" Bella! Where are you? I know Edward, has told the good news about Ethan. You know what that means! SHOPPING!"
All I could was closed my eyes, and shake my head. Angela, looked at me wondered why I looked the way I did.
" Bella, What's wrong?'
" Alice. My pixie sister. I remember when I became, immortal. All the clothes Rose, Esme, my pixie sister bought me. Clothes for miles. Still to this day Alice does most the shopping for us."
" I wish Alice, was around when I was turned. I felt so bad for Nahuel. But he was a good sport. When it came time for Daphne, he stayed behind."
" When I was human, I disliked shopping. But I do enjoy going every now and then. I don't want to rain, on Alice's parade, but I think this time around we, should let Tatiana, Isabelle, and Timothy handle this."
"Maybe a few nice gifts' wont hurt. I'm sure we can get Alice to agree to that." Angela said to me.
Alice entered the room, smiling carrying a laptop. " Angela you are excited? I haven't been this excited since Nessie told us she was pregnant."
"Alice, sis. I think we should hold off. I mean I know Ethan, is going to need new clothes, basically everything new. But I feel Tatiana, and her family should do most of this, don't you?"
Alice stood there for a moment. I something was happening, she was having a vision. Angela and I knew that look all to well. "What is it Alice?"
"Call Carlisle, tell him to bring type AB and O blood home. And lots of pain medication. Nessie, is going to need it.
" You can see all of that? I thought you couldn't see Nessie very well, with the pack around.?"
" It's the babies, I don't know which one. But I can see everything, and everyone when one is born. All I can tell is the babies are going to be beautiful especially those girls. The boy is going to be heartbreaker. " Alice told everyone.
" Have you told Carlisle?" Bella asked , Alice.
" No, Jasper and I, thought maybe it was some type of fluke. Like when the pack isn't around I can see clearly. But when they are around, everything goes fuzzy."
"Well, I'm glad to hear that you can see everyone again, when the pack is around. I know how frustrating, it is not knowing what is going to happen."
"True. I think we should get ready. Nessie, is going to be arriving soon, and her guests will be coming too. "
Time passed by fast. Everything was set for my daughter's shower. She received gifts from Italy, Ireland, Asia, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Egyptian , Poland, covens came along Carmen, Tanya, & Kate. with the few human friends we knew. Ethan's mom Beth showed up too.
" Ok everyone, Nessie we need you to stand up, so everyone can measure your stomach."
" Measure?" Nessie asked.
" Yes silly girl, whoever gets the right number wins a prize." Alice explained.
Everyone took their turn, and we laughed, played teased those who were so far off. Rosalie came in second, Daphne, and Isis tied for first place. Isis, was excited. It was her first shower. Soon it was time to eat. Those of us who didn't eat made it seem like we ate really fast. Beth was talking to Esme, Carmen, Rosalie about starting a Women's Shelter for abused women in Seattle.
"Esme, thank-you so much for everything. Especially with Ethan. I don't know how, we would have made it without you and Tatiana's family."
" No problem Beth. My girls' and I dislike men who abuse women. If we can help a woman and her children or child. We will guide them the right way to make a better life for themselves." Esme explained.
"I was told Seattle doesn't have shelter any longer. They closed it down due to state funding. I was thinking of raising money to reopen the building, offering self defense classes, and some type of job training classes, maybe local businesses will hire those who really want to work and change their lives"
Rosalie started smiling, Alice rushed over. " I think that is a wonderful ideal Beth. I'm sure the shelter will do wonders for so many people. Maybe if you held a couple fundraisers, and let the people Seattle, and surrounding towns know what you are doing, the money will come in. Do you have account manager?"
" No, not yet, There is so much to do. I'll start on it tomorrow. Right now this is about Nessie. Thank-you for inviting me again, and your input." Beth told them all.
Beth joined Tatiana, and Isabelle. Alice was talking to Rosalie, Esme, and Carmen letting them know how things would work out for Beth. Out of no where a loud yell from Nessie came.
" OUCH! OH MY GOD! THAT HURT!"
Bella rushed to Nessie's side. " Nessie are you ok?"
