"No!" I gasped in shock, my hands moving down to my stomach; there was a definite bump there. "But, I'm a vampire! If we could have kids how many would Rose have at this moment? This is impossible!" I wailed, sinking on my knees to the floor. Jasper turned round at my emotion change and hesitantly wrapped his warm arms around me.

"Alice.. I need to know something first... Have you… well...you know…" He gulped in pain.

"What? Jasper please I don't need anymore shocks!"

"Am I enough for you? I mean you're not with anyone else are you?" He looked down ashamed of himself before grabbing the bags and retreating to the boat without a second glance or even waiting for my answer. Leaving me with a few clothes, to change into I thought to myself as I slowly dressed, not really paying attention to the clothes, not even caring what I looked liked. I trudged carefully into the bathroom and lifted up my shirt to stare at the tiny bulge rising out of my stone stomach, I was surprised how rock-hard it felt underneath my sensitive fingers. More pain shot through my stomach this time much worse and I found myself keeled over head first and I landed on the stone floor with a deafening thud.

"Alice? What was that noise? Are you ok?" I heard his voice get stronger and clearer as he came closer and closer until he found me curled up in pain on the floor and knelt down next to me, lifting me onto his lap as he tried to calm me down with his gift. "This is why we need to see Carlisle; can't you see how much this child is hurting you? I'm going to get this child out of you, even if it's not mine I don't care!"

"Excuse me?! What do you mean that it's not yours? Oh my days you seriously think that I would cheat on you?! Good to now that you trust me that well!" I said, hurt, as I pulled out of him embrace and turned to head for the door. Before I could take one step I felt his hand wrap around my skinny wrist as he twisted me around so I could look into his eyes.

"Please excuse me for that outburst of anger; I had no idea what I was saying. I would be most honoured to have a child with you're my dear, I was just shocked with the news."

"Do you really mean that?"

"Of course I do," He replied, his hand resting lightly on my stomach, happiness instantly replacing pain on his features. "I used to think about a little Alice running around the house, but then I saw all the pain it caused Bella and Edward with Nessie and it would kill me to see your beautiful face full of pain. Now come on love, we have got to get going to see Carlisle." He wrapped his arm around my waist, guiding me around the rooms out into the beautiful sunlight. His face sparkled like a thousand diamonds and I found myself lost in the shine. Jasper gave me a little smug shake to bring me back to reality as we boarded the boat.

All the way home Jasper held my hand in comfort as my left thumb stroked the baby bump in wonder as I stared out the window. Would it be a boy or a girl? Would they have Jasper's features or mine? My brain was racing away with all the different possibilities of the child.

"Alice, Jasper?" Carlisle gasped in amazement as we started to ascend the porch steps up to the big house. "What's happened? Is everything ok?" He asked worriedly as his eyes focused on mine and Jasper's hands holding my stomach.

"Everything is ok mentally Carlisle, thanks for asking," Jasper smoothly replied, looking into his fathers eyes, practically glowing with excitement.

"I don't understand son, would you care to explain?"

"Would it be possible to gather everyone together so we can announce the news properly?"

"Of course, don't just stand there you two! Come inside and relax while I gather the family," he smiled as he disappeared into the house, calling everyone into the living room.

As we emerged into the room everyone had already settled into their seats, they were surprised at the sight of us.

"What are you two doing back here? Got fed up already? Wow,"

"Be quiet Emmett, we would still be there and away from you if we didn't have some news to tell you," Jasper mocked Emmett.

"What is it then? Hurry up and tell us!" Edward looked at me questioningly because I was keeping him out of my head.

"Well... I…. don't know… how this happened….. But you see…" Jasper stammered, he didn't think this part through much.

"Spit it out Jasper!" Emmett yelled excitedly.

Just as Jasper sucked in a deep breath to blurt out the answer another sharp pain rippled through my stomach but this time it was different, I clamped my hand over my mouth and ran out of Jasper's arms to find my body bent over the kitchen sink, vomiting blood violently. Jasper was there the whole time, rubbing my back in a soothing motion and stroking my hair. When I was finished he sat me on the counter and wiped my mouth clean, I leaned forward to rest my head on his chest. The pain was overwhelming; it felt like my stomach was on fire from the inside, slowing climbing up my throat and stopping in my mouth.

"What the hell just happened?!?" Esme cried, I looked round to find my family standing at the doorway, frozen at the scene they had just witnessed.

"Alice, what has happened to you?" Carlisle asked his usually calm features were alive with fear and pain; it was almost as bad as looking at Jasper in pain.

"I don't know how or why but I know one thing…..I'm pregnant….." I sobbed in pain.
