I'm trying my hardest to get a grip on this story. I read a review that said, basically VAMPIRES CAN'T GET HUMANS PREGNANT. I know I understand. Actually I hate reading, Bella is Pregnant stories, but this one came to me during school and I thought it would be interesting. Besides I really do hate reading some people's stories because I see mistakes in the actual story or whatever and I want to change it. So, for those of you who do like these stories, hope you enjoy.

My emotions were shot to hell by the time my ancient truck had made it to the Cullen residence. Even though it was dark and the shadows cast by the trees made the white mansion look slightly different, it really was different. Did that make sense? This was my home now, too. A place that I would share with Edward and the Cullen family and the baby.
The rocking motion of the truck soon lulled me to sleep. Cold arms rapped around me and soon my environment grew brighter; we must have walked inside. Soon I was lying on a very soft surface that grew warm with my body heat. The bed sunk slightly as Edward laid down next to me. I cuddled up to the cool body and drifted off to La-la Land.

Bella's breathing deepened as she slipped into the dream realm. I lied there thinking of her, thoughts reeled, and not just mine as the moon played tricks on my angels' hair.
Esme and Carlisle were having a tender moment, and Emmet and Rosalie weren't at the house. Jasper was reading a book in French and Alice was shopping. It was her thoughts that disturbed me the most.
Oh, I can't wait until Bella wakes up! She's just going to love the outfits I bought. Hopefully they'll be here in the morning. And there is an awesome maternity store in Seattle. We'll just have to go there. She should be okay for the next month, but she'll grow a pant size or two by the time school ends. Lucky her no one will really be able to notice until after the two month marker.
I'll have to drag Jasper down to Port Townsend later on this week, too. There's suppose to be a really awesome store there with just the neatest stuff (AN: Rising Phoenix is one of the most awesome stores there! Go there if ever get the chance) Then there was a pause. Edward Anthony, you get out of my mind this instant. I cringed as pictures of Jasper flooded my mind.
My mind drifted on. My Bella. So loving, so kind. She stirred a bit and began to talk.
"No Alice, please…" She rolled over. I wondered what Alice was doing to Bella in her dream. As if called, Alice was soon peering over my side looking at Bella. What the..
"Please, no more stores…" Of course, Alice was taking Bella shopping. Alice snickered and left. Bella rolled back over and snuggled closer to me.

