Epilogue [Part2]
"Bella." Someone called out her name. She couldn't tell where it came from. Darkness was still surrounding her.
"Bella." Someone nudged her. She tried to move but she couldn't. It was as if she was numb- she couldn't feel anything.
"Bella!" Another screamed her name. She tried making a noise but a lump seemed to have formed in her throat.
"Bella?" This time, it sounded concerned. Then, suddenly, cold water was splashed onto her.
Finally, she found her voice. She screamed as loud as possible when she jumped up and opened her eyes, only to see Emmett holding a bucket looking apologetically as Jacob, who stood at the end of the bed; Jasper, who leaned against the bathroom door and Seth, who sat on the sofa, held in their laughter.
"What the hell was that for?" Rose thwacked Emmett's head as she walked in with the other girls. "Her scream could've gotten me in labour."
"Aw, I'm sorry hun." Emmett said as Rose huffed with her arms crossed. "It's just there's only another hour till the flight leaves and lil' Bella here wouldn't wake up."
"Well what do you think Emmett?" Bella said rolling her eyes. "I just had a concert about-" she paused looking at the clock, she doubled take as her eyes widen. "2 friggin hours ago." She growled out.
"Well. The flight leaves in an hour-"
"Which she told us 2 hours ago that she had changed the flight hour so that we still have 6 hours from now." Tanya said sleepily as she sat on Seth's lap and snuggled into him with her arms around his shoulder and his around her waist, one hand resting on the tiny bump evident and the other on her thigh.
"Oh. Why didn't anyone tell me?" Emmett pouted.
"Oh, trust us. All of us did." Jacob said as he pointed to the remaining two boys and himself. [Seth, Jasper and Jacob]
"OK. Now out you go." Bella said grouchily as she shoo everyone out of her room and promptly fell back to sleep.
~…~…~
Several hours later, after they had arrived in Forks at Bella's old house.
"Ok. So tonight, there's a reunion going at in school. We are going and --" Alice stated cheerfully but it faded away at the last part.
"And?" Bella narrowed her eyes in suspicion.
"We sorta-kinda told them that youwillperformthen." Alice said quickly.
It took a few second for it to sink in then suddenly, "WHAT?"
"Look, there won't be a difference. 'Cept maybe people might go insane and a bit wild than your usual concert because we told the planning community to…keep it a secret." Alice whispered the last part while cowering a little.
"UGH!!!" Bella stomped her feet ands stalked into her old bedroom.
~…~…~
"Do we really have to do this?" Bella whined as she fixed her blond wig with a black headband along with sunglasses.
"Well," Alice started as she wiped her hands on her jeans. "Do you want hundreds of screaming fans chasing you around this tiny town?"
"No," Bella sighed.
"Plus, it's just going to be me and you. Rose is close to her due date and Emmett doesn't want anything to happen to her. Seth is a bit tooo overprotective of Tanya." Alice rolled her eyes. "I say what complete idiots. Well, not Emmett really."
"Ok, let's go." Bella said as she got up from her chair and grabbed the keys.
~…~…~
"Try this on." "No wait this." Alice went on and on about clothes and dresses to get for Bella, Tanya, Leah and Rose.
Bella and Leah had drowned out her voice since Alice had been talking to herself for the past hour or two as she tossed dresses into their hands to try on. They had already spent 7 hours in the mall but have only been in three shops- H&M, Victoria's Secret ["You need to feel good underneath." Alice's word] and they are now in Forever21. In Leah and Bella's arms are a dozen dresses. Each. They looked at each other and rolled their eyes as Alice continued talking to herself judging dresses and throwing them into the pile that had piled up.
"Alice," Bella whined. "Come on. We've been here for 7 hours. Can't we just rest?"
Alice frowned. "Well, I guess we can." Leah and Bella sighed in relief as Alice spotted a Starbucks nearby.
Alice ordered a Vanilla Frappucino, Bella ordered a cappuccino while Leah ordered a chocolate frap.
"So. The dance is tomorrow at 7.30 till midnight. Since we have 5 of us, I think we should start getting ready at 10. What do you think?" Alice asked.
"10?" Bella blubbered shocked. "That's way too early!" Leah nodded her head in agreement.
