A/N: A little late again…sorry

The dispute with James had soiled my good mood, but I was trying to maintain a happy demeanor for my family. Jasper could see right through my façade, but he was acting otherwise, for which I was appreciative.

We all sat around a table in a restaurant. I was trying to concentrate on the words on my menu, but I just couldn't. My mind kept drifting back not only to earlier tonight, but the last time I had seen James before today.

I shuddered, reliving it for the thousandth time. I felt Jasper's hand take mine and I looked up. He offered a small, reassuring smile. I tried to find the will to smile back, but I couldn't.

Jasper said something to someone else, but I didn't pay any attention, so I was surprised when he told me we were leaving.

"Why?" I asked in confusion.

"You're not okay," he whispered. I saw the pain in his eyes and I felt guilty for causing that.

"No, I'm fine Jazz. Sit. Let's stay."

Rosalie shook her head across the table. "Ali, go with him. You know you're hurting and just can't stay. We'll just take a rain check and do this some other time when you're better."

I sighed, but nodded and stood. Jasper and I left the restaurant. We stood on the curb and I looked up at Jasper. "How are we getting home exactly?"

"I called someone," he assured me.

Our limo pulled up and I raised an eyebrow at him. He shrugged. The limo driver, whose name I couldn't remember at the moment, hurried to open our door for us. I slid in first, Jasper following.

Tonight we were sleeping in our own homes, tomorrow we'd be on the tour bus and heading to the next city, something else I just couldn't remember.

We were dropped off at home. I changed into one of Jasper's shirts and curled up on my bed, closing my eyes and wishing for sleep. Jasper came in a little later and lay with me, though I knew he wasn't tired. I wasn't either. In fact, a familiar sensation went through me. It was something I had gotten used to recently.

I stood up quickly, hurrying to the bathroom and bending over the toilet, emptying what was in my stomach out. It was times like these that I was grateful that I cut my hair so short.

When I sat back, groaning, I saw Jasper standing in the doorway. He was frowning. "Please tell me that was because of the pregnancy and not because of that asshole."

I stood up, closing the lid and flushing. "Pregnancy," I answered before brushing my teeth. Puking is nasty, as I had told Rosalie before I knew I was pregnant.

Jasper's arms wrapped around my waist from behind as I set my toothbrush back in the cup beside his. "I'm so sorry you had to go through that."

I leaned back into his embrace. "I'll be okay, I promise."

We went back into the bedroom. Our suitcases were sitting on the floor, packed and ready for tomorrow. Jasper held me close once we were lying on the bed again. I closed my eyes and buried my face in his neck. As the scent of Jasper permeated my senses, all thoughts of James were erased and I fell asleep quickly.

The next morning, Jasper woke me up way too early in my tastes. Of course, I had a doctor appointment this morning before we left on the tour. It was going to be a busy day and I felt tired just thinking about it.

"Sorry," Jasper mumbled when I told him to go away, "but you're the one who scheduled it."

I sighed and finally got up. I took a shower and got dressed. Jasper was outside, putting our suitcases in the car that would take us to where we were meeting Leah later, after the appointment. Not only did this pregnancy feel so much more real, but it was really starting. We were really going to be going on tour, spending almost every night belting out the songs we wrote for millions of people.

After locking up, Jasper and I got in the car. He kissed my forehead. "Feeling better?"

"Yeah," I told him, leaning against him. He lifted his arm to wrap around my shoulders. "I don't really care about James. That's the past and you're the present and the future. As I've said before, you can't let the troubles of your past hang over your head constantly."

Jasper nodded. "I guess you're right."

The rest of the way, we were silent. We got to there on time, but had to wait in the waiting room, doing all the paperwork and stuff for a while. Jasper kept looking at the clock on the wall. We had to meet Leah at a certain time and we were cutting it close.

Finally, I was called in. Jasper and I stood and followed the woman with the clipboard. She glanced down before smiling up at us. "You're in that new band, right?"

I looked at Jasper quickly before nodding at the woman. "Yes, we are."

"I guess those rumors are true then, huh?" She didn't sound pushy, like she was trying to get it out of us or anything, just making small talk.

