MAY

BELLA'S POV

I rolled out of bed very awkwardly. I was miserable and the last ultrasound which had been only days after Jasper and I were married showed the the baby was now in position. I was only 5 weeks from delivery and miserable all the time. Jasper, bless him, tried to help me and make me more comfortable but at this point in the game it was impossible. Mom and Phil had chosen to remain in Forks until graduation and would leave only to return two weeks later for my delivery date.

I had been shocked when Esme opened up the house and welcomed both of them in. I honestly think Esme enjoyed having Mom here and I know Mom loved being so close to me again. Jay was quickly getting attached to her. She accepted him with open arms and regularly called herself Grandma to him. He was the light of everyone's life. I had been concerned when on Friday after Jasper and I had married a package was delivered from an attorney. I had started to panic and called Jasper in tears. I had left a voice mail and he immediately returned it. I opened the papers while we were on the phone and read them to him only to hear his chuckle. "Baby, Vicky didn't send those. Those are from Dad's lawyer. They are the adoption papers for Jay. He had then drawn up and sent to Victoria with a generous check to be issued once the adoption is complete. You just have to sign them baby. I'll sign them on lunch if you want to come meet me."

"Adoption? Jasper why in the hell would we put him up for adoption?" I yelled now furiously pissed.

"No baby, calm down. We're not putting him up for adoption, you're adopting him. You will legally be his Mother so if something should ever happen to me, Victoria can't take him from you. She has given up all rights to him."

I felt stupid and hung up the phone laughing a few minutes later. He chuckled, told me he loved me and he'd see me at lunch. I quickly dressed and went to meet him an hour later. I was waiting for him when he came out. We left my car at the school and went down to the local diner only to run into Charlie on his lunch as well. I was hurting occasionally by the time we finished lunch and in stead of me going to the school then driving home, Charlie took me home. Jasper said he would ask Angela to drive my car home after school then take her home so that I wouldn't have to bother. I kissed him goodbye promising to call Carlisle and let him know what was going on.

I had just walked into the house and Esme was on me. "Bella, Carlisle said you're hurting?"

"Not really hurting Mom just uncomfortable. I've been uncomfortable for days. We still have 5 weeks, I'm sure it's nothing." I smiled and laid down on the couch relaxing. That would become my favorite place in the weeks to come. If I wasn't in bed sleeping I was lounging on the couch as Mom and Esme waited on me hand and foot even when I protested strongly.

Graduation day it was hard for me to go. I was tired and grumpy and felt like a whale. Jasper was so proud of both of us though I couldn't just not show up. I'd have been there for him no matter what. I was now three weeks from delivery and man I seriously just wanted this over. I stood with the class even though both Jessica and Lauren glared at me the entire time. When mine and Jasper's names were called I took his hand slowly making my way up the steps and to the principle who held our diplomas. He smiled at shook my hand just as he did everyone else's before taking Jasper's hand and patting him on the back. "Job well done son." Jasper was the class valedictorian and he definitely deserved it. He had worked hard and received two full paid scholarships to any school he chose. I had received a scholarship but it was to the University of Seattle.

Jasper and I had just left the stage when the pain slammed into me full force. I doubled over and gasped as he dropped both our diplomas to the ground. Alice was at our side in a flash picking them up. Emmett as well. He scooped me up and carted me from the auditorium and to the truck. "Shit, Emmett, put me down. My water broke, get Carlisle." I yelled. It was to late, Emmett was soaked. Alice ran back inside almost taking out Carlisle, Edward, Esme and Mom as they were coming out to check on me. Next thing I knew we were in the back seat of Emmett's Jeep Emmett Driving, Carlisle in the passenger seat turned around watching as Jasper helped me breath through the God awful pain and the rest of our families followed behind in various vehicles. Charlie led the way with the lights on the cruiser going.

Much to my shock I discovered that many of the senior class including Angela, Charlotte, Peter, and a few other friends of Jasper's had opted to skip graduation parties and were currently filing into the hospital waiting room as I was moved from ER to Maternity ward to go through the grueling child birth process. I tried really hard to handle it well and not scream but that didn't last long. As the pain increased and my exhaustion became obvious I finally gave in and screamed bloody murder. I cried and tried to relax between pains but yeah, having your body ripped apart doesn't do much for relaxation. I sighed and fell back as the pain subsided slightly and Carlisle entered the room.

"Okay baby girl, you are dilated time to push now."

"You have got to be kidding me. I'm so tired." I gasped. "I just want to sleep."

"I know baby girl, I know. It's almost over. She can't be born if you don't push baby." Carlisle tried to sooth me but another pain slammed into me.

"FUCK THAT HURTS!" I yelled turning to my side trying to ease the pressure.

"No, you can't turn honey, you have to push now. Listen to me Bella. I'm going to lay the bed down. I need you to sit up. Jasper behind her. Put your legs on either side of her hips. Bella lean back into him." Carlisle ordered and Jasper quickly did what he was told. "When the next contraction hits Bella, take Jasper's hands. I'm going to put your feet up and I want you to push. Jasper I need you to count. Listen to me...1...2...3...4...breath. We're going to do that with each contraction. Ready Bella? Here we go. PUSH." I did as he ordered screaming. "Okay, I see her head. One more push and she'll her head will be out Baby girl. Here we go."

"FUCK!" I yelled again and then heard Carlisle chuckle.

"One more time Bella, we have to get her shoulder's out. I know you're tired baby. We're almost done." Carlisle spoke as Jasper brushed my hair back from my face and kissed my forehead. "Here we go, Push Bella! PUSH!"

