Different is a Good Thing

Epilogue
It was crazy how much things could change in just four weeks; a month. Life for me had done a complete 180; it was just amazing. At the Sadie Hawkins Dancer, Jasper stayed by my side the rest of the night. We danced, we joked, and we just had a fantastic time together. At the end of that night, Jasper took me to the park and we watched the stars together and he asked me to be his girlfriend. It didn't exactly take me by surprise, but the way he did it was sweet. I had been looking up at the stars and we had been explaining to each other our dreams for the future. We grew quiet for a moment, and then he just whispered.
"Alice, will you be my girlfriend?"
I stared at him in surprise, and as soon as the shock wore off I blurted out a very eager, "YES!"
It's been a month since that night; that magical night that changed everything. Since Jasper gave his speech the school has been treating me differently. When I'm in the hallway people I haven't talked to in years just give me a smile and say "hi." A few people even stop me to ask me how my day has been. People took what Jasper said to heart and actually listened to his advice. It stunned me how big an influence my boyfriend had on people. I smiled softly to myself at the thought. Boyfriend.
I walked down the hallway and waved at Kate as she walked by with her friends. I opened my locker and began to put my books away when arms wrapped around my waist. I smiled and leaned back into the chest that I had gotten to know well. I glanced up and grinned at Jasper. His eyes sparkled as he bent down to kiss my forehead.
"Good morning, beautiful." Jasper said as he let go and leaned against the lockers. I giggled as my cheeks heated up.
"Morning."
"Rosalie texted me to let me know that she and the others are in the back catching some sun. Shall we?" Jasper said as he offered me his arm. I smiled and closed my locker door.
"We shall." I said doing my best to imitate an English accent. I laughed afterwards since it did not come out at all the way I wanted it to. I was laughing a lot more these days. Everything was just looking up in my life. We walked out to the back of the school and saw everyone sitting on tables and sun bathing. It was a sunny day in Forks which was very rare.
We walked passed Tanya and her flunkies on our way out and they didn't even spare us a glance. Ever since the dance Tanya had been dethroned and even if she didn't admit it to herself everyone else knew she had no power over the school anymore. However, this is high school, so someone has to be the queen bee right? Who's our new leading monarch? I'll give you one guess.
"Hey guys took you long enough." Rosalie said as she crossed her legs and checked her phone. Yup, Rosalie was now the person everyone looked up to for everything and anything. I guess you could say that our little group of misfits had become a little bit popular since that night. Rosalie adored the spotlight and she gladly put on a show for everyone.
In fact, at that very moment Rosalie was sitting on Emmett's lap as she gladly showed the world that he was off limits. Rose and Emmett became a couple not long after Jasper and I did. Bella was sitting on the chair leaning as she leaned against Edward. I sat down across from my best friend and Jasper sat next to me.
"Sorry." I smirked as I gave Emmett a look. I knew he was enjoying the Rosalie situation. He just gave me a boyish grin and I laughed. Jasper raised an eyebrow at me questioningly and I just shook my head at him. I leaned up to whisper in his ear. "I'll tell you later." I whispered before giving him a kiss on the cheek.
He smiled and gave me a loving look that made my stomach flutter and I blushed. Thankfully, my phone rang giving me a reason to look away. I picked up my phone and smiled when I recognized the number. I answered cheerfully.
"Hey!"
"Hi there. Where are you guys?"
"We're in the back. Come on by, is Ben with you?"
Angela giggled on her end. "Of course! We just arrived, we'll see you soon."
I'm sure most of you are freaking out right now. Angela? As in Angela Webber? The girl who had kissed my boyfriend just a month ago? Yup, it's that same one.
Angela came up to me the Monday after the dance and apologized for putting me through such a rough spot. She just said it was hard for her to be in a new town where nobody really liked her, and hang out with a guy she had been crazy about without trying to get together with him. I understood perfectly. Who wouldn't want Jasper? He was too perfect. He and Angela are still good friends. He even introduced her to a classmate of his, Ben Cheney.
Angela and Ben hit it off amazingly, and they had just starting dating recently. I know Angela still isn't completely over Jasper, but she doesn't want to be with him anymore. There's a certain sparkle in her eye that I never saw when she looked at Jasper. Knowing that Angela is moving on has made it a whole lot easier for me. I'm even becoming great friends with her.
Rosalie still doesn't like her too much, but Rosalie is the type of girl that holds a grudge. She doesn't glare at Angela anymore which is a good thing since Bella and I hang out with her a lot now.
"Who was that?" Edward asked me.
I glanced at him. "Angela. She's on her way over."
At the mentioning of Angela, Rose flipped her hair and looked at her nails in a bored way. I smiled to myself and glanced at Jasper. Jasper nodded knowingly. It was his way of letting me know it was bothering Rosalie that everyone else was suddenly buddy-buddy with Angela, and that it was taking her longer to get used to the girl again.
