EPOV

At this point, I was panicking. I had no clue what to do or how to calm down. Bella was groaning in pain into my chest while everyone was starting the band van and pulling it as close to the house as possible. When I got our cue I slowly moved myself so I could be able to move Bella more carefully. As soon as she stopped groaning in pain she held onto me as I helped her up onto her feet. I moved her one arm over my neck as I helped to carry her out. We were just outside the door where was waiting for us when she stopped dead in her tracks and said, "HOLY SHIT!" She yelled, clutching her stomach with her hand. This is when Charlie came over and began rubbing her back paternally as she underwent the contractions.

"It's ok honey. You're going to be okay. Shhhh... You'll pull through." It wasn't long before it was over and we all made our way into the huge van. I got in the back with everyone while Charlie offered to drive. I sat in one of the side seats while Bella was laying back with her head in my lap. It was gruesome to see her in this kind of pain. When she had time to breathe she would try to talk.

"Ed... Edward." She called to me and I looked down at her face while slowly and softly rubbing her stomach, like I thought that would help to ease her pain.

"Yes love?" A smile appeared on her face.

"We... We are going to be parents soon." The warmth that had filled my body when I had when I found out we were first going to parents filled my heart and I could tell I was smiling like a loon. It was the best feeling ever, to know you were going to become a parent, to be able to hold that precious baby in your arms, or in our case, hold those precious baby's in our arms. I nodded and leaned down to press my lips to her forehead and Bella tensed up again. I looked around, scared. I had no clue what to do. My mother Esme noticed my distress and walked over.

"Here let me help." She said while putting a hand underneath Bella's back, I noticed that Bella's pained face seemed to lessen by a small bit. "There is a pressure point on the spine, pressing there helps to take some of the pressure off." I looked at my mother and smiled, thanking her for helping I could see Bella's brothers and my brothers sitting on the other side of the van, having the same expression as me, of not being sure of what to do.

"It's going to be okay Bella." Sam said, giving her a light pat on her shoulder. "If you made your way through a coma you can make it through this." He said, trying to be encouraging. Bella giggled a little and nodded at Sam.

"Yes, you're right. Now, can I ask you all a huge favor and apologize ahead of time?" We all nodded, but still unsure of what she would need to be apologizing about. "Well... I want to ask that everyone please don't ask me if I'm alright after each contraction? It was just get a little annoying for everyone." She said, everyone laughing. "And... please, I want to ask that you forgive me now incase I say anything mean or harsh that I don't mean at all during the labor pains." I could... well we all could hear Charlie chuckling up front.

"Bells, I'm sure you'll be ok." He said while laughing, causing Bella to earn a smile. It wasn't long before we had finally reached the hospital and were all put in a huge delivery room. One big enough for everyone to fit. This had been nice of them to allow all of us into this room, though everyone besides me, Alice, Rosalie, and Esme were going to be in the room while Bella gave birth to the twins. For now we sat in the room, painfully waiting for each new contraction. She had attempted laying on her side, taking my hand in hers. I wanted to cry as I witnessed this pain, I wished that I could do anything to ease her pain. When her contractions would start she had originally began squeezing the bars on the side of the bed but I had decided to give her my hand instead.

Once this particular contraction began she groaned out loud. "OH MY GOOOOOOOOOD!" She groaned into the pillow, and she began squeezing my hand, I had then immediately been slightly regretting the thought of giving her my hand. My face was covered in pain and everyone was laughing at me as I put my face into the side of the bed, close to crying. Once she had finally been done with her pain and let go of my hand I could feel the pain in my hand that was caused by my blood trying to circulate. "I'm so sorry baby. Please, don't... Don't give me your hand."

"But..."

"No buts about it!" She shrieked as another contraction ran rampant throughout her body. I looked at her and settled for rubbing my hand on her stomach again. For hours it went on like this, almost like there was no end to the pain and suffering she was having to endure. We all were here trying to encourage her like her female delivery doctor would remind us to do each time she came back to check on Bella. The pain had become so strong that Bella had begged for something to throw up in and she did. I felt like such a jackass for putting her through all of this.

