"Hurry! C'mon Jasper, we gotta go!" Alice urged me as I slowly walked out of the house.

I rolled my eyes. "Alice, it's summer. There is no 'hurry.'"

Alice glared at me and stomped her foot. She was so cute when she did that. "But Jasper!" she whined. "There is hurry when its my nineteenth birthday party we're going to!"

I laughed. "Okay, okay. You win. Today is a very special occasion." I climbed into her Porsche and even though I was laughing on the outside, I was nervous on the inside.

We rode to her house in comfortable silence. When we got there, music was blaring and everybody was lounging out by the pool.

"Finally! What took you so long!" Edward teased. I tackled him into the pool.

Everybody laughed at followed us in. Well, everyone but Bella and Rosalie. Bella was still on crutches from the accident years ago, but was better than before. In a few months, she wouldn't need them anymore.

"Rosie? Aren't you going to swim?" Emmett bellowed.

Rosalie shook her head. "Not now. I'll just keep Bella company."

Emmett just shrugged and proceeded to dunk me under the water.

Cynthia, now about fourteen, had a boyfriend and I think she had gotten over her crush on me-I hope. He was a pretty cool guy. His name was Christian and he had straight A's, on the soccer team, and seemed to really love Cynthia. I knew Alice approved of him by the way she joked around with him as though he were her brother.

We swam until it was dark, then we all went in to sing 'Happy Birthday.' As we were eating the cake, Rosalie cleared her throat.

"Guess what?" she said. "We all looked at her. "I'm going to have a baby."

Everyone clapped and congratulated except Emmett, whose eyes were bugged out and his mouth-full of cake-hung open.

"Emmett! Isn't that great!" Rosalie asked. There was no response, he just continued to stare.

Alice went to the kitchen, got a full cup of ice, and dumped it down Emmett's shirt. He screeched and jumped up, coming out of his stupor. He ran over to Rosalie. "Really? I'm going to be a daddy?" She nodded and he kissed her.

When it was time to open presents, I became nervous again. I had gotten Alice two presents. She would open one know, and one later.

From Bella, she got mall gift cards. Alice vowed that there would be a shopping spree soon and Bella groaned. Edward and Cynthia gave her a Shoppers Anonymous phone number as a joke. Their actual gift was a sketchbook. She loved to draw. Rosalie and Emmett gave her a cute top. I got her new seat covers-and something else, but she won't open that yet.

We sat around and talked for a while and played the Wii. We talked about Rosalie's baby and I thought about how Alice dreamt we would have twins one day.

After about an hour, I asked Alice to come for a walk with me. We walked outside and then to the edge of the woods, where I knew no one could see or hear us. I can't believe I'm about to do this. I thought.

"Okay, close your eyes." I instructed. She closed them and I slid the box from my back pocket.

"Open them." I said softly. Alice slowly opened her eyes and then gasped when she saw me down on one knee.

I took a deep breath. "Alice Brandon, I have loved you since the day we met. And even though it's only been about a year and a half, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?"

She put her hand on her mouth and nodded. Then, she collapsed into my arms, saying 'yes' over and over again and crying happily.

I hugged her tightly and kissed her. "Thank you." I said, after pulling away. I rocked her back and forth in a bit of a slow dance as she tried to calm down.

When she finally stopped, we walked back to the house with huge smiles on our faces.

"There you are!" Emmett boomed as we came through the door. "I thought we would have to start a search party!"

Alice was too happy to be annoyed. She didn't even spit back an insult like she usually would have. I wasn't the only one who noticed.

"Okay, something's up. Alice usually would have hit Emmett." Bella observed.

Alice shrugged. "What can I say? I'm in a great-no, amazing mood!"

Edward narrowed his eyes. "What's really going on?"

Looking at me, then back at everyone else, Alice slowly raised her hand to show off her new ring. All the girls screamed and Alice was swarmed with hugs. I was given pats on the back and 'congratulations.'

"Can I be your maid of honor?" Cynthia shouted.

"Of course, dear! You're my little sister!" Alice said, laughing. Cynthia clapped and then ran over to hug Christian.

The room was filled with the buzz of excitement, but I barely noticed any of it. I just gazed, with a really cheesy grin, at Miss Alice Brandon Soon-to-be Whitlock.

OK, I REALLY HOPE YOU LIKED IT! SORRY ITS SO SHORT! EXPECT THE NEXT CHAPTER BY SUNDAY, I JUST HAVE TO TYPE IT. PLEASE REVIEW! TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK. I WILL EVEN TAKE A FLAME, I JUST WANT REVIEWS. THEY KEEP ME GOING.
