All eyes snapped to the source of the voice in the room and then back to Bella's pale face. She looked like she'd seen a ghost.

"That's quite the accusation." Jasper stood slowly, sizing up the woman in front of them, "And you are?"

Her dark eyes lifted into a smile and she nodded, "My name is Jane. And it's no accusation. It's fact. Right, Bella darling?"

Bella just stared at her for a moment and seemed to shake her head of her stupor, "What are you doing here, Jane?"

Jane's blonde hair bobbed side to side momentarily before responding, "Well it's your birthday, Bella. Alec would be so upset if I didn't wish you a happy birthday."

Suddenly, realization dawned on the 5 other people at table. Alec was Bella's ex-boyfriend. Tragedy struck when they were in a terrible car accident 6 months ago and he never even made it to the hospital. Bella nearly lost her life that day, but by some grace of God, she survived.

Bella's head nodded curtly and she said, "Thank you. Now if you'll excuse me." She fled the table with Jasper hot on her heels, but not until he shot a deadly look in Jane's direction. Jane's eyes never left Bella's retreating form until she was completely out of view.

"It was lovely meeting you all. Enjoy your evening." Jane smirked and walked away.

"Bella, stop. Talk to me! What is going on?" Jasper finally caught up to her and grabbed her arm, spinning her to face him. He saw tears streaming down her face and he sighed, "It's alright, Darlin'.. I know you miss him but-.."

"Fuck him." She sobbed, "He was an asshole and got everything that was coming to him."

The confusion was evident on Jaspers face, he finally said, "Come with me. You need to clear a few things up for me." He took her hand, leading her to a private room and shutting the door.

Bella paced the room and ran her hands through her hair, "I did. I did kill him. Technically." She looked at Jaspers face and whispered, "I'm a murderer."

He held up his hands and hesitated, "Wait a minute... start from the beginning."

Bella dropped down onto a seat and put her head in her hands, "Remember when I came home back at Christmas time?"

(Flashback)

Brown eyes met his across the long table. She dropped her gaze with a coy smile and nodded to the person sitting beside her as their conversation continued.

His chest constricted and he felt a sense of peace that she was home again. It had been a long 6 months. Her job took her away for different periods of time. 6 months had been the longest by far, and now she was back.

Jasper watched her excuse herself from the table with a lingering glance in his direction before walking from the room towards the bathroom. He looked at his lap with a smirk and waited approximately thirty seconds before excusing himself from the table. He calmly walked to the bathroom and knocked quietly on the door.

The door opened a crack and a hand shot out, grabbed his shirt and pulled him inside. Lips flew to his as soon as the door was closed, his hands claiming her hips as he pulled her to him. Her slender fingers made quick work of the buckle of his belt, and she began to push his slacks to the floor.

"God, Bella, I've missed you.." Jasper groaned as she slipped away from his lips and knelt on the floor.

"I can tell..." she whispered with a smile, releasing his growing erection from the confines of his boxers. Once she took him into her mouth, Jasper threw his head back with a guttural moan and weaved his fingers in her hair.

She moved slowly at first, licking and nipping at the sensitive skin. Finally, she took him deeper and moaned when he began to guide her head at his desired pace. Her hands rested on his backside, pulling him into her. Finally when she thought he might burst, he pulled out of her mouth and lifted her up, seating her on the bathroom vanity, his hard length piercing at her beneath her skirt.

Bella gave him a small smirk and slid her hand down beneath the fabric and slowly pulled her panties to the side. He gritted his teeth and opened her wet folds before pushing into her fully. His ego boosted when he felt how tight she was and heard how she gasped in surprise.

"Perfect fit..." he grunted, "You were made for me.. watch our bodies as I fuck you. I want both of us to remember that sight." Bella let out a whimper as he began to piston into her body. She watched his length disappear and reappear from her body for several moments before looking into his eyes, "I need to cum, Jasper. It's been so long.."

His smile twisted into a grin and his thumb found her aching bud. That was all the push she needed as she cried out her orgasm. Jasper groaned and pushed into her once more, shooting his seed into her waiting body. His arms cradled her, planting kiss after kiss on her soft, kiss swollen lips. "I've missed you so much, so so much." He whispered.

A few weeks later..

