Chapter 8 everyone! Well lots more is going to happened! So Bella thinks she's pregnant and now everything gets set in motion! Hope ya'll enjoy!
SkylerBlack: UGH! Me too! I'm all for Bella having a girl but enough with the Nessie nonsense! Don't worry too much it'll be a surprise but trust that the names will definitely not match up to the book.
Amberosia1: I'm going to try to stay close to reality with vampire pregnancies, thanks for the timeline.
Krystal214: I just had to have Emmett marry them! Some comic relief lol, yes I move kind of fast with them getting married and with the bun in the oven, I've read the book and seen the movies except for the 4th one. I'm glad you like the story so far. As far as Edward and Alice are concerned you'll just have to see how that plays out.
Beautiful-Liar13: ;) Don't worry too much I think you'll like the outcome!
TrueSkye: So happy you enjoyed Bella and Jasper getting sexed up! Jasper knows Bella's taste is simple and enjoys it. Oh just wait for Edward and Alice :D
TwilightAddict71484: Lol what an idea! My only concern is Bella actually being able to carry 4 babies! If I decide to stay true to the book, Bella would have to be turned after she gives birth. Hmmm but that's debatable you'll just have to stay tuned!
JXB Addicted: Oh just wait! I hope it's up to your expectations
Soulsistersinaslan: I'm so glad you liked it! I knew I had to stay true to Jasper and Bella's characters and the Major demanded nothing less than the best Who am I to argue? But yes Jasper is more than a fierce protector and a pretty face. Trouble is definitely on the way
Twimama77: Thanks!
Kouga's older woman: It's on the way.
AbbeNormal: You have no idea how wonderfully happy you made me with you review, Thank you so much for that inspiration. It's very hard to stand out, and I honestly didn't think my writing was the best, at least enough to be a professional, but if you would like to know I'm actually playing with an Orginal story with my own characters. To read the wonderful things you thought about my little fanfiction was just so touching! I'm so glad you voted as well! I've got a pretty good idea where I'll take the Volturi angle and I hope everyone likes it. That's a very lovely tradition for your family, it's definitely a thought! Thank you so much!
Jasper instantly shifted, his body language screaming protect. Bella was instantly pulled into his arms.
Family, protect family, mate…Bella…Baby...Major growled and clawed at Jasper to be free his instinct to protect his mate growing stronger.
Bella found herself in the center of their bed with Jasper holding her against his chest, carefully looking over her body, his hand paying special attention to her stomach.
"It's still early to tell, remember what Peter said? Vampire pregnancy are a lot faster than normal human ones, according to that woman hers was just under two months, but the first was a slightly shorter…I think it depends on baby." Jasper had regained control and was talking, explaining to keep from going completely animalistic with Bella. Her brushing her hands along his skin and through his hair helped.
"Well we should call Carlisle, ask them to come over and stay with us so he can take care of me-" Major cut her off with a soft sharp growl, Jasper shook his head.
"Hey Cowboy, you're my mate, you're my protector, my husband, and the father of my baby." She took his face in her hands forcing him to look at her. "Carlisle is just making sure I'm okay, making sure the baby will be okay." Jasper nodded his head Bella was his saving grace, keeping him in check and grounded.
"Sorry Darlin' Major likes to run away with me sometimes," He grinned and she kissed his cheek.
"How 'bout I grab a bite while you-" A sudden knock on the door and Rosalie and Emmett calling them from downstairs interrupted them.
"Jasper? Bella?" Emmett's loud voice echoed through the house.
"Coming Em," Bella called down and walked out of their bedroom, Jasper right behind her.
"What's up man?" Jasper sat Bella down on the couch while he fixed her a snack; Rose went and sat down with her.
"Edward and Alice are on their way back now. Carlisle and Esme have gone to talk to them but they don't know if they can hold them off enough to explain everything before they get here." Jasper exhaled and gave Bella the sandwich he'd made for her. She took a small bite; Edward and Alice were coming back? Suddenly she wasn't feeling very well anymore.
"Jazz…" She looked up at him with worry in her eyes, and instantly Major growled, Edward and Alice would only add stress for Bella and that was endangering her. Something he would not allow.
"Rose stay with Bella, me and Em will go join Esme and Carlisle." Bella almost choked on her sandwich.
"No Jasper, stay. We can work this out without you having to fight with them. I don't want it." Jasper exhaled and cursed that she could ask him to bring her the stars and he would find a way to do it.
"You don't have to fight with Jasper, Carlisle called, they're already here. At the main house, but they're ETA is in a few minutes." Emmett shoved his phone back into his pocket. Bella sighed and finished off the sandwich placing a hand on her stomach…Peter wasn't kidding when they said it would a fairly quick pregnancy.
"Bella?" Rose's voice was laced with worry and she touched her arm gently.
"I'm fine Rose, just want to sit here and wait for them to get here so we can clear the air." As if on cue there was a knock on the door and Carlisle poked his head in.
