DISCLAIMER: ETHAN IS MINE and Alice's babies are MINE! Everyone else is not!

Chapter 5: Birth and Grandparents

"JASPER YOUR GONNA BE A DADDY!"

Alice screamed at the top of her lungs.

I winced covering my ears when Alice shouted to Jasper. I looked over to Ethan surprised he was still asleep. Just as I looked at Alice again Jasper came in a slightly worried expression on his face. A rather uncommon occurrence for my brother! He was always so composed. "Alice? I know…but do you mean…like right now?" Clearly he had an idea of why she might call him so desperately when he was only in the other room.

"Yes Jasper I mean RIGHT NOW. My water broke, you need to take me to the hospital…now…" Alice was giving him the glare of all glares her hand around he stomach.

"Right….Hospital…doctor, bag…Alice…babies…daddy!" Jasper said going back and froth from the phone to Alice. Trying to fuss over her while also getting things ready to go. While I was a bit nervous myself knowing my friend and sister in law was going into labor, my excitement over shadowed it. Besides I was trying not to laugh at my brothers actions.

My dad walked in watching Jasper for a moment. I could see the hint of amusement in his gaze before he decided to help out his son. "Stop Jasper. Call her doctor first then go get he bag." He commanded putting a hand on his shoulder. "R-Right I knew that!" He said rushing to the phone. Clearly needing a little push in the right direction.

Dad sighed shaking his head before walking over and sitting on the other side of Alice."Ready to have my grand babies Alice?" He asked kissing her cheek gently. She smiled at him a moment before nodding slightly as well. For once it was obvious she too was a bit worried however I'm sure it was simply the fact they were early and since she had complications early on. Either way it was happening and she was ready I was sure of it.

"Do not worry about Jasper, he will calm down when the time comes…should of seen me when Renee was pregnant with the kids…oh goodness…she was nearly popping Jasper out in the car!"

"Dad! To much information! I do not need to hear out Jasper was almost born there!" Jasper was five minutes older then Emmett. On top of that he was apparently a very small baby so that help quicken the process. Again way more information then I wanted about my older brothers births. They had also gone into detail about Emmett's birth following and I would love to simply forget both.

Alice nodded in agreement to what he has said."Alice! How far apart are they?" Jasper asked quickly and Alice winced as she had another contraction. "Nine minutes." She responded. So she clearly had some idea that it might be the real deal if she had been timing them enough to know that information.

Alice was going to have a C section so she should be getting to the hospital soon. Alice refused to birth though I knew partly she was only joking. She wanted to do what was best for her babies and that is what she felt. Even if she would have a scar from the C-section she said it would be worth it. Doctors agreed it would be better to have the C-section since she had a few problems in the start of the pregnancy. Alice simply believed the doctors were simply giving her what she wanted. Either way she was okay with the situation of having a C section. I think she simply said these things to make herself less nervous about having a major surgery.

Jasper smiled and nodded slightly. "A-Alright." He spoke a few more minutes before hanging up. "He said we should head to the hospital." Jasper went up the steps to get Alice's hospital bag, which was more like a suitcase.

"I am going to get Ethan up and get him in his car seat. I will meet you guys at the hospital alright?" I asked as Jasper came down with the bag. Emmett came in and picked Alice up. I was surprised he did that on his own without any prompting.

"Alright Bella…see you soon." Alice smiled before nodding slightly. Her arms wrapping around Emmett's neck after a moment. "Dad? I think you should go with them…Jasper looks ready to have a heart attack." I said looking at him a moment. He had placed the bag by the door as he paced around the room looking for the set of keys which happened to be on the key hook by the door where they always were.

"Of course Bella…I will probably put him in the back with Alice and dive." He grinned before kissing my cheek and going to open the door for Emmett so he could get Alice to the car. Grabbing the car keys as he walked by holding them high for Jasper to see before heading out the door. "Emmett? You ridding with me?"I asked quickly.

"yeah Bella meet you at your car." He gave me a grin before heading out to Jasper's car.

When Jasper realized Dad had the keys he took a small breath, still looking flustered as he walked over to me.

