This is the last chapter I can post before I go to my Dad's for two weeks but my unofficial beta, best friend, & sister has graciously offered to post 4 chapters for me over the course of the next two weeks. I now have over 100 reviews and to celebrate, my 100th reviewer, Nicole Weasley Cullen, got to help make her own character for my plot twist. :) She also won a shirtless hug from my review god boys, simultaneously. YAY for her. LOL.

And finally may I present: Baby Cullen. :)

Four weeks later:

Esme and I had been going to work with our husbands every day since Edward told us about Ellie. She had grown to love me and so did her family as I had grown to love them just as fiercely. I thought the back pain a month ago was terrible, this was hell. I was sitting in Ellie's bed with Sarah while Hannah and Pete were getting food when I felt the pain grow exponentially in my back and stomach region.

I got up to try and walk the Braxton-Hicks contractions out when I noticed a warm liquid running down my leg. The pain hit me twice as hard as before. I moaned in pain. Right now, I would like nothing more to shoot Edward in the foot. Maybe he would feel a tenth of my pain if I did.

"OW!!! SH--SUGAR HONEY ICED TEA!!!", I roared out as a huge contraction hit me a few minutes later. Ellie giggled at my attempts at cursing weakly. I felt worse for her, even now when I was sure my uterus had imploded and destroyed my abdomen. She was already getting so terribly ill, her hair brittle and lackluster, her eyes shining less and less everyday.

Edward told me she barely had a month left to live. I felt almost guilty for bringing this child into the world knowing that too soon, another would be taken in its place. It wasn't fair for this beautiful and intelligent girl to die.

"Are you having the baby now, BB?", Ellie asked while grabbing my hand to comfort me. She was too much sometimes. I wasn't the one who needed comfort. This intense physical pain was nothing like the emotional pain the whole family was suffering.

I wanted to roll my eyes at her for calling me BB. Emmett had come up here and called me Baby Bell and it stuck in Ellie's bright mind.

"Yep", I tried to say as cheerfully as possible. Judging by the looks on Sarah and Ellie's faces, I had just epicly failed. Sarah's face was full of concern for me. I knew she was thinking of ways to push me to that delivery room but she also knew that I was aware that time with her baby sister was running short. I wanted to spend as much of it as I could with her.

"Does it hurt, Bella, it looks like it reaaaaally hurts", Ellie observed. Honestly she was too smart to be dying at eight. She could have grown up to be a Rhodes scholar for fucks sake.

"Oh, it's not that bad. Pretty soon, I'll have my pretty little boy in my arms and I'll come and visit you with my EJ", I tried to breeze through that statement as nonchalantly as possible but a contraction hit me at the end.

"They're getting really close, Bella. You need to go to maternity ASAP. If you don't go willingly, I'll call your husband up here", Sarah threatened with her arms crossed and her eyes narrowed. She had been reading too much into Ignacio's character in that play I made her read, En La Ardiente Oscuridad, I noticed.

"You drive a hard bargain, Sarah. You take your Ignacio very seriously apparently. But I can't leave her now. You know that." Her eyes softened at me. She knew I was so afraid that I'd never get to say goodbye to her.

"I promise you, Bella, I won't let her leave on you." I nodded and hugged them both before I shuffled out of the room.

Once I reached the doorway, Ellie yelled, "Can you name the baby girl Natalie?"

I laughed. She was so insistent that I was going to have a baby girl no matter how many times I told her the baby was a boy.

Thank goodness that maternity was only down the hall and a nurse saw me doubling over in pain and assisted me to a private room. I read her nametag. Nicole. (Haha, this is actually not the character I was talking about before but I decided to put this one in too.)

"It's the big day, finally, eh?" I nodded. She continued questioning me.

"Do you want me to call them both up here?" I nodded yes again. She laid me down in the bed.

"Do I need to call anyone else?" I shook my head.

"If my husband is speechless, I'm sure Carlisle will call everyone for me." We both laughed and I heard the announcement over the hospital intercom.

"Drs. Cullen to maternity. Thundercats are go!" Not three minutes later, my husband flew into my room, red-faced and worried.

"Did I miss anything? How far apart are the contractions? Are you sure you still want me to deliver?" I rolled my eyes at him.

