Elena kissed him back gratefully, and when they pulled apart again she grinned and said, "In that case, I vote we tell Chaosti in a letter. A letter from Germany."

Jasper laughed. "I thought Autumn already trashed that option," he said. "But, since you brought it up again, I'm going to use the same argument she used. He'll take it better if you... we just come out and tell him."

"That's what death beds are for!" Elena exclaimed. "'Oh, by the way, Chaosti, I had a child and you're the godfather!'" She paused then and said, "I mean, if you're okay with him being the godfather. I kind of just always assumed if I ever had kids I'd make him the godfather of them. Not that I've ever thought seriously about being a mother before." She shudders a little bit, still not quite believing this was happening to her. "But he is my best friend."

Jasper chuckled and kissed the side of her head. "I assumed you wanted him to be the godfather," he said. "And it's fine with me. Whoever you want to be the godparents is fine. You know the people here better than I do. But, like you said, he is your best friend, so I think we need to tell him about this. If we get it over with now, he won't freak out quite as bad as he would if we waited until it started to show." He lightly rested his hand on her stomach and a smile played at his lips.

Elena sighed, reflexively covering his hand on her stomach with her own hand. "I know, I just.. I think I need some time to get used to the idea myself before I start telling my friends."

Jasper nodded again. "Okay," he said. "Just don't run off to Germany in an effort to put off telling him. He might just follow you there."

Elena snorted and said, "Oh, he would. He came and followed us to Vegas, when we ran off. It wasn't too pretty when he discovered I'd-" Uh-oh. She'd been about to mention the time she'd gotten married to a random guy. "-uh, been gambling."

Jasper caught her real thought in her head. He raised an eyebrow. "Since when is gambling used as a substitute for saying you married a random guy?" Before she flipped out, he quickly added, "As long as you're not married any more, it's okay. People make mistakes."

Elena winced and said, "No, no, we got it annulled. We were drunk, and.. Well, he said 'You know what would be funny? If we ate a lot of grapes.' And then I said, 'You know what would be even funnier? If we got married.' So we decided to get married, and then.. eat a lot of grapes."

"Wow," Jasper said with a chuckle. "Grapes? I would have thought playing a prank on someone was funny... Not eating grapes. Plus, eating would take away from being able to watch you." He leaned down and kissed her gently.

Elena smiled into the kiss, sliding her arms around the back of Jasper's neck. She was so relieved he hadn't abandoned her. She hadn't known him all that long, it was true, but she had already become quite attached to him.

Jasper pushed Elena against the wall behind her as he deepened the kiss. When he needed to breathe, he moved his kisses down to her neck. "You should know I wouldn't abandon you," he said between kisses. "And I have a feeling I might be more attached to you than you are to me."