"Jasper calm down everything is fine."

"But Bella, they are early! Allot of bad things can happen if there early…and..and I don't know how to be a father. I am not ready for this! I have never done this before!"

"The doctor said they would probably come early, I am sure they will be fine. Oh and Jasper it is too late to worry about that because whether your ready or not there coming As for you not knowing how to be a father, I did not know how to be a mother or raise a child but here I am with Ethan. You will know when you hold them the first time you will know how to care for them. Now go and be with your wife! Dad is driving."

I patted his shoulder gently and he nodded slowly "Alright Bella…if…while Alice is still resting when we come back…could I call you if I needed any help?" He asked softly looking into my eyes and I nodded. "Yeah sure call when ever you need but worry about that when they are born okay? Right now you need to help Alice through this. All you have to do is calm down, she is already nervous enough. Ill be at the Hospital soon."

He nodded. "Thanks Bells, Love you." He said giving me a quick one armed hug before running out to the car lugging the suitcase behind him.

I rolled my eyes slightly then turned to were Ethan was sleeping and smiled when I seen he was awake. "Hey buddy. Were going to the hospital okay? Auntie Alice is gonna have her babies okay?" Ethan nodded tiredly rubbing his eyes with his good hand.

I walked over scooping Ethan up and brought him out to the car. I really would need to find another car…unless Jacob could fix this up for me. I could always pay Billy for it. I would have to figure that out soon. I made a quick stop to my house and got a few juice boxes for Ethan and a few toys he could play with as well before strapping him into the car.

"See you soon ALICE!" I called waving to the car as they drove by. Emmett soon climbed into the passengers seat and grinned slightly.

"Still wearing your birthday hat Ethan?" He asked looking at Ethan and smiling.

"YUP!" He giggled playing with his hat a moment before fixing it. His bronze hair sticking out in all directions. I was glad Ethan seemed to enjoy Emmett's company more now then he seemed to before.

As I was diving toward the hospital I turned the radio on for Ethan.

"Hey Bella? Remember Carlisle Cullen? The one at the hospital in Seattle?" I nodded once. "Yeah I remember why?"

"Well his family moved to Forks a little bit before you found Ethan and he was finishing up his last shift there, and stayed on for the rest of the week to get Ethan better. He did not want to make him get used to another doctor halfway through...anyway he works at the hospital in Fork's now." Emmett said confidently.

"How do you know this Emmett?" I asked curiously. It seemed to be allot of information for Emmett to randomly know. Even if he had spoken to Dr. Cullen at the hospital.

"Oh well, do you remember that jeep contest? Well the girl Rosalie Hale is their niece and lives with them. We went on a date last Wednesday you remember? Well she was a total bitch at some points but I just love being around her…anyway." I smiled a little when he did not explain any further when it She was telling me about her family. I figured I would tell you since it was such a big coincidence" He nodded slightly. "I only remembered because we are headed there now." He mused to himself.

"Hmm…maybe I will see more of him then…I'm always there for one reason or another." I said with a sheepish smile before shrugging again. It was the truth. I had broken more bones then I care to remember and had needed plenty of stitches. I grew up with two older brothers and we always were on the Rez hanging out with Jacob and the gang so I tended to get hurt more often then not. Not so much now but I was still clumsy.

"Yeah probably." He shrugged.

"Hey Emmett? Do you remember what he said his sons name was?" I asked tilting my head slightly. Remembering he had mentioned his son who had gone missing during the war. It had been bothering me for a couple weeks now, trying to remember.

"Um…yeah I think it was Edwin.. No wait it was Edward…. Why do you ask Bella?"

My eyes went wide for a moment. Edward. That was the name Ethan had given for his father. Could it be the same man? I shook my head slightly. Couldn't be…could it? I mean I remember Dr. Cullen saying Ethan looked allot like his son had when he was the same age, but really I doubted that there was any real connection...

"oh nothing…I just have to ask Dr. Cullen something if I happen to run into him." I said quietly as I drove toward the hospital, soon pulling into the lot and looked around a moment before spotting Jasper's car.

