[6 Years Later]
Bella stroked her paint brush over the canvas. She was painting a landscape of the Japanese gardens her, and Jasper visited while traveling in Japan with the kids and Chuck. She heard the door open and close, and smiled when a few moments later Jasper's hands came around her from behind, his hand brushing over her swollen belly. His mouth kissed her neck.
"You're home rather early."
"Well, we finished up early. Chuck sent a car to pick up the boys from school before stopping for his meeting with Edward." Jasper said, and then looked at the canvas. "Mmm. This is beautiful."
Bella smiled. "Thank you." She said and put her brush down and turned in Jasper's arms. His hair was shorter now, which was for the business look. He was wearing a suit, a dark charcoal, and his button up shirt was a slate blue. He was wearing a band on his hand, a symbol of commitment between the three of them.
Jasper kissed her, and then heard the blip on his phone. "Mmm. Carter is awake." He said and pulled his phone out of his pocket to look at the monitor. Carter was 2, and was down for a nap it seemed. Carter had bright blonde hair like Jasper had, and deep honey eyes, and was practically the spitting image of Jasper. It was clear where the genes were for him. Carter took on the hyphenated Bass-Hale name, as did the other children, when they had it changed. It was a process, but they managed to get it recognized in court, and Jasper was added to the birth certificate of both the boys, and Carter. As long as there was one marriage legally, and no other marriage licenses involved, they were doing nothing wrong.
Bella walked with Jasper up the stairs to Carter's room. He was all smiles when Jasper walked in the room.
"Dada." He said giggling, and Jasper picked him up out of his crib.
"Hey bud." Jasper said, and kissed his forehead. "Hmm. He's a little warm."
"Oh, the shots from yesterday." Bella said, sighing. "I always hated this part." The baby kicked, and she put her hand over her belly, feeling the thumps. "He's moving around a lot. I'm going to check on Harvey." She said, and disappeared down the hall to the other nursery, where their 10-month-old was sleeping still. He was the quietest of the boys. The baby that hosted dark hair and eyes like Bella and Chuck. He was a preemie originally coming when Bella was only 32 weeks pregnant with him. They had a large family, and they loved it. They were pregnant again, with another boy, so the odds of a girl ever happening seemed to be lost.
[5 Months Later]
Compton Lewis Bass-Hale was born four months ago, 7 pounds, 8 ounces. His hair a brilliant blonde like Jasper's. She was recovered perfectly, and was down to the same weight she was before Compton.
All the kids were sleeping when Chuck got home, Jasper with him. Bella was in bed, reading a book, sitting up in bed, wearing a lacy teddy. She looked up at them when they walked into the bedroom.
"Oh damn." Chuck said, his eyes raking over Bella. "Are we doing this tonight?"
"Oh, we are. Last try." Bella murmured, pushing the covers back.
Jasper smiled. "If you end up pregnant with another boy, I'm going to say that there's nothing else we can do about it." He said, loosening his tie.
Bella smiled. "Well, all we can do is try." She said, and Chuck moved to the bed, leaning down, and kissing her. He leaned up, and smiled. She bit her lip. "Can you do something for me?"
Chuck raised a brow. "You are looking devious."
"Can you do the thing that you and Jasper did for me…a few weeks ago. That was…"
Jasper grinned. "Oh, hell baby, you are especially naughty right now."
"Hormones." Bella said, smiling and shrugging.
Chuck smiled and turned to face Jasper. "Hmm. We don't do this very often. You're much better at this than I am."
Jasper stepped forward, his hands moving to Chuck's shirt, and slowly unbuttoned it, his fingertips brushing against Chuck's chest, and then he pushed his shirt off. At the same time, Chuck unbuttoned Jasper's shirt, shrugging it off him as well.
Watching Chuck and Jasper undress each other, was a turn on for Bella for some reason. It happened a couple times while they were all drunk, and well, a few weeks ago, they weren't drunk, and Bella enjoyed it way more.
