Bella's POV:

I glared at my husband as I struggled to stand. "I look like a whale" I whined as Paul laughed and grabbed my hand helping me into a standing position.

"Well you've never been this pregnant before" Paul cajoled rubbing my lower back gently.

"MAMA!" Our son Noah shrieked as he ran into the family room and grabbed my legs almost knocking me off balance.

"Noah careful with mommy" Paul chastised lifting Noah into his arms. Our 20 month old growled playfully at him.

"Noah where's Micah?" I questioned not hearing anything from my second son.

"Upstairs mommy" Noah said as Paul began tickling his sides.

I 'waddled' up to the boy's room to find Micah playing with some wooden blocks. He paused momentarily and smiled up at me "Momma!"

He stood on wobbly feet and toddled over to me. Paul and I joked that he looked like a drunken sailor when he walked.

Our boys had grown so much it amazed me and everyone was looking forward to having another new baby around. Emily had given birth to a beautiful little girl she and Sam named Sara and much to our amusement Micah had imprinted on her.

When the pair of them were together, Micah wouldn't leave her side even though she was only 7 months old and boy did they 'talk' to each other. It was almost like Micah could read her mind because two minutes before Sara would cry Micah would toddle to me or Emily and say in his soft little voice "Sara milk" or "Sara diappy".

Noah was quite the instigator still- for example he knew it would get his brother upset so he 'kissed' Sara on the head. The screaming match between my boys that ensued was hilarious. It was all Emily and I could do to stop laughing long enough to separate them. There were lots of screams of "my Sara" and "No!"

When we told Sam and Paul what had happened the looks on their faces were priceless.

I carried him carefully down the stairs where Paul was finishing putting a light jacket onto Noah.

"Rose called and said they'd be here momentarily to pick up these two" He smiled broadly at me. Both of us as much as we loved our boys also enjoyed when the Cullen's took them for the evening like they did once every couple of weeks.

Tonight Angela, Embry, Leah and Jacob were coming over for a barbeque- one of the first of the season. Sam and Emily had been planning on coming but Emily's cousin had gotten ill and the couple had gone with Sara and Quil to help care for Claire during her recuperation.

I was just finishing putting Noah's shoes on when the door opened revealing Alice and Rose.

"Where are our favorite boys?" Alice said dancing over to Noah and scooping him happily into her arms. She nuzzled against him and he laughed gleefully like always.

"Hey Bella, you look phenomenal" Rose said moving to wrap me in a cool hug.

"Thanks again for taking them you guys" I said as Rose pulled back and took Micah from Paul.

"We really appreciate it" Paul agreed moving to give each boy a peck on the head.

"You guys know we love to have them" Rosalie cooed hardly taking her eyes off of Micah who was gently playing with the bracelet on her wrist.

"The guys just finished setting up a play set in the backyard." Alice said happily bouncing towards the door "And Esme invited Charlie and you two over for dinner tomorrow!"

"Sounds good. Tell everyone we love them." I said smiling broadly. I still couldn't get over how well everyone was getting along. Mostly because of my sons.

"Umm one more thing" Rose said turning serious suddenly. "Alice, tell them what you saw."

"Edward is coming back" Alice said in one breath "I don't know when all I know is that he has made the decision to come back here at some point in the future. I don't think it will be soon based on a couple of things I noted in my vision but we agreed that we should tell you."

"Paul we thought you could talk to Sam about upping patrols?" Rosalie suggested "We don't mean to worry you so have an amazing night you two and we will see you tomorrow."

"I will. Keep them safe" Paul said in a suddenly business like tone.

"Always" Alice and Rose said in unison before waving goodbye. "Say bye to mom and dad guys!" Rose added laughing as they both waved enthusiastically.

As Paul shut and locked the door behind them he asked me cautiously "Are you ok?"

I shrugged slightly trying not to hyperventilate "I don't know what we're going to do. I can't panic though. It wouldn't be healthy for the baby." Paul moved to wrap me in his arms and I instantly felt safer.

He pressed his lips into my hair and then said quietly "We are going to have a fun relaxing evening with our friends tonight, I am going to call Sam in the morning and we will discuss the situation and then we are going to go on living our lives as normally as possible until something happens. We have a heads up so we are going to keep everyone safe. I promise."

I sighed turning to inhale his comforting scent deeply "I know. I just feel like it wasn't that long ago that it was Victoria trying to ruin our lives and now Edward is going to come back and destroy everything. "Paul it isn't just us adults anymore. There are children involved now and not just our own. If anything were to happen to Sara because of Edward I would never forgive myself."

"Princess you can't let him control your emotions like this." Paul soothingly rubbed my back and placed a hand on my stomach "I know he was horrible but this time when he comes around you have more than enough power to protect yourself and our children with."

I grinned slightly "It would be rather pleasant to see the look on his face when he realizes I am not powerless anymore!"

Paul laughed boisterously before pulling away from me "Come on I am going to start the barbeque up everyone will be here shortly."