" It hurt's I mean it hurt's bad. This one was the worst, here comes another one! Esme! Come quick."
"Esme rushed to her side. " Breathe slowly Nessie, Bella call Carlisle, and Jacob. Let them know it's time. These three little ones are ready to make their entrance."
Everyone was excited, but respected this important moment. " Mom, what about our guest, this so wrong! I'm being very rude." Esme and Bella shared a laugh. " Nessie I will handle it." Bella told her. Bella told everyone as soon as the babies were born, she would call them. Everyone who knew the truth either stayed or went back home.
"Where is she! How is she doing? Is she hurting bad!" Jacob raced into the house.
" Jake, calm down. Everything is just starting, your going to be in this for a long time. Just relax. Carlisle is on his way from the hospital. Edward will be here soon, Esme, and Bella are with Nessie. They are getting her prepared." Alice told him.
" Thank-you Alice. I guess you are right. I wont do any good to her nervous, or worried. I'm going to head up stairs."
Rosalie, Tatiana, Isabelle had clean and put all the gifts in nursery. The house was back to normal. Daphne, Angela, getting towels, and medical supplies together. " This is so exciting mom. Nessie is finally having the babies. I'm excited for her and Jacob." Angela agreed.
" Mom, Where the hell is Jacob! "
"I'm right here Nessie. I won't leave your side not one moment. I promise." Jacob told Nessie.
" You better not this all your fault!"
Esme, Bella, Alice, the rest of the ladies laughed. " She doesn't mean it Jake. Women say these things
when going into labor." Bella explained to him.
" Yeah I know. I really wish I could do something."
" We all do, but she is for the long haul. All of us. These three are not going to be here, until tomorrow and the next day." Alice explained.
"TWO DAYS OF THIS! ARE YOU KIDDING ME! THESE THREE BETTER HURRY UP! THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL, I CAN DO TWO DAYS OF LABOR! WHERE IS CARLISLE!"
Carlisle was coming up the stairs, opened the door. " Well Nessie I see you know how to crash a party. Let me take a look at far you are." Carlisle check Nessie. My sweet granddaughter, you are only 2 cm. I'm going to break your water., give you something for the pain. Jacob, the best thing for you do is support her. These three little are going to come when they are ready."
Everyone left the room except Jacob, while Carlisle broke Nessie's water. When he was done, Bella walked back in with Edward,.
" How are you Jake?" Edward asked.
" Right now I'm good, Nessie, is good. She is on 2 cm. Alice says day after tomorrow the babies will be here."
" That what Bella told me. Nessie , sweetheart, how are you?"
" I'm better now daddy, grandpa gave something for the pain. Jacob is here."
" Good, I have something for you, that might help later. I composed three differing lullaby's for the babies. They each have there own song. "
Nessie started crying. " Than-you daddy."
"You are welcome. Your mom and you have your own, I couldn't let my grand children not have one."
"How does it feel to become a grandparents Bella and Edward." Jacob asked.
" Good, I'm glad you two waited so long., but she will forever be my little girl , mo matter how old she gets."
" Jake! Come closer I'm having a another contraction." Nessie told Jake.
Jake came closer, and grabbing my hand, " Breathe, Nessie. I'm right here. I promise I wont leave your side for moment." it was nice to hear those words knowing Jacob was so supportive. I just hoped he was strong enough to last the next two days.
Everything calmed down for long time, Nessie was sleeping, Carlisle told us that would be the thing for her, since she had a long way to go. When Nessie, slept so did Jacob. When she would have contraction, he would be right there. Morning was coming, and no baby yet. Ethan, Tatiana, Isabelle, came over to see how everyone was doing, Bella Edward, and I decided to go hunting but not far. Bella insisted she close incase anything happened.
" Bella , can ask you something?"
" Sure Angela. What is it?
" Did you ever think about what you, might have missed being human?
Bella stopped walking, thought about her best friend's question. Memories of the first twenty years started flashing in her mind. Moving from out of the united States, to different countries, going to school over and over again, her parents passing away, them never knowing Nessie was really their grand child. But then a smile started. She did get to have a beautiful daughter, she was spending eternity, with the love her life, never having to worrying about dying, or getting old as she feared, and dying. No Bella loved and cherished her life as immortal.