Throughout the entire labor Bella had moved into many different positions to try and relax her back. One where she was on her knees, her hands on her knees as well and her back was arched forwards, then moving onto all fours and slowly began rocking her body some as each contraction ripped through her. "Bella I'm so sorry." I apologized to her many times about the pain, but she would often just tell me to shut up, telling me that she wouldn't be going through this pain if she didn't want children with me. That had eased my guilt some. Soon everyone except for Alice, Rosalie, Esme, and myself went into the waiting area just outside of the delivery room, wishing us good luck as they left the room. I think they were getting a headache and becoming extremely worried for her and they didn't want to put that stress on Bella, Well... Alice whispered it into my ears.

So far her labor had gone on for twelve hours when her doctor came into the room to check her once again. "Well Bella, it looks like you're ready to deliver." Bella sighed, relieved.

"Thank god!" We all laughed as everything was being prepared and more doctors were coming into the room, giving Alice, Rosalie, Esme and I hospital scrubs as the doctor finally took her spot to deliver the children. My heart was pounding. I was so nervous, worried about the thoughts that crossed my head about if the children would love me like I loved them. Would they be respectful? Would they... I needed to stop worrying about this. I really did.

"Okay Bella... I'm going to need you to push ok. On the count of three. One... Two... Three." Bella began pushing and crying as she did, screaming from the pain. My mother Esme kept using a cloth to wipe away the sweat from Bella's face while I kept attempting to reassure her and holding her hand. Alice and Rosalie were the closest to the action, slowly and very softly rubbing Bella's upper thighs. As the second time to push came around a pained medium-volume scream ripped through her clenched teeth.


Everyone flinched and cringed in the waiting area when they heard Bella screaming. Everyone was extremely worried for her, seeing as Bella's mother didn't make it through her delivery. Would she make it? Her screams were not very reassuring. "I'm so worried about her." Jacob said, his head in his hands as he tried to attempt to calm himself down.

"Ditto." Charlie, Leah, Sue, Embry, Quill, Sam, Paul, and Seth said. Carlisle sat with his head in his hands as well, trying to focus on other things, other than the sounds of his daughter-in-laws pain. Emmet and Jasper were worried as well, hearing the screams from their sister in law made them want to bust down the door to help in anyway that they could. They couldn't understand Bella's family's worries though.

"Charlie?" Emmet asked. "Why are you guys so, extremely worried about her? I mean don't get me wrong I am too, you just seem really worried that something will happen. Charlie sighed and looked at Emmet and Jasper.

"Bella's mother, Renee, died giving birth to her. So we are worried that something of the same will happen." Emmet and Jasper nodded. This was something they sort of knew about.

"I don't think we need to be worrying too much." Emmet said. "What I mean is that Bella is a strong, stubborn girl and will fight no matter what, there is no way she would let herself leave us all here. Especially not Edward and their arriving young." Everyone was shocked at Emmet's emotional side, but smiled and nodded agreeing with him as they still tried to focus on other things, not really wanting to believe that Bella was in this much pain.


As before this pain seemed it would last forever until the doctor said these couple of words. "Your first baby is almost here." She said excitedly, reassuring Bella to keep going.

"Come on Bella, you can do it, our babies are almost here! Come on, you can do it, just a little bit longer." I said, encouraging her. She had tears running down her eyes as she continued to push, using as much strength as possible to give birth to the children. Push after push, scream after scream, it continued to feel that this pain would never end... until I heard the one noise I had been waiting one whole eight and a half months to hear.

The piercing cries of our first baby born over-joyed my heart. "It's a boy! Congratulations. Now, let's get to work and get this second baby out so you all can meet him or her. Ok, Bella I need you to push some more." Bella had tears running as she continued to push, looking more and more exhausted by the minute. I continued my reassuring words and continued to hold her hand as she pushed. Alice and Rosalie were also helping me out.

"Oh Bella!" They cried happily. "Come on Bella, you can do it. The second baby is almost here, come on you can do it!"

"You can do it honey!" Esme said, still wiping Bella's face clear of sweat. At was just as Esme said that the second round of wails came into the world and I wanted to cry. Both of our children were now here, alive moving and Bella was also with us, not harmed at all.