"No, you didn't miss anything. Five minutes. I should have one in a minute. And yes." He sat down in the chair next to me.

"Wow, this is going faster than I expected. I don't think you can even get a spinal block now. Is it alright if I check how dilated you are?" I nodded. He had me put my feet in stirrups as he checked.

"Six centimeters. Damn. Wizard, we could be holding our baby in two hours!", he said in wonderment as a contraction worked its way through my body again. He sat next to me again and let me crush his hand. I almost felt bad as he winced from me crushing his hand but he said if he could share the pain of giving birth to our son, he would. Well he was.

After a couple of contractions, I was already feeling incredibly exhausted but my spirits rose when Emmett, Carlisle, Esme, and Dad entered the room. They were all smiles while I was laying on the hospital bed in absolute pain and misery. Esme came to my side immediately.

"How is it, Bella?" At this point, if any of the men would have asked me that, I probably would have ripped their balls off and asked if it hurt. But Esme was my sister in this one, she had given birth to two babies, one right after the other, Alice first and then her baby brother, Edward. She understood how much this actually hurt. She was also the closest thing I had to a mother at this point.

I grabbed her hand to make her sit on the bed next to me. "Oh, Mommy, it hurts so bad."

She ran her fingers through my sweaty, disgusting hair. "I know sweetie, it'll be over soon and you'll see your little baby."

She let me lay my head in her lap as Edward checked me again. He came up pale faced and I sat up quickly, worried that something was wrong with the baby.

"Nothing's wrong, wizard, it's just that you're ready to push." Carlisle went off to prepare a delivery room for us as Edward scrubbed up in the room with me and prepared me for delivery.

"Esme, you're my mother to me and I really need you in there with me. You too Emmett and Dad. I need you guys with me. I want you all to meet Edward Carlisle with us." Edward threw them scrubs and then wheeled me off to delivery with them chasing. He leaned over me as he pushed me through the halls.

"We're going to be parents", he remarked in awe.

"Really, Edward? I was sure that I was only getting fat, but you're the doctor here so I guess you know best." He smiled a beatific smile.

"In labor and still making jokes. That's my Bella." Now we were all in the room and everything was good to go for me to start pushing. Edward stood between my legs with Carlisle right next to him. Dad and Emmett were holding up my legs as I pushed and Esme held my hand and wiped my burning forehead off with a cold washcloth. By the tenth push, I laid flush against the mattress and couldn't find the strength to push again.

"Bella, baby, he's crowning, he's got little bronze hair already, but I need one more push to get him out, can you do that?" I shook my head. "Emmett and Charlie, help her sit up and push." They did and my face turned puce with my efforts to get my baby out and then it was all silence and happy chaos at once.

My universe discarded the rest of the sounds in the world as it found its new focus: the bloody, screaming, baby boy in my husband's arms. I hadn't even held him yet and already my heart swelled to contain the love I felt for the two people directly in front of me. Edward cut his cord and handed him to Esme who cleaned up my little boy and measured him and such. I recalled that she was a nurse before Alice was born.

Edward took care of me, making sure I wasn't bleeding internally when he paused for a second. That's when I realized my body was still having excruciating contractions and I knew that wasn't normal. He checked the fetal heart monitor on me and had Carlisle check it too. They both broke out into even greater smiles together.

"Bella, it was twins. It happens sometimes where one twin hides behind the other. This one will probably be smaller too. Wizard, Mom was right, I knocked you up twice." I didn't even have a chance to hold EJ before it was time to push again. Esme handed my son off to a waiting nurse where he would be taken to the nursery until he was hungry enough to feed.

I had to admit I was really much too tired to push anymore but this baby took a shorter amount of time to work out. When Edward brought it up to me after he cut the cord and took its vitals and cleaned it, he whispered in my ear.

"Say hello to your little baby girl, Wizard." I started crying as he handed me my baby girl. I started laughing and he gazed at me skeptically.

"Ellie told me to name my little girl Natalie. I have no clue how she knew." I gazed down at the tiny little human in my arms. Her eyes were still closed as she burrowed into my chest.

"Love, she's hungry, do you want me to help you feed her?" I nodded. At this point, everyone else had cleared out and left them in the room until our little girl had to go to the nursery too.

