AN: FF is being a butt and won't let me upload so I'm replacing old documents with new text so scroll down it should be the new ch. 7
Maybe Baby
AN: Alright I apologize for the delay but I owed my other story a chapter and schools kickin my butt at the moment. Also I know I said Alice had two half brothers and step-sister but I meant two half brothers, a step sister and a half-sister.
Ok so sorry sorry but personal life delivered me a swift kick in the ass plus some severely serious family issues that made finishing this chapter really hard. Some people can actually write easier when something similar happens in real life but not me. Every time I tried to continue it just didn't fit and seemed too disjointed. Had no flow so I'm trying this again. A LOT OF INFO on ALICE'S family is given here.
Chapter 7
POV: Alice
I felt my whole body tense up as my mouth instantly closed. Standing before me was a sight I rarely ever saw much less wanted to see right now, especially taking into account the red face or anger and the others red with embarrassment I'm betting. That blissful, post coital glow and smile I had about myself instantly vanished, not because they'd heard us, obviously we hadn't even cared to try but because as always his timing was impeccable. Tiffany was actually trying not to smirk while I noticed Chris and Kyle looking wide eyed in shock before Kyle sort of grinned. He was old enough to know what I'd been doing, hell I was wearing a thin robe, my hair was in disarray, body damp with sweat and I'm sure the stench of sex is pouring out of my apartment and off of me.
"What the hell is going on here Mary Alice!?" my father, no scratch that sperm donor shouted at me while my step mother looked at her hand flinching at how tight her husband was now holding her hand. I'm shocked he even knew my full name or the fact that I don't go by Mare as I had been called in my infancy.
"I'm answering the door!" I shouted back trying to think of something spiteful and mean to say since he had just interrupted a very important moment. I still needed to know what Jasper said about love. Jesus the worst timing ever for my absent father and step family to show up for a surprise visit.
"Sounded more like my daughters turned into a whore!" ok so my mind completely switched gears and before I realized it my hand made harsh contact with my father's face. He was taller, not taller than Jasper but I was livid. My own father had just called me a whore, and his daughter, I don't even feel like his daughter, in all honesty I feel how I would have felt if my mother's latest boyfriend, not that she'd had many had called me a whore.
"Where the hell do you get the right to call me a whore!?" I screamed seeing the door across the hall pop open to reveal a sweaty Emmett and Rosalie. They both were in their workout clothes and Emmett looked like he was going to beat the shit out of my father, Rose was looking past me and I knew without looking that Jasper had come out. I felt his arm wrap protectively around my waste while Emmett halted to grip the doorframe. With Jasper by my side Emmett knew he wasn't needed right now.
I saw my father's nostrils flare and knew why, Jasper's hand was resting just below my breast while I rested my shaking hand overtop his, the other hand still gripping the doorknob.
"Who is this?" Jasper asked, clearly he couldn't see the resemblance and I can't blame him, I looked like my mom, the only thing I had of my fathers are his light blue eyes, the same exact shade.
"I'm her father!" my father yelled glaring at Jasper for asking such a dumb question. "Who the fuck do you think you are corrupting my little girl!" he shouted shoving Jasper's shoulder only Jasper barely even moved. He was braced for this; he knew exactly who this was.
In a second Jasper had my father's wrist firmly in his free hand, tightly if my father's flinch was any indication. "What kind of man calls his daughter a whore?" Jasper's voice was firm before he quickly dropped my father's hand shoving him backwards slightly at the force.
"I can't believe you called her a whore" it was Tiffany; she was glaring at our father. She is his oldest since my siblings and I don't count.
"I will call her as I see fit, screaming like some goddamn whore, just where the hell do you get off sleeping with her, she's only 18 for Christ sakes!" he shouted causing a few more doors to quickly open before I felt my heart clench, I wasn't 18, fuck my own father doesn't even know how old I am. I guess 18 was an easier guess since his oldest with her was 20, bet he forgot about Johnny completely.
"Stop calling her a whore!" Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper and surprisingly Tiffany yelled at him while I felt a laugh pop out of my mouth.
Everyone looked at me as I bit my lip and looked up at him. I couldn't form words.
"She's 22!" it was Tiffany again. Yeah the half-sister who doesn't like me or know me much knows my age but the man who helped create me doesn't.
"Shut up Tiffany!" he shouted as I just shook my head. This was unbelievable.
"Obviously you won't be nominated for father of the year any time soon" Emmett scoffed looking disgusted at my father. No John, that's right Ian was my father figure I don't need this sac of shit in front of me.
