When I got out of the house, all I could do was scream for Edward. I screamed his name over and over again, until I finally spotted him running over to me. But then everything happened so fast. I saw Charlie's swift moving hand grab a gun out of one of the police officer's belts and shoot it in Edward's direction, hitting him directly in the stomach.

"EDWARD!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. More paramedics rushed over to him. They quickly put me in the ambulance, ignoring all of my screams and protests to be let out.

They drove me to the hospital. One paramedic was in the back of the vehicle with me and she was holding my hand, trying to call me down. Her name was Sue and I eventually calmed under her touch. She reminded me of the mother I wish I had. Like Esme. She had that warm motherly feel.

Eventually we arrived at the emergency room. I was about to scream out in pain. My stomach felt like it was being ripped open and my lower region wasn't exactly feeling all that well either. I wanted Edward; he was the only one that could help me through this. No one else could fill his position.

"Edward." I said. "Where is Edward?" I said louder.

"Bella!" It was Carlisle. "He's on his way here. He was shot in the stomach. He will have to go into surgery to remove the bullet. It went pretty far in there, but right now we have to take care of you and those babies. Bella, do you understand that some of them may not live through this?"

All I could do was nod. Afraid if I spoke, I would cry out.

Carlisle immediately rushed me into a room and ended up putting me to sleep.

I woke up, what seemed like days later, but was only a few hours. I opened my eyes and looked around the room. Once my eyes reached the other side of my room, there was Edward, lying in a hospital bed. They had put him in a room with me. He was right beside me too. His bed pressed up against mine.

He was awake and looking up at the ceiling. I could tell he had been crying, his eyes were all red and puffy, plus tears streaks stained his cheeks. "Edward." I croaked out. My voice was hoarse from yelling so much and not talking.

He jerked his head over and I could see his blood shot green eyes. "Bella!" He said smiling brightly. I tried to reach out to him, but there were so many IV's in my arm, I couldn't move it very far. He saw my struggling and reached over to take my hand in his.

"Why have you been-" I tried to clear my throat, but it was painful and didn't help at all. "-crying?"

Tears were brought back to his eyes again. "Bella-" His voice broke. Tears spilled over. "We lost them, well not all of them, but two. We lost two of our babies."

"What!" I rasped. No, no, no. This couldn't be happening. I knew it was a possibility, but no way could this be possible.

"Trey and Aubrey. They showed me an ultrasound while you were asleep and you know how we had the babies picked out to who were who, well. Aubrey and Ethan were the only ones missing. Jace was still kicking, but not as enthusiastically." He chuckled through his tears, "Ethan was being Ethan and just sitting by himself in his corner. Trey was the one that was just hanging out, not doing anything out of the ordinary. He wasn't there." A sob escaped his throat. "Then, Maiah, who played with her hands, like she was a guitar player or something, was still her usual self, and Dylan, the other calm one was there. But Aubrey, the cool, chill one, was gone. We lost a daddy's little girl and a momma's baby boy."

I was sobbing by this point and he was trying to contain his sobs, but was still crying.

We had both calmed down by the time Carlisle came in the room to give me some fluids in my body and give me some water to drink. "I'm sorry for you loss Bella. Very truly sorry. I'm still so happy that I get to have 4 grandchildren at once though." He tried to lighten the mood a little. I cracked a small smile, but on the inside I was begging him not to talk about it.

"Well, I'll leave you to alone. I'll be back to check on you both in an hour or so."

"Thanks, dad. For everything." Edward replied. Carlisle just nodded, then exited the room.

"I'm sorry, Edward." I said.

"Why are you sorry, baby? You didn't do anything wrong."

"It's my fault that we lost the babies. I didn't have all of the windows locked and I had left the back door open to get some fresh air in the kitchen. Charlie probably came in that way and it's my entire fault. I'm so sorry." I started to cry again.

"Bella Bella Bella. It's not your fault at all, honey. Charlie is a bad man who escaped from prison and for some sick reason wanted to hurt his only daughter. That's wrong, Bella. No matter how it happened or how it happened, it was not your fault it was Charlie's. Something isn't right in his brain, Bella. He's crazy. But he's dead now, so you don't have to worry anymore. I love you, Bella."

"Wait, what? He's dead? B-but how?"

"He tried to run when he shot me. The cops were momentarily distracted and he took off running. They shot at him and end up shooting him in the head twice."

"So, he's not going to hurt us anymore." I smiled at Edward. "Can we see your family now? Aren't they out there?"

"Yes, let me call Carlisle and he will bring them in."

