GUESS WHO DECIDED TO POST BECAUSE OF ALL THE GREAT REVIEWS….ME, THAT'S WHO. WE REACHED 700. ALMOST THERE PEOPLE.

A LITTLE STATS THAT BRIGHTENED MY DAY. HITS: 12,378. FAVS:60. ALERTS:67. WAHOOOOOO. LOVES YOU GUYS

ONWARD. ENJOY….

It all belongs to SM.

Grandpa moved the handle around on my stomach, "What do you hear?" He asked.

There was a steady thump of a heartbeat, "Peanut's heart." Jacob shrugged.

"Listen harder." He said.

What the hell is going on? I had just felt my baby move. Let's focus on that shall we?

This doesn't make any sense. Peanut's heart was healthy. So what?

"I can't hear anything." I said, getting annoyed.

"It's there." Jake said in a whisper.

Well, I didn't know what grandpa and Jacob were talking about but I had felt my baby move. He moved inside of me and it was the strangest feeling I had ever experienced yet it felt right. Peanut was trying to communicate with me or at least, that's what I was telling myself. Wasn't that the best part of tonight? Why were Jacob and grandpa acting so weird?

"What is that?" Jacob asked.

Grandpa smiled one of the biggest smiles I had ever seen, "Another baby."

Wait what?

I hadn't even been paying attention to what was going on.

"What did you just say?" I asked and heard Jacob's massive body hit the floor but I wasn't even worried about him anymore.

"Uh…don't you think we should deal with Jacob?" Grandpa said as he peeked around the table.

"Leave him there. What did you just say about another baby?" I replied.

"Uh…listen closely to the heartbeats."

"Heartbeats?"

"Yes, there are two." He smiled again.

"Plural?"

"I don't know how else to say it."

I leaned back against the table and closed my eyes so that I could hear better. There was one strong heartbeat that I could certainly hear because it was so loud but nothing else. As I listened harder, I heard the small pitter-patter of something more. It was a light flutter but it was there and now it was all I could hear.

My eyes opened and I felt the burn of unshed tears as I looked at grandpa, "Is that really another baby?"

"Yes. I think it is. Congratulations."

"I don't believe you." I shook my head.

"It's true and I know you can hear the heartbeats."

He was right. Now that I knew they were there, there were two loud thumps that were filling the room. They were separate yet identical at the same time. One was fainter than the other but they were both still there and I could make them out perfectly. I stared at the screen like I could see something but there was nothing. I prayed that something, anything, would pop up to confirm my dreams. Give me some sort of conformation besides heartbeats. I had to know that this was real.

"Can you…do a blood test or something?" I pleaded.

"I was just about to suggest that but I really don't think we need one."

"I want one. I have to know." I said frantically and held out my arm.

"Are you sure you don't want to handle Jacob first? He looks really sick."

I looked down at my husband who was out cold on the carpeted floor. Literally all the blood from his body was gone and he looked almost as pale as me. I saw his back rising and falling as he breathed deeply so I knew he was alive.

Great. My husband is out cold because we're having twins.

I knew how he felt but I didn't have time to dwell on the 'what ifs'.

"He'll survive. We can kick him awake later. Give me the blood test."

Grandpa nodded and prepared a needle to draw my blood. The needle barely pierced my skin but with a little nudging, grandpa got it through and was able to take a good amount of blood before placing it in a bag.

He left to go down to his lab in the basement and I let my mind wander even though I should have been trying to get Jacob up.

To be honest, I knew what he was feeling. I had just gotten used to the idea of raising Peanut and focusing all of my energy on him. Now there was another bundle of joy that I had to take care of. I was ecstatic of course but could I do this?

Stop thinking that way!

Of course I could do this. What kind of question is that? I was more than capable of being the mother of two perfect children and I was going to have Jacob…well, if he ever woke up.

Poor Jacob.

He was more nervous about having a baby than I was and I knew this must have sent him over the edge. He even wanted to put off buying baby things because he didn't know if this was all real. I had to push him to painting the nursery and even that was a big jump but this, this was a lot for him to take in. I didn't know why he was so worried because I had confidence in us, granted, it was slight confidence but it was still more than he had.

The reason I was so hesitant about all of this was because I was always comparing Jacob and I to mama and daddy. They were pretty much the perfect parents. I didn't turn out perfect of course but that was my own doing, not theirs. Could Jacob and I do as good a job as they did?

