Hello everyone! Penultimate chapter! I hope you like it ... I loved writing it, although it took more time than usual.
Some clarifications: The Cullens gave Edward to the wolves because not doing so would mean a war with them and no one in the family was willing to do that after what Edward had done. After the execution, the Cullens were escorted to Washington's borders so as not to return. The treaty is null.
As we are finishing with this Fic, tell me what couple would like to read next ... Anyone but Bella / Carlisle, which seems a bit incestuous and ... Yikes! Ha ha ha ha ha ha
Thank you for the wonderful reviews I received in the previous chapter, as I have already told you I treasure each one ... thank you, thank you, thank you!
Love and enjoy!%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Capítulo 25
Gotta beep out what I really wanna shout
Whoops! Did I say it out loud?
Did you find out? (oow yeah)
I wanna have your babies
You're serious like crazy

I see 'em springing up like daisies.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Some of my feelings keep escaping
So I make it a joke
Nonchalant I keep on faking.
I Wanna Have Your Babies / Natasha Bedingfield
Bella POV
Months later…
I woke up one morning with soft kisses on my stomach and sweet caresses on my breasts... Paul was in the mood to play...
Lately I was sleeping very little and my back hurt a lot because of the weight of the puppies, but everything was worth it for our 2 boys (at least that is what could be seen in the only ultrasound that we managed to do... although I knew that Paul would melt if we got a girl).
-"Paul... Mmmmmh... Mooooore…" - I moaned at his touch. Our sex life had not diminished with my pregnancy, but on the contrary, the hormones had me in a state of almost constant arousal, and Paul took advantage of this happy fact.
-"Good morning princess..." - He said still kissing my stomach. The puppies felt him close began and to dive and kick inside me - Happy birthday...
-"Thanks Paul... I am happy, you know?" - I said watching him adore my body and his children.
-"I have a gift for you" - He told me sitting on the bed next to me.
-"Oh yeah?" - I said feigning indifference just to extend the excitement.
-"Yeah" – He said, apparently very proud of himself.
-"What is it?" - I asked smiling without being able to contain my curiously.
-"You have to guess... Right hand or left hand?" - He asked, picking up something from behind him.
-"Mmmmh... I don´t know... Will you give me a clue?" - I laughed trying to make a pout.
-"In exchange for a kiss" - He said, bringing his mouth close to mine.
-"Come here" - I said, entangling my fingers in his hair, which was longer, just as I liked it, making him look even sexier. We shared a passionate kiss full of promises for later, which lasted until I interrupted it – "My clue!".
Paul didn´t say anything, but with his eyes he looked to the right and then his gaze focused slowly on me again.
-"The right!" - I exclaimed, applauding super enthusiastic. Paul´s surprises I did liked because I felt his equal, so It didn´t bother me if from time to time he spent a little money on me, especially on my birthday.
Paul brought his huge right fist to the front... And it was empty.
-"Paul! You´re an asshole! You cheated!" - I exclaimed giving him a swipe on the arm – "Give me my surprise!" – I demanded, extending my hands to the front.
-"Nop, you lost!" - He said with a smile that I can only define as maleficent.
-"But you cheated! You told that you´ll give me a clue in exchange for a kiss... and I gave you the kiss" - I argued.
-"But I didn´t say if it would be a true or false clue!" – He laugh. I jumped on him with all the grace of a whale stranded in the sand and tried to surround his body with my hands to take my surprise, but unfortunately my hands no longer reached to surround his body.
-"Paaaaaaaau!" - I complained. The pups kicked, especially restless – "The puppies and I will get angry at you!"
-"Ok, ok... Another kiss for a real clue" - He said trying to negotiate.
-And how do I know I can trust you?" - I asked skeptically.
-"Because I solemnly promise you that if you give me another kiss I´ll give you your gift" – He said with his hand over his heart and pointing his head at his right side.
-"Mmmmmh..." -I tried to look like I was pondering it seriously, and I went to him to kiss him again. His tongue explored my mouth sensually and I nibbled his lips in revenge for cheating. We both finished the kiss laughing – "Left! Now give me my surprise!" – I Demanded.
