Chapter 9

*~*~*Jasper's Point Of View*~*~*

Emmett walked out of Dr. Giggles office feeling calm and relieved. Rosalie stalked out
behind him feeling royally pissed off.

"Somebody needs a happy meal," I muttered under my breath.

Rosalie growled at me and threw a silver stiletto at my head. I ducked and the shoe got
stuck in the wall.

"Fuck you Jasper!" Rosalie snarled. I flinched at the anger and vexation pouring off her.

"Ali, Jazz, the doc asked for you next," Emmett muttered, pulling Rose out of the room.

With a sigh, I lead Alice into Dr. Giggles office. We took our seats in front of his desk in
silence. He continued to scribble on the legal pad in front on him. Perhaps we had entered
a little too quietly for he hadn't seemed to notice us.

I cleared my throat to gain his attention. His head whipped up and his emotions went from
relatively calm to full of fear and anxiety. At the rate his heart was pounding I feared he
was bound to suffer from cardiac arrest unless he calmed the hell down. I sent him subtle
waves of calming and tranquility.

"Hello Alice and Jasper. How are the 2 of you today?" Dr. Giggles inquired kindly.

"I'm fine," Alice smiled.

"I'm quite well thank you. A little hungry. I skipped breakfast," I said quietly. If I was
going to be forced to be here I might as well have fun with it.

"Jasper, you said you liked the Civil War. What about it draws you in?" Dr. Giggles asked.

I sighed too quietly for the good doctor to hear and responded, "I don't know. My great
great grandfather died during the Civil War. His name was Jasper Whitlock. I'm actually
named after him. He was proud to die serving his country. Cause. Whatever."

"Would you be proud to die for your country?" Dr. Giggles asked, curious.

"Of course I would! But the point of war isn't to die for your country. It's to make the other
bastard die for his," I retorted. Alice laughed from her chair next to me. I smiled, gazing
deep into her onyx eyes, darkened not from hunger but from love and passion which
poured from her. I sent waves of love and desire back at her until Dr. Giggles interrupted
us. The jealously coming off of him was staggering.

"That's an interesting way of putting it," Dr. Giggles noted. "So Alice, Carlisle and Esme tell
me your very passionate about fashion and shopping. What's the longest you've ever gone
without making a purchase?"

"2 days, 9 hours, 42 minutes, 11 seconds," Alice chuckled. "See I'm not dependent on
shopping. Besides, it's not like I have to worry about money. Thank god I'm independently
wealth."

Alice was bouncing in her chair, her eyes far away with a vision. Excitement radiated from
her.
"How much money do you have independently Alice?" Dr. Giggle asked. I thought it was
rude to ask such things but perhaps that's because I was brought up in a more proper era.

"I have $3,647,128.97 in my bank account," Alice said innocently. I suppressed a laugh.
She had that in one account, but what about the 27 others that are hers? Or that 31 that
are for the entire family? Plus she has access to my 23 accounts…Not to mention the fact
that if she ever really wanted to she could get into the 284 accounts the family has in
total.

When I saw the look on Dr. Giggles face I couldn't help but laugh along with Alice. I'm sure
it was a tough pill to swallow, knowing your "17" year old patient has more money than
you ever will. If only he knew how much the little pixie is truly worth. She could buy out
the 10 wealthiest men in the world without batting an eyelash.

In fact she had bought out Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, the Walton's, and Bernard Arnault.
She actually owns Microsoft, Berkshire Hathaway, Wal-mart, and Louis Vuitton.

"That's impressive Alice. Do you ever dress-up the family against their will?" Dr. Giggles
asked, recovering from his shock.

"Look Dr. Giggles, I only dress them up when were all either bored and have nothing to do
or when we have to go out in public and they can't dress themselves. Like today, Jenny
was going to wear this gaudy ass yellow shirt with black strips, pink tights with black strips
and yellow and black pajama pants. I could NOT let that happen! Ever!" Alice snarled.

"Shouldn't it have been her decision to make though?" Dr. Giggles commented. Oh shit!
Duck and cover. I repeat, DUCK AND FUCKING COVER! The irritation coming off of Alice is
not a good sign.

"Part of being a Cullen is dressing like a Cullen!" Alice shrieked.

"But your not a Cullen, you're a Swan," Dr. Giggles said calmly, as though he was
commenting on the weather.

"Look here asshole! My last name may be different than my parents but their still my
parents. Being a Cullen isn't just a last name, it's a fucking state of mind!" And with that
said, Alice flew at Dr. Giggles feeling murderous. I grabbed her and held her to the
ground. Lucas burst through the door and ran to us, at human pace unfortunately.

"Mary Alice Brandon-Swan-Cullen! Calm down this instant! Do not make me hurt your little
plastic friends. You know I can and will. Dr. Giggles apologizes for insulting you, don't you
doctor?" Lucas said calming Ali and scaring the shit out of Dr. Giggles at the same time. I
sent waves of remorse at Dr. Giggles.

"I'm so very sorry Miss Swan. I never meant to insult you," whimpered Dr. Giggles, on the
verge of tears. To much remorse…But seeing the doctor have a breakdown was so much
fun!

"I'm sorry Jazzy. You know you're the credit to my card, don't you?" Ali said, love and
regret coming off her.

"I love you too baby girl," I said quietly, wrapping my arms around her. I pulled her into
my lap and we sat in my chair in front of Dr. Giggles desk together.

Lucas slipped out of the room unnoticed as soon as Ali was calm. I loved my brother-in-
law. He and Ali have such a strong, pure bond.

"Jasper, is it true you like to dress-up in women's clothing and pole dance?" Dr. Giggles
asked.
If I could blush I probably would be but since I can't, I settled for scowling at Dr. Giggles
like a 2 year old.

