Nessie's point of view

March 10...

I ran as fast as I could. I had to get to them. The need me! I can't let them down!

Run. Run. Run.

I heard Jacob pushing faster to catch up to me but I was too far gone. The faster he went, the faster my panic rose. I wasn't going to slow down just to let him catch up when Sage and Grace needed me.

I reached our meadow expecting something completely different than what I was seeing. My son and daughter running in the grassy field playing. They were giggling, laughing, smiling.

They both had Jacob's silky, black hair. While Grace's hair fell in soft waves, Sage's was curly like mine. They were several shades lighter than Jacob's russet skin. They were tan but had an alabaster cream tint to them. I could see both their father and I in the looks. Sharp but beautiful. They seemed to make everything just…glow. Just my luck, neither had my eyes. My heart even melted when I saw their eyes. Sage had Jacob's melting, dark, brown eyes that you could just swim in while Grace a had dark cinnamon brown. It was strange but beautiful at the same time.

They both wore white. Grace had a cute white sundress that flowed with every movement she made while Sage wore a while polo with khaki shorts. They looked around the age of five but had so much maturity to them as well.

The ran around chasing each other and giggling when they noticed up. The looked up at us with excited face and smiled brightly.

"Come play with us, mommy!' Grace exclaimed.

"I told you there was nothing to worry. Their just determined like you." Jake thought, nudging my arm with his big, russet head. I laughed.

"Come on! Come on! We're playing tag and I'm it!" Sage said. Gosh, they were so cute.

Jacob and I made our way to our son and daughter, marveling at how were so lucky to have them. They ran over to us and we met halfway. I reached out to touch my angels but something stopped me. It was like a barrier of something. I kept trying to get to them but kept failing. Jacob appeared beside me human and did the same thing. His luck ended just the same as mine did. We started to panic. This was not normal.

As much as we tried to keep the twins calm-along with ourselves-they picked up on our panic. They started banging on the shield and screaming. I felt their fear which didn't help our case one bit.

"Mommy! Daddy!" they would call as we bagged on the barrier that separated us.

"Jake!" I begged, hoping my safety blanket would do something. Even though I was their mother and I felt invisible to protect them, I've never felt so useless. And looking at Jacob now all my hope was gone when he just looked at our twins, frozen and grief stricken.

As we kept trying to get to each other I saw a familiar vampire appear behind them. Finn.

"STAY AWAY FROM THEM!" I shouted at him, doing whatever I could do to break that clear wall that was torturing me with my children's screams. All Finn did was smile at me in an evil way. "Please…"

"Don't you dare touch them!" Jacob growled. "Please don't hurt them!"

Finn shook his head no and gripped my babies tight. The screamed as they were being pulled off to the woods. Jake and I cried and begged but nothing did any good. We had to see Sage and Grace's faces of hurt and disbelief as they saw us not saving them. They didn't understand that we try but can't.

My legs buckled underneath me as I saw who was standing before them. The Volturi. It was like my happy ending was what they wanted to destroy. That's how they can kill me.

"Now, now. You two will not be crying much longer. Think of it as a service to your parents. You won't be bringing them pain much longer." Aro said as he spoke to my twins. He bent down and patted them on the head while Sage and Grace just clutched each other. I wanted rip that arm apart that touch my angels.

I was frozen. I couldn't move no matter how bad the fire inside me told me to fight. Jake was the brave one. He fought, yelled, even willing to give up his own life so they could live. He knew I would protect them. Look how well that trust has gotten him.

"I'll give you anything! Take my life! Don't take theirs! Please! Let them go!" he shouted, his voice cracking.

Aro grabbed Grace while Caius grabbed Sage. It was like they didn't even hear us. I let out a sob as I knew what was about to happen. It seems at that exact time Jacob's knees gave out and he buckled to the ground. He gripped me and cried with me as we knew what we were about to be forced to see. And my angels' screams for us as we heard the snap of a neck and the biting of flesh proved me right…

I jumped awake just as Jacob ran into the bathroom. I looked around to see that I had fallen asleep in the bathtub, my extremely huge, big, gigantic stomach poking out a little in the water. Today was March tenth. My baby shower. I couldn't feel more miserable.

I looked at Jacob who's eyes were red and watery as mine. Our connection made us share the same dream. It didn't matter when we shared the same worry.

"You okay?" I asked, wiggling to sit up. Being nine months pregnant and having a baby shower was not a great idea but it was last minute and rushed in. It scared Jacob even more. Now that I'm as big as my mother was with her just being only a few weeks pregnant terrified him.

"Yeah." he said as if something was stuck in his throat. Tears that his pride was trying to swallow down. "Did you…"

I nodded, knowing what he meant. Did I have the same dream too? Yes. I wish I hadn't. I wish I could keep that dream at bay and away from my mind. Why can't I have just happy dream? Is this a pregnancy thing?

I heard commotion downstairs and decided it was time to get moving so Alice won't be one my case. Jacob helped me up as I wobbled up out of the slippery tub. He gently touched me as he helped me step out of the tub and onto the floor, grabbing my robe for me. I put it on and leaned against him, breathing heavy. My stomach was huge. I don't see where I'll be able to make it in less than a week. It looked like they were ready to come out today and I was ready for them too. I was done with being pregnant.

I relaxed as Jacob rubbed circles in my lower back where most of the ache was. I opened my eyes to find two creatures that were totally the opposite but just alike starring back at me. The male was kissing the girl's neck and trying everything he could to distract her. The girl just stared back at me. They were us. The same but opposite. Russet skin against alabaster cream. His straight black hair with my bronze ringlets. His buff, godlike physique with my noticeable curves with the gigantic belly. Immortal and beautiful. Just like my babies will be. Beautiful.

Jacob rubbed my stomach while a flash of pain went through my stomach. It felt like cramps at first but then got deeper. It even into my achy back, hurting so bad that I had to suck in a breath and gripped Jacob because that seemed to what could help at the time.

I started to think about how many I've had. They were slow but painful. They were still getting quicker and quicker by the hour. Could I really be in labor or just being whiny?

Jacob brought me as close to him as he could get me. He tensed up at first but then seemed okay with it. He made me look up at him and tried to crack a smile. He did but it didn't reach his eyes that I could just melt in. He is not going to admit that he cried also. He wasn't going to admit that he's terrified that his son and daughter might not be immortal. That he was just down right scared.

Men.

