"Thanks so much 'Al!" I yelled to the flyer. He nodded and smiled. I jumped out of the plane and into the airport. Walking around I became more and more excited to see my newborn child and Bella. Since she was in pre-term labor I decided to go to the hospital gift shop as the cab dropped me off. I know this sounded selfish, but c'mon. I wanted to get them something.

I whistled walking around the shop, and found some "Happy Birthday!" Balloons, along with some "I'm a Mom!" and"I'm a Dad!" Ones too. I set my eyes on the jewelry part of the gift shop-Why they had one I had no clue, - and walked right in getting an Idea.

I walked up to the counter smiling brightly.

"Hello, may I help you?" The man at the counter asked.

"Could you maybe show me your engagement rings?" I smiled. He nodded and he leaded me into a small section in the glass panels. They were all beautiful, until I set my eyes at what screamed "Bella!" at me. I smiled.

"Could I see that one please?" I asked and pointed to the silver ring with the princess set stones. It was beautiful, but I wouldn't give it to her until after the baby was born. Surprise!

He pulled out the ring and set it in my hand. Wow, "How much?" I asked,

He went to the main counter and checked a piece of paper. "Uhm…. $4,542." He said looking up. I smiled,

"I'll take it." I said and he rung me up.

Four thousand wasn't much compared to me, my family goes way back leaving me tons of cash. Bella would love it.

I walked up to the elevator and waited. I put the ring box in my pocket and walked into the elevator. I stepped in and pushed the "8" button. The doors opened and I walked out. "Excuse me, were is room 2232?" I asked a bypassing nurse. She blinked at me for a couple seconds, and stuttered. "D-down the hall t-to the left." She said I chuckled and thanked her. I walked down the hall and spotted Alice talking with Edward sitting on a bench.

"Did I miss anything?" I asked laughing again, and Alice jumped up and hugged me yelling, "JASPER!" I laughed and hugged the pixie back. I shook hands with Edward. "Have you been taking care of my Bella?" I asked them both they nodded, and smiled. "Where is she…?" I asked hesitantly. "In her room sleeping. Her contractions have slowed because of the medicine, but she should give birth in a day or so." Alice said and I nodded.

I walked over to the door and pushed it open slowly. A small and very faint beeping was going and I knew it was her pulse monitor. Walking around the corner I saw my Bella lying there sleeping peacefully. The first thing I noticed was her stomach. It didn't look like she was nine months along and that faintly scared me. I carefully walked over and stroked her hair. She is so beautiful. I am one lucky son of a bitch.
She began to stir, and I stepped back raising my hands, like in surrender. Her eyes fluttered open and she smiled. I smiled back.

"Bella," I whispered hugging her carefully.

"Is this a dream…?" She asked breathlessly. I shook my head and laughed. "No 'darlin. I'm here, it's me." I whispered and silent tears running down my cheeks.

"Ohmigosh! It really is you Jazz!" She sat up quickly hugging me and kissing my face and neck. "Bella…" I said, I couldn't believe it was her.

"Is he okay…?" I asked rubbing her stomach, she sighed. "I hope so," She cried.

The doctor came in and smiled. "You must be Jasper," He said and I nodded. "I'm Bella's doctor, Dr .Freeman." He said and we shook hands. "How's my son?" I asked putting a hand on Bella's stomach. He laughed, "Well I wouldn't say that,"

Fear rushed threw me and I gasped, "Its okay it's okay! It's just, it's not your son, it's your daughter."

Wow. I smiled and breathed a breath of relief. "She's doing fine; Bella just went through some stress before her pre-term labor started. But the baby will be healthy, Bella the blood you saw was just some unneeded cells." He said. We nodded. "Well, I've looked at your contractions. How are they Bella?" He asked.

"Hell, they hurt worse now."

"Well it looks like in a few hours we'll have our baby." The doctor smiled and walked out. I smiled at Bella, she smiled back but It looked forced. I frowned and smoothed her hair. "I'm sorry Bells. I'm here." She nodded and kissed my hand. I stood and kissed her forehead.

Wow…A girl.

"I know exactly what we were going to name her." I smiled she smiled back.

"What Jazz?"

"Jaycee Lynn Whitlock."

EPOV

Fuck. Whitlock's back, well that ruins my chances with Bella. No. No! I wasn't going to let him stand in the way of Bella and I. She was mine first and she'll always be! I sat back on the bench and put my hands threw my hair, and sighed.

Why in the hell did I do that to Bella? What the fuck is wrong with me?

Jasper walked out the door and Alice walked in with two mocha latte's. Jasper came and sat down next to me, and we shook hands. "Glad your back man." I lied smoothly. –He may be my cousin, and I love him to death, but Bella and I are one. And he's getting in the fucking way,- He smiled and thanked me.

"I know you and Bella had something; but she means the world to me and my baby girl…" He said. Girl? "Whatcha' gunna name her?" I asked nonchalant.

"Jaycee Lynn Whitlock." He smiled. It fit. Totally, and it was beautiful. "Beautiful." I complimented.

"Are you afraid if you're going to have to re-deploy out?" I asked quietly. He sighed. "Yes. But, I hope I don't have to, and not right this second." He said and I nodded in understandment.

Alice burst from the door and had a look of scare some on her small face. "She feels like the baby's coming!" She said and a doctor ran in, and we were hot on his trail. "Jasper!" Bella gasped and gave me a look. Jasper ran to her side and kissed her lovingly, and I wished it was me comforting her like that. The doctor checked her out and said"Well Bella, it looks like it's time!" He smiled and Jasper let out a big breath.

I really hoped that this would be over soon.

A/N: Yes! Lol, Jasper is home! And, yes Edward still wants Bella, and Bella just wants the baby out. Haha, wonder where they got the name? Re-read chapter 5! Can anyone not wait until Eclipse?
