Summary: Will she finally find Dr Right? Will he let his heart love again? Two children bring them what they always wanted. FAMILY.
They had just sat down to eat when she got the call from work. There had been a pile up and some children had been hurt. While getting Ed ready she called Sue to see if she could watch him, knowing her father wouldn't be there as he was the Chief of Police. "It's fine Bella. I'll be waiting." Thanking her she got them into the car but couldn't say no when Ed asked to take Dusty. She knew that leave the rest of the dogs would be ok but she asked Sue to go check on them for her if she wasn't going to make it home tonight.
After dropping Ed off she got to the hospital in no time. Rushing in she got her coat on and ran towards the ER. They were just bringing her first child in. It shocked her to see Edward there and terrified her but when she saw that it wasn't Rose she let out the breath she had been holding.
"Bella you take care of this little one you hear? I'll be back to see you soon ok Josh? Dr Bella is the best there is." Edward smiled at her before running off to help again.
"Hi Josh. Can you tell me where it hurts?" He pointed to his leg and left arm and his tummy. After putting her gloves on she checked his tummy first and found a deep gash that needed to stitched and fast. He was losing a lot of blood from just that cut. "Nurse please hold this here, thank you." She did a quick check of his arm and leg before cleaning his stomach and using the children's gel to numb the area. She only used the children's gel as it was faster acting in cases like this. Bella looked to make sure that nothing was torn on the inside before she began to stitch it up. After she had done that she would send him for an x-ray to make sure he didn't have any internal bleeding and a head scan as she had seen a bump there. The nurse was filling forms in and as Bella sent him off with the nurse for x-ray's she was already onto her next patient.
She worked through the night and was so tired she didn't hear Jasper come into her room as she sat down behind her desk. Her eyes were closed and he watched her for a second before clearing his throat. She jumped but smiled when she saw him.
"Hi. How are you feeling?" Jasper asked as he made his way around to her side and leaned on the desk in front of her. He took her hands in his and saw pain flash through her eyes.
"Ok I guess. Its just hard when I see what can happen when someone drinks. Did you see that little girl that may lose her leg?" He nodded while looking down when he looked up he looked pained.
"I just kept picturing my Katie in her place." Bella frowned and waited for him to explain. "I have a little girl called Katie. I don't see her but I talk to her all the time and she calls me when she wants to just talk. At the minute I'm trying to get custody of her." Bella smiled and nodded. "I know I should have told you about her but-"
"It's ok. We're still getting to know each other. I don't expect you to tell me everything in one go." He looked at her with his eyes flashing gratitude. "How about tomorrow if your free we have dinner at my place? You can get to know both me and Ed and when he's in bed we can spend some us time?" It was asked as a question. He nodded and leaned forward and kissed her forehead.
"Lets get you home. Sue rang but you weren't here so she asked for me." They were both confused as they hadn't told Sue or Charlie yet. "Anyway she said she checked on the dogs and that Ed was staying with them tonight and she'd see you in the morning when she brought him back. Dusty is with him." Bella chuckled at this and told him that Dusty was like his security blanket.
He helped her up and walked her out to his car. When she went to protest he just gave her this look and sighing she got in. he promised he'd bring her to fetch her car tomorrow. He held her hand in his when he didn't need to change gears all the way to her house. She went to get out but stopped and looked back at him.
"Would you stay? I mean I don't think I could be alone right now." He nodded with a warm smile and got out with her. He put his arm around her shoulders and they went into her house. As she got into her Pj's in the bathroom he took his clothes off apart from his boxes. He laid down in her bed and waited for her. He looked around her room and found he really liked it, dogs and all. They all seemed to be asleep apart from Lex but he was on his way. She walked in the room wearing a pear of striped bottoms and a Minnie mouse tank top.
Laying down next to him he pulled the covers over them and pulled her into his arms. His front to her back. Closing her eyes she let his warmth seep into her and held onto his arms. As she slowly drifted off she spoke.
"I think I'm falling in love with you."
"Me too Bella, me too." Jasper kissed her head before snuggling more into her back. It was like this that Sue found them before closing the door so they could rest a bit more, well after she had let the dogs out.
