Edward's Temptation 24
(BPOV)
"We have a problem" Edward said quietly and passed Olivia to Rose. Just as he said that I felt this sharp pain in my stomach and I screamed. I felt as if I was being ripped apart from the inside out. The pain was shooting through me so much that I felt myself collapse before I even got fully into the living room. I was picked up quickly off the ground before I hurt myself by someone and carried somewhere before I fully passed out.
I don't know anything else because I blacked out. I was going to die and there was nothing that could save me.
(APOV)
Edward and Bella had just finally come home and was entering the house when Bella screamed and passed out. My dead heart sank to the bottom of my stomach when I realized Bella was now being carried by Edward. He took her up to their room followed closely by Jasper and Carlisle. I decided to follow as well, while Rosalie and Esme stayed downstairs with a sleeping Olivia.
Bella was lying upon their bed where Edward had placed her so I went over to the head of the bed and sat down beside her. Reaching out my hand I grabbed one of hers and held it trying not only to help her, but to also calm me down. Edward looked at me out of the corner of his eyes as he helped Carlisle gather some supplies. I have never felt as helpless as I was feeling right at this moment. I couldn't see Bella at all in any of my visions. I kept on holding her hand trying to let her know just how much she meant to this family, our family.
"Edward!" Jasper called out.
"What!" he questioned.
"I think she's stable enough for you guys to start. She is sleeping very peacefully" Jasper said as I felt a wave of sleepiness come over me. They were trying to keep her safe before starting anything. Within seconds Carlisle was at Bella's side with a needle in his hand. He carefully placed it into her arm and emptied its contents into her.
"Alice it was only a mild sedative. She needs to be unconscious for what we are going to do" Carlisle whispered knowing I was blind right at this moment. I watched carefully as father and son worked to get her back safely. Edward though whispered something to Carlisle that I didn't catch but watched as Jasper took his leave to only be replaced by Rosalie.
Edward took a surgical knife and started to cut a small opening across Bella's stomach. He was going to perform a C-section right now on Bella, which meant she was pregnant. It was different watching Edward and Carlisle working together as Doctors, but they did finally pull a small little child from Bella. It was strange to see this little being brought into our world like that. My thoughts were cut off by Carlisle.
"Rosalie, Come here and clean the child up" Carlisle called out to Rosalie who had been waiting. She quickly moved to him and gently took the child from him and started cleaning it up at the makeshift baby center they had set up. Carlisle was busy checking Bella's vitals when Edward suddenly brought forth another little baby from within Bella. Carlisle quietly took this child over to Rosalie and whispered to Edward something very I couldn't hear.
I watched in awe as Edward silently stitched Bella back up and cleaned her up as best as he could. I couldn't believe I was an aunt to two little babies and Bella was the mom.
"Alice!" Edward called to me.
"Yes, I'll clean and change her" I said while he looked over to me knowing. I gently lifted Bella up and set off for the bathroom to get her cleaned up. Looking back to the running around behind me I was glad I got the easiest job. Rosalie and Carlisle were busy with the twins while Edward was stripping the bed and Esme had started making the bed. It was really a team effort and I was glad I was a part of it.

I couldn't catch my breath it seemed impossible to do so. I had just helped my father deliver my children from my beautiful wife. I was finally a father even though I was one already to Olivia, but I now I had my own little children of my flesh and body you could say. Sure I'm not totally sure about what they'll be but they were created out of love and will be loved no matter what.
It has been a few days since my father had to sedate my Bella, but it was necessary for the childbirth. I think when she wakes up she'll agree that the experience was all worth it just to have these two little angels with us. I couldn't believe just how attached I had become to them in the last three days of having them. The family was getting a little frustrated with me because I wouldn't let any of them handle them. Once Carlisle and Rosalie gave them their check up I sent them all out of the room. Only other person hanging out with me was Olivia who didn't want to leave.
I had the four most important people in my life with me that I cared deeply and sincerely for besides my family who were trying hard to get me out of the room. I could hear Bella's breathing becoming more regular as she breathed in and out. It wouldn't be too long until she woke up and finally saw our little blessings. Once Bella sees these little babies she'll fall in love with them just like I have.
Twins a son and daughter what more could a father want. Our son was so handsome wit deep chocolate brown eyes like his mother; his hair was brown with my bronze tints. I love that he has my smile the one Bella loves so much, but the rest of his features seem to be that of his mom. Our daughter has my emerald green eyes like mine use to look like when I was human. Although when Charlie touches me I get them but not as rich and deep like our little girls. She has the most beautiful curly brown hair like her mom with the rich red tints to it. To me they are both so special and precious to us. Olivia even loves the babies.
It's been three longs days since they were born and my Bella went to sleep. Three days is the amount of time it takes for the transformation to be complete for a vampire, but my Bella wasn't changing. Three days since my world was changed. A lot can happen in three days. What will happen when Bella finally opens her eyes?
