CHAPTER 21

RPOV

As Bella moved around her little house preparing to leave, I moved my car up the driveway and fiddled a little under the hood of Bella's Jeep. I just had to make a few alterations to improve the ride and speed. I'd give it a full upgrade at home.

As I walked into the cottage again I was thinking about all that had happened. Half Vampire Baby!! Babies!!! Wow! I guess I could not have seen THAT coming. Stupid cell phones that don't work in Canada. Carlisle was really going to need to do something about that. Carlisle... I thought smiling.

"What's got you smiling?" Bella asked while nursing the babies on the couch.

"A few things actually. Shall I list them?" I asked smiling even more.

"Please. If you don't mind." she said

"Well first of all, You." I smiled at her.

"Me??" she asked

"Edward was right. You don't see yourself very clearly. First off you managed a vampire pregnancy and managed to get those two little healthy monsters into this world alone. Then you are so good with them. It's like second nature to you. You are an awesome Mom. And then the Vampire thing!! You are a newborn vampire less than 12 hours old and yet you have more control than anybody I have ever met. EVER!! You are such a natural at all this Bella. I think you were born for this life."

"If I weren't a vampire I'd be blushing." she smiled looking down at the twins.

"Then I was thinking of the rest of the family's reaction to all this." I laughed.

"I don't know what to expect.... except maybe from Alice." she smiled

"Yeah Alice will want to shop for them. Immediately!! But Carlisle will want to study them and measure them and weight them and... you get the picture. You are going to have a lot of questions to answer from him. His mind will go a million miles a minute until he figures this all out. Not only the twins will intrigue him but YOU!! I mean 12 hour conversion, no red eyes and so much control. Not to mention that the twins are breast fed. Seriously I am completely in awe he's not going to leave you alone for months."

"And the others?" she asked

"Emmett is such a child he'll be ready to play. Uncle Emmett." I smiled at the thought of my big teddy bear playing with the babies, "And Jasper will love the emotional climate you send out."

"Rose, how will Edward take it? I mean everything. The babies and my ummm changes" she asked quietly.

"Bella he loves you. He loves you with his entire being. Leaving you was his way of protecting you but as soon as Alice told him you were not safe he was searching for you. As long as he exists he will love you. As for the twins... I imagine he will be shocked but he will adore them. Nobody knew that this was possible. Believe me, once he gets you in his arms.... you will get your happily ever after." I told her passionately.

"Thank you Rose." she said smiling down at the twins who were now snoozing instead of eating.

"Okay do they need changing before we hit the car?" I asked.

"Jace isn't smelling so sweet. We better get them all set before we go."

I changed Arriel while she changed Jace and we got them into the car just after 4pm. Bella sat in the back and held her little miracles. I teased and called them monsters but they were certainly angelic. We needed to make Kamloops by 6pm if we were going to make it to a baby store.

Watching Bella with the babies was awesome. I can't help but wonder what the future will hold for these two.

"So car seats are a must! Everything else can be dealt with when everyone gets home." she said, "Right Rose?"

"Bella I am not going to agree to JUST buying car seats. Just be thankful it's me not Alice." I said patting her hand.

"We don't need a ton." she said

"Bella you do realize that this is as close as any of the rest of us will get to having children. I mean I would love to have my own kids BUT since I can't I'll just settle for spoiling yours." I told her smiling

"I guess I can't argue with that logic." she said smiling down at her sleeping miracles.

"You know I never wanted to me a mother. I never felt that pull. Then the second it was a possibility I knew there was nothing that I would ever want more. I mean they are just so perfect. So much like Edward." she smiled

"Look we're getting into Kamloops now. Let's find the Babies R Us store and get these guys taken care of." I said

We got into the parking lot and out of the car. We actually reached the door when I suddenly realized I was taking a newborn vampire into a building full of humans. I turned to Bella and I was about to say something when she froze.

"Bella what's wrong?" I asked

"Can I do this Rosalie?" she asked, "I mean there's humans in there!!"

"Bella can you smell them now? Is your throat burning?" I asked her quietly

"I can smell them, but no burning." she said

"Dear God Bella!! I haven't even taken you hunting yet!! We seriously need to get that taken care of." I told her

"But what about the twins? I mean what do we do now?" she asked

"Tell you what we will go in together. Get car seats and those baby carrier things then we'll leave. Just quick. Tell me if you feel anything bad. Tell me if there is anything you can't handle. Oh yeah and don't breathe if you can help it just move your shoulders a bit so it looks like you're breathing." I told her. Edward is seriously going to kick my butt for this. Newborn vampire, hasn't hunted yet and I am taking her to a mall.

We were able to get car seats and carriers as well as a couple of outfits for each baby in about 5 minutes. We got back to the car and got the babies into their seats. A pink seat for Arriel and a green seat for Jace. They were truly little angels.

"Seriously Bella. Those little angels sleep so well and you are the only mother on the planet who doesn't need sleep." I laughed.

"Are we going back to Forks now Rose?" she asked.

"I think it's best but we're going to have to go off road across the border because we don't have any papers for the twins. It may take a little longer. Good thing you got a Jeep."

"I trust you Rosalie." she said. I watched her lost in her thoughts as we drove south, drove home. I realized how strange this must be for her, all the changes she has gone through mentally and physically. Bella was strong and would never be underestimated by anyone, except maybe herself. We drove in silence, the only noise, the sound of the tires on the road and the twins' quick breaths and beating hearts. We were going home and when the others arrived what a reunion it would be!!!
