DISCLAIMER: I own as much as I owned when this started – nothing but the plotline and a couple made-up characters. Read the original Twilight books, by Stephenie Meyer, and you'll know what I don't own.

"Hot damn, Bella, how much do we need?" I laughed as I sat down, placing Alice comfortably in my lap as I looked over everything we'd gotten at the baby-shower.

"I still don't think, with this and the nursery, that we have enough for twins." Bella muttered, adding another set of diapers to her growing collection.

"No kidding. I still remember all of the diapers that this little monster went through," I bounced Alice, and she laughed, while chewing on her fingers. "And she's still going through them."

"It's gonna' be a long year," Ellie, Bella's other sister who had flown in with Renee, smiled as she sat on the floor and played with Alice. She adored the little kids, just like Bella did. I was happy that we could count on her as a baby-sitter. Especially since her mom, Phil, Alec, and herself are all going to be moving into town this week. I smiled at her, and nodded, knowing that she was right about that.

"But a long one is a good one," I told her softly. "It already feels like Emmett and Alice are all grown up. I want these babies to take their time."

"I don't know that ours is willing to take the time," Eleazar sighed, coming in from where he was loading up his car with the things that Carmen had received. He'd just made the last trip, and then he made his way over to Carmen, who had been having a constant case of Braxton Hicks today.

"You got to thirty-nine weeks, Carmen. I consider that taking plenty of time." Bella rolled her eyes and I nodded with her.

"We're lucky that we've gotten this far, as well." I smiled, reaching over to rub Bella's belly. I knew that she was tired, and wanted to sleep, but that the kiddos were keeping her up with their little feet. I rubbed it softly, because lately that's been the only thing that gets them to calm down enough to get her asleep. She smiled at me, and leaned into my side.

"Carmen, are you sure that you don't want to run up to the hospital? We're better safe than sorry, remember?" Eleazar offered and she merely shook her head.

"I don't want to go all that way..." She muttered, her face looking seriously frustrated. I chuckled and rolled my eyes.

"You're not looking so well..." Eleazar frowned, looking her over.

"Is that a fat comment?" She asked him, her voice sharp. I laughed, knowing that Eleazar walked right into that one.

Fat jokes. We've been walking on eggshells in order to avoid anything that could possible even, maybe lead to the thought of weight. Bella especially, has been completely consumed with her sized, and had been growing immensely during the last few weeks. I knew that she was completely self-conscious about it, but I still tried to remind her that she was carrying two children. It was a good thing to be big – it was beautiful.

But both she and Carmen found nothing merely cute about it. Neither of them wanted their belly's, having been used to their smaller sizes. I rolled my eyes, knowing that there was nothing wrong with them. Eleazar knew this all too well too.

"I think you should go, Carmen. You've never had them for this long, consecutively. I'll even go get your things." Esme offered, just walking in with Emmett, Ella, and Carlisle. They were walking Rosalie, Jasper, Irina, and her husband out to his car. I smiled at her, nodding, because I agreed.

"Fine..." Carmen cringed again and Esme took Ella and the others upstairs, to collect Carmen's things.

"It's not that bad Carmen. If things are really happening, then you could have a baby girl in your arms by tomorrow." Bella smiled at her. "I would give anything to just go into labor right now."

"You haven't felt a contraction yet, honey. You say that now...just wait."

"Bella gets to have a c-section," Ellie shrugged, pointing out that a natural birth just seemed like too much work for Bella. We all agreed that our safest option would be to get a cesarean done. I didn't care what we did, as long as Belle and the kids were safe and happy.

"Oh, that's right." Carmen huffed, and I could tell that she was really beginning to feel the contractions. She looked a lot worse than she did when she first started having these Braxton Hicks. She was definitely going into labor now. There was no way that she could go back from the look on her face. She cringed, leaning in a bit and scrunching up her face. I grimaced, and Eleazar stood. "Shit...Never-mind. I think we should go...now!"

"Mom!" I heard Ella from where she was standing in the doorway, staring at Carmen. "I think you're going to want to hurry!"