"I don't see how it's any of your business but if you must know I was practicing for RENT.
I'll be playing Angel in the back-to-school production in 2 months. It'll be my senior year
after all, I might as well enjoy it," I informed him.

"Well that's our time for today. Could you please send Edward and Bella in next?" Dr.
Giggles announced suddenly.

I stood up, pulling Alice with me, and we quickly walked out of the room.

Chapter 10

*~*~*Edward's Point Of View*~*~*

"Alice says were going to be up in about 10 minutes," I murmured to my beautiful Bella.

"Oh joy. You know he may have survived Rose and Ali but I don't know if he'll survive me.
After all, I'm the 'newborn'," Bella joked.

"Oh love you've never been a 'newborn'," I said kissing her nose softly. She giggled and
Emmett gagged.

"You know Emmett we have to deal with you and Rose's sexual behavior on a daily basis.
Me kissing my wife's nose is nothing to gag about," I growled at him. 'Yeah but you've had
forever to get used to it. I haven't,' Emmett thought rudely.

"I'm sorry, I don't mean to interrupt your childish banter but I'm looking for a young
woman named Sasha Rose. She has soft short yellow curls, golden eyes, and really pale
skin. In fact, she looks a lot like y'all," a petite girl with fiery red hair that fell to her
shoulders asked. Her golden eyes bore into mine. 'Great, more vampires. At least they
have eyes like ours. They seem tame. I'll ask Luna what she thinks later. First we must
find Sasha. She really needs to stop disappearing. I wonder if they scared her off,'
Elizabeth thought a slight frantic tone to her mind.

"No we didn't scare her off. She thought she needed to hunt after spending an hour with
Dr. Giggles. In fact she said she would be seeing us again soon," I answered her thoughts.

"Wait, can you read minds?" the girl with long raven hair that went to her waist said. Her
eyes were onyx.

'I bet he can but how to be sure. I know I'll ask him what number I'm thinking of. I bet he
won't be able to guess 1,929,' she thought to herself.

"Why 1,929? And what are your names by the way?" I asked. My family simply looked
confused with the girls looked nervous.

"Sorry. I'm Luna and this is Elizabeth. I'm assuming you've already figured out we're
vampires as is Sasha Rose. We hunt only animals though from your eyes I'm assuming the
same is for you," the young girl, now known as Luna said quietly.

'Why is it whenever we move, we find more and more vampires? Can't we just settle
somewhere we don't have to worry about others. Fuck!' Rosalie thought, her thoughts
angry.
'What the hell is going on out there?' Alice thought. Hmm, I should have someone explain
when they get done. 'Ohh, more good vampires! Yay for visions!' Looks like I won't have
to have someone explain.

"Yes, we're very friendly. May I ask if you have any powers we should be aware of? We
have a wide range of powers ourselves. Edward can read minds as you've figured out,
Bella can block mental powers, Alice can see the future, Jasper can control emotions,
Renesmee can project her thoughts into peoples minds and she can take thoughts out, she
can also borrow peoples powers, Ashley knows things, Lucas sees the past and he also
sees the present as it unfolds, Maggie knows when she's being lied to, and finally Jenny
can levitate, posses telekinesis, and she can alter her appearance at will though she hasn't
gained much control yet," Carlisle explained.

"Wow, that's very impressive. Well I can control animals which makes our hunting habits
so much easier. Luna can produce many forms of light, her personal favorite being her
ability to glow like a light bulb. Sasha Rose can see people's aura's it's very impressive.
We're sisters though we look nothing alike. As hard as it is to believe we were born
together and turned together. Triplets. We really should go find Sasha Rose though. She
tends to get herself into trouble. Perhaps we could get together after your therapy
session?" Elizabeth said.

'Maybe after dinner time. I can see there are humans and werewolves among them but
good people none the less,' Luna thought to herself.

"After dinner would be perfect and you need not worry about the wolves, they will cause
you no harm. They are family," I said as Alice skipped out of the room with Jasper.

"You're up! Enjoy," Alice said smiling defiantly. I growled at her but got up anyways. Bella
and I said goodbye to the girls and walked into the office.

We both eyed the couch conspiratorially. Bella lifted her shield and thought, 'Wanna get
comfy and make a show out of it?'

I nodded and pulled her towards the couch. I laid down, stretching out. Bella laid herself
out next to me, instinctively I curled my arms around her.

"Hello Dr. Giggles. How are you today? Have our siblings driven you insane yet?" Bella
asked, her voice coy.

"I'm umm…I'm well. Your siblings are very interesting but I assure you I still have my
sanity," Dr. Giggles said. His thoughts contradicted him though. 'Insane? HA! Your family
is driving me down right batty!'

I laughed. I had a feeling after dealing with us he was going to be institutionalized himself.

"So doctor what would you like to talk about today?" I asked causing Dr. Giggles to look
dumbfounded.

"Well how about we start with your attempted suicide?" Dr. Giggles suggested. 'Like why
you would be stupid enough to do that.'

"Look doctor we've been over the why and the how. There's not much left to discuss. Yes I
attempted to kill myself, yes I regret my actions, no I don't plan on doing it again, yes I
understand the severity of what I did. I think that covers any and all possible questions.
Oh wait, no I wasn't put into a mental hospital after I attempted suicide. Carlisle
understood what happened and knew I didn't and don't need to be locked up," I said,
listing the answers to all the questions he could think of.
"Bella love, his mind is getting on my nerves. Would you mind greatly?" I asked to low for
Dr. Giggles to hear. Almost immediately his mind was silent. It was nice not having to
listen anymore. Between Bella blocking the doctor and me ignoring the family it was
almost quiet in my mind.

"Yes I think that covers everything. Bella, you said your writing a book based on a true
story. You also said it was about vampires. Do you believe vampires are really?" Dr.
Giggles asked.

