Chapter 18
EPOV
Twins? Twins? Did I just hear that right? Are we having twins? I heard Alice squeal and it brought me out of my daze. I felt Bella's grip loosen on my hand and I looked up to see her eyes roll back into her head.
"Carlisle! Something is wrong with Bella" I said, tears streaming down my face. Carlisle spun to check her out and Alice spoke softly from beside me.
"Edward, she just fainted. This is a lot of news for her to take in. Don't worry, she will open her eyes in about 17 seconds" Alice said, comforting me and informing Carlisle.
Exactly as predicted, 17 seconds later, Bella's eyes fluttered open and she immediately blushed. I guess she realized that she had fainted.
"Edward? I did, didn't I?" Bella said, refusing to look up from her lap.
"Yes baby, but it is ok, it was quite a shock for me too" I said, squeezing her hand softly and lifting her chin so I could look into her eyes.
"You…" Bella said then bit her lip. "You aren't mad?"
"Mad??? Why on earth would I be mad? I am happy that I am going to be a father Bella. I am even happier that you will be the one to have my children. You have made me happier than I ever thought possible" I said then leaned in towards Bella and kissed her on the lips.
"Well, I thought that you might be mad that it is twins. I don't know Edward, I am pregnant, don't question my line of thought" Bella said and smiled at me.
I smiled back at her and then we heard laughter from the next room. I hadn't even realized that everyone had left the room. Alice came back into the room carrying a wet washcloth.
"Here Bella, I thought you might want to clean that off of your stomach and also, Charlie will be calling in about 7 minutes" Alice said handing the washcloth to Bella. I took it from her and cleaned her up then rearranged her clothes and helped her off of the table.
"Edward, would you mind if I talked to Charlie alone?" Bella asked me.
"Of course not honey. I will be in the living room with everyone else if you need me" I said and kissed Bella. I picked up her cell phone from the kitchen counter and handed it to her and then left her as it started ringing.
I made my way into the living room and sad down with my family. I realized how blessed I was to have a wonderful family, a wonderful woman, and now I was going to marry her and she was having my children. My children… I wonder if Alice had seen this coming.
"Alice? Did you…" I began but she cut me off.
"Yes Edward, I saw two babies but that is all I am going to say. The vision was cloudy so I wasn't sure if it was accurate that is why I didn't say anything" Alice explained then started busying herself with her fingernails. I could tell she was thinking about something. What I wouldn't give to be able to hear her thoughts right now but that ability had gone when I came back as a human.
I watched the TV for a few minutes then noticed everyone had gotten quiet and was looking towards the kitchen. I muted the TV and listened in. It took me a minute but then I heard Bella.
"NO DAD! I am not irresponsible just because I fucked my fiancé and am now going to marry him and have his kids!" Bella screamed.
There was a pause and I assumed that Charlie was saying something. Then I heard Bella scream again. "Well CHARLIE! At lease I waited until I was almost 22 before I got 'knocked up!' Hell you and mom didn't even wait until high school was over! She told me all about prom!"
Bella paused again and I stood up and took a few steps toward the kitchen. I looked over and noticed Jasper wearing a pained expression on his face. "She is pissed man" Jasper said quietly.
"Can you do something about it?" I pleaded with him.
"I can try…" Jasper said and a look of concentration crossed his face.
Bella started up again just then. "Dad! Charlie! Listen to me. Hold on a sec. JASPER HALE, KNOCK IT THE FUCK OFF! I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING! Dad! Listen to me, I know what in the fuck I am doing and if you don't like it then you can stay the hell out of it. I just thought that you might like to know that you are going to be a grandfather and that I am pregnant with twins! YES I SAID TWINS! DID I STUTTER?"
Bella paused again and Jasper shot a look at me. "She is more pissed now!" he said through clenched teeth.
"Sorry man" I said and hung my head, waiting for Bella to finish her conversation with Charlie.
She started yelling again. "YOU KNOW WHAT DAD?!? THAT IS FINE BY ME! I DON'T NEED YOU IN ORDER TO RAISE MY CHILDREN! MOM DID JUST FINE WITHOUT YOU AND SO WILL I!" I heard Bella scream just then and then heard something shatter in the kitchen.
We all ran into the kitchen to see the source of the noise and saw the kitchen windows broken and Emmett noticed a cast iron skillet lying on the back porch.
"Damn Bella! Remind me not to piss you off!" Emmett said and let out a low whistle. Bella glared at him and I told him to shut the hell up. For once he listened and I wrapped my arms around Bella, trying to divert her attention.
Esme and Rosalie began to clean up the broken glass and I could feel Jasper sending out very low calming waves at Bella. I hoped she didn't feel them. I wanted her to calm down.
"Bella what happened?" I said, holding her and rubbing slow circles on her lower back with my fingers. She glared at me.
"HE HUNG UP ON ME!" Bella growled through clenched teeth.
"Well damn Bella! I think I would have too!" Emmett offered then clasped his hand over his mouth due to the look Bella shot him. If looks could kill Emmett would have been 20 feet under.
"Emmett! I have another skillet right here!" Bella growled as she reached for it. Carlisle was quicker and snatched the skillet away from her. He also grabbed all the knives and headed out of the kitchen with them.
