Chapter 10
She smiled softly at the sleeping messy brown curl baby in her arms. She reached up slowly and swept her fingers across her little Violet's pale chubby cheek. Violet look so much like Edward already with a well structured face and a sharp nose. The feature that claim her as Edward's daughter were slowly fluttering open at the moment. Her bright emerald eyes open and glanced sleepily at her. She lean down and pressed a kiss on her warm forehead and breathed out.
"My sweet little one, I love you so much."
Violet emerald eyes stared at her for a moment before closing again and exhaling deeply. She giggled just as the nurse enter the room and looked at her moment before saying.
"Miss. Swan, I'm going to take the baby to the nursery so you can rest."
"No, I want her here with me."
The nurse smiled before walking toward her and collect Violet in her arms and placing her into the crib beside her bed. The nurse straighten up and looked at her before saying.
"Okay, I'll be back within the next hour to help you feed her."
"Okay, that's prefect."
The nurse walk out the room leaving her to lean against her pillow and stare at her private room filled with pink balloons and flowers. She shook her head and look at the large teddy bear in the corner. Jasper had been the one to send her the bear, but he haven't been in to see her. She knew why, because when he confessed he loved her. She had remain speechless. Jasper had quickly step out and had not made an appearance. Quite frankly, she didn't know how to respond to him. She knew what she felt for him, but she felt oddly guilty about it. She couldn't deny though that he made her feel safe and protected. Whenever she was near him, she couldn't help but be happy. He help her get through everything and never asked her for anything. He was always there for her, he was her stability when she felt the world fall apart around her.
She sigh out and pressed her head against her pillow and breathe out. Was she allow to love him? Would she be betraying Edward if she did? She closed her eyes for a moment, trying to sort out her feeling and hoping that she could be able to figure out what she felt for Jasper before he took her silence any worse than he already had.
An hour later, she was finishing feeding Violet, when a young doctor step into her room. She blinked up at him as she held Violet closer to her. The doctor smiled warmly and let his warm emerald eyes pierce into her brown. There was something familiar in those eyes. His translucent skin capture the dim light of the lamp and glinted. What look like copper color hair was gel perfectly back, there was something about this doctor that she recognized. She had never seen him before though, as the doctor said.
"Good evening, Miss Swan…I'm the pediatric at hospital and I need to give little Violet here, her first check up."
"Oh, of course Dr…"
His emerald eyes filled with amusement before saying.
"Masen, Anthony Masen."
"Dr. Masen"
She smiled back, oddly enough those were Edward's middle names. He gently lean down and collect Violet in his arms. He stared down in amazement at the Violet. A brilliant smile overtook his rather handsome prefect face. There was something in that smile that made her think of Edward, but she shook her head. What in the world was wrong with her? Dr. Masen placed Violet on the bed and began his check up.
Pretty soon he was done and said,
"Everything looks good."
He placed her back in her crib and whispered.
"She's beautiful."
"I know…she looks like her father."
He turn his head to look at her before shaking his head. She narrow her eyes certain she had seen a fleeting blush on his skin. He whispered back.
"She look's like you. Her father very lucky to have her."
She nodded as the Dr. Masen step closer to her and her heart gave a sudden pulse. She swallow before saying.
"Was that all, doctor?"
"Yes, do you need me to get your husband for you?"
"No, I'm not married."
"Your boyfriend then?"
"No, I don't have a boyfriend."
Dr. Masen eyes soften before saying
"Oh, it just there is a blond man outside your door."
"I didn't know that he was there."
"He is, must be uncomfortable to be sleeping in chair by the door."
She nodded her head before asking herself out loud.
"Why would he do that?"
When Dr. Masen answer her question, she quickly look up. His emerald eyes shimmering up at her as he said.
"He must love you very much."
"Yes, I believe he does."
He smiled at her before saying.
"If I may give you some advice, near fear loving someone. Never let someone slip away because you are hold onto a memory."
"Why do you say that?"
"If that man outside isn't your husband or boyfriend, I can only assume he isn't Violet's father. Yet, he's sitting outside and mumbling your name and her name in his sleep. He loves you both very much but he doesn't come in, so again I assume he is giving you some space."
"Violet father is dead, that why he isn't here. Don't assume he walk out on us or anything."
"I didn't imply that Miss. Swan…but I'm sure that right now, wherever he is, he is proud to know he has a beautiful daughter with a amazing women who was willing to have a family without him."
He turn his eyes toward her and smiled softly and continued.
"Happy as well knowing that you will always have something of his to cherish because he was taken away from you too soon. He had so much say, to promise you…but he didn't have the time. Now, his heart is warmed to know that his brother is willing to offer you and this little one the world and everything in it. So don't worry about a memory, feel free to love a man that loves you for a long time. And I know you love him as well, my darling Issy."
Her eyes widen at the name, only Edward had ever called that. Dr. Masen turn on his heels and walk away but not before looking at her and Violet and said.
"I love you both, and I will always be in your hearts. I'll always watch over you until we meet again."
She whispered out slowly
"Edward?"
He winked before disappearing behind a swing door. She knew what she had to do. She slid quietly out of her bed and head for her door, and she slowly open it to see that Jasper was indeed sleeping on a chair. She pressed her hand on Jasper shoulder and shook him gently. He instantly shot up from the chair and turn to look at her wide eye.
"What's wrong?"
She took his hands and held on tightly. He blinked at her but held on to her as she said,
"Nothing wrong. Come on in, I need to talk to you."
He let go of her hands and nodded, before rubbing the sleep out of his eyes and walking into the room. She turn around to see her Edward lean against the wall and stared at them, the famous Cullen crooked smile on his face. He nodded his head as she blew him a small kiss.
He slowly faded away as he turned to walk down the hall. She looked down for moment, and grinned.
Even after death Edward was there to guide and tell her it was okay to love someone else. She knew that she wanted Jasper in her life, and create a new beginning with him.
When she closed the door silently behind her and look at Jasper, he was standing next to Violet crib and stroking her cheek. When Violet lean into his soft touch and sleepily cooed at him. She giggled making him look up, his icy blue eyes looked troubled but that didn't stop him from giving her a forced smile. She walk slowly toward him and grab his hands before pulling him toward the bed. When she sat down, she motion for him to do the same. However he shook his head, and help her settle back into her spot before taking a seat. She grab his hand again and said,
"Do you really love me Jasper?"
Jasper looked up and whispered
"Yeah, since the first time I stared into those brown eyes. I felt something every strong for you…it became love as time went by and we shared our moments together."
"I never knew that."
"Edward loved you, and his happiness was all that matter to me. So I pushed my feeling aside."
"And now with everything, those feeling came back?"
"Yes…stronger than I ever thought imaginable. But I understand…I understand that you don't love me."
She smiled at him before saying.
"Then you'll be wrong."
Icy blues and chocolate brown locked in an intense stare as she lean forward and said as loud and as clear as possible.
"I love you, Jasper."
Then she lean in at the same time he did and their lips pressed against each other. In that moment they sealed their love and fate together.
