Maybe Baby

AN: And we're off… I apologize for the extreme delay but school was really kicking my butt and I got a kitten so training her has been a bit of a pain when my apt is in such disarray I have to watch her a LOT but she's being declawed soon so I won't have to worry too much just when she tries to go after power cords again. But the main reason, my PC got a lovely little virus from my USB drive I use at school so needless to say I haven't touched my stories since it corrupts all files I open and this chapter was already mostly written.

Merry x-mas and what not to anyone reading. I plan on updating at some point tomorrow or x-mas because I will be at my parents with not much to do but sit and chill with my newly spayed and declawed kitten and her satellite dish (lol my poor baby).

Chapter 14

POV: Alice

"Shut the door Jasper" Anna said sternly, I saw Jasper's eyes meet mine before he turned to close the door. "Lock it" she added and as the lock clicked I jumped a little, if he was worried I think I should be too.

I don't know what I expected to happen but I was really waiting for his grandmother to do a 180 from sweet matriarch to Grammy Dearest. The soft looks were gone and now it was simply a blank yet determined look, I can't really be sure but Jasper looked as though he was holding his breath.

"Jasper Thomas Whitlock" I saw him drop his head forward as if preparing for a tongue lashing, I was gripping my dress tightly in my hands as Anna urged him forward by crooking a finger. Jasper stepped forward until he was beside me and I could feel the tension in his body, I swear. "How long were you planning on keeping this from your family?" I opened my mouth to speak but Jasper placed his hand on my lower back and I kept my mouth shut.

"We weren't planning on keeping this a secret Gram" Anna didn't look convinced and instead crossed her arms. "I wanted everyone to make their own opinions about Alice first"

"We both just found out" I said and I felt Jasper's grip tighten slightly before he loosened it again.

"I see" she said barely sparing me a glance before reaching up to grab Jasper's chin. "You've never been a good liar so tell me, how long have you known?"

"A few days, Alice found out last week but wanted to tell me in person so she waited till she got her" Jasper said and I saw Anna smile slightly.

"How long do you expect me to keep this secret?" she asked. I hoped this wasn't going to be all that bad.

"A week or two tops" Jasper said and I continued looking between the two.

"My silence is gonna cost you" she said after a moment with a satisfied smirk as she released Jasper's chin and crossed her arms. She looked smug as she bounced her eyes between the two of us.

"It's a girl" I said without thinking. Anna's eyes met mine and she just continued to stare at me with an unchanging expression.

"Due early January" Jasper added with a slight smile. I couldn't believe this, what the hell was going on.

"That is wonderful" she smiled taking his face into her hands and kissing his cheek before quickly doing the same to me. I felt my body relax, oh this woman was crafty. "Oh dear did you think I was angry?" she said sounding worried before hugging me tightly and rubbing my back.

"Gram I wasn't even sure if you were going to be angry" Jasper admitted, I looked up at him to see he had visibly relaxed setting his whiskey on the table and sending a smile my way.

"Oh Jasper I'm not saying I'm not disappointed a ring didn't come first but a baby is always good news" she said breaking from our embrace to swat at Jasper.

Once Anna let me go she bounded off towards a cabinet and began riffling through some papers. I walked over to Jasper and he wrapped me up in his arms.

"I love you" he said kissing my head. I buried my face in his shirt and squeezed him tighter, still not quite ready to speak.

"Now" Anna said walking over with a few photos in her hands, I heard Jasper groan. "Not to frighten you but I feel you should be aware" she said before pulling me to a seat on the sofa. "Being such a tiny thing and all" she continued as I watched Jasper pick up his whiskey and drain it before being handed a picture of the fattest baby I'd ever seen, it almost resembled a shar-pei with the fat rolls but was none the less so adorable. "Now this is Ryland at about 5 months, he was a porker and so was Raleigh, but this big guy is Jasper" she said handing me a picture of a rather chunky infant crawling out from under sheet I instantly smiled.

"Awe" Anna nodded her head and Jasper uttered.

"Unbelievable" I glanced back at him in time to hear Anna giggle.

"Yes Jasper was quite the porker until he was about 5" I couldn't help myself I kept giggling. The thought of my tall, lean Jasper as a chubby kid was just too cute. I didn't have to glance at him again to know right now he was very likely blushing, or shooting daggers at Anna and me as I was revealed picture after picture, after picture of chubby little Jasper.

POV: Jasper

Once the personal torture finally ended Alice and I returned to the party, the look on my face apparently said it all because my mother simply hid a laugh before raising her glass to my grandmother and Alice who were still smiling.

Mingling for a short while longer Alice and I said our goodnights and in her case goodbye's to my family before we started the drive home, it was relatively silent as Alice was half asleep and I was trying my damndest to keep my eyes on the road. I wasn't drunk or tipsy but close to exhausted. It had been such a long and definitely eventful weekend. I hated to see Alice off tomorrow morning but I would be seeing her Friday night and that in itself was enough to keep me from becoming too sad about it.

Once we pulled into the drive way Alice lifted her head and stretched. She sent a smile my way before opening her door so she could hop down once we were completely stopped inside.

"I need to sleep, I should sleep" she said opening the door while I followed behind, shutting the lights off in our walk towards the bedroom. "I just would rather spend time with you" she said heading to the bathroom to remove the few hairpins from her hair, setting her jewelry on the countertop.

"I wish you didn't have to leave in the morning" I said wrapping my arms around her from behind and resting my chin on top of her head.