Grandpa came back some time later and I didn't even realize that the sun was up until I looked out of the window.

"So…?" I asked.

"You're having two babies. Twins."

I don't know how I did it but I leaped off the table gracefully and fell into his arms while I cried on his shoulder.

How the hell could this be happening to me?

Who cares. It's happening and now Jacob and I were having two babies.

Holy shit.

There were so many emotions running through my body, I didn't even know what was happening. I was of course happy because this was everything I wanted and more. I was going to have two children and I didn't even want to begin to think of how I was going to do that but I didn't care. I was having two babies and that was insane. This was…incredible but also scary.

We just got the fucking nursery painted for God's sake but I knew Jacob and I could raise these children.

"Ho…wh…i…" I sputtered into grandpa's chest.

"It's ok Nessie. You have to calm down." He pulled back so that he could cup my face, "You can't be so worked up. Take deep breathes."

I followed his instructions until I was calm enough to speak properly, "How can this happen? We didn't…" I couldn't even finish my sentence.

"Don't ask questions Nessie. If I have learned anything from these past couple of months, it's that not everything is scientific. A lot of it is but some things, you just have to accept as truth without any kind of proof. Does that make sense?"

I nodded and the tears continued to roll. My hormones were working in full force and I let the tears take over my body until couldn't breathe anymore. I hadn't even met these babies but suddenly, my world revolved around them. They were my entire life and nothing else mattered. I always thought that one baby would make me feel complete but it was nothing to the way I now felt. My heart was literally aching with the extreme amount of love that was filing me up. I couldn't take anymore.

"Would you like to try and wake your husband up now?" Grandpa chuckled as he held me and I could only nod. My mouth didn't even want to work right now.

He lifted me up and set me on the table gently before going to a cabinet and pulling out some smelling salts. I immediately covered my nose so that I didn't have to be tortured by them. Grandpa knelt down next to Jacob and broke a stick before holding it up to Jacob's nose. His face scrunched up but he didn't move.

"Maybe you should just shove it up there." I giggled through my hand.

"That could mess with his olfactory nerves Nessie. We have to gently ease him out of it."

"What the hell is wrong with him anyway?" I asked as grandpa continued to move the stick in front of Jacob's nose.

"People deal with big news in different ways. As I recall, your father went into a living catatonic state for half an hour when he found out that you were born." He chuckled.

"Well that's better than Jake."

"His brain just needs to catch up to everything that's going on."

It took us five more minutes of the horrible smelling salts to finally wake Jake back up. His eyes dragged open and I could see into his soul. It was a weird sight to see because I knew he was awake but he wasn't at the same time. He had an odd haze in his eyes that I couldn't discern but I knew he could hear me.

"Jacob?" I got on the floor next to him as I maneuvered around my bulging belly, "Jake, wake up."

He muttered something but I couldn't tell what it was.

"Jake, come on. This is good news." I shook him but he wouldn't move.

"I don't think I heard it right." He said softly, "Are we having twins?" He asked and I couldn't keep the smile off of my face at the way that sounded.

"Yeah." I nodded, "We're having twins."

I was in Jacob's arms faster than I could blink and he held me in as tight as a hug he could without crushing the babies or me.

Babies. There were two of them.

"I can't believe it." He whispered as he kissed every inch of my face, "Thank you, thank you, thank you."

"Jacob, calm down. I can't breathe." I laughed.

I hadn't even noticed that grandpa had left until I looked around the study and saw that we were alone. Just him, our two babies and me.

"I don't understand. How the hell is that possible?" He asked in disbelief and ran his hand over my stomach.

"Don't ask questions Jacob. Just accept it." I put my hand over his mouth so that he couldn't continue rambling. He nodded and I removed my hand, "This is happening."

"I can't believe it."

"I know. This is so amazing." I climbed into his lap and kissed him deeply as he continued to rub circles on my stomach.

"We're having twins." He said again.

"I know. Are you scared?"

I watched as the joy and excitement passed over his face, turning into panic.

Here we go.

He got off the floor and began pacing, running his hand through his hair just like Edward Cullen.

They've been spending way too much time together.

