I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING TWILIGHT
"You might feel some pressure and pulling." Edward said warning Rose. Suddenly a tiny cry filled the room. "Well aren't you cuter than your dad." Edward said holding up our son.
"He's so tiny." Rose said, tears streaming down her cheeks. The nurses took him to clean him up and check him over.
"OK, one more." Edward said. I squeezed Rose's hand. My heart was about to beat out of my chest. There was a small cry, Edward didn't say anything for a moment.
"What's going on? Is he OK?" I asked.
CHAPTER 33 HE WAS WRONG
"Um, you might want to think of another name." Edward said.
"Why?" Rose asked.
"The ultrasound was wrong. It's a girl." Edward said holding her up.
I was shocked. I looked down at Rose, tears were streaming down her face. "A girl. Emmett, we have a daughter." She cried softly.
I leaned over and kissed her. "She's beautiful." I told here.
"Go check on them." She urged.
I walked over to my babies. Jacob looked like Chris and Danny did when they were born. While my daughter looked exactly like Rose. She was going to be totally spoiled being the only sister with all the big brothers around her.
Jackie placed both babies in my arms. "Take them to your wife." She said smiling.
I sat back down, showing them off to Rose. She kissed them each. "She needs a name." Rose whispered.
"Are there any names you like?" I asked her.
She was thoughtful for a moment. "Leah Nicole." She said.
"Jacob Carlisle and Leah Nicole. I like it."
(Esme)
Rose wouldn't let go of my hand as they wheeled her to the OR. "I'm scared." She cried.
"I know you are, but Edward is in there, he's going to see you through this." I whispered leaning over to kiss her forehead. "Tell Emmett to let us know immediately."
"I will mom and if anything happens, take care of my boys." She said softly.
"Rosalie, do not talk like that. The three of you are going to be just fine."
The doors to the OR closed and I stood there alone crying. I trusted Edward, but it was scary to have someone go into surgery. I wiped my tears away and went to the waiting room.
I stood there in the door way watching my family as they talked and joked around. I knew if Carlisle was here, he would be grinning from ear to ear. So proud of his son for being able to deliver his nephews. I shook my head, clearing my thoughts and walked into the waiting room.
"Mom, what's going on? Have you been crying?" Bella asked. I walked over and sat down, everyone scooted in closer.
"Her contractions picked up, they got very close together and there was no break in between them. The babies started showing signs of distress and their heart rates were dropping. Dr. Cooper, is stuck in traffic and Edward knew he had to do something fast. So they decided an emergency c-section would be the best for Rose and the babies." I explained.
There was a chorus of "Oh my Gods" that went around the room.
"Is mom going to be ok grandma?" Chris asked.
"Uncle Edward, is going to take very good care of them." I assured him.
"Grandma, is mom going to die like grandpa did?" Danny asked, his eyes were full of fear.
"Danny, shut up!" Chris screamed at him.
"Christopher, with me now!" Jasper said sternly. Chris dropped his head and followed his uncle out of the room.
"Danny, grandpa had a sick heart, he didn't have surgery. His heart gave out." I told him trying to keep from crying. Tears fell from his eyes. I reached over and hugged him. "Your mom is strong, she will be just fine." I whispered as he cried.
Chris came in. "I am sorry for yelling at you. I'm scared to." He said.
It was hard not to watch the clock. Time was dragging slowly. I paced the waiting room. Bella came over carrying Lillian. "Did they say how long it would take?"
"No, and I didn't think to ask. Rose was a mess so it was hard to think of anything but trying to calm her down." I said.
"Of all of us, Rose is the strongest. She had to be to put up with Emmett for so long." Bella laughed.
Lillian reached out for me. "Come here beautiful little girl." I said taking her. She patted my face grinning. "I love you too." I said kissing her.
Jasper was sitting in a chair with Alice on his lap, his hands were on her stomach, while Chris and Danny sat near them talking. "Lets join them." I said to Bella.
"How are you guys doing?" I asked.
"Pretty good, Krysta wont stop kicking." Alice replied.
"She is going to be my kick boxer." Jasper said.
"Aunt Alice, can I feel?" Danny asked.
"Of course." She took his hand and pressed it down to where Krysta was kicking the hardest.
"It feels like an alien." He replied. We all laughed.
Suddenly Emmett appeared in the door way. "Dad!" Chris exclaimed. Everyone stood up and walked over to him.
"Well?" I asked.
"Rose is doing great, she is in recovery right now."
"What about my nephews?" Jasper asked.
"Jacob Carlisle is great. He weighs 6lbs 4oz and is 19inches long. He looks just like the boys did as babies." He replied.
"What about Seth?" I asked. There was something in his eyes that he was hiding.
"Well, about Seth..." He stopped and looked around.
