As Carlisle was racing me down the hall to labor and delivery, my mind was going crazy with worry. I choked back a sob and reached my hand back. Edward clasped my hand and was saying something, but I was too far gone in worry to pay attention to what he was saying. He let go of my hand, as they led me into the operating room. They moved me to the table and rolled me to my side, so the anesthesiologist could give me a shot in my back. I gazed at Carlisle and he patted my hand.

"It's a spinal block. We got the baby's heartbeat stabilized at the moment, so we don't have to put you totally out. I'm going to poke you in the stomach. You need to tell me if it feels sharp, ok?"

I nodded and he started to poke me. As he poked me around my belly button, I felt a sharp prick.

"Sharp."

"Now?"

"Sharp."

The anesthesiologist administered another shot in my back and everyone waited for the second spinal block to take affect. After about ten minutes, Carlisle started to poke me again. As he poked about a half an inch above my belly button, I felt another sharp prick.

"Sharp."

"Now?"

"Still sharp." I cried.

He sighed and walked over to me.

"You need to relax, Bella. Obviously the spinal blocks aren't working. Since the baby's heart beat is still stable, we are going to let the spinal blocks run their course and do an epidural instead."

I started to get the shakes and looked at him, scared out of my mind.

"The shakes are from the medication. Your body is in shock. Just relax."

I nodded and tried to relax. After about fifteen minutes, the baby's heart beat started to decrease again. Carlisle ran over to the table and rolled me to my side, and the anesthesiologist placed the epidural into my lower back. He rolled me back onto my back and strapped my arms to boards facing away from the table. I looked at him in confusion.

"We have to strap your arms down, so you don't grasp your stomach when I reach in for the baby."

I nodded and he started poking my stomach again. When I didn't say anything, the nurses put up the blue tarp. The door opened and Edward walked in, wearing scrubs, hat and face mask, and sat beside my head. He leaned down and kissed my forehead.

"I love you." He whispered and I nodded.

"Ok. Bella you might feel some pressure in a couple minutes."

I nodded, even though he couldn't see me. Edward squeezed my hand as we listened to our baby's failing heart beat.

"Ok, Bella, here comes the pressure."

Edward kissed my hand and stood to look over the blue tarp. I started to feel immense pressure and it took my breath away.

"I cant breathe!" I shakily said.

Edward immediately looked at me in a panic.

"Uncle…""Edward, she's fine. Bella you need to take deep breaths. The baby's almost here."

I tried to take deep breaths, and squeezed Edward's hand. He looked back over the tarp with big eyes. About a minute past and a small cry filtered through the room.

"It's a boy!"

Carlisle passed our son to a nurse as Edward kissed me on the forehead. I looked up at him and saw tears falling down his face.

"Bella. Sit tight, hunny. I'm going to start closing you up."

"Ok." I said, shakily. "Is he ok?"

"Yeah. He's a little grunty, but he looks perfect."

I sighed in relief and wished I would stop shaking. After the nurses cleaned him up, they placed him into an incubator and wheeled him over to me.

"He's beautiful. How much did he weigh?"

"He weighed 6 pounds 9 ounces and was 19 inches long, Mrs. Masen. Congratulations." One of the nurses said. They started to wheel him through the doors and I looked at them, terrified.

"Where are you taking him?"

"We need to take him to the neonatal unit, since he was grunty, for a couple of hours."

"Oh."

I grabbed Edward's hand, and when he looked at me I said, "GO! Go with him."

"Love, everyone is out there and I know for a fact my mom, Aunt Esme, and Renee will be there."

Before I could say anything more, a loud cheer came through the door. Edward chuckled and shook his head.

"Well. Looks like the family just seen the newest Masen." Carlisle snickered.

After Carlisle was finished, I was placed back onto the stretcher and moved to a recovery room. After they transferred me onto the bed, they took the stretcher and left.

"You need to stay in recovery for an hour. I'll be back, I'm going to go check on my grandson/nephew."

Edward chuckled and sat beside me, taking my hand in his.

"Hey, Carlisle?"

"Yeah."

"Why was his heart beat decreasing like it was?"

"Well. The umbilical cord was wrapped around his shoulders and every time he moved onto it, it cut off his air supply, causing his heart rate to drop. Don't worry, he's fine now."

