Okay, I am so sorry about the delay but we have no internet at home so I had to type this up and figure out how to get it to a computer that takes a flash drive (not floppy disk drive on the new computer… it sucks!)

I don't own Twilight or New Moon. They are Mrs. Meyers.

Chapter Nine: What Carlisle Didn't Tell Them

Thursday February 12, 2007

Bella POV

Mmmmmmmmmmm, ice cream and cookie dough." Rosalie stated as we sat on Alice's bed and watched the Friends DVDs we stole from Jasper.

"Where did you get that?" I asked. We just sent him to the store like fifteen minutes ago.

"Alice." She stated simply.

"Oh, sorry Bella, did you want some?" Alice said struggling to get up. She then waddled over to the walk-in-closet and opened another door where light flooded out. "Jasper bought this refrigerator about a month and a half ago. He just restocked it about a day and a half ago."

"Does John know you have that in here?" I asked.

"He doesn't have to know. It's my house, not his. Daddy left the house to me. Although, the boys seem to think different." Concordia said as she entered the room. "And I told her it was perfectly fine that she kept a fridge in here. Lord knows I have one in my room."

"Um, what flavor do you want Bella? Like Baskin Robins we have thirty-one flavors and one of our own creation. Blood Vanilla Ice Cream… it is the strangest of all the flavors we have but it is awesome."

"I think I will pass on that one. Um, do you have Cherry Garcia?"

"Yep. Cori, would you like anything?"

"I think I'll take you up on that Blood Vanilla."

"Alright."

"Do we have to watch Friends? I mean couldn't we watch, like, I don't know, a chick flick?" Alexa Montgomery had entered the room with a huge bag filled with little snacks for us whales. (Yeah I know we are the farthest things from whales but at this particular point in time it is what we look like.) Her mother Raja, her sisters Reia and Helena, and then Esme, followed her into the room. "I mean, it is girls night in… and at least this week we are not watching Family Guy!"

"Hey! I happen to really like that show." Omenzia said from her position on the floor. "I thought we could all watch it and compare the characters to our husbands. Like I said… Edward is definitely Stewie."

"Edward is not an evil little child trying to take over the world… or kill his mother for that matter." Esme stated as she sat down in one of the chairs. "Where's Emily?"

"She is on her way. She stopped at Jewel, Albertsons, Meijer… whatever the hell the grocery store is called here." Omenzia said after a moment of thought.

"So, who wants to watch a movie?" Alexa asked after about ten minutes of silence. "I suggest…"

"I HATE YOU! I HOPE YOU RELIZE THAT, MARCUS! WE ARE SO NOT EVER GOING TO BE TOGETHER!" Angela screamed as she entered the room and slammed the door.

"Hey, I'm bleeding from the ears here, Chewbacca… lets take the main down a tad Skid Row." Helena said covering her ears. "Not only did I here it loud and clear in your mind… I had it screamed in my ears."

"Lets watch Bride and Prejudice!" Alexa announced. "Its funny, romantic, based on a great book, and it has lots of music."

"Didn't we watch that about a month ago?" Esme stated as she sat down beside me.

"No, that was Pride and Prejudice… with Keira Knightly." Alexa reminded her.

"How about a Pirate of The Caribbean night?" I suggested. "We could watch…"

"How about ER! I have the latest release… season 2001 to 2002." Alice said after a moment. "Dr. Carter, Dr. Kovach, among others."

"Dr. Carter. Now he was cute." Esme said after a moment. "He was the cutest doctor I had ever seen."

There came a sudden knock at the door. Reia popped up to answer it while the rest of us just stared wide-eyed at Esme.

"Why hello Carlisle. How are you this lovely evening?" Reia said in a slightly sarcastic tone.

"Fine thank you for asking. Oh, Esme, darling, who is the cutest doctor you have ever laid eyes on?"

"You. I was referring to television doctors, my love, you have nothing to worry about."

"Oh. Well that's all right then. You ladies have fun then." He then left the room.

"Unless you count Dr. McDreamy on Grays Anatomy." Helena said after about three minutes had passed. Enough time to make sure he was out of earshot. Stifling a giggle.

"Dr. McDreamy!" they all squealed.

"Well, he's no Carlisle… or Edward for that matter." Regina said after a moment. "But he sure does surpass any human doctor I have ever seen."

"Is this going to be a chat night or a movie night?" Rosalie stated impatiently.

"Patience is a virtue." Esme scolded lightly.

"Alright, lets watch…" Alice deliberated. "The Notebook."

"No."

"How about Enough with Jennifer Lopez?" Raja suggested.

"No, brings back to many bad memories." Esme stated immediately.

"Could we make a choice?" Rosalie stated. "If we don't I will choose and you all have to deal with it."

