A/N Fourth chapter in a day… but don't expect this to be a habit… it's just that these don't require any thought, since I have to just edit a bit. :D

Chapter Four (Edward's POV)

I stared at Bella's still body, wishing I could hear her thoughts. So I could know if she's in pain or anything. If she's cursing me for doing this to her. I was contemplating this when Carlisle's thoughts reached me from his office.

So if the girls are growing at this rate… they should hit old age in thirty years? Is that the effects of the vampire gene hitting human? I'll need more data before I can be completely sure…

I shut out his thoughts and laid my head on Bella's hand. My bad choices will affect my daughters too. If only I hadn't made the deal with Bella… it only harmed my love and my kids. Kids. I still can't believe I have them, even though they'll be with us for such a short time. We'll have to make use of the time we do have with them.

As I resolved this Rosalie came running into the room with Edelle in her arms. "You take her." Rosalie barked, almost tossing Edelle into my arms. I couldn't get much out of her thoughts, except she was going to kill Emmett.

"What did Emmett do now?" I asked warily, balancing Edelle on my knee.

"He broke the camera! He brought it during a hunting trip, and forgot to tell anyone that a bear smashed it! We need it to take pictures!" Rosalie replied hurriedly, "I'm going to Port Angeles to get another one."

"Just use one of the others around." I said quietly. "But I want to see the girls now, okay?"

Rosalie nodded. "Alright." She left and returned with Renesmee. She handed her to me then quietly left the room.

I stared at my pretty daughters, whom in return stared back at me. Even without the eyes I can tell them apart almost. Okay, not really. "How am I going tell you guys asleep when you're asleep?" I teased them lightly. Even though they were babies they seemed to exchange looks. Their voices in their head were subtly different, but just enough that I could tell them apart.

"Oops. Forgot about that." I smiled at them. Edelle looked at Bella, lying still. "That's your mother girls. Right now she's just having a…last sleep, but soon she'll be awake and anxious to see you guys."

Esme walked in. "Sorry I wasn't here to help Edward. Or that I didn't even come back quickly…"

"That's alright Esme. It turned out alright in the end. Did Carlisle tell you about…" I asked and she nodded. She reached out for the babies.

"May I…?" She began and I quickly handed her Renesmee and Edelle. Her face softened and she started singing a quiet lullaby that's been around for eternity. I turned my attention back to Bella. I should have just let her die… except I promised. I promised her that I'd turn her into a vampire, but how much pain is she going through? Did the morphine make it through?

"Edward?" Esme caught my attention. "The girls are tired… where should I let them sleep?"

Right. They sleep. They need a spot for that. "Can you just hold them for the night? Or something? I'm sure Rosalie won't mind helping out."

Jacob decided that moment to come in. "I'll help!"

I stared at him suspiciously. "Why do you want to help Jacob?" I questioned and then heard his thoughts. I wasn't sure if I should be amused, or angry. "You imprinted on Renesmee?"

"Yeah…it's not something I can control Edward." Jacob replied, but his thoughts were positively glowing from thinking about my daughter. He was thinking about her in a brotherly way so I couldn't harm him…yet.

I gave him a fatherly glare. "If you hurt my girl in anyway… you will answer to me. I don't care if Bella and Renesmee protest … if you harm her I will kill you."

Jacob nodded. "I don't think it's humanly possible for me to harm Renesmee… but thanks for the warning."

"You're more dog then human… so I'm keeping an eye on you." I said seriously. Jacob nodded awkwardly.

"Are you done with the third degree Edward? If you are… I'll tell you what Sam thinks about it all." Jacob said with a grin. He was thinking about the talk, so I got the gist.

"So Sam and the pack can't harm us for two reasons now. Renesmee is your imprintee and you used your ancestry to allow Bella being turned into a vampire."

"Well you know… Renesmee can't grow up without a mother to protect her from Alice." Jacob said, and then grimaced. "Why did Bella name such a small creature with such a long name?"

"It's Renee and Esme together. Edelle is Edward and Bella together. I like the names." I said, defending Bella's choices. "The names are unique for such a unique pair of girls."

"But Renesmee? I've thought up a nickname for her already on my way over here. Want to guess what it is? Or are you going to find it in my thoughts?" Jacob was obviously in high spirits.

"Well… if you don't want Bella to physically harm you for naming our daughter after the Loch Ness Monster then go ahead. I just won't protect you from Bella when she finds out that on top of you imprinting on our daughter you decided to call her Nessie."

Jacob shrugged. "Bella won't harm me. We're best buds."

"For now while she's changing. When she can actually think coercively then we'll see." I reply grimly before turning back to Bella. I heard Jacob go down to try and find Esme.

Emmett's POV

I looked back at Rosalie and found that she had cooled off some towards me. She still won't let me near the babies though.

"You'll wake them up Emmett. They sleep you know, and it is late." Rosalie told me and I tried doing the puppy dog face. She turned away though. "You'll need some pointers from a dog or something Emmett, because that's not going to work."

I turned to Jacob, who glared at me. "Don't even think about asking Emmett."

Esme laughed gently at my pitiful face. "Here Emmett, you can hold Renesmee." She said and Jake gave her a look of horror.

"I asked first Esme!" Jacob said and she gave him a motherly look.

