Chapter 37

BPOV

All I wanted to do was sleep but the contractions made that impossible. No position I tried was comfortable and I was feeling miserable. Even with the epidural the contractions were still unbelievably uncomfortable and I just wanted them to stop. It was now well past midnight and they were coming around seven minutes apart and last time Emma checked I was nine centimetres dilated. I just wanted this to be over already.

We'd called Charlie and he'd promised he'd be on the earliest flight possible so we didn't need to worry about him until later tomorrow morning.

I'd got Edward to send everyone home at around one so it was just the two, well four, of us waiting it out. Alice and Rose wanted to camp out in the waiting area but I insisted they go home. We didn't need to have everyone being sleep deprived and grouchy like I was.

I tried to convince Edward to get some sleep too but he insisted on staying up with me. So we'd spent the last two hours with him sitting on the edge of the bed humming my lullaby to me as I sweated, panted and groaned my way through my contractions.

Nurses and doctors had been moving in and out of the room every half hour or so, either to check on me or to set up the equipment for when the boys finally arrived. There were two oddly shaped beds, if that's what you could call them, several different monitors, oxygen equipment and many other contraptions I couldn't identify.

When my contractions started to come at around four minutes apart I felt this overwhelming urge to push. I tried to resist though, too afraid of hurting the boys because I didn't know what I was doing. Edward rushed out of the room and called Emma in. She asked me a few odd questions and checked me again.

"Okay Bella it's almost time to push." Emma announced happily. I wanted to hit her for being so chipper at a time like this. Here I was sweating like a pig and experiencing the worst pain I'd ever felt in my life and she was happy? Luckily she left the room quickly and foiled my plan, only to return after a moment with a legion of medical personnel.

Everyone moved around setting up equipment and getting into position as Emma helped me lift my legs up into the stirrups."When I say 'push' you need to push as hard as you can and don't stop until I say so. You got it?" She stressed. I nodded and tried to prop myself up further on the bed.

I felt the next contraction start and Emma yelled "Push!" And I did. In a way it felt better to push but in others it was a whole lot worse. I could hear Edward cheering me on and the nurse counting slowly next to me. All I wanted to do was reach over and smack her for counting so slow.

"Three...Two...One...Okay Bella you can stop now."

I fell back onto the pillows behind me. There was no way I was going to be able to do this twice; I was already ready to pass out.

"You're doing great Love." Edward whispered, brushing my sweaty hair off my face.

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT." I growled.

He laughed. "I know. But I'm not sorry."

"YOU SHOULD BE!"

"Okay Bella time to go again." Emma announced as I pulled myself up again.

"Push!"

We repeated this for close to an hour before Emma announced she could see Matt's head. I let out a shaky laugh at the thought of this being over soon. However it was cut short when I realised that I still had to do this all over again for Andy.

"Alright Bella one last big push and we should have him out." Emma encouraged me.

"I can't." I whimpered. I could barely lift myself up, let alone push.

"Yes you can Bella." Edward told me. "One more and we get to see our first baby boy. One more."

"WELL YOU PUSH THEN!" I yelled at him.

"Push NOW Bella." Emma yelled. Edward and a nurse helped lift me up and I pushed with everything I had. It was even more painful than anything I'd experience so far. I'm sure I must have scared some of the other women in the ward with my screaming. I wanted to stop but Edward and all the nurses just kept cheering me on.

Suddenly the pressure disappeared and I fell back on the pillows, completely exhausted. Seconds later a small cry broke the silence.

"It's a boy." Emma smiled. "Would you like to cut the cord Daddy?" She asked Edward. He nodded and took the scissors from her. When he was done Emma held up the tiny baby for me to see before handing Matt off to a nurse to get cleaned up.

That was my baby boy.

He looked so small.

Edward had the biggest smile on his face as he watched the nurses with Matthew. I couldn't see anything from my vantage point. "Go over." I told him.

Edward turned to look at me as if I was insane. "Are you sure?"

"I can't see and I know you want a better look. Please go over." I begged him. I wanted to know what my first son looked like; I hoped he had Edward's hair. Edward smiled wider and jumped up to go and have a closer look at Matthew, picking up on of Emmett's stupid cameras on his way.

"Rest up now Bella. You'll need your strength for the next one." Emma told me as she jotted something down on my chart.

"When do we start again?" I asked wearily. I didn't think I could do that again, I wanted sleep.

"When baby number two gets properly into position we will start again." She told me kindly. "For now just rest and don't worry."

"He's beautiful." Edward proclaimed as he returned to my side.

I laughed. "Well if he looks anything like his daddy..."

"He has your hair." Edward said happily. "And lots of it." I wished I could go over and see him but there were too many people surrounding him and I physically couldn't get up. "He's got my nose though." Edward laughed.

"I'm glad." I said sleepily.

"You did good Bella." Edward said giving me a kiss. I threw myself into the kiss with maybe just a little too much excitement, but after only a few seconds I had another contraction and had to pull away.

My contractions continued for several more minutes without any change in Andy's positioning and I was beginning to get stressed. "Come on Andy..." I whined at my stomach ignoring the sniggers and 'awwwww's from the nurses. "Mummy's tired and you need to come out now."

