Author's Note:

Checking my emails recently, I remembered that I had received a prompt to write a collection of Jasper/Alice one-shots. Thank you to the person who sent me that prompt; I'm very sorry it has taken me so long to get around to it. There will also be some stories including Alice and/or Jasper with other Cullen family members (and possibly Bella).

I had been trying to think of a title, but I feel Jasper/Alice One-Shot Collection covers it, really.

As always, sorry for any mistakes.

Thank you for reading.

Chapter 1

Typically, Jasper trusted Alice. He usually believed that she knew what she was doing. He usually trusted her visions. But, this time, he was convinced that Alice had made a mistake. It had to be a mistake. There was no way that this could ever be a good decision. And he was about to voice as much to Alice when she turned to him, stopping in her tracks, and glared.

"Stop it, Jasper."

Jasper frowned at the order, opening his mouth to argue when Alice said;

"Jasper, I can feel your distrust." Alice spoke again, softer this time, and he couldn't help but smile when she reached up to place a hand gently on his cheek. "I promise you, everything is going to be fine. They're going to love us. I wouldn't be doing this if I wasn't certain."

Jasper knew that. But it didn't help settle his anxiety.

They didn't know anything about this coven. And futures change. What's to stop them from attacking? His little Alice would be heartbroken if they turned them away.

And surely it would be a better idea to use their front door than to walk through the forest at the back of their house. He certainly wouldn't be happy if somebody entered his territory from the back.

Besides, it was politer that way.

"Jasper, stop." Alice demanded again, and he could see the anxiety on her face.

"My apologies, darling." Jasper said softly, calming himself and sending calming waves over to his little wife. "Are you absolutely sure...,"

He didn't get to finish his question because Alice sent a glare his way.

"Yes."

Alright, then.

Jasper reached out, taking Alice's hand and giving it a gentle squeeze. Jasper held his breath as they neared the grounds of this coven that Alice was adamant they were joining. He still didn't have a good feeling about this. But he figured that it was best to just trust her. As she said, she wouldn't be doing this if she wasn't certain.

He could feel confusion and wariness in the air as the giant house from Alice's vision came into view. He hid behind a tree, watching. He could see figures moving behind the glass, heading towards the exit. Heading towards them.

A low rumble echoed from Jasper's chest before he could stop it.

Alice's hand suddenly came into contact with his shoulder, hard.

"Jasper! Stop it. Now."

Jasper straightened his knees and forced himself to relax his position, absently rubbing his shoulder.

Suddenly, Alice nodded. This is what she had seen in her vision. The coven was partway across the field. Alice stepped out from the shelter of the trees and made her entrance, Jasper rushing to stick by her.

There were three vampires in front of them. Carlisle, Esme and Rosalie, Jasper thought to himself. He glanced around. Where were the other two males? Alice had said that there were three males and two females.

Alice and Jasper came to a stop a little way away, Jasper purposely standing so close to Alice that they were touching.

"Welcome," Spoke Carlisle, clearly the coven leader. "My name is Carlisle Cullen. This is my wife, Esme, and my daughter Rosalie." He pointed to them both respectively.

Daughter? Jasper thought, sure that he must have misheard. There was no way that he had referred to her in that way.

"Major Jasper Whitlock, sir." Jasper spoke up, taking charge once he had overcome his confusion. "And this is my wife, Alice."

"How can we help you?" Carlisle inquired.

Jasper was about to respond when Alice disappeared from his side. In the time it had taken him to blink, Alice was standing in front of them. He could feel her excitement from where he was standing. And just by the second-hand excitement he could feel coming from Carlisle and his wife, he knew Alice had her smile on her face.

It was the same smile that made Jasper melt.

Jasper was by his wife's side in seconds, pulling her back slightly. Vision or no vision, she could approach unknown vampires like that.

"My apologies, sir." Jasper spoke, subtly sending out a few waves of calm. "My wife can be very enthusiastic."

Jasper felt the excitement that Carlisle had initially been feeling fluctuate slightly as their eyes met. Carlisle's eyes fell upon his face for a moment and Jasper could feel a slight hostility coming from him. But it soon faded and his smile returned.

"Nonsense." Carlisle waved his apology off. "What can we do for you both?"

