I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT!

Chapter 56

(Jasper)

I reached over and grabbed Ali's hand as we drove home. The doctors made her stay a week after she woke up to make sure she was okay and didn't have any lasting effects from the accident or coma.

"I'm so glad to be going home," She said softly. "I don't know if I could stand that hospital food another day."

I laughed. "I tried to sneak you food, I just always got caught."

She laughed. "I know and thank you for trying."

Alice was doing really well, all things considered. The first couple of days were spent with me holding her as she cried over the loss of our baby. Then, she hit a phase where she seemed to hate everything and everyone. She snapped at the doctors and nurses and yelled at me. The only one she didn't yell at was dad and I think it was because she knew he would sedate her if she got too angry at him.

I pulled into the driveway and saw a tear slip down her cheek. "Want to talk about it?" I asked.

"Are you going to ask me that every time I cry?" She asked.

The hospital had brought in a therapist to talk to her, it pissed her off at first, but after talking to her a couple times, it seemed to help. I talked to her myself and she helped me know how to talk to Ali.

"I might," I said smiling.

She rolled her eyes, but smiled back. "It just doesn't seem like anything has changed, yet a lot has."

"I know," I said.

Alice played with the zipper on her coat. "What?" I asked.

"Do you still want to have a baby?" She asked softly.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Losing this baby, it didn't change your mind on future kids did it?"

"I hadn't really thought about it I guess. I guess I was waiting to see what you thought," I said.

"I still want to have kids," She said.

I got out of the car and walked around to her side opening her door. I took her hands and pulled her out of the car. "Ali, if you want kids, I'll give you as many as you want."

"Really," She whispered as tears started falling down her cheeks.

I really wanted to pick her up and carry her into the house, but I couldn't. "Let's go inside," I suggested, wrapping my arms around her.

We got into the house and in our room. I gently helped her undress, her bruises were fading and some were barely visible, but the one on her stomach was still pretty nasty looking. I wanted her run her hand over it and her chin quivered. I pulled her into my arms and held her close to me. "It's going to be alright Ali."

"I know," She whispered sitting down on the bed. "It still hits me."

"It does me too."

Alice yawned. "Why don't we get some rest," I suggested.

We curled up under the covers. "I've always loved this bed, but I think I love it a whole lot more now," She sighed curling up against me.

"I've missed this," I said kissing her.

"How is Matt?" She asked.

"He's doing okay," I assured her.

"I miss him," She said softly.

"Maybe we can go over and see them tomorrow."

"Do you think she's still going to want me to help plan her wedding?"

I rolled over to face her. "Alice, why wouldn't she?"

Tears filled her eyes. "I haven't seen her and Edward since the day after I woke up and I haven't seen Matt since before the accident." Tears spilled down her cheeks.

"Baby, don't cry. I don't think it's personal, I just think they have been spending time with Matt. I haven't talked to them mucheither, but dad has and Matt isn't sleeping well and has nighmares."

"Oh," She said softly.

"As far as helping plan her wedding, I think she'd be hurt if she knew you were questioning that."

"I guess you're right," She said softly.

"I always am," I whispered leaning over to kiss her. "And tomorrow maybe we can go over and see them."

"Um, does Matt know?"

"About the baby," I asked. She nodded slightly. "Yes, Edward told him. He was really sad, but was more worried about you."

"I hope he will still spend the night with us."

"Ali, our relationship with Matt wont change," I said.

"Then why does it feel like everything has changed?"

"We went through a traumatic experience Ali, it changed us all, but not for the worst."

As soon as Ali was asleep, I slipped out of bed and went into the kitchen to make a grocery list. I opened up the freezer and realized that someone had stocked it. There was several premade meals and other food in there.

I grabbed my phone. Mom, thank you for all the food-J

It wasn't me, it was Rose and Bella, they went shopping, the three of us cooked though.-mom

I quickly dialed Bella's number. "Hello," She answered.

"Hey Jasper, how are you guys doing?"

"I got Ali home and she's asleep now. I just wanted to call and tell you thank you for the food."

"Jasper, you're welcome. Rose and I wanted to do something to help. Is Ali okay?"

"Her moods swing. One minute she's happy and the next minute she's afraid that everything has changed."

"What do you mean?" Bella asked.

"I think it's just the shock of everything she's been through."

"I'd love to come over and see her," Bella said.

"She'd love that," I said.

(Bella)

I parked behind Jasper's new car and got out. Since Alice was home, things were starting to return to normal. Edward and I went back work and Matt had gone back to school. My parents had gone home and Carlisle and Esme had come home. I missed my parents and was really glad to see Esme and Carlisle, but I was ready to move into our home.

Jasper opened the door. "Welcome Bella."

"Hey," I said.

"Who is it?" I heard Alice ask.

I stepped in and saw Alice standing in the living room. She was thinner and had dark circles under her eyes, but she still looked the same.

"Bella," She gasped.

I walked over and pulled her into a tight hug. "I've missed you."

"I've missed you too," She cried.

"How are you doing?" I asked.

"I feel like I've lost everything, when I've only lost my baby."

"I'm so sorry, Alice."

"Is Matt okay?"

I knew in that moment what Jasper had meant earlier that her moods would swing around. "Matt's fine, he's still not really sleeping well, but he's okay."

"Where is he?" She asked.

"I wanted to come alone to see you. I left Edward with the kids."

I took her hand and led her over to the couch. "I'm so glad you are home."

"Me too," She sighed. "Um, do you still want me to help with the wedding?"

"Of course, I need all the help I can get," I said.

"Yes, you do need help," She laughed.

It was good to hear her laugh. "That's why I asked you."

"Did you guys get moved?" Alice asked.

"No, we put everything on hold. We wanted to know you were okay first."

"I don't know when I'll be okay, but I'm getting there," She said. "So was the party fun that night?"

I hesitated. "We didn't have the party. Dad got called out and I went to put Jaycie down. I was walking out of the room when I heard there'd been an accident. We got to the hospital and found out it was the three of you, it was awful."

"I don't really remember being in the car that night."

"Dad said he couldn't get you out, he tried."

"Your dad was there?" She asked.

I nodded. "He came up on it before the ambulance got there."

"Damn," She muttered. "That must have been awful."

"It was, I don't think he's sleeping much either."

"Maybe we can get you moved into your new house and have a party to celebrate," She said changing the subject.

"That would be fun, but maybe the first night we are in the house, you could keep both kids here for the night."

"Are you serious? Jaycie would get to stay to?"

"Yes," I laughed.

"I'd love that," She said.

I pulled her into a hug. "I'm so glad you are home."

"Me too," She sighed. "After you get moved, we should all go look for your wedding dress."

"Yes," I said. "It's time."

"Bella, it's been time since the moment you two met," She said.

I rolled my eyes and laughed.
