Chapter 6

-1,2,3,4-

I went to get it and left Jasper in the kitchen. I could see the faint outline of a person through the stained glass on the door.

I opened the door and was greeted by...

A girl with a fake smile and fiery red hair.

"Hi. Is Jasper here?"

Aww fuck.

I nodded. "Jazzy, come here for a minute."

"Okay baby. Give me a minute."

I noticed the change in her expression.

"So, what do you need Jasper for?"

"That's personal business."

I was about to tell her to fuck off when I felt hands slide around my waist.

"Victoria. What are you doing here?" His voice was cold. It was kind of scary, I never heard him so cruel before.

"Jasper, I made a mistake. Can we please find somewhere else to talk, privately? And what the fuck happened to your eye?"

Jasper let out a loud laugh."Anything you need to say, you can say in front of my girlfriend." Oh so that's what I am now? My inner monologue was Lol'ing. This whole situation was all shades of fucked.

"I can? Oh, okay. I want you back. I want you because I miss all the times we fucked in the back of your mustang. I miss fucking in the storage room at Sway, shit I miss everything about us. I just miss you Jasper."

She was on the verge of fake tears and I was laughing. She was trying to get to me by talking about all the times they fucked? I didn't give a shit about what he did before me, as long as he was with me now.

"Listen bitch, I'm here to stay, so keep away from him or-"

"Or what whore?"

I chuckled but I felt Jasper's hand tighten around my waist. "Or I'll fucking pull your uterus out and feed it to you through a straw. Got it bitch?"

I slammed the door in her face. She wasn't going to listen to my warning. She'd be back, I knew it, and I'd be waiting.

I pulled myself out of Jazz's arms and walked back to the kitchen to check on the food.

"Bells, are you mad?"

I turned and looked him in the face.

"Not at all. But I do think we need to talk, and I won't be fucking you in the backseat of the 'stang until we get some industrial strength cleaner."

He scratched his head and smiled. "Why don't we finish cooking and eat out on the dock?"

"I'd like that."

We worked silently to take all of the food outside and then finally sat down next to each other. I let my feet dangle over the edge of the dock into the water. Summer would be over soon and it would start getting cold and rainy.

Jazz dug into his food, he could look gorgeous doing anything. "So Bells, what do we need to talk about?"

I sighed and pushed my plate out of the way.

"I just feel like we barely know anything about each other, and that bitch just proved my point."

He ran his fingers through his beautiful blond hair. "You're right about the bitch part .That was Victoria, we dated until about two weeks before you got here. She cheated on me and I dumped her. She's not the first girl to cheat on me, but I'm hoping she'll be the last."

"Jazzy I would never cheat on you."

"I know Bells, I couldn't think of you ever doing something like that."

"Well, is there anything you want to know about me? I'm an open book right now."

"I want to know everything. What's your favorite color? Place to go? Food?"

"Blue, I don't have a favorite place to go. Every place on this earth is extremely interesting. As for food, anything new is always nice. What about you?"

"My favorite color would have to be brown, like your hair and eyes. My favorite place is back home in Texas with my family. I'm pretty much like Emmett with food, I eat anything."

"If your favorite place is back in Texas, why are you here?"

"Edward needed my help to start his business, so I came with him. After it took off, I got my own job, at Sway. I love working there, I meet so many different people and I wouldn't know what I'd do without it. It kept me company after Edward met Alice."

I didn't say anything, but I did lay my head in his lap. I loved this man. He was the perfect mix. He was sweet and smart and had the most incredible soft side, and he could be the strong, protective rough side. It was like someone mixed the best of both worlds.

We continued to talk. I learned so much about him. He told me about his mom and dad and the little sister he had. I found out he wanted to start his own club someday.

We went back inside when it started to get really windy. I checked the clock and found out it was noon.

"Jazzy, do you have to work today?"

"Yeah. I go in at three." I sighed. I didn't want to give him up.

My thoughts were interrupted by my cell phone ringing.

"Hello?"

"Bella? It's Rose. I need your help."

