Break your little heart
Chapter 12- are you with me? Till the end!
Stay Awake (Dreams Only Last For A Night) - All Time Low
Call it a cold sweat
start splitting hairs
i'm drinking too much i'm on my way to striking out
go to sleep with the pressure of everyone
watching and waiting are yours for the taking
but i still have my doubts
i said before you ask which way to go
remember where you've been
stay awake
get a grip and get out, your safe
from the weight of the world just take
a second to set things straight
i'll be fine
even though i'm not always right
i can count on the sun to shine
the dedication takes a lifetime
but dreams only last for a night
figure it out
boy you're tripping so pull yourself together
or you'll wash up like the rest
cause this ship is sinking
i'm thinking "i'm done for"
i'm watching the sails disappear underwater
cause i'm no captain yet
i said before you ask which way to go
remember where you've been
stay awake
get a grip and get out your state
from the weight of the world just take
a second to set things straight
i'll be fine
even though i'm not always right
i can count on the sun to shine
the dedication takes a lifetime
but dreams only last for a night
believe you me
if give them anything
id tell them anything
just show them everything
believe you me
id tell them everything
id tell them anything
cause you ain't the only one's who wanna live it up!
you ain't the only one's!
stay awake
get a grip and get out your state
from the weight of the world just take
a second to set things straight
i'll be fine
even though i'm not always right
i can count on the sun to shine
the dedication takes a lifetime
but dreams only last for a night
Edward pov
I woke up around noon, wind blowing through the open window and curtains billowing around wildly. The wind gave the room a cold chill and I pulled the blankets over myself more out of habit.
The house was filled with silence and I wondered where Jasper was. I lay still for a few more moments just thinking to myself.
With an exaggerated sigh I got up and walked blindly to the bathroom as my head spun around my eyes going black from the dizziness. I showered and dressed and more awake I made my way downstairs to the kitchen.
I made a coffee making sure to add extra honey to it. I took a sip of the delicious mixture and looked around the kitchen, spotting a small folded piece of paper on the white marble bench. I unfolded it and immediately recognized Jaspers untidy swirl of letters.
Gone out with Alice, she's convinced me to enroll in school with her, I think I'm
in love and already I wish to spoil her, see you when schools out
Jasper
The note read. I reread it twice just to make sure my brother had actually admitted to loving her and then decided to make use of the empty house I set to work. I was going to invite Bella and Alice to dinner tonight and the house needed to be tidy.
I started with the kitchen washing up and wiping everything down and then I moved to the living room vacuuming the carpet and even picking up all the games and DVD's off of the floor.
Within the next four hours the whole house was clean, well almost all of it, I refused to touch Jaspers room.
Jasper pov
Edward was ditching, it was so unfair, he called it a surprise excursion but somehow I doubt that's what he told his teachers. School was dragging on and on and self pityingly I thought I could have easily faked sick as well and yet being honest and all I had come.
Stupid I thought. I looked up at the clock that was slowly ticking; it seemed to go in slow motion just to tick me off. Get it tick, I thought to myself.
Jesus now i was making jokes, really bad jokes. It was last period and my social studies teacher was dragging on and on about god knows what. Honestly i didn't even know why i took the class i mean it had social in it but it also had the word study. Emphasis on the study part.
stupid i thought again. I sighed and started aimlessly drawing across my notebook, the rest of the period was a very boring blur.
"oi, sleeping beauty, wakey wakey" I half yelled as I walked into the room dropping my school bag.
Edward was sprawled across the couch asleep. I looked around and noticed the house was spotless.
"Whoa, and I thought I was bored, maybe you're actually sick, your defiantly showing symptoms" I muttered and walked out to inspect the other rooms.
They were all completely spotless except one... My room.
"Figures" I muttered staring around my familiar messy room. I walked back downstairs to find Edward missing. A few moments later I heard the shower. I pulled out one of our play station games and set it all up.
By the time Edward had finished and dressed i was halfway through level 6.
"Afternoon, what's up with you, oh and did you know you missed a spot?" I asked turning to stare at my brothers neat dressy clothes.
He was holding up mine and wordlessly he threw it me. Then he walked into the kitchen. Quickly i changed then followed him into the kitchen. He was cooking something, or making the preparations to cook something and finally my curiosity got the best of me.
"So what's happening tonight, I can't believe you did this all for my company" I said.
"Your right, Bella and Alice are coming over and by the way your shit is everywhere, have you not heard of a room or putting things away?" He said turning around and sighing in exasperation.
"Never, maybe you could explain it to me" I said.
"Go away before you piss me off" Edward joked.
"I'll be in the living room if you need me" i said not believing my luck, i got away with a date and a free meal.
