I looked around an unfamiliar room. My hands were sweaty. I felt aching all over my body. I forced y eyes to open. Alice stood over my head , watching my heavy eyes lift up.

"Hi ya, Bella." Alice greeted in her pixie voice. "You're ok. Do you remember anything?"

"Alice, what are you talking about?" I said sitting up. I kept my eyes locked on Alice.

"Well, you hit your head. You've been out for about 3 days! Carlisle thinks you were starting to get the fever also. We let you rest."

"I don't remember a thing. I don't even remember hitting my head at all." A spot in the back of my head burned. I rubbed it.

"Well, you were pretty much half asleep. Jasper carried you to this room and Carlisle took a look at you. You were very tired and when you tried to go into Emmett's room upstairs, you fell down them. Your such a klutz!" Alice giggled. I smiled. The reality hit me. Edward and Emmett.

"Are Edward and Emmett ok?"

"You tell me." A velvet voice called. I turned my head slightly only to find a pale-faced figure sitting I a large recliner chair. Edward.

"Edward!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I flew myself towards the chair, not minding the space between us. I tripped but caught myself in time. I flew my arms around him, kneeling on the floor. I kissed him like never before.

"Hey." He said casually, smiling his boyish smile.

"Hey. Are you ok?" I whispered.

"perfect now." His smile widened.

"He was so worried, Bella. Carlisle brought him into this room." Alice said. "Well, I'd better leave you two alone. I want to scare the stuff outa Jasper anyway. Maybe I'll hang a spider from a wall or something."

"Just pretend to go into labor." Edward suggested.

"Hey! Good idea." Alice skipped out of the room, whirling her hair around as she did.

"You must be offal hungry." Edward said. As if in agreement, my stomach growled. Edward smiled again. "I'm still pretty weak. Help me up?"

"Oh, of course." I clung to his shoulders , wrapping my arms around his body. He gasped. I flashed my eyes worryingly.

"I'm ok." He agreed. He put his arm around my waist.

"I want to see Emmett first." I informed. Edward nodded, still smiling. He lead me into Emmett's room. Emmett was sitting up, but not out of bed. Blankets covered his legs.

"Hey Bella." He greeted. Carlisle turned to me. His eyes drooped down, showing black circles around his eyes. Some of the white part of his eyes were blood red and his hair was messy. Pale skin was covered in sweat along his forehead. I looked at what he was doing. He had a sheet in one very shaky hand and coffee in another.

"Feeling better?" He asked exhausted.

"Yep. Are you ok, Carlisle?" I asked, tilting my head slightly.

"I'm fine." He smiled.

"Well, you definably don't look fine. Take a rest. You haven't went to sleep since god knows when." Emmett sighed, scratching his arm. His bright amber eyes flickered from his arms to Carlisle. "You're going to kill yourself man." His hands went around his arm in a circular motion. Carlisle nodded slightly.

"I'm ok, really." He sighed. "As for you, Bella. Have you been feeling dizziness, nausea, any unregular symptoms?"

"No, it just hurts a little." I said putting my hand on the spot. Carlisle yawned. Esme walked in.

"Oh Bella, you're up! Good thing I made something to eat. Common everyone. Lunch time." She headed out the room. Emmett started getting out of bed. Carlisle helped him. Edward put his arm around me once again and took me to the kitchen. The glass table sparkled with a white tablecloth. Fresh daises stayed in the center. The smell of hot hamburgers filled the air, watering my mouth. Cool air rushed around us, blowing everyone's hair. It was warm out. Spring was in the air. Birds chirped and light, wispy clouds blew past. It was beautiful. The best day in winter so far.

"Smells great!" Jasper complimented. "I call dibbs on the bottom one. It's the most juicy." Emmett sat down and shuffled through the meat.

"This one?" He asked casually.

"Yes. Put it on my plate will you man." Jasper sat down. Emmett spit on the patty.

"Sure thing, man." He slapped it onto Jasper's plate, smiling an evil smile.

"I see someone's feeling better." Rose smiled, coming down the stairs.

"Your such a child." Jasper sighed pushing his plate to Emmett and taking Emmett's plate to himself. Edward and I sat next to Alice. She smiled.