"I'm just going to ask you to roll on your side Bella. It might help him get into position." I nodded and Edward helped me roll over. Not even two minutes later the foetal monitor started beeping like crazy, successfully scaring the crap out of me.

"WHAT'S HAPPENING?" I yelled.

All I did was roll on my side. I thought.

"It's okay Bella. Calm down." Emma insisted. "The contractions are putting a lot of stress on your baby. At the moment there is no cause for worry but if he doesn't come out on his own very soon we're going to have to perform a C-section. Now we need you to roll back okay?" How was she so calm about all of this?

"Roll, roll, roll, push, push, push, that's all I do." I mumbled trying to keep myself from freaking out.

When I was lying on my back again the monitor calmed down and Emma looked slightly relieved. I turned to look at Edward and found him staring at me looking completely freaked out.

"NO! You're not allowed to freak out Edward." I told him. I couldn't deal with three babies right now. He swallowed loudly and rearranged his features into an almost convincing smile.

Another series of contractions later and Andy had finally got himself into position. I felt like I was going to pass out at any moment, all the pushing for Matthew's birth and the pain from the contractions had sapped my energy. I wasn't sure how I was going to find the strength to push Andy out.

"Okay Bella, it's time to go again." Emma informed me.

I got Edward to help me sit up more and got ready for the next round of pushing and contractions. But something didn't feel right.

"What's wrong Bella?" Edward asked worriedly, noticing my perplexed expression.

"It just feels different to before." I said. I had no time to say anything else before another contraction started and Emma was telling me to start pushing again. Once I started pushing I could definitely tell something was different. The foetal monitor started beeping loudly again.

"Something's wrong." I told Emma.

She looked at the read out from the monitor and started muttering hurriedly with the nurses. I couldn't understand a word she was saying. It all happened too fast.

"Bella we need to get the baby out now. He's under a lot of stress and his heart rate is dropping. We think the reason for this is that he's trying to come out feet first, which we don't want. We need to prep you for surgery okay?"

"GET HIM OUT!" I started to yell.

"Bella calm down." Edward tried to sooth me as we started to move out of the room. "It's going to be fine. Just relax."

"WE NEED TO GET HIM OUT!" I repeated.

"And we will Bella, but for now you need to calm down. Otherwise you risk placing even more strain on your baby." Emma informed me.

I tried to calm down, but I wasn't doing a very good job. It wasn't supposed to go like this.

"Bella? Look at me." Edward begged pulling me to face him. "It's going to be okay. We're going to get him out and he'll be just as perfect as Matt. Alright?"

I only managed a small nod in response.

Once we reached the OR Edward was pulled away to scrub up and another doctor came over to prep me for the C-section. A screen was put up infront of me so I couldn't see anything that was going on with the other nurses and doctors.

I was starting to freak out again until Edward reappeared a couple of minutes later dressed in scrubs and took my hand. "How are you doing Love?"

"I don't know." I whispered. I was torn between feeling relieved that I wouldn't have to find the strength to push Andy out and scared shitless about my baby not being okay. But mostly I was just exhausted.

"Can you feel this Bella?" Emma asked me from behind the screen.

I couldn't feel anything. What was she talking about?

"No. I can't feel anything." I told her, fighting the sleepy feeling that was taking over my body.

"Okay. Looks like we're ready everyone."

"What are they doing?" I asked Edward. He looked around the screen for me.

"They're cutting a-"

"I don't want to hear it." I squeaked. It wasn't going to do anyone much good if I threw up right now, and that's exactly what would have happened if he'd finished his sentence.

Edward pulled out one of the cameras again and snapped a few photos of Emma as she worked.

"Put the camera down Edward." I moaned. I didn't want photos of me having my stomach cut open.

"Everyone's going to want to see this Bella." He said snapping a few more photos. "I promise you'll never have to look at them if you don't want."

"He's almost out." Edward announced excitedly after a few more minutes.

I wanted to be as excited as he was but I was simply too tired to keep my eyes open any longer. Now that I could no longer feel the contractions I had nothing keeping me awake. All I wanted to do was sleep for a year.

A small cry broke me from my stupor. I caught a brief glimpse of a small pink person over the top of the screen before the exhaustion overwhelmed me and I passed out.

---

I woke up in a different hospital room some time later.

Edward was sleeping in the chair next to my bed, snoring quietly. I smiled as I watched him sleep but I could shake the feeling that something was off.

Then it hit me.

This strange empty feeling in my stomach.

My babies weren't inside of me anymore. I looked around the room hoping to see them somewhere but they weren't there. My babies were gone.

Where were my babies?

The accelerated beeping of the heart monitor woke Edward up and he was at my side immediately.

"Bella? How do you feel Love?"

I removed the oxygen mask that was over my face. "Empty." I answered. Touching my surprisingly tender stomach. "Where are they boys? Are they okay?" I asked worriedly.

I needed to know my boys were safe. They had to be.

His smile was almost blinding. "Yes Love they're perfect. But Bella, there's one thing you need to know...Andy's a girl."

Don't look at me like that. You all knew it was going to happen lol I was so temped to leave you all hanging at "you need to know..." but I decided to be nice.
