JXB Addicted: Now she's in for it! You'll have to read to find out if Bella lets loose on her! Don't worry about Edward I have plans for him.

Krystal214: Edward is very upset and hurt, not only was he played, he played Bella, and that hurts him as well as Alice's betrayal. Don't worry too much; you'll see how it plays out.

Kouga's Older Woman: It's very nice to have people wanting more trust me you won't annoying! Calm your shakes! I'm working quickly.

AbbeNormal: I actually don't watch the Simsons, but I can just imagine what you were doing! Well generally the Cullen's are always good and I needed a plot twist, you'll see why I needed Alice to be the scapegoat. I'm glad you're enjoying it. Yes Major and Jasper are just the best.

TwilightAddict71484: Let's keep the pitch forking to a minimum! Lol I know no one saw me twisting that on Edward, not to worry! All will be revealed soon.

Twimama77: Thank you!

TrueSkye: I love when Major and Jasper interact. Major has always known Bella was theirs so his protectiveness has been in overdrive for a while. Yes I took the kiss from my own experience; my boyfriend does it to me sometimes. Yes everyone is feeling the shock with Edward and Alice. I hope I don't disappoint anyone with her punishment.

Deltagrl: I hope I don't disappoint you!

Soulsistersinaslan: Bella's slowly becoming exactly what she's suppose to be Major knows her potential and I agree will be very happy. As far as how many children they'll have well that's up to Major and Jasper. As for Alice, well you'll just have to see, but as you can see, if Edward was willing to leave her in Jasper's hands…well you'll just have to see.

Alright guys! I really hope I don't disappoint ya'll with this chapter! Alice gets her due and we find out some more regarding the pregnancy and how everything will play out!

Warning some people now, things are going to get ugly and there are some darker theme implied, I don't personally like it, so it's not graphic but be on the lookout.

Alice sighed softly, pleadingly looking at the spot where Edward had last looked at her. His eyes were filled with such hatred and hurt…he'd let her in, been so kind and taken care of her, why couldn't she just trust him? Why had she alienated him? She couldn't even answer her own questions.

"Alice. I will not ask again." Bella's voice penetrated her thoughts and gone was the sisterly affections. Did Alice risk the goddess's wrath?

"I can't answer you Bella. But trust me when I say I didn't plan any of this until my visit with the Volturi." She kept her voice from shaking too much and chose not to look her dead in the eye.

"I don't believe you Alice, why would you deliberately keep Jasper from me, if you knew if you knew we belonged together? I thought you cared about me, about us." Bella didn't buy that Alice didn't already have this planned out from the beginning, but it was more believable now that the Volutri would be involved as well.

"Bella please….they tied my hands, I couldn't refuse." She bowed her head…this was just the way it had to be. If Bella and Jasper decided she had to die…oh Edward, what would her beloved do? But honestly at this point would he still care?

"You know I would Alice." Edward silently walked back in, leaning up against the living room wall frame.

"She's your mate Edward, but she tried to sell mine, I want to know why, and if some agreement can be made." Major was screaming just to kill the whole lot of them and take Bella away somewhere safe, but Jasper had ties here, and this was Bella's adopted family. He couldn't just do that. As much as he wanted to, it would definitely be frowned upon by his mate.

"I can tell you what I saw, what's she's thinking about, her privacy, which I use to respect, is not a problem." Alice wanted to cry, Edward was going to tell every intimate detail, every thought…

"But Jasper," Edward looked towards him, with an unreadable emotion "Don't kill her. Let me send her to the Denali, I know I won't hurt her, but I think I've let her get away with too much now, and some form…discussion is needed here." Jasper understood perfectly what his former brother was trying to say without disgusting Bella and practically insulting the women in the room. Edward was finally going to let loose that tight control he had and let loose on Alice, to discipline her and show her exactly who her mate was and where they stood in the relationship. It was a hard lesson, and generally unless it was a last resort not used, but obviously Edward didn't know what else to do with Alice and if this was the choice he made for her, Jasper would not stop him.

"I can leave her punishment up to you, but I want every detail, every thought of what was going between her and Aro, and what he wanted with Bella." By this point Bella had let Jasper take over the interrogation with Alice, her stomach was starting to ache and she didn't want to stress out the baby or Jasper.

"Rose will you come with me upstairs?" She made her voice sound fine, but she needed to lie down. Rose was by her side immediately,

"Sure Bella." The two women left the room, leaving on the men and Esme to deal with Alice.

"I'm going into town and get some food for Bella, I'll be back dear." Esme kissed each of her boy's cheeks, deliberately ignoring Alice and left the house, Charlotte followed after, saying she would like to visit with Esme. Charlotte wasn't too much of fan of punishment and she had to pick up Bree from the hotel room they left her in.

"Make it easier Alice and just tells us. Don't make me probe your thoughts." Edward still cared about her, and if he could avoid breaking her freewill he would. Alice looked up at him, her eyes silently pleading with him.

