Chapter 2
Harrys P.O.V.
I walked into the house to see Neville leaning over some books in the living room he looked up as I walked in and he smiled at me but he sat up straight and closed the book when I didn't smile back.
"What's wrong" he asked
"I think I'm pregnant" I said
"You and Jasper..." Neville trailed off
"Yeah" I blushed
"I though that you wanted to wait that you weren't ready yet? You wanted to right? He didn't push you did he?" Neville asked with concern.
"No he didn't I wanted to"
"What changed your mind" Neville asked
I shuffled my feet and looked away
"Harry" Neville said
"I had a dream last night a very bad dream and when I woke up it just felt like it was the right thing."
"The dream was about your uncle wasn't it?"
I looked away refusing to meet his eyes.
"Harry" Neville sighed "Its alright you know to have nightmares about what he did"
"Neville" I said cutting him off right there "I don't want to talk about it please its over and don't you tell Jasper please?"
Neville shook his head "Why not Harry? He could help you thorough this."
"Please Neville I don't want him to know"
"You know" Neville said "He could already know, we don't know what Alice saw."
I got a worried look on my face. I would have to make sure to get Alice alone soon and ask.
"But we will worry about that later come, sit here, so I can check you over" he said scooting over on the couch and patting the seat beside him.
I went and sat beside him. Neville pulled his wand out and made a complicated looking movement and muttered a few words and when he was done he tapped his wand point against a spare piece of parchment that was lying beside him and read the results. When he was done he looked up and smiled at me.
"Congratulations are in order Harry" he said "Do you want to know what you will be having" he asked
I started to nod but then said "I think I should ask Jasper first"
"You can tell Jasper later if he wants to know" Neville said
"Yeah" I said
Neville leaned over and whispered into my ear and my face broke out into a wide grin.
"Here" Neville said getting up from the couch and retrieving some books from the bookcase beside the couch. "Read these and if you have any questions just ask me."
"Where did you get these from?" I asked
"Before I came to forks I visited my vault at gringotts and found these books along with others" Neville said
After that was said we both got up and headed back to the Cullen's house and I guess some of my worry over what Alice might have seen was displayed on my face because Jasper started to walk towards me with concern on his face but I sent Jasper an apologetic smile and asked Alice
"Can I talk to you for a second please?"
Alice looked at Jasper for a second before saying "Of course" and both of us left the house and she led me to an out of the way clearing once there I turned to Alice.
"Alice" I asked "What have you seen in your visions about me, especially my life with my relatives"
Alice looked confused for a second before comprehension shone in her eyes and she looked at me with a knowing sad smile on her face and I had a pretty good idea of what she was going to say but I needed to hear it.
Alice seemed to know this and she told me all about what she had seen. I was near tears by the time Alice finished and she came forward to give me a hug but I pulled away giving her what I could muster of a smile so she knew it was nothing personal she smiled in understanding and just patted my shoulder.
I asked her if she had told Jasper and she admitted that the whole family knew as they had all been there when she had had the visions. I sighed and close my eyes.
"Harry" Alice started to say but I held up my hand stopping her
"Don't worry about it Alice" I said looking away and wiping my eyes where a few traitious tears had escaped. "Thank you for telling me" I continued putting a weak smile on my face.
Alice looked at me critically "That's what your bad dreams are about, what your relatives did to you, aren't they?"
I sighed there was no point in lying to Alice "The majority yes" I said "but you can't tell Jasper" I continued
"Why not Harry?" Alice asked
"Please, Alice I just don't want him to know"
"He won't think any less of you, you know"
"Alice please" I pleaded
"Alright" she said with a sigh "I won't tell him" She said
"Thank you Alice" I said gratefully "Why don't you go back to the house" I said "I'll be along in a couple of minutes.
Alice looked at me worriedly but agreed and left the clearing. After I was sure she had left I let a few tears roll down both my cheeks letting one sob escape before closing my eyes and taking a few deep breaths and composing my self before heading back to the house.
