Edward's POV
The sun was up and the golden rays were shining threw the windows, creating a beautiful blanket of transparent golden dust over Bella as she slept, giving her a beautiful shine. I awoke to my arms wrapped around her body, my hands protectively placed on her growing stomach. I laughed to myself, but didn't remove my hands. I didn't want to move them at all. At this moment, I was completely content and happy with how we were right now. Not that I wasn't happy any other time, just now, felt like the true time that I could protect her as I held her.
It wasn't long until I felt her body move sleepily next to mine. I liked how her expressions seemed to come alive. "Good Morning my precious angels." I whispered into her ear as I kissed the side of her neck. I watched her face as she sleepily smiled and slowly opened her eyes.
"Good Morning." She yawned, rubbing her eyes. As she rolled over to face me and look me in the eyes I watched her skin glow with happiness and fascination. Her expression and mood was so tranquil and at peace one could have mistooken her as a pregnant angel.
"How are you this morning? Good?" I leaned forward and gingerly pressed my lips to hers. It was her being here, and her sweet scent that knew I found the right girl. It was also today, that I realized Bella and I were to see the baby doctor today. "Hey Bella? How do you feel about a shower?" I asked, running my hand threw her beautiful, long, black hair. She smiled and nodded as she got up lazily from the bed. She had started wearing my t-shirts to bed. To be honest I had found that a little hot. Seeing her cute, petite figure in my shirt. As she was in the room collecting towels for us to use I was turning on the water to warm temperature. I quickly light enough candles to romantically light the bathroom and set them up around the tub and I close the blinds.
I had finished just as she had walked into the bathroom and she smiled widely. "Edward?" She gasped.
"Come my sweet. To the world of complete relaxation." I say, a peaceful smile on my lips. She blushed and I gestured my hand to her, to help her into the tub. She was standing as I slipped in and carefully she sat in my lap, leaning back against my chest. This felt nice, to be able to relax like this and cuddle Bella's adorable four months pregnant figure. As I instinctively wrapped my hands around her to touch her stomach, rubbing my hand on the front of her stomach, smiling at the fact that my, MY baby was growing inside of the woman that I love so dearly. It was not that I realized something. Bella had always insisted on wearing my shirts now that I wasn't able to notice. I looked around us to see the front of us and with the evidence of what my hands were feeling and what I was seeing, her belly was growing. Her baby bump was finally glowing. "Oh Bella." I mused, planting a kiss in the nape of her neck.
"What Edward?" She asked, like she had been pulled from her train of thought.
"Why have you been keeping this from me?" I asked, an awed tone present in my voice.
"What- Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't think about it. I figured that with more weight... I wouldn't be as appealing to you." My eyes widened and I gingerly used my index finger to move her face to the side to look me in the eyes.
"I will always and forever be attracted to you. It's not your body that got my attention. Do you know what it was?" She shook her head to prompt me forward. "It was your personality and your energy on that stage those couple years ago. It was that that had me falling for you." I rub my hands on her beautiful stomach, "You understand?" I asked her, giving her a kiss on her lips. I couldn't help but get a little upset when she felt this way, not towards her, but towards the feelings that caused her to feel like I wouldn't love or want her this way. After that conversation was said and done, I grabbed the shampoo and lathered the shampoo in my hands before lathering it into her beautiful Black locks.
A comforted moan escaped her as I rubbing her head with the shampoo. After I rinsed it out I grabbed the shampoo and began washing her body gentle, but with a little bit of some perverted motions such as taking my time washing some extra areas, kissing her neck. The moans that escaped her made it all worth it. After I had began washing myself she turned to face me, giving me a view of her growing belly and I smiled as she insisted on washing me. After getting myself rinsed off I stood up, taking Bella's hand in mine. I grabbed the towels from the counter and we walked into the bedroom, naked, holding hands.
Once we were both dried off I couldn't help but marvel at her beautiful body and gorgeous appearance. She was an angel. I stood up straight as she was slipping into a pair of panties and I walked over, gingerly taking her hand in mine, turning her around to face me as her back faced the bed. This was the perfect moment. I smiled at her as I wrapped my arms behind her shoulders, pulling her body to mine, where her breasts were in contact with my chest and I inhaled deeply, happy with this interaction between her and I.
