I would like to recommend one of my friend's stories. ScarlettLetters is writing a story called Wild Swan. It is an awesome story and if you are not reading it…you should do so after you read this chapter.
I apologize for the lateness. I have been trying to upload this chapter since Friday morning! FF would not let me do so! Enjoy!

My poor Bella was ready to explode and if I was being honest…so was I. The morning that JJ was born was the LAST time that she has wanted to be intimate with me in any way. She says she is too fat for me to see her naked.
Her hormones have been even more out of control. I really wanted my daughter to be born so that I could have my wife back with me. This was getting out of hand. She had not touched me or let me touch her in THREE fucking months. I was going bat shit crazy…not to mention the fact that I was horny as hell! I had been rubbing one out more than I ever did in high school.
It did not help that even though my wife felt that she was fat and unattractive, I thought she was sexy as hell. I wanted to be inside of her all the time…and she would not let me near the Promised Land.
At night, I laid awake begging my daughter to come out of mommy already. The doctors said that her due date was July 25th because technically they gave out forty-week due dates now. But Bella was now a little over thirty-six weeks so if she were to go into labor…they would not stop it.
Finally…this morning…out of nowhere…my Bella woke me up by planting kisses all over my bare chest. "Hmmm…what do I owe this surprise to?"
"Edward! I need this baby out of me. She's making me a horrible person and I love our daughter but if she does not get out of me I am going to go insane. I feel like a whale! The doctor said sex could induce labor. So…you have…got to fuck me…now!"
Sweet Jesus, thank you! She did not have to tell me twice. I stripped out of my boxers and was hard as a rock in ten seconds flat. Just as things were getting good and Bella was taking her clothes off, I felt how wet she was for me.
"Shit, love…you are so fucking wet for me already. You've never been this wet before." She froze and stopped moving. No…no…no…not good…need to get laid.
"Edward," she gasped.
"Yes, Baby, oh yes, I am going to make you feel good I promise," I said as I kissed her neck.
She pushed me away from her. "No, Edward…my water just broke."
Fuck me.
I wanted to cry. I really thought I would start sobbing. I glared at my daughter behind the protection of Bella's stomach, "You and I are going to have a little chat about timing, little girl."

Whyyyyyyyyy?
I was beyond uncomfortable and my daughter was kicking up a storm as I lay in bed. Edward was asleep next to me, snoring softly.
Baby girl, please come out now. Come out for Mommy. Mommy wants to wear pants again that do not involve elastic panels from crotch to waist. Mommy wants to be with Daddy without feeling like a heifer. Mommy really, really, REALLY wants you to come out…right…now!
THREE months.
Three months without Edward inside me and I was going crazy.
But I felt disgusting, gross and as much as I wanted my husband, I just could not be naked in front of him like this.
I was HUGE.
I knew I was driving him insane. At one point, my poor husband offered for us to have sex with our clothes still on and just shift them aside enough to make it work. I thought about it briefly…but opted against that idea as well. I just did not feel sexy.
Finally, the kicking stopped and I rolled on my side and faced Edward.
I lay there for a while before giving up on sleep.
This is ridiculous!
That's when I remembered the little advice that my good doctor gave me.
With a plan in place, I began planting kisses all over Edward's bare and beautiful chest.
The plan would have worked. Edward would have been happy and we both would have gotten a much needed release before our daughter arrived. I already knew we would not be having sex for at least six weeks after RoAnn was born.
Only my water broke.
Mentally I scolded my daughter for timing but could not find it in me to mean it. She was coming and I would not have the waistline of a sumo wrestler anymore.
I could wear normal pants again!
"Ow, ow, OW!" I said as the first contraction seized me. I glared at Edward, knowing the pain would only get worse. "Hospital, now!"