I moved my head, daring him to kiss me. He smiled and bent down to press his lips on mine. I wanted him to. We wouldn't be together until the shower was over. For once Alice wants to go traditional?

"I wish you didn't have to go." I whispered.

"I don't have to. All you have to do is say the word and I'll stay. Trust me, I want too." Jacob whispered in my ear.

My mine went blank and I looked at Jacob confused. "Say what?" I asked.

Jacob looked at me like he couldn't believe anything but then his face slipped into the same state as mine. I guess my confusion got to him too because all he did was reach up and rub the back of his neck.

"I…I really don't remember. Must not have been that important I guess." he shrugged..

I copied his movement and reached up to kiss him again when aunt Alice whooshed in and got in between us. I kept leaning forward due to the leave my stomach got and almost fell into her if she didn't catch me.

Alice turned to glare at Jake, "You. Leave. No men allowed." she ordered.

"But she could go into labor." Jake pleaded.

"Then we'll call you. Now go." Alice pushed him out the door but stopped and looked at me. "Since you probably don't feel up to a argument, and I really don't want you moody for your own baby shower, I'm letting you choose from the clothes I picked out for you. So don't screw it up."

I bit down my laugh and nodded, saluting her. She playfully hissed at me so I hissed back as she left. Talk about pressure.

I worked down to tame down the curls but then eventually gave up to sit down. I was so dizzy and nauseated and the achy back and feet hurting weren't helping either. Another pain hit but this time it was light. This was going to be a long day.

Momma came in to see how I was doing just when I was deciding on clothes. She asked if everything was okay and then there was there for support when I needed help. Knowing Alice, she picked designer tags that were in style.

I choose a tealish-green floor length gown that was loose for my comfort. It was goddess style and the fabric at the bottom was cut into strips that flowed whenever I walked. I went to do my hair then. To tired to care, I just threw it up in a curly updo. I was finally ready.

"Just the heads up. Your gift from your father and I is at your house." Momma said as she walked gracefully down the stairs as I waddled. She let me go my own pace which I hated.

The guest started coming in shortly after. The Denalis came in earlier this morning so we could spend some time visiting. While Tanya and Carmen gushed over how pregnant I was, Kate stood in the corner. She was standing like a rigid, wild, caged animal. Even when I stepped closer to her, she bared her teeth at me and eventually let out a menacing snarl at me. As she was about to either rip mine or her own head off, Garrett dragged her outside. They haven't returned.

"I still cannot believe you are pregnant! First we're left out of your attack, now this?! You really have to keep in contact with us, Renesmee." Tanya said as all the rest of the guest mingled. I had to sit most of the time due to my gigantic stomach and Grandpa made me promise him that I would take it easy.

To be honest, I'm glad Alice decided to have this last minute. It was nice to have everybody together. Even Karli came down from college. Jacob was happy to see his brother but I noticed something tense. Thankfully the changed California Karli interrupted and smoothed things out. You can tell that getting out of dreary, rainy Washington changed her. She's thinner; her hair was now blonde streaked with black highlights. She practically tackled me to the ground when she saw me. She wouldn't even shutup about how huge I've gotten, (not like I can forget. I mean, I am nine months) and how she was so excited to see them. Even though they'd probably be like five when she was able to come up again. Her words, not mine. I'm just the girl mocking her.

Now we sat opening presents. I was completely, fully overstocked with diapers, bibs, pacifiers, bottles, clothes. Some, of course, designers thanks to my aunts. One outfit I pulled out was a cute lilac dress for Grace and a blue dress shirt with white pants and a blue and white stripped tie for Sage. It was so beautiful. When I turned the box over, it didn't say who it was from.

"Who's this from?" I asked around.

"Open the letter." Momma answered with a smile.

I shrugged and shifted through paper until I found a cream colored envelope. I panicked at first, thinking it was the Volturi or the British coven, but then thought anybody in this room wouldn't give me something just to get me more worried. I relaxed when I saw that the envelope was titled with our nicknames. Nobody that wasn't close to us would call us by our nicknames.

I opened the envelope and pulled out a letter, reading it silently,

We hope that your two little ones will fit in this by the wedding. We will try and visit your new little family in a very short while. May the four of you enjoy life to its fullest.

Roxanne and Nahuel,

I laughed. Nahuel. He went behind out backs and betrayed out trust. He tried to rip Jacob and I apart when he knew how much we needed each other. But he also made us realize that it wasn't entirely his fault. We were the ones doing the ripping. All he had to do was show up. He saved our lives. He didn't kill Jake like I feared he would.

And Roxanne. She fell in love with Nahuel and they both worked behind enemy lines to keep me and my family safe. She was upset that I was pregnant and yelled in my face that she hoped I lost the baby and that I die. She didn't mean it. At least not to its fullest. Now they sent beautiful gifts for my twins. Amazing how things can change.

I put the outfits back in the box and opened another present. Two pair of white booties were from my grandmother Renee along with other cute stuff about having a son and daughter. I'll have to call her and tell her thank you-even though she doesn't know she bough these gifts for her great grandchildren.

Speaking of great grandmothers, Esme made a sky blue blanket with the name embroidered Sage Edward at one corner and a lilac one with Grace Isabelle. It was touching enough to bring tears to my eyes as I hugged her. When she asked what was wrong, I simply shook my head. Only the reality was hitting in. In only a short time I'll be using all this stuff on two creatures I-and everybody else-hasn't met yet but already adore. This was really happening.

The next present was from Sue. On the top were two cute onesies that had a howling wolf on the front. On the bottom it said, "Watch it, pup. I run with the big dogs." I laughed at the inside joke until my sides hurt-and heard two hard objects shuffle around. When I moved back the paper I saw two wood carvings of wolves.

"Billy made those." Sue said, squeezing my arm.

Eventually the stupid tears I swallowed back and tried to keep at bay were coming down. I handed the present of to Leah and wiped my eyes. I had no clue why I was so emotional. Jacob and I were about to have a family. Something we never thought would happen but will.

As I was about to stand up another pain sent me back down on the couch. This one was bad enough to make me wince. But something else made me stop. This one was a lot closer to the last one.

I started doing the time in my head even thought I knew what was happening. I was having contractions. But what scared me was that they weren't normal contractions. Normal ones are slow at first then speed together. Normal labors were long and hard usually. Mine we quick and getting quicker with the pain getting intense with every one. I was having these babies today.

"Nessie?" Momma asked but I let it go through one ear and out the other.

