Hi there, lovelies,
Mischievous M here with another Tea Time Tuesday. This week I'll be presenting another one-shot, "My Brother And His Girlfriend." Y'all know the drill, this little piece right here is one of fluffness. I know I've always wondered what the other Cullen's thought of Edward and Bella's relationship, yes, even Rosalie. In this one-shot, we get to hear from Jasper during a certain situation he happens to witness between the couple.
If you love Jasper and don't mind an extra dose of cuteness from Eddie and Bells then this one's for you. Besides, who doesn't love a point of view from the Lord of the Emotions. You'll understand when you read.

I watched from the doorway as she opened her mouth, her eyes still closed. Edward gently slipped the small, plastic device between her lips, his eyes staring at the tiny screen. A few seconds later, it beeped, and his mouth fell into a deep frown. "One-oh-three." He muttered, taking the thermometer from her mouth and laying her back on the bed. Slipping past me, he stepped out into the hall and pulled out his phone, dialing Carlisle's number.
"Jazz, could you go sit with her while I talk?" He whispered, his eyes darting to the girl on the bed. "Just put your hands on her cheeks or her forehead- keep her cool." His expression changed slightly, and caution started to swirl around him. "Would you be okay with that?"
I nodded. "No problem." Carlisle picked up then, and they began to discuss the situation. I slowly stepped inside the room. It was incredibly warm and smelled as if Bella lived in there. Slightly worried now, I inched towards the bed, sitting on the edge as Edward had. She was extremely pale, more-so than usual. I put my hand on her forehead, and she sighed with contentment.
"So, what should I do?" Edward was saying from the hallway. He was still worried, but the incredible flood was tainted with relief.
"Just keep her cool." Carlisle was saying on the other side of the phone. "I'm with a patient right now, but if you'll give me thirty minutes, I'll bring by some medicine."
Edward sighed. "Thanks so much." and closed the phone, turning his attention back to Bella. He bit his lip (a habit he had picked up from his fiancee), contemplating something, and looked at me. "Jasper, do you think-" His brow creased. "Would you mind holding her for a minute?"
I was taken slightly aback, but nodded numbly.
"Thank you; I just need to take these blankets off the bed real quick." He moved to where I was sitting and smiled. "Don't worry, she won't bite."
Nodding, I slipped my arms under her and pulled her to me, standing up. She was so light! "God, how much does she weigh?" It felt as if there wasn't anything in my arms at all. If I had ever thought her fragile, it was now more than ever. I understood Edward's caution when he was with her, now, and it was scary how breakable she really was.
"Ninety-four," Edward said grimly, pulling the large comforter off the bed and laying it over his arm. Anger and self-hate began to roll off of him. "She was one-hundred and ten before all of this started."
I knew what he meant. Us leaving. Vampire wars. Risking your life every ten minutes.

Some insight into Edward and Bella's relationship given to us by cool, calm and collected Jasper. Yes, please. This one-shot was the one that had me searching for more. The fact that we get to see this through Jasper's thoughts instead of Edward's is a nice refresher, no offense to those other stories and one-shots. Apart from reading Jasper's thoughts on his brother and his girlfriend, this is a good and short piece to leave you smiling at the end.
Don't forget to leave some love for CuriosityKilledTheSquirrel. Tune in tomorrow for Wicked Wednesday with Scandalous S.
Love,
~*~ Mischievous M
I love Jasper!