"Yeah, they are," I confirmed.

We were lead into a room where I was given a hospital gown to change into. The woman told us that the doctor would be here shortly. Jasper sat down in a plastic chair as I changed.

My jaw dropped when Dr. Richardson announced that weren't having just one baby.

"You're kidding me!" I cried, my eyes widening I had just been kidding about that the other day. Shit. How in the hell was I going two of his kids at the same time, let alone give birth to them?

"Nope," she said with a smile. "No jokes here."

I glanced at Jasper, but he looked just as shocked. Then he grinned. "Now I might get 'em both like I wanted."

When we left the office, I was still pretty shocked about being pregnant with twins. I mean seriously, was that just to spite me?

We got back in the car and were now headed to meet Leah, Jane, and Seth. Jasper kissed my temple. "You're going to be fine, baby."

I scowled. "You not only put one watermelon in me, but two."

Jasper grinned. "Oops."

I couldn't help but laugh. "Shut up. I'm supposed to be mad at you."

He shrugged and moved closer, his lips stopping inches from mine. "Guess I'm irresistible, huh?"

"Mmm, yeah." I leaned forward and meet his lips, kissing him deeply. Jasper smiled into the kiss and tangled one of his hands in my hair; the other went to rest of my stomach.

When we got there, Leah, Seth, and Jane were standing beside a tour bus that had not only our album cover on it, but the group picture from the back of the album.

"That turned out great," I commented, walking up to them. Jasper followed me, carrying some of the suitcases. He loaded them into the side of the bus. We were only keeping a bag each actually inside the bus.

"Not really," Jasper muttered. He hated the fact that I was shirtless on our album cover.

Jane bit her lip and pulled me aside. "I'm so sorry Alice. I swear, I didn't know he was going to be there."

I shook my head. "No, it's fine. I'm over it. I was just a little bit…in shock last night, I guess. It's totally not your fault Jane and I don't blame you in the slightest." She hugged me.

Eventually, we were on the bus and on the way. Leah was going separately from us, meeting us in each city. It was only the band on the bus.

The bunk beds looked like they were going to be extremely uncomfortable, especially pregnant like I am.

Seth grinned and climbed up onto one of the top bunks. "I've always wanted a top bunk!"

Jane rolled her eyes and got on the bunk beneath his. Jasper turned to me. "I'll take the top one, okay? The bottom will probably be you know, safer."

I nodded and sat down on the bottom bunk. Jasper sat beside me, but ended up hitting his head on the bottom of the top bunk. "Shit!"

We all laughed.

"So," Jane said, turning to Jasper and I. He was rubbing his head and grimacing. "How'd the appointment go?"

I sighed. "Well, I'm about seven weeks…with twins."

Seth paused in his exploration of the top bunk and stared down at us in shock. Jane was equally shocked.

About a week after the beginning of the tour, we had an interview scheduled. It was for one of those magazines that had video interviews on their websites in addition to an article. There were so many, I could barely keep them straight.

This was a very important interview, since Jasper and I would be officially together to the world afterwards. Leah had had the questions run by her, so she knew for a fact they'd be asking about us.

We all sat in chairs across from a young woman with blonde hair and cameraman beside her. "Hi, I'm Kate. You're Secret Seduction, as most everyone who's anyone knows, but can you introduce yourselves individually? Please state your part of the band also."

"I'm Alice Brandon, vocals," I started, smiling at the camera before turning to Jasper.

"Jasper Whitlock, vocals, lead guitar," Jasper said, winking at Kate. She blushed and grinned. I held back a scowl.

"I'm Jane Fleming and I'm the bassist," Jane went on, waving at the camera.

"And I'm Seth Clearwater. I play the drums and I'm proud of it," Seth announced with a wide grin.

"A lot of us are curious as to how you all met," Kate said.

Jasper glanced at me, so I figured I'd answer it. "I met Jane first, because I used to model with her sister, Heidi Fleming. I met Jasper when he came to town for Rosalie Hale's wedding. Seth and I met when I visited Jasper in Texas, since they used to work together at a music store."

