Chapter Eighteen
"Rosalie!" I called Riley went to feed and I took my chance to talk to her. She came in and stood at the entrance.
"Yes?"
"I need to talk to you" she came and sat in the chair.
"Has Carlisle told you what's happened?" I ask she nodded
"If it is possible I don't know what will happen but I don't think it will be good. The others might turn against it and want me to have an abortion. I need someone on my side because I'm not doing it. Will you help me"
"If it comes down to it I will be on your side I promise" I smile
"I know you've never liked me."
"I do like you it's just I wish you weren't brought into this world"
"And Bella"
"Her lack of respect for mortality " I chuckle but then stop thinking.
"Rosalie if I am which I do honestly think so. I will have to do the change, it's not that I want to become a vampire like Bella does it's just that I don't think Riley would be able to cope, and I know what it's like to lose a mother. I don't want my child growing up without one." she was silent for a moment.
"I have to agree with that" I was surprised
"Really?"
"It's like you said, your choice is not to become one but out of duty and your dying anyway I see the sense in that. You're not like Bella she does it because she wants to and she thinks she will be better as a vampire, there is nothing wrong with her life but yours it hangs in the balance and you're doing it because you need to. You want to be a mother and not put your child through it."
"In some twisted way that actually makes sense"

A couple of days later Alice gasped and picked up her phone. I looked at Riley then back at Alice.
"Bella? Are you alright?" Alice asks
"Why? what's wrong I just..." she stopped as Carlisle came over wanting to talk to Bella "Here's Carlisle " she handed over the phone
"Bella what's going on?" he asked "Has Edward been harmed" I felt Riley tense up
"Yes it's possible, look I won't explain everything right now but I need you to get to the mainland at once" he said
"What's going on?" I ask Carlisle turned to look at me
"It seems Bella is also pregnant, I have to go through the same things I did with you to be sure."
"I think it's possible, Bella's future has gone as well. It's just like you Johanna"
"Two pregnancies, how can that even happen?"
"That I don't know"
"I mean I know how it can happen but. I didn't even think it was possible for even me to get pregnant with what's going on I thought it was a fluke but Bella as well." I shook my head trying to wrap my head around what was going on.
Two humans married to vampires, both get down with it, both get pregnant and both close in age. Is this some sort of twisted story.
A hour later Rose got a call and it was from Bella. When she hung up she told me that Bella asked the same thing except Sparkle wasn't so happy. Not that I'm saying Riley was I think it hasn't hit home yet.
-----
"Carlisle" I heard Sparkle. there was footsteps and both came into the front room
"Johanna what are you doing here?" she ask coming over too me
"Why don't they both of you sit down" Bella did so but Sparkle stood.
"Carlisle you said it was possible. How is it possible?" he asked
"I don't know that part but I know it's possible because Johanna is also with child" Sparkle looked over at me.
"you are too?" Bella asked I smiled and nodded
"We don't know how but we think is the reason for my tumour escalating."
"What?" she asked i sighed
"Before the wedding I had began to lose mobility. It was only my right hand, a few days ago i threw up and lost my legs. Cause the baby is putting pressure on me internally the tumour is doing the same"
"What?" she asked "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I didn't want to worry you."
"Bella will you come with me please" Carlisle asked and I nodded for her to go.
"Nothing ever changes" i chuckled
"What do you mean?" Alice asked
"We've always been close, our parents got pregnant round the same time. I was born a month early" because we were so close in age things started for us round the same time. I would start my period then she did. It's nearly always been like that. Once one has something or does something the other won't be far behind."
Bella came back with Edward looking shell shocked.
"Riley pass me my phone" he did so and I took a picture
"That is a reaction I will never forget" Bella shakes her head in amusement.
"So what's the verdict?" I ask my cousin.
"He can't get a ultrasound or blood" I nodded
"We are truly two of a kind" I smiled
"Riley will you take me to bed please Bella come with I want to talk to you" I was lifted up and taken to mine and Riley's room. He laid me down and pulled the covers over me kissing my temple.
"I'll leave you both too it." he left and I grabbed Bella's hand
"Are those your Mom's rings" I nodded
"A couple of days after you left Riley and I went to Vegas to get married"
"A Vegas wedding?" she laughed
"hey don't knock it was a part of my bucket list" i smiled
"You had a bucket list"
"Yeah 10 things to do before you die and I completed all of them."
"You can't die" she gripped my hand
"I'm not going to" I smiled
"what do you mean"
"I'm convinced Riley can turn me after I have the baby. I don't want my child growing up without a mother. That and if Riley were to lose me and have a reminder that their here and I'm not I fear he will resent them. I don't want that"
"You're going to become a vampire"
"It sometimes scares me how much we can be alike" I laughed
"it's like the universe is telling us we should have been twins" I stopped laughing
"Does Charlie know?" she wondered
"No, the day that the baby took hold my legs gave way and he brought me over. I told him Carlisle was going to wire me up and I didn't want him to see me like this. I call him every day so he knows that I'm okay. It won't be long until they have to tell him I passed i guess both of us will have passed"
"Yeah I guess you're right."
"Sleepover?" I asked
"Yeah sleepover" she got under the covers and we fell asleep.