I knew I wouldn't be lucky with a normal labor. I knew something would happen to where it would put not only my life but the life of my twins in even more danger. Grandpa already said that due to the vampire gene my labor will be risky and tricky. I guess he figured right when he said all would happen at one. I wasn't going to get lucky and be normal. My luck wanted me to have things the hard way.

I got sick just as another quick contraction hit. Right on time. Just this time it seemed a tad faster. All I could do was wiggle up and run to the kitchen. All the food that I managed to keep down came right back up. Momma and a few others were there but none of it really mattered when I didn't have my Jacob here beside me.

I slid down to the floor and put my hands on my stomach, not helping but to feel the twins. They were low. Extremely low. Oh, God!

"How fast can Grandpa get here?" I asked.

"Why?"

"Because I'm not sure or not, but I think I'm in labor."

Grandpa was called immediately and I was sent up to my room just in case. I could be wrong. I could just be paranoid. A first time mother. I let them talk. It's going to be real funny when I'm being proved right.

And I was proven right. As Grandpa was examining me his face went from normal to worried in a flash of a millisecond. I was in labor. I was having Sage and Grace today. My contractions were not normal.

See. I'm not such a whiny, first time mother after all.

Grandpa told me and my parents the risk. The twins were in tricky positions. We didn't know how strong I would be to uphold a part human, part vampire labor. I tried to ignore that part and focus more on how bad I was cursing Jacob's name. I mean, he should be here. He should be able to feel the desperation of me wanting him. He should feel how bad I hate him right now.

I looked down at my stomach. The babies kicked in union. They pick a perfect day to come. When I said I was so done being pregnant I didn't expect them to come when I didn't expect them too. I guess be careful what you wish for goes for a lot more things than just horrible luck.

"It would be nice to have you daddy here, huh?" Another kick and I couldn't help but laugh but later grimace when a contraction hit. I guess they agreed with me.

I didn't know how this would end. Just right now I wanted my Jacob. I was scared. I was going into the unknown and I didn't how to respond to it. I was going into an unusual labor that could be in my favor and could do the complete opposite. I was going into something tricky. My labor was going to be harder than I expected it. Was it all worth it?

I was nervous. Here I am in labor and Jacob isn't here. Could his worse fear come true? Did he get caught up in something and was having trouble deciding which he should do first. I was nervous because I was also about to be a mother in I don't know how long this would take hours. Would I be a good mother? Could I handle it? Would Sage and Grace like me? Will we be able to protect them until there was no way we could protect them anymore?

