Edward's POV
Bella is now five months pregnant and it's time for her monthly doctor appointment. Today is really important because we can finally find out if we're having a boy or a girl but Bella is being stubborn and refusing to find out what sex the baby is. Everybody has noticed how much weight Bella's put on in the last two months but nobody says anything to her about it but I just think the baby maybe be on the big side. Women have babies that are up to thirteen pounds. Yeah, thirteen pounds all I can say is…ouch!
On the positive side Bella's tits have become fuller and bigger causing her to go up to at least one cup size and the baby is kicking and always moving inside Bella's stomach. Words cannot express what it feels like to feel your son or daughter kick your hand while they're inside their mother's belly. All this just makes Bella look more beautiful to me and to love her more. And let's not forget the sex. Who knew how being pregnant would turn Bella into a horny little vixen. Not that I'm complaining just the opposite. I am very, very happy.
While we're in the doctor's office waiting for the doctor to come in we're still arguing over whether we want to know the sex of the baby.
"I mean it Edward. I want it to be a surprised." Bella says giving me that look that says drop it or you'll not be getting any for a while
"Ok." I say knowing when to shut up and drop things.
The doctor comes in and eventually does the ultrasound. He stops for a second and looks at us.
"So do you two want to know the sex?" The doctor asks us and me and Bella look at each other
"no we want it to be a surprise" Bella replies and he nods his head and continues the ultra sound
"Well from the looks of it, I can tell you that you two are having twins" The doctor says and Bella looks like she's going to pass out
"What?" She says as she tries to look at the screen
"They both appear to be doing fine. Very healthy" the doctor says but I notice that he isn't letting us get a good look at the screen
"Is something wrong? Why won't you let us get a good look at the screen?" I ask fear and concern for my kids taking over
"Sorry. It's just that you said that you didn't want to know the sex of the babies and well if you get a closer look than you can see what sex they are without a doubt" The doctor explain and told us that he printed off copies of the sonogram and placed them into two envelopes and handed us the envelopes before we left. He said that way if we ended up changing our mind that we could see for ourselves.
Once we got home all I could think about was we're having twins and those envelopes and wanting to know what sex the babies are. But I know Bella too well to know that she isn't going to cave anytime soon.
"So how did things go at the doctor?" Alice asks us after we walked in the house and sat down on the couch in the living room where the family was waiting for us.
"We're having twins" I blurted out
"Yes. Twice the shopping" Alice said clapping her hands together with glee
"Boys? Girls? Or one boy and One girl?" Jasper ask and Bella shot him a dirty look as he took the envelope out of my hands and was fixing to open it
"Open that envelope Whitlock and I'll make sure you will never have kids" Bella said giving Jasper what I call the scary pregnant woman look
Jasper closed the envelope and handed it back to me with a scared look on his face
"We want it to be a surprised" Bella responded looking at everyone in the room and waiting to see if someone would try to challenge her
"but it would be so much easier to buy things for the babies if we knew what sex they were" Alice said trying to talk Bella into changing her mind
"the answer is still the same. No. It is going to be a surprise. It's going to be a surprise for me and for everyone in this house and that includes you Jasper. Is that understood?" Bella ask standing up and putting her hands on her hips and glaring at everyone
We all nod our head yes and wait for her to disappear into the kitchen.
"that Bella is scary" Jasper said
"it's her hormones. Poor dear and it's worst since she's carrying twins" Mom said before going into the kitchen
"She'll cave before the day is over, son. " Dad said smiling at me
"How do you know that?" I ask
"Your mom did the same thing with all three of you kids. Before midnight she begged me to open the envelope and tell her what the baby was. It was driving her crazy too" Dad explained and I sighed
"let's hope I can wait until tonight" I said as my dad, Alice, Jasper and me walked into the kitchen to have dinner
