Chapter Six

Jasper's POV

Tension was high in the house and I don't know how much longer I can stand it before I send a wave of calm to everyone.

Collin was worried about Ella's safety, Ella was determined to carry both children full term at risk to her own life, and Carlisle was upset that he hadn't made himself clear and now Ella was making a bad decision.

Emmett was busy trying to play doctor with Rose so they didn't actually know what was going on. I rarely checked on their feelings because they were always about each other and usually inappropriate for young ears to hear.

Bella and Edward were worried about how Nessie would react when Bex and Gazzy got home, Max was furious at Gazzy for leaving and worried sick about Ella, and Fang didn't feel anything other than love for Max-though he was concerned about Ella as well.

Angel and Seth were so full of lust that I simply stopped paying attention to them. Though his thoughts were probably more innocent than hers, what an imprint wants and feels, so does the wolf attached to her. I would have to warn Max about this new development soon.

Nudge and Iggy were trying to figure out what to do with their daughter Sierra, who seemed to be more trouble as of late than usual.

Will was watching Annie and AJ fly around outside and was jealous of the flying boy who got to soar the skies with his imprint, Allie was just as jealous that Annie was up there with Arian, and Emma was sulking in the corner because she didn't have anyone to be jealous about.

And Esme was worried for all of her children.

Like I said; a lot of tension in the house.

The only one who seemed to be calm under her own accord was my beautiful Alice. She was deep in thought about something so I knew not to disturb her. I couldn't help but wrap my arms around her though and kiss the base of her neck from behind. She was just too cute when she was distracted.

"Jasper, stop it." Alice said halfheartedly. We both knew that I could feel the happiness radiating off of her when I interrupted her thoughts.

"Whatever you say, ma'm." I said, laying on my southern accent thickly because I know how much it drives her crazy. I reluctantly let go of her and turned to face her.

There was a gleam in her eye when she mouthed, "I'll get you back later."

"So what were you doing just now?" I asked, trying to get her to forget that I was the one who distracted her a minute ago. "Scanning the future? Or planning a shopping trip?" I joked.

"As a matter of fact, I was trying to see the outcome of Ella's pregnancy." Alice stated with a frown. "Too bad Collin is a werewolf and so is one of the babies. It makes this all the more difficult."

"Can't you just try to see the future of the other baby? Or Ella perhaps?" I suggested.

"I can't place the other fetus yet because it isn't developed enough to make decisions." Alice huffed. "And Ella is so connected to the wolves, that there's no way to get a good reading on her future either."

I fought off a grin. My Alice hated it when she was blind, but she was so adorable when she was frustrated that I enjoyed watching her. Oh, who am I kidding, I always thought she was adorable.

"Jasper, this isn't funny." Alice fake whined, her lips curling into a pout.

Uh-oh, that pout is not a good sign.

"Jazz, can you do me a favor?" My wife asked, keeping the tiny pout on her face. "Pretty, pretty please?"

"Anything for you." I answered honestly.

"I want you to tie yourself to the second baby's future as if he or she is your own child." Alice said. She saw the expression on my face and continued. "I would do it myself, but it has always been easier to concentrate on someone else's future other than my own." She explained.

I nodded. I thought about seven months in the future, being able to rock the new little boy back and forth (plugging my nose the entire time because of the werewolf smell) and…nope, that was as close as I was going to cement myself to.

"I'm still not getting anything." Alice complained. "Are you sure you tied yourself to the right fetus?" She asked. "Maybe you aren't thinking far enough ahead."

"Seven months is plenty of time for the second baby to be born." I said. "Right?"

"Hmm, I don't know why this isn't working." Alice said, frustrated.

I scanned the room to make sure no one would hear me before I whispered, "Maybe that baby doesn't have a future for me to hold on to."

I knew if Alice were human, she would have cried. How do you break that kind of news to someone?
