Hello. I know its been a while but like I said I'm a teenager and like most (if not all) teenagers I was grounded. Which meant no computer, television, hanging out...etc.

So this is kind of a filler chapter but things are being set up for the baby's birth, Emmett's career, and a big fight is coming up soon. Will the fight ultimately prove Jasper right about Emmett and Bella?

Anyway... I know this chapter was not part of the choices because I decided to save Bella and Emmett's wedding for the summer but Ashley does come home. I didn't see much in detailing Ashley's homecoming because when my parents welcomed home my little brother (who was premature.) its just really quiet and stressful.

I am going to put a familiar poll back up with modified choices. Check it out!

Review Shoutouts are still going on and so is the Story Banner Contest!

Who would've thought welcoming home Ashley would be such an emotional experience. My mother was in complete tears along with Alice, Bella and Rose. Now me, I don't get emotional when it comes to girl stuff. Of course, I was happy that my baby niece was coming home and would be safe, but it also meant that double date nights and clubbing would have to wait for a long while. Alice would miss this a lot. It was one of the things we talked about on the way to the hospital to pick up Ashley, since Jasper was at work. She held my large hand and I held her tiny one. It scared me at how small it was and how small she was now. Alice really had to bounce back, she was almost invisible. My sister knew how much I cared and let me know that it was alright, especially since my parents were moving in temporarily with Alice and Jasper.

At their house everyone literally held the baby for five minutes before leaving. Alice was dead tired and the baby was asleep so we had to let her rest while she could.

Bella and I arrived home to a quiet house. Kristen and Kellan were asleep in their rooms. I walked into their room with Bella in my arms and just watched them for a little bit. Every now and then I caught my thoughts chasing around the fact that I had two wonderful children. They were mine with Bella. We were about to have another one together too! I don't know how my life could get any better. Well actually it did.

Today, after we left the twin's room, Bella went out to fetch the mail. She just about screamed when she saw an especially large envelope with the words NFL Draft 2009. I think I did too. We opened the letter and sure enough there was an invitation to the top picks ceremony. We were invited with my parents too. Of course this wasn't that big of a surprise to me. My life has been busy but I do make time for sports center. There has been talk about me going to either New York or Chicago. I would love to stay in Chicago with my family so we could be together, but then again New York still has that same feel of the hustle and bustling city. It would truly be amazing to go to either team, and I could support my family truly now. Though some would say its over-pay, it would be me bringing in the money. Not to mention Kellan would be extremely proud that his Emmett is playing in the NFL. I don't know if he would ever let me go anywhere with out him.

"Em, I don't think I can go..." Bella's voice startled me from behind. I felt her hand on my shoulder but slowly brought her towards me. Confusion overcame me as I saw her nervous face. There she went biting on her lower lip and trying not to make eye contact.

"Bella, it's okay tell me why." I said placing my large hands around the sides of her pregnant belly. She pulled away for a second to grab the near chair and pulled it towards me. Bella's small hands grabbed mine and her teeth loosened up on her lip. Then with her blush cascading over her cheeks a small smile pulled up on the corners of her mouth.

"I'll...I'll be having the baby." My mind just about exploded. How could I forget my own child's birth date. I was so selfish! "Em, calm down for a second." Bella said softly, my fear must have been evident on my face. "I'll just be in the hospital. I know you want to be there when the baby's born, but I also know you want to go to the draft. So Em, go to the dinner. I just won't be there with you..maybe. If this little sucker has been waiting for nine months, he can wait one day while their daddy is making us proud."

"Bella, what do you mean maybe?" Of course I was happy, and this thing was in one month. She would have only about one week til the baby would be born, but I guess the twins came early and the doctor expects this little nudger to come early too.

"I'll only have a few days left maybe and last time I was in labor for about two days with your children upstairs!" She said giggling. "Let's just see what the doctor says, but for now plan on taking your sister or Rose." Her hands squeezed mine gently before she attempted to stand up. I had to admit, Bella was huge! But she looked wonderful pregnant...she looked wonderful anyway. I took her hands and hoisted her up and out of her chair. "Em, Rose is coming to take me to the doctor's appointment. I'll ask him then, but in the mean time take care of your little ones up stairs who should be waking up in about fifteen minutes." Bella leaned up to peck my lips before getting her shoes on and heading out to Rose's BMW convertible in the driveway.

