don't know? Makes me feel better?

So what. The pregnant woman is going crazy, im not the first and i'm sure i wont be the last.

My life at present has been great. Jamie's room was finished, the triplets room was finished. Edward was at home with me most of the time opting to work from home.

I haven't been out of the house other than when i was going to our doctors appointments so when Edward said that we would all go out to dinner tonight i said why the hell not, my husband has not really seen me dressed up in so long and i wanted to go out with my son, my husband and my father and just enjoy some time out before it was just sleepless nights and dirty diapers.

When i asked him what to wear is reply "lets go dressy tonight baby, we're heading to Canalis."

i looked at him to see what he was wearing, he had on black suit pants, a white button up and a black and grey argyle sweater (he has a mild addiction) and black ankle boots with his scarf around his neck and his jacket on our bed waiting for him.

Now you know when you watch television and they show the kids that want to do everything the dad does, even where the same clothes. I had one of those. James did even thing like Edward sometimes it was cute. Oh who am i trying to kid it was always cute and when i didn't have to patience to look for something in his closet that looked just like what Edward was wearing i sent him to Edward so that Edward would look for it. Tonight was one of those nights, i had to get ready.

"but i want you to do it mama."

"i know you do baby but i have to get ready."

"me wait for you to be ready. You does it better than daddy" bless his heart.

But he is right, Edward sucked when it come to getting James ready.

James had a preference in everything and Edward didn't cater to his preferences when getting him dressed. That's why the only time Jamie would let Edward dress him was when we were staying in and obviously tonight was not one of those nights.

"alright baby. Just give me a minute ok."

"Kay mama."he said going to tuck him self into Edward on the bed where he was watching a football game with one hand behind the head and the other holding the remote control.

i decided to wear my black dress empire waist dress with the flowers along the bottom with my red Tory Burch flats. For make up i decided to keep it natural and go for a bold red lip. I grabbed red Vivienne Westwood hand bag and a red scarf. I put on my a gold necklace and a set of gold bangles.

I sat on one of the seats in our closet looking at my shoes trying to decide the best way to get them on after about to minutes i just gave up.

"Edward can you come help me for a second please"

"what is it love?"

"can you help my put on my shoes please." i batted my eyelashes at him.

He knelt taking my foot into his hands and kissing each one before placing them in my flats. Then he kissed my head and i guess went back to watch football with an "i love you."

i was right he was right back on the bed.

I place my bag, scarf and jacket on the foot of our bed.

"you look pwetty mama" we were looking into a speech therapist for him but decided against it, he would grow out of it and if he didn't by the age of five then we would take him

"thank you my little love. come on baby, lets get you dressed"

"Kay I want to look like daddy" he said hopping down from the bed.

I looked at Edward, he just shrugged at me.

"you got it dude" i said in my best Michelle tanner voice.

"you're silly mama" he laughed

"i try" i giggled along with him

for James i picked out a navy blue and red argyle sweater with some navy blue pants and a blue and white stripped button up with his low red chucks that had faux fur lining and i grabbed his toggle wool blend jacket from his closet.

"mama i wanteded a jacket like daddy"

"you Don't have one baby"

"i know that's momma" he said with an exaggerated sigh

"thatsed why i saids i wanteded one" he repeated. got yah buddy.

"alright baby, ill try my very best to get you one before your sisters come"

when we were finally ready i went downstairs to meet my father there patiently waiting on us.

"finally i thought you guys sneaked out and left me, i even had checked to make sure the cars were still here"

"very funny dad. Come on lets go."

"now im the one being hurried i didn't say anything when you guys were upstairs taking forever." he grumbled while putting on his jacket.

He was dress basically the same way Edward was except instead of an argyle sweater he just had on a mint green button up.

On our way to the restaurant i started having braxton hicks contractions which i had been having for a while now.

"you okay there love?" Edward asked when he saw me rub my stomach

"yeah we're good"

"mama?"

"yes little love?" because that's what his is. My little love.

"whens is my likkle sistews getting here?"

"in about 4 weeks baby"

"whens is that?"

"soon baby really soon"

"oh okay."

we settled into a peaceful quiet waiting for the next question that we were sure was about to come.

"mama" there you go

"yes little love"

"whens mys likkle sistews come do i have tah shawes my toys?"

"well not right away and im not really sure if they would want to play race cars. Why do you ask?"

"oh because my fwiend at scwool he saided that's he haded to share his toys with his brother and he no want to..." just as i was going to respond he continued on.