"Rosalie, I love your nails. Did you visit Angelique?" I gushed taking her mind of things. Rose smiled and then started on a rant on how Angelique had done a wonderful job on her nails and that I needed to come with her to the salon next time. At the end of the rant, Jasper grabbed my hand and squeezed it softly in a thankful gesture. I smiled up at him and saw from the corner of my eye that someone was coming up to us.
Angela and Ben were heading our way. Angela was leading Ben and they were holding hands. I smiled at that. Angela sat down next to me and pulled Ben with her.
"Hey everyone." She said. I smiled at her and gave her a hug. "Hey, Angie!"
Ben gave everyone a small wave. He was a shy one, but then again Angela was also a little shy. They were perfect together. We talked together for a while longer and then the bell rang for us to go to class. Everyone stood up and gathered their stuff.
"Ready for class, sis?" Edward asked me as he stopped next to me. I nodded as I picked up my backpack from the ground. Jasper suddenly grabbed my hand and stopped me. I looked at him curiously and he winked. He looked up at Edward.
"Mind if I take her for a bit?" he asked. Edward glanced at me and then back at Jasper and shrugged. "Sure, have fun." He said as he ran to catch up with the others.
"What's up?" I asked him as I shifted my weight from one foot to the other. Jasper wrapped his arms around me and without a word pulled me into a kiss. Now, it wasn't like I had never been kissed before Jasper, and it wasn't like this was our first kiss, but the emotion he put into it just shocked me. I felt every ounce of love that I ever thought was possible and even more! I gasped quietly and Jasper nibbled on my lower lip. I made a slight jump to wrap my arms around his neck and he lifted me slightly off the ground. After a while we began to lose air that we desperately needed. We broke apart and I stared at Jasper in shock.
My eyes were glazed over and my cheeks were bright pink. Jasper was out of breath but he had a huge grin on his face. I held on to him tightly, I swear I would have fainted if I didn't. I swallowed and blinked a few times as I registered what happened.
"Wow….what was that all about?" I laughed breathlessly after a moment. Jasper chuckled and set me down on the ground again. He leaned forward so that our foreheads were touching. He kissed the tip of my nose.
"I just wanted you to know that I love you so much, and I hope things never change…" he whispered. I felt my heart speed up and then suddenly I wasn't at school with Jasper.
I was in a room in a house I had never seen before…I was standing over…a crib? I glanced down and saw the most beautiful baby girl cooing up at me. She smiled at me and stretched out her hands. I felt arms wrap around my waist and someone kissed my neck. The baby girl giggled and stretched her arms out again.
"I think Savannah wants her mother to pick her up," a voice whispered. I recognized that voice. It was Jasper!
I looked down at the baby girl and smiled. "She's so beautiful. I love you, my Savannah" I whispered as I leaned forward and picked her out of her crib. I bounced her gently and she cooed contently. I grinned.
I finally turned and saw Jasper's face his eyes shining as he looked at me. "You know what I love the most about our baby girl?" he said as he gently touched Savannah's cheek.
"What?"
"She has the most gorgeous eyes…"
I looked down at her eyes and that's when I realized that she had one green eye and one hazel. I was surprised but in my vision, I just smiled and kissed my Savannah before kissing her father.
I gasped as I blinked my eyes. I glanced around and saw that I was back at school. Jasper looked at me with worried eyes. I held onto his arm to steady myself as I tried to shake the dizziness off.
"Are you okay? What did you see?" Jasper asked as he led me to the tables to sit down. I smiled at him and nodded my head. That vision I just had…that beautiful baby girl…she had been mine…mine and Jasper's.
I turned my head to stare at him. He was still waiting for me to explain what I saw but I felt if I said it, it wouldn't come true. Just like when you make a wish on a star, or in a water fountain. I smiled though. My heart thumped excitedly. "It's okay…"
Jasper stared at me for another moment before the late bell rang and distracted him. He sighed and then grabbed my bag. "Come on, I'll walk you to class."
I smiled. Normally when he tried to do things for me I tried to stop him, but I was in such a good mood I let him get away with it. I grabbed his arm and I leaned against him. He glanced down at me and smiled softly. I looked up at him as we walked.
"I love you." I said.
"I love you too." He chuckled. He stared at me some more. "Are you sure you're okay? What are you thinking?" he asked.
"If you had a daughter, what would you name her?" I asked.
Jasper furrowed his eyebrows in confusion and took a moment before replying. He shrugged his shoulders. "Lily-Rose, I guess, after my mom and sister…or better yet, I'd name her after my grandmother."
"What was your grandmother's name?" I asked eagerly.
"Savannah…" he paused and gave me a questioning look. "Are you sure you're going to be okay?"
My heart fluttered and I grinned. I giggled and snuggled against his arm. "Yeah," I said with a giddy smile. "I'm going to be amazing…"
