Chapter 29

EPOV

Epilogue 1


"Daddy, why's momma so grumpy? She's mean," Avery said as she pushed her broccoli around on her plate. Her bottom lip was pushed out and her nose was scrunched up.

I shook my head at my silly seven year old daughter, "Avery, momma doesn't mean to act that way. She's grumpy 'cause she can't get outta bed. It's called bed-rest, sweetie. Her doctor said she has to stay in bed until we have to go to the hospital." I tried to explain to her the best I could, but our other daughter Mackenzie, decided to throw her two cents in. And for being six, she was too smart for her own good.

"Then take her to the hospital now, Daddy, so she won't be mean anymore."

"Kenze, momma doesn't need to go to the hospital, right now."

My daughters were right about Bella being grumpy and mean. I was afraid to enter my own bedroom; afraid something would get thrown at me.

Bella was currently on bed-rest for another three to five weeks. Being thirty-two weeks pregnant with twins girls was making her evil and I was getting the entire blame. One, because she was pregnant, again, for the fourth time. Yes, a year after Mackenzie, she ended up pregnant. That was entirely my doing. I'm an ass and tricked her. How I pulled it off would be a whole different story, but it happened and I was completely ecstatic about it, because we finally got our boy.

The twins were a complete and total surprise. As much as we had sex, it was bound to happen, but she swore that the IUD that she had put in after Lucas was born was 99.9% effective, but only if the thing stayed in place. Apparently, it fell out and she didn't realize it. But then again, the thing was so damn small that it could've fallen out when she sat down to piss and didn't feel it slip out. When she finally realized she hadn't had a period in almost three months and her clothes were getting a little tight around the waist, she went to see the doctor. When they did an ultrasound to see what was happening in her uterus, they found no IUD and it's it place, a sack with two growing babies. She said that taking care of a house full of kids and trying to keep up with work, her period simply slipped her mind.

The night she told me she was pregnant and with twins was so damn cute. She asked for help from Rosalie by asking her to keep the kids for us for the night. She knew I wouldn't be upset about the pregnancy by any means, so when she prepared dinner, she put two of everything on my plate.

Two baby carrots, Two peas, Two small pieces of meat, and last but not least, she only put two ice cubes in my drink.

It still didn't click what she was trying to tell me, and I didn't really pay attention to so little food on my plate. I was already over the moon about another baby. That was until she placed a small bag in front of me. When I pulled the contents out, I nearly lost it.

There were four tiny yellow baby booties and a t-shirt that said "I Make Twins...What's Your Superpower?"

I could've screamed from the roof top. After that, I showed her what my super power was...over and over.

Our one and only son, at the moment, was making a funny face out of his mashed potatoes. He was using his broccoli for ears and hair. "Lucas, please don't play with your food."

"Sorry, Daddy." He pouted and pushed his plate away. "I wanna go see Mommy." Bless him, he was our four year old and has his mother completely wrapped around his tiny finger. I figured it was because he was our only boy.

I sighed, closing my eyes and letting my head drop back. "Scrape your plate in the trash and you can go on up to see your mother. Be quiet just in case she's sleeping."

I had already taken Bella up her dinner and high-tailed it out of the room before she had a chance to blame me for something else that I didn't have any control over.

Lucas didn't waste any time doing as he was told and ran up to see Bella. "He's such a baby."

"Kenze, please?" I blew out a huge breath and stood from the table to start clearing it.

I was currently on a leave of absence from work. Only until I knew Bella was going to be okay with all the kids. She didn't want to hire a Nanny, but she wasn't going to have any choice once I went back to work. All the rest of our family was busy with kids and work, that they barely found time for themselves let alone come and cater to our household. I had no clue how Bella took care of all of us on her own, but she did it. It was driving her insane to not be able to get up from the bed unless she needed to use the bathroom or bathe.

I made my way upstairs once I got the girls settled with a Barbie movie. When I walked into my room, Lucas was cuddled up next to Bella, asleep. "Shh, he just fell asleep."

"Do you want me to move him to his room?" I sat down on the bed next to her. "Or do you need more Mommy time?"

"He's fine until you're ready for bed." She dragged her fingers through Lucas' hair, then looked up at me. "What's the girls doing?"

"Barbie, what else?" I got up from the bed to pick up Bella's dinner tray. "I'll be right back. As soon as the girls are done watching their movie, I'll get them bathed and send them your way."

Bella raised her hand up, beckoning me with her finger. "C'mere, mister. I wanna kiss before you head back downstairs."