Jasper smiled at Chuck, reaching a hand up, to cup his cheek. "Love you." He said with a wink, and watched Chuck smile, before Jasper shifted, going to his knees before Chuck.
Bella let out a sigh of pleasure.
Chuck looked at her. "You are very naughty." He said and then felt Jasper take him into his mouth, and he shuddered a little, having to grab onto the post on the bed to support himself. He hissed out a breath. When Jasper leaned back, he stood and looked at Bella. "Satisfying?" Jasper asked. He was the only one out him and Chuck that had actually slept with men before, so it wasn't an uncomfortable thing for him to do, as long as Chuck was okay with it, and if Bella wanted that. Other than that, they were both focused on pleasuring her.
"Oh yes." She murmured, and then stood, pulling her teddy off, springing her breast free.
Before long, the three of them were on the bed, taking turns pleasuring Bella in different ways. She enjoyed having both of them in her at one time, Jasper sliding into her ass, and then Chuck thrust into her at the same time, filling her up tight. She moaned out, feeling the tension build again for her release, and then she was spilling out, washing over Chuck, which sent him over the edge, and he thrust into her deep, emptying himself inside. When he finished, he pulled away, shifting in the bed, where Jasper had her positioned doggy style, before sliding into her, thrusting into her hard and fast, while Chuck kissed her, his tongue tasting her moans as Jasper pushed her towards more pleasure. He moaned as grew close to his end, his hands gripping her hips as he erupted, thrusting into her a few times as he milked himself dry, before coming to a stop. He was panting a little. He brushed a hand through his hair, even with it a little shorter, it was shaggy on top. He pulled out of her, and they lay in the bed together, resting, their heart rates coming down.
"I feel like the closer to 30 we get, the more winded I get." Jasper said, blowing out a breath.
Chuck laughed. "Speak for yourself." He said and rolled on his side when his phone went off. He sighed, grabbing it and looking at it. "Ah, Dan closed that deal in London." He said and Jasper high fived him.
Bella rolled her eyes, but she lay there for a while before getting up and grabbing her robe.
"Why are you getting up?"
"Because Compton is about to wake up." Bella said.
"Are you psychic?" Jasper teased, and then the monitor sounded on her phone, alerting her of Compton waking up. "Damn. She is psychic."
Bella smiled, and then left them in bed to go check on Compton.
[Three Weeks Later]
Bella woke early in the morning, taking care of the kids, and getting them ready for school, or breakfast. She felt a little queasy, and while Connor and Jayce were getting dressed in the clothes set out for them, she went to the bathroom, quiet, not waking Jasper or Chuck, who were still asleep in bed. She took out a pregnancy test and she took it, setting it on the counter, while she splashed some water on her face, feeling slightly hot. When she looked back at the test, she smiled, picking it up.
Pregnant
She was excited. This would be number 6, and the last of the Bass-Hale brood, but they were hoping for a girl this go, with there being 5 boys in total already. She left the test on the counter and went back out to help the kids finish getting ready.
Bella got Carter, Harvey, and Compton sitting in their highchairs, and the twins out to the car to be taken to school, when Jasper emerged first. He walked over to Bella, kissing her softly, while he buttoned up his shirt. "Mmm. Chuck still sleeping?"
"No, he's awake. Getting ready. We saw this morning." Jasper murmured, moving a hand over her belly.
Bella smiled. "Yes. I'm going to call Esme when the office opens and get an appointment set." She said, and then kissed Jasper softly again, and then moved to give Carter and Harvey their food, that they were able to feed themselves, before getting breakfast for Compton.
Jasper grabbed juice for Carter and Harvey, setting it on their tray after checking the lid on the sippy cups. "So, you think we're going 6 out of 6, or you think we'll get a princess?"
Bella smiled. "I don't know yet. I won't know until after I go to my first ultrasound, and get a feel, for what we could be having." She said and fed Compton a spoonful of bananas. It was his favorite.
Chuck emerged, smiling big. "This is amazing." He said, going to Bella and kissing her on the way to the fridge.
