Remember Me
Chapter 13
2 years later
We were loving every minute of our home, we threw the best parties and became great friends with our neighbors.
Izzy was in 2nd grade this year, so Bella finally went back to work as well, this time she went to work at Izzy's school, teaching 5th grade. I continued teaching gym and coaching football.
Today was a special day for us, we were going to find out the sex of our baby.
Bella was 4 months pregnant and couldn't be happier, nor could I.
Rose and Edward were expecting around the same time, she already knew she was having a boy.
Jasper and Alice were in no hurry, they just moved in together a year ago and were enjoying traveling and spoiling Izzy and there soon to be other niece or nephews.
Bella and I dropped Izzy off with Esme and went to the doctors appointment. The tech had Bella all lubed up and ready to go, as soon as she sat the wand down, we saw two heads, no one had to explain, it was clear as day, Bella started crying as did I, I squeezed her hand while we waited for the tech to take the first picture and carry on. "I think you've got 2 boys." she smiled. She drew little circles to what we though the penis' were. We had copies of all the pictures made to give to the grandparents. We called Esme from Carlisle's office and she was so excited, when she told Izzy she screamed a little girls scream and Esme joked her glass windows had just shattered.
We got home that night and looked through our empty rooms and took the next biggest one and the boys would share that one for the time being.
Emmett wanted to do the room in only sports, at first I resisted and then gave in. I'd let him have his fun.
The next few months flew by, Rose and I had a shower together, since we were only due days apart. I looked like I was due to pop any day, due to my boys, the doctor said this would be a c-section, because they were so big, so we had it scheduled for 2 weeks from today, which would be July 4th. And they were already proving to be firecrackers, every time they heard Emmett's booming laugh, they kicked. Edward and dad's laugh they kicked, music, they'd roll and kick. When I would read to them, they'd move but not kick, it was much calmer.
Rose went into labor a week early and had their little boy, Edward Anthony II. That's all Edward could talk about, having his son named after him, he was 8lbs./4oz. And 21 inches long. And had wisps of blond hair, that looked like bronze was painted in, unusual, yes, but adorable.
Finally our day came and everyone was there, even Rose and Ed Jr. as Emmett had taken to calling him, which pissed Edward off. But all in good fun. When my boys came out, they were both bigger than Rose's, I knew I was having gargantuan boys. We named them Ailin Emmett / 8lbs.-8oz. 20 inches long(meaning handsome in Irish, pronounced Allen) and Adhamh Emmett/9lbs.-1oz. 22inches (meaning of the earth in Irish, pronounced Adam). All I can say is Thank God that I didn't have then naturally.
We brought the boys home and they were night and day. Ailin had Emmett's hair and Adhamn had a mixture of mine and Edward's color, but texture like Emmett's, they both had dimples and were always hungry. I tried to nurse in the beginning, but it drained me to bad, they had to go on the bottle and it's seems they were never satisfied. Izzy loved helping with the feedings, though she always had to have them on a pillow or in a bouncy seat, they were just to heavy for her to hold.
I didn't think that I'd ever get my figure back, I was the size of a house by the time I delivered, it took almost 9 months before I could fit into my old clothes again, I was seriously starting to get depressed.
Rose was back in her clothes within 2 months have having her little man, but of course she married Edward, talk and lanky, not Emmett the Incredible Hulk himself.
Our boys seems to have our personalities as well.
Ailin was Mr. Attention, he required attention 24/7, I swear he had Edward's traits, mom said Edward was like that when we were little, but Emmett's mom chimed in and said Em was the same way, great I would have the conceited class clown as my son. Adhamh, was like me, quiet and reserved, he didn't need a lot of attention, just whom ever held him at the time, mostly Izzy, she bonded with him well. We knew by these 3 boys being so close, any school who got them was going to be in trouble. Ailin and Edward were both the charmers, they already knew how to get what they wanted by giving little shrieks or cries, especially when the grandparents were around.
Alice played with the boys and bought them things, but Izzy was her 1, she spoiled her to the core.
Jasper, he loved them all, he liked to play rough, so it was usually Ailin who he'd throw in the air or run down the sidewalk with, Rose refused to let him do that with Edward Jr. and Adhamh, cried, he only let Jasper hold him when he sang, it was quite funny.
We were blessed as were our families with our new bundles of joy.
I had decided to stay home after the boys were born, I couldn't handle the thought of them being in daycare.
1 year later
We'd have play dates with Rose and E.J. as I started calling him, then one day out of the blue. Rose showed up and was crying. "Rose, what's wrong? We're suppose to be planning the boys 1st birthday, not you crying, talk to me." I urged.
"You know when Emmett, Edward and Jasper went out Saturday night?" I smiled because I actually had the house to myself, Alice had taken Izzy and my parents had the boys. "Yes. Why?" I asked puzzled.
