If I were a boy

I think I could understand

How it feels to love a girl

I swear I'd be a better man

If I Were A Boy – Beyonce

Alice POV

The Christensen's wedding was fast approaching and I ran around making sure finishing touches were on everything. I was two weeks ahead of schedule but I needed to impress Clara Ford. It was now Saturday morning and Jasper and I were getting ready for our planned day.

"So, are you girls meeting us for dinner or no?" Jasper asked as he shaved his face and I tried to tame my beastly hair.

"That sounds fun." I yawned. "God, what I wouldn't do for a cup of coffee." I went to leave the bathroom-that I had to share with Jazz-in search of something to wear.

"More like a couple hours sleep." He said under his breath but loud enough he knew I would still hear. I turned to face him and he had a sheepish look on his face before he resumed shaving.

"Honey, I'm fine." I smiled to try and reassure him.

He stopped again and looked at me with a serious glare. "I hope for the baby's sake you're right." He said kinda coldly and went back to his task.

He was mad because I hadn't come home from work til after 11 o'clock last night and didn't even bother to call him. I had gotten use to being on my own sort of and he was never this protective of me when we were living in Port Angeles, maybe it was the bigger city or maybe it was the baby both were excellent reasons to be pissed so I accepted his tone this morning.

"I'm going to go get dressed, are you coming down to the lobby for breakfast with me?" I said in a shy voice.

He rinsed his face off and dried it before turning and giving me a small smile.

"Yeah, I'm sorry I got mad." He came over and pulled me into a hug. "I was just worried that's all, I don't know what I would do if anything happened to you or the baby." He was looking me in the eye and I could tell that was really the only reason behind his anger.

"Don't tell anyone this...but maybe you're right." I let go of him to go sit on the bed he came and sat next to me.

"What do you mean?" He knew what I was talking about but he was going to make me say it.

"It's possible...that maybe...I'm doing too much and it's all catching up with me now that I'm almost in my third trimester." I finally managed to say.

"I'm sorry, I still didn't hear you?" He put his hand to his ear mocking me.

"Yes you did." I smiled and shoved him as he too laughed.

"Alice, it's ok to take a break once in a while." All seriousness in his voice.

"I know, and I promise I will, just...after I land the Ford account." I stated my terms.

"Only when that happens then you will say after the Ford wedding, and by that time the baby will already be here one way or another." He didn't sound convinced.

"No, I can't keep all this up if I expect to have a healthy mature baby, and I'm sure it's only a matter of time before Dr. Stevens says something to me." I told him. "I'm hoping Clara will want to wait a few months before starting but I don't know if she's got a date in mind or not."

"I know if you get this it's going to be really big money for you. It's just...I need you to take care of the baby right now, I'm not asking you to drop the account by any means, I'm not. All I'm saying is our baby needs you to help it grow, I'm asking you to do that for him or her and me too because Alice, I can't do this part, you're the only one who can. When the baby gets here go nuts with work if you want." He tossed his hands up in the air as he laughed. "Can you do that for me?" He now held my hand in his on my lap.

I didn't want him to think that the most important thing was my career because it wasn't, I just like doing something I'm good at and happen to get paid in a three figure salary without commissions. This one account though could be more then all that.

"Of course, Jasper I love you and the baby more then any job. But I've seen how much they plan on paying." I hadn't told him this yet because I didn't have it in the bag but maybe if he knew he'd understand.

"How much?" He curiosity got to him.

"About $200,000 if everything goes the way they want, it's more then I will make in a year, it will pay off a large portion of a house." I smiled thinking about it but I had to remember it wasn't set in stone. He eyes grew wide as I told him the amount.

"Holy shit." Was all he said.

"And it's not just my money, it ours." He corrected his earlier statement about it being mine.

"No, Alice, it's yours." He shook his head.

"Jasper, for 7 years we've put everything in one account, just because this money isn't doesn't change that anymore." I argued.

"Well, I'm still getting a job and doing something, I'm not mooching off you or anything." He clarified.

"I never saw it that way." I gave him one of my looks he loved as I ran my fingertips up his thigh. We had a while before the gang showed up, Edward, Emmett and Rosalie were all coming together and we were to break off here so I decided to give in to my hormones if he would.

