Ouch,
ouch, ouch, ouch, OUCH!
"Edward" I whimpered while clutching at the sides of my
stomach. He didn't move and the pain dulled slightly until it
finally; slipt into nothing. My rigid body relaxed and I settled in
to fall back asleep when suddenly the pain erupted again. Only worse.
I let out a loud cry and then I felt the bed shift beside me.
"Oh
god" he whispered and that was the moment I realised the bed was
wet.
"I think my water broke" I said in a pant whilst fighting
the urge to scream again. With that, his eyes set to panic mode and
he rushed out of the bed and to the closet where he pulled out my
suitcase. We'd packed most of It; but I wasn't due for another
week. Finally, the knife stopped hacking at my stomach and I let out
a shaky breath.
"We have to get you to the hospital" he
whispered.
"Oka-" I was cut off by my own screams. Suddenly
the light flicked on and Alice was standing in the door way with a
small bad full of clothes.
"What are those Alice?" Edward
asked hurriedly.
"They're for the babies. They're yellow, so
they are neutral" she said and then quickly ran to take my hand. It
look slightly odd seeing a pregnant Alice running but that thought
was only interrupted by another bout of sharp knives. One of them
jabbed just under my stomach and I howled in agony. Were contractions
meant to feel like knives? Ii didn't have time to think about it
because this one was dragging out.
"Edward, she's not going to
last until the hospital" Jasper said in a hurried whisper and I
noticed Edward staring wide eyes at me.
"What?" I asked in a
gasp.
"Push a little more" he said and I nodded quickly. I
pushed as hard as I could and I felt like my whole body was being
ripped apart from the centre. Suddenly, Edward's face broke into a
breathtaking smile. He rushed over and positioned himself between my
legs.
"I see a head" he whispered and my heart thudded
erratically.
"Come on Bella, push" Rosalie said sternly,
taking my other hand. I did as they told me but it felt like my head
was about to explode from the pressure.
"I… can't" I
whispered breathlessly.
"Yes you can, come on Bells" I heard a
voice that I'd longed to hear for a year. It was my fathers voice.
I whimpered but nodded and suddenly, my mum and dad were there, and
so was Zach.
"You can do this Bewwa. You're gonna be a good
mama" Zach said in all his wide-eyed-innocence. I burst into tears
but continued pushing.
"It hurts" I whimpered and suddenly I
saw my mum stroking my hair; but it broke my heart that I couldn't
feel it.
"Bella, I'm so proud of you. You can do this honey.
You have two little babies depending on you" she said soothingly
and suddenly, I heard a cry. It was the sweetest cry in the world;
because it meant I was a mummy. Then, the pain came back.
"Jasper,
take her" Edward said and my heart swelled. I
have a baby girl.
"Got her" Jasper nodded quickly and then Emmett came into the
room, rubbing his eyes with the backs of his hands.
"Wha…
Whoa, is that a baby?" he asked, pointing at Jasper, wide
eyed.
"Not the time Emmett" Rosalie huffed and turned back to
me.
"You're doing great honey" she whispered and wiped the
sheen of sweat of my forehead. Suddenly, the knives rippled through
my entire body and I howled in agony again. And then, the pain was
gone. And I went weak against the bed.
"My son" Edward choked
happily and I looked up weakly to see his glowing with fatherly love.
Zach smiled and touched the babies' hands, my mum stroked my cheek
and kissed each of the babies foreheads, and my dad kissed my
forehead and placed a firm hand on Edward's shoulder. Edward
glanced at his shoulder in surprise as if he felt something.
"Take
care of my little girl and my grandkids alright?" Dad said. And
then, they were gone.
Again.
"Well,
that was an experience" Alice murmured and I chuckled
breathlessly.
"You're telling me". That had been the hardest
twelve hours of my life.
Four
Years Later
"Happy
Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday Zac and Carly,
happy birthday to you" we sang and the twins blew out the candles
on each of their cakes. Yes, each
of their cakes.
"Daddy, I want to be four too" Katie
pouted.
"You will in five months princess" Jasper said
soothingly to his daughter. It was incredible how much everyone had
matured over the past four years Even Emmett. Emmett came through the
door then with a big box.
"What's in the box Emmett?" I
asked, truly curious.
"Pie!" he beamed happily. Well, I
thought
he'd matured as well.
"Daddy!" Could be heard and suddenly
Emmett dropped the pie. Rose came running out after her daughter.
