APOV:

"Jasper, I was thinking," I said climbing into bed, cuddling up to Jasper's side.

"You were thinking?" he questioned shutting the book he was reading and setting it on his night stand.

"Yes, I was thinking, it's never a bad thing."

"Alice, darlin', the last time you told me 'Jasper, I was thinking…' We ended up with that vacation home in Cabo."

"Yes Jasper, we did, but do you remember all the good times we've had at that house in Cabo?" I flirted.

"Oh yes, Cabo…" he reminisced.

"Jazzy, do you remember that weekend in Cabo last summer? When we went for that midnight stroll on the beach?"

I remember that night like it was yesterday, I remember that weekend like it was yesterday. That weekend trip was one of those thrown together at the last minute trips that we both needed. Jasper had been working nonstop for two weeks on some new building plans for a high priority account he landed. I'd spent those two weeks flying back and forth between Seattle and New York City putting the final touches on my new Fall line.

We needed to get away, to escape from life in general. Get away, just the two of us. In truth those two weeks we only saw each other a few hours, talked briefly twice a day and that was it. I was miserable, he was miserable. We needed to get away and reconnect with each other.

"Of course I remember that weekend Alice. It was the weekend that changed my life," Jasper smirked.

"What was it about that weekend changed your life?"

"Well, it was only a few weeks after that," he paused placing his hand on my stomach. "You told me the good news."

I giggled.

"Anyways…" I said rolling my eyes. "Before I was rudely interrupted."

"Hey, you're the one that decided to take a stroll down memory lane, sweets."

"Well, whatever so, I was thinking," I paused to look up at him. "And I had a whole lot of time to think considering that Rosalie kept me out all day shopping Jasper. It was baby store after baby store."

"Wait, wait, wait. Hold on one quick second. Did you, Alice Whitlock, complain about shopping all day?" Jasper chuckled.

"Baby, it was ten hours of Rosalie Ha-McCarty," I paused for a second to smile at my best friend's recent nuptials. Not that I was okay with the fact I wasn't there, I was just happy that she finally settled down. "Dragging me to three different malls within fifty miles of each other. Just to look at the same baby stores, it's all the-"

I stopped mid sentence. Jasper was laughing, uncontrollably.

"Jasper this is serious!" I pouted, "Stop laughing!"

"I'm sorry Alice, continue." he managed to get out between laughs.

"So like I was saying, I went to three different malls to look at the same dang baby stores, all because Rosalie just had to see if the store would have new things. I finally gave up on her at the third mall. Plopped myself down in the food court and enjoyed myself a Cinnabon."

"I'm sorry Rosalie dragged you through all of that. She didn't have to go and…" Jasper stopped, his voice gradually got softer.

"What's going on Jasper? Wait, why was Rosalie off of work anyways? What's going on?"

"Alice it's nothing. Just continue your story. You said you were thinking. What were you thinking about darlin'?" he said casually trying to cover up something.

His hand started to trace small circles against my arm.

"No Jasper," I whined. "What were you going to say?"

"It's nothing sweetie. Don't worry about it," he shrugged. "Please, tell me what you were thinking."

I sighed.

If it was the last thing I would do I would figure out what he was trying to hide. He wasn't the only one who was in on this secret I wasn't supposed to know about.

Rosalie.

Yes, Rosalie, pregnant, hormonal Rosalie. Some coaxing from our dear friends Ben and Jerry and I'm sure I could get some answers.

"Well, I was just thinking about the birthing plan we made with Dr. Montgomery."

"What about Ali? We decided on that months ago, remember? You wanted to go all natural, Bella tried to sway your decision, but you wouldn't listen."

"Well," I paused to shift my body on the bed so I was sitting up facing Jasper. "I was doing some research online and I came across water births."

"Water birth?" Jasper questioned, his eyebrows scrunched.

"Yeah, there's a birthing pool. There's been studies that have said that the water acts as a form of pain management. It's safer than using any form of anesthesia, not that I was going to use it, and it is natural…" I attempted to explain to Jasper.

"Okay."

"They said it'll also help the baby! The water helps create an intra-uterine environment, it softens the color and the lights. Not so overwhelming you know?"

"Whatever you want Alice. Whatever will make you happy," Jasper said taking my hands in his. "Have you talked to Dr. Montgomery about this?"

"I called her this afternoon. She said it's a good alternative, something she expected us to do from the beginning. She wanted me to talk to you about it first, before making any final changes."

"Well, if this is what you want, then that's fine," he smiled, "I don't have to do anything differently anyways. Just be there, hold your hand, and coach you through it."

"Um…"

"Um…what, Alice?"

"Well, yeah that's great and everything. You can stay out of the tub, but I was kinda hoping you would be in there with me."

