February 14th, Valentine's Day. 1 Year Later…
BPOV
It's Valentine's Day and Jasper and I are in Maui, Hawaii. Tabitha is staying with my mom and dad.
A lot has happened in a year.
Firstly, Charlotte gave birth to a little boy, Jackson Lewis Whitlock on the 4th of January. Tabitha and he are only 8 months apart. She absolutely adores him, they are always together. Char is pregnant again and is due on the 31st of May.
Secondly, Rose is 5 and a half months pregnant with a girl. Her and Em have been trying to get pregnant for years and they have managed to once before but sadly, they lost the baby. They were losing hope but then they found out they were pregnant. Em was over the moon at the news he was going to have a daughter.
Alice is 4 months pregnant with twins.
Alice and Edward got married on the 24th of June. Rose and Em got married on the 16th of August.
Randall and Toshiro moved to Cali. Santiago and Irina became a couple. They moved to France.
Lastly and most excitingly, I'm pregnant… with twins. I'm 3.5 months along and my due date is July 31st. Tabitha is excited to be getting 2 more siblings. She pats my belly and talks to them.
Jasper is ecstatic. We don't have any names picked out yet. I've never seen him this happy. He always talks to the babies.
We have also been talking about when we are going to tell Tabitha about Maria. We have decided to wait until she is older but tell her the complete truth.
We have been in Maui for 2 days and are staying another 4.
We've got a beach cabin thing. We've done a few hiking trails but Jasper says I can't do anything too strenuous. I've told him I'm pregnant, not an invalid, but he doesn't listen. It's definitely very sweet.
Currently, we are walking along the beach. I'm wearing a flowy summer dress and (since we are walking through the water) holding my sandals. Jasper is wearing shorts and a shirt.
"So, what are we going to do today?" I asked Jasper.
"I have a few things planned."
"And what would that include?"
"Well, it does involve a romantic meal on the beach."
"Really?"
"Yep."
He stuck to his word and later that night after the sun went down, we had a romantic meal.
It was really nice. The sun had set and the moonlight reflected off of the sea.
We were the only people on the beach. Since our cabin is on the beach, the table is just in front of it.
The table had candles on and the food was delicious.
"This is really nice."
"Had to do something nice for the mother of my children."
I smiled. We talked all through the meal.
At the end, Jasper said that he needed to tell me something. I told him to go on.
Jasper got down on one knee.
"Bella, I love everything about you. How you so easily accepted Tabitha and me. You let me in and trusted me when you didn't have to. I've been with you in your weakest and strongest moments. You know everything about my past and somehow, you love me. You're the mother of my children and my best friend. So I'm asking you if you would be my wife as well. Isabella Marie Swan, will you marry me?"
"Yes!" I jumped up and he slid the ring on my finger.
He grabbed me and kissed me. I broke the kiss and he put his forehead against mine.
"I love you, Jasper Andrew Whitlock," I whispered.
"I love you too, Bella."
He grabbed me in his arms and walked to the bedroom, he put me on the and helped me undress. He quickly followed.
He crawled up the bed and kissed me passionately.
He worked his way down to my sensitive nipples, teasing moans out of me.
He moved lower. When he got to my bump he stopped and kissed it.
Quickly, he moved on and got to where I wanted him most. I was already wet and ready. He licked my pussy lips.
"Jasper," I whined, wriggling my hips. He put his hands on my thighs, stopping me from moving.
Slowly, teasingly, he licked my entrance.
"Bella, baby, you taste so good."
He lapped at my juices and sucked on my clit. He then inserted one, then two fingers.
"Jas, I'm gonna…" I came shouting his name.
He let go of my legs and moved back up, claiming my mouth. I could taste myself on his tongue and it just turned me on even more.
"Jas wanna ride you."
He smirked and got himself situated. I climbed onto him and he gripped my hips as I slid down his length.
I threw my head back and let out a long moan when he was fully sheathed.
I started moving and Jas let me move at my own pace.
"Yes, baby, fuck."
His hands snaked up my body and found my nipples, he played with them as I started to move faster.
I was close but I couldn't quite get there, I twisted and turned until I found that spot inside of me.
"I'm close."
"So am I baby." He took control then and pounded up into me, his hand was frantically rubbing my clit and suddenly, I came with a cry.
He came soon after and I felt his hot seed filling me.
I collapsed beside him.
"You're the one for me, Bella, I love you."
"I love you too." I leaned in for a languid kiss.
I had to pull away because one of the babies were pushing on my bladder.
