I don't own Twilight, inspired by CuriosityKilledTheSquirell's 'My brother and his girlfriend' Here is my version, some bits are similar, mainly the bit with Jasper.
I rolled over in bed in mine and Edwards new house, a beautiful cottage on the edge of the mead by the Cullen's house. My throat felt tight and I coughed suddenly as the air caught in the back of my throat. I placed a hand on my throat and moaned, A cool hand suddenly pressed to my forehead, and I opened my eyes to see a pair of topaz ones studying me anxiously.
"Bella are you okay?" Alice asked, still looking me over, her eyes obviously trying to find any more areas of concern.
"No." I admitted, my voice cracking and I coughed again. She crouched down by the bed and reached behind me to rub my back. She was here because I and Edward were going out tonight, and she was here to make sure I got dressed appropriately, because it was a surprise where we were going, and then Alice wouldn't have been able to play Bella Barbie all day.
"What hurts?" She asked.
"My eyes, chest, throat and nose." I mumbled and put a hand on my stomach as the wave of nausea washed over me. Morning sickness is not a blessing at the best of times, let alone when you already feel like death and are in the presence of your sister not husband. I was just under five months pregnant and showing, and Edward had reluctantly left to go hunting.
"I'll get you something." She told me, retuning moments later with a glass of water.
As I coughed again she pulled out a thermometer and pressed it under my tongue. I groaned as she read it and frowned.
"Your date with Edward will have to wait till another day, you'll have to stay in bed." She told me and put the thermometer down n the side.
"It's a hundred and four, is that bead?" She asked. I nodded and she frowned.
"I'd better call Edward." She mumbled, I sighed, he would no doubt cut short his hunting trip when he found out I was sick.
She put the phone on loudspeaker and we waited patiently for him to answer, well not so much in Alice's case. I think she was worried that if I got any worse Edward would blame her. I touched her arm reassuringly.
"Hello?" Edward's voice came from the phone. I almost smiled at hearing it, but Edward would not smile when he found out I felt this bad.
"Hey Edward its Alice. Bella's got a fever and she keeps coughing and...."
"How high?" Was Edwards immediate response. Alice bit her lip.
"Alice I'm waiting." His tone was fraught now and straining to be calm.
"A hundred and four." She mumbled.
"What!" Edward yelled and I and Alice both cringed away from the phone.
"I'll be there in a minute." And with that the dial tone played as he hung up.
"I'm really sorry Alice." I whispered and coughed again. She beamed.
"It doesn't matter, I still get to spend some time with you before he gets back, you'd better enjoy this, because I doubt he'll let you out of his sight for at least another week." She told me.
I rolled my eyes and the bay kicked, I gasped,
"What's wrong?" Alice demanded. I laughed and took her hand, placing it on my stomach so she could feel. She smiled and her eyes were sad.
"Oh my god Alice's I'm so sorry." I wheezed as I remembered that Alice could never have children. She laughed and brushed it away.
"I don't really want it for myself, but for Jasper you know?" She said quietly. I smiled and she hugged me as we heard the front door slam. Edward came and crouched by the bed in front of Alice. I took his hand and placed it under mine on my stomach. He looked at me concerned. He felt my forehead and kissed it.
"I'm sorry." I coughed. He began to argue when Alice ran back in with a bucket, just as I started to feel sick. Edward took it from her and helped me roll over. He held my hair and rubbed my stomach as I held the bucket and was violently sick.
"Better?" He asked when I had done. I nodded and he handed me a glass of water.
"Rinse your mouth out." He instructed softly. I did so and he put the glass back on the side, taking the bucket from me, Alice in turn took it out of his hands and went to empty it. I groaned and rolled all the way onto my side. He kneeled on the floor and rested his chin on the mattress so we were at eye level, my left hand through is right to one, and vice versa on my stomach, the baby rolled over and I sighed. He kissed my forehead.
"Are you hot love?" He asked gently. I shut my eyes and shook my head, although I was aware my temperature was high, I felt cold.
Alice left as Carlisle came in, setting a bucket by the bed just in case. Edward kissed my knuckles and went to wait by the widow impatiently. Carlisle sat down facing me and I opened my eyes to see him smile at me,
"Mrs Cullen." He greeted and I laughed quietly. He took my temperature again, it was only ninety eight now, which was good, but not good enough for Edward.
