Getting to the farm took quite a bit longer than normal since the carriage was all over the path, steering in a straight line was going to take some time.

Finally reaching the house as she saw Jasper come out looking worried at her steering. "Careful there darlin', I might have to have Elijah give you both some lessons." He chuckled as he lifted Isabella and then Marie from the carriage.

Isabella wrapped her arms around his waist as he sighed patting her back, "I assume the rider came to our house first?"

Isabella nodded as she stepped back holding the letter to him, "He said you're going to leave in the morning."

He took the document opening it as he read through it quickly, "It looks like we are heading to Oklahoma."

Hugging her tightly before kissing her.

Chapter21

Isabella POV - A few Weeks Later

I was over at Mrs. Whitlock's in the kitchen kneading some dough. She was teaching me how to make bread by myself.

There had been a lot of unrest in the area and she decided it would be best for us to learn the basics in cooking in case we had to leave the house. The armies had already come through letting us know that 90% of our fields now temporarily belonged to the confederacy so the armies could have food constantly being sent to them.

We still had room for the animals and food for us so it wasn't horrible. However we lost what would be our income next year. A few people had tried heading west to get out of the battle that was heading our way.

The door swung open and Elijah walked in holding a dead pheasant he had shot in the fields out back for dinner.

Mrs. Whitlock smiled up at him taking the bird and walking over the sink to pluck the feathers and clean it. "Isabella come here, I am going to have you do this."

I nervously wiped my hands on my apron before walking over and taking the pheasant from her. The more I plucked out the feathers, the more I felt my stomach lurching at the feeling of the feathers coming out.

Watching as she handed me a knife telling me to cut straight down the belly. Seeing the inside I barely held down my breakfast as I pulled out to inside.

Finally after what seemed like ages it was done and Mrs. Whitlock cut the chicken up throwing them into a pot with other vegetables.

Getting a bowl of water and adding as much hot water as I could into the cold before thrusting my hands into it while trying to clean my hands with the soap.

About an hour later after finishing two more loafs of bread I left the kitchen. My head was starting to feel woozy from all the heat in the kitchen.

Grasping at the door frame right as Elijah came in the house. I wanted to reach out to him, he must have seen my face as he grabbed me. My vision blackened around the edges as I tried holding onto him before I passed out.

Walking up in my old room feeling a cold damp cloth pressed against my forehead. Pulling it away I looked up seeing a strange women standing over me.

Looking down I was in my nightgown as Mrs. Whitlock took my hand, "Isabella can you hear me dear?"

I looked up at her seeing the motherly worry in her eyes. Nodding, "I must have passed out."

She nodded her head and looked over at the other woman, "This is Mrs. Henry, she is a midwife dear."

I looked at the woman confused, "A midwife?"

The other woman pressed her hands onto my lower stomach slightly. "Your slightly bloated dear, I can already feel the baby's sack growing larger. Have you been missing your womanly bleeding?"

I dropped my jaw trying to remember the last time I had my monthly visit and shook my head, "Right before Jasper came home, and then we got married…."

Mrs. Whitlock beamed before wrapping her arms around me, "Oh Isabella your pregnant!"

The other woman smiled nodding, "You should avoid getting over heated Isabella. Counting the months you should give birth in the spring time." She stood up grabbing her bag, "I will see you then, just have a rider come get me when the labor starts."

Staring at her I was in shock, what that it? No prenatal check ups? No vitamins? No list of things I couldn't do? Seeing everyone looking at me I tried not showing how scared I was. However my voice cracked the second I spoke, "Am I going to be alright?"

Mrs. Whitlock sat next to me on the bed, "I will be here for you the whole step of the way Isabella."

Nodding and then realizing Jasper, "Jasper! It was months before he came home last time. I have to tell him."

Both the woman nodded and left me alone to write to my husband. Sitting at me old stand I stared at the blank page for over an hour, my hand resting over my baby wondering when I would feel him or her.

Looking back at the page I dabbed the quill in the ink.

My Dearest Husband,

I hope all is well with you. I have written you nearly every week since you left, and although I have not heard from you in reply I am assuming you all are traveling around and cannot receive mail.

When you get this letter, however long it takes, please know we are here waiting for your safe return.

I love you so much. You have made me the happiest woman Jasper. You are making me a mother.

You're going to be a father Jasper. I pray he or she has your eyes, I am so excited to share this with you.

I just found out myself moments ago, your mother called for a midwife to help me after I had gotten ill. I am fine, please do not worry. I just got a little too hot in the kitchen, however now that I know what the heat does to me I can take breaks to cool down.

Your mother finally allowed me to see the room next to ours that I didn't have a chance to see while you were here. I cried seeing the beautiful baby bassinet your mother bought for our future. I guess it will be used sooner than everyone thought. Our baby's room.

You are an amazing man Jasper Whitlock and I am so happy to be your wife.

I love you so very much and cannot wait to see you soon.

You're loving Wife,

Isabella Whitlock

Folding the envelope I went downstairs to find Elijah already in his jacket with his horse saddled.

He smiled at me holding his hand out to me, "I figured you would want the letter send to the post as soon as possible."

I just walked over to him hugging him tightly, "Thank you Elijah."

Vampire Jasper POV

I had been sitting outside when the last vision hit me, I had received a letter from Isabella. Gripping my head reeling over my vision, she had gotten pregnant.

My Isabella had gotten pregnant. My child.

Turning I headed into the house being stopped by Carlisle and Emmett who were heading outside.

Carlisle stopped me, he must had seen something in my face. "Jasper? What is it?"

I stopped looking at him, "She….. Isabella. She wrote me a letter while I was deployed. She told me she was pregnant Carlisle….. She was pregnant with my child."

They both stood there stunned at my admission, neither speaking.

We all turned hearing the soft click of Rosalie's heels stopping in the doorway. "She is pregnant?"

I looked at her, "She was in 1861, after our wedding. My mother had bought us a bassinet when we got married."

She smiled at me softly hugging me, "I know it is a few years late, but congratulations Jasper."

Hugging her back, "I never even imagined what it would be like to have a child."

She smiled at me, "Well maybe you will get a glimpse of it Jasper."

Smiling as I hugged her back, "I hope I can meet our baby."

Please please review.