"I swear as soon as I have a chance to look I'm getting one." He tried to keep his composure as my fingers continued to dance around his crotch and I closed the distant between our faces.

"I don't doubt that." I said my breathing growing heavy as I brushed his lips with my own. One of his hands was now gripping my thigh and the other my shoulder as he pulled me in for a longer kiss.

"You better not." He said between kisses and he pushed me down on my back.

I moved more toward the middle as I tried to get my shirt off. I was having trouble so Jazz helped me by ripping one of the straps off it when he pulled it over my head. He had my pants off moments later and he came back in for a much harder kiss. He looped his fingers in the side of my panties and pulled them down to my ankles where I kicked them off. His dragged his fingers up my leg painfully slow finally and arrive at my clit.

His fingers sent shivers up and down my spine from the pure pleasure of it, I couldn't help but let out a loud moan and bucked my hips unconsciously. He gave me another kiss this one more passionate and he left my lips quickly and started a trail of them down my neck, past my breasts, over my belly, and stopped to tease my clit some more. He opened my legs wider and spread my lips with his fingers, his tongue was Jasper's secret weapon to everything. It didn't matter how many times he ate me out I always came within the first five minutes. He was driving me mad as his tongue darted in and out of my folds.

"Oh my god Jazz." I huffed out.

"You taste so good baby." His voice slightly muffled.

He massaged my thigh and pushed it back several times when my legs tried to close from the ecstasy and he returned to light flicks of his tongue over my clit that made my legs twitch when he hit the nerve, I was moments away, no seconds.

"Fuck!" I screamed when I came and my breathing very irregular. I was shocked when he came and laid down next to me, entwining one of my hands. "Wait you-"

"I just wanted to really eat you out, I haven't had a chance to since we've been back together." He cut me off with a smile and played with a lock of my hair. "But Emmett knows what room we're in so if we don't want him to call us out on it if we get caught then we better get dressed in case they get here early." We both rolled our eyes know just what Em would say.

We got dressed for the day and headed down to the continental breakfast they had along with a fancy restaurant that was open all day but we had plans today so we opted for the quick meal.

We weren't in the room long before there was a loud pounding on the door that could only be Em. I opened the door to three smiles all getting in line to hug me and touch my stomach, Rose take the longest. We sat for a little bit chatting about mindless things when I realized we had actually been sitting there for almost any hour, it was already noon.

"Are you ready to go?" Rose asked as the guys showed no signs of moving from the couch.

"Yeah, I just need to grab my purse." I said going back into the bedroom to get it and went over to Jasper who was sitting in a chair. "I'll see you at dinner?" I leaned in and asked.

"Yeah, in the lobby right?" He turned to look at me inches from my face. I shook my head in agreement. "Ok, I'll see you then. I love you." He smiled before giving me a long kiss.

"I love you too." I looked into his beautiful eyes before standing straight again.

"And I love you little baby." He directed to my tummy and put his hands on it which I covered with my own and squeezed for a second.

"I'll see you guys tonight." I headed for the door. "And be good." I turned to point at them like children.

"We will babe I promise." Jasper called.

"Emmett, I'm not in the mood so you know what you can get away with." Rose said digging into her large purse for something.

"Ok, I love you." He didn't give any lip, that didn't happen very often so I thought maybe he got in trouble already today and it was only 12.

"I love you too." She said before looking up at me, "I'm ready whenever you are."

"Alright, we're taking the jeep if that's alright, I figured if we got something big it won't fit in my car." I already had it planned out.

"That's cool, oh I did some internet surfing and found a few cute little shops we should look at, I got maps too." Rose said as we closed the door.

"Sounds good, I need to spend some money, it'll make me feel better." I confirmed.

"That's my girl." She smiled excited at my enthusiasm.

Yes, a large shopping spree was what I needed.

Jasper POV

My guy day was getting ready to officially start as soon as Rose and Alice-who was getting her purse-left, I had things I wanted to talk about with just guys and well, right now there was girls in the room. Alice came and leaned over my shoulder.

"I'll see you at dinner?" She batted her lashes at me.

"Yeah, in the lobby right?" I said not moving an inch from her closeness and she nodded confirmation. "Ok, I'll see you then. I love you." I gave her a loving kiss to show her that.

