p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Edward wound his fingers through Kamber's, finding her fingers vastly intriguing as the two lay in bed. Edward looked over at Kamber who looked on the verge of falling back asleep, her blue eyes half lidded and her red hair billowing around her on the pillow. The sheets just covered her stark-naked body and her face was still flushed from what they had done that night./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""You're beautiful," he whispered, bringing her hand to his mouth and kissing each of her fingers and then her palm./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Kamber smiled at him and waited till he kissed her palm before she touched his cheek with her fingers. His face was smooth and soft to the touch, but she could still feel the muscle when he smiled or clenched his jaw./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Do you ever worry?" Edward asked, giving her a quizzical look. "Ever worry that you'll lose someone."br /"Always," Kamber replied. "Because I know death is inevitable whether it is tomorrow or next year or another fifty years, we will all die eventually, and it does worry me sometimes, but I have grown to accept it."br /"Why?" Edward asked, propping himself on his elbow./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"The girl smiled and ran her fingers up and down his bare chest, "Because even if I do lose people physically, they will still be with me in my heart."br /Edward's blue eyes flickered with pure adoration and love for the woman beside him. How had he gotten so lucky to have Kamber as his wife?/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Edward wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her over till she was laying on top of him, "There is one thing you do not have to worry about ever."br /"And what is that?" Kamber asked, pushing her hair out of her face./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Edward smiled and reaching up, helped her remove the long black tresses from her hair before stroking her cheeks, "You'll never lose me. Ever."br /A huge smile appeared on the girl's face and Edward found himself grinning back before lifting his head to plant a strong kiss on her lips./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""I love you Edward," Kamber whispered. "I always will…."/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"She was just about to continue when the look on her face changed from peaceful and happy to suddenly disturbed and somewhat sick. /p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Kamber?" Edward asked./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Kamber held up a finger to tell him to wait a minute while she jumped from the bed and rounding it, ran to the bathroom. Edward was up in an instant and found the girl bending over the sink, emptying her stomach./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Ugh," the girl groaned into the sink, running the water to rinse out the smell./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""You okay?" Edward asked, wrapping his hand around her waist from behind. "I was too rough the other night wasn't I?"/p

p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"br /Edward frowned. It had been almost a week since they had arrived on the island and since Edward got over his beast state. Since then the love that the two shared at night was gentle and never too much for Kamber to handle. Edward felt that something was off./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"The girl sighed before filling her mouth with water from the sink and rinsing her mouth out. She stood up before turning to face Edward. She froze when she saw that his face had changed to one of deep thought and sudden realization./p

p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Edward? What's wrong?" she asked, coming to take his hand./p

