But I miss
Screaming and crying
And Kissing in the rain
And it's two a.m.
And I'm cursing your name
I was so in love
That I acted insane
And that's the way I loved you
Chapter 15
The Way I Loved You
"Can we go around the table and say what we are thankful for?" I asked. I didn't even realize I asked it. Thanksgiving was always Dad's favorite holiday. Before Tyler left the three of us would play football on Thanksgiving. Then Tyler and I would pull an all nighter and sleep while mom went black Friday shopping. But Tyler is e now. He moved on, and so must I.
"Sure Alice, why don't you go first," Carlisle said looking right at me.
"Ok. I am thankful to be welcomed into this wonderful home. I am more than thankful for my wonderful, supportive friends. "Also, for my family new and old." I said
"I'll go next," Emmett called eagerly, "I am thankful for everyone, food and beds. " Everyone started cracking up. "What? I like toe at and sleep!"
"Ok Emmett, Rosie you're next." I said.
"I am thankful for my brother Jasper, all of my new friends, Carlisle and Easme. Bella you're next"
"I'm thankful for all of you for supporting everything I do. You guys are amazing friends. Jasper?"
"I'm thankful for Roaslie and Alice. For Emmett and Bella. No Matter how peeved I get I'm thankful for Edward, too.
'Why thanks Jasper. I'm thankful for all of you as well as my parents."
As we finished up dinner I pulled Jasper outside. We started walking along the treeline.
"Jasper you know what else I'm thankful for?"
"mh what?"
"you"
"Everything I've done to you and your thankful for me? Why?"
"I decided to keep the baby because of you. I'm going to try to start a family. And you know what else? I want you to be part of that family." He looked at me like I just told him to commit suicide. Ok, so maybe that was a little harsh.
"What if I screw up again"
"You wont"
"How do you know?"
"Because we all make mistakes." He leaned down slowly. I gently placed my hands on his chest.
"Alice Brandon I love you with all my heart and soul. We may still be young, but will you marry me?"
"Jasper Whitlock, as soon as we graduate and I've had this baby I will be yours for a thousand years and then some." He leaned down and kissed me softly.
"Never let go"
"Never" we grabbed eachothers hands and sat on the bank watching the sun set.
"Thank you for such a wonderful time Esme."
"Don't you worry about it. Good luck finding an apartment! Just let Carlisle know about Christmas." I leaned in and gave the woman who became my new mother in over the course of a weekend a hug.
"I'm really sorry I changed my mind"
"Oh darling don't you worry your pretty little mind. I'll be fine. I have five new children to take care of now. Plus, I'm just a phone call away if you ever need help." We tightened our hug before we let go.
"LET'S GO!" I yelled. We had to hurry back to school so Bella could catch her flight. Edward was going to drive her back to the airport.
The car ride back to the school was tearful. However, we all shared many laughs.
I woke up the next morning to an empty dorm room. I rolled out of bed, showered, and threw on some yoga pants and a hoodie of Jaspers. I grabbed my Mac and pulled up class requirements. I put together my schedule for next semester. I was already beginning to feel stressed because finals are next week.
(A.N./ I am kicking myself because I really didn't do any research on classes and now I am. Please forgive me. Anyone who knows anything about teaching courses please let me know. I'm kind of just doing this blindly using UCLA course catalogue xD )

I've also decided to take a technology course next year. I'm also glad that I don't have to worry about having the baby during school. In two months, I get to find out the sex of my baby! I'm so excited.
I ran down to the boys room to see if any of them were up yet. Edward stayed at a hotel by the airport. So he wouldn't be there. Emmett was gone already which was pretty odd seeing as he usually was a late sleeper. Jasper was still sleeping though.
I jumped onto his bed and snuggled up with him. I gently traced his lips and cheek bones. (A.N./ Ok writing this I'm like that's really awkward but let's roll with ) He began to wiggle around a bit. He wrapped his arms around me and brought me closer to him. I squeaked really loud. His eyes immediately shot open.
"Alice?"
"Jasper!"
"Alice?"
"Jasper!"
"Yes, yes I'm Jasper you're Alice. What are you doing here?"
"Just chilllin' do you want me to leave?" I feigned sadness. (A.N./ did I use the right context there?)
"Nope!" he snuggled closer to me. "So what do you want to do today? Apartment hunting?"
"How about you show me your schedule for next semester!"
"But, I don't like school." He whined
"You better damn well like school" I tried to sound strict
"Yes mother"
"Hey spanking is still legal" I shrugged
"You wouldn't!" he jumped out of bed. (A.N./ Jasper is spiderman now?)
"Show me your schedule!"

"Well look at you smarty pants" I laughed.
"Now show me yours!" he tickled me. I handed over my schedule.
"You're taking 5 classes, working a job, and pregnant. When are you going to study? How are you going to take care of yourself?"
"Simple enough; I won't be going out on Friday and Saturday nights hence the whole pregnant thing. I work Monday Wednesday Sunday. 12 to 5 on Monday Wednesday. 12 to 9 on Sunday."
"Oh"
"With enough time left over for me to get a second job as a tutor."
"Alice" he groaned.
"Jasper if we are going to get an apartment I need some money."
"Alice your going to regret it. Just let me worry about it."
"No Jasper! I'm going to be a mother! I'm not bringing this baby into a world and not have any money!"
"Fine I give up!" I reached on my tiptoes and kissed his lips. We melted into each other as Emmett burst through the room.
"MY EYES!" he yelled. "Ow!"
Rosalie slapped the back of his head. "Shut up!"
"We were just finishing up!" Jasper rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly.
"Dude universal sign; put a sock on the door." He got slapped by all three of us this time.