"I found this in Edward's pocket." she pulled out a matchbook and opened it 'Eddie, thanks for everything.' is what it read on the inside. "I know he's smoking again and I don't know why. Has he said anything to you Bella? Please tell me." I sat there, still stunned, I didn't know what to say. "Rose, I'm so sorry, he hasn't said anything to me." I hugged her and kissed her forehead. "I will get to the bottom of this, I promise! Edward will NOT get away with this and if Emmett is involved in ANY way, I will kill him!" I said sternly.
I held Rose and let her finish crying.
"Rose, if you'd like to bring E.J. here and stay a few days it's fine, we've got enough room." I assured her.
"Thanks Bells, I might have to take you up on that in a few days. Let's get to the bottom of this first. O.K." she tried to smile and wipe her tears off. "Sure, anything you need." I smiled and hugged her.
I called my mom to see if she could keep the boys tonight, I told her I had something's to talk to Emmett about, and let her know I wasn't pregnant again, she sighed, sounded defeated. I then call Alice to see if she'd take Izzy to dinner and a movie, she was happy to, since Jasper was out of town.
Emmett got home that night and knew something was up, because I had no dinner ready and I was on the couch with a bottle of wine, not even bothering with the glass "Babe, is everything O.K.? Where are the kids? Dinner?" he asked confused. "Sit down Emmett, we need to talk." I gestured to the seat across from me. I threw the matchstick book at him and his face paled. "So, I guess you know what the fuck this is, right?" I snapped. "Bells, listen." he started, but I held up my hand. "3 things Emmett, I guess you know Edward has started smoking again and Edward had someone on the side and you know and are enabling him by going out so he can be with her! How the fuck is that suppose to make me feel? Do you think I can trust you right now?" I stood up and yelled.
"Bells, let me explain!" Emmett yelled back. "Oh, go ahead, this should be really fucking good!" I snapped back. "Look, he told me about her 2 weeks ago, he met her at a coffee shop, she's the Batista and he's been going there every morning now to see her. When we went out that night, he disappeared for a while, we thought he was out on the dance floor, then he came back and looked like he had sex and we asked what happened, he told us he'd just fucked the hot little Batista, he'd taken her to a hotel down the road, I yelled at him for 10 minutes straight and Jasper laughed it off, after Edward shrugged at me and Jasper wasn't upset, I let it go. What was I suppose to do?" he asked.
I got in his face "You, you need to get out! I can't trust you to tell me something like that, how do I know you're not doing the same thing? And don't think I'm not confronting Alice with Jasper's O.K. of the whole thing and then I will get Edward. This is uncalled for, one fucking fuck is screwing up 3 happy homes!" I was screaming and beating on his chest.
"Bells, I can assure you, there is no one but you. I swear on our children's lives, I only have eyes for you. I've never been in this position before. Please. I love you Bells." Emmett bent down to kiss me though my tears.
I wanted to believe him, but what my brother had done, how could I? I asked him if he could just go for the night or at least go into a guest room, I didn't want him in my bed tonight.
He sulked upstairs and shut his door to the office, I climbed the stairs to our room and drew a bubble bath and put on relaxing music, I had to calm down and relax. Tomorrow I would deal with Edward.
I slept horrible that night. Several times I felt like someone was watching me, I guess it's just not being use to sleeping in this huge room by myself.
I awoke in the morning and Emmett was gone, he left a note saying he had a staff meeting and he wanted to talk tonight.
I got dressed and drove to Rose's, I was going to follow Edward today. I got there just in time as he was leaving, I followed him to the coffee shop and watched him walk in, he walked up to a very young looking girl and kissed her, I mean, pulled her in a kissed her. I was fuming. I called Rose and told her I was having a talk with Edward today and told her about my conversation with Emmett last night and how Jasper and him both knew about it. She started crying again, I told her to calm down and asked what she told Edward when he got home last night. She said she'd told him she had a headache, he being a doctor, believed her.
I waited for Edward to leave and followed him to work. I waited about 40 minutes before I went to see him. His secretary told me to wait in his office. He walked in and smiled "Sis, what do I owe this wonderful surprise?" he tried to hug me, I pushed him away. "We need to talk. Do you have anything pressing right now?" I asked. "Is it you and Emmett?" he asked. "Well, yes and no." I said, not looking in his eyes, he could read me too well. He told his secretary to hold his calls and have someone cover his morning rounds.
"Edward, what is this?" I threw the matched at him. "Shit, where did you get these Bells?" he growled.
