(Bella POV)

His lips tickled my neck as we spun around dancing that night, the moon shining brightly overhead. The wedding was amazing…everything I had wanted and more. Alice was a genius. I was to go and thank her for her wonderful job…but then I saw her and remembered what had happened.

(Edward POV)

Her laugh rang through the night, making my already huge smile even bigger. I lifted my lips from her neck and looked at her. She was so beautiful; it was hard to believe she was mine. I leaned down to kiss her lips once more, but I saw that she was turned the other direction. I followed her gaze…and my heart sank.

(Emmett POV)

She was so hot when she danced. My Rose, all dressed up and gorgeous, was dancing around me in such an awesome way that I cheered her on. Smiling to myself, I thought about who would love this just as much as me…and then it hit me. He was gone.

(Rose POV)

Even if it wasn't my wedding, I was having the time of my life. My husband whooped and hollered as I danced around them. I wanted to bring my sister with me to enjoy the fun. Spinning I around, I was about to ask…and the big smile that had been on my face fell.

The pain...it was hard to stand. It was eating her alive, tearing her heart in half slowly but surely. Why had she even agreed to come to this wedding? It didn't matter that she had planned it...she had also planned on having someone come with her. But he wasn't here. And he wasn't coming anytime soon.

Gripping the side of her chair, she froze when she heard the beginning music to Set Fire to the Third Bar. Were they trying to mock her? It took her a moment to realize she had planned this, to have a dance with her husband. She watched as Bella tried frantically to motion to the DJ to stop the song, but he wasn't paying attention. Her whole family turned and gave her a sad look. She didn't pay attention, she just sat there, trying with all her might not to start crying. Her teeth dug ferociously into her lip, blood appearing in her mouth. You can't break down here, not now...

She tried to distract herself, to drown out the soft song that was killing her inside, stabbing her already bleeding heart. People were beginning to get confused, wondering why there wasn't anyone out on the dance floor. Looking down, she saw the bright sunlight from outside bounce off her ring...and that did it. She couldn't take this anymore.

Getting up, she turned and ran outside, already feeling the coming tears. She didn't care anymore, not about anything or anyone. He wasn't here. What was the point of pretending she was ok? She wasn't and she never would be. Trying to escape the song still ringing outside as well as in her head, she burst into the Cullen mansion, desperate for this pain to end. Slamming the door behind her, she ran into the living room...and saw the picture on the table from the funeral earlier.

Sudden anger filled her, flowing through every nerve in her body. She asked herself a question she had been asking herself for the past few days: Why?

Barely able to hold herself together, she grabbed the picture and flung it away from her, listening to it break against the tile floor in the kitchen. "WHY?!" she screamed, though she didn't know who would respond. "Why did you leave me? Why did you have to go and get sick like that? WHY DID GOD TAKE YOU AWAY FROM ME, JASPER?!"

Sobbing, Alice Cullen fell to the floor, shaking so bad that she could barely breathe. She barely heard the rest of her family file though the front door, all of them hurting at the sight of her. Carlisle scooped her up in his arms, sitting on the couch. Alice felt people kissing her forehead, people hugging her and stroking her hair and wiping her tears away. But she was so dazed that she could barely register any of this. She was so sick with grief, like Jasper was before the leukemia had taken him in its deathly grip.

After a moment, she realized it wasn't fair to her family that she wasn't listening to them. Sitting up, she wiped her eyes and looked at all of them. They were silent, all of their eyes full of worry. "I'm sorry, to all of you. It's just..." She gripped Carlisle's hand, her breathing speeding up. "...it's just hard for me to...realize that he's gone." She looked pointedly at Bella and Rosalie and Esme, knowing that they would feel the same way if they lost their husbands. Bella hugged her, rubbing her back. "Alice, there's no reason to apologize to us...we know it's hard for you..." Rosalie and Esme were at a loss for words, unable to imagine the pain she was going through. Alice wanted to hug her back...but she just didn't have enough energy right now to do that.

Bella pulled away, and Alice sighed. Standing up, she ran her hand over her eyes, wiping the tears and the tired from her eyes. "Thank you, all of you." Her eyes filled with tears again, despite the fact that she was trying so hard to be strong. "I think Jasper would be thankful for all of you." She managed a small smile at them, then turned and walked up the stairs to her and Jasper's room. No one tried to stop her, they just watched her close the door behind her.

Alice looked around the room. It was just like before, when Jasper still stayed here with her. She ran her hands along the bedspread, trying to remember happier times. Lying down, she faced the empty space on her bed, thinking of how he used to lean over and kiss her. Her eyes wandered over to the clock, and her heart skipped a beat. Exactly a week ago, Jasper had lost his battle with leukemia. Surprisingly, she didn't begin to cry or sob. Instead, she turned her gaze towards the picture on the nightstand, of them at their wedding. Sitting up, she reached over and took it, taking a long hard look at his smiling face. She couldn't help but grin.

Looking down, she ran her hand across her swollen stomach. She felt a small kick on the palm of her hand. She felt a tear fall down her cheek, but as she spoke, her voice was surprisingly steady. "Your daddy tried hard to stay and meet you. But...God had a different plan." She felt another kick, as if the baby was listening. "He was amazing...he was going to be the best father in the world. But...you'll get to meet him someday. Maybe you can meet him before you come to me." The tears were falling faster now, but she was ok. It was all going to be all right, she knew it. Looking up, she could imagine Jasper meeting his son for the first time.

"I love you forever, Jasper Hale. And I won't ever forget you."

A/N: Wow. Emo much? Haha. This idea just popped into my head one day and I had to write it down. It turned into something more…I'm thinking about adding just one more chapter, depending on the readers' responses…SO REVIEW!:D