I smiled, and had Ella come sit with us for a while. I hadn't gotten to see her all day, as she'd spent most of it following her mom around. The day of the incident, Esme came to us with the idea of her adopting Ella. Apparently, Ella had brought it up a couple times that weekend, but Esme thought nothing of it. When Esme found out what was going on, she didn't waste a second to go and sign all rights over to herself and Carlisle, and to change Ella's name to Anabella Marie Cullen. She was officially my little sister now.

I think mom was more excited about the thought of being a mom again than she put on. Ella was ecstatic though, and comfortably moved into her own room at Esme's. We made sure to keep a room at my house too, just in case she started missing Bella too much and wanted to stay a weekend with us. I held my extra arm open as Ella climbed into it and began touching Bella's tummy.

"How come Carmen's having her baby, when mommy's baby is bigger?" Emmett asked, walking over and feeling around her tummy also. I chuckled, and shook my head. Emmett took a while to understand the concept that she was pregnant, let alone with two.

"Because, mommy has two inside of her. Remember?" I asked and he ahed, still not really getting it. I chuckled, and kissed Ella's head.

"It's only a matter of time, and then there'll be babies all over the place."

"Yeah..." Bella opened her eyes and smiled stiffly at them. I frowned, wondering if she was just tired, or actually in pain.

"You okay, beautiful?" I asked her, running my fingers through her long hair.

"I just...the babies...they're being kind of rough." She frowned and sat up a little straighter. I frowned, helping Ella up, and handing Alice to Ellie. I sat down in front of Bella, and began to rub her belly in soothing circles.

"Do you need anything? Tylenol?" I offered and she shook her head.

"I just...dammit..." she groaned, leaning forward. I moved my hands to rest them on her thighs. I ran them up and down her upper legs, asking her to breathe and to look at me.

Carmen and Eleazar had already left with Carlisle.

"Bella, just look at me. Just focus on me, and it'll pass." I whispered softly and she tried to nod. That's when Ella climbed up and began rubbing her belly softly.

"Is she okay?" Ella's eyes were wide with worry. I nodded at her, telling her that Bella may be ready to have the babies. Her jaw dropped, and she grabbed one of Bella's hands. "Bella! You could have the babies soon! This is good!"

"Yeah, yeah it is." She smiled sheepishly at Ella. I could tell that she didn't want Elle to know just how much pain she was in.

That's when Bella groaned, and leaned over her stomach. I watched as a wetpatch seeped through her pants and onto the white couch. I frowned, and called Esme again, telling Ella to run and tell Esme to get Bella's things. Bella was breathing a lot heavier now and I knew that these kids weren't willing to wait for Bella to get up.

"Edward..." She cried and kept on contracting.

Esme came running in, Bella's duffel in hand. She came over and helped me get Bella off of the couch. We collected the children, and decided that it would be best for them to ride to the hospital with Renee and Ellie. All of the kids obliged without a word – all of them other than Alice, who began to wail.

"Ma-ma..." She cried loudly as Renee tried to pry her from my arms.

"Daddy and momma will be back soon, baby," I sighed, and kissed her little head. I knew that I needed to let her go, because the woman in labor was a little bit more important right now. Alice would get over me once her mind was preoccupied. Bella needed to get to a hospital.

I helped her out to a car, sighing when she had to pause through another contraction. They were getting horrifically close together. It was scaring me a lot more than it should have. I ran around to the driver's side and waited for Esme to get in before speeding off and to the hospital. When we arrived, Carmen was just being taken off in a wheel-chair.

I had Esme go sign us in while I got Bella wheel-chair. I helped Bella into it and sighed with relief when her doctor arrived. He laughed, mentioning the irony of her and Carmen both coming in today before taking Bella with him. I followed suit, kissing my mom on the cheek first.

