The morning sickness lasted about three days, and I couldn't have been more grateful. Today, Alice and I were moving into our new three bedroom apartment; and I must say it would really be nice to get away from Rose. Not only were she and Emmett loud as all hell, but there was just something about her that was off. I wondered occasionally how close she and Edward really were.

Speaking of Rose, she wasn't with us today. Emmett and Jon had offered to help us move, and we readily accepted. Alice had already painted our rooms.

She did her room a cool green with very light blue trim, and mine a soft blue with white trim. For the nursery she had two different choices, depending on if I had a boy or a girl. She was adamant about the fact that I was going to have a boy, but dropped the twin idea. Thank God.

For a girl's room, she wanted to do pink with lace everywhere. I nixed that idea immediately; pink was too cliché in my opinion. Sure, I'd let my baby wear pink, but a pink room was a bit too much. Her next idea was light lavender, with a big drawing of Tinkerbell on one wall; little Tinkerbells on the other 3 walls. I loved that; Tinkerbell was always my favorite character.

For a boy's room, we decided on a mural. It would have rolling meadows, and a cottage on a hill. She had yet to actually draw the mural, so I was a little apprehensive. I knew anything she drew would be gorgeous, though.

Alice was going to paint the baby's room tomorrow; today I was finding out the sex and verifying the number. She had really freaked me out when she mentioned twins; her hunches were too often correct.

Emmett and Jon were thundering in and out of our ground floor apartment, carrying all the furniture and then the smaller boxes. They had almost refused to even let me carry my purse in, but I drew the line at that. Alice was flitting around, incredibly proud of her handiwork. Truth be told, so was I. She had done an excellent job with the painting, and now she was doing a great job telling the guys where to put things. I left them to sort out the apartment and took a short walk. I was behind Jon's building scoping out the scenery when I heard a twig snap. My instincts immediately went on alert, and the hair on the back of my neck stood up. My heart was beating as fast as humanly possible, and my mouth was dry. Until I heard his voice.

"What are you doing out here all alone, sugar?" I turned, relief written all over me.

"Jasper!" I ran up to him and hugged him, forgetting that he didn't know I was pregnant. When he let go, he looked down at my stomach in confusion.

"Not that I'm not thrilled with that type of response, but what's that?" He pointed at my protruding belly, looking so utterly bewildered that I couldn't help but laugh.

"That would be the baby growing in me," I giggled. "And I'm sorry I didn't tell you before. I could never figure out when the right time might be, and then we didn't see each other for a while…" I trailed off, feeling dumber for each second the silence ticked on. Jasper scratched his head, and then shrugged.

"Doesn't change who you are," he said with a small smile. "I don't think, anyway." I didn't think I was supposed to hear that, so I just confirmed his previous statement with a laugh.

"Is there a daddy in the picture that will rip my balls off if I ask you out?" he asked, looking scared.

"No, but there's a couple uncles," I said, grinning. He sighed with relief.

"Uncles I can handle, boyfriends or whatever I can't," he laughed. Then he turned serious. "So will you go out with me? On a date, I mean."

"I don't know," I said slowly. "I mean, I guess one date is okay. But if you want to get close to me, I'm going to need to know that you're okay with this." I rubbed my belly for impact.

"Sure, sure," said Jasper. "Just give me some time to process it, and I should be fine. So, this Friday then?"

"Give me some time to get settled," I laughed. "I have a doctor's appointment today to find out the sex if you want to come," I added hesitantly. I didn't know if he'd want to do that type of thing with me so soon, but it couldn't hurt to ask. Luckily, he did.

"Sure, I'd like that," he said, smiling. "Just let me change out of my work clothes and I'll meet you…when?" I checked my watch.

"Oh shit! We're leaving in about five minutes. I can't believe I lost track of time! My brother's probably freaking out. Meet me by the car you saw us at the last time, okay? See you soon!" I called, walking briskly back to my apartment.

"Where the hell have you been?" boomed Emmett. I cringed internally.

"I was just taking a walk around, trying to familiarize myself with the area," I told him apologetically. "I'm sorry, I lost track of time. Ali, we have to go, are you ready?"

"Yup!" she called. "Just let me…ah, there it is! Okay, let's go!" We both kissed Jon and Emmett on their cheeks and thanked them for helping us.

"Make yourselves at home," I called as we ran out the door. When we got to the car, Jasper was already waiting.

"What's he doing here?" whispered Alice with a grin.

"I invited him. He asked me out today!" I squealed.

"Oh my God! Did you say yes? When did you see him?" She gasped. "You weren't checking out the scenery," she accused.

"Well, actually I was…at first. Then he came along," I said dreamily. When she elbowed me, I laughed and got in the passenger seat. Alice and Jasper said their hellos, and we were off. Jasper kept us laughing throughout the entire trip. Once we got to the doctor's, however, he was silent.

"You okay?" I whispered to him after I had signed in.

"I'm fine," he said. "Just not entirely comfortable with doctors." I tentatively took his hand, and he latched on gratefully.

"Isabella Swan?"

The three of us got up and headed in. Dr. Cullen walked in and smiled when he saw Jasper.

"Well, hello. Is this the father, Bella?" he asked. I blushed…of course.

"No, this is Jasper. He's a friend of mine and Alice's." They shook hands, and when Dr. Cullen listened to the heartbeat Jasper looked a little green.

When the ultrasound picture came up on the screen though, Jasper looked positively entranced.

"Is that…? And that! And what about that…?" was all he could say. If you didn't know better, you would think the baby was his. I liked the idea of that; probably more than I should have.

"Would you like to find out the sex today?" asked Dr. Cullen.

"Yes please," I managed, my voice quivering.

"Congratulations," he smiled. "It's a boy."
