The Day that Changed their Lives…Again
Edward POV
"This is not what the hell I asked for Nathan!"
I yelled dropping the papers on to my desk and running my fingers through my hair. "I'm sorry Mr. Cullen, I may have gotten confused and…" I raised my hand up stopping him from continuing with is pointless excuse.
"Fix it by three O'clock or you can start looking for another job."
I tell him and he quickly picks up the papers and rushes out of my office. I press the intercom button to ask Kayla to order lunch for Isabella and I. I knew she would be here soon for lunch like she was every day since her maternity leave started. There was a knock on my open door and Jessica's head peeked into the room.
"Do you have a minute Edward?"
She asked and I waved for her to come on in. She enters my office and closes the door behind her. "We have a slight problem." She says sitting down in the chair in front of my desk.
"What is it?"
I ask trying not to sound annoyed with her, "The investors in Beijing are not happy with the new contract and are requesting you fly out for negotiations." She tells me and I run my fingers through my hair when I ask,
"When?"
"Tomorrow."
She answers and I shake my head, "Out of the question. Isabella is practically at the end of her pregnancy and she can't fly and I am not leaving the country without her." I reply sternly and she inhales a shaky breath. I could see the fair in her eyes.
"This is a large contract Mr. Cullen and…"
"I know that Jessica, but my wife is weeks away from giving birth to our daughters. So tell them I said no."
I say more sternly and she nods her head getting up. "Tell them I can send you or Mac otherwise they can deal with the contract they already signed and cut their losses." I inform her and she nods her head again and exits my office.
I pulled out the pocket watch Isabella had brought me as a wedding gift and checked the time. She was late and if it wasn't for me knowing she was with Seth I would have been worried. As if she could hear my thoughts from where she was my phone rang.
"You're late Mrs. Cullen."
"I know we're in a traffic jam, there was an accident."
She replies and I began to worry. "Are you alright?" I ask her and she quickly assures me that she is and that I have nothing to worry about.
"I missed you last night."
I tell her looking at the picture of us that rested on my desk. Last night she spent the night with Rosalie, Alice and Angela. It was an unofficial baby shower sleep over or whatever Angela called it. Isabella said she didn't want all the attention from people who didn't really care about her so they planned a little sleep over last night and a spa day today with those who did actually care about her instead.
"I missed you too. I don't like sleeping away from you."
"Me either cheri. No more sleepovers?"
I ask and she giggles, god I loved when she did that. "Nope, unless it's with you." She replies and I laugh at her playfulness.
"Oh baby traffic is starting to move. I'll be there soon."
She tells me and "Alright tell Seth to drive like he has some sense. He's carrying my most precious cargo." I say and she laughs. "Bye Edward, I love you." She says obviously ignoring me. "I love you too Isabella, see you when you get here." I say and then we hang up.
After talking to her I decided to try and get some more work done before she arrived. I checked the sales of the tablet and was happy with the numbers. I then looked into the hotels and was happy with those numbers as well. The company had completely turned around in the last two years and I knew my grandfather would be proud. I sat back in my seat and thought about the changes. It had been two years since my grandfather died and a year today since Isabella ran into me with her coffee cup at the diner. I smiled thinking about the note she had sent me with the money to pay for my dry cleaning.
I think some part of me even then knew that Isabella was the woman I would spend the rest of my life with. There was a knock at my door and I told the person to enter. When I saw it was Victoria I tried not to show my annoyance. I found out something from Vincent that I wanted to discuss with her. He notified me that Victoria had been to visit James at least twice. She was great at her job but her personal vendetta against Isabella was going to cost her, her job. This was her last chance to redeem herself.
"Mr. Cullen you said that you were open to do interviews about the transition of the company in the past year and I have some lined up for you."
She says sitting down and I only nod my head waiting for her to continue. "First Business Illustrated would like to do another article with you, also Life and Time magazine." She continues and again I only nod my head.
"I know you said you were open to two television interviews and in my opinion I don't think Wake up America would be a good choice."
She tells me and I smirk at her, "I didn't ask you your opinion Victoria. I said that I would do two television interviews as long as one of them was on Wake up America." I inform her again and she shifts in her seat.