"Well, what time do you want to start?" Alice pouted.
"uh. 6?" Bella said in a 'isn't it obvious?' tone.
"That's too late!" Alice gasped.
"Not for me. You do realize that I have been the one doing my own make-up and dressing myself for the concerts and the red carpet events. Don't you?" Bella asked confidently.
"Really?" Alice asked whilst sipping her coffee. "I always thought you had help from other people. Like a hairstylist, make-upist and all that pampering."
"Alice," Leah sighed. "Just trust Bella on this. I was there for one of the concert backstage. She did do it herself."
Alice huffed in response as a gust of wind blew by (Just incase I haven't told you, the mall is an open air mall.) Bella's wig ruffled and since her sunglasses are off, half her hair showed. Leah and Alice gasped as they stood up and tried to hide it but it was too late. Girls were already screaming their hearts out, heads were turning towards their direction and people were running towards them. In a few seconds, Bella, Alice and Leah are caught in between the crowd that had formed around them.
"Alice Hale! I love your clothing line!"
"Bella! Can you sign my clothes? I can't believe your really here!"
"OMG! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH BELLA! YOU ARE MY IDOL!"
"Can I take a picture with you?"
"OMG I can't believe it! Alice AND Bella Swan!"
Girls screamed their heads off; flashes were flashing every second. Alice was surprised that she was well known in this small town.
Bella and Alice had managed to get about one hundred signatures and photos with their fans before policemen and reporters started running in while Leah watch on with amusement dancing in her eyes.
"Turns out the headband didn't work." Leah stated.
"Yeah, I kinda figured that out myself." Bella sighed. "So much for a normal day."
~…~…~
The next day, they hanged around at home and talked about their lives and how they have been. Then they started preparing for the reunion.
The reunion was simple but Bella's appearance in the mall had caught the attention of the local paparazzi's so flashing cameras can be seen by the front door.
An hour into the party, the announcer went up to the stage that were set up.
"Welcome Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to the reunion for the class of '04. Now, now, I'm sure you know Bella Swan," Squeals erupted in the gym. "She's here right now. Let's welcome Bella Swan, our fellow classmate and respected celebrity." Everyone clapped, louder when Bella appeared on stage.
"Hi everybody, I'm going to sing a song that I've just finished written. It's called 'Hungover' I hope you like it." Bella introduced as she hung her guitar on her shoulder.
And now the sun is rising
And now the long walk back home (back home)
There's just so many faces,
But no one I need to know (need to know)
In the dark I can't fight it, I fake til I'm numb
But in the bright light,
I taste you on my tongue
Now the party's over
And every bodys gone
I'm left here with myself and I wonder what went wrong
And now my heart is broken
Like the bottles on the floor
Does it really matter?
Or am I just hung over you?
Ah ah ah, ah ah ah
Or am I just hungover?
Even my dirty laundry
Everything just smells like you (like you)
And now my head is throbbing
Every song is out of tune
Just like you
In the dark I can't fight it til it disapears
But in the daylight
I taste you in my tears
And now the party's over,
And every bodys gone
I'm left here with myself and I wonder what went wrong
And now my heart is broken
Like the bottles on the floor
Does it really matter?
Or am I just hung over you?
Now Iv'e got myself looking like a mess
Standing alone
Hear at the end try to pretend but no,
I put up my fight
But this is it this time (this time)
Cus I'm here at the end, tryin to pretend
Here at the end, tryin to pretend
Oh, ohhh
And now the party's over,
And every bodys gone
I'm left here with myself and I wonder what went wrong
And now my heart is broken
Like the bottles on the floor
Does it really matter?
Or am I just hung over you?
Ah ah ah, ah ah ah
Or am I just hungover?
X2
Ah ah ah
Or am I just hungover?
People cheered. Bella waved at Jessica and Angela who stood nearest to the stage. They waved back cheering for her.
"Thank you." Bella smiled.
~…~…~
After Bella's performance, she walked down the stage to re-join the party only to be greeted by a familiar face.
"Edward." Bella gasped as tears started forming in her eyes.
"Bella." Edward breathed out as he pulled her into a hug.
"What the hell Edward." Bella cried into his chest.
