"What happened?" I asked as I looked between Rosalie and her brother. She looked up quickly startled by my presence.

"His temperature spiked or something. He isn't breathing as strongly as he's supposed to." She explained softly, tears running down her cheeks. She didn't bother wiping them away as she looked back at Jasper. I looked at him for a moment before feeling a hand on my shoulder; I turned seeing my mother and Emmett. Emmett walked past me and took the open seat next to Rosalie, giving her hand an affectionate squeeze as he took it into his hand.

"Have you started him on antibiotics?" I heard my father ask, he was standing with Dr. Strickland who looked frustrated.

"There shouldn't be a need for them; the chlorine from the pool should have eliminated the bacteria from the water that entered his lungs" Dr. Strickland explained as he looked over the chart in his hands. My dad nodded his brow furrowed in thought.

"No…the pool hasn't been treated in about two weeks, we were getting ready to close it up for the season" My mom interjected into their conversation.

"Really?" My dad asked, the pool being something he never really paid any attention to when he was home.

"Yes dear, the last time I had Emmett add any chlorine was Labor Day" She gently moved her hand from my shoulder and walked over to Dad.

"Get him a chest X-ray" Realization seemed to set in with both my father and Dr. Strickland.

"What's wrong with him?" I followed my mother and walked towards them.

"I'm not sure yet sweetheart but we will find out okay?" He looked down at me; his blue eyes captured my eyes. I felt my worries dissipate and I knew he would do everything he could to make sure Jasper was alright. "Why don't you and Emmett take Rosalie to the employee cafeteria and get her some breakfast while we get some tests done? Your mother or I will come get you once things settle down a little" He dug into his wallet and pulled out one of his many hospital ID badges, this one was particularly for the cafeteria, I had used it many times over the summer while having to volunteer as a candy striper.

"Okay" I nodded and took the card from him. I walked back to Jasper's room while my dad continued to speak with Dr. Strickland. It took a little bit of convincing but I was soon walking with Emmett and Rosalie to the cafeteria. We all picked at some moderately appetizing pancakes and bacon while we waited for some sort of news on what was going on with Jasper.

Well over two hours had passed since we were forced upstairs; Rosalie had fallen asleep at the table while she was using Emmett as a pillow. I was attempting to stay awake but my own exhaustion seemed to be taking hold. I finally gave in and relaxed at the table resting my head on my arms.

"Alice, sweetheart" I was jerked awake by my mother's gentle shaking. I looked around the cafeteria trying to gather my bearings.

"What's wrong?" I looked back up at her; Rosalie and Emmett were both asleep now.

"Jasper's up, he was wondering where everyone was" a smile grew on her face.

"He's awake? How is he doing?"

"Better, your father can give you a better prognosis downstairs" I nodded and stood up from my chair. I looked to Rosalie and Emmett trying to figure out the easiest way to wake them. "Go ahead downstairs, I'll wake them, I need to speak to Rosalie anyway about calling their father." My mother had the uncanny ability to read me like a book which sometimes had its advantages.

"Okay" I nodded; she kissed my forehead swiftly before I took off for the elevator. I was soon back downstairs in the Emergency Room. I walked to Jasper's room quickly, an enormous smile crossed my face as I saw him sitting up in bed and his oxygen mask had been removed and replaced with a small tube under his nose.

"Hey you" his hoarse voice rang out as he smiled at me.

"Hey you too" I felt a slight blush on my cheeks but ignored it as I walked to his side. "How are you feeling?"

"A lot better"

"Did anyone tell you what was going on?"

"Yeah, turns out its pneumonia from some sort of bacteria in the pool water but your dad says the antibiotics they're loading me up on should take care of everything" he looked so casual as he explained it. Pneumonia? I couldn't help but gasp. Jasper grabbed my hand quickly and brought it up to his cheek "See, my temperature is almost back to normal already" I nodded as I felt his slightly warm cheek.

"Are you sure you're okay?" It wasn't that I didn't trust my father's doctoring but this seemed too good to be true.

"I'm sure" he smiled at me. "Sit, take a load off" he motioned towards the chair behind me. "Or you could sit right here" his voice was a little timid this time as he patted the edge of the large hospital bed. His ears reddened adorably as he blushed.

"Right here sounds perfect" he scooted over having plenty of room in the bed, I slipped beside him effortlessly.

"So your mom is a riot" his grin surprised me.

"They must have you on a lot of pain killers" I chuckled softly.

"Well that too but really she's funny. She was telling me about this one time involving you, Emmett and some sort of version of capture the flag involving peanut butter that banned you from going to day camp" my jaw dropped instantly.

"She told you about that?"

"Oh, don't worry it's cute, it's good to know I'm not the only delinquent" he laughed softly and kissed my cheek.

"She sent us upstairs to have breakfast for nearly three and a half hours while she sat down here and told you embarrassing stories about me?" I shook my head to myself.

"It's not embarrassing, it's cute and the stories weren't just about you" A large grin formed on Jasper's perfect cheeks as he thought about whatever terrifying things my mother had told him.

"What else did she tell you?" I narrowed my eyes trying to look serious but I was struggling to hide my smile.

"That's for me to know and you to find out" he silenced my questions as he kissed me gently.