I was terrified. End of story. There was no other way to put it.

~~~~~ Forever Ours ~~~~~

Jacob's point of view:

I should have never left Nessie. I knew something would happen. Our dream made me antsy. My beautiful son and daughter in the hands of evil and I didn't do anything about it. We begged. We pleaded. We cried. We still couldn't do anything to save Grace and Sage.

My dream son and daughter looked so much like their mother but also like me. Sage had Nessie's curls while his sister was a lot closer to the straight where she got from me. I didn't care what they look like. They were Renesmee's. That's all that mattered.

Nessie didn't want me to leave and I didn't want to. But a baby shower was what she needed to get her mind off of things. It was time for her to relax and let me worry about things. She hated the idea at first. Nessie's first go to excuse was that the twins had enough. And Alice came back that there was never enough of enough. I know, confusing but it if kept Nessie's mind off of things then I went with it. Plus I was able to run a few errands myself.

I decided to drive my car instead of run on four legs to get some stress off. I went and picked up Nessie's present I ordered in Seattle and then walked aimlessly around, imagining what my girl was doing. I kept thinking that I was going to become a father any day now. I was excited but terrified at the same time. It's normal, right?

I drove back to La Push and ran to make sure hunters weren't nearby. They were but thankfully I didn't get caught. I hoped that with us taking the chance to slack off that they would find nothing out there and they would slack off to eventually nothing.

I'm so going to kill Kaleb. Leave it to him to add more stress on the plate I'm forced to eat from.

How can these weird werewolves be? Edward said that they should not have even been in London when Nessie encountered one. Why did they just disappear? Why does everything have to go wrong just in time for my son and daughter to be born.

To my displeasure they guys thought of a "good idea" for us to have a bonfire, just us brothers. Since we were all bored and didn't have our girls, why not? But the boring me declined. Yes, I was in a relaxed mood but I was also exhausted. They dragged me there anyway.

I fell asleep anyway.

"Jake! Jacob! Wake up, you idiot!" I heard somebody shout but I just pushed them away.

"Jacob! Renesmee's going into labor!" Now that I will get up for.

Wait. What? We have a week-maybe even days! She-she can't be in labor?! Not when I'm not with her! Don't these things take time?

As I tried to get away, I heard the guys laughing behind me. Why would they be laughing when…Renesmee's not in labor. They just don't have anything better else to do with their time.

"Very funny." I grumbling, plopping back down.

"You're right. It was." Quil joked.

"If you keep telling me that I won't believe you."

"You could have just said crying wolf."

"Do you want me to make that literally happen?" I snapped.

I sunk back down and rubbed my eyes. This was horrible. I was away from my angel. So many things could-will-go wrong. My luck was that bad.

Eventually I started to relax. If something happen to Nessie I would know it. She would call or I would fill it. Whichever came first.

Everything was going okay until we heard a rustle in the trees. We all jumped up, preparing to phase until we saw Ethan come through the woods. His dirty face shown that he had been crying; but what really scared me was where was his brother.

"I want to see mom." Ethan said, holding his head up high. "Please."

I wanted to laugh. I really have no clue why. "How long have you been human? It all depends on that." I said, softening my voice a little. I tried not to think about the fact that his future was in my hands. Do I let him continue to phase? Do I let him grow?

"Ten minutes." he answered proudly. For some reason I couldn't help but imagine my son in Ethan's shoes. My brown eyes. Nessie's curls. And the magic that would run through his veins. It was so much just for something that hasn't even happen yet. Do I really want to put him and Grace through the pain and agony just in case they weren't immortal?

"Ethan, why don't we take a walk." I said, getting up and walking to the woods. Like always, Ethan followed.

"So are you going to let me see mom and Emma? The kid knows how to not beat around the bush.

"I can't. Ten minutes isn't long enough You'll have to go a little longer to see your family."

"Why?"

I took a deep breath. "Because if you can't control your anger you can hurt them? You won't mean it but it happens. Once you've controlled your anger, we'll think about seeing your mom and sister."

"Jake? Have you ever lost it on Nessie? Have you ever hurt her?"

I didn't know why he asked me this when he knew. He saw what Sam did to Emily; what I almost did to Nessie, what Paul almost did to Rachel before I almost killed him for almost hurting my sister. We've grown careless. It's something I needed to stop before I stepped foot on a plane for New Hampshire.

How could I answer it? I've almost lost it on her so many times. I've hurt her so many times. Yes." was all the I could say.

"Well how can I not hurt mama and Emma?"

This kid can really ask some serious questions. "That you have to figure out on your own. All of us have different methods. I think of my family, Collin thinks of First Beach, Sam thinks of Emily and Channing. You just have to find what keeps you calm. What'd you do now that helped it?" This is what I spent most of my time doing. I didn't mind it. It was all apart of what I was suppose to do.

"I thought of dad."

I bit my lip. I felt sorry for him and his family. It seemed like one bad thing after another happen. That I could relate to.

"So next time you want to be human just think of your dad." I shrugged.

Ethan just nodded, his face deep with concentration. I told him to stay here while I went to find him some clothes, promising that we would talk more. I smelt that we were already near his house when something funny came over me. It wasn't Nessie. Feeling her was different. This was caution. Like I had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach that he shouldn't follow me when I knew he would.

I wish he didn't follow me but he did. I knew I had to come up with a decision. It was something I wish I didn't have to make.

"Ethan?" I thought since we both phased. "Do you like being a wolf? Do you want to live this life? The obeying ever command I give, the long sleepless nights, not being able to see your mom, or your sister, or your friends because you might be doing a seventy-two hours patrol because I can't risk a vampire getting through our surveillance." Okay, yes I was trying to talk him out of it. I wasn't going to hide the fact that I can't let him die.

"I think it's cool. I mean, you say I'll eventually calm down, and you're pretty cool."

Even though I wanted to smile I couldn't. He didn't know the full job. He was too young to handle it. He was still a boy. Even when I phased I was still a boy. We were all young but it was a lot better than Ethan's age.

Sometimes I hate being Alpha.

When I got close to his house, that "feeling" got even worse for me. It was sent through out the pack's mental link. But what I felt didn't prepare me for what I saw in Jordan's mind.

He went to go see his mom after him and Ethan found a way to phase. Nobody knew of his plan to see their mother since he didn't come up with the idea as a wolf. And I never really ordered him to stay away from his home. While Ethan went to find me, Jordan went to find the only thing he's good at. Trouble.

Their visit was going good until Jordan started loosing control. He went around, yelling, crashing things around the house. All it too was for his mom to say calm down and he lost it. Jordan tore through his mother out of anger and rage. When he heard us coming closer he took off . He had no emotion. No guilt. It left me in cold, hard, shock.

I've had enough!

"JORDAN! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE! THAT WAS MOM!" he shouted.

"She won't ditch us any more." was all he could say.

I was shocked. The whole pack was. We've never had anybody this ruthless. Yeah, all of us had bad tempers, and Paul liked to start a little trouble, but we all had a heart. It was hanged over our head that we could hurt the ones we loved. It made us want to be better. I can't believe that a person like Jordan is protecting our people. Protecting my family. How could he be allowed to be a protector when he was this evil.

So I kept my voice low and deadly. I ordered him to stay away from people, from his brothers and sister. To get as far away from La Push as he could get. I ordered Paul, Jared, and a few others to stay with him and not let him go until I got to him.

Since I was the closest to the house I saw through the window something none of us wanted to see. I wanted to puke all over again. I wished Ethan didn't have to see this. I wished Emma wasn't the one who was sobbing over her mother. I wish Sam didn't see it because it brought up old demons and nightmares of what he did to Emily. I didn't want to see it for my sanity because I know my Nessie will find out.

"Oh God." I heard Sam say.

I moved fast, ordering Ethan to stay away while me, Sam, Quil, Kyle, and Kaleb went into action. Emma backed away, terrified that we were going to do more damage. Christina wasn't breathing. I wish Carlisle was here right now.

"Call Carlisle! Call nine-one-one. Get Emma out of here." I ordered to anybody who listened as I started doing CPR. I had to keep my anger and rage down so I wouldn't do more damage. I had too.

A phone went off to my irritation and Kaleb answered it. I wanted to snap at him to get off the phone and do something useful. I wanted to kill him and Jordan. And nobody would stop me this time. Not even Nessie.

I didn't pay attention to the conversation until somebody started calling my name and shaking me, trying to get away from her body. I turned, ready to snap, until I saw how white Kaleb's face had gotten. His face matched how I felt. Ready to puke any moment.

Something's happen.

"It's Bella." was all he would say. And that was all it took for me to realize something was wrong with Nessie.

I snatched the phone away, "What's wrong with Nessie?!" I demanded.

"Jake? Nessie's having the babies. Today. Carlisle said that her contractions are going faster than normal. They're more painful and last longer too the closer she gets. She's dilated a lot." Bella quickly explained that if I didn't have sensitive hearing, I wouldn't have understood. I heard the excitement but the also the worry in her voice. So that's why Kaleb looked sick.

Wait. Sage and Grace were coming? Today? Faster than normal? Worst fear coming true? "Don't tell me this is a joke, Bells." I warned, not really in the mood for anymore pranks.

I heard Nessie curse my name loudly, and say other stuff she never says, as she came to the phone, "I swear, Jacob-freaking-Ephraim-freaking Black, if you didn't get you ass here this very millisecond I'm going to…"

I handed the phone off to someone as Nessie shouted more stuff at me. Yeah, she was in labor. I ran out the door, phasing the second I got outside, and opened up my connection to her. I wanted to slap myself. If I wasn't so confident then it would be okay. If I never left…If…

No. Sage and Grace are coming. I'm about to be the father to Renesmee's children. I can't be worried Ethan, or Jordan, or Christina, or Emma, or even our move. I have to focus on Nessie, Gracie, Sage, and staying human.

"Oh, yeah, Nessie's-" Brady started to say but I cut him off. Believe me, I knew.

I ran faster than I ever though I could run. I couldn't even see what was in front of me. I promised Nessie. I've broken plenty of promises to her but I cannot-will not-break this one. Nessie can cuss me as much as she wants because I know I deserve it. But she will not be able to say I wasn't there for the birth of our twins.

I phased and ran through the house, not really caring that I was naked, and didn't care who I shoved out the way. I practically jumped up the stairs. I ran around the corners and bumped into someone. My quick speed and panic made a blurr and whoever I bumped into stumbled backwards while slid to the floor. I got up to dash to Nessie when I saw a crown of bronze ringlets…Nessie.

Nessie!

"Oh, God! Ness, I'm so, so, soooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry." I explained as I walked over to her until she shrank back against her mother and Leah.

Leah? What was Leah doing here?

"Not again…" Nessie moaned, covering mouth and Bella rubbed her back.

"What? What are you doing up? I thought-" I was cut off by her running off and gagging. Bella went after her.

"Good job, Jake." Leah faked smirked.

"What are you doing her?" I asked Leah, already gearing up to run after my girl.

"The smell." she simply answered as if it was obvious.

"Oh." was all stupidly said and took a step to leave before Leah stopped me.

"You're covered in blood, you idiot. I don't think it'll help her if you're with her like that. And get some clothes on."

I nodded. I mumbled something I don't even understand and sped off to our room. I ran to the bathroom and scrubbed my body clean to get run off the blood and put on a pair of jeans. In my attempt to speed up the process it only made me slower while tried to put clothes on while running out the room. All that worked made me fall flat on my face. I swore, took a deep breath, put them on slow and calm.

Then I ran out the room.

She was in a bed in Carlisle office with monitors all around her. The doc was prepared. My poor girl looked miserable and aggravated. I could feel it. I wanted to blame myself because I got her pregnant. I was going to put her through this pain.

"Nessie. I'm sorry. I thought you were okay and then something came up…" I trailed as Leah slipped out of the room. I knew why. It was hard staying in the room because of wanting to run the other way.

"A little late for that but at least you are finally here. Took your sweet time, don't you think?" Nessie said as I grabbed a chair and sat next to her.

"Why didn't you tell me? How long have I been gone? Where's Carlisle? Why-"

"Relax, Jacob. We still have a…well, we don't have that much time but to keep us calm we're going to pretend, okay?"

"Sure, sure."

I loved her.

"Now onto your next two questions. You were gone for a while; and the reason why we didn't let you know sooner was because everybody kept telling me it was false alarms until Carlisle did an examination. The contractions are faster than they should be. I think this going to not the normal screaming deal."

I kissed her forehead and brushed my thumb on her cheekbone. "What was wrong? You look upset." she whispered close to my lips. If it wasn't for her gripping my arm tight I would have kissed her.

I wasn't going to tell her. Not now at least. "I don't want to talk about it right now. You're my main focus right now." I smiled, putting my hand on her huge stomach. This was it. This was the day I would meet two creatures I've fallen in love with.

Renesmee smiled and wiggled to make room for me next to her. She was nauseated so I did. I wanted laugh as I tried to wrap my arm around her waist to pull her close to me. She was all belly and barely no body. I didn't want to call her fat but she was huge. So she didn't get as close to me as I preferred.

But she was still the sexiest woman I've seen in my life. That still stands. Pregnancy or not.

She eventually got settled and sighed, smiling down at her stomach, "This is it." she whispered, "At least, I hope it is because it really does feel like it."

I gave a slight laugh but it faltered whenever Nessie sat up and cried out in pain. She winced and sucked in a breath just as Carlisle, Edward, and Bella came in. I moved around so Nessie could only smell me.

"Another contraction?" Bella asked and my girl nodded. She plopped back down.

"How are the contractions?" Carlisle asked as he examined her.

"Harder."

"What's going on?" I asked. What? I should know.

"Her contractions are faster than we expected." he answered.

"And more painful than anything I've ever experienced. And longer. And almost every time I have a contraction I throw up-" Nessie chirped in but it was interrupted when she lurched up.

Edward had a bin in front of her to throw up in before anything came out of her mouth. I rubbed her back but secretly wanted to puke with her. Stupid connection.

"I swear, Jacob Black, we are never doing this whole baby thing again." Renesmee showed.

This was going to be a long labor…

