SM owns all things Twilight.
Edward:
The two weeks following Italy were busy. We had to worry about local thugs trying to hijack our trucks that were loaded with not only drugs but also several of each of Mossberg 500 tactical shotgun, Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm, .45 caliber glock, Ruger SR9 semi automatic, AK-47, AR 15, and several others. This is what we were doing right now, fighting off assholes.
"To the left Em." I huffed out at Emmett while hiding behind a dumpster. I threw some shots off as a few of those assholes decided they wanted to try to gain higher grounds. Yeah, that wasn't going to happen because Leah was positioned two floors above us with her weapon of choice, ARES DSR-1 sniper rifle. I was totally happy that I was on her good side because no one was safe with that thing in her hands.
"I got him." Emmett grunted as he ran around the dumpsters along the wall to get a better shot. "These fuckers just need to stop Ed. I kid you not. I have a hot date later and I don't want to have to deal with the wrath of Rosie if I am late again."
I shot a fucker in his hand as he tried to get to one of the boxes that were dropped when we had to duck for cover. Sam, Jasper, and Ben were on the other side of the street shooting just as we were. Jacob was upstairs watching Leah's back as she fired her rifle several time finally ending this gun fight. Thank fuck.
"Thank fuck. Let's round them up, shall we?" I asked Jasper as he joined us.
"Who sent you?" Jasper asked the guy who I shot in the hand.
Clutching his hand, his response was, "Fuck you."
Jasper laughed. "Fuck me? Oh no sir, fuck you sideways."
"Oh we have a tough guy here." Laughed Ben and we all joined in.
That was how the next three hours went. We asked questions and were given answers such as fuck you, I don't know, and no one. When Emmett and Sam stepped into the picture of asking questions, these douche bags started singing pretty loud. We found out that they were just some local wanna-be gang who thought they would make a name for themselves but trying to rob us. Ha, wrong move. We kept them together under the watchful eye of Leah while us guys moved the rest of the boxes back into the truck and made sure there were no damages done to said boxes. As Jasper called the Chief, the ringleader of these fucktards decided he was going to open his mouth to Leah, however, I had no clue what he was saying.
"Hola hay azúcar. ¿Qué haces con estos gringos? Deberías venir de fiesta con nosotros bebé. Podríamos divertirnos mucho juntos. ¿Qué dice Whatcha? Hmm?" Douche bag number one said while looking up at Leah and roaming his eyes from her head to her feet. (Hey there sugar. What are you doing with this gringos? You should come party with us baby. We could have so much fun together. Whatcha say? Hmm?)
"You have got to be fucking kidding me." Yelled Leah while looking at the guy with a disgusted look on her face.
"What did he say Leah?" I asked getting worried as Sam walked around the side of the truck to where we were. He did not look happy at her outburst.
"What did he say babe?" Sam asked.
"In basic words, he wanted to know what I was doing with you guys and that I should come party with them. Ew gross." Leah answered and mimicked throwing up.
Said guy looked shocked that Leah understood him. "She speaks Spanish you fucktard." Sam yelled while kicking the asshole a few times in his sides. Fucker deserved it.
"Guys, let's load up. Leave them here. The Chief is on his way now. We will leave when his car turns onto the road. That way we can make sure these dickheads do not go anywhere." Jacob said while kicking the guy. "That's for talking nasty to my sister, stronzo." (Asshole)
We all piled into the truck and waited for the cops to show while keeping an eye on the thugs. They were talking among themselves, probably trying to get their stories straight.
"I need a drink." I said to no one in particular.
"No shit. I do to, although you aren't old enough yet Eddie." Laughed Ben punching my arm.
"I know that dumb ass. That doesn't mean I don't want one." I shrugged when everyone laughed.
"I'm pretty sure Bells is waiting for you to show your ugly mug." Joked Sam.
The police lights flashed behind us so Jasper started the truck and pulled off from the curb and headed down the road.
"Yeah she probably is. I hate that we haven't been able to see each other much since we have gotten back from Italy. I miss her." I admitted to all of them.
"Don't worry. I am sure she misses you as well." Said Leah. She gave me a small smile.
"How has she been holding up?" Asked Sam.
