Alright, I am in serious need of all of you! I'm not sure if I should bring Alec back into the story but I'm doing it. 8)
I don't own anything.

Bang!
My eyes shot open. I looked around to see that I am still in the chair I fell asleep in last night. I sighed and struggled to get up. I looked at the clock and realized that it was still 2 in the morning. I knew I had no hope in falling back asleep so I decided to investigate the noise. I went for the kitchen first. I knew that I could also relax with a nice cup of tea. As I approached the stove to grab my tea kettle I heard a slight shuffling noise. I looked behind me to see where it had come from. I didn't see anything out of the ordinary. I shrugged it off and filled the kettle with water and set it on the stove. I turned it to medium heat and walked away. I walked down the hallway and went into my bedroom. I quickly changed my clothes and walked back out. I had the feeling I was being watched. I kept looking around me but never saw anything. I decided to look in on Jasper.
I opened his door. There was a slight creek that reminded me of nails on a chalkboard. I shivered. I wasn't sure if it was due to the noise or the feeling of eyes boring into my back. I was suddenly a little scared. I saw Jasper move around and then his eyes opened up just slightly.
"Bella?" He asked. I sighed, waking him was not my goal. I walked into his bedroom leaving the door open behind me. He sat up as I came to stand by his bed. He moved over and motioned for me to sit. I did.
"What's going on? Why are you awake?" He asked. I kept my eyes on my hands that were fiddling on my stomach.
"I don't know. I woke up and I was in the chair in the living room. I couldn't fall back asleep so I put the kettle on the stove and it's heating now. I changed and decided to see if you were in your room." I told him.
"That makes no sense at all." He said. I looked up from my hands and have him a confused look.
"What are you talking about?" I asked. His eye grew a little wide.
"Emmett carried you to your bed last night. We shut the door behind us and let you sleep. Later Rose peeked her head in and said goodnight before they left." He said.
"Then how did I end up on the chair?" I asked him. I was suddenly nervous of what happened. Had I been sleepwalking?
"I don't know. Why did you have to see if I was still in my room?" He asked.
"Because I woke up to a loud bang. Also when I was in the kitchen I heard some shuffling behind me. I figured it was you." I told him. His eyes became saucers. He quickly got out of bed trying not to make any noise. He walked over to the door and closed it quietly. I heard the lock click. It was now pitch black in his room. I could hear him making his way back to the bed. I heard him open the drawer of his nightstand. I saw something illuminate his face. I looked down to his hands to see his phone. I looked at him worried.
"Jasper what's going on?" I asked him. I was concerned now. My hands went around my baby instantaneously.
"I think someone is in the house." He said. My breath hitched. It couldn't be. I jumped at the sound of my tea kettle screaming in the other room. I began to stand up and walk to the door. Jasper stopped me.
"Bella someone might be out there." He said. I looked at him.
"What should I do then?" I asked him. He held up a finger and dialed a number on the phone he handed it to me. I noticed that it was Emmett we were calling.
"Why are you calling me this late?" Emmett answered in a grumpy tone.
"It's Bella." I said. My voice was strained. I was terrified, what if someone was really out there?
"What's going on Bella?" Emmett asked His voice was laced with worry.
"I don't know, Jasper thinks there is someone in the house. Were both in his bedroom now." I said to Emmett. I was on the verge of tears. Jasper put his hand on the small of my back and led me to the bathroom. When we were in there he closed and locked that door as well. This time Jasper turned the light on. I sat down on the toilet seat.
"What do you mean someone is in the house?" He asked. I could hear him getting up and moving around now.
"I don't know. I woke up and I was on the chair in the living room. Jasper told me you put me in bed before you left. When I woke up there was a loud bang. I dismissed it guessing it was Jasper. I walked into the kitchen and began to make some tea. I heard shuffling behind me but I thought it was just Jasper or something. After that I went into my bedroom and changed and then I came to see if Jasper was in bed. He was sound asleep but woke when I opened the door. Then he explained why the sounds couldn't be him and that I couldn't have been on the chair. Then he locked us in his bedroom and now were in the bathroom." I said in a rush. Telling the details made it worse. There really was someone in the house and Jasper and I were sitting ducks.
"Bella I am almost there. Don't move." Emmett said. I sighed with relief and looked to Jasper. He had his ear pressed against the door. Emmett told me to hang up the phone so he could call Rose and mom and dad. I agreed.
"Bella I want you to stay here. When I leave you need to lock the door and don't open it." He said. His hand began to move to the lock.