"i not mind shawing withs my sisters caused gwampa chawlie saided that i be a good big bwother and big bwothers look after the likkle ones and help them and show them how to play"

"well grandpa charlie is right. You are going to be a great big brother" i looked back at my dad and smiled. I wonder what else they talk about when i think they're watching football.

At the restaurant

when we pulled up at the restaurant Edward came round to the passenger side to help me out while my dad unbuckled James from his car seat.

Walking into the restaurant holding Edwards hand i turned to make sure that the were behind us.

"i wanna hold momma hand" he grabbed onto my hand

"hi. Cullen please"

"yes sir right this way" the hostess answered. Leading us through the restaurant and up some stairs. Canalis is one of the best restaurants in Seattle.

Turning the corner into the dining area all i heard was "surprise" being screeched. I had to turn to see who was behind me, it was just my father why was there a surprise party going on? It was none of our birthdays.

"ummmm...whats going on?" i asked totally dumfounded and bewildered.

"surprise Bella. Its a baby shower dinner" Alice answered, ever the excited one.

"a what?"

"a baby shower dinner"

"i have never heard of such thing in my life"

"well you said you didn't want a baby shower we thought we would give you a baby shower dinner" i looked at Edward.

"love i swear, i had nothing to do with this. I was just appointed to get you here" i looked around at the dining room, it was very classy, not what you see at a usual baby shower. There were no balloons or streamers, just the tables set with party favours in front of the plates. It looked great and since they had gone through all this trouble and plus i really wanted to sit i accepted without a fuss.

"thank you everyone. Especially you Alice. This looks great"

"come one love"

"Edward took my hand guiding me to a seat where there was a booster seat set up for James"

After everyone had eaten and everything my dad, Emmett, jasper and Carlisle excused themselves only to return soon after with gifts.

Opening them i received a whole lot of pink clothing from Alice. Three of each.

From Esme and Carlisle we got a triplet stroller. Which i was thankful for, but we had already bought 2 sets of twin stroller that can either carry two car seats or a car seat and a toddler. And the twin strollers were much more easier to maneuver. I guess they didn't know.

Emmett and Rose got us a play pen so the girls could sleep in the day. I loved it. I had 'night night sleep tight' written on the sides. The girls could sleep in there when we we're downstairs.

Everyone else got us clothes or other little things that we may need. Its a good thing there was a big closet in their room. They'll need it.

Out of everything that we got i think what my dad got them was my favourite. He bought those pacifier clip things that keeps the pacifier hooked onto their clothes if it were to fall from their mouths. I got them all pink but with different shapes in swarovski crystals. One had a heart, the other had a crown and the final one had flower. He also bought just some plain see through pacifiers. I loved them.

And to not be left out my dad also bought a shirt for James that read, im going to be a big brother to triplets. He loved it.

The cake was a large square with a medium sized circle in the middle of it, on top of the circle was three little babies peaking out from under a blanket. Written on the larger part of the cake was congratulations Edward and Bella 2011. it was very cute.

I whispered in Edwards ear that it was time we told them just when we finish having a slice of cake.

"okay everyone" Edward called for their attention.

"we want to thank everyone for showing up tonight and doing this even though i wife did not want a baby shower, i think this baby shower dinner has gone amazingly well. We were going to share this with my family when they came over for Sunday dinner tomorrow evening but since everyone went out of their way to do this for us we have an announcement to make"

"don't tell me the doc found another one in there yesterday. Damn belly no one wonder you're so big" Emmett interrupted earning him a slap on the head from rose and a slap on the arm from Esme.

"be quiet Emmett" Esme hissed at him.

"damn i was just asking a question. Why the abuse?"

"mama uncke em useded a curse word"

"that he did" i said shooting a glare at Emmett across the table.

"sorry little man. Just ignore me"

"so whats the announcement?" Alice asked vibrating in her seat. Should of made sure she didn't have any cake.

"we are going to share the names of our little girls" i heard a squeal come from Esme that could rival that of Alices' .

"tell us, tell us" Alice chanted.

"sure you want to know?" Edward teased.

"Edward Anthony Masen Cullen. Do not play with your mother boy"

"yes ma'am"

"well..." i started

"get on with it already Christ man" you would think that came from one of the my father chief Charles swan. Ladies and gentle men.

"their names are going to be Alexis Marie Grace Cullen, Charlotte Ivy Antonia Cullen and Emilee Carlie Elizabeth Cullen."