Jaspers P.O.V.
I watched Harry and Alice leave the house before turning to Neville confused I opened my mouth to ask a question but Neville cut me off Harry is fine and so is the baby.
"So he is pregnant" Emmett asked. Neville nodded
I acknowledged that information filling it away for the moment. I was more concerned about Harry.
"If he was okay why did he look worried and why did he want to talk to Alice alone" I asked.
"I would assume that Harry is worried because he is going to be a father soon and he hasn't exactly had the best or most consient role models."
"What do you mean" I asked
"Well his uncle was no role model what so ever and his godfather wasn't around long enough to be a conisent enough role model for Harry to learn much from him."
"So why did he want to talk to Alice alone" I asked again
"That is for Harry to tell you if he wants to" Neville said
I was about to protest but Neville quickly continued
"It's not for me to say" and before I could say anything else Alice came waltzing in a frown on her face.
"Alice" I asked "Where is Harry?"
"He said he would be along shortly" she said
"What did you two talk about" I asked
"I promised him that I wouldn't say" she said
I frowned but then Harry came in and I could tell that he had been crying and I was immediately by his side.
"Harry" I started to ask
"Later Jasper, please" he said interrupting me before I could continue I was getting really annoyed at people always interrupting me but he looked so tired and down that I agreed.
"So your pregnant" I stated Harry gave me a small smile
"Yeah" he responded "do you wanna know what it is?" he asked
"You can tell already?" I asked surprised
Harry looked at Neville and Neville answered instead
"Yeah, not only are male pregnancies different than females but we also have spells that will let you know the gender of the baby far sooner than muggle methods.
"Yeah I would love to know" I said
Harry leaned up to whisper in my ear but of course my whole family heard.
"We are having a baby girl" he whispered my face split into a huge grin and the rest of my family crowded around us offering congratulations.
Neville stayed for a while longer explaining what made male pregnancies different than female ones like for example male pregnancies lasted 10 months instead of just 9 and other things of that sort he stopped when he noticed that Harry was trying and failing to suppress a yawn.
"I think that is it for today" he said "You should get some sleep Harry" he continued "You and the baby are going to need it. Harry tried to protest but I shushed him and ushered him gently up the stairs and into bed and as soon as his head hit the pillow he was fast asleep.
Harry was once again having a horrible nightmare. I once again tried to wake him from it like usually but also like usual I was unable to. I could do nothing but watch him thrash and see the tears roll down his cheeks until he was able to jolt himself awake as I was thinking this Harry did just that, he sat bolt upright, his eyes wide and scanning the room. When he recognized where he was he turned and buried his face into my side and I just held him muttering soothing words into his ear.
"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked like I always do. I didn't really expect him to as he never did, but I wanted him to know that I was here and that I would listen if he ever wanted to.
As I was expecting him to say no, I was a little startled when he nodded his head yes, but I recovered quickly and leaned against the headboard and maneuvered him till he was leaning against my chest and my arms were wrapped around him securely.
"What was it about?" I asked him, he snuggled back into my chest, and curled up into my lap and answered so quietly that if I hadn't been a vampire I would have missed it said
"It was about the night that my goddaughter died." I looked at him curiously he hadn't said much about his goddaughter in fact the only thing that I knew about her was that she had died when she was 4 and that Harry had been a witness to it. I held him tighter.
"Tell me about it" I encouraged him as I knew talking about it would make him feel slightly better.
"Let me tell you a little about her first" he said and I nodded letting him get to telling me in his own time. Her name was lily named after my mother and she was the daughter of one of my father's best friends and another friend of mine. She had sandy colored hair like her father and blue eyes she also got her mothers talent of being able to change her appearance."
That got my attention and I was tempted to interrupt and ask him some questions but he was finally talking about one of his nightmares and I was reluctant to stop him so I decided to just ask him later and filed those questions away in my mind for another time.
