BPOV
I woke up to the smell of Bacon and eggs causing my stomach to do flips with nausea but it also smelt delicious. I sat up to head to the bathroom gasping as I remembered what happened last night, I fucked Edward. Shit I fucked Edward! Not daring to move too quickly I got up slowly and noticed some Tylenol and a glass of water Alice must have placed on the bedside table, which I was extremely grateful for. I went in to the adjoining onsuite to wash my face and brush my teeth and got dressed into the clothes Alice had left me; I took a deep breath ready to head downstairs. I wished I could hide up here until I knew he had left but I couldn't, part of me hoped he wouldn't be down there that he'd already left but deep down I knew better, Alice will have cooked her usual group breakfast for us to all sit down together not taking no for an answer.
"Morning Bella, How are you feeling?" Alice asked as I stepped into the kitchen.
"Morning Alice." I mumbled giving her a half smile " I've felt better, Thanks for the Tylenol and clothes by the way."
"No problem I thought you might need them, why don't you go join the others, breakfast is almost ready." She said smiling sweetly at me.
I nodded returning the smile and took another deep breath as I entered the dining room.
"Hey, look who it is, you couldn't resist the smell of Alice's cooking either?" Emmett boomed.
"Jesus Em could you tone it down a bit?" His loud voice causing me to wince at the thump it caused in my head.
"Sorry B. Feeling a little rough I take it." He said chuckling.
I groaned placing my forehead on the cold surface of the table in response.
"It's not just you Bella, Em here refused to leave the bedroom until he could smell food, and Edward looks like he's dying of a terminal disease this morning and I’m about ready to hurl." Rose said as i lifted my head to look at Edward, Did he really look that bad?
The answer was yes he did, his head was leaning into his hand as he glared at Rose and he had big dark circles under his eyes. His clothes had just been thrown on and I noticed one of his buttons wasn't done up right on his shirt.
Just as he looked up to see me staring at him Alice walked in announcing breakfast was ready.
"Emmett make sure you leave enough for everyone else" Alice chided because Emmett had already started eating before she had managed to place everything on the table.
"Where's Jasper?" I asked noticing he wasn't here.
"Oh, he went out to get some juice, he should be back any minute." She half smiled and shrugged.
A few minutes later and Jasper returned with the juice and we all enjoyed our pancakes, bacon and eggs, there wasn't much conversation but it was a comfortable silence. I started to drift off in to my own thoughts of last night thinking about the way his hand traveled up my thigh, the way his hot breath felt against my skin, his long fingers as they dipped inside me. Once again before I realized what I was doing I muttered 'ah fuck me' to myself as I shifted in my seat from the throbbing between my legs, making everybody suddenly snap there heads towards me.
"You okay there darin'? " Jasper asked on behalf of the table.
"Err yeah sorry, I guess I got lost in my thoughts." I said glancing at Edward who just smirked at me probably remembering what happened last time I accidentally said fuck me out loud.
I got up to start clearing the dishes.
"Do you need us to help you with that before we go B?"
"No Rose you get going I got it, I’ll spare you the wrath of Mrs Hale we can't have you damaging her reputation by turning up late now can we."
Everyone chuckled "Believe me to them everything I do is an 'embarrassment'."
Rose's parents are very high society sorts of people that care more about there appearances than there daughters happiness. They were the reason she dated Royce king, he was among their class and was greatly respected in their social circle and look how well that turned out. Since she married Emmett and moved here to Seattle they only attend special functions, apparently her bitch of a mothers much younger sister getting married for the third time is classed as a special function.
"Besides I’m sure Edward can always help you." Alice said with grin.
I sighed " Alice all I have to do is load them into the dish washer I don't need help with that."
I pick up some more plates and head in to the kitchen when i hear the familiar ringtone Edward has set for when my brother calls. Seth and Leah have been my step brother and sister since there mom Sue married my dad 4 years ago, they've always lived on the Res with Jake so I’ve known them since I was 8 and we all made mud pies together. Edward and Seth are pretty close and often hangout.
5 minutes later as I’m shutting the dishwasher drawer Edward walks in.
"Erm Seth said to remind you he's staying at your place tonight, and that since you'd probably forgotten he's bringing Jacob with him." Edwards jaw was clenching and his fists where balled slightly at the side of his body.
Just then Jasper came in " Kate and Garrett are going to meet us at the restaurant tonight, Garrett called said he was able to swap his shift at the hospital."
