The Baseball Game…

Bella POV

Because I told Jasper I would sit with his family I was looking in the bleachers to see if I could find Alice. I sometimes talked to Alice in school, but it was always about stuff that was going in class and I wouldn't call her a friend. I had to admit that I am nervous to meet the rest of the family. While I was lost in my own thoughts I saw Alice standing and waving in my direction. I waved back and made my way over to where she and Carlisle were sitting with a pretty woman sitting on the bleachers.

"Hey Alice," I said once I got over to her.

"Hi Bella," she said grabbing my arm and pulling me down next to her. "Let me introduce you to my mom, Esme," she said pointing to the pretty woman sitting behind her.

"Hello Mrs. Cullen," I said and shook her hand.

"Please dear call me Esme. How are you feeling today?" she asked, showing genuine concern.

"I am feeling fine; I don't even have a headache. Thank you for allowing Jasper to stay with me last night, it made easier to wake up every three hours," I replied softly.

"Are you sure you don't have a headache Bella, no dizziness?" Carlisle asked.

"Carlisle, dear, stop being Dr. Cullen and just be Carlisle today. She said that she was fine and I am sure that she is, otherwise she would have told us," Esme interrupted sweetly.

"I am sorry Bella. I will try not to be the 'Doctor' today, but just to be Jasper's father," he said, looking back at me with a small smile.

"It is all good Carlisle. So where is Edward? Jasper said that everyone was coming today to watch him play," I asked, looking around.

"He was not feeling up to coming today, so he decided to stay home," Alice said. "So Bella, I have to say that the way you met my brother is quite out of the ordinary."

I chuckled, "It is, huh? How many girls can say that getting hit in the head landed them a date with the school's star Pitcher?"

"Not too many, I would think," she replied, laughing.

Looking out to the field I saw that the game was getting ready to start with the Spartans in the field. When I didn't see Jasper on the field, I leaned over and asked Alice, "Where is Jasper?"

She pointed to the side of the field, where I saw him and Emmett McCarthy heading towards the field. "They were just finishing warming up," she said.

Jasper looked up into the bleachers and gave us a small wave. I smiled and waved back at him. He took the mound and the game began. He threw the first pitch and it was a strike. He and Emmet just It seemed to be playing catch and it continued that way for the first couple of innings. At the bottom of the third inning we were leading 5-1.

Alice and I decided to run over the Snack Shack and grab some drinks for everyone. "So Bella, what are you planning on wearing tonight?" Alice asked me.

"I am not really sure; I have no idea where Jasper is taking me. Can we get five waters please?" I asked the lady behind the counter.

"Here you go, it will be $7.50," Alice handed her the money and we grabbed the waters and headed back to the bleachers.

"I could come over and help you pick out something to wear…if you wanted me to?" Alice asked. I could hear in her voice that she was nervous.

"I would love that, Alice. Did you want to come over after the game?" I asked her, bumping her shoulder and smiling.

She smiled at me, "I think that sounds great. So, why did you get five waters; there are only four of us?" she asked.

"Well, I thought that Jasper might want a bottle of cold water so I was going to bring over to the dugout while we are batting," I said smiling.

"I am sure that he would love some water, Bella," she replied with a smirk.

When we got back to the bleachers the runner on third decided to try and steal home plate. He was running at full force towards the plate and Jasper ducked out of the way as the ball was thrown from Center Field toward Home Plate. As Emmett stepped up to catch the ball, the runner ran right into him and they both fell, the runner flipped over Emmett and landed on his back. Everyone in the stands stood on their feet waiting to see if the runner and Emmett stood up and to hear what the Umpire call was.

The Umpire yelled, "SAFE" and then Emmett rolled on to his knees and stood up. We all clapped for him while waiting for the runner to stand up. After two minutes of waiting Carlisle started to walk to the field as the field medic came out. The runner held up his hand, before rolling onto his knees and pushing himself to his feet. Emmett offered him a hand to help him stand up and the bleachers erupted in cheers. Opposing team or not, we were all still happy that he wasn't hurt. The medic and Carlisle still went over to the other team's dugout to check on the runner.

"Well, I guess Dr. Cullen, can never really stay at home," Esme said with a smile.

"Guess not," I said, sitting back down next to her.

The game started back up and Jasper threw three perfect strikes to the next batter and the inning ended. As the team was headed back to the dugout Jasper looked up at me and waved a little at me.

"I am going to head down and give him his water," I said standing up.

"Bella, hunny, don't you know that they have water in the dugouts?" Esme asked gently.

"Oh, I didn't know that. I guess he won't want this one than," I said and sat back down.

Alice pushed me back up. "Go give him the water, I am sure that he will appreciate it," she finished with a little nudge in the dugout's direction.

