"three heartbeats"
•••
At 18 weeks pregnant, Hayley struggled to put on the maternity pants that Alice bought for her only a few weeks ago. She eventually gave up and decided to wear a pair of Jasper's sweatpants and one of his shirts, since they were the only things she could currently fit into.
As she finished getting dressed, her phone began to ring. With a frustrated sigh, she quickly searched the bedroom for the small device. Once she found it, she read the caller ID with a smile on her face.
"Hello," she said once she answered.
"Hey!" Bella responded. "It's been forever, how have you been?"
Hayley ran her hand over her round stomach, debating if it was the right time to tell her. Since Bella was on her honeymoon, the dhampir thought it would be best to keep her pregnancy a secret so she didn't ruin their trip. "I'm doing great," Hayley responded. "I really miss you, though."
"I miss you, too," Bella told her. "But, we'll be home before you know it."
"I'm glad," Hayley said. "So, how has your honeymoon been?"
"It's been okay," the Cullen girl sighed. "Edward refuses to tough me, though. He's scared he's going to hurt me."
"You've been gone for two months and you haven't even--"
"No, we haven't," Bella interrupted.
"Damn," Hayley muttered.
"I know," Bella groaned. "I don't know what to do at this point."
"Well, don't pressure him," Hayley told her. "Just wear some sexy lingerie and set the mood."
Bella laughed, "I'll have to try that."
Jasper walked into the room and smiled at the sight of his pregnant wife in his clothes. Hayley spotted him and smiled back and she talked into the phone. "I've got to go," she told Bella. "Call you later?"
"Absolutely," she replied. "I love you."
"Love you, too," Hayley said as she ended the call.
Jasper walked over to Hayley and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Is there a reason you're wearing my clothes," he asked.
"Mine don't fit," she pouted.
"At all?" Jasper asked.
Hayley narrowed her eyes, "Have you seen how big my stomach has gotten? Your children are growing like crazy."
Jasper looked down at her swollen stomach and smiled. He loved to watch her body change as their babies grew. He loved how her face and hips were fuller and how her breasts had already tripled in size. He placed a hand on her hard belly, "You do realize you're only half way through the pregnancy, right?"
"Don't remind me," Hayley groaned. "My back hurts and my boobs are so tender. I can't wait until these suckers are born."
"Me either," Jasper said, bending down to kiss her bump. "I'll have Alice buy you some bigger clothes."
"Thank you," Hayley said as she ran her hand through Jasper's golden locks. "Is Carlisle ready?"
"He is," Jasper replied.
The two left their bedroom and started towards Carlisle's office when they ran into Rose, Emmett, and Esme. Rose had a small smile on her face as she looked over Hayley's pregnant figure. "We wanted to ask you something," Rose said.
"What's up?" Hayley asked, placing her hand on her lower back.
"Since you're finding out the gender today, we were wondering if we could go to the appointment with you," Rose said.
Hayley smiled, "Of course you guys can."
They walked into the office, where Carlisle was already waiting for them. He smiled when he noticed his other children and wife were also there.
Hayley made her way over to Carlisle and climbed onto the chair with the help of her husband. She lifted up her shirt, revealing her large belly to everyone. Carlisle applied the gel and pressed the ultrasound probe to her stomach.
The sound of three heartbeats filled the room as he looked closely for the genders of the babies. He took a few pictures of the ultrasound before turning back to the eager parents. "Baby A is a boy-"
"I knew it!" Jasper exclaimed.
"-and baby B is a girl," the doctor finished.
Tears filled Hayley's eyes. "A boy and a girl?" She said.
"Yes," Carlisle nodded. "And they're both still doing great."
Jasper smiled as he wiped the tears off of Hayley's cheeks. He lowered himself to her level and placed a long kiss on her lips. "We get to have a son and a daughter," he whispered, leaning his forehead against hers. "God, I love you."
"I love you, too," she said as she grabbed his hand and placed it on her stomach.
"Congratulations you guys," Esme told them as she placed a hand on her husband's shoulder.
"Now you've got to pick names!" Rose said with an excited smile.

Hayley let out a nervous breath as she stood outside of the pack's house. She was wearing an extra large hoodie to cover her growing baby bump, just so she'd have the change to tell the pack without them immediately noticing her stomach.
She knocked on the door and waited a few seconds before Emily opened the door with a bright smile. "Hayley! Come in, it's been a while," she said. "Wow, you look so different."
The pregnant woman walked into the house and was greeted by the wolves, who were currently eating lunch. "What's up, Hayley?" John asked as he stuffed his face.
"Well, I was in the area and thought I'd stop by and share some news with you guys," she told them as she sat down at the table.
"Is it about Bella?" Jake asked. "Did he turn her?"
Hayley quickly shook her head. "No, she's still enjoying her honeymoon," she told him.
"Then what's this about?" He asked.
"It's about Jasper and I," she began.
"Are you guys getting divorced?" John asked.
"No, now let me finish," Hayley huffed and the wolves quieted down. "I didn't know it was possible or else we would've been more careful, but.. I'm pregnant."
Nicole gasped, "Are you sure? Sometimes the tests are wrong."
Hayley chuckled as she stood up and lifted the hoodie to expose her rounded stomach. "I'll be 20 weeks in 4 days," she told them as the pack stared at her belly.
"20 weeks?" John asked.
Hayley nodded. "We're having twins," she said. "A boy and a girl."
Emily walked over to the girl and hugged her. "Congratulations, Hayley," she said.
"And they're Jasper's? How?" Sam asked, crossing his arms over his chest.
"It's because I'm a dhampir," Hayley said, pulling away from Emily. "My genes allow me to procreate with any supernatural being, including vampires."
"So you're having dhampir-vampire babies?" Jake scoffed.
"They'll be dhampirs," Hayley corrected.
"And what does Bella think of this?" Jake asked.
"Bella doesn't know," Hayley told him. "She doesn't need to be bothered on her honeymoon."
Jake nodded, "If you say so. But if you ask me, she deserves to know."
"Good thing I didn't ask you," Hayley said.
