Thank you everyone for your reviews and your best wishes for my brother-in-law. It's very much appreciated. But if you could all send a
prayer for my sister, Vicki... for strength over these next couple of weeks or months, she's going to need it.
Anyway, here's the the 2nd part of the epilogue... I hope you enjoy it!


Epilogue Part 2

Three years later.

"Oh fuck…"

"Really?"

"Yeah, really…" Bella said as she looked over to Alice. She bit her lip anxiously as she looked down at her hands.

"Well… Look at it this way, you're getting it all over and done with quickly."

"That's not helping, Alice." Bella said frowning. She wasn't sure how she felt really, other than sick... she didn't know if she'd be able to cope. "What am I going to do, Alice? It would be just my fucking luck that there's two in there again."

When Bella heard a soft laugh, she looked up and stuck her tongue out.

"Even you couldn't have that much bad luck… I hope. When are you going to tell my brother?"

"Tell me what?"

At the sound of Edward's voice behind her, Bella spun around and hid her hands behind her back. The action was instant and as usual, it didn't escape her husband's notice. His eyes flicked downwards as one brow flicked upwards in question. Bella swallowed as she tried to think of a way of delaying this but as Edward walked towards her, she knew she couldn't.

"What's going on?" Edward asked. Without another word, Bella brought her hand around and held the little blue and white stick in the palm of her hand… Edwards eyes zeroed in and widened almost comically and if it weren't for the fact that Edward and Bella had three month old twins sleeping down the hall, she would have burst out laughing. "You're fucking with me, right?"

"Nope, she's not… daddy dearest!" Alice said with a smile. She rather enjoyed seeing her older brother lost for words, it didn't happen very often. In fact, the only time she could recall it ever happening was since Bella had come into his life; she often threw him for a loop. "I always thought you were supposed to get less fertile as you got older, not the other way around!"

Edward couldn't stop the smirk that formed on his face; he couldn't help but feel just a tad manlier, knowing how easily he was able to get his wife pregnant. He tore his eyes away from the pregnancy test and looked at his wife's worried face. "We'll make this work, Princess." He reached out and pulled her into his embrace then looked over to watch his sister walk out of their bedroom.

"What if I'm having twins again, Edward, I can't do four kids under a year old… I'll go crazy!" Bella mumbled against his chest. Edward snorted a laugh and kissed her head, he was about to say that she already was but didn't think it was the time for jokes.

"We'll hire a nanny."

Bella practically jumped out of Edwards arms and then shoved her hands on her hips. The look on her face almost had Edward cover his balls. "I'm not having some blonde, big-jugged floozy living in my house where she can shove her perky, childless tits in your face all the time! If that's what you think mister, you've got another thing comin'!" Bella yelled.

Edward couldn't help it, he burst out laughing. He loved her rants and if the little plastic stick in his hands didn't prove she was pregnant, this unexpected blow up certainly did. "Bella, calm down woman…for fuck's sake; we'll get one that's old enough to be my mother okay." He said still laughing. When he noticed Bella wasn't laughing with him, he reached out and pulled her back into his arms. "Babe, we've got… seven or eight months to work this all out, okay. Don't stress about it now."

"You and your fucking sperm…" Bella grumbled. "I can't believe you got me knocked up again."

"Well, I've been telling you along, Princess… I'm just that good!" When Bella gasped and started playfully punching him, Edward laughed and picked her up into his arms so that he could look into her eyes. "Make an appointment with the doc and we'll go get you checked out, see what's goin' on exactly. Sound good?"

"Yeah, I suppose." Edward smiled at the pout his wife was giving him before leaning forward to suck that bottom lip into his mouth. Before they could get too carried away, soft cries were heard through the small monitor sitting on the bedside table.

"Speaking of babies, sounds like Adam and Dominic want their mummy." Adam Edward and Dominic Carlisle Cullioni were identical and splitting images of their father and Bella couldn't be more pleased about that fact, she couldn't wait to watch them grow in the handsome men she knew they'd be.

"I don't know; they may want their daddy…" Bella said with a smile. She loved seeing the look of utter happiness and love that would flicker in Edward's eyes when she called him 'Daddy'.

=x=

The next afternoon, Bella and Edward walked out of the doctor's office with a conformation of pregnancy and an appointment for a scan in a week's time. As much as Edward knew that having another baby so close to the twin's birth was not going to be easy for Bella, he couldn't help but feel happy. Three and a half years ago, he had nothing… now, he had a wife who kept him on his toes yet he adored her wholeheartedly, two babies and another on the way, (he wasn't even thinking it could be more than one) and a life he truly loved waking up to each morning. But if anyone had told him back then that he'd be happy to be where he was now, he would have shot them for talking such shit.