I picked Ethan up before following Emmett inside. Ethan's head pressed against my chest. He was still tired. He was so tired he did not even react when they walked into the hospital. He did not like the hospital at all. Doctors, besides Dr. Cullen tended to scare him a bit. Either way he simply rested his eyes as I carried him inside.

I followed Emmett to the Labor and delivery ward. We were allowed into Alice's room, where they were starting prep for her C-section. I walked over and hugged her tightly before speaking to her.

"Excited Alice?" I asked smiling.

"Yeah…but scared too you know?" She said gently. Emmett was in the corner with Jasper giving him some type of pep talk but it just looked like Emmett was making it worse. Jasper had a frown on his face and wagged his finger slightly before groaning and stomping away. I had not heard one word of their conversation but I had my ideas.

Me and Alice talked for a bit but she was soon wheeled to the OR so she could have her babies.

I patted Jasper on the shoulder when he came out in scrubs. I kissed his cheek. "everything will be fine…do not worry. Just be ready to hear two screaming babies." I teased softly.

"Yeah…right…I can do that…" Jasper said nodding slightly before going to follow after Alice quickly.

I went with Emmett into Alice's room to wait for her to return, they had said it was fine for now.

After a little while I felt the urge to go to the bathroom but I had Ethan who refused to leave my lap, and I was uncomfortable bringing him in the bathroom with me. Even though I would if I really had to.

I frowned a bit before kissing his head. I figured I might as well take a chance with asking. "Hey Ethan can you sit with Uncle Emmett while I go potty?" I asked and he shook slightly but then I was surprised when he nodded.

"You come back?" he asked softly and I nodded. "Of course. I am going right there okay" I said as I pointed my thumb in the direction of the bathroom.

Ethan nodded and crawled into Emmett's lap shaking slightly. I knelt down in front of him and whispered in his ear. "I got some of your toy cars and a track in the bag if you can be quiet maybe you can play? Ask Uncle Emmett if he wants to play?" I said to him softly. He looked slightly surprised but nodded carefully with a small smile.

I kissed his head before running to the bathroom after quickly assuring Ethan I would be right back. Ethan loved his toy cars and played with Emmett before, as long as I was in the room and they were not touching. I was surprised he was letting Emmett touch him I knew he was afraid of men in particular…I could only guess it was his baby like face…or something. Perhaps it was the simple fact he was getting used to his presence. I really did not know why but I knew he was safe with Emmett and Ethan trusted him enough to stay with him for a few minutes while I was gone.

I found the bathroom and did my business before heading back to Ethan when I bumped into someone and fell on my butt. Clumsy remember?

"Oh! I am so sorry I was not watching where I was going…" A women said as she reached out her hand to help me up. "Oh um…its fine, I was in a hurry and not paying attention either. Plus I am clumsy.." I added before taking her hand. She had caramel colored hair and bright green eyes…just like Ethan's own eyes. Almost identical to be honest.

I frowned a moment. "Um…this might sound strange…but is your husband Carlisle Cullen?" I paused a moment and added, "and a son named Edward?" I did not want to sound like some freak asking a random woman I ran into...but her eyes were so similar.

She seemed confused but nodded slowly. "Yes…why do you ask dear? My name is Esme by the way." She added quickly. Her face still full of confusion.

"Um…I will tell you but…do you know where Carlisle is…he should hear this too…" I said unsure if I should tell her alone or not. While I did not know Dr. Cullen well I knew him a bit more then this woman at least.

"Carlisle should be here soon…" She said slowly. "But what is it dear, you look woried?" She led me to the chairs and I quietly pulled a picture of Ethan from my purse and showed it to her. Deciding she should have at least some idea of what I was going to be talking about.

Her eyes went wide a moment before she spoke. "Edward…why do you have a picture of Edward?"

I groaned a little. "I guess Carlisle was telling the truth then." I took a deep breath. "This is Ethan…I am his foster parent…his mother and step father were abusing him…his father is unknown but I think I just found out. I think your son…is Ethan's father. Ethan named his puppy Edward and when I asked him he said it was after his father…"I frowned slightly. I was a little upset. While I did want to find his family I was also afraid of what might happen when I did. They could take him away from me. Though I also knew if this was his family they needed to know and have that choice.