"I could eat a horse!" She said rubbing her belly. "Wait till this thing gets out, I'll be as fat as one to. Then I won't be able to fit in any of my new clothes."

"I don't think you will." Emmett said. "You already are." Emmett smiled again.

"Oh stop. Not now. Emmett shut up before Carlisle puts you in the corner." Alice hissed. "Bad enough you live here."

"Alice, if you don't shut up Carlisles gonna put YOU in the corner." Emmett growled back. Everyone's eyes were on them. Not a sound whispered through the house. Emmett and Alice started bickering on about something. It was so loud you couldn't figure out what they were saying.

"Stop it now!" Carlisle yelled slamming his arm on the table. This was very unusual. He never raised his voice. "Stop acting like to uncivilized children. Now!" Everything went silent. Esme put her arm onto Carlisle's back.

"Are you ok?" Esme said in a worried tone. "Maybe you should get some s-" Esme dropped her arm.

"No. Esme, dear. I'm fine." Carlisle cut off picking up his food again. "I have to pick up some extra medication from the hospital. You guys are still not better. You shouldn't even be out of bed. I will get some rest later" His voice was still edgy. He turned his head side to side. Flashing his eyes at Edward and Emmett. Everyone was still silent.

"You always say that, Carlisle. Please, can't you do that later?"

"I would prefer not. Get it over with." Carlisle protested. He looked around the table. Still no one spoke. "Alright. I'm sorry I yelled. I do need to rest." He put his food down and put both elbows on the table. He laid his head on top of his hands, pinching the bridge between his eyes. He looked down at the table. He let out a long sigh, almost moaning like. Then he let out a more deliberate moan. Everyone raised their head at him. Esme tried to make him look up.

"Carlisle? Honey, are you ok?" Esme said in a worried tone.

"Fine, dear. It's just a head ache. I've had it all day. I thought it would get better, but it hasn't. Only worse. I'd better go to the hospital, pick up the meds so I can rest." Carlisle whispered. Emmett and Alice glanced at each other.

"It's alright, Carlisle. Don't worry about it. Everyone yells." Emmett apologized.

"Thank you." Carlisle whispered. He picked his head up and opened his bright amber eyes. He let out a loud moan and squinted. He got up. The light was coming in by the door. He was practically closing his eyes as he walked towards the front door. Part of a chair was covering his path. The light reflected off the one white chair, making it blend in with the pale walls. Carlisle didn't look down. His body stumbled and fell over the chair, then it fell onto the floor.

"Carlisle!" Esme got up and ran to him. She picked up his head with one arm. Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rose, Edward, and I ran up also. "Carlisle? Carlisle, can you hear me?" Esme said in a frantic voice. Edward moved closer to Carlisle, hitting his face lightly.

"Carlisle, common now. Open your eyes." Edward said in a calm voice. Almost everyone stared at him. Carlisle tilted his head up. His eyes flickered along the room.

"Edward. Esme. It's ok. I'm just tired. Let me up." Carlisle whispered. Edward, Emmett, and Esme tried to help him. Emmett and Edward hung onto both of his arms. "I'm good. Please let go." Carlisle said in a regular tone. Emmett and Edward looked at each other and then nodded. They gently let go of Carlisle. "Thank you, now go finish up dinner." Esme stood at his side.

"Let me get you a glass of water at least." Esme begged.

"Oh alright." Carlisle smiled. Esme quickly grabbed a glass and filled it with water. Carlisle's exhausted eyes looked at me. The bags under his eyes made him look at least 10 years older. I saw his eye lids start to flutter. Alice, Jasper, and Rosalie were sitting down. Emmett was in the bathroom and Edward was talking with Esme. Carlisle let out a deep breath and his fluttering eyelids stayed down longer. I took a few steps towards him and put my hand on his shoulder.

"Edward, jasper!" I called loudly. All pairs of eyes laid on me. I tried to shake Carlisle. His eyelids finally stopped fluttering and stayed closed. His knees gave out, making his limp body plummet into the pale floor. Esme dropped the glass of water and raced towards us. Everyone once sitting at the table got up and ran to him. Edward and Jasper picked him up.

"What happened?" Emmett said running out from the bathroom.

"He's suffering from exhaustion." Edward called back. "Jasper help me pick him up." Carlisle's eyes shot open. Esme held his hand.

