Edward's POV
All of us came home, drunk off of our asses as we walked into the door. I was having trouble making my way into the door, let alone the guest bedroom. Since the girls were staying here they all staying in our bed with Bella. So, us guys decided to crash in the guest bedroom. We know we were going to have some pretty serious hangovers tomorrow, but no one really cared. We were celebrating to start for new life. Once I climbed into the bed I had fallen right to sleep. I wasn't fully asleep, like the dead.
The next day had been fun and great, it was later that evening when it was only Bella, Charlie, Emmet, Jasper, Seth, Leah, Sue, Jacob, Paul, Quil, Embry, Sam, and myself that were home. "Bells, you look sad, what's wrong?" Paul asked. Bella looked up at then with only a sad smile. What was wrong with her today? She didn't seem happy at all today. I walked over to her from where my brothers and I were sitting to wrap my arms around her.
"Bella, Love?" I asked, I knew that she knew that she couldn't avoid my probing questions. She sighed, shaking her head. "Bella, it is obvious that there is something wrong." I turned her face towards me, turning her just in time to see the tears forming in her eyes. I pressed my lips to her cheek. "Bella, please... what is wrong my love?" I asked, coaxing her into answering me.
"Well, I'm just sad today that's all." Bella said, her voice low. My brother Emmet walked up behind us and pulled her into one of his funny hugs where he would give people nuggies. In Bella's case he did a gentle nuggy getting her to laugh.
"Now, who could be sad when Emmet's around?" He boomed, getting Bella to laugh. After Emmet stopped his playing around we all sat at the table. All of us. Bella sighed and knew she had to say why now.
"Well... It's what the doctor told me yesterday." He admitted. I was confused.
"Bella? What do you mean? I thought everything went good, what did your doctor say?" Jacob asked. She help up a finger, collecting all of her thoughts and we all waited.
"Well, before I had found out about the twins, I had wanted to do a home-birth. I wanted to have him or her at home, but after we found out about the Fraternal twins we had to change our minds. When I asked her about the possibility of a home-birth with twins she had said that in normal cases it wouldn't be as huge of a risk. But because of my mother's struggle to have me and later passing away because of the complications she said it could make it a huge, HUGE, risk. The possibility of my mother's fate could possibly be my own as well." Her brothers and Father as well as my brothers and myself were all understanding of her sadness now. "I was so set on it. Wanting to have it that way, but... why. Why must I be given a hard time?" She began crying and Charlie pulled an unused handkerchief out of his chest pocket and handed it to Bella.
"Bells." Charlie sighed. "Because you are so like your mother, it would make it hard on you. Edward would be devastated to lose you. We all would. Please, just go to the hospital and do it the safe way. We don't want to lose you." We all nodded, our eyes glazed over with tears as well. The tears from Bella's eyes had began to fall down her cheeks. After Bella had stopped crying she wiped the tears from her eyes she nodded.
"I won't go through with the home-birth." She said, and everyone nodded.
"Bella, we aren't saying this for our benefit. We are saying this so we can have you with us forever. Or as long as life permits. Please, don't be sad anymore. Promise to be there." I said, hugging her close to me and once again she nodded. It wasn't much longer until everyone had to return home so once again it was only Bella and myself. Sleep had crept upon us as we laid down and I looked into Bella's wide-awake eyes and I pulled her to me. "Bella, How are you?" I asked her, rubbing my hand on her back.
"I'm better. I don't know why, but the fact that I can't have them at home is just saddening." I nodded.
"But look at it this way, it's a much safer path to take." Bella nodded. Pulling herself closer towards me, pressing her trembling lips to mine. I gasped and wrapped my arms around her a little tighter, holding her to me. We ended up falling asleep with happy tears in our eyes. I had understood Bella's feelings towards the situation and she had understood my fear of losing her. Now that our feelings were out in the open all we had to do now was wait for the precious angels to come and to hope that Bella will survive the delivery.