"You want me to do what?" he choked.

"Sit in the tub with me as we deliver our baby. You can still hold my hand and stuff, but I want you to be in there with me."

"Um, Alice I don't know about that one," He said taking his hands from mine. "I love you and everything, but I'm not too sure how I feel sitting in a tub full of…."

Jasper got quiet.

"A tub full of what, Jasper Whitlock? Does that make you uncomfortable? Childbirth is a beautiful thing. You should be jumping at the opportunity to do this, Jasper," I huffed, "Right now, you're being insensitive to my feelings. You don't care about anything I want."

"Alice how could you say that? It's just-"

I cut him off.

"Yes, it's just what Jasper? You just don't care."

I quickly got under the covers lay down on my side of the bed. Far, far away from Jasper. I hated going to bed mad at him, but sometimes I couldn't help it.

It was stupid that he didn't want to do this with me, for me. I wasn't even going to ask him about, but when Dr. Montgomery insisted on it, I figured why not.

Good thing I did.

I reached over to turn the lap on my nightstand off and pulled the blankets over my body. I could still hear Jasper breathing heavily.

"Ali, baby. I'm sorry," he whispered.

The mattress started to shift, he was leaning over to touch me.

"Don't touch me," I spat.

I heard Jasper sigh and could feel him getting under the covers, rolling over to his side of the bed.

"I'm sorry Alice. I love you," he whispered.

JPOV:

Two days.

It had been two days since that argument that Alice and I had. She still wasn't talking to me. I didn't realize the argument we had was that serious, but then again that could've been my problem.

"Jasper, man snap out of it!" Edward yelled from behind me.

"Sorry, I was just thinking about something," I apologized as I set the brown box labeled "Edward's Stuff" down on the floor.

Emmett and I had been wrangled into helping Edward move all of his stuff into Bella's house. I'd spent the whole day working and it was Friday night. This wasn't exactly how I wanted to spend it. I wouldn't have agreed to do it, but he helped Alice and I move so it was only fair.

"What's on your mind, Jasper?" Edward asked as he set his box down.

"Nothing just some things Alice said the other night. She's still a little upset about how I reacted."

"Jasper's in the dog house!" Emmett yelled as he walked through the house.

"I'm not in the dog house," I defended.

"Technically…" Edward added.

"Shut up, whatever. Does Bella have any beer in the fridge?" I asked as I started walking towards the kitchen.

"I made sure she did," Edward said as he followed me into the kitchen closely flanked by Emmett.

Opening the fridge I pulled three bottles of Corona out and handed one to Edward and one to Emmett.

"So what'd you do this time, Jasper?" Emmett asked as he popped the top off his beer.

"Well, I guess she got this idea of changing her birth plan."

"Didn't you guys have that planned and done with months ago?" Edward asked. "Alice and Bella got into the argument about epidurals and stuff."

"Yeah, we did or at least I thought we did."

"Birth plan?" Emmett asked. "What the heck is a birth plan? I mean isn't it simple? Baby decides it wants to come out, you go to the hospital, you have the baby. You really need a plan for that?"

"Emmett it's a little more complex. Most mother's have this plan of how they want to have the baby. Natural, C-section, lighting in the delivery room. It's really complicated and sometimes unnecessary," Edward explained.

"So you're telling me I'm going to have to go through that with Rose?"

"Yeah, you will. Believe me it'll be an adventure. Alice sat there for hours explaining to me every single option she could choose. Asking me what I thought about it, when in reality I just sit there and coach her. She's the one who the plan affects," I explained.

"Oh," Emmett said taking another sip of his beer.

"So Alice wanted to change her birth plan?" Edward asked looking over at me.

"Yeah, well apparently she's been doing some more research about water births and she wanted to do that," I explained.

"I heard water births are supposed to be really good for the baby and the mother," Edward said.

"Yeah, that's what she said. She was explaining to me all about it. I told her it was fine, like I did with everything else. Like I said, it affects her, not me. Then she mentioned she wants me to be in the tub with her."

Edward nearly choked on the sip of beer he was taking when I told him.

"In the tub? Jas, I feel for you man. What'd you tell her?"

"Well, I got defensive. That's not the exact conditions I want to be in. She got upset because she's hormonal and everything," I sighed, "She turned over and went to bed. We never go to bed angry with each other. We never have, but we did. The past two days have been horrible."

"Wait, I'm confused," Emmett said.

"Alice wants to have her baby in the water," I said.

"In the water? That's different. I don't understand what the problem is."

"Well, you see, Alice wants Jasper to sit in the tub with her. Usually child birth can be quite, messy and yeah…" Edward attempted to explain.

"So, wait, if you do this Jasper, you'll be sitting in a tub of Alice's baby juices?" Emmett exclaimed.