Carlisle said as long as I drank plenty of fluids and got some rest I should be fine, but he was at Carlisle and Esme's house if anything changed.
Carlisle left shortly after and Edward came to sit on the bed, looking down at me. I held my arms open and whimpered like a small child. Edward frowned and pulled me into his lap, rubbing my back fondly, his other hand holding mine on my stomach.
He kissed the top of my head and I sighed, leaning the side of my face against his chest.
"You should sleep love." He told me. I shook my head and he chuckled quietly.
I fell asleep anyway.
JASPER POV
I walked into Bella and Edwards house, carrying Carlisle's stuff he had asked me to bring Edward to keep Bella cool and healthy during her cold.
"In the bedroom Jasper." Edward breathed, his tone fraught I nodded and followed both their scents to see Bella laid on her side on top of the covers, just a thin sheet covering her. She hold one of Edward's hands and the other was under his on her swollen stomach. Edward sighed and got p, kissed her cheek and walking t stand back and observe with me.
I handed him the bag,
"I can stay if you want or so you want to be alone..." I continued. Edward smiled slightly, not looking at me, his eyes trained on his wife.
"Stay, it would be nice, I don't know whether you want to or not." He laughed.
"Okay." I said. I picked the thermometer off the side and handed it to him. He smiled a thank you and crouched down beside the bed, his hand coming to rest back on Bella's stomach, his thumb stroking her skin.
I longed to give Alice a baby, she was not as vocal as wanting one was Rosalie was, but it was still there.
"Darling can you open your mouth for me please; I need to check your temperature." Edward said quietly, kissing her forehead.
Bella moaned and tried to shove Edward away, but he caught her hand and kissed her wrist.
"It's only for a minute sweet heart, then you can go back to sleep okay." He told her.
She whimpered and opened her eyes slightly, holding her arms open. It was heartbreaking to see her this fragile.
"Hey, hey shush." Edward whispered and pulled her onto his lap.
He took her temperature and waited for it to beep. Bella moaned and gagged, Edward shot me a pleading glance and I handed him the bucket. It was sad to watch Bella like this, she never let Edward do anything for her normally, but now it showed me just how much she needed him. How much he needed her to be well and healthy.
"Ninety three, its coming down." He muttered, Bella took a deep breath and calmed herself down, with a little help from me I admit.
Bella went back to sleep after being sick three more times, she was keeping liquids down, it was just food. Carlisle was coming over in an hour to check her over again.
Edward sighed, "Jasper can you just sit with her for a minute, I just need to get her some clean pyjamas." He told me. I nodded, it sounded awful, but she didn't smell nearly as inviting now she had been sick. Edward laughed.
"Lucky you."
He crouched down and touched his wife's cheek. She mumbled his name and I then realised that she was partially awake.
"Love I'll be back in a minute, Jasper's going to sit with you." He informed her gently. She mumbled something and Edward kissed the side of her head again.
"Just keep her cool." He whispered and left. I sat down in Edward's regional place and held my hands on Bella's forehead.
"Edward piss off." She mumbled, obviously half asleep.
"I'm jasper." I said quietly. She mumbled Edward's name again and her breathing return to a regular pattern.
Edward walked back in and I stood up. He thanked me and crouched down beside Bella. She mumbled something and rolled over towards him.
"Can you help me sit her up Jasper, just support her back while I was her neck and shoulders" He asked me.
"Of course." I nodded and helped him sit Bella up, she moaned and leant into my arm as I held her back. Edward carefully pulled her camisole over her head. She was just in her bra and pyjama bottoms. Edward dabbed a cloth and dabbed at her skin. Bella sighed and whispered his name again and again. He frowned as he reached her neck. There was a bruise across the back of her neck.
"Bella." Edward said, she opened her eyes and held her arms open for him. He picked her up and sat down on the bed, I went and leant against the wall, keeping him calm.
"Where did you get this bruise." He asked, running his fingers down her neck. Bella buried her face in his neck and spoke quietly.
"I fell over the other day and smacked my neck on the counter." She told him. I suppressed a chuckle, it was so Bella.
Edward sighed and kissed her hair again. I slipped out of the door, I had helped enough today, and I had a longing to see Alice, there were some things I need to talk to her about.....
