Bella's POV
Three Months Later (9 Months)
I was laying in our bed, only I wasn't laying with Edward I was laying with Emmett, we were both sleeping. I was laying on his chest and he had one arm wrapped around me, Edward was in a different state, he took the kids up for a little trip in the next state. He wanted to take them to see one of their favorite bands play, only there wasn't any shows playing in this state so he took them to the closest one. Of course I had to fight him on this decision because I was nine months pregnant today but I told him that I most likely wasn't going to go into labor anytime soon. I was sleeping peacefully dreaming of no one but Edward when I felt a sharp pain in my stomach, I opened my eyes placing a hand on my stomach, it was hard.
"Oh no." I whispered sitting up a little.
I waited, after about twenty minutes I felt another, this time I woke Emmett up.
"Emmett!" I said.
He mumbled something and turned over on his side.
"Emmett." I said again.
He took the pillow and put it over his head.
"Emmett Cullen!"
He groaned and turned over on his side, "What?"
"Something is happening." I told him.
"Something is happening? What is happening besides of me being awake at 3 in the morning?" He asked me.
I didn't say anything I just grabbed his hand and placed it on my stomach, it hardened again with another pain.
"Are... Are you having contractions Bella?!" He asked.
"I think so." I told him.
He started freaking out, I wondered if this is how he acted when Rose told him Kaleb was ready to come out.
"Can you stand? WAIT! No, don't stand!" He said changing his mind.
I looked at him waiting.
"I can... I can drive us there. Don't move!" He yelled.
"Don't yell at me!" I told him.
"Right. No yelling at the mother." He reminded himself.
I sat up carefully, "Should we go to the hospital?"
"Has your water broken yet?" He asked calming down.
"No." I said checking the bed.
"Um. Maybe we should just hang out at the house. I'll call Carlisle at the hospital to see what we should do. Why don't you go and make yourself some tea?" He asked.
I nodded and got off the bed, I slowly walked, or waddled, out of the room. I walked past Alice and Jasper's room, the door was open and they were both up, Jasper was reading a book and Alice a shopping magazine, I knocked on the door.
"Hey Bella. What are you doing up so early, it's three-thirty in the morning." Jasper said.
I took a deep breath, "I think today might be the day."
A loud squeal filled the room and Alice attacked me with a hug.
"Really?!" She asked placing a hand on my stomach.
"Don't get too excited it might be a false alarm." I told her.
"Has your water broken?" Jasper asked walking over.
"No. Emmett said we should just hang out until we know if something is going to happen, he is calling Carlisle now he told me to make some tea."
"I'll make you some." Jasper said.
We walked downstairs in the kitchen, Jasper was in the middle of making tea when I started to have sharp pains in my lower back, I shifted uncomfortably in my chair.
"What's wrong?" Jasper asked.
"My back hurts." I told him.
"Oh."
"Come on already," I said rubbing my stomach. "I want you out. Now."
Alice chuckled, Jasper walked over handing me a cup of tea, Emmett walked in.
"I just got off the phone with Carlisle, he said to hang out here until your water breaks. He said then you have a choice, you could stay home until the contractions are about five minutes apart or you can go to the hospital." Emmett explained.
"Okay." I said.
"So tell that baby that we are ready when it is!" He said rubbing my stomach.
"Oh trust me. I am more ready then you! I am ready to see my feet again!" I said smiling.
I got up and walked into the living room after I finished my tea, I walked around ready for something to happen. I sighed wishing Edward was here, I longed to talk to him to hear his voice but I didn't want to worry him when nothing was happening. He would rush home and find that I was still huge and not in labor. Out of no where the kitchen door flew open and banged against the wall, I gasped at the sudden crash that made me jump, I had yet to notice that my water broke.
"Bella! You will not believe what is on sale right now!" Alice shrieked.
I gasped and looked down at my jeans, I was now standing in a puddle of water, I looked up at her shocked.
"You broke my water!" I gasped.
"Oh no!" She said covering her mouth.
"Alice what did you-" Emmett stopped when he saw me.
"Could you now make it to the bathroom in enough time Bella?" He asked.
"No... My water broke." I said.
"Okay. Don't panic! Let's go pack your bag. WAIT! No! Don't move!" He yelled.
"I told you not to yell at me!" I yelled back at him.
"Sorry! I'll go pack the bag and when I come down we can figure out if we want to head to the hospital." He said.
"I want to go to the hospital." I told him.
"Okay."
"I'll help you to the car." Jasper said.
Once I was in the car I dug my phone out of my purse, I flipped it open and dialed Edward's number, it was four in the morning so I doubt he would answer. I dialed the number anyway, I would leave him a message, I waited for the voice mail to show up.
"Hel- Hello?" Edward said, he sounded half asleep.