Waking up in Jasper's arms had been bliss. She'd smiled and couldn't keep the smile off her face when Alice and Rose had picked her up to go shopping. Ed had gone with Jasper to have a guy day. They'd been in nearly every store and had lots of bags including some new jewellery that Bella knew she would most likely only ever wear once. She hoped one day she would have a daughter to hand all her jewellery to.
"So Emmett said last week that he would let me pick the honeymoon but now he's saying he has already booked it and won't tell me where we're going." Bella knew that any minute now she was going to ask her to try and get it out of him.
"Well Edward never let me pick. Said that he wanted it to be a surprise. I sure as hell was. 2 weeks in London, wind rain and all the work he could do. There had been a police convention. He spend every night after the wedding night sleeping on the sofa." Alice nodded frowning. She wasn't going to let Emmett do that to her. They were going somewhere warm and she would do anything to get what she wanted. Even make his sister do her dirty work.
"Bella please."
"Sorry Alice but I'm not getting in the middle again. You know what happened last time. You ended spending your first valentines day watching baseball. Not this time sorry." She sighed before going to her own little world. One way or another she was getting her holiday in Hawaii.
"I think we should go get something to eat. This little one is growing hungry." Nodding they began to walk towards the food court. Bella was thinking about Jasper. Sure they'd just met but would he be the one for her? Or was he just using her until something better came along? She was hoping he wasn't and that he liked her for herself.
They ordered and went and sat down. Bella sighed when she put her bags down. They had been shopping for hours and she felt like her arms were going to drop off. It wasn't long after they began to eat that Rose's phone began to ring. "Hi baby what's wrong? Oh we're at the food court why? Ok bye. Edward's here with the guys, I hope you don't mind." They shook their heads and carried on eating. It wasn't long before they showed up. Jasper kissed her cheek before sitting down next to her.
They'd had their first date last night but not a real on. They had been having dinner at her house so he could get to know Ed a bit better. When they'd put him to bed they'd sat with a glass of wine, beer for him, and talked about themselves. He had told her all about his little girl and she'd told him a bit about Jacob. She knew that she had to tell him everything but she hadn't want to spoil the night so had asked that she tell him later. Ed was now eating the fries that Bella had given him off of her plate.
It was Alice who first saw the person coming towards them and gasped upon seeing who it was. Emmett took a hold of her hand before trying to work out was wrong with her. She was starting to look shifty. Following her line of sight he growled. He got up and was about to march over to them when Bella shot up and stood in front of him and placed her hands on his chest.
"No Emmett. Just leave it alone please. I don't think she's seen us…" As she said this her name was called out along with his. Turning slowly she saw her mother and Phil walking towards them. Emmett tried to move around her but Edward and Jasper were now stood next to him with their hands on his shoulder.
"Bella, Emmett its so good to see you. I was going to come and see you later. I was so grateful for the invite. I'm surprised you didn't tell me sooner Bella. We only spoke last week." Bella tensed when Emmett turned and glared at her.
"You speak to her? How could you? I bet you tell her everything don't you? I can't believe how stupid you are, after all she did. She wasn't even there for you when Jacob did that-" Bella's hand shot out and connected with his cheek as tears poured down her face. He'd gone to far. No one ever mentioned Jacob anymore. Alice and Rose moved towards her but she was backing up. Ed had gotten up and was holding onto her hand with worry on his face.
"I never told her anything. We don't even talk about you. Its always about her." She had picked up her bags and without a backwards glance she walked away with Ed. Emmett was still holding his cheek with shock written across his face. Jasper shook his head before running after Bella.
"You went to far Emmett." Alice said. She hugged him while placing her face on his chest and hiding her tears from him. She's never seen Bella cry because of Emmett no matter what he did. She always looked up to him. He was her hero. When she had calmed down she turned to Renée with coldness in her eyes. "You know very well that Bella wouldn't have told you anything about the wedding and it was me who sent the invite but now I see it was a mistake. You know she only speaks to you out of guilt? She's always blamed herself for you leaving. She thought that she could make you come back and that you'd forgive her for something she had nothing to do with." Emmett held onto Alice. He never knew that Bella blamed herself. "Let's get out of her guys."