"We are not watching Gentlemen Prefer Blondes again! That will be the fourth time in two months." I stated getting slowly agitated.

"Bella, what do you want to watch." Alice asked.

"Pirates of the Caribbean." I announced.

"Great! We have a movie!" Helena stated jumping up and grabbing the DVD. "Oh, wait, One or Two?"

"The first then the second, of course." I stated.

Edward POV

"So, what is the status of the girls?" Emmett asked the moment Carlisle entered the room.

"They were talking about the ER doctors."

"Your ER or the show?" Mark asked.

"The show."

"They have decided to watch the Pirates of the Caribbean. And they are all drooling over how cute Johnny Depp is… oh and Orlando Bloom."

"If I was a woman, I would so date Johnny Depp." Aro mumbled.

We all stared at him as if a huge bug was crawling on his face.

"Okay then." Jasper said after he entered the room. "How's Alice? Is she comfortable? Of course she's comfortable I can sense it…"

"Did anyone ever tell you that you worry to much?" Matthew asked as he read a newspaper.

"Frequently."

"Anyone up for a hunting trip?" Luke asked.

"Absolutely not! Not in their condition. That's why I have everything brought in to me… unless I am sent on a shopping trip." Why on earth would I leave my precious Alice alone here with those dogs in her condition?"

"Jasper is right. And they need at least one doctor here at all times." Carlisle said after a moment.

"Lets watch a movie." Emmett said looking around at all the guys. Like… Elf! Or Kicking and Screaming, Zoolander, or my personal favorite… The Notebook!

"Okay, so what do we have to choose from?" I asked walking over to one of the walls that was lined with DVDs. "I was like ten when that came out… and it sucked."

"How about…"

x-x-x

Alice POV

"Sorry I'm late, girls! There was a lot of traffic… okay, a wolf was in the middle of the road and he was so cute! So I had to go pet it! Now, I know what your thinking… isn't that dangerous…"

An hour later.

"…So anyways, what are we watching?"

"Pirates of the …" Bella started.

"Oh! I love this movie!"

"You know, I never thought her to be a talker…" Bella whisper so low that only Emily was unable to hear us."

"Ow." Concordia said after a minute.

"Cori, what happened?" Esme and Raja asked immediately.

"Nothing, I… I think I'm okay." She stammered quietly.

"I don't." Helena said standing up.

"Seriously I'm…owww… fine…"

"Sweetie, now I'm no expert at this, but I think you're about to go into labor." Esme said quickly. "Well, it may be a while till they come but still…"

"It's too soon." She wailed. "I'm not due until mid March… It's only the twelve of February."

"It's normal to have them early." Raja said. "I had Helena and her brother a month early. They surprisingly lived."

"NOT HELPING!" one collective voice yelled.

"One of you go get Carlisle, Edward, and Jason!" Esme said as she took control of the situation.

"Why Jason?" Omenzia asked puzzled. "I mean… yes, he is a doctor… but he's an idiot."

"Do the words 'He's a doctor' mean anything to you?" Concordia yelled. "I mean, I don't know if you've noticed… but I'M ABOUT TO POP! AND IT"S NOT LIKE THERES ONLY ONE IN THERE!!!"

"Alright!" Omenzia shouted.

"It's like you have never had a kid before." Raja said almost completely to herself.

Now those who are in the know… like… oh, I don't know… Bella, Rosalie, and I… know the story behind Raja's comment… oh wait… Bella doesn't know.

"What?" I don't know who said it.

"When Cori was about eighteen… and the world was a completely different place in 1806, but she was married to a man."

"I should hope so." Esme chimed.

"Me too." Concordia said.

"Let me finish." Raja said in an irritated tone. "Well, she was married to some guy named Tobias Blackwell, and lets just say he was… how do you say… mean. Now, about a year later she gave birth to a baby girl. She named her Ceres Proserpina Victoria Blackwell. A year later Tobias disappeared off the face of the earth. We have our suspicions that Matt had something to…"

"Matt did have something to do with it… He was sick of seeing me cry so he took matters into his own hands." Concordia stated.

"And then when the girl turned twenty years old, she disappeared with some low life… I believe his name was James. No one has seen her since… but at that point she was known as Victoria… but…"

"So it's your daughter that wants me dead… great!" Bella said as the door opened. "Oh, well. It's not like life could get any worse."

"When did this start?" Carlisle said coming into the room, his little black bag… Blackie… in tow.

"Oh, look, he brought his pet bag… Blackie!" Rosalie said laughing.

"Rose, we don't need the wise cracks now." Carlisle said as he took Cori's blood pressure. "I need everyone to vacate the room… except for Edward, Jason, Jacob, and Esme."

And we left.

Jacob POV

20 hours later.