"Huh? What happened now." He said wearily.

"You're going to bed. No buts." Esme scolded. "You're completely exhausted."

"Are you ok?" Alice asked running to Carlisle. Carlisle nodded. "Yes. You're not going anywhere. Doctors get sick to!"

"I'm not sick." Carlisle protested.

"Well your exhausted. Same thing only you don't feel to crappy, only tired." Edward sighed. Jasper and him lifted Carlisle, putting both his arms around their shoulders. They basically carried him. I heard a loud gasp. I turned quickly. Alice held the bump in her belly. Her breathing got heavier.

"Alice?" I asked putting my and around her. "Alice are you ok?"

"Fine. Help me to the couch." She gasped. Jasper turned around, still with Carlisle on his shoulder.

"Alice!" He shouted, jumping under Carlisle's arm. Carlisle groaned. "sorry, Carlisle!" He looked at her. I took Alice's body in my arms. She breathed harder, forcing her to gasp louder. I started walking with her to the couch slowly while holding onto her right hand.

"I got him." Edward said repositioning Carlisle's body.

"Bring me to Alice." Carlisle whispered.
"No, you need rest." Edward protested. Carlisle put his finger up to Edward's face.

"No. Family comes before rest. I will live. If anything would happen I would blame myself anyway. Now common, Edward. Please bring me to Alice." Carlisle begged. Edward looked at I'm with pleading eyes. Edward positioned his body to hold on to Carlisle while Jasper ran to Alice and I. I sat Alice down. She slumped into the couch. I looked at Edward who was bringing Carlisle towards us. Esme sat down on the other side of Alice. Jasper raced to us, almost falling over. He regained his balance and sat by Alice's feet on the floor.

"Alice. Alice, are you ok? What's the matter?" Jasper asked franticly. Then he moaned slightly.

"What's the matter, Jasper?" Alice gasped between gasps.

"Stomach hurts. Ate too much of Esme's hamburgers. Are you ok?" Jasper huffed. Alice giggled.

"Perfect." Carlisle and Edward came over. Esme slid out of the way. Emmett and Rosalie were crouched over the back of the couch. Jasper's eyes were full of light.

"It's time?" He smiled. Alice nodded. Carlisle sat down.

"Lets bring her to the room." He suggested. The Cullen's had a special hospital like room reserved for Alice. It had pretty much everything a regular hospital room would have.

"Carlisle, are you sure you're up to it?" Esme said worryingly.

"Yes. I told you, I'm just a little tired. Let's get hr upstairs." Carlisle instructed. Esme looked down at her hands and started fidgeting with them, letting out a sigh. Jasper picked Alice up in one slick movement.

"Wow. Even pregnant your so light." He chuckled. Alice smiled.

"Give me a hand with the doctor." Emmett said in a sarcastic tone to Edward.

"Ha-ha." Carlisle said back. "I don't need two people." Carlisle walked to the stairs on his own. I followed everyone upstairs. Rosalie sighed.

"I want to have a baby." She said in a dream-like voice. Emmett jumped.

"Whoa, um. Ugh. Baby? Big responsibility babe." He stammered. Rosalie rolled her eyes. I looked at Edward. He had a wide kid-like grin on his face. I waved in front of his eyes. He looked down to me.

"An uncle, me. This is going to be fun." He chuckled. I smiled. Carlisle was following everyone up the stairs. Well, all but Edward, Emmett, and I. Edward stopped me.

"Should we come up?" Edward asked.

"Well, I would like to check her first. If she's not to far along. This could take a while. I'll call you up when it's ok."

"Alright." All three o us turned back and sat on the couch.

"So. We're gonna be uncles, eh?" Emmett sighed.

"Yep." Edward replied.

"I really want a taco." Emmett reached for the remote.

"Tacos sound good." Edward said in response. "How about you, Bella."

"Not hungry." I promised. I curled up onto the couch putting my head on his chest. He put his arm around me and handed the remote to Emmett, knocking the spot where I hit my head. It sent out pain in response.

"Ow!" I cried rubbing my head.

"What?" Edward jumped.

"no you knocked my head."

"Sorry, love." He put his arm around me again.

"Hey, aren't the Giants playing Jets tonight?" Emmett asked.