I sat back and rested on the wall because there wasn't anything you could do while Jacob was in this mode. You had to let him work everything out for himself because that was the only way he would be able to come to terms with what was going on. Jacob was a logical man and I found out as he got older, he became more of a thinking man. Maybe it came from being the leader of a pack or the owner of a business, but Jacob always had to have things planned out or else he would start to get antsy.

I could hear him muttering things like 'two babies is too much' and 'how the hell can I be a father to two children'. No matter how scared we both were or terrified this made us, it was happening and I was happy about it. This was the best thing I could think to ever happen to me and I didn't know what I did to deserve this but I didn't care. I was going to go by grandpa's motto and stop questioning things.

Jacob continued to pace as he grumbled things that I didn't want to hear right now. His insecurities were making me feel bad and as much as I tried to hold the tears back, I couldn't. These were tears of sadness instead of the happy ones I had been crying.

Did Jacob not want this? Did he only want one baby? Why didn't he want this?

I hung my head and continued to cry silently while he kept moving.

"Ness? What's wrong? Are you hurt?" Jacob got on the floor next to me and tried to touch my face but I hit his hand away.

"Why aren't you happy?" I asked.

"What do you mean?"

"You aren't happy like I am. Do you want twins?" I sounded pathetic but there was nothing I could do about it.

"Oh God Nessie, of course I do. I'm just terrified out of my mind."

"Why? This is a good thing right?"

"Of course but I don't even know how to be a father to one child let alone two."

I understood exactly what he was saying but we had time to worry about that later.

"Can't we just be happy right now? We got the best Christmas gift I could think of and you're worried about things we have time to deal with?" I asked softly.

"I know and I'm sorry. You're right." He pulled me into a hug, "I love all three of you with my heart and I'm so happy. Really."

We stayed that way for another hour until my stomach growled so loudly, I thought there was a bear in the room.

"I guess I'm eating for three now. Can you blame me?" I asked sheepishly.

"No, I can't. No wonder you've been eating so much."

"What do you mean?" I got defensive.

"Calm down mama bear. I was just comparing you to Rachel. She barely eats half as much as you do…" He shrugged.

"That's true. Oh my God. We have to tell everyone. What do you think they'll say?"

"I doubt anyone will be any less happier than we are."

"Can this family take another baby?" I laughed.

"At least now, we can split them up and Emmett won't have to fight with anyone to get a turn to hold them."

"I don't think I want Emmett holding any of my children. He's too big."

"He did a good job with you."

"True but I still want to wait until they're at least thirty before he touches either one of them."

"Thirty Nessie? Really?"

"Yes and they can't date until we're dead." I pointed at him.

"We will never die Ness."

"Exactly." I grinned.

"Let's go get you some food."

We went downstairs and luckily, it looked like no one knew what was going on besides daddy and grandpa. I wanted to keep it that way until I fully wrapped my mind around this. Unfortunately, I wasn't as lucky as I would have hoped.

"How's it hanging?" Emmett asked as Jacob and I began making some sandwiches.

"Everything's…fine." I shrugged trying to keep the huge smile off of my face but it wasn't working.

"Really? Anything you want to tell me?" He said with an all-knowing smirk.

"No. Go away." Jacob snapped.

"This is my house dog. You go away."

"Can't I just eat my meal in peace." I sighed.

"No. Tell me what's going on."

"What makes you think anything's going on?" I asked.

"Because I can sense it. I have a gossip meter and it's going crazy."

"I don't like the sound of that." Jacob laughed as he set both of our plates down at the table.

"How's my great nephew doing?" Emmett got on the floor so he could talk to my stomach.

They're doing fine.

"Peanut's great." I replied.

"Shit, fuck, whore…" Emmett started to mutter but I hit his head against the table before he could continue.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked fiercely, "You can't curse at my child."

Good job Nessie. Keep it singular.

"I want him to be bad. He can't hang with the rest of us unless he comes out cursing like sailor." He said indifferently.

"I don't care. He's going to be a good kid." Jacob pointed at Emmett, "You've got to stop that."

"Fine." He got off the floor and began moving towards the family room but turned around, "I know about your little secret." He whispered.

I chocked on the piece of sandwich that had just taken a bite out of and tried to catch my breath.

"What the fuck is wrong with you Emmett?" Jacob sneered.

"Who has the bad mouth now?" He teased back.

"What secret?" I sputtered through my harsh breathing.

