Chapter 34

Edward's POV

The sound of crying caused me to stop playing with my music on the piano and I looked at the clock. It was three o'clock in the morning and the rain has been pounding against the windows for days now. I walked out of my music room and turned a corner, walking inside to the big crib standing in the middle of the big room. It was Faith that was crying in the middle of the night and next to her, her brother, Julian, didn't make a sound. Whenever she cries, he doesn't and when he cries, she doesn't. It was a strange and I didn't understand it.

Carefully, I took Faith in my arms and sat down on the rocking chair, trying to stop her from crying. "Hush, now. It's okay. Daddy's here. Daddy's here." I tried to soothe her but it wasn't working. I haven't been able to read their minds since that night and I don't understand why I can't hear them anymore. It would be helpfully because I don't know if they're hungry, sleepy, or need a diaper change. Baby books are no longer being helpful.

"Edward?" I looked up and saw Rosalie standing near the door, wearing a beautiful silky nightgown. "Is Faith hungry?"

"I…have no idea." I admitted. "Where's Jasper?"

"I'm right here," Jasper's southern accent came in with Alice by his side. "What do you need?"

"I need help," I admitted showing him Faith in my arms.

He smiled –a laughing smile at me. "She's not hungry or cold or needs a diaper change. She's afraid of the lightening."

"But she's a week old! How can she be afraid so easily?" Rosalie asked.

"That's the beauty of life's nature." Jasper told her.

A flash of yellow appeared in the darkness and Faith cried harder, "Everything's okay. Daddy's here to protect you."

"I'll take her." Rosalie said –more like demanded and I handed her the baby.

"Hi, Julian!" Alice chimed in and took him, more like lifted him up in the air and causing him to smile at his aunt. "You are so cute with that outfit I put you in."

Jasper chuckled, "Alice you may have to change his clothes seeing as though he spit on it."

"Oh! Julian!"

I laughed softly and turned to my brother, "I'm going to…go visit Bella." I said and left before anyone could say a word.

I walked past my siblings' bedrooms and went straight to Carlisle's medical office. I opened the door and through the darkness, I see my Bella lying on a bed. Her long, brown hair spread around her like a dark pool and smelled like strawberries. Each day, Alice would change Bella's outfit to a beautiful dress and today she was wearing a dark blue dress showing her now skinny figure. My cold hands desperately wanted to touch her cheek but I was afraid that I would ruin her like she was a piece of expensive crystal, sculpture.

It's been a week since the birth of the twins and Bella went into a coma. Carlisle and Caleb tried to give Bella human blood when she was awake but it didn't work. I stared at the IV kit plugged into Bella's arms and the breathing tube on her nose. She looked like cancer patient but instead of drugs going into Bella's system, it was human blood. We all believed that with the human blood, Bella would be awake in no time but it's been days and nothing has changed.

How could this happen?

Bella is half werewolf and half vampire. She's immortal. My wife is an immortal trapped into a coma.

"Bella," It wasn't fair. She didn't get a chance to be with her children or to hold them. She doesn't get the chance to watch them sleep or smile or see how different they are. Esme and Rosalie have been taking the role as mother for the twins but it didn't feel right. That's Bella place, no other woman. She is the mother of my children. She is my wife.

"You know, who else will be here when you wake up? Our beautiful children." I said, almost smiling as I took her hand. "They're…both of them are amazing and perfect. But they need you, Bella. Our children need you…and so do I. Bella, you promised me that day of our wedding, remember? As long as we both shall live...our story is still being written, Bella." I said to her, remembering the words she once said to me.

"Our story is still being written, Edward and it will have an amazing ending. Everything will be okay."

My knees dropped down on the ground, still holding her hand and stare at her beautiful, angelic face. "Please, Bella. Do not give up on us. Faith and Julian don't even have middle names. We need to give them ones in order to be part of this family."

"Faith…"

A soft voice murmured in the room. I lifted my head and watched as Bella's fingers barely move in my palm. Carefully, I laid it on her chest and watched the rest of her ten fingers trying to move.

