It had been three weeks and I was fit to bursting. You think that I was giving birth to a car or something the way I looked, well according to Paul who was mercifully hit after that comment. We had nearly moved into the house, all except one final box, I was piling the last box with the remains of my bookcase when Charlie came in.
"Hey Dad what's the matter?" I pushed my hair out of my face and rubbed my stomach. He looked slowly around the room and then at me. He smiled.
"Are you really ready to leave?" I sighed. We had had this conversation many times but now I didn't know what to say.
"Dad, I really don't know. It's just that it had hit me that I'm giving birth in three days time and I'll be living with Jacob and I'm scared." I sat on the edge of my bed and Charlie was sat next to me.
"Bella you don't have to be scared. I'll be visiting you so often that you will get sick of me. Even though I haven't fully warmed up to the idea of you living with Jacob although I did kind of push him into it and the fact that it had been a matter of days than months to get used to you being pregnant. But you won't have to do anything alone." I smiled at him and awkwardly put my arms around him as it was hard with the baby's in the way. Then I froze and Charlie could feel it.
"Bella what's the matter?"
"I think my water just broke."

I was running patrol and I was getting pretty tired. I had everyone taking double shifts since Bella had become a month pregnant, which should have been about thirty weeks. I didn't want anything to come anywhere near her. Even the Cullen's stepped in from time to time when we ran ourselves out and needed rest. I was reluctant after all they are a coven of leeches but I couldn't say no after what they have done for me and Bella.
And then it hit me. A smell that can only be described in one word. Bloodsuckers. I howled and I felt Seth wake up and other pack members phasing in.
"What is it Jacob?" Sam asked.
"Vampire trail heading straight through the woods."
"Maybe they are just passing through."Seth's voice was uncertain.
"I'm not taking any chances." I pushed myself even harder to catch up with the leech but I wasn't quick enough. I lost it on a drop off at the cliffs near home just as the pack caught up with me.
"Dammit!" I yelled.
"Don't worry Jacob we'll catch it." Paul spoke.
"I don't like this it is too near home." I lifted up on my haunches and slammed my paws back on the ground. I hadn't realised that Quil and Embry were missing from the group until they phased in and each head was running with thoughts at a hundred miles an hour.
"Woah one at a time!" Sam shouted. Quil and then Embry took turns telling us what was wrong.
"It's Bella- My blood ran cold at her name.
"She- she's- it's coming –they-
"Spit it out Embry!" I shouted and barked.
"Oh god she leaked and they're coming!" Quil said.
"They? Oh no. They? They! The baby's are coming?" I shouted louder now and everyone cringed away from me. I took off towards Charlie's house as I knew that she was still packing from there.
"Jacob what about the vampires?" Jared asked.
"Screw 'em I need to get to Bella." As soon as I saw the house I phased back and ran whilst trying to put shorts on. Not my most graceful moment. I could hear her gasping and screaming in pain already.
"GET JACOB HERE NOW!" I could hear Bella shout. I ran straight into the house and upstairs to her room.
"I'm here honey." I walked to her bedside. She grabbed hold of my hair.
"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN! ACTUALLY DON'T ANSWER THAT I KNOW WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN. OFF WITH YOUR STUPID FRIENDS WHILST I'VE BEEN SAT HERE IN PAIN!" She let go of my hair to have another contraction. Charlie patted my shoulder, I must have looked sorry for myself.
"Don't listen to her Rene was twice as bad she actually attempted to hit me until the doctor calmed her down." Bella glared at him. He chuckled and pushed the wet hair from her face. She swatted his hand away, just as Carlisle came in.
"Thank you for coming to us at such short notice." Charlie stood up but instantly sat down when Bella screamed in pain.
"Well to say you have had so many injuries you sure have a high pain threshold." I mumbled. She glared at me.
"Shut up. You have no idea how this feels like." Carlisle placed a blanket over her legs and checked on the baby's.
"Well Bella it looks to be that you are ready, very quick and simple although it may seem as quite a rush and a lot of pain but don't worry. Now I want you to push." Don't worry? Did this guy realise what he was saying? I held onto Bella's hand whilst she pushed and let's just say it's lucky that I'm a werewolf or my hand would be surely gone.
"I see a head." Carlisle informed us and the tears were welling in my eyes as Carlisle cleaned its mouth with something. "Now just push the shoulders out and we have baby number one. Charlie can you please get blankets and hot water please." Charlie rushed out of the room pale faced and returned instantly with blankets in one hand a bowl of hot water in the other.
"Now push Bella as hard as you can." Bella screamed as loud as she could and then collapsed on the bed. I waited in silence until a tiny squawk came from our first baby.
"Congratulations on your new baby boy." Carlisle held him up and he was beautiful. He had a full head of hair and he was crying his head off and his whole body was wriggling. He handed him to Charlie with instructions to clean him carefully. I looked at Bella and tears trickled down her face. I smiled at her and kissed her, her tears mingling with mine. She fell exhausted on the bed.
"OK Bella there is no time to rest this baby is ready to come out."
"I already had a baby leave me alone." We all chuckled but I gently pulled her to sit up.
"Come on babe you can do this." I squeezed her hand and she started pushing again.
"This baby is coming out fast Bella so only one more push." Was it even possible that she could scream louder than before? I heard the baby instantly this time and I cried on to Bella.
"Would you like to cut the umbilical cord?" I looked up and Carlisle had our baby in one arm and a pair of surgical scissors in the other. I nodded my head and went to cut it. It was like soft and spongy with the texture of rubber. It was weird. I grabbed a Blanket from the side and swaddled our little girl in it who looked exactly like her brother. I took her to Bella and Charlie took our son to her. She held out each arm and embraced them at the same time. We were both still crying. I touched each of their faces and the wriggled as soon as I let my hand drop. Carlisle appeared at the side of the bed.
"If you wouldn't mind I'd like to take the twins and weigh them." We soundlessly nodded and handed them over, almost reluctantly. I looked down at Bella.
"I love you so much." I whispered.
"And I you." We kissed and I knew from then that nothing could break us apart.