"Thanks Carlisle!" Emmett called out then ran out of the room with Alice chasing him down.
Bella knocked my arms off of her and started to pace the kitchen. Jasper walked up behind me and whispered in my ear. "Man, I can't get her calm without possibly overdoing it. I don't want to hurt the babies. Sorry man."
I nodded my thanks as I watched Bella pace more and wring her hands together. Occasionally she would stop and stamp her food and growl something. Carlisle returned with his stethoscope and a blood pressure cuff.
"Bella? I need to check your blood pressure. I am worried that it is high from the stress you have endured today" Carlisle said softly and approached Bella.
"FINE!" She huffed and sat down at the kitchen bar. I went to stand behind her and I placed my hands on her shoulders while I kissed her softly on the head. I was trying my best to calm her down. I had never seen her so pissed, not even with the whole Tanya incident. She was worrying me.
Carlisle checked Bella's blood pressure and his face creased with worry.
"Carlisle what is it?" I asked as Alice appeared in the doorway with Carlisle's medical bag.
"Bella, your blood pressure is 157 over 104. You are going to have to calm down or I will be forced to sedate you" Carlisle said as he removed the blood pressure cuff from Bella's arm. "What is it going to be?"
"FUCK YOU!" Bella screamed and my jaw dropped. Before I knew what was happening I was pushed aside as Alice, Esme, and Rose appeared and held Bella down. She was screaming obscenities at everyone and trying to fight against them. Carlisle pulled out a small glass bottle and a syringe.
"What is that Carlisle?" I asked, suddenly worried.
"Demerol. She needs something to calm her down and let her sleep it off. Don't worry Edward, it is completely safe. Ladies, hold her still" Carlisle said as one of Bella's legs flew at his hand that was holding the syringe.
Rose grabbed Bella's leg and held it down against the chair, Esme held one arm perfectly still for Carlisle, and Alice held the other arm and Bella's shoulders. Jasper was present and was trying to calm Bella down with his powers.
Carlisle stuck the needle in her and I quickly grabbed a few gauze squares and a band aid for the blood. Carlisle withdrew the empty syringe and Bella's limbs started to calm down. Her eyelids began to droop and I heard one more slurred "fuck you" as I wiped the blood away and bandaged her up.
Alice scooped the now sedated Bella up and carried her upstairs to our room. She laid her on the bed and smiled apologetically at me before leaving me to her. I didn't know what else to do so I curled up with her and held her until the morning.
* * * * * * * * * *
I fell asleep with Bella at some point and woke up before her. I slipped out of bed and went to the bathroom for a moment.
When I returned to the bedroom, Bella was awake and sitting on the bed, her face in her hands. It sounded like she was crying.
"Bella?" I asked softly, trying to keep her calm. "Bella, are you ok?"
"No" she said from her hands. "I made a complete fool of myself and I should have never spoken to you, your family, or Charlie like I did. I am so sorry!"
I climbed onto the bed and pulled her into my arms. "Baby, don't cry. They will forgive you, I am sure they already have."
"No! I was horrible to them!" Bella said between tears and buried her head into my chest.
"Bella? Why don't you go take a shower and I will go prepare us some breakfast? How does Spaghetti O's and Doritos sound?" I suggested, trying to cheer her up.
"With a Diet Dr. Pepper?" Bella asked, looking up at me.
"Of course! Now, go take a nice hot shower and come down when you are ready" I said before kissing her and heading downstairs.
About 30 minutes later Bella finally appeared in the kitchen and looked thoroughly embarrassed. Thankfully Alice had foreseen the windows getting broke and had extra glass on hand. Emmett and Jasper replaced it last night after Bella had been sedated. Bella sat down at the kitchen bar and started slowly eating her 'meal' if you could call it that. I settled in beside her with a bowl of cereal.
"Where is everyone?" Bella asked me in between bites. "I wanted to apologize to everyone."
"Well, Carlisle is in his study, Esme is in her room working on some blue prints, Alice and Rose went shopping, and Emmett and Jasper are out hunting" I explained.
"Oh, ok. Would you mind if I spoke with Carlisle after we finish eating, alone I mean?" Bella asked, looking at me cautiously like I would say no.
"Of course! You can speak to him privately whenever you want Bella, the entire family for that matter. They are your family too" I said and she smiled lightly at me.
"Thank you Edward. I really am sorry" Bella said then took the last bite of her Spaghetti O's and Doritos then gulped down her Diet Dr. Pepper and pushed away from the kitchen bar. "I am going to talk to Carlisle now. Will you be down here?"
"No, I think I am going to go see what Esme is up to" I said as I put our dishes in the sink and quickly washed them.
Bella and I walked upstairs and I noticed a CD case in her hand. I didn't remember seeing it downstairs and wondered what she was up to. I kissed her at the door to Carlisle's study and before Bella could knock Carlisle said "Come on in Bella."
She blushed at me then opened the door, stepped inside, and closed it behind her. I walked to the next door and knocked lightly. Before I could withdraw my hand the door was opened by Esme who was smiling at me and hurried me inside.