"Actually, you're in charge of dinner I'm preparing desert" Edward said.
"Really?" i asked sighing.
"Yep, really really" Edward said and then he left. "Don't worry ill forget to save you're high score just so i can beat it" he called over his shoulder as he walked past.
Bella pov.
I stood nervously facing the door with Alice standing excitedly next to me. I tuned out her meaningless babble and looked down at my outfit for the millionth time. I wondered if it would have been better to let Alice choose my clothes.
"You did fine, otherwise I wouldn't have let you in the car Bella, your sense of fashion is good. It would want to be since you've been hanging around me for over 8 years," Alice told me with a smile.
"Yeah but-" I went to argue.
"I only enjoy choosing because its fun and I like doing it," Alice said. I knew this of course but I couldn't help glance at my outfit one last time.
I had on black flare jeans with a semi dressy tee shirt. It was black with silver beads around the low dipped collar and it was tight at the bottom making it poof out. I had my comfy favorite Mickey Mouse jumper hanging off of my arm and a pair of black silver buckled flats to complete the outfit.
"You look great Bella, as always," Edward said.
I hadn't realized the door had opened and it seemed Alice had already entered and was chatting to Jasper. I heard their voices travel out as Edward smiled and ushered me inside.
"Thanks," I whispered as I walked into the kitchen, following Alice and Jaspers voices. Jasper was leaning against the counter next to Alice who was sitting on it. I could smell food in the over but instead of getting a nice smell I smelt charcoal. I lunged towards the oven opened it and took out a very burnt looking chicken.
"Shit," I heard Jasper say.
"You were in charge of dinner, I had desert remember," Edward asked skeptically staring at his brother.
"What type of pizza do you want ladies," he asked ignoring Edwards comment. Naturally Alice answered for both of us. "Supreme thanks."
While Jasper walked from the room to order pizza Edward offered Alice and I a tour.
"I've already had the grand tour," Alice chimed jumping from the counter and heading out of the room presumably looking for Jasper.
"I'd love one," I said politely.
"Well this is the kitchen and the living rooms just through there, where you walked through to get into the kitchen," Edward started explaining.
"C'mon" I muttered grinning as I walked up the stairs.
Edward showed me around and finally we ended up in-front of a locked door.
"What's in there?" I asked curiously.
"My music room, I used to play for my parents," Edward said opening the door with a key that rested on the cabinet beside it. I stayed where I was as he walked in.
"I don't want to disturb anything or-" I started to say but Edward ushered me inside urging me to take the seat next to him at the piano. Our bodies pressed together as we sat side by side on the adjoined chair. And Edward began to play and the song warmed my heart it was amazing.
"Wow," I whispered in awe as he finished the last note.
"Did you like it," he asked.
"Yes, what song is it?' I asked curiously.
"I wrote it, it's a lullaby but it doesn't have a name, I wrote it for you, well you inspired me to write it, so I guess Bella's lullaby," he said.
"Thank you" I whispered touched. I'd never inspired someone enough to do something like that, something so wonderful and kind.
"Touching," Alice commented from the doorway. I had to restrain myself from rolling my eyes at her, that and push down the urge to strangle her! Timing much! I turned to face her well glare at her.
"Pizza's here," she said happily and skipped off.
Edward and I joined her and Jasper in the living room, it seemed they had decided on a movie called Underworld and I had never heard of it. I stared at the cover, I didn't like the look of it, it sounded gory and gruesome.
I took a bite of the pizza, it didn't kick in eventually but after my third slice I felt sick which was unusual for me considering i usually have at least five. I made Edward get a bucket for me to have beside me just in case, surprisingly I didn't vomit though and for that was grateful. I stuck to drinking water while Edward preferred his orange juice and Alice and Jasper some sort of wine.
Alice and Jasper were lying across the lounge when we started the movie. That left the love seat for Edward and I. I didn't want to practically sit on his lap so instead I sat at the foot of the chair while Edward made popcorn.
"What do you think you're doing Bella, Pregnant people get the chairs ill sit on the floor." Edward said looking at me with disbelief.
"Pregnant people's wishes get obeyed and I'm not taking your chair," I said folding my arms stubbornly.
"Fine, Jasper a little assistance" Edward asked as he sat on the loveseat and squished himself into the arm chair.
"Wha-" I began as Jasper walked towards me but my words were cut off by a shriek as he lifted me up and gently placed me on the chair. I sat as still as a stone as I felt something punch me in the gut.
Jasper was settled with Alice again and the movie was about to start. I moaned as I grabbed my stomach and felt it again.
"Edward! Edward!" I started frantically.
