The next morning-if you could call eleven morning- we were sitting on the couch, simply relaxing. Actually, Jasper was sitting and I was laying across the couch with my feet in his lap. He didn't seem to mind though. He was working on this second bowl of cereal, staring intently at the TV. And as much fun as I was having looking him over while wearing nothing but his gray boxer briefs, I knew I had some business to take care of.

I grabbed the phone off of coffee table. I turned it over in my hands, thinking of what I would say to her. I had never set anyone up on a date before. And, I had only been set up once and that was with Edward. And, we saw how well that worked out. I nibbled on my lip, flipping the phone in my hands.

"Going to call Alice?" Jasper asked, sitting the now empty bowl on the side table. He started to rub my sock covered foot, massaging his thumbs over the ball of my foot. I could feel my eyes roll back into my head as I sunk lower into the couch, sighing contently.

"Not if you keep doing that." I said in an airy voice.

He chuckled. "Sorry." Jasper slowly released my foot and I groaned-loudly.

"Don't stop!" I complained.

He chuckled again and began to rub from my ankle to my bare calf. I moaned softly, laying my head back. His hands were always so warm and soft. His silk voice flowed over me, though it took a moment to realize what he was saying. "Go ahead and get Alice over with."

"No," I pouted as he pulled his hand away again.

He slid his hand from my ankle to my thigh, just underneath the hem of my new cotton nightie. It was nothing too sexy, but he seemed to like it, which was the goal. "I'm spoiling you, aren't I?" He asked in a teasing tone.

"In all the right ways." I mumbled as I slid down on the couch further, my eyes closed in pleasure.

"Get it over with, and we can get to the spoilin when you're done." He winked at me playfully.

I frowned, earning another chuckle from him. I wrapped the white sweater I was wearing tighter around my body. As I dialed the number Jasper began to rub my knee in a comforting way. I was hoping that he wouldn't mess with me too much on the phone. I knew it would only be fair payback for what I did to him the other day.

"Hola!" Alice said brightly as she answered her cell phone. I knew she was probably at work, but that never seem to stop her before.

"Hey, Ally. Are you busy?" I asked, half way hoping that she was so we could talk about this another time.

"I'm never too busy for you. What do you need?" She asked. I could hear crunching in the background. If they weren't doing someone's hair up there, they were eating or gossiping. I'm surprised she wasn't three hundred pounds. Alice always seemed to eat like a horse. I had no idea where she put it either. I was so jealous of her.

"Well, you see, I have this friend-" I began but she quickly cut me off.

"Is the friend really you, Bella?" She asked in a sarcastically sweet voice. I huffed and held my chin up. Not that it did any good.

"No, smart ass. It's an actual friend. His name is Seth. He saw us the other day when we went to visit Jazz at work. He's another bartender. And, he kind of thought you were attractive-" I rambled on until Alice stopped me.

"Are you trying to hook me up?" She asked in an incredulous tone. I realized the crunching had stopped, which probably meant that her hand was on her hip.

"Aw! Come on! When was the last time you went out?" I asked her in return, trying to redirect some of the questions back toward her.

"Last week." I could practically see her chin raise in the air through the phone. I knew that tone exactly. She was trying to make herself look better.

"With someone of the opposite sex?" I pressed. The pause was all I needed to hear to know I was exactly right.

"Shut up." She muttered.

"Come on, one date and if you don't have a fantastic time I'll let you have free reign of my hair. By the way Alice, Seth is pretty hot." Jasper sent me a look that was somewhere between a pout and a glare, causing me to giggle. "What? He is."

Alice laughed. "Tell Jasper I said hi. Is he doing his angry puppy thing?"

I laughed "Yes, he is." I answered her before saying, "she says hi, by the way." I smiled at him playfully, trying my best to look innocent. He wasn't buying it. I turned my attention back to Alice. "So, what do you say, Ally?"

"I don't know." She sighed heavily. "I haven't been in the mood to date lately."

"It'll give you an excuse to shop." I tried to think of some other way to entice her. Doing my hair didn't even phase her, which was surprising. I never willingly let her do my hair, if I didn't have to. She scared me with hot irons and hair dye.

"Ugh, fine. One date. That's it. And, you're going shopping with me and I get to do your hair, when I choose." She said in a stubborn tone, sounding like a teenager.

"You act like this is torture." I said with a laugh.

She made a noise like a raspberry before we said our goodbyes. Though Alice was a social butterfly the idea of dating was not her favorite, which surprised me. I hoped it worked out for her, no matter who she was with.

As I set the phone back on the coffee table and realized that the TV was now turned off. I turned to look at Jasper, who had a sly little smile on his face. Without a word he picked me up and threw me over his shoulder. I squealed, playfully swinging my legs. "What the hell are you doing?"

"So, Seth is hot?" He said in an amused tone.

"If you go for short guys, yes." I answered honestly. "Don't tell me you're jealous."

Before I could even realize what was happening I was being slung on the bed, landing straight in the middle. Jasper was crawling over me a moment later. "So, what do you go for?" He asked, completely ignoring my last statement.

"Half naked ones." I snorted at my little joke.

He rolled his eyes. "That's not a wide range at all."

