Hiya! :)
Here's chaper 26, enjoy!
RECAP:
"My brother Jasper's wife. She's pregnant and it's not an easy pregnancy. I think she could use someone to talk to, she's on bed rest. I need to talk to Jasper anyway, so I figure, you can meet another family member and I can talk to Jasper. That way I don't have to let go of you yet."
"Okay!" I was excited. Every time I met someone in Edward's family, it made me fall for him a little bit more. I wouldn't say I was in love with him, but I was close.
We locked up, went in his car, and drove off. We were at his brother's house in less than five minutes. I learned that his brothers and parents live only a couple blocks away. We got out of the car and walked up to the door and knocked. The door opened and Jasper stood in front of it.
Jasper stood in the doorway in sweats and a tank.
¨Hey guys. What´s up?" Jasper spoke in a raspy voice.
"You just get up bro?" Edward said while giving him a hug, well it was more like a hand shake and bump of their chest.
"Yeah, Alice and I were taking a nap." He smiled, and then turned to me. "Hey Bella." His smile made the knot in my stomach subside. Jasper had the effect to make you feel calm.
"Hi Jasper." I smiled back at him.
"Come in." He held the door open and stepped aside.
"Where's Alice?" Edward asked, with concern in his eyes. Edward may be a scary, mean, murderous man to others, but to me and his family he had a heart.
"She's in the bed. She's up, if you want to go say hello." He started walking down the hallway, to what I was guessing lead to their bedroom. Edward and I followed him. "Hey hunny, someone's here to see you."
"Hey Alice. How you feeling?" Edward lent down to give Alice a hug. She was adorable! She was short, and pixie like. They weren't kidding when we were at La Famiglia and Emmett called her a pixie on cocaine. I wonder if she was truly crazy.
"I'm feeling really good actually. I'm sure Jasper told you what's going on. I went to the doctor today, and she said things are looking better, so we're hopeful." I could see her smiling.
"Well that's great news. My niece or nephew is a fighter, just like her mother." It was so sweet seeing Edward interact with his sister in law.
"Yes he or she is." She smiled, and then looked at me. "And who is standing in my bedroom doorway Edward?" She looked from him to me curiously.
"Well Alice.-" Edward got up and walked towards me. "-I would like to introduce you my girlfriend, Bella." He wrapped one arm around me and kissed my temple.
"Hi. It's very nice to meet you." I waved towards her. I waved… what is wrong with me.
I heard laughter come out of her mouth. "If I wasn't bedbound, I would jump up and hug you. Edward finally found someone! I am so happy for you Eddie!"
"Oh God. Don't call me that."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever. Now go and talk to your brother, and give me some alone time with your girlfriend. I am so excited!" I could see her jumping up and down in her bed. I could tell we were going to get along just fine.
"Alright. I have to talk to your lovely husband over here anyway." He looked to me. "I'll be back in a little." He kissed my lips and walked out the room with Jasper.
"Come sit. I won't bite." She patted the bed. I walked over and took a seat.
"So, how far along are you?" She smiled and looked down at her baby bump.
"16 weeks. We've been keeping it quiet until we know…" She stopped and I saw tears form in her eyes.
"Hey-" I grabbed her hand, and held it in mine. "-if there is one thing I know about Cullens, is that they are strong, you both will be fine." She looked up at me, and jumped at me and hugged me.
"Thank you. I needed someone. Jasper is great, but you know…"
"I know." Sometimes you just need a friend.
"You know, I can already tell we're going to be great friends." I smiled when she said that.
"Me too." We talked for another hour, about her and Jasper, and the baby until Edward and Jasper came back. We said our goodbyes, I gave Alice my number so she could call me if she needed to talk, and we left.
"You're just winning over everyone in my family." Edward looked to me and smiled, entwining our fingers as he drove.
"Your family is easy to be around. I just wish mine was the same to you." I looked down.
"Hey. They're just looking out for you. I understand. "I couldn't help but to smile at him.
"Aw. My Teddy understands." He rolled his eyes.
"Are you staying at my house tonight?"
"I think you better take me home, since tomorrow you are coming over."
"Alright." He sighed.
He drove me home and we said our goodbyes. I walked in my house and my dad was passed out on the couch with the TV blaring. I shut the TV and pulled the blanket over him. I walked up to my room and prepared myself for bed, before finally going to sleep. I would need my rest, tomorrow was going to be interesting.
So what did you guys think?
