Jasper:
After ordering our food, an awkward silence filled the table. Maria was sitting between me and Rose, and on the other side of the table sat Bella, Alice and Emmett. Emmett and Rosalie sat on the ends to feed the babies. Aubrey and Mason were in the highchairs that sat on the end of the table.
"Sooo Bella, how is Abigail?"
"She's good! She's getting so big! She's four and she's starting kindergarten next September." Bella gushed, pulling a small picture out of her purse.
"Aww, she's adorable!" Rose exclaimed, handing the picture back to Bella.
"Right now she goes to that Daycare Tit For Tot!" Bella informed, placing the picture in her purse, "she already is good in addition so she'll nail kindergarten and first grade."
Alice looked nervous and she continued to inhale and exhale sharp breaths.
"Rose." Alice called out, as Rose turned to Alice grinning ear to ear.
"Why did you hide your babies' paternity?" Alice asked, getting straight to the point.
The waiter came over and sat our drinks on the table. Rose threw her straw into her cup and took a large gulp of the liquid.
"The day I found out I was pregnant was the day Jasper left you at the altar." Rose started, causing me to look away, shamefully, "I didn't want to tell anyone, especially after what happened that day. You were already depressed and this news would just knock you into a further depression. Besides Emmett wasn't ready to become a father. He was still in his bachelor days and I wasn't nothing but a one night stand. And if you add that to the point that Carlisle and Esme wouldn't approve, I just thought it'd be better if none of you knew."
"But the mean things we said to you-"
"Is forgotten." Rose cut off, holding her hand up to silence Alice.
"Jasper, why did you leave my sister at the altar?" Emmett asked, glaring daggers into my eyes.
"The truth is, I wasn't just dating Alice, I was dating another woman. She got pregnant and told me she was pregnant the day I was going to marry Alice. I had to choose and I chose her." I explained, noticing an uneasiness in Emmett's face.
Emmett jumped up and punched me in the face. He knocked the sodas onto Alice and Bella's lap, causing them to jump up. I heard Maria scream, before Rose quickly covered her eyes. My head flew back into the seat cushion after the impact of his fist.
Rose slid out of the booth and helped Maria out next. While Rose attended to me, Maria burst out into tears.
"Jasper are you okay?" Rose asked, worriedly, helping me sit up.
"I'm fine!" I growled, pushing her away.
I noticed Bella scoop up a crying Maria into her arms. She tried to cool down my daughter, but it wasn't working. Maria began screaming louder causing other bystanders who were here to eat, to start looking. Maria began kicking and twisting in Bella's arms, but she still didn't put her down.
"Let me out!" I snapped, pushing Rose out of the booth.
"I suggest you slide back into that booth." Emmett spat, clenching his fists.
"I suggest you get out of here." I growled, approaching him.
"Get out of his face!" Rose screamed, pulling Emmett back.
Emmett pulled his arm out of Rosalie's grip before pushing her away. Emmett turned back towards me and pushed me back.
"What the fuck is your problem?" I shouted, pulling my sleeves up.
I looked to the side to notice both Aubrey and Mason in their car seats. The car seats sat on the messy table, and both toddlers fell fast asleep even with all of this drama going on. Emmett's eyes followed my own causing him to quickly storm out of the restaurant.
I noticed Alice strapping the toddlers in as she wiped the corners of her eyes. Why is she crying? She should be happy, I know she was dying to see that. Alice straightened up and followed her brother out of the restaurant. I noticed Maria still crying in Bella's arms, but Bella continued holding her. Rosalie walked towards them and extended her arms.
Maria quickly extended her arms towards Rosalie, and jumped into her arms.
"You disgust me!" Bella growled, rolling her eyes at me, before going after Alice and Emmett.
I felt my eye start to swell up as I looked up at Rose. Rose looked down at me and her eyes started to well up with tears.
"I'm sorry." I whispered, grabbing her hand to sit her down.
Maria took a seat on the other side of the booth. She started playing with Mason, as Aubrey continued to sleep.
Rose covered her face with her hands as she cried into them.
"I'm sorry." I repeated, as the waiter came over carrying a tray of our food.
"The day I told our parents the truth, you were in the kitchen getting bottles together for the babies." I started to explain.
Rose probably only heard bits and pieces of the story. I took Rose's hand in mine and kissed the back of it.
"I thought you conceived Maria after you broke up with Alice. I kind of knew you weren't faithful to her, but I thought you at least waited." Rose bellowed, as more tears came spewing out.
"I'm sorry." I repeated once more.
"I'm not mad at you. You're my brother and I will always love you." Rose whispered, as I pulled her into my arms for a hug.
