Chapter 3

CPOV

They're gone. Esme and Edward are dead. That's all that kept going round my head. Edward, Esme. Gone. When it was over we ran back to the house in tears. I just sat on a couch and sobbed the loss of our family members. I distantly heard Alice call Bella and ask her to come home.

Was it a home now we have lost two members of our family? My son... my sister.

I heard the purr of Bella's new truck. She was speeding, a rare for her. She pulled over and ran into the house. She looked around frantically and when she did not find him here she fell to the floor crying. I walked up to her gingerly and wrapped my arms around her shaking form.

'Bella please don't cry Edward would not want you to get so distressed it's bad for the babies' Bella sobbed more at the sound of her loves name.

'Who else?' Bella asked so quietly that even I struggled to hear her.

'Esme' I choked out. 'He tried to save her but the newborn got them both. He had a power to bend fire. He set them both on fire instantly. They hopefully didn't feel any pain.' I held onto Bella and we sobbed together. Alice told us she had called Charlie and told him Bella was ill and would be better off here until after the birth so I can keep an eye on her. Bella was still sobbing nonstop so I looked pleadingly at jasper. He looked as bad as me, Bella and the whole family put together- I suppose he did have to feel all our guilt and pain- jasper nodded and sent a wave of lethargy toward Bella. She fell asleep in my arms. I carried her upstairs and placed her in the bed in the spare room doubting she'd want to go into Edward's room just yet.

I was by the door when I heard a quiet 'don't leave' so I stayed I went into my office got my journal and sat by the window and started to write.

BPOV

He's gone. The farther of my children is dead. I sobbed endlessly in Carlisle's arms until I fell asleep. I felt him pick me up and carry me to a bed, I prayed it wasn't Edwards but just in case it was I asked Carlisle to stay. I felt more at ease with him here. I fell into a deep sleep.

Dream: I was walking through the woods when I suddenly felt a sharp twinge in my stomach. It faded but came back with vengeance only seconds later. I tried to walk and I managed a few steps when I heard a popping sound followed by a rush of water down my legs. I called for Edward but he didn't come instead Carlisle showed up and kissed my cheek telling me he loved me. I replied the same – wait what! I love I'm in love with Carlisle Edwards only just died. And how could I forget Esme how could I betray Esme and Edward like this. : End of dream.

I awoke to find Carlisle beside me in bed. 'Bella, are you ok? Your dream seemed quite confusing.'

'Edward, Esme what about them?' I sobbed

'What do you mean?' Carlisle asked.

'Carlisle I thought that when you lose your mate isn't your life supposed to be void of emotion? Like Marcus?' I said confused.

'I suppose if they're not you're real mate you can move on' Carlisle said shocking me.

'But you and Esme were married.' I accused.

'Yes Bella we were but after we left town after your 18th the whole family drifted apart. Including me and Esme. We were fighting endlessly and found we did not love each other as we used to so we decided to get a divorce. Me and Esme were still close like brother and sister so we decided to keep up appearances'

'Oh! But I still don't understand why my world hasn't fallen apart. I am pregnant with his twins surely he was my soul mate?' I asked almost hyperventilating. I willed myself to calm down for the babies sakes.

'Bella I will explain if you can promise me you'll stay calm.' Carlisle said. I nodded and he continued. 'Bella how do you feel when you're with me?' Carlisle asked.

'At home, happy and loved.' I answered shocking myself with the answer

'Bella how do you feel when I kiss your forehead and hug you?' he asked I shocked myself again

'in love' I blurted out. Carlisle smiled and leaned forward and kissed me sweetly.

'Bella, the babies are mine not Edwards. We are true mates and because you got pregnant with another man's children the magic of "mating" knew this and gave them my D.N.A so they will look like me and you not Edward. I know it's a lot to take in but it's true. I love you and I promise to be a good father to our children.' I can't believe I think this but I actually believe him. I felt this strange pull to him and it hurt to be away from him.

'Carlisle how do you know this? Is there even any proof?' I asked hesitantly.

'Bella you forget I spent the best part of a century with the Volturi, and in that time I have seen and heard so many things. But I have only heard of this once before. She was called Georgina and she had cheated on her mate with another vampire, she became pregnant and when she gave birth the baby looked the same as Georgina's mate.' Carlisle said.

'So you're not lying?' I said apprehensively

'Bella darling I love you too much to lie to you.' Carlisle pleaded with me to believe him.

'Ok. I believe you, I will give you a chance. Just don't let me down.' I said. 'I won't, i promise.'

=I time shift I=

That was a month ago. Me and Carlisle were enjoying the rest of my pregnancy in a bubble of happiness. I was now seven months pregnant and Carlisle had put me on bed rest. He said that because I was pregnant with twins they were more likely to be born sooner than normal, especially since they're part vampire.

'Carlisle?' I called asking him to come to me. He appeared seconds later.

'What's up Bella?' Carlisle asked.

'Nothing I was just wanted some company' I answered and Carlisle sat on the bed pulling me in for a cuddle. 'Carlisle? Um, I was wondering after the babies are born would we be able to move town? I was thinking maybe Chicago' I asked. I knew Carlisle had not been back to Chicago in the good hundred plus years since he had changed Edward.

'Sure Bella that's a great plan we could try and find out some more about Edwards heritage and family.' Wow he actually agreed it would be a good plan. I thought it would be one sided.

'Carlisle when we do move, no matter where it be can I change my age? After all I am pregnant and with a supposed 27 year old twins and yet I am only 19' I explained. I was hormonal and self-conscious and being called a slut would not be a good thing.

'Sure Bella how about 23. Then you'd be old enough to drink and rent cars in some places so you have the privileges of an adult. And you'd be my human age too' Carlisle said. As per usual he had hit the nail on the head.

'That's perfect Carlisle I could have finished college by then too so i won't be frowned upon for ruining my college education.'

Suddenly a high pitched squeal hit our ears. 'Bella, Bella you have to come see this we finally finished the nursery.' Alice called to us. Carlisle got up and gently pulled me up with him. And walked us to the spare room between Carlisle's and my room. And then all light was gone the evil pixie had me blind folded.

Carlisle led me through the door and shut it behind us. The light was back and I could hardly hold in my gasp of surprise. It was gorgeous it was painted in light greens and yellows. It had two white sleigh bed cots side by side and on the opposite wall there was a matching changing table (with extra storage underneath for nappies and such), two dressers (full of beautiful clothes for both boys and girls), and baby accessories scattered around the room and to top it off in the corner of the room by the window there is my old rocking chair which had been restored and painted an off white colour.

It was so wonderful they had done all this for me. I started crying though I had no idea why.

'Bella don't cry, if you don't like it we can always redecorate. Right guys.' Emmett said trying to cheer me up. Suddenly the tears stopped and i felt extremely angry. Jasper growled with my sudden change of emotions.

'Are you guys crazy. Why the hell would you want to redecorate this room, again? It's amazing and i can't thank you enough and now you want to go changing it!' i shouted at Emmett making him shift backwards in shock. 'Oh my god Emi m so sorry I didn't mean to shout.' I said tearful again. 'What's wrong with me? I hate feeling like this. All I wanted to say was thanks.' I continued and my beloved Carlisle comforted me.

'Don't worry darling, they know you're just a bit emotional right now with the babies and everything. We love you anyway. And Bella there's no need to thank us after all they're my babies too.' The others had been out during our little revelation and they all gasped in shock.

AN: The next chapter is still in progress I'm hoping for it to be done within the next month.