"OK. I thought you were with Emmett going to visit Esme and Carlisle?"

"I have a doctors appointment so Emmett, Alice, and Edward went without me. I need some serious moral support Bells. Can you help?"

"Of course Rose. Can you come pick me up?"

"Yeah. I'll be there in a few minutes. Thank you so much Bella."

"No problem Rose. I'll see you in a few."

I hung up the phone and told Jasper what I was going to be doing.

I ran up to my closet and threw on an outfit pretty quickly. The doorbell rang and I grabbed my cell phone and flew down the stairs.

Jasper had just let Rose in. She looked really worried. "What the fuck happened to your eye?" Rose then turned to me. "What the fuck happened to your lip?"

"Lovers quarrel. Hot as fuck, you should give it a try with Emmett." She muttered something but then turned to Jasper.

"Thanks for letting me borrow Bells. We should really be going now." She was seriously in a rush today.

I kissed Jasper goodbye and squealed when he slapped my ass while walking out of the door.

Rose led me to a gorgeous red M3. I climbed in just as she did.

"Rose, what's wrong?"

The car roared to life and we sped out of the driveway.

"I'm umm. Shit. I'm pregnant."

"That's great! Isn't it?"

She didn't say anything until we got to the doctors office. She pulled into a parking space and turned off the car.

"Before I met Emmett, I had this really shitty boyfriend. Shit happened and I ended up in the hospital. The doctors said that what happened really fucked up my chances of having a baby and made the chance's of having a miscarriage sky-high. I haven't told Emmett because I don't think he can handle it if I lose it. He wants a kid so bad and I want to give him one, but I don't want to see him hurt if I can't."

Oh. We walked inside of the doctors office and sat in the waiting room. There were a few others in the office, Rose and I just sat there until a blond woman in purple scrubs called her back. I followed and sat down in the other chair in the doctors office. The nurse took some blood and left the room.

I liked doctors offices. They were so clean and quiet. Rose's leg was bouncing up and down like a freaking sewing machine. "Chill out. Everything will be fine, I promise."

I scooted my chair over to her and held her hand until the doctor walked in.

"Hello Miss Hale, how are you doing today?"

"I'm fine."

"Well, are you ready to see your baby?"

Rose's eyes lit up while she nodded.

"Alright then, let's get started. Sit up here."

Rose did everything he asked, she didn't even flinch when he put that cold goo on her stomach.

I could tell she was holding her breath while he ran that machine over her stomach.

All of a sudden, the room was filled with rapid beating. It was magical blah blah. Babies weren't my cup of tea.

"That, Miss Hale, is your babies heartbeat."

She sighed, but it was a happy sigh. I was happy for her.

After a little more deliberation, the nice doctor finally said "Your baby is extremely healthy for its developmental stage. The nurse will have some information for you and you'll need to schedule another appointment. I'll print you out a picture and you're free to go."

We finished up there and then met Alice at The Bella Pixie. Rose asked me not to tell anyone, including Alice. That was a bit of a shocker.

"Hey Alice, how was the visit?"

Ali-cat was super excited to see us. "Fine. Where have you guys been?"

Rose cut in."We had a yoga class. I decided to take Bella and get some bonding in."

"Oh, well let's go shopping!"

"Actually Alice, Emmett will probably be waiting for me. I'll call you girls tomorrow."

Alice was pouting but let her go. "You're still coming with me aren't you?"

"Of course. Bye Rose."

"Bye Bells. Thanks for coming with me today."

"No problem. You better get home to Emmett before he starts to worry."

She rolled her eyes and walked out of the store.

Alice sighed and plopped down on the armchair in the office of The Bella Pixie. "I feel left out."

"Left out of what?"

"Everything. Ever since I got pregnant, I haven't been able to do half of the things I used to. It's boring."

"Well, how about one day next week, we leave Lily in charge and me, you, and Rose can go on a shopping trip."

"Oh god Bells! A girls day out would be perfect. Are you sure you can stand to be away from Jasper that long?"

"Ahh, that hurt my pride Ali." We both laughed.