"Number 6 is it guys. Boy or girl. I'm done." She said and smiled at Compton to get him to smile so she could feed him more.
Chuck smiled. "I got it." He said, and took a drink of the protein shake. Jasper was leaning against the counter. "Are you doing the Gender DNA thing again like with Compton and Harvey?" He asked, biting into an apple.
Bella nodded. "Yeah. It's pretty accurate, I'd say. We'll know sooner."
Chuck's phone rang, and he slipped it from his pocket. "Hmm. This is Chuck." He said and paused. "Okay. Yeah. I did tell him to come there. He's a family friend." He paused. "Yes, I have a job for him. He's a vet Michael, treat him with respect. Don't get mouthy with him." He said and was silent a moment, obviously listening to the other side. He looked at his watch. "I'll be at the office at 8. Push back the meeting at 9 until Dan's flight touches down." He said and then hung up.
"Jared's here?" Bella asked.
"Yeah, told him when he was ready, to come to Bass Industries. I have important work for him. Could use his expertise." He said with a smile.
Jasper looked at his phone. "I'm swamped in meetings today and tomorrow. Babe, are you sure it's okay for Rose to stay here for a week before she leaves for LA?"
Bella nodded. "Of course. She's your sister."
Rosalie had been the distant one in the family. After everything that happened, with Jasper being a part of this relationship with her and Chuck, she was a little put off, but she was coming around some. Mostly because of the kids. She was a model, and spent a lot of time in Paris, but had a fashion show to be at next in LA. Anastasia told Rosalie it would be a good time for her to connect with her family, and get to spend time with the kids, and well, Rosalie went for it.
"Alright. Well, if she gets to be too much, kick her out." Jasper said, and then leaned up away from the counter, and kissed her, and then kissed the tops of the boys' heads. "I've got to run. Love you all." He said and was gone.
Chuck smiled. "Rose is gonna be a handful. You know that right?" He said, finishing his shake.
"She won't be that bad." Bella said and then kissed Chuck. "I love you."
"I love you too." He murmured. "Let me know when the appointment is with Doc, and I'll push my schedule." He said and looked at his watch again. "I have to run away too." He said and kissed her again, then the boys before leaving.
Carter giggled. "Dada love."
"That's right." Bella said, smiling at her beautiful almost 3-year-old.
A few hours later, Rosalie was there. She had a lot of bags for just a week. Bella had Gene put her stuff up in a guest room.
"So, are you excited for the show in LA?" Bella asked Rosalie as they walked into the sitting room.
Rosalie nodded. "I am. It's the biggest one going on in LA for Chanel. How's your…painting? Jasper said you paint." She was attempting to be cordial with Bella.
"Going well. I've sold a dozen pieces. I have a few pieces in the Art Museum here in New York." Bella said with a smile.
"How are the kids?" Rosalie asked.
"Well, Jayce and Connor turn 7 soon. Both love Star Wars. Carter turns 3 next month, and he's in love with Paw Patrol at the moment. Harvey is 16 months old, and he's just on the move all the time. He enjoys trucks, like the tonka ones, and Compton is 6 months old, and is starting the teething thing. Seems to be fascinated with the stars." Bella relayed.
Rosalie smiled a little. "Jasper used to love stars. When we were kids, he had the glow and dark ones on the ceiling and our parents got him a telescope when he was 10, so he could look at the moon. He was convinced that there was something more to the moon, than just a big rock in the sky."
Bella smiled. "Yeah, he bought a telescope and uses it with Connor and Jayce. It's one of their favorite things to do together."
Rosalie's smile faltered a little. "Um. Being a mom…. how is it?"
"I love it." Bella said, smiling. "The kids keep me grounded sometimes."
"You don't regret…. not knowing for sure, who belongs to who?" Rosalie asked. "I'm sorry if that's…an invasive question."
"No. We don't. We kind of know that Carter most definitely is genetically a match to Jasper. They look almost identical. But no, we have no desire to go through all the unnecessary testing." Bella said. "I know what we have isn't conventional."
