Well I was planning on putting in the names in this chapter, but I don't have an internet connection at this moment and I am so bored I'm going to write a chapter before the baby naming one, don't worry, I'll put them both up as soon as I can.

EPOV

Instead of my birthday being the grand event it had been in recent years we (as in me) decided to just have a simple family dinner. Bella had wanted to do something big, but I hadn't given in, knowing that I would only stress her out and that she would continue to be upset if she had to plan everything from our bed or the couch, and not be able to move during the party anyways. Alice had pouted at the decision, but had kept quiet, I had warned them all that Bella was all over the place and I didn't want to upset her.

Even Nessie and Allie were behaving better than usual, it was as if we had entered the twilight zone, even Nessie had lost her habit of randomly biting people. Allie was quieter than her usual self, and whenever Alice came over with Brandon, he was fast asleep. Our house, was extremely quiet most of the time, so quiet that Bella found it necessary to play deafening music whenever the girls were at their special school. Bella, on the other hand was becoming increasingly difficult. She would cry more than usual, get angry at me and in a very un-Bella like manner, she even through something at me, even though it was just a fluffy pillow. I knew it was the situation, and that this was not really my Bella at the moment, but I was seriously considering the possibility that Bella could be getting multiple personality disorder. When she wasn't the beautiful, sweet, shy girl I had fallen in love with, she could be two completely different people. She could be Xena, the warrior Princess, she was dangerous, and sexy and calculating and cold, or she could be this, Crazy-hormonal, pregnant Bella, who hated everything because she couldn't do anything. She could barely shift anymore because the babies were getting big, and it upset me even more, when the thing I hated the most about this pregnancy occurred.

I was on my way home with the girls when my phone started to ring.

"Hello"

"Edward" I heard a sobbing Bella say

"What's wrong?"

"It hurts… so much" she said, and I planted my foot on the accelerator.

"What hurts, baby, what is it?"

"I don't know, I heard a crack, in my chest and it really hurts and I think a rib is poking me" she told me, as I turned the corner of our street.

"I'll be there in thirty seconds, just hold on, ok?"

"Yeah."

I hung up and called my mom, who was probably the only person at home, at this hour.

"Mom, can you take care of the kids, I have to take Bella to see dad"

"Yeah, I'll be right there" I saw her crossing the street as I pulled up.

I didn't even take the girls out, my mother would do that, I just ran upstairs to our bedroom where I found Bella on the bed, crying and clutching at her side, her eyes closed and her brow furrowed in pain.

"I'm here, love, shh, I'm here" I told her as I crawled to her side, kneeling on the bed, next to her.

"Edward" she whispered, looking me in the eye. I could see all the pain she was going through, all the hurt and it broke my heart that I wasn't here before, to save her from it.

"Can you move?" I asked her and she shook her head.

I quickly dialed 911

"911 dispatcher, what's your emergency?" said a commercial voice on the other side.

"Yes, my wife, it seems she has cracked a rib and can't move, she's pregnant."

"Ok, sir, calm down, your address please"

"1753 Pembroke Lane"

"And is she conscious?"

"Yes, but she's in a lot of pain"

"Ok, sir, I'm going to ask you to remain with your wife and try and keep her conscious, an ambulance is on its way"

We waited for a total of two minutes before I could hear the silence, by that time I heard my mother shuffling the girl upstairs, but not before coming in the room and looking worriedly at Bella, assuring her everything would be alright.

After we got to the hospital I had to wait outside while they examined Bella, at this point I was truly, and finally sick of hospitals. It was not at all a welcome custom that everyone in the hospital knew me by name, and that Bella's file was probably the thickest here. I was upset and sad and worried, extremely worried. Half an hour into the wait I was met by Emmett, who was probably the only other person that knew exactly what I was going through, he had taken Bella to the emergency room many times before I came around.

"Hey man, how is she?" he said, still in his FBI work-out day clothes. Jeans, a black t-shirt and a FBI sweat shirt.

"I don't know anything, they won't tell me anything at all…"

"Agh, we spend way too much time in ER's because of Bella."

"Tell me about it" I said, rolling my eyes.

15 minutes later an official looking doctor came out, carrying Bella in a wheel chair.

She looked extremely tired, but the pain that had been in her eyes had vanished and she wasn't as pale as she had been when I had first seen her.

"Mr. Cullen" he said in acknowledgement, I nodded at him, but didn't pay attention to him, I knelt at her feet so we were at eye level, and gently put my arms around her, and she held me gently and placed her head in the nook of my neck. She was in my arms, safe, right where she belonged.

I only let go, to listen to what the doctor was saying next, but didn't completely release her, I simply took both her hands in mine.

