AH
Not for Edward lovers. Bella and Edward are engaged to be married. What happens when a young woman shows up at there apartment? And what is it she tells Bella that changes everything.
Jaspers POV
From the moment I had gotten in my car and pulled out of the parking lot I was tense. The last time I left her alone she had almost died and lost our baby too. I spent the whole day worrying about her. My boss, who is actually my father, asked me what was wrong. I hadn't told him I had gotten a girl pregnant yet. Just as Bella hadn't told her parents the news. So I played it off as nothing.
I walked into the house. I didn't hear any noise. I glanced around the in to the kitchen and the living room. I didn't see Bella. Maybe she was still out shopping or something. I sighed.
"Bella." I called out for her. It was silent a moment.
"In the bedroom." She called out, her voice was soft and seductive. I walked toward the bedroom and saw her laying back on the bed wearing practically nothing. I groaned and moved towards. I climbed on top of her being sure not to put any weight on her.
"Bella baby do you know what this outfit your in makes me wanna do to you?" I whispered as I pressed my lips to hers. She smiled against my lips.
"No Jazz I don't." She said innocently. "Why don't you show me?"
"Mmm gladly." I whispered.
Bellas POV
Jasper started kissing me. He was gently. He pulled away to strip down to his boxers. He gently covered my body in kisses paying special attention to my stomach as he pulled what little bit of clothing I wore off. He moved on top of me and gently slid into me. This wasn't just sex. Jasper was being gentle and easy. This nothing like what happened that night at the hotel. We were making love. Afterwords we both fell asleep.
We woke about an hour later, around eight thirty. My stomach growled loudly. Jasper laughed and he leaned over and kissed me softly.
"Sounds like someone is hungry." He said to me.
"Mhmm extremely. I haven't eaten since breakfast." I told him. He frowned.
"Well lets get dressed the and we will go out and get something." He told me. I nodded. We both dressed quickly and he pulled me over to him. I passed by the mirror on the wall and paused. I was only six weeks along. I wondered what I would look like when I was further along and actually showing. Jasper stepped up behind me and gently placed his arms around me.
"What are you thinking about baby?" He asked me as he kissed the top of my head.
"What I will look like in a few months." I told him. Jasper smiled.
"Why you will look beautiful of course. Maybe more so than you already do." He told me softly. I blushed bright red. "Okay lets go get some food."
"Mm. Sounds good." I told him.
We had decided on I-hop. Yes I-hop at nine at night. But I wanted pancakes. We ate not really talking about much just enjoying being with each other. I noticed the waitress eyeing Jasper. I had moved myself closer and when she walked by I looked up at him.
"So Jazz." I said and smiled at him. "What do you want our baby to be? A boy or a girl?" I watched as the waitresses face fell. Jasper must have known exactly what I was doing because he placed a hand on my stomach.
"I want our baby to be whatever it is. Just as long as he or she is healthy." He said softly. When we left the restaurant we were half-way home when a powerful wave nausea hit me.
"Jazz I'm gonna be sick." I told him. He pulled over quickly. He ran to my side of the car before I had a chance to open the door. He had open and was helping me out of the car. He pulled my hair out of my face just in time for me throw up everything I had just eaten. He gently rubbed my back with his free hand. We stood there a few more minutes, just to be sure I wasn't going to be sick again. When I nodded Jasper helped me back into the car. When we got home Jazz helped me out of the car and into the house. I stepped into the bathroom to brush my teeth and Jasper obviously worrying stood there with me. I went into the bedroom and he veered of towards the kitchen. I changed quickly and when Jasper stepped in he had a glass of water in his hand. He handed it to me and I thanked him. I took a long drank and sat on my side table before crawling onto the bed. He crawled next to me.
"I have a doctors appointment tomorrow." I told him. "Do you... want to go with me?" He smiled.
"Of course I want to go with you." He said and smiled at me. "I think we both need to tell our parents soon." I nodded nervously at him. He kissed the top of my head. "Its going to be fine baby." I smiled at him, hoping he was right.
