Both Sides of the Story

Chapter 22

JPOV

We had our first counseling session.

It was different than what I had envisioned.

Bella tried to keep her cool, but it got out of control a couple of times and we had to take a break.

The one question that set her off first was "So Bella, I know you were upset when you first found out that Jasper asked about Maria, instead of you. How do you feel now?" the therapist asked.

I mentally face palmed, because she'd never been told that.

Bella had just assumed I would go back to Maria, since I couldn't remember her.

"What? What the hell are you talking about? I was never fucking told her asked for her specifically!" Bella snapped and looked at me with daggers.

"Well, maybe I misunderstood what they told me." the therapist replied quickly.

"I don't think so! What the fuck Jasper? I thought no more secrets!" she snapped at me.

"Bells, look, I'm sorry. I didn't realize, it was when Carlisle and my dad first came into the hospital and I asked for her. They hadn't even said anything about you yet." I tried to soothe her.

She took a deep breath and a drink of water.

"Look, I want to move past all this. All I want to focus on is us. We need to help you remember and that's that." Bella smiled a small smile.

"Bella, Jasper, wiping away what happened in the past isn't going to improve your future. Like, what about your relationship to Dr. Cullen?" she asked.

"What? Carlisle? He's like a second-." the therapist held up her hand to stop Bella.

"No, I mean Dr. Edward Cullen." she smirked.

"Edward? Oh, pffttt… he's my best friend! Always has been. He was there for me the entire time Jasper was gone, even before Jasper and I were back together. Jasper has known all along that Edward and I are close. If anyone is delusional enough to think we'd have any type of relationship other than friends, they're crazy!" Bella smiled.

"Exactly. Edward helped Bella when I couldn't. They were close and talked everyday, even when he was at college. And I could only hope, that if something were to ever happen to me, he'd step up and help her again." I spoke to the therapist in a sharp tone.

"Well, there are whispers around the hospital, he's in here everyday with her for breakfast, lunch and dinner and sometimes late into the night." the therapist smirked.

I saw Bella's face go red and I knew the therapist was in for it.

"Look, Dr. Jane! I could care less what the fucking hospital is a buzz about! Edward is a friend, just because he doesn't want to fuck you, doesn't mean he's fucking me! Now get the fuck out!" Bella shouted.

The therapist was about to argue.

"Look, I think you should go." I spoke quietly.

She picked up her things and left, a sneer on her face.

I paged Carlisle who was there in 2 seconds.

"Carlisle, thanks for coming. I don't think we need Dr. Jane. Someone else maybe, but not her." I spoke confidently.

"Bella are you o.k.?" he walked over to her.

"Yeah, but that bitch just stepped over the line. I want to file a complaint against her." Bella sighed.

"I'll send in someone to take your statement. Don't tell me now, I don't want them to think I'm biased." he smiled and Bella nodded.

"Jasper, they'll be in with your stuff shortly and then after lunch, you'll have the ultrasound." Carlisle smiled.

"Thanks so much Carlisle. For everything." I shook his hand.

"Oh, Jasper, therapy will resume tomorrow morning after breakfast. We're going to take you to the OT room to work with you. And once your stitches are healed we're getting you in the pool, that'll help a lot more." Carlisle smiled.

"Thanks again." Bella smiled as he walked out.

BPOV

I wanted to rip Dr. Jane's bun right off her fucking head!

I can't believe she tried that shit on us.

I will be filing a complaint and letting Edward know.

I was happy I controlled myself with Jasper here, he makes it easier.

I'm so glad he'll be here with me from now on and I can't wait to find out what we're having.

I know Lily, Sue and Esme were all wanting to know.

They wanted to buy 'real' clothes as they said.

So, after today, we'd be able to tell them.

Lunch is here, thank goodness, I am starving!

"Bells, you ready?" I guess I dozed off after lunch and Jasper said they were here to take us for the ultrasound.

I nodded and the orderly came over to help me into the wheelchair.

I winced a little getting up and I could see the panic on Jasper's face.

"Sorry, I just haven't moved much, except for the bathroom." I reassured him.

"As long as you're o.k." he smiled and I nodded.

The second orderly pushed him and we made our way down to the ultrasound.

"Bella, I'm so happy to see you again." my friend Angela was the tech and we knew each other from school.

"I can't believe it's you Jasper." she walked over and gave him a small hug, he looked confused.

"It's me Angela? I dated Ben in high school?" she smiled.

"Shit. Where's your hair?" he asked.

Angela always had long straight hair in school, to her ass.

"Well, with 2 sets of twin, one set at 2 and the other at 5 and then a 7 year old, short hair is so much easier." she smiled.

"Wow. You and Ben have been busy." he smiled and she agreed.

"O.K., are you ready mommy?" she asked.

I nodded and climbed on the bed.

She did all the normal stuff and Jasper smiled like a fool when he heard the heartbeat.

"O.K., all the fingers and toes, the head, eyes, spine, all look good. And you're going to have a girl." she smiled at us.

"A g-girl." Jasper stuttered.

"Yep." she smiled.

"Oh, hell, I'm in trouble now." Jasper sighed, but had a goofy grin on his face.

I just smiled, I had been thinking all along it was a girl, but now I was sure.

"Thanks Ang I appreciate it. Can we get like 7 copies sent to our room?" I asked.

"Yep, I'll have them there with in the hour." she smiled and hugged me once more.

The orderlies took us back to the room and Jasper's stuff was all set up.

"Babe, you get a nap, before everyone comes and bugs us. O.K.?" he asked.

"Sounds good." I smiled and hummed as he kissed my lips.

"Jasper?" I asked and he stopped and turned around in his chair.

"Yeah?" he asked.

"Thanks for sticking with me. I'm so sorry I was a bitch to you. I- I just was so afraid I'd lose you and to lose you twice to her. That would have killed me." I said honestly.

"Babe, you have nothing to worry about. I'm yours forever." Jasper smiled and kissed my forehead, before I drifted off to sleep.
