Chapter 4 Waking Up
Bella P.o.v.
Burning. That's all I could feel my whole body felt like it was on fire like flames were licking my insides. I didn't know how long it's been how long I've been laying here burning but it felt like years.
I tried to picture my babies I knew I could get through this for them. I vaguely remember Carlisle and Alice showing up and getting the babies out. I'm glad they weren't alone and were being taken care of. Oh how I wish Edward could be the one caring for them they are his children after all. Maybe they called him.
I didn't think too much on that I didn't want to get my hopes up. I still loved him and wished he could be here. But I'm still mad that he lied to me I don't care that he was trying to protect me he still lied and it hurts that he would lie to me.
I don't know if I can forgive him I'm sure I will in time but he's going to have to earn my trust back.
I'm just going to concentrate on raising my kids the best I can.
The fire was starting to burn less and it started to leave my limbs I was glad it was almost over.
The fire suddenly rushed to my heart and it was pounding ferociously until it thumped one last time and then silence filled the air.
I could hear birds chirping from somewhere outside I could hear 4 heartbeats that sounded like hummingbirds. That must be my babies I thought. I could hear hushed voices that I couldn't make out.
Suddenly I opened my eyes and bolted upright. Alice and Carlisle were standing there in front of me looking curious.
"Bella? You're awake!" Alice said sounding confused
"How long was I out?" I asked
Carlisle then stepped forward speaking for the first time since I awoke
"You've only been out a day, the change should have taken 3 days" Carlisle said
"Well I did already have some vampire characteristics when I was pregnant thanks to the babies" I said since I figured that was the most likely reason
"Ok well anyway, how are you feeling does your throat burn?" Carlisle asked
" No not really, can I see my babies now?" I asked
I didn't give them a chance to respond I could hear where my babies were they were in the nursery I jumped up and ran to the nursery.
Arriving in the nursery I was shocked to see Edward looking into the cribs. Shock. Anger. Sadness. Love. Anxiousness.
There were so many emotions going threw me but Anger beat them all how dare he see my children before I do. He better not of dare named them or ill rip him to shreds!
"Leave Edward we'll talk later I can't talk to you right now" I said trying to sound calm but anger leaking through my now bell like voice
He walked out and down the hall I was surprised that he didn't argue.
I walked over to the first crib and looked in to see my daughter she was beautiful she had bronze hair like her father and brown eyes like my human eyes. I picked her up and cuddled her to my chest she didn't look like a newborn she looked to be around 4 or 5 months old. I rocked her back in forth and she soon fell asleep. I knew her name it was Renesmee Carlie Cullen.
I walked over to the next crib and looked in to see another daughter she had bright green eyes and brown hair like mine. She was also very beautiful she looked a lot like Renesmee but her face was more heart shaped where Renesmee's was more slender and round. I picked her up and cuddled her just like I had done with my first daughter. I decided to name her Arabella Marie Cullen after me since she looked a lot more like me then Edward besides the eyes. I rocked her and then put her back down when she fell asleep.
I went over to the next crib across the room to see my son he was beautiful with dark brownish bronze hair and bright green eyes like his sister. I picked him up rocking him he was bigger than his sisters he looked to be around 6 months old. I knew his name Mason Anthony Cullen he looked a lot like his father so I figured it was fitting he looked like a little baby Edward just with darker hair. I rocked him but he wasn't interested in sleeping he just smiled brightly at me I put him back in his crib going over to my last baby.
It was another boy and he looked a lot different from his brother he dad dark brown eyes and dark brown hair he also looked 6 months like his brother. I picked him up rocking him as he just stared mesmerized by me. He seemed different then his siblings I wasn't sure what it was he seemed maybe a little more fragile maybe more sensitive than the others. When I went to put him down he whimpered a little bit making me not want to put him down. Alice then walked in.
"It's his power Bella. He can make you do whatever he wants" Alice said
I stared at my baby shocked "Well I wish he wouldn't use his power on me id hold him either way" Suddenly I was able to put him down
"Whoa what was that? He just let go he hasn't done that for any of us normally we have to talk him down that we'll be here and it takes hours" Alice said
"And speaking of mysteries how was it that me and Alice just appeared here right before the babies came?" Carlisle said coming into the room
"I don't know I just wished for you to be here and then suddenly you were" I said sounding confused not understanding it myself
"That must be it then your power is whatever you wish. That's an amazing power I've never heard of such a thing" Carlisle said
" How about we go sit down in the living room there's some things we need to tell you Bella" Carlisle said
We all went down to the living room but not before I grabbed the baby monitor even though I'd hear my babies without it.
When we got to the living room I just stood there turning to Carlisle also seeing Edward standing in the room.
"How about we all sit it might be best" Alice suggested
I sat next to Alice on the couch as she put a comforting hand on me. This couldn't be good I started getting worried something was wrong with my 4 beautiful babies.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with one of my babies?" I asked getting scared
Edward suddenly came and sat next to me. I didn't even care I was too worried for my babies.