"Of course I do. I know a lot of vampires. And my best friend is a werewolf. Actually he's a
shape shifter but werewolf sounds more manly. He's going to be in my book too!" Bella
announced. Way to sound like someone who needs to be institutionalized Bella!

I hugged my wife closer to my chest, love filling my heart. She is perfection. Making the
doctor think we're insane is so much fun!

"Bella would you say you live a stressful life?" Dr. Giggles asked. I wasn't sure what he
was getting at but I knew I would love Bella's answer.

"Since I believe stress is just a condition caused by repressing the body's desire to
strangle the living daylights out of some asshole who desperately deserves it, no I don't
feel I live a stressful life. You see I don't repress that feeling. Do I honey?" Bella said,
trying very hard to not laugh.

I rubbed my neck as though to say, why no, no you don't.

"Do you strangle anyone who annoys you or only your family?" Dr. Giggles questioned
Bella.

"Are my hands around your neck right now? I didn't think so. Let that answer your
question," Bella snapped at him. I laughed when Dr. Giggles eyes got as big as saucers.
He should get used to having his life threatened. It's a Cullen family tradition.

"Edward, would you say you overreact to things?" Dr. Giggles asked, leaving Bella alone
after her little threat.

"I don't overreact, I react just enough. There is a difference even if certain people don't
know that," I answered. Bella laughed against my chest.

"You so totally overreact. Remember the first time I got my period at the house?? Or when
Jacob and Renesmee first kissed? Or how about the time…" Bella rambled on.

"Okay I get it! I overreact. Let's not keep going down that line of thought okay?" I
interrupted her.

"What happened the first time you got your period Bella?" Dr. Giggles wondered. Oh my
god…Does he not know that some things are private?

"Emmett thought I was dying and Rosalie simply made fun of me. In fact Edward was
hunting with the rest of the family and Emmett and Rose and I had decided to stay home.
I hadn't realized I started and I bled through my white jeans. Emmett saw and started
freaking out. He called Edward, who rushed home and didn't understand. I tried calming
him but he just didn't get it was a natural thing," Bella explained through laughs.

"Whatever. Any loss of blood is unacceptable," I growled. I couldn't help but shudder a
little the memory. Bella found it funny but I hadn't. I knew all women get their periods and
that results in bleeding but I couldn't help but freak out. She had gotten her period in a
house full of vampires. So what if only 2 vampires were home at the time? What would
have happened if Jasper had been around at the time? Would he have tried killing her?
"You seem very protective of Bella, do you think you ever take your protectiveness to far?"
Dr. Giggles questioned.

"Yes I do. I know I do. I would say I don't but then Bella would just bring up a string of
instances when I was and then I would just have to admit it. I figured I'd cut out the
middle man," I answered him honestly.

Bella elbowed me in the stomach and hissed, "I'm a woman you idiot. You cut out the
middle woman."

"Sorry love," I apologized kissing the top of her head.

"Well I'm afraid that's all the time we have for today," Dr. Giggles said standing.

Together the 3 of us walked out of the office and back into the waiting area. I chuckled,
seeing the stiletto was still sticking out of the wall. I would have thought Rose would have
retrieved her shoe by now. Looking down at her feet told me instead of retrieving the
offending shoe, she simply fetched a new pair out of her car.

"Today has been a fairly interesting day and has simply flown by. Thank you all for
coming. I shall see you all tomorrow when we will continue with the couples sessions.
Have a good day," Dr. Giggles said, turning and walking back into his office before anyone
could say anything.

"Asshole," Rosalie muttered.

"Shall we go home and see about having a little alone time before we meet with the new
vampires?" I asked Bella. She simply giggled and pulled me out the door at vampuric
speed. That's my Bella for ya.

Chapter 11

*~*~*Claire's Point Of View*~*~*

I walked into the kitchen in search of the cookie jar. Esme has made a fresh batch of her
triple-chocolate-death-by-Tollhouse cookies or as I like to call the a sugar high in each
bite.

I spotted my query high above me, sitting innocently on top of the fridge. Shit…I
contemplated calling for Quil or someone tall but I heard strange voices and I decided
against it. They could be having an important meeting, no need to disturb them. Sighing I
opened the fridge. I had a plan. It wasn't a smart plan but it was a plan.

Taking a deep breath I began to climb the inside of the fridge. See? A stupid plan…

Amazingly I reached the cookie jar unscathed and without difficulty. Reaching in, I pulled
out 2 of the monstrous cookies. I carefully jumped down, landing how Renesmee had
taught me. I bent my knees and absorbed the impact with the balls of my feet.
Unfortunately, being the human I am I stumbled and fell on my bum.

I sighed and mumbled, "The millisecond I turn 18 someone is biting me!"

I stood and walked into the living room, a cookie in each hand. Standing with my family
were 7 strange vampires. Elizabeth and Luna along with 5 I didn't recognize. As I entered,
every pair of eyes fell on me.

"Hello. I'm Princess Consuala Banana Hammock and I believe that a balanced diet is a
cookie in each hand. Who are you people?" I announced proudly.
"I'm Sasha Rose and these are Elizabeth, Luna, Grace, Rhiannon, Shaunee, and Alycia.
Elizabeth and Luna are my blood sisters and Rhiannon, Shaunee, and Alycia adopted us.
Would you like to see something really cool?" Sasha Rose said, smiling down at me.

I took a bite of one of the cookies and nodded my head. Sasha Rose motioned to Luna.
Suddenly Luna began to glow. Not sparkle like I was used to but glow like my old
nightlight did. My jaw dropped as she concentrated the glow to the tip of her nose. Then
the glow started to change color.

I jumped up and down, cheering. That was SO cool. T he girl Sasha Rose introduced as
Alycia laughed.

"Watch this little one," Alycia said. Water started pouring out of her right pointer finger.
Instead of falling like water should, it started circling the room in a beautiful dance. I
giggled as the water disappeared.

