Chapter 3 The Birth
Alice P.o.v.
I was just sitting in my room trying to see Bella but she disappeared from my visions. I haven't been able to see Bella since a week after we left. Edward was still off trying to track down Victoria and we haven't heard from him in months. I was suddenly pulled into a vision
Bella was lying on the ground next to a couch covered in blood there was no indication of where she was only that she was in a house somewhere bleeding and she needed help
I started dry sobbing when I came out of the vision we were going to lose Bella and its all Edwards fault. If he hadn't of left this never would have happened. There's no way we could get to her in time.
Jasper rushed in the room hearing my cries and put me on his lap and holding me close.
" What's wrong darlin? " Jasper whispered in my ear
" Be..lla.. " I cried
" It's all going to be ok darlin I'm sure she's fine " Jasper said
" No.. She's not I seen her… there was blood everywhere and we can't get to her in time.. " I said as I sniffled
" shh.. It's ok.. Its ok " he said as he tried not to cry
Suddenly his arms weren't around me anymore I was in front of a house I looked to my right noticing so was Carlisle.
I smelt blood and not any blood Bella's blood this must be where she's living now I thought in a rush. We then heard a scream.
"Carlisle its Bella she needs your help I had a vision she was covered in blood" I started to run towards the house it only took him a moment for the shock to wear off and for him to rush towards the house
Luckily he was on his way to the hospital and was carrying his medical bag.
When we got into the house it was like a horror scene in front of us Bella was slumped over on the floor covered in blood I ran over to her and layed her on her back. To my shock she was pregnant but not just pregnant she was somehow full term and we only left 3 months ago.
" Impossible" I whispered
I then heard multiple heartbeats Bella's was very weak from her stomach I heard 4 very strong heartbeats and 1 very weak one
Bella suddenly opened her eyes and locked eyes with me
" Save the babies " she whispered
Carlisle started to look her over and check her vitals
" Bring me upstairs there's a room set up for the birth on the 2nd floor " Bella said very weakly
I picked her up not caring about all the blood getting on me I just wanted my best friend to be ok I carried her to the 2nd floor and found the room I layed her on the bed I noticed the room had everything Carlisle would need even 4 incubators it looked like a hospital room and looks like she was prepared for anything.
" Alice I'm going to need your help the only thing to get through Bella's stomach is vampire teeth I'm going to bite my way through and soon as I pull out the babies ill hand them to you and you can lay them down in the crib until we get all the babies out and I can check them over " Carlisle said in a rush
He started biting through Bella's abdomen before reaching in and lifting a baby out it was a girl he cut the cord and handed me the baby which I wrapped in a blanket and layed her in a crib.
He then did the same for the next 3 babies there was another girl and 2 boys they were all so beautiful. I couldn't believe I was an aunt I was so excited.
The excitement didn't last long though
" We have a problem it looks like the other babies were stronger than this one I need Edward this baby is injured and very sick " He said as he pulled the last baby out that was black and blue and rushed the smallest baby girl to the incubator hooking her up to oxygen she looked to be about only 1 pound
Once the baby was hooked up he went over and bit Bella and sealed her stomach with his venom before going back over to the baby as I called Edward hoping he answered
Ring.. Ring…ring….
" What is it Alice? You know I want to be alone " Edward said
" Edward.. You have to come to Portland, Oregon its Bella.. " I said
" What happened is she ok " he asked with worry in his voice
" you left her pregnant Edward I know it sounds impossible but you did I had a vision of her bleeding to death and then suddenly me and Carlisle were in front of the house she was in we walked in she was covered in blood and was full term we had to deliver the babies " I said in a rush
" She.. She was pregnant? I can't believe I left her pregnant and to do this alone is she ok? Is the baby ok? Wait did you say babies? As in more than one " he said
" There's 5 babies she had quints Carlisle had to bite her so she's currently in middle of the change but u need to come and u need to hurry 4 of the babies are ok but.. the last baby… was human and to small Carlisle needs you he's trying to keep the baby alive as we speak but it's not looking good just please hurry Edward " I said
" I'm on my way I was just about to pass Oregon anyway " he said before hanging up
I went back over to the babies seeing them all asleep before going to try and help Carlisle till Edward gets here.