"Okay, I guess. She tries to hide it from me but I can tell that its eating away at her. Her parents say that they find her in the gym beating the hell out of the punching bag. They said it's mostly the nights that I don't stay over, which is about four nights a week. We get done late and I think she's asleep so I don't go over because I don't want to wake her. You know?" I sighed shaking my head.
"I can understand that but maybe you should send her a text next time you get done late. This way you can find out if she's up. As for being in the gym, that's probably Bella's way of coping with everything. She probably feels weak." Answered Ben. "I'm going through the same thing with Angela. The difference between the two is that Angela didn't get beat on as much as Bella did. Ang told me that Bella would provoke them every time they went after Angela. She said that Bella protected her the best she could."
"See. I just learned more from you just now then I have in the last two weeks from Bella. She won't share any of the details." I said.
"Don't stress to much Ed. Bella likes to keep everything bundled up inside of her. Occasionally she will let it burst out of her." Jacob told me while Jasper and Leah nodded their heads, clearly agreeing with him.
"I just hope that it doesn't destroy her once she let's it go." I mumbled mostly to myself but everyone heard me.
"Just make sure you are there if and when it does." Emmett said placing a hand on my shoulder and giving it a squeeze.
"Thanks everyone." I said nodding to them all.
We chatted on the way back to Charlie's place. Bella had text and said she would be at the shop helping Rosalie so once we had the truck unloaded and the boxes stored, I jumped on my bike and tore ass all the way to the shop in desperate need to see my Angel. I could never expressed how much I have actually missed her which is still a little weird to me because other than family, I have never missed someone. Hell, I've never loved someone as much as I love Bella. I needed her like I needed everything that kept me alive. Does that make sense? Hell yes it does make sense to me. Screw everyone else. I laughed to myself as I pulled into the driveway of the shop, followed by the guys and Leah. I saw Bella standing in the doorway to the office with her arms crossed over her chest. My god, was my woman beautiful. Jasper caught my attention while we were backing our bikes in.
"Damn dude. My sister is eyeing you up as if you were her last meal." Jasper laughed and I couldn't help it. I threw my head back and laughed my ass off because he was dead on.
Bella was licking her lips and then took off from the doorway, heading my way. I barely had time to catch her as she knocked into me and wrapping her arms around me tightly burying her face into my chest. I tried to be careful when I hugged her to me because I know she was still sore in some places. Luckily, her stitches were removed already but she still had some lingering bruises that were still painful. We changed our plans for the evening. Bella basically said I smelled bad and I laughed it off, but I am sure she is right. I mean, we did just have a gun fight so yeah. I left Bella with Jasper and Demetri and headed home to get ready.
I stood in front of my closet totally acting like a girl. I couldn't figure out what to wear. I gave up and called the one person who could solve this for me. Yup, you guessed it. "Alice. I need your help." I yelled into the hallway.
"You are lucky. I was just about to head over to Bella's to help her get ready." Alice said as she bounced into my room and went straight for my closet.
"What? How did you know we were going out?" I asked shocked and yet I knew I shouldn't be.
Alice tapped her head and said, "I just know things. Why do you always doubt me big brother?"
"No clue sis. I really should know by now." I said shrugging while watching Alice look through my shirts until she found the one she wanted. She worked her way over to my dresser to grab pants and she even picked out my shoes. "I love you. Did you know?"
"Of course you do." She laughed punching my arm. "Yes I know and I love you to. Now have fun tonight." Alice leaned up and kissed my cheek before leaving my room and closing the door behind her.
I laid my clothes out on my bed along with boxers and socks. The shower relaxed my muscles as my mind thought of Bella. She looked so hot in her low rider jeans and that fucking Metallica shirt. They were one of my favorite bands. Bella had the back of the shirt tied up so it hugged her perfectly. She even paired it with combat boots. Fuck me. Of course I got hard thinking about it, so of course, I took care of business while in the shower. We haven't been physical since before she was taken and I wasn't about to be a dickhead boyfriend and pressure her. No, I would wait until she was ready even if that means jerking off in the shower like I just did.
I dried off once i was out of the shower. I brushed my teeth and shaved before returning to my room. I threw on my boxers, socks, and black jeans. I grabbed a white wife beater from my dresser and slipped that on. Next came my black Nike sneakers followed by the black button down Alice chose. It had some weird grey tribal design on it. I rolled the sleeves up to my elbows. I changed my silver hooped earrings to a pair of black studs that looked like gauges. I put my watch back on and grabbed my wallet, phone, and keys, placing them in my pockets. I threw my cut on and was ready to hit the road. My gun was sitting in my saddle bag. I would get that later. I stored my jacket in the bag before hopping on my bike.