"What Emmett, what happened?" Alice asked, she had tears in her voice.
"Leah Nicole is 5lbs 10oz and 18 ½ inches long." He said.
"A girl!" Bella exclaimed.
A huge smile broke out on his face. "We have three boys and a little girl! The doctor was wrong!" He exclaimed.
"Emmett congratulations!" I said hugging him. He picked me up and squeezed me.
"When can we see them?" Chris asked.
"Soon. I actually need to get back to them, but I will come and get you soon." We all hugged him. Chris and Danny were the last ones to hug him, but he squeezed them both tightly and told them he loved them. I stood back and smiled. I loved this Emmett, he was a big guy, who looked scary at times, but deep down he was just a big soft teddy bear.
(Rose)
I was lying alone in the recovery room. Emmett had gone to tell the family and the nurses had taken the babies to get check out.
"Hey Rose, how are you feeling?" Edward asked coming in.
"I just can't believe it. It seems like a dream, everything happened so fast. And to think that I have a daughter. Wow!" I said smiling.
"I will say that was a great surprise." He said smiling.
"I am also still feeling numb. I don't like not being able to feel my legs."
"You should begin to get feeling back in your legs in a couple of hours."
"Thank you Edward." I said reaching up to hug him.
"You are more than welcome. I feel honored that I got to be the one who delivered them" He replied hugging me back.
"Do I need to give you a moment?" Emmett asked from the door.
"Yes, go away." Edward laughed. He came in and sat down at the end of the bed.
"Rosalie, it's time to try to feed the babies. Would you like a bottle or are you going to nurse?"
"Nurse." I replied nervously.
"OK. Lets try your little girl first." She said placing Leah in my arms. It didn't take her long to latch on at all.
Jacob started crying. Emmett picked him up. "Give mommy, just a minute to feed your sister. You will be next." He whispered. He was holding him up to where he could look at him in the eyes. Jacob instantly stopped crying. "That's right little buddy. Let daddy hold you." He said sweetly kissing him.
"Once you get them used to latching on, you can feed them both at the same time." The nurse said sweetly.
I cringed at the thought. "How will I ever get a routine down with them?"
"It will get easier. Remember right now, you just went through labor and c-section, it will be OK." She said.
Once Leah was done, Emmett took her and I took Jacob. He was a little more stubborn, but finally latched on. "Good boy." I said stroking his little face.
"You have two little pros here." The nurse said.
"They get it from me." Emmett said.
"Seriously, would you shut up!" I exclaimed glaring at him.
"Sorry baby." He laughed.
Once our babies had finished eating, the nurse gave Emmett permission to bring Chris and Danny in.
(Emmett)
I didn't want to leave my wife alone, but the babies were sleeping and their were nurses around if she needed anything. I walked back to the waiting room and was greeted by my very excited family members. If I didn't know any better, Alice, gave everyone sugar and taught them all to act like fools. I couldn't help but laugh though. Those over excited fools, were my family members. "I know you are all anxious to see them, but I am here for Chris and Danny first." I said looking at my 2 now overly nervous sons. "Lets go." I said smiling.
They were quiet as we walked down the hall. "You need to wash your hands." I instructed. They did as I said and followed me into the recovery room.
"Hey guys." Rose said smiling at them.
They walked closer. "They are so small." Chris said.
"Would you like to hold your brother and sister?" Rose asked.
"Um, I'm afraid I'll hurt them." Chris said.
"I want to." Danny piped up.
I took Danny over to a chair and place Jacob in to his arms. "Now just support his head and neck." I told him.
"Chris, support her head. Yes she's small, but she wont break unless you drop her."
Um, mom." He said nervously.
"Chris you are doing great. See I told you she doesn't bite."
"What can I teach her?" He asked suddenly.
"Everything you did Danny and will Jacob. She just wont be allowed to pee outside." I laughed.
I took tons of pictures of my sons holding the new additions to our family. Chris seemed to relax and be a natural at holding babies.
Once Rose was feeling her legs a little bit, they got her into a room. Rose held the babies, while I took the boys and went to get the rest of the family. "What do you think of your brother and sister?" I asked.
"They sleep a lot." Danny said.
"They are cute. I can't wait to get them home to play with them." Chris said quietly.
We walked into the waiting room. "Rose is in a room and I was wondering if you would like to come and meet the newest members in my family?" I asked them.
"Yes!" Mom said jumping up. She was smiling like a little kid at Christmas. Jasper woke Alice up and we all headed into Rose's room. "Oh they are so cute you guys." Bella exclaimed quietly.
"Thanks." Rose yawned.
"Can I hold them?" Mom asked.
"Which one would you like to hold?" I asked.
"I don't care, one, both, really it doesn't bother me, just give me one." Mom giggled in excitement. We all laughed. I handed Jacob to mom and Leah to Alice.
