If I Fell
Chapter 8
"Alice, is this really necessary?" I asked as she did my hair in an intricate up do.
"Bella, of course! You want to be comfortable and look good." She squeezed my shoulder.
"He probably won't even show up. I don't blame him." I sighed.
"Then it's his loss!" she nodded her head, trying to get me to smile.
We finished getting ready and headed over to my brothers.
Rose and Emmett were there already and I groaned.
I hadn't talked to them since this mess started and I felt bad, I'd also ignored Renee as much as possible, she was being too motherly.
We walk into the house and into the backyard.
I was grabbed into a tight hug by my brother and then Renee.
"Hey Tot!" Charlie hugged Alice and called her his annoying nickname.
"Hello Charles." She replied with a quirk of the eye and he backed off.
I turned to speak to Rose and Emmett, only for Rose to give me the bitch brow and walk into the house.
Emmett nodded his head for me to follow her and I excused myself from everyone.
"How could you just walk away from him like she did?" Rose rounded on me as soon as I entered the kitchen.
"Look Rose, I know you're protective of your brother and I appreciate that, but this is between Carlisle and me. If it's meant to be, it'll work out. If not then we'll have shared custody." I shrugged.
"Do not get smug with me! This is my brother we're talking about! You broke his fucking heart!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Don't you think I fucking know this Rose? I've already apologized to him! He didn't want to hear it and told me to get out of his office." I snapped back.
"If it weren't for you carrying his child, I'd punch the shit out of you." She growled and was in my face yelling again until she was pulled away, kicking and screaming.
"Sis, I appreciate that you want the best for me." Carlisle was holding her back. "But it's none of your concern."
"Carlisle…" she started but he shoved her out of the kitchen, following her close behind. I reached out to touch him and he yanked his arm away.
I sat down at the kitchen table, put my head down and cried.
"Hey, come to the guestroom." Renee helped me up.
"Sorry for ruining your day." I sniffled.
"Nonsense!" she scoffed. "Lay down and relax. I'll be back in a few, rest." She patted my shoulder and walked out.
I laid down on the bed and cried myself to sleep, only to be woken up by 2 whispering voices.
"Alice? Jasper?" I sat up groggily.
"Hey darlin', you feeling OK?" Jasper walked over and sat beside me.
"Yeah, a little headache and I'm starving." I shook my head.
"I'll go get your plate." Alice stood up.
"I'd rather just go into the kitchen, unless everyone is still here." I hedged.
"No, they're long gone. Lunch was tense, but you know Renee, always the optimistic one." Jasper smiled.
I nodded and got up.
"I'll meet y'all in the kitchen." I smiled and headed towards the bathroom.
When I walked out Alice was standing there like the bird that ate the canary.
"What Alice?" I asked.
"WOW! Why didn't you tell me that fine piece of man was going to be here." She fanned herself.
"Because you would've went over the edge and stressed out. Jasper is a simple laid back guy." I shrugged.
"He asked me out." She was vibrating in her spot.
"Alice, just be careful. He likes women, if you know what I mean. He's got quite the calling card." I smiled.
"No, he's the one. I just know it. He'll see after tonight." She stood tall. Well tallish, this is Alice after all.
"Just be yourself." I grabbed her and pulled her to the kitchen.
"Feel better sweetie. I've got some work to do before tonight." Jasper winked at Alice and then kissed my forehead, Alice walked him out.
"Are you sure you'll be OK?" Alice asked for the Jasper arrived and made sue I was OK, even bringing me my favorite ice cream, he was such a great friend. I hope these two hit it off.
After they left I grabbed a spoon, turned on the television and plopped down on the couch with my ice cream.
I don't know how much time passed, not much I know because I was still eating ice cream, but there was a knock at my door.
"Really Alice? You're that easy?" I yelled s I walked to the door.
"Hi!" It was Carlisle. "What are you eating?" he snapped.
"Ice cream." I held it against my chest.
He walked in my door, took the spoon and ice cream and walked into my kitchen.
"You really need to eat better." He sighed and shook his head. "You didn't even eat at your brothers today." He stated.
"Yes I did. I ate when I woke up. What concern is it of yours anyway?" I questioned.
"This! This is my concern!" he raised his voice and placed his hand on my stomach. "I can't forgive you for running, not yet. But I will make sure you take care of yourself and not self-destruct or something.
"Self-destruct?" I looked at him.
"Yes, not doing anything stupid, taking care of yourself and our child you're carrying." He sighed.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to jeopardize my baby." I placed my hands on my stomach.
"Our baby." He corrected.
"Why are you here Carlisle? If you're just going to be snarky, I don't need it." I shook my head.
"I'm not trying to be snarky. But, you make it impossible to stay mad at. You're beautiful and I just want to do this." He pulled me close to his chest and kissed me, hard. I melted into his kiss and as he pulled away he looked into my eyes. "I'm so sorry this got all blown out of proportion. I was just so hurt and devastated when you left. You did what we agreed not to do." He shook his head as it leaned against my forehead.
"I'm sorry. I mistook your tiredness for rejection. Please, don't throw away what we have because I made a horrible hormone decision." I cried.
"Shhhhh, we'll work this out. I want you, us, our family." He pulled me closer, picking me up and carrying me to my room. We made love all night long.
That was the best sex we'd ever had. It was dripping of our love for one another. No one could mistake how in love we were.