I rode the bike to Bella's house. I felt my lower area start to wake up just by looking at her standing by the front door. She is going to be the death of me tonight, I swear it. Her makeup was a little darker tonight and I found that I actually liked it, however, I would always love how she looks without makeup. Her hair was down and it looked like it had grown longer. It looked shinier than usual. I love the feel of her hair. It was always so soft. Her fucking pants made her legs look longer then they actually were and they ended with a pair of black ankle boots that made her look slightly taller than she actually was. She had a cute tank top on with a small jacket but what drew my attention to her the most besides her ass, was her stomach around her belly button. I could see that she had gained a little pouch. I am not sure if that is the word I am thinking of but her pants seemed to stretch out a little with it. I hadn't noticed it before but then again, we haven't spent to much time together. I would work late and I didn't want to disturb her sleep by coming in next thing I noticed was her boobs. They seems to be slightly bigger, not that I cared. I was both an ass and boob man. Of course Bella enjoyed that. I wondered if Bella realized that she flirted with me the whole way to my bike. It was so fucking cute.
I made sure that Bella brought her gun and knives with her which thankfully she did. She also complained about the outfit she wanted to wear, saying that the pants were to tight. That statement made me start to think hard. I decided that I would bring it up later. She said the pants she was wearing right now were also snug. Of course I told her that she looked amazing in them. I was rewarded with Bella's sweet giggle and a blush.
We had such a great time at The Living Coast Discovery Center despite us arguing about who was going to pay. I promised Bella that she could pay for dinner. Bella smiled so much and I thought my cheeks were going to be sore for days, with all the smiling and laughing I did with my baby. She laughed hysterically when an asshole shark decided he or she liked the water better on me. I was pissed at first but got over it quickly when I seen and heard her take on it. She had to bend over and hold onto the tank while laughing. I loved seeing her so careful. It looked perfect on her. The spiders and frogs were creepy looking fuckers and as long as they stayed right where they were, we'd be good.
We finally made it to the real reason that I brought us here. The Eagles. I have always loved eagles. Not only does the American Bald Eagle represent freedom, but they also represent courage, loyalty, and strength. All the things I associate with the club. Bella took pictures of me just standing there leaning on the fence looking at these beautiful birds. As a matter of fact, we took tons of photos today and I couldn't wait to see them.
Choosing where to go for dinner was a funny conversation. Who combines crab legs and chicken? My girl, that's who. That is how we came to be standing in front of the hostess podium with my arm wrapped around Bella's shoulders and hers around my waist. A lady with too much makeup and perfume on comes up to the podium with eyes only for me. This most likely will not end well.
"Hello handsome and welcome to Red Lobster. Two?" She asked purposely not looking at Bella.
"Does it look like there's two of us?" Bella snapped.
"Easy Love." I whispered in her ear.
"It was a stupid question Bellissimo. I mean, your arm is wrapping around me for crying out loud."
"I know Angel. I know." I said to Bella before turning to the hostess whom I caught looking me up and down while licking her lips. Can I say ew gross.
"Yes a table for two." I said already annoyed.
"Of course handsome. Follow me." The hostess replied while grabbing two menus and headed to where our table was located. She swung her hips at a dangerous level. Women are crazy. "Here you go. Let me know if there is anything else I can get for you." She said placing the menus down on the table with booth seats and started to walk away.
"Actually I would like a different table. That table right over there." I said pointing to a table in front of the window that housed two chairs. It was smaller than the table we had now but I wanted it to be a little more romantic.
The hostess looked shocked at first but then picked up our menus and took us over to the new table. She basically plopped the menus on the table and said our waiter would be with us soon.
"Whore." Bella said rather loudly when the hostess started to walk away. She looked back at Bella surprised at first. Once she composed herself she started to say something to Bella. "Don't bother defending yourself. You can clearly see that he is taken and that his girlfriend is with him and yet you still want to bat your caked on makeup eyes at him and swing your hips so feverishly that you almost knocked a few of the waiters and busboys over. You do know that they have places for you to act like that right? It's called strip clubs. Now go back to doing what you were doing seeing that you have more people waiting at the podium." Bella said as she started to pull her chair out.
