Bella's POV:
I glared as Paul caught the cup I threw at him and groaned in pain as another contraction hit me. I was panicking slightly as I was only 29 weeks along. I knew my boys were going to probably come early but this was too early.
Carlisle, however, had been extremely well prepared again with basically our own in home NICU thankfully.
"It'll be ok" Paul tried to reassure me closing the distance between us quickly. He grabbed my hand and smoothed back my hair kissing my already sweaty forehead. "Our boys will be ok" He whispered softly into my ear, his warm breath comforting me.
"Paul's right Bella," Esme smiled warmly at me. She had been great since my water had broken as had Emily, Kim and Angela.
"Bella you are going to have to start pushing on the next contraction" Carlisle commented. He had taken over as soon as he had returned to the house and Esme was currently ushering everyone out of the room except Alice and Rosalie. I had decided I wanted them to be there because they deserved to experience everything.
I whimpered and lay back trying to catch my breath before pain over took me again "I swear to God Paul if you don't wipe that smile off your face you will find out the hard way how it feels to be blown up." I hissed through gritted teeth. I couldn't believe that less than ten hours earlier Paul and I had been saying our vows.
I bit back another scream as the contraction hit and Carlisle started telling me in his soothing, velvety voice to push as hard as I could.
I did as I was told and within 5 pushes I heard the weak mewling cries from my first son. I collapsed back onto the bed as Carlisle placed his tiny form on my chest and handed Paul a pair of scissors to cut the cord with.
"He's sooo small" I said gently touching his head in awe.
"He is" Paul said in awed agreement. Alice lifted him away from us and I tried not to pout. I knew he needed to be looked over and cared for and I still had to do this one more time over.
Our second son was much more reluctant to be welcomed to the world. After an hour of pushing I lay back panting "I can't do this anymore" I cried.
"Bella you have to do this" Paul insisted from my shoulder gripping my hand tightly.
"No" I pouted intent on being contrary. This was harder than I had ever expected it to be and I wasn't at all impressed with Paul's constant soothing.
"Bella" Rosalie spoke up for the first time since entering the room "Just picture your adorable baby. The sooner you get this over with the sooner you can hold them both in your arms and enjoy them." Her voice was soft and a smile was gracing her face "And I want to see my godson" She added teasingly.
I nodded and when the next contraction hit pushed as hard as I could.
"There's his head" Carlisle said smiling up at me. "Another big push and I think you will have both your boys."
I nodded curtly at him and gripped Paul's hand as tight as I could. I let loose a feral scream as I pushed again. God this hurt.
I felt my body relax the instant I heard another cry fill the room this one was slightly weaker than the first but it was there and that reassured me that my boys, my sons, were going to be ok. My family was whole.
Again I watched, tears of joy now filling my eyes, as Paul cut our infant's cord and he was laid on my chest for a moment before Rosalie rushed him away also.
Paul moved onto the bed next to me and held me close whispering to me about how proud he was of me and that I had done 'so good'.
I started to drift as Carlisle continued to work on me a little bit and next thing I knew I was being awoken by an angry infant's screams. As soon as I heard it my breasts started to ache and I slowly moved out of the empty bed albeit a little awkwardly and followed the screams.
Jasper and Emmett had set the incubators in what used to be Edward's room and I wasn't surprised when over half our friends were crowded into the small space.
"Can I see my sons?" I asked pretending to pout a bit and everyone parted quickly. I was overjoyed to see Paul holding one infant in his arms and Emmett was holding the other while Rosalie fussed over him.
I took my screaming baby from Paul's arms and he swiftly planted a kiss on my lips "I'm sorry I wanted to let you rest. Today has been so stressful for you."
"It's also been an amazing day" I said not taking my eyes off my little guys tiny features "How big are they?" I asked sitting in the rocker that had been set between the two incubators.
"Baby A" Alice said pointing at the infant I was holding "Is 4 lbs 3 oz"
"And your other son is 3 lbs 11oz" Jasper smiled at me and I knew he was on happy overload from all the joy filling the room.
"What are their names?" Jarrod asked his eyes shining with excitement as he kidnapped the other baby from Emmett.
"Well Alice and Seth you are the proud godparents of Noah Wyatt Meraz" I nodded towards the baby I was holding. I fidgeted slightly and Paul moved to cover me with a blanket so I could attempt to breastfeed Noah. He latched quickly and contently fed while Paul continued.
"And Rosalie and Jarrod you are the proud godparents of Micah Charles Meraz." He reached out and gently touched Micah's forehead.
"Well guys I think we should let the new family enjoy some time together" Rosalie said confidently and continued "Oh and Paul, Bella – Carlisle is going to come and speak to you in a minute he's just finishing up the boy's blood work." She moved and I watched as she happily kissed her godson before Jarrod handed him to Paul.
"Thanks guys" I smiled tiredly at everyone who was leaving.
Everyone waved and chattered animatedly as they exited the small room.
"I can't believe we're parents" Paul commented sitting on the floor next to me cradling Micah who opened and closed his eyes slowly staring up at his father.
"I can't either" I laughed "They are so perfect. I expected them to be smaller."
"Well so did I!" Carlisle laughed from the doorway "They are actually healthy enough that they wouldn't have been hospitalized at all in a normal hospital. I think that being half werewolf allowed their bodies to mature faster."
"It makes sense" Paul nodded and he slipped one of his hands into my one free hand, squeezing gently.
"And they aren't identical" Carlisle continued "It just looked as though they were when they were in the womb" He continued "They are gorgeous guys and Esme said to inform you that you are staying here for at least a few days so that we can all help you adjust to parenthood."
"Thanks Esme!" Paul and I called out in unison.
"I'll leave you two alone" Carlisle smiled and left.
"Can we move back to the bed?" I asked I was still sore and the soft mattress sounded far more inviting than this rocking chair.
"Sure we can and maybe we should call your father to tell him he has two perfect grandsons" Paul said standing. He handed Micah to me which was only awkward for a second before I figured out how to hold them both at the same time and then Paul scooped me into his arms.
"I forgot about dad!" I said feeling guilty.
"Bella it's ok, Emily is doing it as we speak. Let's just go relax until he gets here." Paul said. He hadn't even finished his sentence before he was putting the three of us gingerly onto the large bed and crawling in next to us.
"Thank you Paul" I whispered tiredly snuggling against him.
"No Bella, thank you. You have made me the happiest man alive today. I love you so much" He said and caught my lips in a passionate, yet soft, kiss. His hot arms folded around me and I felt so safe and so happy.