They got Bella into a birthing-suite and checked all of the important stuff. After deciding that she was far enough along, they found that the babies were okay, but far enough along for her to get the c-section done. Apparently, they didn't want to risk getting one stuck in the 'birthing-canal'. I held her hand until it was time to put her under. She didn't do well with blood, and had decided that it would be easier for everyone if she just went in passed out. Carlisle was going to follow with a camera, so, we weren't missing anything. They weren't going to let me in because of all of the difficulties that we've had so far.

"I love you, Bella," I sighed as they transferred her to the OR. "I love you so much. You're doing absolutely amazing, and when you wake up, you'll be a mommy."

"I love you Edward! Kiss the kids for me!" She cried and I leaned down to kiss her.

After she was gone, I felt my eyes begin to water. I walked slowly back to the waiting room, where the other's would be. I walked in to find Renee and Ellie alone with the kids. I asked her where my mom was, and she said that Carmen wanted her in there with her. I didn't blame her – I'd want my mom there if I were having a baby. I sat down and took Alice, who had began to cry at the sight of me again.

"It's crazy to think how big Alice already is," I kissed Alice's head and she grinned at me. "In a year she'll be two!"

"Yes, and in a year, you'll have two of these following her around." Renee pointed out and I nodded, hugging her.

"I'm so excited. You honestly have no idea how happy I am for Bella. I can't wait to meet the babies. They're gonna' be perfect."

"Like me, daddy?" Emmett asked, sticking his bottom lip out in a fake pout. I glowered at him and chuckled.

"Yes, just like you bud'."

"Mom says I'm perfect to." Ella grinned widely and I laughed.

"The truth is, nobody is perfect guys." I told them and they frowned. "But, if somebody is close to it, I'd say it's all of you kids."

"You're such a sweetie," Ella spoke in a cheesy voice.

I sat and talked to the group for about two hours. Somewhere during that time, Eleazar came out with his daughter, and we all fawned over it. I was so happy when I got to hold it. I was happy to be holding any baby at all by that point. I rocked the little thing back and forth, very slowly. She looked at me, her eyes blue, with a shade of green appearing behind them. I smiled down at her, cooing and laughing. She looked just like Carmen did.

"She's very beautiful, Eleazar." I breathed and Ella nodded.

"Isn't she a beauty?" Mom leaned over me, and took a picture of me with her. "You guys are perfect! I can't wait to get pictures of you with your girls, Edward!"

"When's Bella going to get out, you think?"

"Should be soon enough," Esme grinned at me and I sighed, nodding with her. I gave Eleazar his baby back, and he took her back to wherever he'd came from.

"Edward Cullen?" A voice called, and I looked up to see Bella's doctor, and my father. They both had that stony look on their face – the look that they get when they're about to give someone awful news. I stood, handed Alice to Renee, and all but ran over to them.

"Do you want the good news, or the bad news first?" He asked and I looked at my dad.

"Just tell me what I need to know."

"You guys never miscarried the third baby, Edward." Carlisle sighed, shrugging as if it were as simple as that. I felt my jaw drop as I looked between the two of them for proof that they were lying. "We delivered all three of them. The third, the one we thought was miscarried, is very premature. It took a while to get her stabilized...even now, it's very touch-and-go."

"And Bella?"

"She's doing just fine. She's still under, but I'm sure she's going to wake up soon enough." He nodded sternly, and I sighed.

"I want to meet them. All of them." I whispered and Carlisle nodded, leading me down the hallway. Bella's doctor, Doctor Gerandy, went on to check on Bella again.

"Edward, it's going to be a lot of work for you guys...premies can be...well, rough. You were very premature when you were born. Both you and Carmen." Carlisle sighed, as we got to the pediatrics wing.

"But...what do you think, dad? What do you honestly think?"

"We have doctor Cope working with her. I honestly think that she'll be okay...Who knows though? She could be special-needs. There's not telling if everything will develop right. We're hoping that we can get her back up and going in the next week. By that point, if you're lucky, you may even be able to take her home." Carlisle explained and I palmed my face, thinking about it.