Edward called Carlisle and I felt very relieved that we could put all of this behind us, except for my two missing little babies, now that Charlie is dead and can never hurt us again. I'll miss my stomach being so big. Since two babies are gone now, my stomach shrunk about three sizes.

I'm still glad we are having four babies. I don't know what I would have done if we had lost them all. I would have been a wreck, gone into major depression, which would send Edward into it too. Or maybe we could have tried for more. We had both been so excited about the babies, and if we had lost them, we could always try again. And if we wanted more in the future, we would try then too.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when the door opened and Edward's family poured in. Rosalie, Alice, and Esme all rushed to me, hugging me and telling me how sorry they were. Of course, we were all crying. The boys went to talk to Edward, also telling him how sorry they were and telling Edward what he had missed out on at home.

We all talked for a long time, until Carlisle came in and told them it was time to leave. We gave hugs all around, even to Emmett and Jasper. Carlisle was the last to go and I gave him the longest hug. He was the closest thing I had to the father.

Right before he left, he bent down and whispered in my ear. "You're part of the family now, Bella. Like it or not, you're my daughter." He kissed my head, in a fatherly gesture and exited the room.

Edward and I stayed up for a while talking, but eventually we both fell asleep, the days catching up with us.

3 months later (November 20, Bella is 10 months pregnant)

EPOV

We were at my annual family barbeque at my parent's house. Carlisle was at the grill, Emmett, Jasper, and I were tossing the football around, and the girls were laughing and talking over at the picnic table that was set up.

Thanksgiving and Christmas went by smoothly. Bella was cutting back on the stress and we were back at our home. She was due any day now, she was actually a week passed her due date and the doctor said if she went another week without going into labor, she would break her water for her. She was really nervous.

Emmett was also really nervous. About 4 months ago, Rosalie found out she was pregnant, so she was slightly showing and already had a whole plate of food to eat, plus she was going to eat when the burgers and hot dogs were done. Pregnant woman eat a lot! Bella has eaten at least three times her weight in food today. She was still very huge, but not as big as she was when she was still carrying Aubrey and Trey.

After the week we found out about Aubrey and Trey being miscarried, it was very depressing for me and Bella. But after a little while, we realized we still had 4 other wonderful babies to look forward to. So over the last few months, we finished the nursery and painted some other bedrooms. The extra ones will be guest rooms for when other people stay over and for when Bella kicks me out of the bedroom.

Bella has kicked me out at least 10 times. But I never stay in there all night. She quickly gets over whatever it was that was bothering her and then she comes and gets me. Or sometimes she just stays in there with me.

Finally the burgers were almost done and Emmett Jasper and I were all sweaty. The girls demanded we go take showers, so we ran inside and took quick showers. When we came back out, everyone else had already gotten their food, so we got plates and piled them high with Esme and the girl's delicious food.

I went to sit by Bella, along with the other guys who sat by their partners.

"Hey." Bella said, kissing me. We held the kiss, me being the sex-deprived husband that I am, deepened the kiss and we were making out like horny teenagers. Bella finally pulled away after Emmett so rudely yelled out an idiotic statement.

"Are you having fun?" I asked her, starting in on my food.

"Yeah, we were talking about baby names for Rose's baby." She took a bite of Mac and
Cheese.

"Cool." I just nodded my head and continued eating.

It was silent for a few minutes, before Bella let out an agonizing groan. I looked over to her and saw her face contorted into a pained expression. "Bella, honey, what's wrong?" I asked her.

"Contractions!" She gasped out. "My water broke." I gasped and took her hand, pulling her up out of the seat.

Everyone scrambled around, Alice ran into the house, grabbing Bella's bag. We always carried it with us now so incase this ever happened. Bella yelled out again and crushed my hand in her tiny one.

"Bella, just breathe deeply. Through the nose, out the mouth. We went over this in the birth class." I tried to sooth her as I rushed her to the car.

We eventually made it to the car and drove to the hospital, everyone driving right behind us. I guess everyone was just going to leave all of the food setting outside.

We made it to the hospital and we rushed inside, Carlisle went over to the nurse and she quickly rolled over a wheelchair. I sat Bella down in it and I followed Carlisle into the room where Bella was going to be prepped for her C-Section.

"This is it baby. This is what we've been waiting 10 months for!" I told her excitedly.

"Yeah." Another contraction ran through her body and she crushed my hand again. "Here goes nothing."

Well, I'm a horrible person. I didn't update when I said I would and it's been weeks. Humph. Anyway, I hope you guys liked this chapter because there won't be another one until after Christmas. I'm sorry, but I just won't have time to do another one until I get my new laptop.

So, review and tell me what you think. Please! You can even yell at me for being late and not being able to update until after Christmas. –Love and Rocket's, Shalaina.