She latched on to me immediately and a wave of joy rode through me. I was feeding my baby. She relied on me to keep her alive still and I hadn't even known she existed. What a miracle.

"Does she have a name yet, Baby Bell?" I leaned over to him and whispered it. He grinned and then his angelic features fell as he realized why she got that name. Eventually they wheeled us back to the room I was in before where EJ awaited us. Edward took our baby girl as I held EJ and let him feed. I was so amazed that these two little magical creatures actually came from me.

Our little girl had my hair coloring mostly but it was streaked with bright bronze highlights and it stuck out everywhere no matter how I tried to tame it. When she finally opened her eyes, there were the newborn blue with hazel specks laced through them already. Edward had gotten his dream baby after all. I had gotten my dream baby through her too because she was already asleep in my arms as Edward wrestled around on my bed, trying to calm his wild mini-me.

Edward Carlisle had fiercely wild bronze hair that made him look like he was shocked. His eyes were already a replica of Edward's emerald green eyes. He had also inherited the Cullen restlessness from his daddy as Edward learned from trying to get him to sleep. Eventually Edward leaned him to his son's ear and whispered something too low for me to hear. But EJ smiled his first smile at his dad and Edward gasped, a tear running down his cheek as his baby boy wandered off to sleep.

"He looks just like my baby pictures." I reached over to stroke my baby's hair.

"That's why he's perfect." Edward looked over at the sleeping baby in my arms.

"She's a perfect mixture of you and me. It's amazing to me how two messed up kids like us ended up with two beautiful babies." The door opened then. I scrunched my eyebrows together in confusion. Carlisle had told everyone to stay away for tonight because he knew how much this labor had taken out of me.

Ellie and Sarah entered the room. My smile grew larger as Ellie crawled up to between Edward and I on the bed.

"See, Bella, you had two babies, I told you." I ruffled her baby fine hair.

"I know, beautiful. Do you want to hold her?" She nodded emphatically. I carefully handed my baby girl off to her and told her to support the head. The picture in front of me was so tragically beautiful. Ellie's face was exuberant as she held my tiny baby in her arms. Ellie loved children so much and this would be the only time in her life that she would be able to hold a fragile little infant in her arms. The hormones still coursing through me were too much and I burst out into tears. With his free arm, Edward cradled me in his arms and wiped away me as he pushed back tears of his own.

He knew how much this all meant to me. That everything in this room was everything I could ever want and it wouldn't last like this for long. I knew that even though I prayed that whatever superior being could miraculously cure my girl. I wish I could give her my bones to give her just even a few more years. Edward handed off EJ to Sarah who stood there marvelling at her sister's interaction with the little baby and at the own little one in her arms.

I smiled at Ellie. "Do you know what her name is?" She shook her head no.

"Elena Natalie Cullen." (Elena was my best friend's mom's real name; we all called her Ellie too. Natalie is the part Nicole Weasley Cullen picked out. :D)

Her responding smile was enough to give me hope in anything. Hope that her body would heal, hope that Edward and I wouldn't fail as parents, hope that even Renee could change her ways.

How could I have known then that I would only be lucky enough to get one of my wishes?

EPOV: (Come on, you know I had to resurrect this POV, the review god boys made me & I can't resist their manly charms. LOL. He won't go into detail about the birth but he'll talk more about what happened afterwards.)

Four weeks after meeting Ellie:

Work was hectic as hell today.I was balancing between my OB/GYN stuff and the oncology I do for Ellie. At lunch I finally got my break in the hospital cafeteria, sitting across from my father. I ran my fingers through my hair and rested my head on my elbows.

"Edward, feeling OK, son?", my father questioned. I nodded my head. He huffed as he took a forkful of penne. "Edward Anthony, you couldn't fool about parties in high school and you can't fool me now. Something is wrong and as your father, I just want to know what's going on."

I crossed my arms. "You want to know, Dad? First, my favorite patient is dying, fucking dying and there's nothing I can do about it and that's pretty fucking messed up that the sweetest, most maternal, and most intelligent eight year old is on her deathbed when she should be dancing and laughing and just fucking living.

Secondly, my wife is nine months pregnant with our first kid and she spends all day worrying about Ellie and there's nothing I can do about that either. Thirdly, yeah, I'm tired as hell from putting in all these hours so I can take a month off with Bella and EJ.

