A/N: Heyyyy! Thanks for the reviews to the last chapter! I'm guessing that there's only about 4/5 chapters left :'(!
Shopping
Two Months Later- 17 weeks
I huffed down onto the seats at the diner. We had been shopping for nearly 2 hours and I was exhausted already. It was Saturday and unlucky for me Alice and Rose where both off work. Plus all the kids had come as well because the guys were all working today. So right at that moment I was 4 months pregnant with swollen ankles and being forced to shop with a bunch of kids under 10. Cue eye roll.
"Do they sell pancakes here?" I said as I lay down against the back of the seat.
"Bella, it's 2 0'clock. No one sells pancakes past 11." Alice asked as she slid in next to me.
"I'm so hungry! It's unbelievable but all I want is pancakes with lots and lots of syrup." The thought of it made me dribble and my tummy rumble. I guess I'd have to settle for a burger and coke.
"How have you been feeling Bella?" Rose asked as she brought back the food.
"I've been okay. I've had a few sicky mornings but other than that I've been fine." I answered.
"How about those hormones?" Alice asked.
"I've been feeling fine honestly." I answered.
"Your lucky. I bet you can remember when I was pregnant with the twins. I was horrible. I was cranky and everything anyone said I just wanted to rip their head off." Rose stated.
"When I was pregnant with Cal, I was really emotional. I used to cry all the time and I had the worse morning sickness, it lasted longer than it's supposed to." Alice said.
I had finished my food before Alice or Rose. I pulled out my phone and texted Edward,
E,
I'm being tortured!
I hate shopping!
B x
I smiled at Rose as she eyed up my phone. I felt it vibrate in my hand and opened the message.
B,
I've just had some kid throw up on me!
Your day can't be as worse as that!
E x
I smiled and wrote back
E,
If you say so!
I gotta go Rose is giving me the evil eye!
Luv You
B xxxx
I pressed send and slid it back into my pocket. I smiled sweetly as I looked up.
"You alright Bells?" Rose asked. I nodded. Alice returned to the table after she had disposed of our trays.
"I've just seen the cutest shop! We need to go in!" Alice said as she grabbed our bags and made her way out the door, beckoning for us to move as she did so. The kids ran after her. Rose smiled apologetically as she stood from her seat. I rolled my eyes. She laughed and held out her hand. I took her hand and we walked slowly after Ali.
"Be brave Bells and this will go faster." She said as we walked over to the shop. I noticed Nate, Cal and Leo all standing outside. I grimaced as we walked into the array of pink stuff. Clothes, shoes, cribs, prams, you name it and it was here and in PINK! I gripped onto Rose's arm tighter and she laughed at me. I shot her evils as we carried on walking. I bet you can guess where we found Alice? If you guessed clothes then well done you know our sister very well. She had been in the shop 5 minutes and already nearly had a whole trolley full of clothes and booties. I seriously hoped it was girls now because my poor son would be walking around in pink shit until he turned 10. Alice smiled at us as she walked forward.
"Bella, look how cute these are!" Alice said as she held up the cutest set of baby grows. One was pink with Butterflies and the other was yellow with Butterflies. I smiled at her and said I was going loo.
I walked out the shop and down the hall. I noticed a little shop that sold baby clothes and went inside. I decided to buy a few blue things just incase it was a boy. I picked up 2 little blue tops, jeans, blue baby grows and some little blue booties and went to pay. The women behind the desk smiled at me as I went to give her the items.
"First Baby?" She asked as she bagged up the clothes.
"Second and Third actually." I replied.
"Twins?" I nodded. Duhhh, people were so dumb sometimes. She priced everything up and I paid her the money. As I was walking out the store Nathan came running up to me.
"Hey Momma." He said as he took my hand.
"Hey Baby. What's up?"
"Nothing." He said as he tried to look inside the bag, "What's in there Momma?"
"Clothes for the new babies. Boy ones but you can't tell your Aunties." He smirked and nodded.
"Where's the other boys gone?"
"They were playing tag. I didn't want to." I nodded.
"Nate, Mommy's got to go toilet. Wait here for your Auntie's." Nate nodded. I kissed his head and dashed to the toilet.
I exited the cubicle and washed my hands. I felt much better after. I walked out the toilets and back over to the pink shop. Alice was waiting outside with about TWENTY BAGS full of clothes. I felt my mouth literally hit the floor. Who the hell could buy that much stuff in less than an hour? Alice could. I rolled my eyes and I walked over to her.
"Bella, where have you been?" She said with her hand on her hip. I opened my mouth to answer her but she carried on, "Doesn't matter, you're here now. I've got everything sorted up until the birth now. And we can come again after the birth." She loaded the bags off the floor and into a trolley that Rose had collected from some other shop.
We found the cars quickly. When we came that morning Nate and I had hitched a ride with Alice but because of all the shopping bags we went with Rose on the way back to mine and Edward's. It still felt weird saying mine and Edward's. It had been almost a month since Edward moved back in but it felt right for him to be there, it felt like he'd never been away. We pulled up outside and everyone piled inside. All the kids ran downstairs to the ball pit while the girls and I stayed upstairs so I could look at all the clothes she brought. I sat down on the sofa as Alice pulled out all the bags.
I don't know how long it lasted or how many items of clothing Alice had brought. I looked sideways at the mountain of clothes. I had a fear of it falling on me because I'd probably get lost or suffocate or something like that.