"But Mr. Cullen, everyone would assume you are only doing it because Bel-I mean Mrs. Cullen is your wife."
She sneers the last part of her sentence and I try not to laugh. "They would be right, is that a problem?" I ask and she looks down at the papers in her lap.
"Then I think you should do three television interviews. It would look better for the company anyway. I mean no one really watches that show and…"
"I beg to differ; the show is third in the country almost beating out the Today show and Good morning America."
I inform her and she inhales, "Mr. Cullen don't you think it is just a little bias that you only want to work with places your wife agreed to? I mean it makes it appear that you are not the strong entrepreneur but a man who needs his wife's approval. Is that the image you want?" She asked me and I smiled at her. The way she said wife did not go unnoticed to me.
"What is your issue with the show Victoria is it that I picked the third morning show in the country instead of the leading two or is it that Isabella my wife is the host of the one I picked?"
I asked her and she takes another deep breath. "As the company's Public Rep it is my responsibility to make sure that the company and you as the CEO get all the good publicity necessary to keep us in the light and high in stocks. I just don't think doing a show with your wife will send out the right message." She answers and I sit back against my chair and ask,
"Do you know why I haven't fired you Victoria despite your obvious hatred for my wife?"
"I don't hate her."
"Yes you do now answer my question; do you know why I haven't fired you?"
I ask her again and she crosses her legs. "Because I am great at my job, I work hard and am loyal to this company and you Mr. Cullen." She answers and I laugh.
"Great at your job would mean you didn't leave company information laying around for James to get a hold of."
I tell her and she looks away from me. When I found out that was how James had gotten all the information on the company I wanted to fire Victoria then, but Isabella told me not to. She said that James was sneaky and warning Victoria would be enough to scare her to make sure nothing like that ever happened again. I agreed then, but that all changed now. Listening to her let me know she still held some hatred towards Isabella and knowing she's been visiting James made me uneasy. So I had already made my decision she would no longer be working for Masen Corp.
"I'll admit you work hard and are loyal to this company. But believe me I can get someone else to be just as hard working as you are and pay them less then what I pay you. The only reason I did not fire you when I first found out about your relationship to James is because unlike me, my wife is not vengeful. She knows you have children to take care of, and we all know if I fire you, you will never have another job in this industry again. You are still here because of my wife."
I inform her and she looks uncomfortable again. "You've been working with me long enough Victoria to know that I don't take kindly to someone crossing me or putting my loved ones in danger. I know about your meetings with James, and with your hatred against Isabella I no longer trust you. I don't believe you are the type of person to harm another person physically, but conspiring with James seems to make people stupid" I inform her and she simply nods her head looking like she was actually about to cry.
"I swear Mr. Cullen I was just meeting with an ex, nothing more."
"And I hope you can understand that after everything he has put my wife through and you're…let's say dislike for her I do not trust what you claim."
"So are you firing me Mr. Cullen?"
"We'll just say I let you go for professional differences. I will provide you will a recommendation letter because of your terrific work ethic but if you come near my wife I will ruin you."
I tell her and her eyes go large and she swallows hard. "I understand." She says just as my office door opens. I knew it would only be Isabella or Emmett seeing that the person didn't knock. I grinned seeing Isabella's belly before actually setting my eyes on her face. I quickly get up and walk over to her. I place a kiss on her lips then my hand over her large stomach.
"How are my girls?"
"Tired, your office needs to be closer to the elevator."
She says and I laugh taking her hand. She smiled when she noticed Victoria. "Hello Victoria." She says and Victoria quickly jumps up.
"Hello Bel-Mrs. Cullen."
She replies quickly correcting herself. "Mr. Cullen thank you, I've enjoyed working with Masen Corp." Victoria says and I nod my head as I help Isabella sit down on the sofa in my office. Victoria leaves closing the door behind her.
"What did I just walk in on?"
Isabella asked sitting back and rubbing her hand over her stomach. I could see the girls moving and I could tell by the look on Isabella's face it was becoming painful.
"I just fired her."
"What why?"
Isabella asked and I didn't want to tell her about Victoria meeting with James because I didn't want her getting upset. She had finally stopped with the nightmares, and she was too far along to be stressed about nothing. So I gave her the excuse I would be giving everyone else.
