EPOV

"You can do this, baby, just one more push." I urged Bella who was panting hard after her latest push.

She just scowled at me as she gripped my hand in hers and pushed with all her might. "I just want her out." She ground at as she took a deep breath to push again.

"Okay, Bella, you can reach down and feel her coming out if you want to." Dr. Gregory said from her position between Bella's legs.

Bella reached down and a small smile spread across her face as she felt the top of her head. It was pretty amazing to see my baby girl being born. I didn't have the opportunity to do all of this with Gavyn so I was relishing every moment of Arianna being born. "Wow, she's got a head full of hair Bella." I told her as I watched my baby girl sliding from her body.

"Okay daddy, you get to cut the cord." Dr. Gregory said as she suctioned out Arianna's nose and mouth before laying her atop Bella's stomach. "She's a healthy one too, guys'!"

I smiled and took the scissors she handed me and followed her instructions as I officially freed her from her momma's body. Her first little wails filled the delivery room and caused tears to spring to my eyes. "Baby, you did it." I told Bella as I pressed a million kisses to her sweaty exhausted face as the doctors wiped Arianna clean. Bella had been in labor for over 24 hours and it had been exhausting for both of us. Dr. Gregory laid our beautiful bundled up daughter on Bella's chest so we could both admire her.

The next few hours were a blur as people came in and out to see the newest addition. Now it was just our little family; me, Bella, Gavyn, and Arianna. "Monkey, look at your baby sister." I told Gavyn as I sat beside Bella on the bed with Gavyn in my arms.

He just babbled away as he looked at Arianna. "Yeah, that's your sissy." I told him as I gently sat him on my lap and wrapped an arm around shoulders.

"Swap me." Bella said as she reached out to tickle monkey causing him to laugh and reach for her. "I need some monkey time."

I took Adrianna in my arms as I stood from the bed walking to the windows to give momma and son a few minutes alone. Gavyn has been with his Aunt Ali and Uncle Jasper since we came into the hospital yesterday morning. "Are we keeping him here with us tonight?" I asked Bella as I gazed at my beautiful daughter who was staring back at me intently. Like her brother she had a head full of hair but hers was red and straight from what I could tell right now but time would truly tell.

"What do you think, monkey, wanna stay with momma, daddy, and sissy tonight?" She asked him causing him to lunge at her wrapping his arms around her neck nesting his head into her neck. I cringed when I saw Bella's brief glimpse of pain from Gavyn lunging at her but she just smiled at me that it was all okay.

I chuckled. "I guess that is a yes." I told her as I went to lay Arianna down in her little plastic crib that the nurses had brought her in in earlier. "I will get his playpen set up." I told Bella as she cuddled Gavyn close to her as he drank his last bottle of the day. "I'm glad Rose thought to bring us his from the house." I told her once I had it set up and his blankets that he slept on every night spread in the bottom along with his monkey.

"Me too. I had a feeling Rose knew he wouldn't want to leave us after being away from us all day yesterday, last night, and most of today." Bella said as she sat his empty bottle on her bed tray before patting his bottom gently to lull him on into a deeper sleep.

I just laughed as I wound up his monkey to start playing the piano music that he slept to every night before going to grab him so I could lay him down for the night. "Come on, monkey, let's go to bed." I told him softly as I laid him down placing his monkey in his arms and covering him with his blanket before kissing him gently on top of his soft curls.

"Can you believe we are now the parents of two babies?" Bella asked as she scooted over in the bed so I could lay down behind her. Just as I went to pull my legs up on the bed Arianna let out a little cry causing me to hop up and go get her before she woke Gavyn.

"I can now. Do you think she's hungry again?" I asked Bella as I cuddled Arianna close to my chest.

Bella shrugged and held her arms out for her. "I will try to feed her again but she doesn't seem to want to latch on." She said in frustration.

I nodded, kissed my daughter on top of her head and passed her to her mother. I stood back and watched as Bella pulled her gown aside and tried to urge Arianna to latch onto her nipple. After a few minutes they were both crying out their frustrations so I fixed a bottle and went to scoop them both up in my embrace. "It's going to be okay, baby. Maybe your milk supply hasn't come in yet like the lactation specialist said earlier today." I told her softly as she fed her the formula bottle.

