Bella's POV:

Shopping had been fun- Paul was every girl presents donkey. I had been so mad at him for speeding and on the way home with Seth, Jarrod and Kim trying not to laugh in the back seat chewed him out and told him if he sped with me again in the car I would never let any children of ours in the car with him. Everyone met at Emily's for dinner and by the time we go home Paul was basically carrying me as well because I was already asleep.

My parents and Phil were shocked to learn we were expecting twins but still they accepted it fairly well. We learned that my due date was September 23rd and we had been back for another two ultrasounds already- Carlisle wasn't sure if a wolf pregnancy would be any different than normal so we were getting ultrasounds every two weeks which I loved and so far he thought it was just like a normal human pregnancy.

Renee and Phil had stayed for almost a week before my mom couldn't take the feeling of being trapped in Forks anymore which I understood. She never really belonged in a small town scene, she needed a big city and everything that entailed.

Valentine's Day had been last week and Paul had surprised me with lilies and chocolate (peanut butter chocolate fingers which I had been craving). I had cooked him a huge meal and bought him a couple books on old cars that I had seen him eyeing at the mall.

So far I had been lucky and wasn't showing nor had had to start wearing maternity clothes but I was only 10 weeks along. No one at school knew yet and for that I was thankful.

I was spending the night at Leah's, though Jacob and I still weren't speaking but Leah and I were closer than ever. Paul had been on patrol but since he found out about the twins he didn't want me home alone when he had to patrol so I had been spending nights with all my fabulous female friends and even a night with Seth because Sue wanted me to 'babysit' while she went to a course in Seattle.

"Bella!" Leah shrieked as I sprayed her with the extendable tap. We had been fooling around all evening and were at the moment both soaking wet. She had 'accidently' spilt a pitcher of water on me when carrying it from the table to the sink.

"Truce?" I said softly and when she nodded in agreement we both collapsed to the floor in laughter.

"So how was the ultrasound last week?" she asked quietly eyeing my still flat stomach.

"It was good, we can hear their heart beats now" I then stopped with her hearing I was sure she could hear it without the aid of technology like Paul and the Cullen's could. "Well I can hear them now."

"It's pretty awesome that you're going to be a mom" She smiled and I nodded. "Bella I don't know anymore about not having babies. Watching you accepting this so gracefully and being so happy I can't help but think that maybe I could do it too."

"Leah I am sure you could and you'd probably do it with more grace than me." I laughed "At least you wouldn't trip over your own two feet or thin air at least twice a day. I swear Paul is going to have a breakdown worrying that somehow I am going to kill myself if I am left alone too long."

She laughed too and stood before giving me a hand up. I may not be showing but already my balance or what little balance I had once had was shot. "Come on" She said "If you get sick Paul will have my tail and I don't think I am willing to find out what my tail equates to at the moment."

She got me set up with towels and bath stuff in her and Jacob's guest bathroom- they had moved in together but when I was over Jacob tended to disappear- and I set out to have a shower. As I was changing I glanced at my ring. A little more than a month and I would be Mrs. Paul Meraz.

I was getting so excited. Between the babies and the wedding though I had been stressed out and trying to keep up in school was a priority right now so I had given Alice full control over the wedding with strict guidelines that if she strayed from I had threatened playfully that she wouldn't be a baby's Godmother. Paul and I had agreed for this pregnancy Rosalie would be one baby's godmother and Alice the others and Jarrod and Seth were going to be the godfathers.

"Ready for movies Bells?" Leah asked knocking on the door.

"Yup" I said opening the door and following Leah to the master bedroom and we curled up together. This had become a ritual. Without the guys, we all felt a little lonely so we would just curl up together in whoever's house it was bed.

We watched Uptown Girls and The Hitcher. Both were good but the later made my nausea play up a bit. I'd been having horrible morning sickness for almost two weeks but Carlisle thought that maybe as soon as I hit my second trimester it would dissipate.

The morning came faster than I would have liked it to but I was excited to go and see Paul. We'd hardly seen each other in the past three days between work, patrol and school and I was feeling a little bit deprived of him.

Leah and I had breakfast, well Leah did I tried to keep down a piece of plain toast and then I headed for home.

I pulled into the driveway, parked and headed to the front door. I was surprised to see Paul sitting on the porch swing we'd just bought with a tall, dark-haired, light eyed beauty. I knew they hadn't heard me which was all the more surprising obviously Paul hadn't heard me.

I was just about to speak up when I watched them kiss. It instantly felt like my heart was torn into millions of tiny shreds, like all the progress I had made since Edward left disappeared in the two seconds it took for Paul's lips to connect to hers.

I let out a sob and turned racing up the path into the bush beside the house. I ran as fast as I could with blurred vision and I just kept going. I heard Paul call out to me but I didn't stop.

I sat down after almost an hour of running that had slowed to walking and just let my sorrow overtake me. Something told me I should keep moving but I just couldn't anymore.

"Well, well if it isn't the beautiful Bella." A Jamaican voice said and I backed further into the tree. "What are you doing out here all alone. I thought the Cullen's didn't let you go anywhere by yourself."

"Laurent" I said trying not to show my fear. I was alone and with a sadistic vampire just my luck. First my soon to be husband cheats on me with some goddess and then I become a snack for a vampire.

He started to move towards me "Well Victoria will be upset with me for having you myself but your blood is just too enticing."

He was about a foot away from me when I threw my hands up, not quite sure what I was doing or what I thought that might do to save me from a blood-thirsty vampire. I had my eyes shut tightly and was anticipating the cold touch of his marble skin against mine.

When I didn't feel it I opened my eyes and there frozen like a statue in front of me was Laurent. I cautiously moved towards his still form and touched it gently amazed and confused.

"Alice, Jasper, someone" I shouted terrified. "Someone I need help!" I really needed someone to see this so I would know I wasn't dead or nuts!