"I have to go back to finish up this job, but I'm coming back. I'll officially be done there. I'm coming home.." Bella smiled sadly, caressing his cheeks before planting a light kiss to his lips.

"And you're staying then. No more long trips?"

She shook her head, "Never like this again."

Present Day

"When I went home, I finished up the job. I had met Alec, and don't get me wrong, he was sweet and he'd taken me out a few times. But there was absolutely no chemistry between us. I tried to enjoy his company in that way, but I couldn't.." Bella finished with a whisper, looking info Jasper's too handsome face.

"I'm confused. I thought he was your boyfriend? Why haven't you corrected anyone?" His brows furrowed.

Bella gave a heavy sigh, "I had been home for a little while and I started to get sick. Continuously sick. All day long... Alec drove me to the clinic one day to see a doctor."

(Flashback)

Congratulations! You're pregnant!"

Bella's eyes widened and she spared a glance at Alec. His eyes were downcast and his jaw ticked. She knew he'd be upset. He's been trying to start up a relationship with her for months now, and here she was, pregnant by another man.

When they were released from the doctors office, he led her to the car, always a few steps ahead of her. He opened the door for her and let her sit before shutting it and getting into the drivers seat.

His hands gripped the steering wheel tightly and he whispered, "I thought we could've had something."

"Alec— it's not-..."

"I can handle this. Stay here. Don't move back. I'll be a father to your child and I'll accept it. It'll be my child." He started the car and began driving, "We can act like this never happened and I can raise it like my own."

Bella stared at him in shock, "Alec, I can't do that. Jasper is my best friend. He deserves to know."

Alec's face twisted in anguish, "Oh Jasper. I should've known. I could tell you were hung up on him.."

Bella whispered, "I appreciate that you're willing to be in my life but Jasper is the father. I have to tell him." She looked out the window and a moment later, felt a sharp pain to the back of her head.

"You don't have to tell him shit!" Alec yelled, his demeanor changing, "I've tried for MONTHS to convince you that we are perfect for each other. MONTHS! And you run home and sleep with him??" Another hit to her head.

"Stop!" She cried, covering her face.

"I will not! If I can't have you, he can't have you either."

Bella curled her body, desperately trying to protect her body from his punches. When he seemed to have tired of it, she saw her moment. Her hand reached out and grabbed the wheel, pulling it sharply to the right.

"What are you doing?!" Alec shouted, trying to correct the vehicle, but it was too late. They hit the side of the road and the car began to flip.

Present Day

"The next thing I remember was waking up in the hospital. You were beside my bed." Bella whispered.

Jasper stared at her, a mixture of shock and anger, "Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you say anything? I've been calling him your boyfriend since you moved in with me. You should've told me to stop.." Suddenly realization hit and he pulled her to him, burying his face in her stomach, "And my baby..." he whispered.

Bella sniffled slightly, "I'm so sorry. The nurses said that the crash caused me to miscarry. And I didn't correct you, because..." she hesitated, bit her lip and whispered, "Alec died that day, because of me. Because I grabbed the wheel. I just wanted to protect my baby, he was hitting me so hard. I thought I should just leave it alone and let people think what they wanted."

Jasper's shoulders were tight with tension, his face still buried in her stomach. His hands gripped her dress tightly and worked it up her body, his face coming in contact with the bare skin above her panty line.

"I should've told you sooner..." She whispered.

His eyes finally opened and he looked up at her, not moving his face from her stomach. "It's my fault that this happened to you.. I did that to you. I should've been safe with you.." his lips trailed over her bare skin, causing her to tense and gasp.

"Jasper..." Bella whispered, running her fingers through his hair. His lips planted kiss after kiss along the bare skin where their child had been housed. His tongue dipped below her panty line, causing her to let out a low moan. Just when his fingers began to hook into the sides of her panties, a loud knock on the door caused them both to jump.

Bella stepped away quickly and fixed her dress. Her eyes searched Jasper's and he gave a sigh, opening the door.

Rosalie's beautiful face was the first that they saw, followed by Emmett, Edward, and Alice.

Rosalie walked in and took her friend into her arms, "I think you need to fill us in.." Bella looked to Jasper's face and sighed. The group sat and listened as Bella retold the horrible tale.
