chapter 6

Jaspers POV-

Alice was on the ground screeching in pain. I started to worry, what if she was right what if she was dying? It was imposable for a vampire to hurt this much, not unless they were dying. "We need to get her to Carlisle!" Edward ordered, picking her up. "Jasper? A little help?" He asked me. I nodded and tuck my hands under her knees. She was unconscious now. But that was worse. Then there would be more of a chance of her slipping away, without us noticing. Bella rand beside us, a pained look on her face. We were in the house in a matter of 5 seconds. "Carlisle!" I called as soon as we opened the door. We lay Alice on the couch delicately, trying not to disturb her. "What?" He walked in to the room casually, his expression calm. When he saw our faces he frowned. "It's Alice. She... she screamed in pain then fell to the ground unconscious." I explained anxiously. Carlisle's face grew into a worried expression. Suddenly he was frantic, speeding over to Alice in a rush. He felt her head. "She's... over heating!" He frowned. "This can't be good. Let me spend some time trying to figure this out. Go and do whatever!" He said his voice an octave higher. We did what we were told and walked out of the room. "She's going to be alright Jasper." Bella assured me. I looked at her, her eyes full of concern and sympathy. I nodded once. "I would like to think so." I muttered under my breath. I heard Bella sigh as she went to the cupboard. Jacob and Emmett walked in then. "What's wrong with Alice?" They asked in unison. I scrunched up my nose. "We don't know." I shrugged dismissively. Emmett's face wasn't the humorous picture it used to be, instead it was worried. The two new vampires, Caddie and Darrel walked into the kitchen. It was starting to get a little crowded. "We just need to wait and see if she'll be okay!" I murmured.

Emmett's POV-

I knew Jasper wasn't taking this well. And right now, I knew it wasn't the time to make silly jokes. Instead, I tried to distract him. "So the hunting trip was fun?" My attempt was poor but it seemed to work. Edward and Bella were in the corner discussing something; Caddie and Darrel were talking about arrangements for tonight, while me Jasper and Jake talked. "Yeah it sure was." He agreed with me after a few seconds. I turned to look at Jacob, and I tried to make my tone sound sarcastic, but I wasn't sure if it had worked. "It's a pity you're not a vampire, Jake, you missed all the fun." I punched him friendly on the shoulder. He chuckled and punched me back. "Naw, I'd rather be a werewolf." He played along, as Jasper wandered off. "Game of arm wrestling to see who's strongest?" I offered, a grin plastered on my face. Jacob grinned back. "It's on vamp!" He held up a hand to high five, I slapped it as hard as I could. "Bring it, dog!" I retorted. We made our way over to the garden, where there was a big rock. We took our seat and place our elbows on the rock. We grasped each other's hands and started pushing. We staid still for a long time, until I gradually pushed Jacobs's hands to the rock. He finally hit the rock. "YES! I win. In your face!"

Rosalie's POV-

I had just come down stairs to see what was happening, all I knew was that some-thing was wrong with Alice. "Bells, what's wrong?" I asked as I saw Bella sitting on the door step, she turned to face me, her face showing no emotion but pain, pure pain. "Oh, Rose. It's bad, really bad! She's been unconscious for 20 minutes." I could hear her voice break. I walked over and wrapped my arms tightly around her. "Shh! It's going to be okay. You'll see." I soothed her. She pulled at me, just to look into my eyes, searching for any trace of a lie. "Really?" She asked, unsure. I nodded, a sympathetic smile crossing my face. She returned it, but it was wrong. It didn't touch her eyes. "Bella, seriously, everything will be okay!" I reassured her. "Now let's say you and me go play a game of chess?" I suggested, trying to cheer her up. She nodded, as I headed for the stairs. We played it slowly, at human speed. Bella looked glum all the way through. I let her win though, as she wasn't too good at chess. "Bella, cheer up." I groaned, she was depressing me. She looked at me through blank eyes. "Aren't you worried?" She asked, in a flat voice, showing no emotion. "Yes, I am Bella, but I believe she is going to get better!" I told her, heaving my- self up from the seat. "I'm going for a walk, are you coming?" I asked her walking out the room; she followed as a way of saying "yes".

