A/N: HAPPY CHISRTMAS

CHAPTER 8

Bella POV

Where was Carlie? It's been six hours since she left. Nathan said to leave her till it gets dark. She be back before it gets dark and to trust him. It was an hour before dark and she was still not back. Anthony was in big trouble for what he did. I think he actually hurt Carlie when he grabbed her wrist. I was about to go look for Carlie when there was a knock on the door. I ran to the door and opened it. There stud with his messy bronze hair and golden eyes. Holding my daughter, our daughter. Was Edward. He had stunned look on his face. My face probably mirrored his. "Edward. What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Bringing back this little one back. What about you?" he asked.

"I live here Edward."

"I Love you. I can't believe I was, am, such an idiot for leaving you will you take me back?" He still loves me. Of course I'm going to take him back. I can't believe that he "I understand if you tell me to get lost. I'm accepting." I looked at Edward.

"I love you too silly. We've got a lot to talk about. First I should take Carlie to bed." I started to walk upstairs, Edward was following. When I saw Anthony at the top of the stairs, he was grounded. "YOU IN THERE NOW. WE TOLD YOU NOT TO COME OUT OF THAT ROOM TODAY! You better be looking for a replacement."

"It's only a piano" Anthony said.

"A piano you broke." I turned around to look at Edward and soke my head. He looked surprised. We walked in to Carlie's and Nessie's room I could hear Nessie muttering to herself in the bathroom. I motioned for Edward to put Carlie on the lower bed even though that was Nessie's. I took of her shoe. Edward went in the hall and I changed her into her PJs. I tucked her in and kissed the top of her head.

Edward was waiting in the hall for me. I dragged him across the hall to my room.

"We have to talk." I told him.

"We do but first I want to do something." he cradled my face with one hand; the other pulled me to him. We kissed like we never kissed before. I felt his tongue trace my lips wanting to enter and reached up to my top and trying to pull it over my head. I pulled away, for the first time I had to pull away. It had felt like our first kiss, it was different more powerful he was not holding back. It was our first kiss in over two years. I pulled away because I needed to ask him something, that had been bugging me.

"I need to ask you something." I said.

"Yes, go on then. Ask away."

"You know that night?" he nodded "well was I really just another girl. Was I not your first? Where you lying when you said you didn't love me as much as you used to?"

"Bella I was lying when I said all of those things to you. I love you more very day. You where my first and always my only. No other girl will be for me. I told you those things to help make you forget me easier." I smiled at him. He leaned in and kissed me. Again I pulled away "what's up?"

"We need to talk about something important." I had to tell him about our children.

"What's more important than our love?" His face was surprised and a little confused.

"What our love made. Our kids."

Edward POV

Bella pulled away from my passionate kiss. In all of the time I was with her I can't remember her ever doing that and I remember everything in this life as I am a vampire and like elephants vampires don't tend to forget things. She said "We need to talk about something important." Me being the idiot I am, just said,

"What's more important than our love?" of course she still would want answers, why shouldn't she. If I was her I wouldn't let me kiss her before I got answers,

"What our love made. Our kids." My mouth fell open. I forgot to breath. Children but how?

"No way. It's impossible. I am a vampire. Vampires cannot reproduce." Had Bella gone nuts in my absence? The answer to that's was yes and it was my entire fault for leaving her. I just stared at her, like a moron. She looked like she was going to cry, but no tears came because she is a vampire.

"It's true that we thought that, but we were wrong. Edward, we were wrong. No normal person would have considered it possible. But it was possible and we have three beautiful children to prove it."

"WHAT! Three children?" I believed every word that she had said as Bella was awful at lying, but it was a large surprise that I had become a father overnight.

"Yes. Edward triplets. A boy and two girls." I'm a dad. Maybe I was crazy. Oh well, if this was crazy I'm not going to complain. Vampires are crazy.

"Really? Wow I'm a dad. That's a shocked. Can I meet them?" I really wanted to meet my children.

"You've sort of already met one of them." I looked confusedly at Bella's beautiful face. "Carlie's your daughter."

"How she looks about six and it's been two years?"

"Vampire, human highbrids grow faster than full humans. The pregnancy just took a few days less than a month." She explained what had happened and how her life was. I was upset that it had nearly killed her and that I hadn't been there to help her through it. "So are you ready to meet the other two. I'm going to warn you that Anthony isn't in the best of moods, but then again he never is. He is a lot like Rosalie in that."

"Oh okay, thanks for warning me," we walked down stairs in to the living room where a girl sat channel surfing. She had the same colour hair as me; it fell in ringlets to her waste she looked about six.

"Nessie where is Matt, Nathan and Jake?" Bella asked her.

"Out and no I don't know where maybe hunting." She answered while turning around. She gave me a big grin.

"Nessie I want you to meet Edward. He's your dad." She ran other to me and gave my waste a big hug. I picked her up and she put her arms around my neck. In her thoughts I could tell she accepted me and loved me as soon as she herd her mum tell her.

