Chapter Ten

I stared at my son confused. How had he known who Edward was? It took me a second but I remembered.

"The picture. He saw the picture I have of you in my wallet. That's how he knew. He saw it in there once I think." I said mostly to myself as I turned to look at him.

He stared at me for a while and then looked at me weird. "You have a picture of me in your wallet?"

I felt myself go red. "No! I mean yes, but no-"

"Bella!" Jasper called from the door.

I quickly turned my head to see him coming inside the room and saw that he was holding. . . Alice Cullen's hand.

"Jasper?" I asked pointedly at his and Alice's hands.

Alice blushed and let go but moved closer to him.

"Bella, how's Mason? Jasper got a call from Mase's teacher and Emmett also called. We tried to get here as soon as possible. . ." Alice quickly said.

I looked around the room and realized Emmett had left without saying a word. It was now only me, Edward, Alice, Jasper, and of course Mase.

Before I could talk Edward looked at her annoyed. "Alice, you knew about Mason didn't you? That's why you've been avoiding me."

Alice rolled her eyes. "Yes Edward. How do you think Bella got to your place. Now move over, I want to see how my nephew is doing."

Edward did as he was told and moved out of the way so Jasper and Alice could get a closer look of Mason in the cramped room.

I frowned. Jasper and Alice? What was going on with them? I shook my head. I guess the questions could come later.

Before I got a chance to answer Alice, the room got even more cramped.

"Ms. Swan?" A familiar voice asked.

I turned to find Carlisle staring at me confused.

"Bella? Is that really you?" He asked me as if he wasn't sure.

I nodded. "Hi Carlisle. It's been a while."

"It really has. . . Edward, Alice what are you two doing here?" Carlisle asked confused. He looked between them waiting for an answer.

"Oh hey dad, can you tell us how Mason's doing before all the questioning starts?" Alice asked impatiently.

"Bella, are you his mother?" Carlisle asked me, ignoring Alice's question. I was one hundred percent sure he knew that already but just wanted a confirmation.

I nodded and looked away from him feeling the tension in the room rise.

"Um. . . Ok then, Mason's going to be ok. We have him on antibiotics but they aren't working one hundred percent of the time so I want to keep him over night in case something happens. Since I last talked to him he had told me he couldn't breath right and had headaches so the breathing tubes are staying on. I'll keep on checking on him Bella and hopefully by tomorrow afternoon he'll be ready to head back home."

I nodded. Mason had lied to me about feeling 'fine' then. "Thank you so much Carlisle." I told him softly as I looked at my baby's face.

"My pleasure Bella. Now if you'll excuse me, I'd like to speak to Edward and Alice." He said in a calm tone.

I turned to look at Alice as she gulp and nodded, following Carlisle out the door. Glancing at Edward, I watching how reluctantly he made his way to the door.

Meeting my eyes for a fraction of a second, he closed the door behind him leaving me and jasper alone with Mason.

"What a freaky family reunion." Jasper said.

I shook my head as I traced Mason's hand. "Tell me about it."

Suddenly I paused and looked at Jasper. "Jazz, what's going on with you and Alice?" I asked him.

He gulped.

"Um not much. . . I just sorta bumped into her and we went out for lunch, got to know each other, had a argument, made up, decided we wanted to get married-"

My head snapped up and my eyes widened. "Wait, what did you just say?!"

He sighed but then looked at me confidently. "I'm going to marry Alice Cullen. I realized just how much she means to me and how I can't let her go. I love her and no ones going to stop that."

"What about your mother. How are you going to tell her that. You know how special she is. And Father Mason? What about him?" I narrowed my eyes at him.

He gulped again but then looked at me with pleading eyes. "All I can say is, your either with me or against me. I'm going to marry her, ok? Bella be on my side please. Lecture me all you want but in the end, be with me."

I looked into Jasper's eyes for a second and slowly nodded. We went so back I knew he would be heart broken if I told him anything otherwise. I knew he needed me to be ok with his decision because I was the one who would always back him up. It wasn't about to change.

I went towards him and gave him a hug. He hugged me back tightly and then smiled.

"Honestly Bells, I was really scared to hear what you had to say. If you had said no going through with this wedding would be a little harder without you." Jasper admitted.

I grinned at him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Well all I can say now is congrats Jazz. Also you are going to tell your mother about all this."

He grimaced knowing it probably wouldn't be pretty.

We turned towards the door as we heard it open and in came a dancing Alice grinning from ear to ear.

"Yay! Thank you so much Bella for agreeing with us. Now that everyone knows I can start planning the wedding and everything! I'm so excited! You're going to help me with everything right Maid of Honor?!" Alice said all in one breath.

I bit my lip and tried to hide my grimace. "Of course Alice."

She quickly squealed and hugged me.

"Alice! Masons sleeping remember?" I told her quietly with a grin. Seeing Alice's bubbly form made me so happy even though it was because I had agreed to be tortured with wedding planning.

"Oh right, sorry!" She stage whispered to me.

I smiled and grabbed my purse. "Can you guys take care of Mase for me real quick? I have to make a call. I'll be right back."

Jasper and Alice both nodded and I quietly left the room. Heading to the waiting room I scrolled through my contacts until I found the one I was looking for. WORK.

I bit my lip and sighed. In all the craziness I hadn't gotten a chance to call my work and tell them I wouldn't be able to go in today. As I pressed the call button, I felt someone looking over my shoulder.

Turning quickly around, I jumped at the sight of Edward behind me. "What the hell are you doing?!" I asked as I reached down to pick up my phone from the ground. It wasn't there though, instead it was in Edward's hand.

"Don't worry I already called. You don't have to go back to work until the day after tomorrow." He said as he handed me my phone back.

I narrowed my eyes at him. "And who are you to do that?! The Chairman of the company?"

I was so annoyed. It was my fault for bringing him back into my life sorta but I hated that he was doing things for me. It was irritating.

He looked at me with what seemed like annoyed humor. "Well I may not be the Chairman but I think being CEO might be just as important when it comes down to making decisions and things like that."

Crap. I felt my cheeks turn tomato red. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Cullen. I didn't mean to-"

Edward held his hand up and rolled his eyes. "Yeah you did Bella. Just because you know who I am you want to take it all back. Also, don't call me Mr. Cullen. There's no need for formalities when we know each other so well."

"Bella. . .Mason's asking for you." Jasper said, breaking the awkwardness between me and Edward. I turned to look at him and smiled.

"Thanks." I said and quickly walked to my baby's room. I knew me and Edward had a lot of things to talk about but I didn't think now was the time.

Knowing myself all I could think was then when would it be.
