BPOV
Opening my eyes, I let out a soft purr. I was getting better at being around Jasper intimately, but I still had a low limit.
Jasper's arm was draped loosely across me, and I felt him laying behind me on the bed. I interlocked our fingers, and then used my free hand to ghost traces over the scars on his hand. I pushed at the sleeve.
"You should wear short sleeve shirts." I smiled and brought his knuckles to my lips, gently kissing them, then dropped them back to my side.
"And why is that, Darlin'?" He asked softly, and I felt his grip tighten slightly on my hand.
I turned and looked at him, then turned my attention to his hand again, running my thumb over his most dominate scar that was on his hand, smiling again. "Because you look better when your muscles are showing." I looked back up at Jasper.
"Darlin', you know that I can't do that." He looked me in the eye, but it was clear that he was still upset about his scars.
"Jas, stop hiding behind your clothes. Please, I like your muscles." I smiled mischievously.
"We'll see. So, what do you want to do today?" He pulled my hand up to his mouth and gently kissed each knuckle, not looking away from my eyes.
"How about we try to play baseball." I smiled and inched forward, gently kissing the tip of his nose. "I love you."
"I love you too." He was up and then pulled me off the bed, cradling me to his chest and smiling to me. "Lets go get the rest of the family." And then he was running down the stairs.
I giggled softly. Jasper was so sweet, and I was just in complete and utter love with him.
He got downstairs and sat, keeping me on his lap. I giggled again, and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Guys! Come here please!" I called out, but kept my eyes on Jasper.
They were around us instantly, and I let go of Jasper's neck and turned to look at the family. "Anyone up for a game of good old baseball?" I smiled, knowing that my time as a newborn was running out, and I wanted to live it up, not think about the bastard
Edward anymore.
"Sweet! I'm on the team with the newborn!" Emmett smiled, nearly jumping up and down in excitement.
"So am I." Jasper whispered behind me, and tightened his grip on me lovingly.
"Don't worry, we will still beat you." Rose smiled and gently pushed Emmett's chest.
"Oh yeah?" Emmett straightened up, and got in Rose's face. I giggled and covered my mouth; they were so fake.
"What, you think I'm funny, newborn?" Emmett turned to me, straightening up, raising one eyebrow.
I got off of Jasper's lap, and I felt him stand up behind me for backup, but I was in complete control. "Yeah, I think it's hilarious." I tilted my head in challenge.
"Oh, you're lucky we're on the same team, or else I would crush you."
"Yeah? You jumped at the chance to be on my team. I think you are scared to face me."
"Yeah, you wish." He rolled his eyes.
"Prove me wrong then! Switch teams, and we will see who is better." I smiled, and looked around. "Carlisle, do you mind switching teams so Emmett can finally loose for once?"
Carlisle laughed. "Of course." He smiled. "Let's get ready to go then. News said it was going to rain today, so it will be perfect."
"Oh, you are on!" Emmett smiled, then looked at Rose. "Can you get everyone ready for it? Please?" He pulled her close.
Jasper wrapped his arms loosely around my waist and pulled me close. "You go get ready." He whispered into my ear, and then kissed my cheek.
Rose laughed. "Fine, come on Bella, lets get all dressed up for our men." She smiled, kissed Emmett quickly, then pulled away from him.
She looked at me and smiled.
Reluctantly, I pulled away from Jasper and followed Rose up the stairs and into her room. I sat on the bed and sighed. "You realize we have to plan the memorial after this, right?"
"Yeah, I know. Might as well have a little fun before that though." She pulled out an outfit and tossed it at me. "Here, this will make Jasper go crazy over you…if you want him to that is."
Looking closely at the clothes, I smiled. "Thanks Rose, I appreciate it." It was a pair of short shorts jeans, and a hot pink, low cut T-shirt, and it was adorable. "Do you think I'll look good in it?"
"Bella, you will look so hot Jasper won't be able to keep his hands off of you." She smiled and pulled out another pair of short shorts jeans and a black v neck T-shirt with neon paint splatters. She then walked into the closet and started to change, as did I.
When we where both done, we walked arm and arm down the stairs, and I smiled as Jasper and Emmett both stood up.
"Rose, you look amazing." Emmett said, pulling her into a hug and spinning her around, kissing her fiercely.
Jasper took a step forward. "Bella, I don't think you have looked more beautiful." He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer, but in a loving manor.
"Aww, and you're wearing a short sleeve shirt. I love it." I ran my hands from his waist to his shoulders, then wrapped my arms around his neck. "You look so handsome." I twisted my fingers through his loose curls, smiling.
"Are we going to play or not?" Emmett asked, pulling me and Jasper out of our own little land.
"Yeah, sure. You guys go ahead, we will be there in a second. We'll get the bats and balls." Jasper said, still looking solely on me.
"Whatever, love birds." Emmett muttered, then he and Rose were gone.
"We're going too." Carlisle called, then they were gone too. And we were finally alone.
"I love you, Jasper Hale." I whispered, pulling even closer. I loved the smell of him, and the feeling of his breath on my face.
"I love you, Bella Swan." He smiled, and slowly pressed his lips to mine, but I wanted more. I kissed him slightly harder, and fisted his hair, but was pushed away.
"Darlin', don't push yourself." He whispered, but then brushed his lips against mine again. "I love you too much to push you again. Come on, Darlin'. Let's go play baseball.
Hell, I would go to the end of the earth with this man.
