Chapter 20
Bella's POV
"Alice, no that's way too expensive!" I yelled at Alice.
She rolled her beautiful eyes at me. "But Bella this is adorable and I want what's best for my niece and nephew."
"Alice, we don't know for sure if it's going to be a boy and a girl."
"We will find out in a few more minutes." She said to me.
How cam someone so small be so annoying?
All of us were waiting for Carlisle to arrive in the room after his shift is over in the hospital but I was in no hurry. Edward put headphones on my stomach once again, so the babies could hear more music and I could feel them kicking with delight. "Who is the artist this time?" I asked him. Lately, he's playing classic music believing that one day; our child will play classical music for everyone.
"Linkin Park," Edward grinned. I couldn't help but laugh that was new one.
The door opened as Carlisle stepped in with his white coat. "Sorry, Bella I was just finishing up with my last patient."
"It's alright, Carlisle. I'm in no hurry." I told him.
"Easy for you to say." Emmett said. "I can't wait to win this bet."
"What makes you think you'll win?" Jasper questioned him.
"Alright, enough you two." Carlisle said. "I need the room to be quiet."
He put the cold gel on my abdomen and we waited until the black screen appeared on the computer and all of us heard the double heartbeats. The heartbeats of my children. I touched the screen, feeling as if I already knew my children, without getting to know them. Then, Carlisle removed the remote from my stomach and looked at both me and Edward.
"Bella, Edward, congratulations you two are having a boy and a girl." Carlisle said.
"A boy and a girl?" Edward echoed.
I couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, hearing the news. "We're having a boy and a girl, Edward."
I felt Edward's cold lips touched every part of my face and laughed happily. I haven't seen him like this in a long time. He was so…thrilled with the news. I heard a gasp and saw it came from Alice; her eyes widen and space out. She was having a vision, hopefully of the twins. Soon she got of the trance but looked confused. "Alice, what is it?" I asked her.
"I'm not sure. I saw the same thing –my last vision I had before you returned home." She said to me.
"What was your last vision?" I asked.
"Fire, full moon, and yellow eyes." She explained.
I couldn't believe it.
This can't be happening.
Edward noticed my reaction, "Bella love what's wrong?"
"Um, nothing."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah," I smiled at him but truthfully, I was screaming inside.
Finally, we arrived back at home and told Edward that I wanted pizza and cake but I lied. The twins and I weren't hungry; I only said that so he wouldn't see me getting my sketchbook. I unlocked my drawer, took out my sketchbook, and flipped through the pages. Each page was the same thing for a while: full moon, fire, and yellow eyes. But my drawings weren't finished mostly because I can't remember them and that is what makes me so crazy and mad. I need to remember so I can be preparing for whatever it means.
Whatever the fire means.
I was about to put my sketchbook back in the drawer until I smell something on it. The day after I first turned into a werewolf, my human senses perked up just like any vampire or werewolf. But ever since I got pregnant, my human senses got twice as strong but I couldn't believe I didn't smell this before. But mostly, I couldn't believe who touched it. Swiftly, my bare feet touched the cold floor and walked me downstairs to where everyone was but Edward and Esme.
"Bella, is everything alright?" Carlisle asked me.
"How could you?"
"Excuse me?" He stared at me stunned.
"Do you not know the meaning of the word, privacy? Do any of you know that word?"
"Bella, what's going on?" Edward asked me as he and Esme stepped out of kitchen. "Is everything alright?"
"Don't you dare go near me, Edward Anthony Masen Cullen. I am fuming right now." I said and lifted my sketchbook. "Recognize this?"
His eyes widen at the sight. "Bella –"
"How could you?" I yelled at him. "This is personal to me. This is like –like my diary and you invaded through it. All of you!"
"Bella, we needed to know what was going to happen to you and the twins in the future and Alice's visions were blurry." Edward explained to me.
"How much did you go through this?"
"Bella –"
"How much?"
"When were you going to tell me about you being in a coffin?" Edward asked me.
I couldn't believe it.
How dare they?
"You…you bastard! I can not believe you went through this without my permission."
"It was a choice I made and I'm glad I did because now I know the danger."
"Danger? What danger?"
"I'm going to stop you from…dying."
"Edward, I'm immortal I can not die." I reminded him. "So how much did my sketchbook help you, Carlisle?"
"A cabin…there was a cabin in flames. I figured if both you and Alice keep seeing fire but don't know how it started. I believe that cabin started a fire and…"
I tuned out Carlisle's voice as I tried to remember that dream when I saw the cabin but I couldn't. All I could remember that involve fire was my dream with Rebecca but it still doesn't make sense. What does the fire mean? Is it a sign or a warning? All I know for now is that the two pair of yellow eyes…might be my children.
"Bella?" I gasped when I felt Edward's cold hands touch my face, his eyes pleading. "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong is…why didn't you tell me that you went through my sketchbook?" I asked him.
"I…" I saw that he didn't have an answer but I do.
"The reason I didn't show it to you was because I wasn't sure what I was seeing myself. And I knew how you would've reacted if I showed it to you." I confessed to my husband. "I wasn't ready to show it to you. And now…"
"Now what?" Edward questioned me.
I wiped the fallen tear off my cheek and stared at my husband, hoping he can see my pain. "How can I trust you when you don't trust me?"