"Wow! You guys are really cool. Wanna cookie?" I asked, holding the unbitten one up.

"I would love one angel," Grace said. I handed her the cookie and padded my way over to
one of the many couches.

Grace bit into the cookie, humming contently. Quil sat down next to me, stealing a bite of
my cookie. I growled unimpressively at him, causing everyone to laugh as they too sat
down.

"Actually this little munchkin is my Claire. She's a very unique angel. I guess that's what
happens when you grow up surrounded by magic," Quil explained, causing everyone to
laugh again.

I pouted and said, "Claire has left the building. For today I AM PRINCESS CONSUALA
BANANA HAMMOCK!"

"Of course you are my darling Princess Consuala Banana Hammock. So let's see if I've
gotten this all correct…Sasha Rose can see auras, Elizabeth can control animals, and Luna
can produce light. The 3 of you are natural born triplets who were then changed by the
same person at the same time. You subsequently killed the vampire that changed you.
Alycia can produce, manipulate, and absorb water. Shaunee can sleep and make others
sleep, even vampires. She doesn't have to sleep, she just likes to sometimes. Rhiannon
doesn't have a 'power', she's simply the best singer in the world hands down. Finally,
Grace is actually a hybrid of sorts. Born to a werewolf mother and a vampire father. She
doesn't live with them anymore though. When she phases she's snow white. She doesn't
currently belong to a pack. And all of your mates are out of the state for a male bonding
weekend consisting of hunting and God only knows what else. Did I forget anything?" Bella
said. My mouth hung open from shock. These new vampires are AMAZING! I wonder if I'll
have a power when I change. I really hope I do.

"Nope that's about it. Sometimes I think our husbands are so much cooler though. Sasha
Rose's hubby Aiden has the power of Animation. Ethan, Elizabeth's husband, possesses the
power of Biokinesis. My baby Kayden has the power of Omnilingualism. Grace's husband
Jack holds the power of Temporal Stasis. Grayson, who married Rhiannon, can conjure.
Brayden, Shuanee's husband, possesses the power of Technopathy. Finally Alycia's
husband Jackson possesses the power of Cryokinesis," Luna told everyone. I didn't really
understand the big words but it all sounded so cool. Plus their husbands had really
awesome names. I giggled when Luna said Grace's husband's name was Jack. Just like on
the reruns of The Secret Life Of An American Teenager.

"You know I still can believe you thought Sasha Rose was human this morning," Jasper
said to someone. I wondered silently who would ever be able to mistake her for a simple
human.
Edward chuckled, "It was your crazy uncle Emmie. He's such an idiot sometimes."

Emmett growled and lunged at Edward. They fell to the floor, cracking a floorboard or
6...They continued rolling around, breaking 2 lamps and one of the many couches in the
process.

Esme was livid. "You broke my RARE $10,453 LAMP! The 2 of you are in SO beyond dead.
I want a finger each!"

Edward and Emmett sighed, sticking their pinky fingers into their mouths. They bite down,
detaching the fingers with a screeching metal-on-metal sound. They spit their fingers out
into Esme's waiting palm.

"Next time it will be a whole appendage," Esme growled before going upstairs. Most likely
to her office. It was the one place no one was aloud aside from Carlisle.

"I liked that couch!" I cried. I started to sniffle and the tears began to pour. Oh yes! This
was going to be perfect.

Esme came running back downstairs, engulfing me in the sweetest smelling hug. I love it
when Esme hugs me. She smells just like sugar cookies and ginger. Simply delicious.

"What's wrong angel?" Esme asked me, rubbing soothing circles on my back.

"They b-b-broke my favorite c-couch!" I wailed. This was going to be amazing! I really did
have a thing for the light gray couch though.

"Well boys I have some good news and some not so good news. The good news being you
get your fingers back. The not so good news? I'm taking your whole bloody hand for
making Claire cry!" Esme said, grabbing the boys by their ears and dragging them
upstairs. It took everything I had not to do a triumphant dance.

Everyone laughed at the sight of Edward and Emmett, now without their right hands,
walking back into the room.

"Is it always like this around here?" Rhiannon asked.

"Umm…Yeah pretty much…" Bella said, laughing.

"And I thought my husband was bad," Shaunee said.

"Brayden is a saint compared to Aiden! At least your husband doesn't talk to the toilet for
hours on end. I swear sometimes I wonder if he's mentally retarded," Sasha Rose
complained.

"Have you ever tried talking with the toilet? Maybe then you'd understand why Aiden
spends so much time talking to it. I knit I love talking to my toilet. It listens to all my
problems and it doesn't' judge me," I told my captive audience. A few of the, Quil
included, looked at me like I'd lost my mind. Maybe I had but what's it matter to them?
Huh?

"You know she's got a point Sash…" Grace agreed. Holy cookie crumbs did someone
actually AGREE with ME?? That never happens…like ever…

"I love you Grace!" I screamed, jumping into her lap and hugging her. She's my new
favorite person…other than my Quil of course.
"Claire has the whites aura I've ever seen. Such a pure soul," Sasha Rose commented to
no one in particular.

Chapter 12

*~*~*Alice's Point Of View*~*~*

I sat talking with Shaunee, her short white hair looking beautiful with brilliant crimson
highlights. Standing at a mere 4'7" she looked a lot like me. She had a light, bubbly
personality and is just as in love with shopping as I am.
Across the room Luna was talking to Jenny. Luna's long raven hair was braided down to
the middle of her back. She stood to be about 5'7".

Grace sat near Luna and Jenny talking to Bella and Edward. Grace was a unique creature.
Her pale blonde hair was cropped short in the traditional female wolf cut, and her baby
blue eyes were dancing with amusement. Grace too stood around 5'7".

Alycia was, once again, entertaining Claire with her wicked water tricks. Alycia's hair was a
reddish brown color that rolled down past her shoulders in graceful waves. Alycia was
around 5'3".