"Jasper! Stay here. Emmett is almost here. He told us to stay." I said to him. I couldn't have Jasper going out there. That could be some cereal killer out there!
"Bella just relax. Here I will even take these." He said. I saw him open a drawer and pull out a pair of long scissors.
"Jasper just stay with me and the baby." I pleaded. There were tears forming in my eyes. I have never been this scared, ever. I've been in far worse situations and now is the time I break. Why is that?
Because Jasper was in danger, My baby was in danger too. My life was not only about me. I had a baby now and I also had Jasper, whom I cared so deeply about.
"Stay here, lock the door, don't open it until I say it's safe." He said listing off my directions. Before I could respond he was out the door. All I could do now was listen to what he told me. I quickly locked the door. I had my ear against the door much like how Jasper did earlier. The first thing I heard was the kettle pot being removed from the stove. The first sign that Jasper is okay. I heard the front door open and slam against the wall in the hallway. I jumped not expecting it. I could hear Emmett and Jasper talking. I wanted so desperately to get out of this bathroom. There voices had stopped. I could here the floor creek as they walked around. I grew impatient and unlocked the door. I quickly grabbed the cell phone just in case. I opened the door. I could see because the bedroom door was wide open. You would think Jasper would have closed it. I began to walk over to the door. I was slightly out of the door and could see Emmett and Jasper looking around.
"Jasp-" I was cut off by a hand coming from behind me. His other hand held a long kitchen knife. I noticed it was the one from our set in the kitchen. Jasper and Emmetts heads snapped to where I was. I was struggling agains my attacker. He pushed me forward and into the hallway. Jasper began to run to me.
"Any closer and she dies." The voice said. I was breathing heavily and I could hardly see due to the tears running wilding from eyes. My hands were on the attackers arm, trying to pry the knife away from my neck. I was sobbing.
"Don't hurt her." Emmett said. Him and Jasper were standing at the other end of the hallway. I could see Jasper trying to formulate a plan in his head. I was desparate. I needed to get away and save my baby.
"Why Bella, you look very different from the last time I saw you." The voice said. I finally recognized it as Alec's.
"Let her go!" Jasper yelled.
"Oh I can't do that, you see I need to kill Bella now. No one rejects Alec and gets away with it." He said. My breathing picked up and it was becoming harder to concentrate.
"Alec let her go. Are you really going to kill a baby?" Emmett asked.
"It's not my baby, what do I care?" He said in a nasty tone. I wanted to yell to him that it was his baby. But I knew that no good would come out of that.
"Alec, dude you have to let her go. The police are already on there way." Jasper said. He was trying to calm him down. Jasper was easily able to deal with emotions. I've always said it was a gift.
"I can't let her go. She rejected me and for that she needs to pay. I can't let her get away. I didn't let the others get away." He said. He was breaking. His voice wasn't as harsh now. It was like he was getting tired. I saw Jasper move slightly closer. I felt the grip slightly loosen but not go away. I couldn't stop crying.
"Please Alec, you can't take them away from me." Jasper begged and pleaded. The look in his eyes told me that he was telling the truth. That when I realized that I was in love with Jasper Whitlock. I began to hear the sirens in the background. I knew the police were close.
"That was a really stupid move to call them." He said. I could feel him tense up again. "Move into the living room!" He yelled at them. Jasper and Emmett slowly backed into the living rooms. I kept my eyes on Jasper. Alec jerked be along and soon we were in the living room as well.
"Alec let her go." Emmett said. I could here the pain in his voice. He had lost me once and now he could loose me and his first niece/nephew. Before I knew what was happening Alec threw me over to them. Emmett caught me just before I hit the ground. What I didn't expect was for Alec to throw the knife into the kitchen and pull out a gun. Emmett had me to my feet and behind him before I could blink. I began to openly sob. It took all of my strength not to fall to the ground. My hands were protectively wrapped around my baby.
"I let her go. Now someone else needs to die." He said. I settled down with the tears. They weren't helping much. The police sirens were really loud now. It only took a few minutes before the cops began to speak through a megaphone.
"This is the police and we have you surrounded! Come outside!" They yelled. I felt some relief knowing there were more people here.
"I might have to kill one of you now." Alec said. I was trying to keep my breathing even so I didn't hyperventilate.
"Come out now or we will be coming in!" The police yelled again. I knew this couldn't end well. The police barged into the house. It took one quick movement of his muscle to shoot the gun. The bullet went straight to Emmett.
Okay I thought that was a decent chapter. I needed Alec involved again somehow. What a wuss, he couldn't even handle the rejection of a pregnant woman. But will Emmett survive?