They all nodded and after picking their things up walked towards where Bella had taken off. Renée huffed before putting her arm through Phil's and storming off.
"You had better sort this Emmett. Bella never meant to keep this from you. She just didn't want to hurt you. I only found out from Sue and Charlie. And that was because I was listening in when Bella told them. Just listen to her first before going off at her ok?" He nodded while looking down at his feet. He hated that he'd made her cry. He was the one who was meant to look after her and turn her frown to a smile. If he'd known that she had blamed herself all this time he'd have made better. Renée just didn't care about anyone but herself.
"Hay. It's ok. I'm sure he didn't mean it like it sounded. He was just shocked was all." Bella nodded into his shirt but it didn't help stop the tears. Sighing he pulled her closer. "How about we go back to your and watch a movie? Just you, me and Ed?" Pulling away from him she gave him a watery smile and nodded.
After he court up with her near his car, he'd put Ed in the back with his bear while he held Bella. As he went to open the car door he saw them walking towards them. He didn't know if Bella would run so he put his arm around her. She saw them and froze. Bella was thankful that Jasper was holding onto her. She already felt her knees turning to jelly. Emmett was the first to move forward. He reached for her and Jasper slowly let her go as her bother took her into his arms.
They both started to cry onto each other. "I'm so sorry Bells…please forgive me…" She didn't know what to say but then again she couldn't seem to get any words out so she held him tighter.
The others stood off to the side trying not to listen as Emmett apologised. But it was the first time that he'd had to say sorry to Bella.
Emmett looked around himself and sighed. He was here for one reason only and that was to tell her what he thought of her. He also had something to give her. Alice was the only one apart from Jasper, who was sat next to him, that knew he was here. He knew that if Bella or even Rose they'd have tried to talk him out of it.
"Emmett." Looking at Jasper he turned again when he nodded his head towards the door way. There stood Renée and Phil. Taking a deep breath he walked towards them.
"Emmett. I hope you're here to-" Emmett held up his hand to stop her. Jasper stood next to him. He was hoping he didn't have to patch anyone up after this meeting.
"I came to tell you that I don't want you at my wedding." She went to protest as did Phil but Emmett carried on. "I also don't want you to contact Bella again. I think this will have you agreeing." Jasper frowned when he handed over the big envelope. "I'm sure you wouldn't want Bella to find out it was you who set that all up." Nodding he walked passed them. Jasper nodded his head at them before following.
"Emmett what were you talking about back there? And what will Bella not want to know?" He asked as they drove onto the high way back to Forks.
"You know Jacob Black?"
"Yeah the guy in prison for killing his unborn baby and nearly killing his girlfriend…you don't mean?" Emmett nodded. "But wait what that's got to do with Renée?"
"She was the one feeding him all these lies. Bella wasn't at the court hearing as she wasn't up to it. It turned out that Renée had been telling him that Bella was cheating on him and that the baby wasn't his. I'd tell you more but…"
"I understand. Bella will tell me if she wants to him her own time. But I don't think you should keep this from her. Renée may one day tell her." Emmett shook his head.
"Don't worry. Bella knows some of it but not all of it. She knew that he was getting calls from someone as he let it slip but she doesn't know who. Renée wouldn't want to tell Bella. She was never one to tell the truth." Jasper still didn't agree but knew that Bella didn't need to hate her mother anymore then she already did. It would most likely kill her to hear that it was Renée. "If she ever asked then I would tell her. But until then…"

He handed her a box alone with a red and white rose. She gasped as she took it into her hands with a smiled. "This is our first Valentine's day together. And hopefully one of many. I…don't know how to say this. I fallen more and more in love with you Bella Swan." Happy tears were trailing down her face. He reached up his hand and using his thrum wiped them away.
"I love you to Jasper Whitlock. So much." They went into each other's arms as their lips came together. They only broke apart when his door bell rang. Frowning he pulled away. Bella went with him as he didn't want to let go of her hand. Opening the door he was shocked.
"Katie…"
