Alice's POV
I felt Jasper's eyes on me so I turned around and saw that big goofy grin he has plastered on his face.
"What?" I asked.
"Are you happy?"
"What?" I repeated.
"Are-you-happy?" he repeated as if I hadn't understood him.
"Hmmm…as long as I have you, I'm happy." I got a gentle kiss in return noticing how he took care to mind how hard he kissed me or how hard his touch was. I scowled.
"What?" he asked in response to my scowl.
"Nothing"
"Mary Alice Brandon Whitlock Cullen!" He sounded angry.
"What!?" I said exasperated.
"Alice, I know that face, what's wrong baby," he paused. "Please tell me." He pouted, I couldn't resist.
"It just, all this"
I paused not sure how to express my frustration, my being afraid. About all the new changes, how he was willing to do anything to protect me. I had another life in me, it scared me, and it really, really scared me.
"I'm just used to you being a little more, I don't know Jasper, I … I –I'm scared." I broke down crying, and Jasper wrapped his arms around me, pulling me to him.
He comforted me telling me it was going to be ok. I had no idea how long I cried but when I pulled away I noticed that my face and Jasper's shirt was soaked. I had actually cried, cried actual tears! This fact brought on a whole new round of tears. Jazz just pulled me to him again and started to comfort me again, holding me. I fell asleep in my angel's arms. I woke up the next morning with Jasper's arms wrapped around me. I opened my eyes, and Jazz kissed me gently.
"Good morning, my Alice."
"Good morning, my angel."
"So, are you hungry?"
"Why?"
"Because, I got you breakfast."
"Uh, What kind of breakfast?"
"The human kind."
"Mmm…. So, what's for breakfast?"
"Why don't you go see."
"Ok, but only if you carry me."
"Ok"
Jasper carried me out of our room, and down the stairs and into the kitchen. He set me on a chair and set a plate of chocolate chip pancakes in front of me. He then proceeded to set 2 other plates and a fork in front of me, on the second plate their was strawberries, grapes, apples, mangos, oranges, and pineapples, on the other plate there was scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and hash browns.
"Jazz how do you expect me to eat all of this?" he laughed his big, hearty laugh
"I don't, I just thought you should have a variety of things to eat,"
"Oh, Jasper I love you, but who did you bully into making me breakfast?"
"Nobody, I bought it at a place in Port Angles." I gave him my 'yeah, right, sure you did' look and he added "ok, Bella went and got it for me, but I didn't do any thing to her, I swear!"
"Ok, just so long as Bella wasn't bullied, or intimidated, or insulted, or blackmailed." He didn't flinch when I mentioned any of them so I figured that there was nothing to worry about.
I dived into my pancakes then the strawberries, and surprised myself when I ate every thing but a few bites.
"See," I told Jasper when I was done " told you I wouldn't eat everything!"
He just chuckled.
See I was different than what people thought, I put up my tough girl exterior but I really wasn't. Jasper could see right through my tough girl exterior. See after what happened with the Volturi, Bella and Rosalie became, sort of best friends. Bella had been changed after mine. Edward, and her graduation, about three months ago. She and Edward had gone off hunting with the others, and then they were going to stay in the cabin we had built far in the forest. Edward was going to ask Bella to marry him there. Jasper's voice brought me back to reality.
"So, what does my Ali want to do today?"
"Talk to Carlisle"
"Uh…didn't we do that yesterday?"
"Yes, Jazz I need to run an idea by him. Ok"
"Oh, ok, let's go"
We walked upstairs to Carlisle's office, I knocked on the door, I didn't hear him say 'come in' but obviously Jasper did he opened the door and walked in me trailing behind him. Jasper said something so fast I couldn't catch it. I looked at him, confused. He smiled, "I spoke in normal vampire fastness, and you couldn't understand a word I said could you?"
"No" I said, sinking into a chair, I was shocked, how could a vampire not hear vampire speed speech.
"Ali , are you ok?" Jasper was kneeling in front of me. His eyes full of concern.
"Yeah, yeah, fine"
"Did you want to ask me some thing?"
"More like run an idea by you"
"Ok, let's hear it"
"What if we went to the hospital and you did an ultrasound on me, I mean it would prove if I was pregnant or not."
Carlisle thought for a moment, "I see no reason to not try it, I leave for the hospital in half an hour if you want to come along, I could have one of the nurses set up a room."
"Ok" I said pleased that my idea would at least be tested.
Carlisle had called ahead so that when he, Jasper, and I walked in Carlisle led us straight into a room on the 9th floor. The room had a bed and an ultrasound machine, and several other machines.