"I love you too." When she stood up I looked at her belly and I decided maybe if I talked to the baby I would feel more connected to it, because right now I was a father-to-be and I was doing alright at that, but I didn't know how to be an actual father and I really didn't feel like one, and I didn't want to tell Alice that was how I felt.

"And I love you little baby." I put my hands on Alice but talking to it felt weird, it was something everyone else did so why couldn't I?

"I'll see you guys tonight and be good." She said stabbing a finger at us.

"We will babe I promise." I tried to hide my smile knowing that we probably wouldn't.

"Emmett, I'm not in the mood so you know what you can get away with." Rose sounded irritated already.

"Ok, I love you." Emmett just gave in, surprisingly.

"I love you too." She didn't even look at him. "I'm ready whenever you are." She told Alice.

"Alright, we're taking the jeep if that's alright, I figured in case we got something big it won't fit in my car." Alice explained to her.

"That's cool, oh I did some internet surfing and found a few cute little shops we should look at, I got maps too." I heard Rose tell her as they shut the door.

"So what's on the agenda today, other then the obvious." Emmett asked with a dangerous smile on his face and Edward who was still silent had one growing too.

"Well I have a few places in mind that I want to check out but I don't know, I guess I never really planned anything." I told them.

"Wait, first you gotta see the new sonograms, Rose told me I had to show you and Edward has to observe, which I would have showed you anyways." He reached into his back pocket and pulled out a handful of photos. "That's Xavier, which I don't know why Rose insisted on that name but she did, hey Jazz do you know?" I looked up shocked and quickly wiped it off my face.

"No, I have no idea, Rose is Rose." I lied.

"That's baby 2 which we have no idea if it's a boy or a girl, and this is baby 3 which is a girl and we don't have a name for her yet and this is one of all three as best as they could get." They looked like aliens to me but I wasn't going to tell Emmett that and risk hurting his feelings, plus mine was younger so it probably looked worse.

"They are very cute Em." I lied again.

"No they're not, they look like blobs or something." He laughed.

"I thought alien." I admitted since he was thinking the same thing. "So what do you guys want to do?"

We all looked at each other for a second before we smiled and ran for the door like a bunch of boys and in the hallway we almost took out a elderly couple who I turned and apologized to before we continued our sprint down the hall to the elevator.

"I need a cigarette." Edward said fidgeting in place.

"I'm sure you do. Tell me did Bella give you your balls back for the day or are the still in her purse?" Emmett crossed his giant arms and laughed at Edward's expense as did I.

"Ha, ha, shut the fuck up." He replied pissed off as we got in.

"No remember Emmett, now they are in the diaper bag." I couldn't help myself and we both giggled like girls on the way down.

"You two laugh now but yours are well on their way to ending up in the same place." He just shook his head at us.

We both quit laughing when he mentioned that.

"You're a buzz kill." Emmett scowled at Edward who wore a smile.

The elevator opened again as we poured out making for the valet to retrieve Emmett's truck. We decided to get what had to be done finished first then we could have all the fun we wanted til it was time to meet the girls but not before me and Edward enjoyed a cigarette.

We stopped at an open house in a nice community that was in our price range. It was a two bedroom two bath with a finished basement and a nice backyard. It had big open windows-which Alice would love-there was two other couples looking at it when the three of us went in the house.

The realtor gave us a funny look before approaching us.

"May I help you?" She asked kinda snobby.

"I'm here to check out the house." I told her with a smile.

"This neighborhood is mostly families, not roommates." She looked at Edward and Emmett.

"I'm looking for me and my girlfriend, we're about to have a baby." I had a bit of a tone in my voice now.

"Oh, in that case, you may fit here, there are several other young couples on this street." She now had a smile on her face and looked happy I was there. I wasn't stupid.

"I don't want you to try to sell me on it now, if I like it I will decide without you nagging me, and I will be going through the company to purchase it and not you." I smiled at her. "I'll let you know if I have any questions." I left her near the living room and went to look downstairs.

"What a bitch." Emmett said possibly loud enough for her to hear, but it was a fact and not just trash talk so she should hear. We looked around for another fifteen minutes but nothing about the place really jumped out at me so without saying a word to the 'bitch' we left and went on to the next place which I didn't like either, or the following three.