" Angela, in all honesty, no there isn't anything that I miss. I'm with Edward and my family. I do admit I hated the fact that I couldn't be here for either of my parent's funerals, but in knew in time they would pass away and I'd still be here. Nessie was unexpected, , I wouldn't have done anything different. So no, there isn't anything that I miss being human. Why do you ask, are you missing something or someone."
Angela knew she couldn't lie to her best friend, With Nahuel asking her to become his wife/mate for eternity, there was one thing she would never get that Bella did get. Even though it sounded silly, Every girl who walks down the aisle to get married , dreams of her father giving her away, Angela wouldn't get that chance..
"I don't know if this is going to sound silly, but Your dad was able to walk down the aisle and give away to Edward, He was there to see his daughter to get married, start her new life as a grown woman. I wont get that special moment. I just wondered who would walk me down, when that day comes for Nahuel and I."
Bella understood and felt what Angela was talking about. But she assured her , that when it came time for the moment, There would be someone there, to walk her down and give her away. Whoever it was, they would be just like a father, heck it didn't even have to be a man it could be woman since this was such a different era. " Ladies, you know I can read, and hear the conversation that was held. Angela me being from a time were giving a daughter away was a father's proudest moment, meant a lot. I'm sure Alice, as seen who is giving you away. Trust me,, when that day comes, You will be happy, and your parents will be watching over you." Edward assured me.
With the words of comfort from, my best friends, I let the matter drop. Now was happy time, Nessie was having the babies, Running back to the house, Daphne greeted us at the door. She told us Carlisle was thinking of doing a c-section due to Nessie, running a slight fever. Bella, Edward, went into the room where their daughter was to talk things over. Once the decision was made they came out and told us, that they were going to give Nessie four more hours, if she hadn't pushed out one the babies a c-section would happen, they didn't want to risk harm to the babies or infection setting in. Alice came out of no where really excited.
" I CAN SEE EVERYTHING! MY NIECES & NEPHEW ARE COMING! I'M SO GLAD!
We could everything that was being said in the room. From them telling Nessie, to push and breathe, Jacob was getting excited, with him getting excited that excitement fell into everyone else.
" Baby A, has arrived, she is beautiful! She weights 5lbs 6oz. 21 inches long, born at 7:43 am. February 20th. 2080. There was silence, for a total of fifteen minutes. Baby B, born 7:58 am, weighing in at 5lbs, 2oz, 19 inches. She has a set of lungs on her, Carlisle yelled. Bella came rushing out, yelled for Alice, Rosalie, and Edward. Something, was wrong the third baby wasn't getting air, and Nessie was losing too much blood. We all sat down hoping for the best while Rose and Alice tended to the other two babies. And hour later, Edward left the room, racing to the emergency room. He had Baby C, something was not right. Jasper followed him, and so he could help. Bella, Jacob stayed behind. With Nessie. The hours went by slowly, and we didn't know what think or say, all we could do was hope for the best. Bella left the room rushing to nursery, Jacob stayed behind with Nessie. After a short time, Bella came downstairs to inform everyone what happened.
" Everyone, thank-you so much for staying, The babies are beautiful and strong. Baby C, had a little trouble breathing, but he is perfectly fine thanks to Edward and Jasper. Nessie is sleeping will be for some time. Carlisle had to do a hysterectomy, she was losing too much blood, and he said even if she were to get pregnant again she would , lose the baby or die. Jacob, Edward and I decided it was best. Jacob is with her , when she wakes up he will let her know what happened. Baby C weighed 4lbs 9oz 18 inches long born at 8:10am. The two girls are beautiful our son is handsome too. Two have black hair, one with dark brown, skin complexion is light for now. You are all more then welcome to go see them."
Everyone was excited to visit the new little ones, two people at a time, went in the babies were precious. The next day Nessie, woke up. She wanted to see her daughters, but Carlisle told her she had to get up and walk around first, Nessie got up and walked directly to where her daughters were. Carlisle was impressed. He didn't even worry about her health anymore.
