The day after the super bowl Carlisle informed me that he would not be able to take me to get my permit this week. He was fairly busy, and could not get an appointment that fit into his schedule until two weeks from now. I was disappointed, but at least he still planned on taking me.

And, I was too busy planning a special Valentine's day for Alice to dwell on my permitlessness. There was not a lot I could do without being allowed to leave the house, but thankfully Rosalie was willing to help me.

I had Rosalie pick up romantic decorations such as candles, a table cloth, and a fold-a-way table and chair set. I was planning on setting up the living room of our new apartment as a romantic dining room for two. And, because we still cannot cook worth a rat's fart, I ordered take out from a fancy Italian restaurant.

Rosalie was set to drive to Port angeles Monday after school and pick up shrimp scampi and pasta. Shrimp is Alice's favorite, and I had a craving for pasta. I also made Emmett go to the store and pick up sparkling apple cider to go with our meal. And I made Esme go to the store and buy me larger dress clothes so I could look nice.

But, Alice's gift I arranged myself, because I wanted it to be personal. I went online and bought her a platinum diamond necklace with an engraving on the back. It read, "Alice + Jasper = Eternal Love." Simple, to the point, and undoubtedly true. I put a rush on it, so that it arrived Sunday evening, just in time.

I was trying to keep it a surprise, but keeping something like this from a psychic pixie is like trying to keep crack from a crack-fiend. Alice knew before I even typed in Esme's credit card info. She came running into the room, and tackled me in a bear hug so tight I could not breath.

"Can't breath," I had said.

"Oh, Jazz! I love it!" she had said, releasing her death grip.

So, my gift would not be a surprise, thanks to her visions, but at least it would be memorable. I spent the whole day setting up the living room, then took a shower, and got dressed. I finished just as Rosalie came in the door with the take out.

"Do you know how bad traffic in Port Angeles was on a holiday? I love you little brother, but do not ever ask me to do that again!" Rosalie exclaimed, hugging me and handing over the bags of food. "Anyway, I have to go get ready for my night out with Emmett!"

Rosalie and Emmett were going to the local diner and then over to a friend's house for a wild teenage party. Esme and Carlisle also had romantic plans elsewhere, so Alice and I would have the house to ourselves.

Alice came down the stairs in a beautiful red dress saying, "Here, let me help you with those," as she took one of the bags of food. We made our way up the stairs and to our apartment, with minimal kissing. Then we had a deliciously romantic dinner in the candle light.

When we finished, Alice handed me a small neatly wrapped package. "What is it?" I asked.

"Open it and find out."

I slowly opened it to reveal a leather wristband with "Jasper + Alice," surrounded by a heart, soldered into it. "Thanks! This is super cool. Where did you get it?" I said, putting it on.

"Some locals from the Makah reservation set up a booth in town selling them. I saw it last month when Esme was taking me out for driving practice, and I thought it would be perfect."

"It is almost as perfect as you, my heart," I said leaning down for a kiss. "And with the way you drive, you need all of the practice you can get. I'm scared to be in the car when you drive. What if you crashed and I lost the baby?" I teased. Alice was a horrible driver, almost as bad as Emmett. But, not nearly as bad as Edward.

"Hey, I'm getting better. Esme says I should be able to get my license on my birthday. That way I will be able to drive the two of you around."

"Un-uh! No way am I letting the baby in a car with you driving. If I have to go through all this pregnancy trouble, the least you can do if not kill her in a car crash."

"I won't crash!"

"Well, the baby will still get whip-lash from the way you swerve all over the road!"

"I've gotten a lot better, just you wait and see. I don't swerve anymore. Plus, in a few weeks, it will be you with the permit swerving over the road," Alice teased.

"I cannot possibly be a worse driver than Edward."

"By default," she said kissing my nose.

"I'll show you default!" I picked her up and sat her on my lap, tickling her. She seemed to be getting tinier, but Carlisle said it was actually me growing, not Alice shrinking. I was now six foot one. Although, it was a little awkward as my baby bump had grown again. I was now five months pregnant.

After our tickle fight, which I won by the way, we watched a romantic movie, cuddling up on our new couch. I really liked the flat screen I got for my birthday: it made our living room feel like more than just a room with a couch.

We did not get to finish the movie, and I was not paying attention to it anyway. I was paying attention to the way Alice's short hair falls against her neck. Then I started kissing her neck. And, well, we are teenagers, so I got a little carried away and we ended up missing the end of the movie and wound up in bed. So, Alice and I finished it the next day.
