Our Little Girl
Chapter 12Epov
Today was the day we find out what were having. Over the last two months everything was crazy. Me and Bella have been running Marcus' business and I've been working at the hospital and Bella was also running her restaurant, although Alice was doing more there. When Bella got out the letter of how much money she received, well she nearly gave herself a heart attack. The money was nearly $16 million in the one account. There's no telling how much she will receive from the companies profits. And Lexi had enough money to go to college ten times over. I pulled up outside the hospital and made my way to Bella's side. I opened her door and we walked into the hospital and made our way towards the maternity ward. We checked in and the nurse told us it sit for a moment. Not five minuets later we were in the exam room waiting for Carlisle and the technician Aimee.
"How much do you want to bet it's a girl?" I asked Bella. She just laughed at me and shook her head.
"It's a boy, I'm telling ya. I always dream about a boy so it just has to be" she said. I shook my head 'no' to her in denial. I'm having another girl I can just feel it.
Carlisle and Aimee came in then and started doing the same old routine. Weighing Bella and taking her blood pressure and finally the scan. I had noticed over the last week that Bella was bigger than she should be, but her being only 5ft 6 kinda makes sense. I was brought back when Carlisle and Aimee both gasped. They both hade looks of confusion on the faces and that got me worried. I looked at the screen and a gasp escaped my own mouth. That's not possible what I was seeing.
"Edward what's going on, is there something wrong with the baby?" Bella asked with a worried voice. I looked back at her. I couldn't even tell her what was going on.
"Bella, it appears we have missed a very important detail about you're pregnancy" Carlisle said to her. I was trying to wrap my head around everything. How the hell did we not see this?
"What the hell is going on Edward, Carlisle? Will someone explain to me please?" Bella asked impatiently.
"Bella you're not having one baby but two. You're having twins Bella" Carlisle said to her calmly. Bella looked at him like he was crazy.
"We only ordered one Carlisle. And there cant be any room in my belly for two kids no way" she shaked her head at him. Carlisle's face held amusement at probably both our facial expressions.
"How exactly did we miss this?" I asked them both.
"Well it appears this little guy here" Aimee said to us, pointing to the left side of the screen where our baby was "Was being protective and hiding this little one. It's not the first time this has happened. Many people who are having twins might not even know it until there nearing there third trimester" she said to Bella.
"O…Kay. Emm do you know the sex of them?" she asked a bit dazzed. She's not the only one there. Aimee nodded her head and looked back at the screen. She hit some keys and then turned back to us with a smile.
"Would you like to know the sex of baby number 1 or number 2?" she asked us.
"Both" we said at the same time.
"Well number 1 is a girl and number 2 is a boy. It looks like your having one of each Edward, Bella congratulations. How many photos do you guys want?" she said to us. I looked at Bella and shrugged my shoulders. We had already discussed this.
"Um… well there's me and Edward we want three, Edward's parents so that's two more, Rose and Em that's one more, Alice and Jasper another one and my dad so that's what eight. So could we have nine just in case please?" Bella asked Aimee, who nodded her head she first toke measurements of both babies and made sure they were both healthy before she started printing. Bella looked at me and I could see the worry in her eyes. I toke her in mine and started rubbing soothing circles on it. It was calming both her and myself down as intended. I didn't notice Aimee leaving the room or placing the photos infront of us.
"Edward I'm sure you know what I'm going to tell Bella about what she needs to do so I'll just leave you to alone for now" Carlisle said as he left the room.
"Twins" was all Bella said to me looking at the sonograms. I breathed in deeply and looked at her.
"What can I say Bella my little men do there job?" I said to her smirking. She laughed at me and hit my chest playfully.
"Seriously Edward how the fuck are we going to two newborns and a four year old at the same of everything else that's going on in our fucking lives?" she said to me and I understood her point.
"I don't know B. Were just going to have to take everything a day at a time. No stressing understand?" I replied, pointing my finger at her. She smiled and nodded her head at me. I leaned over and kissed her softly. I heard the door open and looked to see Carlisle coming back in. he smiled at us and toke a seat beside the exam table.
"So big surprise huh?" he asked us with a smile. I merely nodded at him, but not Bella.
"Are you serious. Carlisle how the hell are well only finding out about this baby now? How could we have not seen him or her or whatever one it was until now?" she asked in full rant mode. All she needs now is the steam coming out of her ears.
"Well Bella it's like Aimee said. Sometimes it's even possible not knowing until giving birth even. This happens the majority of the time, one of the babies is being 'hidden" he said using quotas "by the other baby and you would never know. Lucky for us the babies were both moving during the exam and that's how we now know about the two of them"
"Okay… so lets just to be for sure now Carlisle that there's not a third one hiding out in there 'coz if there is me and you" Bella said pointing a finger at Carlisle and then herself " are going to have some serious problems" I was now trying desperately to stop from bursting out laughing and from the looks of it so was Carlisle. Bella's face was one of seriousness.