"She cracked a rib, but we taped it up nicely, it was a clean break, no splinters. You see, it's not uncommon for multiple birth pregnancies to have this risk, especially in small women, like your wife. The babies are safe, but it's getting, umm, "crowded in there" and the movement was probably what did it, but don't worry, she's fine and there is no danger to her health or the babies" he said, finishing proudly.

"Thank you, doctor" I said, releasing one of my hands so I could shake the doctors. Emmett did the same and after saying a few pleasantries we left, carrying Bella slowly to Emmett's car, since I had ridden in the ambulance. I put her in the back gently and by the time we were home, the whole family was congregated in the living room.

Nessie immediately went to her mother, who very gently and slowly, with my help, put her on her lap. Allie tried climbing up my back but I picked her up and sat her on me as we explained to everyone what had happened.

BPOV

If I thought before that Edward was being overprotective it was nothing compared to how he got after the rib incident.

Not only did Edward try to cancel his dinner, which I finally managed to get to accept, but he stopped picking up the girls from school, hiring a driver to take them and get them every day. It wasn't as if we couldn't afford it, I just really thought it was unnecessary. He at least accepted to have the dinner, but, with the condition that he could hire a caterer and a service to serve so that I couldn't do anything.

Even though I knew he did it all so he could take care of me, and because he was worried, I still was irritated and moody, but not enough to ruin the perfect present I had for my extremely overprotective, wonderful husband.

At five, on the dot Edward was helping me down the stairs to the living room where the guests (Our family) had started to arrive.

I was wearing a light, almost lilac colored dress that reached right under my knees, and didn't look completely horrible with my gigantic baby bump. I was wearing light purple ballet slippers and had on simple jewelry, leaving my hair in a curly half pony tail that I achieved with Alice's assistance. I hardly had any make-up on, but my lips were a light pink, and my eyes were a very light purple-white color.

Edward contrastingly was wearing a dark green button up shirt and black slacks, with dark shoes, his hair its normal messy disarray. Edward helped me to the couch, where I would wait for the entire family. The girls were sitting together in a loveseat, both wearing light dresses that almost mirrored mine, Nessie's in purple like mine, Allie in green. It seemed fitting, since my little Allie was a complete Daddy's girl, while Nessie was totally her momma's little girl. They both had on little hair bands that kept the hair out of there exquisitely beautiful faces, with little bows on it. Around there necks were the lockets they never took off.

Alice came down the stairs, ready, talking to Jasper on the phone about what to dress Brandon in. She was wearing an A-symmetrical dress, in black that brought out her eyes, and her hair was its normal spiky do.

She sat next to me, and not five minutes later the doorbell rang.

Alice got up to get it, and came back in a minute later with her husband and son.
Jasper looked like a million dollar superstar in a black dress shirt, and Brandon was the image of his father, dressed in a black onesy, his blue eyes shining in contrast to his dark hair and his outfit, that looked adorable on the little baby.

Jasper kissed me on the cheek when he sat down, and went to hug the girls before placing himself at the back of the room, in the corner, where he always liked to be, watching over everyone else.

Two minutes later the bell rang again and It was Edward's turn to get it. He came in with Esme and Carlisle, who were carrying gifts for their only son, and placed them on a table we had set apart for them.

Carlisle and Esme were looking so wonderful, I still didn't get used to being in a family full of beautiful people. Carlisle was wearing a white shirt, with dark pants and Esme was wearing a modest, cream colored dress with tall brown heels, and a shawl over her shoulders.

They both greeted me and joined the conversation, before Jasper got up to welcome the only people missing.

Rosalie came in first, in a blood red dress, carrying Charlie, who looked like a little gentleman in his formal shirt and pants, I laughed, he looked so much like Emmett. Emmett was carrying Lily, who was wearing a pretty red dress like her mommy that had ruffles everywhere. Emmett was his usual fun loving self and had decided to wear a bright yellow shirt with cartoons all over it, just to see Alice's reaction.

It was priceless, as soon as Em set Lily down and Alice got a good luck at his shirt her eyes seemed to grow to twice their normal size, and threatened to come down. It seemed at first that she stopped breathing because she turned tomato red, and then eventually she started taking in air in small gasps, her eyes never leaving the largest of the cartoons, which was a yellow tweety bird. We all laughed and she looked miserably at Jasper who slowly encouraged her, and she was finally able to start breathing normally, before shutting her eyes completely and joining the conversation yet again, never completely normal. Emmett was smirking, looking extremely proud that he had gotten this reaction out of the great Alice, who could anticipate any news or surprises as soon as the person had decided on it.

Dinner was delicious, and interesting, since Emmett found it necessary to defend his honor when Charlie accidentally threw food at him, by throwing it back. A full out food fight did not start, but it would've if Charlie, the two year old weren't way more mature than his father, and not retaliated against Em, who didn't know better. Allie made a mess of the ice cream, but Edward cleaned her up and now, we were all in the living room, ready to give Edward our parents.

