Chapter Ten. Party Time.

Jasper's POV

I was sat on our bed with my arms wrapped around Alice as she read to me, when the book slammed shut and Alice jumped up.

"Ooh, Jasper, we're having a party! Gotta get dressed up." And she was gone. Well, if you can so can I, I thought.

"I quite agree," said Edward, coming in the door Alice had left open. "Shall we see if we can get Emmett in on the plan?"

"Oh yeah, he could do with a shower." So off we went to Daisy's room, interrupting a game of peek-a-boo. "Emmett, Edward and I are going to watch Daisy for a while, so you can take a shower and put something half decent on. The girls are having a party."

"A party?" Emmett threw the comforter he had been hiding behind onto Daisy's bed. Ruffling her hair, he stood up to leave. "Cool!"

"Use Edward's bathroom - the girls are all in yours," I suggested.

Edward and I sat playing with Daisy who periodically wondered where Emmett was, but I easily calmed her panic. Sunday afternoon was going to be fine. Of course, Alice saw what we were up to and smuggled Emmett's clothes out of his room.

"Here, Edward. You'd better give these to Emmett," she said, holding out a hanger, shoes and underwear.

"Go on, Edward," I said. "We'll be fine. You may as well shower yourself while you're there." So Edward left and a short while later Emmett came back to take Daisy, and then I went to spruce myself up. On the way to my room I passed Carlisle's study and sensed he was inside. I knocked and put my head round the door. "Coming to the party, Carlisle?"

Rosalie's POV

We'd had such fun, and here we were - all four of us, looking absolutely gorgeous. Esme was very elegant in gold ballroom sandals and a wrap with a knee length black cocktail dress. Bella wore a sweet fuchsia one shouldered dress tied with a bow on her left hip and ruched around the hem, finished off by a pair of matching ballet flats. Alice's turquoise party dress had a pleated bodice studded with rhinestones and a layered bubble hem also with matching stilettos. I was wearing a scarlet body-hugging dress, sporting a low back and side split, with killer heels. "Now for some music and dancing, ladies."

I opened the bedroom door and led them down the hall to the stairs, where I stopped and gasped. Waiting at the bottom of the stairs were four of the sexiest men on the planet. They were all wearing dark suits with proper shirts and ties. The biggest, tallest, most handsome of them all reached up toward me and grinned, as his body struggled not to burst out of his jacket. "Emmett!" I screamed, and launched myself down the stairs into his big strong arms. I hugged him tight as he swung me around. "You all look wonderful!" I exclaimed, as I turned back to watch the other girls claim their partners.

"Welcome to your party, Rose," Emmett said, following it with a passionate kiss. Ooh, this had been the best idea ever. Someone had started the music and Emmett began to spin me around the floor. I was in heaven. I had my big strong monkey man back and he was in a monkey suit, which I was mentally practising removing, for later. I was so happy that I managed not to take exception when I realised that Emmett was going to spell Jasper holding that weed. Then the noise started again. How could something so small make so much noise?

"I don't think she likes the loud music," Emmett said in my ear, "I'll take her outside."

"Well I'm not coming with you - this is my party and I'm going to enjoy every minute!" And I did. After all there were three very handsome men left and I was going to dance with each of them.

Before long Carlisle was whispering. "Its three o'clock, Rose. Those tickets will be waiting."

I nodded my thanks. "Don't stop dancing on my account, I've got a little errand to run," I announced grabbing a jacket and a bag, and jumping in my BMW to drive to the hospital.

Emmett's POV earlier that evening.

I was just stepping out of Edward's shower when I heard him enter the bedroom.

"I've got your clothes here, Emmett - courtesy of Alice - and I'm going in there soon as you're out."

I wrapped a large towel around my waist and left the bathroom. "All yours, Edward. Hey, are you sure about these clothes?"

"Actually, no, but Alice is and I'm not betting against her."

I still wasn't sure, but I knew I'd never get in my room for anything else, so I squeezed myself into the suit. I went back to Daisy, so Jasper could get changed. Edward soon joined me, and I was relieved to see him in a suit too.

"What's with the James Bond look, Edward?"

"We thought that since the girls were making an effort, so should we."

Soon we were joined by Jasper and Carlisle. "Whoa man, what century is that from?" Carlisle gave me a shrug that clearly invited me to elucidate.

"Well at least it fits," Jasper sniggered.

"Are you waiting tables tonight?" Edward returned.

"Gentlemen, I think you'll find the ladies will appreciate our efforts." Carlisle reminded us why we'd got spruced up.

Of course, there had been arm-punching and back-slapping, but it would be worth it if the girls thought we looked hot. Edward gave us the heads up that the girls were almost ready, and we made our way to the bottom of the stairs to wait for them. As we heard the bedroom door open, I felt a tap on my shoulder.

"My turn, Emmett, give her to me." Jasper took hold of Daisy.

As I turned back to look up the stairs a vision of beauty appeared at the top. I grinned at the vision and with a squeal she found my arms. It felt so good to be holding Rose that I just had to kiss her. It had been too long since I had held her and I was relieved that she had let go of her resentment, at least for a while.

Jasper's POV

I took Daisy from Emmett just in time. Emmett whirled off with Rosalie, and Carlisle and Edward were soon sweeping Esme and Bella off their feet too. Alice ran up to me and with a quick kiss said, "that was so kind, Jasper."

She shot over to the stereo and started the music, then climbed onto the settee with Daisy and me to watch. I could feel Daisy's anxiety and tried hard to soothe her, but eventually she worked herself up to a full on wail. Even when Emmett held her she didn't hush, so he carried her outside. Alice and I took to the floor to show the others how it was done. We got quite carried away and it had been longer than I intended, when I thought to give Emmett chance to dance again. As I was about to leave the floor, Rosalie announced she had an errand and left. A few dances later, I heard Rose's car pull into the garage. She came in and made a bee line for...me.

"Jasper, I need to see Emmett alone, do you think you could..."

"Of course, Rose. I was going to take Daisy earlier, before you left."

Rosalie became excited as she said, "give me twenty minutes, then send him up to our room. Okay?"

"Got it."

AN. Okay, are we enjoying the party? Chapter nine had Carlisle being an awesome Dad. Look out Esme, it's your turn to be a superMum next chapter.
