The Various Emotions of Leah and Edward

Part 3: Tomorrow

Leah's POV

"So you want to what?" I asked as Edward and Carlisle stared at me.

"I want to induce your labor. You've been pregnant almost for two months now and the baby is running out of space," Carlisle explained.

"Babies… plural," Edward confirmed. "I'm pretty positive I'm reading two minds instead of one. They are uncomfortable and squished to hear them explain it." I sat on the couch in Carlisle office and they just stared at me waiting for me to say something. I wasn't sure what they were expecting. It wasn't like I wanted to stay pregnant forever. I personally missed seeing my feet and tying my own shoes, but I wanted to make sure the babies were ready. Babies! I held my head. I was nowhere near ready. Alice was supposed to have the baby's room finished a couple weeks ago and we were still missing a crib.

"So how do you think you will induce me? Normal medicine isn't going to work on me Carlisle."

"I thought about that. This situation I we will just increase the dosage and as soon as you start to dilate I plan to break your water even if you aren't 10 cinameters dilated. This is going to be very painful for you Leah because you're going to have to push hard and fast regardless of whether you're having a contraction. The object of the game will be getting the babies out before you start to heal." I nodded.

"We think that your ability to heal has kept the babies a trapped. They don't want to hurt you by breaking through your skin. They have amazing self control." Edward smiled down at my stomach and ran his hand over my bump.

"Can you tell their sex?" I asked, Edward listened for a moment.

"They don't really have voices yet so I can't be sure."

"Do you have I guess?" I pushed and he chuckled.

"Why does it matter? We will know first thing tomorrow." My face dropped when he gave me this news. It seemed kind of fast but if the babies were suffering I would do all I could to elevate that. "I want you to get a good night's rest Leah so you'll have enough energy to endure this," Edward said as he grabbed my hand and squeezed it tightly.

"You seriously think I'm going to be able to sleep? I'm going to be a mom tomorrow all I can think about is how everything feels unfinished. The baby's clothes haven't been put in the drawers. There's no crib! Where are they going to sleep once they're out of the oven?" Edward chuckled.

"Those things can be easily remedied Leah. I think they will be happy sleeping anywhere as long as it has more space than where they are now. I'm going to make you some tea and rub your feet that should help you relax. Then I'll go to work on the other things that need to be done." I rolled my eyes I didn't want him to do all the work I wanted to be included. I wanted to make sure everything was perfect for their arrival how was I going to do that if I was unconscious.

"I want to do this for them and for you. I want to make up for the time that I wasn't here this will give me that opportunity." I huffed out a groan in response. I get that he felt guilty as he should, but it didn't make my desire to participate vanish.

"How about you make me some tea, I'll chill in the rocking chair in the nursery until I get tired, and I watch you sort things out? That will help me feel involved and you get to do all the work. How does that sound?"

"That sounds like a deal Ms. Clearwater," Edward smiled at me briefly and then his look became serious. "Leah, you're having my babies."

"Yeah," I uttered cautiously. I had no idea where his thoughts were taking him.

"We aren't married you won't have the same last name as our children. Do you want to get married?" I arched my eyebrow at him.

"Are you asking me if I ever want to get married or are you proposing?" Edward paused for a minute to think about it. "Since you're unsure I'll answer both. Yes, eventually I would love to get married, and no if this is your proposal because you're capable of better. So how about that tea?" Edward took my hand and led me downstairs to the kitchen as he put the water on to boil I could tell his mind was at work about something. I wasn't sure that I wanted to know what it was.

"I was thinking that tonight will be the last night of it just being you and me. Promise me once the babies are born you won't change too much." He dropped the tea bag in my mug and poured the hot water over it.

"I can't really promise that, but I can promise that my love for you won't ever change." He gave me that lopsided grin that let me know that I'd said the right thing. I took a sip of my tea it was good but it needed a little lemon before I could leave my seat Edward was in the fridge and retrieving the lemon juice. Edward was going to be the perfect dad, whenever the babies cried he was going to know exactly what the needed.

"I hope you're right about me being perfect. I'm pretty nervous about the whole father thing. I'm not used to being around children." I took my tea and started towards the stairs, Edward followed me to the nursery. The room was painted sky blue and had little clouds painted on it. Edward and I looked at the mountains of baby clothes that Alice still had in the bags.

"She went overboard." Edward gazed at everything and I agreed. I grabbed one of the bags in the corner and pulled out the little pink dress inside. I really wasn't a fan of pink.

"We probably should take off the tags," I mumbled.

"If you don't like Alice will just give the clothing to charity so it doesn't matter." Edward had his back to me. He was looking all the clothes that were already put away in the closet. I waddled over to him and wrapped my arms around his waist. I was starting to get a little nervous about tomorrow. I nuzzled close to him and tried to melt my own insecurities. He turned to me quickly, lifted me, and placed me in the rocking chair and placed my feet on the matching ottoman.

"Stay! Relax and drink your tea!" He played and wiggled his finger at me I acted as if I was going to bite it. "We had a deal Ms. Clearwater you stay put." Edward whipped around at vampire speed luckily I'd been dating him long enough that I'd learned to focus my eyes so he didn't look like the white flash when he went back and forth. He only paused when he thought something was cute or interesting. I couldn't help but think he was adorable toying with the tiny little clothes. I took a deep breath and made myself comfortable in my chair. I allowed my mind to wander to the wonderful journey that we'd be embarking on tomorrow.

Edward's POV

"The fun has arrived!" Emmett declared as he brought in the large box that contain the crib that we needed to put together.

"Nice!" I said as pointed to where I wanted to crib located.

"Leah crashed on you huh?" I looked over at Leah and smiled I was glad she'd finally calmed down enough to rest. She was really nervous about tomorrow's events normally I would've tried to comfort her but I thought that talking about it might of made her anxiety even higher.

"Yeah, I'm glad she finally fell asleep. I didn't want to move her to the bed because I was afraid if I jostled her she'd wake up."

"You ready for all this man?" Emmett immediately started emptying the contents of the box. We both looked over the directions. At first I thought he was talking about putting together the crib but his thoughts reveal that he was asking about becoming a father.

"I might as well be," I whispered. I wanted to confess that I didn't think I had it in me to be a dad. I never saw myself in the role. When Bella was pregnant I never had time to really process all that would be involved in raising a child I was to concern with Bella just making it through it … which she didn't.

"Just remember that this is a gift man. If I could give Rose a child and create a family unit for her, I would jump on the opportunity. I'd love to be a dad," Emmett confessed.

"You'd make a good one." Emmett had a childlike playful nature that I was sure that a child would enjoy. He'd most definitely be able to relate to them.

"Thanks man," he murmured as he started putting the crib together. Eventually everyone made their way into the room and was working on it. It only took about thirty minutes for us to get everything completed. The room looked amazing! I couldn't wait for Leah to wake up and be surprised by everything. She'd wake up in the morning and be in a spanking new nursery, by that evening our babies would be resting in the maple crib right by the window. I was crazy but now I was starting to see it. I could visualize Leah resting the rocking chair with a baby swaddled in a little white blanket wrapped in her arms. This was the first time that the thought of everything seemed possible and I was happy about it. I was excited about tomorrow because a new chapter in Leah and my life would begin.
