Labor Day! I hope you are all having a nice one, and relaxing! I know I am!

BPOV, 30 Weeks Along:

"Jazz, I'm going to miss you so much." I croaked, throwing my arms around him.

"I'll miss you too." He murmured, putting his hands on my shoulders and examining me. "I should be back in time." He added, patting my huge stomach.

"I hope so." I sighed, kissing his cheek one last time before he released me and picked up his bag. Alice, Emmett, Rosalie, and Edward stood to my side, waiting to say goodbye. My parents were waiting by the car, ready to drive Jasper to the airport. Emmett, Rosalie, and Edward each hugged Jasper, and he tentatively held his arms out to Alice.

She was still furious with him; and upset. Tears were in her eyes and she slowly walked into his embrace and pressed her cheek against his chest.

"Hey, Ali, I'll be back in no time. I promise." Jasper whispered in her ear, running his hand through her hair.

"You better be." She murmured, standing on her tip-toes so that they could kiss sweetly.

"Jasper, we need to get going." My dad said uncomfortably, checking his watch and holding the car door open for Jasper.

"Bye, guys." He said, giving us a sad little wave.

"Bye." We all called, and Edward gave me a strong hug when tears started to fall down my cheeks.

"He'll be back after he finishes basic training, love."

"And then he's going to war." I cried, clasping hands with Alice who was also sobbing.

"He's strong, Bella. And he'll be fine." Edward murmured, pressing kisses up and down my neck, trying desperately to console me when he too was hurting.

You guys can hate me for this short chapter, but please keep in mind that I did update five times yesterday! I've decided that the 150th review giver will also get the first 601 words of the finale, because I feel very generous.
