Oh god, oh god, oh god, Was all I thought, I panicked, almost hyperventalating. Then I straightened out, and remembered Alice went to the bathroom. So I ran to the bathroom and smashed the door open, Alice was holding the side of the sink, but she was luckily alone, she didn't have an audience. I dropped the bags and went to her side, her mascara had run, she'd been crying,
"Alice, what's wrong?" I asked her
"Bella, it's too early, the baby's not ready," She choked out, before overflowing with tears again,
"OK, I'll call Jasper," I suggested, she nodded quickly, she looked back at her stomach, rubbing it slowly and smoothy again.
I dialled Jasper's cell number, and paced around the bathroom waiting for him to answer,
"Hello?" Finally.
"Jasper, it's Bella,"
"Oh, hi Bella, what can I do for you?"
"It's not me that wants you, it's Alice,"
"What? Why, what's going on?"
"Alice has gone into labor, Jazz"
"WHAT!? LABOR! BUT IT'S TOO EARLY!"
"That's what Alice keeps saying" I joked, not expecting him to laugh.
"OK, um, where are you both?"
"At the mall, in the women's bathroom,"
"OK, please, tell her I'm on my way and that I love her so, so much"
"I will Jasper" I said, but he'd already hung up,
I heard Alice suddenly groan, she was having contractions. I went to her side, and she began crying again on my shoulder. Suddenly, a woman and her daughter walked in, and the woman gasped with shock whenshe saw us,
"Um, is she OK?" She asked, holding her daughter's hand
"Her waters have just broken, we're waiting for her husband to come before we take her to the hospital"
"Shouldn't you call an ambulance?" She asked again, her daughter was becoming restless and pulling on her arm
"She didn't want me to" I explained, looking at Alice, who was breathing heavily trying to relieve the pain,
"Shall I go get somebody?" She asked,
"No, her husband will be here soon," I said
"OK, um, good luck" She said, Alice and I both smiled, and the woman left,
I helped Alice though her contractions, and I tried distracting her from the pain by asking about names she and Jasper thought up, but it never seemed to work.

Drinking with Emmett and Edward was always the same, we'd all get so pissed we wouldn't be able to speak, but the day I found out I was going to be a dad, those days were over. Sure, I never stopped them from drinking themselves silly, I was just there to walk them home. But luckily, we'd only just arrived at the bar, so they were still sober. But as usual, Emmett was the child of the three of us,
"Come on, I bet you can't drink that beer in one go, Ed" Emmett said to Edward, who was slowly sipping his drink like me. What was it with Emmett and gambling?
"Emmett, for the last time, no" Edward replied, with a sour edge to his voice, then he turned on me
"Jasper," He said, I glared at him
"You know my answer, Emm," I said, he pouted
"Jazz, one time won't hurt will it?" He begged,
"Emmett, in a month or so, I'm going to be a father, I'm not going to get myself drunk, and go home and probably-" I shivered at what I was going to say, I didn't want to say it.
"What?" Emmett asked, who was now also sipping his drink
"Nothing, it doesn't matter," I said, having another drink of my beer
"OK..." Emmett said, going back to his drink again. There was a peaceful silence for about five seconds before Emmett broke it "Fruit Machine!" He bellowed, slamming his drink down and running towards it, both Edward and I rolled our eyes at him. At least I was left with a mature person to talk to,
"So, have you thought of any names for the baby yet, Jazz?" Edward asked, I grinned when he said 'baby'
"Well, Alice wrote a list for me the other day," I replied, hiding my giddiness
"And,"
"For a girl, it was Maddie, Carla or Leah and for a boy, it was Jackson, Adam or Harrison" I said, smiling when I said everyone of them,
"Oooh, I like Maddie for a girl, and Jackson for a boy" Edward said, I laughed "what?"
"Nothing, I loved the name Maddie, Alice is certain she'll have a girl"
"Oh, OK" He laughed.
Emmett suddenly came back like a moody child, Edward and I bit our lips to stop us from laughing. He sat down and said nothing, he just took a big gulp of beer. Suddenly, my phone rang, the caller ID said it was Bella. Why was Bella calling me? Unless something had happened to Alice,
"Hello?"
