Staged

Chapter 10- First words and heartbreak

BPOV:

I heard Jasper growl as he saw Edward. I put a hand on him to remind him to stay calm. He composed himself and we walked into the kitchen to find Esme and Rosalie talking whilst making dinner.

"Jay!" Rose said and took the baby that was equally happy to see her, out of Jasper's arms and kissed her brother.

"You guys have such an adorable baby!" She said and walked into the living room, baby talking to Jaycee.

I laughed, "What's got her so happy?" I jerked my thumb at the direction to Rosalie, asking Esme.

"No clue," She laughed, "My daughter usually isn't this happy." Hmm…maybe she's pregnant…Nah,

"Smells good mom," Jasper said kissing his mother's forehead. "Well thanks honey, it's almost done too."

I walked back into the living room to see Edward holding Jaycee. Oh hell.

Quickly I walked over to him and stared. "What are you doing?" I asked calmly, "Uhm…Holding my cousin?"

"No no no! Jasper's pissed at you, and if he see's you holding her, he'll lose it!" I said quietly as possible and he sighed.

He passed the baby on to me, and stared at me. Those beautiful green orbs, that had stolen my heart years ago, still stayed in my heart.

"I still love you Bella," He said outta the blue. I didn't freak like I normally would, because truth was, I still loved Edward. But Jasper was my life.

I nodded. "I know. I still love you too, I always will. But were over," I said.

He nodded sadly, looked up and around the room, and kissed my cheek, walking upstairs.

I sighed and turned walking back to the party. I gave Jaycee to Emmett, and walked to the stairs; wondering if I should climb them, to talk to Edward.

My head jerked in the direction of Jasper's voice. He was walking toward me with a smile on his face. I weakly smiled back and I could tell he was getting worried.

"Bella, just forget him…he'll get over it sooner or later." He said softly playing with my hair. I nodded and kissed him fiercely. I pulled back and he smiled that sexy southern smile of his. I blushed, and we walked over to the dinner table to eat.

"Dinner's ready guys!" Carlisle said, and everyone rushed to the table. We all dug in and it was fabulous. Esme is an amazing cook. "Esme I would kill if you were my personal cook!" I said smiling. She smiled back, "Well thank you Bella. I'm glad you like it."

Edward never came down from his room and I ignored his thoughtfulness. Sarcasm.

Over dinner, Rosalie announced that she was pregnant, and I knew I was right on the mark. I smiled and congratulated the couple; and I could tell Emmett was going to be a great father, and Rose a great mother.

I sat and talked with Rose and Alice for a while, whilst Emmett and Jasper played on the X-Box with Jaycee sitting on Jaspers lap, playing with the buttons, causing him to lose. He laughed and kissed Jaycee making her giggle.

"Bella, is pregnancy like totally awful?" Rosalie asked. I laughed, "No Rose, not completely, the morning sickness sucks ass, but its overwhelming joy, and you can't wait to hold them in your arms." I answered looking at Jaycee playing with Jasper's hair.

I smiled. Ahh, my family.

Jaycee began to get tired so we prepared to leave.

"You have to bring my baby back to see her grandma!" Esme said kissing Jaycee, who was sleeping in Jasper's arms. "Sure thing 'ma," Jasper said kissing his mom goodbye, along with a hug from his dad.

(A/N: Edward was adopted by his aunt and uncle (Esme and Carlisle) after his parents died. He calls them mom and dad. Jasper and Emmett are Esme and Carlisle's real sons. Rose is Emmett's girlfriend. Alice is Bella's and Rose's Best Friend.)

We walked out to the car and Jasper put his sleeping daughter in her car seat, wrapping her up in a blanket so she wouldn't be affected by the AC.

The June air was horrid so I turned the AC on, and we drove home. I couldn't believe that Jasper would be gone in three days. I laid my head back against the head rest and sighed.

"You okay 'darlin?" Jasper asked putting his hand on my thigh. I placed my left hand on his, and intertwined our fingers. "Perfect." I lied easily.

JPOV:

"Bella," I said, my voice full of worry, knowing she was very devastated that I was leaving.

She looked at me, "What happened with Edward that was nothing." (A/N: Steal from New Moon!) She said, looking out her window.

"I just love you more than my own life Bells…I don't want to lose you," I said and she looked thoughtful, "I love you too Jasper. I won't ever let Edward come between us, or our daughter," She said and I looked in the rearview mirror, at my sleeping angel.

I pulled up our driveway, and got Jaycee's stuff, as Bella got Jaycee. We walked into the house and Bella put Jaycee to bed. I climbed into bed; achingly tired from the day, and fell asleep before my head hit the pillow.

(Departing Day)

I sighed as I packed my clothes and pictures of my family into my suitcase. I would miss them so much, and I prayed they would stay safe. Bella stood at the door, and I could see tears run down her face.

"Bells," I whispered and she ran over to me, jumping into my arms. She wrapped her legs around my waist and kissed me fiercely. She leaned her forehead on mine, "I'm going to miss you so much." She said, tears still falling. "You have no idea how much I'm going to miss you two," I said, feeling as if I'd start crying.

I let her down and she went to go get Jaycee dressed.

I went down the stairs, and set my bag by the stairs. My plane took off at 3:00 and it was now, 1:45. We had to leave in 15 minutes.

Bella came down the stairs with Jaycee in her arms, and I just had to laugh at this.

Jaycee was wearing an army jacket with a shirt that said, "My Daddy's A Marine." And some army shorts, along with her hair pulled up, pebbles style and a little army bow in her hair.

I smiled, "You adorable little girl," I said taking my daughter and kissing her multiple times. She squealed in delight, I'm going to miss that sound…

The area I was going to didn't allow phone calls, so I wouldn't be able to call my own family for a year and a half. Fuck myself for signing up for this shit.

I wouldn't be able to see my own daughter grow up, or my brothers kid being born, or being happy with my family.

BPOV:

"Flight 243 now boarding." I heard the loud speaker say.

I sighed and we walked up to the gate. I turned to Jasper and I couldn't stop the tears that were threatening to spill over.

"I'll be back before ya know it Bells." He whispered trying to calm me. He enveloped me in a tight hug, and whispered in my ear, "I love you forever Bells, and when I come back, I'll make you my wife."

I nodded and kissed him passionately. He kissed my cheek and turned to the angel in my arms. He smiled and picked her up. "Don't grow up to fast okay angel? I'll be back before you can say mama, alright?" he laughed, and I faintly smiled. She'd be talking and earful when he got back for sure.

He kissed her multiple times, and set her back in my arms, "I'll miss you two, like the earth misses the sun." He kissed us both one more time than got on his plane.

I cried on the way home, wishing after this was over, it wouldn't happen again. But, I knew it would happen, because the world is an evil place.

I picked up Jaycee and slinged her bag over my shoulder, I unlocked the door and walked inside sitting on the couch and snuggling her to me close, and I cried. We sat there for a moment and she touched my tears and scrunching her face. She turned her head and looked at me,

"Dada?"