"I know you're secret. I heard you coming in early this morning and I knew it was serious so I scaled the wall up to dad's office." Emmett said like it was a normal thing to do.

"You are so nosy." I rolled my eyes. I should have been madder but I wasn't.

"It's good news. Why aren't you telling anyone about the…" I tried to shush him before the word came out but I wasn't fast enough, "…twins."

In the blink of an eye, the kitchen was filled with the rest of my family and mama was so close to my face, I could stick my tongue out to lick her if I wanted to.

"What twins?" Mama squinted, "Are you keeping things from me Renesmee Carlie Cullen? What are you keeping from me? What twins? Why aren't you answering me? Are you lying?"

"No." I said too quickly.

"Liar. Are you having twins?" Rose asked from the corner.

I tried to keep the corners of my mouth from lifting up but that was a lost cause.

Mama bust into non-existent tears and had me in a bone-crushing hug.

"Whoa Bella. Let up." Jacob pried mama off of me. She jumped at him next and I actually heard a rib break, "Geez Bella." Jacob whimpered.

"Shut up. I have grand babies? Two of them?" She cried and Jacob nodded.

"Oh my goodness. This is amazing." Grandma was crying too and then Alice and then Rose and then...Emmett?

Everyone pulled me into hugs and Jacob made sure that they kept them soft. He was still nursing his rib but I knew it would be healed soon.

"This is incredible." Jasper punched the air, "Two more kids to fight with."

He was already making plans to have Munchkin and Peanut training for the goddamn Olympics and I was sure that he had this new baby in mind as well.

"No, one is touching my babies." I said seriously.

"Come on Ness. We taught you football and baseball. We have to do the same with these babies." Emmett whined.

"Isn't that my job?" Jacob asked.

"No, your job is to pay for everything." Rose said.

"Of course." He rolled his eyes.

"I want another baby Edward." Mama hung on him as she continued to cry.

"That's never going to happen love." He chuckled.

"It could. It happened for Nessie." She replied.

"If anyone's having a baby next, it's me." Rose said sternly.

"Fine but I'm after her."

"Neither one of you is having a baby. This family doesn't need anymore freaks of nature." Alice giggled.

"I am not a freak." I growled.

"Yeah you are short stuff." Jasper ruffled my hair and I bit his hand.

"Shit Ness. What the hell is wrong with you?" He hissed.

"Don't mess with the pregnant woman." Jacob laughed.

Jacob and I spent the whole day at the house and invited the wolves over so that we could tell them. There was a weird calm that fell over the pack as we told them the revelation about the twins. Rachel was the first to break the silence with a squeal that almost shattered the windows. I was in a tight hug and once again, Jacob had to pry her off of me. Even for a human, she was strong. I think it had something to do with the pregnancy hormones.

Seth was the next to voice his happiness and spun me around in a large circle. He should have known that was a bad idea because I was in the bathroom throwing up for the next five minutes after that. Jacob yelled at him for the rest of the day while everyone else gave me their congratulations. Andrea and Embry had me into hugs next and I cried while they told me how happy they were for me.

The rest of the wolves gave me some form of congratulations before moving onto Jake who got the real love. I swear it was like he was the one who was going to have to give birth. They dotted on him like he was Jesus and I knew it had something to do with prolonging the heritage lines or something like that but it was too confusing for me so I sat back down while Esme made me some food.

Billy was actually crying when we told him and I swear I saw the heavens open up. Billy never cried. At least , I had never seen him cry and we'd been through some pretty rough shit together but still, he never shed a tear until now. It wasn't like he was balling like I was but there were still tears in his eyes and he was at a loss for words for awhile. Grandpa Charlie teased him until mama made him stop. Sue was already with Alice and Rose planning my baby shower, which I had totally forgot about. I didn't even think that one was necessary but they insisted especially now that I was having two babies.

I had this weird taste of mustard in my mouth and the only way I could see to quell that taste was to have more mustard. So I spent the rest of the night eating anything that went with mustard and some things that didn't. I tried to hide the ice cream and mustard concoction that I had created but Emmett wouldn't let me have my peace.

I finally convinced Jacob to take me how after I was too tired to stand correctly and he happily obliged. This had been a long day for everyone and I needed my rest. Jacob was practically beaming the entire drive home and I could actually see the gears in his head working as he pictured our new life together. Everything had changed in a matter of seconds and I wouldn't have had it any other way.

