Hey, new chapter yay! how has Jasper coped with a house full of girls? well read on and you will find out. See you at the bottom :)
Bella's POV.
The girls looked at me smiling and looking as if they were up to something.
"Can we play with your hair Bella?" Emerald asked looking at her sisters.
"Well that depends on what you are going to do to my hair." I told them picking Shan up off the floor and putting her on my lap before she crawled into something.
"We wont do anything. We just want to play with it." Emerald said in a almost sing song voice that seriously made me think she was up to something. Then I had a idea of my own.
"Girls, you always play with my hair, and as Jasper had long hair as well and had never played this game before, don't you think I would be fun to play with Jasper's hair." I said looking over at Jasper and there was genuine fear in his eyes at the prospect of 4 young girls giving him a bit of a makeover.
"Oh no. you are not dragging me into…" but before he could defend himself, Emerald, Sapphire, Ruby and Sophie jumped on him and began pulling his hair.
"Gentle now girls, otherwise Jasper wont want to play anymore." I said taking Shan into the kitchen while Jasper amused the children.
"What do you want to do Shan?" I asked the baby as I sat her on the counter. She grabbed my hands and stood up, her feet still a bit wobbly, but I could see that she was proud of herself.
"Well aren't you clever Shan, standing up all by yourself." I said still holding her hands. She smiled widely at me and laughed loudly. She looked around the room and her eyes focused on the living room where I knew for a fact that Jasper was being tortured, but I couldn't find it in my self to want to go and save him. I was having too much fun imagining what the girls were doing to him.
"Bella Bella Bell. Can we have your make up?" Ruby came into the kitchen asking.
"No." I said
"Why not?" she whined.
"Because last time I gave you make up, poor Shan here went home looking like a doodle doll." I said looking at Shan again.
"We said sorry about that. Please, just something to make Jasper look pretty." She asked.
Personally I thought that Jasper looked fine as he was but there was always room for improvement. I put Shan on the floor and ushered her in the general direction of the living room before I went to my purse and pulled out an old lip stick and some eye shadow.
"I want these back. Please don't over use them." I said as I gave them too her. She smiled widely before running back into the living room. I started to busy myself with making the girls something to eat. It didn't take me very long to prepare the food and it was about time I went to save my man.
"Girls dinner is ready." I called into the living room and 4 very happy looking girls came running in followed by a not so happy Jasper who had a giggling Shan on his hip.
I couldn't help but laugh when I saw him.
The girls had done the exact opposite of what I had said and had very much over used the make up I had give them. Jasper had bright eye shadow up to his eye brows and lipstick marks all over his face and bright red lips. And his hair, was in all shapes. Some of it was up, some was down, some was clipped and plaited.
I pressed my lips together when he came over to me and gave me Shan.
"This one is my only friend right now." he said pointing to Shan.
"Oh and why is that?" I asked putting Shan in her high chair and trying her with some solid food.
"Because she is the only one who hasn't been mean too me." he said with mock hurt in his voice and looking over at the four girls in the middle of the kitchen. They all giggled.
"Am I not your friend at the moment then?" I asked him.
"No, as you started all this." He said smiling. I knew he was joking, but it still hurt when he said he wasn't talking to me.
He kissed me loudly on the cheek, leaving a big red kiss mark there.
"I'm going to wash this off and try and do something with my hair" he said as he left the room.
"Girls you are going to have to say sorry to Jasper later, you know that." I told them.
"Yeah we know, but it was fun while we did it." Ruby said and the other girls nodded their heads in agreement.
After dinner Jasper came back downstairs looking like his normal self again and the girls apologised to him saying that they were only playing and wanted Jasper to be their friend. He accepted their apology and then looked at me.
"Are you going to say sorry?" he asked me.
"I'm sorry. I honestly couldn't resist." I told him. He smiled at me and leaned in and pecked me on the lips and I knew I was forgiven. The 4 girls in the room all voices their disgust at our physical display of affection all at the same time.
"What, he is my boyfriend, shouldn't I be allowed to kiss him?" I asked.
The girls didn't say anything else after that and found some other ways to amuse themselves. Around half 7 I noticed that Shan was getting tired and I knew she would have to go to sleep soon.
"I'm going to get Shan ready for bed. Will you be ok here for a few minutes?" I asked Jasper.
"We'll be fine wont we ladies. Why don't we put a movie on." Jasper suggested. The girls went straight to the Disney movies and pulled out Beauty and the Beast and put it into the DVD player.
"Thank you." I said to Jasper so only he could hear me.
He smiled at me and sat on the sofa with the girls and watched the movie.
Shan was almost fast asleep by the time that I got her into her baby grows ready for bed. I didn't even have to rock her that much before she was sleeping. Once she was out I put a dummy in her mouth so that she would relax more and put her in her cot and tucked her in before walking out of the room.
I went back down stairs to see the girls still on the sofa with Jasper watching the film.
"Is the baby asleep?" Jasper asked as I sat on the other end of the sofa where there was room.
