"I'd like to know that to."
I flipped around on the couch. "Dad what are you doing here I thought you were fishing with Billy?"
"I was but Jake got sick." He said. "Now you Hale need to explain what you are doing here."
"My last name isn't Hale. Rosalie does have a twin but it is not me. I somehow got switched with her real brother at the hospital." Jasper said. "And I am here because I wanted to apologize to Bella for how the family more importantly Edward left."
"That's not your job and what happen on my birthday wasn't your fault. Edward and Alice both should have seen the threat of having glass plates would have done if I had fallen into them which is what happen." I told him. "Besides I didn't want that stupid party anyway."
"Glad to see you forgive me."
"There was nothing to forgive it was an accident; that could have happened to Angela or Jessica if they were there."
"Bella what did happen on your birthday?" Charlie asked.
"Jasper and Emmet were fooling around like guys their age do. I got knocked into a table with the glass plates on them. Nothing happened then but the plates were knocked off and they shattered on the ground. I was fine until Edward pushed me behind him causing me to fall to the ground. I then cut my arm on a large jagged piece." I explained. "Edward then got pissy and started yelling at Jasper saying it was his fault. When in reality it was his fault. With parts of the blame going to Jasper and Emmet but they weren't the reason's that I got cut."
"So you got hurt because Edward moved you behind him after his brothers knocked you into a table?"Charlie asked.
"I actually jumped into the table to get out of the way of Jasper and Emmet who were running through the house. I actually think Emmet took something from Jasper and Jasper was just trying to get it back." I said. "Edward has archaic beliefs concerning women and how they can conduct or protect themselves in front of company."
"Where did he get those beliefs?" Charlie asked sitting down in his chair.
"I'm guessing it's because he was really Amish* or his parents were stuck in the 1900's." Jasper blurted out.
"That was not nice." I said.
I could see Charlie snickering in his chair and Peter and Charlotte were laughing from where they stood by the kitchen.
"I got one more question before I am okay with all this. Jasper how do you know Peter and Charlotte?"
"Peter is my real brother and Charlotte is his wife." Jasper replied. "He found me shortly after I started college a few months ago. He suspected that I was the baby that was switched. We had a DNA test done and it proved that he was my brother."
"Do you plan to sue?" I asked.
"Not for money we don't because we have all the money we need but we do plan to sue to have the law concerning newborn care in the nursery's stricter. You know better security with the camera's in the halls and the ID bracelets."
"You have really thought about this haven't you?" Charlie asked.
"Yes because the mistake kept me from my family. Not to mention several other babies were switched at the hospital but it was spotted before the babies were taken home." Jasper said. "It's just my family wasn't so lucky."
"What happen to the boy that took Jasper's place?" I asked.
"His name was also Jasper but his middle name was Andrew instead of Oliver." Peter said. "And he passed away from cancer little over six months ago."
"Oh I'm sorry." I replied.
"That's fine. The cancer was why we started searching for his biological family in the first place. There was that and after I got tested to see if I could donate bone marrow to him I was told that we didn't match genetically at all."
"And that's when the search started." I said.
"Yep," Peter replied. "Guys we have dinner reservations for seven o'clock. We'll have to leave now if we want to make it."
"I'll see you at school tomorrow Bella." Jasper said.
"I thought you graduated already." I said.
"I did but there are some credits I have to retake or they will take my degree away and it's easier to take the classes than to take the GED. I want the real thing not the off brand." Jasper said.
"Well I'll see you tomorrow." I told him.
I got up and showed him, Peter and Charlotte to the door. Charlie just looked at me with a raised eyebrow after I closed the door. I just shook my head and headed up stairs after collecting the pieces of my family history project.
I had placed my unfinished project on my desk before grabbing a book to read. It was a book from a series that reminded me of the Parent Trap with Lindsey Lohan but with a ton more drama and not for girls that were eleven years old. I was half way through the third chapter when Charlie came ups stairs and knocked on my door.
"Are you decent?" he asked.
"You can come it." I replied.
"Did you drop this down stairs or did Jasper or his brother drop it?" he asked handing me a photograph.
"Um no they didn't drop it, I did." I told him. "It was in a stack of pictures I had for my project. I didn't even realize it was there. I don't have pictures for every single family member so I have been trying to figure out if we really are related to the man in that picture or the man gave it to a female in our family before he left for war."
"Well if we are related to the man in this picture you should see if Jasper's family is to because he looks exactly like Jasper but that could be a freak occurrence." Charlie said.
"Oh I plan to but don't say anything to Jasper I mean finding out that he was switched at birth is bad enough so I'd think it would be best if we keep it to ourselves for now." I told him.
"My lips are sealed and let me know if you need any help." Charlie said.
"I will only come to you to see if a family member was arrested." I replied.
"I can only go back so far." Charlie said. "I'm going to order pizza if that's alright?"
"Could you get the non greasy kind this time?" I asked.
"I'll order a small without the extra greasy stuff for you and a greasy one for me." He countered.
"Okay. And I actually don't understand why you didn't do that before."
"I don't either but what do you want on yours?" he asked me.
"Black olives and peppers, but not the spicy ones. I was talking about the bell peppers." I told him. "The spicy peppers make me sick."
"I know that Bells. I have the going away dinner from when you were twelve to remind me."
"Please do not remind me of that. I puked all over you, Jake and Billy after I ate that chili." I told him.
"I'm going to order that pizza now." Charlie said probably mentally shuttering at the memory of my getting sick all over him.
I shuttered at the memory too but I shook it off and turned my attention back to my book. I read about three more chapters before my cell phone went off.
This is my new number.
The message said.
Who the hell are you? I sent back. And how did you get my number? I sent a few seconds later.
Jasper and Peter gave me your number. I don't know how he got it but then again he just knows 'stuff' like Yoda from the Star Wars movies. He sent me.
Oh well just so you now you should have put your name. I told him.
I'll do that. He said.
I heard a car pull up outside and a knock on the door a few seconds later and then not long after that Charlie's voice hollering up the stairs.
"Bells pizza is here." He had yelled.
"Coming." I yelled back down to him.
I put a book mark in my book so I wouldn't lose my place and sent a message to Jasper telling him it was dinner time for the human. I was rewarded with a picture of Jasper laughing from someone I assume to be Peter or his wife/mate Charlotte. I smiled then put my phone down and went to eat my supper.
Charlie was in the living room eating his pizza watching some game on the TV; I wasn't sure what it was. I went into the kitchen and ate my pizza alone in there.
