Army Wives:
Chapter 2- Confidence
BPOV:
Alice and I walked into my house, finding Jasper and Edward sitting on the couch, with beers. Of course…
"Guys! Guess what?" Alice shrieked and sat on Edwards lap.
"What Ali?" Edward asked, wrapping his arms around her.
"Bella is pregnant, and our baby's are only two weeks apart! Ours is older," Alice winked at Edward and he kissed her cheek; but staring at me the entire time.
"You are pregnant Bells?" Jasper asked, and his eyes lit up. I nodded and he got up and hugged me, "This is perfect…" he said kissing my lips. Edward watched as Alice just kept talking. He was watching me.
(One month Later)
Edward has been keeping a close eye on me, but he never left Alice's side. Did he give up? Or did he still love me? What about Alice? I don't want my best friend to get hurt.
"Bella! I found some names on the internet that I like, but Edward said he likes one," Alice said, ambushing me at the Starbucks.
I was sitting outside, sipping a coffee, and Alice ran up to me, and sat down also.
"What are the names Alice?" I asked, pushing her, her coffee. She smiled,
"Okay, for a boy, and I know I'm having a boy, I want Seth Anthony. And if we have a girl, which I know we wont because it's a boy, I want Samantha Grace." Alice said, rambling.
"How do you know it's a boy Alice?" I laughed, she gave me an excited look, "I just know Bella. I'm a mom," She said and she started tearing up. Hormones already…
"Alice, calm down." I comforted and she sniffed and stopped crying. "What about you Bella, names?" She asked hopefully,
"Well, I'm really hoping for a boy, since we have Jaycee and all…So, for a boy I want Christopher Derek, and another girl, maybe…Olivia Mae. Something along those lines…but, Alice! Were two months pregnant! Why are we talking about this now?" I laughed,
She shrugged, "I'm bored and excited?" I laughed, it was true.
"Well, be at my house around five, for Jaycee's party Kay?" I said and she nodded, "Will do,"
I got up and drove home, wanting to see Jasper and Jaycee. I parked in the drive way and walked up the stairs. "Guys?" I yelled, walking in my house.
"Oh, there you are Bells, Jaycee is sleeping, and I'm still setting up the back yard." Jasper said kissing me hello. "Need any help?"
"Naw, I'm almost done. Thanks anyway, Jaycee should be up any minute though," He said walking outside. I sighed and walked into Jaycee's pink room.
"Hey baby girl, happy birthday!" I said seeing Jaycee on her floor playing with toys.
"It my birthday mama." she said excitedly. I nodded, "Yes, it is, now, are you hungry?" I asked and she nodded. I went to the kitchen and cut her up some apples.
The doorbell rang and I went to answer it, "Alice. Edward, early as usual." I laughed. It was only 3:30, and the party was at 5:00.
"Yep. Hey Bells, Jaycee happy birthday sweetheart!" Alice yelled running into the kitchen. She thanked her and went back to eating her apples.
"Edward," I said, and he hugged me. "Bella," He smiled. Damn him…
He walked past me, and I stood there for a second; dazzled. Fuck him for still being able to do that to me…
Edward went in the back yard to talk to Jasper whilst I sat at the table with Alice and Jaycee.
"So, Bells, are you gunna wait to find out the sex of the baby?" I nodded, "I figure why not have a surprise right?" I laughed, and she nodded, "I think we are too. I mean, I really want a boy, but if I get a girl, I'll be happy. As long as she's happy and healthy, I really don't care." She said taking an apple from Jaycee's extended arm, offering her one.
"Well, what if you have twins like Rose?" Alice got a shocked face, "I don't think I could do that! I mean, I love Maribelle and Amelia to death, but twins? I just don't know how they do it…" We laughed. How does Rose and Emmett do it…?
"Rose can do anything!" Rosalie said walking in the door, we smiled and welcomed her. I picked up Jaycee and put her on the floor, and Amelia and Maribelle ran outside with her,
"Where's…?" Emmett asked and I pointed, "Back yard."
"Thanks Bells," Emmett said going outside, but first grabbing a beer from the fridge. I rolled my eyes. "Emmett…" I mumbled. He would be drinking at my two year olds birthday party…
"How are we going to live without them for a year…?" Rosalie asked laughing, I just felt my heart ache.
Five o'clock rolled around quickly and the party began. The whole family was there, and we had a great time.
"Jaycee, cake time!" I yelled and she ran over to us. Jasper sat with her, her on his lap, and they blew out the candles together. He kissed her forehead and whispered happy birthday. I knew he would miss her next one…
The party ended quickly and everyone went home. I put Jaycee to bed after a crazy day, and a tiring night. I laid her in her bed and kissed her cheek. "Night princess," I said, taking the crown off her head, and on her shelf.
I sighed and walked out into the living room, were Jasper was reading a book.
"She asleep?" He asked and I nodded, and cuddled up to him. "Will you be here for when the baby comes?" I asked quietly. "I'm not leaving until next October Bella. It's only March. Of course I will," He kissed my forehead.
"Why did Edward and Emmett sign up, and not be called in until now?"
He pursed his lips and shrugged, "Well, they were idiots in high school, and wanted to be like me, so they did it. They were called in as back up, they didn't need them until now."
"Seven years later?" I asked confused.
He sighed, "I don't really know. The military is confusing." He laughed, and kissed me.
"I'm going to miss you…What if you have to leave for more than a year?" I asked, and he sighed. "That…would kill me." He whispered, "But, I have to do it."
"This is over a year away Bella, calm down okay 'darlin? It's not good for the baby," He smiled and I nodded. Than the baby kicked, I gasped, and smiled.
"What?" Jasper asked. I grabbed his hand and put it on my small stomach. The baby kicked again, and he smiled.
"Alice told me what you wanted to name him," He smiled again,
"Do you like it?" I asked, hopeful.
He nodded, "I love Christopher for a boy. I hope we have a boy," He said and Christopher kicked once again…