When we got to the last place on the list I had all but gave in to the fact that I sucked at this, but when I saw it there was an instant connect. I could see the cars parked in front of the garage and us getting ready to leave for work with the baby in tow on the way to daycare.

The house itself was white and like a few of the others there was big windows-maybe bigger-when we walked in there was a long hallway with the stairs at the end, to the right was the living room, and to the left the kitchen and dining areas. Behind the stairs there was also what looked like a four seasons porch and a sitting room. I loved it already, it had 2 1/2 baths and four bedrooms, the basement-from what the flier said-was almost finished.

We went into the kitchen and there was a sliding door that led out to a large porch and into the yard which was fenced in.

"Hello, my name is Emily." The realtor said. She was a sweet Native American woman with pigtail braids and she didn't dress like a business woman but more like an average person and I liked that.

Hi, I'm Jasper, and this is Emmett and Edward" I shook her hand and pointed to the guys.

"Are the three of you looking for a house, or two of you?" She corrected herself and I immediately knew why.

"No, no, no, we're not gay, they're my girlfriend's brothers, and one of them is my brother-in-law, they're just helping me look." I smiled. I couldn't believe she thought we were gay, all three of us. Sure Edward looked like a fairy with how much time he spent doing his hair every morning, but me and Emmett didn't fit the part.

"Oh, my god, I'm so sorry." She was mortified.

"Don't worry about it." I told her.

"Well wait, no, I want to know; do we really look gay?" Emmett stopped me and asked her hoping her answer was no.

"Yeah, do we?" Edward added.

"You yes, you already knew that, but me and Jazz, do we?" Em looked at his brother then back at Emily.

"No, none of you do, I-I," She stammered.

"You don't have to answer that, they're just giving you a hard time." I waved them off and a smile finally returned to her face. "So me and my girlfriend are expecting a baby, and we're looking for a place that we can get into like now." I educated her.

"Alright, well as you can see the house is available immediately and the asking price is $350,000, there's a fenced in backyard making it perfect for kids, and the master bedroom has it's own bathroom upstairs."

I looked around at everything in the kitchen trying to picture me and Alice here 20 years from now.

"What are thinking about Jasper?" Emmett asked as I started to move.

"I'm thinking that Alice is going to love it here. Has anybody else expressed interest in the house?" I wanted to know.

"There have been a few people in looking but no one really wants it." She was honest and I liked that.

"How does a $70,000 down payment sound?" That was the amount given to me by Alice in what we could spare right now.

Emily had her mouth hanging wide open. "You haven't even seen the rest of the house yet." She told me.

"I know, but I'm asking you, if I put $90,000 down will that secure the house?" I repeated my question.

"Um, yes, but they were only asking for $70,000 are you sure you want to put the extra on there?"

"Yeah Jazz are you? I mean is Alice's income going to be able to take that big of a hit so soon?" Edward butted in.

"I agree with Edward on this one, can it?" Emmett wanted to know as well.

"She got a large sum back from the condo's and once she gets the Ford account her payday could pay for half of this place it's fine." I decided to tell them. "It's fine." I looked back over at Emily.

"Shit, that's a lot of money to spend on a wedding planner." Edward couldn't believe it.

"So do you guys think she'll like this place, and do you think I can get away with buying it without her here?" They knew Alice as well as I did and I valued their input.

"I think she will be happy it's one less thing she'll have to worry about." Emmett spoke up with a smile.

"It's a nice neighborhood, if everything is legit with the place then yeah, I'd say she'd like it after she and mom gut it and do all that shit they do with houses."

"If you want to wait until your girlfriend has a chance to see it, you can still put a bid on it." Emily informed me.

"No, that means someone else can take it and I don't want to risk that." I shook my head. I thought about the possibility that Alice would get mad at me for buying a house without her present and without seeing it since it was her money after all and made up my mind quickly.

"Emily, you just sold yourself a house." I stuck my hand out and she took it with much gratitude. I was probably the easiest sale she's ever made.

After all the paperwork was filled out Emily handed me my copy of things and told me I could come back and sign for everything when the credit check came back and the down payment was in place-all of which I was positive would come back fine, me and Alice we're always financially responsible it came from never have much extra money to burn. I knew I had just bought a house on impulse but I still didn't care, I was confidant Alice would love the place as much as I did.

