Okay so here we are. I know some people got confused on why Emmett ran away... All will be explained in this chapter. Have some faith 8) I knew I would confuse you... It's part of my diabolical plan 8)

BPOV
I woke up feeling a little sick. My throat was a little sore and my nose was stuffy. I figured I had gotten a cold from last nights adventure into the park at 11. God damn that brother of mine. He had some serious explaining to do. I sighed heavily as I struggled to get out of bed. It took a few minute but I did it.
Wait. How did I get in bed? The last thing I remember is falling asleep on the couch. I am way to heavy right now and I doubt anyone could carry me to my room. I walked over to my bathroom and decided that I was in need of a shower. I one as quickly as a pregnant woman could and got out. Like yesterday I just wrapped a huge towel around myself and walked into my bedroom. I wasn't expecting to see anyone in there but to my surprise Rose was sitting on my bed. I looked at her as I walked over to my dresser to grab a bra and panties.
"How are you Bella?" She asked.
"I'm doing okay I guess. I think I have a cold from last night." I told her. My sniffling confirmed it.
"Yet another thing I have to kick Emmett's ass for." She said with a sigh. She was looking down and fiddling with the strings on her sweatpants.
"Rose I still have to talk to him. Just let me figure this out first. Anyway, what are you doing here?" I asked her.
"We have to go get the invitations done today." Rose said. I walked into the bathroom but left the door open so we could talk. I quickly shed the towel and put on my bra and panties. I walked to my closet as I answered her.
"I completely forgot about that. What time is it?" I asked her.
"It's 11:30, we need to be there at noon." She said. I was slipping on a pair of yoga pants and a t-shirt. I looked at her.
"Well I'm ready." I said. I quickly brushed my teeth and took care of my other hygiene problems. We walked out into the living room together to find Jasper sitting on the couch looking very stressed out. He stood up and walked over to me when he spotted us. He was standing in front of us staring and I decided I would make the move. I moved a step forward and hugged him. He sighed with relief and relaxed a bit under my touch. I liked that I was the one to do this to him. I was the one that made him worry and I was the one that could take that worry away. I trusted him with my life and I couldn't imagine life without him now. Was I falling in love with Jasper? Was Jasper falling in love with me? I pulled away and quickly kissed him on the cheek. I turned to Rose.
"Ready?" I asked her. Jasper was standing there in shock of what I just did. I cared for the man more than he will ever know. I mean I was attracted to him but I don't think I can handle a relationship at this second. Maybe after all this shit blows over.
"Yeah lets go." She said. Rose and I got our shoes on and I grabbed a light jacket. We were out the door before Jasper could say anything.
Getting the invitations was great. The girl made a custom invitation just for me. It was really pretty too. We were there till about 2 making up the rest of the invitations. Rose and I decided that we would take them home and mail them out.
When arriving at the apartment I was upset to see that Jasper wasn't there. He did leave me a note though.
Bella and Baby,
I went to the gym to work out with Emmett. Were going to order pizza tonight and have Rose, Demetri, and Vicki over. I thought you and Emmett could work things out tonight. We'll pick up the pizza, beer, and your sparkling water on the way home. We should be there around 5 like everyone else. I can't wait to see you,
Love Jasper
I smiled at the note. I knew it now. I was developing feelings for Jasper. I wasn't sure if this was a good or bad thing though. We've been living together for about 3 months and I have never felt this way before. The way he is always there for me is comforting. I loved the way it felt when he held me in his arms when we hugged. And last night when our lips came close to touching. It was like a spark of electricity. The feeling lingered around after words. I get butterfly's in my stomach whenever I think about him. I can't help but smile when I'm with him. I can only hope that he feels the same way though.
"Ready Bella?" Rose asked.
"Ready for what?" I asked her.
"We have to put addresses on all of these so I can take them to the post office." Rose said.
"Oh, right. Can I have one?" I asked. She handed it over to me as she finished writing out everything on the first envelope. I waddled down the hall and into my bedroom. I stuck the invitation into my night stand. I wanted to put that in the scrapbook too.
It took Rose and I only 30 minutes to get everything done. It was about 3:30 and we were board out of our minds. Rose decided she was going to make the trip to the post office really fast. I told her I would stay behind because the weather was kind of chilly and I didn't want to get even more sick than I already was. She understood and made me lock the door as she left. I giggled at her insanity.