"How about half naked ones with curly blond hair, crystal blue eyes, and a sexy accent?" I asked, playing with the band of his boxers.

"Still a wide range." He grinned a little bit, a small blush covering his cheeks.

"What do you want? A name or something?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"That would be good." He said, lowering his lips to my shoulder.

I knew exactly what he wanted and I wasn't going to give it to him. Not that easily anyway. "Keep doing that and I might tell you."

He growled playfully against my neck. "Mm, yes ma'am."

OooOooOooOooOooO

We were laying on his bed, tangled up together. Jasper had a huge smile on his face. I couldn't help but giggle when I looked at him. I'm sure I had one very similar to his. He looked so happy and so was I. His head was resting on my bare stomach, every once in a while giving it a little kiss or nuzzling it with his nose. It felt amazing, making my stomach clench with the slightest touch.

"So, do you think they'll like each other?" He asked suddenly, looking up at me through his thick blond eyelashes.

I shrugged. "I like Seth. And, they're both balls of energy. They can keep up with each other." I giggled. "Seth probably doesn't get too many girls that are shorter than him either."

Jasper laughed and nodded. "Probably right. Alice probably makes him feel down right tall." I could see the respect and care in his face when he talked to her. It wasn't attraction, or anything I needed to worry about.

I smiled. "You still really care about Alice, huh?"

"Of course I do. She's a friend. And though I'm not in love with her, I do love her. If that makes sense." He said, resting his chin against my belly button.

"It does." I pushed a random strand of hair out of his eyes. "You're a sweet man, you know that?."

He blushed and buried his face in my stomach, kissing it lightly while his hand massaged my bare hip. "I just want everyone to be happy."

OooOooOooOooOooO

"Oh! My god, Bella! Seth is amazing!" Alice gushed a week later. Apparently he wasn't amazing enough to get me out of shopping and hair styling. They'd gone out four times in the past seven days. She seem to have that far off look in her eyes and a goofy grin since the second she met him. Seth wasn't too bad to work with now either.

"I knew you'd like him." I smiled at her.

She turned on a dime in her tiny yellow car. Apparently being happy made her drive even crazier than normal, if that was even possible. I clutched the handle, tightly. I closed my eyes, praying that we didn't die. I did not want to die today.

"Maybe I should listen to you more often." She giggled. "About men anyway. Not so much about clothing."

"Gee, thanks." I mumbled.

We had already gone shopping, done the hair thing, and even had lunch. We weren't heading towards home though, I noticed. She seem to realize what I was about to ask. "Do you mind if we stop at the store? I need to pick up some tampons."

"Yeah, I probably should too. I'm should start on the..." I counted it out in my head and stopped quickly. "What's today?"

"The nineteenth, why?"

"Fuck!"

OooOooOooOooOooO

"I'm pregnant!" I cried into the pillow of Alice's couch. The pillow wasn't thick enough to block out Alice's snickering.

"You've taken three tests. They've all came out negative. You're not pregnant." I didn't have to look at her to know she was rolling her eyes. I knew I was being a tad dramatic but I didn't care. I was scared out of my mind.

"But, I'm late!" I reasoned.

"How late?" She asked, pulling the pillow away.

"A day..." I mumbled under my breath.

She snorted. "Are you serious? God, you get a little and you get paranoid. You did the same thing when you were with-"

"Shut up." I hissed. "This is serious. One time we didn't use protection. I'm pregnant. I just know it."

"And, when was this?" Alice asked, sitting beside me.

"That night I came to your house after seeing Edward." I frowned, leaning my head back against the back of the couch.

"Okay, that was a little stupid." She admitted.

"He was just being so sweet and we got so into it that I didn't even realize until later. I'm not even sure if he realizes it. I mean I know he wouldn't do anything like that on purpose. Sometimes you just forget." I rambled and rambled on until she put a hand on my shoulder.

"Okay, look. I don't think you're pregnant. Look at how much stress you've had this month? With men and the holidays, work and all that. I mean everything makes you late. Even the weather change. But, if you haven't started by the time you leave to go to your folks on Wednesday call and make an appointment for Monday. So, that gives you what? Three days. I bet you'll start by then. It's fine." She said in a tone that could be called sisterly.

"I don't want to be pregnant." I whined.

"Yeah, but if you were imagine the cute baby you'd have. It would come out with an accent." She snickered.

I slapped her leg. "You're not funny."

"I am, just a little bit. Admit it." She smiled.

"Only a little bit." I said, resting my head against her shoulder. "Should I tell Jasper?"

"That's up to you, but I think he might be a good shoulder to cry on, if you need it."

"I don't want to worry him."

"I won't tell him. But, maybe you should consider telling him." She told me. "Now, who wants ice cream?"

This chapter is a little short, and I'm sorry about that. And you probably hate me right now. NO ONE realized that they didn't use protection. That surprised me. Do you think she's pregnant or paranoid? By the way, Bella's reaction is based on my friend Jennifer and Alice is totally me. I've had this conversation. And it turned out the same way.

Oh by the way, my favorite line for the last chapter was "Don't punish me for being stupid." Though the third nipple thing cracked me up.

Well, I know all you wonderful people are going to the midnight showing tonight. So am I. Have a great time everyone!