She nodded. "I'm not worried about it, really, I just wanted to try it. We both know that breast milk is better but obviously Gavyn is a show that formula fed babies are healthy too. How hard do you think it's going to be with both of them?"

I chuckled. "I don't know but I have a feeling getting this one on a schedule similar to her brother's is going to be key to making it easier." I told her as I cuddled against her side gently because I was sure she was sore from giving birth to our beautiful yet big 10 pounds 5 ounce 22 inch long daughter who was actively sucking on her bottle greedily. "Can you believe she is so big? I don't think she's gonna fit in the newborn clothes we have at home."

She just laughed. "It was a shock to see her so big because I only gained twenty five pounds while pregnant and she was ten of those." Bella said quietly as she settled closer against me while readjusting Arianna to burp her.

Before I could say anything a nurse peeked her head in the door. "Are you guys okay?"

We both nodded at her. "Yeah, we're fine."

"Okay, I was just checking on you guys. Do you want me to take the baby to the nursery for the night so you can get some rest or are you guys going to keep her?"

"Keep her." Bella said instantly, glaring at the nurse.

The nurse just chuckled. "That's fine just page me if you need any help during the night." She said quietly.

I just laughed. "Not our first rodeo, we have a son who will be nine months old in a few days also." I told her as she backed out of the door with wide eyes.

"I think you blew her mind when you told her about Gavyn because my medical records say this is my first pregnancy and birth." Bella said as she handed Arianna to me and yawned widely.

I shrugged my shoulders as I went to put Arianna back into her crib before crawling in behind my wife and snuggling close. "I love you, Isabella Masen." I whispered into the back of her neck.

"I love you too, Edward Masen. Thank you for giving me something good to believe in."

"Bella this outfit is too small on her, her feet are in a bind and she doesn't like it. I'm going to run over to the store and pick her up some clothes that aren't newborn sized." I told Bella as I tugged the too tiny sleeper back off of my unhappy baby girl.

"No need, Rose brought me a few of the open ended sleeper dresses we got at the baby shower." She said as she handed me an open ended sleeper dress that neither one of us preferred on a normal day. "It will work until we get out of here and get to the store." She said as she resumed packing up Gavyn's things so we could head home.

We had all been cleared for release, we were just waiting on Bella's 'transport' even though she seemed like she didn't need it. "Okay, are you sure you want to go shopping with me? Aren't you sore?" I asked her as I slipped the little dress over Arianna's held just to earn a scowl from both mother and child.

"I'm fine, Edward. Maybe the walking will help me feel better, I'm stiff from laying in that bed for three days and my muscles are sore from labor but other than that I can walk just fine." She snapped at me as she continued packing the huge diaper bag we had gotten for both babies so we wouldn't have to carry two of them.

I sighed because I knew her hormones were still a little out of whack from giving birth. "I'm sorry, baby. Are we still on for dinner and a movie this weekend since we missed Valentine's day?" I asked her as I picked up Arianna to place her in her car seat.

"Yeah, I still can't believe she went almost a full two weeks past her due date. Seemed like she was determined to make Valentine's day memorable for the rest of our lives." Bella said just as the transport guy came in with a wheelchair earning him a scowl from my lovely wife.

"Well at least she's here now. She's a love baby." I said as I kissed her gently on top of her head before covering her with a thick blanket to block out the cool air outside.

Bella just laughed as she scooped up Gavyn into her lap before sitting in the wheelchair. "Come on, monkey, let's go for a ride." She said to the transport guy who looked, honestly, a little scared of my wife.

"She's harmless, I promise, she's just protective." I told him as I slung the diaper bag over my chest before picking up Arianna's car seat and Gavyn's play pen that has been folded down into a carry-on. "Lead the way."

Shopping with a newborn and an almost nine month old who had been away from his home for a few days was definitely a learning experience. "What all do we need until we can get home and see what of hers fits?" I asked Bella as she slowly pushed the buggy with Arianna's carrier sitting in the front and I carried Gavyn through Wal-Mart.

"I guess just some sleepers since it's still cool outside, some bigger socks, bigger diapers, and some more formula." She said as she thought of the things we needed for the immediate time being.