p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Kamber," Edward breathed, his voice coming out hoarse. "Your parents were able to have you and your siblings because your mother was a werewolf, right?"/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" /p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Kamber nodded, not sure where this was going./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""So…." Edward whispered hoarsely, "Does that mean you could get pregnant too?"br /Kamber snapped back, not expecting that at all but realizing that it could be possible. Her hands shot down to her stomach and felt it gently. It truly felt different… like she had added a little weight. Looking back at Edward, Kamber raced past him into the bedroom and grabbed up her phone. She was just about to dial when it began to ring./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Hello?" she asked, answering it./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Kamber," a familiar voice whispered. /p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Vanessa?" Kamber asked into the phone, "What's wrong?"/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""I just saw you in a dream," the little girl replied. "You and Edward seemed really shocked. Is everything okay?"br /Kamber looked over at where Edward was staring at her, mouth still slightly agape and eyes slightly wide. "Yeah everything's okay Vanessa…."br /"Oh, here's Alice," Vanessa interrupted. "She wants to talk to you."/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Almost immediately Alice came onto the phone and almost screamed Kamber's ear off. "KAMBER! What is going on!? When Vanessa told us what she saw, I checked your future…. Kamber…. There were children…."br /Kamber lifted her eyes and looked back at Edward, "Was I there too?" /p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Yeah!" Alice cried, her voice showing volumes of excitement, "it was amazing! It was you and Edward…. And you had multiple kids!"br /A huge smile spread across Kamber's face before she returned to the phone, "Alice, can you put Carlisle on real quick?"/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"There was a pause before Carlisle's voice came on, "Hello Kamber. Is what Alice said true? You're pregnant?"br /"I believe so," Kamber breathed. "I'm showing the symptoms and since my mother was fertile… I might be. I have a question though…."br /"What is it?"/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Since I am part vampire, wouldn't that mean that I would be able to withstand the birth of a part vampire child?"/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Carlisle chuckled into the phone, "Considering the fact that you are part vampire does mean that you are more resilient to pain and stress and strain than a human would be. Also, since your child would only be part Vampire, then it would mean the child would not be as strong as a pure blood vampire… so yes. Just as your mother was able to bear half vampire children, you will be able to bear children who are ¾ vampire. You have vampire in your blood unlike your mother. Everything will be fine Kamber."br /The girl let out a contented sigh before thanking Carlisle and turning the phone off. Turning around, she saw that Edward's expression hadn't changed once. The girl crossed the room before taking his hands into hers and holding them beneath her chin before looking up at him./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Hey Edward? How do you feel about being a father?"/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Edward's eyes widened even more than they were, and his mouth flopped open all the way, "But you could die…."br /Kamber shook her head, "I'm part vampire remember? If my mom who wasn't vampire was able to bear half vampires, I can bear your child."/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""But….do you think it's possible… that you're…." Edward whispered./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"The girl smiled before kissing his knuckles gently, "Alice just said she saw my future… we will have lots of kids Edward."br /The girl was barely able to get the words out before she was brought into a smothering hug where Edward clutched her face to his chest, peppering her head and cheeks with kisses./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Gosh darn it I love you so much," he whispered against her forehead before crashing his lips onto hers./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Kamber smiled into the kiss before slipping her arms around his back. Edward released her suddenly, his eyes widening before he got down on his knees. He laid a hand on her stomach before looking up at her./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""I can hear something…. not voices just yet…. But whispers…. They're too quiet to hear but I can hear them."br /Kamber smiled down at him with pure love and adoration, running her fingers through his hair, "They want to meet their father."br /Edward let out a choked cry before burying his face against her waist, holding her close. He shed tears that trickled down onto the floor and Kamber loved him for it./p

He was pacing back and forth as he watched Carlisle give Kamber her daily checkup. Her pregnancy had been 'short' to say the least. She had only been pregnant four weeks and already she looked ready to burst any minute. Carlisle checked the girl's temperature before nodding and patting the girl's hand./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Alice and Rosalie had been shadowing Kamber like hawks since she and Edward had returned two weeks ago…. Of course, they couldn't follow her to bed since that was Edward's only time, he could have with her without the two-breaking in. Though, Edward had a sneaking suspicion that the two girls had Emmett and Jasper remain guard outside the door all night long. /p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""You're good," Carlisle replied. "The little one is growing quite nicely."br /The man stood up and walking away from the girl, approached his son. "What is troubling you?"br /"The growth," Edward whispered. "The baby is growing so fast…how is it not affecting Kamber?"br /"Because she is strong Edward," Carlisle replied. "In having werewolf in her blood, she was designed to be able to carry a child and with the vampire blood, she has the resilience to carry a child whose father is a vampire."br /Edward ran his fingers through his hair but stopped mid stroke when he felt a pair of eyes on him. Looking up, he saw Kamber watching him quizzically with her big blue eyes and a smile on her face. Edward was across the room and sitting beside her in an instant. The Cullens and Vicasi's took the message and scuttered out of the room to give the two a moment./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""What's troubling you?" Edward asked, placing his arm around her shoulders./p

p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"When the room suddenly quieted down and Kamber's screams faded, the five boys froze and waited with bated breath as they stared at the door.

p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Pushing past the other four guys, he slammed his foot into the door, and it flew open on the hinges.

p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Twin boys," Carlisle said, clapping his son on the shoulder. "Congratulations."br /Edwards slowly sank to his knees next to the bed, glad that it was low, so he was able to rest his arms and the baby on the edge of the bed. He was afraid he was going to drop the child. Kamber reached over and kissed Edward on the forehead before kissing the forehead of the baby he held./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""This is Hunter," She said, nodding toward the baby Edward held.

p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"His fingers froze on the keys when he heard the sound of a cry.