"You've already had a turn to hold her. Just because you imprinted doesn't mean that you can hog my granddaughter. Her uncle needs to hold her too."

With a few more protests from Jacob in the background Esme gave me the sleeping Renesmee. I would have held her carefully, if Jacob wasn't at my elbow watching my every move. "Jacob, I may be a big guy and don't deserve one, but I do have a personal bubble and you're in it." I said and he didn't pay any attention. Well, I warned him.

To create my personal bubble I gently held Renesmee out from me and started spinning really quickly. I was going so fast that she didn't even wake up. Jacob's look was priceless though. He quickly grabbed Renesmee out of my arms, but the sudden movement woke her up. She opened her mouth like she was about to cry, took one look at who was holding her and went back to sleep. "Renesmee, you're no fun." I grumbled lightly then noticed that I had two vampires staring at me in a very scary way. "What's wrong Rosalie, Esme?" I said innocently, subtly trying to cover the back of my head.

Rosalie ignored me and said to Esme, "I married an idiot. It's a good thing I can't have children with him, or they'd be brain-dead."

"Ah Rose, don't be like that. Renesmee didn't even notice." I said and inched towards her. Her evil glare stopped me in my tracks. "I love you." I said meekly. She gave a soft smile before turning the glare back on.

"I'm going to tell Bella when she wakes up! Let's see how bad her newborn rage is." Rosalie threatened. I smiled. Bella didn't scare me.

"I thought you wanted the 'dog' to get first taste, or even Alice!" I said and Rosalie turned thoughtful.

"Good point." She said before looking at Edelle who was still in Esme's arms. "These girls are gorgeous."

Ignore me why don't you. "You're prettier Rosalie."

"Stop sucking up Emmett. Esme, can I hold Edelle now?"

"I think that Carlisle wants to measure them again. They seem to be growing rapidly." Esme said, her forehead creased with worry. Carlisle came downstairs.

"Yes, I believe that we should keep measuring them. I need as much data as possible to figure out if the growing will stop."

I froze. If they're growing rapidly… "Does that mean they could be old ladies in a short period of time? Or die soon?"

Rosalie shot me a hurt expression. Oops, open mouth, insert foot. Carlisle answered as he carefully measured Edelle. "I'm not sure. It's possible. That might be the effect of having vampire and human parents. I've never heard of anything like it, so it's hard to tell."

"Is Edward freaking out right now Alice?" I asked as she gave me this hard look.

"What am I? A magic eight ball? I was upstairs changing, not talking to Edward. If you want an answer, how about 'It is decidedly so'? Come on Emmett, it's Edward. Of course he's freaking out. Right now though, he's most likely worried about Bella and can worry about the girls later." Alice said crossly.

"What's up your butt Alice?" I asked and she sighed, pressing her hand on her head.

"Three non-existent people in the same room is giving me a non-existent headache."

"What are you talking about?"

"I can't see their future, it's all blurry. Hey Jasper?" Alice suddenly asked and Jasper looked up from the couch.

"Yeah?"

"Can we go hunting? Rosalie too… you haven't hunted in a few weeks now, and if you aren't careful, you might even snack on Jacob."

Rosalie nodded. "I'll come, but I doubt I'd ever get hungry enough to drink Jacob's blood." She pretends to shudder.

"I'll stay here with the girls." I volunteered, but Rosalie pushed me out the door.

"You're coming too."

"I just went hunting though." I protested.

"I don't really care. You can play with a grizzly bear."

I grinned. "Sweet!"

We were hunting individually for about fifteen minutes when I heard a shrill whistle from about two miles away. I was fighting a grizzly bear at the time, so I just quickly finished him off and headed towards Alice. "What Alice? Aren't you guys hunting while I get to fight with a bear?" I asked, a little disgruntled.

"The actual hunting was just so Rosalie could get some blood in her system Emmett." Alice replied. Rosalie, who was sitting on a rock behind her, smirked.

"Come on Emmett. When was the last time Alice said we should all go hunting together?" Rosalie asked and I froze.

"No! Absolutely not! I refuse!" I glowered at Jasper. "Did you know?"

"I figured. But Alice hasn't been feeling good…" Jasper started and I interrupted him.

"I don't care if she's on her death bed! I'm not doing this!"

"It's for the twins Emmett. Not for me." Alice pleaded and I contemplated this. I shook my head.

"Nope. Not going to do it. Besides, it's night time." I argued. Rosalie shook her head at me.

"You really are an idiot Emmett. Any store would gladly stay open after hours for Alice and her credit card."

"Not a baby store! You guys have never been to one!" I replied and the girls looked sheepish. "You have? Why?"

"Well… you know how I am with babies Emmett… I couldn't resist." Rosalie muttered and I jokingly slapped my forehead with my palm.

"This is almost as bad as the time you were in the baby ward at the hospital Rose!" I joked and she smiled.

"No, this was worse. About three years ago Alice and I went to three baby stores and bought everything that was pink."

I froze. She's right, it was worse. "Did Carlisle flip out?"

"Once he found out we gave the clothes to a woman shelter he was fine. I still wanted a little girl of my own to dress though, but this is almost as good. So Emmett," She gave me an adorable pleading look, "Can we please go shopping for Edelle and Renessemee?"

I groaned exaggeratingly. "Alright, but if you ask me which dresses are better when they look exactly the same, I quit."