"Edward?" I asked, I didn't expect him to answer.
"Bella? What are you doing up it's four in the morning!" He said.
"Well- How are the kids?" I asked stalling.
"The kids? Their fine, they are enjoying themselves." He told me.
"Good. That's good." I said.
"Bella. You called at four in the morning to ask about the kids?" He asked.
"No, um, that's not the only reason..."
"Is anything wrong?"
"I'm in labor."
Silence.
"Edward?"
"Your what?"
"My water broke a few minutes ago."
"Are you... Are you okay?"
"For now. Emmett's packing the bag right now then we are going to the hospital."
He was about to say something but I cut him off with a gasp, I felt a contraction come and grabbed the handle on the door.
"Bella?" Edward asked.
"Contraction." I mumbled.
"Breathe. Breathe through it, it will help."
"Edward I cant do this without you!"
"Shh. I will get home as soon as possible. I'll wake the kids and we will be on the road. I promise you I will not miss this." He said.
I nodded my head, "Okay."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
With that I hung up.
"Ready?" Emmett said, I didn't even notice that we were ready.
"Oh. Yeah." I said.
Edward's POV
I got up off the bed, Bella was in labor a million miles away, I just prayed that I would get there in time. I walked down the hall to where all the kids were staying, I knocked on the door lightly before opening it.
"Kids." I said.
Nothing.
"Kids! Wake up!" I yelled.
They jumped.
"Wha? What's going on?" Madison asked.
"We're leaving." I told them.
"What?! Now?! No! Dad we were going to go sight see remember?!" Emily said.
"I know, and I am sorry but we need to get home." I said.
"What's so freaking important that we have to leave?!" Seth asked.
"Your mother is in labor. Now, get dressed and pack! We're leaving in a half an hour!" I said before shutting the door.
"Sometimes my children can be so selfish." I mumbled to myself.
Bella's POV
"Carlisle!" I said as he walked in the hospital room.
"Hey Bella," He said walking over and kissing my forehead, "How are you feeling?"
"Eh. Okay." I said.
"Any word from Edward?" He asked.
"Not since I called to tell him." I said frowning.
"He'll be here Bella." Carlisle said rubbing my leg.
"Yeah, I hope so."
"Ow." I gasped putting my hand on my stomach.
"Breathe." He said grabbing my free hand.
"Ow, ow ow." I cried squeezing his hand.
I closed my eyes focusing on breathing until the contraction was over, not even a second after my phone started ringing.
"Hello?" I gasped, I was a little out of breath.
"Bella?" Edward asked.
"Edward! Hi..." I said.
"Hey, how you doing?" He asked.
I laughed a little, "I don't know."
"Look I just called you to tell you we are on the way right now." He said.
"Edward, are you going to make it in time?" I asked playing with the blanket I was covered in.
"Yes. I will be there." He told me, but I could here himself wondering the same thing in his voice.
"I miss you."
"I miss you too."
"How are the kids doing? Their not too mad are they?"
"Their upset, but they'll get over it."
We talked for about ten minutes before I had another contraction.
I gasped.
"What?!" Edward asked.
"Contraction." I said through clenched teeth.
He sighed, "I wish I was there to hold your hand through them."
"Me too!" I said.
"Is everyone taking good care of you?" He asked.
"Yeah. Emmett's waiting hand and foot on me."
"Good."
"Bella! I got your burger, fries and chocolate shake!" Emmett said rushing in.
"Speaking of Emmett, he just came in with my food." I said to Edward.
"Okay, well I'll let you eat. I love you." Edward said.
"I love you too." I told him before hanging up.
"Was that Edward?" Emmett asked.
"Yeah." I said grabbing the food.
"Is he on his way?" He asked.
"Yeah." I said.
"Is he going to make it?" He asked.
"What is this twenty questions?!" I snapped.
"Whoa, sorry." He said.
A Couple Hours
"Oh god!" I screamed as a contraction ripped through me.
"Breathe Bella your doing great!" Alice said.
"I just want this baby out!" I told her.
She brushed the hair out of my face as tears rolled down my face, it was more painful this time and I didn't have Edward here to help. My phone rang but I couldn't answer it, Jasper was in the room and answered it since it was Edward.
"Hello? Hi Edward. No she cant talk, she's having really bad contractions. So bad that she is crying." I heard Jasper tell him.
I screamed in pain as another one of them hit, they were about five minutes apart now and getting unbearable. I squeezed Alice's hand making her wince in pain as I breathed through the pain, Carlisle walked in to check me.
"Your at seven Bella." He told me.
"How much longer?" I asked.
"Not much." He said.
"Oh God. Edward's not going to make it!"
"Bella? Edward wants to talk to you." Jasper said.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Bella? Love? How are you doing?" He asked.
