EPOV:

It seemed like an eternity had passed waiting for the doctors to examine Bella. Alice had arrived with Ali, Mary Belle, J.J. and Jasper. Then, came Carlisle and Esme. Lastly, was Rosalie and Emmett. It took them a little longer to get Lilie Rose dressed. Yes, Rosalie and Emmett finally added their own baby to the Cullen clan. Lilie Rose was only 4 months old. She was the cutest baby, not cuter than my own children, of course. Rosalie already had her doing baby commercials for Gerber. She felt so guilty throughout her pregnancy being so happy on one had and sad on the other. However, her pregnancy gave the family something to be excited about again.

When Rosalie walked in she rushed over and gave me a bone-crushing hug. "You've been hanging around Emmett far too long" I told her.

"Aw, Edward, I'm just so happy. Lilie's happy too. She can't wait to meet her Aunt Bella"

As she was finishing that statement the team of doctors and Angela walked out. Dr. Calligan came up to me. "Ms. Cullen looks fine. All of her vital signs are good. It will take some practice for her to walk and move around again for being immobile so long. But with the physical therapy Ben has been doing with her daily, her muscles should still be strong. She will be ready to go home in a few days. We just want to keep an eye on her and get her back on a healthy diet as she become re-accustomed to solid food again."

She turned to look at the entire family. "I know you all are so excited to see Bella, but lets not overwhelm her or get her too excited. You all can stay for an hour or so, but then let her rest. She'll be home soon"

I responded: "Thanks, Dr. Calligan, for everything these past 2 years. I really appreciate everything you've done for me and my family"

"No problem, now go and see your wife"

Before I could take 1 step, Alice was rushing through the door so we all followed her.

"Bella, Bella, I've missed you so much. I have so much to tell you. Oh, Bella, I love you, don't you ever leave me again" she stated excitedly as she planted kisses all over Bella's face.

"I'm glad to see you Alice and I love you too" my wife responded with a smile.

Then, Rosalie walked over to her holding Lilie Rose. Tears began to fall down her face.

"Oh, Rosie, I can't believe I missed you finally having a baby"

"It's o.k. Bells, we'll have another one just for you"

As Rosalie stated that, Emmett began to choke and cough and the whole family laughed.

Bella took her time hugging each of her nieces and nephews. No one did much talking after that. We just all were content in a comfortable silence being with each other. Our family felt whole again. Too soon, visiting hours were over. However, I didn't want to leave Bella's side. Alice, the all-knowing, much have sensed my tension and agreed to take our children over to her house for a sleepover and bring them back in the morning. Bella didn't want the children to leave, but reluctantly agreed that she needed to rest and recuperate. Everyone hugged and kissed goodbye. Once everyone left, I climbed into the bed with my wife and held her close to me. She sighed and said "I love you"

I responded: "I love you too, Isabella, always! Thank you for coming back to me" as I kissed every inch of her face and hands. She smiled and sighed in contentment. All I could think was I am the luckiest man alive.

Edward was showering me with kisses telling me how much he loved me. I felt so happy in that moment. Then, all of a sudden, I felt a sense of panic and grief. I knew Edward wouldn't give me any information, so when the doctor's were in, I asked them how long I had been in the coma. I couldn't believe it had been 2 years. I missed 2 years with my husband, my children, my brothers/sisters, my mom and dad. Wow, I wonder if Edward called my parents. Oh, I'll ask him tomorrow. I have so much to think about now. Even though it felt peaceful having Edward stroke my hair and trickle kisses along my neck, I still felt uneasy. How would I make up that time to my loved ones? Will my children resent me? I had to remind myself to breathe. I wasn't ready to discuss these things with Edward yet. I just wanted to have him hold me. So eventually, my thoughts subsided and I drifted into a peaceful sleep.

APOV:

Wow. Bella's back. I agreed to bring my nieces and nephews to my house for a sleepover. It wasn't that far of a drive. We all lived on Cullen Drive. Carlisle and Esme had the main house that we all grew up in. We owned so much land, that we all build our houses about a little less than ¼ of a mile apart from one another. We all wanted to be close, and have our children grow up together, but at the same time, we wanted our individual homes. Esme designed all of our homes to fit our specific tastes. She was a genius. I am grateful that all the children have emergency bags at all the houses equipped with the necessities for an overnight stay. I knew that Nessie and Ali would be up all night talking about the events of today. Those too were sooooooo close. They reminded me so much of me and Bella. They were only about a year apart, and since, Bella and I were inseparable, so were they. Marie Claire and Mary Belle were pretty close too. They were just so different. Marie Claire was such a little tom boy. On the other hand, Mary Belle was such a princess. My little 5 year old was the best dressed girl in Kindergarten. Anthony and J.J. always fought. They were boys and boys will be boys. But, they always wanted to be around each other. All you could do is shake your head at them. The twins always played together and they were definitely in that "terrible 2s phase"

I smiled thinking; Bella will have her hands full with 5 children when she gets home. But, I knew she could handle it. Bella was such a good mother. She always knew the answer for every little question or concern. She was just born to me a wife and mom. It was definitely inate. She had a way of even calming my kids when I couldn't. I missed her advice so much over the past 2 years. Rosie missed it too. We missed not having her here during Rosie's pregnancy. Uhhh, I have to stop thinking about that. She is here now and boy are we going to make the best of it. I can't wait to take a family vacation. We all need it and all the children have been begging to go to Disney World. I will talk to Edward about it in a few weeks. Back to kids, little Lilie Rose was just the apple of everyone's eyes. She was so spoiled being the baby of the Cullen Clan. She was always in someone's arms.

Once the kids were bathe and fed, I tucked all 8 of them into bed. Then I showered and went to lay in bed with my husband who was waiting with open arms.

"Are all the kids sleep?" he asked.

"The younger kids are, but you know Ness and Ali, they will be up talking"

"Yeah, today has been an eventful day. It feels so good to have Bella back. I could just feel the happiness exuding from Edward and the entire family"

"Oh, Jazzy, Edward was so strong throughout this. I'm proud of him. Bella was his rock, our rock, but he didn't fall apart."

"I think he always wanted Bella to be proud of him. He put being a father first and that is beyond admirable. Of course we all helped, but he really raised 5 kids alone. I don't know if I would have that strength if I were in that position. Alice, baby, I would fall apart without you"

"And I, without you, Jazzy."

Then Jazz began to sofly kiss from my earlobes down my neck. I moaned as the sensation went down my body to my soft core. He gently slid his hands into my panties and began to rub my clit while sucking my neck. I was panting wanting more. Then we heard a knock on the door. Oh, the joys of having children, we quickly adjusted ourselves.

"Come in" I stated more frustrated than ever.

"Mama, Marie Claire is crying. She wants Auntie Bella" my daughter Mary Belle said.

"I'll be right there"

From that moment, I knew Jazzy and I wouldn't be making love tonight. I left to go comfort my niece. I wasn't said for too long because I knew I would be seeing Bella tomorrow. That thought brought back my perkiness just as quickly as it left.

A/N: check back next week for an update…………..