"FUCK!" I screamed. "IF YOU EVER TOUCH ME WITHOUT A CONDOM AGAIN I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU JASPER!"

"SHE'S OUT!" Carlisle yelled as she cried. I turned my head into Jasper's chest and cried.

"Baby she's beautiful. She's so amazing." Jasper was crying to as he held me.

"You did wonderful Bella." Carlisle said as he pressed on my stomach and I felt fluid and blood running everywhere. "It's over now sweet heart. You can sleep now."

"I want to see her." I whispered to Jasper.

"They're suctioning her nose and checking her Bella. As soon as they're done they'll bring her over." He patted my leg as I felt him cleaning me up. I'm going to give you a local so I can stitch up where I had to cut you for her to come out."

Jasper held me until Carlisle was done and lowered my feet. Once he had slipped out from behind me and moved over to the side the nurses carried over our daughter and handed her to him. He looked down into her eyes and I watched as tears fell. "Hey there Daddy's Princess. It's about time you joined us. Mommy and I have been waiting on you to come out so we could see you." He smiled at me as her little hand moved to grab his hand. She held on to him for dear life. "That's it my baby girl, hold on to Daddy, I'll never let you fall. Let's go meet Mommy okay. She's waiting to see you." He carried her over and placed her on my chest and leaned down to kiss me. "I love you Bella."

"I love you too. I'm sorry I yelled at you." I smiled up at him before turning my attention to the bundle in my arms.

"You can yell at me all day every day baby. Just don't ever leave me."

"Not going to happen lover." I winked at him. "Hello my baby girl. You are so beautiful." I kissed her forehead.

"So do we get to know her name now?" Carlisle spoke from the other side of my bed.

"Jasmine Bailey Hale, meet your Grandpa." I smiled up at him.

"It's perfect Bella. Hi little Jasmine. Welcome to the world and the Cullen house hold." he kissed her forehead as I yawned. "Daddy, why don't you take our little bundle of happiness and let me get Mommy settled to sleep. You can carry her out and introduce her to the family. Bella will be back in her room in about 15 minutes. They'll be bringing her incubator into the room shortly so Jasmine can rest as well. She'll need to feed in about an hour, maybe less. I'm going to sedate Bella so the first feeding will be bottle."

"No. Dad we've opted to breast feed at least the first month. No drugs." I sighed.

"Okay, only if you promise me to rest."

"I promise. I don't think I could not sleep at this point Dad. I'm so tired." I laughed.

"I know sweet heart. Jasper can help her latch on and nurse while you sleep if need be. I'll have nurse Maggy come in and assist you when it's time. She'll teach you both how to handle her and get her to eat. I want you to rest now." He kissed my forehead. "Well done Mommy, congratulations."

JASPER'S POV

I held my wife as she screamed and said a few explicits as she brought our baby girl into the world. There was a time or two I wanted to say a few explicits and even punch someone when Bella would scream or bear down on my hands so hard I swear she was going to break every bone in my hand. I wanted to cry knowing I couldn't take this pain from her. It broke my heart to see her pain.

It was all worth it in the end when my baby girl came into this world. I looked at her in awe as Dad handed her over to the nurses. "She's here baby. She's beautiful." I choked out and Jasmine's eyes opened as if searching for me. She had me wrapped instantly as soon as I looked into the gorgeous green eyes of hers. I was an owned man. My kids and my wife dominated my life and the only thing that existed for me now was the three of them. Nothing would ever change that. Once Dad had said to take the baby from Bella, I stood holding her talking to her softly as Dad moved Bella from one bed to another to move her into her room so she could sleep. I walked beside her until they took her into her room then continued on to the waiting room.

Mom and Rene' were the first two on their feet. Charlie and Phil only seconds behind. "Guys, meet Jasmine Bailey Hale. Jasmine, meet your family baby girl."

Mom and Rene were balling. Jay leaned over and kissed her head. "Baby." He piped up and I laughed.

"Yes, baby. This is your little sister." I kissed him on the forehead. "Rene' would you like to hold her?"

"Oh yes, please." She gasped and gently took her from me. She held her talking to her for a moment before passing her on to Mom. Mom repeated the gesture before handing her to Charlie. Charlie counted her toes and her fingers before finally relinquishing her to Phil who nervously held her only for a second before the thrust her back into my arms.

"Jasper, you need to take her and put her down to nap in the incubator. They will be coming shortly to take her for tests and to weigh and all. Don't worry son, they will bring her back before it's time for her to feed. Everyone needs to go grab some food or coffee or whatever. Bella won't be able to have any company for the next couple of hours. I want her to sleep uninterrupted. Jasper, I'll have the kitchen send you up at tray son." I nodded and took Jasmine to put her down.

I was sitting at Bella's bed side when she woke a little later. I stood and kissed her deeply. "where is our baby girl?'

"They are giving her a bath right now. She's got a set of lungs on her and she didn't mind letting them know she wasn't happy." I chuckled. "They'll be back with her soon. Are you hungry?"

"Starving but I'd rather sleep right now." She sighed.

"I'll give you that this once but after that, I want you to eat." I kissed her. "I love you Isabella Marie Hale."

"I love you Jasper Dean Hale Sr." She smiled at me. "Where is Jay?"

"Currently with your Mother and Mine buying out McDonalds" I chuckled. "He's going to be so damn spoiled we aren't going to know what to do with him. They both are." I laughed. "Sleep baby."

"Lay with me?" She sighed and I crawled into the bed cuddling her tightly into my chest as sleep claimed her. Life was amazing and I had two amazingly beautiful children and a loving wife that my universe revolved around. My life was complete as I looked to the future with my bride and our families.