Rhiannon and Renesmee were on the balcony singing Miranda Lambert's Gunpowder &
Lead. Rhiannon's light brown hair swished around her shoulders as they danced. At 5'11",
Rhiannon towered over Renesmee's 5'1" frame.

Elizabeth was talking with Jacob and Seth. Her fiery red hair reminding me of Victoria's
though Elizabeth's hair hung only to her chin. At 5'9" she looked infantile next to Jake and
Seth.

Finally my eyes passed over Sasha Rose who was sitting with Carlisle and Esme. They
were talking about Sasha Rose and Aiden's adopted twin girls Logan and Kuran. Sasha
Rose's soft yellow curls bound around her face as she explained about the death of
Katherine and John, the twins birth parents. Sasha Rose stood at only 5'4" but was
obviously the voice of the group.

Sasha Rose's phone began ringing. 'When my world goes crazy, you won't let go. When
the ground gets shaky, you give me hope.'

"Hello Aiden, home already?" I heard her ask.

My eyes turned to something far away.

Sasha Rose was hanging up the phone, a worried look on her face. She turned back to
Carlisle and Esme and said, "Kuran and Logan's babysitter Bethany got sick. Would it be
okay if one of the boys brought them over for a while?"

Before Carlisle and Esme could respond, Jenny and Claire were jumping up and down,
excited at the prospect of making new friends.

"Of course the twins can come over!" I exclaimed. Everyone look at me, obviously
surprised by my latest outburst.

They really should be used to it by now…seriously…

"Are you sure?" Sasha Rose asked.

"Of course. Jenny and Claire would love for Logan and Kuran to come over. They love
making new friends," I told her as Jenny and Claire squealed.

We all turned back to our conversations. "So Shaunee, would you like to go shopping
tomorrow after I'm released from hell?"

"Alice," Esme chided, her voice holding an obvious warning in it.

"I'm sorry…After I'm released from therapy," I amended myself for Esme's sake even
though hell was so much more appropriate.
"That would be AWESOME. There's this store in Kaktovik that I've wanted to go to but no
one will go with me," Shaunee pouted, glaring gently at her family.

"I understand exactly how you feel! If I want a shopping partner, I usually have to forcibly
drag someone along," I told her.

"Usually me," Jasper muttered across the room. I glared at him, causing him to flinch.

Someone knocked on the door causing Jenny and Claire to jump up excitedly while Carlisle
answered the door.

A few seconds later a male vampire flanked by two human children entered the room.

"Ethan!" Elizabeth exclaimed as Kuran and Logan ran into Sasha Rose's waiting arms.

Ethan had short ink black hair that was tastefully windswept. Ethan stood to be about 6'3".
Shorter than Jasper but still a lot taller than his wife.

Elizabeth and Ethan shared a short kiss before introducing him to everyone.

Jenny and Claire were already making fast friends with Kuran and Logan, both of whom
had light bronze hair, similar to Edward's, and they both had one green eye and one brown
eye. They were simply beautiful and so unique.

It was so fun watching the children play. Jenny wasn't really a child though she was
merely 16 when she was changed. She still had the heart and spirit of a child but the mind
and soul of an adult. A difficult place to be frozen at. Thankfully with her gift she looked to
be about 18.

I wondered idly what life would have been like for Jenny if she had not found Embry.
Would she have turned into a red eyed monster or would she have continued down the
path she was on, never hurting a soul. Thankfully we would never have to know.

I saw Edward nod his head every so slightly in agreement with my thoughts.

I closed my eyes and felt myself slipping into a land I had never before known.

I was staring at a tan Jasper with pale blue eyes. His hand was warm as he grasped my
little hand in his large one. He was laughing freely. Then he pressed his tender lips to mine
and I felt my heart soaring. It took me a minute to realize my heart was actually beating
in my chest.

"Alice," Jasper said in his sexy southern accent. My name never sounded so good.

"Yes?" I answered, my voice no longer tinkling like bells, instead it too was now thick with
a southern drawl though it was still light and airy.

"I love you, you know that right?" he asked me quietly.

"As I love you Jasper," I told him.

Suddenly Jasper got down on one knee and pulled out the velvet box every girl dreams of.

"Mary Alice Brandon, with each passing minute my love for you grows. I am never going to
want anyone else. Would you do me the wonderful honor of being my bride?"
"Oh Jasper! Of course I will!" I shouted, jumping up and down like the pixie I am. Jasper
slipped the elegant diamond ring onto my small finger. Our lips met once again in a kiss
filled with joy and passion.

I was suddenly no longer standing under the summer sun. I was once again sitting on one
of the many couches in the main living room. Well laying now.

"What just happened?" I asked no one in particular. Everyone's eyes were on me.

"Well…earlier Jasper kind of asked me for a favor. He said it was like a dream of yours.
Being able to sleep that is. Well you just did and according to Edward you had a beautiful
dream," Shaunee explained.

"Thank you Shaunee," I told her. Wow…I actually slept. And I dreamed the most amazing
dream too!

"Well I think we better get going. The munchkins all need to sleep I'm sure. Besides y'all
have an appointment with Dr. Giggles in the morning," Elizabeth announced as Logan
yawned and climbed unto her back. Kuran followed suit, climbing on Sasha Rose's back.

We all said our goodbyes and I grabbed Jasper, pulling him to our room upstairs. I wanted
to thank him properly for the dream.

Chapter 13

*~*~*Jenny's Point Of View*~*~*

I was hovering over the bed, watching Embry sleep. I was so lucky to have found him. He
was already my whole world and we had only been together for 2 short days. I already felt
as though I belonged, not only with Embry but with the entire family.

"Good morning Jenny," Alice whispered as she slipped into the bedroom.

"Good morning Alice. How are you today?" I asked Alice politely, swiveling in midair to face
her. I love being able to levitate.