"Butt out!" my father shouted finally looking at Emmett whose arms were tightly crossed over his muscle clad chest while Rosalie looked like she was going to attack at any second.
Rose glared at the neighbors' who retreated back inside their apartments, I knew they were all eavesdropping.
"I'm at a loss for words" Jasper said causing everyone to look at him. John had just insinuated loudly that Jasper was practically screwing a minor, Jasper may look younger than his 29 years but still it was wrong and uncalled for.
"Listen John, great of you and your family to pop by to say hello but Jasper and I were in the middle of something and would appreciate it if you would leave" I said trying to sound calm but lacing my voice with venom, adding a sultry glance up at Jasper when I mentioned us being busy.
"How dare you disrespect me, I am your father and I demand the proper respect I have due to me!" he was almost purple, I'd really set him off. I let a smile grace my lips.
"Oh I'm sorry, please forgive me, I had no idea uncle Ian was here, because let's be honest here he was the father escorting me to every father daughter function, coaching and cheering on Johnny's baseball team, walking Becca down the aisle, teaching me how to ride a bike." I turned to Chris and Kyle, my half siblings, Chris was 10 and Kyle was 15, they'd already heard worse then what I was about to recite but might as well look like I gave a rat's ass what they heard. "Ear muffs" they knew what to do and once their ears were covered I laid it on thick. "I was having a lovely time with my boyfriend who is not married so don't call me a whore ever again because in my head that is the whore who killed my family" I said in a low enough voice that the ear muffs would really block this out. They didn't need to hear me call their mother a whore, well Tiffany was hearing it but she is old enough. "No offense Tiffany" I added as my step-mother suddenly looked embarrassed. Yeah did I mention she's a big bitch? Seriously what kind of woman who has kids lets her new husband ditch his children? She was usually the main instigator when it came to visits with dad, she treated my siblings and I like bastard children when in all honesty that was Tiffany but it wasn't and isn't her fault.
I glanced down again and realized the home-wrecker was pregnant; again, wow he'd be leaving her soon. Who knew he was so fertile? Well then again 6, no soon to be 7 kids yep man needed his balls chopped off to save his kids from him.
"Alice" Jasper chided me softly. I am with a gentleman and I know I crossed the line calling her a whore but it shut them up. Sure my da…John was fuming right now and Tiffany looked torn but I was hurt and pissed as all hell right now.
"It's the truth ya know, John took off with her without a second glance at us" I spoke looking sadly up at Jasper before turning to John. "My mother was suffering from depression after giving birth to two more children and then the man she'd loved since she was 15 up and leaves her for another family which he ruined to might I add. Case in point Dana choosing to live with her father as soon as she was old enough to decide for herself" I spat that part at the home-wrecker. "I spent the next 2 years of my life seeing my mother once every other week on suicide watch while uncle Ian put off Law School to take care of us because 3 kids is a bit much for my grandmother your MOM" now I was turning my glare on to John, "to take care of on top of a sick husband" I was crying now. Jesus why am I crying? I don't ever cry, I get mad and I cry when I am sad not angry.
I felt Jasper's grasp on my waist tighten as I gripped his tightly fisted hand hard, the anger was radiating off of him, not towards me but towards the man before us looking like he's the best thing since sliced bread. I'd told Jasper my father was hardly around and that he left my mom when I was 1 but I didn't elaborate, he didn't need my daddy issues and I didn't want them to cloud the short spans of time he and I have together.
"Listen here Mary Alice your mother made damn sure I never saw you so do not go placing the blame on anyone but her" he sounded livid and I felt something in me break as I once more hit my father, this time harder than before and with a fist, I could feel the throbbing in my hand and wrist but I knew he could feel more than that. I'd managed to connect a solid punch to his jaw and he was now on the floor holding it and groaning while the home-wrecker rushed to his side. Chris and Kyle removed their hands from their ears to gape at their father while Tiffany had tears in her eyes as she watched Jasper pull me in tight against his chest and turn our bodies in case someone dare to retaliate.
"I never knew that" Tiffany whispered while sniffling. I don't know how great a father he was to them but I guess I'd truly shown her what he was capable of when it came to his children. I wasn't upset with myself for spilling the beans but I didn't want Tiffany thinking my siblings or I resented or blamed her for this. Sure when we were younger Becca started the childish hate against Tiffany within Johnny and I but as we got older we realized, after our mom, Ian and grandparents explained her innocence we wised up but it had hurt knowing he'd chose her over us.