"Ok. Thank you."

"Your welcome." He said, shaking his head, smiling, and headed out the door.

The nurse placed another blanket on me and checked my stats.

"How are you feeling?"

"Tired. I wish I could stop shaking. It hurts my chest."

She nodded and wrote something down in my chart. After she was finished she walked over to a desk on the other side of the room, and sat down. About five minutes later, Esme, Liz, Renee, Alice, and Rose walked in. Edward got up and hugged each of them.

"He is so gorgeous, you two!" Alice cried.

"What's his name?" Rose asked.

"I don't know. I want to wait until I hold him." I said, fighting against the shaking.

"Carlisle filled us in on what all happened. Don't worry, dear, the shakes will go away. I had them when I had Edward." Liz said.

"I remember that. You know, your son looks like Edward after he was born." Esme said.

"So, when's the next one?" Renee asked. We all looked at her and gaped.

"Um. At the moment, NEVER." I stated.

Edward chuckled and shook his head. They left after another ten minutes, to go check on the kids and go see the baby. Edward sat back down, grasped my hand with his, and kissed me on the lips. He caressed my cheek with the back of his hand.

"I love you."

"I love you, too."

He chuckled and kissed me again, when Carlisle walked through the door, beaming.

"I can safely say, he is perfect. He's in there with all the nurses fussing over him." I smiled and squeezed Edward's hand. "Are you planning on breastfeeding, Bella?"

"Yeah."

"Ok. I'll let the nurse know and she'll come in and help you pump. For right now, we'll feed him through a bottle, until you're more comfortable."

"Ok. At least the shaking is starting to slow down."

He chuckled and walked out of the room. A couple minutes later, a nurse walked in and helped me pump my breasts. When she left with the breast milk, she had enough for a couple of bottles.

The rest of the hour, Edward held my hand, while kissing every part of my face. I started to dose off. I must have fallen asleep, because the next thing I knew, the door opened and a couple of orderlies walked in. Edward stood up as they covered me with another blanket and started wheeling me out of the room. They took me to the post partum area and took me into a private room. After they placed me into the bed, they left the room, and the whole family came in, excluding Carlisle.

"Mommy! I got a baby bodder!"

"I know, Hanna. Are you excited?"

She nodded her head, enthusiastically, and jumped into Edward's lap. She went to climb onto the bed and Edward pulled her back.

"You have to be careful, peanut. Mommy has a big owie."

She looked up at him and furrowed her eyebrows.

"Why?"

"Because Papa had to get the baby out."

"Oh."

Megan walked over and gave me a gentle hug.

"I love you, Mom." I kissed her cheek and wiped the tears from her face.

"I love you, too, Meg. What's the matter?"

"When they were taking you away, it scared me." She hiccupped.

"I know, sweetheart. It scared me too."

I looked over and noticed the boys whispering to each other.

"Matt. J.C.. Ethan. What are you whispering about?"

"We have a brother, right?" J.C. asked.

"Yeah." I said, confused.

"That means us boys outnumber the girls now."

I looked over and saw Edward chuckle.

"Um.. Yeah."

"That is soo cool!" J.C. said, while fist pumping the other two.

I shook my head and chuckled at their logic.

"What was that noise coming from the operating room?" Emmett asked.

"That was the monitor to keep track of the baby's heart beat." Edward answered.

"Really? His heart beat got that low?" He asked in shock.

"Yeah. At one point it dropped to fifteen."

"Oh, dear. Thank the good lord that he's fine, now." Esme cried. We all nodded our head, in agreement.

An hour later, there was a knock on the door and Carlisle walked in, pushing a basket in front of him.

"Look who wanted to meet everyone."

"My baby bodder!" Hanna squealed, hopping off of Edward's lap.

Everyone laughed and Edward stood and went over to the basket, gently picked up our son, and kissed his forehead. Since I was laying flat on my back, I couldn't get a good look at him, so Edward walked over, kissed his forehead again, and laid him in the crook of my arm. I looked down and tears came to my eyes. He was definitely one of the most beautiful babies I have ever seen.

"Edward?"

"Yeah, Love."

"Pull his hat up for a minute."