Kate nodded. "Okay, one thing everyone's dying to know is, are you two together?" She gestured between Jasper and me.

Jasper's arm wrapped around my shoulders. "Alice and I started dating a while ago and got engaged recently. So, yes, we are together." I smiled widely.

Kate looked surprised. "Engaged? Wow, okay. I didn't expect that." She cleared her throat and got back down to business. "A lot of your songs are about love and heartache. Do they derive from real life experience, or are you just good actors?"

"Well, Jasper writes all the songs, with Alice's input," Jane said with a shrug.

Kate turned to Jasper, giving him an expectant look.

"Yeah, they do come from real life experience. Most of the songs about love and all that I wrote after I met Alice and are about Alice, but some of the other ones that deal with heartbreak have to deal with the past and things I don't want to get into.

"One of the songs, though, was solely Alice. I wrote it and put it to music, but it's Alice's experience."

"It's called Part of the Past and it's about how I don't know anything to do with my real parents, but I want it to stay that way because that's part of the past and I'm happy with the now," I explained.

Kate nodded. "Alice, do you prefer your music career over your modeling career?"

"I really loved modeling a lot, but I think I like being a band better. Not only do I get to tour the US with my close friends and fiancé, but I also get to make people happy with my voice and well, not with my body."

"I for one, hated your modeling career," Jasper put in.

Seth and Jane laughed. "Dude, I loved it! Besides Jazz, it's where you first saw Ali, even if you didn't know her."

I frowned, looking up at Jasper in confusion. "Huh?" Jasper flushed.

Kate was watching intently. "What are you talking about? Obviously Alice has no idea either."

Seth chuckled and turned to Kate. "Well, before he left for Rosalie's wedding, I showed him a hot picture of little Ali in Maxim and we wondered if she knew his sister, which she did." He laughed. "It's just a bit weird that they're all like, getting married now."

I stared at Jasper, my eyes wide. He never told me that. He shrugged.

A week or so later was when our album was released. According to fan response to the tour so far, it would hopefully be a hit.

Jasper and I were lying together on my bed in the tour bus. Seth and Jane were somewhere doing whatever they did in their spare time. Jasper hand rested over my stomach, my hand was over his.

"I can't wait to find out they're boys, girls, or one of each. You know I'm pulling for the third option," Jasper told me, glancing downward at our hands, then back up at my face. "I'm sure you have plenty of name ideas."

"Maybe a few," I admitted. Ever since finding about being pregnant, I had been thinking about names. Rosalie and I talked about it to share ideas and make sure we weren't planning on a similar name. She and Emmett had found out they were having a daughter, much to both their pleasures. Emmett wanted a daddy's girl.

Jasper raised an eyebrow in question. "Do share."

I smiled. "Well…if there's a girl…I've always liked the name Alexis or Scarlett. If there's a boy…maybe Dustin or Ryder. I don't know yet… What do you think?"

"I like them Ali." He kissed me once before pulling back. "We're going to have adorable kids because you're their mom."

"No, because you're their daddy."

Jasper shook his head. "Whatever you say."

I narrowed my eyes at him, but he grinned and I couldn't but grin back. "You're going to be a great dad, Jazz."

"And you're going to be a great mom."

"We even get to practice first on Rose and Emmett's daughter." Rosalie was already five months pregnant, so she'd be giving birth a few months before I would.

"If she even lets us. Once Rose gets that baby in her arms, she won't ever let her go."

"So…are we going to get married before or after the babies are born?"

Jasper pursed his lips in thought. "By the time the tour's over, you'll be about three or so months. Do you really want to get married while you're pregnant?"

"No…not really," I admitted. "I kinda don't wanna be fat…and that would make it look like a shotgun wedding."

Jasper chuckled. "Okay, we'll wait then. We can't have people thinking it's a shotgun wedding."

I rested my head on his chest and closed my eyes, promising myself I wouldn't fall asleep, I was just resting them. But that plan went down the drain as I felt myself falling asleep. Oh well…a few minutes won't hurt.

So…what do people think of the possible names? Love 'em? Hate 'em? And should they have girls, boys, both? (I already know…but I just want feedback ;))