I sat the tray back on the bedside table and leaned over, pressing my lips to hers. She had other ideas, though. She wrapped her arms around my neck, causing me to brace myself on the headboard of the bed so I wouldn't fall over and land on her and Lucas. She pulled back, looking up at me, whispering. "I'm so horny, Edward."

I growled, pressing my lips to her, again. I pushed my tongue into her mouth to let her know I was, indeed, horny as well. After a minute or so of a very heated kiss, I pulled back, whispering, "Later. Let me get the kids taken care of."

Bella sighed, dropping her hands down on top of her, very prominent, belly. "Hurry, okay." She rubbed her hands over our girls. "Oh, and Alice is picking the kids up in the morning upon the insistence of Kendal because she has some kind of gossip to share with Avery. Then she'll drop Lucas off at day camp."

I shook my head wondering how long it would take for them to understand the concept of the telephone, but Alice and Jasper didn't have a home phone because Alice felt it was unnecessary. Although, Jasper seemed to think it would be better for Alice's business if they had one for a fax machine.

We had to have one, on the other hand, because Bella needed it for work. She had clients faxing pages and pages of their stories over to her, every day. I was sure that sometime in the future everything was going to be done by a computer and the internet.

I quickly got the rest of the dishes put in the dishwasher, got the girls bathed, got their stuff ready for the next day and ushered in to say goodnight to their mother. "Now, go say goodnight to Mommy while I take Lucas to his room."

Both girls scurried down the hall and rushed into my room where they bounced up on the bed, not caring that their brother was asleep. Bella reprimanded them by loudly whispering, "GIRLS! Watch Lucas, please?"

"Sorry," they said back in a whisper of their own. They made their way off the bed and around to the other side where they could hug and kiss Bella goodnight. "Night, Momma. Love you."

"I love you, too. Auntie Alice is picking you up in the morning so make sure you're ready by the time she gets here." She kissed their foreheads once more and swatted their bottoms as each turned to leave the room.

I followed them to their room after I laid Lucas in his bed. They shared a room, right now, because the guest room was turned into a nursery for the twins. Eventually, James was going to add on to the house because we were outgrowing the home he built for us years ago. Once the twins turn a year old, the whole upstairs would be renovated. We were adding two more rooms and a bathroom off of each one.

After I tucked the girls in nice and tight, we shared hugs and kisses before I made my way back to my, very horny, wife. "Night, Daddy. Love you."

"Night, girls. Love you, too." I made sure the night light was on before I closed the door.

Walking into my room was completely welcomed. Bella was naked, lying on her side with one leg bent, spread wide open. Her pregnant belly was on full display as well as her fingers nestled between her promise-land folds. "You couldn't wait, could you?"

"Just because I'm on bed rest doesn't mean I don't get horny. Doc said sex was fine as long as you didn't pound the hell outta me. Which, we both know, you love way too much."

I raised my brows at her as I pulled my shirt over my head. "Excuse me, I love way too much? If I remember correctly, what was it you were saying the last time we had sex...Oh,Edward, harder, harder?"

"Oh, shut up and get your sexy ass over here." She was still rubbing her clit as she watched me undress. My dick grew harder the more I watched her.

I was undressed in a flash and crawling in behind her. It was uncomfortable for her lying on her back, so we either lay on our sides or she rode me. Occasionally, I'd get her on all fours, which I might add, was by far my favorite, but since she was already on her side, I was taking her lead.

I reached around and rubbed across our daughters before I eased my hand down to move her hand out of the way. I began kissing and licking along her neck. She tilted her head back, offering her lips to me. Our kiss began slowly until I pushed two fingers inside of her and began to take my wife to the edge.

With as big as she currently was, I had no other choice than to take her from behind with her leg up as far as it could go. It still felt amazing any way I could make love to my wife. Neither one of us lasted too long before we began to spasm from our orgasms. I held her tight against me as I came deep inside her. She was quietly whimpering as she quaked around me. "I love you so damn much."

"I love you, too." She whimpered more as I slowly pumped in and out of her. I had my eyes closed as I stayed wrapped around her. I could feel her heart beating as fast as mine. They were nearly the same rhythm as we laid there calming from our lovemaking.

Once we were calmed down, I helped Bella get cleaned up then snuggled into bed next to her. We had our hands laying across her stomach as we felt the twins dancing inside her stomach. I had felt our babies moving inside her countless times, but to feel twins kicking and punching was the same but extra feet and hands flailing around their temporary home. "I can't believe there's two in there."