He chuckled and pulled the baby blue hat up on the baby's head. I gasped when I saw brown messy hair covering his tiny head. Edward leaned over and kissed my forehead.

"He definitely got my hair and your color." He chuckled and place the hat back down.

Fifteen minutes later, an orderly walked in and set a tray of food down. Edward picked the baby up and passed him to Liz. After she said a few quiet words to him, he wiped his eyes, nodded, and walked back over to me. He smiled and lifted the lid on the tray.

"Oh, yummy!" He said and rolled his eyes.

"What?" I asked.

"Well. You have red jello, juice, some kind of broth, and water."

I scrunched up my nose, causing everyone to chuckle.

"You're on a liquid diet for now." Carlisle explained.

I nodded and turned my attention back to Edward.

"Which of these appetizing items would you like first, Love?" Edward asked, sarcastically.

"Um…the jello."

He picked it up and fed it to me, while everyone passed the baby around. It was definitely hard to eat laying down, but with Edward's help, it was bearable.

After I was done, Carlisle walked up to me and patted my numb leg.

"I'm going to give you a shot for the pain…." I started to interrupt him, but he held up his hand and continued. "You will thank me when the epidural wears off. Edward, roll her carefully on her side for me."

Edward, carefully rolled me over on my side and Carlisle gave me the shot. Luckily, I was numb and didn't feel anything. Edward rolled me back onto my back and kissed my nose. Emmett walked over and handed Edward the baby, while everyone got ready to head home. I looked around and noticed Hanna and Brea were sleeping. Everyone, except Charlie, Sue, Renee, Phil, Carlisle, Esme, Ed, and Liz, gave Edward and me a hug and kissed the baby goodbye. The kids were going to stay with Emmett and Rose tonight.

An hour later, a nurse walked in and had me sit on the side of the bed. It was harder than hell, but I successfully made it. I sat there for five minutes and she had me lay back down. Luckily, I didn't have to lay flat anymore, so I sat up and cradled the baby in my arms. He started to whimper and Edward took him from me, walked over to the basket, and changed his diaper. By the time he was finished, the baby was red faced and wailing. Edward chuckled, swaddled him back in his blanket, and brought him back over to me. I looked over at Charlie, Carlisle and Ed and noticed they had turned their backs, so I could get him ready to eat, in privacy. It took a moment for him to latch on, but when he did, he suckled furiously. Edward draped a blanket over him and the guys turned back around and smiled.

"You guys didn't have to turn around. You couldn't see anything. I'm a pro at this."

They chuckled and nodded.

"I should have remembered from when you had the others." Carlisle chuckled.

"You breast fed all of your children?" Liz asked.

"Yeah. But I was only allowed to until they were six weeks old." I said and rolled my eyes.

"Why is that?" Renee asked.

"Jacob said they were his at that point."

"Oh." She said.

I heard Edward mumble, "Fucking dick." and I squeezed his hand. He looked up at me and gave me a small smile. Esme walked over to Carlisle and whispered something to him. He nodded and they both looked back at us, smiling.

"What does everyone want to eat?" She asked.

"Let's go somewhere and we'll bring Edward back something." Liz suggested.

"Ok. Dear, what would you like?"

"Get me anything, Aunt Esme. I'm not picky."

"Ok."

Everyone kissed my forehead and hugged Edward. As Carlisle kissed my forehead, he whispered, "I'll bring you back something, too. I want you to try some solids, now." I nodded and they left the room and closed the door.

I lifted the baby to my shoulder and got three good burps out of him. I placed him on my other breast and he latched on immediately, causing Edward and I to laugh. I looked up at Edward and leaned forward for a kiss. After the kiss, he sat back and smiled at me.

"What should we name him, Love?" He asked. I looked down and gazed at our son's face.

"Would you be upset if I want to name him Edward?"

Edward chuckled and shook his head.

"No. I wouldn't Love. So, his first name is Edward." I nodded. "Edward what?"

"Um..How about…..Carlisle?" He pursed his lips together and thought about it.

"Edward Carlisle Masen." He scrunched up his face.

"Yeah. Doesn't sound right, does it?" He shook his head, sighed, and ran a hand through his hair.

"Well. We can't use Charlie, that's J.C.'s middle name. Anthony's out. That's Ethan's middle name. I don't know." I said.

