Both Sides of the Story
Chapter 18
JPOV
I'd been listening to these damn messages for two days now and looking at these pictures.
I can't believe that she's actually forgiven me and this is my child.
I need to call Emmett and talk to him, I know he won't beat around the bush and I'll get straight answers from him.
I rang the bell for the nurse and told her I needed to make a call.
She brought a phone in and I dialed the number Carlisle gave me.
"Hello?" Emmett's deep voice answered.
"Em, hey, it's Jasper. I need to talk to you." I sighed.
"Um, O.K., how are you feeling?" he asked.
"I'm in pain, lost a finger and my thigh looks like hamburger meat, I can't remember shit and I just want to go home, wherever the fuck that is!" I snapped at the end.
"Look, I know you're in pain and they filled me in on what's happened. I've never lied to you and I don't intend to start now. But, I can tell you this, if you hurt my sister and leave her, you'll wished you died over there! Got it?" he asked.
"I want to remember! I'm trying. The pictures the voicemails, I just can't believe I'm actually back with her. I mean, I'm in love with Maria, I…" I didn't get to finish because Emmett started screaming.
"Listen you little FUCK! You're NOT with Maria! She FUCKED you over and tried to trick you! She yelled at Charlie and my kids and she put down Bella! She led you on, making you believe she was pregnant!" he shouted.
"What? She was pregnant? Was it mine?" I asked confused.
"Jasper, clean out your FUCKING ears! She was never pregnant! You hired a P.I. and he found out the scoop on her! You realized what a FUCKING idiot you'd been and apologized to Bella! You've been seeing her for a few months, but right before you shipped out, you asked her to marry you! She found out AFTER you left, she was pregnant, but never got the chance to tell you, because you weren't able to be contacted. She's 7 months pregnant and on the verge of being hospitalized because she's worried sick about you! She's not eating well or sleeping and I'm afraid she'll go early." Emmett calmed at the end.
"Wow! I'm really trying to remember Emmett, I am. But, it's all still to fuzzy. These messages are clearly her and she's beautiful in these pictures, but I'm sorry, it's not hitting home." I sighed.
"When do you think you'll be home?" Emmett asked.
"I don't know. I think I find out tonight. Look, dad and Carlisle just walked in, thanks for talking to me. I'll try and work on it." I said, telling him goodbye.
"Jasper. How are you feeling today?" Carlisle asked as he looked at my chart.
"I've got a splitting headache. Emmett just chewed me out and even though I can't remember Bella and I, I'm now worried about her, because of what Emmett told me." I shook my head.
"Jasper, she's not in a good place. She's 7 months and if she's too stressed out, she could deliver early and it could be detrimental to her and the baby." Carlisle sighed.
"Yeah, that's what Em said. So when do I get to go home?" I asked.
"Your doctor will be here in about 30 minutes. From your charts, I'd say you're good to go, but I know the military is different. How's the pain?" he asked.
"My pinkie is O.K., it's strange feeling, not really a pain, like a throb, maybe? But, fuck! My leg hurts big time. Especially when they come in and move it and change the dressing on it." I winced just thinking about it.
"Well, hopefully since you're not critical, they'll let you go. We can get you one on one care and you should be pretty good in a few months." Carlisle smiled.
"Carlisle, I can't stay for months in a hospital, I'll go nuts." I whined.
"I wouldn't make you stay for months. Just until you can get around with a cane or crutches. Then you'd stay with your parents while you finished healing." he shrugged.
"What about my place?" I asked.
"Well, I'm sure we can manage to pack things up and put them in storage. You do know you're being discharged, right? You'll never have full use of your leg again." Carlisle asked carefully.
I sighed "Yeah I know. I guess I wouldn't be able to keep my base housing then." I chuckled.
Just then the doctor walked in.
"Sgt. Whitlock, how are you feeling?" he asked.
"Frustrated. I mean, my leg hurts, but I'm more upset I can't remember my supposed fiancé and my soon to be born child." I was honest.
"Well, if it'll make you feel any better, I think you'll be good to go. It'll be about two days, we have to make arrangements in Forks and get all your paperwork together for discharge." he smiled.
"Thanks, I appreciate that." I shook his hand as he left, Carlisle following behind to get all the information.
BPOV
Edward came by yesterday and took my vitals, he was worried because my BP was up.
So, now I was on fucking bed rest, for the rest of the week.
I'm only allowed to get up for the bathroom and to shower. I can't go downstairs, unless he or Emmett is here to take me and if I go down there, I have to stay until one or the other comes back!
I'm so pissed!
It was nice to have Rose by today, everyone seemed to be in a little better mood, but, Lily has been sick, so I haven't seen her.
I still hadn't been able to talk to Jasper.
They wouldn't tell me anything and that was surely adding to my stress.
I needed to hear his voice, to hear for myself, that he was O.K.
I still didn't know shit about what happened to him or anything, just that he was improving.
"Bella!" Edward snapped his fingers in front of my face.
"What?" I snapped.
"Where'd you go? That scared me." he sighed.
"I was thinking about Jasper. I just want to talk to him, maybe it'll calm me down." I smiled.
"I'll talk to dad tonight and see. O.K.?" he asked.
I smiled and nodded, feeling tired, I slipped down in the bed and went to sleep.
