The Life of Anna Swan (Book III)

I

I laughed as Emmett laid his head on my swollen belly. He's been trying to get her to talk for some idiotic reason. Jasper was sitting beside me with his arm across my shoulders. He pressed a kiss to my temple. Alice rushed in the room handing me a cutely wrapped box. I gave her a confused look.

"I bought something for the baby." She grinned giddy. 

I laughed opening the gift and cooed a the outfit.

"Oh my god!" I squealed. "It's so beautiful thank you!"

Alice hugged me gently with a big grin. 

"Oh I got something for the baby!" Emmett says before running upstairs.

He came back downstairs with a pink gift bag. I took it from him with a smile and pull out the soft fuzzy object. I held up a adorable bear onesie!

"It's so cute!" I grinned. 

--

Jasper lead me up to the door of the house just as Bella pulls up. She smiled at the both of us. I kissed Jasper goodbye. He had to go hunting. Bella and I walked into the living room. I plop on the couch beside dad. Bella sat down on my other side. Dad glanced at the clock.

"Four o'clock on the dot." Dad muttered. "That kid tryin to brown nose me?" 

I snorted lightly while kicking my feet up on the coffee table.

"He has a name." Bella huffed. "And now he's too punctual for you?" 

I rolled my eyes giving Bella what everyone now dons the 'Mom glare'. 

She sighed getting up to head upstairs when dad stopped her.

"Wait a sec," dad sighed. "sit down."

"While you two talk I'm going pee." I huffed trying to get up. 

Dad and Bella both helped me the best they can. I walked towards the stairs and groaned loudly.

"Dad!" I whined. "You need to get a downstairs bathroom."

He laughed with Bella as I slowly made my way upstairs.

--

I was slowly dozing off with my face pressed to Jasper's neck when there was a knock on the door. I groaned quietly as the door opened. I felt the bed dip on my other side. Sighing I roll over to my back. Bella looked down at me.

"I'll be outside." Jasper says kissing me.

"Okay." I whispered. 

I watched as he jumped out the window with ease before sitting up leaning against the headboard. 

"What's up?" I asked.

"You remember the day of the family vote?" She asked me.

"Yeah." I nodded. "What about it."

"Well after we left and had that confrontation with Jake, Edward asked me to marry him." She says.

"Oh my god what'd you say?" I asked.

"I told him no." She says.

"Why?" I asked.

"It's just a piece of paper and don't want people thinking I'm pregnant." She says.

"Do you think it was a mistake I got pregnant?" I asked curiously.

She bit her lip before nodding. Tears stung my eyes.

"Do you think I wanted to become a teen mom?" I asked her quietly.

"I mean the timing of it." She whispered.

"You know what, in the heat of the moment you don't think of protection." I hissed. "And at the time we didn't think Jasper could get me pregnant. You know what, just go I want to go to bed." 

Bella sighed climbing out of the bed and left my room. I curl up slightly on my side as I sobbed quietly. I felt a cool hand brush my cheek. I curl into Jasper's side. He held me close shushing me gently.

--

I sat at the table between Mike and Jasper. Mike was currently reading off a piece of paper. Jess had been elected valedictorian and he was 'helping' her with her speech. I ignored Bella's stares as I got lost in my thoughts. 

"I've decided to throw a party." Alice's voice jolts me from my thoughts. 

I look up at her and Lilith who must've just sat down.

"A party?" Angela asked. "At your place?"

"I mean after all how many times are we gonna graduate high school." Jasper smirked.

I playfully smacked his thigh as he kissed my temple. 

"I've never seen your place." Jess says.

"No ones ever been to their house." Eric added.

"I have." I smirked slightly causing Jess to glare at me.

"Darlin' you're at my place almost everyday." Jazz smirked at me.

I gave him a smirk right back humming as he kissed me.

"Another party, Alice?" Edward deadpanned. 

I gave him an icy glare causing him to gulp.

"It'll be fun." Alice said.

"Yeah, that's what you said the last time." Bella snipped. 

I frown feeling Jasper tense. Sighing I stand up holding my hand out for Jasper to take. He does so and we head out of the cafeteria. 

"Ignore them, Jazzy." I say gently hugging him.

--

Jasper and I followed behind Edward and Bella. They were dropping us off at the station so we could go to dinner with dad.

"So at school, what did Alice see?" Bella asked.

I looked at Jasper confused.

"Alice had a vision?" I asked.

"Just after we left." Jasper replied.

"It was nothing." Edward lied through his teeth.

I huff rolling my eyes at him. He really needs to learn to stop lying to Bella. I noticed dad inside talking to a couple. They must be the Biers'. Their son disappeared about a year ago. I smiled at dad as he walked out of the police station. 

"Hey." Dad says.

Bella and I both wave slightly. 

"It's still gonna be the three of us?" Dad asked. "I don't mind if you tag along Jasper."

I gave Bella a smirk causing her to roll her eyes. 

"No, we're just dropping them off." Edward explained.

I kiss Jasper as Edward heads to his car.

"Oh, girls might want to use the airline tickets my parents got you two for your birthday." Edward says. "They expire soon."

"Airline tickets?" Dad asked.

"Yeah, two round trip tickets to see mom." I explained. "I'm not going."

"May be the last chance you get before you two graduate." Edward says.

"Well you can have my damn ticket, Edward." I snipped. "I am not flying at eight months pregnant."