"What about Edward Cullen Masen?" I let it roll on my tongue a couple of times.

"I like it. We could call him E.C. for short, too. That way we have an Ed, Edward, and E.C. What do you think?"

"E.C. Masen…Yeah, that could work. Or little Ed."

"I like them both. Lets wait and see what everyone calls him." He nodded and kissed me gently.

"How are you feeling?"

I shrugged and started to place baby Edward on my shoulder, but Edward held out his hands and took him from me. He preceded to burp him and got another four out of him.

"Do you want to hold him again or do you want me to lay him in the basket?"

"Place him in the basket for now. I'll hold him again, in a little bit." He nodded and placed him in the basket.

After he sat back down, I looked over at him and bit my lip.

"What?" He chuckled.

"Do you want to get him circumcised?" He flinched and shifted in his seat, causing me to chuckle.

"Um…That's up to you, Love. Ethan is. Are J.C. and Matt?"

"Yeah. Which procedure do you want to have done?" I asked, just to see him squirm.

Before he could answer, the door opened and a nurse walked in. Edward immediately relaxed and I chuckled.

"Heavy conversation?" The nurse smirked.

"Yeah." Edward said and ran a hand through his hair.

"Circumcision." I chuckled, causing her to chuckle.

She walked over and checked my temperature and blood pressure. She then lifted the blanket and felt around the incision site.

"Ok. Everything looks good. Dr. Cullen will be back later, to take a look."

"I know. He'll be back after he eats dinner."

"How did you know?"

"He's my husband's uncle."

"Oh. You're the Masens." Edward and I both nodded.

"Ok. I'm Trisha. I'll be your nurse tonight. Does this little guy have a name yet?"

"Yeah. Edward Cullen Masen. But don't say anything to anybody."

"I won't. That name fits him perfectly." She smiled.

She walked out of the room and Edward walked into the bathroom. A couple minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." I said, confused, when no one entered.

To my complete surprise, Jessica Stanley and Kate Moss walked in. Edward's basket was right next to my bed and I, carefully, leaned over and picked him up.

"Hi Jessica. Kate."

"Hi Bella. We heard you had a baby and wanted to see for ourselves." Kate said.

"Where's your fuckhot husband?" Jessica asked.

I furrowed my eyebrows as Edward exited the bathroom.

"Love?" He started to say, but stopped when he noticed our guests.

He rolled his eyes, walked over, kissed baby Edward on the forehead, me on the lips, and sat down.

"Kate. Jessica. This is my husband, Edward Masen."

"Oh. We know Edward." Jessica said.

I looked over at Edward and he rolled his eyes again.

"How's your husband, Jessica?" He asked.

She stood there in shock and quickly turned and walked out of the room. Kate waved, seductively, at him and followed her out of the room.

"How do you know them?" I asked.

"Emmett did a consult for Jessica and her husband earlier this year. And I had the great pleasure of meeting Kate, the morning after you were admitted. Those two are a real joy." He said sarcastically.

I yawned and Edward took baby Edward from my arms. After he placed him back in the basket, he kissed my forehead.

"Shut your eyes, Love. Your exhausted."

"No. I want to wait until everyone gets back." As soon as I said this, the door opened and Carlisle, Esme, Liz, and Ed walked in.

"The others headed home. They'll be back tomorrow." Carlisle said and handed Edward a takeout container.

Esme came over and placed a container on my tray and whispered, "I smuggled some goodies in there for you."

"Thank you." I said and smiled at her.

I opened the container and saw that there was mashed potatoes, baby carrots, chicken, and two brownies.

After I ate about four bites of my mashed potatoes, I closed the lid and pushed my tray to the side of the bed. I looked at Edward and saw that his was almost gone, causing me to chuckle. He looked up and shrugged.

"I was hungry. It was a long day."

I turned toward the others and said, "The baby has a name now."

"What is it dear?" Esme asked.

"Edward Cullen Masen." Edward said.

Liz and Esme wiped their eyes as Ed said, "Perfect. The perfect blend of the two families while carrying on the Edward name."

You could see the pride in Ed and Carlisle's eyes. About a half an hour later, I couldn't keep my eyes open, so Carlisle came over and gave me two pain pills and I fell asleep.