I woke to kisses all over my face. A voice chuckled, "Time to get up Bella." I could tell the sun was up, but I was enjoying lying with my soon to be husband too much. "No thank you." I replied. Again the velvet voice chuckled.
Okay, it was time to get up. I rolled over to get off the bed and to my surprise, fell. I squeezed my eyes shut, waiting for the hit of the floor that never came. Cautiously, I opened my eyes to come face to face with Edward. I didn't know what my face looked like, but must have been funny because a smiled crept onto his face. Getting up, I tried to straighten my PJ's and walk to the bathroom for my human moment with all the pride I had left. Of course, I tripped on the way.
I turned on the shower and stepped in as soon as the water was warm to my liking. Slowly I washed my hair and unknotted the muscles in my back. Soon the water turned cold. It was time to get out. I thanked my lucky stars that it was Saturday. I don't think I could handle a Monday after last nights events.
I returned to Edward's, I mean, our room to find it empty. Smells of food drifted to my nose, it must be breakfast time. Cautiously I headed down the stairs, carefully placing each foot on the step before moving my weight. I didn't know if anyone was paying attention, but I really didn't feel like taking a spill down the stairs on my first official day of living here.
A sudden wind whipped past me as I moved down to the next step. My foot slipped. Luckily I didn't hit the step. "Sorry 'bout that Bella." It was Emmet. "I didn't see you walking there. Bye." Then he took off running. After taking a few minutes to breath again, I made it down to the kitchen with no other miss haps.
Edward was finishing up making me breakfast when I arrived. "You don't have to cook me breakfast you know." Cooking was the only thing I could do better than Edward until he decided to learn how. Now nothing I cooked could even compare to what he could whip up in minutes.
"I know." Smug as always.
"Edward, really, you don't have to cook for me all the time. I can cook for myself. You don't see me outside finding mountain lions for you, now do you?" his smile turned serious. He didn't like when I talked about his eating habits.
"That's not the same Bella, and you know it."
"Well sure it is. You hunt for your food and I hunt for mine. The only difference is that you hunt in the woods and I hunt in the kitchen." He really was stubborn about it.
"Drop it Bella." Before I could begin again, he shoved a plate of food in my face.
"Edward, I'm never going to be able to eat all of this." The steaming plate, or platter as it should be properly called, was filled with eggs, toast, pancakes, sausage and fruit.
"Your eating for two now."
I glared, "Honestly Edward, the second person is microscopic right now. I doubt that it needs even half of the food on this plate."
"Bella, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Not only is it important, but it is also the biggest meal of the day; or should be." I rolled my eyes. Great… a nutritionist!
"He's right you know." I turned around to see Carlisle entering the kitchen. He probably wanted to see what all the bickering was about and to throw in some two sense of a doctor.
I gave my best growl and began to eat. It was fabulous of course. Nothing I could have made would compare to it. The eggs were over easy, the toast was perfectly golden and each pancake was exactly the same size.
Soon Esme joined us in the kitchen along with Jasper. Was I really that interesting to watch? "Is eating really that fascinating?"
"We all just wonder how you could put that horribly smelling food into your mouth and actually eat it." This was Jasper. "I can't even remember eating as a human."
How could he say it smelled horrible! It smelled wonderful and tasted even better. I cut a big piece of pancake and shoved it in my mouth, chewing happily just for spite. Jasper said something unintelligent then left the room.
I was on my last piece of toast when the door bell rang and a shriek followed. "IT'S HERE!" Alice dashed down to the front door before anyone could even move. The door opened to reveal four giant boxes and a man with a clip board.
"Sign here please." He hadn't even looked up.
"Well, it's about time you got here. I've been waiting all morning."
"Your place isn't the easiest thing to find you know." Then he took to clip board and left.
"He was rude, wasn't he." Alice said as she heaved boxes in through the door then disappeared up stairs with all four of the boxes. Then I was ripped away from the kitchen to find myself sitting in Alice's room still holding my toast.
"Come on Bella, we have clothes to look at." Alice ripped open the first box. Inside were tons of baby clothes. There was an assortment of colours and styles. Every now and then she'd toss me something and mutter on about how cute it was.
"Bella, just you wait. I found some of the greatest baby clothes online. And did you know I was even able to find baby clothes from my favorite name brands." She was just so excited.
She tossed a sweater my way. Before I tossed it aside I glance at the tag. It was in complete French until I happened across the price. "ALICE!! You spent $120 on this sweater that the kid will grow out of in a year if we are lucky?"
"Yeah, and your point."
"The point is your not allowed to buy these clothes for my child!"
She turned around, "Why not?"
"Because.." There was no way I was going to let Alice spent that much money no matter how much of it they had. "Because I said so." I felt like sticking out my tongue, but it just wasn't the time nor the place.
"Well too bad." I let it drop, for now. Hopefully I'd be able to return some of the things while she was hunting.
"And don't even think about returning these clothes." Yup, personal hell.
After a while, I noticed something. "Alice?"
"Hmm…"
"Why do you have blues and pinks and girls and boys clothes? Surely you know if it will be a boy or a girl." I was sure Alice knew, but didn't want to tell me. Knowing her it was to be a surprise. No one seemed to understand that I didn't like surprises or money to be spent on me. So far Alice had done both.
"Of course I know what the baby will be, silly. I bought two of everything in pink and blue because your going to have twins." She turned around to go back to sorting as I sat there on the bed in shock. TWINS!!! What am I suppose to do with twins. That's too many kids isn't it! I mean… I mean… The world went black for a second time.

"Bella?" the voice was soft, not Edwards, "Bella?" it came again. My head felt light. A word came back, twins. "Bella?" The voice was more persistent, so I sat up.
My eyes met a bright room covered in books and pictures; Carlisle's office. "Relax Bella and take deep breaths. We need to talk."
"Okay." I felt a little uncomfortable, especially without Edward.
"I sent the family out so we will have some privacy." He started right into it. "Bella, carrying twins is much different." He paused, going into doctor mode, "We are going to have to get your diet back up online and make sure you get regular exercise." It sounded like I was a pet or some experiment that needed a few controlled variables. "To be honest, Bella, you're a small girl and twins will be tough for you physically. Right now you show next to nothing and probably won't for the first month or so, but the babies will grow fast. The important thing to remember is that if anything is off or you just don't feel right you let either Edward, Esme, or I know." He smiled switching back to father mode. "Any questions?"
I was completely overwhelmed, "But how?" It slipped out, I knew how.
He smiled softly, "I'm not quite sure. All I can figure is that some of the poison managed to split the egg before it completely dissipated." How logical, "You're the only person I have ever heard of baring children when one or more parents is a vampire. I really don't know what to expect, no one does." Just then, I felt alone. Like it was just me, only me, all my fault. Stupid, special, weird Bella. I just had to be the most different human in the whole history of human existence.
"What does he think?" Though I didn't say his name we both knew who it was I was speaking of. All I could think about was Edward. Sure, he wanted to have a child, but twins was something different. Even Carlisle said so.
"He couldn't be happier." Then I was alone in the office.
"Thank you Bella." Cool lips touched the nape of my neck and I just had to smile. It never occurred to me that Edward might want to have a large family. I guess I always thought he would hate me for putting this burden on him. How wrong I was.

Lots of OOC, I know, -hangs head- but I did update and I hope the beginning crappy part of this chapter gets over ridden by the rest. I know that the characters are OOC, but it's kind of nice to see how you truly 'see' the characters.