"We'd like to join your coven." Alice stated simply and Jasper mentally face-palmed. He'd told her to break the news gently. He'd told her to ask for permission. Coven leaders can be very sensitive about who does and doesn't join and she-

"Of course." Jasper's train of though was broken when the word's left Carlisle's lips. "Do come inside, we shall get to know one another better."

Rosalie, who had so far been quiet, let off a feeling of disgust. Jasper's eyes shot towards her in surprise. Disgust was what she was feeling, but wariness was what showed on her face as she glared at him.

"You're going to invite them in? Look at him!" She gestured towards Jasper violently and his lips instinctively pulled back into a snarl. For the second time that day, Alice's hand came into contact with his shoulder. Apparently Rosalie was undeterred. "You're not bothered by - by that?!"

Jasper knew exactly what she was referring to. The many, many half-moon shaped scars that littered his face. He didn't know what she'd think if she happened to see the rest of his body.

"Rosalie, enough." Spoke Esme softly, the first words she had said since the pair of them arrived.

"We are understanding of everybody, Rosalie." Carlisle spoke. "And we respect that everybody has had different circumstances. You are well aware of that." Jasper felt a small sense of shame from Rosalie, but it didn't last long and soon her arrogance returned. "Alice, Major Whitlock, please follow us."

Major Whitlock, Jasper thought to himself. He'd soon have to correct that. But he figured he'd let it slide for now. Alice would surely explain.

Alice skipped eagerly behind them as Carlisle led them inside. Rosalie, clearly unhappy with the new development, walked straight up the stairs and further into the house away from them.

"Please, take a seat." Carlisle gestured towards the sofa opposite the loveseat where he and Esme had sat together. Clearly they were used to ignoring Rosalie's hostile behaviour.

Alice did so, crossing her legs at the knee.

"Jazz?" She questioned, but Jasper shook his head.

"Thank you. But I'd much prefer to stand, if it's all the same."

He couldn't sit. Not yet.

He didn't know anything about these vampires. He had to be ready to protect his wife, and himself, if necessary.

"Not a problem." Carlisle said easily. He then went on to introduce himself, giving the pair of them a bit of background. Jasper listened intently, taking in everything. Once Carlisle had finished, he gestured for his wife to do the same. They continued on, briefly introducing the members of the coven.

"Of course," Carlisle spoke, "that is just the basics. It's up to them to tell you more. I ask that you don't push, some of us have had struggles that we are none too keen on speaking of. I assure you, everybody will open up when they feel good and ready."

Good. Jasper thought to himself. At least they weren't stupid enough to give away important information to strangers.

He had mentioned that the other two males, Edward and Emmett, were out hunting and would be back shortly.

"Would you like to further introduce yourselves?"

Alice was quick to do so, but Jasper was thankful that she kept a lot to herself. He had been worried that she would spill everything to them. Carlisle and Esme were awed by her talent. And they seemed very impressed with their devotion to their coven when they became aware of their golden eyes. And, just like he had assumed, Alice had corrected them on how they addressed him.

"And how about you, Jasper?" Carlisle prompted, easily using his preferred title. Jasper didn't speak. He had told them all they needed to know. Anything else was too much. They knew his name. They knew his rank. They knew what Alice had told them.

"Jasper can be quite sensitive." Alice spoke softly, and Carlisle and Esme seemed to understand.

"That's not an issue." Carlisle assured him. "We'll not pry. I don't see that there would be any problems. So Alice, Jasper," He nodded to them in turn, "we are happy to have you join us."

Really? That easily? No initiation? No proving their strengths and their talents? That was it?

"Please, feel free to look around; get yourselves settled. Edward and Emmett will be back soon; you can meet them then."

Both Alice and Jasper nodded, thanking Carlisle and Esme.

"Upstairs there are a number of bedrooms. Take your pick."

Jasper followed Alice up the stairs, keeping a close eye on Carlisle and Esme as he did so.

Of course, Alice being Alice, they found themselves emptying out Edward's bedroom. Alice was adamant that he would be fine with it. Jasper figured they'd just have to wait and see.

Author's Note: I know that this topic has been done and over done, but I wanted to start off with something simple to see if people are wanting me to continue this. I have multiple chapters ready to be posted.

Thank you for reading, and please let me know what you think and if you would be interested in reading more.