"Out like a light." I said as I got into the movie.
After a few minutes, I could feel someone climbing into my lap. I looked down expecting to see Sophie, but it was Sapphire who was cuddling into me.
"You ok Saph?" I asked her.
"Yeah, I'm ok. Tired." Was all she said before getting comfy on my lap and falling asleep. That did surprise me a but, as normally Sapphire was the last one to fall asleep. Ruby, Emerald and Sophie were still wide awake and quite happy sitting with Jasper to watch a movie.
The film lasted for 2 hours and surprisingly so did the girls. Sapphire was fast asleep by the time the movie finished.
"Jasper, I'm going to put this one in bed ok." I told him as I began to climb the stairs for the second time tonight. I did have to wake her up so that she could put her Pyjamas on but she didn't stay awake for very long, as she was asleep again by the time that her head hit the pillow. I walked back down the stairs and I heard the girls talking to Jasper. I loved that they got on with him so well and were actually enjoying themselves while he was here.
I went back into the living room to see Sophie back on Jaspers lap and Emerald and Ruby were sitting next to him.
"Jasper do you love Bella?" Sophie asked him. I smiled and leaned against the doorframe on the living room, knowing the girls didn't know I was there.
"Yes I do. I think she is the most beautiful person in the world." Jasper said to Sophie.
I already knew this, but hearing Jasper say it to someone else just made me feel loved and happy.
"Do you want to marry her?" Sophie asked him, and I could hear the smile on her face.
Now she wasn't the only one who was interest in the answer to this question.
"Yes, I do. But I have to ask her first and I don't even know if she will say yes." He told her.
"She will. She loves you." Ruby said.
I couldn't help but smile at this. I knew that I would be spending the rest of eternity with this man, and not really needing to be married to him. But thinking about it, Bella Hale sounded quite nice. I giggles from the doorway and Sophie looked over Jaspers shoulder at me.
"Hi Bella." she said, her cheeks going an adorable colour pink.
"You guys weren't talking about me were you?" I asked them, looking at Ruby and Emerald.
"Would we do that Bella?" Ruby asked innocently.
I smiled at her and she gave me a look letting me know that she knew I knew the answer to that question.
"Right, I think its time you went to bed. I don't know what time your parents are picking you up in the morning so come on." I said picking sophie up off Jaspers lap and putting her on my hip and going up the stairs.
"Night Jasper." Sophie called as I carried her. the other two followed me leaving Jasper on his own in the living room.
It didn't take me long to get the girls settled and into bed. Sophie started yawning as soon as I got her pyjamas on her and was asleep by the time that Ruby got into bed. Once all the girls were asleep I went back down stairs and sat on the sofa next to Jasper.
"So how was that?" I asked him as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder.
"I'm actually tired. How do you do that? I never knew that keeping children occupied would be hard. I just assumed that they would amuse them selves." He admitted.
"Well, normally they do, but you were here so you were something new to play with." I told him before kissing him quickly.
He kissed me back quickly, this was the first time all night that we were able to be normal with each other without young girls making noises at us.
Jasper pulled away and looked at me.
"What?" I asked.
"Its just, I cant believe how happy this makes you. it is coming off you in waves. And even if I couldn't feel your emotions, I can tell from your eyes Bella. doing thing honestly makes you happy." he said.
"It does. It is the only thing that is stopping me from crying all day. I know they are not my children, but having children around me fills a void that I never thought could he healed." I whispered, but voice becoming thick with emotion.
Jasper must have caught on to the emotion that I was feeling because he wrapped his arms around me and brought me even closer to his body.
"Bella, you know I would do anything to make you happy. I hate seeing you like this." He said.
I turned my head so that I could look into his golden eyes.
"I know Jasper, but there are some things that even you cant give me." I told him and cuddled back in against his shoulder.
I felt his press his lips against my temple before resting his head on the top of mine.
I don't know how long we sat there for in this position but it didn't feel like long enough I could have stayed like this forever.
I heard Shan upstairs getting restless and I didn't want her waking up and waking the girls up.
"Shan is starting to wake up, I'm going to go see if I can settle her." I said before leaving him to go upstairs.
Jaspers POV
I knew that doing something like this meant a lot to Bella and that they made her happy, but I never knew how much they made her happy. I could see it in her face tonight when she was with these young children. The way she spoke to them, acted around them, held them. Exactly the same way that a mother would hold her children. It hurt me so much knowing that Bella had lost everything to become what she is today, and knowing that there was nothing that I could do to bring back what she had lost. That was the one emotion that I constantly felt coming from Bella. Loss, sadness and even though she covered them up and covered them up well, I knew that they were always there.
Bella came back down stairs from settling the baby down and sat in the exact same stop from where she had left. I wrapped my arms around her and we stayed in this position for the rest of the evening.
Right, what did you think of that? you know the way to let me know, leave me reviews and i will update as fast as i can :P reviews show me that you love me and enjoy my story :P :P so show me how much you like it.
