Pregnant
Being pregnant sucked. I wasn't sure how my mom did it. But then she didn't have twins either. Whose bright idea was it to have unprotected sex with Jacob anyway? As I get out of my car and walk towards the school I'm filled with the familiar sense of being watched. And why not, I mean I'm supposed to be a perfect Cullen and now I'm pregnant and it was showing. I walk past the people and to my first class. My first class was automotive technology in which I was the only girl; therefore the boys felt the need to stare at my ever growing stomach.
As I walk into the large garage used for the cars in which we worked on in groups I notice that some of the class was still missing, which was of no surprise. The ones missing were usually late. I walk over to the car my group was working on, an old convertible with a considerable amount of problems. My group was already there and waiting to be told today's assignments.
"Hey Lizzie," says Mark. Mark was nice and although I was pregnant he still had a crush on me. My whole group liked me and didn't treat me weird for being pregnant and often defended me when someone tried.
"Hi guys," I say cheerfully as I pull on my work shirt. Alice had considerately fixed the shirt to fit over my growing stomach so I didn't have to buy another. Alice already thought the shirt was hideous and didn't think I needed two.
"How are you feeling?" asks Mark.
"I've been better, but I'm no worse than usual either," I say.
"That's good," says Mark. Then the bell rings and the teacher, Mr. Gardener, walks in and looks at us all.
"Good Morning class," he says. His words are followed by a chorus of good mornings from the class. "Today we're going to continue what we started last week."
With that being said Mark pops the hood of the car. Terrance and Justin were working on the problems under that car while Mark and I worked on the motor, partially because I didn't fit under the car very well.
"So how was your weekend?" asks Terrance.
"I had to go to the hospital for an ultrasound. Other than that it wasn't too exciting. What about you guys?" I ask.
"I got in trouble for taking my dad's motor apart," says Justin.
"Did you fix it?" I ask.
"I forgot how I managed to get it apart," admits Justin.
"I could come fix it for you," I say.
"That would be so awesome if you could. My parents are making me fix it myself or pay to have it done," says Justin.
"I'll do it for free. I just have to let my parents know," I say.
"Thanks," says Justin. Three months later it was June and I had just graduated with honors. My family was very proud of me. I was just glad to be out of school. I was now eight months pregnant and it was definitely showing. As I sat on the couch in Jacob's living room watching TV I feel a strange pressure followed by pain and the sensation that I had just peed myself. Unfortunately Jacob wasn't home, he was at work. Then Alice walks in followed by my parents.
"Your dad is outside waiting for you in his car," says Alice.
"I thought you said July," I say.
"Tell my visions that," says Alice as she helps me to my feet and drags me out the door to Edward's car. I get in the back seat followed by Alice who was grabbing my hand.
"Alice saw your water break and called us," says Edward.
"I figured as much," I say as Edward speeds down the road. Then he suddenly stops and swears under his breath. Why today of all days did there have to be a traffic jam?
"Edward, at this rate she's going to give birth in the car," says Alice.
"What?!" Edward and I shout in unison.
"The traffic jam isn't going to start moving for about twenty more minutes and Lizzie is going to give birth in ten minutes. The second will come two minutes later," says Alice.
"Why didn't you see this sooner?" demands Edward.
"I didn't see the path you would take to the hospital until it was too late," says Alice. Then I felt it. The baby was definitely coming and it was going to hurt.
"Alice, trade me places," says Edward. Alice nods and suddenly Edward was sitting next to me and Alice was in the driver's seat. Just as Alice had predicted I had given birth ten minutes later to a baby boy, followed by a girl two minutes later. I felt weak from the effort, but I was also happy to have given birth. Edward had removed his shirt and wrapped the boy in it; the girl was wrapped in a shirt from my overnight bag Alice had brought with her.
"How are you feeling?" asks Edward.
"Tired, sore, but happy. They're so beautiful," I whisper.
"Yes. You did a very good job and I'm very proud of you," says Edward. Then Alice stomps on the gas pedal and finishes the journey to the hospital where the rest of the family as well as Jacob was waiting by the emergency entrance. They all swarm the car when we pull up. Edward gets out first and comes to my side where he opens my door and picks me up carefully.
"What took so long?" demands Jacob.
"Edward went the wrong way and found the traffic jam," says Alice. Then Carlisle and a nurse walk over with a wheel chair. Edward puts me in the wheel chair and Jacob walks over to me. Then he notices the babies I held in my arms.
"Hey Jakey," I say weakly. Then I black out.
When I finally come to I was in a hospital bed and the room was still bright with sunlight. I could smell Jacob in the room although I couldn't see him. I sit up and look around and find him sitting in the chair next to me holding my hand in his.
"Hey," I whisper. Jacob's head snaps up and he looks at me. Relief washes over me and I realize it was Jacob's relief, not mine.
"Hey, how do you feel?" asks Jacob.
"Sore, but I feel better. Where are they?" I ask.
"In the nursery room. Carlisle gave them a full check up and said they were perfectly healthy for having been born a month early," says Jacob.
"That's good," I whisper.
"They're beautiful," says Jacob. "I just wish I could have been there when you gave birth," says Jacob.
"The boy decided he wanted out immediately. I don't think I had much of a choice," I say. Jacob chuckles and kisses me.
"Carlisle also said he thought the reason you gave birth so early is because your body couldn't handle the stress of pregnancy anymore. That's why you passed out," then his expression changes and he was in anguish. "We almost lost you. They had to revive you twice before you finally stabilized enough to be left alone. Then you slipped into a coma for a week and I thought for sure I had lost you."
"I'm so sorry," I say.
"Then you came out of the coma last night and things began to look up again. I've never been so terrified in my entire life," scolds Jacob.
"I'll try to stay conscious next time," I say. Then the door opens and Carlisle walks in carrying a clipboard followed by a nurse pushing two incubators.
"Good morning Elizabeth. It's nice to see you awake for a change," says Carlisle. I could tell he was trying to sound official for the nurse's benefit.
"It's nice to be awake," I say.
"You can probably leave tomorrow, but the babies will need names if you expect them to go with you," says Carlisle after the nurse leaves. "I doubt you want them to be babies A and B."
"Why didn't you name them Jacob?" I ask.
"I was waiting for you to wake up," says Jacob. I roll my eyes then Carlisle hands me the twins. I look at them and smile.
"Well I've always liked the name Quinn," I say looking at the boy.
"Quinn's a cool name," says Jacob.
"Quinn William Black. I'm sure Billy would love that," I say with a grin. Jacob snickers and nods in agreement.
"Yeah because Billy always loved his real name," says Jacob. (Billy is a nickname for William for anyone who didn't know that)
"You can name the girl," I say. Jacob takes her and smiles.
"Riley Michelle Black," says Jacob. I mentally roll my eyes. Riley seemed like a boy's name and it was also a name I associated with dogs. Then again they were part werewolf.
"Okay," I say.
End Chapter
(A/N: Thank you for the reviews. I figured the twins weren't going to play a major role anyway so I just sorta named them, so be nice! Quinn and Riley aren't that bad of names anyway. The story is slowly coming to an end. It's looking like two, maybe three more chapters. Thanks for reading. I'll try to post the next couple of chapters ASAP. Sayonara.)