Rosalie shook her head. "I understand it. My brother loves both you and Chuck. It's not my style, but I'm happy he's happy." She offered a smile.
Bella smiled back and her phone rang, and she answered. "Oh. Dr. Cullen. Yes." She said and smiled. "Monday is great." She paused. "Yes, I took the test this morning and I'm 2 weeks late." She relayed. "I'll see you Monday." She said and hung up.
"You're pregnant?" Rosalie asked, a little shocked.
Bella smiled. "Yes. We found out this morning."
"Wow."
"What's wrong Rose?" Bella asked.
Rosalie swallowed. "I'm pregnant…" She murmured.
"Oh. Have you been to the doctor?"
"I have. I'm 10 weeks pregnant, and…I'm not sure who the father is because…. I woke up and…" Tears came to her eyes.
"Oh no. Rose. I'm terribly sorry."
Rose wiped her face. "I don't want Jasper to know that it was not consensual, but I don't know if I'm ready for this either. I have so much I want to do before I wanted this." She said, sniffing a little.
"Rose, you have options." Bella said, leaning forward, and taking Rosalie's hands in hers and squeezed them.
Rosalie nodded. "Um. I have thought about a lot of options, and I'm going through with the pregnancy. I just don't know, if I can be a mom."
Bella nodded. "Okay. Well, when your brother gets home tonight, let's just talk to him okay? Have you talked to mom and Lou?"
Rosalie shook her head. "I don't want to bring shame."
"You're not bringing shame on the family." Bella said softly. "Your parents are very understanding people. You know that."
Rosalie nodded. "You're right."
Bella smiled, and then heard the alert on her phone that Compton was awake. "I'll have Gene make us some tea, okay?"
Rosalie nodded and smiled and watched Bella get up to go get Compton.
When Jasper made it home, he was exhausted, but happy to be home. He made it home after Chuck barely. He went and kissed Bella softly. "Hey, how are you feeling this time around?"
"Good. Only nauseous a few times." Bella said with a smile.
Jasper looked at his sister, kissing her cheek. "It's been a while since I've seen you. How have you been?"
Rosalie set her water down. "Um. Okay." She said and looked at Bella.
"Appointment is Monday at 2pm." Bella mentioned.
Jasper nodded and looked to Chuck. "I should be able to make it."
"Same." He said and stood and went to the bar and poured a drink for himself and Jasper, and then one for Rosalie.
"Oh, none for me Chuck." Rosalie said.
Chuck raised a brow. "As long as I've known you Rose, you've never turned down a drink."
"I can't drink anymore." Rosalie said, looking over at Bella.
Jasper nodded. "We all should quit. We're not getting any younger." He said with a laugh, taking his drink from Chuck.
"I'm pregnant." Rosalie breathed out.
Jasper set his drink down. "You're pregnant?" He asked, a little shocked.
Rosalie nodded. "Um. I'm 10 weeks pregnant. The LA show is the last show I'll be able to do before I get too big." Tears pricked her eyes, and Bella stood and moved to her, her arms going around her, and Rosalie lay her head on Bella's shoulder. Bella ran a hand up Rosalie's back, rubbing in circles.
Jasper ran a hand over his hair. "Um. Have you told mom and dad?"
Rosalie was crying hard now.
"Shh. Rose, it's okay." Bella murmured. "No, she hasn't." She answered for Rosalie. "Rose, take some deep breaths. It's going to be okay. We'll figure it all out."
"I don't want to be a mom." Rosalie said, leaning back, wiping at her face. "I know that seems selfish, but I just…I'm not cut out for this. I can't raise a baby."
Bella grabbed Rosalie's hands. "You have other options, we talked about this earlier."
"I'm going to give it up for adoption, I think that's…that's the best."
Chuck shook his head. "Wait." He spoke up. He looked at Jasper, who still looked so shocked. "We can do this."
Bella looked at Chuck. "Are you suggesting what I think you're suggesting?"
"Rose, we'll raise the baby." Chuck set his drink down. "We'll make sure he or she is loved and has everything they need."