"Professional differences, she doesn't think I should do the show with you."
"So you fired her?"
Isabella asked looking at me with a questioning look in her eyes. "Yes." I answer and she stares at me for a moment, I could tell she didn't believe my bullshit. After awhile she just shakes her head.
"Fine, so who are you going to hire to replace her?"
Isabella asked and I shrug my shoulders. "I have an idea, if you're opened to hearing it." She says and I rub her stomach feeling the girls push back against my hand.
"Of course I want to hear it."
"You and Emily have been on better terms and I know you've been thinking about giving her some responsibility but not signing her back on to the company."
"You think I should hire Emily as Masen Corporations new P.R?"
"Who better?"
Isabella asked me and I sat there and thought about what she said. Despite everything Emily cared about the company. The issue would be how she would feel about taking orders from me.
"I'll talk to her about it."
I tell Isabella and she nods her head. She makes a face and starts to rub the side of her stomach. I looked at her with a questioning look and she just shook her head.
"I'm fine really, just some pain."
"Isabella, are you sure?"
"Yes, they feel just like those Braxton hicks ones I had last week."
She says and I nodded my head. Last week we thought she was in labor, and jumped out of bed in the middle of the night. Turned out they were just Braxton hicks contractions. Then a few nights ago it happened again and it turned out to be just gas. Isabella was embarrassed but I assured there was nothing to be embarrassed about. Her doctor told us then that if Isabella didn't have the girls in the next week she would induce her labor. There was a knock at the door and I told the person to come in. Kayla walked in carrying a to-go bag from Isabella and my favorite Italian restaurant.
"Hi, Mrs. Cullen."
Kayla says with a smile as she puts the bag down on my desk. "Hi Kayla, how are you?" Isabella asked her with a smile. I got up from the couch and walked over to check the food. Though I knew Kayla was aware of Isabella's allergy I still checked anyway.
"I'm good Mrs. Cullen how are you?"
I heard Kayla ask, "Ready for these two to get here." Isabella replied and I smiled. "It seems they got their stubbornness from their mother Kayla." I say and wink at Isabella.
"Yes and it appears they have their fathers sense of humor sending me into false labor twice in one week."
She replied and I laughed pulling out our food cartons. Isabella and I sit down and have lunch together as she tells me about the belly cast Rosalie and my mother took her to get earlier today.
"It felt weird, and I kept it on for what felt like forever until it dried enough to position alone on the stand."
"How was the pregnancy massage did that help with your back pain any?"
I ask her and she nods her head as she places her fork in her mouth. I wipe some food from the corner of her mouth and she blushes. I seriously wished that the girls inherited her blush. A silence falls between us and I can see the worry in her eyes before she asked her question.
"Was I wrong for saying I didn't want a baby shower?"
"Cheri, you're pregnant not them. If you didn't want one you didn't want one. You don't have to please everyone else."
I tell her and she nods her head, "It's just your mother and mine really wanted to give me one and…" I lean over and place a kiss on her lips shutting her up. I place one more peck on her lips before I ask.
"Everyone already brought the girls what they wanted right?"
"Yes."
"They all took you out for a pregnancy spa day and had your belly casted right?"
"Yes."
"So did you do anything you wouldn't have done at a baby shower?"
I ask her and she smiles shaking her head. "I guess not." She says. We finish eating and then my phone rings and I see that it's Alice. I pull it from my pocket and quickly answer.
"Hey Alicat."
"Hey Edward, I was just calling to let you know that I'm done the nursery finally."
She says and I laugh because we both know the delay was my fault. I ordered a carousel for the girls room and Alice had to find away to fit it in.
"Alright we'll be there soon."
I tell her and then press the end button on the phone. "Is Alice done the nursery?" Isabella asked her excitement peeked.
"Yes."
I answer with a smile and she puts her food down. "I'm not hungry anymore can we go now?" She asked and I smile and nod my head. I clean up our lunch and then let Kayla know that I was leaving for the day and that she was free to go. As Isabella and I walk out of my office Jessica is coming up the hall.
"Hey Bella, you look like a balloon ready to pop."