But the worst thing is that I'm just convinced that I'll be a shit father, OK? Is that what you wanted to hear Dad?"

My father moved into the seat next to me in the full cafeteria. I just collapsed on my father's shoulder and sobbed my eyes like a baby. I didn't care if the whole hospital staff was watching me have this breakdown.

"Everyone has these worries, Edward. I did and you and Alice turned out well, weird but OK. You'll be fine. Just because you've made some serious fuckups in your life doesn't make you any less of a man. You've apologized and been forgiven by everyone but yourself. Try to do that and find yourself peace."

"I don't know if I can. I still don't deserve an angel like my Bella, my wizard in my bed every night. I don't understand how she keeps loving me more and more every day", I whispered lowly through my tears.

"Edward", my father said sternly.

"No, Dad, when I first found out about this kid, I thought there goes my life, I'm just a kid myself still, how can I raise one? I know I've wanted kids and I don't feel that way now but damn, I don't deserve this baby!"

Dad put his strong hands on my shoulders. "Edward, you've always been a caring individual. You watched over little Bella when you guys were just kids, you became a doctor. and whether you know it or not, you already care for this baby so much. No one deserves a child more than you and Bella."

"Thanks, Dad." He gave me a warm smile.

"No problem, son. Now let's go and save some people." I laughed. We dumped the remnants of our lunch into the garbage and took our trays up to the industrial sized sink when we heard the intercom.

"Drs. Cullen to maternity. Thundercats are go!"

We both gasped and instead of being smart, we ran up the stairs. We were on the first floor and maternity was on the eighth. Fuck. But the entire time we were running, I was blabbering that I was going to be a dad.

The idea still shocked me and scared the shit out of me but I knew that becoming a father under the circumstances that I had was the best mistake I ever had made. Once we got to maternity, the nurses all pointed to her room.

There she lay on the hospital bed, my princess, sweating and red-faced, her perfect features scrunched up in pain. I had always thought that childbirth was a beautiful and as an OB/GYN, I was proud to have my own role in bringing children into this world and Isabella sure did look beautiful as always, but I felt terrible that I had put her in so much pain.

Once I had checked her over, I realized that she couldn't have just gone into labor. I couldn't blame her though for sticking out the pain to gain even a few extra little moments with Ellie. Bella didn't even have to tell me her feelings about Ellie for me to figure it out.

She already considered Ellie to be like a daughter to her. Pete, Sarah, and Hannah's pain was projected onto a woman who already had so much to deal with. But my lady took it all in stride and cared for that little girl like I imagined she would do with our own child.

Time flew by in an hour's time and my Wizard was ready to push out our baby. I took her into delivery and got started. Though Bella would never admit it, she swore like a sailor during labor. Honestly, I didn't blame her, labor looked like it really hurt. She made dirty words sound so pretty.

Soon enough, I held my tiny son in my arms as I cut his umbilical cord. I took a second to really study his features before I handed him off to my mother to take to the nursery. He had wild, untamable bronze hair like me and I apologized to him for it. He also had my strong jaw, my lips, and cheekbones but he had Bella's pert little nose.

I looked at my exhausted wife to notice that she was still having contractions. Damn. This wasn't good. We were only having one baby, right? Well when I consulted Carlisle about it, he had said that it was twins. This situation actually happened quite a bit where the smaller twin would hide behind the other one and not show up in sonograms.

My poor wife was already so tired so I had Emmett and her father help push her up. This baby didn't take as long to get out and I was anxious to meet my other little baby. Tears flooded my eyes as I beheld my little girl. She had creamy white skin like her mother, her mother's pouty lips, my nose, her mother's crazy brown curls with bronze highlights and was just in general, the baby I had dreamed about when I had dreamed of my children. She was perfect.

I cleaned my little girl and took all the vital information we needed about her and then swaddled her in a baby pink, fleece blanket. I carried her to her sweaty and dishelved but beautiful mother.

"Say hello to your little girl, Wizard." Bella's eyes shone as she breathed in the sight of her daughter and cried. She carefully scooped the tiny bundle in her arms as I sat down close to them both. Bella started laughing and then explained that Ellie had wanted her to name the girl Natalie.

