Both Sides of the Story
Chapter 24
BPOV
It'd been a week, since I started dilating and Carlisle told Jasper and I that he was going to have to induce me, because my blood pressure was getting to risky, even though I'd stayed calm, just the added stress on my body wasn't good.
Jasper and I agreed it was for the best.
I was scared and nervous, just as Jasper was, but also anxious.
I was ready to get home, I felt bad for Charlie, he was going back and forth with the grandparents and even Jake a few times, but I know he missed me as much as I missed him and he was excited to meet his baby sister as well.
Jasper was doing great in therapy.
He was practicing walking with crutches, the kind that wrap around your arms, so he could have a little more leverage and put a little more weight on his bad leg.
He was determined to stand while I gave birth.
And he wanted to come home when the baby and I did.
Carlisle and Edward already had nurses and nannies lined up to help us, not to mention all our parents.
"Bells, you O.K.?" Jasper asked after Carlisle started me on the pitocin .
"Yeah, just nervous. I can't wait to meet our daughter." I smiled and he hugged me.
"Get some rest, it could take a while, you'll be to tired, if you don't." he kissed my forehead and snuggled with me.
A while later, I woke up screaming as a pain shot through me.
"Bells, what, what's wrong?" Jasper asked groggily.
"It's time." I squeezed his hand and he pushed the button.
Carlisle and Edward came running in and helped Jasper to his crutches.
"We'll take you two to a birthing room, where you'll stay, until ready to go." Carlisle smiled.
Edward helped Jasper to his chair, since it was a few floors up and reassured us that all our belongings would be brought right up and that the family was being called as we spoke.
After 4 hours of labor, I was exhausted, not to mention really grumpy.
"I just want to sleep." I cried into Jasper's shoulder.
He ran his fingers lightly over my back and told me to rest a few minutes.
He'd taken to sitting behind me on the bed, his leg was hurting him.
I was just starting to relax, when another sharp pain hit and I screamed again.
"Bella, you've really got to push now, I can see he head." Edward smiled.
Jasper helped me through it and 20 minutes later, we were greeted with the sight of our beautiful baby girl.
They took her to clean up and do all the normal tests on, while they cleaned me up and Jasper went to shower quickly.
When I awoke, my room was filled with pink balloons and flowers.
Jasper was sitting in the rocking chair beside my bed, cooing to our daughter.
"Jasper." I smiled.
"Hey, look, mommy is awake." he smiled at Violet and handed her to me.
"Where is everyone?" I asked.
"Well, you've been out for over 5 hours, Carlisle made them leave and told them they could come back tomorrow." he smiled and stood up to kiss me.
~~~Six Months Later~~~
"Charlie! Come here please." I said totally pissed.
"What mom?" he asked.
"What is up with your room?" I snapped.
Ever since we'd gotten 'back to normal', he's been moody and mouthy.
"Nothing. It looks like it always does." he shrugged.
"Look, clean it NOW or lose your entire weekend." I snapped.
"What? You can't do that!" he yelled back.
At that moment, the front door closed.
"Bells, you here?" Jasper called.
"Up here babe." I yelled back.
I heard jasper and his cane thumping up the stairs, the man amazed me. He went to therapy everyday and he had a workout room put in the basement, so he could continue when he got home.
He'd healed fast and even gotten a few memories back.
He kissed my cheek and frowned at where I was looking.
"Damn it Charlie! Your mom told you to clean this last week. You're grounded for the weekend." Jasper snapped.
"What? Mom just said if I cleaned it, I could still go." he yelled back.
"Look, you're 11 now and this mouth thing is going to stop! Every week or so, it's the same fight! You'll be missing your football game this weekend as well as your trip with Jake! Clean up this mess NOW!" Jasper lost it.
Charlie turned to his room and slammed and locked the door.
I leaned against the wall and sighed.
"I'm sorry baby. But, damn it, his mouth is going to get him into so much trouble." Jasper hugged me.
"I'm just glad that Violet can sleep through anything." I laughed and hugged him back.
"I know. She's an angel." he kissed my temple and led me downstairs.
JPOV
Charlie has been getting so mouthy lately, all I ever do is argue with him and then he'll cry to Bella or his grandparents.
Luckily, they don't give him much sympathy.
They told him he was like the two of us growing up and we'd all live through it, but it'd be much better if he just did what he was suppose to do, but having Bella's stubborn streak, he didn't.
"What's on your mind?" Bella asked as she handed me a beer.
"Just thinking about us. I want us to get married soon Bella. I still feel like a stranger living here. I want to feel complete." I smiled at her.
"Well, let's set a date then." she kissed my cheek and smiled, she'd just made me the happiest man in the world, for the third time.

I finally got a few minutes of downtime to update and hopefully I will again this week.
It might be short chapters, but it'll be at least something.
Thanks for hanging in there…
I'm wanting to start my new story too…