Jessica teases and Isabella laughs, "I feel like it, how are you and Stanley?" Isabella asked and Jessica informs her they are doing well. She then looks at me with a more professional look on her face.
"Edward I talked to the investors in Beijing and they agreed on the proposal I offered them. I will fly out first thing Monday to have them sign it."
Jessica tells me and I nod my head, "I knew you would take care of it, thank you Jessica." I reply and she smiles.
"Of course, it's what I'm here for. Plus I may as well get you use to it. You'll be practically out for six months once they get here."
Jessica says rubbing Isabella's stomach. Isabella looks up at me, "Will you now?" she asked and I smirk. I hadn't let Isabella know that I took that time off with her. I wouldn't be completely off from work but I was to only be called only if completely necessary.
"I want to be home with my three girls, it's not like it will hurt us financially."
I say and she rolls her eyes with a smile on her face. We leave the office and walk to my car since I had driven myself to work this morning. The moment we pulled out of the garage the paparazzi snapped their pictures. Isabella waved at them and I called her a tease. When we get home Alice is waiting for us with a smile on her face.
"Ready?"
She asked and Isabella nodded her head yes with a smile. We follow Alice up stairs and stop just outside of the nursery. Isabella bit her lip and smiled up at me.
Bella POV
I was nervous. I was nervous about seeing the room, nervous about being a good wife to Edward and extremely nervous about being a mother. The room was the easy part to focus on so I turned to Alice and nodded my head letting her know I was ready. She stepped to the side and I smiled seeing a quote on the door of the nursery. It read: It's double the giggles and double the grins, and double the trouble if you're blessed with twins. ~Author Unknown
"I had this put on today. I didn't want either of you to see it until I was ready to reveal the room."
Alice says and I feel the tears in my eyes so I just nod my head and mouth thank you. She smiles and slowly opens the door to the room. I gasp as I take the nursery in. On the right there were two white wooden cribs positioned next to each other against the wall. They had hot pink ribbons tied to the side bars that matched the trim of the sofa sectional that was adjacent to the cribs. I walked further into the room and looked down at the plush white carpet under my feet. Hanging over the cribs were the girls names, and on the wall between them was a tree in bloom. I slowly walk over to the cribs and look down inside of them imagining the girls asleep.
Alice begins to describe the quote on the ceiling and I look up. There were stars painted on the ceiling with the moon around the light. I noticed the quote encircling the moon, Once upon a star filled sky we made a wish for you, not only did God send us one miracle. He sent us two. ~Author Unknown I smile and go to look back at Alice when something else catches my eye. Then I see it, sitting in the corner of the room is a carousel. I slowly began to walk over to it and see a sign on it that says,
From Daddy
I turn around and look at Edward who is smiling at me. "You do know they can't actually ride this until they are at least two." I say to him and he shrugs his shoulders.
"I just really wanted them to have it."
He says and I shake my head, "Edward they are not even here yet and you're spoiling them already." I say looking back at the carousel. I feel his arms slide around my waist.
"My girls deserve only the best…" he says then places his hand on my stomach. "…all three of you." He finishes and I relax against his chest as I look around the room some more. There was a rocking chair between the carousel and the changing table, with a picture of Edward kissing my stomach on the wall. The dresser sat in front of the window and on the closet door was a painting of the Eiffel tower.
"Alice this is amazing."
I say still basking in the beauty of the nursery. I notice an empty wooden picture frame above the window, with a quote etched into it. I couldn't make out what it said so I asked Edward to read it.
"Twice as much to love, two blessings from above. ~Author Unknown"
"I thought you would want to put the girl's picture in there once you two have them done."
Alice says and I look over at her with a smile on my face. I pull myself from Edward's arms and walk over to Alice giving her a hug.
"Thank you Ali this is beautiful."
I tell her feeling the tears fall from my eyes. Edward thanks her for all her hard work on the girls' room and fitting the carousel into the room. After we have our moment we go down to the kitchen because I had a sudden craving for ice cream. Edward said he was going to go to the office and finish up some work since he left work early.
I make me a bowl of vanilla and mint ice cream and Alice and I go into the living room to watch television. When I turn the TV on, some soap opera is playing. Neither of us was sure what the hell was happening other than some middle aged woman with too much makeup was arguing with another woman.