"Ok, Alice, get up on the table, and shirt up." At the last statement, Jasper growled. Carlisle laughed, "Sorry Jasper it must be done!"
I got up on the table, it crinkled slightly, and lied back pulling my shirt up slightly to show my stomach. Carlisle put on some gloves, and squirted some very cold gel on my stomach. I screeched.
"What?" Carlisle said jumping slightly.
"It's cold!!"
"Oooh"
Jasper just chuckled slightly. Carlisle put the sensor on my stomach. I looked on the screen and saw my baby.
"Well, Alice ,you are indeed pregnant, there's your babies." He pointed to two blobs inside another two blobs on the tiny screen.
"So, Alice is really pregnant then."
"Yes, jasper , I'm really pregnant." He had the biggest, most infectious grin on his face; I couldn't help smiling back at him.
"Alice," Carlisle caught my attention.
"Yes,"
"I'm going to take a few pictures and I'll let you know roughly, how far you are."
"Ok"
He took five pictures all different angles. He printed out six, he handed one to me and took the others out of the room saying, "I'll see you two at home, Alice no driving, and Jasper keep your speed under 90." Jasper's response to this was "sweet, I get to drive, hey under 90 come on Carlisle." I laughed; Jasper couldn't stand to go slow. The entire drive home Jazz drove at 89 miles an hour. I was looking at the picture of my babies; I was suddenly over come with a rush of love, and over protectiveness. A smile spread over my face, I loved these babies already.
We pulled into the drive way and jasper shut off the car, I kissed him.
"What was that for?"
"What, I can't kiss my husband, my sweet, wonderful, over protective adorable…" I trailed off smiling and crying like a mad woman. "Oooh, I love you." I suddenly cried, and kissed him. Our kisses became more passionate and Jasper suddenly broke off starting to say "Alice we..." I interrupted him "I know, I know, no sex or extreme make out sessions." He smiled.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
We got out and headed toward the house hand in hand, when he pulled me toward the woods suddenly. "Jazz, what are you doing?"
"I want to talk to you, about what you said last night."
"What did I say last night? Oooh, no, I don't sleep talk do I that would be so mortifying." Oh my god I could not sleep talk that would be horrible.
"No, Alice you don't sleep talk, don't you think I would I have already made fun of you for that already." He had a point, the second I woke up, the first thing out of his mouth would have been 'do you know you talk in your sleep, you said' whatever I had said but I obviously didn't sleep talk.
"You have a point, so what do you want to talk about?"
"Last night you said… you said you were scared, Alice, and don't lie, I saw it in your eyes, you were scared. I want to know what you're scared of Ali, I …I –I want to help you, your everything to me, EVERYTHING, Alice, I want to know what's going on, ok"
"Oh, Jazz , yes last night I was scared. I was scared of what was happening, I mean what if you suddenly wanted to go out and eat a steak, that's cooked Jasper, and what if Carlisle didn't have an answer for us, what if he did, but it wasn't one we liked or wanted, what if you hated me!" What if Jasper hadn't accepted me? I couldn't stand it, life WITHOUT my Jasper, my cute little Jasper. I started shaking, tears threatening to spill over my eyelids. Jasper went into action immediately, wrapping his arms around me, whispering something in vampire speed speech. This made me actually start crying and hard, my life was disappearing in front of my eyes. Jasper realizing that his speech was to fast for me to understand, and making me more upset, slowed it down, saying "Ali, I love you, I would never be mad at you for something that's not your control. And I could never ever hate you Alice, I LOVE YOU!" He hugged me a little tighter. "I LOVE YOU!!" He repeated. My sobs simmered down, damn pregnancy hormones!
"I love you, Jasper."
"I love you too"
I hugged him, he hugged back.
"So, was that what you were afraid of, me leaving you?"
I nodded lightly. I heard him laugh lightly.
"Alice, when I first met you I couldn't believe some one as beautiful as you would want some one like me. I was constantly afraid, and still am afraid that one day you'll come to your senses and you'll leave me, for some one else, but I don't feel like I have to attack every guy that looks at you, just the ones you look back at." I chuckled.
"Did you really think I would leave you?"
"Yes, what about you, my Ali, did you think I would leave you?"
"Yes!"
"In the car you were smiling, why were you smiling?"
"Because, I am the happiest and luckiest women in the world."
"Good, now let's go show Esme, her first grandchildren. Do you still have that picture?"
"Yes, of course! Let's go!"
We went into the house Esme came right up to us and hugged me lightly and told us Carlisle called explaining everything and that he said to tell me, I was at least two months, if not three months into my pregnancy and I would be pregnant for 7/8 months due to my height.