"Where have you been daddy?" she asked me. She was so cute and I knew that she was mien and Bella's daughter. She had my hair and Bella's human eyes. I knew she wasn't human as she smelt less delicious but she wasn't a vampire as I could hear her heart beating like a humming bird.

Bella POV

Edward looked at Nessie, with a look on this face that was utter love. He could tell every word I said was the truth. All I could do was hope that Anthony and Carlie would react in the same way that Nessie did. It was hard to see that Anthony would, as he was extremely moody at times (that was most of the time in fact) and he was in one of his worse moods today. Carlie was less predictable then the both a them, so I don't know. Edward was talking to Nessie about stuff. We decided to tell Carlie and Anthony about Edward being there dad in the morning. Reasons being that I was still angry at Anthony and Carlie was still knocked out from the morphine Carlisle gave her. We tucked Neisse in. I checked on Carlie; she was so still it was like she dead apart from the small movement of her chest when she breathed.

When we went out in the hall, a ringing noise came from Edward's pocket. He took out an iPhone out of his pocket and moaned. "Why can't that evil little pixie leave me alone?"

"What is it Alice?" he nodded and I started to bounce up and down like a hyperactive, over excited toddler. "Answer it Edward. Oh and put it on speakerphone."

"Okay love just calm down a little." He answered the phone and put it on speaker. "What Alice?"

"Edward I saw you and Bella together and she's a vampire. She'll forgive you for leaving her and you're going to be happy. A happy family. Oh my. A literal family with kids and a dog." Bella let out a giggle and I looked at her confused she just shook her head. "Holy mother of skittles, your with her now aren't you and the phone is on speaker. OMG Bella I'm so sorry I left without saying good bye. I'm on my way to see you." Alice's voice sang.

"Please Alice don't." Edward muttered. Why was Edward being like that? He knew I wanted to see my best friend. I hadn't seen her in over two years.

"To late Edward I'm already on my way. In fact I'm only a minute and a half away at the longest. You two can have your alone time," you could hear the quotation marks in her voice when she said 'alone time'. It made sense why Edward was annoyed at Alice. In fact I was a little angry now at her as Edward and I could be doing anything right no. But we're not because Alice had stopped us. "Anytime. You do have forever. See you in a minute."

The phone cut of then and Edward shoved the phone into his back pocket. He looked into my eyes and traced my jaw bone with the tips of his fingers. He pulled me close to him in to a kiss. The kiss was a lot harder than before. It was like we had never done this before. In fact we had never had kissed just like this before. We could have kissed forever like this. We would have if it wasn't for a light knock at the back door. I pulled away and ran down the stairs, through the kitchen and opened the back door open. Just to me met by a big bear hug of a small, pixie like, vampire.

"I've missed you sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much Bella." Alice said to me.

"I've missed you too Alice." I laughed and hugged her back.

"Can I come in?" She asked me.

"Oh. Yes of course. Come right on in then." I jested for her to come in with my hand. She walked, no danced, in to the living room. She sat down on the large corner sofa. I sat with her then Edward sat down next to me and put his arm around my shoulders. It was nice to sit like this again.

"Bella?" Alice said my name like it was a question.

"What is it Alice?" I asked,

"Well Bella I've been having strange visions of you." I nodded. "They started about two days after we left. It was so unreal that I didn't believe it, so I didn't tell anyone about it. The vision was of a male vampire well more of a boy he couldn't have been any older than 15 when he was changed. He was handing you two babies and you were already holding one, then everything went black and the next thing I see is the vampire biting you and the babies had gone. After a few seconds the vampire just collapsed on the floor." She had just briefly described the birth of my children. "What was even more weird was it was like I was looking at the scene through a window that was a bit mucky compered to my normal in the room experience. After that vision I've had twenty or so visions of these three children, but never quite caching their names or seeing their faces. It was like they were in black and white or something. The only thing I could tell about them was they grew very fast and they were always with you."

My mouth fell open, she saw was correct. "Alice everything you saw was and is true. All of it." I told her. She shook her head.

"Don't be silly Bella. I saw that they were Edward's children and that's impossible," the look on my face must have confinced her that I was telling her was nothing but the truth, "Oh my Bella you have to explain everything to me. I know you haven't explained everything to Edward and he wants to know." I nodded and explained every little detail to them. Of course they had questions and I answered them the best I could. They believed every word I said as they knew how rubbish a liar I was. I hope the rest of the Cullens took the news as well as Alice and Edward did, but things couldn't be that simple. Could it? I still had to tell Carlie and Anthony about Edward being there dad.

Alice left about midnight so Edward and I had some free time till the kids wake up, so we went to my bedroom. We heard Nathan, Matt and Jake come in about two, but we were to preoccupied so we ignored them. It felt so good to be back in his arms. It felt natural and correct to be kissing his lips again and being in his arms.