I shook my head at her and headed down to the dugout. Once I made it down to the dugout I looked back up at Alice and Esme and they smiled and shot me thumbs up. I laughed to myself and peeked my head around the wall.

"Hello!" came the booming voice of Emmett, "Which stud muffin would you like to see?" he asked, laughing.

"How do you know I am not here to see you, Stud?" I replied laughing.

"Ohh, I am a stud am I?"

"I could call you muffin if you prefer?" I replied softly.

"No, no I am good with Stud," he said full out laughing.

"Em are you trying to steal my girl?" Jasper said as he came up behind Emmett.

"It's not stealing if she came willingly, bro," he laughed, clapping Jasper on the shoulder.

Jasper smiled and playfully shoved Emmett out of the way. "Well, you can't have her," he said laughing.

Emmett stuck his tongue out at us and then turned and walked to the other side of the dugout.

"So Bella, to what do I owe this pleasure?" Jasper asked, leaning toward me.

"I just wanted to give you a bottle of water; I didn't know if you would have one. I didn't know that you had water here in the dugout until after I'd bought it. Alice didn't tell me when we ordered them," I rambled.

"Bella, darlin', stop. I would love a bottle of water," he said, gently holding out his hand for the water and taking a long drink from it after I gave it to him.

"So, you are pitching a good game," I said, looking up at him through my eyelashes.

"Thank you, darlin'. I have to get back before the coach yells at me, but I will see you after the game, right?" he drawled out.

"Yup, you will. Have a good rest of the game," I said and then, on an impulse, stood up on my tip toes and kissed his cheek. As I turned to head back to the bleachers I heard the team giving Jasper a hard time. I was laughing by the time I sat back down next to Alice.

"Everything go okay, Bella?" Alice asked with a smirk.

"Yes it did, thank you," I replied. Carlisle was back so I turned to him, "How is the runner?"

"He will be fine; he just had the wind knocked out of him. He might have some bruising, but nothing to worry about."

"I know that feeling," I said with a shake of my head.

Jasper was up to bat. He hit the ball to Center Field, but the Center Fielder dropped the ball and Jasper made it to Second Base. We all cheered for him. The next batter struck out and then Emmett was up. He had two strikes and then on the third pitch he swung and knocked the ball out of the park, bringing Jasper and himself home. The next batter hit a pop up to Left Field and the Left Fielder caught the ball and that ended the inning. It was now the top of the fifth inning and the score was 10-6 with the Spartans leading.

By the bottom of the seventh inning we were tied 11-11. Jasper had just struck out and so had Ben, but there was a runner on Third Base and Emmett was up to bat. Alice and I were on our feet as Emmett stepped up to the plate. The first pitch was a high ball and the second was a perfect strike.

"LET'S GO EMMETT!" Alice and I both yelled. On the next ball he swung and missed.

The Spartans were all standing at the mouth of the dugout as the Pitcher wound up. He threw the ball; Emmett swung and sent the ball sailing into Right Field. The ball dropped to the ground and the runner on third made it in and Emmett made it to Third Base before the ball made it into the Infield. He made a run for it and slid into Home Plate as the ball sailed into the Catcher's mitt. We all waited for the Umpire's call.

"SAFE!" he yelled. The Forks bleachers erupted in cheers.

We packed up what little we had on the bleachers and headed down to see the team. Jasper and Emmett were celebrating with their teammates when we got down to them. Carlisle and Esme waved goodbye to the boys and headed to their car. Alice and I stood off to the side of the dugout waiting for them to finish celebrating. Jasper came over and kissed me quickly. "I will be back soon, the coach just wants to talk with us," he said quickly.

"I will be here," I said as he hugged Alice and then turned and ran back to the team.

"So instead of heading back to my house with Jasper, I was thinking that I could just go to your house with you and help you get ready?" Alice asked.

"Yea, that would work, but how would you get home?" I asked.

"I could just call Edward to come and get me."

"Ok, if you are sure," I said watching as Jasper came over to us with Emmett behind him. "Awesome hit, Stud," I said to Emmett.

"Thanks, Muffin," he said, sitting down next to Alice.

Jasper stood in front of me and offered me his hands. I took them and he pulled me up, "What about me darlin'?"

"Great pitching today, Jasper," I said smiling up at him. "So, are you going to tell me where you are taking me so I know what to wear and when to be ready?"

"I was thinking that, since it is still a nice day out, we could go Mini Golfing and then get dinner," he said slipping his arm around my shoulders.

"I think that sounds like fun, but you do remember that I am a klutz, right? This could be dangerous," I said with a smile.

"I remember. I think that we should be good, though. So, I will pick you up in an hour?" he asked.

"Sounds good to me," I smiled up at him. Before we could say anything else Alice was pulling me towards the parking lot.

"Come on we don't have much time before he will be at your house," she said.

I looked back at Jasper and he was laughing as he watched his sister drag me away.