"Oh my god is the baby coming, are you ok do we need an ambulance. Jasper call an ambulance," he babbled going into panic mode.
"Seriously? Is the baby coming? I'm 5 months along" I tell Edward like he's an idiot which he kinda was in that moment normally he's smart I mean he's going to go to med school.
"I panicked" he defended himself.
"You looked like you were in pain and shock or" Edward started babbling again. Alice and jasper remained silent watching with amusement.
"He's kicking," I whispered a happy dazed smile filling my face as I grabbed Edwards hand, lifting up my shirt to reveal my stomach and resting Edwards hand across my stomach gently, waiting for the next kick.
When it came Edward gasped beside me and when I looked up him I saw he was grinning so happily I could have sworn I saw tears in his eyes.
"Jasper come here mate, she's kicking," he said.
"he" i corrected quietly but either he didn't hear me or he chose to ignore my comment.
The movie forgotten everyone crowded around me taking turns to place their hands on my stomach and feel my little baby's kick.
"Bella, please can Esme and I design a room for the little guy, it can be a surprise and everything and you can be in charge of some clothes and we'll make it extra special, please, please, please." She begged watching as Edward once again rested his hand over my stomach. His touch brought shivers down my spine.
"Yeah that would be a great help," I told Alice not even bothering to try and argue, i knew id end up giving in anyway Alice had a way of getting what she wanted regardless of what you actually wanted, although maybe with this she wouldn't I'd never know.
"Wow, well can we have an ultra sound so I can choose room colours? You don't have to look or anything, also I want to make a tape of it?" Alice asked smiling widely.
I looked at Edward to see if he wanted to, i was willing to as long as he agreed. Having the little guy kick like that had made me buzz with excitement and anticipation, i liked the thought of having a little baby, a life that was mine to protect.
"I don't want a surprise anymore, feeling her kick was just, I want to know." He said and there was a light in his eyes and when he talked his voice seemed to radiate with happiness.
"Ok," I said nodding.
Alice ran from the room excitedly and within the hour we were on our way to the hospital. I don't know how she managed but Esme and Carlisle were there waiting and within two hours I was lying in the bed listening to the sonographer (Person who does ultra sound) telling me that it would be cold on my bare stomach.
I gasped as the cream was smoothed over my belly, the cold sensation was one I'd never experienced and it felt strange like a dog's nose rubbing up against you.
Everyone went quiet; I clutched Edwards warm hand in mine as we all waited for the screen to come on, for the picture of my little baby, my tiny child to appear on the screen monitor. And those few seconds it took for the screen to come on felt like the longest days in my life, as I held my breath waiting.
Edward Pov
I stared at the monitor confused at the blue/black image that was our child. I felt an instant love for the tiny creature although I couldn't make sense of its head nor tail it seemed to have endless arms and legs.
My little girl inside my beautiful, well I didn't know what to call what we had. Should I call Bella my girlfriend or my best friend or the unluckily girl that ended up in my home vomiting because I blessed her with a child she didn't want.
The doctor was silent letting everyone take in the picture, my little bundle of joy inside my Bella. I heard her sigh in contentment as she too stared at the screen.
I flickered my eyes to her, smiling as I saw the love in her eyes. The tears that were silently running down her cheeks and dripping from her nose.
I leaned down and kissed her cheek where a tear was, effectively wiping it away. Bella looked up at me and smiled softly then wordlessly we both turned to the screen transfixed with the beautiful image, knowing beyond a doubt without communicating that our love for this child was irrevocable and our hearts were broken with the love in them.
In that moment our life was perfect, all my friends and Bella staring at the screen with such joy it was just one of those perfect moments until Alice uttered a single word that made the picture of my child make sense.
"Twins," Her voice rang loud and clear in her excitement, and with the biggest grin on her face she whispered the single excited word again.
"Twins"
Startled I looked at Bella and met her frightened eyes.
Thanks for reading, and please review it always brightens my day. sorry for the updating issues ill try and update more often, i have the next chapter almost complete just doing a final Jasper pov and then I'm done. Here's a sneak peak of the next chapter.
"Twins" Bella stuttered and with sympathy I noticed her eyes were wide and frantic. "Bella, we'll be fine we have Alice and jasper and Esme and Carlisle all of them will help us I'm sure and more importantly you've got me" I said looking down. Bella calmed down at this smiling up at me as I stared at my toes, shocked that I had used such a cheesy line, Bella deserved better than horrible pick up lines. "Thank-you Edward, I know we'll get through it but I'm just, scared" she admitted.
Also i'd like to thank Isabel for editing the chapters and helping to write the Jasper Pov's.
