Surprise

Rose and I sat on my bed, chatting while watching Stick It. She had three more days until the baby was due. Today was a Friday so everyone was at school. Brittany had gone for a hunt to keep her energy up. I could have gone to school, but I wanted to keep Rose company, so I had my family say I was working on my music.

"Do you think I'll be a good mother Bella?" she asked out of the blue.

"Of course you will Rose. What would make you ask that?" I asked, pausing the movie.

"I'm just worried, I mean, I've never done this before. What if I'm all wrong for it?" she asked looking down at her huge stomach.

"Listen to me Rose," I said taking her hand. "You are going to be an amazing mother. I know you are. I don't ever want to hear about you doubting yourself, even for a second," I said, giving her a hug.

"Thankyou Bella. You always know what I need," she said.

"You're welcome Rose," I said finally letting her go.

When I let go of her she put her hand on her lower stomach, "ouch," she moaned.

"You ok?" I asked putting my hand on her arm.

"Yeh I'm fine. Probably just normal pains. Don't worry about it," she said.

I wasn't convinced, so I looked into the future and gasped.

"Rose, that wasn't just any pain. That was a contraction. You're going to have a baby within the next half hour," I said calmly.

"What?" she asked franticly. "I don't know what to do. What if something goes wrong?" she asked, her stress levels on high.

"Rose, listen to me," I said, grabbing both her arms gently. "You need to calm down. Everything is going to be fine. I delivered Sophie, I can deliver your baby to," I said looking her in the eyes. "But I need you to calm down. It's not good for the baby if you are stressed. So I need you to calm down, and I need you to trust me."

"Ok," she said nodding.

"Stand up slowly, I have to go get something," I said before dashing into my closet.

I came back with a big pink fluffy bathrobe and some blankets.

"Put the robe on and take off your shorts, then lie down comfortably on the bed," I instructed her, turning to give her some privacy.

Once she had the robe on I turned around to help her to lie down. When she was comfortable, I sat down on the bed next to her and held her hand.

"I'm not ganna lie Rose, this will hurt. But I'll be sending you waves of calm and healing, which should help. Squeeze my hand as hard as you need to, it wont hurt me. And Rose, You're ganna do great," I said, giving her a reassuring smile.

She nodded and closed her eyes.

I looked into the future every few minutes to see what was going to happen. After a particularly bad contraction I looked down at her. "After this next contraction you're going to have to push. I'm going to hold you hand so it will be easier for both you and the baby. You can do this," I said.

"Thankyou," she said before she screamed in pain.

I sent a healing wave to her to make the process easier, "it's time Rose."

She nodded and started to push. I held her hand the whole time, taking the pain away. When the baby was out I reached down and picked him up in a warm blanket. He had his fathers frame and nose, with his mothers hair, and what I can only imagine where her piercing blue eyes. Rose wrapped the nightgown around herself and I wrapped the little boy up securely.

"Congratulations. You are the proud mother of a beautiful boy," I said, handing the baby over to her.

She looked at her little baby and hugged him close to her chest, closing her eyes.

"Thankyou so, so, so much Bella. This is more than I could ever wish for," she said giving me a one armed hug.

"My pleasure," I said hugging both of them. "I'm ganna go get him some food."

"Thanks," she said looking back down at her baby smiling.

I ran downstairs to the kitchen. Finding the supply of animal blood, I filled a bottle and heated it up. When it was at the perfect temperature, I took it off the heat and ran upstairs.

Rose was sitting better now, with the baby cradled in her arms. "You look perfect together," I said walking over.

I sat down on the bed next to her and handed her the bottle. She looked at me weirdly.

"Trust me, it's the only thing he'll drink. We had this problem with Sophie," I said. She nodded and started feeding him. The adoring smile still not leaving her lips.

"Have you thought of any names yet?" I asked as she feed him.

"There is one name I can't get out of my head," she said, looking over at me.

"Well what is it? After all, no one knows a child like their mother," I said looking down at the baby boy.

"Andrew Emmett McCarthy Cullen. Andy for short," she said, smiling wider at her little boy.

"Andy. It has a nice ring to it," I said with a smile. "Hello Andy," I said smiling down at him. He pushed the bottle out of his mouth and smiled back at me.

"Andy it is then," she said smiling. Andy smiled back at her, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Rose and I sat there smiling down at the sleeping baby for a few minutes before Rose spoke up. "Of course, you'll be the God Mother," she said.

"Me?" I asked shocked. "But what about Alice or Esme. You live with them, wouldn't you want them to be the God mother?" I asked, shocked, but incredibly happy.

"Of course not. You're the reason that I have a son. You're the one who helped me deliver my baby. You are going to be the God mother," she said hugging me with one arm. I put my arms around both of them and hugged them tightly.

"Would you like some mother son bonding time?" I asked when we broke apart.

"Don't be stupid. You are staying right here with me until everyone else gets back," she said with a very stern expression.

I laughed and sat back down on the bed. We talked about everything and anything. I made sure she knew what to expect and what to do about certain things. We were chatting aimlessly when we herd the Hunter and Cullen cars pull up in the drive way.

"Show time," I said, smiling down at Andy, who was smiling at Rose, playing with some of her hair.

I heard everyone enter the house and start talking. "I'm ganna check on Rose," Emmett said. "I'll come with you," Esme said.

I was playing with one of Andy's hands, Rose holding the other when I herd the door open. "How ar…"

I looked up to see Emmett standing in the doorway with a stunned expression, Esme just behind him.

Andy turned around to look at them and smiled.

Emmett was at Rose's side in a second hugging both of them. I got off the bed and walked over to Esme.

"What happened?" Emmett asked, looking from rose to me, and back again.

"I went into labour early. Bella stayed with me and helped me deliver Andy," Rose said with a proud smile.

"Thankyou Bella," Emmett said smiling at me.

"Your welcome," I said, with the biggest smile on my face.

"Would you like to hold our son?" Rose asked, Holding Andy up to Emmett. Emmett took him gently in his arms and smiled at him.

By now, the rest of the family had come up to see what was going on. When they saw Emmett holding Andy they stopped in their tracks.

"Rose gave birth?" Clara asked, before she ran over and started talking with Rose. Damien also came into the room and started talking.

"Ok, everyone besides those five," I said pointing to the five in the middle of room, "out."

We all exited the room, leaving the parents to talk.

When we were outside the room with the door shut Ryan turned to me. "What happened?"

"Rose went into labour early. I had no choice but to deliver the baby," I said, giving him a kiss on the check. "There is nothing my girl can't do," he said, giving me a much deeper kiss.
