A/N Hey everyone! Well, this story I had written, but left unfinished, about a year ago… but it's been in my head forever, so I decided to start working on it again. . . teehee. Stephenie Meyer's owns these characters, except the obvious ones. :D
Chapter One (Bella's POV)
I stared at Edward, watching as he caressed my stomach. I felt so much love for him at this moment, not that I didn't before.
"They're happy." He said in almost a coo. I froze at his words, sure I heard wrong. Everyone else around froze too.
"They?" I choked out and Edward nodded. Very gently he put his head on my stomach.
"They both love you." He whispered lovingly. "They absolutely adore you." I felt frozen still. Twins. There are twins in my belly right now. So that's why I'm so huge. Jacob made a strange choking noise and Edward looked up, his eyes understanding. He reached into the drawer and tossed something to Jacob.
"Go Jacob. Get out of here." Edward ordered and I could feel the wind the door created when Jacob slammed it.
"What's wrong with him?" I asked quietly, feeling guilty that I caused him to be so upset.
"He's just upset that I changed sides." Edward replied with the crooked smile I loved so much. It's the first time I've seen it since that night at the honeymoon… I smiled and Edward laughed at me. "Still thinking about feathers?" He teased and I blushed.
"Maybe." I said, blushing even more. He gave me a kiss, which was the first in awhile too. I kissed him passionately in return. He pulled away after awhile and grinned. I frowned back jokingly. "Took you long enough." I muttered. "I thought you were repulsed by the fat pregnant woman."
"Not repulsed love. You looked beautiful even though you were on your death bed." Edward joked and I smiled…until Leah came rampaging in. I looked at her in surprise, considering this is the first time I've seen her in the house. She had a very guarded look on her face.
"Why did Jacob leave so quickly in your Aston Martin Vanquish?" Leah asked, her eyes shifting around the room, I guess looking for danger.
"Well…I could hear the baby's thoughts and I guess Jacob thought I was betraying him. Making him the only one against this whole ordeal." Edward tried to explain, but I don't think Leah took it the right way, because her dark skin almost turned purple.
"OF COURSE HE'S AGAINST IT!" She shouted and I shrank into the couch. Edward and Rosalie jumped in front of me with protective stances, hissing at her. She was too upset to notice. "Bella you just don't get it! Jacob LOVES you! And you're just taking that love for granted! It HURTS him to be here, yet you ask him to stay anyway."
Tears filled my eyes but Leah continued, "You are just selfish Bella! These bloodsuckers can buy you anything, yet you still feel like you should play games with Jacob's heart! You want him, then don't, then want him again. You have ties to his heart and keep tugging on them. All Jacob wants to do is murder Edward then go away, yet you won't let him will you? You can't have both Bella! Ice and Fire do not mix together. Yet you'll still go to Edward won't you? Even though he left you, and have caused you to almost die multiple times, you'll still go to him. He impregnates you with a dangerous baby, yet you'll still stay with him." Leah finished and shook her head at me. "Bella, you may be the stupidest human ever if you're with a vampire."
At the point at which she called me stupid Edward lost it. He didn't go after her, knowing that would upset me, but he had his hands shaking violently. "Leave now." He growled and Leah gave me a final glare before leaving.
When she left I burst into tears. Edward wasted no time hurrying to my side. "Bella, don't listen to her." He soothed.
Rosalie snorted. "Yeah, that girl just is jealous you're pregnant." She said and both Edward and I looked at her in surprise.
"How would you know Rosalie?" Edward asked. "I thought she was seriously trying to defend Jacob's feelings."
At that I started sobbing, but could still hear Rosalie. "That may be part of it, but I saw the look in her eyes. Every time she looked at Bella's stomach her eyes got almost misty. She probably was hiding it with her anger though, that's why it was so severe. I would know I've suffered it a few times myself" She said with a grin at Edward. "Remember me in the maternity ward a few decades ago?"
Edward gave out a short laugh. "I remember how we couldn't get you to leave. You frightened the nurses so bad that they took the babies to a different room, afraid that you'll kidnap one of them."
"I still say that one of them was a mind reader." Rosalie said with a grin. I had to laugh; I can see Rosalie stealing a baby just by being sweet to a male nurse, who willingly gives her it. I yawned and rotated so I could lie down. My body being broadsided by different emotions makes it tired. I felt my eyes close and Edward kissed my forehead.
"Bella, I'll be right back. Have to go do something." Edward said quietly, and then slipped out. Alice skipped down and sat on my foot, then started tickling it.
"Alice, stop it." I mumbled, but I was awake now and thirsty. "Rosalie can you get me some more…uh…tomato juice for vampires?"
