EPOV

BPOV

I walked inside and picked up my fussing babies from their bassinet.

"Hush," I soothed them, rocking them back and forth. "Someone special is her to meet you guys."

Arriel touched her hand to my skin showing me a picture of Edward and I together.

"That's right my girl. Your daddy is here," I cooed to her.

Still touching my skin she showed me a picture of myself hunting the mountain lion and one of me undoing my blouse and feeding her and Jace. Again it was not a suggestion.

"Such a bossy lady," I cooed to her," but you win."

I sat down and arranged myself to feed them. As soon as they were in position they latched on readily and set about their work. I looked down at them and rubbed their tiny heads.

"Edward??? Are you going to move anytime soon?" I asked quietly.

No response.

"The family will likely be here very soon and I would really like to finish talking before they get here," I called to him.

Still no answer. I started to worry and looked down at my children, happily nursing and completely content. I rubbed their hair again watching the way Arriel's hair was starting to curl.

"She has your color hair Edward and your green eyes. He got my brown eyes and hair. Other than that he looks just like you and she looks more like me," I called out to him. I wanted him to be in here, not frozen on the patio. I looked at the babies and felt tears welling in my eyes. For crying out loud I am a vampire, I'm not supposed to be able to cry!!!

I tried to blink the traitor tears away but more just followed.

In no time at all Edward was on his knees in front of us. Wiping my tears away.

"I've made you cry," he told me. "I'm so sorry."

He leaned over his nursing children and kissed me softly on the lips.

"I'm a vampire for crying out loud. I'm not supposed to be able to cry!" I told him.

"I told you that you were special," he said, rubbing my cheek. I leaned my hand against his skin. For the first time ever he didn't feel cold.

"So Jace and Arriel. WOW!!" he said, slowly looking at the twins. "They are stunning Bella. How did you do this?"

"Ummm, well we did this first off." I grinned at him, then looked at the babies.

"I guess we did. I feel like such a heel leaving you to deal with this alone. I should have been there," he said sadly.

"Edward, we can't change the past. We can only move on with the future. Just don't leave us again. We need you," I told him.

"Bella, I will never leave you again. I swear!" He touched my jaw again with his hand and sat on the floor watching me nurse our babies.

"I have never seen anything more beautiful that you three like that," he told me.

I smiled at him.

"So how did it go? I mean I want to know everything I missed," he told me.

"Well that is a tall order. After I got confirmation of my pregnancy, I knew I wasn't working with the 9 month kind. Here I was a week after conception with a visible baby bump and someone fluttering against my hand," I told him, looking at the babies the whole time.

"I knew I wasn't dealing with a human baby and I didn't know if you were planning to coming back, so I tried to go somewhere far away so that the baby wouldn't harm anyone." He winced at that.

"I crossed into Canada..." I started again.

"Let me see if I can figure out what happened from there. You stayed at a motel, ate some dinner at their restaurant, went shopping at Walmart, traded your truck in for a new Jeep and headed up country to Williams Lake," He surmised. "Am I right?"

"Actually you are right on the button. How did you know? Alice?" I asked.

"She helped some, but she hasn't been able to see you. I would guess it has something to do with these two," He said, reaching down for the first time to run a finger along each of their cheeks.

Arriel paused and turned her head in his direction. She looked at him and blinked then reached her hand for me. She showed me the two of us hugging and kissing.

"What was that?" Edward asked.

"You saw that huh? She has a gift. She can put pictures into peoples minds. So far she has to touch me or Rose to do it. But I guess with your gift she doesn't need contact. Also she can show you things that haven't happened yet and places she has never seen," I told him.

"And Jace?" He asked.

"Nothing yet, aside from the fact he is venomous." I told him.

"So he bit you?" Edward asked, pained again.

"Yes, shortly after they were born. Twelve hours later, I was a vampire," I told him.

"Twelve hours?" he asked. "It usually takes 3 days."

"I know. I don't understand it myself."

"And your eyes are already golden?"

"Weird huh?"

"Yeah," he agreed.

"And my throat doesn't burn."

"Not at all?"

"Nope, I just felt a little thirsty."

"Alice saw you take down a mountain lion."

"Yup, my first vampire act." I smiled at him. The twins were done eating and I fixed my shirt.

"So do you want to hold your son or daughter?" I asked him.

"Nope," he answered, then paused, "I want to hold them both."

He moved to sit next to me on the couch and I placed Jace and Arriel in his arms. He smiled down at them.

"You're right she looks just like you, but with my hair and eye color. Jace looks like me with your coloring. They are perfect. You did so good."

I looked at Edward with our children and my heart grew fifty sizes.

"I have never been so happy," I told him.

"Me neither Love, me neither," he responded. He handed me Arriel and wrapped his free arm around me and the four of us sat on the couch enjoying being together.

"We have two minutes before the others arrive," He said, snuggling me close to him.

"What do you think they will think?" I asked. "What do you think they'll say?" I asked.

"Depends what Rosalie told them. I hear the cars on the driveway." He smiled.

I smiled at him and snuggled in tighter against his side.

"Oh dear they're all curious. It appears Rosalie left the baby news up to us." He smiled. "You ready for the questions Love?"

"As long as you're with me I am."

"Always my Love,always!" he said, leaning down to kiss me.

We snuggled in tighter on the couch. Our sleeping children tucked into our arms, waiting for the family.
