A/N: Here's a second part of Chapter 12. sorry about the multiple installations. I think that they all should belong in a chapter together, but I don't have enough time to sit down and write it all at once, no matter how much I may want to.
Disclaimer: I own nothing except the story line. Foshaz.
Chapter 12: Revelation (Part II)
Jasper
"Pregnant?" I asked her, shocked. Alice was telling the truth, there was no doubt about that. I just couldn't believe what was happening. Everyone in our family knew about Edward and Bella's decision to stay chaste until after the wedding, and even if they had consummated their relationship, it was known that our kind was incapable of reproducing. That left only one option.
"Was it..." I drifted off, unable to speak further. Alice nodded, her emotions swelling into a great crescendo. I was incapable of speech. Not only had Bella, my sister, been assaulted last night, but impregnated? It was almost too much to bear.
"What did you see?"
Alice stood, shaking her head, her emotions getting the best of her.
"I don't know Jazz... It was mostly flashes! I saw Bella, sick in the bathroom, laying in bed, being unable to eat." She started pacing in front of me, her light footsteps barely making a print on the lush grass. "At first I thought it was just a cold, or maybe a bit of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder from her ordeal last night. Then, I saw her talking to Carlisle, holding her belly, and I just knew." She stopped pacing to look at me.
"You should have seen the way Edward looked at her, Jasper. It just about broke my heart."
Even with all my experiences dealing with human, and vampire, emotions, I couldn't even begin to comprehend what Edward must have been feeling. I thought about how I would have felt, had Alice been in Bella's place and I in Edward's. How would it feel to have another man, a monster, sire a child with the love of your life, when you were unable? I knew that one of the reasons Edward had been so reluctant to be with Bella was because of his inability to provide a normal, human life for her, filled with human experiences, and children. Now he had to watch as she carried another man's child in her, the child of a disgusting excuse of a man. Unless she decided not to have the baby?
"Is she going to keep it?"
"Jazz," Alice started, "I won't know for sure until she knows herself. Right now, she doesn't even know she's pregnant. At least, not consciously." She sat back down on the stump, bringing her knees up to her chest. She looked as small as a child.
"The only thing I do know is that Edward isn't going to okay. He won't be expecting this." I nodded my head in agreement.
"Should we tell them?" Who knew what kind of an impact this kind of news would have on the family, especially so soon after Bella's attack.
"Not yet. Bella's so fragile as it is, Jasper. Edward can't know yet either. She's depending on him for strength, and if he loses it... I don't want to know what will happen next." She took my hand, holding it to her pale cheek for comfort. "Let them have happiness for their wedding and honeymoon. They'll have troubles soon enough."
I nodded my assent, looking up towards the sky that was slowly filling with stars.
A/N: okay, so some of you may agree with me on this, and some of you may disagree. If you were wondering how Alice could know so early on about Bella's pregnancy, this is my reasoning. I believe that life begins at conception, end of story. So there you go. Bella got pregnant, Alice knows because it has already happened, she's seeing stuff in the future having to do with Bella's eggo bein preggo. If you don't hold the same view, cool beans. I, however, own this story line, so what I say goes. So deal with it. :)
More to come later. Leave me some lovin'.
