Jaspers POV
The rest of the night me and Bella sat in the living room and talked for hours, before Bella said that we should go upstairs and at least look like we have been to bed, so we went upstairs and changed and got into bed for the last 2 hours until Bella said the girls would get up. As soon as we were under the covers Bella snuggled against my chest and closed her eyes, I knew it was impossible for us to sleep, but if anyone came in at 5 in the morning and we were still awake, it would look strange.
About a hour later, I heard someone opening the door to the bedroom.
"Bella?" I heard a small voice call into bedroom.
Bella moved from under my arm and looked at the door.
"What's the matter Sapphire?" Bella asked as the small girl came into the room.
"I don't feel well. I feel sick." The girl said. Bella sat up and opened her arms, and the girl came onto the bed and cuddled into Bella's chest. Bella put her hand on the girls head.
"She is warm. How long have you been awake Sapphire?" Bella asked her.
"I don't know, not long. I didn't want to wake you." Sapphire said from Bella's lap.
"Oh sweetie, you should have woke me if you weren't feeling well. Come on, we are up lets go get you something to drink." Bella, said as he got out of bed with the small child on her hip. I watched Bella, leave the room and I could image her caring for her own children. Looking after them when they were ill, caring for them when they were upset. Since I have known Bella, I have always said that she looked like a mother, but now I have seen her with children I have no doubt in my mind that she is still a mother. She is a mother without her children.
I got up and followed her downstairs to see her in the kitchen with Sapphire sitting on the work top with a wet cloth on her head.
"Is she ok?" I asked Bella.
"I think so, just a stomach bug I think, but just to make sure I'm gonna give her some water to cool down and then some medicine before she goes back to bed." She told me.
She went into the cupboard and pulled out a bottle of pink liquid that even from here I could tell was sweet because I could smell it. I wrinkled my noise at the smell.
"I know, its sweet, but that is the only way that the children will drink it." She told me. she put a small amount onto a spoon and put it in front of Sapphire's lips so that she would take it. As soon as she took it, Bella picked her back up and went to sit on the sofa.
"Are you tired?" she whispered to her.
Sapphire nodded her head and I watched as her eyes drooped.
Bella got her comfy in her lap again and I Sapphire closed her eyes and fell asleep. I knew why Bella was holding her, her body was the best thing that she could give the child to ensure that her body temperature went down.
"Are you going to call her father?" I asked as I sat on the other side of Bella, not wanting to make the child any colder than she would be.
"Yeah, but not yet it is too early. I have a feeling that he is in Amy's so I will tell her to come get her two when I call, I don't want to risk them all getting it." She said, stroking the child's hair.
It hadn't been an hour before the rest of the children decided to wake up. Shan was the first to wake up.
"Do you mind getting Shan, I don't want to move her." Bella asked me.
I got up and headed for the room where the baby was sleeping. When I got in there, Shan was standing in her crib holding onto the bars and looking at me.
"Good morning little one, are you going to come to me or make a fuss?" I asked her in a strange baby voice that I had never heard leave my lips before. The child stretched her arms out to me, but fell down as soon as he hands left the bars. I held onto her hands and stood her up in her crib again. She seemed to like this, I could feel how happy she was. She smiled at me showing her some of her baby teeth that were coming through. After a few minutes of this, I picked her up and bounced her on my hip for a bit. She smiled at me and then laughed. There was not a sound in the world that would compare to a baby laughing and you couldn't help but smile and laugh back at the sound.
"Come on, otherwise Bella is going to think I've eaten you." I teased her, before kissing the top of her head. That seemed like such an automatic thing to do that it look me by surprise.
By the time that we got down stairs, Bella was looking over her shoulder at us.
"I didn't think you had eaten her. don't say things like that to her." Bella scolded me when I came back into the living room and put Shan on the floor with her toys so that she could crawl around for a bit.
"She likes you." Bella said looking at Shan on the floor who was crawling towards me, she grabbed hold of my pyjama bottoms to pull herself up again.
"She is going to be walking soon if she keeps this up, I said as I held her hands again to see if she would move around on her feet. She didn't quite do it, she stumbled after about 2 steps. I picked her up again and sat back down with her on my lap. Shan grabbed a handful of my hair and pulled it. It surprised me when the top of my head stung a little bit from the force that she was using to pull my hair. Bella saw my reaction and giggled.
"Never under estimate babies, they are stronger than everyone thinks." She said.
I untangled Shan's hand from my hair before putting her back on the floor.
Just then I heard foot steps coming down stairs. Bella turned around to see Ruby and Emerald holding Sophie's hand as they walked down the stairs with her.
"Morning girls. How are you feeling?" Bella asked them as they came into the living room.
"We're ok. What's wrong with Sapphire?" Ruby asked when she saw her sister.
"She isn't feeling very well. Once you have breakfast now, you have to get dressed while I call your parents. It would be better if she was asleep in her own bed." Bella told them. I could feel the concern that Ruby had for her little sister, as she watched Bella hold her. Soon, Bella moved Sapphire again and lay her on the other sofa.
"She is getting cold." She said to me.
She took the girls into the kitchen to make them something for breakfast. Just as Bella had sat the girls down, I heard my phone vibrating upstairs. I left the living room and went to get my phone. Honestly I was expecting it to be Alice or Emmett, but I was a little surprised by the number that I saw flashing in the screen.
"And what do I owe for this unforeseen pleasure?" I asked into the phone.
"Fine don't talk to me then!" Peters sarcastic tone come from the other end of the phone. I couldn't help but smile at my oldest friends tone.
"How are you Peter?" I asked as I sat down on the bed.
