Adore you. ~Paul Lahote ~

Chapter 24

--- 4 months later ---

The Volturi has came and gone. I an eight months pregnant now. Kim is throwing me a baby shower at Sam's. I put on a long, white dress and some white sneakers.

Rosalie straightens my hair before sending me away. I get into Jasper's truck, he is letting me borrow it, and I drive to La Push. Emily leads me inside and everyone greets me. Brady and Collin have been really close to me since I found out I was pregnant, especially when I found out I'm having twins.

"Hey, Layla." Rachel greets. She is wearing my old wedding ring.

"Hi, Rachel" I say weakly.

"I'm sorry; he gave it to me when you left,  we got married last week."

I nod. "It's okay. I knew he'd grow tired of me; everybody does. I am surprised the Cullen's will like me."

Rachel sighs. "Nobody here hates you; believe me. Jared gives Paul hell everyday."

"Jarred's family, that's different." I tell her.

"Kim, Jacob, Embry, Quil, breast and Collin." Rachel points them out. "They all love you. I swear Paul still loves you. Heck, I even like you and I don't know you."

"Jacob is family too; Billy is my biological uncle." I tell her with a smirk.

She smiles and she brings me to the food. The girls go nuts when I eat some garlic chicken; they love it. I sit at the table with Kim and eat. She is going on about how Jared has been doing Paul since the divorce.

"I find it hilarious." I smirk. "I am happy with the Cullen's."

"I'm glad you're happy; come live with Jared and I when you have the girls. I'll help make a nursery." She smiles.

"Really?" I ask, my eyes becoming watery.

"Yip." Jared says siting beside me.

I smile and thank then; I say that I will. They are gonna build the nursery and me a room after the shower.

"Gift time!" Brady yells.

These kids. I smile and I waddle into the living room. I sit on the couch between my two cousins, Jared and Jacob. The first gift is from Seth. It is a onesie with tiny wolves all over it; two onesie actually. Jacob got them matching Christmas dresses, Christmas is a mot month after they're born.

After the shower, I drive back to the Cullen's. I go up to my room and I work on packing. I have the babies tomorrow. Carlisle and Jasper help me.

Emmett takes my stuff to Jarred's. Carlisle and I go to Sam's for the night. Carlisle is delivering my babies here at Sam's in my old room. Paul smiles at me, Rachel notices and she smiles too. 

"They come tomorrow; via c-section." I tell Rachel and Paul.

"My babies." He coos to my belly.

Rachel and I laugh at his good ways as he talks to the girls.

"I have names." I tell him.

"Oh yeah?" He asks. "What'd ya choose?"

"Rosalie helped." I reply. "I decided on Sasha Rain Lahote and Melinda Roxanne Lahote."

"I like those." Paul agrees. "Sasha and Melinda."

Brady and Collin suddenly agree. What is up with those two? I shrug my shoulders and I go to the room designated to the birth of my babies and my sleeping.

I put on the hospital gown Carlisle gives me and I get into bed. He covers me up and he leaves to chat with the others. I soon grow tired and I drift off to sleep.