Ever since I became pregnant everyone was worried that Alec would find out. I really haven't told anyone but my friends and family. I don't see how he could find out. I made myself a cup of hot tea and sat down on the chair in the living room. It wasn't long before my phone rang. I didn't recognize the number but I answered anyway.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hello Bella" He said. Seriously? My worst nightmare just came true.
"What do you want Alec?" I said in a nasty voice. I wouldn't say one word about the baby.
"I want you. I miss you Bella and I want you back." He said. He sounded almost desperate.
"Alec I've moved on, go find another whore. You aren't going to be in my life anymore!" I yelled. I was getting worried and stressed. I had my hand covering my stomach. Almost as if I was protecting my baby.
"Bella you will regret not coming back to me, I know you will." He said. I laughed.
"Getting away from you was the best thing I ever did." I said in a nasty tone.
"You will regret this." He said.
"No I won't. Know get out of my life and don't call me again." I said. I hung up the phone without hearing his response.
From the sounds of it, he didn't know I was pregnant with his baby. If it came down to it I would clam it was someone else's baby. He doesn't deserve a child. I took a sip of tea and calmed myself down. It was 10 minutes later when Rose walked into the apartment.
"You okay?" She asked. Damn, I thought I looked calm. I was hoping she wouldn't notice. I had to tell someone.
"Alec just called me. He wants me back and I said no. He was clueless about me being pregnant. I think I just need to get my number changed." I told her.
"Fucking scumbag. I want to go kill him. I can't believe he has the nerve! When Jasper hears about this he is going to go crazy. Were getting you a new number tomorrow." She said. I could tell she was upset and angry that he found me. I had changed my number a few months back because I was getting weird phone calls. How the fuck did he get it?
Rose and I sat and talked about my baby until everyone arrived. We all sat in the living room to eat and Jasper made me stay in my seat. He ended up making a salad to go with my pizza and brought it to me. I thanked him as he sat down on the couch in the seat closest to me. Emmett didn't say much but he sat on the floor in front of me. Rose brought up the subject of the phone call.
"So Bella got a phone call today when I was at the post office." She said. I gave her a glare. It wasn't the right time to do this.
"Who called?" Vicki asked me. I sighed, I knew I couldn't avoid it now.
"Alec called and said he wanted me back. I obviously told him no and to fuck off. He knows nothing about the baby. I'm getting my number changed tomorrow so don't worry." I said. When I was finished I realized that I was looking at Jasper. I was afraid of how he would react.
Jasper was silent. I was worried when he got off the couch and started to walk toward the door. I struggled to get up and waddled over to him really fast. I was somehow able to get between him and the door.
"Move Bella." He said. I looked at his eyes that seemed to have gotten darker. I had one hand on my stomach but the other reached up and lay resting on his cheek. I made him look into my eyes.
"I'm fine." I whispered. I could see him fighting away the urge to move me aside and walk out the door.
"Are you sure?" He whispered back after a minute. I nodded my head. I threw my arms around his neck and hugged him.
"Jasper I will get it taken care of tomorrow." I said to him. I heard him sigh.
"I worry about you. All the time I think about if your okay and if the baby is okay." He said.
"I worry about you too." I said. Our moment was over when Emmett walked over to us and asked me if we could talk. I nodded to him and we both put our shoes on and I put a jacket on. We walked outside and sat on a bench near the apartment.
"Why did you run?" I asked.
"Which reason do you want?" He asked.
"All of them." I said. My hands were on my stomach again for comfort.
"Do you remember a year ago?" He asked. I nodded yes. "Do you remember how I used to like you? I feel so wrong that I didn't realize that you were my sister, I mean I knew we had a connection but I never guessed that we were brother and sister. I felt like if I ever ran into my sister I would know right away that it was her. I remember being 4 years old and mom and dad telling me that you were gone. They said that the angels needed your help to watch us. I cried for days wondering why the angels chose you and not me. I thought I lost you forever and I was just kind of shocked when I realized that I had known you for nearly 4 years." He ended. I leaned my head onto him.
"I have to say that if I were you I would have run too." I honestly told him. He chuckled. We talked for a few minutes about how we would spend the rest of our lives cherishing the time we had together. Before long the sun began to go down. Emmett helped me up and led me inside. I was still a little hungry so I grabbed a piece of pizza and reclaimed my spot on my chair. Jasper was smiling at me, he just always knew.
I guess I fell asleep again after all of the exsitment. That's a lot for a pregnant woman to deal with. I knew that from now on things would hopefully start to get easier.
Well... review and tell me what you think. 8)