"I'm fine, actually I was calling to let you know that me and Charlotte were planning on coming to visit you. It has been ages since we hung out." Peter said.
"Where are you now?" I asked him.
"We are driving through Pennsylvania. We are going to hunt here and then turn around and come and see you and your freaky little coven." He said. I could here the joking tone that was in his voice when he said that my coven was freaky.
"Actually I'm not in Washington, I'm in Boston so you are closer to me than you think." I told him.
"What are you doing there?" Peter asked.
"I've kind of moved here now." I said into the phone.
"Why there? I mean there are so many other places that you could live." He asked.
"My girlfriend lives here so I came with her." I said quickly.
"Hell no! Jasper has finally found someone. I have to see this." I heard him cover the mouth piece of the phone to talk to Charlotte.
"How thirsty are you Charl? Can you wait until the next state?" peter asked, sounding excited.
"Yes I can wait. I want to see Jasper just as much as you do." I heard Charlotte answer him.
"Right me and Charlotte will be there in a few days, we have to stop and hunt before we come and see you. that way we can stay longer then." Peter said sounding excited.
"That's great, I'll let Bella know so that you don't just turn up on her doorstep." I told him.
I heard him chuckle on the other end.
"That's fine, I'll call you and you can tell me exactly where you are. See you soon." Peter said before he hung up the phone.
I went back down stairs smiling. Bella was on the phone when I get down there I was assuming to Jason.
"Yeah she is fine, she woke up early this morning with a temperature saying she wasn't feeling very well." She told him.
"Where is she now?" I heard him ask her.
"She went back to sleep on the sofa. I gave her some Calpol to bring her temperature down and that has seemed to work, but I don't want the others to catch it so can you come and pick them up?" she asked.
"Sure Bella. give us 10 minutes to get dressed and we will be there." he said/
"So you had a good time last night then if you ended up in bed together." Bella smirked into the phone.
"Um yeah. I'm not going to talk to you about this. I'll be there in a bit." He said.
"Don't worry, I know Amy will tell me every little detail." Bella told him smiling.
I heard the poor man groan before he hung up the phone.
"Have the girls finished their breakfast?" I asked her.
"Yeah. All they have to do now is get dressed and then they will be ready to go home." she told me.
The girls were sitting on the sofa in the living room and were looking over the back of it at us.
"Come on girls, go get dressed and than your parents are coming to get you." Bella told them.
Ruby and Emerald got up and went upstairs and Sophie came to hold Bella's hand.
"Will you help me Bella?" Sophie asked in her little voice.
Bella took he hand and walked up the stairs with her.
"Jasper will you get Shan ready?" she asked me.
I walked into the kitchen to see Shan in a high chair making a lot of mess with what looked like her breakfast. she laughed when she saw me come into the kitchen and raised her arms for me to pick her up, which I did with care, not wanting to get baby food all over my clothes.
Once I got her upstairs, I pulled her clothes off her and pulled her new clothes out of her bag and put them on her. by the time that I had done this Bella had already got the other girls dressed and ready to go. There was a knock at the door when I put Shan back on the sofa, Bella went to go answer it. As soon as the door was open, a chorus of "Daddy" and "Mommy" could he heard from the children's mouths. Shan somehow got down from the sofa and crawled as fast as she could to her mothers leg.
"Have they behaved?" Jason asked Bella as he picked up Sapphire who was still in her pyjamas.
"of course they did. I never have any trouble with these." Bella said smiling at the girls.
"Well, I better take this one to bed. Thanks again Bells." Jason said as he walked away with his 3 girls.
"So how was your date last night?" Bella asked Amy.
"It was amazing, but I'll have to come over and share with you when there aren't little ears around." She winked at Bella before turning around and saying good bye. Bella closed the door and walked over to me and wrapped her arms around my waist.
"Who was on the phone?" she asked.
"Oh, it was Peter, he is my oldest friend. Him and his mate are in the area and want to come and see us. Is that ok?" I asked her.
"Sure that's fine. When are they going to get here?" she asked me.
"He said a few days, but it could be sooner. He hasn't seen me in a very long time and he is anxious to see the women who has stolen my heart. He probably thinks I'm making you up." I told her smiling.
"We'll we will just have to make sure that he see's I'm real wont we." She said as he kissed me. I hadn't been able to kiss her properly in what felt like ages, so when I kiss her back, a small moan escapes her lips. I picked her up and carried her upstairs where we stayed for the rest of the night.
The next few days me and Bella didn't do a whole lot, we just sat around the house doing normal stuff. We had taken a day out so that we could go hunting before Peter and Charlotte came.
We were just sitting in the house when my phone vibrated in my pocket.
"Hello." I said into the phone.
"Jasper me and Charl are nearly there, just remind me again where the house is." Peter asked. I told him Bella's address and he said he would be there within the next 5 minutes.
"They are nearly here darling." I said as I kissed her forehead.
"Good. Oh I forgot to bring that vase down from upstairs. I'll just go and get it." Bella left the sofa and went upstairs. As soon as Bella was out of sight the door bell rang and Peter and Charlotte were standing there.
"Jasper. How you doing?" Peter asked me bringing me into a hug quickly.
"I'm fine Peter. And Charlotte, looking as lovely as ever." I said as I gave her a loose hug.
I heard Bella coming back down stairs.
"Peter Charlotte, I would like you to meet Miss Isabella Swan." I said her name proudly.
At that point 4 things happened in quick succession.
Charlotte looked at Bella and gasped.
Bella gasped and dropped that vase that was in her hands, causing it to shatter.
And then Bella screamed!