Carlisle patted my back as we got up to the window where you can see into the main nursery. He pointed to the second to front row, and two to the right. There, were two little babies. They both looked just like Bella. Their eyes were a little darker than Carmen's baby's had been, and they had pale skin to contrast with their mops of dark hair, that peaked out just under their little caps. I smiled, feeling my eyes tear up some more as I looked at them. They were beautiful.

"They're just like her, dad," I sniffed and he chuckled.

"Aren't they pretty?"

"Can I go in? Can I hold them?" I asked and he nodded, showing me where the disinfectants were. I quickly washed my hands up and then walked in with my dad. He had me sit in the rocking chair in the corner.

I smiled as he put each in one of my arms. I looked down at them as they looked up at me. I couldn't help but cry as I sat and whispered to them. I couldn't believe that Bella and I were parents. I couldn't believe that she and I had three little girls more than we did yesterday to look after. One of them gurgled, and I laughed, talking back at her.

"See, you've already got parenting down." My dad winked. "Though, I'm sorry to say...your hair probably wont stay the same color as your mother's for as long as hers did. Not with all of these little ones to keep an eye on. Little girls."

"No kidding," I laughed and he joined in.

After I sat with them for a while, a nurse came in and said it was time to finish all of their testing. With a kiss on each of their tiny heads, I followed my dad back to the ICU, where they were keeping baby number three. I smiled when he walked me up to one of the little plastic things with a tiny baby in it.

I shook my head as I thought about how much smaller she was than her sisters. I knew that she was going to need the most protection for a while. She couldn't have been much bigger than my two hands. I was allowed to stick my hand in. I got to rub her little belly, and hold her tiny hand for a while, as I talked to her. Carlisle told me all about her condition, and what they were doing to help her. I barely listened as I prayed for her to get out of all these tubes and machines soon. She was gorgeous.

"Ready to go talk to Bella?" Carlisle asked, placing a hand on my shoulder, after snapping a couple pictures. "We can show her pictures of this one. She'll get to meet her sisters soon enough. Because of her incision, we can't wheel her down until late tomorrow."

"Can I visit her whenever I want?" I asked, pointing my head towards the baby.

"Absolutely. You'll probably have to sign in down here, at the desk, whenever I'm not here though. When you don't have a doctor." He explained and I nodded, agreeing with ease.

I nodded, and followed him to Bella's room in recovery. Bella's eyes were open, and she was looking around the room in a daze. I smiled at her as I sat down next to her. She smiled softly, her eyes a bit glassy due to the sedative. I brushed some of her hair out of her eyes and then took her hands into mine. She raised her eyebrows, and I knew that was her way of asking me everything. About her, me, the girls, the others...and, just thinking about it, I began to laugh.

"Bella, love, you're now the biological mother of three, beautiful little girls." I breathed and she nodded, letting a sigh go. That was when her hand tightened around mine, and her face snapped around to look at me.

"Three?"

"You heard me correctly. As it turns out, you never miscarried baby-C."

"Oh my God..." She began to cry, a smile on her face. I leaned in to kiss her, breathing out how great it was.

"Now, baby C is very premature. They have her in the Intensive Care Unit, right now." I sighed and she nodded, her eyes soft. "But, Carlisle thinks that she should be fine if we can get her through the week. He said that you may not be able to meet her until late tomorrow. I got to see her though, and she's amazing. They all are. You get to meet the first two soon though."

"I want to," She laughed, her face completely glowing.

"Hello, new mom and dad," Two nurses came in, pushing the babies in their little cradles. I smiled widely, going over to pick up one of them. The nurse carried the other one over to Bella. We helped Bella get comfortable with one, and then I passed the other to her, so that she was holding both.

"They're so perfect! They look just like Ella did!" She cried as she kissed on them and examined her babies. The only evidence that they weren't completely Bella, was the fact that they had their father's nose. It didn't make enough of a difference though. They were almost ninety-nine percent Bella. And they were perfect.

"Oh, yes they are!" I laughed, kissing their little cheeks. "What should we call them?"

