~EPOV~
We all piled into Bella's range rover to head over to the hospital, kids and all. Everyone was too excited. The drive seemed to take forever. For once Charlie didn't grumble about my driving fast. I pulled up to the first open spot I could find. I helped Bella walk, since she was still extremely sore. We got to Jas floor and walked to his door.
"Okay you guys we don't know what to expect so we should try and stay calm" I told everyone. They all nodded in agreement. I pushed open his door and before I could stop him Jacks was running for the bed.
"Daddy!" Jacks nearly shouted running into the room. I caught him just as he was going to jump on the bed.
"Easy fella. Daddies still not feeling good ok? Let's take it easy" I set him down and looked over to see Jas watching me, "hey Jas" he just looked at me like he was assessing things. I looked over at my sister who was crying and they didn't look like happy tears. "What's going on?" I asked
"Bella?" Everyone turned at the sound of Jasper's voice, it was laced with surprise.
"Hey Jas. How you feeling buddy?" She asked softly. In the background I could hear Alice's sobs getting louder.
"Good. I feel weird." He told her then motioned for her to come closer. "I don't know who anyone is except you, Em, mama and Charlie and I vaguely remember Edward right?" My heart sank. They said this would be a possibility but I never thought it would happen to us.
"Oh Jas." She sobbed and looked to all of us. I just nodded to her and she began to explain to him who all of us were and what exactly happened. You could see it in his eyes, he felt horrible for not remembering his wife and son. Alice was sobbing in the corner, my mom trying to comfort her. Jacks was sitting next to her, falling asleep on her lap. I didn't know what to do. My best friend barely remembers his life.
Jasper's doctor came in and told us all he needed rest and that we could come back tomorrow. We all said our goodbyes and left the room. Outside the room I asked the doctor if we could do anything about his memory.
"Just keep talking to him about his life; maybe bring in some pictures or home movies for him to watch. There is no way of knowing when he will regain his memory. He could wake up tomorrow and remember everything or it could take months for him to remember anything. Just don't give up on him"
"Never doctor, we could never give up on him. Thank you" I told him as he left. I walked over to my sister and wrapped her in my arms.
"Don't you worry Alice, we will come up tomorrow with picture and movies like the doctor said and before you know it Jas will remember everything ok?" She just nodded into my chest.
"I'm going to take Jacks home with me. Get some sleep. I'm going to take him to school tomorrow. I'll see you later. Love you brother" she told me. I watched her and Jacks leave. I leaned up against the wall right next to Jasper's room and I could hear crying going on. I cracked open the door and walked in. He looked up at me surprised.
"I want to remember man I do. I mean how can I not remember my wife and son, I mean she is the mother of my children how can I not remember?" I walked over to him and gave him a hug.
"Jas listen, she understands ok? We all do. We don't' like it but we understand. We will do everything in our power to help you with whatever you need ok?"
"Ya ok Edward. Thanks man" he just looked at me like he wanted to ask me a question but wasn't sure if he should.
"Spit it out man"
"So how do you know Bella and Alice?"
"Bella is my wife and the little girl that was with her was our daughter Sophie. Alice is my younger sister, and the little boy in here was your son Jackson. Bella and I were married shortly after you and Alice. Bella just gave birth to our son; he is still in the hospital he was pretty early. "
"WOW! Ok so how did everyone meet?"
"Well I met you in the force, and some people were throwing a party for me and I brought Alice and you came and brought Bella and let's just say the rest is history"
"Ok that makes sense. This is just a lot to process. Do you mind if we talk more tomorrow I'm getting pretty tired?"
"Not at all. We will bring pictures and stuff later for you to look at. Get some rest" with that I left him to get some sleep. Man I don't know what I would do if I couldn't remember Bella or my princess. I walk into the hall and Bella isn't there.
"She went to show Soph her little brother" Renee told me. I nodded my thanks and took off toward the NICU to find my girls. Sophie was standing on a chair looking in the windows with her face pressed against it smiling. Bella was beaming.
"There are my girls" I wrapped my arms around my wives waist and put my chin on her shoulder. You could see Ethan in his incubator. He was doing so much better.
"Why is he in that box mama?"
"because he was born too early he gets really cold so it keeps him warm, like being in mommies tummy" Bella told her and Sophie just nodded excepting the answer for now. I can just hear her next question though 'why not just put a blanket on him?' That's my girl.
After a little while we all went back to our house and got ready for bed. I curled up behind my wife on our bed and pulled her back to me. I nuzzled her neck with my nose and just breathed in her scent. I closed my eyes when I heard her sigh and started kissing her on her neck. I was getting hard and knew I needed to reign that shit in. Bella couldn't do anything like that for a while. But then she had to moan when my hands of their own free will started gently brushing her nipples.
"God I want you so much baby" I groaned out when she moved her ass back against my cock harder.
"I know baby"
"Ok we need to stop before I rip your clothes off" I told her with a growl. She chuckled and stopped moving her hips and I took a couple calming breaths. She turned her head toward me and I gave her a kiss on her mouth and whispered I love you. Best night sleep in a long time.
Jasper was doing better over the next few weeks. Everyone visited him every day and talked to him and showed him pictures. Renee and Charlie went home a week after he woke up and told us to call them if anything changed.
Jas was slowly remembering little things. He said he would get flashes of Alice doing something or of Jacks but not real memories. He would all of a sudden see Alice in a wedding gown or Jacks hitting a baseball. Alice was so happy he was starting to remember anything even if it meant it was just a flash.
Jacks really didn't' understand what was happening so he just sat on the bed with Jas and told him about school. I could tell by just looking in his eyes he loved that boy and it was killing him not remembering everything. I know it was killing Alice that she couldn't kiss him, goodbye.
Ethan was doing great. Last week Bella was able to start breast feeding him, and we were able to hold him for longer periods of time. He was getting so much bigger. They said we could probably take him home in about 3 weeks if he keeps progressing.
Before Renee and Charlie left we had a little funeral for Connor. The headstone Esme picked out was beautiful. We had our pastor say a few words at the site. That day was hard on Bella, when we got home she went upstairs and cried herself to sleep. It was good for her to purge. She hadn't let herself really cry about losing him. The next day she was so much better.
Jasper was being released from the hospital today. It has been 3 weeks since he woke up from his surgery. Renee was coming back up to stay with Alice to help her with everything. I think Jasper was relieved. He remembered Renee she was his second mom so he felt more comfortable with her around. He was remembering little things more and more each day but still nothing concrete. Still just flashes, he was remembering Jacks more than Alice.
I also had to go meet with my commanding officer and see when I had to go back. I had to drive to Seattle, so that's what I'm doing now. There was no way in hell I was going back until my little boy was home. I pulled on base and drove to the colonel's office. I knocked and waited to be invited in.
"Come in" I opened the door and stepped in and saluted and stood at attention.
"At ease captain" I relaxed my position and waited. "How is everything?"
"Good sir, my brother in law was released today and my son is doing much better"
"Good to hear. Are you ready to go back?"
"With all due respect sir, I would like to wait until my son is home safely from the hospital"
"Yes I suppose you would captain." He continued looking through papers at his desk. "I can give you 21 more days leave and that's it" he told me looking me square in the eye, I started right back.
"Yes sir, thank you sir"
"Dismissed Cullen" I stood at attention again saluted and left. I walked over to my car got in and plugged my blue tooth in and called Bella. I told her I had 3 more weeks but that was the best I could do. She said it was fine and that at least she had 3 more weeks with me.
A/N I know is super short and super late, I've had some serious writers block and with work it has been crazy. I'm sorry it took me so long.
