Chapter 17

"To the outside world we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time" - Clara Ortega

Edward's POV

I was dreaming about Bella, our new house, and our cute dog when suddenly someone flicked my ear. There knelt down by my side was Emmett, his piercing green eyes staring me down.

"Hey…" he whispered.

"Hey…" I responded trying to collect my thoughts and retreat from my dream world. The room was still very dark. I couldn't have fallen asleep for that long. I felt something squirm in my arms. I looked down to see that Sophie was still in my arms. Her eyes were wide and she was still smiling. Then I went into panic mode.

"Oh my gosh Emmett! I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to fall asleep with her like this!" I blurted out as quietly as I could. Emmett looked puzzled.

"What are you apologizing for? She's safe. Everything's fine" he said trying to console me. "Look at her though…she already adores you. I haven't seen her smile that big yet". I smiled as I looked back down at Sophie. The feelings were mutual. I adored her too.

"Em congratulations. These girls are gorgeous and so well behaved so far…" I said with a chuckle as my eyes met Emmett's again. He laughed too.

"They weren't behaving before Ed. They were like tiny monsters" he said with a slight smile as he rubbed Sophie's cheek with one of his fingers. I'd never seen Emmett look so innocent and so absorbed in someone else besides himself before. "How about we put her back in her crib and go and talk in the hall so all these lovely Cullen women can get some rest…Bella included" Emmett suggested to me.

"Deal" I whispered as I passed Sophie to Emmett. He placed her in her bassinet with ease and we tiptoed out of the room. Emmett slightly closed the door behind us. We needed to hear if the girls called or the babies cried.

"So?" I said as we both slid our backs down the wall and sat on the hospital floor.

"Well Rose's contractions started around seven last night. I called dad right away and he made the arrangements for us at the hospital. You know how much clout dad has and Rose wanted the best doctors. Anyways I drove Rose here and everyone was already waiting for us…Mom and Dad, Jasper and Alice. Only you and Bella were missing…I'm sorry about that by the way. Rose wanted you guys to be here for the birth…" he explained.

"No worries Em. What can ya do?" I asked and urged him to continue the story.

"So the doctors examined Rose and said that the babies were in the wrong positions to be delivered normally. Cesarean was our only option. Rose was scared but Dad promised it wouldn't hurt and ensured that the scar would be very small. She was really worried about that…" he chuckled. "Anyways Mimi came out first at 11.45 pm. Man she was screaming like bloody murder but she settled down. Sophie came at 11.57pm. Everyone was worried they wouldn't have the same birthdays but everything worked out for us. So now I'm a daddy!" he exclaimed.

"Yes you are and you're going to be the greatest. I can already see how much you love them…" I said

"Yeah man…it's unlike any other love. Best feeling in the world by far" he said with a huge smile.

"So what's the deal with their names? Did you and Rose agree?" I questioned.

"Well somewhat. I liked the name Amelia and Rose liked the name Sophia. We made a compromise I suppose. Then we decided we wanted to give them their Aunt's names as their middle names. Rose told you that I assume" he said

"Yeah she did. Bella got really choked up about it" I told him.

"That's so Bella" he said while rolling his eyes in a joking manor. I laughed with him for a bit and then he changed the conversation.

"Edward you look like shit…" he said

"Thanks Emmett. I have barely slept in three friggen days" I tried to explain to him

"Bella was riding you that much eh?" he said with a loud chuckle.

"Emmett can you ever constrain yourself?" I asked while I punched his arm. "It wasn't like that. Well…" I began. Emmett raised an eyebrow.

"Well what Edward?" he asked me

"Well we were pretty close to "doing the deed" but your daughters figured that it was the perfect time to enter the world…". Emmett practically was rolling on the ground. He was laughing so hard he was struggling to breathe. After a few good minutes he straightened up and composed himself.

"Back luck Bro. Sorry about that though! That's a story I'll have to definitely tell them about their Aunt and Uncle" he laughed.

"You'll do no such thing you ass! You can't tell them that! Promise me you won't Em" I pleaded.

"Oh fine. I promise. So fill me in on what you guys did in Boston. You guys stay at the Rougemont?" he asked

"Where else? Henry says hello by the way" I said cheerfully before I spoke again. "Well we really only had one day there. I took her to Harvard yesterday morning. I showed her Mom's and Dad's tree and the desk in the medical library. She loved it"

"Rose did too. Our girls are softies apparently. What else did you guys do?" he pushed

"Well after Harvard I took her to see some of the houses Rose had picked for us. We chose one actually. It's amazing. You'd like it. Huge garage" I said with a wink.