Since we were the immediate family we were going to go last.

Alice, was so excited she couldn't wait any longer and bounced to the table and back with two boxes, one from her and Jasper, and one that said Uncle Eddie, from Brandon. Alice would use any excuse to give extra presents.

EPOV

I opened the box from "Brandon" (cough* cough*- Alice) and saw two t-shirts. One said "World's Best Daddy" in bold letters and another normal shirt that was extremely soft and comfortable and Alice said it was for her new, father's line, for when you had a lot to do, and didn't have time to find something comfortable. I thanked "Brandon" and opened the one from Alice and Jasper. The box was smaller, and when I opened it I found several interesting looking cards. A closer examination showed me that Alice had taken the time to make and laminate baby-sitting cards that I could cash in with her whenever I wanted and was worth one night or day with all five of the kids. There were blue ones that said Jasper and Pink ones that said Alice. I laughed and thanked them, as did Bella.

Rosalie and Em came next. Rose surprised me by throwing at me my own car keys.

"Ugh, thanks?" I said, confused

"I updated your car, changed you're oil, acceleration, gave it new paint, cleaned out the insides and filled the back with car seats" she said, simply, before adding "oh and now you can go up to 450"

I beamed at her and hugged her tightly, thanking them both.

Lily gave me an adorable card she had drawn herself that had the entire family. My mom, dad, next to Rose and Em who were holding Lily and Charlie, Jazz and Alice with Brandon and Bella and me carrying the girls, Bella's stomach a round circle with an arrow pointing to it that said, "Baby Cousins" I kissed my niece on the cheek and turned to my parents presents.

My parents had given me and Bella a weekend retreat in Hawaii by ourselves, with a bonus of taking care of the kids, I thanked them profusely and my mom had small tears in her eyes, muttering about her baby having babies, I smiled at her, and she waved me off, telling me it was just a momma's thing.

The last present was from Bella and the girls.

Bella called Nessie and Allie over and whispered in Allie's ear. She got up and went to the piano we had in the living room, where I would play and teach Allie. She sat down on the bench, gave me a smile and started playing. Her cong was one that would be difficult for level two students that were around ten years old. It was beautiful and quick paced and ended on a high note, while we all applauded her and she came running into my arms. I kissed her.

"Good job pumpkin!" I told her and she smiled.

Next it was Nessie's turn.

She ran to Emmett and pulled on his leg

"Follow" she told him and he did as he was told without a word, a confused expression on his face.

Emmett came back in with two big frames.

At this time Bella piped up

"This is from all three of us" she told me and Nessie made Emmett turn the first one around.

There, was a beautiful painting of my two princesses. They were both sitting on a throne-like chair dressed in long gowns. Allie's hair had little bows pulling up the sides, away from her face, her dress was pale pink, with glitter, she had on small little pink sandals and one hand was holding her locket, she was looking at me with her big green eyes, my eyes. Next to her was Nessie, a small diamond headband on her head, with an identical dress to Allie's but in lavender, smiling, with her cheeks showing her mother's famous blush. At the bottom of it were the words "More than my own life" in an elegant golden script. It was amazing.

"It's beautiful, I love it" I told Bella

"That's not all" she said. And then went a little more into detail.

"This was Alice's idea, she told me, when we first got together whenever you would speak about me you would call me "my angel" and well, she wanted to monopolize on your embarrassment at the fact that you didn't seem to notice when you did it." She motioned for Emmett to turn the other picture around.

I gasped when I saw it. There she was, my angel. Bella was standing up, her hands at her side. She was wearing a long white dress that seemed from a Greek princess's closet. Her eyes were wide and she was smiling slightly, her full lips tilted up at the sides, painted in a pale pink. She had on little to no makeup, but her hair was impressively curled so that it framed her face in the most angelic way, she had no baby bump, and I wondered how long it took her to get this done, how long she had been planning for this particular picture. That wasn't all, though. Behind her, the backdrop was a clear blue sky, with few clouds but it seemed as if the sun was directly behind her, for she was glowing, a bright light behind her, accentuating her form and making her seem as if she were flying over the sun, a real angel.

"My angel" I whispered. I turned to look at her, she was not different from in the picture, if anything more beautiful with the bump that carried my children. I kissed her softly.

"You like it?" she whispered against my lips

"I love it, it looks just like you"

She smiled at me, and we separated a bit, as the girls pushed to sit on our laps, I saw a camera flash and smiled, looking at Bella.

She looked at me peacefully, and then her expression changed.

"Oh" she said curiously

"Oh no. Edward my water just broke" she said and everyone stiffened.

"But we have a month?" I said, fearfully.

"But they want to come NOW!" she yelled as a contraction began.

The babies were coming…
