Chapter 41. 4th of July

Once the shock of us having twins disappeared, Edward and I were really excited about it. We hadn't told Riley yet because we didn't want him saying anything about it at the party before we were ready to announce the big news.

It was now the day of the 4th of July party, and we had just pulled into Carlisle's driveway. We were running a bit late because I had a difficult time with my morning sickness earlier. The driveway was already full, so it looked like we were the last ones to arrive.

We rang the doorbell, but nobody answered. Music could be heard coming from the backyard, so we assumed that no one heard us and walked to the back of the house.

Everyone was so busy doing stuff, that they didn't notice us right away. Alice and Rosalie were sitting on some lounge chairs talking with drinks in their hands, and my dad and Carlisle were sitting at a picnic table sipping on some beers while watching Emmett and Jasper play some kind of card game.

As we made our way over to the picnic table, they finally noticed us.

"Hey. We've been wondering where you guys have been." said Charlie.

"Sorry about that. We overslept." I told them.

"Well, all that matters is that you three are here now." said Carlisle with a smile on his face. "Would you guys like something to drink? There's a bunch of different stuff in the cooler over by the table."

"Sure, thanks." said Edward. He walked over to the cooler and grabbed a beer for himself, a water for me, and a juice box for Riley.

He walked back over to us and set our drinks down in front of us. "Thank you." I said.

"Your welcome." he said as he sat down. I picked up my water bottle and took a drink from it.

Emmett looked at the bottle in my hand and said, "What's with the water? It's the 4th of July. It's not as fun if you don't have some kind of alcohol in your system." he joked.

Everyone turned around and looked at me.

I didn't plan on telling them I was pregnant again until a little while later, so I told him, "I ate something last night that didn't really agree with me, so I don't want to risk upsetting my stomach again."

Emmett frowned. "Well that sucks."

I shrugged. "It's okay. I'll be fine."

Satisfied with my explanation, everybody turned back to what they were doing, and Edward leaned over and whispered into my ear, "That was a close call. When do you want to tell them?"

"I was thinking we'd tell them after we eat, before the fireworks start." I whispered back.

Edward nodded. "Sounds good." he said.

For the next couple of hours, we all talked, and played games, and just had a bunch of fun until the food arrived. Carlisle ordered a couple of pizzas for us to eat.

After we had finished eating and everyone's stomachs had settled, Edward and I decided it was time to tell the family the good news.

They were all talking, so Edward stood up, and cleared his throat to get their attention. "Um, can I have everyone's attention please?" All the talking stopped and all eyes were on him. "Bella and I have something important to tell all of you."

I stood up next to him and took his hand in mine. "I'm pregnant."

They were all so happy for us.

"How far along are you?" asked Rosalie.

"I'm about 9 weeks." I replied.

Alice bounced on her feet and clapped her hands. "Oh, a honeymoon baby. How sweet."

"Congratulations, you two." said Jasper.

"Yeah. Congrats!" said Emmett.

"Wait!" shouted Edward. "There's more news."

My dad and Carlisle and everyone else looked at us in surprise. "There's more?" they asked.

Edward and I had big smiles on our faces. "We're having twins!"

To say they were surprised was an understatement. They were ecstatic. More congratulations went around along with lots of hugging and talking.

A few minutes later, the fireworks began, and we watched them until they were done.

The night wore on, and it was soon time for us to go home. We said our goodbyes to our very happy and excited family, and went home.

I had a feeling that we would be seeing much more of our family in the next 7 months.

A/N: So, how was it?

I'm not sure if I'll be able to update again this week. I have to have surgery on the 6th to have my wisdom teeth removed, so I'm going to be in a lot of pain. I'll do my best to get you another chapter, but I'm not promising anything. Sorry. :(

Thanks for reviewing, favoriting, and following.

See you soon! :)
