My family stood there in shock and silence as I cried into Jasper's chest quietly, Carlisle's calm voice broke the silence after a few minutes.
"Alice, I am deeply confused with this whole situation… You think that you're pregnant? How can this be possible?" He wondered.
"We don't know, that's what we came back to ask you about, is it possible?" Jasper explained.
"Well really the only experience I have had is with Bella but she was human at that time… would you mind if you came up to my office Alice, so I can run some tests?"
"Well sure, but only if Jazz can come too," I sniffled.
"Of course he can," He smiled, offering me his hand.
I took his hand as he slowly lowered me down so he and Jasper could put my arms on their shoulders to guide me up the stairs. As we entered the office Carlisle released me and rummaged through a draw in his desk before pulling out a stethoscope and bent down to place it lightly on my stomach. He crouched there for a few seconds, listening to whatever was inside of me.
"Well you definitely are pregnant Alice, but the thing is how? I know that you have never cheated on Jasper and probably never will but this is very difficult to understand. This blows all logical thoughts out of the water."
A single tear rolled down my cheek and Jasper lightly brushed it away with his thumb. Carlisle stood there for a while staring at me, thinking deeply.
"Alice? This is just a theory but I think I might have got something here to explain your pregnancy. Do you remember anything about your birth parents?"
"No unfortunately why do you ask?"
"Because I was thinking what if your mother was like us and had a baby with your human father? You could have been born as a human with a bit of vampire hidden inside of you, but when you got changed in the asylum the vampire part could of reacted to the change and your body could have been slowly turning back human but it never showed any changes until now."
"Hmm I never really thought about my past life before but I suppose that could be possible, all I ever knew was my mother sent me away to the asylum when I was nineteen and I have stayed this age ever since."
"That is very interesting, maybe we should go visit the asylum to learn more about you, would you be up for that Alice? I mean if you want to of course." Carlisle said, embarrassed at his mistake.
But before I could agree to this Rosalie came bursting in through the door, her eyes filled with rage as she stomped over to where we were standing. He glared at me and Jasper as he stood protectively in front of me, Rose must be pretty annoyed about something I thought as Emmett came bounding through the door and put his hands on her shoulders in an effort to drag Rose away, but her rage made her stay firmly in place.
"Why does SHE get to have a child and me and Esme don't?! What's so special about that little freak?!" Rosalie shrieked at Carlisle.
"Calm down Rosalie!" Carlisle said calmly in his authoritative voice as Jasper growled angrily, he really hated it when people called me a freak. "Shouting isn't going to make this situation any better!"
"Go on then tell us why is that freak so special?" Rosalie snarled as Jasper crouched to attack but I stopped him by entwining his hand with mine.
"My wife is not a freak! You watch your mouth!" Jasper snarled his golden eyes alive with fury.
"Easy son, she didn't mean what she said and I agree that she has a right to know what is happening here, all the family do. Rose, will you gather everybody into the dining room so we can explain the situation, please?"
"Fine but I don't see why I should though," she said angrily, flipping her hair back before stomping out of the room with a worried Emmett close on her heels.
We all gathered round the large, rarely used table to discuss it all. Carlisle opened the meeting by explaining what had happened and his theory about how I got pregnant. When he finished my family's faces were all covered with different emotions, Bella and Nessie were smiling with excitement, Edward and Carlisle had looks of concentration, Rosalie looked angry still, Esme was smiling sweetly but I could see a hint of yearning for a child of her own, Emmett was looking bored because Rose was refusing to talk to him.
"Are you going to keep it Alice? If you are that would be so cute to have another little one running around the house!" Bella laughed and hugged Nessie as she spoke.
I the saw the bond that Bella and Nessie had together, I never really noticed it before but I realised the bond between mother and daughter was special. I wanted to keep this child so I could be a better mother to him or her than mine had ever been to me. I was determined to see this through.
"Alice honey? Are you ok? It's not hurting you is it?" Esme asked worriedly.
"No no, everything is perfect Esme,"
"So… are you going to keep it Alice?" Bella inquired excitedly, her face lighting up, practically glowing.
"...Yes...I am Bella," I replied as Bella screamed with excitement.
I looked up at Jasper to find him gazing down at me, his face filled with happiness."
"You have made me the happiest man in the world Lis, thank you," He said, leaning down to kiss me gently on the lips.
