Edward POV:

Lying there with my three angels as they slept was the most wonderful feeling in the world. I was holding Bella and Aurora to my chest, and Bella was cradling Antoinette in her arms between the two of us, I could have stayed like that forever. They were all asleep. They were all so peaceful in their sleep. Bella was talking again, something about “family” and “daddy”. I wasn’t sure exactly what she was dreaming about, but whatever it was it seemed pleasant, she was smiling. She had the most beautiful smile. It was breathtaking. Even more so when I could see her eyes, beautiful, big chocolate brown eyes. And knowing I would get to look into them when she woke up was wonderful.

Antoinette was mumbling some random baby words; she was going to be like her mother. It was so cute. She looked just like her, too. More so than Aurora. She was going to be the spitting image of Bella.

Rora looked a lot like her mother, but not exactly like her. She had the same pale skin and brown eyes and hair, but her facial features were different. She looked like she was going to be taller, too. Still beautiful, though.

They were all beautiful…they were angels, my angels. I loved the three of them more than anything in the world.

Bella had set an alarm for herself to wake up for Rora’s doctor’s appointment. It went off at 2:00. The girls stayed asleep, though. “Bella?” I wasn’t sure if she wanted me there, but I had a feeling she needed the support, and I was more than willing to give her that. “Yes, Edward?” she replied, a curious expression on her face.

“Do you want me to go with you?” I could see the shock on her face. “Would you like to come?” I could tell she didn’t really believe me.

“Yes. If you’ll let me, of course.”

“I would like that,” she said finally looking up. She smiled at me, it was a small smile, but it was happy one.

She woke up Aurora and as she got her ready, I held Antoinette. She was still asleep. While Bella was upstairs she woke up crying. At first I panicked, like anyone else would do. I wasn’t human, but this was the closest I’d ever been to a baby, and I was panicking! I stood up and did the whole walk and bounce thing I’d heard in the minds of thousands of mother’s that I’d always tried to tune out. I was now extremely thankful for their knowledge. She quieted down and looked up at me, and then she closed her eyes and curled into my chest, as if acknowledging the fact that I knew what I was doing. I smiled down at her and reveled in the fact she seemed not to see me as a total idiot. Antoinette fell back asleep after that, and it felt good to know I wasn’t a complete failure at this.