"Oh good, Seth’s staying at mine tonight but I forgot until now is it ok if he joins us? That way Jake won't have to drive up just to drive home early tomorrow." I asked.
"Yeah of course, oh and Alice has gone to get ready she wants you to meet her in our room says you too have got spa appointments."
"What we don't have a..." I start to say before Jasper gives me a pointed look that tells me just to go find Alice.
...-~-…
An hour later and we were heading into the spa for our sudden appointment, but as i figured Alice wanted to talk I didn’t say anything. We had massages, facials and a manicure and pedicure without one word from Alice other than general gossip so after we had lunch in the cafe and back at the car I decided it was time she spat it out.
"Ok Alice are your going to tell me what were doing here or are you going to keep pretending this is a normal day for us?"
"What can't I want to spend the day with my best friend?"
"Alice" I said in a warning tone, something was eating at her and it was time she told me.
"Ok fine, I... I... well I...Jazz..." She stuttered trying to form the right words so I placed my hand over hers to try and comfort her.
"Jazz well he proposed."
"Alice that’s great isn't it?"
"No It's..." She couldn't say anymore before a sob wracked through her.
"Alice honey talk to me I thought you wanted to marry Jasper?"
" I do."
"Well then I don't understand, why is him proposing a bad thing?"
"Be...becau...because. he. only. did. it. because. he. thought. I. was. pregnant.” Tears flowing down her cheeks and she had the saddest look in her eyes.
"You thought you were pregnant?"
Alice nodded her head " I was late so I took a home pregnancy test. It was positive but I wanted to be sure so I thought I’d wait until I’d seen a doctor before I told Jazz, we'd talked about having kids but in the future you know when were ready, so I’ve been taking the pill. He came home early and I didn’t hear him come in because I was in the bathroom, he saw the test in my hand. He was so happy Bella I’ve never seen him light up like that. I made an appointment with my doctor for a few days later, the night before he proposed to me. He said he wanted our child’s parents to be married, that he wanted us to do it properly, be a proper family. I couldn't do it Bella i want to marry him because he wants to marry me, not because he thinks that we should be married when we have children. I told him that, that I couldn't do it for those reasons. I left and stayed at Mom and dads for the night he tried to tell me that’s not why but it is Bella I know it is. The next morning I went to the doctor and she told me I wasn't pregnant like I thought, that the promethazine... I was taking can...cause a...false...positive." Alice was sobbing hard and her breathing was labored I tried to calm her down before she started to hyperventilate.
"Alice sweetie I’m so sorry everything’s going to work out I promise but you have to calm down, try to take deep breaths okay, Can you do that for me?" She nodded her head but now she was gasping for air and still trying to form sentences she was beginning to have a panic attack and I didn't know how to help her. So i did the only thing I could think of, I called Edward.
"Hello?"
"Edward it's Bella."
I heard him groan slightly down the phone but I didn’t have time to think about it now.
"Bella now's really not a good time to talk about what happened last night in fact why don't we not talk about it at all."
"Edward you fuckward that’s not why I’m calling it's Alice she's having a panic attack and I can't calm her down Edward I don't no what to do she can hardly breathe." I said not breathing myself as I rushed out my sentence.
"Fuck Bella why didn't you just say that!"
"I tried you ass now help me!"
"Okay, okay where are you?"
"In the spa car park."
"Were on our way. I want you to try get her breathing with you slow deep breaths, I also want you to try some skin to skin contact hold her gently but firmly to your chest so that she can hear your heart beat and put me on speaker phone."
"Okay your on speaker, Alice Sweetie breathe with me. Everything’s going to be fine Jasper loves you Alice he.loves.you." I said as I did as Edward asked and held her close to me so that she could hear my heartbeat, hoping it would help calm her.
"Alice, Bella's right he loves you we all do and we need you to listen to her heartbeat, breathe with her."
"He...he...doesn't want...to ...mar...marry...me." I could hear Edward in the background telling Jasper to shut up and let him handle things incase he made it worse but I don't think Alice noticed.
"Bella were almost there just keep doing what your doing."
"Shh Alice your both going to be okay, you and Jasper are going to talk things through and everything will work out the way it's supposed to." Her sobs were slowly starting to become quieter and she wasn't taking such big gasps of air anymore but i was relieved when Edwards’s car pulled up.
