My eyes fluttered open, slowly but surely. "She's waking up." I heard Carlisle's voice say at my side. I parted my lips to say something, but could not work up the energy to do anything but lay there.

I felt different. Something was different, something about me. What had happened?

All I could do at that moment was stare at the whitened ceiling, waiting for an explanation. Though it had only been a moment since I mustered up the energy to open my eyes, it felt like centuries. It felt like centuries when Carlisle got up to go and retrieve Jasper, it felt like centuries when my love finally walked in. Though one moment was all that passed, it felt like centuries.

"Hello Darlin'." His southern accent seeping its way into his words. If I could have shivered I would have. I watched him as he sat on the edge of the bed, looking at me with worried eyes.

His voice was shaky and weak, his blonde curly hair messed up just the slightest bit, and purple lines had begun to form under his eyes. He looked stressed and vulnerable. And when Jasper looked vulnerable, you knew something was terribly wrong.

"You gave us quite a scare." I wanted so badly to tell him I was ok. I was ok if he stayed with me. That I no longer felt the pain. It was just a faint memory at that moment, and no longer mattered. "I know you can't talk, so please don't strain yourself to. Something happened out there, something…untold of. The ultrasound said something was inside you, Carlisle thought it was making a mistake, but when you were…unconscious, Carlisle did many more ultrasounds. But they all came up the same."

What does this mean? Had he been wrong about vampires not getting sick? "Carlisle believes your…ex-expecting." I took in a sharp breathe. My eyes closed involuntarily. "He's wrong Jasper." My whisper was barely audible. If it wasn't for our incredible hearing, Jasper would have never made out what I said.

He shook his head, "Alice, he has no other explanation he-" I cut him off reopening my eyes. My breathing was rapid. If my heart was beating, it would be drumming like a humming bird. "No, Jasper I am a vampire." I snapped, he looked at me shocked. I lifted my head the slightest bit to look him in the eyes. "Carlisle must be seeing things, or we must be jumping to conclusions. I mean, it might've been something I drank-" Suddenly Jasper stood up, obviously angered at my denial. He flipped the covers off of me exposing a tiny, but swollen stomach. It had hardened just the slightest, but enough to see.

The tiny bulge making the bottom of my stomach show the slightest beneath my shirt. I looked down unable to speak, think, or hear. Jasper was in every bit of shock as I was. "Carlisle…" His voice was so quiet, I had to strain my ears to be able to hear. "Carlisle!" He then yelled.

Suddenly, Carlisle burst into the door, almost breaking the metal door knob on his way in. "Carlisle, her-her stomach. Its gotten bigger!"

Bigger? How? I just found out that I even had a stomach, and he's telling me it got bigger?

"Jasper, go outside with the others. Send Edward in." Just then, pain shot down from my head, to my stomach. I screamed with anguish. My eyes closed, my hands crumbling up the sheets beneath me. I heard Carlisle's bellowing voice fill the room once more, "No! Jasper the best thing you can do for her right now is to get Edward in here! Go!" If I knew Jasper at all, he probably tried to rush to my side.

My horrible pain returned, evacuating all thoughts I had once had. I felt strong hands restraining me onto the bed, as I tried to cringe away from them. "Carlisle, her stomach." Edwards voice was frightened and panicked. What was wrong with my stomach? What is happening to me? I screamed as loud as possible in my head. "It's going to be ok Alice, it's ok. Shhh." That was the last I heard, that and my screams, before I dove into blackness itself. The inevitable pain ceasing. Once again I was at peace, in perfect bliss. Lying there in my so called, sleep. I thought, I'm going to have a baby, a baby, baby, baby… The word repeated itself over and over. And I swear I smiled in my unconscious blackness.
