Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or any of the characters and the idea of this story came from keep austin wierd's story 'Thanks To The Children'. I didn't steal it.
Last Chapter
"We have to tell them together." Edward whispered in my ear.
Chapter 27
Edward's Point of View
"Fine." Bella sighed. She rested her head on my shoulder and I looked at our kids. Todd, Hayley and Carolina had seen us cuddling like this usually when watching movies, so it was okay for them to see us like this now.
"Kids, Bella and I have something that we want to tell you…"
"We got that much, daddy!" Hayley whined.
"Yeah, tell us the news!" Carolina added. Todd just stayed quiet, as usual. He wasn't a very social child like Hayley or Carolina...I guess he takes after his mom, Bella never really liked going to lots of parties and stuff.
"Bella and I are getting married." I said quickly.
"Yay!" Hayley and Carolina squealed while Todd stayed quiet and smiled at us.
"So Bella will be our new mom?" Carolina asked sounding very excited.
"Yes, she will."
"So we won't need a nanny?" Hayley asked.
"No."
"And you'll be my dad?" Came the soft voice of Todd.
"Yeah, sweetie." Bella replied groggily. I looked at her and saw her eyes closed. "Right…now the news is out…I'm going back to bed." Bella announced as she stood up. I let her go willingly.
"But mom!!" Carolina whined. I smiled at how they were already calling Bella mom.
"Just leave her, Carolina. She hasn't been getting enough sleep lately." I told her softly as I stroked her hair.
"Blame it on your brother-in-law's wife!" Bella yelled back as she walked into the bedroom. I chuckled softly.

Bella woke up again at around eight because Hayley and Carolina were jumping on the bed, again.
"Why is everyone trying to wake me up by jumping on the bed?" Bella complained as I handed her a cup of coffee.
"I don't know. Maybe because it's fun?" Bella rolled her eyes and kept drinking silently. I wrapped my arm around her shoulders as she leaned into my side. I gently rubbed my hand up and down her arm.
"Why is Alice making you tired?" Hayley asked Bella. Bella waved her hand.
"Parties, anniversaries…she's making me her personal organizer, seriously!" Bella explained. I rolled my eyes and sighed.
"That's Alice for you."
"Not to mention the amount of shopping we did last week! You won't believe how many shops she dragged me to just to get the perfect outfit for our date last night!" Bella groaned at the memory. I rubbed soothing circles into her back.
"Don't worry, love. She won't bother you today. We're going to spend the day together. Just the five of us." Bella smiled at the thought.
"That's a nice idea."
"Yay! Can we go to the park?" Carolina asked with a lot of enthusiasm. Bella laughed.
"Of course!" She replied happily.
Bella's Point of View
"Come on daddy! You're so slow!!!" Hayley complained as she tugged on my hand to get us to our favourite eating-place. I looked behind me to see Edward slowly coming as he carried the picnic rug, the basket filled with food and drinks and some toys for the kids to play with. Carolina was already ahead of us and Todd was sticking close to my side. Soon we were all set up and eating quietly.
"Daddy! I wanna go play on the playground." Carolina said.
"Why don't you take Hayley and Todd with you?" Edward suggested. Carolina smiled and grabbed Hayley and Todd to go with them. Todd was a bit reluctant to go with them seeing as they were girls and he was a boy and he might feel a little left out. Edward and I continued to sit and watch our kids playing on the playground.
A/N: Someone asked if I am going to stop this story. I am going to continue it as I write my new story.