"Jasper Bella, it's time." Jasper was up and at the door, keeping himself reined in but on guard with his former sibling and ex-wife entering his home.
It only took one breathe of air that Edward could smell Bella all over Jasper, and a completely new scent coming from Bella, something mixed with her own particular scent.
The next couple of hours were spent with a surprisingly calm Edward and Alice; well at least up until they found out Bella was pregnant. It was actually an announcement for the whole family.
"Do you understand how dangerous that is for? I thought you cared about her Jasper." Edward wasn't shouting but the low vicious tone in his voice said it all.
Mind reader…kill. Threaten me, Bella…mate. Major was ringing in his head, buzzing his mind
"Edward, listen to me, carefully. I'm controlling myself, not to leap across this living room to rip you apart limb from limb, you will not tell me I don't care about My Mate. I gave her every choice every possible outcome, I know it's dangerous; I'm overly cautious as it is, but unlike you, I will protect my wife and support the choices she makes. We're partners in this." Bella couldn't have been more in love and proud of Jasper. The push over was gone, and she was surprised Alice had stayed so quiet through this. Edward remained seated simply glaring at Jasper. Alice touched his arm and nuzzled up against him.
"Please Edward, we didn't come to fight, don't ruin this, please." She was unnaturally soft and not pushing her will.
"Now look boys, while you talk this out, I'm going upstairs with Rose and Bella to examine her, Emmett and Esme please let's keep the damage to a minimal." Jasper kissed Bella's cheek and the inside of her wrist when she stood up to leave with Rose. Once they had left the room, Alice turned on them.
"Listen, we had visited the Volturi as a show of good faith, Aro would like us to go back and be on the guard, but you know now that's going to be difficult now that we know about Bella and the baby. Granted…I couldn't see this…see that you would be hers…" It showed in her face that it bothered her a little; Edward seemed indifferent only bother by the fact that Bella was put in danger.
"I suppose you'll have to go visit Aro as well, now that you've found your mate." Edward nearly snarled at Jasper. Jasper remained calm and collected.
"Look Edward, Bella thinks she's pregnant, we're not 100 percent sure hence why Carlisle is here. Can't you just accept we're together, it's not like we through a huge fit when you left Bella for Alice. Bella wasn't even angry with you! I didn't even care about it by that point. You're one to talk about caring for mates, when yours is vibrating with hate and betrayal." It took all of his control not to carelessly toss Alice out of their home, her betrayal in deliberately keeping him from Bella.
Get rid of her. Get rid of them…mate…Bella, need to see Bella. Jasper stalked away, giving orders that Edward and Alice not leave the living room area unless they were leaving their home. His phone buzzed in his pocket.
"We're on route Major, ETA 10 minutes." Peter's voice rang in his ears and it was the only thing aside from the possibility of his mate being pregnant that was keeping him in control.
"Good," He took a quick breath, "I need you here." It took a lot for the Major to admit it, but his coven was the only ones he could trust at this point. Charlotte and Peter were more than capable of taking down the Cullen coven if need be, but at this point, only Alice and Edward were on that list. Jasper could tell his mate and former sister had forged quite a bond and Rose's protection of Bella was more than welcome, obviously Emmett was completely wrapped around Rose's finger, meaning Emmett's protection as well. Esme was completely open with her feelings and even though she viewed Edward as her son, Bella was her daughter, with now possibly carrying her grandchild. She was with Jasper and Bella. Carlisle…he couldn't quite figure out, but needless to say, he was sure Esme would have her way with him should he try something.
"Bella?" Jasper gingerly poked his head into the guest room that was currently occupied by his mate, sister and Carlisle.
"Jazz, come here," Bella reached for his hand and he quickly went to her side. Rose stood off to the side quietly looking at the couple and then around the room. Carlisle just smiled and nodded his head.
"Come on Rose, let's give them some privacy." She gracefully got to her feet and followed him outside. The obvious lack of answers sent him into a small panic but Jasper reined in his feelings waiting for Bella.
Bella brushed her knuckles over Jasper's face and smiled up at him, Carlisle had given her the metaphorical pink line! She was pregnant.
"Oh Jazz, we're going to have a baby." Jasper's face changed at least a couple of expression before Bella could finally see the unadulterated joy. He kissed her, picking her up and spinning her around.
"Bella" Kiss, "You've given me" Kiss, "the greatest wedding present." Kiss, he wrapped his arms around her as he set her back on her feet.
"Hey, you gave him to me, I think I got the best wedding present." She giggled and looked down at her stomach.
The sudden crashing of furniture and shouting broke the happy couple out of their bliss.
"I suppose if I asked you to stay up here you wouldn't?" He tried but Bella just gave him that look.
"Not on your life. This is our house, I'm the mistress here not anyone else." She took his hand and they quickly went downstairs.