"I've always liked the name Madison. Like, Maddy." She smiled and I nodded, agreeing. "So, I was thinking Madison Anne. Anne is for Esme and your middle names. Anthony and Anne. Without you guys, I wouldn't have gotten through this pregnancy. I just wouldn't." She sighed, shaking her head. "I want to name the premie one Maddy."

"Okay," I laughed, leaning in to kiss her temple. "How about the name one Rose?"

"Okay," She nodded. "Rose what?"

"I don't know. Rose...Rose...Rose Alice Cullen. That way Alice is named after one of them..."

"Okay, then I want this one to be Grace. Grace Belle Cullen. Not Bella, like me, but Belle. For Ella."

"Okay." I grinned and kissed her cheek. "So, we have Gracie, Rosie, and Maddy."

"Yep." Bella nodded, a smile still on her face.

"Can I hold miss Rosie?" I asked, holding my arms out for the bigger of the two babies. Bella nodded, grinning as she let me lift her into my arms.

"Hi baby, it's daddy. You're finally here! I bet you like mommy, huh?"

Our family showed up not too long later. We spent the rest of the night visiting with family and friends. Our family spent the night going back and forth between us and Carmen. By the time that visiting hours were up, we were pooped. I put the girls to bed and gave Bella a kiss before going down to visit Maddy. I'd already been down here twice with family too. When I got down there, I smiled at her as she looked at me. She was looking a bit more of a healthy color this time. That was proof that she was growing more by the second.

After spending a while with her, she fell asleep, and I went back to her mom's room. We spent our first night in there and I could hardly sleep, I was still excited. Bella, on the other hand, slept through most of it. I didn't blame her though – surgery tends to wear a person out. I just went on happily, enjoying my time with my daughters.

The next few weeks went a lot like that, only we got to go home about five days after the girls were born. We didn't get to take Madison home for about two weeks, but when we did, she was healthy – and that's all that mattered.

"Are you excited for our first bedtime with the girls, without any help, or the other kids in the house?" I asked Bella as I walked in the door, after dropping Alice and Emmett off at Esme's. They wanted to sleep over with Ella, so, I let them.

"I'm excited," She smiled tiredly. I could tell that she was more excited for the next three hours of sleep, not the waking up part.

Just as predicted, the girls all woke up crying about three hours and five minutes after our heads hit the pillows. I got out of the bed quickly, leaving Bella to take her time as I ran downstairs to get the formula. We knew, with three, that bottle-feeding would be our best way to go. I ran the bottles up the stairs, to find Bella rocking Maddy and Rose. I kissed their heads, grabbed Gracie, and then followed them over to the loveseat-recliners that we had put in.

"Alright, let's do this." I chuckled, setting two boppies at my feat. I sat Gracie and Rose in one, each, and handed Bella Maddy's bottle. Bella rocked maddy, while I cooed at the other two. They just gurgled and kept eating. Maddy was still upset, and I smiled sheepishly at Bella, who just kept on talking to her.

"We have a family..." Bella breathed after a while, when the girls were just getting to sleep and finished.

"A beautiful, perfect family." I chuckled.

"You know, all my life...all I ever wanted was to have a family that loved me. People who wouldn't care about a thing I did and still love me. And now, I'm that. I'm that to several, beautiful little ones. Ella, Emmett, Alice, and the girls..."

"And me." I whispered and she chuckled.

"And you have me." She breathed.

Madison let out a loud gurgle and a burp just then. Bella laughed, picking her up to make sure that she was done burping.

"It looks like we really are a family, the girls are competing already."

"I love you Bella." I whispered again, and she smiled widely at me.

"I love you too, Edward. I really do."

FIN.

Actually...maybe not. I still have to do an epilogue, and outtakes. BUT. I don't know what to do for them. I promise I'll do them, but I need ideas.

This isn't what I originally wrote, but being a computer...my computer decided not to save it any of the times that I clicked save while working on it. So, this is the best I could produce off of a bad mood, and a sixth try.

So, if you want any more from this story, you're required to review, because I don't know what else to do with it :)

REVIEW, MY LOVELIES!
