Bella paced around the mansion anxiously. Everyday brought Alexandra closer to giving birth to the twins and still no one else knew aside from herself, Alice, Jasper, and Edward. Rosalie, Carlisle, Esme and Emmett still needed to know. Quickly she pulled out her phone and sent a mass text to the rest of the family.
I need you all at the mansion right now. It's important, so please come quickly.
--Bella
She sent it and closed her phone, waiting for all of them to arrive.

Edward knew that this was going to be a tense family meeting. He knew that Rose was going to be the unknown. Edward watched at Bella paced the floor waiting on the rest of the family to arrive. Edward walked over to Bella and wrapped his arms around her. "It will be okay love. I am here with you. We will get through this, together." He said as he kissed the top of her head.

Rose had been on a shopping trip for Maden when she got the text from Bella. Rose had not been at the mansion a lot since Nessie's wedding, things were much to tense there lately with Alice coming home with some one else. Rose was not sure what the hell was going on but she knew that her twin was hurting and Rose did not like that. Rose hated to see Jasper in pain.
Rose returned to the house and walked inside. "What is it? Why the important family meeting? Has Crystal returned?" Rose knew that she was asking a ton of questions but it worried her when they called family meeting considering everything that had happened before the wedding.

Bella was so glad that Edward was there to comfort her. Without him, she didn't know how she would face Rosalie, who was the one she worried about the most. Before she could say anything to Edward, Rosalie showed up at the mansion. It was going to be difficult to tell her that their brother had knocked up someone other than Alice. "No, Rose. Crystal hasn't returned," she said. "We just have to wait for Emmett to get here and hope that Esme and Carlisle can make it as well."

Emmett was out mostly the whole time since the wedding was over. He still didn't talk to Alice since her return. Everything was just weird, most of it. Emmett would wander around the mansion, the forest, even the Forks town itself because he wanted to be alone and clear his mind up. He didn't want to tell Rosalie his problems or anyone else for that matter. Noticing that his wife is barely home like him, so it was only fair. When he got a message from Bella, he was in the forest looking out for something. He rushed to the mansion in a worry that something might have happened or Crystal and Will are at the mansion.
Emmett burst into the living room in flash and looked at Rosalie, Bella, and Edward. "Will came with Crystal? Someone got killed?" He knew that he was asking questions but he needed to know why the family meeting was called. "Will someone tell me what the hell is going on?" Emmett went to Rosalie's side, wrapped his arms around her as he waited for some answers from either Bella or Edward.

Bella sighed deeply once Emmett arrived. They would be the first to learn the truth and how they reacted to it would set the stage for how everything would begin to go down the closer to the birth of the twins. Taking one last look at Edward, she turned to her brother and sister to tell them what was happening. "Crystal has not come back, nor do I think will. This is something else, something far more personal that we have to deal with as a family," she began. "Before Alice came home, there was an...episode involving Jasper and my cousin Alexandra. I won't go into specifics for the sake of time, but the end result of it is that Lexie is pregnant with Jasper's children, twins." She paused for a short second before continuing without giving anyone else a chance to butt in. "Alice already knows and is leaving Jasper. And he is planning to leave when the twins are born, which I do not agree with because Lexie doesn't know the first thing about raising half-vampire children."

Edward stood behind Bella and let her tell Emmett and Rosalie about Jasper and Lexie. He was trying to keep his mind on their thoughts to make sure that Rose did not over react. Edward was alert as Bella finished, he was ready for anything. As she finished he added, "There is not much time left. The twins will be arriving soon. We have arranged for Nessie and Jacob to stay away a little bit longer." Edward knew that Emmett would understand but he was not sure about Rose.

Rose stood in Emmett's arms as Bella told them about Jasper and her temper flared. Rosalie had been controlling herself over the past months and was glad at the changes in the life, but something about the way that Bella was talking set her off. When Bella said that Alice was leaving Jasper that was it, Rose blow up. "What do you mean Alice is leaving Jasper, Alice already left once. You all act like Alice never left. Need I remind you that she brought someone home with her." Rose yelled as she pulled away from Emmett. "You act like you are surprised that something happened between Lexie and Jasper. What did you expect by letting those girls into our lives?" Rose was getting angrier by the minute. Rosalie knew that she was acting like her old self but at that moment she did not care. She was about to lose her twin if she did not do something. "Both of you stand there and condemn Jasper for something that has happened before. No of us knew if Alice was coming back, so where is the problem in Jasper finding someone else?" Rosalie knew that what she was about to say would hurt her love, but she hoped that he would understand. "I don't see what the difference is between what Jasper did after Alice left and what happened between Emmett and my self. We were apart when it happened and I am happier now than ever. Maybe Alice will be too." Rosalie was trying very hard to calm down and had stopped yelling. She knew that yelling was not doing to help anything. What she wanted the most was to talk to her twin.