"Sorry, gotta go pee." He chuckled as I got up to go to the bathroom.
I did my business and came back out.
We made love two more times before we both collapsed.
In the morning, I texted Ali and Rose with a picture of the ring. It was beautiful and dainty, definitely my style.
We spent the rest of our time away on the beach or in bed. I called everyone and they all congratulated us. We decided that we are going to get married before the babies get here, sometime around mid May.
When we got back, Tabitha ran up to us (as well as a nearly 2 year old could run) and Jasper scooped her up,
"Daddy!"
"Hello, Tabby."
She started wiggling so Jasper put her down. She ran over to me and she grabbed onto my legs,
"Mommy."
I couldn't scoop her up so Jasper did and then passed her to me.
"Hello, baby. Did you behave for grandma and grandpa?"
"Hmmm, yah." I kissed her on the cheek.
"Did she behave?" I asked mom.
"Of course she did! Now, let me see that ring!" I laughed and Jasper took Tabby.
"That's beautiful," Mom gave me a hug.
"I knew you two were going to get married. I knew it the moment I saw you together." I blushed, Jasper laughed and put one arm around my waist.
"Mommy, hungry."
"OK, baby, let's get you home and then we'll get you something to eat."
"Thank you so much for looking after her, I really appreciate it."
"No problem, Bels. We are always here to help." I hugged dad and drove home.
We had completely redecorated the house. I loved it, we turned it from the house Jasper shared with Maria to a home that we could raise our family in.
Tabitha has her room two rooms down and the nursery is beside ours.
It was a nice feeling to finally be back home after a week away.
Jasper fixed up something for her to eat and I sat on the couch.
"Babies." Tabitha climbed up the couch and touched my stomach. I rolled up my t-shirt so she could see my belly.
"Yes, babies." She gently patted it and pressed a sloppy kiss on it.
"Tabby, guess what?"
"What?" She had her head on my stomach.
"Mommy and daddy are getting married."
"That's good."
Tabitha was beautiful. She has black curly hair and the same steel grey eyes as Jasper. She was always smiling.
"Are you excited to meet the babies?"
She laughed, "Yah."
Jasper came in and took Tabitha to eat.
I texted Rose, Char, Kate, Riley and Ali. I invited them over to talk. They all said they could be here tomorrow.
Tabitha and Jasper came back 10 minutes later.
We spent the rest of the day lazing around as a family.
Rose, Char, Kate and Ali came around at 1 pm. We all just chatted about being pregnant and Jasper's proposal. Char brought Jackson with her and him and Tabitha were playing. Riley was watching over playing with them.
The men all left to have some guy time.
"When are you getting married?" Char asked me.
"We haven't decided on a date but we're thinking sometime around mid-may after Tab turns 2. Hopefully, none of us will give birth too close to the time."
"That sounds like a great idea! We will all help with the planning and all that." Ali told me.
"So, any baby names?"
"Well we were thinking Sophia Elizabeth. It sounds nice and I've always wanted a little girl called Sophia." Rose said. It was a really nice name.
"We don't know what it's gonna be but if it's a boy we were thinking Harrison Jay." Char told us.
"We really haven't thought of any names yet." I told everyone.
"Same as Bella. We've been so busy and haven't had the time to think about any names." Ali said.
We spoke for the rest of the day until everyone had to leave.
The following weeks passed in a blur. We had planned the wedding. It was going to be at his parents barn in Texas on the 15th of May. We also decided it's going to be a medium ish wedding. There are about 128 guests.
Tabitha is going to be the flower girl, she is really excited. Kate, Rose, Ali and Char are going to be the bridesmaids and Riley is going to be my man of honour. Peter, Garrett, Edward, Emmett and Alistair are going to be the groomsmen.
We now know the gender of the babies, both of them are boys. Tabitha was really excited about getting two brothers and Jasper was happy to be getting sons. I was also happy that I would get to have a daughter and two sons.
It's now the 27th of April and Emmett called and told us that Rose had gone into labour. This was worrying as she's 35 weeks pregnant, so basically a month early.
We rushed over, we had to take Tabby with us because we had no one to give her to, luckily she was well behaved.
Rose was in labour for 6 hours and gave birth to a baby girl on the 28th April at 1:33 am. Sophia Elizabeth Swan weighed 5 pounds 1 ounce. She was definitely tiny but beautiful. She had to be put in the NICU. Em and Rose were in love. I could already tell she would have Em wrapped around her little finger.
We celebrated Tabitha's second birthday shortly after that on the 8th of May.