I stopped her and pulled it out for her. I took her jacket from her after she took it off and I hung it on her chair then took my seat. I rubbed my hand down her arm to her hand which I held in mine and placed a kiss to it.
"Angel. Do you mind telling me what that was about? Hmm?" I asked giving her my crooked smile.
"Nothing." She replied. I just stared at her because I knew it was more than nothing. "What?" Bella asked after she looked up at me.
I leaned over and pecked her lips. "There's more to it then nothing baby." I whispered against her lips.
Bella sighed against my lips before she answered. "Cunt knew you were here with me. She could clearly see your arm around me but she still insisted to flirt with you. It just pissed me off to no end. I'm sorry. I am ruining dinner."
"Not at all baby. I love when your claws come out to play. You were staking claim to what is yours. I will never fault you for that." I smiled at her. My smile widen when her face lit up with her own smile and her eyes twinkled.
"Really?" She asked. I nodded. "I love you Bellissimo. Do you know that?" Bella asked me.
I smiled right back at her and said, "Of course I do Angel. Do you know that I love you?"
We were interrupted by our waiter before she had a chance to reply.
"Good evening. I am Joshua and I will be your server for this evening. Can I start you off with drinks and maybe an appetizer?" The waiter said.
"I would like ice tea with lemon please. Do you have chocolate milk?" Bella asked.
"Yes we do. Would you like that instead of the ice tea?" Joshua asked. I am happy to note that he kept his eyes on her face throughout their whole exchange.
"Yes I would like the chocolate milk along with the ice tea please but please don't forget the lemon."
"Sure thing ma'am. For you sir?" He asked looking to me.
"I will have a glass of water and a Coke, or Pepsi. Whichever you have." I answered. "Could we also get the appetizer combination platter?"
"Of course. Would you like two or three on that platter?" Joshua asked holding his pen to his notepad.
"Three please." Bella quickly said. I chuckled at her which caused her to blush. "Can we have the mozzarella cheese sticks, lobster-crab-and-seafood stuffed mushrooms, and clam strips please? Wait. Is that okay with you Bellissimo?" Bella asked looking over at me.
"Of course Angel. Sounds good." I said looking to our waiter and nodded at him.
"Sure thing. I will go put your order in and be right back with your drinks."
"Thank you." We said together and then started laughing. We chatted about what looked good and what we were thinking of getting. Either way, it was agreed that we would need two extra plates so we could share. See, this is the shit I loved the most. Being able to act like a regular couple without worries or fighting. Bella figured out what she wanted so now she was waiting on me.
Joshua brought our drinks and appetizer over and placed them on the table. That shit smelled so fucking good. It caused my mouth to water. Looking over at Bella, I thought she was going to jump on the table just to get to the food.
"Are you ready to order or do you need a few more minutes?" Joshua asked while looking between the two of us.
"No, we are good to order." I answered and looked over to Bella who was already helping herself to the appetizer. She froze mid reach when she realized we were looking at her. "You wanna order now Love?" I asked smirking at her.
Bella blushed and opened her menu to find what it is that she wanted. "Uh, I would like the wood-grilled-shrimp and sirloin."
"Good choice. How would you like the steak done?" Joshua asked.
"Uh. Well done and I mean like no blood at all. Oh and tell them no pink either please." Bella answered.
"Certainly. Would you like a garden salad, Caesar salad, or coleslaw with that?"
Bella thought about it for a second and said, "Garden please with either ranch or french dressing."
"Very good. Now it comes with mashed potatoes, but what other side would you like?"
"Asparagus." My girl answered without missing a beat.
"Very good and for you sir?"
"I would like the admiral's feast with a garden salad, with either french or ranch dressing. I would like broccoli as my second side please." I answered all in one breath.
"Very well sir. I will go place your order."
"Thank you." We both said again and of course laughed at each other.
"So Angel. Remember how I told you that I ordered you something for your birthday but it hadn't come in yet?" I asked Bella. She nodded her head. "Well it came in two days ago." I said reaching into my coat pocket and bringing out a white envelope. I handed it to her.
"What is it?" Bella asked staring at the envelope.
I chuckled at her. "Just open it baby. I promise it won't bite you." I winked at her which caused her to blush.
