A/N: Again, not happy with the reviews. :( but I'm still updating. BECAUSE THIS CHAPTER IS AMAZING! SO MUCH WILL BE REVEALED...but the story's not over yet; if you remember, this is also about Alice and her children; But that will be maybe... a few chapters or one big chapter seperated into different stages of the children's lives; might be in the threequel, too.
Bella's POV
"Jacob! We don't have time for this; I'm sorry." I was running now, but not fast enough or so it seemed; I needed to get to Alice. She needed me..." Jacob, just get the doctors. Tell them to get to the meadow. NOW!" I screamed when Jacob didn't move. Did he understand, we didn't have time for this?! He must have sensed my distress, because he left without another word.
When I got to the meadow, tears of worry streaked my face and my my throat was hoarse with exhaustion. "Alice! Alice- Jacob's getting the doctors...you're going to be-" I stopped in my tracks; Shocked filled my brain as a gasp escaped my lips. "J-Jasper?" I saw Edward there as well, but I expected him; I expected his visits. But Jasper's appearance was a shock to me.
He stood over Alice, pain wiped over his face; He stroked her hair gently, barely looking up when he saw me. "Bella..." sadness dripped from his tone. His voice broke twice; He inhaled deeply before speaking again, probably trying not to cry. "Thank you-for everything. For helping Alice..." Edward walked over to me, wrapping his arms around me waist; I was still angry with him; furious in fact. But I would deal with him later. Right now, we had more important things my me and my relationship with Edward. "I don't think she's going to make it." I heard Jasper whisper, but I don't think edward and i were meant to hear. New tears replace the previous ones, leaving new stains on my cheeks. How could Jasper think like that? Alice was going to make it... she just had to.
Jasper's POV
I didn't know what to feel right now; Of course I was upset, dying on the inside. Like my heart was being ripped in two. Seeing Alice this broken, this hurt was killing me on the inside. And I couldn't help but think that it was going to kill her too.
That's the part when I really lost my emotions. I wasn't sure how I would react to Alice's death. How would I feel, watching her pure, white clothed, glowing soul rising out of her lifeless, pale corpse, ascending into heaven, leaving all of her loved ones behind. And joining me? As horrible as it would be, I could not but help to consider it; A part of me secretly smiled at the thought of being with Alice now, for eternity; Not having to wait for god knows how long. A part of me wanted her with me right now.
But I shook that thought from my head immediately. Still...I couldn't help thinking that Alice wasn't going to make it. I sighed; And what about the babies? My sons/daughters? I couldn't take their mother from them, even if it wasn't me who had personally done it. Alice needed to stay, I decided. Stay with our unborn children; That much I knew. I repeated this again and again to myself; Too bad I was having trouble believing it. A part of me wanted- needed Alice with me.
I stopped stroking Alice's hair, for a time. Instead, I looked at Edward and Bella, trying to ease myself and my quiet, dirty desire. I had hoped that by looking at Bella and Edward, I could silence my evil wish by reassuring it that Alice and I would still make our relationship work; Bella and Edward did it, right?
Wrong, or so it seemed. Both of them seemed to be awkward, with each other; Bella seemed reluctant to touch Edward, that much I could see through her tears and soft crying. She looked uncomfortable with Edward around her waist. She didn't have that loving look I remember...
And Edward seemed to have so much on his mind, but other than that, he didn't seem to have any less love; he looked at Bella (not that Bella did). If anything, he looked worried, or hurt, probably noticing Bella's distance bodylanguage, not sure what to make of it. Needless to say this was doing nothing for my relationship anxienty.
Before long, doctors came rushing into the meadow, nurses bringing blankets and pitchers of what looked like water; the baby was going to be delivered here.
Alice's POV
My eyes opened, reluctant to meet the light; My mind was groggy, unwilling to remember what had happened last. My eyes could barely stay open. The only thing keeping me awake was the chatter around me,and the agonizing pain running through me. Where was I? What was happening-
"Here comes the baby." I heard someone say. Whose baby? My baby...MY BABIES!
I was in labor; right now.
Everything seemed to make sense, then and I fought hard against the pain in my head telling myself I had to do this. Alice was not a quitter;
"She's awake!" I heard another voice say
"Alice..." someone breathed; i knew that voice. It was thick with relief and waryness, but I knew that voice. And it sounded close; Jasper. Jasper was here. "Alice you have to push" I heard him say. I turned around as best as I could. I gasped, not believing what I was seeing. Yet, this all seemed like deja vu. Like I had been repeating this. In my dreams perhaps...
No; No, today. Jasper- edward- I could remember. The panic of it all- my heart beat speeding up, my breathing becoming shallow- so much panic, between the pain of the contractions and the shock of seeing jasper, risen from the dead, that I shut down completely.
"Jasp-" I barely could say his name, before more pain came back at me, full force. I let out a scream; Jasper winced
"Push! Alice, you have to stay with me." this voice was not jasper's but a man's; most likely a doctor. I tried me hardest to push- i tried not to scream anymore...Jasper held my hand gently, and stroked my hair.
Funny, how through all the pain, all the screams I swallowed back, that this was one of the best moments of my life. Strange how just knowing that Jasper was there, knowing he was holding my hand made this the most beautiful expierience of my life. It made the pain seem so trivial in the much grander picture of life.
And so, it was on that day, October 14th, hours later, that I gave birth to two gorgeuous and happy babies; Aurora and Aidan- my son and my daughter.
