BPOV

I was lying in the hospital bed looking over at Edward in the chair next to me. He was holding Aiden in his arms smiling his crooked smile at the little boy.

Aiden was fast asleep. "He's seems pretty comfortable right now." Edward whispered to me and I smiled back at him.

"It's cause he's safe in his daddy's arms."

"You know he's probably going to sleep for a little bit. We can put him in the bed and you can get some rest." Edward was referring to the baby bassinet on wheels that the nurse had rolled in a little while ago.

I softly dusted my finger over Aiden's little bronze hair. "I honestly don't think I could sleep right now." I couldn't take my eyes off my son. He was small and beautiful. He had basically been asleep for the last 30 minutes since he was born.

"I really want to see his eyes." I whispered not really meaning for it to be said out loud.

I looked into Edward's eyes. "I know. He's been fairly quiet."

Just then the door opened and a woman I hadn't met before walked in with a smile. "Well it seems we have some proud parents! I'm Brenda. I'm here to help you begin nursing. That's assuming you want to breast feed of course."

I nodded. "Yes that was the plan."

"Alright then lets get started." She moved towards me stopping on the side that Edward didn't have occupied.

"But he's sleeping." I stated taking in the form of the sleeping angel in my husband's arms.

She laughed. "That he is...but you have to wake him up in order to eat. When they are that little they will sleep a lot but you need to wake him up in order to keep him nourished." She looked over at Aiden. "Are you first time parents?"

"No" Edward shook his head. "We have twins at home they will be 3 in a couple months."

"I see. I'm looking forward to meeting the darlings. Well Bella why don't you sit up and take..."

"Aiden." I offered.

"That's adorable. Take Aiden from Edward."

I sat up and gently changed Aiden from Edward's arms into mine. "Have you breast fed before Bella?"

I settled him into the crook in my arms, before looking up at her. "No. I thought about it but they didn't recommend it because I had twins. I was fairly young and they told me it would be easier to just use formula."

She nodded her head. "That's what I assumed. In most cases that is what is recommended. So I'm going to go through a few things. First of all this is a very natural part of being a mother. It shouldn't hurt and if it does that is a sign that something is off between you and your child."

I nodded my acknowledgement to show I understood what she was saying. "The body to body contact during breastfeeding is very comforting for a newborn. If you keep them bundled warmly often times you will find them falling asleep. This is perfectly fine and there is no need to wake them to finish eating."

I stopped her briefly. "Wait so I should wake him up to eat but its okay if he falls back asleep?" I wanted to make sure I understood clearly.

"Exactly. Also you may find that breastfeeding is a time to bond with your child. Aiden will get more and more comfortable with you as you go. I always suggest something known as kangaroo time as well. This is for dad. If you strip down the baby and lay him on your bare chest he will bond with you in a similar fashion to the way he does with his mother."

Edward smiled at the idea of having a way for him to have quality time with his new son as well. "One more thing. Bella, you need to find a position that is the most comfortable for you and Aiden. This may take some experimenting but don't panic you will figure it out."

She gave me a supportive smile. "Shall we wake him up?" I nodded. "Okay try first by being gentle."

I started to lightly bounce him but he stayed fast asleep. "Okay lets unwrap him a bit." Brenda suggested so I pulled down his blanket. His naked form was semi released to the colder air and he was startled.

He began to cry and my heart broke. "Shh..shh Aiden its okay baby. I know your a little cold. Its time to eat buddy."

He just continued to cry eventually his face went red and it was that eery silence that comes right before a major wail. "Breathe baby. You have to breathe."

I felt his body move slightly with a breath and out came a really loud scream. I felt awful. "Bella it's okay. This is just a sign that he's hungry." Brenda reassured me.

Brenda told me what to do and I followed instructions. I looked up at her. "Am I doing something wrong? He's not latching on."

"Oh no you're doing fine. Some babies take longer than others. Just coax him a little. Once he figures it out he'll be fine."

I tried what she advised and eventually he caught on sending a rush of silence over the room once again. "There you go baby. I knew you were hungry sweetie." I cooed to my son.

He kept his eyes closed and I ran a finger from the hand that wasn't holding him across his cheeks to wipe off the small tears. I felt his little hand move and wrap around my finger before his crystal clear baby eyes opened. I sat there staring into his for what seemed like forever.

