"You gonna be ok?" Alice asks, waddling up to me. She's been ordered to bed rest, strictly, but she seems to be making an exception.

Good thing Jasper is working late or she'd be in a world of fucking trouble from that one. Madly in love, he is.

I quirk an eyebrow as she wraps her arms around me, "I think I'll be ok. You, on the other hand…"

"I know, I know," she says petulantly. "I'm going."

I smile. "You better… don't make me call Jasper."

"And if Bella doesn't call him, then I will," Edward says from behind us, slowly and caringly and Alice smiles.

"He's a keeper," she says, and I'm thinking…

Yeah… I know.


I'm seriously tossing up in regards to giving you the next chapter... it's gonna be pretty angsty for a while if I do and I'm gonna need to stop sooner rather than later. :D

Let me know what you think.

Please review