"This is really bad acting."
Alice says and I laugh while placing a spoon in my mouth. "They probably slept with the producer." I say and Alice laughs. We continued to watch even though neither of us actually wanted to. It was like a mouth to a flame. We just couldn't look away. It was a good distraction from the cramp I was having in my side. When the women started their cat fight Alice and I started laughing.
"Please turn from this mess."
Alice said and I shook my head, "No I think it's funny." I tell her and she looks at me like I lost my mind. I place my spoon in my mouth and she gets up for the remote. I quickly grab it stuffing it under my leg.
"Do you really want to watch this?"
"Nope. I just like watching you squirm. Call it payback for making me your Barbie doll."
I tell her and she laughs. "You pay me to do that." Alice says with a smile and I laugh shaking my head. "I could just take your ice cream and run. It's not like you could chase me." Alice says and my jaw drops in horror.
"Alice Mary Hale that is the meanest thing you have EVER said to me."
I reply and she laughs sitting down, "You are so lucky I love you." She tells me and I pull the remote from under my leg and finally turn the channel. We sit there watching TV when I get this cramp in my side tighter then the others. I groan louder then I meant to.
"Bella are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
I tell her trying to rub out the cramp. Then it happens again harder this time and I groan louder. Alice jumps up from the couch standing in front of me now.
"Bella you might be going into labor."
She says and I shake my head, "It's probably gas...again" I tell her and then I feel this rush of wetness and I quickly look up at her.
"Bella…"
She says in worry and I place my hand over my stomach as I feel another cramp. I breathe through it then look up at Alice again.
"Alice either I just pissed on myself or my water broke."
I tell her and she looks freaked then she yells out to Edward. "What's wrong?" He asked running to the living room.
"I-I think Bella—Bella's water broke."
Alice stuttered out and then I hear Edward yell out an oh shit. "Are you sure?" He asked and I look over at him.
"Do you want to come and check the soaked couch cushion?"
I ask him as I felt another cramp. "Right." He says nodding his head. When I feel another cramp I growl and then Edward begins to move at lightning speed.
I never saw the man move so fast in my life. I breathed through what I knew now were my contractions and watched Edward grab our jackets, my overnight bag, his keys and then rush out the door.
"How long do you think it will take for him to realize he forgot you?"
Alice asked and I smile shaking my head. The front door flew open and Edward rushed over to me.
"Forget something?" I asked with a smile
"Sorry."
He says helping me up from the couch and I nod my head. Alice and Edward help me to the car and Alice says she'd call everyone for us and would meet us at the hospital. Sitting in the passenger seat it was starting to hit me that this was really about to happen. We were finally about to meet our girls.
Edward was paying more attention to me then the road and I had to tell him to focus. When we made it to the hospital he got me inside but forgot my bag that had my medical information in it. He ran out to grab it from the car and I walked over to the receptionist desk.
"Hello I'm Isabella Cullen and I'm in labor."
I tell the woman and she looks up at me. Her face brightens with a smile. "Oh my god Bella from Wake up America! I watch your show every morning." She says I try not to roll my eyes but fail.
"That's nice, can you get my doctor. Dr. Ko and tell her I'm in labor."
I say again this time between clenched teeth. "Oh god yes I'm sorry." She says rushing from behind the desk. When she comes over to me with a wheelchair Edward is back with my bag. She takes us back to a room and lets me know that my doctor was being paged. Edward helps her get me into a gown and then into the bed. She hooks me up to the machines and I hold my breath as another contraction hits. Edward holds my hand saying words of encouragement. When it passes I relax against the bed.
"Edward I can't do this…"
I say hating the pain, "Yes you can cheri, I don't know anyone stronger than you." He says and I shake my head as another contraction starts. He holds my hand and coaches me to breath.
"So third time the charm?"
Dr. Ko says as she enters the room. "Apparently." I breathe out and she laughs. "Can you scoot down to the edge for me?" she asks and I nod my head as I sit up. Edward helps me move further down and Dr. Ko places my feet in the foot rest.
"Did your water break?"
"Yes."
I answer as another contraction starts, "Don't push." Dr. Ko tells me and I nod my head as I squeeze Edward's hand.
