Chapter 28

'Alice!' I said rushing to her side as her face scrunched in pain. Carlisle also rushed forward while Emmet backed into a corner.

'Eww!' he commented loudly as Alice let out a grunt of pain.

'Bella, I need you to time her contractions,' Carlisle ordered helping Alice sit down. I watched my clock while holding Alice's hand. Carlisle pushed Emmet out of the way and picked the phone up again.

'Hi, yes we need it to take less than a few hours; my daughter has just gone into labour! I'm a doctor but that shouldn't change anything. I don't have any medical gear down here. This is not an appropriate place to give birth. What do you mean you can't speed it up! NEVER MIND!' he said slamming the phone down. Alice crushed my hand again indicating another contraction.

'Approximately 2minutes Carlisle,' I said as Alice screamed.

'Okay Al, looks like you're giving birth here!' Carlisle exclaimed searching through her bag for supplies.

'But Jasper isn't here! I'll hold on!' She said looking at me panicked.

'Al, you can't hold on it endangers you and the baby. Emmet give me your jacket and shirt, Bella your jacket please,' Carlisle ordered setting up a prehistoric medical centre in the middle of the elevator. Both Emmet and I complied. Carlisle also removed his jacket.

'Okay, Emmet can you please go and sit behind Alice and prop her up against you,' Carlisle said. Emmet reluctantly moved forward toward Alice who was now in deep sobs.

'Okay, Alice I'm going to check how far dilated you are,' He said as he moved toward her. She quickly clamped her legs shut and looked at him angrily.

'You're my Dad!' She exclaimed horrified. Carlisle rolled his eyes.

'Yes, I know but I am the only one in this lift qualified to do this, so unless you want Bella or Emmet to deliver this baby I am going to have to,' he said patting her on the knee. Alice shook her head.

'You're not a baby delivering doctor though!' She said her lips now white. She clamped down once more on my hand and I let out a little noise.

'Al, he just spent 12months in Africa, the only Doctor to a village full of pregnant women, not only are you giving birth in a high class facility in comparison but you have the best doctor for it, just let him do what he needs to do!' Emmet ordered. Alice looked up at him and then finally gave in and sighed. Carlisle examined her carefully.

'Okay, we have a little while, mean time Alice practise your breathing,' he advised. We sat in silence as Alice breathed in and out when i heard Alice's phone ring. I quickly answered it. It was Jasper.

'Please tell me you're not the poor people stuck in the elevator!' I heard him ask, nerves filling his voice.

'Um yes, yes we are,' I answered.

'Bella? Why are you answering the phone and not Alice?' He asked, now sounding more worried. As if on cue Alice let out a scream.

'Is that Jasper?' She cried and I nodded.

'Bella? Bella? Why is Alice screaming? Is she okay, is she hurt?' He said panicking.

'Jasper, um,' I started but Alice snatched the phone away.

'YOU DID THIS TO ME!' she screamed into the speaker. I snatched the phone back.

'She's gone into labour and she didn't mean what she last said,' I said glaring her. She glared back and muttered that she did. 'Don't worry Jasper, Carlisle is here and he is helping her through this,' I said keeping my tone calm. Jasper started to freak out and I could hear that he was running. The phone cut out.

'Jasper? Hello?' I asked and then noticed there were not signal bars. I cursed under my breath. Emmet pulled his phone out and I looked at him hopefully. He shook his head. I had left my phone with Edward and Carlisle didn't have his either. We all sat back, resting against the walls when Alice screamed too soon.

'Already?' I asked leaning forward wiping her brow with a hanky Carlisle had found in Alice's handbag. She nodded.

'Dad?' She asked as Carlisle examined her again.

'Okay sweetheart, it's time to push,' He answered. Emmet went pale and i mustn't have looked to much better. Alice looked from me to Carlisle in fear. I took her hand again, knowing it was going to be crushed. Emmet braced her carefully and together we all helped her push. She screamed loudly and cried Jaspers name. I wished he could have been here; he was missing the birth of his first child.

'Okay sweetie, one more big push!' Carlisle encouraged. Alice cried.

'I can't do it, I just can't,' I patted her for head once more.

'Come on Alice! In a few minutes you're going to be a Mom! Think of Jasper,' I said trying to encourage her. She took a deep breath in and then let out a huge wail as she pushed once more. Just as she pushed i felt the elevator move again and the cry of a healthy baby. I looked to Carlisle to see a tear falling down his face.

'It's a baby boy!' He said proudly holding him up for Alice to see. Emmet burst out crying as did I. Alice just looked amazed.

'Hello Squishy,' she said fondly and the doors opened breathing fresh light into the elevator. Jasper pushed through the crowd and collapsed onto the floor next to Alice and kissed her forehead.

'You're a Dad,' she cried.

'Do you want to cut the cord Jasper?' Carlisle asked. Jasper leaned forward and used a pair of Alice's nail scissors and snipped his baby boy free. Carlisle gently wrapped the baby in my jacket and rested him on Alice's chest. Alice held her baby close, and Jasper held her closer. They were beautiful.
