A/N: Whew, it's been a while, sorry about that. With school and everything, I've been way too tired to do much of anything these days. BUT I did promise myself I would finish this and soon so…

Anyway, this is where we find out the sex of the baby…YAY!

Disclaimer: I'm still not Stephanie Meyer…DARN IT!

"BELLA!!" Alice squealed, shaking me from my peaceful sleep. I opened my eyes and found her grinning brightly and bouncing up and down with excitement. I glared at her

"What," I snapped. She pretended to look hurt.

"I just wanted to wake you up to tell you we're going to be late," she whined.

"Alright, I'm awake," I said, sitting up slowly, she grinned again and bounced off.

"I tried to stop her, love, but she was too persistent," Edward said, kissing my temple lightly. I sighed heavily and trudged to the bathroom.

The week or so following Christmas was pretty boring, nothing had really happened. Today was going to be different though, today was January 4th and Edward, Alice, and I were going to see Dr. Alling to find out the sex of my baby. Alice already knew the verdict, but wouldn't tell me know matter how much I begged and pleaded. Stupid pixie.

I got ready quickly, besides the fact that Alice was rushing me; I wanted to get to the office as fast as I could. I felt butterflies in the pit of my stomach the entire time.

"Ready," Edward asked as I reached the bottom of the stairs.

"Absolutely," I said confidently, grinning.

"C'mon, let's go!" Alice all but screamed, bouncing out the door and to the Volvo. I laughed softly and followed her.

As usual, the doctors' office was empty accept for the bored looking receptionist and Doctor Alling, who I hadn't seen yet. Alice skipped over to the desk and signed me in.

"She's starting to scare me," I whispered to Edward as we sat down.

"Starting to?" He raised an eyebrow and smirked. Alice, who of course heard that, shot a glare in his direction.

We were silent for a few minutes, Alice came to join us shortly after. We had been waiting for a short while and I felt myself begin to feel antsy. I didn't notice my leg was bouncing up and down until Edward put his hand on my thigh to stop it.

"Sorry," I muttered, blushing a little. Before he had a chance to say anything else, the door to the office opened, and a woman walked out. Doctor Alling appeared at the door seconds later, beckoning for us to come into the office.

We greeted each other good morning as I walked toward the bed and laid down.

"Let's see how little baby is doing, shall we?" Doctor Alling asked, sitting down on his stool, "Would you like to know the sex?"

"Yes," Edward and I said at the same time. Doctor Alling nodded and began the ultrasound. He did say anything for a couple minutes—very long minutes—but then he smiled brightly and turned to face me.

"Congratulations, Bella, you're having twins!"

I thought I was going to have a heart attack right then and there.

"Um, I'm sorry, did you say what I think you said," I asked in shock. I looked over at Alice who was bouncing up and down, a grin on her face and I knew that Dr. Alling was telling the truth.

"You heard me exactly right, Bella," Dr. Alling said, grinning as well, "You're having a little boy and a little girl."

And, once again, I was in tears as he handed me the picture.

"Thank you," I whispered, taking the picture and staring at it for a while.

"Well," Doctor Alling said, breaking my silence, "everything looks perfect, keep doing what you're doing and you should have a wonderful delivery!" Edward led me over to the door, "I shall see you February 1st." He concluded, waving to us as we left.

"Bella, love, are you alright," Edward asked as he pulled out of the parking lot. I nodded slightly.

"Yeah, just…shocked," I replied, staring at the picture once more, "twins," I whispered, outlining the babies with my finger and then rubbing my belly. Edward took my hand in his and looked down at me. He was smiling. I smiled back.

I was so beyond shocked right now. I mean, I knew this baby was a blessing to me, it was the only thing to come out of my disastrous marriage, but now I was blessed with not one but two babies. I truly am lucky, and this just proves it.

"Bella! I'm so happy for you! I'm so glad I don't have to keep it a secret anymore," Alice squealed, hugging me from the back seat.

Apparently she couldn't keep her excitement in any longer.

"How long have you know?" She let go and looked out the window, a little guilty.

"Oh…just about a month or so," she admitted. That didn't bother me as much as I thought it would. I was glad she kept it a secret for so long now that I knew.

"Alice and I are going to go hunting for a while," Edward told me as he pulled into the driveway, "We'll be back in a while and then we can break the news to the family." I nodded.

"Alright, I've got to go to the store for a few things anyway," I said, "I'll miss you," I told him, kissing him softly.

"I'll miss you too, love." I got out of the car slowly and walked toward my truck. I drove quickly to the grocery store; I didn't really want to be there long. As I drove, my thoughts overwhelmed me.

Would everyone be happy for me? Would I be able to handle two children? What exactly did Edward think? Would I be able to handle it if one of the children looked like Matt?

I shook my head as I pulled into the parking lot of Wal-Mart to get rid of the questions.

Everything will be just fine, I told myself over and over again. That seemed to calm me down.

Unknown POV

My wife sent me shopping, again. As I stood in an aisle trying to figure out what she told me to get, I heard a woman talk to herself.

"Let's see, I need milk, bread, Oreos, and orange juice," the woman said. I recognized the voice, my head snapped and searched for the owner. I found her, smiling, as she pushed her cart past the aisle I was in.

I followed her.

I was appalled to see how happy she was. She was…glowing. UGH!

I don't know how many times I was told to make sure she was never happy, and even though I wasn't being told that anymore, I would make sure that I still did. I felt that I owed him that much, seeing where he was now.

"Well, well, well, look who it is," I called to her.

She froze.

Bella POV

That sounded like…no…it couldn't be. What would he be doing here? Following me?

I really hope Alice sees this before something bad happens.

I slowly turned around and gasped when I saw him standing there, smiling smugly. I took a deep breath and addressed him.

"Jonathan, w-what are you doing here?" I asked.

"Just thought I would say hello to my best friend's ex-wife," he sneered before I felt the impact of his palm against my cheek.

A/N: I felt like I needed to shake things up a bit…:-)

No preview, sorry.