"Okay. Are we going with size 1 diapers instead of Newborn diapers?" I asked her as I headed in that direction.

She nodded. "Yeah. Be sure to grab-"

"Gavyn some too, I know." I told her with a smile as I rounded the end of the diaper aisle.

The next few weeks were a little frustrating because no matter what Bella tried she just couldn't get Arianna to latch on and breast feed so we had to decide to go ahead and formula feed her which we weren't worried about because Gavyn was formula fed also. I think the most amazing thing was watching my two kids interact with one another. Every time Arianna would cry or whimper Gavyn would crawl over to where she was at and babble away loudly until somebody came and checked on her or she quieted down.

I groaned as I heard Arianna cry through the baby monitor. I cracked open one eye to see that it was bright and sunny outside before rolling out of bed. I loved that both of my babies slept through the night early on, Gavyn at a little over three weeks and Arianna at a few days. Poor Emmett and Rose were still suffering through sleepless nights because Blakely still woke up every four to five hours. "I'll get her, Edward, you have been getting up with them both for days now." Bella said around a yawn.

I chuckled. "Nonsense, baby, you are exhausted with both babies being sick these past few days. I've got her and it is your birthday today so you get to chill out and relax." I told her with a quick kiss before tucking her back deep within our blankets.

"Okay, love you." She mumbled already half asleep again.

"I love you too, baby." I smiled as I grabbed the monitor for Gavyn and quietly left our bedroom and headed for Arianna's nursery at the end of the hall. "What's wrong with daddy's lady bug?" I asked her as I picked her chunky little body up out of her crib.

She was now six weeks old and weighed a whopping 19 pounds according to her doctors' visit the other day. She just cooed at me as I picked her up and cradled her close to my chest as I grabbed a clean diaper so I could change her bottom before closing her sleeper again. At six weeks old she was already into the three to six month old clothes and could fit into most six month old clothes perfectly. "Are you hungry, lady bug?"

I lightly trudged down the stairs so as to not wake anybody up. Today was an important day and I wanted all the babies to be in good spirits. Today was Bella's birthday and I had something special planned for her while Jasper had taken Alice for a trip back to Chicago for spring break. "Come on baby girl, let's go let you lay with momma while I get bubba up." I told her as I heard him babbling through the baby monitor attached to my hip. He wasn't exactly ready to get up yet but he was working on it. Bella and I both realized that he liked to just lay there and chill out when he first woke up so we normally just let him babble away until it started turning to whines or we heard him standing up in his crib. I kicked the baby gate shut as I stepped off the top stair because once sat on the ground Gavyn could disappear in a quick second. Baby proofing had taken over our house completely when Blakely started crawling week before last because we now had two mobile babies in the house instead of just one. Emmett and I had spent an entire day baby proofing the entire house while the ladies took all the babies to the baby gym downtown for a little exercise and play time.

I burped Arianna as we walked into the bedroom where Bella was laying wide awake despite me telling her to go back to sleep. "You were supposed to sleep in this morning." I told her as I situated Arianna against my vacant pillows so she could just chill out for a bit or most likely fall back asleep.

Bella just shrugged her shoulders as she stroked Arianna's arm. "I heard Gavyn babbling away across the hall so I knew it was just a matter of time before he demanded some attention." She said in way of explanation.

I just shook my head as I leaned over Arianna until I was almost nose to nose with my lovely wife. "I love you, baby. Happy birthday." I whispered before kissing her passionately, lips sliding, tongues gliding, teeth nipping.

"Mmm…I love you too, Casanova." She whispered when we separated because of need for breath.

"Mamamamama!" came from my hip and from across the hall causing us both to look wide eyed at the other.

"Did he?" Bella asked quietly as I pulled the monitor from my hip and turned it up as he continued to babbly away.

I scowled at the thing because the kid was going to cause me to lose $50, which is what the bet between Bella and I over his first word was. "He wouldn't." I told her playfully.

"Mama!" It came again causing me to groan and flop to the bed in defeat as Bella bounded from the bed heading straight for Gavyn's room singing 'Happy birthday to me!' along the way.