"Sarah" she sighed just as Sarah jumped into Emmett's arms;
causing Emmett to drop the pie.
"Sarah…" Emmett whined. "You
made me drop my pie" I said with a pout and Sarah giggled.
"Has
anyone else noticed how unfair it is on Zac?" Edward asked suddenly
and Zac smiled a blue, icing smile.
"Meaning?" I murmured
incredulously.
"He is the only boy out of the kids" Edward
explained and I was about to nod when Rose smiled.
"That could
be different" she smiled.
"You're not…?" I trailed of
suggestively.
"I am" she squealed and I squealed along with
her. I jumped up and down with her and as we turned around we noticed
Alice gaping at Rose.
"What?" Rose asked, examining herself to
see if anything was wrong.
"While Sarah was in
the house?" Alice whispered, mouth agape. I burst out laughing at
that.
"Yeah, all the time" Emmett said proudly and we all
stared at him and Rose walked over and smacked his head.
"Ouch"
he murmured, rubbing it. Meanwhile Sarah was in hysterics. Suddenly,
she hit the other side of his head.
"Owie" he mumbled and put
Sarah down, then she ran to Rose.
"Did I do good Mama?" She
asked. Three year olds can be so adorable.
"Yes honey, you did
very good". I smiled as I looked on at our happy family.
"Mama?"
I was bought of out my stupor by a hand resting on my leg.
"Yes
honey?" I asked, moving the hair out of his eyes. The bronze mess
was disobedient, just like his fathers'.
"What was Grandpa
like?" he asked. I'd never explained the whole thing to the twins
yet.
"He was the best Daddy in the world for me" I smiled.
Zac smiled brightly.
"What was my uncle like?" he asked and my
heart thudded painfully.
"He was the best brother. He was only
six when he died, and I miss him lots. His name was Zach too you
know" I smiled and my son beamed up at me.
"Really?" he
asked happily and I nodded while fighting back the tears that were
begging to escape.
"I love you Mummy" Zac said and he hugged
my stomach. He was too short to reach anything else, even while I was
sitting down.
"I love you too honey" I said while rubbing his
back. He pulled back and smiled before running to play soccer with
Emmett.
"Emmett, don't hurt him" I scolded and he nodded
sheepishly.
"I won't" he smiled. All the boys went to play
and Edward promised to watch out for Zac. He then gave me a chaste
kiss. As us girl sat back and watched our men play we sighed.
"Life
is perfect" Alice smiled and I chuckled.
"It can be" I
countered and she shrugged while nodding.
"Mama?" Sarah
said.
"Yes my Angel?" Rose smiled.
"Why is Daddy such a
goof ball?" she asked innocently and despite her better judgement,
Rosalie burst into a roar of laughter.
"Mama?" I turned to
Carly.
"Yes sweety?" I asked.
"What's wrong with Aunty
Rosie?" she asked with wide eyes.
"Your cousin is very funny"
I smiled while chuckling slightly.
"Oh Honey. Daddy was born
that way" Rosalie said when she finished laughing. She had tear
streaks down her face and she was clutching her stomach whilst
gasping for air.
"I hope the knew baby isn't a goofball like
Daddy" Sarah mumbled and Rose giggled quietly.
"Even more goof
to love Honey" she said and sat back in her chair.
Suddenly,
there was a cry of victory. We all turned to see Zac sitting on
Emmett. I stood up and clapped.
"Go baby!" I cried while
laughing and clapping. Edward chuckled and jogged over to
me.
"Where's my applause? I helped him" Edward pouted and
chuckled. I took his face in my hands and kissed him sweetly.
"There
it is" I smiled once we broke apart.
"Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww"
I turned and saw Zac and Carly staring at us. Both their faces were
contorted into masks of horror.
"What?" Edward chuckled.
"You
kissing is yucky" Carly mumbled and I bit my lip to try and hide my
smile.
"Okay, time for a nap" I announced and Zac
groaned.
"Can't we stay up for a little while Mama?" He
groaned.
"Sure" Edward said just as I was about to object. I
turned to glare at him but his face held mischief, I caught on
quickly. I mouthed 'oh' and he smiled devilishly.
"We'll
just be kissing anyway" Edward mumbled and kissed me.
"Hey, a
nap sounds good" Carly said quickly and she and Zac bolted into the
house. I chuckled as the other kids followed.
It was hard to b upset now, because everything was blissfully perfect.
THE
END!!!! Hope it was a good ending.. Can you believe it was a happy
one!?