The next day at the doctors appointment, we were told everything was perfectly fine the baby was devolping right and everything. My doctor perscribed me something for the throwing up and then some prenatal vitamins. After the doctors appoint Jasper asked if I wanted to tell his dad today. I nodded. So know we were on the way to Jaspers families law firm. Jasper parked the car and immediately rushed over to help me out of the car. I smiled at him. He wrapped his arm around me as we walked in to the building. Several eyes glanced our way. We took the elevator to the top floor. Jasper looked as his dad's secreatary when we got there.
"Is he with a client?" He asked her and she shook her head.
"No gone on back. Your mother is in there though Mr. Hale." She told him. Jasper nodded. He led me into his dads office. His parents eyes both looked up at us as we stepped in. Jasper's father raised an eyebrow.
"So this must be the girl Rose dislikes so much. Though I don't see why. But I can't judge a book by its cover." He said amused. "Why she doesn't seem that plain to me, Rose was terrible to say such a thing. She seems so innocent Jasper." Jasper smiled and gently rubbed my back.
"Hmm I agree with your father on this one Jasper. I must say I have spoiled Rosalie to much." She said shaking her head. "But not matter how much we have given to Jasper he has stayed a perfect gentleman. I have never see Jasper pitch a fit for anything not even when he was little."
"Mom, Dad this is Bella." Jasper told them. "Rosalie doesn't like for her own personal reasons. Though Rose use to be her best friend but she went and did something that screwed that up." I could tell Jasper was holding back what he really wanted to say.
"Well what did she do?" Jasper's mom asked causing me to flinch. I could tell Jasper was getting angry. I gently leaned against him in an attempt to calm him.
"Excuse me for this mother, she turned into a bitch, a slut, and a backstabber. How?" Jasper explained. "Lets just say Bella use to be engaged and your daughter had been one of the girls he was sleeping with for the longest time. Damn mom, Bella trusted Rose so much that when a woman showed up at her and Edwards door with a baby saying that it was his, Rosalie was the one she called to come and get her." I knew he didn't want or need me upset. I wasn't going to get upset. I just leaned against him. I knew the pain of the betrayal was on my face. His mothers eyes widened.
"But that isn't your purpose to be here is it son?" His father asked. "To tell us what a terrible sister you have." Jasper sighed.
"No its not." Jasper said. "We are here because I thought you should meet Bella before I told you she was pregnant with my baby." Jasper pulled me into his arms and I buried my face there, not wanting to see there reactions. The room was silent.
"Oh my son." Jasper's mother spoke. "I'm gonna be a grandmother! Wait! I'm to old to be a grandmother. But a baby..."
"I'm happy for you son." His father spoke happily. "If thats what you want. Why don't you two have a seat and we can catch up." Jasper scooped me up into his arms and I blushed brightly. We sat in the arm chair infront of Mr. Hale's desk.
"So what has been going on? How far a long are you? Why didn't you tell us before now?" Mr. Hale asked in true lawyer fashion.
"Well Dad shes about a month and a half along." Jasper told him. "Why didn't we tell you before now? Because we have been a little busy. We didn't even know until Rosalie beat the shit out of her, nearly fucking killing her, and she was in a coma for a month. And then her fucking ex decided he wants her back, trys to make her think he gave her an abortion by sticking a needle full of liquid into her stomach. Then he planned to rape her and try to get her think that the baby was his so she would stay with him. It didn't work to well because I sorta of interfered by going home for lunch. She was out for a few more days. Then when she was released from the hospital which was like a two days ago we were trying to make sure she was relaxed and comfortable. So finally we have found the time out of our overly busy dramatic life to tell you." His parents looked appalled. I didn't realize I was crying until I heard Jasper's soft cooing in my ear and he was wiping my tears away.
"Oh wow Jasper." Mr. Hale spoke. "I mean everything is going okay now right?" Jasper nodded.
"Edwards in prison already. The court decided to put him through as soon as possible because they didn't need a psycho like him running the streets." Jasper told him. "So everything will be okay now. I hope, unless my sister pulls some stupid shit."
"I wasn't completely wrong when I said that Bella here was innocent." Mr. Hale spoke. "Shes vulnerable. Jasper you take good care of her. Did you get her a credit card to our accounts yet? Does she have a car?" Jasper laughed. Meanwhile I was shocked.
"I knew this would happen." Jasper told them shaking his head. "Yes she has a credit card for accounts and yes I have gotten her a car." Jasper was gently petting my hair.