"Boy, I swear to God that once I am done with this, you will be wishing you were never born." Concordia screamed.

"Breath." Edward ordered.

"Breath." Esme also ordered.

"Sweetie, your doing fine." I told her.

"Don't sweetie me." And then she screamed.

"Breath!"

x-x-x

Regina POV

"…I feel you creeping, I can see it from my shadow, wanna jump up in my Lamborghini Gallato, Maybe just go to my place and kick it like Tai Bo… and possibly bend you over… look back and watch me… smack that all on the floor, smack that give me some more, smack that till you get sore, smack that oh oh oh…" I looked up from the book I held in my hands and watched as Embry, Jared, and Emmett pretended to be Akon. There was absolutely no music playing so it was funny as they forgot words and pretended to "smack that".

"Revolting." Rosalie stated as she watched her husband make an absolute imbecile of himself.

"I couldn't agree more." Raja stated.

"Eight days a week… cause I… mmmmmmmhmmmmmmhmmmmmm" Bella was half singing, half humming to herself.

"Well, that's a nice touch." Billy said as he stared out the window. "Some rappers lyrics with the Beatles…"

"Are you ever not cynical… or is this you everyday?" Luke Lumberg asked.

"If we were not family, I would not be here." Billy said rolling away.

"Roll away from me… roll away." Luke laughed.

"What's funny about this entire thing with Cori is that she is having a litter. I mean… in werewolf terms that is what she is having." Mark said as he stared at the wall above my head.

"Considering she is only half vampire and he's a werewolf… was a werewolf… and now they will have to separate the four of them." Alice said. She leaned her head against Jaspers shoulder and sighed. "Who is going to take care of them… I mean… at least two of them are going to live with Billy, but what about the other two?"

"We have a year or two before we need to decide." Omenzia said as she leafed through a magazine.

"But it's better we figure this out now… I mean… I already know that Raja won't do it…" I said as I sat there. "Jase and Omenzia are never in one place at one time. And when they are… they're always all over each other. It's kind of gross… not going to lie! I wouldn't subject children to that. Now, we do have the three old men over there…" I tilted my head towards the three old men of the Volturi. "…But I think Caius might accidentally eat one for breakfast. Truthfully, this leaves us with the Cullens… but which pair should get custody of the two little ones…"

"You can't just throw children into the hands of who ever you want." Rosalie said.

"Sweetie… I'm the queen. I can do what ever the hell I damn well please."

"I like my hair growth!" Alice said, apparently not paying attention to anything that was being said. "I mean… it's only been what… six, seven months and I have hair down to my shoulders… I mean… seriously I have had nothing to work with since the twenties… I love it!"

"You, apparently, were one of those people who could get a haircut and it grows out to it's starting length within a few weeks." I stated. "Now, back to the matter at… Alice and Jasper could have custody of the two little ones."

"What?" Jasper said immediately.

"It's just a suggestion… it's not like I would actually make you take on two more children when you have three already… or will have three."

"What about Carlisle and Esme?" Alice looked up at me. "Esme would love nothing more than to raise a child… and Carlisle would be a great father."

"He already is!" Emmett laughed as he stopped pretending to "smack that".

"How long has it been?" Billy asked rolling back into the room.

"Just about twenty-four hours. It could be another ten to twelve hours." I said.

"I know that… I have three myself." Billy spat.

"I know!"

x-x-x

ten hours later

Jacob POV

"Get away… all of you." Cori yelled.

"Cori, you're going to need to start pushing." Carlisle said after a few moments.

"No." she stated flatly.

"You have no choice, my love." I told her.

"You know, when I get out of these restraints you are a dead man."

"Don't worry, Jake, it's just the pain talking." Jason laughed.

"Actually, she really means every word she said." Edward said in a quiet voice.

x-x-x

Alice POV

A few hours later

"She's done!" I exclaimed.

"What?" Jasper asked.

At that moment, Jacob and Esme came down the stairs with four bundles of joy.

"Two boys, two girls." Jacob said happily. "These two," he nodded at the two he held. "Are Wilhelmina and Wolfgang. And those two," he nodded towards Esme. "Are Katrina and Luke."

"Oh! Their so cute!" Bella gasped.

"Don't say that to Edward." Esme said with a laugh.

"Oh, he'll get over it… in three months."

"True."

You can't just leave them… you just had them!

I can do whatever the hell I want.

Cori! You need to take care of your children… Jake, you too!

Sorry, but where she goes I go!

"That can't be good." I said aloud.

"What?" Jasper asked.

"They're going to leave within the next forty-eight hours."

"Who?" Jacob asked.

"You and Concordia. Only, the two of you are leaving the babies." I explained.

The room was quiet and it remained that way until Concordia came down.

"I'm going back to Italy."