~~~~~ Forever Ours ~~~~~

Renesmee's point of view:

My labor kept getting quicker and quicker and the pain was getting worse. It came quicker, stayed longer. I kept trying to tell myself that it was good that I was going ahead and getting it over with but I couldn't really do that when a contraction hit and I would squeeze Jacob's hand to the point of breaking.

I was scared and excited at the same time. I was excited because I'm finally able to hold the two creatures I haven't met yet but already loved. These were two beings Jacob and I created.

The scary part was the unknowing. How Carlisle's reacting and taking precautions really scared me to death. I knew it would be tricky. Grandpa had it right. Something can easily go wrong. Jacob could loose everything. So much could happen and I didn't know what to do.

It was getting late when I looked out the window to try anything to distract me. Another contraction hit and I squeezed the covers. My feels like long labor was almost ending. The contractions were getting closer than before and Jacob's name was being cussed a lot more. Surprisingly he took it with stride until I punched him for apologizing to me a little bit too much.

"It'll only be a few more minutes, sweetie." Momma soothed and I glared at her. She put her hand on my cheek and I tried to bite at it. This was getting old quick.

Everybody kept getting on my nerves so bad that I kicked everybody but her and Jacob out. If she don't watch it she'll be like everybody else. Outside.

"Get these things out of me." I hissed and settled back down. It hit me then that I just called my angels monsters.

You can see how bad my moods changed.

The contraction passed, this time without throwing up, and I settled against Jacob's chest. I looked up at his beautiful face, picturing my son and daughter looking just like him. The thought made me relax.

You're so beautiful." he thought, brushing his thumb back and forth on my cheek bone. It made me blush until I got uncomfortable and I didn't want him to touch me.

"Do you have to touch me every freaking second?" my voice blared in his head. He backed off.

I got too uncomfortable to lay down so I had to get up and move. Jacob was right beside me and let me lean against him as we walked. He would rub my back, which helped, until my water finally broke when Carlisle came in to examine me. Even he said it would only take a few more minutes. He was the doctor so Jacob believed him but for me it only seemed I had only a few more hours.

After a while of hard contractions, I pushed Jacob out of he bed and growled at him, "You are never touching me again."

He put his hands up and scooted his chair further away from me. I knew I was scaring him but I didn't care. He's the one that got me in this mess in the first place. He was never going to touch me again. If I don't kill him first.

A few minutes later I saw Jacob's cautious look when he glanced over at me when I called for him, "I know I'm not going to-"

"Not that, you idiot."

"Then what do you want?"

"For you to come here."

He saw my pleading gaze and came over his face close to my hands. A contraction hit and my hands wrapped around his neck without thinking much about it. He eventually got out of my hold and fell backwards.