(BPOV)
The pain that had taken me under has finally died down. I felt like I was on fire that first instant after we came home. Something was burning me from the inside and boy I will not lie it hurt like hell. My head felt heavy and it was throbbing badly. There weren't any voices floating around the room so either everyone was out or they were being very quiet. So I wasn't really sure if I was dead or alive, hopefully not dead yet. Upon opening my eyes two little golden eyes were staring back at me just inches from my face. It could be only one person who would wait impatiently for me, Alice Cullen.
"I was beginning to worry about you" she whispered as she helped me up. I took in my surroundings and realized I was in Edward and my room. I saw the most beautiful sight I could ever imagine lying on our couch. Edward was lying down holding a little child in his arms while Olivia played with the baby. There was also a bassinet beside Edward which had another little baby in it.
"Are they mine?" I questioned. Alice just nodded her head and helped me over to the couch. I carefully sat down and peered into the bassinet to see a little girl fast asleep with beautiful curly hair and the same pale skin that her father has. Looking over to Edward he held a small little boy with his same messy bronze hair. Olivia took notice of me and reached her hand toward me. I grabbed her little hand and helped her over to me.
"I missed you mommy" she whispered into my ear as she held onto me. I had to admit I missed her too.
"Alice!" Edward said opening his eyes.
"She was waking up. I just helped her out a little" Alice said brushing his angry glaring off.
"I missed you, love" he whispered as he pulled me close to him.
"I missed you too" I admitted as he kissed me softly on the lips.
"Come on! Edward has held the babies ransom up here. He wouldn't let any of us hold them until you woke up. Everyone is anxious and excited to finally see the little darlings" Alice said while bouncing out of the room holding onto Olivia. I don't think I would ever get use to that darn pixie.
Edward handed me the little boy that he was holding while he reached down and picked up the little girl. I knew that I was out for three days which meant the babies were suppose to be three days old, but they looked to be a couple of months old. I couldn't take my eyes away from my little son, he was so cute just like his daddy.
"We should head down. Alice to contemplating on whether she should barge back in here to make us move faster or if they should storm us" he said smiling toward me.
"Do you think they'll like them" I questioned.
"They've been waiting three days to get their hands on them" he said trying to sound reassuring. We both held onto the little babies as we made our way down to meet the family.
"It's about time" Emmett stated loudly.
"Come and sit with us" Esme replied as she came to stand behind us. It made me thing she was only doing it to keep us from running away from them. Edward steered me to the long sofa where my dad was already seated. I sat between Charlie and Edward.
"So Edward hasn't told us much about the visit that happened three days ago" Rosalie starts.
"Well the visit was to get Olivia checked out and for Bella" Edward answers.
"Because she was moody and grumpy" Jasper says.
"Yes that and because she didn't seem herself" Edward says as he hands our daughter over to Esme.
"What did Dr. Madison say?" questioned Carlisle.
"Well he at first told us that Olivia would be grown up by her second birthday, but that was incorrect. Olivia showed me the future while I was waiting for Bella to wake up. Children born to vampires and humans are rare and usually end the mothers' life. These children mature quickly by their seventh birthday are adults. They will be frozen in time like their father at the same age. Only men can get human females pregnant not the other way around" Edward said as he paused to let his finding sink into the others minds as he then took my hand. I still held our son.
"So Olivia and the twins will be grown ups when they turn seven" Alice questioned. He just nodded to confirm to her.
"Well that will give us plenty of time to enjoy them" Rosalie quietly says as she is handed our daughter by Esme. I decided I would pass my son to my dad who was very eager to hold his grandson.
"I know it's soon but what do you think you'll name them" Charlie asks as he looks proudly to me.
"Daddy called them Thing 1 and Thing 2, while mommy was sleeping" Olivia blurts out getting Edward to reach for her to tickle her. Everyone was laughing at the sudden closeness of everyone and how well we blend as a family.
"Edward!" Esme scolded.
"I wasn't sure what Bella would want to name them and I wasn't going to name them. Thing 1 and Thing 2 seemed good for the time" he replied settling back beside me holding Olivia close to him.
"I think I have the perfect names" I whisper. Everyone turns to look at me.
"Oh they'll be good" Alice chirps up.
"Our daughter will be Elizabeth Renesmee Cullen and our son will be Anthony Carlie Cullen" I say out loud.
"Why those names?" Edward questions.
"Elizabeth after your mom, Renesmee using my mom Renee and Esme together. Anthony from your middle name, Carlie using Carlisle and Charlie together. I wanted to put their grandparents somewhere in their names" I say looking down at my hands.
"I think those are lovely names, Bella" Jasper says. I look up to him and he now has my little Elizabeth.
"I think that it is nice how you named them after me" Edward finally says as he pulls me into a hug. I was glad he liked their names because if it weren't for him they wouldn't be here. I looked on as our family talked and passed the little babies around. Lurking in the back of my mind was the possible threat of the Volturi coming and ripping our family apart. I tried to push it further back in my mind as I watched how happy we all were.