Bella could hear the anger in Rosalie's voice and knew exactly who's side she was taking. In her mind, she knew it would happen because Jasper was her twin, just as Alice was Edward's. Bella shook her head adamantly, "No Rose, what happened between you and Emmett is completely different than Alice and Jasper. Alice left for some space, never officially separating from Jasper the way you and Emmett had. She was going to come home when she felt like she was ready to." Bella was allowing her own temper to rise, but tried to keep it in check. She needed to defend Alice, the sister she loved and adored. "Alice brought back a friend Rose, intending that things would be alright between her and Jasper. But, what Jasper has done to her...it broke her heart. You weren't there consoling her when she was told...I had to break the news to her and hold her afterward when she was upset and angry. Evan...he's her friend too. And even if she has fallen for him, it wasn't until after learning what Jasper did." Bella immediately calmed herself to bring down the stress in the room. She didn't need another escalated situation like she had with Jasper. That would have been far too much to handle and she had been bearing the weight on her own throughout the entire thing.

The truth was there when Bella told both him and Rosalie what Jasper did. He had to admit that he wasn't expecting that from Jasper, especially not when he was right there when Emmett left Rosalie for few months. That time he wasn't thinking well when he left and knocked the human girl, and wasn't expecting son at all. Maden was the second best thing that happened to him since Rosalie came into his life. Emmett didn't want Alice to leave Jasper nor Jasper leave once the twins arrive...it was just wrong. Though he does understand for the fact that both of them might want some space and be alone for while. All he was wishing for is that either Alice or Jasper leave, he needs both of them as well as the whole family. It won't be the same without them, and it'll be hard on him since Alice won't be with Emmett fooling around like they always do.
He was little distressed about the situation but when Rosalie burst into angry flames, he knew that he had to stop her before anything goes out of hand. Edward calm Bella down! Both of us know very well that Rosalie and Bella are stubborn and won't stop this until Rosalie does something. He looked at Edward hoping that he would calm Bella down or try his best. But it was also his duty to calm his wife down to. He just didn't know what was happening to the family lately. Someone is getting into fights, someone is knocking someone, kids are popping in, someone new is coming into the family. It was just crazy lately and Emmett nor Rosalie could take that right now. Especially Nessie when she finds out what Jasper did, she would be pissed. So he was happy that Bella and Edward decided to keep Nessie and Jacob away from Forks and the situation for a longer. It was a great idea to send them to Isle Esme, something nice and very tropical.
"Rosalie that's enough!" Emmett hissed. Somehow, he needed to calm Rosalie down and he had to talk to Rosalie alone once everything is done at the mansion. She couldn't handle her anger right now and doesn't blame her for her reaction. But there's always have been limits on things. "It would be best if you we stop yelling at each other and talk about it in normal voice. Rose I would really appreciate it if you would listen to what Bella and Edward has to say then you can say whatever you like. Just think about that our lives changed since Maden came into our lives. For Jasper and Alice is little different, babe. Alice won't accept those twins in the first place liek you accepted Maden. As far as Jasper goes, I think it'll be best for him if he stays and takes care of those kids. Though he also needs his space." Emmett didn't want to start arguing about anything right now, he just said what he thought was right then it's up to Jasper and Alice to decide. "I'm neutral. I'm not going to take sides on this time. I'm tired of everything right now." He sighed as he leaned against the wall.

Rose could not believe that her family was acting this way but she should have known. It was always about Edward and Bella even before Bella was part of the family. Rosalie flashed back to those early days and the threat of letting a human into their lives and she realized that it was Bella's fault again for bringing those girls into their home.
When Emmett hissed at her, Rose froze and listened to him. The last thing that she wanted was to fight with him, but she was beyond calm. Rose knew that Emmett did not understand how she felt. He had never trusted Crystal and she was supposed to be his twin, but Rose loved her twin and was going to hurt when he was gone. Rose still thought that them taking Alice's side was wrong, after all Alice had left and she didn't care if it was over Crystal or not. None of them knew if Alice was coming back and she hadn't taken Jasper with her, so his was just as much in the dark as they were.
Rose thought things through in under a second and glared at Bella. Rose knew that there was more to Alice and Evan's relationship than friendship, that was obvious at the wedding the way that they were always touching. Rose looked from Emmett to Edward and back to Bella and said only one thing. "Hmph!" She said loudly as she stomped her high heel and stormed off upstairs to find her twin.

Edward was about to get between Bella and Rose, when he heard Emmett's thoughts and words. Edward knew from the way that Rose was acting that she was taking sides even if Emmett wasn't. He watched as she stormed off and knew that she was going to be hell to live with for awhile. "I am sorry, Emmett. I know that you are going to be the one that has to deal with her and for that I am truly sorry. You needed to know what was going on though." Edward was tired of the fighting and the anger. He head was hurting from all of the tension in the thoughts around him.
