On Sunday morning Carlisle called Jasper and Alice into his office for her morning check up and once she was lying on the bed he reached forward and gently felt her stomach.

"He's growing," Carlisle smiled.

"I know," Alice giggled.

"Let's get you measured," Carlisle suggested and reached over and grabbed a measuring tape. He wrapped it around Alice's waist and quickly took the measurements and he was surprised to see the measurements had grown by four inches since he had last done them a few days earlier.

"He's getting big," Carlisle commented.

"Is that going to be a problem?" Jasper asked, remembering that Carlisle had wanted them to be the first couple because they were likely to have a smaller child than the other couples.

"I don't think so," Carlisle murmured. "Given that Alice's skin seems to be allowing the baby to grow it isn't an issue."

"Do you have any idea when we can deliver the baby yet?" Alice asked excitedly.

"Not yet," Carlisle said as he laughed at her urgency. "From the size of the baby I am guessing in about another two weeks. It looks like you are about halfway there."

"Only halfway," Alice sighed.

"Patience my dear," Carlisle laughed. "How is everything else going? Are you resting and keeping up the blood?"

"Yes," Alice nodded. "Jasper makes me lie down all the time and I'm consuming half a dozen bags of blood a day."

"Good," Carlisle smiled. "Keep the blood up and watch your eyes. Now he is getting bigger you might find you need to consume more. I'll get some more in just in case you need it."

"Thanks," Alice grinned. "Is there anything else?"

"Eager for your baby shower?" Carlisle teased.

"Yes I am," Alice admitted.

"Okay, that's all," Carlisle smiled. "You can go." Alice just about leapt off the table and Carlisle and Jasper both laughed at her eagerness as she quickly straightened her clothes and then dashed out of the office in search of Rosalie.

Rosalie and Esme threw everyone out of the living room and Jasper, Emmett, Carlisle, Alice and Oliver were all sitting in the front yard when Edward, Bella and Nessie walked out of the forest.

"What are you all doing outside?" Bella smirked when she saw them.

"They threw us out," Emmett pouted as he glanced at the house behind them. "We aren't allowed in."

"I bet I am," Bella grinned.

"I wouldn't risk it," Carlisle laughed. "Alice tried before and if she wasn't pregnant I swear Rose would have thrown her down the stairs."

"That's because the party is Alice's surprise," Bella smirked. "I am part of that so I can go in. Come on Nessie." She held her hand out to her daughter and led her up to the door and when Esme opened the door she smiled at them and pulled them inside before slamming the door shut again.

"She is always right," Edward groaned.

"What wife isn't," Emmett sighed.

"Don't you dare agree with them Jasper," Alice snapped playfully as she elbowed him and the others noticed he had been nodding his head in agreement and laughed at him.

"We have visitors," Carlisle murmured and they turned their attention to the car tyres turning into the driveway and within moments a dark sedan pulled up outside the house. The doors opened and Alice let out a gasp as Peter and Charlotte got out of the car.

"Oh my God, Alice!" Charlotte squealed as soon as she saw them and she raced over to her and hugged her tightly. "I can't believe it, Rosalie was telling the truth. You're pregnant?"

"I am," Alice giggled.

"Oh my," Charlotte gasped and dropped to knees and placed her hands on Alice's swollen stomach. "This is a miracle."

"It is," Alice agreed.

"What are you doing here?' Jasper asked happily as Peter reached them and hugged him.

"Rosalie called and invited Charlotte to the baby shower," Peter explained. "She told us the baby is affecting Alice's visions and we couldn't resist the once in eternity chance of actually surprising her."

"It will never happen again," Alice giggled as Charlotte let her go and she hugged Peter.

"We know," Peter laughed.

"You have a new member of the family," Charlotte grinned as she glanced at the others and noticed Oliver standing there.

"Yes we do," Alice smiled. "Oliver this is Peter and Charlotte, old friends of Jasper's. Peter, Charlotte, this is my son Oliver."

"Hello," Oliver smiled shyly.

"Your son?" Charlotte echoed in shock and glanced at Peter.

"You didn't tell us you had already done this before," Peter frowned at Jasper.

"Oliver is my stepson, Alice's son," Jasper explained. "He was born when she was human and turned fifteen years after her. We only just discovered his existence."

"Amazing," Charlotte smiled. "It's nice to meet you Oliver."

"You too," Oliver replied.

"So when does this party start?" Charlotte asked.

"Soon," Emmett replied. "Rosalie told me to get the guys away from here by two and its quarter to two now so I'm guessing the other women will be arriving shortly."

"What are us poor neglected menfolk doing while this is on?" Peter asked.

"Pfft, poor neglected menfolk," Charlotte teased.

"I've organised a football game," Emmett told him.

"Sounds good," Peter smirked. "As long as I'm on your team."

"Nope," Emmett smirked. "Cullens against the Whitlock/Brandon family and since you're Jazz's friend your on his team to even up the sides."

"Hey, we are still Cullens!" Alice snapped in irritation.

"I didn't mean it like that little one," Emmett said quickly. "It's just a chance for your man and your kid to bond, that's all."

"Alice he was only joking," Jasper sighed.

"Well it wasn't funny!" Alice growled and turned and stalked off away from them.

"I didn't mean anything by it Jazz," Emmett murmured.

"Yeah I know, she's just out of sorts at the moment," Jasper nodded. "I'll be back." He raced after Alice and he found her sitting in the back yard by a pond Esme had recently installed, running her fingers through the water.