p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Oh, Hunter was just upset because he couldn't reach Viggo," Kamber replied, smiling at her husband./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Easy there Ed," Emmett remarked from where he sat in the rocking chair. "You're acting like a werewolf who imprinted!"br /Edward glared at him, but Emmett just smirked./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""I'm going to go out for a bit," Edward said, coming over to crouch beside Kamber./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Okay," the girl said, kissing his cheek. "Be safe."br /Edward nodded before reaching over and kissing Hunter and Viggo on the head before running out of the room. Alice frowned at her brother's wake while Rosalie looked at Kamber./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Is it just me or has Edward been acting weird the past two weeks?" she asked./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""It's not just you," Jasper replied, finally returning from under the bed where Viggo had lost a ball. "He has been weird. He keeps 'going out' for hours and doesn't come back till late and the twins are already in bed by then. He isn't as cheerful as he used to be."br /Kamber nodded, "Usually he would lay with me and the twins when we were sleeping but now, he just sits in the corner and when I wake up, he's long gone."/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"The girl was silent a moment before picking up Hunter who had started to whine for, he was hungry, "it's probably nothing."br /The four Cullens watched the girl as she began to feed the baby before exchanging looks. Kamber may be married to Edward but that only made her want to trust Edward unconditionally. However, his siblings could tell that he was keeping something from all of them and worst of all, from Kamber./p

You didn't tell me if it was my resume, my reliability or that you had no need of help and from the looks of things, you need help."br /The mechanic looked around the shop and sure enough, his two employees were in need of help./p

"It was the easiest way to get your attention."br /"Well you got it," Edward snapped.

With my dad being the chief and all…."br /Edward grabbed the girl by the shoulders. "I asked you why not how."br /Bella flashed him a flirty smile before grabbing his hand and pulling him out of the shop.

p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Bella chuckled. "But then you would be on the run. Your names, faces and identities would be known to the world and you wouldn't be safe anywhere."br /She reached up on tippy toes and planted a kiss on his neck but Edward glared. "What do you want?"br /"You," Bella whispered. "Be mine for a month and I won't tell a soul and I will leave your life after that."br /Edward groaned, "One month and you cannot tell Kamber about this."br /Bella nodded, "Agreed."br /She wrapped her arms around his neck and crashed her lips to his. Edward sighed. If this was what it took to live a happy normal life with the twins and Kamber, he would do it. He pushed off from the wall and pressed Bella's back to the wall, kissing her back./p

The sheets just covered her stark-naked body and her face was still flushed from what they had done that night./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""You're beautiful," he whispered, bringing her hand to his mouth and kissing each of her fingers and then her palm./p

"Ever worry that you'll lose someone."br /"Always," Kamber replied. "Because I know death is inevitable whether it is tomorrow or next year or another fifty years, we will all die eventually, and it does worry me sometimes, but I have grown to accept it."br /"Why?"

p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"The girl smiled and ran her fingers up and down his bare chest, "Because even if I do lose people physically, they will still be with me in my heart."br /Edward's blue eyes flickered with pure adoration and love for the woman beside him.

Edward whispered hoarsely, "Does that mean you could get pregnant too?"br /Kamber snapped back, not expecting that at all but realizing that it could be possible. Her hands shot down to her stomach and felt it gently. It truly felt different… like she had added a little weight. Looking back at Edward, Kamber raced past him into the bedroom and grabbed up her phone. She was just about to dial when it began to ring./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Hello?" she asked, answering it./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Kamber," a familiar voice whispered. /p

p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""I just saw you in a dream," the little girl replied. "You and Edward seemed really shocked.

p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Almost immediately Alice came onto the phone and almost screamed Kamber's ear off. "KAMBER!

p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Yeah!" Alice cried, her voice showing volumes of excitement, "it was amazing! It was you and Edward…. And you had multiple kids!"br /A huge smile spread across Kamber's face before she returned to the phone, "Alice, can you put Carlisle on real quick?"/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"There was a pause before Carlisle's voice came on, "Hello Kamber. Is what Alice said true?

p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Since I am part vampire, wouldn't that mean that I would be able to withstand the birth of a part vampire child?"/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Carlisle chuckled into the phone, "Considering the fact that you are part vampire does mean that you are more resilient to pain and stress and strain than a human would be. Also, since your child would only be part Vampire, then it would mean the child would not be as strong as a pure blood vampire… so yes. Just as your mother was able to bear half vampire children, you will be able to bear children who are ¾ vampire. You have vampire in your blood unlike your mother. Everything will be fine Kamber."br /The girl let out a contented sigh before thanking Carlisle and turning the phone off. Turning around, she saw that Edward's expression hadn't changed once. The girl crossed the room before taking his hands into hers and holding them beneath her chin before looking up at him./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Hey Edward? How do you feel about being a father?"/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Edward's eyes widened even more than they were, and his mouth flopped open all the way, "But you could die…."br /Kamber shook her head, "I'm part vampire remember?