"It hurts Edward. It really hurts." I said.
"I know, but it will be over soon." He told me.
"Edward. I'm seven centimeters dilated! Carlisle said it wont be long now!" I cried.
"Sweetie, I am going to be there I promise you that, I am trying my hardest. Look, I have to go. I'll talk to you when I get there." He said before hanging up.
I looked at the phone for a minute before shutting it, he hung up without telling me he loves me.
A Couple More Hours Later
"Okay Bella this is it, your at ten." Carlisle said smiling at me.
"No! I cant be! Cant we stall it or something?!" I asked.
"Stall it? Honey we cant stall childbirth." He said.
"But Edward's not here!" I cried.
"Bella, we cant wait any longer for him to show up. Alice, Emmett hold her hands for her to squeeze." He told them.
"Oh God. This isn't happening! I need my husband!" I said before the tears spilled over.
"Okay Bella, push!" Carlisle said.
I hesitated for a few minutes until Carlisle gave me that look, I pushed hard squeezing Alice's and Emmett's hands hard as I did. I gasped for breath when I needed to and took a short break, Alice handed me a water bottle and I took a quick drink.
"Okay push!"
I screamed as I pushed putting my chin on my chest, I heard Carlisle said I was doing great and pushed harder.
"Okay, take a break, I can see a little bit of the head." He said.
The only think I could think of was that I wanted this baby out and that for the first time Edward broke his promise, he told me he would be here and he wasn't, it felt like I was being stabbed in the heart over and over again.
"Push Bella! Big push!" Carlisle said.
I pushed, Alice wiped my forehead with a damp towel while squeezing my hand, I didn't wait until Carlisle told me to push on the next one, I knew by now when to push and when not too.
"Good. Good, now, one last big push and you will have your baby." Carlisle said.
I took a deep breath before pushing, "There better be one baby!" I said through the push, Carlisle and everyone in the room laughed. I pushed until I heard the most wonderful sound in the world, I heard my baby's cry fill the room and everyone stopped to listen.
"It's a boy!" Carlisle said.
I lost it then, I started to cry and laugh at the same time, he cut the umbilical cord and wrapped up the baby in a blue blanket. He handed it to one of the nurses who walked him slowly over to me, she carefully placed him in my arms.
"Hey." I whispered. "Hi. I'm your mama. Yeah."
"Oh Bella! He's beautiful!" Alice said.
I touched his little lips with my finger, but it was time for the nurse to take him back, I waved goodbye as they took him out of the room.
Edward's POV
I finally made it to the hospital in Forks and prayed that I wasn't too late, the kids were running behind me but I couldn't wait for them. I ran to the front desk and asked for Bella Cullen, the lady pointed down the hall before I took off running again, I got to the room and pushed the door open. I saw Alice and Esme sitting in chairs looking at magazines, I looked around to see Bella laying in the bed sleeping, my heart dropped when I saw that her stomach was small again, I was too late.
"Edward." Alice whispered.
"Oh no." I said running my fingers through my hair.
"Shh! We just got her asleep! She's been crying for an hour because of you!" Alice said.
"When did she deliver?" I asked.
"About an hour and a half ago." Alice said.
It was only then I saw a baby in one of those plastic things on wheels that they kept the babies in, it was wrapped in a blue blanket and was sleeping next to its mother. I walked over to the two of them, I touched the little boys cheek lightly, he stirred a little bit but went right back to sleep. I turned to Bella who was sleeping peacefully but had tear streaks on her cheeks, I sighed, I had let her down and broke my promise. I grabbed her hand and held it in mine, she jumped before slowly opening her eyes.
"Edward?" She asked groggily.
"Hey." I whispered caressing her cheek.
"You came." She whispered.
"Of course I did, but I was too late." I said looking at the baby next to us.
Silence.
"Look, Bella I am really sorry." I told her.
She started crying again, "You missed it Edward! You missed me having your baby."
"Shh. I know." I said, my heart was breaking, she was crying because of me.
"It's a boy. A little baby boy Edward!" She said smiling.
"Yeah. He's beautiful." I told her.
"Edward?" She asked.
"Yeah?" I asked.
She leaned forward and kissed me on the lips, I thought she would be mad at me, but with the kind of kiss she was giving me let me know she forgave me. I smiled taking her hand in mine, she smiled laying down in my arms.
"So. We still have a name to pick out." She said.
"I guess we do." I said smiling.
"I was thinking about Micheal." She told me.
"Micheal? Hm. I like that name." I told her.
"How about that? Do you like that name Micheal?" She asked taking the baby's little hand in hers.
He made a gurgle noise in his sleep.
"I guess that's a yes!" Bella said laughing.
"Welcome to the world, Micheal Cullen..." I whispered kissing Bella on the forehead.