"You didn't just have 4 babies you had 5" Carlisle said
I looked at him shocked where was my other baby? What was wrong with her or him? Did I lose the baby? I couldn't lose my baby I loved all my babies sooo much all these questions went through my head in mere seconds.
I started to cry tears going down my face
"Your 5th baby was a girl and is human she is very small weighing only a pound she can't breathe on her own yet and is in the incubator with oxygen she also has lots of bruises from the other babies kicking surprisingly she didn't have any broken bones like we originally thought that's why we called Edward I needed another person with a medical degree" Carlisle said
"Where is she I need to see her" I said trying to hold back my tears
"She's upstairs in the room you gave birth in she's very fragile right now and will remain in the incubator for a few weeks until her lungs are more developed luckily she does contain a small amount of venom so she's been healing faster than a normal premie but still slower than her siblings would" Carlisle said as we started on our way up the stairs
When I walked in the room and saw her I couldn't help but let a sob escape as tears poured down my face she was so small and had tubes all over her body and her little chest was rising and falling from the ventilator that was breathing for her.
I sat in a chair that was next to her and reached my hand in through the holes that had gloves attached so you could touch the baby and I gently stroked her cheek.
"Emma" I said
"That's what I'm naming her my small little brave Emma Grace Cullen" I whispered
"That's a beautiful name for our daughter Bella" Edward said as he sat on the other side of her also gently stroking her other cheek
I looked up at him with tears in my eyes. I had so much love for him but I just didn't want to get my heart broken again and him get scared and then run again I didn't think I could take it.
"Would you like to know your other daughters and sons names?" I asked
"Yes I would love to I've been dying to know" Edward replied
We then walked over to the nursery after wishing Emma a good sleep and telling her we'd be back soon.
Once in the nursery I walked over to Renesmee as everyone gathered in the room.
"This is Renesmee Carlie Cullen named after my mom and Esme for her first name and my dad and Carlisle for her middle name" I said looking to Edward seeing a smile of pride on his face before looking at Carlisle who looked like he'd be crying if he could
"Thank you Bella it is an honor to have one of my granddaughters named after me and I know Esme will be so happy and grateful when she finds out too" Carlisle said coming over to hug me
I then went over to my next daughter who looked so much like me.
"This is Arabella Marie Cullen she's named after me since she looks so much like me" I said with a smile
"Beautiful that's a beautiful name just like her mother" Edward said
I blushed looking up at him seeing his crooked grin he was dazzling me.
I wanted across the room to Masons crib to introduce him next.
"This is Mason Anthony Cullen names after you Edward he looks so much like you that it was just such a fitting name for him" I said blushing some more
I then walked over to my last son.
"This is Taylor Lee Cullen and he's already so smart and has a well-developed gift it definitely caught me by surprise he's not names after anyone I just really liked the name" I said
Taylor started to cry and then my other 3 babies followed.
"They must be hungry I'll go get there bottles" Edward said
"No need this seems like a good time to try out my power" I said
"I wish I had 4 bottles of fresh animal blood" then 4 bottles of blood appeared on the mantle I smelt them and they were grizzly bear
We each grabbed a baby and a bottle and fed them since there were 4 of us I ended up with Taylor he was so adorable sucking away at his bottle he was defiantly a mama's boy.
We just rocked all the babies for a while until they fell back asleep they already looked bigger since I first saw them only a few hours ago.
We then all went back to the living room to chat me sitting the furthest away from Edward as I could get. I still wasn't happy he was here and wasn't ready to forgive him just yet.
"So Bella I've noticed a few unusual things since you woke up you are able to cry and blush and you also look somewhat tired if that's possible" Carlisle said
"I was wondering about that too Carlisle and I think I'm more like the babies than you and actually I am pretty tired but I'm ok for now I'm not sure how I'm more like the babies but I am and I don't want to dwell on the how right at this moment" I said
"Fair enough we can talk about it at another time when you're more rested" Carlisle said
"Bella can we please talk at some point in the near future? I really want your forgiveness and to explain but I understand if u can never forgive me" Edward said looking at me with sadness and guilt in his eyes
"We can talk tomorrow when I'm rested I'm still angry with you but I know the real reason you left Alice told me but I'm still angry that you could leave me and am scared you'll leave me again if you get scared. You'll have to earn my forgiveness and my trust but one day maybe we can start over but not right now" I said looking him in the eyes
I then decided it was time for me to go up to bed so I said goodnight and went up the stairs I stopped in the nursery kissing all my babies tonight seeing they were all still sound asleep and then walked over to the room Emma was in.
I sat down with her putting my hand in to stroke her little hand and then layed my head down on my arms falling fast asleep next to my brave little Emma.