"I'm great. But I just had a vision. Embry and you are going to be the first to go today
with Dr. Dipshit," Alice told me.

I sighed and sunk down a few inches. "Oh joy. He looked absolutely horrifying yesterday
and smelled even worse."

"Don't worry. I'm sure it won't be too terrible," Alice said before dancing out of the room.

Embry began to stir under the covers. I smiled down at him, floating back up so I was
once again hovering about 2 feet above the bed.

"Mmm…Good morning beautiful," Embry said, stretching.

"Good morning Embry," I said, dropping down to kiss him softly before sighing again.

"Is something wrong babe?" he asked me worried.

"Alice was just in to see me. She had a vision. Dr. Giggles will want to see us today," I told
him.
Embry wrapped his arms around me, pulling me down onto of him. It felt good to be
wrapped up in his warm embrace.

"I love you Jenny. Everything will be fine. I promise," Embry told me.

"I love you too," I whispered, resting my head on his bare chest.

"I so don't want to be here…Why am I here…?" I wondered aloud to no one in particular as

we waited for Dr. Giggles to make an appearance.

"Because your part of this family and to be honest, everyone in this family is bat shit
crazy," Carlisle informed me. In the 2 days I'd been living in the Cullen Mansion, I'd found
that out for myself. Hell the only reason I had even met Embry was because he had to fix
his window after attempting to kill himself. Crazy doesn't even begin to cover it.

Dr. Giggles came out and his eyes immediately zeroed in on me, nestled in Embry's lap…

"Good morning everyone. I see a new face. And who are you?" Dr. Giggles asked. I stood
up and walked towards him.

"I'm Jennifer Dove. Dr. and Mrs. Cullen just adopted me 2 days ago. I'm also Embry's
girlfriend," I told him, shaking his hand tight enough to make him wince and maybe even
bruise but not hard enough to break anything.

"Oh really? Well would Embry and yourself mind being the first couple to go today?" Dr.
Giggles asked. Like we have any choice.

"Of course we wouldn't mind," Embry said, coming up behind me and hugging me.

We followed Dr. Giggles into his office. Such a depressing little room. Embry sat down on
the couch while I sat on the floor between his legs.

"So Jennifer, tell me about yourself," Dr. Giggles requested.

"Let's see…I'm 17 years old. I was recently orphaned but I don't really care. My birth
parent's weren't the best people in the world. I met Embry 2 days ago at Spoon's
Hardware and let's just say it was love at first sight but so much stronger. A few hours
later Carlisle and Esme were signing the adoption papers and I moved in with my amazing
new family. I believe that being weird is just like being normal only so much better. My
favorite word is sarcasm and I speak it fluently. I love late fall and the color green, if it's
the right shade. I'm a night owl and never sleep. Sometimes I talk to much but it's part of
my charm. Any questions? Comments? Concerns?" I said somewhat quickly but still slow
enough for the evil one to understand.

"So you've known Embry for only 2 days and already the two of you are living together?"
Dr. Giggles stated. Retard.

"Well I already know that I love her more than anyone has loved anyone else. Ever. And
that's never gonna change," Embry said. "Considering we're both orphans, we know how
short life can be and I know she, like me, believes in living for the moment."

"Interesting," Dr. Giggles murmured. His hand flew across the legal pad in front of him
making note after note. "Jennifer, are those your natural hair and eye colors?"

"Yes doctor, I was born with amethyst eyes and snow white hair," I said as Embry ran his
fingers through my hair softly.
I felt his hands pressing down on my shoulders. It was then I realized I was hovering
almost 2 inches above the floor. Thankfully I was wearing a long full skirt so Dr. Giggles
didn't notice my little magic act. Sometimes when I'm really happy I float on air and don't
even notice.

"Is that even genetically possible?" Dr. Giggles asked.

"Umm…Obviously," I hissed. Dr. Giggles flinched unconsciously.

"So Embry, tell me about how you met Jenny," Dr. Giggles asked. Oh the joy.

"Well I had attempted to kill myself, ended up breaking a window, had to go down to
Spoon's Hardware, saw Jenny, fell in love, asked her to move in with me, and here we
are," Embry summarized terribly. Note to self: Ban him from talking about the 'accident'.

You could practically hear the cricket's chirping as Dr. Giggles sat dumbfounded. 10 to 1
say's he's contemplating having Embry committed.

"Oh but don't worry, now that I have Jenny, I don't plan on ever trying again," Embry
smiled.

Dr. Giggles blinked a few times then he cleared his throat. He made a few more notes
before speaking again. "Embry, why did you attempt suicide?"

"Because I couldn't take the pain anymore. I was sick and tired of everyone being so
freaking happy around me while I was slowly dying inside," Embry said. If I could cry I
would have.

"Okay. What is it about Embry you love Jenny?" Dr. Giggles asked.

"He holds me when I'm sad, he makes me smile with just his eyes, shares my hopes,
dreams, and fears. Makes all my nightmares disappear. I love him without regret. I just
love him because he's him," I told Dr. Giggles.

"The more I learn about this family, the less I understand," Dr. Giggles muttered so low no
human would be able to hear but we're not humans…

I growled at him as did everyone in the other room, barring Claire of course. The more I
saw of Dr. Giggles, the less I liked. Asshole.

"One final thing before I let the 2 of you go. Are y'all sharing a room?" Dr. Giggles asked.

"Of course we are doctor, but we both have our own rooms too. So 2 people, 3 rooms,"
Embry said.

With that we stood and walked out the door. I needed to get far away from him before he
ended up in a pine box.

Chapter 14

*~*~*Bella's Point Of View*~*~*

"Bella? Are you okay?" Edward asked me. I laughed, as if anything could honestly be
wrong. Well physically at least.
"I'm fine, I'm just thinking back. Remembering my life before I was changed, you know?" I
told him, leaning against his shoulder.