"Bella!" my head snapped around. "Where you even listening to me?" I shook my head. "I was saying that these," she held up a pair of jeans, "would go with this," she held up a white shirt which had a girl and a balloon on it, "and this could go on top." She held up a small white cardigan with flowers. It look so cute and for a change I was excited to see what it would look like.
"They're lovely Alice, thank you so much." I said. She shook her head as she told me it was no problem. "Ohh and these," another pair of jeans, "would go with this," she held up a blue and white t-shirt with ladybirds on it, "and this" she held up a tiny blue and white cardigan, "plus it would totally match with the other outfit." I grinned. I think that if my babies didn't have an auntie like Alice they would probably look extremely ordinary. I didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing.
By five o'clock Alice, Rose and the kids had left. I was lying on the sofa watching TV. Nathan was upstairs in his room. I heard the door open and the sound of someone stomping their feet.
"Bella?" Edward asked
"In the living room." I shouted back. He walked into the room a few seconds later, kissed my lips and then sat down besides my feet. He pulled them onto his lap and began to massage them for me. I couldn't help it when a moan passed through my lips.
"How was you day?" Edward asked.
"Chaotic." I smiled as I said it. "What about yours?"
"I had a five year old throw up on me, tell an old lady she has cancer and just to top it off I had to tell a 16 year old girl she's pregnant. She burst out crying and talking about how her mum was going to kick her out." He ran his fingers through his hair, I guess his day had been more chaotic than mine. I sat up and went to hug Edward but with my massive bump I could hardly get to him. I settled with a side hug instead, it was so much easier.
"It's okay Baby." I said as I kissed his cheek. I took his hand and walked through to the kitchen. "Come on, I'll make you some dinner. I bet your starving." I said as I opened the fridge.
I decided to make chicken pasta. It was quick but still tasty. Edward, Nathan and I were all sitting around the table eating.
"Bud, can you past the salt please?" Edward asked. Nathan nodded and past him the saltshaker. "How was your day Little Man?"
"It was okay. Don't like Shopping." He said as he shook his head and pouted
"You don't understand how much you liked like your mom when you do and say that." Edward chuckled
"Hey! I don't pout that much."
"Bella, Honey. Your pouting right now." I quickly moved my lips into a smiled and shrugged.
"He's right Momma. You are pouting." Nate grinned at me.
"Whatever. Is it pick on the pregnant Lady Day?" Edward laughed but shook his head.
"Babe, stop being so stubborn."
"Leave me alone Edward! I'm carrying TWO of your children." I moaned back to him.
"Sorry Babes. How are you feeling?" He asked.
"Fat! I can't fit into any of my clothes anymore! It's horrible." I moaned. I seamed to be moaning a lot lately.
"I think you look hot."
"Liar." I accused.
"No I'm really not. Just the thought of my baby growing inside of you turns me on." Edward winked at me. I think he forgot that Nathan was in the room with us. I blushed scarlet.
"Edward, there are ears in the room." I announced as I gestured my head towards Nathan. Edward blushed, something he never seemed to do.
"Oops sorry." He laughed. I stood from the table and picked up my plate. I asked Nate if he was done and when he said yes I picked it up. Edward went to give me his but I shot him an evil look. He laughed and walked over to the sink with his plate.
I was washing while Edward was drying and Nathan was putting them away. I was washing a plate in a circular motion when I felt a pain shoot through my belly. I jumped and dropped the plate I was currently cleaning.
"Bella Baby, Are you okay?" Edward asked with panic in his voice.
"They're kicking Edward." I screamed. "Come here." I grabbed his hand and held it over the spot where I felt the first kick. I felt the baby kick hard against his hand. I grinned. Suddenly I felt a kick on the other side. I grabbed Edward's other hand and moved it to the second spot. "The other one is kicking now." I felt the two kick simultaneously. I felt the tears to fall down my face.
"Momma, what's wrong?" Nathan asked.
"Nothing Baby." I said.
"But your crying." Nate said. I could sense the panic in his voice.
"Baby come here." I said. Nathan walked over to me, "Give me your hand," Nate put his hand in mine and I placed it over when the first baby had kicked. I felt it kick against his hand. Nathan pulled his hand back and stared at my belly. I laughed. "That's your baby brother or sister. They're showing us that they're okay." Nathan smiled and brought his hand back up to my belly. Nathan kissed my belly and said goodbye before running off upstairs. Edward moved his hand back to the spot where Nathan's hand had been. It didn't kick this time.
"I think they got tired." Edward said as he rubbed my belly. Edward pulled me close and kissed my lips. "They are strong Bells." I nodded. I wipe my tears with the back of my hand.
"Come on, let's finish putting the washing up away." I said.
We finished the washing within half an hour and we watched television for a while. At about 10ish I went up to sleep. Nathan was already asleep in mine and Edward's bed so I climbed into bed, trying not to wake him up.
"Momma?" Nate asked sleepily.
"It's only me Baby, go back to sleep." He nodded. I felt him curl up against my arm, I knew he was trying to avoid my bump so I pulled him in a little tighter.
"Night Momma." He said before falling straight back to sleep.
"Night Baby." I replied. I guess I fell asleep because the next thing I remember was when Edward sliding into bed. I felt it sink down on one side and turned my head to look at him.
"Hey." I whispered.
"Hey. Is Nate asleep?" Edward asked. I nodded. Edward kissed my lips then pulled my back against his chest.
"Night Belly." Edward said as his hand wound around to my front and laid his hands on my bump, "Night Babies."
"Night Eddie." I mumbled before I fell asleep.
