Carlisle nodded. "Is she asleep?"

"Yes," I responded. "We should tell Charlie and Renee really soon."

"Agreed." Jasper said.

"Maybe we could speak with her about in the morning. Isn't Charlie's birthday a little less than a week away?"

I thought about it for a moment before nodding. "Yes. We could try and tell him then. Good idea."


I laid with Bella and looked out the window as the sun began to rise, turning the sky into a beautiful shade of yellow to pink to purple to blue. Looking next to me, Bella was still sleeping, her upper body on my chest, her warm hand open over where my beating heart would be. I smiled as I watched her carefully. My wife is pregnant, it is something that greatly excites me, but I am also very worries.

To a normal couple, twins would not be anything to be extremely concerned over. Though, seeing as we knew how dangerous the pregnancy with Renesmee would have been, I am just scared. I do not want to lose her. Though I am concerned, I am extremely happy by the fact that she and I would indeed get the chance to have our little Renesmee but we also would have the chance to have our precious little girl.

I started to notice a change in Bella's heartbeat, so I knew that she was waking up. I watched her carefully as she groaned a little, a sound she usually made when she woke, as she stretched, reaching her hands up to the headboard. She opened her eyes and smiled at me as she moved over me, straddling my hips, holding onto the headboard, and stretching herself, her body looking so soft, supple, and sexy.

I smiled and placed my hands on her hips, my thumbs rubbing her lower abdomen on the sides of her very small baby bump. "Good morning love. You're in a great mood this morning."

Bella smiled and nodded. "Of course I am. I have my..." Bella slowly spoke, "sexy husband," she sad as she ran her soft and teasing fingers down my chest, "I'm pregnant," she smiled even wider, "and I'm surrounded by everyone that I love more than life itself." She leaned down and kissed me just under my jaw. "Of course I am extremely happy." Her eyes averted down my body as she bit her lip. "I wish your family was hunting today."

I crooked an eyebrow. "Why is that love?" I asked.

Bella leaned downwards so that her mouth was right next to my ear. "Because I would ravish you and your body right here and now." I gasped, my eyes wide. "You're so beautiful and so overly sexy to me." She winked at me as she leaned down again and kissed me passionately. I was beyond shocked.

oh my god! I could hear Emmett laughing. I think Bella really did dazzle him this time

Alice giggled and I nodded. "You are overly sexy to me too love, but perhaps while you are not feeling well, it may not be best to be intimate that way until we are sure that this situation is safe for that kind of... um... activity."

Bella sighed and nodded. "You're right. I'm sorry honey."

I shook my head. "You will never have a reason to apologize to me over that."

Bella nodded and moved to get off of me but I shook my head. "How about a nice warm bath for you while I go and get your bloody Mary."

"I think it is funny that we are using an alcoholic beverage name for that." Bella said as I carried her to the bathroom.

"You never know, that donated blood could have came from a girl named "Mary." I chuckled as Bella sat down.

"So, can I go downstairs while you get me that bloody mary? I want to spend time with the family." Bella asked.

I nodded. "Sure, love." Winking at her, I took her carefully into my arms just after she relieved her body of its natural human functions. Making haste, we made our way down the stairs as I set her down on the couch in the living room with all of my family members. After I did this, I hurried to the kitchen to grab her the drink she needed. I had to not breath when pouring the thick red contents into the styrofoam cup. It wasn't tempting, but still, didn't want to risk anything.

After putting a lid on the cup and quickly cleaning the countertop, I brought the cup out to Bella and she smiled.

"Thank you honey." She said, smiling.

I chuckled as I sat down next to her, It was one big Cullen gathering. It was nice, to be with everyone and feel blissful. Right now, we didn't have a worry in the world, hopefully it would stay that way.

"So, Bella?" Carlisle asked. Bella nodded to him, prompting him to continue. "So, how do you think we could tell your parents?"

Bella pursed her lips in thought. "That's a good question. I was actually thinking about that just before falling asleep last night. I know that I can't get mom back out here because she used her vacation days already... I will probably skype call her the same day that I tell Charlie. I'm a little worried actually... I know they are going to be shocked seeing as it is so soon after the wedding."

Esme shook her head. "If they are the way that I know they are, they will be ecstatic. I mean, of course there will be shock, but I'm sure they will be super happy. Plus, this happened about... what? Eight weeks after your honeymoon, at least the timing will make sense."

Alice nodded. "Yes, and plus, they might be a little more open minded about the timing and everything seeing as they do know about us."

