"Damn it! That hurts like hell!"
"Watch your language!" I screeched at Emmett while covering Annalea's ears. She's only 5 months old, but she pickes up things pretty fast...including bad language.
"Don't you dare talk about pain! Oh....AW!!!!!!! What the hell!" Rosalie screamed at the top of her lungs. Annalea looked around the room, confused at where the high pitch noise had came from, then when she realized her ears were now hurting, she started to cry.
"Oh, baby!" Rosalie cried crockadile tears from her labor and delivery bed, "I'm so sorry sweetheart, don't cry."
"It's ok Rose." Edward took Annalea from me and headed towards the hospital room door. "It was wrong of us to have her in here with you in the first place."
"Don't be absurd, I wanted all of my family.....Aw...aw....aw....AW!!!!!!!" Rosalie was breathing so hard, I actually thought about going to get her an inhaler.
"Rose, calm down." Oh. My. God. My brother did not just say that. What an idiot.
"What? What...did you just say to me Emmett?" Rosalie looked like a bad ass biker chick, sweat beads on her forehead, her blond hair in a lopsided ponytail, even her nail we turning white as she gripped onto the railing of her bed. "You think this is easy or something?" Her voice was full of venom. "Need I remind YOU that if it wasn't for YOU and your damn back messaged WE would not be here right now!"
"And now it's time for me to go see what my husband and daughter are up to." I skipped, Alice-style, out of Rosalie's hospital room.
"This is not some walk in the park!" Rosalie was letting Emmett have it...good. He needed to learn when and what to say at the right times, a talent he was not born with.
"See everythings ok sweetheart." Edward was sitting outside of Rose's room on a yellow and blue bench with Annalea on his lap, her breathing quicken and then slowed as she was forcing herself not to cry. I hated seeing her cry, my little girl, cute as a button, should not cry. She should smile and giggle and laugh.....anything but cry.
"It breaks my heart." I said as I sat next to my family. I wiped Annalea's fallen curl from her eyes. "Don't cry little baby, it's alright." Even though I was telling her not to cry, I was the one who was now feeling the sting in my eyes, the sure sign tears were on their way.
"Emmett's losing it in there." Edward bounced Annalea on his knee in attempts to brighten her mood....and mine. If my baby....if my family wasn't happy, I wasn't happy. If they were in pain, well then so was I.
"Yeah, well I think Rosalie is going overboard with this whole, 'Let's have a natural birth with no meds' thing. She's in so much pain right now," I shook my head, "I don't think she knew what she was getting herself into."
"There you are!" Esme called from down the hall breaking my train of thoughts about Rose and her wants of a natural birth. "How are they holding up?" She pointed to Rose's hospital room.
"Let's just say," Edward chuckled, "Emmett's in more pain that Rosalie I bet....." another chuckle.
"Edward Cullen....do not crack jokes at a time like this." Esme moved to that her right index finger was now pointing at her son while her left hand rested on her hip, the 'mother pose'. I wondered briefly if I would learn the 'mother pose' or was it something that came with time....with wisdom. "Oh," Esme relaxed her stance as she took note of Annalea. "What's the matter sweetheart?" She knelled down so she was on the same level as Annalea whose eyes were a little red and puffy from crying. "Are you getting sleepy?"
"Yeah, it's already an hour past her bedtime." Edward cradled Annalea closer to his chest, she fit just right.
"Sweetheart..."Esme patted Annalea's head in the perfect grandmother matter.
"I think it's going to be awhile before Rose gives birth, at least that's what the nurse told me." I explained to Esme.
"Do you want me to take her to Carlisle office? It's just 2 floors down and there is a sofa. She can rest." See...now that's why I love Esme so much! She's always got the best ideas!
"Yeah!" I smiled at my mother in law. "That would be great! Thank you!"
Edward handed Annalea over to her grandmother and before I knew it, Esme was taking her away, whispering things about butterflys and unicorns.
"Do you wanna search this place for some coffee?" I took hold of Edward's hand.
"Bella," He laughed. "Carlisle's been at this hospital for as long as I can remember, the coffee here sucks."
"Doesn't matter....any kind of caffine will do." I yawned.
"You could go home you know? You said it yourself, Rose isn't going to be in labor for awhile."
"No Edward, I want to be here for her...whatever she needs." My head turned from his gaze as another scream came from Rosalie's room. "Besides, I really think she's freaking out."
"Yeah, you're right about that." Edward agreed.
"Was I like that?" I questioned.
"Bella, you had a c-section remember."
"Yeah, but I mean I don't remember much about that day, except for you holding my hand...and well then seeing Annalea for the first time."
"No," He kissed my cheek then smiled. "You weren't like that. They gave you pain medication right away." He let out a deep sigh, "Which is why I'm not going home either, Emmett's is falling apart, I meant what I said, I honestly don't think he can handle this pressure. When he passes out...which he will, it's a Swan thing...."
"Wipe that stupid smirk off your face...."
Edward continued, ignoring me, "I'm the only one that has enough muscle to lift him up. Otherwise, he'd just be passed out, laying on the cold hard hospital floor until he comes around."
"Speaking of strong men... where is Jasper?"
"I called his cell, then Alice's cell, then their home number, but they aren't answering."
I thought about what Alice and Jasper could possibly be doing to keep them from answering a phone, it wasn't like it was too late in the eveing....mayber they were....stop that! I do not want to finish that thought. "Best not bother them right now." I blushed. "Did you leave a message?"
"Yup."
"Well, alright. I guess we could go get a soda or something, since you say the coffee is pure mud." I laughed at my own joke. "And I'm sure Emmett wouldn't mind something to drink. And maybe we'll find some ice chips for Rose."
"Yeah, cafeteria is on the second floor, we could check on Annalea while we're down there." Edward and I stood from our bench, headed toward the elevator but before we could push the 'down' button, we heard Rosalie scream at the top of her lungs, followed by Emmett's cursing, the something hard and hollow hitting the wall from inside of her room.
"Let's take the long way around," Edward ushered us toward the stairs, "and give the parents-to-be some privacy."
"Yeah...defiantly." I agreed.
So some people have asked why I haven't updated in awhile, and the answer is that I was busy with 'real' books. I just finished "Perfect Chemistry" by Simone Elkeles. By far, a great novel in deed. It's a Romeo and Juliet kind of love story, but believe me....it's no gushy gushy I love you and you love me kind of story. Set in a modern day Chicago suburb, Alex is Mexican and in a gang. Brittany is white, wealthy and a cheerleader. But there is alot underneath both of them. They don't fall in love at first sight, thank god, but their love is gradual and everything comes full circle at the end....it's worth the read...trust me.
If you guys are looking for books to read, I also suggest you check out "Evernight" and it's sequel "Stargazer" by Claudia Grey. BIG twist in the middle of Evernight that I DID NOT SEE COMING!
Besides, "Perfect Chemisty" "Evernight" and "Stargazer" I've also fallen in love with "Evermore" by Alyson Noel...it's just amazing....amazing! Beautifly written.