"Me too, I enjoyed spending time with you but I feel like we didn't stop to breath once this weekend" Alice said sounding and looking truly exhausted for the first time this weekend, practically ever since she always seemed to have spare energy.

"After we tackle me meeting your family I say we spend a few days just the two us, no phones, nadda in your apartment" I said leaning down to kiss her bare shoulder.

"Sounds like heaven" Alice smiled turning her head to kiss my lips softly. "You look so tired" she said cradling my face in her hand. I turned my head and kissed her hand.

"I'm not that tired" I said pulling her tightly to me. I was really going to miss her.

New York

POV: Alice

"You quit!" Curtis practically shouted at me as we sat in the park eating our lunch.

"Yes and it's not like I'm leaving any time soon, 2 months almost" I said frowning as my stomach still felt empty and I had just taken my last bite of my sub and entire foot long sub and I was still hungry.

"But why?" he asked checking his Blackberry as it beeped.

"I need to get a few things in order" I said still not wanting to advertise my pregnancy to the world and telling Curtis would almost guarantee the whole office knowing by the time the two of us walked back in from our break. He means well but he is the biggest gossip around.

"Boss lady seemed almost happy about it" he added.

"Yes well I explained everything to her and that I don't really want to leave but I need too and well…" I paused, ok I needed to do it, "Look I swear Curtis if you tell what I'm about to tell you to a soul I will have Steve in IT hack all your profiles and send every one of your booty-calls a warning about you having Chlamydia or something worse, got it?" I used my most threatening voice and internally smiled when he let out a loud gasp of shock and looked around to make sure no one had put his name and Chlamydia together.

"Ok Alice I swear" he said.

"On Gucci" I added.

"Oh dear yes I swear" he placed a hand on his heart and nodded his head.

"I'm pregnant" a really loud, girlish squeal popped out of his mouth before he quickly covered it. Leave it to Curtis to hit every gay stereotype on the head when it was a time for seriousness.

"Oh my god I'm so happy!" he shouted before pulling me into a bone crushing hug. "Is that fine piece of meat you had on your arm in the park 3 weeks ago the daddy?" he asked.

I nodded my head, "I'm moving to Texas." I added and Curtis suddenly frowned.

"Texas?" I nodded my head smiling. "As in yee haw, Mr. Ed, Cowboy hat and boots, flannel shirts and an in-law named Bubba?" he asked and I glared at him. Yep stereotypes.

"I'm gonna pretend you didn't just say that but yes, land of cowboy boots and hats which are in fashion right now anyways" I added.

"Yes my little fairy but who ever heard of a fashion powerhouse in Texas?" I sighed. He was right, I really would not be able to find anything near the caliber of what I had here but this would be for the best.

"I'll find something to do and besides I can always work for a bridal shop or something till the babies born and I can find something worth my time ok" I explained.

"Sure sure, but all your work here will have been for nothing" he added and I felt my good mood go downhill as Curtis told me everything I knew but didn't want to voice.

M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I

POV: Jasper

The humidity was horrible, even in the terminal I could feel the dramatic change. Following the signs to where I would normally claim my luggage but instead meet Alice I felt extremely nervous. Today I'd meet her family, and not just her mom and siblings but her uncle, grandmother and well let's just say we were jumping all the way in. I would have tonight's cook out at her grandmothers to win them all over before tomorrow night when we'd drop the bomb on them that Alice was pregnant.

Let's just say when I told my parents there had been fireworks, and when I say fireworks I mean I had been chewed out by not just my dad but my mom. They were both very upset with me for knocking up my girlfriend and though they really liked Alice they were both very worried about how short a time we'd been together, figure in the fact that we'd been together for 2 months before I knocked her up and well let's just say I got the world's longest and irrelevant lecture about protection before I'd told them what's done is done and that Alice wasn't going anywhere. Thankfully that lead to a more comfortable and happy topic of how much they loved her and how good she was for me and how good she was with the nephews.

I entered the crowded baggage area and began my scan. Alice was so small it was very hard to spot her but there she was. White Capri pants, a purple tube top and white heels standing next to a very, very tall, tan, man with a mechanic shirt on and matching hat. He looked bored almost but jumped slightly when Alice squealed and came running towards me. Preparing for impact I pulled my duffle higher up on my shoulder before bending down to scoop her up into my arms. Completely forgetting everyone around us I kissed her deeply, since my talk with my parents I'd really needed her and now I had her and I sure wasn't going to miss any chance to show her how much I love her.

"I love you" I said softly when we broke apart, our foreheads still touching, her legs around my middle.

"I love you, I missed you" she said kissing me again. Just as the kiss got better, though it was slower and much less desperate as our last one we heard someone clear their throat. "Sorry this is my neighbor, mechanic, and my brother's best friend Jacob" she said and I actually looked up at him to see a huge wolfish smile on his face.

"Hi Jacob nice to meet you" I said removing one hand from around Alice to shake his.

"You too" he simply said slapping me on the back, though it was a rather solid slap I really don't think he meant it to be intimidating because he simply walked off, not waiting for us.

"I imagined him to be a lot smaller" I said causing Alice to giggle.

"Ever since he turned 16 he's been big foot" she said hopping down from my arms. I wrapped my arm around her waist and together we followed Jacob to the car.

AN: So did ya hear about the GA flooding… yeah well here it is pouring again some snow would be nice. Anyways we've met Rose and Emmett and now Jacob. Don't worry everyone else is coming but this is a purely Alice/Jasper story so though they are there I won't branch out it gets me off track.