"You're doing really good baby."
Edward whispers in my ear and I just nod my head. I wanted to scream, but I knew if I did Edward would lose it. So I inhaled deep breaths slowly releasing them.
"I need you to try and relax Bella."
Dr. Ko says and I nod my head and lay back. Edward whispers in my ear as I feel Dr. Ko's hand enter me. I flinch because it hurts.
"They are ready to make their debut appearance. You're already six centimeters Bella."
She tells me and I smile knowing I only had four more to go. "Since you are already six centimeters, it's too late for an epidural." She continues and I groan falling back against the pillows.
"Hopefully those last four centimeters come as fast as the first six. Just remember to take deep breaths and relax alright?"
Dr. Ko asked and I nodded my head not trusting my voice. She leaves the room and Edward sits down in the chair next to the bed.
"Think they'll be born before the day is over?"
I ask him and he places his hand on my stomach. "It would be ironic." He says and I smile because he was right. Two years ago today I started hosting the show and James and my marriage ended. Two years ago today Edward's grandfather died and he officially became Masen Corps CEO. Only a year ago we met at the diner and I interviewed him for the first time on National television.
"I'll never look at this date the same again that's for sure."
I say and Edward laughs placing a kiss on my temple. "Me either." He says rubbing my stomach. I look over at the monitor and see another contraction coming. Edward notices and holds my hand a little tighter as he tells me to take in deep breaths. It hurt so badly, the tears started down my cheeks before I could stop them. When it passes I fall back against the pillows and Edward places his forehead against mine.
"Two years ago when I saw you on television you had already placed yourself permanently in my soul and I didn't know it then."
He says and I smile at him, "I never told anyone this but I had a crush on you something ridiculous before we met." I tell him and he laughs.
"Have I lived up to your fantasies?"
"Out shined them in more than one way."
I reply with a giggle and he laughs. "Naughty girl…" He teases kissing my nose. "I love you Isabella." He says in a more serious tone and I look into his eyes and see the truth of his words, and like always it took my breath away. I reached up cupping his face,
"I love you too."
I reply and he places a kiss on my lips. When another contraction hits its harder this time and I keep myself from screaming. I didn't know how other women did this more than once willingly. The nurse let us know when our family arrived and Edward said he was going to go out and talk to them.
"I'll be right up the hall ok?"
He asked and I nodded my head. He placed a kiss on my forehead, then my lips and then my stomach before he left the room. I inhaled deep breaths as I felt another contraction starting. Thankfully my nurse was still in the room and she coached me through it.
"Have you picked out names?"
She asked me and I smiled nodding my head yes. I didn't trust my voice without me screaming out in agony. When Dr. Ko came back in she checked to see if I dilated any more. I knew I had by the smile on her face.
"They must be in a rush, you're eight centimeters. Bella this is good most first mother's labor is for hours."
She tells me and I thank the heavenly stars that I would not be going through this for hours. I then tell her what I hadn't told Edward. I felt the contractions this morning, but they were milder than the ones now and assumed they were gas.
"That's fine, the girls are not in distress and going on about your normal daily activities doesn't make you feel like you've been in labor all day when it appears that you have been."
She says and I laugh just as another contraction starts. Edward enters the room and rushes over to my side once he see's my face.
"Edward we're going to start prepping the room, you're little girls will be here soon."
Dr. Ko tells him and he smiles at me. "I can't wait to meet them." He says and I grin agreeing. More nurses start to enter the room and Edward stays next to me telling me who all was in the waiting room.
"They have to be taking up the entire waiting room."
I say and Edward laughs, "They are, but when your family paid for a wing of the hospital they tend not to worry about how many people you have in the waiting room." He says and I laugh. The contractions continue to come and as if torture the last two centimeters took an hour to come. When I finally hit ten centimeters it was time to push and I was beyond nervous. My nurse stood on one side of me and Edward on the other.
"Alright Bella, it's time to push. When I say push, you push with all your might ok?"
Dr. Ko says and I nod my head not trusting my voice. She settles down in the stool at the end of the bed and waves her hand up at me when she says.
"Push."