"Julian..."

"Bella, can you hear me?"

Slowly, a pair of chocolate brown eyes fluttered opened and Bella turned her head to the side, looking at me in a wondering gaze. "Where…are my…babies?" She whispered so softly that a human couldn't hear. Her fingers moved to touch my hand and I immediately grabbed it, kissing it.

"Carlisle! Carlisle!" I yelled, not caring if the babies were crying over the sound of my booming voice. Their mother is awake.

Bella is finally awake.

My Sleeping Beauty is awake.

"Edward, what's the –Bella?"

"She's awake, Carlisle! Bella's alive!" I laughed.

I gave my father some room to look over Bella, never leaving her side. Esme and Rosalie quietly came in with Faith and Julian. They were both fussing, probably wondering what's going on. I took Julian first and walked to my wife. "Bella, would you like to say hello to your son?"

Carlisle helped her sat up straight and carefully, I put Julian in Bella's arms. Tears started to form in her eyes as Julian stared at her. Suddenly, I heard it –the same voice as before when Bella was hemorrhaging.

"Mama," It was Julian's voice. In his thoughts and his eyes, he was looking at Bella and at her beauty.

"Edward, what's wrong son?" Carlisle asked.

"I can see Julian's thoughts." I told him, amazed. "How can this be?"

"I'm afraid I don't have the answer for that, Edward." Carlisle said but added a smile on his face. "At least now, your son is seeing his mother."

"Can I hold Faith as well?" Bella asked.

"Of course you can, Bella." Esme said as she carefully took the baby from Rosalie's arm and put her in Bella's arm. But Julian stayed with Bella.

"Hi…I'm your mommy." Bella whispered to them and smiled when Faith smiled back at her. "You were right, they are beautiful." Bella smiled and looked up at me. "I heard you….everyday I hear your voice…and I desperately wanted to wake up."

"How come you didn't?" Rosalie asked.

Bella's face expression quickly changed and looked back down Julian and Faith. "I saw Rebecca….she was warning me about something."

"You saw your biological mother?" I asked her. "What was the warning?"

Bella looked back at up and smiled happily, "I don't really remember much. But don't worry. It's probably nothing. Now, can I please change out of these clothes that Alice put me in?"

"How did you know it was Alice?" I asked smiling.

"You weren't the only person's voice I've heard for the last couple of days." Bella chuckled at me.

"I'll go and get your own clothing," Rosalie said and Esme left with her.

"Now, Bella everything seems to be back to normal. I believe the blood is finally helping you heal." Carlisle said.

Bella nodded, "Can you…take the stuff off of me? I don't need anymore blood and I don't want Jasper hurting again."

Carlisle nodded his head, "Of course. I'll be in my office if you need me."

I sat down next to Bella on the bed and watched her make happy faces at our children. Julian and Faith looked happy, for the first time they were actually laughing. It's a beautiful sound to hear. I kissed Bella carefully on the top of the head and whispered, "I thought I was going to lose you."

"You're not getting rid of me that easily, Edward Cullen."

I couldn't help but laugh, "As if I wanted to get rid of you. The twins wouldn't stop crying for days."

"That's how babies are." Bella laughed. "You read enough baby books and lived for a long time. And yet, you didn't know how much babies cry?"

"Jasper was getting a headache at days." I chuckled. "But we aren't sure if it's Julian or Faith who is empathic."

"We have many years for that. But for right now, say hello to Faith Elizabeth Masen Cullen and Julian Alexander Masen Cullen." Bella announced.

Both of the twins cooed at their names. "I think they like it." I said.

I looked down at Bella's brown eyes and saw true love in them. For the first time, in a long time I was truly happy with the woman I love…and with children. Who knew I would have children if I were stuck in a teenage body forever? Our dreams are coming true and nobody is going to take that away from us. I will make sure of it.

A/N: Yeah! Bella is awake and alive! She is immortal after all. But don't worry, the story is still continuing on.

A) Now would you think is going to happen next?

B) Who is the emapthic? Julian or Faith?

C) What do you want their powers to be?