"I…I think I'm going…um…you need to rest while I…" Jacob trailed whenever I laid down in the bed, "find an ice pack."

He walked out the room while I closed my eyes. I was a mess. I was in pain. I always said being pregnant was not for me but now it's definitely not going to happen again.

I didn't realize I feel asleep until I woke up to find my Jacob's aggravated tone of voice in the hallway. Maybe he did need an ice pack after all. I did abuse him a lot.

"What do you mean I can't be in there?!" Jacob yelled.

"You're not letting anybody get near her except for you. She's even pushing you away. How can you expect Carlisle to keep her alive when you won't let him get near her? What if she has to have a cesarean? Would you be able to go through it?" Daddy asked. I heard a slight tone with venom in it. Not again.

My Jacob was silent. He couldn't help that he didn't want nothing to happen to me. Surely everybody else could understand that. "I just can't loose her." I barely heard him mumble.

"I promise, Jacob, that I will not let nothing happen to her or the babies. You have my word." Carlisle promised. That's a hefty promise to keep. It only caused more determination in me that I had to fight for my Jacob.

But I had to have him here in order for me to fight for him. It was my dumb idea to get up and walk out in the hall when they were talking. I opened the door and stared at them. I should probably be in bed now that another contraction hit but I have to make sure Jacob is here with me.

"You're suppose to be in bed." Jacob said, walking up to me.

I backed away. Him touching me was why I was in this mess. "I want to make sure that you're here." I said.

"I am-I mean, I will be. Don't worry about it."

I walked back to bed as another contraction hit, growling in aggravation and hissing in pain. I didn't pay attention to what happen. All I noticed is that the pain was so bad it sent me to my knees.

"Nessie?" I heard my mother ask as everybody kneeled around me. I only wrapped my arms around my stomach, praying the pain would end soon.

"We need to get her in bed. They're getting in distress" Grandpa said. "I'm afraid I'll have to do a cesarean."

Grandpa gave me an apologetic look and kissed me on the forehead. I curled myself up in a little ball, knowing this pain wasn't leaving anytime soon. Distress? What does this mean?

"Jake…" I trailed as the tears came down.

Jacob seemed cautious but went ahead and sat down on the edge of the bed. He pushed my tangled, messy hair out of my eyes and wiped the tears away.

"It's okay, baby. It's going to be okay." he thought to me. It seemed like he was telling himself that too.

"I don't think I can do this anymore."

Jake smiled, "It's a little late for that, don't you think?"

It would have been super romantic if he kissed me but that was interrupted by my parents coming to my side. I turned over to see both of them putting on tight smiles. The water works kicked in again.

"Don't cry, Nessie." Daddy said.

"Why?" I sobbed. "What if something goes wrong?"

"Nothing will go wrong."

"Promise?"

My father wiped the continuous tears away. He knew that this was one promise he couldn't make. "You'll always be my little girl. Don't ever forget that." he whispered as he kissed me on the forehead.

I squeezed Jacob's hand tight and he squeezed back. He wasn't going to admit he was scared so he could just upset me even more. I was so emotional I didn't care. We were about to be parents. This was really it.

I turned my head and looked at my beautiful Jacob. He helped me sit up and I put my hand on his cheek. We were ready whether we liked it or not. I was about to open my mouth to say how much I loved him and how much I couldn't wait to see our angels when my stomach heaved and I threw up all over him.

I couldn't stop, and eventually my target was a bin instead of Jake's lap. My stomach was on fire and I didn't know which to pay attention to. My stomach being the worst possible pain there is or me throwing up.

By the time I was done all I could do was pant. I felt myself sway and then fall when I head Jacob shout, "Carlisle!" Or I think he shouted that. It sounded so far away. All I could see was blood everywhere. On Jacob, in the bin, on the covers, on me, dripping from my mouth.

I threw up blood again as I heard words I didn't bother to register. The taste of blood in my mouth was horrible. It just made me want to puke even more but also hunt. Both don't mix together.

Pain surged through my stomach, this time making me want to cry out. Everything seemed like it was in a slow motion movie when I looked up. Everybody was running around but all stopped when they saw me. I couldn't hear voices, getting distracted by the blood that kept coming out of my mouth.

I felt myself being laid down and something prick my skin. Something was coursing though me. It was sweet and warm. It took all the pain away. It set me in a soft river to where all I could do was float. I was numb and too relaxed to fight it as hands grabbed me to pull me under.

"You'll be okay." Jacob kept chanting over and over as I saw his face above me. It was cloudy and hazy but I was able to see his face clearly than all the others.

I felt something hit my cheek. It was water. I didn't know if it was because of the river or Jacob's tears. I was too far gone to care. All I could do was try to project him how much I loved him and the twins; how much I couldn't wait to see them. I wanted to project more but I was swept off as I listened to Jacob's beating heart match mine.

I was able to hear almost all that happen while I was under. Carlisle was filling Jacob and somebody else in; Jacob was growling at somebody to go to hell. I could tell he needed to phase but he wouldn't leave me anytime soon. I loved him for that. I could feel something mess with my skin but I had no clue what it felt like. Eventually I heard a baby cry and then shortly after that another one. They were here. That was my Sage and Grace! That was my son and daughter I couldn't hold because somebody wanted this to be my cruel punishment! Jacob should count himself lucky.

"Let me hold them!" I wanted to shout. I tried to move but it was useless. I was chained inside this dark prison.

The darkness tried to pull me away again but I fought it kicking and screaming. I wanted to wake up and see my twins! I wanted to see their father! I just wanted to do…something! Why did they have to put me through this much misery? Was this some cruel joke?!

"They're so beautiful, Jacob." I heard my mother say. Now that isn't fair!

"At least we know who can stop the gifts without even trying." I heard Daddy chuckle.

WHO? WHO?!

I heard the shrill of a kitten and then Jacob laughing. "Oh my God." I heard him say.

What? Why was Jacob saying that? I need him to say something more about them. Describe them. If you can't do that then at least let me hear them cry! At least let me wake up so I can see them!

Obviously I didn't get that when I was pulled back under…again!

I didn't know how long I was under this time but to me it felt like days. Were they okay? Did Grace look like Jacob? What about Sage? Were they okay? Was Jacob okay? Who has the whole gift stopping deal? Was everybody else okay? Why can't anybody hear me?!

