Hey guys, welcome back! I really liked the dynamic in this story, and I wanted to see where it took us – especially given the warm response on the first instalment of this series. I know there has been some time since I have updated this story, but I have had a lot of things going on in life. I do want to advise you something, after evaluating everything on my fanfiction page I think the plan that I initially had in place wasn't working – of working on other stories in between my main series. I feel if anything this has put on a block on me rather than helping me complete stories. So, at the moment I am just going to post whenever and whatever I like and in no particular order (as I had planned the order of what stories that I am going to work on). So, with this in being said I have decided to post chapters that I already have ready and in the case of this story is just the next chapter. I also know you may not read this, but as you know by now, I always want to explain what I am doing. I just felt like I was being held hostage by time and struggling to find the time to finish it, I hope you understand. Much love, RSD xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo.
*The next day*
When I woke up the next morning a smile instantly spread across my face, today was the day where me and Ben were going to see Doctor Cameron and confirm my pregnancy. I still couldn't believe that I was pregnant again, yes, I know that I had just given birth to the twins, but I didn't really count that. That was something that me and Ben wanted to do for both Evie and Doug, the child I was currently carrying was mine and Ben's baby, the next piece of our family puzzle and I already couldn't wait to meet them.
I moved my head up and readjusted my head on the pillow and looked up at my beautiful husband sleeping next to me. His dark brown chocolate hair was stuck up in different directions due to me running my fingers through it before we went to sleep, and his mouth was slightly open. After watching him for a few minutes before he snuggled his head into the pillow a couple I then watched as a smile spread across his face, which made me sigh lovingly. It was moments like this that made feel so in awe of him, he was such a perfect husband and father I couldn't have asked for a better man to be married and have children with.
I then started to think about how our new little one was going to fit into our lives, and then my mind started to wonder whether I wanted to have any more children. And if I was honest, I wasn't completely against the idea, me and Ben were amazing parents to Edward and Isabelle. I knew that we would be the same to our new little one, and any other children that me and Ben were lucky to have. As I started to feel my eyes roll back into sleep once more, I let an excited smile spread across my face, I really couldn't wait to meet our new baby – I just hoped time was going to be on our side, and before we knew it, they would be here. Fingers crossed!
"Mammy" I heard a little voice squeak as I felt movement up our bed as my eyes rolled fully out of sleep.
"Edward?" I muttered as I felt the covers get pulled back and my tired eyes landed on him. I went to smile at him but quickly stopped when I saw that he looked worried, I then quickly dismissed this thought as him having another bad dream, so I went to pull him into bed as my eyes started to roll once more. Thankfully me and Ben had gotten into a pattern of putting our clothes on after making love, as there had been times in which Edward and/or Isabelle had climbed into our bed when we were asleep, and we were still naked. And to be honest with you even though they didn't think anything of it, it was still a very cringy and embarrassing moment for the pair of us.
"No Mammy please wake up!" Edward said sternly which made my eyes snap open. There was something in the tone of his voice which told me that something was wrong, which set the hair on the back of my neck on edge. "Daddy wake up!" he snapped, and Ben started to stir.
"Edward what is wrong?" I asked. "Did you have a bad dream?" I added as I watched his concerned and scared little face.
"No" he said as he shook his head quickly. "I was awoken up to a noise, I went to go back to sleep, but I heard it again-"he continued to explain. "I went to see what it was, and it was Isabelle" he advised.
"What was Isabelle doing?" I asked slowly as I started to hear Isabelle whimper in the distance which plunged me into panic and despair.
"Rolling around in pain, she felt quite hot" he answered. "She still does" he clarified.
"Oh Lucifer!" I exclaimed as I threw the covers back and quickly jumped out of bed.
"What is happening?" I heard a tired Ben say, normally I would look back at him, but I was just currently driven to get to my little Princess. My quick footsteps echoed down the corridor as I took the few short steps into her room, and when I flew into her room I gasped at the sight before me.
I could hear her rapid breathing and groaning, and as I continued to walk towards her, I could see that her little body was drenched in sweat. She was lying in the fetal position rocking slightly as both of her arms were wrapped around her stomach. In between her panting she was moaning and groaning in pain and her head kept being thrown back before she threw her head forward every few seconds.
"Oh baby" I said as I jumped onto her bed and pulled the covers back and when my hands toucher her skin my hands, I flinched at the heat that was radiating from her.
"Mammy!" she cried out as she grimaced.
"I'm here baby" I advised as I quickly picked her up and slide her into my lap. She snuggled her face into my chest, and she started to shiver in my arms which made me purse my lips together.
"What's happening?" I heard Ben say and when I looked up from Isabelle, I noticed that Ben and Edward were both stood at the foot of Isabelle's bed.
"She's unwell" I explained. "But this doesn't just seem like a stomach bug" I added sadly as I started to run my fingers through her sweat drenched hair. "I think we need to go to the hospital" I stated, and I watched as Ben's eyes widened at this.
"Ok" he nodded as he threw a concerned look at Isabelle in my arms. "I'm just going to ring my parents so that can watch Eddie" he explained.
"Ok" I nodded back, and my eyes landed on Edward, and I saw tears were starting to build up. However, before I could say anything to him Ben crouched down and picked him up in his left arm, and Edward instantly snuggled into the crux of his neck while he used his phone to ring his parents. And my heart broke to see my family like this, but I knew that we could get through this.
However, my thoughts on how strong our family was come to an abrupt end when a loud scream erupted from Isabelle's mouth which made me, Ben and Edward all freeze as Belle answered the phone.
"Mother we need you to look after Edward" I heard Ben say before Isabelle screamed once more. I quickly slid across to the end of the bed and threw my legs over and put my feet to the floor, I then quickly stood up and walked quickly from her room. I really didn't know what was going on with our little princess, but I knew one thing for definite. We would find out what was going on and we would get her through it - starting with getting her to Doctor Cameron.