Kristen and Kellan were bathed and dressed watching cartoons in the living room. I was getting dressed and ready for a day out with my kids. It would be just the three of us today. Though I was having a hard time picking out what to wear! I mean these were three year old, they don't exactly care how I dress. So I just decided with some jeans and a button down white shirt. We couldn't do much today. It was February and snow was stacked high. I guess this means nothing much but the giant AMC just a few miles from here. I know the kids wanted to see some newer movies. They both were pretty good at sitting down and paying attention. Then after the movies I'd treat them to a fun lunch maybe at a play place followed by a trip to a toy-store or just anywhere they wanted to go.

"Kris,KC...Lets Go!" I said into the room and they ran off to the mud room, right by the garage, for boots, jackets, hats, gloves, scarves and everything they needed to make sure it was alright. After they were dressed like marshmallow children, I checked the back pack for pull-ups, changes of clothes, car toys and everything they would possibly even need during this long day.

"Em, where we going?" KC asked as I backed out of the driveway.

"It's a surprise...well a whole day of surprises!"

"Yay!!" They both said enthusiastically.

We drove in Bella's s.u.v. since it had the car seats. They both seemed happy when I put on a movie on the little screens in front of them. I'm so glad headphones existed, Spongebob's laugh does give you a headache after the twentieth or so episode.

The kid's just about sat through the entire move. Kristen fell asleep in my lap, but Kellan laughed at the funny antics and vibrant colors that moved on the screen. Usually I would sneak into other movies with my friends or Bella, but I know Kellan didn't have it in him and it would just be impossible to keep them interested.

We sat back in the car and Kris was starting to wake up now. We drove to nearest fast food restaurant that had a play place. Bella had these kids trained well. Both of them knew very well that it was eating first then playing. Of course I knew this, but we had never been to a place with play tubes and jungle gyms surrounding them while they ate. I watched them play and took some pictures with my cell phone. Bella enjoyed some that I sent out and she sent me a picture she took of the ultrasound. The kids had to see this.

"Kristen, Kellan! Come here mommy sent a picture!" They hurried their way down slides and large mats before coming to me.

"What daddy?" Kellan said. Daddy....Daddy...Daddy...Daddy I'm a daddy, they called me daddy. I'm a father, they think of me as their father.

"Huh?" I asked shockingly.

"You're daddy Em!" Kristen said.

"You want me to be your daddy?" I asked them as I slowly gathered them into a hug.

"Please Em."

"Be Daddy!" Their pleading made me tear up. I can't believe they wanted me as their father. I was no longer just Em, I was their father.

"Daddy don't cry." Kristen said and she pecked my cheek.

"I'm so happy, I will be the best daddy ever, I promise!"

"Good!"

I carried both of the twins in and up to their room. Bella went up to dress them for bed. As I headed back down stairs she grasped my shoulder.

"Em, you seem to have an unusual glow...are you pregnant?" She asked laughing softly. I kissed her softly before deepening the kiss and pulling away to go back to the garage.

"No, I'm a daddy!" She looked at me funny before shaking her head and I left to get the toy store bags from the car and placed them in the living room.

I found Bella back in bed reading some book called Twilight. She had bought the books for herself today. Bella had always been stuck on vampire novels already having read Anne Rice's vampire novels six times front and back when we were younger.

She seemed so focused on the book that when I softly bit the area between her neck and shoulder she jumped a little. I kissed it and she looked at me lovingly.

"Em, guess what?"

"What?" I asked eagerly like one of the twins. She laughed her contagious laugh and looked at me.

"I can go to the dinner if I go under a C-Section that night or next day." I looked at her and grabbed her face before kissing her. There went her blush again as if it were our first kiss all over again. I surprised her again my moving my head down to her swollen tummy and kissing it over and over again.

"Thank you baby, just hold on a few more weeks and then after Daddy finds out which team he's drafted to then you can pop your way out!" Bella slightly smacked my head and we both giggled before we turned off the lights to go to sleep.

Okay so I hope it wasn't that bad of a filler chapter. I like to think of filler chapters now as building blocks which you have to layer until you reach the top and it all makes sense!

Review please! I love them and those who do. Please put the names of your stories to. I love reading my reader's stories!!