"Good, Edward, I need your help" Esme said in a hushed tone.
"Why are you whispering?" I asked, playing along.
"I don't want Bella to hear" Esme explained as she ushered me to her bed and a set of blue prints and some other sheets of paper.
"What is all this?"
"I wanted to expand a little and add on a nursery to the house. This way the babies will have their own space."
"Esme, thank you. But, how much longer will we be living here? I don't want you to go through all this and have to move right away."
"Nonsense Edward. It is nothing. I think we have another 2 years here before we have to leave. After all, Carlisle did take a few years off while he helped Bella come to terms with what happened. He has only been at the hospital for about 2 years now."
"Oh ok. So, what do you need my help with?"
"I wanted to know if you guys wanted the nursery directly off of your room or if you wanted access to it from your room and the hallway? That way we would be able to help the two of you and take care of the babies while the two of you get some sleep."
"Thank you Esme! That is a wonderful suggestion. I just want to ask Bella first to make sure. Ok?"
"That is fine dear. I expected that much" Esme said and then we heard music coming from the next room, from Carlisle's office. "What is that?" Esme asked.
I listened and recognized the music immediately. "That would be Ella Fitzgerald singing 'Someone to Watch over Me.' I wonder why they are playing that?" I said.
Esme and I walked out into the hallway and stood outside the door to Carlisle's office. I leaned closer to the door and I heard Carlisle speaking softly to Bella and her apologizing profusely. Esme quietly opened the door and we peeked in. The sight before me took my breath away. Bella was dancing with Carlisle. He was teaching her the slow waltz. Carlisle slowly spun Bella away from him as the song ended and she caught sight of Esme and me in the doorway, causing her to blush.
"Oh, I didn't know anyone was watching" Bella said and released Carlisle's hand immediately.
"May I cut in?" I asked and Bella smiled at me. I walked to her and took her hand as Carlisle restarted the music and he and Esme left the room.
"I asked Carlisle to teach me to dance for the wedding. I hope you don't mind the song, it was my grandmother's favorite" Bella said softly.
"The song is perfect Bella, I love it" I said and we started moving slowly to the song. Our eyes never left each other until the song ended and I spun Bella and brought her in for a kiss.
I pressed my lips to hers and she wrapped her arms around my neck, deepening the kiss. I felt a sudden yearning in my groin as I realized that we hadn't made love since the day we returned home from Chicago. Carlisle had forbid it while we were healing.
"Bella," I said between kisses. "Shall we move to the room?"
Bella nodded and I gently picked her up and headed to our room. I set her on her feet and she immediately removed my shirt, returning her lips to mine when they were clear of the material. She moved backwards until her legs found the bed and pulled me down onto it with her.
"Edward I love you so much" Bella said as I started kissing down her neck.
"I love you too" I said before returning my mouth to hers. Bella's hands gripped my shoulders as she pulled me into her more. I slipped and caught myself just before my body collided with hers. I would have to be more careful.
"Make love to me Edward. Touch me. It has been too long. I need to feel you" Bella moaned into me.
Suddenly, pictures flooded my head, sex, Bella, babies! I couldn't do it! I would hurt them! I would hurt her! I sat up suddenly and a look of hurt crossed her face as I buried my head into my hands.
"Edward? What's wrong?" Bella said, sitting up beside me.
"I…I…I can't do this" I said, never removing my face from my hands.
"What do you mean 'you can't do this?'" Bella asked.
"I might hurt you…I might hurt the babies…" I said and looked up at her. Suddenly, rage flashed across her face as tears streamed down her cheeks.
"Just admit it Edward! You don't want to do it because I don't look good to you anymore! Just admit it!" Bella yelled at me.
"No! That isn't it at all Bella! You are beautiful to me!" I said, pleading with her.
"Don't worry Edward! I will be back to my same old self in about 10 months and you won't have to worry about hurting me or the babies!" Bella screamed and ran from the room. I ran after her to stop her from doing anything to hurt herself or the babies and froze.
Everything happened so quickly. Bella tripped at the top of the stairs and her eyes went wide as she slipped over the top stair. I heard her scream and then another scream from the living room. Before I could move Alice was there and caught Bella in her arms.
Bella started crying immediately and Alice shot me a look and yelled "I hope you are happy Edward!" Then Alice carried Bella past me and into her room, slamming the door behind her.
Rosalie and Esme appeared suddenly and both yelled at the same time "What did you do Edward?!?" before stalking past me and following Alice into her room.
Jasper and Emmett appeared next and Jasper said "Man, she is pissed! What did you do?"
Emmett followed up with "Way to go Edward! Piss off the pregnant woman."
I was about to yell at them when I felt Carlisle's hand on my shoulder. "Son, I think we need to have a talk about what just happened." I just nodded and went to follow him but paused outside Alice's door.
I was about to knock but decided against it when I hear Bella scream "FUCKING EDWARD FUCKING CULLEN!" I hung my head and followed Carlisle into his office, closing the door behind me and wondering how in the hell I was going to fix this one.
So? What did you think of 'angry Bella?' I thoroughly enjoyed writing her and hope you enjoyed reading it. Let me know what you think please.......