The following week Bella walked into the doctor's office with a fussy Dominic in her arms and Edward following close behind smiling down at Adam who grinned back at him from the pram. Both parents were nervous of the possibility of another multiple pregnancy, yet only one would freely admit to it. The doctor who delivered the twins welcomed them and had Bella lay down on the bed near the ultrasound machine.

After Edward took his now calm son into his arms, Bella got situated and the doctor smiled down at her. "Okay… let's see what you've got cooking this time, shall we?"

"Not funny, Makenna." Bella said dryly. The two women had formed a friendly relationship throughout Bella's first pregnancy and as such, Bella could see the doctor was only just keeping her mirth about this new pregnancy under wraps. "Go on… get it all out."

"What?" Makenna replied innocently. When Bella just raised a brow, the other woman started to giggle before looking over to Edward. "I'm wasn't going to say a thing."

Edward snorted in amusement and was about to say something when Bella gave him a look that dared him to speak, he shut his mouth before pretending to play with his sons. There was not a hope in hell he was going to bring up the conversation he'd had with Makenna at Bella's 6 week follow up appointment about his 'super sperm' getting her pregnant again within the next six months. When he looked back at his wife, he was pleased to see the small smile on her lips. He gave her a quick wink and mouthed 'I love you' before Makenna squirted gel onto Bella's stomach.

=x=

One month after Edward and Bella's scan, they were finally ready to tell the rest of the family their news; they were actually quite surprised that Alice hadn't already spilled the beans. The sound of everyone talking around the table was something that Bella loved, after growing up in the house she did where she either ate alone in her room or at the kitchen counter with the cook, she relished in the feeling of family she'd got when she married Edward.

Bella looked up to see Edward looking back at her with a raised brow and when she smiled at him, Edward cleared his throat gaining everyone's attention.

"Bella and I have some news that we'd like to share with everyone." Edward said with a smile. "In another six months, our family will be getting a little bit bigger."

Esme gasped as her eyes bounced from her son's radiant face to her daughter-in-law's and back again; their smiles mirrored each others. "You're pregnant again… so soon?"

"Well, what can I say…" Edward said with a smug look. Bella groan and rolled her eyes, like she'd done a million times over the last month when she found her husband looking at her like the most self-satisfied man in the world. "…I'm just…"

"Don't you say it…" Bella said with a gentle kick under the table. She turned to the woman who had quickly become her mother and answered her question. "Yes, we're expecting again… with twins… again."

There was a beat of shocked silence before everyone exploded in laughter and congratulations.

"We're gonna have to get busy Rose, to catch up to these two." Emmett smiled to his wife. Rose was now two weeks away from her due date of delivering their first child and was in that stage where she was fed up and just wanted the pregnancy over with already, so the glare Emmett received was a little frosty… not even 'the grin' and wagging eyebrows softened the look she gave him.

"You come anywhere near me with that thing in the next six months without a rip-proof raincoat on and I'll string you up by your balls, Emmett Cullioni."

Everyone burst out laughing at the horrified look on Emmett's face.

Jasper came up to his sister and wrapped his arms around her. "I can see I don't have to ask if you're happy about this little sis."

"No, you don't. It's all happening a little earlier than we'd planned but they're obviously meant to be a part of this family. I may call upon you and Alice to babysit every now and then though."

"I'm sure my wife would love to look after her little nephews." He said before kissing his sister's cheek. Jasper and Alice married a little over six months after Edward and Bella and came back from their honeymoon already pregnant. Little Lillian Maria Swan made a dramatic entry into the world two weeks early after Alice learnt Jasper had been shot in an arms deal that didn't go to plan. It wasn't a life threatening wound but she didn't know that at the time. Lilly was a beautiful, bubbly little girl with hair as dark as her mother's and eyes as bright blue as her father's; she was their pride and joy.

"All right people, I'm still hungry." Edward said reminding people of what they were doing before their announcement. Once everyone was sitting back down at the table, Edward reached over and took Bella's hand in his own. "I love you, Mrs Cullioni."

"I love you too, Mr Cullioni, even with your super sperm."