p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Gosh darn it I love you so much," he whispered against her forehead before crashing his lips onto hers./p

p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""I can hear something…. not voices just yet…. But whispers…. They're too quiet to hear but I can hear them."br /Kamber smiled down at him with pure love and adoration, running her fingers through his hair, "They want to meet their father."br /Edward let out a choked cry before burying his face against her waist, holding her close.

p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Kamber reached up and tapped the space between Edward's eyebrows, "That crease on your forehead is troubling me. What's wrong?"br /Edward sighed and leant back against the couch, letting his head flop back, "I feel like I should be happy about our having a child, but I cannot seem to relax when you're getting bigger by the day…. And you're due to go into labor any day now."br /He felt Kamber move and when he tilted his head to look at her, he saw that she had laid back against him and had closed her eyes, nuzzling her face into his arm./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; margin-bottom: 12pt;""Everything is going to be okay Edward. I promise."/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; margin-bottom: 12pt;"*********/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Man, you won't do Kamber or the baby any good if you break down the house on top of them!" Jasper reasoned./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Edward glared at his brother, his fist still in the dent that he had made in the wall. Esme and Mrs. Vicasi had thrown all the boys outside while sending Imogen and Antigone to take the little kids to visit the Blacks./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"The screams of Kamber coming from Carlisle's medical room could be heard throughout the whole house. The moment her first scream had reached Edward's ears; it had been too late for Emmett and Jasper to take him out for a hunt./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""I'm not doing them any good staying out here doing nothing either!" Edward snapped at his brother./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Jasper and Emmett looked over at Vince and Glynn for help but the two were just as bad as Edward. They were pacing back and forth at the same time but going opposite directions so every few minutes they would almost collide before going right back to pacing./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"When the room suddenly quieted down and Kamber's screams faded, the five boys froze and waited with bated breath as they stared at the door. However, the silence was short lived when Kamber's screams returned and that seemed to snap Edward's last ounce of patience./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Pushing past the other four guys, he slammed his foot into the door, and it flew open on the hinges. Carlisle, Esme, Mrs. Vicasi and Mr. Vicasi all looked up from where they had been surrounding Kamber on the bed. Smiles all appeared on their faces and they turned to face the flustered and infuriated vampire./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Alice and Rosalie appeared from where they had been standing off to the side and Edward stared in shock when he saw a small child in Rosalie's arms./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Say hello to your son Edward," Rosalie said, approaching her brother./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Edward slowly took a step toward her before Rosalie handed him the baby. The boy was so small that he was small enough to fit in both of Edward's hands. /p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""So, you were the one who made all this fuss huh?" he asked, cradling his son to his chest before planting a soft kiss on his forehead./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Edward," Carlisle spoke up./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Edward lifted his head to see his father step to the side to reveal Kamber sitting up on the bed, leaning against the pillows…. And another baby in her arms!br /Edward slowly walked across the room, his son still in his arms. He looked down at his wife to see her smiling up at him with bright blue eyes that were hazed over from exhaustion, a small baby resting against her chest./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Twin boys," Carlisle said, clapping his son on the shoulder. "Congratulations."br /Edwards slowly sank to his knees next to the bed, glad that it was low, so he was able to rest his arms and the baby on the edge of the bed. He was afraid he was going to drop the child. Kamber reached over and kissed Edward on the forehead before kissing the forehead of the baby he held./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""This is Hunter," She said, nodding toward the baby Edward held. "And this is Viggo."br /Edward slowly lifted his head from where he had been looking down at Hunter to reveal that tears were streaming down his face. /p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""I love you so much Kamber," he whispered, leaning up to kiss her firmly on the mouth. "So much."/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Kamber smiled down at him before kissing him softly on the lips before resting her head against his shoulder, "I love you too."/p