Jacob and I laid in bed that night. He had his hand instinctively resting on my stomach and my head was on his chest; my favorite pillow.

"Have they been kicking again?" He asked.

"No. Nothing past this morning." I replied.

"Has it sunk in yet?"

"I don't think it ever will. None of this was supposed to be possible for me, for us but look at us now." I smiled up at him.

"I know. It's incredible. I never thought I'd be the father of two kids."

I bit my bottom lip, "Are you nervous?"

"Of course but Edward told me he was just as scared when you came so I don't feel so bad."

"Why?"

"Your dad is the strongest man I know and if a little baby can scare him to death then I shouldn't expect anything different. I know that sounds weird but it makes me feel better that he got scared." His chest vibrated with laughter.

"I know what you mean. I felt the same way when mama told me she was scared too." I let out a deep breath, "Are we ready?"

"For?"

"For this. Everything that comes with having not one child but two."

He turned my head gently so that he was looking dead into my eyes, "Nessie listen to me, I don't care what the hell is about to happen but all I know is that I love all three of you with my entire life. I haven't even met my children yet but they have this hold on me that can't ever be broken. Of course we're scared but we're ready. It's not going to be easy but we have the support of our family and we'll make sure that these two are loved to the max." He said seriously.

"Wow, that was quite a speech Mr. Black." I said breathlessly as I tried to comprehend all his words.

"They were all true Mrs. Black." He gave me a chaste kiss that was still very powerful.

"Peanut Black and…" I tried to think, "We have to give this new baby a temporary name. I don't like 'it'."

Jacob moved so that he could speak to my stomach. He lifted up my shirt and I ran my hands through his hair as he kissed my swollen abdomen.

"What do you want to be called new baby?" Jacob asked.

He kissed my stomach again and this time, I felt a nudge. Jacob's head went back in shock. It looked like he had seen a ghost.

"Holy shit. He kicked me." Jacob said as he rubbed his lips.

"It's the best feeling in the world." I laid back into the massive mountains of pillows behind my head.

"What am I supposed to do?" Jacob asked, still a little stunned by what had just happened.

"What do you mean?"

"Do…do I keep talking to them?"

"I guess so." I laughed.

Jacob leaned back in hesitantly and kissed my stomach lightly before pulling back.

Nothing.

"Try talking to them." I suggested.

Jacob whispered at my abdomen, "Babies? Can you hear me?"

Stunningly, there was another small nudge and I felt the tears sting my eyes. Jacob was laughing and yelling his praise and he rubbed circles on my stomach. They responded to his voice. I felt an odd twinge of jealousy rip through my body. Why didn't they respond to me that way when I asked?

Clam down Nessie.

They only started kicking today. Who wouldn't love Jacob?

"I cracked the code. They like daddy's voice." Jacob said after we both calmed down, "Of course they do."

"I can't believe they know you." I wiped the tears from my cheeks, "This is too amazing."

"What should I tell them?"

"First, why don't we see what name the new baby wants?"

"Do you have any feeling on the gender?"

"I haven't even thought about that." I said truthfully.

"Let's just go with another boy since they're identical twins. It's most likely a boy."

"That's not true."

"That's what the book says."

"Right and I would agree with you if we knew the sex of Peanut but we took a guess on him. For all we know, they could both be girls. Or one of each."

Jacob's eyes lit up as he considered the possibility of having one child of each gender.

"Ok so for now, we'll have one boy and one girl." Jacob nodded.

"I like the sound of that."

"Right. So we have Peanut and what else…? What do you like new baby? Nudger? Peanut No. 2?"

"I don't think so."

"Cashew? Almond? Walnut?" He laughed.

"Let's get off the food Jacob." I rolled my eyes. He was making me hungry again.

Jacob thought for a while and rested his head on my stomach, "Well…" He started then stopped.

"Well?" I prompted.

"On those home videos that Billy has, my mom used to call Rachel Monkey. Or she used to call Rebecca Monkey. Whatever one." He whispered.

There was a light but pronounced hit in my stomach. Jacob lifted his head as he felt the nudge.

"He likes it." I said.

"I like it too." He said and crawled back up the bed to meet me.

"Monkey and Peanut."

Our lives had changed in a matter of seconds and I wouldn't have had it any other way.