Before I knew it, it was the night before my wedding. My last night of being single.
We didn't really do much. Mainly because we couldn't drink. It was strange not seeing Jasper but I did have Tabitha.
The morning was chaotic, to say the least. Everyone was running about to get all the final things sorted.
Tabitha looked beautiful in her little dress and with her hair up in pigtails. She knew what to do and was excited.
My dress was also beautiful, it had an open back and sleeves. My baby bump was obvious but it didn't take away from the dress, Ali said it just added to it. Char gave me the veil from her wedding for 'something borrowed'. My dress was 'something new'.
Char recommended a girl called Angela and her boyfriend, Ben, to be the photographers. We chose them and so they're taking all the pictures.
"Are you ready, Bella?" Rose poked her head in.
Ali was doing the finishing touches on my makeup. Char was talking to me because I was nervous. Mom and dad walked in,
"We have something for you." Ali told me the makeup was done and I stood up to talk to mom and dad.
"This comb belonged to my mother. We put sapphires in it so it's 'something old' and 'something blue'." Mom told me to sit down and she put it in my hair.
"It's beautiful, Bels."
"Thanks dad."
"We need to get into position. See you soon, Bels." Char, Ali and Rose left.
"My baby girl is all grown up!" Mom gave me a hug and then left.
I walked with dad and we got into position.
Where we were standing we could see Tabitha walking up the aisle but couldn't see Jasper. Everyone else was already there. I could see Ali's barely contained excitement and had to smile. Riley also looked excited.
There were lots of 'aws' as Tabby walked down, throwing rose petals.
"You ready, Bels?"
"Just, don't let me fall, dad."
"Never."
Then, it was our turn. We chose the song, 'A Thousand Years' for when I walked down the aisle. I heard the piano and cello and waited for a few seconds. Then we started to walk.
I looked up at dad and I could see the tears in his eyes.
I scanned the crowd. Obviously all the CSW people were here and Jasper's parents but there were other people too. Seth and Leah Clearwater and their mother, Sue. Rachel, Embry, Paul, Quil and Claire. Spencer was also here.
Esme was holding Sophia and Darlene was holding Jackson.
All the bridesmaids and groomsmen looked perfect too. Everyone smiled at me and Riley gave me a little thumbs up.
Carlisle is the officinator and he nodded at me.
The moment I saw Jasper I wanted to run to him but instead I walked slowly and took the time to study him.
He was as handsome as when I first laid my eyes on him. His hair was perfect and looked the same as when I had first met him. His grey eyes were sparkling with happiness. He looked amazing in a suit.
Dad gave me to Jasper when we reached him.
We wrote our own vows and Jasper went first,
"Bella, you know me better than anyone else in this world and somehow still you manage to love me. I would do anything for you, including getting our remote from across the room, even if it was not I who placed the remote so very far away. You are my best friend and one true love. There is still a part of me today that cannot believe that I'm the one who gets to marry you."
I was crying by the end and I took a deep breath before I began saying my vows,
"Jasper, I have to catch my breath to believe this is real, that I am marrying my true love, my heart's desire, and my best friend. My commitment to you is one I've given willingly, absolutely, and without hesitation. I am yours utterly and have been since the moment we met. We were married before this day and will always be."
Jasper slipped the ring onto my finger and mine his.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride."
I leaned up and kissed him, he smiled into the kiss and everyone erupted into applause.
We walked down the aisle together, as husband and wife.
The reception went well. Tabitha said her own speech when Jasper went up to say his. He help her on his hip and she talked into the microphone,
"I really liked being the flower girl. Mommy and daddy are very happy and I love them and my brothers."
I teared up when she said that.
Our first dance song was 'Honeybee' by The Head and the Heart.
"I love you, Jasper."
"I love you too."
We danced through the whole song.
After that everyone else came up to dance. Tabitha wanted to dance with Jasper so I sat down and talked to Riley and Alistair.
"We're so happy for you, Bella."
"Thanks, Ri, I'm really happy. I can't believe I'm married."
I really couldn't.
Happy wasn't a strong enough word for what I was feeling. I was surrounded by my friends, family and husband.
Today was the best day of my life.
AN: I really hope you like this chapter.
The 'A Thousand Year' instrumental is a cover by ThePianoGuys, I would highly recommend listening to it.
Honeybee is also a great song.
Finally, there will be a delay in the final chapter/ epilogue because I'm not going to be able to access my computer to write on. Really sorry for the inconvenience.
Anyways, stay safe and WEAR A MASK,
TTE (Bethany) :)
