I started to get ready for Edwards "big" day, but since he's had so many its really not that big. I didn't even really try. I mean I put on a dress, some makeup, and then my shoes with a struggle of course! Then I felt bad, really bad. I had cramped so bad, and then I had a realization that my water had broke!

"Reaser, help, help!"

I held my stomach as I dropped to the floor because my legs gave out. Reaser rushed right into the room. Reaser knew my water had broke, because I was in so much pain, and she too had gone through pregnancy multiple times.

"Let me help you honey, we can get you into the car."

"Elizabeth, Bella's water broke, I'm taking her into the emergency room," yelled Reaser.

"Reaser, I will take Bella, you just go to the wedding make sure everything goes smoothly."

"Will do Elizabeth."

I said my goodbyes to the children and then Elizabeth helped me into the car. It would take about an hour to get to the hospital. We rode in the car for a while until I asked Liz a question.

"Liz?"

"Yes Bella?"

"How did you do it?"

"Do what honey, you're going to have to be more specific."

"All the wives, how could you not get jealous of them. Gosh, I'm so jealous of Lila. A more gorgeous wife than the last. One that can please him more than the last. I know I'm going to hell for sure. It's an infraction, jealousy is, and I was breaking it."

"Trust me Bella, I was. Especially when the girls kept getting much, much younger than myself. But I looked to higher power and found strength within God, and he led me in a path, a path which is hard to explain. A path to "other company."

Liz didn't say much the rest of the ride to the hospital. Once there I was rushed into a room with Liz at my side. The doctor had told me I had fully dilated, I could finally push. With Liz's hand intertwined with mine, I pushed out a beautiful baby girl named Evelin, gorgeous just like the rest of my eight other kids.

She was placed in my arms. Elizabeth reached over and kissed my forehead. "You've done good Isabella," she said.

I looked up at her, seeing this approval from a woman I admired the most meant I must have been doing something right. Her blue eyes gazed into mine. She leaned down and pressed her lips into mine. Edward had never kissed me like this. He only gave me pecks, but this, this was unreal. So, I kissed her back and not because I felt obligated to but because I wanted to, because it felt right.

"Bella I have been in love with you for a while now. You're amazing!"

"Thanks," was all I could mutter.

A nurse came back in with Evelin. We can check you out in the next couple of hours. This is your ninth birth the nurse had said almost in shock. I thanked her and rocked Evelin in my arms.

"Bella, it may be weird but Reaser and I have participated in this kind of company before. We have a special connection. Look, if it's weird I'll back off but I know you felt a connection too, with that kiss."

"But what would Edward say?"

"Edward likes playing with us, he gets "more excited."

"How come he hasn't mentioned it to me?"

"He might not want to pressure you. I mean Bella, you've been having baby after baby for the past twelve years. I was also scared about the age difference."

"The age difference between who?"

"Me and you honey, you know Edward doesn't care about age, it's just a number to him. Honey, I could be your mother."

"Well I see you as a mother."

"Bella please don't be angered."

I wasn't angry. I was excited. Very excited to try something the church didn't regulate in my life. I was free to say yes or no and not have any guilt about my decision.

"I have to wait to have sex for six weeks now Elizabeth."

"That hasn't stopped you before Bella."

I blushed how did she even know about that? Edward must have told her. I am not surprised though because he told her everything. Elizabeth knew about Lila way before I even knew because Edward knew I would flip out on him.

I got my phone to call Edward. He picked up on the first ring.

"Hello Bella, my dear, I can't talk long. What's up?"

"I had the baby. Why didn't you tell me about "other company?"

"Bella, I don't want to get into this now."

"Well were in it now Edward! Answer me gosh darn it!"

"Will talk about it when I get back home."

And with that he hung up the phone.

"When can I enjoy your company Elizabeth?"

"How about tomorrow if you fell up to it?"

"Perfect. I couldn't wait!"