"There rises the problem, Emmett," I admitted.

"Well, have you talked to her about since there man?" Edward asked.

"I haven't."

"Maybe you should," Edward said.

"Should what?" Bella interrupted as she walked into the kitchen with Leilah in her arms asleep.

"Oh nothing," I quickly said.

"Here let me take Leilah from you. I'm sure she's heavy," Edward offered as he carefully lifted Leilah out of Bella's arms.

Edward would make a great father one of these days.

"Thanks, love." Bella kissed his cheek quickly before heading over to the fridge grabbing a bottle of Corona for herself.

"Whoa Bells, do you think that's the right thing to do?" Emmett boomed.

"You know what, Emmett McCarty? I can hold my liquor. Just because I had a lapse in judgment that one night in college doesn't mean I'm not entitled to a beer now and then," Bella spat popping the cap off the bottle and taking a big swig of the beer.

"Well in that case. Here's to Bella, may you enjoy the exciting things that may come your way," Emmett said with a smirk. He clanked his bottle with Bella's before taking a drink.

"Hey, where's Alice?" I asked noticing my wife hadn't showed up yet.

"She had to go to the bathroom. She should be done soon," Bella answered with a gleam in her eyes.

Just then I felt a pair of arms snake around my waist. Turning around I was met by Alice's heartwarming eyes.

"Hey Darlin'," I whispered bending down to kiss her forehead.

"Hey, how was moving?"

"Good. Edward had a lot of his stuff here anyways. Anything that he didn't need we put into storage until he decides what to do with it," I said.

"I see."

"Hey Ali, can we talk outside for a second?"

"Yeah, sure," she chimed letting go of my body and heading towards the doors leading out to the patio.

"I'll be back," I said setting my beer down on the counter.

"Be strong, Jasper!" Emmett yelled as I walked outside.

Alice was standing out on Bella's patio leaning up against a post. Her hand was rubbing lightly against her belly and she was staring out into the yard.

"Ali," I whispered wrapping my arms around her.

I felt horrible for the past two days. Even if I didn't quite understand where the miscommunication was, I still felt guilty.

"What's up Jasper?" she said softly.

"I'm sorry."

She was silent. Her eyes still fixated out towards the yard.

"I'm sorry if I came off as if I didn't care the other night. Because I really do care Alice, I care about you, about the baby," I paused, "I was just caught off guard with your suggestion."

I stopped in hopes that she might say something, but my hopes were crushed. She remained silent.

"I've been doing a lot of thinking that past two days. I talked to Edward about it too," I admitted. I hoped she wouldn't get upset that I discussed our little fight with the guys.

"And what did he say?" she turned around so she was facing me.

"Nothing too much, he just mentioned he heard it was really good for the baby and the mother."

"I told you." She crossed her arms and rested them on her stomach.

"Alice, darlin'," I took her hands in mine. "If this is what you want then, so be it. I'll do whatever it is that you want. Whatever it is that'll make you happy."

At that moment all the worry that was stashed in my mind melted away with her expression. Her eyes lit up like a little kid on Christmas morning when they see their presents under the tree. Her lips curved into that perfect smile she got when she was genuinely excited about something.

"Oh Jasper, you have no idea how happy that makes me!" she exclaimed throwing her hands around my body and holding me close to her, well as close as she could.

"Forgive me?"

"You're forgiven, Jasper Whitlock," she smiled. "Now, for that nursery…"

I froze.

The nursery. I hope she didn't change our original plan of decorating it AFTER the baby was born. She claimed something about getting a feel for the baby's artistic aura or something like that.

When I first proposed the plan to everyone that was the first question that came to mind, 'What will Alice think?'. However, I knew she would be fine with it. Secretly I found her little stash of decoration ideas. Everything was mapped out. Down to the color of the walls, to the wallpaper, to the little decorations spread across the room. Artistic aura or not, Alice had planned the nursery decorations already.

I wasn't stupid either. Those were the exact details I used when we started to plan and decorate the nursery.

"What about it?"

"We need to start clearing out the guest bedroom for it. My shower is the week after Valentine's Day and we'll need somewhere to store all that stuff."

"I'll talk to the guys. I don't want you moving around all those pieces of heavy furniture. You might hurt yourself," I said stroking the side of her face. "Besides I need to go and make space in storage for all the extra pieces of furniture."

Please buy it, please buy it.

"Okay sounds good!" she stood up on her tip toes and kissed my cheek. "Maybe the day you boys move the heavy furniture around, the girls can make a shopping day out of it. Like today!"

"Whatever makes you happy, Ali," I said.

:D A little Jasper and Alice love for you guys! I've got some great things planned for the coming chapters. So keep your eyes out!