Her hand went over her mouth in shock just as Carlisle came around the corner.

He wrapped an arm around his wife kissing her head. "Whats going on love….oh…Hello again Bella how is Ethan doing? How is he healing?" He asked as he held his wife, her face in his chest at the moment.

"He is doing alright…um…Like I said to your wife, I have reasons to believe Ethan is your, grandson. Edward's son." I said looking down a moment. "I did not think much about it when you said Ethan looked like your son…only when Ethan said his dog's name was Edward after his dad. Did I put two and two together. He said his fathers name was Edward. James would say it more then once to him…at least that's what Ethan said. James would tell him he wasn't his real dad..."

I explained once more but before he had a chance to say anything I heard a little voice.

"MISS BELLA!" I turned my head to see Ethan running toward me with tears in his eyes. I stood quickly kneeling on the ground and wrapped my arms around him tightly when he was close enough.

"Whats wrong buddy?" I asked softly rubbing his back as I waited for him to answer. It was not like when he had a melt down but he was clearly upset. Probably about as much as a normal three year old might be over something not in an extreme way.

"I…I sowwy!" He said whimpering into my shoulder.

"What happened Ethan?" I asked again. He sniffled rubbing his eyes. "I…I huwt unkie Emmy…"

I was not sure what he meant but I looked up to see Emmett walking in holding his hand rubbing it slightly. I still held Ethan as I looked at Emmett. "What happened?"

"One of his cars broke and he was upset about it, I told him I would fix it, but when he was handing it to me a piece from the car must of been sharp and poked into my hand I said ow and he ran off…" Emmett explained before getting a Band-Aid and wiped the small spot of blood before sticking it on. I was about to tell Ethan that Emmett was alright but Emmett waved me off.

"Ethan?" He said as he knelt down beside him.

"Look at me? Pwease?" He said in the pathetic Emmett is sad kind of voice which made Ethan look at him slowly, tears still in his eyes.

"See? I all better! It was the cars fault not yours." He said nodding once. "I am fine…but you know what would make me feel even better?" He asked his eyes glistening.

"W-What Unkie Emmy?" Ethan questioned quietly rubbing his eyes again. His tears finally stopping.

"If you would buy me some ice cream!" He grinned widely and Ethan giggled a little. "I gots no money.." He tilted his head. "Ask Miss Bella to borrow some!"

Ethan looked at me giving me a puppy dog face. "Pwease Miss Bella? Unkie Emmy needs ice cweam to feel better!" He said hopping up and down with a small smile. "Alright buddy but you have to get me some too okay? Will you be alright with Unkie Emmy or do you want me to come too?" I asked quietly.

"Um…." He looked afraid but Emmett cut in again. "Lookie here Ethan, this is a cell phone…if you want miss Bella we can call her and she can come and get you alright? We will be back soon though."

Ethan looked at me for confirmation and I nodded. "Okay! I big boy! I twee now!" He gigged and slowly took Emmett's hand as they stated walking toward the cafeteria. Ethan holding a twenty that was in my pocket. I rolled my eyes and smiled, so cute. I was glad that Emmett had been able to comfort him.

I then remembered Carlisle and Esme ad smiled a little. "Uh…sorry about that…of course…um that was Ethan.." I said knowing Carlisle knew and I was pretty sue Esme could tell from the picture.

Esme's eyes were wide as she stared where Ethan had run off with Emmett, and Carlisle was watched his wife.

"That's his son…if I was not Edward's mother I would be sure it was him…he is Edward's child…definitely Edwards…" Esme said slowly looking at me. "When was he born dear?" She asked quietly.

"Three years ago today…" I said quietly.

"Edward went missing three years ago… he had been deployed six months when he went missing…so who ever this child's mother is…" She said quietly and sighed a bit. "Who is his mother?" Esme asked quietly.