"Nice man! I say the family has Thanksgiving at your place this year! Everyone would love it. Boston's beautiful in the fall" he suggested

"I agree. I have to discuss it with Bells though. It's too early to be thinking about that anyways!" I joked.

"Fine" Emmett snipped and then grinned. "So that's it eh? I'm sorry your trip got cut short. Boston has so much to offer but you guys will be back soon enough".

"That's for sure" I said. By this point the sun was beginning to rise. "I assume the family will be coming back soon…"

"Yeah. Mom and Dad promised to be back around 8.30am. I'm sure Alice and Jasper will join them. They'll be excited to see you and Bella…" he said.

"Good. I have to discuss a few things with them" I mentioned.

"Oh yeah? Like what?" Emmett asked

"Well first I need to talk to dad about that house. He should have got the papers faxed to him by now. And I need to talk to mom about getting the place decorated. She won't be able to go down herself now that her granddaughters are here so she'll have to send somebody down for us. As for Rose, I need her help in hunting down a dog breeder. Specifically one for corgi's. Bella wants a dog you see…for the house" I said with a slight laugh.

"A dog? Well that's pretty exciting. So I suppose you are going to surprise her with one?"

"Bingo. I want to give it to her they day we leave for university. So we'll need to start looking into it. It'll need to be trained and stuff too so better now than later" I clarified.

"Seems like you got everything figured out" he declared as he turned towards the door. "Rose and Bella are talking. I guess its time to get back in there".

"Let's go" I said as we both stood up and stretched. We made our way into the room. Bella was sitting next to Rose in the bed. They were giggling about something. They noticed us when we walked in. I winked in her direction and took a seat near the door. Emmett went to kiss Rose before he joined me. I saw Bella pat Rose's arm before she jumped off the bed and skipped towards me. She hopped up into my lap and gave me a huge kiss.

Bella's POV

"Morning" I mumbled into Edward's ear before kissing him again.

"Hi" he whispered "What were you and Rose talking about?"

"Girl stuff" I giggled. I tilted by head backwards to see Emmett. I stared at him upside down for awhile before I spoke.

"Hi daddy…" I kidded as I tried to move myself closer to him to kiss his cheek. He leaned in and pecked me on the lips. Then he exploded into a fit of laughter. Edward chuckled and Rose giggled from the bed.

"Eww! Emmett! " I exclaimed as I flicked my head back towards Edward and wiped my lips with the back of my hand. "Why'd you do that?" I asked in a disgusted tone.

"I thought that's want you wanted me to do…" he said as he continued to laugh. "I was just kidding around! Even Edward knew… so what' that saying?" he joked and stood up.

"I'm going to spend time with my wife and kids now. You too lovebirds can carry on" he said. He ruffled my hair and winked at Edward before he approached Rose. I paid no attention to his comment.

"Edward can I talk to you outside for a second?" I said. He nodded and followed me out of the room and closed the door behind us.

"What's up?" he asked as he grabbed me and pulled me closer to him. He nuzzled his face in my neck.

'Well I was thinking…it's kind of rude of us to show up here with nothing for Rose and the girls. We should get flowers and stuffed animals or something…" I said as I pushed myself away from him to see his face.

"You're totally right. I have an idea" he said as he pulled his car keys and wallet out of his pocket and handed them to me. "My parents are going to be here in a few minutes and I really need to talk to them so why don't you take the car and drive home, get freshened up and let Charlie know you're back. After that you can buy some stuff for Rose and the babies. Use whatever credit card you want" he said pointing to his wallet. This was odd.

"Why can't you come with me?" I asked

"I told you. I need to talk to my parents. Will you be alright by yourself?"

"Yes…fine. Okay I'll do that. I'll be back in a few hours then. Call me if you need anything" I said as I pulled his face toward mine to kiss him quickly.

"See you soon! Be safe!" he shouted as I turned my back to him and walked towards the elevators. I kept walking but waved goodbye to him over my shoulder. Edward was acting strangely. First, he never ever let me drive his car and second, he always jumped at the opportunity to spend sometime with me alone but today he didn't. "What does Edward need to talk to his parents about so urgently? And why can't I be there?" I asked myself as I stepped into the elevator. My mind began to race. "He better not be up to any funny business" I said out loud as I opened his car door and got in. I knew Edward and his family were capable of all too much and the thought alone worried me…