We made it to the hospital in plenty of time. Bella was lying in bed, chewing ice chips while the baby monitor was attached to her stomach. She was only four centimeters dilated so we had awhile to go. Everyone was coming in and out of the room talking to Bella and me.
"You never decided on cherry wood or oak for the crib, Bella!" Alice was going on and on about the nursery in our new home. The house was finished two days ago and we had planned to move this next week. Alice had strong-armed my beautiful wife into letting her help design the nursery. Bella was still undecided on the final piece of furniture, the crib. Everything else was in place but she had yet to find a crib that she liked. She claimed that she had not heard one that 'talked' to her yet, telling her it was the one. Bella's nesting was odd indeed if the furniture was talking to her. But I went with it nonetheless. Anything to please my wife.
"Alice, I do not even care at this point. Give me that magazine again," Alice handed over the glossy baby magazine and Bella began flipping through the pages. "Edward, can we get the furniture moved in now? I'd really like to take our daughter to our home when we leave." Bella said as she glanced in my direction.
"Yeah, love. I'll go talk to Em and Jazz right now." I leaned over and kissed her forehead before dropping a kiss on her swollen stomach.
I passed a very pregnant Rosalie on my way out of the room. They were expecting a little girl in about two months. So far, JJ would be the only boy. I wanted to remedy that as soon as possible. I wanted to start trying for baby number two as soon as we were given the clear from the doctor. I had not shared this with my wife yet, but I prayed that she would be ready.
Emmett had been raving about all the sex they were having until I told him that the day would come…soon…when she won't let him touch her. This made him immensely quiet and a look of horror crossed his features when I told him how long Bella had been holding out on me.
I found the rest of our family out in the waiting room. Jasper had his son in his arms rocking him in the rocking chair in the corner. As I passed the nurse's station, I overheard one of them comment about how nothing was sexier than seeing a good father.
I sat down on the couch beside Emmett and across from Jasper.
"How's my nephew?" I asked.
"Sleeping finally," Jasper muttered.
JJ had a quirk. He would not sleep unless rocked, and as of the last month, only if he was being rocked by Jasper. Once he was out, he'd sleep for nearly the whole night. You could put him down and he was out like a light, but only if Jasper rocked him to sleep. Alice saw it as the universe dispensing justice against her dear husband for all the pain she was endured during childbirth. Whenever JJ cried in the night, Jasper had to get up no matter what, to put him back to sleep.
My sister swore she would never carry one of Jasper Whitlock's babies ever again. She stood true to her word. She explained to him a month after JJ was born that he was either getting a vasectomy or they were never having sex again. It was probably for the best, her tiny little body just could not handle it. JJ would be an only child. Jasper chose sex and was going to get the procedure done in a few weeks.
"Bella and I would really like to get the house set up so we can take the baby straight home, but I don't see either of us leaving the hospital anytime soon. So, I was wondering if maybe one or both of you could take the design Mussolini with you and direct the movers when they deliver the furniture?"
"No problem bro. We are on it. Rose and I have been meaning to go check out our property anyway. We'll drag Alice along with us."
"Thanks Emmett." However, his statement caught my interest. "Why were you guys already planning on heading out there?" Grandpa Cullen had divided his acreage into four even pieces. One acre was for our parents and the remaining three were for his only grandchildren.
"Rosie wants to build a house," Emmett grinned.
"Nice. Just keep the moaning and spanking to a minimum." My mind flashed to a time in high school when I accidently walked in on the two of them. I've never looked at a riding crop again.
I stood to head back in to my Bella when Emmett called out behind me, "But bro that is the whole point of living in the woods!"
I rounded the corner into Bella's birthing suite and collapsed into my chair.
"What's the point of…?" Bella's question was cut short by a gasp as another contraction started.

Edward was carrying the next child.
That was the decision I came up with as the contractions worsened.
Okay, not a physical possibility but still, I think Edward should feel some of the pain of childbirth.
Perhaps a swift kick in the balls once we get home would suffice? I probably would not actually injure my husband like that, as I was quite fond of his balls. But, I was in pain and it was nice to think of ways to hurt him inflict some pain upon him as well, since he helped make me this way.
After I choose the dark cherry wood crib and Alice got on the phone requesting it to be delivered, I mulled over the coming weeks.
No sleep, no peace and no sex.
If you had told me before that, I would not have those three things for the next couple of months I would have scoffed and said hell no in any other situation.
However, I would gladly give them up for my daughter to just get here.
I already wasn't sleeping. I had no peace because I was a raging bitch half the time and sex had been on vacation for the last three months anyway.
Once Edward came back into the room, the contractions started coming harder and faster.
As the third contraction in fifteen minutes picked up, I glared at Edward.
"Your sorry ass is never getting near me again! Do you hear me Edward Anthony?! No sex until after menopause!" My stomach seized as my uterus decided now would be the time to shoot out of my body and onto the floor. I half expected my daughter to burst forth from my belly ala Alien.
After yelling at Edward about using condoms and scheduling a vasectomy right along with Jasper's, the doctor said it was time for the drugs.
Hell Yeah!
Unlike Alice, I got my epidural and it was divine. It took the edge off and all I felt was pressure. It was uncomfortable but still, nowhere near as bad as before the wonderful drugs.
"Edward, we're not doing this anytime soon again. I want at least two years before we even think about this." I gestured to my body as another contraction gripped my stomach.
Edward's face fell but he said, "Whatever you want love." He then brushed my hair away from my sweaty forehead and planted a kiss against my cheek.
I was about to continue with my train of thought before another contraction began. They were now coming two minutes apart. My doctor came in as I focused on my breathing and checked my dilation.
With a smile, the doctor peered over my spread legs and said, "It's time."