Rosalie looked up at Chuck. "I couldn't put this all off on you guys. I don't want to burd-"
"It's not a burden." Bella murmured.
Jasper finally found his voice. "Um. What about the father?"
"I don't know." Rosalie said, wiping more tears. "I uh. Was at a party, and I slept with a few different…guys."
"It doesn't matter." Bella interrupted anyone. "We'll figure it out later. Right now, we just take each day, by day."
It was decided then. They would work out the details later.
[6 months later: Lenox Hill Hospital]
"Rose, you're doing great." Jasper said, standing at her side. She was pushing and having a hard time with the labor. Bella was on bed rest, since the ultrasound at their first doctor's appointment showed twins again, and she was only 8 months pregnant, barely. Anastasia was in the room too, helping on the other side of her daughter.
Rosalie was exhausted, but she had to keep going. She needed this to be over.
An hour later, Rosalie was able to deliver a little boy, 8 pounds exactly.
Esme wrapped the baby in a blanket, and brought her over to Rosalie, but Rosalie looked away, she couldn't look at the baby. She didn't want to be reminded anymore of that night.
Anastasia looked at Jasper, and then Jasper reached out for the baby. "Esme." He said with a nod.
Esme handed the baby to Jasper and then helped get Rosalie situated.
Anastasia looked at her daughter. "Rose…are you sure you-"
"I don't want to hold him." Rosalie said. "Please leave with him Jasper." She said, still looking away.
Jasper looked at his mom, and then nodded, leaving the room with the baby.
[1 week later]
Walker Nicolas Bass-Hale was home with Bella, Chuck, and Jasper. All the paperwork was worked through. Rosalie signed away Walker, and then she was gone, flying back to Paris.
Bella noticed that Jasper was a little off lately, and she knew it was because of Rosalie. "Jasper…honey." She called to him as he stood in the room, cradling Walker. He looked down at his nephew that was meant to be his son. He had darker hair, an olive complexion, and his eyes were dark.
"He's so beautiful Bella, I just…I don't understand why." Jasper said and brought Walker over to Bella and sat on the bed next to her.
Bella took Walker and cradled him. She smiled down at him. "He is beautiful." She said and stroked his little cheek with her finger. "Everything is going to be okay."
Jasper nodded. "I know. I just. We said that 6 was it, and you're pregnant with twins, and now Walker will make 8."
Bella smiled. "It's okay. We have a large family, that's fine."
Jasper kissed her softly. "I love you." He murmured.
"I love you too." Bella said and then nodded. "Go and put him in his crib. I think my water just broke."
Jasper frowned and took Walker. "You're really calm."
"Well, we've been through this before. I know we're early, but I just know." Bella said. "Call mom and Chuck."
Jasper nodded, taking Walker to his nursery, and settling him in his crib, and pulled out his phone, calling Chuck first, and then his mom.
[Lennox Hill Hospital]
After 8 hours, the twins made it into the world.
Ellis Rylan Bass-Hale, the bigger twin weighing 6 pounds. He had bright blonde hair and was doing really well considering being early. Then Harper River Bass-Hale, the first girl, and the only princess of the large brood, born 5 pounds 8 ounces, the same bright hair as her brother.
Bella was tired from the entire experience and was going that morning to get her tubes tied, so there would be no more kids after this.
"We've got a princess." Chuck said with a smile as he sat on the bed holding Harper.
Bella nodded, looking at Chuck, holding their daughter. They had everything they ever wanted.
Eight children to complete their large family. She couldn't aske for anything better. Happiness had found her here in Upper East Side. Sure, things had been rocky for a bit, with how she started out in UES, but now, she was happy with how everything turned out.
Hey Upper East Siders, long time no see. Gossip Girl here, to spread the joy that the final Bass-Hale has made their appearance. New twins. With 7 older brothers, Harper Bass-Hale, won't have a problem with protection. A little princess amongst the princes. Nothing is more joyful than a family like the Bass-Hale's. Xoxo- Gossip Girl