Bella chuckled. "It feels like there's two in there." I started kissing all around her stomach then felt one of the twins kick so hard that if I didn't know any better, it would leave a bruise on Bella's stomach. "Looks like you have another Daddy's girl on your hands."

"Four Daddy's girls." I couldn't hold my smile back. "I wouldn't have it any other way."


"You're doing good, baby. Just one more push and you're done." Bella had been in labor for more than eight hours. Her poor face was bright red from where she'd been pushing our daughters, out.

Baby A had already been born, five minutes before and she was working on Baby B. We hadn't told anyone what we were naming them or the fact that they were identical. It would be a complete surprise to everyone. Unlike with Lucas and Mackenzie, everyone knew the moment we did.

Bella let out a scream as she bore down, pushing. "God, it hurts!"

"I know, baby; almost there. Her head's almost all the way out." Encouragement was all I had for her. I couldn't take her pain away, nor could I get the baby out. It was all up to her and the doctor.

One more huge push and the doctor instructed Bella to stop pushing so she could do suction. A minute later, one more push and our second twin was born. Loud, newborn, cries were heard throughout the room. Bella flopped back on the bed, breathing hard. "Is she okay?"

"Perfect," the doctor said as she cleaned the baby off before laying her on Bella's stomach. "Give us a few minutes and you can have both the babies."

It took forty-five minutes before they had Bella all cleaned up and ready to hold both of our daughters. The twins were nestled in their blankets with little pink caps on their heads, both asleep.

I had gone out to inform everyone that they had finally arrived. I didn't know any weights or measurements at the time, so once they were able to visit, they'd all know.

I was so amazed how they looked exactly alike with dark hair. I only hoped they had their mother's eyes. Bella's eyes were the most beautiful eyes that I had ever seen.

Another thirty minutes passed before I headed out to the waiting area to let everyone know that Bella had been moved to her room and was ready for visitors. It was the middle of the day, so we had a few more hours before the visiting schedule was over. My mom poked her head in first, followed by Renee. Avery, Kenze and Lucas were right along with them.

Slowly, everyone pushed their way in, easing up to the bed to get a peek at the babies. I encouraged our other three kids to sit next to their mother so they could be the first to see their sisters.

"Oh, momma, she's so cute," Mackenzie said as she peeked at the baby in Bella's right arm. Then she gasped as she looked at the other baby. "They look just like each other."

I heard my mother, along with Renee, let out a little squeal. Alice was bouncing on the pads of her feet, clapping her hands, quietly.

I looked around the room at everyone, smiling widely. "It's because they're identical. This means we'll never be able to tell them apart unless we dress them differently or they have different haircuts."

My Dad made his way over to me, pulling me in for a strong hug. "Congrats, son. You've definitely got your hands full, that's for sure."

Charlie was next. He pretended like he was punching me in the stomach before he pulled me in for a tight bear hug. He whispered in my ear. "Are you done knocking my daughter up, now?"

I released a nervous laugh, purposely not answering that question. "Congrats, kiddo. You two have beautiful kids," David said from behind Charlie. He was, surprisingly, still around. He had finally found true happiness in his life. He married Mrs. Mason and I had never seen the two of them happier.

Little by little, all of our guests gave us their congrats. James and Vicki; Emmett and Rosalie; Alice and Jasper; Their kids trailed behind them trying to get a peek at the girls.

"Okay, now that everyone's had their peek at the babies, what's their names?" That was Gracie. She was a spitting image of her mother and a spitfire now that she was a teenager.

Bella and I looked at each other before answering. Bella handed over the baby she had on her left, to me, patting the free spot next to her for her sister. I sat down in the recliner, letting Lucas climb up in my lap. Thankfully we had marked an A and B on the corners of their blankets, so we'd know which baby we were holding.

"Since I'm holding Baby A, I'll be first. Everyone, this is Novalee Lillian, weighing in at five pounds, six ounces. She was born six and a half minutes before her sister," Bella said, pulling the blanket down so everyone could get a good look at her face.

"And this other beauty over here is Natalie Reese, weighing in at five pounds four ounces." I couldn't help but look down and smile at the precious gem in my arms. Lucas was beside himself, looking at his baby sister. He was now a big brother, which made him all the happier.

I thought back to the time in my life before I met Bella. She had definitely fulfilled every one of my dreams and then some.


Thanks again,