Alice stood there holding her for quite awhile. "Wow." She gasped.
"What's wrong?" Jasper asked rushing to her side.
"I think Krysta knows I am holding another baby and is jealous. She is kicking me and it hurts." He slipped his hands around Alice's waist resting them on her stomach.
"Alright, so now that we have all this boy stuff, we need someone to go shopping for some girl clothes. She is just too cute to wear blue." Rose said.
"I'll go!" Alice said.
"I will too, but I will not leave until I get to hold my niece or nephew." Bella said eying the babies.
"OK fine. Here you go." Alice sighed handing over Leah.
"Hey sweetheart. This makes me want another baby." Bella said.
"Well, I think you should forget shopping and go find my brother." I suggested.
"He says not right now. Not until Lillian gets a little bit older."
After awhile, I handed Alice my credit card. "Don't kill it!" I warned them.
"Yes sir!" They said giggling.
"Bella, it's Lillian's nap time isn't it?" Jasper asked.
"She'll be OK." Bella said.
"Let me take her. I am taking the boys to get them something to eat, but Lillian can come to. I can take them all home and give her a nap." Jasper told her.
"Are you sure?" Bella asked.
"Yes, you girls go have fun." He told her.
"Thank you." She said handing Lillian to him.
(Bella)
Alice and I headed to the mall. "I can't believe after all this time of thinking they were boys and she has a little girl." I said.
"Oh I know and they are so cute!" Alice sighed rubbing her stomach and smiling.
"Your next."
"How bad is it? Labor I mean?" Alice asked.
"Hurts like hell, but worth it. You some how forget about all of the pain the first time you hold your baby."
We took our time walking through the mall shopping for baby girl things. We got her tons of clothes, diapers, shoes, and blankets. Alice even picked out three little girl purses, for her daughter and nieces.
Jasper called saying that Lillian had fallen asleep as soon as he put her in the car. He had gotten the boys food and went back to the house. He thanked me for letting him practice. I couldn't wait to see him as a dad.
When Rose was pregnant with Chris, Alice caught baby fever big time. Mom and dad were afraid she was going to come home pregnant before she married Jasper, but Jasper wasn't ready at all. He went as far as telling her that he was afraid of kids and being a dad. They got into a huge fight over it and he told her he didn't know if he even wanted kids at all. It broke Alice's heart. She told him she didn't know if she could be with someone who didn't want kids. They broke up and were miserable for about 3months. The day Chris was born, Jasper showed up at the hospital to find Alice holding their nephew. The look in his eyes changed as he walked over to get a closer look. They managed to talk things out and he admitted that he was scared of what kind of dad he would be. Dad spent a lot of time talking him through that, and the family breathed a sigh of relief when they announced that they had gotten back together.
"How many people can I have in the delivery room?" She asked.
"According to Edward every doctor is different. While most only allow two extras some allow more than that. You just need to ask your doctor."
I defiantly want mom in there, but I am going to ask about having you and Rose in there also."
"That would be awesome." I told her
We got back to the hospital and Rose was asleep. Emmett and mom were holding the babies. "Took you long enough." Emmett said holding his hand out for his credit card. "Was there anything left in the store when you left?"
"Give us a little credit..."
"I did give you a little credit...my credit card." Emmett interrupted.
"As I was saying, if you would give us a little credit, we didn't even kill your credit card. Abused it and tortured it yes, but didn't kill it." Alice said.
"We got her some really cute stuff." I said.
Alice sat down next to Emmett on the couch as he held Leah. "She's amazing Emmett." She said touching her small hand.
"Soon it will be you." He told her She nodded. "You are going to make a great mom." He said putting his hand on her stomach. "Wow, does she do this a lot?" He asked.
"All the time." She replied.
"Alice, I want to tell you how sorry I am that I wasn't there for you when you had the miscarriage. As your big brother, I should have been there."
"It's OK Emmett, no one but Jasper, mom and dad knew."
"Why?" He asked.
"I was too ashamed that I couldn't have a baby like you guys." She whispered.
I watched as he took her in his arms and hugged her. "That must have been really hard. I'm sorry." He whispered.
(Esme)
That night I stayed at the hospital to help while everyone else went home. Rose had tired to get up and walk, but she was sore. Not long after the epidural wore off, she did take a pain pill, but she said it made her feel really weird and when she tried to nurse, she felt like she was dropping the babies. "Rose honey, just rest. We will wake you up if the babies need to eat." Emmett said sitting next to her.
"Will you hold me?" She asked.
He smiled, placing Jacob into her arms. He climbed into the bed and put his arms around his wife and son. "You make beautiful babies." He whispered kissing her.
The night was long. The babies were up and down at opposite times. We would get Leah to sleep and Jacob would wake up hungry. It went like that most of the night. I was beginning to understand why people had kids at young ages. This was hard.