I bear down screaming as I feel like my flesh is tearing. This was by far the most painful feeling I've ever experienced in my life. When Dr. Ko tells me to stop I fall back against the bed and Edward tells me how great I'm doing. I don't feel great I feel like I'm about to be split in two. When another contraction starts I start to push again not waiting for Dr. Ko to tell me to. I scream out in pain as I squeeze the hell out of Edward and the nurse's hand.
I fall back onto the bed needing to catch my breath and Edward kisses my temple still whispering into my ear.
"You're doing good Bella, get ready to push again."
Dr. Ko tells me and I take in a shaky breath. "It hurts so bad." I mumble and Edward places his forehead against mine.
"I know cheri, a few more pushes and then Kiah and Keiara will be here ok?"
He whispers and I nod my head just as Dr. Ko tells me to push again. I do screaming bloody fucking murder as I feel myself being stretched.
"I see a head! Keep pushing Bella."
Dr. Ko says and I growl as I push harder. I fall back against the bed needing to breath and I feel the baby suck back in. I wanted to cry, I did cry. Edward wiped my tears and continued to tell me how great I was doing. I was tempted to ask him was he watching the same delivery I was watching.
"Bella another contraction is coming; I need you to push alright."
Dr. Ko tells me and I nod my head and pull myself up. When she waves for me to push I do screaming out in pain, and then the room is filled with a much sweeter sound. It was the crying of my child, I look as Dr. Ko stands up showing me my daughter. Edward places a kiss on my temple.
"I love you Isabella, she's beautiful like her mother."
He says and I smile as they hand her to me. I kiss the top of her head and look down into her little face. "Hi Kiah." I say softly and Edward places a kiss on the top of her head.
"Bella another contraction is coming I need you to push again."
Dr. Ko says and I nod my head as Edward takes Kiah from my arms. He kisses her head and passes her to the nurse. He comes back to my side taking my hand again. When Dr. Ko tells me to push I do growling as I tried to push out Keiara. Thankfully two pushes was enough and the room was filled with her crying louder than her sister. Edward kissed my forehead as I fell back against the pillows thanking god that part was over without any complications. When they brought me Keiara I smiled down in her face, she looked just as beautiful as Kiah. I kissed the top of her head and Edward did the same.
They took the girls to clean them up and I pushed out the placenta next which god hurt like hell. Everything after that was a blur, they got us cleaned up and then had a nurse show me how to breast feed the girls. The nurse called them pro's because they latched right on. After I feed both of them they moved me to my room and had the bassinets against the wall. Edward and I still held them neither of us able to put them down.
"They're like the perfect blend of the two of us."
I say to Edward and he laughs causing both of the girls to stir some in their sleep. "They're beautiful chéri, thank you for them." He says looking down into Keiara's face then over at Kiah who I was still holding.
"Thank you for them."
I say back touching Kiah's soft brown hair. Edward places a kiss on Keiara's head, then Kiah's. I look up at him with a smile on my face.
"You look happy daddy."
I say and he grins at me, "I am mommy. The three of you own me Isabella." He says then places a kiss on my lips.
"I'm going to go get our parents before they cause a riot in the waiting room."
He says and I nod my head taking Keiara from his arms. I hold them both and Edwards kisses me and them again before he leaves the room. I look down at our girls and I officially understood the way a mother's love for her children hits her so suddenly. I nuzzled their faces and smiled when their eyes opened showing me their father's eyes.
"I love you Keiara and Kiah. I love you both so much."
I say to them. The door to the room opens and I see Edward entering with our parents behind him. My mother comes over to me first placing a kiss on my forehead then taking Keiara out of my arms. Esme comes over and kisses my cheek and takes Kiah.
"So which one am I holding?"
My mother asked, "Keiara, she has a birthmark on her arm." Edward says with a smile and I grin not surprised that already he was remembering the marks on their body.
"And mom that's Kiah, she has a mole on the corner of her eye."
Edward says with so much pride. He walked over to me as we watched our parents coo over the girls. Edward placed another kiss on my lips devouring my mouth as he whispered how much he loved me. I knew then that as long as I had Edward anything was possible.
LOL to Edward forgetting Bella, and yay the girls are born! Also do not worry about Victoria visiting James, I promise it was innocent and nothing is going to happen. Edward was just being cautious of course.
