"Why did you leave?" Jasper asked, still not looking in my eyes. "And don't give me that shit about not loving me anymore. You always have been a terrible liar." He laughed humorlessly.

I took a deep breath and decided I needed to tell him the truth. He deserved to know. But I didn't know how to start. So I pulled a picture out of the back pocket of my jeans and handed it to him wordlessly. It showed me in a hospital bed, holding a tiny, newborn Lia.

He gasped and had to sit down on a desk. "You… we… baby? Really?" He managed to say.

"Yes, Jasper. I got pregnant, went back to Pheonix, and had our beautiful baby girl." I calmly explained.

He stared silently at the photo for a few minutes and then said very fast, "What's her name? Can I see her? What does she look like now? How old is she? How did this happen? And WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!?!"

"Our baby's name is Lia. She looks like both of us, with my brown hair, your blue eyes, and pale skin like both of us. She's four months old. She's at Charlie's house with a nanny I hired. You can come over after school to meet her. As for how it happened, well Jasper, see when a boy and a girl love each other-"

He cut me off, rolling his eyes. "I get that part Bella. I'm just surprised you didn't get an abortion or put her up for adoption."

"Get rid of my baby?! Are you crazy?! I love her more than anything else in the world! Nobody can take her away from me!" I cried, getting a bit hysterical.

Jasper grabbed my shoulders and shook me gently. "Relax Bella! I can't tell you how happy I am that you kept her! I was just surprised. I promise you I will protect her with my life from anything that tries to take her away from us!"

I raised an eyebrow at him, a bit shocked. "Us? I don't think there IS an 'us' anymore Jasper. From what I hear, you moved on with Alice. And I didn't come back to beg for help. I can take care of her myself. I understand if you don't want anything to do with us, I won't force her on you. I'm not expecting anything from you."

"Bella! Now you're the crazy one!" He said incredulously. "Of course I want to help! I swear to you Isabella Marie Swan that I will always be there for you and our child. It doesn't matter if we're together or not, I will always be in your life, if you want me there." He looked straight into my eyes for the first time and I could see the sincerity there.

I could feel the hot tears on my cheeks as I stared at him for the first time in a year. He hugged me gently and soothed me as I sobbed. "Oh Jasper. It's been so hard. I missed you so much." I choked out and he shushed me.

Finally, I pulled back and we smiled at each other. Just then, a furious Alice, an ecstatic Rosalie, and a very confused Edward and Emmett burst through the door. It seemed like they had been listening the whole time, but giving us some privacy.

Rose pushed past them and ran straight over to hug me, grinning from ear to ear. "Oh Bella! I can't believe I'm an aunt! This is fantastic! I'm so sorry Bella! I love you and I missed you so much but when I saw you I had to be mean! You broke his heart! But it was for a good reason and now I'm so happy!" She said all in one breath while still hugging me.

She released me and I smiled at her. "Congratulations, guys!" Emmett and Jasper said, looking shocked.

Then Alice came forward with her hands on her hips. She looked like she was super excited, but knew she should be mad, so she was trying to look mean. "Alright, after school you two go pick up Lia and bring her to our house and you can explain." She said.

"Sounds good. Now we should really go to class!" I replied. The others agreed, and we headed off to class.