"Don't worry Bella there's not a third one hiding out in there, your to small for triplets" Carlisle said to her after a few moments. I was shaking with silent laughter and that drew Bella's attention to me. I stopped laughing so I'd be able to see my kids born.
"You think this is funny Edward Anthony? Because I don't see what's so funny about me carrying around your spawns. So what's so funny?" she asked with a murderous look in her eyes. I gulped, loudly I might say. I started shaking my head at her.
"No not at all love. I was…um…yeah…no it's not funny" I said to her. Carlisle was pressing his lips together to keep from laughing.
"Didn't think so" Bella told me with a smug smile on her face. "So Carlisle can I leave now I really need some ice-cream"
"Yes you can Bella. And congratulations on a baby number 2" he said to her giving her a kissed on the cheek. Then he turned to me and said the same about baby number 2 and gave me a very manly one armed hug. Bella and I left the hospital and headed to the supermarket to get her, her ice-cream. We ended up buying a whole load of shit that she started to crave for like her pickles and jalapeños. We arrived home to all the families car sitting there except Charlie's. Bella still hadn't forgiven him yet. He's lucky to be even getting a picture.
"Lets have some fun" Bella said turning to me with a mischievous smile in her face.
"What is that evil mind of yours thinking of B?" I asked her slowly. Knowing her it wasn't going to be good.
"Lets pretend that we weren't able to find out the sex of the baby and then just blurt out something about having twins. Whatcha say you wanna fuck with them?" Bella said to me. I knew it wouldn't be good. This is going to end up in a disaster.
"Fine, but if they ask I'm saying it was your idea"
"I don't care as long as I get my fun. Now I'm going to say a few words that aren't kind so remember that you love me"
We walked into the house, well I did Bella actually stomped her way in with the same look she had on earlier that was for me.
"There back. So what is it boy or girl?" asked Alice. Where the hell did she come from? Better yet were was my little girl? "She's upstairs asleep" Alice said looking at me. Talking about freaky, but it was Alice.
"We weren't able to find out because the little bugger is covering up" Bella said with tears now in her eyes as she sat down in her favourite loveseat. Oh she was good, she deserved an Oscar. I decided I might as well play along.
"Baby, we can find out at a later date" I told her. Bella glared at me.
"I wanted to find out today you idiot" that was her not so kind word. It toke everything in me not to laugh. By now everyone was in the sitting listening to our conversation.
"B, there's no need to get so angry. We can find out next time" there were tsk sound
from someone and some oh uh's from somebody else.
"Edward this is important I wanted to know so I could start on the nursery" she said now sniffling into my shirt. I rubbed her back and rolled my eyes to keep up with the charade.
"Bella what did Carlisle say?" Rose asked her softly, trying not to upset her. Huh it must be working.
"Well there was something strange at the start, but I'll get back to that. Umm…anyway he said that the babies were grand just that I still hadn't gained enough weight for his liking" nobody noticed that she said babies, not even my mother or Alice.
"So what are you going to do now?" Alice asked her.
"I don't know maybe do the nursery in a neutral colour for both sexes. Were going to have to get the twins both sets of colours since there boy and girl ya know?" Bella replied with a shrug of her shoulder and looking like everything was normal. Everyone was gaping at us and there was complete silence. My mom, Alice and Emmett were the first ones to break the silence.
"Twins" they all shouted at us.
"Oh yeah didn't I tell you Edward and I are having twins apparently weird huh?" Bella said as if it was common news.
"Your kidding?" asked Emmett.
"Nope Carlisle confirmed it today. One of them was hiding behind the other. Isn't that just the cutest thing?"
The rest of the day went with us showing each of our kids in the sonogram, getting congratulations from everyone. Telling Lexi she was getting both a sister and brother. And also picking out names. We were in bed when our new daughters name felt perfect our son however we were having difficulty with.
"How about Justin?" I asked.
'To common" she said shaking her head "And I remember correctly that I get to name our first boy" she said making me remember that very conversation.
"Do you have anything in mind love?" I asked her. She nodded her head ducking it slightly. I could see the blush already full on her checks. "Well what is it?"
"Anthony Harrison Masen"
"Thank you baby but you don't need to name him after me and my grandfather. Shit I'm shocked you even remember his name I love you" I kissed her softly on the head.
"So we now have both names correct?" I asked her.
"Yup" was her simple reply as she snuggled closer into me.
I thought over both names and couldn't help but smile at them.
Anthony Harrison Masen
