Jasper couldn't believe it. She was actually coming. The new baby was actually coming. And he was so excited.
He still could remember the day that Edward's mom told him, Edward, and Emmett that the toys brothers would be getting a new sister. He already knew what a sister felt like. He had his own. She was older than him by a couple years. Jasper and his sister Rosalie were best friends with the Cullen kids. They lived right next door to Emmett and Edward. Jasper and Edward were the same age of four, while Emmett and Rosalie were six.
Jasper was always over the Cullen's house and considered it his second home. He would go there when he wanted to play, when he was upset, or when he needed a place to go. He was over there more than his house.
Jasper could remember the day clearly. It was right before Halloween in October. The kids were at the Cullen's and their parents had an announcement to make. We all thought it was something like a trip or a new toy; no one thought a new baby would be the surprise.
"Well me and your father have to tell you guys something," Esme said to the little boys staring back at her. The boys just stared waiting for their parents to tell them.
"Guys. Your mother is having another baby. Soon you two are gonna have a new baby brother or sister. Isn't that exciting," Carlisle said to the kids so they could understand. Emmett jumped to his feet and ran around yelling he was so excited. Jasper sat and smiled happy about the news, but Edward got up and stomped up the stairs to his room. He was not happy about the new baby.
Edward went through this stage of not talking to anyone and brooding over everything. When I would come over he wouldn't talk or play. He just stayed in his room a lot. So while he was up there I was down in the kitchen Esme and Emmett talking about the baby a lot.
Throughout the months we learned that it was going to be a girl. Emmett was even more excited to have a baby sister to protect since it was his job as older brother to do so. Edward though got even more upset. At least with a baby brother they would have some stuff in common. What was he supposed to do with a sister? Edward really didn't want to admit it, but he was upset about not being the baby anymore. He wasn't going to be spoiled and coddled anymore. It would all be the new baby's attention.
During Christmas everyone got stuff, even the baby got some toys and clothes. Edward was happy to get everything he asked for and couldn't wait to play with all of it. This was one of the only days he was excited about the day.
A little after February Carlisle and Esme told the kids the baby's name. It was going to be called Mary Alice Brandon. But we were all going to call her Alice for short. Everyone was excited about this, even Edward since he helped pick out the name Alice. Jasper and Emmett just couldn't wait for the baby to get here.
Soon it was June and Esme and the family were going to the hospital. Jasper and Rosalie went with Edward and Emmett to wait for the newest addition to their family. After a couple hours the baby had arrived. Everyone was a little excited. Some more than others.
Jasper and Emmett were the first ones in the room and ran over to see Esme. They all took turns and after Emmett, Jasper could hold her. When Jasper took her in his arms he looked down at her and knew from that moment he would always love her. He would be anything she needed. A brother, a friend, or a buddy, he would be there. He leaned down gave Alice a kiss on the forehead and whispered in her ear.
"You will always be special to me, no matter what."