"Speaking of being away from Jasper, I need you to work the rest of this week and some of next week. There is this guy coming from New York and he wants to help us expand on the east coast and I want everything to be perfect. Is that okay?"

"Yep. It's getting kind of boring just sitting around. I want to help around in the store more. Now, lets go!"

The first store we found ourselves in was a very fancy lingerie store. I thought it would be nice to get something to wear to sleep in so I could stop stealing Jazz's t-shirts.

"So, how are things going with Jasper?"

"Great I suppose. I met Victoria this morning."

Alice dropped the shit she was holding.

"No FUCKING way!"

"Calm down Alice. I told her to stay away."

"You don't get it, I told that bitch never to come to my house or to come around Jasper again. I sealed the deal with a punch and now you tell me that bitch is back?"

"Whoa. What did she do to make you so mad?"

"Mad doesn't even begin to cover it. She cheated on Jasper with his best friend and three of his co-workers. Jasper didn't do anything to deserve that, and he being the gentleman he is, doesn't fight women, so I had to handle that bitch."

I thought of Alice and Victoria in a fight. I know from experience that Alice hits hard as fuck, a pillow fight gone wrong showed me this, and a pregnant Alice must have torn that bitch up.

I felt my phone vibrate and opened it up to see Jazzy texted me. He said he had a surprise for me and would let me have it when he got home.

I sat there wondering what he could have for me until Alice finally broke through my thought process.

"Bella! Whats going on?"

"Nothing, sorry. Let's get out of here."

"Hey Bella, what happened to your lip?" I started giggling and walked away from her.

I paid for the few things I bought and Alice and I headed back home. Edward was waiting for her and I wandered up to my bedroom. I hadn't really gotten the chance to spend much time in here.

I threw the bags into my closet and laid down on my bed. I didn't really feel sleepy but found myself drifting in and out of a sleeping state. I had a dream about Charlie, it wasn't the normal one though. It was more like a flashback.

Charlie and I were sitting on the couch in the living room. A baseball game was on and we were pretty into it. Our team was down by a couple points and Charlie was grumbling about the new coach.

During the commercial he just turned to me out of nowhere and said "You're going to find a guy one day Bells, make sure he treats you like a princess."

I rolled my eyes and shoved some popcorn in my mouth. "Whatever dad. The games back on."

The dream made me feel bad. I'd pretty much ignored Charlie on one of the rare occasions he tried to tell me something important. I sat there for a while until I felt the bed move.

I opened one eye to find Jasper next to me. "Hi Jazzy."

"Hello Bella. Miss me?"

I climbed on top of him and straddled his lap. "Of course. How could I not?"

"Are you ready for your surprise?"

"Do I have a choice?"

He shook his head. "Nope."

"Then yes, I am."

We climbed off the bed and he grabbed my hand and led me into his room. He walked into his closet and opened a drawer.

I couldn't see what he pulled out, but he returned to me anyways.

He slid whatever it was into my hand. "I had to go out today and I saw that in a store and thought that you would love it."

I opened my hand and saw a cute little silver band.

"It's a promise ring. I know that before last night you felt like I was pressuring you into being with me. But I want you to know that I'm never going to lie to you and I'm going to protect you from everything that scares you Bella, even if it's me. I'll hold off on the L word until you're ready to say it freely, but I still feel that way for you."

"Jazzy, you could never scare me. Thank you, so much." He gave me one of his sweet, gorgeous kisses.

I slipped the ring on and showed it to him. "Beautiful." He pulled my finger up to his mouth and kissed it, continuing to do that with all of the others.

"Thank you Bella."

"For what?"

"Being everything I need. Everything I could ask for."

I blushed. "I guess I should thank you then, because you're everything I need too and could ever ask for too."

"Well then, we're just perfect for each other."

"I couldn't have said it better myself."

I pulled him onto the bed, I was planning on showing off some of my new lingerie.

"I hope you aren't too tired Jazzy, because it's going to be a long night."

His lips attacked mine and flipped us over so that he was on top of me.

"Bring it on princess."