Edward P.o.v.
I couldn't believe I was a father and not just to 1 baby but 5! I don't know how we were going to do this. I was running as fast as I could trying to get there as soon as possible knowing my child's life depended on me.
I was hoping Bella would forgive me and let me be in my children's life I don't know how this was possible but I know Alice wouldn't lie about this.
On the run there I thought of what I would say to Bella when she wakes from the change and what my children would look like. I wondered if I had boys or girls or a mix of both.
When I finally picked up there scents I followed this up to a house that was beautiful and ran inside up the stairs where I heard heartbeats. I rushed over to where Carlisle was and that's when I noticed a baby girl laying there weighting probably no more than a pound her eyes were closed and she was black and blue probably from the other babies kicking but she was still perfect in my eyes.
" How can I help? " I asked Carlisle
" Gently hold the baby down while I check for injuries " Carlisle said
I gently held my daughter down careful not to hurt her more. She looked so helpless and small and I was trying not to start dry sobbing.
" Well she has no broken bones she's just bruised and her lungs are very undeveloped it looks like she does contain some venom which is helping heal her just very slowly but faster than a normal human baby but it's not enough venom to make her grow faster like her siblings but I'd say she is full human just with a little venom shell probably have to be in the incubator for a couple weeks till she can breathe on her own and we'll all have to be very careful with her " Carlisle said
I signed in relief knowing my little daughter would live I bent down kissing her on the forehead and went over to the crib that contained my other 4 children.
To my surprise they were all sitting up staring at me they didn't look like newborns they looked to be 3 or 4 months old which is probably there accelerated growth there was 2 boys and 2 girls all dressed in cute little outfits thanks to Alice I'm sure.
My daughter started to reach for me so I took her into my arms kissing her on her forehead she put her hand on my cheek and suddenly there were images in my head.
My daughter was being taken out of Bella's stomach and then she was put in the crib she showed me another picture of Bella until I understood what she was asking
" This must be your gift little one so much like daddy already mommy will be fine she will wake up in a couple days maybe sooner but until then it's just you me and your siblings " I told my daughter
I put my daughter back down and then picked up my other daughter who just stared at me with a toothless grin. I kissed her forehead and put her back in the crib before picking up my 2 boys they looked to be a little bigger than the girls
" Now you're going to have a job growing up to always protect your sisters especially your littlest sister she's more fragile then you " I said to my boys not sure if they could understand me but they looked to understand it
I kissed their foreheads and put them back in the crib and then walking over to where Bella lay.
" I will always protect you and our children Bella I am soo sorry I left I was stupid and should of listened to everyone I was just scared I was scared of you getting hurt so I ran and lied to you about why I left I'm sorry I just hope you can forgive me someday " I whispered in her ear as I pulled her into my arms
I layed there for an hour just talking to Bella before one of my daughters started to cry I figured they were hungry
I went and picked my daughter up and went downstairs to make a bottle leaving the other babies with Alice when I was done making 4 bottles I came back upstairs and me and Alice each tried to feed 2 babies I fed the girls and she fed the boys they took a couple sips from the bottle before spitting and out and they all started to cry.
We tried to rock them and change them but nothing seemed to work then my daughter reached up and put her hand on my cheek
" We thirsty daddy " my daughter said in my head
I tried giving her the bottle again but she just spit it back out again that's when I realized they wanted blood.
I left the babies with Alice and Carlisle and went to hunt something down for my babies I brought a couple thermoses and threw them in a bag on my back to fill up with blood.
I went out the back door in search of something good for my babies.
About 10 minutes later I smelled some mountain lion and knew that was perfect I killed and drained 1 and filled about 3 thermoses full I quickly pounced on the other lion hiding in the bushes before it could get away and filled 3 more thermoses.
I then put them all in my bag and headed back to my children once there I made the 4 bottles of blood and warmed them up a bit and put the rest in the fridge for later.
I ran up the stairs hearing my children still whimpering and handed 2 bottles to Alice and we fed the babies. They finished there bottles in just 2 minutes and they seemed satisfied. We kept watching them until they eventually fell asleep we quietly brought them over to the nursery where we saw 4 cribs and layed them down for the night.