"I think." Edward pointed his finger at the remote.

"No way man."

"you always hog the remote, Edward."

"You shouldn't b talking, sports central."

"Well at least don't watch boring crap."

"Oh ya like watching basketball and football for 12 hours straight isn't boring." Edward snapped back.

"Shhh." I tried to calm. "I will have that." I grabbed the remote from Edward.

"Damn. Now she's going to put on some lifetime shit."

"am not." Protested Turing off the TV. They both looked at me. "Board game?" I asked. Edward smiled and nodded. Emmett didn't look the least bit enthusiastic.

"Fine." Emmett moaned. I walked over to where all of the games were. I didn't care which game it was, just as long as it was a long one. The one I picked out was monopoly. I smiled. This game took a long time. Emmett stood up and walked over, so did Edward. Then I heard people coming downstairs. I looked at them. Rosalie and Jasper came down.

"Well." Emmett asked.

"Carlisle sent us down." Rosalie stated smiling. "He didn't think Jasper could handle it." She giggled. Emmett started roaring with laughter. Jasper let out a long sigh.

"I could to. I don't even know why he thought that." Jasper sat on the couch.

"Jasper, you fainted when Edward through up. Do you think you could really handle childbirth?" Emmett laughed. Jasper huffed.

"True." Edward shrugged. Jasper put his elbows on his knees and laid his head on top, then he let out a long sigh again.

"Ugh. I want to be with her." He stood up and paced the floor. "What if she needs me? What if something goes wrong?" Jasper continued.

"Jasper it's alright. She'll be ok and so will the baby. You're going to be a daddy." I soothed.

"I know. It's so weird. I hope I make a good one."

"Hey, at least you already know you're going to make the kid laugh. I mean I crack up every time I see your face." Emmett said with a straight face. Jasper hmphed. Emmett walked into the kitchen

"you shouldn't be talking." He called back. "Ugh. How long has it been?" Edward looked down at his watch.

"umm. About 12 minutes since she went upstairs.

"Great."

"Hey Jazzy boy. How do you feel about tacos?" Emmett said walking towards him with a paper towel role in his hand holding it outward like a microphone. He has a kid-like sparkle in his eyes.

"Ugh. Don't talk about food. My stomach hurts thanks to Esme's hamburgers." Jasper stated.

"So…I'll put you down as a no?" Emmett asked. Jasper didn't answer. "ok." Emmett slid onto the couch and reached for the remote.

"Screw the game." I mouthed.

"Ohhhh. Bella's got some dirty mouth." Emmett chuckled. "First time I've ever heard that."

"I'm tired." Edward yawned.

"Me too." Emmett sighed. "A little too tired to play a game." I nodded.

"It's ok. I think you guys should be getting some rest anyway. You should get some rest also, jasper." I suggested. Jasper shook his head.

"No. I can't even sit still and you expect me to rest." He chuckled. "I'm so nervous if I jumped off a building and landed on my head I still wouldn't be unconscious." Emmett snickered.

"Of course you wouldn't. Your Jasper." He stated.

"Thank you for that information, Sr. Thinks A Lot." Jasper sighed.

"Welcome." Emmett answered back. Jasper put his hand on his stomach and moaned.

"Ugh. Perfect time." He sighed. Then he got back up again. "I can't believe it. Me a father? What do you think it will be. A boy, girl, or an Emmett. Hope to god it's not an Emmett." Jasper sighed.

"Ha-ha." Emmett huffed. "I'm tired. Shut up, Jazzy boy. I just hope to got it's not as paranoid as you."

"Well, I'm going to sit down, love. Common. If you want to come." He took my hand. I went with him without hesitation. Rosalie stopped us just when we were getting on the first step.

"You can't go up. Carlisle doesn't want anyone "contaminating" the clean room." Rosalie informed. Edward stepped back down.

"Alright. We'll sit on the couch. I followed him back. Emmet was already snoring.

"How long has it been?" Jasper whispered to Edward still pacing.

"Umm. About 35 minutes since she went in." Edward said slumping into the couch, pulling me down with him. Then we all heard a screaming cry of a baby. Jasper's head shot up and he jogged to the stairs. Rosalie stopped him. Jasper gave her a dirty look.