Rosalie laughed as she headed to the kitchen. When she came back she handed me a clear cup. I looked at her funny. "What? You know what's in it… and right now I don't feel like cleaning up the other cups." Rosalie said and I shrugged. I averted my eyes from the cup as I drank it. Unfortunately my eyes grazed over to Alice, who was even more giddy than usual because of her headaches.
"Twins! I can't believe I wasn't first to know." Alice grumbled, and then brightened up quickly. "Just think about it! We can dress them exactly the same! You'll have to think of names all over again. Just in case you have girl and girl… or boy and boy…or girl and boy…"
I took my lips off the straw so I could think about it and went through names in my head. "I guess I'll go with Renessemee and Edward still… but if I have another girl I'll name her Edelle."
"Edelle?" Alice asked with a tilt of her head. I blushed.
"You know, like Edward and Bella together. I'd go with Edwina…but it doesn't sound right with Cullen."
"That's so cute!" Rosalie cooed. "What if it's another boy?"
I searched my head for a name. "I don't know…how about… Jem?"
"Jem? Why Jem?" Alice asked and I smirked.
"Wouldn't Jasper and Emmett love haven't a nephew named after them?" I asked innocently, causing Rosalie and Alice to laugh out loud.
"If anything, Jasper would whine that he only gets one letter and Emmett gets two." Rosalie said so I thought seriously for a few moments. I shrugged.
"I'd probably just name him Jeremy." I said with a shrug. "Or I could let Edward pick the name."
"No!" Alice said and I raised my eyebrows at her. "He doesn't know good names." She said defensively. "He won't let us call him anything but Edward…so annoying."
I laughed. "How about you pick the name if it's a boy you two. I just want one to be named Edward."
Alice and Rosalie nodded their heads in agreement so I started sipping my…drink again. I couldn't believe I wasn't going nauseous from the smell. It's good practice though for later… I was contemplating this when Edward came hurrying in.
"Bella, love, I thought you were sleeping. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left." Edward said and I smiled at him. He was so caring, even though just a few moments ago he wanted to kill the baby inside me.
"Don't worry. I just got so thirsty-it woke me up." Also Alice tickled my foot, I added in my head. "It's a good thing Carlisle is bringing more. These kids are going to need it when they get out of me."
"True. That's a good point." Edward agreed.
"I wonder if they'll want anything else." I wondered. If they were just going to be vampires, or they can eat human food too…
"I suppose we'll find out." Edward said with a shrug. Jacob came through the door.
"Finally." Alice grumbled, rubbing her head. I gave Jacob a huge smile. This was my best friend Jacob, going to his enemy's house for me. Then I remembered what Leah said and I tried very hard not to cry.
"Hey Bells," Jacob said quickly. "How ya doing?"
"I'm fine." I muttered quietly.
"Big day today, huh? Lots of new stuff."
"You don't have to do that Jacob." I replied, not wanting to be the one to keep him here.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Jacob told me as he sat near my head.
I gave him a look. "I'm so s—" I started to say, but then he pinched my lips together to keep me from talking. "Jake," I mumbled around his hand then tried to push it away weakly.
Jacob shook his head. "You can talk when you're not being stupid."
I had an idea. "Fine, I won't say it." I mumbled and he took his hand away. "Sorry!" I finished then gave him a cheeky grin, which he returned after rolling his eyes at me.
There was this little awkward silence that I swear Jacob's eyes looked pained during. "So," I said, trying to fill the silence, "How was your day?"
"Great. Went for a drive. Hung out in the park."
"Sounds nice." Wish I could leave this house… but not until the babies are out of my belly.
"Sure, sure."
I made a face. This is the worst part of being pregnant. "Rose?"
Rosalie chuckled at me. "Again?"
"I think I've drunk two gallons in the last hour." I explained. Rose came to lift me off the couch. "Can I walk?" I asked, thinking that if Jacob gets some exercise today… "My legs are so stiff."
"Are you sure?" Edward asked skeptically.
"Rose'll catch me if I trip over my feet." I said with a grin. "Which could happen pretty easily, since I can't see them."
Rosalie set me down carefully and kept her hands on my shoulders so I stretched my arms in front of me. It was kind of painful, but a good pain. "That feels good." I said then frowned playfully at my stomach. "Ugh, I'm so huge. One more day." I said, patting my stomach.
I noticed Jacob's face go all contorted, but decided to leave it alone. "All righty, then. Whoops—Oh no!" I exclaimed, spilling my blood. I bent over to reach it, just seeing the hands before it was too late. This strange ripping nose came from my stomach. "Oh!" I gasped. Then went limp, falling into Rosalie's arms.
"Bella?" Edward asked a little unfocused. A shot of pain came from my stomach. It was excruciating. I gave a hair-raising shriek. My body twitched and I then vomited a fountain of blood.
A/N OH MY GOODNESS! What's going to happen next? :P Sorry, I did use her scenario quite a bit, but that's just to set MY plot. Teehee.