"Jasper, it's Bella,"
"Oh, Hi Bella, what can I do fo you?" I asked, Edward's eyes lit up when I said Bella, he mouthed something I chose to ignore
"It's not me that wants you, it's Alice" Uh-oh, my heart starting pounding so hard it hurt me,
"What? Why whats going on?"
"Alice has gone into Labor Jazz" Labor? No, it's too early, the baby won't be ready yet!
"WHAT!? LABOR," Edward and Emmett both spat out their beer they'd just drunk "BUT ITS TOO EARLY!" I shouted,
"That's what Alice keeps saying" She laughed, my wife was in labor and she was laughing!
"OK, um, where are you both?" I panted, I was so scared for her, for the baby
"At the mall, in the women's bathroom" I looked at Edward and Emmett, who were obviously trying to listen in,
"OK, please, tell her I'm on my way and that I love her so, so much" I said, grabbing my coat and standing up, Edward and Emmett followed, but Emmett took one large gulp of his beer.
I put the phone in my pocket, and ran to the parking lot, not bothering to wait for Edward and Emmett, they could walk for all I cared, I just wanted to be with Alice. They caught up and tapped with window, I let them in, and I sped away.
"Easy Jazz" Emmett complained, I completely ignored him, he muttered something that I couldn't understand. I just concentrated on the road.
We drove straight past the hospital, I laughed at the confusion on their faces,
"Um, Jasper, the hospitals there" Edward said,
"Their at the mall" I said, my eyes not leaving the road
"That's a bit public isn't it?" Edward asked
"In the women's bathroom" I added
"Oh" Edward whispered, he went back to looking out the window as Emmett did.
We eventually arrived at the mall, Edward offered to park the car and ordered me to go to Alice. I ran through the mall, ignoring all the scolds and comments I got from the shoppers. I came to the bathroom's, and ran towards the women's one, when a hard grip stopped me,
"Excuse me sir, did you know you were going into the women's bathroom?" It was a security guard
"Um, yes I did" I replied, feeling like a complete idiot and regreting my answer
"Well, can I ask why your going in?" He asked,
"My wife, her waters have broken in there and-" He stopped me,
"Your wife? Have they called an ambulance yet?" He asked, I shrugged, "well, you go on in, I'll have someone call on" He said, I smiled at him and ran in
Bella was stroking Alice's hair, and Alice was sweating and groaning, probably her contractions.
"Alice," I said, she looked up and smiled weakly
"Jas-" She screamed, I ran to her side and grabbed her hand.
Her mascara had run from the sweat, and her usual spikey hair was flat. She looked at me, I saw fear in her eyes, her tear filled eyes. It was enough to break your heart
"Jasper, it's too early" She whispered, I stroked her hair as she began crying, I fet like crying along with her, but I knew I had to be brave for her,
"I know, but everythings going to be fine, I promise" I said, she smiled but it faded as another contraction hit.
The security guard came in, all three of us looked up at him,
"The paramedics have arrived," He said. They've arrived already? Wow.
"Thank-you" I said,
"Hey, just doing my job" He said, What, and catching theives isn't? I thought.
A paramedic and our midwife, Scarlett, came in, relief flushed my body.
"Alice, how are you doing?" Scarlett asked,
"Not good," She replied "it's agony" She added, Scarlett laughed, and Alice gave out a weak laugh
"Well that's going to be expected, Alice, I'll just check how dialated you are" She said, there was a long pause "she's 6cm," She annouced, was that a good thing?
"Can we go to the hospital?" I asked, Alice gripping my hand hard
"Of course, I'll organise a strecher" She said, Alice sighed with relief, I was glad we wouldn't have our baby in the mall bathrooms, at least we'll be in a clean hospital.
Scarlett eventually came back with the paramedic who was pushing a strecher. Bella and I helped Alice onto it, where she looked more relaxed than she was on the cold tiled floor. I walked aside helping to push the strecher as it made its way through the mall towards the exit, ignoring the audience that had gathered. We got in the ambulance and it immediatly set off to the hospital. Bella was in too, Alice didn't want her to leave. Scarlett checked Alice again, as her contractions were getting closer and closer together. She was now 8cm, and she panicked that she would hve to give birth in a moving ambulance, but Scarlett assured us that we would be at the hospital in less that 5 minutes, but she forgot to count the traffic cue we came across...
Another cliff hanger... will Alice have to give birth in an ambulance? Not telling! ^_^