p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Edward looked up from his computer where he was job hunting. He was hoping to actually find a career like Carlisle had but, in the meantime, he wanted to find a job he could do while he attended college. He was seriously considering medicine since it was easy to move around when people got suspicious about his aging./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"He frowned in frustration when he got another email from an employer, he had contacted who refused to give him work. He had asked at least twenty people and they all said no. Some of them were car dealers, agencies in need of a typist and even a lifeguard since he had his certificate. All direct no's with no explanation./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"His fingers froze on the keys when he heard the sound of a cry. Jumping up and racing upstairs to the nursery, he burst through the door. Alice, Rosalie and Kamber were all sitting on the floor together watching the twins try to sit up on their own./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"The twins were growing so fast but Alice had contacted an old friend of theirs who wasn't pure vampire and he had told them that he stopped growing at the age of 18 so there was no worry about the twins' growth./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""What happened?" Edward asked./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Oh, Hunter was just upset because he couldn't reach Viggo," Kamber replied, smiling at her husband./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Easy there Ed," Emmett remarked from where he sat in the rocking chair. "You're acting like a werewolf who imprinted!"br /Edward glared at him, but Emmett just smirked./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""I'm going to go out for a bit," Edward said, coming over to crouch beside Kamber./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Okay," the girl said, kissing his cheek. "Be safe."br /Edward nodded before reaching over and kissing Hunter and Viggo on the head before running out of the room. Alice frowned at her brother's wake while Rosalie looked at Kamber./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Is it just me or has Edward been acting weird the past two weeks?" she asked./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""It's not just you," Jasper replied, finally returning from under the bed where Viggo had lost a ball. "He has been weird. He keeps 'going out' for hours and doesn't come back till late and the twins are already in bed by then. He isn't as cheerful as he used to be."br /Kamber nodded, "Usually he would lay with me and the twins when we were sleeping but now, he just sits in the corner and when I wake up, he's long gone."/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"The girl was silent a moment before picking up Hunter who had started to whine for, he was hungry, "it's probably nothing."br /The four Cullens watched the girl as she began to feed the baby before exchanging looks. Kamber may be married to Edward but that only made her want to trust Edward unconditionally. However, his siblings could tell that he was keeping something from all of them and worst of all, from Kamber./p

p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""I know," Edward replied. "But that is all the email said. You didn't tell me if it was my resume, my reliability or that you had no need of help and from the looks of things, you need help."br /The mechanic looked around the shop and sure enough, his two employees were in need of help./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"The man was about to speak when something caught his eye behind Edward before he shook his head, "I'm sorry but we cannot take you."br /He turned away, but Edward had noticed the man's change in behavior. He quickly looked over his shoulder only to see a person standing at the door wearing a black shirt, black pants and a baseball cap over her face./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Edward strode after the person who didn't back down and when Edward reached him, he realized who it was./p

p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Bella smirked at him. "It was the easiest way to get your attention."br /"Well you got it," Edward snapped. "Why are you doing this?"br /"I told my dad to set up a rumor with all employees that no one was allowed to hire you. With my dad being the chief and all…."br /Edward grabbed the girl by the shoulders. "I asked you why not how."br /Bella flashed him a flirty smile before grabbing his hand and pulling him out of the shop. Edward followed begrudgedly until the girl pushed him into a nearby alley and placed herself flush against him, his back to the wall. /p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Bella what are you doing?" He asked angrily./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"The girl ignored him and pressed her leg between his thighs before standing on tiptoe and planting a wet kiss on his lips. Edward grabbed her shoulders and pushed her off him./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""I am married, we are no longer together, and I don't even have feelings for you so back off."br /"And what if I threaten to make sure that you never find a job?" Bella asked, smirking as she took her cap off and threw it to the side./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""I'll learn medicine from Carlisle. I don't have to work until after college," Edward replied /Bella nodded, "and what about the secret I know about you?"/p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;""Even if you told everyone we could just move," Edward replied./p
p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"Bella chuckled. "But then you would be on the run. Your names, faces and identities would be known to the world and you wouldn't be safe anywhere."br /She reached up on tippy toes and planted a kiss on his neck but Edward glared. "What do you want?"br /"You," Bella whispered. "Be mine for a month and I won't tell a soul and I will leave your life after that."br /Edward groaned, "One month and you cannot tell Kamber about this."br /Bella nodded, "Agreed."br /She wrapped her arms around his neck and crashed her lips to his. Edward sighed. If this was what it took to live a happy normal life with the twins and Kamber, he would do it. He pushed off from the wall and pressed Bella's back to the wall, kissing her back./p
