It had taken! I didn't tell anyone the first week after I knew, except for Jasper, and I swore him to secrecy, but I was dying to tell someone and I figured puppy deserved to be the first to know. I must have sent the stock of EPT up by half again that first week with all the tests I took, just to keep confirming it, afraid I was seeing things, but after the 10th one came up positive so damn fast I barely had time to put it down, I knew it true.
I called him to come over to the house under the guise of needing him to pick up some lights for the scene him an Marcus were going to film later in the week. Mark was gone to the store picking up a few things we needed for the house and I don't think I even let puppy get all the way out of his car before I grabbed him and hugged him.
"Rose! What's the matter?"
"It took! I'm pregnant!"
"Oh my God! I'm so happy for you, gal! This is the best news ever! Have you told Marcus yet?"
'No! We aren't going to tell anyone until after I get to the doctor and get it all confirmed and make sure everything is okay, but I thought you should be the first to know."
"Wow! I'm honored. Rose, I hope it all works out for you. I'm so damn happy for you and I can't wait to see you big as a house with your babies, I know you will be a fantastic mom."
"I owe you so much Jasper; we really appreciate this more than you will ever know."
"Hey, it's what family does for family. So when do you see the doctor?"
"I have an appointment this afternoon, so maybe I will be able to say something after that, I'm just soo afraid to jinx things."
"Rose, don't worry. One way or another, we are going to get you a baby or two. I just know it."
He was right. At my appointment I found out that it looked like everything was just fine, except that they had implanted 2 hoping one might take, and both had taken.
I decided not to tell anyone else for a while. The doctor warned me that it was still very early in and I could lose them due to a long laundry list of reasons that I really didn't even want to think about. Every time I went to the bathroom I was afraid to look down, afraid that I would see the beginning of the end of our hopes and dreams, but luckily, nothing.
Ed had recovered from his accident and was almost a different man. I wasn't sure I liked it. He was subdued and less snarky and he was deferential to Jasper and Mark to the point of almost kissing their asses, but not in an entertaining way, in a sad and pathetic way. We all missed the Ed that was always playing jokes on everyone and making comments. The new Ed seemed apologetic for everything and it had to stop.
"Puppy, can we talk a minute?"
"Sure Rose, I'll be right over."
Jasper was the only one who should be worried about the missing phone, he had the most on the line if that video ever got out and he was actually the calmest about it. He had said that Ed getting hurt and all the stuff they had faced with Charlie had helped him to realize that there was more to life that what people thought of you and some career. If didn't matter to him and he wasn't freaking out or upset, then why was Ed?"
"Hey Rose, how are you feeling."
"I feel great for someone who is carrying twins."
"Oh my God! Are you kidding, both of them took?"
"Yeah, both of them took."
"Wow! That is incredible. So when are you going to tell everyone?"
"I was thinking I would tell Marcus and Bella and Ed, after we finish filming tomorrow night and everyone else at breakfast the next day."
"That sounds good. I still can't believe we are actually filming tomorrow."
"Well, you saw for yourself, the hits on your pictures and presales are really high. You are going to make bank on it in short order. "
"I'm still nervous. What if I hurt him? It's been a long time since I have done that and I just don't know what my control will be like."
"Well, have you thought about switching it up, he would be very gentle and I'm telling you, that would send sales through the roof."
"I've thought about it, but I don't know. I guess we will just have to get into the scene and see what happens. Maybe Ed will have some ideas."
"That's the main reason I called you over here today, we have to do something about Ed, he's is not himself and I don't know what is wrong with him but I don't like it."
"I've noticed it too; he's just not Ed anymore. Have you spoken to Carlisle?"
"Not yet but I'm about ready to, he's so damn hard to catch with all the extra shifts he's been working at the hospital. I left a message for him on his phone this morning, but he hasn't called me back yet."
"Well, have you tried talking to Ed? I told him that I wasn't worried about the video getting out, that even if those girls did have the video, the minute they tried to do anything with it, we would just threaten them with a bunch of legal repercussions and let the cards fall where they may. I told him that life is too short to be worried about stuff like that, but he said that I was just "being nice", if that fucker knows anything about me; he should know that I'm not capable of just being nice for the hell of it.