I very gently pushed her down so she was on the bed as I sensually crawled over her like a mountain lion stalking his prey, lowering my head to hers, passionately kissing her lips like they were the worlds best tasting fruit that had a never ending supply just made for me. As I kissed her one of my hands traveled down her body to her breast were I playfully massaged her, earning myself moans and whimpers. Unfortunately our kiss was momentarily cut short. "Edward..." She breathed out deeply.
"Bella?" I groaned and breathed, feeling the boxers I had on get tight.
"A-As much as I... I am enjoying this... We do have to go to our baby's appointment soon." She commented. I playfully groaned and chuckled.
"How soon is soon?" I panted. She laughed.
"An hour." She laughed.
"I can be finished by then, you interested baby?" I ask, with a giggle she nodded and we continued until both of us were satisfied and left panting. Bella and I were facing each other, panting heavily as we held each other. I looked at the clock and smiled. "I was right, it only took us thirty minutes." I muse as I sit up and moved myself lower, so I was eye-view with her stomach. I kissed her stomach and gently rubbed it. "I can't wait to see you. Only five more months left." I said, leaving a kiss on the peak of her belly before pulling away and gingerly helping Bella sit up as she was blushing.
"I'm sure the baby loved you talking to it." I smiled and nodded. I honestly couldn't wait to hold my precious baby in my arms, swaddling him or her close to me as I spoke to them in the most gentle of voices.
"I hope so, now, let's get dressed so we can head to the doctor's office." I said as we got dressed. Bella had decided on black maternity jeans that had playful silver splats all over the pants and for a shirt she had decided on a shirt for the Band Panic at the Disco. They were a pretty cool band from what I have listened to.
As we made our way to the doctors office we were in a happy silence. Once we entered the office Bella had signed herself in and picked up a magazine that was based off of women who were in their second trimesters. Once and a while I would look over at what she was reading as she flipped threw the pages. I would occasionally catch a glimpse of an image on a page of a woman with a doctor or a woman who was caressing her stomach. I smiled and could picture Bella doing this in the future, once her stomach gets bigger. "Isabella?" Bella stood up and I followed her into the room after her weight had been checked, and we waited for her doctor to arrive. It was only a five minute wait.
"Hello Bella, it's good to see you, how are you today?" Bella smiled.
"I'm feelings pretty good today, nice and healthy."
"I'm glad to hear that, so, let's get you all checked out." They did the usual by asking her medical questions about her appetite and other things that I guess were important. Usually when I came to these things it was when the ultrasound was taken that I had the most interest. "Ok, so, if you could lay back and lift up your shirt for me, it would be a great help." Bella smiled.
"Of course." Bella said, complying by lifting up her shirt while the doctor began to spread a blue gel on her stomach. It was this point of the appointments that always had me excited. Cause for now, it was the only time I could see my baby from the inside. So I took Bella's hand in mine as I watched the screen with excitement. As the doctor moved the sensor wand around on her belly the sound the our child's heartbeat was the first thing we noticed from the machine... but soon we began to notice what sounded like two heartbeats, which confused Bella and I. "Doctor? Do you hear that?" The doctor nodded.
"Hold on, I'm looking." As the doctor was looking at the screen her eyes widened with excitement. "Oh my..." Bella and I looked at each other immediately, concern clear in our eyes.
"Doc?" Bella asked, her voice shook with worry. "Is there something wrong?" Oh god, please no!
"Oh, no. Not at all." The doctor turned the screen for us to see. "Do you see these two dark masses with the white center?" We nodded. "Well, I am excited to tell you, Congratulations Bella and Edward, you're pregnant with twins." My brain went into immediate shock, making me freeze. Twins? I looked at Bella and her eyes widened in excitement.
"T-twins?" I asked, my voice catching in my throat.
"Yes, twins, congratulations." I looked at Bella and a smile formed on my lips as I jumped up, leaning forward and pressing my lips to hers. I could hear Bella giggling happily when I gave her a chaste kiss. "So, now that you know you are having twins, do you have any questions for me?"