I noticed that the baby was smacking her lips together and trying to suck at the skin on Bella's collarbone. "Love, she's hungry, do you want me to help you feed her?"

Bella nodded wearily and I helped pull the gown down so her breasts were free and led the little baby to Bella's nipple where she immediately started sucking in milk. Bella smiled happily at her little baby, proud that she took so fast to her and that they could have this mother/daughter bonding. She told me that her name would be Elena Natalie for Ellie. I beamed but with a tinge of sadness to it because after Ellie died, our daughter's name would be the only reminder we had left of her.

I took her back to our room where we got stopped by many hospital staffers who wanted to see the unexpected Cullen girl. They all said that she was the perfect combination of me and my darling wife, which was pretty accurate. When we got back to her private room, I saw that EJ was already there in his own little crib that was big enough to put my daughter in too.

I carefully lifted my aching wife out of the wheelchair and placed her in bed with our children. I left her hold them both and then I took Ellie as she fed EJ, cooing in a baby voice to him the entire time. The amount of love I felt in this room was enough to burst my heart. She gave me EJ back and she took Natalie and we talked for a bit before Ellie and Sarah came in like I had arranged.

Seeing Ellie holding my daughter with such love in her eyes caused Bella and I to both break into tears. I held her tightly as Sarah held EJ. They left soon after the twins fell asleep. I put them in their little plastic crib and Bella rolled over so she could face them. She put her hand in the crib to put her finger over EJ's steadily beating heart and in his sleep, he reached up and grabbed his mother's finger with a firm grip.

I cuddled into Bella as she fell asleep quickly. It didn't take too much for me to follow her into sleep.

The next morning I woke up to a room full of people and camera flashes. Alice. Great. When I sat up, she started talking rapidly.

"Can I decorate the other baby's room? What's her name? Can I hold them? You have to see the pictures I took, they're soooooo cute." I groaned and then answered all of her questions.

"Yes, Elena Natalie, no, not until they're up. The babies and Bella need their rest." She clapped her hands excitedly. Her husband came forth and ran his fingers through my son's hair as he grinned.

"Ed, your boy looks like your clone." I smiled widely.

"I know but my baby girl looks so much like her momma." EJ opened his bright green eyes and opened his little mouth to yawn. Alice took more pictures. My little boy stared up at his uncle in amazement.

"Can I hold him, Ed?"

"Course, Jazz." Jasper gently pulled my son into his arms, holding a baby exactly like they're supposed to be held. Jasper's presence seemed to calm the baby because last night he squirmed as I held him but with Jasper he just lay there, looking cute. Alice swiped her nephew from her husband's arms and whispered evilly to him as she stared at me. No doubt she was teaching my son how to push my buttons.

Ellie woke up and started crying. Emmett picked her up and she immediately hushed up.

"Aww, little E, don't cry, you don't want to wake up Momma, do you?" I almost started laughing at the sight of Bella's tough brother, who had once threatened to chop off my balls, cooing to this little girl who looked even smaller in his huge arms. They all took their turns holding my kids as Bella gently stirred.

"How are you feeling, Baby Bell?", her dad asked while he held EJ.

She wiped the sleep from her eyes. "A little sore but happy. Can I see my baby boy?"

Charlie nodded and handed Bella EJ. She cooed to him as she tickled his little belly.

"Bells, you've got two beautiful babies." She blushed at her father.

"Thanks, Daddy." Emmett handed me Ellie and I held her tight in my arms. He had an evil grin on his face.

"You know, Ed, I don't like calling him EJ and we can't call him Edward and we can't call him Carlisle so I came up with a nickname for him: Chuck."

Bella's eyes narrowed as I had my mother take EJ from her arms. Rage filled her delicate features.

"Emmett. James. Swan. You. are. not, I repeat, are not, calling my baby Chuck." Emmett pouted.

"But Baby Bell, he does look like Chucky with your husband's crazy hair on his little head." She threw the TV remote at him.

Yep, Bella was feeling better. Emmett laughed and the whole family soon joined in. This time, I thought, it could all be perfect. Unfortunately, my perfect life couldn't last forever.

"I don't want to leave her now,

You know I believe in Hell.

You're asking me will my love grow?

I don't know, I don't know

If you stick around, then it may show."
