Alice's POV
Bella and I decided to host the kid's first birthday party together on the same day, given that they were only born six hours apart we decided that it would be nice to have it combined. Her parents, my parents, and all the Whitlock's were here.
We had the living room covered in pink and blue with a streamer that said HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY! and a table that was set up on the side for their presents.
The babies were on the floor crawling around playing with their adoring grandparents.
"Bells would you help me with dinner?" I asked making her look over at me.
"Yeah sure." She said heading toward the kitchen. When we were both in there she turned to me and asked "What do you want me to do Ali?"
"Uh yeah you could start on the salad, cutting up and mixing it into this bowl." I said while handing her a big bowl. "Uh listen Bella, um I have to tell you something, and before you say anything please hear me out. I..ah...I..over the last six months I have been feeling differently towards you and I have tried to put them in the back of my head but I just can't keep it to myself anymore. It came out of nowhere but I like you Bella and I would like to try to be more than friends. If you don't want to be frie.." I was cut off by Bella's lips touching mine. It took me a moment to respond back but when I did it was magical. Almost like it was with Jasper.
Bella pulled away first.
"I feel the same. Ali when I first saw you breastfeeding Harper it was so beautiful but then I realized that I was starting to find you attractive. I had never done that before, women have never been a turn on for me but that day when you were in the pink bridesmaid dress I knew that I wanted more with you I just didn't know how to tell you." Bella told me while going back to cutting the onion for the salad.
"So where do we go from here?" I asked Bella.
" I don't know haha." She laughed a bit.
"We will figure it out." I told her.
We went back to celebrating our babies birthday's.
When the night was over Bella and I were on the couch making out a little. She was kissing me and hovering over me in between my legs when her phone rings once, twice, before she picks it up.
"Hello." She said.
I couldn't hear who was on the other line. She raised up immediately after the person must have spoken.
"P...Peter? Oh my god where are you, tell me wher..." She seemed to be cut off.
Peter oh my god I had many different feelings going on in my head. One I was so happy to know that at least he was okay, two I was hopeful that Jasper was alright and somehow that they were together and three over whelming guilt. I felt so guilty that me and Bella didn't even stop to consider the boys when we decided to try out this...whatever it was. We had to talk.
I waited for her to be done which was about two minutes later.
"Yeah Peter I love you to honey so much, okay, bye." She was crying a little.
"What did he say?" I asked her.
"He said that him and Jasper were together and that they would be able to leave in three months. I just don't understand what he meant that they had to wait until three months. But there okay at least that's good news." She told me, while looking at her phone. "Shit I didn't even... You remember the missed calls that I had a while back ago? That must have been Peter trying to call because the number that showed up for his call is also unknown like those ones were." She explains showing me the caller id.
"Well at least you answered it this time did he say where he was?" I comforted her.
"No he wouldn't say but god it was so nice hearing his voice again. I should call Charlie maybe he can find out where they are?" She looked deep in thought.
"Yeah probably but Bella uh I don't know if I can continue whatever this is between us without feeling guilty because of the boys." I told her unsure of myself for once.
"Oh um alright yeah I understand that we can wait and talk to them when we find them or they come home and then we can figure everything out." She told me comforting me while I cried. I liked Bella a lot more than I thought but Jasper and Harper came first for me.
~FTW~
Caleb's POV
We were on the way back home when I realized that Angie was quiet, too quiet.
"Hey sexy you okay?" I asked her.
"Hmm. Yeah. Yeah just thinking." She replied looking at me and then looking back towards the window.
"What about?" I asked again.
"Hannah and what she might have looked like and been like had she survived." She was deep in thought and I knew that where here thoughts were going wouldn't be good. Focusing on the death of our daughter was not a good thing.
"Babe I need you to stop we cant help what happened and I thought that you worked past this. I know that we will never fully be over what happened but we at least have to move past it honey." I said rubbing my hand along her arm.
"I know and I have accepted what happened but I also got to thinking that maybe it's time that we discussed trying again. Would you want to start trying to make a baby?" She turned in her seat so she was facing me.
"If that is what you want then yeah I would like to start trying." I told her.
"Good." Is all she said.