"Either you talk and let everything come out, or I'll send Edward away and make you talk myself, with only Peter around. Trust me, Alice. Take the lesser of two evils, I'm not your mate, I won't go easy on you." Jasper left with Bella, the one who stood before them was the Major, the God of War in all his anger and glory. Part of him honestly wanted Alice to choose him, because he would enjoy methodically picking her apart.

I'm going to die either way, Aro will find me. Alice sighed but opted to have Edward rather Jasper punish her.

"Aro wanted Bella to complete his guard, her power of immunity. I swear when I realized Jasper was meant to be with her, I had decided to fade out and let them be happy, but then I got this vision and then Bella's birthday happened. Aro had talk to me privately; he threatened Edward and the family unless I managed to get Bella to him. I was scared, you have to understand I try to never ever use my other gift, but that vision, I could change the outcome if Bella and Edward thought they belonged together, I didn't know Edward was suppose to be with me at the time. But when I did, I realized I couldn't keep up the game and I had to let them fade from each other…but I still couldn't let Bella become what has already happened. That's why, along with Aro threatening us that I was going to convince Bella to go, I knew the Volutri could control her." Jasper growled, and almost lunged for her. Peter and Carlisle went for him. His voice had changed completely, a monstrous growl erupted,

"Take her Edward; get her out of my home. Now. The punishment you dish out better fucking fit this, or I swear, I swear there won't be a place safe for her." Edward was fighting with his own demons trying not to lash out at his mate. He rough grabbed her from Emmett, gratefully for once in her life she didn't put up a fight and accepted her fate. They were gone before anymore damage could be done.

"Leave. Please leave now, I just want to be alone with Bella." Carlisle nodded and ushered Emmett out while he went to get Rose.

"Major?" Peter's voice penetrated the haze. "She was telling most of the truth. I don't think she left anything big out, other than what she fears, and is her own imagination running wild. That Bella's change will bring about the Goddess of War. She's right; Bella is your mate in every way." He didn't try to touch him, but he too, left Jasper to deal with his thoughts.

"Cowboy?" Bella peeked into the room from the door, when Rose left with the others Bella knew something had happened and Jasper would need her. She found him leaning against a wall, his fist making a dent. "Jasper, I rather like the house in one piece." He was at her side in an instant. His face nuzzled up against her neck, she wrapped her arms around his broad shoulders and offered what comfort she could.

"I let Edward deal with her. She wouldn't have survived if I had dished out the punishment, I know what it's like to live thinking there was no hope of happiness, and even though she'd betrayed us, she is still Edward's mate and I won't force him into that sort of pain. Though I suspect we'll be seeing a different Edward now, one who's finally accepted his vampire and taken control from Alice," It was a weak explanation, but he honestly knew if he'd had his way, he would already be on his way to take out the Volturi, they would honestly not be a problem for the God of War. Bella had walked them to the couch and listened while Jasper laid his head in her lap. She ran her hand through his blonde hair while she spoke.

"I understand Jazz, I do. I'm still angry and I did want her to die, but I know that's my temper talking, if she really thought it was the best solution…" She trailed off; no, she couldn't justify what Alice was trying to do, regardless of how she felt. "She should have just told us from the get go, this all could have been avoided."

Edward roughly shoved Alice against a large thick tree; he'd taken her deep into the Alaskan wilderness. Everyone had always ridden him about his control, how he was so human and worried about his soul. Bella believed in him, treated him like a person regardless of his vampire nature or not. Well he was sure Bella would be proud of him now, letting it all out on the table. He didn't like what he was about to do, but it was the only punishment that meet Jasper's requirements and would have an impact on Alice. It was the last resort in the sophisticated vampire society and a terrible crime in the human one.

"Alice Brandon Cullen Masen, I can't live without you, but you crossed the line and endangered our family. You're my mate, and I love you dearly, but this, is almost unforgiveable." As he spoke he tore off his shirt, used it to tie her hands together. Granted he knew if she wanted she could break free but honestly he was glad the woman wasn't fighting back, because his control was gone and in its place was a dominating male who'd been contained for far too long. One who needed to reclaim his dominance.

"You, my mate aren't going to enjoy this." And neither am I.

A couple of weeks later and Bella was starting to show a little baby bump. Carlisle and Peter spent quite a bit of time over at the Whitlock house and making sure Bella was completely comfortable, even when they told her, her diet alone wasn't enough to sustain the baby. Though none of them liked it, blood was required.

"Jasper…" Bella took her mate's hand as a soft kick hit her. Their little one was certainly active, Peter had figured out that a vampire pregnancy would take a little over two months, and Bella was closely under a month of pregnancy. She hadn't been sick, like a normal human one, but she was a lot hungrier, especially for meat, rare steak specifically.

"I wish there was a way to do an ultrasound, but there's a layer blocking any sort of way to check." Carlisle had taken a more physical way of checking Bella over and Major hated to have the other male's hand on his mate's body. Granted he understood what Carlisle was doing, ensuring his mate's health, it wounded his ego, knowing his mate trusted this male with her health more than him.

I don't like this. She's OUR mate; we should be the one taking care of her. That's our child. Major was growing edgy and more demanding with each passing day, it was as if he knew something was coming and he couldn't prevent it.