Bella slowly opened the envelope and held her breath as she slid the contents out and onto the table. Once everything was out, she picked up the two tickets and looked them over. She stared as if they were going to disappear. Bella kept looking between myself and the tickets.
"Is this what I think it is babe?" Bella asked me.
I decided to play with her a little bit. "What do you think they are honey?" I smiled. I had the pleasure of watching her suck in her breath and shake her head, clearing trying to clear it.
"Uh. Godsmack concert tickets is what they look like." Bella whispered just as our food came out. "Holy fuck. That shit smells so good."
I reached over and moved the papers out of the way. I didn't want them to get ruined by the food. I would wait to tell her the rest when she came up from the food. These platters were way bigger than I thought they were. I swear we are going to have leftovers, but my god. The food was deliciously fucking good. Bella moaned next to me which sounded so fucking sexy.
"You know I wanted crab legs and chicken but I am not going to fucking complain because this shrimp and steak is so fucking good. Oh my god." Bella moaned again when she took a bite of her steak. "Wanna try some?" She asked.
"Sure. You want to try some of this?" I asked. We took turns feeding each other. I know, that is totally a cheesy movie thing but she was just to damn cute when she wanted to hold the fork for me. Joshua came over a few times to check on us and get us refills. Once we started getting full, I turned to Bella to tell her about the rest of her present."So baby. There is another piece of information you need to know about the concert."
Bella looked at me and raised her eyebrow. "What would that be Bellissimo?"
"Here read this paper." I said handing the paper to her.
I watched as her face paled and her lips formed the o shape. "Are you fucking kidding me Bellissimo?" She yelled.
I chuckled at her. "No Angel. It's not a joke." I answered her placing a kiss to her hand.
"I get to meet Sully Erna? Are you shitting me baby? That is amazing. I can't believe it. Oh my god. What am I going to wear? I need to call Alice. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. I can't believe you did this. This must have cost you a fortune. How many tickets are there? Oh good there's two. You are going with me right? I mean you have to. You bought them." I cut Bella's rambling off by kissing her.
Pulling back from her I said. "Yes baby. You have backstage passes to meet not only Sully Ena, but the rest of the band as well, plus our seats are actually on the stage. We are on the left side of the stage so you will be able see everything they do. Maybe Sully will do that drum solo he does. I can't wait to hear "Crying like a bitch." I love that fucking song."
Bella went to respond when she was cut off by a weird noise in her stomach. She cupped her hand over her mouth and ran toward the bathrooms. I followed behind her only to be stopped at the bathroom door. Well fuck them. My girl needs me. I walked right in there looking for Bella. I cupped my eyes so I wouldn't see anything that I shouldn't. There was my girl in the handicap stall getting sick. I lean forward and held her hair. I scared her by doing so. She calmed down more and more as I sat beside her, holding her hair and rubbing her back. A random lady knocked on the stall door and handed me some paper towels. Some were wet and others weren't.
"It's not my business but I am actually quite surprised that she would brave coming into a seafood place. I couldn't stand the smell of any type of seafood when I was pregnant. I hope she feels better." The lady left after patting my arm.
"I'm not fucking pregnant anymore." Bella growled and I felt my heart fall. "You don't have to sit with me baby. I just need to rinse my mouth and I'll be back out."
"Are you sure Angel?" I asked.
"Yeah. Go ahead and get everything to take home. No reason to throw it all out. Yeah? I'll be right out. I promise." Bella said while hugging me.
I kissed the top of her head. "Okay Angel. I'll meet you out there." I kissed her forehead and headed back to my table, getting weird looks the whole way. I got the check from our waiter and he gave me a to go cup with ginger ale. He said it was on the house and that he hoped she felt better. I thanked him, grabbed our stuff, and paid the check giving our waiter a huge tip. I was sitting on bench by the door and started thinking. Is Bella still pregnant? No, the doctor said she wasn't but she's showing so many signs. Should I have her take the test anyway? Would it hurt her more if I were to ask? How would she react if it came back negative? All those questions would have to be put on hold as I heard someone yell to call 911. I turned to see the manager trying to wake Bella up. What the fuck?
"Fuck Bella." I yelled as I ran over to her. It looks like she was walking to me from the bathroom but didn't make it very far. "Bella, Angel. Wake up for me. What happened?" I yelled to the closest person.