-"Princess... You know that I love you more than anything in the world" - He said suddenly serious – "You gave me a home and a family and I will never be able to thank enough to God or whoever is responsible for me founding you in the meadow that day... That´s why I want you to be mine in as many ways as humanly possible… Isabella Swan, would you do the honor of being my wife?" - He said extending me a small black velvet box.
-"Paul! I..." -I said surprised. Not that I opposed marriage, after all we already lived as such, but Paul had never mentioned it before, and I thought we would just keep living together forever.
When I opened the box I could see a rare and beautiful gold ring that showed a miniature scene of a couple of wolves. The male was standing on his feet howling at the moon formed by a diamond, and the female was lying next to him... Where had Paul found something so special and unique?
-"Yes" - I said simply, without even think about it.
-"Yes?" - He asked looking into my eyes with an expression full of emotion.
-"Yes Paul... I want to be your wife and the mother of your children" - I said – "Besides we already have half of the work done!"
-"I love you princess!" - He exclaimed and kissed me again, this time without stopping. He kissed and caressed me slowly and carefully we made love, and I went back to sleep in his arms, resting until noon.
oooOooo
That afternoon all our friends and Charlie came to visit me for my birthday. We had a barbecue and Emily and Kim brought a couple of huge salads each.
Looking around, my eyes fell on Charlie drinking a beer by the grill. Charlie spent more time in The Reservation than in Forks, between visiting Paul and me and his fishing trips with Billy. His friend Harry Clearwater had died a couple of months ago from a heart attack, and Charlie occasionally helped Sue, the widow, with some heavy chores at home.
Sue was having a lot of difficulties, since she was the mother of not one, but two wolves: Leah and Seth; she had also assumed Harry's place on the council.
At another end of the garden, away from the scandal of the young wolves playing soccer, Jacob and Leah were kissing as if the world was going to end. They had imprinted just 2 weeks ago (to the surprise of everyone, including themselves) and since then they hadn´t separated for a minute.
Paul had been working on the blueprints of a house for them, and Sam and the boys would help to build it. A couple of recently imprinted wolves needed each other too much to be separated by sleeping each in their house at nightfall.
The rest of The Pack was more or less the same. There had been no new additions of wolves or sightings of vampires in the area.
-"How do you feel princess?" - The warm voice of my wolf caressed my ear and pulled me from my musings.
-"Perfectly, just a little tired" - I said caressing my stomach with one hand and my back with the other... Ugh! What a nuisance was my back...! When would this pregnancy end? I was already 8 months old and twins are supposed to born early! – "And you?" - I asked.
-"Perfectly" - He repeated, hugging me from behind.
-"Paul, I think I'm going to need a massage tonight when the party ends" - I told him in a shushed voice – "My back hurts, it must be because I find it so difficult to find a comfortable position when I´m sleeping..."
-"Do you want to go to bed now? I can get rid of everyone in an instant" - He offered, concerned.
-"No, I'm fine, don´t get rid of anybody" - I said without wanting to ruin the party for everyone – "But I think I'm going to lie down for a few minutes before dinner" - I answered standing up.
And then I peed... A lot.
Only it was not pee.
-"Ups…!" - I exclaimed knowing exactly what had happened – "Paul, go call Sue, my water just broke…"
-"Sue!" - Paul shouted, not wanting to leave me alone for a second. He took me between his strong arms and took me to our bedroom.
Sue, Charlie and Collin Sr. immediately came to see what the scandal was all about.
-"My water broke" - I explained as Paul deposited me lovingly in our bed. Clearly we couldn´t go to the hospital, this wasn´t a normal pregnancy.
-"Bella!" - Sue exclaimed – "Since when are you in labor?"
-"Ah? No, I have not had any contractions..." – I said, confused – "Only this persistent back pain that doesn´t leave me alone..."
-"Since when does your back hurts?" - She asked, raising an eyebrow.
-"Since last night to right know..." -I answered.
Sue and Collin Sr. shared a look and Sue announced
-"Bella, you've been in labor for 24 hours!"
-"But... Ok, it hurts, but it's not super terrible like people say..." –I answered.
-"Your pain threshold is high" - She told me – "Besides now that the bag is broken is when the really interesting part comes..." - She smiled – "Ok!" - She said in a louder voice – "All those who are not directly involved with the delivery, outside the room!"
The small crowd that had formed in our room cleared and we were left alone Paul, Sue, Collin Sr and me.