"Ahhh…Any memory in particular this time?" Edward wondered.

"The first weekend I got to spend with the best babysitter ever," I said thinking back...

"I love you Bella. I'll be back Monday morning before you wake up. Emmett and Jasper are
staying with you and I'm just a phone call away," Edward said, kissing my forehead softly.
I hate it when he leaves me. I know it's necessary though. His eyes are evidence of that.
Edward's eyes could give coal a run for it's money.

"I love you too Edward. Don't worry about me. Emmett and Jasper are sure to keep me
from killing myself. Go…The sooner you leave, the sooner you'll be home with me," I told
him, pushing him gently. Even if I couldn't move him, I could make sure to get my point
across.

Edward ran out of the house with Carlisle, Esme, Alice, and Rosalie. Emmett and Jasper
continued to watch the Georgia Bulldogs cream the Florida Gators on TiVo. It was going to
be a LONG weekend. I feel depressed.

"Bella it's going to be fine. Edward will be home in just 3 short days and I promise I'll keep
out of biting distance," Jasper said, forlorn. I instantly felt guilty. I wish Jasper and I could
get closer.

Emmett's phone rang loudly, jolting me from my silent desires.

"Are you sure Ali?" I heard Emmett say into his phone. He looked puzzled while Jasper
looked downright frightened, his light butterscotch eyes wide. I felt scared too, wondering
what could be happening now.

"I'm on my way," Emmett said, rushing out the door.

I turned to Jasper, dumbstruck. My main babysitter had just run away, with no
explanation. I can't wait to be a vampire. Then I would be in the know.

"Alice had a vision…of us," Jasper said quietly. "I know you want us to be closer. I just
couldn't live with myself if I were to kill you. Edward hasn't been the only one effected by
you. The whole family loves you. Even Rose…in her own unique way. You truly are the
little sister I've always wanted."

"Can I give you a hug?" I asked as the tears fell silently.

Jasper held his arms open, letting me give him the hug I've always wanted to. I felt the
love pouring off of him. In this moment, he truly became my brother.

"I love you Jasper. I know you worry about hurting me but I have faith in you. I believe in
you," I whispered. Jasper smiled softly. I returned to my seat and returned the smile.

"I love you too Bella. We have all weekend together to prove to the rest of the family that
I won't kill you. Mainly Edward. But first I believe the human needs sleep, does she not?"
Jasper whispered back. I blushed. Ah yes…my over-protective boyfriend. I mean over-
protective fiancé. I'm shocked he had aloud Alice to call Emmett, leaving me alone with
Jasper.
I yawned involuntarily as if proving Jasper's point. I stood without responding. Jasper
followed suit and together we walked up to Edward's room. Thankfully I only attempted to
visit the floor once, and Jasper gracefully stopped that from happening.

"Goodnight Bella," Jasper whispered from the doorway.

"Goodnight Jasper," I whispered back.

I fell asleep mere moments after my head hit Edward's oh so soft pillows.

I wasn't asleep for long when the nightmare began. I woke up scared, screaming bloody
murder. Jasper was by my side an instant later, holding me close and rubbing my back as
I sobbed.

"It's okay Bella. Shh…It's okay. Edward will be home Monday," Jasper whispered.

"Jazz will you stay with me? I don't think I could handle being alone. I'll understand if it's
too much for you to handle though," I whispered. I knew I would never get any sleep
tonight unless someone stayed with me.

"Of course I'll stay with you Bells," Jasper whispered. I suddenly felt a lot calmer and
slipped under once again.

The next time I opened my eyes the sun was streaming through Edward's window and
Jasper's cold arms were still wrapped protectively around me.

"Morning Bella. How did you sleep?" Jasper asked cheerfully.

I stretched and said, "Much better. Thank you for staying with me. Was it very hard for
you?"

Jasper chuckled and squeezed me gently. "Silly Bella after almost 2 years it's gotten a lot
easier. Besides, I love my little sister to much to kill her."

I laughed along with him as we headed downstairs. I was starving and Edward would be
pissed if I skipped breakfast.

"What would my favorite human like to eat this morning?" Jasper asked.

"Hmm…How about I hunt and you watch?" I suggested. Jasper nodded, smiling and I
wondered idly if he had ever cooked a meal in his entire existence.

I went to the cupboard, grabbing my Fruit Loops. I looped over to the fridge, snatching the
milk and orange juice.

As I assembled my breakfast, Jasper's phone began ringing.

"Hello Edward…Bella's fine…She's hunting up her breakfast…Umm, Fruit Loops I believe…

Yes, everything is perfectly fine…Not even once…No Edward, I'm not lying. ..If I can't
handle it, I'll call…I have no idea what Alice is hiding from you…Okay…Sure…Tell Alice I
love her…One second," I heard Jasper say, before passing the phone to me.

I put down my spoon and spoke into the receiver, "Good morning Edward."

"Good morning love. How are you today?" Edward asked, his velvet voice making my heart
skip the usual beat. Jasper chuckled on his way out. I assumed he was going back to
whatever game I interrupted last night.
"I'm quite well. Jasper's on his way to being my favorite babysitter. Are you being good or
is Rose on the verge of killing you again?" I asked, sipping on my orange juice.

"Emmett is keeping Rose bust so I don't annoy her. Alice and I have been alternating
between hunting and watching your future but now Alice is keeping something from me. I
must say, I'm very proud of Jasper…Well Alice is glaring at me so I have to go. I love you
Isabella," Edward said.

"I love you too. Go bag a mountain lion for me," I said.

I finished the rest of my breakfast as soon as we hung up. I was excited to spend more
time with Jasper.

As soon as I was done, I rinsed my dishes and ran into the living room. Jasper sat playing
Skate 2, growling softly as he biffed it.