John was still on the floor with Linda fawning over his swelling jaw and busted lip, sending me the occasional glare as John's eyes never left my face. They were filled with contempt and now I understood why Jasper was holding me the way he was, he was ready to take the blow if it came. I pushed away from Jasper and cradled my throbbing hand to my chest before approaching my siblings.
"I don't hate or dislike any of you" Tiffany nodded with tears rolling down her face while the boys continued looking between their father and Tiffany and I.
"He always told us your mom wouldn't let you come to our birthday parties" I glanced down at Kyle, he looked sad but I knew for a 10 year old it was amazing he was getting any of this. Obviously ear muffs hadn't been quite so effective.
"Dad never sent out the invitations we made" I noticed it was Kyle. So apparently Kyle knew. "Dana told me" he said in a low voice. I felt another well of tears threatening to pour down my face, the siblings I never really got to know had wanted to know me, and their horrible father wouldn't send them, he made it look like we didn't want to know them.
"Dana lies, you boys know that" so the home-wrecker speaks, I felt my eyes go cold as I fixed my glare on her, Dana was the only reason I even knew they existed. My siblings and I always sent a card on birthday's because Dana knew the dates and would tell us. "I knew it was a mistake trying to reach out to you, your mother has truly poisoned your mind"
I had to keep reminding myself I couldn't hit her, she was pregnant but I could use my words. "So what happened to the birthday cards my siblings and I sent? Did they get lost in the mail every time?" I heard Chris gasp while Kyle turned his glare on his dad. Wow my words seem to really be striking some nerves in my siblings. Tiffany stepped forward though, between her mother and I as Emmett kept watch on John who had stood up. John didn't even look concerned for the home-wrecker being in my face.
"So those were the cards you and dad shredded every year" I glanced at Tiffany.
"They weren't birthday cards they were filled with vile lies and hatred" I felt my anger bubble as once more the home-wrecker spoke lies.
"Happy birthday is neither a vile lie nor anything resembling hatred" Rose spoke stepping towards me. I was beginning to feel a little sick to my stomach. Linda truly was the monster I'd always made her out to be in my head. I had never misunderstood her treatment towards my brother, sister and I, we'd all actually been right.
"No one's talking to you Blondie" John said with a sneer. I smirked when suddenly Emmett had him pinned to the wall, his arm across his throat, his feet barely touching the ground.
"You really should shut up before someone slugs you again mother fucker" I saw Jasper's hand touch my arm while Rosalie's shielded me as I passed Linda; they thought she was going to hit me.
"Emmett, he's clearly not worth it" Jasper was cradling my swollen hand as he said this leading me backwards.
Emmett quickly removed his arm and let John fall down against the wall.
"Get out before we call security on you" Rose threatened as John rubbed his throat and gasped for air.
I shared a look with Tiffany and then the boys before Jasper nodded at Emmett and shut the door to my apartment.
POV: Tiffany
Once the door closed I watched the big guy from across the hall stare down my dad. It would be a great fight and I am sure my dad would lose but right now I just wanted one thing and I'm scared the blonde girl glaring at my mother won't let that happen.
"Excuse me" I said politely attempting to pass the blonde and head for Alice's door, I wasn't stopped but I could feel all eyes on me as I turned the knob and closed the door behind me. Alice was sitting in an oversized chair with her boyfriend tending to her hand; they'd both looked up at me when I'd entered. I was an adult now; I could hear my father trying to threaten Alice's friends because they wouldn't let my parents near the door. I was choosing a long overdue relationship with my sister, and though I didn't intentionally tear her family apart and I know it's not and never was really my fault you can't help that guilt that the family you love was built off another's well two others misery.
"Tiffany" Alice said through a sniffle. She had obviously continued crying after coming inside but I couldn't blame her with the purple and black coloring of her hand.
"I just wanted a minute" I said and saw her boyfriend stand up to leave us alone. "You can stay" I said quickly halting his movements was Alice's good hand. I smiled at them both before approaching; I kept my distance because I am still unsure of what I'm going to do about all this.
"I'm sorry about what I said" Alice weakly spoke in my direction.
"I suppose if our roles had been reversed I'd have said the same thing, I can't believe he spoke to you the way he did" I added shuddering at the recent memory. No father should call his daughter a whore, if Alice were on a street corner hopping in cars for money then ok yes but not in her own apartment; she pays for with her boyfriend.
"I really don't hate you, Kyle or Chris" Alice said moving to stand before me. I approached her and held out my cell phone to her.
