A/N: Hey, everyone. I'm sorry for the long wait. I had surgery 2 days ago to get all of my wisdom teeth removed, and I've been in a lot of pain, so I've been unable to do much.

Also, I don't know much about giving birth, so I'm not going to go into too much detail.

This is the last chapter before the epilogue.

As usual, I'm giving a shout out to my friend Anam. She loves my story, and I love reading her reviews and thoughts. ;)

Chapter 42. Here Come The Twins

The next 7 months passed by quickly.

Edward has been so wonderful to me. He put up with my crazy mood swings and never once complained about having to wake up in the middle of the night to get me whatever kind of food I craved. And of course, he's been to every doctor's appointment I had.

Speaking of doctor's appointments, I was very surprised when he didn't want to find out the genders of the twins. He wanted to be surprised.

I'll be honest with you, I really wanted to know, but because I love him, I was willing to wait to find out too.

That was about 2 months ago.

I had a feeling that today was the big day. I had been having some small contractions throughout the day, but I had originally thought that they were Braxton Hicks contractions, because I had had some a few times this week already.

The only difference this time is that they kept getting stronger.

I was currently sitting on the sofa watching tv while Edward worked in his office.

"Edward!" I yelled.

He came running downstairs into the living room. "Are you okay?" he asked out of breath.

"I think it's time. Help me up off the couch." Edward grabbed my hands and pulled me to my feet.

"What do I do now?" asked Edward, nervously.

"Edward, calm down. We still have a bit of time. Okay?" Another contraction hit. "Go get Riley and bring him down here, and then go put my bags in the car, and then come back inside and get us."

He nodded. "Okay, got it!" And he ran off to go do those things.

10 minutes later, we were all in the car and on our way to the hospital. We had called Dr. Gerandy to let her know what was going on, and she told us she would meet us there. Then we called our family to tell them I was in labor.

Everything after we got to the hospital was a bit of a blur. I was taken to a room, given a gown to wear, and checked up on by Dr. Gerandy.

According to her, I wasn't fully dilated yet, so I still had some time to kill.

As the hours went by, a nurse came by to see how I was doing. I was in a lot of pain, and she asked me if I wanted an epidural. I accepted.

A little while later, Dr. Gerandy came by again to check my progress, and told me I was now fully dilated and ready to meet my children.

Edward was with me the entire time. I gotta say, Edward in scrubs is really hot.

After much cursing, pushing, apologizing, and more pushing, our first baby was out. It is a girl.

Then the process started all over again, until our second baby was born. This time it was a boy.

I was so exhausted, I fell asleep. The first thing I saw as I woke up, was Edward sitting in a rocking chair holding our daughter. Her twin brother was sleeping in a bassinet next to them.

"Hey." I whispered, tiredly.

Edward grinned and slowly walked over to me while holding our daughter. "Hi. How are you feeling?"

"I feel tired and sore."

"Well, I hope you're not too tired right now. We still need to give them names."

"I like Carlie Renee Cullen for her. And I like Masen Charles Cullen for him."

Edward kissed me on the cheek. "I love them. They are perfect."

A/N: Sorry again for the delay in posting. I've just been in a lot of pain, and it's not easy to type with one hand while the other is holding an icepack to your face.

The epiloque will be next, but once again, I'm not sure when I will get it posted. Hopefully it will get done sometime this week.

Thanks for reviewing, favoriting, and following.

See you soon! :)
