Both Sides of the Story

Chapter 17

BPOV

Carlisle and Lee had been gone for two weeks now and all I'd heard was that Jasper was wounded.

I was never told WHAT, but it must have been bad, if they were keeping it from me and Lily was a nervous wreck around me. Esme would get a little nervous when I'd ask her questions too.

I was trying to remain calm and not stress, I really wanted Jasper here when I gave birth.

At 7 months, it was too early for our baby to come.

I didn't even know the sex, because Jasper wasn't here, Sue, Lily and Esme had the nursery done, it was all yellows and greens, as were all the clothes I had so far.

I was currently sitting in the nursery, holding a picture of Charlie and Jasper and crying.

"Bella, would you like some lunch dear?" Esme asked.

I looked up and dried my eyes.

"Yes, please, I'll be right down." I smiled at her and headed down.

Lunch was quiet, Esme was busy knitting and I just nibbled on my food.

"Bella, you need to eat more. It's not good for the baby." she smiled at me.

"I know, it's just so frustrating. I can't help but think that Jasper will miss this one." I rubbed my belly.

"Bella, he was here for Charlie, he'll be here for this. I know you're worries, because he'll be finding out from Carlisle and Lee, but everything will work out. I know they will." Esme hugged me.

CPOV

We'd been here for two weeks and Jasper was healing fast, physically, that is.

He'd talked to his mom on the phone and Rose and Rose actually went off on him, when he denied Bella.

She told him that he was being an ass.

Maria had tricked him and he'd confronted her, only to find out she'd been shacking up with another guy and lied about everything.

Jasper wanted her number, because his 'old number' for her was disconnected.

Rose gave him a 'DUH', because she's living with another man and no one knew it.

She told him he'd better 'get that fucking brain working' or she was flying to Germany and kicking his ass.

Jasper, always listened to Rose and said he'd work harder to remember.

We'd find out this afternoon, if Jasper would be able to come home soon.

We were currently listening to phone messages, from his cell phone.

Lily had retrieved it from Bella's, as he'd left it there, since he had a separate one for work.

The first message was a simple one, but before they were engaged.

"Jasper, I'm sorry that Maria screwed you over, but you need to figure out what you really want. Charlie and I can't keep being your yo-yo's. I've waited for you, forever and I don't know how much longer I can wait. Bella"

The second one.

"Jasper. Thank you for the wonderful dinner.

I do hope we can do this again. Bella"

Third one.

"Jasper, thanks for helping me through.

Although I'm mortified that you saw me naked, I did have words with your mom about that, by the way, I'm glad it was you.

You're the only one who's ever seen me like that. I can't thank you enough, really. And thank you for telling me how you feel. I will always love you too. Bella"

Jasper was crying after that one.

"I remember her being sick now. But, I can't remember tell her that I love her or proposing or being with her!" he was frustrated.

"Jasper, it's o.k. you've remember something small. That's a start." I let him know.

'Yeah, but I want to remember. If I'm engaged to her, I want to know! I don't want to be with someone who doesn't love me back." he scrubbed his face.

"I understand Jasper, really. Maybe going back to Forks will help. We'll put you up in the hospital to finish healing and Edward and I will be taking good care of you. As well as some of the top physical therapist around." I patted his shoulder.

"O.K., maybe it will help." he sighed.

"Son, you've got to look at the pictures and listen to these messages, maybe they'll help you remember. Shit, maybe you should even talk to Emmett. You know he's going to give it to you straight." Lee smiled.

"Yeah, your right. I'll call him later." Jasper chuckled.

I felt good, I knew we'd had a breakthrough, no matter how tiny.