"Sweet, now that is done I need to run and find Rosalie a present." Emmett said when we got back in the truck.

"Why?" I wondered.

"Because she's my wife and I love her." That was a lie.

"It's because he told her she was fat." Edward snitched on him trying to contain his laugh.

"You did what?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"I didn't say she was 'fat' I said she was 'large and in charge'." He said the last part much quieter.

"No." I busted out in laughter with Edward as I pictured Rose's expression.

"I wasn't being mean, she asked me to go answer the door when Edward got there this morning and I said 'Yes ma'am you are large and in charge' and she took it the wrong way." He was still trying to defend himself.

"It's the same thing Emmett." Edward managed to say.

"No, it's not." He shook his head.

"I think it is." I chimed in. "So what are you going to get her?"

"I don't know, what do you get your pregnant wife when you make her really mad? Edward?" He looked over at his brother.

"Don't look at me I never called Bella fat." He was still smiling. "Jasper, have you called Alice fat?" He looked back at me.

"Nope." I looked up at Emmett's eyes in the rear view mirror.

"Well what do I do?" He acted like this was the first time he bought Rose something to say sorry with.

"Browse I guess, but don't spend all day doing it, I want to have a beer or ten before we leave." Edward made a face thinking about it.

"Alright then what if I drop you guys off at the hotel and while I'm getting a gift you two go to the store and get beer?" His plan wasn't bad.

"Jazz can you get to Alice's car?" Edward asked.

"Yeah." I confirmed.

"Then that's the new plan then." Edward decided for us.

We headed back to the hotel and Em dropped us off at the valet.

"Alright so I'll be back in like an hour, try not to get too far ahead of me, you two know you can't hold your liquor."

"Shut up and go buy your apology." Edward said taking out another cigarette.

I walked up to the valet stand and handed them the card Alice gave me earlier for her car.

"You want to get some coffee first before we go to the store, I need a pick me up." I asked Edward.

"Dude, you know coffee is like my mistress right?" Edward laughed.

Edward snuffed his cigarette when we saw the little lime green beetle pull up and we got in and headed back out into the big city.

"How do you just all the sudden become a dad?" I asked as I walked with Edward after we stopped by a coffee stand.

"I don't know, you just do." Was all he answered as he took a drag off his cigarette. "And trust me, in no time they will be all over you about everything. And you see this." He held up his cigarette to show me. "Forget about it, I can't have one of these unless I know I'm gonna be gone for at least two hours. Bella won't even let me go out on the porch, so between you, me, and Emmett I never did this." He said while he stepped on the finished smoke. "But don't get me wrong, being a father is amazing, I can't even describe how it feels. You think it's never going to catch on because for women something clicks the minute they find out but for us guys it's when you finally get to see what all the fuss is about does it hit you."

I had hoped Edward was right because at the present time I didn't feel much other then scared.

"What I don't get is how Emmett isn't all freaked out by this." I felt alone in that department, Edward seemed to have done alright and as far as I could tell Em was holding up too.

"Oh don't worry he shits his pants on a daily basis about it." A smile turned up the edges of Edwards face.

"I just feel like a shitty father for not feeling more like a father and the baby hasn't even arrived yet. Do you know what I mean?"

"Like I said it will all hit you when the baby gets here. Plus you get the added bonus I didn't."

"What's that?"

"Ali has another pregnant woman to share it all with, chances are you'll get off the hook about a lot of things." He must have seen the look of worry still on my face. "I've known you since I was five Jazz, you'll do just fine." He tried to reassure me as he added another sugar packet to his coffee. "And look on the bright side, in about 15 years the kids gonna hate you anyway, I'm sure you can remember what it's like." He hit me in the shoulder and laughed at his own joke. I couldn't help but smile too.

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

Alice POV

"So how's Jasper taking all the baby stuff?" Rosalie asked me as we scanned the newborn racks.

"I don't know, I mean he's been here what almost two weeks, and he still has that deer-in-the-headlights-look sometimes, which I guess I should understand because he's only know that long but I mean it's not like I'm still a size 2." I said a little disappointed.