" Wow, I can't believe these three are here. You know little angels I hoped for so long that you would make into this world and family safe. Now that you three are here , I'm so happy. I couldn't ask for anything more."
" Nessie you did wonderful, Did Carlisle tell what happened after our last daughter was born?"
" Yes, I'm fine with that. I didn't want to have anymore children after these three. I just hope you are not upset."
" Nessie, I have four the most beautiful girls in this world. How could I be upset, what is important is that you and our girls are safe, healthy. That is what is most important." The two of them shared a caring loving kiss. " Now which one of you beautiful angels , is making it possible for Alice to see everything clear now?" Jacob laughed, cause he knew Alice was overjoyed to be able to see everything clearer now. "Nessie, I think we can wait on that one, I really think we need to name our daughters' they haven't been given any names."
" What do you think of the names, Isis Rose Black, Syndal Lynn Black, Jaden Lynn Black?"
" I think they are perfect, different, and beautiful. I have nick names for them all Issy, Syn, Jaden. But right now I think it's time to feed our three angels. "
Esme walked in the nursery, with the bottles.
" Are they drinking milk or blood?' Nessie asked.
" Milk and blood mixture. This is something new your grandpa is trying. They wouldn't take either one alone, So we combined them, they love it. Especially baby A."
" Oh grandma, we have named them. You will be first to know them. Baby A, Isis Rose, she is named after Rosalie, Syndale Lynn is baby B, she is named after Jakes great grandmother, and Baby C is named Jaden Lynn he deserved a good strong name , especially after everything he has been through."
" Those are beautiful names. I'm sure everyone will approve. I know you want to help feed your daughters', You need to sit. We don't want you over doing yourself."
Nessie sat down in one of the rocking chairs, Jacob, handed her Syndal gave her a baby bottle. " Hello Syndal Lynn Black, I'm your mom, I'm very happy you are here along with your two sisters, Isis, and Janelle. You three are very special, you have such a huge family who wants to meet you three."
When the babies were all feed and changed, Carlisle, entered the room, told Nessie why he had to what he did, hoped she wouldn't be upset. He also told her that the babies were growing like her, when she was born. That they figured out Isis, was the baby who was making it able for Alice to see everyone , When Rose left the room, with Isis, Alice's vision became blurry, and couldn't see . Carlisle didn't know if the other two had any special powers, or were shape shifters, like Jacob. He was waiting for them to get a few more days older to run blood work. Nessie, walked back to her room, where Bella, Angela, Daphne, Tatiana, had cleaned up, were waiting for her. Jacob, gave a Nessie a kiss, told her he was going to let the pack, know that she had babies. Everything was fine they could come visit in couple days.
" Hi everyone, thank-you all so much, for sticking around, now that the girls are here, I think, I should tell you their names. We have Isis Rose, Syndal Marie, Jaden Lynn, all named after important people in our lives"
" I love those names, Especially Isis, and Syndal, very different. I know Rose will be pleased too." Bella commented.
"How are you feeling Nessie? " Daphne asked.
" I'm doing good. Grandpa , told me I'm healing fast, but I should still take it easy. But how can I , I have three beautiful daughters who need there mom."
" You are right, but with all of us around to help, you don't have to worry." Tatiana assure her friend.
" Where is Rosalie, and Isabelle? I thought they would be here along with Alice?"
" They were here, they went baby shopping and clothes shopping for Ethan." Bella explained.
" Why clothes shopping for Ethan, Did something happen?"
"No, and yes, Ethan has picked his date to be become immortal. The date is set for himself to be changed. it's going to be May 18th, in four month."
" That is wonderful! I'm so happy for you both." Nessie told her.
" Daphne , how are things with you and Paul?"
" They're great, Your dad, and grandpa are trying to figure out a glitch, other then that were good. I do miss Zafrina though."
" I hope they are ok. "
" Girls, I don't mean to rain the party, but this young lady needs rest, you three have plenty of time to talk later." Angela addressed them.
" Your right mom, Nessie , Tatiana and I will be back either later today or tomorrow. Get some rest. " Daphne told her.
Both girls gave her a hug raced out the room. Bella and Angela stayed a few more minutes then left when Nessie fell asleep fast.