"Congratulations Bella. Your second baby is a girl." We all breathed out and smiled as they took our second baby over to be cleaned up while they finished with Bella. I couldn't help but look at Bella as she was now trying to frantically catch her breath. It wasn't long before I couldn't help but to go look over at our precious little ones. They were so innocent and adorable. I wanted to cry. Once Bella had finally been cleaned up as well and was resting our doctor brought over our babies, handing both Bella and I our babies, swaddled in white blankets. "Edward has been given your little girl and you Bella have been your little boy. Again congratulations. I held my daughter in my arms, looking at her, not being able to believe she and our son were finally here.

"Welcome into the world Masen." Bella said, cooing as she held the baby close to her. I looked at and smiled at her. She looked at me, blushing. "I wanted to name him your original last name. I wanted them to be a part of this as well." I smiled and sat down in the chair next to the bed, angling our daughter so Bella could get a good look at her.

"Welcome Keira." I said, planting a kiss on her forehead. Keira's eyes opened to allow me to see that her eyes were Bella's beautiful milk-chocolate brown. I looked over at Masen whose eyes were open and his eyes were my astonishing emerald green. I looked at Bella and kissed her lips passionately for a moment and when I pulled back I said, "Thank you so much. You have given me more in life than I ever thought I would have. Thank you for marrying me, and thank you for giving me the most beautiful children on this planet." Bella started crying happily as she looked down at Masen who was tightening his little adorable hand around Bella's index finger, Bella's smile widened and I looked up at Alice, Rosalie, and Esme to see tears running down their faces.

"I'm so sorry! They are just so beautiful!" Rosalie and Alice cried together. Esme looked at me, "They are the most beautiful children I have ever seen." She said, crying. "Shall I go get everyone?" I looked towards Bella who nodded at Esme.

"Hey, Esme... well Mom, Alice, Rosalie, Baby, thank you for being in here with me. It meant so much to me." My mother smiled and leaned down to give Bella a hug, planting a kiss on Masen's head, then coming around to give me a hug, also kissing Keira's forehead.

"You're welcome." Esme said, blushing as she walked out to get the others and it wasn't even a minute later that everyone walked in, their face's full of wonder and complete bliss as they saw our children.

"Bella... You did amazing." Jacob said, looking at both of the babies before him.

"Yes, a very good job." Charlie and Carlisle said together, while Bella's brother's nodded. Emmet and Jasper looked at me as I held my daughter, slowly petting her head with my hand, relishing in her and my son's infant beauty.

"So how does it feel to be a daddy?" Emmet asked. I smiled and kissed Keira's forehead.

"It's the most beautiful feeling in the entire world. It's like no other feeling." I said, and once I looked at Charlie I could see the red forming around his eyes from upcoming tears.

"So, what gender's are they? And did you name them yet?" Bella nodded, moving our son, turning him around to face them.

"This is our baby boy, his name is Masen." Jacob very carefully and slowly held open his arms, asking permission to hold him. Bella nodded and smiled, turning Masen towards her. "Ok, Masen, You're going to meet your family, your Uncle Jake is up first." Jacob blushed she Bella slowly handed him Masen and Jacob took extra care to hold him with care. I smiled and did the same as Bella.

"And this is our baby girl, her name is Keira." Emmet this time did the same as Jacob did and I nodded, showing the correct way to hold a baby. As Masen and Keira were being introduced to everyone Bella and I watched in proud silence as each family member was dazzled by each baby. It was at mid-night that everyone decided that they were going to go home and get some rest. It wasn't long after they left that Bella had fallen asleep. She had been through so much in the last couple of hours that I knew letting her sleep was the right thing. It was also in that moment that I took both children into my arms, looking back and forth, "You both are so beautiful.


A month later

It was a month after the twins had been born and let me tell you, life was hectic for a while. The baby's were in our full attention needing diaper changes or needing breast fed, it was almost like all they knew how to do was eat, go to the bathroom, and sleep, but I didn't mind it so much. And neither did Bella for that matter. For right now, Bella was napping and I took the liberty of laying both Masen and Keira on my chest as they slept.

As they both rested on my chest I could feel their breathing and their individual heartbeats, and it just made this all the more real. It was made even more real when they both moved their hands against my chest, moving their heads and arms a little at a time. At this moment I got this urge, and I didn't understand where it was coming from, but I let instinct take over. In a quiet whisper I said, "You both are loved and you are wanted, now and forever."