"Alice, look at me, I'm the size of an ocean liner and sometimes you'd think Emmett only found out yesterday." She sounded a little bummed out when she mentioned her size too.

It was all true, Rosalie was looking closer and closer to birth everyday when she really had around three more months to go, and I knew it was due to the fact she was having triplets that she was so humongous but I was a little worried. I was a small girl and if I even got close to being that big I was sure I'd go top heavy.

Of course she's going to be bigger you idiot, like you said she's having triplets. But how big will I get?

"What do you think about this, if I got each one in a different color? Like one blue, one pink, and I don't know one neutral color like...yellow or green?" It appeared she wasn't satisfied with her own conclusion.

"Still don't know the sex of baby 2?" I asked.

"No! Every time we go in they say 'well I just can't see around the others, so I guess for now it will be a mystery.'" Surprises weren't Rosalie forte and it was making baby shopping difficult for her.

"Why don't you get two blue and two pink? You can always return one later."

"That would work wouldn't it?" She nodded to herself and grabbed two of each.

Hey, Rose?" I asked looking at a poster of a dad and his tiny baby and it got me wondering about things.

"Yeah." She didn't even look up from the packaging she was checking out.

"Do you really think I did the right thing taking him back? Do you think he'll be able to handle it all?" Tears started to sting my eyes and now she looked up.

"Of course he will, you know how Jasper is, it takes him a bit to process things. and between you and me Alice, I know losing you was the hardest thing he's ever had to deal with. I mean you two have known each other longer then not. I don't know how you guys would survive without one another." For once Rosalie wasn't judging. I half expected her to yell at me for leaving in the first place, but she still hadn't, then again she was still pregnant. "You know as well as I do that me and Jazz shared everything growing up including the womb so I feel safe saying that: yeah, he'll be fine, maybe not at first but I know he's happy again, and he's so excited for the baby."

I knew she was more than likely right but it still didn't make me feel any better.

"Ali, this is suppose to be one of the happiest times of your life, even if it's not in the traditional order. This isn't the 1900's were it's shameful to have a baby out of wedlock, it's 2010, the human race has evolved over the years." She threw her arms up with the outfits in her hands.

"Yeah, I guess you're right, besides, I wouldn't want to be married just because we're having a baby." I decided to drop it.

We made our purchases and left to go to another store that consisted of mostly furniture for a nursery. Since I still needed to find a crib, changing table, rocking chair and other things of that variety I thought it would be a good place to get it done at if I could, then again I had no idea what the nursery looked like to even decorate it. It had to match the feel of the room so going about this blindly didn't help.

"Hello, mommies my name is Heidi, are we shopping for cribs today?" I very tall thin brunette who face the face of a runway model asked us when we walked in.

"She is, I've got all mine." Rosalie pointed to me. "She actually doesn't have any furniture yet so she really needs to look at sets."

I looked at her to tell her that I could speak for myself, but I let it go because I would have said the same thing too. "I'm Alice this is my sister-in-law Rosalie." I said instead.

"It's nice to meet you, are these your first babies?" She made conversation.

"Yeah, but I'm having triplets." Rose loved telling people that.

"How fun." She smiled. "How far apart are you then?" She asked.

"About six weeks." I responded.

"It must be nice to go through it together, but back to why you're here. Do you know what style and color you might want?" She turned to walk over to the displays.

"That's the thing, I'm staying in a hotel right now until we can find a new place so I don't know what the room itself will look like." I tried explaining. "In my condo I was thinking about something in espresso, I flipped through some magazines and I liked a set named Sorelle Bolero, do you carry that?" I don't know how I remembered the name but I really liked it.

"We do, and we also have it in espresso, it doesn't come with a changing table though but we have one that matches it if you're looking to buy one of those too." She was trying to up-sell but I needed it all anyways and since they had what I was originally interested in I figured I'd get it and if later I didn't think it fit I would return it and get something different.

"I am, and I can tell you already I'll take the set if it's the same thing, do you have a picture I can look at to make sure?" I wanted it to be right.

"I do, I'll run to the back and grab the catalog for you. Here is the table I was telling you about." She stopped walking in front of a very beautiful changing table and she was right it matched perfectly, the angles of the wood were the same as the set I was thinking about.