The sight they saw was not what was expected by any stretch of the imagination, human or not.
Emmett was holding down Alice, and Edward was growling at her. If looks could kill Esme would have buried her well beneath six feet, Carlisle stood by almost indifferent but definitely cold to his would be daughter and Rosalie…Rosalie looked down right murderous. Just like the seductive monster humans idolized in their movies. The silence between them all was only broken by Bella's soft voice.
"Emmett? What's going on?" She took careful steps but Jasper stopped her before her feet could touch the final stair.
"Traitor. I…I trusted you." Edward's voice was laced with anguish and pain, nearly causing Jasper to hunch over, but Major would not have him showing weakness to anyone but Bella.
"Edward," Bella's voice reached his ears, "What's going on?" Edward turned his golden eyes on Bella and the emotional turmoil she saw flashing through them caused her to gasp. Edward's stance quickly shifted from offensive to submissive as he approached Bella, knowing Jasper was right there. He didn't feel like chancing his life with Jasper so close by, knowing he was on a hair trigger as it was. Edward slowly got down on his knees in front of Bella, barely raising his head to look at her.
Too close! Dangerous! Bella! Major was howling at Jasper but Jasper knew Edward wasn't in any position to harm his mate, his entire demeanor had change and the fact alone that he'd let his mate be pinned by another male screamed that something was wrong.
"Bella, I." he shook his head, as if he was trying to piece together his thoughts. "I…Alice…" Bella wanted to reach out to touch him, but Jasper held her wrist. She snapped her head at him, but he shook his head. He was willing to hear Edward out but Bella touching him was out of the question. She sighed and merely nodded, deciding she'd deal with him later.
"Alice was going to take you back to Aro. I saw it. I saw it in her mind…" Edward turned his glaze on Alice, dark and menacing. "She is, she is my true mate, I know that, but we never…I never agreed to that. It was something Aro decided with her without me, something she hid from me. I love her Bella I do, but she betrayed me, betrayed our family. She would have sold you just to make sure either Jasper or I could hold you in both senses, as my sister or as his mate. She knew…she knew Jasper was your mate, and let me think I was in love with you. It was a game for her…Oh Bella…" Edward didn't even wait to hear a response before he out the door and into the snow covered yard. Alice only then let out a sob of pain. Bella sank down on the steps, while Jasper fought to keep from killing the pixie.
"Major?" Peter and Charlotte entered from where Edward left, Charlotte instantly was by Bella's side and Peter flanked off to Jasper's right.
"Stand down, it appears even Edward was being played in this game." Together Jasper and Bella walked towards Emmett and Alice.
"Why?" Bella didn't bother to hide the venom in her voice this time around, the last time she and Alice had spoken she'd tried to be pleasant and understanding, this time, the vampire in front of her was worth about as much as the dirt beneath her feet. How dare she play with people's lives? Did she honestly think it was okay to deliberately keep Edward in the dark and to force Jasper into thinking he was a monster? To make him think his scars weren't something to be proud of? The rage and hate pouring off Bella had Jasper's stepping back, he'd intended to get all the information out of Alice as he could then have either killed or sent back to her employer but his mate's emotions proved to be something to be reckoned with, and if he was being totally honestly he found it a little humorous and attractive that Bella would be the one to dish out the punishment.
Alice stared up at Bella's face, she definitely wasn't the same little human that Edward had first brought home, what stood before her was exactly as she'd fear and had tried to prevent; the return of the Goddess of War. She'd known since Edward had first brought Bella home that underneath her mousy appearance was the other half of Jasper's soul, his true mate. Even when she first met Jasper in that diner she'd known he wasn't her mate, but it was a part of a completely separate gift altogether, it was dangerous and from what she gathered, the reason she was placed in that insane asylum when she was human. She was very manipulative as well able to see glimpses of the future. She hadn't known Bella before Edward brought her home and then we Jasper started to take interest did it all click together. She thought she could mutually separate from Jasper and let him be happy with Bella, and she also started to get closer to Edward, finding her true mate under her nose all along. Nothing was decided until Aro had summoned them to visit. He'd sought her out while she was separated from Edward and revealed that he was informed of her other gift, he wanted her to use it to bring Bella to him, to have her become the center piece of gifted guardians he had. He threatened Edward's life and the life of the Cullen's who'd adopted her as their daughter, unless she agreed to produce Bella. He didn't reveal why other than her ability to immune to their powers, but Alice suspected there had to be another reason for him to go to such extremes. While Alice was close to Bella, she couldn't allow anything to happen to Edward or her family. Now she was faced with a choice, reveal all she knew and pray they would forgive her, or say nothing and watch the events unfold?
Either way, she doubted she would live to see the future for much longer.
Okay guys! Lot's happened in this chapter! Well now you know about Alice and Edward, not to worry too much I have plans! Have faith in me! It's going to get good! I hate cliff hangers too; chapter 9 is already in the works!
