Chapter 8

"Mr. Cullen, I have a confession to make," their newest and youngest employee Bree Tanner said.

"You're aware of the investigation," he asked her.

"Yes, I am sir, and what I have to say is relevant to it," she said.

"Okay proceed," he told her.

"I know who's responsible for Bella's miscarriage..."

"Mr. Cullen, before you leave, there's a package on your desk marked urgent," Heidi told him. He entered his office and sure enough, there was a flower arrangement, a card, and a box. Edward opened the card there was a rhyme written in elegant letters:

"Roses are red, violets are blue,

Bella and Tanya are pregnant; you'll be a father of two."

The flower arrangement had both red roses and violets

The flower arrangement had both red roses and violets. Edward read the card a few times before the message sunk in. He then reached for the box that was tied with red and purple ribbon. He opened it and there were two positive pregnancy tests on a bed of tissue paper. His heart beat fast in his chest, he took the poem and the box and went out the door. He got in his car and drove to Bella's home as fast as he could. He was planning on going there for dinner anyway.

When he arrived his wives and daughters were waiting for him. He crouched and reached for Eliza and Eden as they toppled towards him.

"Dada," they said as they walked towards him.

He took them in his arms, "shirt", Eliza said pulling at the pink shirt she was wearing, Eden was wearing the same but in blue.

"I've got a secret..." the shirt read, he looked at his wives questioningly.

"Turn them around," Bella smiled.

"I'm going to be a big sister," the back of the shirt read.

Edward let the girls down and went to where his wives were standing, his eyes welling up.

"Is it true?" he cried.

"Yes," they both sniffled.

"Both of you?" He asked still in disbelief.

Bella and Tanya nodded and smiled, "thank you, thank you" he cried as he kissed them both.

"When did you find out?" he asked them.

"Yesterday," they replied.

"When are you due?" he asked.

"We don't know; we haven't gone to the doctor. But I'm roughly guessing between late February or mid-March," Tanya said.