After hours and hours of just simply floating I felt like I was finally coming to. It was dark in the room I was in but it seemed natural light was coming in by somewhere. I felt like I was out of my body. I couldnt move no matter how much I wanted to. I felt woozy-most defiantly out of it-and my vision was blurry. Where was I?

It took me a while but I managed to turn my head to the left to see a blurred image. Other than that I was too numb to move anything else and too out of it to care.

There I saw my Jacob, yy beautiful Jacob, holding a baby in a blue blanket. He was smiling and talking, "When do you think your mama's going to wake up, huh?"

The baby, from what I could gather, had light skin with a touch of a cream hint to them. But where was the girl? Didn't I have two?

Jacob glanced up at me then back down at the baby then back up at me. He looked like a…I don't what he reminded me of but he looked shocked. He got up from the love seat and rushed to my bed, calling for someone but I didn't register who. I felt pressure on my cheek and Jake smiled like he couldn't believe something. He started talking, his eyes almost closing, but I couldn't understand what he saying. The fog was about to pull me back under but this time I wasn't about to let it.

"Nessie?" I heard Jacob ask me but I never answered, "They're beautiful, Ness. Sage looks like you. Grace has mom's eyes. She's the one who can stop everything. Ness, they're amazing."

I saw Jacob's face light up at them mention of the babies. I tried to make the corners to go into a smile but I don't know how well I was doing. I felt pressure on my chest and looked down to see a sleeping baby on my chest. It was swaddled in a lilac blanket and it had a head full of silky black hair like its brother. She looked just like Jacob but you could see me in her sharp features. Who were these strangers my numb, unmovable arms itched to hold.

I heard laughter from the room and tiredly looked up at Jacob. Somebody said he should get some rest but he shook his head no. All he did was smile at me like an idiot. Eventually he put the boy on my chest next to the girl. I wanted to cry, smile, hold them, all at once but I couldn't. My body wouldn't allow me.

"She's looking at them like who in the hell are these things?" I heard a deep voice say. All I did was blink.

Jacob bent down and kissed my forehead, "You're still doped up, huh?" he whispered. All my body allowed me to do was nod.

I looked down at the sleeping babies on my chest. The girl-Grace-looked like Jacob while the boy-Sage-looked like me. They body had the creamy, tan skin tone, the head full of silky, jet black hair, and the sharp features. These were mine. My Sage and Grace.

"Why don't we let Renesmee rest some more. She'll be able to do more once her medication wears off. You need to rest too, Jacob." I heard Carlisle say, finally able to register voices with names.

I closed my eyes and sighed. If felt warm hands take Grace and Sage off of my chest; and I sunk deeper and deeper into a blissful sleep. Eventually I'll hold them.

For what seemed like a whole day I was finally able to come to again. I let out a moan as I tried to move. I was so sore that it hurt to move my stiff limbs. But I was happy that I was able to have some movement in my heavy limbs.

I turned my head in the dark room to try and find Jacob. I saw him curled on the love seat, his long legs hanging off. The babies weren't nowhere to be seen to my disappoint. I saw two basinets across from me and figured they were there.

I wiggled my heavy limbs over the bed and sat up, wincing with every move. Everything hurt but I pushed that back in my mind. The only thing that kept me going was the few steps I was away from my twins.

I wobbly got up, leaning against the bed post and tried to take a step. I tried to put pressure on my weak legs but when I did I fell.

I hit the floor with a grunt. Well, so much for trying to see the twins. So all I could do was crawl to the basinets until I saw two legs standing in front of me. When I looked up, I saw the look of Jacob.

"Can I ask what are you thinking when you tried to walk only hours after your c-section?"

"Sure." I mumbled as he picked me up. I winced.

He sat me down on the bed and took my hand. My halfway loopy self smiled and squeezed his hand, "I was trying to see the twins. I was kind of out of it last time." I rasped because of being moved too much.

"You were." he restored back. I rolled my eyes. I really want to know where my son and daughter are, not how bad I was out of it. "But our amazing son and daughter are the topic of the new argument. Everybody wants to hold them. You'll be lucky to even get a glance of them."

Jacob smiled as if he was talking about me. I could tell he loves being a dad. He's been with them ever since they were born. He's fed them, changed them, talked to them, lets them know about me all the time, held them. All while being here with me.

"So they're wonderful?" I stupidly asked. I slumped down in the bed, prepared to go back to sleep. Jake's excitement was what made me stay awake.

"They are. Sage looks so much like while Grace looks like me. They're several shades lighter than me but they have your sharp features. Sage's eyes are like mine while Grace's are cinnamon brown-mom's eyes. They're already aware of things. Grace has the gift shield. Carlisle thinks they have some vampire in them because Sage drinks blood-"

I put my hand over Jacob's mouth to stop his rambling, "Calm down. I want to get my hands on them and then I'll ask the questions. You and everybody else has seen them. I'm the mother. It's my turn." I stated. He nodded, quickly getting up and walking out the door.

As I closed my eyes I heard Jacob say to whoever was holding them that I wanted to see them. There was groans and questions asked if they could come up and see me but Jacob said it would have to wait. I was glad. I selfishly wanted this moment to be between me, him, and our children.

"You tell Renesmee that she can wait. It isn't fair that you always come down exactly when I'm holding your angels." I heard Carmen tell Jacob. I imagined her pointing her finger in Jacob's chest and blocking him from getting whatever baby she held.

"Life's not fair." he joked instead.

"He's just being selfish." Karli mumbled to someone.

"Hey. Father trumps all." I heard Jacob say. Amazing how he's being so calm about it all.

"Something you haven't figured out yet, Jacob. Now if you will excuse us, me and my wife are going to see our daughter." Daddy stayed. I heard footsteps follow Jacob up the stairs. Now they have a lot more in common than it seems.

Jacob opened the door, easily holding a baby in his arms, and Momma came in holding the other as Daddy gently shut the door behind us. I had to ball my hands up in sheets to keep from snatching them from their arms.

"Are you sure your up to hit? You look like you're in pain." Jacob said. Of course his first worry would be of me.

"Yes, I am but I need to see them." I stated, struggling to sit up without wincing. Daddy put his hand on my back to help me and propped me up on pillows.

"Want to meet our daughter first?" Jake asked as he laid Grace in my heavy arms. He took Sage from Momma's arms and sat down next to me so I could also see my son too.

I looked at my beautiful daughter. My Grace Isabelle. She looked so much like Jacob that it was scary. She had my sharp features but had Jake's chin, nose, and both of our high cheek bones. She even opened her eyes, revealing light cinnamon brown.

