Chapter 12: Revelation

Esme Cullen

I could tell something was going on behind the mask of my daughter's quiet façade, and my thoughts were confirmed when I saw the look on Jasper's face when we pulled up. He was standing in front of the oak front door, simply waiting for us to arrive, but the look on his face was more than that of stoic calmness. He looked worried for the first time I had ever seen him. He lightly walked down the steps toward us, waiting for Alice to shut off the car and get out. They didn't share their customary greeting: a shared look into each other's eyes, a baring of souls, but instead she took his hand and led him into the swaying fringe of the woods surrounding our house. Sighing, I turned around to lead Renee into the house, trying hard not to look for my children's shadows in the dark trees around us.

Rosalie Cullen

I watched silently as Bella and Renee were reunited, feeling a slight twinge of emotion as mother and daughter embraced. I barely remembered my real mother; she was only a foggy memory, buried along with my other recollections of the past. I looked at Esme and Carlisle standing near the door to the kitchen, and watched as the only parents I had embraced. I shifted my gaze to the paused TV, not wanting to interrupt. Their love was epic, and never ceased to awe me. They were so different from Emmett and me, and entirely dependent on each other. I looked around for their younger counterparts, but I couldn't find Jasper or Alice anywhere.

"Emmett," I whispered, softly enough so that only he could hear me, "Where do you think Alice and Jasper are?"

He shrugged, still watching the frozen screen.

"You know how they are. If they're separated for more than five minutes, they throw quite a reunion party..." He winked at me, making me roll my eyes. He chuckled and pecked my cheek, making me laugh in turn.

Alice Cullen

I took Jasper's hand and led him off into the woods surrounding our house. I had to tell somebody what I had seen, and Jasper was the only one I knew that could share my burden of knowledge.

"Alice, what is it?"

I shook my head and pulled him along faster, speeding up into a light run. The wind breezed through my short hair, and I reveled in the force of the air hitting my face.

I waited until we were out of earshot to come to a stop, Jasper following my lead instantly.

"Something has happened, Jazz. Its not like it should be."

"What are you talking about?" His eyes were alarmed, sensing my fear, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine Jasper. Its not me I'm worried about." I looked down at the ground. HI wished I could cry, if only to release the emotion I felt at this moment.

"Its Bella, Jazz."

He tilted my chin up, and I could see the relief flooding through him.

"Bella will be alright, my love, you saw that. All she needs is time."

"Time can't fix this, Jasper." I pulled out of his grasp, turning to sit on a large tree stump behind me. Jasper stood stalk-still.

"My vision changed. Things are different now, Jazz. I just can't believe... after all that has happened to her already..."

Jasper walked over to me, kneeling down to look into my eyes. We gazed at each other, our eyes level, neither of us breaking the silence.

Should I tell him what I had seen? To think about it was one thing, but to actually verbalize it, to speak it aloud, it made everything real. I took a deep breath and decided on truth.

"Jasper?"

"Yes, darlin?"

"She's pregnant."