"I'm so sorry Bella. I thought it was for the best."
"What? To leave me wondering what I did wrong was 'for the best'? " Bella hissed as she pulled away and walked a few steps backward.
"Bella, I thought distancing myself would make you leave without--" Edward said as he tried to walk towards Bella only to see that Bella moves back every step he moves forwards.
"Without what Edward? Without knowing that I left the one person that I care about the most here?" Bella snapped and Edward looked at his feet guilty. "I cared about you Edward. Five years. That was how long you left me wondering what I did wrong. I tried asking Esme, I tried asking Carlisle, heck I asked everyone and they have no idea what the hell is wrong with you." Bella ranted on as her tears fall freely down her cheek.
"I loved you Edward." Bella whispered. "I guess that just wasn't good enough."
Bella turned and ran out the reunion. She ran until she reached a place where she could be alone. A place no one knew about, except for the moon. She slid down the tree and cried. She didn't even realised Edward had followed her.
Edward slowly pulled her into his arms as he sat down near her. He snuggled into her drenched hair and sobbed quietly while he rubbed soothing circles on her back. It was awhile till her tears reduced. She sniffed and turned to him.
"Why are you doing this to me Edward?" Bella whispered half sobbing, as she hit his chest repeatedly.
"I'm sorry. So, so, sorry. I didn't realise how much I hurt you. I love you so much." Edward said as he captured her mouth with his.
The kiss was slow, passionate and sweet. They put their feelings on full force in the kiss, showing their love for each other.
As they slowly pulled back, they put their foreheads together.
"I love you so much." Edward whispered.
"I love you too." Bella smiled through her tears. They stayed in that position for awhile, trying to get their breath back. Surrounding them was silence, nothing could be heard except for the
Suddenly the quietness of the area was broken by Bella's phone ringing.
"Hello?" Bella answered.
"Its Alice. Rose's in labour. Hospital now." Alice said and hung up.
Bella scrambled on her feet immediately and pulled Edward up.
"What's the rush?" Edward asked confused.
"Rose is in labour, we have to go now. Follow me" Bella said. As soon as they finished their sentence they dashed out the garden and back to school to get her car.
~…~…~
"…EMMETT CULLEN IF YOU EVER COME NEAR BE AGAIN I WILL KILL YOU…" Rose's voice filled the room as Leah, Tanya, Alice, Jasper, Seth and Jacob winced. Jacob clapped Seth at the back and said sympathetically, "Man, you're next."
Tanya laughed and replied teasingly, "Don't worry, this is a common reaction for women in labour." Tanya pecked Seth on the lips just in time to hear Rose shout.
"…CULLEN I AM VERY SERIOUS HERE…"
Bella and Edward winced as they arrive upon hearing Rose's words.
"Why are both of you drenched?" Alice asked curiously.
"Long story. Tell you later." Bella panted. "How is she?"
"Still a long way to go. She's only 3 centimeters dilated." The door broke open revealing Emmett holding his right hand.
"She wants Alice and Bella in there. She thinks Leah and Tanya should not go in because," Emmett shivered. "You'll know soon. My hand needs ice pack so bad."
"...ALICE HALE! BELLA SWAN! GET THE HELL IN HERE!..." Rose shouted as another case of contraction hit her.
~…~…~
10 hours later
"COME ON ROSIE BABY, YOU CAN DO THIS!" Emmett encouraged Rose over her screams.
"I can't too painful." Rose panted as she flopped down to the pillow as soon as the contraction was over. Emmett looked at her worriedly as he rubbed soothing circles on her very swollen belly.
"Mr Cullen, I think it would be best if you situate yourself behind Mrs Cullen to help her with the birth. She's almost fully dilated." The doctor suggested. Emmett nodded and told Alice and Bella to help him hold Rose's arms, one on the left and one on the right, as he shifted himself behind Rose.
Rose groaned and whimpered when her upper body was moved. Rose felt the babies being squashed harder and harder between her body and her thighs as Emmett shifted into position. She was scared because the pain was unbearable and she was worried about the babies since she wanted to have her own every since she knows about them. She gripped the girls' hands to prevent herself from screaming her heart out since her ribs are also pushed against her lungs leaving her unable to breathe. Unfortunately, a contraction hit her during the change and the doctor told them she was now fully dilated.
