Both Sides of the Story
Chapter 21
BPOV
I woke up to my dad.
"Bella, sit your ass up now and listen to me!" he snapped as he sat down in the chair next to my bed.
"Dad, it's early." I complained.
"I brought breakfast, so sit there, eat and shut up!" he snapped again.
I sat up and knew better than to argue.
"You listen to me and listen good missy! Jasper is trying to remember what went on. He is in NO WAY responsible for what happened to his memory. You're going to stop being a brat, you're going to do what Carlisle tells you and you're going to get through this shit with Jasper! He needs you now more than ever and you need him! So stop with the damn pity party and grow up! My grandbabies are going to be raised in a happy home! Not 2 broken homes! Do you understand?" he asked gruffly.
I nodded not knowing what to say.
My dad was pissed, that much I knew, but he must really be pissed to take Jasper's side.
"Look Bells, I love you. You're my daughter. You've been miserable for years, then Jasper comes back and you're a little happier, you start seeing each other and you're beyond happy. I want that Bella back! Not this whiny, selfish person in front of me. Do you think you're doing yourself or child any good?" he asked.
"No, I don't. It's put a lot of stress on me. I'm just sick of everyone hiding stuff from me. I deserve to be told the truth. That's all." I sighed.
"Look, look how you acted when you found out the truth! You give the ring back and give up on Jasper when he needs you the most! He wants to be with you, he says he can feel it. So let him be here for you too." he stated.
"O.K., I will." I smiled and hugged my dad.
JPOV
Carlisle came in and told me Charlie had a talk with Bella and she agreed to talk with me and go to therapy.
I was beyond relieved.
I didn't want to fight with her or take our children from her, but damn it, I was upset and hurt.
"Jasper, we're going to schedule the first appointment for tomorrow. But, I'd like for you and Bella to TRY and talk a little today. Can you handle that without upsetting her? Her BP is up and I don't see her making it full term, if she loses her temper again. She'll give birth early and with her still not eating enough, I'm worried about her." Carlisle sighed.
"Yeah, I'll go slow and go along with what she says, mostly. I'll let her lead, basically." I smiled.
"O.K. good. They'll be here with lunch soon, but your bath first and then, after lunch I'll push you to her room." he smiled.
"O.K. Sounds good." I smiled back and felt something positive for once.
I finished my bath and lunch, my mom had brought me gym shorts and t-shirts yesterday, so I'd be more comfortable and I was just waiting on Carlisle.
I had the ring on my chain, hoping I could convince her to wear it again.
"Bella. Hey." I said as I wheeled myself in.
"Hey." she smiled shyly, looking like the old Bella I knew.
"I'll be in my office, if you need anything or get tired, have the nurse page me." Carlisle smiled and walked out.
"Look, I'm sorry for just coming in here the other night. I just had to see you and see if it'd help." I sighed.
"I know and I'm sorry. I'm being very self centered and I wasn't even thinking of all you've been through. I'm so sorry." she started crying.
"Bella, please." I wheeled myself closer and grabbed her hand.
"Jasper, I'm just so scared. I don't want to be alone this time. I want us to be a family and I was so afraid you'd go back to her! If you couldn't remember me." Bella stated.
"I'm so sorry for even bringing her up. Really. But, we need to move past this. We both need to get better, we've got two wonderful children that are going to need us. I'm working hard at rehab, so I can walk again. And of course I want my memories back, but that might take a while. Let's just start with new ones. I know in my heart, that I love you. When Carlisle brought the ring back to me, I lost it after he walked out. I cried all night long. So I know I belong with you, with our children." I stated and kissed her hand.
She reached forward and I leaned closer, giving her a chaste kiss.
"I want this to work Jasper, I really do. I know we can do it." she smiled.
"So, do we know what we're having?" I asked.
"Um, no. I didn't want to know, without you." she shrugged.
"Well, let's call Carlisle and get it set up. I need to know what's cooking in there." I placed my hand on her belly and rubbed it. She smiled brightly.
Carlisle said it was set for tomorrow and he'd be back shortly to get me.
"Jasper, do you think they'd let us share a room. I'd love to talk more and I hate being away from you." Bella asked shyly.
"We can ask. Are you sure you'd be o.k. with that?" I asked nervously.
"I'd love it." she smiled.
Carlisle came in a few minutes later and we asked about sharing a room.
He didn't have any problem with it, as long as Bella stayed calm.
We both promised to be good.
Carlisle said it'd be ready tomorrow.
I hugged Bella good night and told her I'd see her tomorrow.
BPOV
I was so happy to have that talk with Jasper. I knew I had a lot of my own issues to deal with, but maybe being together, he'd remember more quickly.
I also, deep down didn't want to be without him, he calmed me.
And I know it'd do Charlie good to see us working things out.
I was going to do what my dad said and stop being the whiny girl.
I loved Jasper and I was going to fight for him.