By 4am Rose was sitting in the bed crying. "Rose honey, what's the matter?" I asked.
Emmett had gone down to get some coffee and use the restroom. Jacob was asleep in his little bed and I was holding Leah, who was starting to get fussy. She held her close trying to get her to latch on. As soon as she did, Rose cringed. "This hurts. I don't remember it being so painful with the boys." Rose said crying.
I quickly sent a text to Emmett saying that he needed to get back quickly. "Rose, relax." I said putting my arm around her.
"What's going on?" Emmett asked coming back into the room with cans of pop and coffee.
"I am exhausted, I hurt so bad, and my nipples are sore." Rose sobbed. Leah let go of Rose and started crying. I knew Rose in this state would not be able to nurse Leah, so I took her and walked with her.
Emmett, gently took Rose in his arms. "Honey, what can I do to make this better?" He asked.
"I don't know I just hurt so bad." She sobbed into him.
"Honey, if you are hurting this badly, you need to take a pain pill." He whispered.
"I can't they make me so sleepy, that I feel like I am going to drop them when I hold them." She cried. "I just don't know if I can do it."
"Do what honey?" He asked looking at her dead in the face.
"Nurse both of them, it just hurts too bad." She took an unsteady breath. "I feel like a failure."
"Oh Rose." He sighed. "You are in no way a failure. This is a lot to take on. Do not feel guilty." He said leaning over pushing the call button.
"What are you doing?" She whimpered.
"I am going to get you some pain pills and get our daughter a bottle." He said gently.
"How can I help you?" A nurse asked politely.
"She hasn't had any pain pills since a lot earlier and she's exhausted." Emmett explained.
She looked at Rose's charts. "Well Rose, why haven't you take anything?" She asked.
"They make me feel funny and I can't feed my kids as sleepy as it makes me." She said trying her hardest to stop crying.
"OK listen, for right now I am going to get you some pain meds. That way you can rest and in the morning things will seem easier." She said patting Rose's leg gently. Emmett had taken Leah and she was sucking happily on his pinky finger.
"Can you get me some formula?" Rose asked as a tear slipped down her face.
"Sure honey." She said and left.
I put my arm around my daughter and hugged her. "Rose, I am so proud of you. You are an amazing mom."
"Then why am I so miserable?" She cried.
"You just had two beautiful babies. The labor was intense and you had a c-section. You add that on not much sleep the last few nights, honey you are human." I whispered.
The nurse returned minutes later with pain meds and formula. Rose took Leah and gave her a bottle after she had taken her pills. "Much easier." She sighed. Around 5:30, Rose was asleep and Emmett was finishing up giving Jacob him bottle and put him in his little bed.
"Look at them." He said admiring his children.
I put my arm around his waist. "They certainly are beautiful."
(Emmett)
The next day, Rose seemed a little happier. She was still sore, but she realized how much better she felt after taking pain pills. She also decided that she would pump, which allowed me to help a lot more and her to get more rest. With Rose as tired as she was, I called everyone and said
no to visitors. They boys were disappointed, but they had to understand that their mom was just too tired. Mom went home that morning to rest and throughout the day, Alice and Bella came up to help out.
They released Rose 4days later. She was still pretty sore and walking was very painful, but she was doing OK. Mom said she would bring the boys home once I got Rose and the twins settled. She would be staying with us for a few days, since I had to be back to work the next day.
I took the twins in first and then came back for Rose. I opened her door. "Are you ready?" I asked.
"You have no idea how ready I am. I can't wait to sleep in my own bed." She said. I carried her into the house carefully and put her on the couch. She reached up and wrapped her arms around me, pulling her close to her. "I love you so much Emmett." I started to respond, but she silenced me with a kiss. Our tongues began battling for dominance. I felt her sigh and she stopped the kiss. Our foreheads resting against each other. "This is all we get for the next 6 weeks." She sighed.
We hadn't had sex much anyway since the last few weeks of her pregnancy were kind of rough. The last time we tried to be together, we got half way and she started having contractions and we had to stop.
Mom brought the boys home right as Jacob and Leah wanted to eat. "Hi mom." Chris said coming over and sitting next to her and Jacob.
"Want to feed her?" She asked.
"How?"
"Just hold her and the bottle in her mouth." Rose smiled.
"I guess. They don't have teeth yet right?" He joked.
"Seriously, what is up with the teeth talk?" I asked.
"Inside joke." Chris replied. I stood back and watched impressed. He had distanced himself from his mom when she told them she was pregnant. I was glad he was coming around.
I got tons of pictures of both of my sons feeding their brother and sister.
"You feel complete don't you Rose?" Mom asked.
"You know I really do." She told her.
A/N Just a very few more chapters to go.