Bella nodded.

"It did start around the same time that a normal pregnancy would... I do wonder if the growth rate will be normal as well." Esme inquired.

"I hope so. I want to experience this." Bella stated as she took another sip of her 'Bloody Mary.'

I nodded, "Me too, love."

"We... we should probably have Jake here too." Bella stated bluntly.

I grimaced and groaned. "Do we have to?"

Emmett guffawed. "Man, this is going to be one of the hard parts."

I sighed and nodded. "I guess you are right... but I just don't want Jacob to imprint on our little girl too soon either." I smiled at her. "I want the twins to be just ours for at least a couple days."

"Us too!" Emmett whined.

Carlisle chuckled. "Well, we should definitely give them a couple days, bonding with the babies and all."

Bella smiled. "It's... It's still hard to believe that I really am pregnant... even though I knew it was in our future... but still, I'm shocked but extremely happy." Bella said, gingerly petting her lower abdomen.

I nodded and placed my hand on hers too. "I feel the same, love." I smiled. "I'm over joyed."


One Week Later

We were in Carlisle's office again, as Bella laid on the bed, Carlisle examined her while also doing an ultrasound of her womb. The sweet sound of their heartbeats mixed with Bella's was almost like a soothing lullaby.

During the week there had been no changes in Bella's state other than the fact that her nausea had increased, but to aid that we increased her blood intake to four cups a day, since then she hasn't thrown up once. Due to that, we were really hopeful that the pregnancy would actually be safe.

Bella was laying in my lap on the couch and wrapped in a blanket. She was smiling and talking with the girls. "So Bella," Rosalie started. "So, we know what the one girl's name will be, but what about the second child? If it is a boy or a girl?"

I looked at Bella and smiled, excited to hear what her ideas are.

"That's a good question..." Bella started. Just as he began to speak, the house phone began to ring. Esme got up quickly and grabbed the phone recognising the number as Charlie's.

"Hello?"

"Hello Esme. How are you doing?"

"I am doing well, thank you Charlie. Would you like to speak with Bella?"

"Yes please. Thank you very much."

"You're welcome. Happy Birthday by the way."

"Thank you." Charlie said with a slight chuckle.

Esme smiled at Bella as she brought the phone over. Bella nodded thankfully as she grabbed the phone.

"Happy birthday dad!" Bella said, smiling as she moved her other hand behind her head.

"Thank you Bells. How are you doing?"

"I am doing okay dad. Are you busy today?" Bella asked.

"Actually, I am not. I was wanting to ask if you guys were. I wanted to stop over. I found a couple of your things here and I wanted to stop for a bit. Is that alright?"

My family and I smiled. "I would love to see you. You know you never have to ask. Also," Bella looked at me and nodded, "Could you bring Jake?"

"Well, alright. I will be there soon. Love you Bells."

After Bella got off the phone, she laid back in my lap as she stretched. She looked at all of us and nodded. "We should just tell him now..."

Alice nodded and ran up the stairs for a couple seconds before running back down with what looked like card and a picture in her hands. "Alice?" Bella asked.

"Well, I had an idea. It is his birthday, why not make him a card with the news in it?"

Bella grabbed the card for both of us to read.

The front of the card said "Happy Birthday"

When we opened the card, it showed elegant cursive.

Happy Birthday. You have been there for Edward and I and without your support, we wouldn't be where we are today. P.S. We love you so much, though we aren't here yet. We can't wait to meet you. See you soon, love you grandpa.

Bella and I chuckled. "A little cheesy isn't it?"

Alice shook her head. "Not really. Charlie will like it. It might even make him tear up a little." She said, winking.

"I don't want him to cry." Bella said.

"It will be a good reason."

Rosalie nodded. "So, Bella, back to names?"

Bella nodded. "Well, Edward, I was thinking that you and I could each get a piece of paper and write names we like and if they match, we use those?"

I nodded. "That's great idea love." After I agreed, Bella and I took five minutes to write down names.

"So, which ones matched?" Rosalie asked excitedly.

"Well..." I started. "I seems for a second girl it would be Arlenna Rose. And for boys we have Griffin Masen, as well as Collin Ryan."

The girls smiled. "Those sound amazing." Rosalie said.

I leaned over and pressed my lips to my wife's for a moment, just as we heard a cruiser pulling up into the driveway. Bella and I smiled at each other. "You ready Bella?"

"As ready as I'll ever be." Bella giggled.
