Okay, so I may have gone a little crazy for a while. And when I say a little, I mean a lot.

It was so worth it.

Every icy-hot minute of it.

Edward and I had been blessed with the most beautiful set of twins. Of course, I'm still weird even when I'm being weird and so we had a set of identical fraternal twins. Seriously. Exact duplicates of one another – except on was a boy and the other was a girl. So there were obvious differences, but other than that, you couldn't tell them apart. I spent a few minutes hoping Alice wouldn't find matching dresses for my son and daughter.

They had no heartbeat, they didn't want a thing to do with formula, and they definitely weren't human. Score one for vampirism – no diapers.

Score two? One hour later I was back to my general frozen state. No stretch marks, no excess skin (eww), and all pain resided.

The babies were already growing and it had only been an hour. That didn't really surprise me considering my two and half month pregnancy. Not in the least – but these two looked already a few weeks old. They were vampires, who grew, who changed. They were different in other ways, as well. For one, they had green eyes. That didn't change, even after they 'ate'. They also slept. They were sleeping right now. I was absolutely ecstatic about that. I wondered if they would always sleep. How often they would sleep. How long their always would end up being. I think too much.

We hadn't seen Nico yet; she was recovering and getting to know her own baby. I think. No one has told us anything about them – I'm running off the assumption that she delivered when I did. I could hear the pack pacing back and forth from my door to hers – waiting for one of us to talk to them. Esme, Jane, Heidi, Alice, and Jasper where there as well – waiting with the pack. Rose and Emmett had taken off as soon as Carlisle had told them all was well to, I assume, try out the 'maybe after we deliver' theory. Alice was knocking on the door occasionally screaming something about pictures. I don't know where Dem was but I think I heard him earlier, chuckling during a hit list or world domination plan. I'm not sure.

Edward could actually catch glimpses of pictures and random, wordless thoughts from the babies. Carlisle was already running tests. They didn't have any venom on their teeth, as of now. He brought in a cup of human blood – basically, to begin learning how it was we were supposed to control them. Surprisingly, neither one had a taste for it. According to Edward, anyways.

Carlisle has a theory (go figure) that because I avoided it before and during my pregnancy, like Edward did, they never acquired any taste or desire for it. Which is great. Secretly, I was thrilled about both the venom and blood situations. Well, it's not a secret; all of us were thrilled about that. The more secretive part was that I had been worrying about one of my children biting one of my best friends. That would totally stink.

Alice knocked on the door. Again.

"Go away Alice."

"I want to meet her." Okay, obviously Carlisle hadn't given them any more information on us than he had given us about Nico. Good.

"You mean you want to meet them?"

"WHAT!?!"

I chuckled at her response, "Go get Marcus and the rest of the Cullens -then you all may come in and we'll talk."

She didn't even bother to respond before she took off to find my father and siblings and retrieve them. It took only seconds before she was back at my door and knocking again. Edward let them in and we all began to converse. I swear, if Marcus could have cried he would have. He looked as if he were in complete awe of his grandchildren. He should be. They're beautiful.

"So what are their names?" Alice asked, while bouncing up and down with Jasper – who, I'm sure, just couldn't control Alice at the moment. Bouncing wasn't really his style.

"Well, our daughter," Edward smiled when he said those words, "We have already named. As far as our son, I'm not sure if Bella has thought of a name or not."

I nodded eagerly. "Actually, I have. I was thinking," I hesitated – it's quite the unusual name, "Jace Charles Volturi Cullen?" Edward nodded in approval. I think that's what it was. "And as for our beautiful daughter, we have already agreed on the name. Elizabeth Esmee Didyme Cullen."

Alice, Esme, and Jazz were on the brink of tears themselves – along with Marcus, who was even more worked up than before - while Edward and the rest of the Cullens thought about the names.

"What does Jace mean?" Edward and Rose asked at the same time. That had been an eventful day so I guess they probably didn't catch on.

"Jace is a combination of Alice and Jasper's names that we came up with for one of our school days. I thought it was beautiful – and I thought our son should have a namesake from his godparents." I mumbled the last part, hoping that would be okay with, well, everyone.

It was. Alice and Jasper were ecstatic. Marcus was still sobbing joy. I must say, it was weird, to say the least, to see him like this. Carlisle and Esme were overjoyed, as to be expected. I still had more to talk about though.

"Edward, could you let me talk to Rose, Emmett, and Carlisle alone? Please?" I had already explained to why I would want this time alone with them, so he just nodded and followed the others out of the room.

"Hey guys," I waved timidly. "I wanted to explain about the names-"

Carlisle interrupted me, "No need. They both have my name with them. I understand completely, Bella." He smiled at me. He would understand.

"Okay, thank you." I turned to Rose and Emmett, "It was very important to me to name them after Elizabeth and Charlie. They were both the parents we hardly knew. I hope you guys understand that. I have no intentions of leaving you out," I smiled, "I would love it if you two would be Elizabeth's godparents. I know they won't have godparents in the traditional sense, but I was hoping to count on you to help her through life – you know, when we couldn't. Rosalie, you would be able to teach her to be strong, confident, and fierce. To hold her head high when everyone else thinks she should bow down. Everyone knows, with her insecure parents, she'll need that." Rose giggled at that. "Emmett, you make the best out of life no matter what. You can lighten any situation and you tend to bring out the good in people. You are both fiercely protective of your family and have such strong personalities; I would be honored if you would do this for me. "

They both nodded through the sobs and Carlisle looked immensely proud. They each hugged me before they left. Edward stepped back in the room and told me Nico and her babies would like to see me. Babies. We can't do anything differently can we?

Those two kids were too adorable. Their heart rate sped faster than any human and they too looked identical, with the exception of being one boy and one girl. We had only heard one heartbeat because theirs beat together. In such perfect sync, we couldn't even distinguish the difference.

They both had chocolate pools in their eyes that matched what Nico and I once had. They didn't like formula either – according to Edward they actually thought 'ick'. They weren't human by any means. They were definitely wolfpires. Growing at the same rate as mine, it seemed. The only true difference was the heartbeat.

The single heartbeat shared by William Phillip Volturi Black and Jalie Renee Volturi Black.