Grace looked up at me and I let out a gasp. Momma, Daddy, and Jacob all tensed up but I shook my head, completely in awe. She seemed to know who I was. Maybe they do have some vampire in them.

"How is she so aware?" I asked. I glanced over at my son to see if he was doing the same things but he was sacked out in Jacob's arms. Grace was our night owl while Sage would be our early bird.

"We think that is where the vampire gene comes in. They act like normal, human babies but they seemed to be as much aware as you were when you were a baby." Daddy explained.

I ran the tip of my index finger down my daughter's nose, tears welling up in my eyes. I couldn't help but reach over and grab Sage's foot, rubbing my thumb back and forth on his smooth skin.

I couldn't help but smell something so delicious. Not human food but the agonizing fire that enflamed in my throat. And it was all coming from my daughter.

"At least we know she smells good." I joked.

All of a sudden I saw Momma got to grab my daughter but I hissed at her, "If you value those hands you will take them away from my daughter." I warned and then turned to Jacob, "Sit back down with my son or I will make you and you know I will."

Jacob cautiously did what I ordered him to do and I relaxed. I was relaxed enough that I let the tears come down now. I was finally with my wonderful Sage Edward and Grace Isabelle. They were healthy. They were here. It seemed I had to wait a forever to finally meet them. It was amazing. I was a mother. That one night where we thought nothing would happen turned out us creating two beautiful beings I loved so much.

"I've been waiting forever to meet you and your brother. I love the both of you very much." I whispered to Grace and planted a kiss on her forehead.

She scrunched up her face and started to let out a small squeal, reminding me of how a newborn baby kitten would cry. Eventually Sage joined in to his sister's discomfort.

"I'll go get the bottles." Momma said. She kissed my foreheads and then kissed her grandson and granddaughter and then disappeared.

I marveled at our perfect babies. That's what they were. Perfect. As I knew they would be. My son and daughter. Jacob's son and daughter. They were ours. Forever.

I turned to my father who looked down at my Grace and Sage. I could tell they had everybody wrapped. They already had me wrapped. I fell in love with them before but now it seemed like it was nothing compared to now. I never though I could love somebody as much as I loved Sage, Grace, and Jacob.

"So what do you think, grandpa?" I joked. My father completely looked the opposite of a grandfather. Carlisle didn't look like a great grandfather. But that was normal when you have a family full of vampires. Others just wouldn't understand.

"Beautiful." was all he said. I knew it was hard letting his little girl go and start a family of her own but he did. Now he has two, beautiful, amazing, wonderful grandchildren to spoil.

Pretty soon Sage and Grace let out a full blown cry. Daddy gave us the pacifiers to help while Momma dashed up the stairs. We switched babies so I would be able to hold Sage. That seemed to set them off even more that they weren't getting what they wanted that very second. I already know who has spoiled them. Everybody.

I stuck the bottle of milk in Sage's mouth and he squirmed as if I took my time. He started sucking it down quick and I couldn't help but scrunch up my nose at the smell.

"Why are you scrunching up your face?" Jacob asked.

"Because it stinks."

"You can't act like a half human for at least five minutes?"

I growled playfully at my Jacob and then laughed at my son, "Okay, Mr. Piggy, no need to act like your father. You have plenty."

Jacob nudged me and then looked down at Grace. She had his pinky wrapped around her little hand. Yep. Daddy's girl right there.

I took the time to soak in every feature of my handsome son. He and his sister sighed at the same time as if being adorable and cute was a hard job to do. He shared almost the same features as Grace but had more of my sharpness.

Jacob and I burped them and then let them eat more when Momma handed me a bottle filled with just a tad amount of blood. I guess Sage was a blood drinker. At least I have a hunting buddy.

"Do you need me to do it? If you're-" Momma started to say but I cut her off. I don't want anything to ruin this moment. Not even my need for blood.

"I'm fine." I stated as I switched bottles.

"So you drink blood, huh?" I said to my son. As I took out the bottle he smiled. I gave a wet laugh.

"So I've been knocked down on the totem pole?" Jacob asked as he brought Grace close to him.

Momma took Sage from me to my disappoint and helped Jacob get them ready for the night. Daddy saw my longing to be with Jacob and squeezed my hand.

"Let you body heal first before you start running miles." he said. I scooted down in the sheets, knowing he was right.

Grandpa came in to check on me. Even he was distracted by his great grandchildren. But he saw that I was in pain and gave me some medicine. Now I was one the verge of falling back asleep.

Whenever my Jake brought the babies back over to me I saw Sage had fallen back asleep and Grace's eyes were wondering around. Everybody decided to visit me then exactly in my out of mind state and held our babies as I laid my head on Jacob's shoulder, feeling everything kick back in.

When we were finally alone with our twins I turned my heavy lids over to Jacob. He was super tense when he held Grace but still had that intoxicating smile. I offered to hold Grace and him take Sage but he declined. (All my holding was letting my sleeping son lay on my chest and me have a hand on his back.)

He explained that normally he stays up until Grace falls asleep and gets up whenever Sage decides to. I was jealous of the bond he had before I even had the chance. Though, I had to understand. Our babies were irresistible.

"How long have you not phased?" I mumbled, barely able to keep my eyes open any longer.

Jacob shrugged, running his finger down his son's leg as I held Grace's hand. "Since you went into labor."

"Oh." Right now, I was so tired I didn't care if Jacob pushed it or not.

"You need to get some sleep." I heard Jacob say as I felt Sage being taken away.

"But I want to hold them a little while longer. They can sleep with us." I half awake begged.

"There's always tomorrow, Ness. They're here. They're not going anywhere."

"They weren't…anywhere…" I trailed as laid completely down and Jacob put the twins in the basinets I thought they were in an hours ago.

I managed to get a glimpse of my sleeping angels as Jacob kissed them both goodnight. They were ours. They were perfect and healthy. They were what saved us. It was a shock at first that I was pregnant when I couldn't be. It was a shock when I found out I was having two instead of one. But I wouldn't change a thing.

Jacob bent down and managed to kiss me on the lips but I couldn't move mine. He couldn't help but laugh. "I love you, my Nessie. You and our twins."

I wanted to say I loved him too and I wanted him to stay. Him crawling up in bed next to me and letting me rest against his body proved he felt what I wanted. So I curled up to him and let the drugs sweep me away.

I loved my new title. Being the mother of Jacob's twins was something I never thought would happen. But I loved it anyway.