"Welcome to the family." Mr. Hale spoke kindly. "Call me Daniel dear. Call my wife her Susan." I nodded. I yawned loudly.
"I better be getting her back to the house." Jasper told them as stood up with my in his arms.
"I can walk you know." I told him sleepily.
"Yeah I know." Jasper said as we made our way to the door,"BUt I like carrying you besides what better way to make sure you don't trip down two flights of stairs and out a window." He smiled and I let my eyes fall shut. I heard his parents congratulating him and then I let sleep take over.
When I woke I was in my and Jasper's bedroom. Jasper was laying beside me and he was staring at me. I smiled. He leaned over and kissed me softly.
"Bella. I hope this isn't to forward or to soon." He said gently. "I love you." I stared at him trying to process what I had just been told. I stared at him not knowing what to say. I couldn't say it back. It was too soon for me. I mean it hadn't been that long ago that the man I had thought I was in love with had betrayed and hurt me deeply. I knew that this was Jasper and he was different. But I was scared, I didn't want to get hurt again. I couldn't afford to get hurt again. But I didn't want to hurt him. I couldn't say anything. I didn't know what to say. I was in complete shock. "Bella. I'm sorry." His voice sounded so hurt. Which for me it only made things worse. I couldn't open my mouth to day anything. He looked at me concerned. "Bella..." I didn't move or speak. "Bella say something, do something. Your scaring me baby." I didn't know how to act. So I gently kissed his cheek. I stood up and walked in to the bathroom. I shut and locked the door. I slid to the floor and I sobbed.
Jaspers POV
Saddness over swept me as she gently kissed my cheek and walked into the bathroom, shutting the door behind her. A few tears ran down my face. I walked into the living room and picked up my phone. I dialed the only number I could think of. Alice.
"Hello Jasper,"Alice said as she answered the phone."What do you need?"
"I told Bella that I love her." I told Alice. "But...She didn't say anything. She looked hurt and scared. She didn't even move for several minutes. When she did Alice she kissed my cheek and went into the bathroom. Alice, I don't know what to do."
"I'm sure it will be okay Jasper." Alice told me. "I know that shes afraid of being hurt again Jasper. She needs time. She needs time to heal after what he did Jasper. Just give her sometime. Look I have a meeting with some people in a few minutes. I got to go Jasper. I love you." I smiled slightly knowing Alice was right.
"I love you too Ali." I replied. "Bye." We both hung up. I turned to see a very hurt looking Bella standing there. How long had she been standing there? I was betting only for the I love you part. I stood up from the couch and moved towards her but she turned away from me. I quickened my pace and wrapped my arms around her."Whats wrong baby? Please tell me." Then she slapped me. I flinched but I didn't let go of her.
"I love you too Ali." She mimicked and I knew what that sounded like to her. I frowned.
"Bella sweetie that is not what it sounds like." I told her and tried to continue when she cut me off.
"Really. With that smile on your face and you saying I love you Ali. You haven't called her Ali since you two were dating." She snapped at me. I pulled her to me.
"Baby," I whispered. "I called Alice because I was upset and I wanted advice. I told you that I love you and you walked away from me. I called Alice because I wanted to know what was going on what I had done wrong. I was smiling like that because she told me everything was alright and I just needed to give you time. And calling her Ali felt strange as hell." Tears streamed down her face and she jerked roughly away from causing her to stumble. I caught her immediately. I pulled her to me as she let out a strangled sob.
"Shhh. Shhh." I whispered gently. "Its okay baby."
"No No its not." She said angrily. "I don't deserve you. I'm broken, Jazz. I'm so paranoid and I can't even help it. I think every little thing is wrong. I hurt you today. I'm a terrible person. I really don't deserve you." It was my turn to be angry.
"Thats fucking stupid." I growled. "IF your broken thats fine I'll fix you. If your paranoid, I can deal with that. Its understandable because in the past month you have been to hell and back again. Yes I won't deny that you hurt me today when I told you that I love you and you didn't say it back. But I'll live baby cause I know you need time, I know that Edward hurt you and that you need time." I scooped her into my arms and carried her sobbing form into our bedroom. I lay her on the bed and lay down with her. I cuddled her close to me.
"I do love you." She whispered. "I'm just scared."