"Sweetheart, he didn't mean that the way it sounded," Jasper sighed as he sat down beside her.

"I know," Alice whispered. "But it still hurt because he's right. I'm not really a Cullen."

"Of course you are," Jasper argued.

"No, I'm not," Alice whispered. "All the other Cullens were turned by Carlisle, you and I just appeared on their doorstep and demanded they accept us."

"Alice, they love us," Jasper sighed. "They are our family. Emmett was only joking."

"There had to be some truth to it for him to think of it," Alice murmured.

"No Alice," Jasper said firmly. "All he meant was that Oliver was now a part of our family, he was trying to be nice. It was just classic Emmett and it backfired, that's it sweetheart."

"I guess," Alice sighed. "I overreacted a little, didn't I?"

"You've been through a lot the last few weeks sweetheart," Jasper smiled as he moved his arms around her. "You're allowed to overreact."

"I just want to be me again," Alice whispered as she snuggled into him. "I'm tired of being emotional and fat and not being able to see anything."

"Oh sweetheart, you aren't fat," Jasper said quickly.

"But I'm emotional?" Alice asked and Jasper started to defend himself and then realised she had a cheeky glint in her eyes. "I'm only joking Jazz."

"It'll all be okay sweetheart," Jasper smiled and leaned down and kissed her cheek gently.

When Jasper and Alice walked back around to the front yard only the men were standing there and Emmett grinned when he saw them.

"Little one, I am so sorry," he said instantly.

"Its fine Emmett," Alice smiled at him.

"Rose wants you inside," Emmett added. "We'll be back later."

"Okay, have fun guys," Alice grinned and watched as the men raced off into the forest before she turned and walked inside. She gasped as she stepped into the living room and saw all the flowers, lanterns and candles that Rosalie and Esme had lovingly decorated the living room with.

"Here's our guest of honour," Rosalie announced and skipped quickly to Alice's side and looped her arm around Alice's. Alice smiled as Rosalie led her into the room and she stopped when she saw all the people sitting there.

"Oh," she whispered, completely overwhelmed at how many people had turned up. Sue and Leah Clearwater sat together on one couch and on the couch beside them sat Tanya, Carmen and Kate. On the couch beside them sat Charlotte with Esme and Alice gasped when she saw Angelina sitting with them.

"Angelina?" she whispered in shock.

"Hello darling," Angelina murmured as she stood up gracefully and walked over to Alice.

"How did you get here?" Alice asked in shock.

"Marcel and I decided it was time we flew on a plane," Angelina smiled. "What an experience that was. But you are worth it. I cannot believe you are defying the odds and having your own child with your Jasper. I am so happy for you darling, I knew you and Jasper would amount to something special."

"Thank you," Alice whispered. "It is so wonderful to see you."

"You too darling," Angelina smirked and stepped forward and hugged Alice tightly.

"I didn't see Marcel outside," Alice frowned as they broke apart.

"No your brother, Edward?" Angelina replied. "He took Marcel out to the clearing early so you wouldn't see him and know we were here."

"I think everyone is taking advantage of the fact you can't see what we are up to so we can surprise you," Charlotte giggled.

"And there are a heap more surprises to come," Rosalie promised as she threw her arm around Alice's shoulder and led her over to the couch and Alice sat down between Charlotte and Esme as she looked at their other guests eagerly.

When the men returned to the house it was after dark and as soon as they walked into the living room they laughed at the wrapping paper strewn everywhere and the pile of baby presents stacked up by the stairs.

"Where did all this come from?" Jasper asked in disbelief.

"Our friends and family," Alice laughed as she got up and walked over to him and circled her arms around his waist.

"And where are we going to put it all?" Jasper whispered to her although everyone heard him anyway.

"Esme says the nursery will be big enough," Alice smirked.

"Which reminds me," Esme added as he got to her feet. "While we have all these extra men here I thought it was time we move you two back into your old room."

"Why?" Alice frowned. "I like our new one."

"Well you can't rest there properly while Rose and I are doing the renovations," Esme explained. "And we need to get started if we are going to have it finished in time for the little one's arrival."

"Oh, of course," Alice nodded.

"I'll go get our stuff moved now," Jasper agreed.

"And the other guys can help," Esme added and although Emmett rolled his eyes and Edward mumbled something under his breath no one argued with her.

"Don't break anything!" Alice warned as the rest of the men trudged up the stairs behind Jasper.

When the moving was finished and the rest of the gifts unwrapped it was time for the guests to start leaving. Sue and Leah were the first ones to go and they were followed quickly by the Denali coven members. Peter and Charlotte offered to drop Marcel and Angelina at the airport on their way out of the state and they all left together after a whirlwind of goodbyes and promises of visits once the baby had arrived. Once everyone had left Jasper insisted that Alice go upstairs and lay down and they walked upstairs together to their old bedroom.

"It's kind of strange being in here," Alice murmured as Jasper shut the door behind them.

"It is, isn't it," Jasper agreed as he led her over to the bed. He helped her lay down and then crawled onto the bed beside her and gathered her into his arms. "Did you have a good time today?"

"Yes I did," Alice nodded and he could feel her happiness and the baby's contentment flowing from them. "We have good friends and family."

"Yes we do," Jasper agreed softly and tightened his arms as he held her, wanting the moment to last for as long as possible.