Edward laughed out before reaching over to pull her smiling face to his own. "Thank you." He whispered against her lips. Those two words didn't quite feel like enough in Edward's mind for what he was thanking Bella for. In so many ways, his life hadn't changed but that was his life outside the four walls of his home… inside was another thing altogether; the difference in him was enormous to those who knew him well. He was but one man before, now he was one half of a whole with two infant sons that made him feel more love than he ever thought possible and he had another two children on the way… He wasn't sure what he hoped Bella was carrying; another two sons that would one day have the house brimming in more testosterone than he thought he'd live through or two daughters who were mini versions of their… mother… He glanced at his wife and shuddered at the thought of having another two Bella's in the house. He loved his wife dearly but he had enough problems having to deal with her fiery temperament, he knew he couldn't handle three. So, as all expectant fathers do, he quickly sent up a prayer for another two sons.

=x=

"Welcome to the club, Brother." Emmett said with a barely contained smirk.

Edward glared at his brother before looking down to the two bundles in his wife's arms. "Fuck off, Emmett."

"Edward!" Bella hissed out.

"What?"

"Watch your language."

Esme and Carlisle couldn't contain the snicker of amusement at their tougher than nails son, being chastised by his 5 foot 7 wife who currently had her arms full of babies.

"Seriously?" Edward looked at his wife with a raised brow. "They have no idea what I just said, plus, he's pissing me off." Bella just shook her head before looking back at her babies with a tender smile. She loved her foul mouthed husband and secretly, she didn't want him any other way.

"At least you got half your wish, son." Carlisle commented. "Be thankful you didn't get two daughters." Everyone was well aware of Edwards thoughts on having daughters and the reasons for it, but now looking down to his new born daughter, he thought that maybe having another girl in the family wouldn't be all that bad.

"She's going to be the new princess, in the Cullioni household." Emmett said. "I pity the boy that comes knocking for a date in fifteen or so years."

"Fifteen…" Edward snorted derisively, "More like twenty years. And if some shifty assed, punk nosed, pussy plunging, brown nosed fuckwit thinks…"

"EDWARD!" Bella yelled out, startling the babies. Edward's voice was rising with each word that came out of his mouth, his face more murderous… All around everyone in the room, other than Bella and Edward were now laughing and the babies were fussing.

With a deep, almost calming breath, Edward bent forward to pick up his now fussing daughter. "I'll protect you from all the nasty boys, Emily, don't you worry." He whispered as he kissed the so soft skin of her forehead; he relished in the amazing scent that only came with a new baby. As he settled Emily into the crook of his arm, he smiled down at her little pouty, cupid bow lips and felt a wave of protectiveness wash over him, much like the one he experienced with her mother and brothers before her. It still amazed him that he could feel this much love and not have his body explode from the enormity of his feelings.

He looked up when he heard a sniffle, into the smiling yet thoroughly wet eyes of his wife. "I love you so much, Edward."

"I love you too, Bella. More than I can put into words. Thank you, for everything you've brought into my life." He bent down and kissed his wife gently yet with so much emotion it sent shivers throughout Bella's body.

As Edward looked into Bella's eyes once more, he could see everything that wasn't being said. He never questioned her love for him, even after everything that had brought them together. Everything about her radiated love and trust and he silently thanked God every day for sending her to him.

The door to their private room opened and Edward's eyes were drawn immediately to his two oldest sons. Jasper and Alice had looked after them overnight after Bella had gone into labour and brought them to the hospital to introduce them to their baby brother and sister.

As Edward sat beside his wife on her bed and watched Adam and Dominic with Emily and Joshua, his parents, his siblings and their families... he thought about how much his whole family had changed since one tiny yet fierce woman came into his life… everything he had now was because of her… his Isabella. If he'd known back then what he was gaining when he snuck up behind her, pulled her fighting body into his arms and stole her from her family, he was certain that he would have taken her much sooner than he did.

Edward Cullioni once thought he had everything he wanted... until he realised he'd had nothing, nothing that really mattered.

He knew differently now... now he knew he had everything, all because of a series of choices.

He'd made a choice to kidnap his enemy's daughter and do the deed himself.

He'd made a choice to talk to her, know her, let her in... to love her and keep her.

So many choices... and he'd make them all again in a heartbeat.

=x= The End =x=


Well, that's it... I hope you enjoyed it. I know of a woman who was a twin and she and her sister both fell pregnant at the same time... with twins and then one went on to have a second set of twins 2 years after the first set... I think I'd go crazy if that were me! lol... I love my boys but I stopped at 2 for a reason! hehehehe

I'm currently working on another story but I won't post that until I have it all written. Not sure what my next few months is going to be like and what my sister is going to be like after it's all over, so I'm hoping that I can get it up soon.

Thanks again for everyone's reviews since starting this story, they've meant so much.
For those that celebrate it, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and I hope everyone has a great New Year... Roll on 2016! :-)