I fucked up. I fucked up so badly and now my friends were at risk of being embarrassed and maybe having their lives ruined because of my stupidity. If I hadn't been in such a hurry to get into Carlisle's pants that night, and maybe spent a little more time doing what I should have been doing, like downloading that video off my phone onto my computer where it would be safe instead of leaving it on a phone that was easily lost or stolen because I couldn't even remember to keep a damn security code on it. I didn't deserve to have friends like Jasper and Marcus, after all the teasing and harassment I had inflicted on them over the past couple of years, then losing a 10 minute clip of video that could out them both as something they aren't, they both graciously forgiven me and told me not to even worry about it! How in the hell could I not worry about it? I always downloaded and wiped the video of me and Carlisle off my phone or the camera, so why had I treated them any differently? Because I took them for granted, that's why. I'm an asshole.
"ED! Hey Ed! Are you home?"
"Yeah Rose, I'm back here in my room."
"What the hell are you doing back here, it's after lunchtime and I need someone to go with me to pick up some decent bedding for Bella and Jaspers bedroom, that stuff they have won't do for the shoot and I need your flair for what will look good."
"Hey! Our bedroom looks just fine ill have you know."
"Oh hey Jasper, I didn't hear you come in."
"I was being quiet. Nice room Ed, I don't think I've ever been in here. You guys sure have a lot of mirrors and metal."
"Oh that's nothing Jasper, come over here and look."
"Roossseeee! Don't go traumatizing the straight man."
"Oh can it Ed, he's not as straight as he pretends to be, right Jasper?"
"I don't know, maybe."
Say what? Okay, my interest in life just got reestablished.
"Jasper is afraid he will hurt Marcus if he tops first, and we are trying to figure out the scene for tomorrow night, so you need to get over yourself and be prepared to slam back into things (so to speak), and handle your directing duties, and if you are sitting around having a pity party constantly, we are afraid you aren't going to be able to do that.
"YOU are afraid you are going to hurt Marcus?"
"Well now you did it puppy."
"Hey, at least he's laughing again."
"I'm afraid he's going to hurt himself if he doesn't stop soon."
"I think I'm going to hurt him if he doesn't stop soon. So what were you going to show me over here? Holy Mother of God! Is that a pommel horse? Are those riding crops? Oh damn you Rose! How the hell am I supposed to be able to get it up now that I have seen that? What the hell would you even use that for? Wait! No! . ! Ed?"
"But Jasper! I was actually going to incorporate that in one of the videos. If you look over on the far side, you can see there are a couple of leather cuffs that are in just the right place of either a big man's wrists or a small man's ankles."
"Fuck you, Ed! Fuck you!"
"Now Jasper, how unfair, you are worried about hurting Marcus but not little ole me? Why you BRUTE! I am hurt!"

Uh oh this had the potential to get interesting. I'm sitting my ass down so I have a clear, but safe view of this little bit of fun, Ed may be taller and broader than Jasper, but Jasper had been working out with Marcus, getting in shape and toned so he would look good on camera while they waited for Ed to recover, and Ed had gotten a little flabby. If puppy decided to wrestle with him just for shits and giggles, it would be pretty evenly matched and probably pretty damn funny.
"Oooof! Get off me you weirdo! Your uncle would soo not approve of this! It's a little too close to incest, don't you think? Oh no you don't! You only think you can pin me! Akk! Okay, Okay! Eww!"
Okay, that was surprising. Looks like Jaspers time working out with Marcus had paid off. Poor Ed should be glad it was fairly early in the day and Jasper hadn't been working in the yard.
"If you boys are done making out, can we get this show on the road? We need to get to the mall and get something decent for that bedroom and get the lighting set up for tonight."
"We good, Ed? You get that I forgive you and that it's not a deal? Shit happens man; it's not worth dwelling on and getting depressed over. Right now more than ever we need your smartassed snarky self to help get this show on the road. Just make sure the rest of the stuff goes straight to the computer and no worries."
"God, man. I just feel so damn bad about it. I worry that it's going to cause you problems."
"Look, the only people I worry about it causing problems with are my folks and trust me, when it comes to me, they are used to it, so it's not even a thing. Now, get your ass in the shower and get ready, we have a busy day ahead of us and lots of shit to get done."
"Jeeze! Why don't you two just kiss and make up already! I'm about to barf over here."
"Well, we would, but really, it would be a little too close to incest, and besides, you watching without Bella here? That would be just waay wrong."
"Tmi Jasper, Tmi"
