chapter 3 : The news (Renesmee's pov)
So Grandpa called the front desk to let them know he was going to be unavailable for a while, then he went and got the necessary tools, sterilised them and got started. I'm not going to comment on the procedure, because trust me I want to forget the whole thing. Grandpa was about as nervous as me, or at least until the camera made it into my uterus and he started getting images that made sense to him, then he was in his universe. To me the image on the screen didn't look like anything, but apparently to him it was the most exciting thing in the world. I was trying to get away from it in my head, think of something else when I heard ”there's two of them”, then I passed out.
I woke up on the couch in grandpa's office, with all my clothes on, 'finally it's over I thought'. And then I remembered
”Grandpa, is it true? twins really?” I couldn't believe it, Jake was going to be so happy.
”Yes sweetheart it's true, but they're not real twins. judging by the placentas, one of them is part vampire, the other is not. What do you say we go home and tell everybody the good news, maybe you want to call Jacob first.”
”No, I don't think I should. I mean, I passed out when you said it was twins. I know he's all big and strong, but I'm not exactly fragile either. I'd rather make sure there's someone near him when I tell him.”
So we got in the cars, grandpa in his Mercedes, and Alice and I following in the Porsche. while we were on the way Alice called my mom to assemble a meeting when we got home. when we came into the living room, they were all seated, waiting for us and Dad said ”So Alice am I finally going to know why you had my wife hide everyone's thoughts from me? what's this big surprise that required you go get Carlisle out from work” Yeah, Dad gets frustrated really fast when you cut off his sixth sense. When he has it he complains about what we think, but I guess it is a part of him and in a way he needs it, and Alice knows it.”chill Edward, I was actually doing a favor to your daughter, by the way Bella don't drop the shield just yet, I'll tell you when you can. Come on Ness, everybody is listening”
”Well, I suppose there's no need to keep you waiting any longer. I'm pregnant.”You know how most people react when hearing that kind of thing, smiles, squealing, congratulations and such. Well vampires can't have kids, up until now we didn't know if I could. When the news registered in their minds pandemonium broke out, it was truly something to watch, Jake was so happy he had tears in his eyes. And then something happened that I had not anticipated. You see, the plan was to let them yell, cry, and be happy, wait for them to calm down and then give the coup-de-grace by telling them it was twins. But the problem is that strong emotions in vampire can have some undesired effects, like a slight loss of control, which is what happened to my mom, her shield just collapsed. Then at this second the news hit my dad, and before he realised I wasn't speaking he said ”really, twins!” and that's when Jake fainted. I couldn't blame him, I had the same reaction, but still I was anxious for him to wake up so that I could know if it was joy or panic. It took him about 30 seconds to come to, the first thing he said was ”no way, twins, I hope we get one of each” with a big smile on his face. So much for my anxiety.