Edward's POV-

I was in the kitchen, talking to the new people. "So, why have you decided to live with us?" I asked conversationally, trying to distract myself from what was happened to Alice. "We decided to become vegetarians. And we had heard of you, so we decided to get in contact with Carlisle." They shrugged not really caring. "Cool. So you're both dating?" I asked curiously, cocking my head to the side. They smiled at each other, taking each other's hand. "More than that, we're married. Just like you and Bella." Darrel explained. I smiled at him politely, before I went to find Jasper. I knew he needed comforting. "Hey Jasper!" I greeted him when I found him in his bedroom, sitting on the sofa. His faced showed no emotion. "Hi!" His voice was glum. I went and took a seat next to him. "Carlisle will sort her out. Don't worry." I reassured him. He just nodded, flicking on his TV. The football appeared on the TV. But he never really paid attention. He hung his head in his hands. "Jasper, you know what we are going to do?" I looked at him with my eyebrows raised. He looked up to face me, a frown crossing his face. "What?" He asked, confused. I grinned at him; I knew he would love this. "We're going to have a race!" His eyes brightened at the thought, and he smiled. "Alright, where?" He agreed with me. I thought about that. I walked out of the room, and he followed. "We race to the meadow where we fought, circle it 10 times, and then come back. First one in the house wins." I smirked, his eyes brightened even more. We both walked out the house at human speed. "Okay we start from here!" Jasper said, standing beside the garage door. I walked over to stand beside him. "On your marks." I called. And waited for another 3 seconds. "Get set!" We both got into our starting positions. "GO!" I cried. We both started at an extraordinary speed. I was slightly behind. It didn't take us long to get around the race circuit. I made it back first, and Jasper soon followed. "Yes! I won!" I held my hands up in glory. I laughed at Jaspers disappointed expression.

Jacobs's POV-

I glowered at Emmett. I can't believe I lost against him. "Another go." I demanded. Emmett's laugh shook the rock, but he sat down again. "Whatever you like... dog!" He sneered the last word. We set our elbows down on the rock and grasped each other's hands in a tight lock. We started pushing, but at first nothing happened. We grunted loudly, at the toughness. Eventually I started losing, my hand starting to slowly creep down to the rock. It hit the ground with a loud thump. "You know, you really should challenge Bella for another game of that. You never know, you may be stronger than her now. Probably not though." I muttered, standing up and walking inside. I walked into the kitchen, and over to the fridge. I grabbed a cola and a packet of crisps. The two knew vampires were staring at me in interest. "What are you staring at?" I snarled, uncomfortable. They both shrugged and looked away. "Just that, we have never ever, in our whole life of being a vampire, a werewolf hanging out with a bunch of our kind." Caddie looked at me, cocking her head. I snorted, "Well you better get used to it, vamp. They are allot of us." At that moment in time, Quill, Embry and Seth came in. "Hey, Jake. Fancy going for a run?" They offered. I grinned at them. Since I had met Nessie, my life has been more joyful and fun, the only problem is, Nessie has a boyfriend. "I'd be glad to." I rolled my eyes, walking over to them. We all walked out the house. I started to shiver, from head to toe and soon I was flying through the air. I landed on four paws. I was in my werewolf form now. We bounded into the forest.

Bella's POV-

I was walking with Rose, as I heard footprints coming from behind us, they sounded very close. "Bella!" Emmett's voice cried out. I turned round. "What?" I asked him with a yawn. He smirked. "A game of arm wrestling?" He asked me smiling. I shook my head, I couldn't be bothered. "Aw, come on Bella. That means you won't know if you're still stronger than me!" He complained. I sighed, and looked at Rose. She nodded, in encouragement. "Go Bella, have a game of arm wrestling. Prove him that you're stronger." She laughed, I laughed with her but it had a hint of worry in it. "Alright! Let's go." I called; marching angrily down the path back to the house. Rose fallowed with Emmett. I walked into the back garden, taking my seat on a big bolder; Emmett took the seat opposite me. We both placed our elbows on the bolder grasping each other's hands in a clutch. We were like this for ages, and neither one of us would give up, panting and groaning. Rose, Edward and Jasper stood watching. Rose and Jasper betting on me, and unfaithful Edward betted on Emmett. I struggled as hard as I could, and eventually it paid off. Emmett seemed to start becoming week, and I slammed his arm onto the rock causing it to smash into pieces, everyone. "I'm still stronger than you Emmett." I stuck my tongue out at him, playfully. "Only just!" He murmured as Carlisle walked out. A weird look was on his face. We looked at him, waiting for the news on Alice. "Is she okay? What's wrong?" I and Jasper both said in unison. Carlisle shook his head in astonishment . We all looked at him confusion. "I don't know how this can be but... Alice... she's..." He paused, figuring away to say whatever he was going to say, "Pregnant!"