"I'm not really sure. She was walking through the hallway and she leaned on the door frame. Next thing I knew, she fainted and fell to the floor. I tried to catch her but I didn't make it in time." Joshua, our waiter said.
"Shit." I said and pulled out my phone while waiting for the paramedics to get here. "Charlie. Yeah. No. Listen. I need you and Renee to get to the hospital. No, no. Listen." He kept talking and I was starting to lose my patience. "No Charlie. Shut up and fucking listen okay? We are at Red Lobster. She passed the fuck out and we are waiting for the paramedics to get here." I listened to him some more. "No I can't drive her. I have the bike. Hey they got here. I'll call you from the hospital if you aren't there when we get there. Yeah bye." I shut my phone as they brought in the stretcher. Questions were being shot at me by everyone.
"Just stop asking fucking questions. Get her on the stretcher and get her to the fucking hospital already. Come on. Move it." I yelled. I rode in the back with Bella, holding her hand. This can not be fucking happening. They said something about her blood pressure being high.
Everyone was fucking at the hospital when we arrived. They must have sped to get there before us. I was happy and upset all at the same time. I was told to sit in the waiting room while they checked over Bella. It was a long wait but at least we had Leo for entertainment. He was currently learning to walk. Of course, Emmett is a big kid at heart so he kept Leo entertained the most by playing with him on the floor. My mom brought me out of my head by grabbing my hand and walking away from everyone else.
"Edward. Cad a tharla?" (Edward. What happened?)
I shook my head and looked down at my feet. "Níl a fhios agam. Bhí lá maith againn. Bhíomar ag ithe agus thug mé na ticéid do Bella agus d'éirigh linn pas a fháil sa cheolchoirm. Bhí sí chomh tógtha sin ach an chéad rud eile a bhí ar eolas agam, bhí sí ag rith don seomra folctha lena lámh thar a béal." (I don't know ma. We were having a good day. We were eating and I gave Bella the tickets and backstage passes to the concert. She was so excited but the next thing I knew, she was running for the bathroom with her hand over her mouth.)
My mother studied me before she asked her next question which actually shocked me. "An bhfuil sí torrach?" (Is she pregnant?)
"Cad é? Níl. Níl a fhios agam. Ba é an toradh a bhí ar na hassholes máthairchuardaithe seo san Iodáil go raibh breith anabaí aici. Ní raibh a fhios againn go raibh sí ag iompar clainne. Sin an fáth nach bhfuil sí cosúil le Bella le déanaí. Bhí sí ag blaming féin." I shrugged my shoulders as my mom wrapped her arms around me. (What? No. I don't know. Those motherfucking assholes in Italy caused her to have a miscarriage. We didn't know she was pregnant ma. That's why Bella doesn't seem like herself lately. She was blaming herself.)
My mom sighed and asked, "Cad eile sí ag déanamh go bhfuil difriúil?" (What else is she doing that's different?)
I walked out of my moms arms and went over to the closest window and thought about her question while staring out of the window. "Sí, uh, tá níos mhothúchánach déanaí ach dúirt sí dochtúir fhéadfadh sé a bheith ar a éagothroime hormone mar gheall ar an breith anabaí. Bhí sí ag gearán níos luaithe go raibh a cuid pants ró-daingean ach sin faoi." (She, uh, has been more emotional lately but her doctor said it could be her hormone imbalance due to the miscarriage. She was complaining earlier that her pants were too tight but that's about it.)
"Cad a tharlaíonn má nach raibh sí chailleann an leanbh?" I spun around to face my mom as the question left her mouth. Could it be possible? (What if she didn't lose the baby?)
"Fan, cad é?" I asked while standing there staring at my mother like she grew a second head. (Wait, what?) My mom didn't have a chance to answer me because we heard Bella's name being called.
"Isabella Swan's family?" I heard called from behind me. My mom and I gathered with everyone else while the doctor talked to Charlie and Renee.
"Is our daughter okay? Can we see her?" Rushed Renee.
"What happened to her?" Yelled Rosalie. Emmett put his hand on her shoulder and reminded her that she needs to remain calm for the baby.
"Would you like to talk privately?" Asked the doctor as he looked around at us all. We had a crowd of eleven people in the ER waiting room. All but five were wearing their cuts. I had taken mine off at the restaurant and didn't put it on when we left for the hospital. I'm sure the doctor was worried about who was family and who wasn't.