"She was just so cute. When she was born I was 14 at the time so I was surprised but delighted when Remus, my fathers friend and Tonks, my friend asked me to be her godfather."
Harry had a small sorta sad smile on his face and I tightened my arms around him for a moment. He fell silent after that and I just held him. After about 20min with him not saying anything I encouraged him
"What happened?" I asked
"It was about a week after she had turned 4 and I was over visiting with Remus, Tonks, Tonks mother Andromeda and of course Lily. Lily had just been laid down to rest in her crib upstairs in the Nursery when the door was smashed down and Voldemort's inner circle came swarming in."
I was listening intently now, more intently than before from what I had learned from Neville before about Voldemort and his inner circle especially, they were a nasty bunch and this was coming from me a vampire and the youngest major in the confederate army.
As I listened to him tell me of what they did I felt myself growing more horrified at what these monsters did and how they had held Harry back from helping them, he could do nothing but watch as they brutally murdered not only his friends Remus and Tonks but his 4 year old goddaughter as well, the things they did to that little girl, I'm sure that if I was human I would have thrown up by now.
As he broke down crying after finishing his horrfying tale, I couldn't think of anything to say because nothing would make the pain of watching all that and being helpless to stop it, go away. So I just held him tighter and closer and rubbed his back.
Eventually his sobs quieted and he fell back into an uneasy sleep. I continued to watch over him for the rest of the night. The next morning Harry got up smiled at me gave me a kiss then made a dash for the downstairs bathroom where he just made it in time to throw up. I was right there with him in the next second rubbing soothing circles on his back, when he was done he moved to the sink and brushed his teeth as we exited the bathroom I made eye contact with Carlisle and I could see and feel his concern.
We knew from Neville that the symptoms of pregnancy would be sped up because of it being a male pregnancy but he said that it would not start for at least 2 or 3 weeks. I decided to not only try to talk to Neville at the next available moment but also that I would propose tonight.
I had asked Edward and Alice last night to keep Harry busy for a few hours today while I went and picked up the ring. I had found the perfect one on a website of a jewelers in Seattle and they had informed me that it should be ready for pick up today. It was a silver platinum band with diamonds 1/3rd of the way down each side starting at the top with a small square stone in the center it was simple yet sensible.
When I got back Harry was curled up in the window reading one of the books Neville had given him.
"Hey beautiful" I said as I walked up to him and leaned down to kiss him, he smiled and leaned up to kiss me back.
"Hey" he said when he pulled back "Where did you disappear off to today?"
I smiled "Why don't you come with me and I'll show you."
He looked puzzled but he got up anyway and placed his book where he was sitting.
"Where are we going?" he asked
"You'll see" I said before picking him up bridal style and running out of the house, as I left I could hear various members of my family chuckle and wish me good luck. I took him to this gorgeous field I had found the first night my family had moved to forks. It had wild flowers in every color imangible all around on the ground and tall trees in a circle around the field. I put Harry down in the center while he looked around him in awe his mouth slightly open.
When he finally looked back at me I gently caressed his beautiful face before softly closing his mouth that was still open.
He smiled and said "This is beautiful Jasper, how did you find it?"
"It was when my family first moved here, I was out surveying the surroundings around the house and I stumbled across this place. So naturally when I meet you I thought that you would like to see this place, plus I though that it would be the perfect place to ask you something."
His smile turned into a confused look, "Ask me what?"
"I smiled at him "Harry I knew from the moment I saw you that I would never, could never, love anyone else as much and as totally as I love you"
His breath caught and I continued, getting down on one knee pulling out the ring box
"All the time I have spent with you these past weeks has been the best time of my total existence." I held up the ring box and opened it "I would be honored if you would merry me" his mouth had fallen open again but then he composed himself, closed his mouth, smiled brightly at me and nodded
"Yes, yes of course I will marry you."
I jumped up and lifted him up by the waste spinning him around and then kissing him deeply. I noted somewhere deep in my mind that it showed how much he trusted me now that he didn't flinch away from me because of the speed I moved with.
