A/N – I know this is short and stuff, but it's basically a little explanation as to what is going on – if your question doesn't get answered, leave me a review and I'll try to get you a quick reply. I know it's a shock that it's a human baby – but the whole point is to create mystery, and leave questions that will be answered. Thanks for all reading and reviewing!

Teaser - "But he said I have to be alone, as punishment for turning Jasper into a… what were his exact words… a nervous, shivering, depressed, wretched excuse for a vampire."

--

"Jazz… I mean, Jasper, Edward said the baby was meant to go to you and Bella… ya know, after he died and stuff." Alice explained.

"What?" Jasper growled again.

"I'm only here to give you the baby… and then I have to leave again." Alice said slowly, speaking to Jasper as if he was an idiot. "I am not meant to be here, but this is your baby now. Not Edward's. Not mine."

--

Alice bowed her head as Carlisle glared at her. Esme was still gently rocking the small baby to and fro in her arms. Bella had rushed from the house sobbing, and Jasper had made to go after her but was stopped by Alice.

"No Jasper. Stay here." Alice had said as Jasper left his seat.

The baby did look like Edward – no matter how impossible it seemed it did have his bronze hair, sticking from all angles of the baby's small head. Its small piercing blue eyes must have been inherited from his human mother, as they were not of Edward.

"Alice. His human mother?" Carlisle said sourly, the disappointment in Alice and Edward burning through his voice.

"Dead." Alice said simply, without emotion. "She was killed in a car crash, and this little one survived. It was magical, Carlisle. I had been looking for him since I left this family, and then I came across him in the nick of time."

"Okay…" Carlisle exhaled. "How did you know where to be?"

"My power." Alice stated matter-of-factly.

"How did you know he is Edwards?" Carlisle asked, sliding his fingers through his tussled blonde hair.

"Well, Edward told me – ya know, before he died." She said almost cheerfully, her bell-like voice showing no sign of sadness. "He only slept with the human girl because he wanted to kill her, but he couldn't bring himself to do it after she'd made love to him."

"Alice, you do realise that means he cheated on you and Bella?" Jasper interrupted.

"Yeah." Alice said.

"Aren't you angry?" He asked, his hands tightening on the back of the leather sofa – Esme rubbed his knee softly, willing him to stay calm.

"Not really." Alice laughed slowly. "I mean, I loved him."

"And Bella loved him." Jasper growled.

"But now you love Bella, and she loves you. Happy little family, Jasper. Don't pretend you hate me for leaving you – you ended up with a good deal out of it." She said acidly, staring up at her ex-lover with daggers in her eyes.

"Shut up!" Jasper yelled.

Rosalie grabbed Jasper by the collar of his shirt and led him from the room, knowing that he desperately needed time away from the evil little madam sitting in the living room.

"Carlisle, Edward did tell me that the baby had to go to Bella." Alice said after Jasper and Rosalie were safely out of earshot.

"Did he explain?" Carlisle asked. "I mean, he must have known Bella was going to be absolutely heart-broken."

"No, he didn't explain." Alice huffed. "Well, he knew that Bella was going to get turned into a vampire sometime in the near future, and that if he made her pregnant, she would potentially lose the baby when she turned… So I guess, just throwing it out here, that Edward wanted Bella to have a baby."

Carlisle glared at his adopted daughter again. Wondering how much hurt she could possibly inflict on his family. All the pain that Jasper and Bella had been through had been finally disappearing, but now, all the wounds had been torn back open.

"Don't you want the kid?" Esme asked Alice suddenly.

"No." Alice groaned, shaking her head. "He said it wasn't for me."

"Well, he's not here, is he?" Esme said, not taking her eyes off of the small child that was now asleep in her arms. "And it is going to be a matter of whether Bella wants to keep him; it's all up to her… But if you want him, take him."

"No." Alice said again. "He is not my baby. Edward said he is for Bella and Jasper."

Esme thought for a second.

"So Edward knew that Jasper and Bella would be together?" Esme asked.

"Yes." Alice groaned. "He knew."

"And that's why he had affairs?" She asked.

"No, you don't understand… he loved me, Esme. He loved Bella too, but he still loved me." Alice said, pulling at her hair. "He wanted Bella to support Jasper, and he wanted Jasper to love her."

"Okay…" Esme prompted as Alice fell silent.

"But he said I have to be alone, as punishment for turning Jasper into a… what were his exact words… a nervous, shivering, depressed, wretched excuse for a vampire." Alice said, almost a whisper.

--

"Why does he smell like Bella?" Jasper asked Rosalie, as she kept her hands firmly around his shoulders. He wasn't struggling, and she knew he was calm – but this wasn't a time to take chances.

"Hmm, I noticed that too, Jasper." Rosalie said thoughtfully. "It has her kind of scent that she had when she was human…"

"I know that." Jasper snapped, before ducking his head in shame.

"But it stopped you from wanting to taste the baby's blood, didn't it?" She asked him, ignoring the anger in his tone.

"Yes." He admitted. "As soon as I smelt her, I didn't want to drink from him."

--

"I can't believe him!" Bella yelled into Emmett's chest. Her hands wrapped around his waist so tight that it was actually uncomfortable for him. "I can't believe he cheated on me twice!"

"I know, Bells." Emmett said.

"Why did he do it?!" She shouted.

"Because it's Edward… the idiot… god, I wish he was still alive so that I could rip him apart for hurting you and Jasper so much…" Emmett said his voice swelling with emotion.

"I would kill him first, believe me!" Bella snarled.

"I believe you, Bells. I really do." Emmett said, rubbing his sister's back as her grip got tighter around him.

"Why did he think I wanted a baby?" She shouted. "It's not even as if it's mine! He slept with another human, not just with Alice… argh, I hate him, I really do."
