So far, twenty-five reviews. Good enough for me! Well, I didn't want to leave you guys hanging so I decided to update tonight. But it will most likely be the last update for those two weeks. Enjoy!

Chapter 21

BPOV

Edward whipped around and moved so fast Victoria didn't even realize what was happening. Edward had picked up the pot again and smacked Victoria on the head like James before she could even react. He had kicked the gun away from them, don't want to ruin any fingerprints. Edward took out his cell phone and immediately called 911 and all this time I was standing frozen in the same spot.

I have had so many horrible life experiences. First, James beating me. Second, Lauren coming after me. Then this. James trying to kill me. Was there no hope? Was my life always going to be in danger? My tears started up again and I just cried. I sunk to the floor, getting into the fetal position, and just started rocking, not seeing anything.

"Bella? Bella?" Edward's voice was next to me but I just stared, unseeing. I heard sirens in the distance and feet pounding on the stairs. "Are you hurt? Are you okay?" Edward asked.

The police burst threw the door just then. Victoria and James were still knocked out.

EPOV (1 Week Later)

"Did you see any injuries on Isabella Swan?" the prosecution lawyer asked. I was at the trial for James beating Bella. After this trial there was going to be another one with Victoria for attempted murder and then the trail for Lauren.

"All the time." I said into the microphone.

"Could you tell us some of those injuries?"

"Well, a lot of bruises on the visual parts of her body. She always had bruises on her face and she wore sweatshirts to hid the bruises on her arms."

"How else did she hide all of those bruises?"

"Wore pants and sweatshirts. She also wore her hair down and tried to keep it around her face to hid the ones on her face."

"Did you ever see James strike Bella?"

"No."

"Is it true that he was cheating on her with Victoria Red?"

"Yes,"

"Do you have evidence of that?"

"Bella caught them kissing. After that she finally broke it off and we became good friends."

"Is it true that you and Bella Swan are in a relationship and she is currently pregnant with your child?"

"Objection!" James' lawyer called out.

"Overruled." the Judge said.

"Yes." I responded. I looked at James to see his expression. There was shock all over it.

"That is all I need, thank you." the lawyer said and I left the stand. Emmett went up next and was asked the same questions.

Finally after a couple hours I went back home where Esme and Carlisle were staying with Bella. Bella is about 3 months along and is showing a little.

"Bella? Are you ready to go get your ultrasound?" I called into the apartment.

"Coming." her beautiful voice sounded from our bedroom. She came out and got on her jacket and shoes. "Ready."

"Where's is Esme and Carlisle?"

"In the kitchen. They said they should get supper ready by the time we get back." she said.

I put my hand on the small of her back and guided her down the stairs and into the car. We drove to the hospital to see Dr. White. We waited to get called and when we were called Dr. White led us a room with an ultrasound. I helped Bella onto the bed.

"The gel will be a little cold." Dr. White said pulling Bella's shirt up to show her stomach. Dr. White squirted some of the gel on her stomach and put the thing (lol, don't know what its called) on the gel and spread it around a little. Bella and I looked at the ultra sound to try and see the babies.

"Well, it looks like you guys are the lucky parents of twins." Dr. White said.

"What?" Bella and I asked at the same time, shocked.

"That's why you are showing a little bit earlier than normal." she said and smiled at us. She pointed out the babies to us and printed off a picture to show all of our friends.

We were done in no time.

BPOV

"Esme!" I called into the apartment then I smelt something rancid. God, that pizza they made smelled horrible. "What's that smell?"

"Pizza, dear," Esme said coming out of the kitchen with Rose and Alice trailing behind her.

"It smells horrible." I said wrinkling my nose. Edward laughed behind me and I glared at him. "Well, it does."

"Your pregnant Bella. Your senses get better. Must be the grease, sorry. Do you want us to throw it out?"

"No, no. No point in wasting money." I sighed.

"We have good news." Edward said, pulling me into the kitchen where Emmett and Jasper where at with Carlisle. "Who invited everyone over?"

"I did." Carlisle said, "thought you wouldn't mind having some more company. Have a little get together with your friends and family."

I smiled, "I haven't seen everyone in a long time."

"What's your good news?" Emmett said irritated.

"I'm having twins!" I gushed and Rose and Alice screeched and ran to hug me. They squeezed me tight (not too tight) and screeched some more. Esme gave me a hug after they had finally let me go.

"Congrats!" Jasper and Emmett said.

I showed them the pictures and they all oohed and awed.

"Well, I guess we can eat now that we are back." Edward said holding a chair out for me. I sat in it and grabbed a piece of the pizza. I smelt it and was immediately repulsed. "Do you want something else?" Edward asked me.

"I'll get it." I said.

-----

"God, why can't you just tell me what happened?" I screeched at Edward.

"Because I don't want to upset you." Edward pleaded.

"I'm already upset!" I screamed at him. Everyone had left and I asked Edward what happened but he wouldn't tell me. It wasn't helping that I kept having mood swings and I was very irritable.

"More upset." he corrected.

I glared at him, "God, Edward, you are so protective it drives me crazy!" I said throwing up my hands. "I can take care of myself."

"I just want what's best for you."

"UGH!" I screeched and slammed our bedroom door right in his face before locking it.

"Bella, please, open up. I'm sorry." he said and knocked on the door.

"Go away!" I said and plopped onto the bed. A few minutes later I was under the covers and crying. I laid there, my tears soaking my pillow. I heard the door open and I squeezed my eyes shut. The door shut closed and I felt Edward slid into the covers next to me. He gathered me in his arms and started humming my lullaby.

"I'm sorry, love." he said into my hair.

I sniffled. "No, it was all my fault. Those kids in my stomach are making me crazy."

"But I should have just told you. I am an overprotective fool."

"I love you, Edward." I said snuggling into his chest.

"You are my life now." he said simply before putting his finger under my chin and moving my face so I was looking into his eyes. He smiled at me before pulling me into a sweet kiss.

I giggled, "how did you get into the room?" I asked.

"I cut a steel hanger and used that to unlock the door." He said before kissing me again.

Well, kind of a filler but hey you know what happens! I think I'm ready for bed, I don't really stay up late. It's 10:49. TWINS! Yea! No, you will not find out the gender until they are born which I have no idea when that is going to happen. Goodness, this story is hectic, isn't it? Please review!