It's time.
My mom and I had changed into scrubs earlier. Bella wanted Esme there and she was thrilled.
The big one hit as Bella gripped my hand in a vice grip.
"Push Bella," the doctor said from between my wife's thighs.
"Come on baby, you're doing wonderfully," I leaned into Bella to give her a kiss.
"Keep pushing, the head is crowning. Two more pushes and she'll be here."
I went to brush my lips across my wife's forehead when she snapped her teeth and bit…my…ear.
"Owwww! Hell!" I yelped as I pulled back from her. Bella kept my hand in a vice grip as my mother started laughing at me and my stupidity. My hand was numb, my ear stung as Bella gave a final push, and the doctor was telling us congratulations.
Roseanna was placed on Bella's stomach as she cried out into the room. She was covered in gore and she was purple. Her head was slightly coned and her face was scrunched. She looked more like an alien than a baby.
She was perfect.
The thick umbilical cord was still attached and the doctor handed me a pair of scissors and told me to cut between the clamps. I did as I was told. My right hand was free and numb from my wife's squeezing and then the nurse took our daughter to be weighed, measured and cleaned up. She weighed six pounds, five ounces and was eighteen inches long.
"You did it honey," I whispered into her ear making sure my face and ears stayed away from her mouth until I was sure she was would not go all Mike Tyson on me.
"She's so precious," Bella murmured as she watched the nurse take our daughter from the birthing suite. My mother was blubbering about her first granddaughter as I stole a kiss from my wife.
We were parents.
At 7:43 p.m. on June 29, 2009, Roseanna Allison Cullen, brightened our world.

I had fallen asleep for about an hour after I was cleaned up and moved to another room. When I awoke, the nurse was wheeling in a small bassinet with a small pink bundle inside.
"Here she is," the nurse said as she handed her to me.
I stared down into my daughter's face. Her eyes were closed and her cute little mouth was slightly open as she breathed. Everything was pink…her little cap, her swaddling blanket, her skin and her lips.
"She's so pink," I murmured. Edward sat beside me on the bed and chuckled. He had the biggest, dopiest grin plastered on his face from the moment RoAnn was born.
"Maybe this is the universe's own brand of revenge for you avoiding that color all of your life."
I glared at Edward before smiling.
"She's got you hair," Edward said referring to a dark lock peeking out from beneath the baby pink cap.
Just then our daughter decided to open her eyes and I gasped. Staring up at me were two emerald green orbs. Large, bright and just like her daddy's.
"And your eyes," I chuckled.
"How about some visitors?" Alice asked as she poked her head through the door. I looked up and nodded. Our families all quietly came in the room oohing and ahhing at the newest addition.
"She's gonna be a heartbreaker Edward," Rose said as she took in my daughter's deep green eyes and dark hair. "I don't envy you during her teenage years."
I could just see Edward when RoAnn was fifteen and begging to go on a date.
"Actually, I am having a tower built on the property. She will move into it once she hits puberty and will not come out till after menopause," Edward chuckled.
"Bella, you have had us in suspense long enough. What is my niece's name?" Alice demanded as she bounced gently on the balls of her feet with JJ zonked out on her shoulder. Alice's excitable nature had come in handy after all.
"Well…" I glanced at Edward telling him silently to take over.
"We both agree that our daughter would not be here if it wasn't for her insane and odd aunts and uncles. Bella and I both agreed that the idea of a namesake fits nicely." Edward nodded towards me as I grinned.
"May I present Roseanna Allison Cullen?"
Alice and Rose's eyes welled up with tears. Emmett bellowed, "Sweet! I can call her my little Rose!"
"Edward has already come up with a nickname for her. He and I are going to call her RoAnn."
Rose grasped Alice's hand as they cried. Alice handed JJ to Jasper and my two sisters enveloped me in hugs as best as they could with RoAnn in my arms.
"That is the sweetest thing ever! I cannot believe you named her that," Rose cried.
I was on an emotional roller coaster since giving birth and I cried back to her, "Well…neither of us would be alive if it was not for you!" Then I looked to Alice. "Edward and I would never have found our way back to each other if not for your meddling! We love you both so much. It was the only fitting name for her."
Edward was laughing but looking a little teary-eyed himself. "Alright, give me my daughter before you three squish her!"
I handed our baby girl to him and I had never been more in love with him than in this moment.
It got me to thinking.
The birth was not so bad after all.
Everything turned out alright.
I could not wait to have more of Edward's babies and I would get started on that as soon as possible.
A/N…We have given you baby RoAnn. Welcome to the world Roseanna Cullen. Friends, there is one more chapter and then the epilogue. Please review if you have the time and you will get a teaser for Chapter 32.