"For all intensive purposes I am but his biological mother is Victoria and she married someone named James." I added watching her face as it formed into one of slight anger. "I told him to stay away from her…she was bad news. He had a few dates with her but broke it off…right before he deployed. She must of conceived him then…" She said quietly. "From what Edward told me she sounded like a bitch and when I met her once oh don't even get me started!"

"Why didn't you tell me about this Victoria Esme dear?" Carlisle asked. She shrugged. "You were away on business and I did not think it was important." Esme said not thinking too much about her, but I could tell all her mind was on the boy who had just run down the hall. Her eyes never leaving the hall before finally she tore her eyes away.

Esme reached into her wallet and pulled out a couple photos and handed me the pictures. One was of a small boy around three, the spitting image of Ethan, and then another with a young man in a Uniform for the United States Army. I stared at that picture for who knows how long. He was the hottest man I had ever seen. With the strange bronze and reddish hair and those piercing green eyes, especially in the uniform. Huh…never knew I was one for a man in uniform.

I was taken from my thoughts when Carlisle spoke. "That is Edward…he joined the military when he was eighteen years old and was deployed for three years, coming back now and again. Then he was home for around a year when he decided to re enlist. Everything was fine for six months then two days after his twenty-first birthday which happens to be today…well three years ago it was his twenty-first, today is his twenty-fourth birthday…he went M.I.A and has not been heard of since. At first they said he went A.W.O.L but many fought saying it was not possible he would never abandon his country or his men." Carlisle was rubbing his wife's back gently as he explained, the story obviously effected her greatly.

I nodded slowly as I thought about this man I had never met.

"If he had been there when Ethan was born…I doubt anything that happened to him would of. That Victoria women seems horrible…nah she is horrible… I just wonder if anything would have been different…if he had been around…do you think he knew?" I asked looking at the pair.

Esme shook her head. "I doubt it…if he had know…I do not think he would of reenlisted so soon…or at the very least would have informed us...I am sure he would have been there for his son…" I nodded in agreement. "He seems like that type of man…" I said looking over at her with a small nod.

I turned to look at both of them. "I think you both just became grandparents to a wonderful little three year old. "I said with a worried little smile. I hope it did not look worried but I suppose it did because of what Esme said next."What is wrong?" She asked running her fingers over my cheek. Her eyes watery but she was happy. I could tell. To have a piece of her son. Her son that while I was sure she had hope was still alive did not know for sure.

I was planning to lie, say nothing was wrong but instead it came out in a low whisper. "I am…worried. That if it is proven to be true…which I mean...i don't think will be a big problem...it is obvious...but that your going to take him. The courts said…if the child had relatives then they can take custody…they said Victoria has no family other then an elderly father in a nursing home and a brother who is in the prison system…so that leaves the fathers family…and I am almost positive this is Ethan's father." I motioned to the photo of Edward in my hand.

Carlisle reached his hand out to me and patted my arm to get my attention. I did not realize was looking down with tears in my eyes at the thought of losing Ethan. I never thought I could become so attached to a little boy so quickly. I looked up at him and rubbed my eyes.

"Bella? I do not know about my wife but that week he was in the hospital I saw how attached he became to you…and I am sure Esme could tell in the small interaction you had a moment ago. I could not imagine taking him away from you. Or perhaps I should say take you away from him... Of course…if it is proven we are his grandparents…which has to be through DNA even if we are sure… we would of course want to see him…where is it you live Bella?" He asked curiously. This guy went from one subject to another I answered anyway with a small smile.

"Forks." Though I was still in shock from what he had said moments earlier.

Esme hit him on the shoulder. "Shush. Bella? I do not know what happened to that child.. but I know it was not good. He is close to you and cares. I could never separate you. I would feel horrible…" She said before wrapping her arms around me tightly. I was a little uncomfortable from the contact but I gave her an awkward hug back. "It would simply be as if you were his mother and we were his grandparents..."

Just then though I heard Ethan. "MISS BELLA! ICE CREAM!" He called running over stopping when he seen me and Esme in this position. I released her slowly and sat straight. He immediately climbed into my lap staring at Esme and Carlisle with a rather protective look. Obviously unsure of why I was seemingly upset.