"Emmett!" Rose cried out gasping as she felt the babies move unable to come out and the pain of unable to breathe. Emmett hurried and positioned himself just before the contraction was over and was able to hold her hands in his as she gripped while screaming and pushing.
"I can't do this anymore," Rose sobbed. "I can't. I'm sorry."
"Shhh. Come on baby we can do this. We'll have them soon enough." Emmett whispered in encouragement as he kissed Rose's sweaty forehead when she leaned, panting, into him. "Bella, Alice, go to the waiting room. I don't think you want to see this."
Said girls nodded and went to the waiting room.
~…~…~
1 hour later
Bella fell asleep on Edwards lap; Alice in the same position as Bella, on Jasper's lap; Tanya was on Seth's lap fully snuggled into his shoulder and Leah's head rested on Jacob's.
"May I present to you: Chelsea Meaghan Cullen and Chris Martin Cullen." Emmett's tired voice filled the waiting room. In his arms were two babies. One had blonde hair, the other has black hair. Bella was the first to wake up. She nudged Edward awake and signaled him to wake others.
"Oh my," Bella covered her mouth. "They're so cute."
Emmett handed Bella the blond one. "And who is this?" Bella questioned.
"That is Chelsea. Chelsea Meaghan Cullen." Emmett stated proudly. He slightly held up the baby boy in his hand and stated, "This is Chris. Chris Martin Cullen."
"They're such beautiful names!" Alice said in awe.
Edward stood beside Bella with his arm around her shoulders as he watched her with the baby.
"How is she?" Tanya nodded towards the delivery room.
"Weak and tired." Emmett said and silence ensued. The silence lasted for 5 minutes as the girls made cooing noises and awe over the babies until Emmett broke the silence, "Bella, help me bring Chelsea in would you?" He said in his raspy voice.
Bella nodded and followed.
~…~…~
"So, what's going on with you and Edward now?" Emmett asked as he and Bella put the babies down on the hospital cribs.
"Well, it's complicated" Bella sighed. "He loved me and still does, that's why he stopped everything with me in hopes of me forgetting him last 5 years." Bella laughed softly but sadly, shaking her head.
"I can tell when my brother is serious and I think he is with this one. He's never the one to think." Emmett said gripping her shoulders
"Wow. See what being a father does to you? There are meanings behind your words now." Bella teased as Emmett pulled her into a hug laughing.
"Don't forget, you're still my little sister and I know you love him too Bella. Give him a second chance."
"I'll think on it. Thanks Emmett." Bella said turning towards a sleeping Rose. "What did the doctors said about Rose?" Just when Emmett was about to answer, Bella cut in. "I want the truth this time." Emmet sighed and rubbed his temple, obviously trying to avoid the topic
"They said the delivery was a bit different than the usual, she'll be weak and tired for a while. That's why she's staying in the hospital. They think it was when we shifted her during her contraction." Emmett whispered. "She'll be alright after a month or less. I guess it wasn't the right time to go to the reunion huh?"
"Yeah I guess."
"Think on it Bella, trust me on this. Edward deserves a second chance. I don't want you to regret not giving him another chance."
Bella hesitated, looked at the door in between the waiting room and the delivery room and back to Emmett. "I will. Thank You Emmett. You're the best."
~…~…~
2 weeks later
"Hi, guys." Rose's voice was raspy and tired. She looked unusually pale and she's always tired.
"Hi Rose." Edward and Bella replied in unison. Rose smiled.
"Are you two together now?" Bella and Edward looked at each other and smiled.
"Yes, I guess we are." Bella replied smiling before giving Edward a peck on the lips.
"Good cause I want the both of you to be Chris' Godparents. Alice called to be Chelsea's yesterday."
"Thank you. We appreciate it." Edward smiled, stepping forward to hug Bella from the back.
"So how are you feeling?" Bella asked concerned
"Better. It's ok. At least they're safe." Rose said.
"Well, We have some where to go. We'll see you later." Edward stated as he made a move towards the door
"I won't stop you love birds. Tomorrow's New Years by the way." Rose teased with a twinkle in her eyes