"I think you should ask where Rose found them, you stupid fucker!" I yelled at him. "Wh-what? Rose found them?" he stuttered. "Yep!" I responded smugly. "Why, Edward? Why would you screw up your marriage for a fling with a girl who looks barely 20!" I yelled. "She's 22 and she's passionate and she likes to have sex and doesn't care if I smoke and doesn't yell at me 24/7 and she doesn't have a kid screaming all night long!" he yelled at me. "Edward, that's a bunch of SHIT! Rose loves you! She's passionate, she likes sex and if the baby is crying, maybe you should examine him you stupid fucking doctor! And why in the HELL are you FUICKING smoking again? Have you lost your mind? Do I need to tell dad about this?" I threatened. "Bells, you need to calm down. You are being crazy! I can't believe that Emmett would be one to talk!" he smiled smugly. "What? What did you say?" I asked, knowing exactly what he meant. "Bella, do you think I was the only one with a girl that night? Please. Do you think I could be with someone and let them 2 assholes sit by? No, because they'd tell, they had their own tramps on their hips, see?" he whipped out his phone and showed me the picture of Jasper with a little blond bimbo with big boobs and Emmett with a tall redhead, kissing her cheek. I fell to the floor, my heart broke at that point and time. Edward came and wrapped his arms around me, I punched him in the jaw "get the fuck off me!" I yelled.
I grabbed his phone and forwarded all the pictures to my phone, this was not going to be a fun night at the McCarty house. I left his office and went to my parents house, luckily my dad had the late shift and the boys were napping, so we sat in the study and I showed them the pictures, my dad was furious and my mom said she would keep the boys again and she'd get Izzy for me and take her to school tomorrow for me. I hugged them both and they told me I was welcome here if I didn't want to stay in my house tonight. I said I'd call them and let them know. My dad pulled me aside and asked if I was feeling O.K. and I told him I was just wore out from being upset. He wanted to take my blood to make sure I was O.K., I handed him my arm and he took 3 vials and said he was headed out early to get these tests done and he'd call with results. I hugged them goodbye and headed home.
I called Rose and told her to be prepared for the texts I was sending and them I called Alice and filled her in and sent the text to her. I told Rose what happened at my parents house and at Edward's office. She was grateful that I did that for her. She had a locksmith coming to change the locks and Edward's stuff would be on the front lawn. Alice asked if she could stay with me, since she moved into Jasper's house and I told her yes, but asked if she would stay with Rose tonight, I had to finish with Emmett, Rose agreed and said she'd need someone there tonight. Alice wasted no time and called some friends to get her stuff out and put into storage, she was done by the time Jasper arrived home and around 5 she sent the picture to him, and put in the caption box 'I hope they were worth it!'.
I however was waiting for Emmett to get home, it was almost 5 and knew he'd be home soon, as I was sitting there and stewing with anger, my phone rang, it was my dad. "Hey, dad, you over reacted, right?" I smiled to myself. "Bells. Um, no… you're pregnant." I dropped my phone and fell to the floor, I could hear my dad yelling into the phone. I picked it back up and said "sorry dad, um it's a shock. I had no idea and I hadn't missed a period." I told him. "Bells, it'll be O.K. baby. I promise, mom and I are here for you and as for Edward, he knows he's in trouble. I told him to come find me when he's done with his shift." my dad said. I told him thank you and I'd call in the morning.
I sat on the couch waiting for Emmett to come home. I was getting more and more nervous as the time ticked by. It was now 6:30p.m. and he still wasn't home and still no call.
Finally at 7:30p.m. he came walking in, head hanging down. I threw my phone at him and went off "Open the fucking phone Emmett! Look, look what I found out today! I hope you're happy with her and that she can give you more children, because if I have anything at all to do with it, you'll never see any of your children again, including the one I'm pregnant with now!" I sat on the couch and cried. He came and sat by me and put his arm around me. "Bells, it's not what you think, I swear. I had my arm around her for a picture, that's it, she asked me to kiss her cheek, she was sending it to an ex that wouldn't leave her alone, if he saw her with someone else, he would. I swear baby, I waited for years for you, I'm not about to fuck this up. I love you and our children. I swear!" Emmett held me and cried.
"Emmett I want to believe you, but I just don't know." I cried. We held each other for over an hour until neither of us could cry anymore. "Can we go talk to my dad?" I asked Emmett. "Yeah, I think that's a good idea, he's always the voice of reason." Emmett smiled.
We got in the car and drove to the hospital, the nurse directed us to his office and said she'd page him for us. We waited about 20 minutes before he walked in. "Emmett" he said coldly and walked over to me and hugged me, asking if I was feeling O.K. I assured him I was fine, just tired.
We told him about everything and my dad, being great at reading people, believed Emmett and Emmett swore that would never happen again. Dad told us about Edward, he'd went home and Rose had changed all the locks and had his stuff on the lawn, he had to call Jasper and he's staying with him for now and he said that Alice was going to stay with Rose, instead of me, for now. He also told us that he'd put Edward on suspension for 2 weeks, he said the stress would mess with his ability to deal with patients properly.
Emmett and I went home and talked some more and we were going to work through this for our children's sake. We fell asleep in each others arms that night and a little bit of me felt guilty for being able to work our problems out and staying together, while the rest of our families were ripped apart thanks to my stupid ass brother.
