"Hey Alice, how is everything going?" jasper said in his angelic voice. I said nothing, and then Emmett grabbed the phone."Hey jazz, al is fine" he said calmly.
mine and jaspers son, jj, rushed up to me and into my arms, the rest of the kids, challis, nessie, bellas kids, then ashli, mine, ran to bella. bella sat in shock at emmett, he nodded.
"we'll b waiting for u" he hung up, then tugged at my sleeve. "they r on their way bac" he said soothingly, caressing my arm. i hopped up to sit on the couch with bella, still holding jj.
emmett rushed to the door, jasper and edward walked through."hello love" edward said, wrapping his arms around bella, the only human in the whole family. he gently mussed her hair, and jasper kissed my forehead. "its so nice to c u" he said, then i reached up on my toes to kiss him, a frown on emmetts face. i saw this and pulled away, smiling.
.
"so wut hav u been up to?" jasper said, wrapping his arm around my waist. i froze, emmetts and bellas eyes about to bulge out of their heads. i smiled. "my business, my business" Emmett sighed with relief, bella calmed down, and edward ran her up the stairs, as usual. emmett laughed, his silly mind reading power usually got on my nerves.
"well.. I still hav to go do something, I'll be back in a few weeks" jasper said sadly. I frowned as he walked out the door. Emmett came up to me, rubbing my shoulders, his breath tickled my ear.
"y r u so sad?" he said. I turned to see his face, he was confused.
"I haven't gotten to see him in 3 weeks, and he left again"
"well.. don't b sad.. it makes me sad" he replied. I shrugged out of his hands, ready to protest.
"emmett.. im sorry but I cant do this to jasper… we've been together for so long.. this wouldn't be giving him his fair share! This wont work out Emmett" a tear rolled down his face, and I felt bad, but also good for staying true to jasper.
He frowned, many tears rolling down his pale face, his voice breaking. "well.. im sorry I bugged you" he stormed out the door, without a word. I stood frozen in place, not knowing what to do. I felt another tear roll down and splash on the ground. I flenched as Emmett slammed the door.
I figured it out. I crashed through the door and ran into the trees, ignoring the rain falling from the darkened sky. I squinted my eyes, thinking really hard. I opened them and ran farther, then saw Emmett at the water, his face in his hands. I ran to him, rubbing his shoulder with my hand.
"Emmett im sorry.." I explained. He wasn't taking this, and there was only one thing I could do. I grabbed his face between my hands, turned his head, and shoved my lips to his. He remained still. I tried to force I response out of him, but that was hard. I pulled away, looking into his sad eyes.
"Emmett.. please I beg u.. come back. Don't do this to urself. I cant stand it." I said. He looked up at me, then spoke slowly and softly.
"alice.. u don't kno how long ive waited. How much I love you. But u love jasper, and that's something I must cope with, whether I like it or not." I sighed, thinking harder.
"nobody said this couldn't be a secret" I smiled, and he looked back at me, then I saw his beautiful grin spread across his face, the rain dripping from his ears and hair. He wrapped me in his arms and pulled me in his lap, we both were silent, staring at the stars.
I turned in his arms, and crushed my lips against his once more. He responded. He moved my hair from my face, falling on the ground. I noticed he was colder than usual, then I noticed he didn't hav a shirt. Of course I thought, knowing he couldn't hear my thoughts. I rolled my eyes and laughed, forgetting that when he got wet he took off his shirt. He looked at me, smiling.
"you like?" he said, looking at himself. I laughed. "Very"

I awoke the next morning in emmetts bed, and Emmett wasn't there. Hes probably in the kitchen, he usually cooked for bella. I had to sleep because of my power, and sometimes I wish I didn't hav to. I pulled the sheets away, pulling on a pair of emmetts ginormous pants. Knowing I would need a belt, I grabbed one from under his bed. I scanned through his dresser drawers and found his favorite Run DMC tshirt, then flew down the stairs.
I paused in the middle of the stairs, clasping my stomach, and screamed. Edward was the first one to get to me. "alice? Alice?! Wuts wrong?!" he said worriedly. I responded with another scream. I felt his long, cold fingers against my stomach, and he lifted my shirt, his eyes widened at the small bulge in my stomach he found.