Eventually Brenda interrupted us, "Well it seems the little guy has it all figured out now. I'll leave my card with you incase you have any questions but you should be all set. Oh I almost forgot. It is important for him to breast feed directly from you for the first couple months after that feel free to pump and use bottles. Give dad a bit of work." She winked at me and Edward chuckled beside me. "That will make Aiden feel safer until he's comfortable with his new surroundings. Good luck and congratulations!"

"Thank you." I managed to get out before she closed the door. I turned back to Edward finding him staring at Aiden still in my arms. "Edward what's wrong?"

He snapped his gaze to me quickly. "Absolutely nothing everything is perfect." He grinned widely at me.

"Then what's with the staring?" I tried to ask kindly.

He was once again looking at Aiden. "It's just so mesmerizing I don't know. It seems kind of beautiful." He returned his eyes to me. "You are beautiful." He whispered lovingly.

He leaned in and kissed my lips sweetly. When we pulled apart, Aiden unlatched and began to fuss, quieter this time so I changed him so he was lying on my other side.

Edward looked jealous. "I wish there was some way for a dad to provide for his child like that. What does it feel like?"

I blushed at him mentioning something that seemed kind of personal, however he was my husband. "I...I don't know. It's kind of indescribable." I shrugged lightly without moving Aiden too much.

When I glanced down at him I noticed that he was fast asleep. I smiled. I carefully moved Aiden in my arms and gave him to Edward. "Here. This is something you can do. You can hold him or put him down whichever you like, but someone better go get our family before the door is busted down."

"They do get kind of rowdy don't they?" I smiled and nodded. "Do you mind if it's just us three for a little while longer. It might be a while before I get to hold him again."

He was looking down at him so sweetly that I swooned nearly at the sight of his affection. "Not a problem. Take as long as you like."

Edward just continued to watch Aiden sleep peacefully in his arms until we heard a brisk knock on the door. I looked at Edward and he seemed disappointed and excited at the same time that his family would soon be in the room. "Come in!" I extended to them.

Rose and Alice both peeked their heads inside the door and I smiled and waved them into the room. All four of them quickly came in. "Oh he's sleeping." Alice cooed softly.

Her and Rose walked behind Edward and looked over his shoulder at Aiden's sleeping form. "He's so tiny!" Rose whispered, with a smiled on her face.

Edward turned to them. "Would you like to hold him?"

Rose exclaimed first, "I'd love to!" Edward gently handed her the baby and Rose smiled down at the little bundle. "He's beautiful Bella." She glanced at me and I felt myself grow prouder of the little boy in her arms. She moved over to Emmett's side and showed him off.

I had to hold back tears at the sight of my brother tenderly playing with the small amount of bronze hair on Aiden's head. "I got to give it to you sis. You and Edward make some damn cute kids." He didn't even look at me.

"Watch your language you big bear." I said laughing through it. "He's too little to hear such words."

Emmett turned to me and stuck out his tongue. I chuckled and shook my head.

Alice was still standing next to Edward and she spoke up. "How are you doing Bella. It's been quite the long day."

"I'm doing fine now. I'm sure I'll be a bit tired in a little bit but right now I'm perfect." I beamed over at her.

Rose moved back over towards Alice. "Here Alice I'm sure you want your turn with your nephew as well." Alice smiled widely and her eyes lit up with excitement as she was handed Aiden.

"Look at his bronze hair just like Edward. He is pretty small isn't he?" She noticed as she held him in her arms.

"6 lbs. 1 oz." Edward stated proudly from his chair. I noticed he was still holding my hand and when I looked down at our entwined fingers he squeezed it gently.

"Really? Geez Alexa was almost 10 pounds." Rose added.

"Yeah and Carson was 9." Alice stated then she looked down at Aiden. "You are just a little guy. But I bet you won't be for long."

I watched closely as Aiden's eyes opened and all four of them moved closer to see him, smiling sweetly and talking gently. His eyes wandered from person to person staring at each one for a few seconds. It almost seemed like he was looking for a familiar face. When one wasn't presented he began to whimper. His small whimpers soon turned into full cries.

Edward picked him out of Alice's arms and he looked into his eyes quieting down for a minute. Edward rocked him but he began to cry out again. "Well it looks like someone wants their mommy." Edward said laying Aiden down in my arms.

I looked at him and he immediately quieted down. "Hey there baby. It's okay, momma's got you now." I leaned in and kissed his forehead. Aiden's eyes closed shortly after and he settled back into sleep.

