Bella's POV:

I had been feeding Noah contently talking with all the women I considered close enough to be my sisters when I heard a crash, Micah's screams and Paul's booming voice shouting loudly. I hadn't even stood up when Rosalie and Alice both disappeared.

"Bella what's going on out there!" Charlie asked popping his head round the corner.

"Not sure dad" I said trying to rearrange Noah so he was easier to carry and so he could keep feeding at the same time. "I'll go check could you just keep mom and Phil entertained for a few minutes- I am sure everything is fine.

I stormed onto the porch and down the winding steps, carefully of course, until I was on the back yard's lawn.

"Someone wanna explain why my son is screaming bloody blue murder?" I questioned gazing between Paul, Emmett and Jasper- all of whom wore slightly guilty looks on their faces even more so on the latter two.

Paul rocked him carefully and I noticed Alice and Rosalie glaring daggers at their significant others.

"Someone had the bright idea to throw a boulder at the other idiot holding Micah" Paul fumed angrily. I knew the only reason he wasn't in wolf form was because he was holding the baby. I had a feeling that having two infants around was going to be extremely good for his temper.

"Ok you two why on earth did you think that was going to be ok?" I questioned maneuvering Noah to burp him without flashing our family.

"I kinda forgot he was holding the baby" Jasper said extremely apologetically. "I am so sorry Paul and Bella."

"I'm sorry Bells" Emmett said ashamedly.

Alice and Rosalie gave curt nods of approval at the apologies and I could just imagine the shit they would be in later.

"You know what Paul we forgive this once. Micah is ok, is he not?" I waited for a nod of affirmation "We don't need to start World War 3. However the two of you shall not watch either infant together unsupervised until Paul and I agree otherwise. On your own it's ok but apparently you can't act like the mature adults you two can be together."

Paul looked at me and burst out laughing as did the other members of the pack. Emmett and Jasper both looked completely chastised and Rosalie and Alice still wore unhappy, mildly ticked off looks.

Paul came over and nuzzled his face into my frizzy hair and spoke softly "Bella you are an amazing mother." He said and I smiled.

"I think it's nap time for these two" I said quietly as the twins yawned in unison.

"I think that might be a good idea" He chuckled and we headed arm in arm back up to the spare bedroom where we'd spent the night after stopping briefly to allow my parents and Phil to kiss them and say brief goodbyes- Phil and Renee were going to stay in a hotel in Forks until Paul and I headed home and then were going to stay with us for a couple more days. Dad was of course just going to go home. He said to call when we were ready for visitors again and he would come up and see us.

"I can't believe they are already a day old" I said cuddling into Paul's arms in the cool room after laying the twins in their basinets. "I can't believe we're married and I can't believe that we are safe."

"I can believe we're married. I can believe that we defeated Victoria and her blasted newborn army but the twins being here is astounding to me." Paul murmured his voice low and soothing. "I knew they were coming but it's so surreal to be able to see them and hold them and touch them."

I nodded my agreement and tried in vain to swallow a yawn.

"Bella you're tired, please get some rest while they sleep- I can live on two hours of sleep you can't" he said calmly stroking my hair.

"But I don't know when you and I will get another quiet moment" I said pouting.

"Bella we will have many quiet moments and our crazy friends will make sure of that" He chuckled quietly "You need your rest. When you wake up I will be here, the boys will be here, and I have a feeling from what I heard Esme discussing earlier with Carlisle you shall have something fantastic to eat."

"Paul you have no idea how much I love you for giving me the boys" I said turning to face him. I loved his stormy grey eyes. They always betrayed his emotions- crystal looking when he was happy, clouded when he was angry, darker when something was on his mind.

"Bella you gave them to me, you gave me a reason to accept this life and I am so happy that you love me enough to join me even though this crazy supernatural world broke your heart before." He brushed his nose playfully against mine and kissed me tenderly "I love you more than I could ever have imagined loving someone before."

I grinned and wrapped my arms around his broad chest. I leaned up and kissed him a little and yawned again.

I felt myself drifting away from consciousness against my will but I knew I needed to be rested to take care of the boys so I let the darkness overtake me.

I was reluctant to wake but I heard one of the boys crying loudly and the sudden absence of Paul's hot arms made me wide awake.

"Someone wants mommy!" Paul grinned handing me Noah.

We sat for a little while and Paul watched as I fed both of them and I watched as he expertly burped and changed them.

"Bella, Paul bring the boys down quickly." Alice called, always so impatient, "The Denali's are going to be here imminently."

Great more vampires. Three accepting, two with other agendas that Alice couldn't see. That made me nervous especially after all our trouble with Victoria.

They arrived just as Rosalie and Esme each plucked a baby from us.

"Well," Eleazar commented jovially "It appears as though you've had some rather interesting additions Carlisle."