"I know and I'm going to be living up here, Dana suggested I see you, she told me you've been here and I figure without my parents around, especially our dad that we could get to know one another" Alice looked down at my phone for a moment before taking it.
"I'd like that" she said using her trembling fingers to punch in her number. I heard the soft beginnings of 'That's not my name' by the Ting Tings and smiled. "Now I have your number"
"I better go before your neighbors call the cops" I smiled before stepping forward to awkwardly hug Alice.
"Don't be a stranger" Alice said with a bright smile, I had always heard from our grandmother, the rare times I got to see the woman that Alice was always so happy, she'd made it her life's ambition to cheer up anyone that was sad. It was good to see that smile on her face.
"Of course I won't" I smiled and with that I left the room.
POV: Jasper
I watched the interaction between the two girls and couldn't help but feel relieved my family wasn't this messed up. I mean we were messed up for sure, but we didn't have a strained relationship like this. Our relationships when strained were over little, minor, tiny disagreements that usually were repaired by the end of a month at the most but this takes the cake.
I watched Tiffany leave and couldn't help but let out a sigh as the door clicked shut and she called on her family to follow her away. She'd likely pay for coming in here, as much as I don't condone lying I can't help but feel lying about her reason for coming in here would be a smart move at least until she's moved here herself.
"So that's my dad" I turned to see Alice cradling her tender hand.
"Sperm donor sounds more appropriate" I said knowing my father would have beat the crap out of her father for even insinuating his daughter was a whore but then again my father could never say something so harsh to one of us, the worst he'd said was calling Maverick a disappointment when he was 23 and the world's biggest man whore. Sure he finished college but Rick went through a few rough years and then he met Darcy and their romance took off and all was better. Rick grew up, married, and started a family and made up for his mistakes. Either way those are probably the only words Whit or Liv Whitlock could utter to cause true hurt.
"Yeah suppose so" she sighed and I turned to wrap my arms around her.
"Let's get you some ice"
AN: WARNING: A lot of information about Alice's family is inserted here so don't worry too much if you don't understand it because you will simply be getting Jasper's POV by only knowing what is said here. Alice HAS told him her father left her mother when she was 1 but she only mentions having 2 siblings and a step-sister. She doesn't have any hard feelings towards her half-siblings but she never sees them, never hears from them, and has probably met them a handful of times. Alice also harbors a deep grudge against her step-mom along with her dad as you will learn her step-sister harbors the same grudge. So again if this gets a little confusing just review the chapter and tell me and I promise within the next few days after this is posted (if not sooner) I will post a HISTORY chapter that will encompass Alice, Becca, and Johnny's upbringings as well as explain what went through their step-sister Dana's head in that time. The reason Johnny (Alice's brother) goes by Johnny is because he was named after his father being the only and first son. The shortening to Johnny was started by Uncle Ian and Alice's living grandparents just know that John Brandon (the dad) alienated his new family from his blood family as well as Alice's mom and siblings.
Also note: Jasper is a gentleman but once he learns the whole story he will remove the gloves so to speak. Alice's brother-in-law doesn't even recognize John Brandon as his father-in-law, an in-law of any kind or a grandfather to his daughter with Becca. You will learn why when I post HISTORY. Just remember when I post HISTORY Jasper won't know ALL that information yet, by the end of the story he will know every important detail of Alice's life.
FINALLY: the photobucket album for this story has been updated to include parents, step-siblings, half-siblings, and Uncle Ian whom Alice called her father in this chapter. Ian is John's younger brother, he has the OTH Keith/Karen relationship without the romance or anything, they are just GOOD FRIENDS who are united in their disgust for John Brandon.

Maybe Baby
This is an authors note:
I have an update almost ready to go for this story but due to family issues in my own life it may take me a little longer to update since this chapter deals with fictional family issues.
Once I can complete the second half of the chapter I will post it because I do not feel posting what I have would work. I'm trying to keep each weekend Jasper visits down to 1 or 2 chapters and posting this now would make this 3 chapters.
I'm going to go ahead and warn you a family member of Jasper or Alice is at the door and they did hear Alice and Jasper's animalistic romp so be prepared to see a side of one of our characters you haven't seen yet.
So I will give you guys a preview of what to expect:
Alice will pass out at work (you will find out she is pregnant and why she herself didn't figure it out)
Alice & Jasper go camping
Jasper gets drunk
Jasper's sister Ashley (the youngest girl Whitlock) bonds with Alice
Alice goes home (to Mississippi) and chaos insues
Jasper tells Alice the story of his wounds mentioned after Lemon 1