"Yes, are you able to tell what kind of twins that they are?" The doctor focused on the screen again.
"Well, from what I can see, it looks as if the twins have their own separate placenta. So, from at this point, I would say that they are fraternal twins." I smiled and kissed Bella's cheek.
"I'm so excited!" Bella cheered. "No, I do have another question."
"Yes?"
"Well, before, Edward and I were talking about a home birth possibility, would that be possible now?" The doctor looked at her, unsure.
"Well, there are a couple complications with that now that we know you are pregnant with twins..." As she discussed the possible complications with us, Bella face looked worried. The complications were mostly during labor. She also mentioned that considering Bella's mother had a hard time, that it would be better to have Bella in a hospital, Bella looked sad, but her look was understanding.
"Ok, I understand." Bella said, "I understand. If it's that much of a risk, I can have then at the hospital. I could see the sadness in Bella's face, but I knew that she knew it was better to have it somewhere where it was safer. After we left we got in the car and I decided to speak with Bella.
"Bella, I know you are upset, I'm sorry that the home birth isn't an option." Bella smiled, but shook her head.
"No, it's ok. I understand. It's better for me to be safe than to be stupid and selfishly yearn for what I had wanted. But it's ok. I swear." I nodded and thought of a great idea.
"Hey Bella, let's invite our families and friends over for dinner tonight? Tell them the news?" Bella's smile widened and she nodded as we made our way to the local Pizza place. I had gone inside to order the food while Bella had called Charlie, Sue, Seth, Leah, Sam, Jacob, Quil, Embry, Paul, Alice, Rosalie, Emmet, Jasper, Carlisle, and Esme to invite them over for dinner. By the time I had come back she had called them all and they were all waiting for us at the house when we had arrived back.
Emmet had run up to our car and had snatched the pizza from the back, though Bella insisted on carrying some in. He had repeated to her, "Pregnant woman shouldn't be carrying heavy things." Bella would pout. It was a little funny when she would pout, not that I liked seeing her pout, but it was the reason behind the pouting that made it funny. When we made it inside Charlie had hugged Bella to him, "How are you Bells? You look a little down." She shook her head.
"I'm alright. I'll explain it later tonight." Charlie grimaced and looked to me for a clue, but I acted like I didn't know. Once everyone was seated and served we all began talking actively, smiling and telling each other what was all going on now. Most of the conversation had Emmet and Rosalie, and Jasper and Alice. Emmet apparently had proposed to Rosalie and they were planning on getting married in two years. They felt that they wanted to wait long enough so that their niece's and/or nephew's could be a part of the wedding.
After all the great conversation Jacob looked at Bella, "So Bells, what's the occasion? What's up?" Bella sighed with a smile and stood up.
"Well, we invited you all here for dinner to tell you guys some great news. So, the last time you all were here for dinner, Edward and I had told you that we found out I am pregnant. But as of today, the doctor surprised us with great news." Bella said. My Esme's eyes got wide like Carlisle's.
"What did she say? You said it was GREAT news, what could it be?" Esme asked excitedly. I smiled and Bella pulled out the ultrasounds from her bag and first handed them to my mother. Esme opened the envelope and as soon as her eyes laid upon the picture happy tears began to over-flow and she hopped up out of her seat and pulled Bella and I into a hug. "OH MY GOD! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!" She happily cried. When she had jumped the pictures ended face up on the table. Carlisle and Charlie's faces had brightened up like the sun as they came over to join in the joyous hug. Jacob picked one up.
"What does this mean Bella?" He asked, showing her the picture.
"Well, we found out, I am pregnant with fraternal twins." My brother's eyes widened as well as Bellas' brother's eyes. Hey Brothers, Alice, Leah, and Rosalie jumped up and all pulled Bella into a group hug.
"OH MY GOD! THIS IS EXCITING! BELLS IS GONNA BE A MOMMY OF TWO!" Alice cheered as they hugged her and again that warm feeling entered my heart. These were the times we enjoyed most with the family. To have fun and to hang out together with family and friends to enjoy each other's company. And to end off the night of our great fun us men all went out for a beer together while the girls spent the night together. This is the life and I couldn't ask for better.