"Well we know that he's going to be a momma's boy!" Emmett stated clearly and everyone laughed.

"He's only a few hours old. He's just comfortable with me. He has been inside me for the last eight months."

"They say a baby can tell their mom's heartbeat. It soothes them." Rose stated smiling at me.

We all sat around talking for a little while before we heard another knock at the door. Esme poked her head around the door and then stepped in. "Oh look at him. He's so cute." She was soon by my side looking at Aiden.

"Mom I thought you were in Shakopee?" Edward asked confused. To be honest I think everyone in the room was a little bit confused.

"Oh I was but when I talked to you, Edward and found out that Bella was having the baby I just couldn't stay. Carlisle has all the kids at the hotel but I decided to drive and come see my new grandson. When I got here they told me what room you were in and that the new baby had been born about an hour and a half ago."

I gestured for her to get ready to hold him and soon passed Aiden into her loving arms. "This is Aiden James Cullen." I said as I placed him in her arms. Amazingly enough Aiden didn't stir at all.

"He's quite the little darling. Oh I'm so glad that I came." She bounced him lightly in her arms and smiled down at him. "You're going to be a little heartbreaker, aren't you?"

"I'm glad you could make it." I said meaning it with all of my heart. If my mother wouldn't be here than at least I knew someone that was like a mother to me would be.

She looked over at me and winked. "Not a problem. Elli and Mason are so excited to see their brother tomorrow. Carlisle is going to drive them all back here in the morning. They should be here around 10."

"I hope they like having a little brother. They are so young I'm not sure how they are going to handle the new addition." I voiced my concerns for the whole family to hear.

"They will be fine Bella. In fact they will want to play with him just as much as you do. Alexa couldn't get enough of Ethan when he was born." Rose admitted. I thought about it and realized she was probably right. Little kids always liked babies.

The door swung open and Dr. Gruidl walked in. "Why the whole family is here." She smiled at each of them.

"Did you need us to leave? We can always wait outside." Esme asked.

"Oh no you're fine. Just need to check Bella's vitals. It's no big. Wanted to come see how the little guy is doing." She marked off a few more things on the clipboard as she looked at the monitors. "You seem all set. Bella the button on your bed will call the nursery. Whenever you want them to come get him for the night just let them know."

"Could he stay here tonight?" I asked I was fairly certain that I wouldn't want them to take my baby form me tonight. Not after everything that I had been through with him.

"Of course. That is why we brought in the bassinet. Just do as you please. Once again, congratulations!" She left the room.

"Well we should probably leave you guys alone for the night. Let little Aiden get used to the big world. We will see you tomorrow I'm sure." Rose stated before coming and giving me a hug. Alice and Jasper followed.

Emmett came towards me last. "I love you Bella." He stated as he gave me a big hug.

"I love you too Emmy." I whispered back. He pulled away and left with all the family. Esme was the only person left and she was holding onto Aiden still.

"Well I suppose I should get going as well." She kissed Aiden on the forehead then moved to me handing him over. Aiden stayed fast asleep through the whole thing. Esme walked to Edward giving him a nice big hug. "I love you Edward. You've got yourself another nice looking son."

He hugged her back then she moved to me. Since I was holding Aiden she kissed my forehead. "I love you Bella, as much as if you were my own daughter. Thank you for giving me another wonderful grandchild." My eyes teared up but I sniffed and wiped them away.

She grabbed her bag and got ready to leave but turned around before opening that door. "And may I recommend giving that nursery a call? You are going to have to wake up with him every two hours soon enough. Take the rest while you can." She winked and I waved her goodbye.

It was only me, Edward, and Aiden. I felt Edward take Aiden from my arms and I watched him. He looked over at me. "Sleep love. I got him for now. I'll wake you if I need you. But you need your rest." He kissed my lips before getting comfortable in the recliner next to the bed.

I could still feel the love of his kiss lingering on my lips as I drifted into sleep.

A/N Hey everyone so it's basically over. There is only one chapter left! It's exciting and depressing for me all at the same time. That chapter should be posted later this week hopefully. I've heard many comments about a sequel and want to assure everyone that I have an idea in hand and have started on it. I want to know however if you really want it! It will be later like when Elli and Mason are teenagers.

Please review and tell me if you want one or not. I might put up a poll depending on how I feel. Lol

Thanks again to all my marvelous readers and reviewers. Thanks to my friends that kept me going when I didn't know if I wanted to or not. I love you all!
