Chapter 27

We all sat excitedly in the chairs watching flights coming in and taking off. Alice took up two seats with her big belly and another with all of her must have items. She was nine months pregnant now and due in a week. Jasper sat dutifully at her side holding her hand while she rested her head on his shoulder. Edward sat next to him holding my hand and look at the entry terminal where Rosalie and Esme stood waiting nervously for their lovers to return. We were all excited to have Carlisle and Emmet back.

'FLIGHT Q7861 FROM AFRICA HAS JUST LANDED, I REPEAT Q7861 HAD JUST LANDED' An announcer announced and Rosalie squealed. The gates opened and Edward and I got up and joined Rosalie and Esme. Alice stayed seated, finding it to tiring to move. We watched as men and women slowly un-loaded and made their way to the bag carousel. Finally we saw Carlisles blonde hair bobbing toward us in the crowd. He looked extremely scruffy. He had a short beard and his hair had grown out of its stylish cut, he still however managed to look gorgeous. I looked up at Edward, it clear where he gained his good looks and smiled. Carlisle saw Esme and worked his way quicker through the crowd and scooped her up bridal style and kissed her passionately. It was so sweet that they acted although they were still young lovebirds. We were all so focused on them that we didn't see Emmet join us.

'Ew Dad!' He said. We all turned to face him and Rosalie squealed in delight again.

'I missed you so much Emmet!' She said standing on tippy-toes and kissing him passionately. I turned away and went to hg Carlisle to welcome him back. He accepted kindly and then looked me in the eyes.

'Its about time you noticed Edward,' he said sarcastically. Unlike Emmet, Carlisle hadn't flown back for the wedding. He had been in Africa for 12 months and hadn't seen anyone, not even Alice. Edward shook his Dads hand and pointed to where Alice and Jasper were. Carlisle smiled and took Esme's hand and moved toward them. I was about to follow when Emmet pulled me and Edward in for a big Emmet style bear hug. I couched, unable to breathe while Edward tried to fight him off. He dropped us and i gasped for air.

'Welcome back Emmet,' I said still slightly short of breath. I looked up at him and noticed his curly hair had grown out and he had a big bushy beard. I burst out laughing. He looked like Ned Kelley.

'Yeah, that's going!' Rosalie said pointing to the beard and we all laughed.

We had decided to eat lunch at the airport because Alice was complaining constantly about her need to feed two. We all sat down at a little cafe and placed our orders when Alice stood and grabbed my hand.

'Toilet!' she ordered and began dragging me away.

'Hey, wait for me, it was a long flight and I have issues with Aeroplane toilets,' Emmet said skipping to my side. I laughed as Carlisle joined us as well. Emmet looked at him strangely.

'What? I don't like them either,' he said innocently. We made our way to the closest toilets and noticed a long line. Alice let out a long moan.

'I can't wait that long!' She said sadly and Emmet agreed. I looked at him.

'I said it was a long flight didn't I?' He said crossing his legs and holding his crotch like a five year old. Carlisle rolled his eyes .

'There should be some down stairs, there is an elevator over there,' he said walking toward it. Alice hobbled along quickly whilst Emmet skipped still holding his crotch. I hid my face embarrassed. We rode the elevator down and quickly ran to the toilets. It was funny watching a pregnant Alice run. Alice assured me we had made it just in time. We both went and met the boys in the foyer after we had finished. Emmet looked utterly relieved while Carlisle seemed anxious to get back to everyone else. We waited for the elevator which seemed to take a long time. Finally a bell chimed and the doors opened. Carlisle was the first in pressing the button to the floor we needed, Emmet followed as did Alice and myself. Alice looked oddly pale. The doors closed and the elevator hummed to action. Just as I turned to see if Alice was okay I felt a jolt, I and everyone else was thrown to the ground. The lights flickered and the elevator jolted a few more times. My stomach lurched as i felt the elevator begin to fall. Alice screamed while i held onto one of the railings for support. I felt as the emergency breaks began to work pulling the elevator to a rough halt. I sat in my own corner, too shocked to take anything in when I heard Carlisle call Emmet to help him open the doors. I leaned forward to also help. We forced them open only to reveal that we were stuck between floors. Emmet sighed and stepped back while Carlisle sunk against the door.

'Alice, are you okay?' He asked and she nodded. She pointed to where the emergency phone was and Carlisle nodded. 'Good idea,' he said smiling. 'We should be out of here in no time,' . He pulled the phone out and held it to his ear. He began talking to the person on the other side of the line and soon became angry.

'A few hours! I have a young woman down here who is nine months pregnant, she needs to get out!' he said and then realised his tone. 'I am sorry for shouting,' he said carefully and hung up the phone he turned to face us.

'Well, she said that we are safe and that it will take a few hours till we get out,' he said anger clear on his face. I heard a nervous squeak from behind me.

'I don't think we have a few hours,' Alice said. I turned to face her and saw her standing over a puddle. Her water had broken.