"Let me up." Jasper commanded.

"Not till Carlisle gets out." She scolded. There was a slam of a door and Esme walked into the hallway with a white bundle in her arms. The crying got louder as she came closer.

"That was fast." Emmett yawned.

"Congrates daddy." Esme said in a sweet, soft voice. "It's a little girl." She carried her down the stairs. The crying of the baby made Jasper smile as she came into view. Edward and I got up. Rosalie peaked over Esme's shoulder. "Isn't she beautiful?" She cooed.

"Gorges. Just like her mommy, yes she is." He said in a baby voice reaching to take the baby for Esme's arms.

"Oh great. Another Alice?" Emmett whined. "Please don't have anymore."There was what it sounded like to be a pound on the floor.

"Shut up, man. And what was that noise?" Edward scolded. Jasper ignored him.

"Oh. Carlisle probably dropped something again. Poor man's at his wits end." Esme said.

"She's so cute." I complemented. "She has your eyes." They were big and a deep blue around the edges and when they got in towards the pupil they were grayer. She had hair as brown as a young tree. Her tiny hands held onto Jasper's finger. He laughed.

"How's Alice?" He looked up from the baby.

"She's glowing. You can go in if you'd like." Esme said with a smiling face. Jasper smiled back and pranced up the stairs, still smiling at the quieting down baby in his arms. We heard his feet as he took a few steps on the stairs.

"Want to come up?" Jasper asked.

"Sure." Esme replied. Esme went in front of Jasper. Jasper didn't hesitate to let her in front. As we turned the corner I heard a gasp.

"Carlisle!" Esme yelled, running down the hall. Jasper looked up.

"Not again." Emmett moaned.

"I don't think he's waking up this time." Esme called.

"He's dead?" Emmett asked raising is eye brow.

"No!"

"Then why wouldn't he wake up?"

"Just help me get him into our room." Esme sighed. She checked his wrist. "There's a pulse so no he's not dead. But, he's going to kill himself if he doesn't get any sleep."Emmett and Edward took Carlisle's limp body. Carlisle moaned and looked up, squinting at the light.

"Hmmm. I'm a grandpa." He whispered smiling. Emmett and Edward stopped. Esme flowed over to the front of Carlisle's face, so he could see her.

"Sure are. Now shhh sweetie. You're going to bed whether you like it or not." Esme said lifting his head up so he could look at her. Then she sped up to open the door to their room. Edward and Emmett started walking again. Carlisle tried to keep up.

"Hey, slow down will you?" Carlisle moaned. "I'm offal tired and I didn't get to weigh the baby." He tried to stop. Edward and Emmett pushed him slightly.

"Common Carlisle, I wanna go to bed to." Emmett complained. They were almost there. I decided to follow. I wanted to give Jasper and Alice some time alone. I moved my feet sluggishly. I realized I was pretty tired also. I stretched out my arm before taking a step into their room. Carlisle yawned. Edward and Emmett dragged Carlisle to the bed. I was surprised Carlisle wasn't asleep yet. Esme cleared the sheets and blankets. Edward and Emmett dragged him in. Edward and Emmett stepped back. Esme squeezed in and covered Carlisle in blankets.

"Sleep now." Esme cooed. She kissed him on the forehead. Then she went into a normal stance but with a confused face. Then she put her hand to his forehead. "Sweetie, your burning." She gasped. Carlisle looked up at her.

"I'm just exhausted, dear. It comes with the…" Carlisle drifted to sleep in a second. His eyes closed and his head went to the side. Then, he started to snore.

"Can someone get me a cool, wet cloth please?" Esme whispered.

"I'll get it." I offered.

"Thank you." Esme put her hand on Carlisle's face. Then she put it back o his forehead. She sighed. "He can't keep doing this. He's not 17 anymore." She kept her hand on his face. She slid it to his forehead. Then she leaned down and kissed it. She fixed the blankets again and walked towards me.

"It's going to be ok. He's just tired." I soothed. She smiled.

"I know, honey. I just need something to worry about." She giggled. "Let's go see my granddaughter." We walked into the room to Alice holding the baby. Jasper was kneeling next to her. Alice had a wide grin o her face. One that you would only get for something special. And this was, something special…