"Losing Jazz?" I asked mockingly. Jasper simply growled louder, causing me to laugh.

"So what would you like to do today?" I asked him as he biffed it yet again.

Jasper gently chucked the remote at the wall. It still shattered into a million pieces. I was
shocked. I had never seen Jasper break anything without Emmett involved.

"Well after the dream you had last night, how about we get a trampoline?" Jasper asked. I
looked at him, dumb founded. Jasper wanted to buy a TRAMPOLINE?!

"You do remember who your talking to right? This is Isabella Marie Swan, queen of the
danger magnates. I can trip over NOTHING!" I reminded him.

Jasper laughed, pulling me towards the garage. "Don't worry Bells. I won't let anything
happen to you. Besides, I think this is one physical activity you won't fail at."

We got into Carlisle's Mercedes and sped towards Seattle, home of the nearest Wally
World. We really need to get a Wally World closer to home or maybe even a mall. Hmm…I
wonder if Alice could convince someone to put a mall in like Port Angeles.

"So are you scared Bella?" Jasper asked me quietly. I sighed, knowing exactly what he was
talking about.

"I'm just worried he won't love me anymore after I'm changed," I admitted, blushing
deeply. My voice was barely a whisper in the wind, thankfully I was riding with a vampire.

I felt waves of reassurance pouring over me as Jasper said, "Bella nothing is going to
change except you will no longer make him thirsty. Edward loves you for so much more
than your blush and your heartbeat. He loves your beautiful mind though he can't hear it's
marvelous secrets, your eyes that tell him what your mind won't , and your smile that
some home manages to make his dead heart skip a beat. It's not just your voice that
makes his heart soar, your sleep talking that entertains us all, or your clumsiness that is
so heartwarming. Edward loves you for the simple reason that your YOU."

A silent tear fell from my eye as Jasper gave me a one armed hug.

"Thanks Jazz. That really means a lot to me. I'm so glad we get to spend the weekend
together. Emmett would have spent the weekend laughing at me after I tripped going to
bed last night," I said laughing as I wiped away the tears.

********3 LONG Hours Later********

We finally had the trampoline at home and set up, safety net included. I was staring at the
monstrous creation as Jasper laughed.

"Feeling a little anxious Bella?" Jasper joked. I turned to glare at him.

"Shut up Jazz," I muttered.

Jasper picked me up and together we jumped OVER the safety net, bouncing about 6
times before we lost momentum. Stupid showoff-y vampire. Note to self: strangle him
after I turn!

Oddly enough the bouncing was fun and not very hard. After a little practice, Jasper let me
jump without his guidance. It was exhilarating…until I overshot a jump and went sailing
into the safety net. Jasper was reading and apparently didn't sense danger in time to save
me.

"So much for something I can do," I grumbled as Jasper helped me up and into the house.

"Oh Bella…" Jasper chuckled.

I snapped back to reality as Dr. Giggles came out of his office. I sighed, smiling. Best…
babysitter…ever!

Chapter 15

I'm sorry but we really need to cut this session short today. My dear friend and secretary,
Stephanie, has been in a terrible accident. Shall we resume this next week?" Dr. Giggles
asked. He looked truly devastated.

I felt my eyes glaze over and Carlisle's response was lost to a vision of the past. I saw a
young girl of barely 18 walking across the snow covered road late at night. She had
headphones on, her music turned up loud. A man was approaching in a large SUV, his
vehicle swerving back and forth. The driver of the black SUV was visibly drunk.

I cringed as the front of the SUV made contact with Stephanie's side. A blood curdling
scream escaped her lips. Ellie, a young girl I recognized from school, screamed and ran to
Stephanie's still body. The drunk driver continued to speed away.

Ellie shook Stephanie, causing me to shake too. If I could cry, I would. I had seen and
done many terrible things in my existence but the loss of such a vibrant young life truly
sickens me. I remembered Stephanie from school. She lived her life to the fullest, always
trying her best. She believed in persevering no matter what.

As my eyes focused back I saw Edward shaking with the same fury that was currently
boiling through me. Jasper flinched from all the raw anger radiating from Edward and I.

"What the hell is going on?" Jasper hissed, our anger reflected in his voice.

"Calm down everyone! Jasper isn't handling the anger well!" Alice said, rubbing Jasper's
arm soothingly.

I worked on slowly controlling my anger, letting Jasper's calming magic work on me.
xXx 3 Hours Later xXx

"Well it looks like therapy's over. TO bad. It was just getting interesting," Alice
commented.

"What do you mean Ali?" Jasper asked before I could.

Alice laughed and said, "Well since our therapist is going to be locked up in an asylum, it'll
be hard for us to continue seeing him. He saw her and he snapped. He was apparently a
mental patient before you know." I was still confused as were most of us.

"Alice…why would seeing her cause him to snap? Who is 'her' for that matter?" I asked.

Before Alice could answer, Stephanie walked through the front door. She looked absolutely
beautiful yet completely miserable. Stephanie looked only at the ground.

"I went to see him," she mumbled. "He was so scared. I'm supposed to be dead after all.
Even if I disappeared from the scene…Ellie saw me die. I was as close to death as one
could be. But I was saved. Doesn't he see? This isn't a bad thing. This is a good thing. I'll
spend the rest of my existence saving those like me…Saving those who don't have anyone
else that can save them…"

The now vampire Stephanie continued walking up the stairs.

"How?" was all anyone could ask…all anyone could say.

"She has the ability to speed things up," Carlisle explained. "A transformation that should
have taken days, took merely hours. She's a unique specimen. Stephanie has chosen to
spend her life helping the helpless. I didn't tell anyone about her because she didn't want
anyone to know."

We all turned to stare at the top of the stairs where Stephanie disappeared.

"So what should we do now?" Alice asked.

Renesmee laughed and said, "I have an idea…"

This should be interesting.