"Well that was easy." Rose said leaning up against a crib while we waited. "Are you going to do a theme?" She wondered taking a sip of her Big Gulp she got at the 7 Eleven a few stores ago I knew pretty soon she would be begging for a restroom.

"I don't know, I like the idea of it but I don't know what I would use."

"You should do Winnie-the-Pooh, Jasper loved it when our mom would read that to us before bed." She suggested.

"Well maybe he will, remember he was going to finish it, I'm just do some shopping." I reminded her of Jasper's desire to do it himself.

"Yeah, but that was when you guys were in the condo, are you going to have enough time to let him do it when you do find a place?" Her question was a good one, and one I didn't have an answer for.

"I don't know, I mean we've only been in the hotel for a week and I got a lot of money back from the condo to avoid me taking that Caius to court and I also got the estimate for the Ford account." I hadn't told Rose this yet and I figured it was only a matter of time before she found out.

"How much?" She was very curious.

"After taxes something around $150,000 maybe." I once again confessed.

"Oh, my god Alice!" She said a little too loud.

"Shh, I don't have it yet but the odds are looking good." I didn't want a scene.

"Is this the one you were talking about?" Heidi returned with the catalog and pointed to a picture in the book.

"Yes it is." I smiled happily. "So I'll take the set and the table both in espresso." I pointed to the items

"Ok, if you want to pull your vehicle up to the door, we'll have someone load it for you. Is there someone who can carry the boxes when you get home?" She sounded concerned.

"Yeah, my boyfriend and brothers are going to be there." I assured her.

"My husband is all muscle." Rosalie felt the need to add about Em.

"Alright, that's good because they weight over 75 pounds each and there are I think six boxes, we don't want you two hurting yourselves so I was going to say if you want it delivered we can do that as well." She offered.

"Oh no, I think the guys can do some of the work since we automatically have to do the worst of it." Rose declined and I nodded my head in agreement, we did have to do all the work.

"Let's get you rung up then." She headed back to the front of the store toward the registers and we got in line.

"I'll go get the jeep." Rose stuck her hand out for the keys.

"Can you get behind a wheel?" I wasn't trying to be mean but I didn't want something to happen to her or the babies.

"Barely." She admitted. "Oh my god did I tell you Emmett called me fat this morning before we left the house?" She took what I said the wrong way I guess based on her new topic.

"Really? He flat out told you that you were fat?" I doubt that was what really happened. Emmett was afraid of Rosalie.

"No." She said much quieter. "But it's what he meant." She piped back up.

"What did he actually say?"

"That I was 'large and in charge', that's why I was mad at him when we left the hotel." She was actually mad. "He didn't say it mean but it's like I already know I'm the size of the Titanic and I'm not done growing yet, I don't need Em to remind me." Now she seemed more sad about it.

"I don't know what it's like to be that big Rose so I can't say much about it other then you have to remember it's three babies making you look that big, and the bigger you get the bigger the babies are and that's a good thing right?" I tried to remind her of that.

"Yes, it's a very good thing." She smiled not to worried about it anymore. "So I guess you should probably go get the jeep." She said in defeat.

"I will after we check out." I moved up in line and it was my turn.

"Your total will be $2,769.58." The cashier told us after she ran up the bar codes and I handed her my credit card that had a large limit on it.

"Congratulations girls and good luck with motherhood." Heidi told us before leaving the counter.

"Bye." I told her as she walked away. "Heidi said that someone would load it for us?" I asked the woman.

"Yes, they will, what kind of vehicle do you drive?" She asked.

"It's a silver Jeep." I replied.

"If there isn't someone out there already they will be in a few minutes. Thank you and have a nice day." She said with a smile.

"You too." We left the counter and headed back out to the parking lot.

"So do you think Jazz will find anything today?" Rose wondered.

"I don't know, I kinda wish that if he did that he just bought it, I don't really have the time to participate much and he knows what I would like and what our price range is." It was exactly that, a wish but I there was that saying; a girl can dream.

"Maybe he will." She tried to reason with me.

"Eh." I shrugged my shoulders like I didn't care, but I really hoped he did find something.

"Are you ready to head back and see what the guys are up to and eat?"

"Yeah, I'm starving, oh, Rosalie wait until you have the filet mignon it's to die for and you can cut it with a fork like butter."