Carlisle and Peter are making sure she's safe, I don't like it either but I'm not skilled enough for this, we barely understand it as it is. I'm not risking her life. Though he pretended everything was fine, Jasper had noticed the effects the pregnancy was having on Bella. She refused to see, her only concern was for him and the baby she carried, her own health she entrusted to Carlisle, and Peter was acting as the baby's pediatrician. Carlisle did the best he could to make sure she ate and drank plenty but he was concerned. Peter said she was doing much better than the human woman he's spoken to and that Bella was strong and would pull through fine. Jasper knew Peter wouldn't lie, and perhaps he was only stretching his concerns because the weeks had been perfectly peaceful. Edward had called him and informed him of his and Alice's arrangements, he temporarily had invaded her thoughts, he knew every thought every action, and she was quite literally on house arrest. She wasn't allowed to leave their home, even attaching a tracking device to her wrist. She was dependant on Edward for everything. Jasper could accept that, Edward hadn't wanted to reveal what her first punishment was, but he did. Jasper had been solemn about it, not asking for details knowing Edward probably hated himself for it.

"Hey Cowboy, what's got you making that face?" Bella's teasing voiced brought him out of his thoughts. He turned his attention to her, kissing her forehead.

"Nothing Darlin' just letting my thoughts get the better of me." Bella opened her mouth to say something but she flinched.

"Oh, mmm Jasper," She grabbed his hand and placed it on her small stomach, "Feel that?" He waited a moment, and then he felt it. A small pressure on his palm. His face couldn't contain his smile. "The baby kicked." He bent his head down, whispering to his child,

"Hey kiddo, let's go easy on your momma okay?" He didn't really think the kicking would stop but Bella's gasp and immediately relief was music to his ears.

"I wonder if he can understand us." Jasper posed to question to Carlisle and Peter who honestly couldn't answer him, that wasn't something they had come across. Bella ignored them, she spoke to the baby often, describing their lives and how excited everyone was to meet him.

"You keep calling the baby, him, you don't know if it's a boy or girl." Jasper teased her, one day while she was sitting in the glass room drinking a glass of tea, and a glass of blood.

"I just have a feeling he's a boy that's all."

Edward looked up as Alice entered the room, he truly hated seeing her so broken and lifeless, knowing it was his fault only made it worse for him.

"I know you saw something, I told you, a week ago, I stopped watching you." Edward raised his hand toward her and she rushed to him, cuddling against his chest. It broke his heart to know she needed him and he was still just out of her reach. "But your face says it all. Talk to me Ali, I can't stand this silence between us anymore." She nodded against him, nuzzling his neck.

"You need to go to Jasper and Bella, I didn't really see it, as I can't see Bella anymore, and by that measure Jasper, but I just have a feeling." Edward didn't want to leave Alice alone and he couldn't bring her with him, if he decided to go.

"I'll can stay with the Denali, I don't mind Edward, truly, and I told you I forgave you. I knew what you had to do, and I needed the fix anyway. It was what we all decided." She honestly felt much better now that Edward had control, it was tiring always planning and deciding and fixing and now she could just be Edward's mate, she could Edward's Alice. She still didn't see her life lasting long, sooner or later the Volturi would want to know why she hadn't come back, and why Bella wasn't at their doorstep, but the year was almost up. They would find out from the source, and not her.

"I don't like leaving you." He kissed her forehead and brought his hand up to look at the mark permanently scarring her shoulder. His mark. It both elated him and depressed him. Alice just looked at him, her love beginning to sparkle through her golden eyes. "Alright. In the morning then, I'll leave you with the Denali, please Alice don't do anything stupid. Trust me, this time, Jasper won't be so forgiving." She nodded in agreement, no, she had no more secrets and she definitely didn't want to be the one on the receiving end of Jasper's fury.

Jasper was surprised to hear that Edward was on his way to visit, but Bella lit up at the mention of it and he thought it would be good for her to have some company, not that their house wasn't already full of vampires. Rose, Esme, Charlotte and Bree spent all their time with Bella scowling the internet for baby clothes and nursery ideas, while Emmett and Jasper actually spent their time, when Jasper wasn't with Bella, adding on to the master bedroom, creating a little hallway to another room which would be the nursery. Peter and Carlisle were always checking on Bella that was nothing new, so Edward's visit would be a nice relief from the everyday.

"Edward, Son how is everything?" Esme greeted her son with a hug and kiss, while he shook off his snow-covered coat.

"It's fine, getting along nicely." Though everyone knew what was being asked, no one dared mention it. Edward walked in to greet Bella but suddenly stopped. The new thoughts hitting him for the first time.

"Jasper who else is here?"

Who else is there? I hope I didn't upset or disappoint anyone with the way I settled things with Alice and Edward. She's still on watch, but Edward is her mate and he can't stand the pain he had to put her through. Jasper is of course feeling a little out of it, his instinct is to be the provider, protector, family for his wife but he knows he need the family and so does Bella. I hope ya'll are still with me! Things will be revealed in the Chapter 10. Which is already in the works, I'm at least 100 words in already!