"Why cry?" He asked touching my wet cheek.

"Oh…they are happy tears Ethan…I am happy." I said quietly. He seemed confused but I smiled again. "it is alright." He nodded and hugged me again. "that me?" He asked pointing to the picture of Edward when he was a baby. I shook my head slightly. "It's your daddy…when he was a baby." I told him quietly. I had absolutely no hesitation telling him this.

This was his father no ifs, ands or butts about it.

I then showed him the picture of Edward when he was older. "This is him a few years ago… his name is Edward just like you said." I smiled gently.

Ethan was surprised but I was even more surprised when he turned to me and said. "is he dead like addy ams said?" he asked softly looking at the picture. I was not sure how to answer this but Esme took over. "No…he is not dead. He is just missing for awhile. I am sure he will find his way home again. I just know it…" She smiled gently and Ethan moved a little closer to me.

I nodded when Ethan looked at me. "this is your daddy's mommy…you can call her…grandma?" I knew it sounded like a question but I was not sure what Esme wanted to be called. "amma?" I nodded and her eyes teared up when she heard him. "And that's your daddy's dada…" I said and he nodded. A bit. "Like ampa Charlie?" Ethan asked and I nodded. He was a smart cookie.

"You remember him right? He helped you in the hospital…and made you all better." Ethan nodded with a small smile. "ank you….but I no like octors." He muttered softly before looking down resting against my chest. Carlisle chuckled at this shaking his head a bit.

I took out a pen and scribbled my phone number down handing it to them. "I want to talk some more but my friend is having twins and I need to be in the waiting room but…call me. Please? We need to talk…and get together." I nodded and Esme smiled and when I tried to hand her the photos she shook her head. "keep them…for Ethan. I have tons more at home." She nodded and I smiled. "Thank you…"

She tucked the phone number into her wallet and handed me her number. I could tell she wanted to talk some more but I knew the babies would be delivered soon and I wanted to be there when Jasper came in with the good news.

We said our good byes and went to the hospital room with the ice cream.

We ate and we talk and Ethan fell asleep on the floor wrapped in the blanket I had brought.

I was a reck thinking about Esme and Carlisle, but the truth is I was happy I found them, I just hoped everything they said. Was true, even the part about Edward coming back some day. Ethan needed a father. One could hope right?

"Bella? Your going to fall in love with that picture." Emmett muttered rolling his eyes. I scowled at him and was about to give him my best comeback but the door opened and Jasper was smiling like an idiot.

"I guess I am an Aunty huh?" I said grinning and he nodded.

"One boy…Cody, Girl Madeline and… girl Mariah"

I gasped going to hug him. "Triplets? Seriously?" I said staring and he nodded. "Said the third one.. Mariah was hiding, she is the smallest 2 pounds 14 ounces. Madeline is 3 pounds 5 ounces and Cody is 4 pounds on the dot." I squealed and hugged him tighter.

"Where is Alice?" I asked calmly. "They are bringing her in soon." He said quietly still in his happy place thinking about his wife and children.

Emmett laughed pounding him on the back laughing. "way at go Bro! You sure can make them huh?" Jasper blushed at what he said but then grinned wider. I guess it had not hit him yet that one he was freaking over being a father to two now it was three. Though I think while he was still scared and nervous he was going to be a great father.I could see worry in his eyes for the health of his children but I was sure they would be fine. They were Jasper's and Alice's children. They would be strong. I could tell.

He took out his phone and showed Emmett and I three beautiful photos of his babies. Yes they were small but they were beautiful. No hair and could not tell the eye colors since there eyes were closed. He also had a picture of Alice's face as she seen each child. She was crying and happy. She would probably complain about something involving the pictures later but I don't think she would at first.

I hugged Jasper tighter and he sat down and I sat in his lap like I did as a child. I was glad he was still so much larger then me. "I am so happy for you Jasper. " I said with a smile as I wrapped my arms around him. Sighing softly. If I remained like this I was sure I would fall asleep. Sure enough moments later I drifted off knowing it would not be long before Jasper would have to great his wife and go to his babies. For now I was content in his arms.
