BPOV

Seeing Emmett go down was heart breaking. I fell to the ground next to him. The police we on Alec right away. I saw the paramedics rush through the door and run over to me. No one tried to push me out of the way. I think they knew that I wasn't about to go anywhere. I couldn't hear anything. The only thing in my mind was my only brother was on my floor dying and I couldn't do shit about it. I sat there sobbing over him until they had to take him to the hospital. Jasper was there to help me up. I immediately turned to him and sobbed into his shoulder. I could feel the tears coming from his eyes that dropped onto my shirt.

I wasn't the only one that was losing here. Jasper and Emmett have been best friends for a long time. Of course he would be hurt. Jasper walked me outside and we saw Esme and Carlisle. Esme was sobbing into Carlisle's shoulder like I was doing with Emmett. They might not have seen it happen but they definitely saw Emmett on the stretcher being taken away. A few paramedics told Jasper and I that we had to go to the hospital and get checked out. I was still numb with emotions. I just nodded along. Jasper drove us to the hospital. I knew that I was going to be spending a lot of time here. I couldn't leave my brother.

When we arrived I saw Rose and Demetri. Rose ran right up to me and embraced my crying figure. She was sobbing as well. We stood there until Jasper pried me away. He was worried about the baby and said I needed to be looked at right away. It didn't take long for the doctors to do an ultrasound and tell me that my baby was fine. I was given strict instructions to remain calm and get sleep. It was hard to do that though.

2 weeks later

Today is my baby shower. About 2 days ago Emmett was released from the hospital. We also received news that Alec was not granted bail and until his hearing he would be behind bars. Jasper and I decided it was best if we stayed in the apartment. But after the incident we invested in an alarm system and a few extra locks on our door and windows. We are very careful now. I wasn't as hard as I thought it would be to wake up and go into the room my brother was shot in. I think that's because in the end we are all okay. Emmett was shot in the shoulder and fortunately it missed all of the major nerves. I was happy to hear that. He is supposed to make a full recovery. I owe him my life.

Rose got here in the early morning and we began to cook. I decided since this was just family and friends that we should keep it simple. We again put our two tables together in the living room and set up the table. Around 2 people began to show up. Rose and I decided not to do any of the old baby games and stuff because of the small size of the party.

When opening the presents I was surprise to see that they had gotten me everything on my list. It was perfect. I thanked everyone about a thousand times. I wasn't expecting that.

The party was short and ended around 6. I was tired and I had to get Jasper to put the whole bedroom set together tonight. I just couldn't wait to see it. After everyone left Jasper and I sat down on the couch and looked at each other. We were really never alone like this anymore. I needed to talk to him about how I felt. I haven't had the chance too.

"How's school?" He asked. I did start teaching a week ago and I have to say that I love it to death. It was the highlight of my day to see my students.

"It was good. You?" I asked. His classroom ended up about 20 feet from mine. It was actually really funny.

"Good, real good." He said. We were in an awkward stage of conversation.

"Jasper do you remember when you told Alec that you needed the baby and I, and you couldn't live without us." I said. It kind of shocked him a little bit. He retaliated quickly and answered.

"Yeah Bella, I do remember. That was just about the scariest day of my life." He said.

"When you looked into my eyes something changed inside me. I wasn't able to control it anymore. I realized that I loved you." I said. There it was, out in the open now. I heard him turn towards me and look at me.

"Really?" He asked. This is what I was afraid of, he didn't love me back. I simply nodded my head. His fingers went to my chin and pulled my face so I would look at him. Staring into his eyes felt like staring into his beautiful soul.

"I've loved you for so long. Longer than you will ever know. That is the best thing I have heard in my entire life. I love you so much Bella." He said. I couldn't help but smile. His lips gentle came down upon mine. We shared our first kiss tonight and I couldn't have been happier. I knew this is how my life was supposed to be.

Jasper and I would have spent the night differently if I wasn't pregnant. I got my fair share of kisses though. It was nice to know that there was someone always there. We fell asleep in each others arms that night. I was happier than I had been in a while.

I woke up early for school the next morning. I made myself some tea and got ready. Around 6 Jasper and I left for work. We always just go in one car because were going to the same place and we leave at the same time. Why cause global warming to get worse? In the car Jasper held my hand the whole way there. I was overwhelmed with joy. When we arrived Jasper walked me to my room and then took off with a quick kiss. The first bell rang and my students piled in. I had students every period except for second and sixth. I used that time to get most of my grading done.

All of my students had heard of the tragic things that had happened to me. Some of them stay after class sometimes and talk to me. I have the best kids. I only teach AP English, it's a course for only seniors. They are all respectable and really involved.

"Good Morning class!" I said after the final bell rang. I got a chorus of hellos and good mornings back.

"Okay so I thought we should make today sort of fun. I know we decided to read an easy book first, but because of that we have to discuss in depth. So today will be all discussion." I told them. They were all happy about that. Our discussions were great and a lot of the kids could relate to them.

For all of my classes in the day we got into deep discussions. A few tears were shed because of the subjects brought up. The books we read are mostly violence this year. At the end of the day I sat down at my desk. A few of my students came in and started talking to me.

"How are you doing Miss. Swan?" They asked. They were some of my brightest students.

"I'm doing really well, thanks for asking girls. How are you?" I asked them. I knew some of my students had rough lives. I loved to be able to help them.

"Well I guess were okay. I mean high school is some tough shit." One girl said. I liked her, her name was Emily. I knew for a fact she was dating a guy named Sam. He was a popular kid in this school. He was also one of my students.

"Well real life is harder. Hows it going with Sam?" I asked. These girls talked to me almost everyday. I knew a lot about them and it's only been a week.

"Well I don't know really. He and I are kind of at a weird stage right now. I think he might be cheating on me." She finally said lookign down.

"Look I've had a lot of guy problems that you wouldn't understand. But I know for a fact that if he really cared about you he wouldn't cheat. Confront him about it and see what happens." I said. She nodded.

"I know, I'm just afraid that he is." She said.

"One thing I have learned in my years is to be independent. Most girls depend on guys for everything. I've always loved the feeling of accomplishing a mans task by myself. One of my best friends is actually opening a garage near by. She's worked so hard to get there." I told them. Our conversation ended soon. I was all packed up and ready. I decided that I would go see Jasper, He was usually done by now.

I walked the short distance to his room. He was looking down at his papers and grading them. I knocked on the door and he looked up.

"Bella! What time is it?" He asked.

"About 3." I told him. School let out at 2:11 so we had been here a while.

"Sorry, I lost track of time. Want to go out to dinner?" He asked. I nodded and set my bag down beside his desk.

"Alright, where do you want to go?" He asked.

"I'm up for anything." I told him. He packed up his papers and we left the school building. In the car he gave me a quick kiss and we drove home so we could relax for a little while.

I have to say my life is really boring right now.

Please tell me what ya think. 8)