-"Congratulations Paul...! Today you're going to become a dad" - Said Collin Sr.
oooOooo
My first stage lasted for about 6 hours and it was totally normal (and as painful as Sue had announced). Finally I was totally dilated and it was time to start pushing.
-"The last effort Bella!" -Said Sue – "Push!"
-"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" - I yelled, clutching at Paul's hand, which was especially pale and looked as if he would faint at any moment.
-"It's crowning Bella! One last effort!" -Exclaimed Collin Sr.
-"I can´t do it anymore... I'm very tired... And it hurts a lot - I said with my eyes closed" – Maybe I´m not be ready...
-"PUSH BELLA!" - Sue yelled at me, and I obeyed.
-"Here he comes... Yes... A little boy..." - Sue said, sounding emotional – "Cut the umbilical cord Paul" - She said handing him a pair of scissors.
-"I want... To see him" - I exclaimed while the contractions continued to hit my body.
-"Here you have Bella" - Sue said handing me a little lump of meat that moved and whimpered like a kitten. She placed it gently on my chest and Paul and I broke down crying and laughing with joy and pride... At last we were parents!
-"William Charles Meraz" - Said Paul wiping away his tears with one hand and caressing his son with the other.
-"Aaaaaaaaah!" - I screamed again, the contractions more and more painful and I was more and more exhausted.
-"Paul, take your son and go show it to the rest of The Pack, we don´t want the child to be scared with the screams of his mother" - Sue ordered.
-"I don´t want to leave Bella" - Said Paul with the baby lost in his arms.
-"Now Paul!" - Sue ordered.
-"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" - I yelled from another contraction.
Paul POV
Will's birth is the most horrible thing I've ever seen in my life. My princess screaming in pain, all that blood and stuff, and nothing that I could do to alleviate her... It's something I'm not sure I want to experience again.
When I was kicked out of the room with Will in my arms I took my time to examine him. 5 fingers in each hand, 5 toes in each foot... his skin was less dark than mine, and his hair was brown like Bella's. My firstborn was perfect.
-"Aaaaaaaaaah! Paaaaaul!" - I heard Bella scream.
-"Emily!" - I exclaimed, drawing her attention from the hallway. I could hear her making tea in the kitchen.
-"Paul?" - Asked Emily leaning out - Oh! Paul he´s beautiful! - She exclaimed fascinated looking at the little bulge that I cradled in my arms.
-"I need you to take care of him for a few moments, I must return with Bella..." - I asked.
-"Of course! Kim and I are going to give him his first bath" - Emily said - What's his name?
-"Will... William Charles Meraz" - I answered proudly.
-"Congratulations Paul..." – She said kissing my cheek – "Now you go with Bella, she needs you".
When I went back into the room I could see that the mood had changed... Sue and Collin Sr. looked worried, there were bloody towels everywhere and Bella looked winded, too exhausted to scream.
-"What happened?" -I asked.
-"She's exhausted and losing a lot of blood" – Said Collin Sr.
-"Come on Bella... One last effort!" - Sue exclaimed.
-"Nnnnnaaaaaaaah!" - Bella yelled, pushing with all her might. More blood came out soaking the mattress.
-"It's coming out... it's turned around, that's why it´s so difficult..." - Said Sue – "Go again Bella!"
-"Aaaaaaaaah!" - Bella yelled almost on the verge of collapse.
-"There he comes! Once again Bella, one last effort!" – Said Collin Sr.
-"I can´t... I can´t anymore..." - Whimper Bella.
-"Yes you can! Push!" - Sue encouraged her.
-"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" – Cried Bella.
-"Here he is... Paul, you cut the cord" - Sue said, showing my baby bathed in blood... my Bella's blood.
Once I cut the cord Sue wiped the baby with towels and put it on Bella's chest as she had done with Will.
-"Robert..." - Said Bella in a sob, looking at our son fascinated.
-"All finished princess... Now you can rest" - I said kissing her forehead, proud of my fiancé.
-"Uh... No guys, this... This is not over yet..." - Said Collin Sr.
-"What do you mean?" - I asked without paying him too much attention.
-"Mmmmmh... Apparently they are triplets..."
Oh shit, it seems that I really am supersperman!
Did you like it?
The next one is the last chapter.

Love