"We can talk over here." Charlie said leading to the waiting area of chairs that we took residence in. "You can say whatever you need to in front of everyone. We are all family." He said as he waved his hand around to all of us.
"Please tell me she will be alright?" I begged the doctor. I didn't even give a fuck that I begged in front of everyone nor did I care that I was crying.
"Ms. Swan will be okay as long as she can stay on a healthy diet and limit unnecessary stress." The doctor started saying but was cut off again by Renee.
"Why did she vomit and pass out?" Renee asked.
"Well, the vomiting may continue unfortunately but that is due to her condition. The passing out is due to her blood pressure spiking and she has a case of anemia. Both of which can be maintained with the right amount of vitamins and exercise." The doctor said smiling.
I was confused. "What do you mean due to her condition?" I asked.
"She's pregnant." The doctor said. Well fuck, my mom was right. I looked to my mom and saw a knowing smirk.
"What do you mean she's pregnant? We were told that she had a miscarriage." Charlie said looking confused.
The doctor looked around at all of us, taking in our confused looks. He looked down at Bella's chart that was in his hands. He stood there for about a minute reading. He looked up to answer Charlie's question. "It seems that Ms. Swan did indeed have a miscarriage when she was in Italy, but she wasn't carrying just one baby. She was carrying three."
"What the fuck?" Everyone yelled. I looked at the faces of everyone of my family, and they were just as confused as I was. Everything that I told my mom about the changes in Bella now made sense.
"Is she okay though? Why did she faint?" I whispered not realizing that the doctor heard me.
"She will be as long as she follows a everything her doctor tells her. Ms. Swan will need to see her doctor every two weeks since she is now considered high risk. She needs to take prenatal vitamins along with maintaining her diet. She also has to keep her blood pressure under control. Her blood pressure reached a level that is not only not healthy for her but dangerous for the babies. Who would like to go in and see her right now?" The doctor finished.
It was decided that Charlie, Renee, Jasper, and Rosalie would go in first. The doctor was waiting for her blood pressure to go down before releasing her. If it didn't go down then he would admit her to the hospital. I can only imagine her reaction to being admitted.
I can't believe I was going to be a dad. I mean, I already knew I was a dad when we were in Italy but I have had time to grieve the loss of that baby. Now came time for me to realize that I am actually going to be a father to not just one but two babies and my beautiful Bella is their mother. What the hell are we going to do now? How the fuck is Bella going to handle that news?
Rosalie and Jasper came out to the waiting room. Rosalie looked like she was crying. She went right to Emmett who wrapped his arms around her. Jasper went over and picked Leo up from where he was playing on the floor. Alice went over and quietly talked to him.
"Edward sweetie. You can go back now. Bella's asking for you." Rosalie said sending me a smile.
"Thanks." I said as I made my way to the security desk so they could let me in the back. I asked a nurse what room she was in. The nurse led me to her door. I thanked her and was about to knock when I heard Bella's voice loud and clear.
"Dad, you can't know that. What if he doesn't want to be a father now? What if he feels like I trapped him? I don't want him to think that I trapped him." Bella sobbed.
I heard someone sigh and then Renee spoke. "Tesoro, Edward will not think that. You clearly don't know him that well if you think he wouldn't want to be there for you and these babies. He was just as devastated as you were back in Italy. Remember I am the one who gave him the news and he broke down in my arms. You need to give him more credit kid."
I had more respect for Renee after hearing her speak on my behalf. How can Bella think that I wouldn't want the babies? I guess it's really my fault for not talking to her after finding out about the one we lost. I mean, it's not like I didn't try to talk to her about it because I did. She would shut down on me or change the subject. I should have pushed harder, gotten her to talk about it. We both lost a child. A child who never got the chance to take a breath. It wasn't her fault and it wasn't my fault, but it did in fact happen. However, we got lucky that the other two babies she is carrying survived the bullshit those assholes put her through. I do believe it was time for us to talk about this.
I knocked on her door and walked in. "Bella. I think it's time we talked Angel."
Well, there you have it folks. Some of y'all were spot on in your theory. Edward's outfit will be posted after I upload this. I hope y'all enjoy it. Until next time. :-)
